How did I become king

I saw the high wall of the Gongyuan stretching to the sky, and the guards were heavily guarded, only a small door was exposed for people to enter and exit.

"Lord Lu, please!"

Hu Zijie turned slightly to make way.

Lu Gan nodded, walked into the small door, and saw a courtyard with a sweet-scented osmanthus tree planted there.

On the right side of the small courtyard are small rooms divided into men and women.

"Lord Lu, this is the place where candidates are searched before the start of the county examination. The candidates are strictly checked for cheating tools such as cheat sheets. In addition, the five miles of the Gongyuan have been thoroughly checked and no one lives there. The flying masters have also entered to prevent the candidates Even outsiders cheat."

Hu Zijie explained while leading Lu Gan to move forward.

Walking through a corridor is the hut where the chief examiner temporarily rests, which is quite plainly furnished.

"My lord, this is your house."

Hu Zijie pointed to the largest cabin.

Lu Gan walked in and saw that the pens, ink, papers and inkstones, copper stove and cups had been arranged in the room, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.

As soon as you go out and turn around, you can see the test booths for candidates, which are very small and cramped.

"Master Hu, Enke Wenju is up to you. I am not the kind of person who pretends to understand. As long as there is no trouble, I will not interfere."

Lu Gan turned around and said calmly.

Hearing this, Hu Zijie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Master Lu has a heart like a valley, and I admire you."

"Oh? Why did Master Hu say that?" Lu Gan frowned.

"The lower official believes that learning has to come down to human affairs. If you don't understand world affairs and human affairs, reading thousands of books and writing beautiful articles is just a waste of time."

Hu Zijie stroked his short beard, and praised: "Judging from Mr. Lu's political experience, Qingyang County is booming, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their knowledge is profound, compared to those dumb scholars who only know how to study the scriptures and try to figure out the old sayings. Where to go!"

This flattery touched Lu Gan's heart, and he immediately laughed: "Master Hu really has vision!"

Afterwards, the two came to the examiner's room just now.

"Lord Lu, this is the list of Enke Wenju for the county examination, a total of 8000 people."

Hu Zijie asked someone to present a roster.

"There are so many?"

Lu Gan opened the roster and quickly checked it at a glance.

"My lord, there were originally 3 people on this roster. The Yuan family committed the crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. All candidates from the Yuan family have been deleted."

Hu Zijie slightly arched his hands.

"Ok!"

Lu Gan nodded, and put down the roster: "I'm going to the martial field of the school right now! The Gongyuan, please take care of Master Hu!"

"Don't dare! Don't dare to be contemptuous and slack in the affairs of the subordinates! Send off to Master Lu!"

With a serious face, Hu Zijie sent Lu Gan out of the entrance of the Gongyuan.

At this time, Lu Gan suddenly realized that something was missing in the tribute courtyard.

Wensheng Statue!

"In this world, martial arts is paramount. No matter how strong a group of civil servants are, they may not be able to match a martial sage."

Lu Gan shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, the carriage drove to the school martial arts field ten miles away.

The school martial arts field belongs to the Qianlong camp.

Shen Zishuang, Zhou [-], Zhou [-], and Zhou [-] were all trained by Qianlong Camp.

When Lu Gan arrived at the school martial arts field, he immediately saw Huo Que, the battalion commander of the Qianlong Battalion.

This is a cold beauty with long hair in a white shirt. She was born in the Xuanhuang Sect and is a master of the Flying Heaven Realm.

Seeing Lu Gan getting off the car, Huo Que just arched his hands coldly, as if he was a little unwilling to receive him.

Lu Gan didn't say anything, he bowed his hands slightly to return the salute, and followed this person into the huge school martial arts arena.

The school's martial field is covered with black and brown stone slabs, which are extremely hard and can bear 50 catties of divine power. They are mined from the Heiyun Mountains in Youzhou.

Passing through the school martial arts field, a group of people came to a side hall, which was decorated like a camp tent, with iron cases, command arrows, and mighty golden armored soldiers standing beside them.

Huo Que's slender figure flashed, sat behind the iron case, and waved his hand.

The guards on the left and right nodded slightly and exited the side hall with their hands folded.

"For this martial arts competition, 5000 students were strictly selected. Sixty percent of them came from wealthy families, dignitaries and ministers. Thirty percent came from Jianghu martial arts sects. The remaining ten percent were folk warriors."

Huo Que waved his hand and brushed over a long wooden box.

Lu Gan sat on the upper left, caught the wooden box, and took out a scroll from inside.

Slowly unfold it to see that there are densely packed names of people.

"What is His Majesty's will?"

Lu Gan asked while watching.

"Your Majesty's intention is to select as many talents as possible who are loyal to Daxuan."

Huo Que pulled out a silver dagger from nowhere and wiped it inch by inch.

Lu Gan continued to look at the roster of martial arts students, and nodded secretly.

Zhao Xuanji wanted to move the aristocratic family and the three major sects, this was something anyone with a discerning eye could see.

