…
Yan Xiu had already reached the point of giving it a try. From taking two hard punches to mobilizing the final power of Shura Dao, his calculations did not make any mistakes, and they could be said to be extremely precise.
However, he failed to calculate that Fang Zhengzheng would not retreat when faced with a slap from him at the last moment? !
"It seems that he is not afraid of pain!" An inexplicable thought flashed through Yan Xiu's mind, and then his face suddenly changed and became extremely pale.
Fang Zhengzheng's last action was to pounce forward. Such an action collided with his palm. Although Fang Zhengzheng's injury would be aggravated, it still had a strong impact.
And this impact was not in Yan Xiu's calculations.
"Poof!" The mouthful of blood that was originally in his mouth finally couldn't help but spurt out. The light red light wrapped around his body slowly disappeared without a trace the moment the blood spurted out.
because…
Yan Xiu no longer had any strength, or in other words, he fainted.
As a result, this preliminary trial with the Holy Lord personally watching the battle finally came to an end. However, no one could have guessed that the last key battle to determine the victory ended after the two people flew off the ring together.
"boom!"
dusty.
"Yan Xiu, how are you?" Fang Zhengzheng got up from the ground immediately after falling into the ring and picked up Yan Xiu from the ground.
"Imperial doctor!" The Holy Master Lin Mubai spoke without any hesitation.
"Here!" An imperial doctor who had been waiting under the ring for a long time responded quickly, then directly took Yan Xiu from Fang Zhengzheng's hand and began to treat him.
The situation on the field seemed a bit tense at this moment.
After all, Yan Xiu is a direct descendant of the Yan family, and he has shown such talent, both in public and private matters. Something unexpected happened during the competition, and everyone in the court lost their talents. The Xiliang Yan family was not easy to explain.
"Your Majesty, the injury is not serious. He is just in a coma due to collapse. He will recover within five days!" The imperial doctor immediately replied after checking Yan Xiu's injuries.
"Well, I'll leave Yan Xiu to you." The Holy Master Lin Mubai nodded.
"I accept the order!" After the imperial doctor said this, with the help of several guards, he lifted Yan Xiu and walked towards the outside.
The onlookers immediately made way for a passage.
Fang Zhengzheng saw that Yan Xiu was about to be carried off. He was not idle. After thinking about it, he ran towards the imperial doctor, as if he was ready to leave.
"Fang Zhengzheng, where do you want to go?" Pingyang pouted when he saw Fang Zhengzhi actually wanting to leave. What kind of occasion is this? Your father has not issued a decree, and the result has not been announced yet. How dare you run away
She had to stop this guy who didn't understand the rules.
Don't let him cause any more trouble.
"Go back to the princess. Didn't you see that I was injured? I need to find a doctor!" Fang Zhengzheng looked back at Pingyang with a painful expression on his face.
"See a doctor?" Pingyang wanted to say something, but you looked like you were injured, but the words came to your lips. Finally, he swallowed it.
After all, in the situation just now, Fang Zhengzheng should have been really injured.
Fang Zhengzheng saw that Pingyang didn't speak anymore and looked at Yan Xiu, who was about to disappear. He was about to leave again, but his luck didn't seem to be very good.
because. He was stopped again.
The person who stopped him was Xing Qingsui.
"Thank you, Fang Zhengzheng." Xing Qing said immediately, and his thanks naturally meant that Fang Zhengzheng made him realize what power is. Then, his eyes also looked at the wounds on Fang Zhengyi's body: "People in the Zhenguo Mansion have been here for many years. In battle, we need medicine to treat injuries. We also have some in our house. Do you want..."
What Xing Qingsui meant was whether he should go to the Zhenguo Mansion to get his injuries treated first.
However, he was interrupted by Fang Zhengzheng waving his hand: "No, I'm quite busy, let's go first!"
Then, without waiting for Xing Qingsui to speak again, he jumped away and ran away.
Xing Qing was left standing there, chasing him or not.
But when this scene fell in the eyes of the civil and military officials, it was a different scene.
"Xing Qing followed Fang Zhengzheng to say thank you? What was he thanking?"
"Does the Zhenguo Mansion really have any private dealings with Fang Zhengzheng?"
All the civil and military officials were guessing in their hearts, but even they did not dare to say such words openly, because Zhenguo Mansion was the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The head of the Thirteen Houses!
Without conclusive evidence, who would dare to discuss it
"Li Yuyi, please follow up and check the sword wielder's injury." The Holy Master Lin Mubai looked at Xing Qingsui, who was stunned on the spot, and then at Fang Zhengyi, who had run away. A light flashed in his eyes. Immediately, he said to an old doctor with gray hair next to him.
