As the leader of the Four Kingdoms, Huashan is the country with the largest territory and the largest territory. It does not only focus on civil examinations or military examinations, but treats them equally.
The martial arts examination is divided into outer field and inner field. The outer field refers to the skill of bowing and horsemanship, commonly known as martial arts test; the inner field refers to the strategy and discussion of martial arts, commonly known as kaowen. If those who fail the outer field test will be directly disqualified from the inner field examination. Wen is also very important in martial arts.
The test in the field is divided into one and two tests. In the first test, the horse archery skills are tested. The horse is galloped three times and nine arrows are fired. If three arrows hit the target, the person is qualified. Those who fail to reach the three arrows are not allowed to participate in the second test. Test on foot shooting and martial arts. Shooting three out of nine times on foot is considered qualified. The so-called "martial arts" are actually the gestures of martial arts.
Candidates who can take the Beijing Examination are no longer ordinary people. Whether it is riding, galloping, or foot shooting, etc., they all have certain abilities. Even if they are both candidates, they are still amazed when they see each other's amazing shooting skills. of.
However, this does not include Bai Xi, who has transformed into Yuehua. Although her eyes are on the examination room, it is not clear whether she is seriously watching the performance of other candidates or in a daze. She just leans on with an indifferent expression. He stood motionless against the wall.
"Master Yue, it turns out you are here. I finally found you."
Bai Xi glanced sideways at the person coming, and then moved her gaze to the examination room. In fact, she was observing every candidate here. Although this martial arts examination was an imperial examination for the imperial court to select talents, it was also for her to select talents. Great time.
"I'm Lingyang. I met Young Master Yue at the door on the last day of registration. Do you remember Young Master Yue?" The visitor didn't care whether he disturbed the other party or not and continued to "strike up" a conversation.
Bai Xi nodded, as if he still remembered this matter.
"Young Master Yue seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He came to participate in the martial arts competition at such a young age. It seems that Young Master Yue is very confident." Ling Yang said with a pure smile. He had been looking for a long time before he found it. Mr. Yue, this time, he can't miss the opportunity again.
"Yes." Bai Xi responded lightly.
"Master Yue is from Fengcheng. I wonder if Master Yue has ever met Lord Bingdian?" Ling Yang asked directly to the point, but when he mentioned the word "Bingdian", his eyes were full of admiration. , one can tell at a glance that he belongs to a group of star chasers, and the star he chases is the famous Feng Ming.
The black eyes moved and his gaze fell on Ling Yang, "Are you his fan?"
Ling Yang was suddenly confused, "Fans? Mr. Yue, I'm not hungry yet, and I don't like eating fans very much." It's really strange, is Mr. Yue hungry
Bai Xi didn't want to explain the meaning of the word "fan" to him, and allowed the other party to misunderstand him. "You took the martial arts exam because you wanted to meet Feng Ming, and even wanted to be an official in the same court as her?"
Ling Yang's face turned red and he nodded shyly.
"When you signed up that day, you knew that I was from Fengcheng and it was very likely that I knew Feng Ming, so you thought of using the jade pendant as an opportunity to get close to me and get close to Feng Ming." She would not have any dislike for this person because of this. On the contrary, I admired him a little.
Ling Yang felt even more embarrassed, but he still nodded with a blushing face, looking at Bai Xi expectantly, "Master Yue, you and Master Bingdian should be very familiar with each other."
Bai Xi raised his eyebrows. This man looks pretty good and seems to have a good mind, "Oh? Tell me why you are so sure that I know him well?"
"If I said it was intuition, would you believe it?" Ling Yang said nervously, as if he was afraid that the other party would mistakenly think that he was secretly investigating him.
Bai Xi stared straight at Ling Yang, and it took a long time for him to say one word, "Letter."
Ling Yang was overjoyed and seemed a little excited. He couldn't help but stepped forward and took Bai Xi's hands, "Is Lord Bingdian really as good as he says?"
Bai Xi didn't show any anger, and just pulled back his hands lightly. Ling Yang scratched the back of his head and apologized sincerely.
Bai Xi did not answer his question, but asked instead, "You took the exam for the first prize in martial arts because you wanted to meet Feng Ming or become an official in the same court with him?" When she withdrew her hands just now, she waited for the opportunity to feel Ling Yang's pulse. After exploring it, I found that his internal strength is not weak, and he still has a certain foundation. If you make good use of this person, you will definitely get unexpected gains.
Ling Yang looked at Bai Xi with burning eyes, "Well, ever since I found out that Lord Bingdian became the prime minister of our dynasty, I have been looking for opportunities to meet Lord Bingdian, but every time I can only look at Bingdian from a distance. In your carriage, I couldn’t see Mr. Bingdian at all, let alone want to talk to Mr. Bingdian. So when the imperial examination was coming, I begged my father to help me refer to the opportunity of this martial arts examination, because only in this way could I Enter the court as an official so that you can meet Lord Bingdian, so..." Although he did not finish the rest of the words, Bai Xi could guess that Ling Yang, like her, had intervened halfway.
