Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Chapter 146: Planning ([-] words, please vote for me)
Shanyang Mansion Government Office, the deepest part.

In a study room that is solemnly decorated and reveals luxury everywhere.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a simple purple-striped fairy dress was reading a simple bamboo book in his hand.

"Sir, the blood dragon has repeatedly committed crimes in our Shanyang Mansion recently, and has kidnapped more than ten thousand boys and girls. If this continues, Shanyang will not be stable."

At this time, the door opened, and an old man wrapped in bright light armor walked in from the outside, exuding a billowing evil aura. He saluted respectfully to the middle-aged man who was reading a book, and then spoke.

This old man has a resolute face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. It can be seen that he must have been an extraordinary handsome man in his youth.

This person is none other than the commander of the Shanyang Prefecture Guards, General Zhu Weilie, a fifth-rank official.

In the entire Shanyang Mansion, there are only a few people with higher official positions than him, but the only one who can be treated with such respect by a martial artist with great sense of energy is the master of Shanyang Mansion.

In the Wei Dynasty, there were two capitals and 13 provinces. The one in charge was Zhu Quan, the real frontier official, the third rank, the head of Shanyang Prefecture.

"Didn't I say that you should call me Palace Master in front of others, and third uncle when no one is around?"

Zhu Quan's voice was calm, he looked at Zhu Weilie in front of him with a smile, and said with a smile.

However, from his words, it is not difficult to tell that this person looks obviously younger, and it is appropriate to say that he is Zhu Weilie's nephew.

However, it is obvious that Zhu Quan, the master of Shanyang Mansion, is the elder, and he is also Zhu Weilie's grandfather.

"You, you, are so old-fashioned. If you hadn't been like this, you wouldn't have been plotted back then, so that your foundation was damaged. Otherwise, you wouldn't have only a few good years to live out of the 200-year lifespan of a Qi-sensing martial arts master."

Zhu Quan shook his head slightly, put down the book in his hand, and looked at Zhu Weilie with a look of pity.

This Zhu Weilie has been the most outstanding descendant of his Zhu family in the past hundred years, and he was originally expected to succeed him as the head of Shanyang Palace.

It's a pity that he wasn't ruthless enough. He was plotted against in his early years, which damaged his foundation and his life span was short. It's a pity.

But, wait until Zhu Quan's words.

Zhu Weilie remained unmoved, as if he had not heard anything, and repeated what he had just said.

"You, you, you are still so confused. Don't you know that if the blood dragon is really touched, the lives of many people will be touched."

Zhu Quan chuckled, glanced at Zhu Weilie, then shook his head and continued: "That's fine, but the guards can't move. Let's just wait until the top [-] places are determined in the government test tomorrow, and then add more to the government test. Let’s try one, and the final test will be to destroy the blood dragon’s stronghold.”

"Most of these warriors are members of major families. If their elders do evil things, the younger ones will naturally be held responsible."

After saying that, Zhu Quan waved his hand.

When Zhu Weilie saw this, he saluted respectfully and said: "I obey, Palace Master!"

Then he slowly exited the room.

~~~~~~
This night is destined to be a sleepless night. Taking advantage of such a grand event as the Mansion Examination, it is natural to party all night long.

"Anu, where did you and your sister Wenlan go to play today?"

It was time to go to bed, but today was different from usual. Widow Yu found that her precious daughter could not sleep.

The candles had been extinguished for a long time, but a pair of jewel-like eyes were still blinking, looking like they were hiding something in their hearts.

Although Anu wanted to stay in front of her, there is no better way to know a daughter than a mother. But how could the 11-year-old Anu hide this from her mother?

It was obvious that Wen Lan took her daughter out today and did something, or something happened.

"Anu, I promised sister Lan not to tell my mother." Anu

He lowered his head with some guilt.

But the more Anu acted like this, the more Widow Yu felt that there must be something going on.

However, she could also feel that Anu must have encountered something happy.

After all, just by looking at the smile written on his face, you can feel something.

"So that's it. Since Anu has promised to someone else, mother won't ask any questions." Widow Yu smiled softly.

Then, he began to coax Anu and let her go to bed early.

~~~~~~~
at the same time.

Shanyang Mansion, Bai Family Courtyard.

Bai Xingqiu followed Bai Jin to Yujing City. During this period, Bai's father was busy with military affairs and was not at home often.

Therefore, the person in charge of the Bai family now is Bai Xingqiu's mother, Wei Ru.

"Tell me about it, I asked you to manage the tea shop just to help the young master look after the place. Why is the business getting worse and worse!"

Wei Ru picked up the tea cup and blew the water vapor gently. She lowered her eyebrows and didn't even look at Butler Wang who was not far away in front of her.