"I obey the order!" Imperial Physician Li nodded and immediately walked towards Fang Zhengyi's direction.
The civil and military officials looked at the few people leaving and the empty arena, and suddenly felt that something was not right.
Is this all gone? So who will win in this competition
"Did you see clearly? Who landed first just now?"
"It seems to be Fang Zhengzheng. After all, Fang Zhengzheng was bombed down."
"This is not certain, because Yan Xiu is already unconscious, so he can no longer suppress Fang Zhengyi in the air, and it is not impossible to land first. In addition, after Yan Xiu is unconscious, he has lost his combat effectiveness. If judged according to the rules, Yan Xiu should be considered the loser."
"The invigilator did not announce that Yan Xiu had lost his fighting ability just now, so he should have indicated that the competition is still going on. According to the rules, the judge will still be based on whose body touches the ground first."
Civil and military officials were discussing one after another. After all, the outcome of this competition is also related to the ranking when the imperial examination is released, so we must be cautious.
"This preliminary examination of the palace examination will still follow the rules of the imperial examination. Three days later, the imperial academy and the princes and princes who will invigilate the examination will prepare and submit the results together!" Holy Sage Lin Mubai listened to the discussion below, but did not express anything. Any opinions, but directly announced in public.
"My son, I accept the decree!"
"My son, I accept the decree!"
"I'm waiting for the order!"
Duan Xinjue, the Ninth Prince Lin Yun, and the envoys from the Royal Academy all knelt down to receive the order after hearing the words of the Holy Master Lin Mubai.
The Holy Lord Lin Mubai nodded, turned and left.
Pingyang's face seemed to be a little resentful because of Fang Zhengzheng's departure. As soon as he stood up from the chair, he remembered something again: "Brother Six, it was you who sent the sun-shooting bow to my house. Or should I send someone there?" Take it?"
"Brother Six will have someone send it to Sister Pingyang tomorrow!" When Duan Xinjue heard this, his expression suddenly changed, but in the end he gritted his teeth.
"Thank you so much, Brother Six!" The resentment on Pingyang's face dissipated instantly at this time.
…
The preliminary examination of the palace examination ended with great fanfare under the spotlight, but everyone knew that what happened in the preliminary examination of the palace examination today was not really over.
How Fang Zhengzheng could master the unique skills of Shenhou Mansion and Zhenguo Mansion at the same time has attracted the attention of civil and military officials and major princes.
Moreover, the most important thing is that this competition is related to the finals of the imperial examination. There isn't really a clear outcome.
Who will be the real winner in this test
Is it Fang Zhengzheng or Yan Xiu
The answer will only be announced to the world when the list is unveiled three days later.
Also, there is one more thing.
An incident that has been suppressed by the Holy Master Lin Mubai is the massacre of sergeants in Beishan Village.
Fang Zhengzheng did not return to Yanjing City, so if the Ministry of Punishment wanted to bring Fang Zhengzheng to trial, it would have to get an order from the Holy Emperor himself before sending troops to Beishan Village to arrest him.
Among them, it also involves the fact that Fang Zhengzheng has just been promoted to the fourth-level swordsman. If the person is brought to trial immediately, will it make people think there is an excuse to recover the traceless sword
These are all questions.
However, as Fang Zhengzheng returned to Yanjing City, these problems were no longer a problem. A murder case involving the lives of more than a hundred soldiers in the army.
It’s impossible to just let things go, right
Even the Holy Lord Lin Mubai had no reason to press on at this time, so it became a matter of course that this case would be brought to trial by the Ministry of Punishment.
In the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace. Wan Chong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, handed the prepared memorial to Prince Lin Tianrong with both hands. As long as Prince Lin Tianrong gave his approval, he could present the memorial at the court tomorrow morning.
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping calmly sat below Prince Lin Tianrong. He tapped the table gently with his right hand, frowning slightly, looking a little hesitant.
"What do you mean by your father-in-law?" Prince Lin Tianrong threw this problem out in good faith.
"This is a good opportunity, but... it's just good." Zuo Xiangyu Yiping thought for a moment and finally spoke slowly.
"Can you please give me a clear explanation?" Prince Lin Tianrong looked confused.
"According to my investigation, in Beishan Village that day, in addition to Fang Zhengzheng, there was also Chi Guyan from the Shenhou Mansion and Princess Pingyang. With these two people, it would be impossible to change the nature of this case. That would give Fang Zhengzheng the crime of excessive killing."
"Does Mr. Zuo Xiang want to let him go just like this?" Upon hearing this, Wan Chong, the Minister of Punishment, frowned and seemed a little unwilling.
