Gao Wu: My martial arts training relies solely on hard work

Chapter 28
late noon.

Zhao Xuan walked into the examination room after eating and drinking.

His opponent in the third game was a handsome young man.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be younger than him. He wears a purple gold crown inlaid with jade, red silk arrow sleeves, and green satin court boots. He looks rich and noble, and he is a young master from an unknown family.

After the clerk started shouting, the young man hurriedly stretched out his hands to show no harm, and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, can you allow me to say a few words before the competition?"

Zhao Xuan wanted to refuse.

But in public, this seems not elegant enough.

He had no choice but to reply: "Junior brother, please speak."

The young man got straight to the point and said seriously: "I wonder if I can get 200 taels of silver in exchange for senior brother admitting defeat?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Zhao Xuan's head. He turned to look at the clerk, openly bribing and cheating. Is this okay?

The clerk was also confused. It was the first time for him to encounter such a thing. He subconsciously looked around and wanted to ask his colleagues.

On the stage, the county lieutenant slapped the chair and said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to cheat openly in the county exam. Come here, arrest this person, invalidate his results, and exile him to Lingnan."

The officers and soldiers were about to take orders when they saw the young county magistrate wave his hand: "Wait, keep watching."

The county lieutenant with an angry face changed his expression instantly: "Well, loyalty is the first priority when selecting talents for the imperial court, but it can be used as a test, and the county magistrate has thought carefully about it."

No one present laughed at him. Instead, he silently gave a thumbs up and responded to the situation.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was silent, the young man tried to raise the price: "Okay, I know it's not easy for senior brother to get to this point, how about 300 taels?"

Zhao Xuan waited for a long time, but no one came to take care of it.

No one cares, right?

He let out a breath and started running.

Then, with the young man's unbelievable and horrified expression, he kicked him away.

"I've tolerated you for a long time. It's great to be rich."

During the fourth game, snow began to fall from the sky.

Zhao Xuan's opponent was a young man with a simple and honest face, who kept looking at him and giggling.

The clerk just shouted "start".

The honest young man made a sweeping sweep, countless snowflakes flying, and while Zhao Xuan was blinded by the flying snow, he pounced on Zhao Xuan.

Okay, okay, play this game with me, right?

Zhao Xuan sneered, took three steps back, and let Feixue pass.

With a hook of his right foot, a handful of a mixture of snow and soil was thrown at the honest young man's face, and then he stepped forward.

The honest young man scattered the mixture with a punch, and suddenly saw Zhao Xuan coming. He held his breath and concentrated, crossing his arms to block him in front of him.

At the same time, the center of gravity moves forward and the right foot pushes back, intending to receive the punch forcefully.

With a "bang" sound, Zhao Xuan punched with [-]% of his strength, but was blocked by the honest young man.

The honest young man looked happy, thinking nothing more than this, and was preparing to fight back.

Zhao Xuan punched him down again, so he had no choice but to continue to pick it up.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The moment your momentum is gone, that's when I will fight back.

Who knew that Zhao Xuan was as powerful as a tiger, punching one after another, each punch heavier than the last.

With the third punch, Zhao Xuan smashed his defensive arm.

The fourth punch hit his chest and knocked him off the ring.

Game four, win.

Zhao Xuan vaguely noticed that the honest-looking young man had entered the state of Yijin.

In the first two realms of physical training, the skin-grinding realm essentially trains strength and defense, while the Yijin realm trains flexibility and reaction speed.

Therefore, with the power of nine oxen and the body of copper skin, coupled with the enhanced perception that comes with basic archery, he is invincible in these two realms.

In the next two games, Zhao Xuan solved the battle simply and neatly as always.

With six wins from six games, he was undoubtedly ranked first and sat in the audience waiting for the county test to end.

At this time, Luo Jin came over with a confused look on his face, but hesitated to speak.

Zhao Xuan took the initiative and asked: "Senior Brother Luo is looking for me, is there something wrong?"

Luo Jin hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said: "Junior brother Zhao, you are in charge. Hu Mingkui knows that there is nothing he can do about you, and he wants to laugh away the grudges with you."

"Tonight he is preparing a banquet at the Hu Family Garden and invites you to come to the banquet." Zhao Xuan thought for a moment: "Senior brother, do you want me to go?"

Luo Jin nodded repeatedly: "The Hu family is powerful, and Hu Mingkui is expected to be a high school scholar this year. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. It is best to go."

Zhao Xuan smiled lightly.

He never concealed the fact that he was from a low mountain village.

Presumably, at the moment of the success yesterday, all the big and small forces in Gucheng County were able to find out.

There's no reason why the Hu family can't find out.

The low mountain village was attacked by a group of robbers of unknown origin last winter. Except for a few people, all died violently, which is not a secret.

Outsiders may not know it, but people in Low Mountain Village must know that the Hu family once arrested the entire village for the death of the fourth young master.

If one day someone becomes successful in Low Mountain Village, will he want to investigate the truth behind the massacre of the village?
Could these two things be connected?

Would it be someone with foresight from the Hu family who wanted to nip the danger in the bud?
Especially Luo Jinlai's invitation made Zhao Xuan suspect that it was the Hongmen Banquet organized by Hu Mingkui.

Don't talk about Tong Sheng being the leader, in the Jin Dynasty the law kills those who kill.

When people die, everything rests.

Regardless of whether he is a young talent or a leader in the county examination, they are all just dust.

Even if the county magistrate wiped out the Hu family afterwards, he still wouldn't survive.

So Zhao Xuan refused.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was not willing to take risks.

"Please tell Brother Luo and Brother Hu that Yu Baotou invites me to drink tonight. I really can't get away."

"As for letting go of grudges with a smile, I can only say that Senior Brother Hu is worrying too much. I have no grudges with the Hu family."

A flash of anger flashed in Luo Jin's eyes, and he turned to beg: "Junior brother, just think of it for me, how about going there?"

For you?
Zhao Xuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

What gave Luo Jin the illusion that he could risk his life for him?

Not to mention that the two of them have broken off their friendship, it would be fine if they didn't break up.

Zhao Xuan thought for a moment: "How about this, senior brother and I go to the arrester's house first, and if he agrees, how about we go to the Hu house?"

Yu Yang didn't invite him to drink at night at all.

When he and Luo Jin went to talk, with Yu Yang's wit, he must know what to say.

Luo Jin quickly responded: "Okay."

The moment he turned to leave, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of pleasure.

……

The seventh hour of the unitary hour.

The county examination, which determines the top [-] candidates, is officially over.

According to the rules, the ranking list will be released tomorrow and the ranking list of children will be publicly announced.

Luo Jin was afraid that Zhao Xuan would run away, so he came early to guard him.

Zhao Xuan looked as usual and invited him to go to the catcher's house.

Before he had taken two steps, Yu Yang took the initiative to appear in front of him. Without saying a word, he pulled him away and said, "Come with me quickly. I invite you."

Luo Jin became anxious and shouted: "Wait a minute."

Yu Yang stopped and glanced at him.

Luo Jin hurriedly approached: "Yu Baotou, I'm Luo Jin, we had a drink together..."

His response was a roar: "Get out."

Luo Jin was stunned on the spot, watching helplessly as Yu Yang pulled Zhao Xuan away.

When he heard the chuckles coming from around him, his eyes filled with blood.

After walking for a while, Yu Yang suddenly realized: "That was Brother Zhao's friend just now?"

Zhao Xuan smiled: "Not really."

His friendship is not so cheap.

　There are some changes in the previous chapter, please forgive me.
