At dawn.

On the edge of the five-marsh forest, on top of a small mound.

Fat Xin pulled the reins and stopped the warhorse.

Fat believes in this person, the physique is tall, the back of the tiger is bear, the forehead is spit out, the beard hangs down to the chest, and the look gives people a sense of wolf eyes and fierceness.

The horse under him was not tall, a few heads shorter than the steppe horse, and was called a bantam. However, this kind of horse skin is tight, the flesh collapses, the whole body is full of strength, and the endurance is excellent.

"Ahead, is the first goal of this trip, Jiarong County. ”

Fat Xin's gaze passed through the branches of the dense forest and landed on the distant city wall, and his face was sinister.

"Most of the garrisons in the city have been dispatched, the guards are lax, my men have been in the city three days ago, as long as one charge, you can enter the city, and then the money and food in the city will be all my things!"

Behind him, a voice suddenly came—

"That's a nice thing to say, but how do you divide it when you get it?"

Hearing this, he turned his horse around and looked behind him.

Behind him, there stood five or six mountain horses, all of them imposing.

These people are the patriarchs of the most powerful tribes in the entire Five Marshes, and Deying and Glolan of the Nasa tribe are also among them.

Looking at a few people, Qiu Xin sneered: "I initiated this matter, and I should take the lion's share!"

As soon as he said this, the other people changed color, and one or two of them were about to step forward, but then they listened to the fat letter and continued: "However, you are willing to join forces, it is to give me the face of the fat letter, we have been fighting for many years, and there are some grudges, but now the opportunity is rare, and we have to share the same enemy, so I am willing to give up some of the things in this city, whoever grabs them will be theirs! will open the way for you!"

"Would you be so kind?" someone questioned directly.

Qiu Xin grinned and said: "I have different ambitions from you, in the words of the Central Plains people, it is the ambition of the bird's nest and the bird! However, there are some things to make clear to you, you can rob the money and grain in this city, even if you meet the ladies who can be seen, you can also dispose of them, but those craftsmen with craftsmanship can't touch any of them! It's all mine!"

As soon as his voice fell, someone laughed and said, "What are we going to rob, and we still need your consent? You can't help but take yourself too seriously!"

It's just that as soon as this person finished speaking, a strong wind sounded in the air, and a big "swastika" symbol appeared out of thin air, spinning and flying, and with a "swish" sound, it swept over the person's neck. The big head rolled down, and the big scar on the neck was full of blood, and the horse under the crotch screamed "Herod"!

Whoa!

Blood fell to the ground, and the dirt congealed.

Only then did the people around him come to their senses. Deying and the others' faces changed, and they took out their swords from their waists and looked at them with solemn expressions.

"Don't panic. Fat Xin's face was as usual. The light and shadow around him distorted, and more than a dozen figures appeared out of thin air, all of whom had their arms bare. His head was bare, with a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, his eyes closed, and his body was full of blood.

A calm and solemn aura suddenly enveloped the surroundings, and the patriarchs who drew their swords felt their bodies sinking, their limbs stiffened, and their faces changed drastically, and they issued warnings.

In the jungle not far away, there was immediately movement, and smoke, poisonous insects, and skeletons all flew straight over, which was the elder and witch elder who were responsible for protecting the patriarch's danger.

Suddenly!

A pillar of golden light fell from the sky, enveloping the jungle within a radius of thirty zhang, and where the light covered, there was no life and no death, and the elders of many tribes, together with the elders and sorcerers of their tribes, were in a trance, and vaguely saw a huge Buddha!

"There are two emptiness, universal sentient beings! Refuge! Refuge! Refuge!"

The roar was like thunder, resounding in everyone's minds! It made their hearts stir and they could hardly control themselves.

In the crowd, only a few people around him could maintain their minds.

"It seems that the swamp god is really gone, and he still hasn't responded to such violations. ”

Squinting his eyes, he shook his head, turned his head to look at the city in the distance, and then waved his hand: "Go! Send the order out! Enter immediately! There is such a big commotion, the city must have found out, without further ado, sons!"

His words were carried out by the heralds, and the next moment, a chaotic sound sounded in the forest under the mound, and a figure in rattan armor rushed out.

Excited, ferocious, shouting and killing like thunder, roaring away.

The crowd of people poured in front of the county gate like a wave, which was supposed to be closed, but only halfway through, there was no movement.

Then, a crowd of people passed through the door.

In the city, the aura of humanity rose, but it was immediately shattered by a golden light.

Soon, screams rang out from the city, and people were buzzing.

..................

"Fire and ice. ”

Qiu Yan experienced the pictures coming from the deity one by one, and sighed.

At this moment, he was carrying the roasted blue, standing in the crowd waiting for the exam, beside him were acquaintances such as Zhang Zhen, Zhou Guan, Luo Jiayun, etc., surrounded by figures, those who sent the exam, those who rushed to take the exam, talking to each other, and the same crowd.

"This is the luck of the Humane Dynasty, on the one hand, the military disaster, on the other hand, the literary meeting, the fire cooking oil, the splendid article, the luck is different, but I don't know if the golden light is really a Buddhist door, why the killing is born, there is no scruples. ”

"Brother Qiu, it's time for you to answer this scripture. ”

Qiu Yan was thinking about it, when a voice came from the side, but it was Na Luo Jiayun holding the book and pointing to the sentence on it.