"Your father is..."
"Commander of the Forward Battalion." After Ling Yang looked around to make sure that no one around him noticed them, he said softly. There was no trace of showing off or pride on his face, but a look of admiration for Feng Ming.
Bai Xi nodded lightly. It seemed that Feng Ming's fan had quite a long history.
"What do you think you have a chance of winning?" Just now an idea flashed in her mind, that is, to take this person for her own use.
"Huh?" Ling Yang was startled, as if he couldn't immediately understand the meaning of Bai Xi's words.
"If I tell you clearly now that as long as I am here, you cannot win the title of Wushuangyuan, will you continue to fight with me?" She must win the first place in this imperial examination.
Bai Xi didn't wait for Ling Yang to answer and continued, "Maybe I'll put it this way, do you want to serve the imperial court or do you want to work under Feng Ming?"
Ling Yang's face was full of excitement, as if he didn't dare to believe Bai Xi's words, and even started to stutter a little when he spoke, "Yue... Young Master Yue, you mean that I... I can be... in the ice... Mr. Bingdian..."
Bai Xi didn't wait for Ling Yang to finish what he said, and said directly, "But you have to let me see your ability first. Let's take this riding and shooting test. You show your ability. If you can, you After walking out of this examination room, someone will arrange everything." Although Ling Yang has a good foundation, he is not a talent. He needs to take a closer look at it, and then develop it carefully, and a capable subordinate will come out.
"Okay... Okay." Ling Yang couldn't believe that not only was he going to see Lord Bingdian, but he could even do things for Lord Bingdian. He couldn't believe that this was true. He must not be dreaming.
Bai Xi watched Ling Yang reach out and pinch his face hard, then cheered loudly, shook his head and smiled. This Ling Yang was somewhat similar to Qingwu's monkey.
At this time, it was Ling Yang's turn to come on stage. After he said to Bai Xi that he would not let her down, he moved on to the stage.
Ling Yang did not disappoint Bai Xi. He jumped onto the horse neatly and galloped backwards. Later, he actually held the reins with one hand and held the stirrup with only one foot. He actually lay down on his back and the other He stepped on the bow, then aimed at the target with one hand and pulled the bow string. The sharp arrow shot straight into the bull's eye like thunder and lightning. The target was still shaking tremblingly after being hit, which clearly showed the master's skill in archery. Archery skills.
There were constant cheers and applause. Both the candidates and the invigilators praised his shooting and riding skills.
Naturally, Ling Yang's next test results did not disappoint Bai Xi. Bai Xi curled her lips and smiled. It seemed that she had found a treasure this time.
Mounted archery is not a difficult task for Bai Xi. Although she does not have the extraordinary posture to shoot arrows like Ling Yang, she can be seen galloping directly on her horse, but her speed is indeed extremely fast, faster than anyone before. It should be a few points faster. Not only that, she actually took out three arrows at once, and shot them out with a swift and rapid movement. The referee standing next to the target almost heard only one sound, and the three swords hit the bullseye at the same time. The wonderful shooting skills made the examination room cheer again.
After firing nine arrows and shooting three times, the arrow hit the red heart. Coupled with his extraordinary riding skills, he stood out among the candidates, and the word "Moonlight" was imprinted in everyone's mind.
However, after one test, besides her, there were three other people with outstanding results. One of those three people was Ling Yang, who was poached by Bai Xi. At the same time, most of the candidates were rejected, and there were also a few who were selected by Bai Xi and accepted as her subordinates. As long as she trained them a little, these people would definitely not be inferior to those qualified candidates.
Winning the second test is naturally in Bai Xi's hands. It is better to say that the court is recruiting talents than she is selecting, because even if those candidates are qualified, the candidates chosen by Bai Xi will also After being persuaded by her to be accepted as her subordinate, in the two martial arts examinations, the biggest beneficiary was not the court, but her, Bai Xi!
After walking out of the examination room, Bai Xi took a deep breath. It was finally over. All that was left was to wait for the day when the results were released, and then to wait for the last step, the palace examination. She didn't expect that the exam would be such a tiring thing, but compared to those candidates who started from the child exam, it was easier for her.
"Master, the master is still in the palace. I wonder if the master should return home first or go directly to the first-class building?" Wuying asked softly, with incomparable respect in his words.
"Yipinlou." She naturally knew that the return home Wuying mentioned was referring to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now she just wanted to have a good meal and have a good rest. In addition, she had other things to arrange.
She heard that the person sent by the Qilin Kingdom this time was the son of the King of Xiangyang, and that he was entering the city today and living in a first-class building. Naturally, she had to get to know the future King of Xiangyang well before Ye Muli's birthday party. yes.
"yes."
However, when Bai Xi was about to get into the car, a figure suddenly appeared and hugged her tightly. The figure's excited and enthusiastic voice could be heard in her ears, "Hey, Yueyue, I miss you so much."