"Madam, I know it's unjust. This has nothing to do with me. It's all that Fang Yue."

Butler Wang, who decided to deal with Fang Yue during the day, went to Bai Xingqiu's mother at night, and Wei Ru, who was now in charge of the entire Bai family's business, complained.

"Understood, you go down."

Wei Ru took a sip of tea and carefully tasted the taste before saying something that was neither salty nor bland.

After hearing this, the latter quickly saluted, then resigned and left.

"Madam, the tea shop jointly opened by the young master and Fang Yue has indeed suffered a bit."

Butler Wang had just left, and the maid next to Wei Ru also helped him while he was refilling the water.

"Why do you even want to persuade me to control Fang Yue? I really don't see if it's because you accepted Butler Wang's benefits, so you speak for him everywhere."

Wei Ru put down the tea cup and looked at her personal maid with a stern expression.

"Madam, you are unjust. I will never dare to accept benefits from others." The personal maid immediately knelt down and lowered her head, not daring to look at Wei Ru at all.

"The tea shop is Xingqiu's private property. Even a mother like me cannot interfere in his affairs at will. Naturally, I can trust the friends he makes," Wei Ru said.

"Butler Wang has been in the Bai family for more than ten years. I didn't expect that he still doesn't understand this truth."

When the personal maid heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked. Does Madam mean that she doesn't care about the cooperation between the eldest young master and Fang Yue?Regardless of the tea shop?
It's just that she doesn't understand, if that's the case.

Why did Madam let Butler Wang act recklessly in the tea shop?

"Let's do this. In a few days, you go and invite that Fang Yue over, and I'll meet him in person."

Wei Ru naturally wouldn't explain to a servant, so after saying that, she went to rest.

As for why she obviously valued Fang Yue, but she allowed Butler Wang to act without stopping him.

Naturally, he wanted to see what Fang Yue would do when the time came, so as to see what the person his son valued so much was like.

Of course, no matter what the outcome is, she will not interfere.

~~~~~~
In a blink of an eye, it’s the next day,

At the Fucheng school grounds, the next day's martial arts assessment began.

This time, the tests were on riding and weapons.

After the exams for these two subjects are completed, tomorrow will be the martial arts exam. Once these exams are completed, the last teaching exam will be left.

"First……"

"Yi Shang..."

Although there are many people participating in the exam, time flies very quickly when it comes to the actual assessment.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Yue's achievements in riding skills and weapons came out.

The riding skills were as expected, and I got an armor.On the contrary, in the weapons department, I only got a top grade.

In this way, the current results will be better: two A's, one above A and one above B.

All told, among the more than 1000 warriors, they were actually at the forefront, almost 60 of them.

Seeing this, those who bet that Fang Yue would be eliminated were naturally delighted.

"It seems that this kid was deliberately arranged by the gambling house to set up a trap."

In the stands, those who were more likely to be eliminated if they bought it all felt that they could still make a small fortune this time.

"I don't know why this guy was ranked ninth by the gambling house. When the competition comes, I'm afraid there will be many people who want to challenge this unworthy 'ninth' powerhouse."

"Hehe, maybe he can't even survive the first round of the competition. Don't get beaten to death in the ring. Then the fun will be great."

The high rollers in the stands were all smiling and chatting.

Obviously, in their eyes, people like Fang Yue have become the condiments in this government examination, and they regard it as amusement.

And those who really care about winning or losing are obviously the real gamblers outside.

"I didn't expect that Fang Yue's strength is quite good. He is ranked in the top [-] with such talent. Even if he fails the test this time, he will always be able to pass the test next time."

In a corner of the school grounds, Liu Chuanzhi, who was always paying attention to Fang Yue, naturally knew Fang Yue's results in today's assessment immediately.

But this did make him even more jealous.

After all, Fang Yue was a real country bumpkin and mud-legged person in front of him before.

He made a mistake and it was Fang Yue who was beaten.

And he was so high up in the village that among his peers, no one would bow down, fawn, or please anyone who saw him.

But everything changed later. After Fang Yue started practicing martial arts, his status became higher and higher. In just a few years, he had already passed the martial arts examination and took the government examination.

And, what's even more annoying is that the results are actually pretty good.

How could this not make him want to go crazy with resentment and jealousy?

"Hehe, but it's okay. You dare to talk to Miss Wenlan. You should die."

Fortunately, this person does not know how to live or die, and is involved with Wen Lan.

He happened to see him, so he found his master Xue Bing and made him jealous.

As expected, Xue Bing would not let Fang Yue go. After learning that Fang Yue had participated in the government examination, he immediately found someone to find the manipulator behind the gambling stall.

Let him add the condition of Fang Yue's death in his handicap about Fang Yue.

If Fang Yue could be beaten to death on the spot, the loser would still be able to earn some more money.

Therefore, for the sake of money, I am afraid that someone will specifically deal with Fang Yue during the competition.

On the other side, in a corner of the school stadium stands.

Li Xiangjun stared at the familiar figure in the school grounds in stunned silence.

She really didn't expect to see Fang Yue here.

In this case, Lian'er really saw it right a few days ago and really saw Fang Yue.I really didn't expect that Fang Yue would come to Fucheng to take the imperial examination.

As a famous musician in the city, Li Xiangjun naturally has many fans.She came here today because she was invited by someone to keep her company, so she had to come.

"Who was Sister Xiangjun looking at just now? Did you see your lover?" Beside Li Xiangjun, a young man with a dash of delicacy in his heroic demeanor asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Xiangjun shook his head slightly: "Miss Qiqi, don't make fun of me, I just met an old friend."

It is obvious from Li Xiangjun's words.

The young man sitting next to her was actually a woman disguised as a man.Not only did she dress up as a man, but she also invited Li Xiangjun, a popular oiran in Shanyang Mansion, to accompany her.

"Haha, I don't believe this. Sister Xiangjun is dishonest. I will have to take care of you when I go back later."

The girl named Zhu Qiqi immediately grabbed Li Xiangjun's jade hand and gently scratched his palm.

Seeing the other person's increasingly rosy face, he couldn't help but step forward and kiss him.

Immediately, her eyes turned to Fang Yue in the school field.

There was a hint of curiosity and playfulness in his eyes.