The township test is different from the Taoist test, the candidates of the entire Jiannan Province have to gather in the Jiannan City Tribute Academy, and take the exam here, Luo Jiayun is from Guanrongzhou, but he is also a person from Jiannan Province, so he reunited with Qiu Yan.

However, Luo Jiayun was tireless in learning, even before the exam, he couldn't release the papers, so he and Qiu Yan tested each other's scriptures, and after Zhou Guan, Zhang Zhen and others arrived, Qiu Yan introduced them, and several people got acquainted with each other, and then began to review together.

After solving this scripture, a few people still need to be solved again, and there was a sudden silence next to them, and then I saw a group of Confucian scholars surrounding them, headed by that Fang Ziyan.

"Brother Qiu. Fang Ziyan came up and saluted first, "Today's township test is the time for my generation of scholars to show their strengths, this time, Fang Mou wants to compare with you." ”

"Than what?" Qiu Yan was a little puzzled, and then shook his head, "Just write out the heart Chinese chapter for the exam." What's the point of comparison?"

Qiu Yan's heart was still immersed in a faint humane understanding, how could he have kung fu and Fang Ziyan to say more.

Fang Ziyan was not annoyed, smiled slightly, and left.

However, the Confucian students who came with him stepped forward to greet Qiu Yan, these people had contact with Qiu Yan in Wuxin City, and this time they came here to catch up with the past.

It didn't take long for Gu Yanzhi to also walk through the crowd, this talented man on the same level as Fang Ziyan. Dressed plainly, followed by a scholar, he also came to talk to Qiu Yan for a long time.

It's just that after he said a few words, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Brother Qiu, there is one thing I want to remind you, Brother Fang has been in contact with Li Yushi and Pan Du these days, and he is determined to solve the Yuan." ”

After saying this. This excuse retreated.

Such a sentence without a beginning or an end fell on Qiu Yan's ears, but it made him realize in his heart that he had shrouded Pan's Mansion with divine thoughts these days. I know a little about some things in the Pan Mansion, but I don't want to be distracted.

"I see, Fang Ziyan wants to take the path of the new party, because of my friendship with Ma Lao Xiangguo. Seeing me as an old party and wanting to vote for my name is just these intrigues. It's really annoying, but I don't need to mix it. ”

He was thinking about it, when there was a sudden surge of people in front of him, it turned out that it was the promotion officer who came, the identity of this promotion officer was extraordinary, but he was the observer of Jiannan Dao, which was equivalent to the governor of Qiu Yan's previous life, which showed his attention.

Behind this person, stood the academic officials of the Jiannan Prefecture.

The scholar pronounced the name, called the candidates from each prefecture, and after identifying them in turn, they could enter the gate of the Tribute Academy.

There are soldiers standing at the door, responsible for body searches, this is also a normal thing, there is nothing to say, but from time to time you can see someone being searched for cheat sheets and other things, and then crying endlessly, but after all, they will be forked out.

After Qiu Yan was inspected, he received the exam number and walked into the examination room.

As soon as he entered the examination room, the qi of Wen Si spread from all around, blocking the heavenly spirits.

Qiu Yan didn't care, and found the room according to the exam number.

The room of the Gongyuan is more spacious than that of the Fuxue, and as soon as Qiu Yan sits in, he is about to pack up the examination basket, but he sees two candles on the table.

"This township test is really thoughtful. ”

With a sigh of emotion, Qiu Yan called an inspection and lit the candle, at this time the sky had just been exposed, and the light was dim, so the candle needed to be lit.

After he put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in place, polished and polished the pen, the inspector came over again, and sent the exam papers.

Qiu Yan picked up the exam paper, looked at it a few times, and then picked up the pen and wrote his name and place of origin in the corresponding places, which were all to be sealed after the papers were collected, which is often referred to as a vague name.

After doing this, Qiu Yan put down the pen, took a deep breath, and began to recall the memory of the article in the soul, although there is a divine thought, the memory is better than before, after condensing the soul, the poetry and articles flow more often in the heart, but you can't get carried away because of this, you still have to correct your attitude and be down-to-earth.

At this time, the examiner, deputy examiner, and many fellow examiners will go to all parts of the examination room to inspect and solemnly explain the examination matters as a warning.

The one who came to Qiu Yan's side to inspect was Na Kong Tixue, he was a Jiannan Dao student, and he went to various prefectures to serve as the chief examiner during the Dao exam, and now when he went to the countryside exam, he became the deputy chief examiner.

When this Kong Tixue passed by Qiu Yan's side, he nodded, smiled slightly, and greeted him, but did not stop, in order to avoid suspicion.

After a while, the inspection came again, this time with exam papers.

The exam questions were decided temporarily one or two hours before the start of the exam, and then copied and distributed, so the inspection was just received.

Got the exam question sheet and opened it, Qiu Yan roughly browsed it.

Compared with the Taoist test, the township test is more formal, in addition to the scriptures and ink meanings, there are also two essays and questions, and the essays should be written in the genre of articles, tables, theories, and praises, which is equivalent to Qiu Yan's applied writing in his previous life, mainly depending on the candidate's literary style.

Then, there's the questioning.

Strategy, which is a countermeasure and strategy, is to ask and ask.

In short, it is to ask the candidates for countermeasures, which are generally related to current affairs.

When Qiu Yan saw the question of this question, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a realization flashed in his heart.

And I saw four words written on the paper—

Southwest military strategy. (To be continued......)
