Seketai looked at the young man in front of him quietly. The young man's face was still childish, his lips were faintly fluffy, and his height was nearly seven feet. It was considered good among his peers, but it was similar to the others who stayed in the schoolyard. Compared to the examinee, it was the shortest one. Sektai suddenly smiled. Such a doll younger than Ma Chao could be dealt with with one hand. I don’t know how he has been mixed for so many rounds. , However, when he met himself, his luck was over,
With a big sword in his hand, the young man was a maroon horse. He also looked up and down Sektai's eyes. Suddenly he clasped his fists in his hands, and said thickly in the voice of the drake who had just uttered: "You must move first. Right,"
Sektai didn't expect that this stinky hairy boy would dare to despise himself, and couldn't help being furious. He urged his horse, waved his mace, and slammed his head over, but the boy didn't panic, his legs pinched his stomach. The burgundy horse sprinted into the oblique thorn, and the mace of Sektai hit the air. It was a little surprised by the mace. With the force of his arms, the mace brought a gust of wind and swept it across. , But hearing a loud "dang" sound, the mace was firmly resisted by the big knife in the young man's hand.
Seeing that his mace was actually blocked by this young man, Seketai was also slightly surprised. For so many rounds in the morning, Seketai was always hit with a single blow, and no one had walked under him for two rounds. This young man was able to connect him with two moves, which is also quite remarkable. No wonder he was able to break out of the siege and enter the afternoon test.
Just as he was stunned, the boy moved. He swung his mace off his mace, rushed past him, and took a backhand to the heart of the boy. Hearing the wind behind his head, the feeling is not good, his left hand lifted the rein hard, the snow green horse stood up, turned around in mid-air, and the young man smashed into the air with a certain knife.
But in this moment of effort, the young man has turned his horse's head, and a knife is as close as a knife, like a storm, and he has beaten Sektai again and again. Only after connecting six or seven moves can he return to one move. In a blink of an eye, the two have already fought There were more than twenty rounds, and the more he fought, the more frightened he became.
To be honest, Sektai's martial arts is not very smart. What he relies on is brute force. The previous candidates are all defeated by his strenuous blow, but the strength of this boy is not much smaller than that of him. But he is much more proficient. After more than twenty rounds, Sektai can only parry, and has no power to fight back.
Just when Seketai was in a hurry, the boy shouted, a gust of wind blew, and the knife smashed down like lightning. Seketai didn't have time to think, and he lifted his mace up with both hands, but felt light and light. Yes, without a trace of strength, Suddenly, Seketai felt his arms numb, and the mace in his hand flew out. It turned out that the young man's knife was a false move, and he raised his sword to meet him at Seketai. In an instant, the knife in his hand was lifted up with his backhand, and he easily picked out Seketai’s mace, and the big knife was pressed and placed on Seketai’s neck.
The young man's face sank and said coldly: "According to the young master's temper, you should be the result of this knife, but if you are lucky, my dad said, if you click it, don't get out of it."
Although the candidates who participated in the exam signed the life and death certificate, they did not hate each other deeply, and no one would kill each other. The only exception was Seketai. In the morning of the exam, three candidates had been injured under Seketai’s hands. , Two were seriously injured and one was slightly injured. In addition, a horse was smashed to death. Saiktai was a Huns who dared to bully the Han in Xiangyang. The boy was obviously a little angry.
Seketai didn't have so many thoughts. He originally imagined his biggest opponent as Ma Chao, but he was defeated by such an unknown boy. It was ashamed to be thrown at the grandmother's house, even though the boy spared his life. But he himself had no face to stay here anymore, dismounted, picked up the mace, and went back to the grassland in a dingy manner. From then on, he couldn't afford to resist the thought of the big man anymore.
On the stands, Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and he whispered: "This kid is not bad,"
Guan Yu stroked the three strands of long beard under his jaw, hehe smiled and said, "It's Guan Ping, the dog."
The martial arts exam is different from the liberal arts exam. It is a real sword and a gun here. The eight examiners are all experienced players. You can tell who wins and loses at a glance, so even if Guan Yu now says that this boy belongs to him Son, no one else has any objections. If Guan Ping can’t win on the court, the examiners will still be unable to help.
I heard that the young man who was pressing against Seketai was actually Guan Yu's son. Everyone was taken aback, and then they all praised him. Only Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "It's a pity,"
Guan Yu frowned and said displeased: "What did you say?"
Zhang Xi waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "If Linglang is allowed to take part in the next imperial examination, he might be able to get a martial arts champion back. Unfortunately, I have no hope this year, Yun Chang, it’s not that I said you. Linglang is only ten. Five or six years old, why bother to let him take the exam now?"
