At the same time.
In Lanshan Black Wind Village, Ping'an County.
This once famous mountain village is now littered with corpses.
A bearded man covered in scars kneeled on the ground.
Lin An stood in front of him holding a sword and said coldly:
"Do you have anything else to say?"
The bearded man did not beg for mercy, but stared at Lin An:
"Why do you want to destroy my Black Wind Village?"
"You are a bandit, and everyone can kill you."
The bearded man was confused:"But I think that I have never done anything bad in all these years......."
"You are a bandit, that's enough."Lin An was too lazy to listen to the bearded man's explanation.
The sword flashed.
A big head flew up directly.
Lin An shook off the blood stains on the sword and sheathed it.
Suddenly his body softened and he couldn't stand steadily.
He always felt that he had lost something.
"Why is your body suddenly so weak?"Lin An was shocked.
After checking, he still couldn't find any problem.
"Maybe I have killed too many people recently and I am a little exhausted. I will take a few days off!" Lin An did not think about it any further.......
A month later, in Luodu.
It was early spring, and everything was reviving.
The weather was still very cold.
In the early morning, in every inn and house in Luodu, there were sounds of reading or shouting.
Tomorrow is the imperial examination, and all of them are candidates going to Beijing to take the exam.
Wang Xuan also got up and was in the martial arts field of the palace.
He held a huge stone lock in each hand, dancing with great vigor as if nothing was there.
He was only wearing a loose thin shirt, and the heat was steaming up a cloud of mist above his head.
The guards on the side all showed respectful eyes.
Uncle Fu came over with tea and snacks:
"Master, take a break! Have some cakes and tea."
"Good!"
Wang Xuan threw the stone lock in his hand to the ground, and it embedded perfectly into a pit more than ten inches deep.
And this pit was made by Wang Xuan with the stone lock in this month.
Wang Xuan took the silk handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped the sweat off his face.
The maid looked at the bulging outline on his body and her face blushed slightly.
Wang Xuan teased:"Is it big?"
"big......Your Highness, please stop teasing me!" The maid was a little embarrassed and angry for a moment.
""Hahaha!" Wang Xuan pinched the maid's face.
His hand felt smooth and tender, so tender that it could squeeze out water, and he couldn't let it go.
"If your Highness is alright, I will take my leave now. The maid bowed and left with a blushing face.
"If the young master likes Hong Yuan, he can take her into his room as a concubine." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Wang Xuan said righteously:"Uncle Fu, what you said is wrong. Now the royal palace is in crisis. How can I have time to consider the love affairs of my children?"
Uncle Fu nodded in agreement, tears flashing in his eyes.
Miss, did you see it?
The young master has grown up!
Wang Xuan sighed in his heart. Do you think I don't want to?
I can't!
Before the Pure Yang Wuji Gong is perfected, it is impossible for him to break the skill!
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan vented his depression on the cakes and tea in front of him.
While eating, he asked:"What did the Ministry of War say, did they agree?"
Uncle Fu shook his head:"They still disagree, saying that the young master is the prince of the royal palace and cannot compete with the people for profit." Wang Xuan frowned:
"Are those old guys so unreasonable? I just want a reference quota, even if I don't become an official in the end, it doesn't matter." Uncle
Fu advised:"Young master, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, why do you have to participate in the martial arts test with those people!"
Wang Xuan was even more depressed.
He originally thought that he could suppress Lin An in the martial arts test, but he didn't expect that he had no qualification to participate.
The reason was very simple. If hereditary nobles participated in the imperial examination, it would squeeze out the upward channel of common people.
"The current dynasty still understands the principle of"running water does not rot, and door hinges do not rot".
Therefore, the imperial examinations defaulted to the fact that nobles were not qualified to participate, and the nobles also had their own reservations and would not join in the fun.
If Wang Xuan had not wanted to suppress Lin An and plunder his luck, he would not have participated in any martial arts test.
Isn't it better to take shortcuts?
"It's okay. If you don't want to participate, then don't participate. I can go and watch when the martial arts test comes!"
Then I'll see if I can find a chance to suppress Lin An and destroy his chance.
This month, Wang Xuan used his luck points to speed up his training, and also exchanged for Yijin Dan from the mall.