~~~~~~
Fang Yue, who was standing in the school grounds, naturally didn't know that in the past two days, he had gained a lot of fame in Shanyang Mansion and among many families in Shanyang Mansion.

Although, it's not a good reputation.

Originally, today's assessment was over and he was ready to leave.

However, the government gave a temporary notice not to leave first after today's assessment.

Apparently there was something to announce.

"But Xiahe County Fang Wuju is in person!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Yue looked up and saw a muscular man coming to Fang Yue's side.

The opponent was tall, with a sturdy back and a very rough face.

He had a pair of bright eyes and was wearing a set of black leather armor.

Fang Yue was somewhat impressed, because this person's name was very interesting, and it was relatively deep in his memory of his previous life.

So, I remembered this person.After all, this man is called Xiong Da.

Of course, in addition to his name, the reason why we can pay attention to this person is also because this person is a relatively powerful martial arts practitioner in this government examination.

After two days of assessment, the results were in the mid-20s.

It is very promising to pass the government examination and get an official position.

However, although this person's name was special, he had never talked to this person, and he didn't know why this person came to him?
"Fang Wuju, have you heard? It seems that there will be an extra test this time. I think you are also alone. How about we come together?" Xiong Da whispered.

"Huh? Brother Xiong, what do you mean by this?" Fang Yue had never heard about the additional test in the government examination, so naturally he didn't know what Xiong Da meant.

Not enough. Judging from the other party's words, there should obviously be changes in this government examination.

"Brother Fang, don't you know? Oh, just think of it as a mistake on my part. I'll take my leave." Xiong Da was slightly startled. He originally thought that Fang Yue had such a reputation. He must have come from a big family and had information channels to know about this time. Some inside stories about trying.

In this way, it is better to join forces and strive to achieve good results in the additional test items.

But now it seems that the other party really knows nothing.

In this case, either Fang Yue is pretending, or Fang Yue's background is not high enough.

No matter what the reason was, he would naturally not join forces with Fang Yue.

They are not on the same level, so naturally there shouldn't be much overlap.

Immediately, Xiong Da left simply.

Fang Yue looked at the other person's leaving back, shook his head slightly, and didn't think about why this person had such a huge contrast between his front and back.

Because at this moment, the examiner who was presiding over the martial arts examination had appeared on the stand in the center of the school field.

"Today, I will take the government examination. The master of the palace ordered me to take an additional subject."

"The top [-] participants in the competition will be ranked according to the results of the additional subject. The specific situation will be announced after the competition. I hope everyone will know it."

It's a very simple sentence with no beginning or end. Apart from saying that a subject will be added, it doesn't say a word about what else will be added.

I don’t know if it’s to be kept secret or something.

However, none of the martial arts practitioners present raised any questions.

After all, this is the personal order of the palace master.

In Shanyang Mansion, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even the emperor's fate of the Wei Dynasty is sometimes not valued as much as the fate of the master of Shanyang Mansion.

"It seems like something big is really going on."

Not to mention Fang Yue, all the other martial arts practitioners present, whether they knew the news in advance or not, all looked ugly at this moment.

