The Habayashi Army outside the Tianshu Mausoleum suddenly became tense, and when the dense bowstrings were tense, countless crossbows aimed at Wang Po's back.
There was smoke and dust rising in the distance, the ground shook slightly, and the sound of hooves could not be heard, but it should be that the Xuanjia cavalry was gathering.
Before these things happened, the warning signal had already been issued, and it was going to all parts of Kyoto.
The state church cavalry reacted very quickly, even if they did not receive any order to leave the palace, hundreds of cavalry galloped over and stopped in front of the stone gate of Tianshu Mausoleum.
After three years, the two sides began to face off again.
Wang Po seemed to be completely ignorant of these things that happened outside the stone, and walked towards the already verdant Mausoleum of Heavenly Books.
Looking at his back, a priest from the Li Palace couldn't help asking: "Sir, where are you these days?"
This is the answer everyone in Kyoto wants to know.
Wang Po didn't look back, and said, "I've always been here."
Hearing Wang Po's answer, no matter it was the priest, the Orthodox cavalry, or the Habayashi Army in the outer circle, they were very surprised.
No one thought that Wang Po was in the Tianshu Mausoleum these days, and ordinary people could not enter the mausoleum, so naturally they would not be able to see him.
He appeared before everyone today because he wanted to let the world know what he was going to do.
Just what is he going to do
It has been a long time since Wang Po entered the Tianshu Mausoleum to observe the stele and enlightened the Dao, but it seems that he has not forgotten those experiences.
He found a road in the forest very familiarly, and walked southwest.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he came to a small courtyard.
There are naturally no oranges in the orange grove in early spring, but I always feel that there is a faint smell of green oranges in the air.
These days, Wang Po lives in this small courtyard.
There was nothing on the beams where the bacon used to hang, and the tables and chairs in the house were scrubbed extremely clean without any dust.
Wang Po did not enter the house.
Standing outside the fence, he calmly said to his old friend who had lived in this house for thirty-seven years: "Today I'm going to go to Shinto."
Back then when Xun Mei failed in breaking into the divine way and was about to bid farewell to this world, he once said that if he could cultivate to the Confucian Saint Realm in the future, he would climb the mausoleum on behalf of Xun Mei.
It turned out that this was what he was going to do today.
…
…
The imperial examination had officially started, but Chen Changsheng still didn't show up.
If there is no butcher, people will still eat pigs, and if the pope does not appear, life will still go on, and exams will still be conducted.
This year's Great Court Examination did not deliberately introduce any new ideas, and still followed the method of previous years, with the literary examination, military examination, and battle in order.
According to the old rules, the literary examination held in the Xuanwen Palace was supervised by the Jiaoshu Office and the Imperial Rites Department, but the final decision was in the hands of Gou Hanshi.
Gou Hanshi is still very young, but no one will question his qualifications, because he has read the Daoist Canon thoroughly, and because he was originally the one who wrote the essay test this year.
Under the light of the morning light, the essay test ended smoothly, without any changes.
The people who watched the excitement outside the palace and the management of the gambling house felt a little bored and felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
The martial arts test that followed was still at Zhushilin Pass and Qujiang Pass. I don’t know if it was influenced by Chen Changsheng riding a crane across the river. This year’s rules are more complicated and detailed, basically eliminating any opportunities for opportunism. It is not forbidden to block the opponent, so Lin Haili can see the sword light shining from time to time, which is more dangerous than before.
The Great Court Examination has not been held for three years, and the number of candidates who came to participate this year is extremely large. Although the competition is relatively fierce, there are still more than 200 candidates who have successfully reached the other side of the Qujiang River. The achievements of the Academy of Reaching the Stars are the most eye-catching.
Under the premise that the Seven Laws of the Lishan God Kingdom no longer participated, the young scholars in Huaiyuan were originally popular candidates for this year's imperial examination. In addition, as everyone knows, their dean Wang Po is in the capital. Those young scholars It is even more courageous, and the results are naturally outstanding. The outstanding performance of the officers and students of the Star Reaching Academy is due to the recent pressure on the capital, which has accumulated a lot of anger for the future of the Great Zhou military, and all of this anger has become motivation today.
The final battle was still held in the dust-cleaning building of Aoba World.
The examinees entered Qingxian Hall one by one, walked along the patterns on the ground, and then noticed a girl in black with an indifferent expression.
The girl in black looked indifferent, holding a pot of green leaves in her arms.
Looking at her, the examinees all remembered the important matters carefully instructed by the teachers before leaving, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly looked away.
It wasn't until they entered the Green Leaf World and came outside the Xichen Building that the examinees breathed a sigh of relief, with expressions of awe and surprise on their faces, and they began to discuss one after another.
Even those young and mature scholars from Huaiyuan and the young military officers with strict discipline from Zhaixing Academy couldn't help whispering a few words to their classmates.
"That girl in black is the legendary Mysterious Frost Dragon?"
"Your Excellency the Pope is really amazing. You must know that there has been no Dragon Attendant in Li Palace for thousands of years."
"No wonder Mr. Qiushan can't compete with His Majesty the Pope..."
"Shut up, the little guy from Lishan listened carefully."
…
…
Not to mention that the candidates' discussions in the Green Leaf World are becoming more and more biased, only that the atmosphere outside the Li Palace has become more and more strange.
Whether it's the people watching the excitement or the vendors or the guys in the gambling house, they are all too quiet.
There is no excitement, so what are these people watching? What's the point of this bet if no one bets
Everyone is watching the big court exam, but they don't really care about the big court test, they are thinking about other things.
Because no one thought that this year's imperial examination would be so peaceful and smooth.
Something big will definitely happen today, but I just don't know when it will happen.
Suddenly there was a warning signal.
More than a dozen straight and extremely thin lines appeared in the blue sky. Only those with excellent eyesight could clearly see that the afterimages that make up the lines are red.
More than a dozen red geese flew in the sky at high speed, except for landing on the imperial palace and the departure palace, the rest headed in all directions.
If you are familiar with the distribution of the Great Zhou's army, you can see that the places where the red geese go are all where the imperial troops are stationed.
The king of Ling Hai has been dealing with the court all year round, so he can naturally see it, but he doesn't care where these red geese fly to, he cares more about where these red geese fly from.
The traces left by the red geese in the sky have disappeared, but they still remain in his sea of consciousness.
His gaze followed those traces, and finally landed on the south of Kyoto, with an extremely dignified expression.
There is Tianshu Mausoleum.
Hu Thirty-two said in a low voice: "The chief of Cijian Temple just left the Xuanwen Hall, and the four elders of the Sword Hall from Mount Li didn't come today at all."
"The old lady of Mu Zhe's family has left the city."
Taoist Si Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "If everyone went to Tianshu Mausoleum, how lively it would be."
He didn't hide his ambition and fighting spirit, because from anyone's point of view, this was an opportunity that Li Gong had to seize.
The King of Ling Hai looked back at the quiet side hall deep in the Li Palace, feeling slightly bewildered.
Are you still practicing swords