He knew that biting off more than he could chew.
A bird in the hand is better than a hundred birds in the forest.
He practiced the Golden Bell Cover to perfection.
It was definitely more than enough to deal with Lin An.
The only drawback was that he couldn't get to the last step of perfection, and it always felt like something was missing.
After all, if the Golden Bell Cover was perfect, it should be able to condense the flower of essence.
But Wang Xuan didn't dwell on it for too long.
With the system, perfection was a matter of time.......
The next morning.
The imperial examination held every three years in Daqian officially began.
The first was the three-day literary examination.
Most people in the imperial examination took the literary examination.
It was not that the martial examination was not valued.
Daqian was founded on martial arts, and there has always been a tradition of emphasizing martial arts over literature.
In addition, this is a world of high martial arts, and personal martial arts can, to a certain extent, turn the tide, so of course it is extremely important.
But it can be said that"poor literature and rich martial arts".
The cost of learning martial arts is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Apprenticeship, meat, elixir, weapons, which one does not cost money.
So people whose families are not well-off can only learn literature to seek a way out.
This kind of people account for the majority.
Only those who can afford the expenses, or those who are gifted and willing to pay for them will take the martial examination.
The martial examination started one day after the literary examination.
The martial examination lasted for a total of ten days.
The first nine days were about military tactics, horse riding, archery, and weightlifting.
Wang Xuan did not go.
It was not until the end that the last two hundred people were selected to compete in the ring.
The last day of the martial examination.
The training ground outside Xuanwu Gate in the east of Luodu City.
Early in the morning, the entrance was crowded with people.
They were all Luodu people who came to join in the fun.
The martial arts competition was open to the public.
They had basically no entertainment on weekdays, so the martial arts competition that took place once every three years was naturally not to be missed.
Wang Xuan arrived late, and when he brought Uncle Fu to the scene, he was also shocked to see a dark mass in front of him.
There were even various vendors in the corners.
"Master, there are too many people here, let's go in first!" Uncle Fu said
"No hurry!"
Wang Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes searched the crowd, and then his eyes lit up.
Then he moved his feet slightly, and the crowd blocking him was separated like a stream of water.
Wang Xuan walked along the separated stream of people leisurely.
"Oops! Who pushed me?"
"Step on my foot!"
"Lecher! Watch out!"
"Ah!"
After a brief commotion, the separated crowds gathered again.
Fu Bo's pupils shrank, and he muttered to himself:
"The young master's martial arts are becoming more and more incomprehensible......"
At this time, Wang Xuan, the instigator of the riot, came to a small stall.
There were all kinds of names written on it, as well as the corresponding odds.
"Come, come, place your bets! Who will win the first place in the martial arts test? Don’t miss it if you pass by!"
""Sir, how about betting some money and playing a few hands?" asked a buck-toothed man in front of the stall.
Wang Xuan smiled and said,"Great!"
"I'll buy him for two hundred thousand taels."
He pointed at Lin An's name, which said twenty to one.
The bucktoothed man was stunned, then asked suspiciously,"Two hundred thousand taels......Are you sure?"
Wang Xuan nodded and took out the banknote on his body.
The bucktoothed man took the banknote and looked at it.
It was real! He was immediately ecstatic.
He was afraid that Wang Xuan would regret it, so he quickly wrote him a bet ticket.
Wang Xuan took the ticket and turned around and left.
People around him talked about it.
"Is this young man crazy? He actually bet 200,000 on a person who was predicted to be ranked 50th to win the championship?"
Lin An's ranking in various basic tests was not very high, and he had no chance of winning the championship.
In the past years of Daqian's martial arts test, the first place was basically won by the people who were predicted to be ranked in the top ten, and there has never been an exception.
"Whose son is this? So much money wasted without blinking an eye"
"I want to do business with him too."
"Me too!"
"Bucktooth Su is going to make a fortune this time~ This is two hundred thousand taels!"
Wang Xuan heard it of course, but just sneered.
Uncle Fu was also puzzled:"Master, you and Lin An are not......"
He really didn't understand this operation. How could he buy the enemy to win?
Wang Xuan was not aimless.
Behind this was a great opportunity for the protagonist Lin An.