After all, under the current situation, if you add this subject, it will probably account for a very heavy proportion and will already outnumber the original ones.

With doubts in mind, many martial arts candidates also left the school grounds.

~~~~~~
Shanyang Mansion, Xue Family Courtyard.

"Master, why is this happening in this imperial examination? If this is the case, the arrangements for tomorrow may change."

Among those who did not participate in the martial arts examination, Liu Chuanzhi was definitely the most worried that this newly added subject would affect the final results.

If 100 people participate, then tomorrow's test will definitely not be that intense.

After all, there is still one subject, and you must maintain your strength. If you fight too hard tomorrow, you will obviously suffer in the last game.

"It doesn't matter, it's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, there are still worries about beating people to death in the ring, but in the last game, it won't be a big deal if someone dies."

Xue Bing smiled slightly. Although many calculations went wrong when dealing with Fang Yueshang, this time's mistakes were obviously more beneficial to him.

It seems that Fang Yue can definitely be killed this time.

As long as Fang Yue is killed, Wei He from Xiahe County can be arranged to take over all of Fang Yue's tea garden industry.

In this way, we can completely defeat that boy Bai Xingqiu's tea business.

"Okay, you go down, and we'll see what happens next."

"Yes, sir."

Although Liu Chuanzhi still didn't understand, Xue Bing, who was obviously informed, looked unwilling to say more.

Seeing this, Liu Chuanzhi could only salute respectfully, and then retreat with a lot of doubts in his mind.

~~~~~~~
Sure enough, because a subject was added to the government examination, the intensity of the subsequent martial arts and competition examinations was indeed reduced a lot.

Seeing this, Fang Yue was among them, and Wu Ce unexpectedly got a top grade in both subjects.

Even Fang Yue was confused when he saw the results. It would be a stroke of luck for him to get an A.

After all, he had not received professional training in the martial arts subject, and he did not even know enough about many things in the Wei Dynasty. He did not have a broad vision, and the memories of previous lives in his mind were of little use.

Therefore, even if you get a B, it is normal.

Fang Yue never expected that he would be able to get a top grade in this subject!
As for the other one, give it a try.

Fang Yue still chose to hide his strength and did not compete for the top ranking.

It's just that I almost got a score of around fifty.

As a result, including the previous subjects, Fang Yue's overall score now ranks in the 30s, almost reaching the top [-].

~~~~~~
Shanyang Prefecture Examination, the last subject is an additional test.

Details were not announced directly after the trial.

Instead, one hundred military officers were specifically invited to the military camp outside the city.

"Everyone, in this additional test of the government test, your goal is to destroy a cottage. The scores are calculated according to the cultivation level of the gangsters. Your ranking in this government test will be based on the results of suppressing the bandits."

As the assessment officials announced the results, the expressions of most of the martial arts examiners present changed. It was obvious that they had never imagined that this additional examination was actually to suppress bandits.

But then I thought about it, what kind of gangsters actually needed a hundred of their martial arts officers to dispatch.

You know, these one hundred martial arts masters are all martial masters from Yishui Pass, the fourth level of martial arts.

One hundred Yizui warriors are such a huge force, enough to fight against an army of tens of thousands.

In this way, it is naturally impossible for an ordinary bandit village to have so many bandits, so there must be a Qi-sensing martial artist who surpasses Yi Shui martial artist.

Otherwise, this assessment will be completely a competition between them.

The master of the palace specially tried it, and he would definitely not do this.

"Okay, here is some brief information. After you have memorized it, you can each choose weapons and armor. Remember, the assessment begins after you leave this military camp."

After saying that, the assessment official left.

Only a group of martial arts practitioners who had not yet recovered were left looking at each other.

However, this naturally does not include Fang Yue.

He didn't need armor, he just took a fifteen-stone strong bow, a hundred fine steel arrows, and a heavy simple sword.

Then, he snatched a horse from the barracks and drove away immediately.

"Damn, everyone hurry up and grab it!"

At this time, many martial arts talents in the military camp reacted.

Weapons and armor are naturally sufficient, but the specially provided horses are not many, only thirty.

In other words, those who did not grab the horse must be much slower than those who did.

Judging from the content of the assessment, there must be a lot of gangsters. If you kill more, then others will kill less.

Therefore, the sooner you get to the place, the more advantageous it will be.

After reacting, it was naturally a melee.

Except for those martial arts people who feel that there is no hope at all and will not compete, who will give in to the rest of the martial arts people.

Who would have thought that I haven't seen the bandits yet, and I haven't seen the target of the assessment yet.

Many martial arts practitioners had a fight first, and the intensity was far more intense than the previous competition.

Fortunately, such a scene happened in the military camp outside the city. If it had been in the school grounds in the city, countless people would be stunned.