"Since we can't hit it with one blow, I don't think it would be better to just let this case become a fish bone stuck in the throats of civil and military officials. Maybe it will be more effective."
"Do you mean to wait a little longer?" Prince Lin Tianrong seemed to be relieved.
"Well, I've been waiting for so long anyway, so I don't mind waiting a little longer. The results of the imperial examination will be out soon. King Duan should have a bigger headache now. Let's see how he determines the results! "Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping nodded.
"Okay, then let's do it according to Xiangfu's wish. We might as well suppress Wan Shangshu's memorial first!"
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
…
Today's Royal Academy seems a bit noisy compared to the tranquility of the past.
The results of the imperial examination are still not finalized yet, and the time limit given by the Holy Emperor is only three days, which really gives the envoys a headache.
What's even more troublesome is that Han Changfeng, the former governor of the Royal Academy, is still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The acting governor suddenly fell ill and the group is leaderless.
In Yanjing City, in the streets, alleys, teahouses and hotels, the talented and beautiful people are all speculating on the results of the imperial examination in three days.
Under the red signs of major gambling houses, bets are also posted.
"Come on, come on, it's time to beat the rankings, come and beat me, you'll pay as much as you beat! If you beat Yan Xiu, you'll pay two for one, and if you beat Fang Zhengzheng, you'll pay three for one!"
"I'll press fifty taels!"
"Go to the fifty-tael side! I'll bet on two hundred taels, and I bet that Yan Xiu will be at the top of the list!"
Noisy sounds rang out in Yanjing City, adding a hint of hustle and bustle to the already bustling Yanjing City.
And among the major restaurants and inns.
Everywhere you can see a group of young men wearing brocade clothes gathered together. They are all talented people who came to participate in this imperial examination. So, of course, they are extremely concerned about the ranking of the top candidates in this imperial examination.
"Master Li, what are your opinions on the release of results for this imperial examination?"
"Takami doesn't dare to talk about it, but it's not difficult to guess."
"Oh? Please ask Mr. Li for advice!"
"Actually, this matter can be guessed in reverse. This competition is a competition without results. Then, the result can be determined by people. Therefore, we only need to guess the result that most people want. ”
"The result that most people want? Mr. Li means that Yan Xiu takes the top spot?"
"Yan Xiu's strength displayed in the competition was overwhelming, and judging from the level of concern of the Holy Emperor, it was far superior to Fang Zhengyi. This time the Holy Lord returned the right to determine the results to the Royal Academy, and the result is actually clear. "
"Master Li is indeed worthy of being ranked first in the last imperial examination. These remarks are indeed ridiculing. As far as I know, after Han Changfeng was imprisoned, King Duan had the final say on the final list of the imperial examination. Last time Fang Zhengzheng killed more than a hundred people from the military sect, so presumably King Duan will take this opportunity to give the military sect an explanation."
"That's right, for a commoner to reach this point, he has been blessed by cultivating for several lifetimes in his previous life. How can he get the top spot in the imperial examination? Whoever topped the imperial examination list in the Great Xia Dynasty was not a famous figure. It was Chi Guyan in the previous term, and Nangong Hao in the last term, they are both extraordinary talents!"
"The Yan family has been silent for nearly ten years, but I didn't expect that it would be a blockbuster if it didn't sing!"
"Hahaha, that's right! My cousin served as a governor in Yan's Mansion a few years ago. He should be able to arrive in Yanjing City tomorrow, and we can make some friends in advance."
"I heard that Yan Xiu is as cold as frost. When the time comes, I will have to trouble Brother Chen to lead the way."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
…
While there was a lot of discussion in Yanjing City, Prince Duan's palace was eerily quiet. Rows of soldiers in armor were patrolling back and forth. Not a single bird sang within a hundred meters in front of the palace gate.
"Mr. Hua, His Royal Highness Prince Duan has been waiting for you in the study since he returned to the palace. Until now, he has not drank a glass of water or a sip of soup. Can Mr. Hua..."
"Well, leave it to me, I'll carry it in!" Mr. Hua reached out to take the food box from the butler's hand, and nodded to indicate that the butler could leave.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Hua." The butler immediately excused himself.
Mr. Hua looked at the food box in his hand, but did not rush into the study. Instead, he turned and walked towards a nearby pavilion.
"His Royal Highness usually discusses matters in the patrol camp, but today he is in the study. It seems that this problem is not something I can solve. Wait!"
Mr. Hua had just sat down in the pavilion when a figure covered in a cloak came not far away.
"Come so fast? You're showing off your edge too much!" Mr. Hua looked at the figure getting closer and closer, an imperceptible sneer flashing across his lips.
