Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 425 An old friend is here

In fact, Sun Shan is not the most eye-catching existence among this group of martial artists, and the martial arts of two of these candidates are really amazing.

Sun Shan chose three out of five in the first test and perfectly avoided archery, which he was not good at.

Relying on his own strength, he chose wrestling and spears.After five competitions, everyone saw that he was very brave, and that he was so fierce with a spear in one hand, so no one dared to challenge him again.

So he passed the first test smoothly, but when it came to the second test, he had a hard time.

Su Yizhao and a group of examiners waited in the examination room for more than half an hour, and finally the candidates who had passed the first test came.

"I heard that one of them is Guo Qing, who is very good at riding and shooting." Tan Junhao who was beside Su Yizhao said again.

Su Yizhao immediately understood that Guo Qing and Tan Junhao definitely had a very close relationship, so saying that was to save some face.

"There are a lot of candidates participating in the martial arts exam this time, and there are many outstanding people among them. Take a good look at it later, there are many surprises."

Su Yizhao didn't follow the other party's words, if she wanted to talk about Guo Qing, she definitely wasn't on her list.

But if she can get by, it's not that she can't sell face, after all, this officialdom pays attention to personal feelings.

"Huh? That Sun Shan is here." Someone reminded.

"The second round will take the riding and archery test, which is inevitable. I'm afraid he is not sure."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and Sun Shan first came to salute in front of several examiners.

Su Yizhao looked at him, in such a cold weather, he was wearing only a thin jacket, his chest was still open, his arms with sleeves rolled up were knotted with veins, and even his fists were as big as sand bowls.

"Sun Shan! Let's start!" The officer on the side urged, and then ordered someone to hand over the longbow to him.

Sun Shan felt a little sad when he took over the longbow. In fact, he had practiced hard for several years, but his grades have always been mediocre.

Sighing, Sun Shan stepped on the horse, drew his longbow as he marched, aimed and shot.

But after a while, a small flag was raised on the opposite side. It was orange and yellow, and it was the third ring.

Each ring has corresponding chess pieces of different colors. This is Su Yizhao's suggestion to Su Jinxun, which saves the trouble of running around.

Immediately recorded it aside, the third ring.

Sun Shan was overjoyed at first, and then a little dejected.

There are a total of three chances, and if the combined number of three rings is less than ten rings, then it is nothing.

The first arrow hit the third ring, and he performed supernormally, but the last two times were probably hanging.

"it is good!"

There was applause from the side, Su Yizhao immediately turned his head to look, and found that someone hit the nine rings with an arrow.

This is a young man in a purple dress. Su Yizhao glanced at the other person's face from a distance, and found that he hadn't asked about it before.

The young man drew the bow again and shot the arrow, and the second arrow hit the bull's-eye. He was simply a master archer.

"Who is this person?" Su Yizhao asked the clerk next to her. There were too many people, and she couldn't remember it all at once.

"My lord! This person's name is Zheng Dan. He took the archery test in the first round, and his grades are outstanding."

Su Yizhao nodded, steamed eggs?This name is really special.

Looking at the high-spirited appearance of the other party riding on the tall horse, I can't help being a little envious.

These all require talent. Su Yizhao has practiced for many years, and his best result so far is only eight rings.

The last arrow is still the bull's-eye, and it's over.

Looking at Sun Shan's side again, the second time the result was the fourth ring, he was so happy that he almost jumped off his horse.

The last round was still the third ring, so it was barely passed.

Sun Shan was very happy, he actually passed the riding and archery, which he did not expect.

Su Yizhao glanced at him, and found a young man in a royal blue dress walking towards him, and she nodded slightly towards him.

This son is Liu Chang's eldest son, he is 17 years old this year, he knows some kung fu, he is very dexterous, and he is also good at archery.

Not worried that Liu Teng would not be able to pass the second round, Su Yizhao stopped paying attention to him.

The martial arts exam took three days in total, and after the first exam was over, all the examinees went back to wait for news.

The list of those who passed the exam will be posted outside the yamen, and these candidates will be appointed by the emperor himself as the number one scholar in the imperial examination two days later.

After finishing the martial arts, Su Yizhao could think of Sheng Lanqing who had been forgotten by her.

It seems that we still have to find out what happened between Sheng Lanqing and Su Wenqing. It would definitely not work to ask Su Wenqing. He wouldn't tell, otherwise he would have said it long ago.

After thinking about it, Su Yizhao still planned to wait for the next Muxiu before going to the temple.

There was an expected sound from the window sill, after Su Yizhao fed the last bit of meat floss to Acacia, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

As soon as she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, she heard Xiangsi say, "Your old friend is looking for you again."

A sip of tea was sprayed on Acacia, and Su Yizhao was terrified, "Who did you learn this from? If you don't learn it, what did you learn?"

Acacia felt very disgusted, "Look at you, you don't like to be clean at all, just wipe it off for me."

"The woman who guards the yard three times in your house often tells her old sister that an old friend comes to her."

Su Yizhao was speechless for a moment, but she was surprised that this deep house could not accommodate this, and she was able to keep secrets, which is amazing.

It's just that this woman is a gatekeeper. If she has a good old friend, she is easy to make mistakes. It seems that she needs to find an opportunity to transfer that woman to another position.

When Zong Zeming came in, he found that Su Yizhao was really wiping Acacia's body with a handkerchief.

"This little thing doesn't like to be clean too? Doesn't it take a bath?"

Xiangsi suddenly became angry, "If it weren't for your old friend, how could she be so excited? I would become like this? I obviously take a bath every day."

It's a pity that Zong Zeming couldn't understand, he only saw Acacia's teeth and claws, and thought he said that the little thing doesn't like to be clean, and the little thing got angry.

Su Yizhao laughed, but she didn't explain, so she went straight to the point.

"Did you find the books related to the previous dynasty that I asked you to find?"

She has read all the relevant materials of Wenyuan Pavilion, and even bought unofficial history a few times, but it is a pity that she rarely has the opportunity to buy them.

"Why do you want these?" Zong Zeming took out three thin books from his pocket, "I just picked up these three for now, you should read them first!"

Su Yizhao quickly picked it up and opened the first book directly. When he saw the story of the former emperor's entanglement with those beauties, he immediately wanted to roll his eyes.

Putting these three books on the desk for the time being, Zong Zeming suddenly said, "There is going to be a war at the border!"

Su Yizhao nodded when he heard the words, "The feudal states have tried many times, and the new Khan succeeded to the throne. A big battle is inevitable."

"Father sent a letter, saying that the border war will start by next month at the latest."

"So fast?" Su Yizhao was very surprised.

"Hmm! Our secret talk is reported, and it is said that Chartu is already deploying."

Su Yizhao frowned lightly, if there was a war, it would be the common people who would suffer.
