Villain: We agreed to cancel the engagement, what are you regretting?

Everyone saw Liu Qu bowing and asking for instructions.

The nobles sitting at the same table with Wang Xuan started to talk among themselves.

"Who is behind the curtain? How could he be so famous? Even Lord Liu had to show respect to him."

"Could it be that His Majesty has arrived at the scene?"

"How is that possible? This is just an examination. The emperor will not come."

"Don't guess, I just asked the old man, it's Qing Xiang who came"

"No wonder......"

Hearing the term"Qing Xiang", everyone was no longer surprised, but felt it was natural.

Wang Xuan was also stunned:"Why is she here too?"

The person called"Qing Xiang" was the empress's close secretary, the inner servant Murong Wanqing, who was deeply trusted by the empress.

It is said that"the third-rank official is in front of the prime minister", not to mention that she follows the current emperor, the person with the greatest power in Daqian. He is just a fifth-rank close official, but he is responsible for handling the memorials of hundreds of departments, participating in government affairs, and even mastering military strategies and the power of life and death.

He is the right-hand man of the empress, and his power is even greater than that of the prime minister, so everyone calls him"Qing Xiang".

Wang Xuan was surprised at first about Murong Wanqing's arrival.

Because although the joint examination is important, it is not worth it for a big figure like her to come in person. After all, there is still a palace examination later, so we can see then.

Unless she has someone she wants to see.

Wang Xuan reacted and sneered:

"Are you here to see Lin An? Interesting......"

《In the plot of"Da Jiang Hu", Lin An shined in both the civil and military examinations and won the first place. He was also deeply loved by the empress in the palace examination and was selected as the top scholar.

Later, he worshipped Murong Wanqing as his teacher, and soared to the sky.

Wang Xuan always thought that Lin An became a teacher after the imperial examination, but now it seems that he should have known Murong Wanqing a long time ago.

This also answered a doubt in his previous life.

Since the empress ascended the throne, several imperial examinations have been held, and there are one or two talents like Lin An.

But why didn't he get super-standard reuse like Lin An before

? Is it just because he is a little handsome?

Now it seems that people who can become emperors are not so superficial.

Instead, Lin An had someone in the court at the beginning, and this person was Murong Wanqing.

With the empress's trust in Murong Wanqing, she would naturally care about the people she recommended.

If he can be remembered by the Emperor of Daqian, then Lin An's road will be widened.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly.

He was not interested in the relationship between Murong Wanqing and Lin An.

However, Murong Wanqing's appearance here might affect his plan to slap his face.

"Humph! If she dares to interfere, I will deal with her as well." What

's the matter with the prime minister or not ? Not to mention that Daqian doesn't have a prime minister now, but only a cabinet.

Even if there is one, it dare not do anything to his Zhenbei Palace!

What's more, Murong Wanqing is not a real prime minister, so why should I be afraid of her? Thinking of this, Wang Xuan no longer had any interest in her, and looked lazily at the arena below.

It had been a while since then, and most of the sixteen arenas were filled with people fighting in pairs, while those who were not fighting were standing below the stage and watching carefully.

The first stage of the arena competition was to defend the arena.

There were a total of sixteen arenas, and whoever stood on it before noon would be the final winner.

For example, even if someone won many games at the beginning, as long as he was defeated in the last game, it would be fine.

is to lose.

This method is not absolutely fair, and it is even dramatic.

The last sixteen people are not necessarily the strongest sixteen.

This will test the wisdom of each martial artist.

Wang Xuan also admires this examination mechanism set up by the court.

Although the martial arts test is a test of martial arts, Daqian does not select brainless warriors with well-developed limbs, but soldiers who need to be in charge of military strategies.

This is the foundation of Daqian's strength.

This defense system is a good way to screen out those brainless people.

As the protagonist, Lin An is naturally not a brainless person.

He did not stand on the stage to defend the ring at the beginning, but stood under the stage to conserve his strength.

He also squinted at the people on the stage, as if calculating the weaknesses of his opponent.

"A son of luck is so cowardly? Do you want to let others have fun?"Wang Xuan couldn't help complaining.

He hoped that Lin An would rush to the stage to defend the ring right from the start.

With his obscurity, many people would definitely challenge him, and it would be best if he could be defeated in a round-robin battle.

However, Wang Xuan knew that this was unrealistic. It was very likely that even if he defended the ring, he would be able to do so, and he might even break through under pressure.

After all, the son of luck is so unreasonable.

After watching for a while, seeing that Lin An did not move, Wang Xuan looked away, as if he had seen something, and his pupils shrank.

On the middle stage.

A man in a green tights, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

A rotten silver spear was across his knees.

There was no one watching on the stage where he was, and no one went up to challenge him.

Wang Xuan stared at the face of the man in the tights, but felt a little familiar, but could not remember who he was.

At this time, someone nearby was also talking about this person.

"Look, who is that person over there?"

"who?"

"He is the only man sitting on the ground, unchallenged."

"You don't know him?"

"Don’t keep me in suspense, tell me now!"

"That person is the person recognized as the best predictor of this martial arts test, Yang Linzheng"

"It's him? He's so handsome in real life! Not as scary as the rumors say"

"Don't be a fangirl. He is the son of the mighty general. He doesn't like you."

"I see, I'm just saying it, but why doesn't anyone challenge him? Is it because of his identity?"

"Identity is secondary, the main reason is that Yang Linzheng is very strong"

"Tell me, how strong is it?"

"Do you know why our martial arts test has an age limit of under thirty?"

"I know this. Only those who are in the Xiantian stage before the age of 30 can become a Grandmaster."

"Do you know how old Yang Linzheng was when he entered the Xiantian realm?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Eighteen years old!"

A gasp sounded.

"He achieved the Xiantian realm at the age of 18, which is rare in the entire Daqian."

"Without exception, the worst ones all became top-notch!"

Top-notch talent!

This is something that no one can even dream of.

"Yang Linzheng is now 28 years old. Three years ago, he was at the second flower innate realm. If he had not gathered the third flower to become a perfect master, he would have been a master long ago."

Everyone was amazed.

Yang Linzheng?

The son of General Shenwei?

Wang Xuan remembered that he had met Yang Linzheng when he was a child.

But he was still young at that time, and his memory was not clear. He only remembered his gloomy face all day long.

Wang Xuan was not familiar with Yang Linzheng. Instead, he played more with his sister.

He never saw him again afterwards.

So he only felt familiar at first sight, but did not recognize him.

Unexpectedly, ten years later, he actually saw him in the martial arts test.

"It's strange, why would the son of General Shenwei take part in the military test?"

General Shenwei is the best military commander of the dynasty, a first-rank official, and was conferred the title of Duke of Song.

His son definitely doesn't need to take part in this military test.

If he can take part, why can't I?

Wang Xuan was a little annoyed.

After the military test, he must interrogate the Ministry of War severely!

Time passed little by little.

Wang Xuan stared at Lin An from time to time, but he was as steady as an old dog and just didn't go on stage.

He simply closed his eyes and rested, and Uncle Fu even thoughtfully prepared a silk eye mask for him.

I don't know how long it took.

"Is Li Dazhuang going to lose?"

"How is this possible? He was predicted to be ranked tenth, and I bet five thousand taels of silver on him to enter the second round."

"Who is his opponent? Not only is he handsome, but he also has beautiful sword skills! I like him so much!"

"Let me take a look. It seems to be called......Lin An?