"You are talking about the Ma Teng family boy," Guan Yu sighed slightly and said, "Oh, I can't do anything about it. As you all know, the next imperial examination will take four years at the earliest. I can afford to wait, Ping'er can't afford to wait,"
Although Guan Yu never said it, in his heart, he still feels very sorry for the mother and son of Hu Jinding and Guan Ping. It was forgotten when he murdered Destiny Tianya. But afterwards, with Liu Bei, his life gradually became stable. When I came down, I didn’t send anyone to take the mother and son over. This thing was not done very authentically. Hu Jinding was okay. Anyway, he was his wife at home. Guan Yu wanted to make up for it most now.
Because Guan Yu is not around, Guan Ping doesn’t study much. If he wants to find a career, he has to join the army. However, Guan Ping is only sixteen years old this year. He must wait until he is eighteen to sign up for the army, and Guan Yu is now Liu Xin. The senior generals under his staff knew how Liu Xin planned. They really have to wait for Guan Ping to join the army at the age of eighteen. I am afraid that the world will be settled long ago. Without battles, there will be fewer chances of meritorious service. Even if the relevant Yu is in the army, The speed of promotion will not go anywhere,
The only feasible way for Guan Ping to get ahead as soon as possible is to pass the imperial examination, and there is no age limit for the imperial examination. Unfortunately, Ma Chao also participated in this year's martial arts examination. Even if Guan Yu doesn’t know Ma Chao’s outstanding achievements, From his perspective, he had already seen that this year's martial arts champion was Ma Chao, but Guan Yu did not want to miss this opportunity. As long as he could enter the top four, even if he entered the military with one foot, the past two years There must be a few tough battles to be fought in the inside, with him carrying, Guan Ping will someday come out.
As everyone expected, Ma Chao successfully won the first place. Except for the five rounds in the final match against Guanping, the other opponents all faced each other and decided the victory or defeat. Although they did not win the top pick, they did not win the championship. Guan Yu is still very satisfied with Ping’s second place result, because in this way, Guan Ping can at least be a Pioneer in the army, and he can even jump to the rank of lieutenant. The starting point is high, and in the future Promotion is much easier,
However, Ma Yun was a little disappointed. She discussed with Liu Xin for the purpose of organizing the imperial examinations in order to dig out those unknown talents. As for Ma Chao and Guan Ping, they were originally registered and will be reused sooner or later. Therefore, This year's martial arts exam was not considered successful. After three days, Ma Jun, the top pick in engineering, could barely be considered a half discovery. The reason for saying half is because Ma Yun still knows that there is such a character as Ma Jun, but Before he took the engineering examination, Ma Yun didn’t know where he was. Now, Ma Yun is pinning his hopes on tomorrow’s liberal arts examination. This is also the highlight of the imperial examination, so I put it at the end.
To put it bluntly, the imperial examination is to expand a new channel for selecting talents. Different examinations select different talents. Although talents in engineering, martial arts, and liberal arts are very important, but with the current level of science and technology, the most powerful engineering talents are not as good. Where to go, it is far worse than Ma Yun's own. But the army does not lack talents who can fight, so the most important thing is to select talents who can govern the world.
Ma Yun returned to the prefecture and shepherd mansion with a heart full of thoughts, and saw Cai Yan greeted stepping forward and said: "Sister Yun, my father is here, and I am playing with my little grandson in the back."
At this point, Cai Yan suddenly squeezed his eyes at Ma Yun. Cai Yong is a scholar of the Ministry of Etiquette and a college teacher. He will be the chief examiner for the liberal arts examination tomorrow. Now he suddenly came to the prefecture, and Cai Yan asked himself again. After winking, Ma Yun knew that Cai Yong must be here for the exam tomorrow, so she nodded and said, "Well, I'll go to the study and wait for the old man."
Sure enough, Cai Yong is here for the exam tomorrow. Because Ma Yun has taught in the academy for several years, he is also admired by the university inquirer because of his profound knowledge. The liberal arts exam tomorrow will be extremely important. Cai Yong is here. Some of them couldn't sit still at home, so they decided to come to see Ma Yun.
As soon as Cai Yong entered the study, he bowed his hand to Ma Yun and said, "Mrs. Qizhen, the lord told his subordinates two examination questions before leaving. The subordinates have been thinking hard for more than a month, but still can't decide which one to choose. Please ask Madam,"
Ma Yun was also very curious about what test questions Liu Xin, an inexperienced fellow, gave Cai Yong, but she has already figured it out these days, waved her hand, and said: "The test questions are top secret, although I It’s Mrs. Manager, but it’s better if you don’t know it. Mr. Cai, you are the examiner tomorrow. Naturally, you have full authority to decide. You don’t need to come and ask me. No matter which examination question you choose, I will definitely support you."
Although Cai Yong didn't get the answer he wanted, he also got Ma Yun's promise of "absolute support". He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed back, and went home to prepare for the exam tomorrow.
Ma Yun came out of the study and just came to the backyard. Seeing Cai Jue came hurriedly, she gave a blessing and said, "Sister Yun, my sister wants to see you for something,"