In this martial arts competition, in order to fight against Zhao Xuanji, the aristocratic family and sect naturally deployed a lot of people to gain fame and become officials in the court.

The people in the court, the soldiers in the army are all from the aristocratic sects, Zhao Xuanji can only pinch his nose and forcefully employ people.

"This year's county test is still the same as in previous years?"

After a cup of tea, Lu Gan put away the roster and raised his head to ask.

Martial arts in previous years were all based on the inspection of cultivation.

After passing the test, the martial arts students will have a bow and horse archery competition, and then there will be a display of their strongest martial arts skills, and finally there will be an article on the art of war, and a discussion on defense strategies.

The state examination and the palace examination have an extra link, the competition.

Lu Gan knew that his strategy of war was a bit sloppy, not as good as the elite disciples trained by those aristocratic families, but his force was strong enough, as long as he defeated everyone in the competition.

That is the champion of martial arts!

"Well, it's the same as in previous years." Huo Que lowered his head and concentrated on wiping the dagger, and replied coldly.

"Is it the same as last year?"

Lu Gan tapped on the armrest of the chair, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a while, he got up and cupped his hands: "I want to take a short rest."

"Come on!"

Huo Que snorted coldly.

Immediately, a big man in golden armor came in.

"Take this Lord Lu to the barracks." Huo Zun ordered coldly.

"Yes. Master Lu, please!"

The golden armored soldier cupped his hands and said respectfully.

Lu Gan nodded, and led Zuo Xi and others out of the side hall to the barracks behind the martial arts arena.

"Your battalion commander doesn't seem to want to see me? Why?"

On the way, Lu Gan asked casually.

"Uh... Battalion Commander Huo has an old friend who used to be a silver-medal policeman in the Zhenfu Division. But he was driven away by Mr. Lu." The gold-armored soldier didn't hide anything, and told him frankly.

It turned out to be the case.

A look of astonishment flashed across Lu Gan's eyes. He turned his head and found the golden armored soldier hesitant to speak, so he asked, "Does this general have something to ask?"

"Don't dare!" The golden-armored soldier bowed his hands and asked cautiously, "Is Master Lu really His Majesty's disciple?"

"Your Majesty won't let me speak."

Lu Gan smiled mysteriously and fooled it directly.

"The end will understand!"

The general Jin's expression froze, and he clasped his hands and replied, not knowing what he understood.

Soon, Lu Gan was taken to a clean barracks.

After a while, Zuo Xi left and secretly arranged for Lu Gan.

Lu Gan continued to practice.

night.

A cry of an eagle resounded in the sky, and the mighty eagle descended from the sky.

Hearing the sound, Lu Gan got up, walked straight out of the barracks, stroked the Great Condor a few times, and then untied a slender bamboo tube from its ankle.

When I opened it, it was Fang Youxue's delicate handwriting: I am training my younger brother Fang Yun at home.

Lu Gan looked at it with a smile, went back to the barracks, picked up the pen and paper, and wrote eight big characters like the wind.

Then, the paper is rolled up and stuffed into a bamboo tube.

"Let's go!"

Lu Gan patted Dali Condor.

chirp.

The Vigorous Condor blinked its golden eagle eyes, spread its wings, fanned a strong wind, and soared into the sky.

After a while, in the backyard of the Fang family's house, a great eagle landed beside Fang Youxue.

Fang Youxue pulled out the roll of paper from the bamboo tube, unfolded it and took a look.

In an instant, the iceberg melted, and the glamorous things, like the blooming snow lotus of thousands of years, presented a beautiful and moving scene.

I saw written on the scroll: I miss you too, little lady.

"Sister...you laughed!"

Fang Yun raised his trembling hand and stared blankly, as if he saw something incredible.

Subconsciously, he became curious and jumped over: "Sister, show me what is written on the paper."

boom.

Before he could get close, Fang Youxue's face turned cold, and she slapped him, sending him flying a hundred meters away.

Chapter 246 Suppressing the audience

Three days later, the martial arts examination began.

The sky is as dark as ink, and the spring rain is falling.

The air is filled with moisture and is very humid.

Fang Yun rushed to the outside of the school martial arts field early, waiting for the entrance examination to start.

However, he was covered with a cloth belt, only showing a pair of eyes, two nostrils, and a mouth, like a seriously injured patient with fractures all over his body, he was very eye-catching and conspicuous among the candidates.

At this time, almost all the candidates had arrived.

They were all holding paper umbrellas, scattered in front of the gate of the school's martial arts field, whispering one after another, making them seem a little noisy.

"Father, mother, you go back."

Fang Yunweng sighed.

"Okay! That mother will go back to water the flowers first, and now the spring rain is continuous, if the orchids are not optimistic, they will be easily damaged by the rain."

"Relax, it's just a county test. Dad is waiting for your title on the gold list."

Fang Yun's parents smiled, got into the carriage and left.
