This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 311
The sky is bright.

The majority of candidates were escorted by the forbidden army to the test center.

"This year's autumn is too surprising."

"Yes, yes, this special poetry test is fine, and the test center is placed outside the city, which is really rare."

Many examinees talked a lot and didn't understand.

With a feeling of apprehension, I walked all the way to Xiaotao Town.

Those who arrived one step ahead of them were the group of examiners who presided over the poetry examination, in addition to the guards and the three thousand forbidden troops.

Among them, three academicians from the Hanlin Academy became the chief examiners of the poetry examination.

Most of the rest of the examiners are appointed by officials from various ministries or departments.

The blue sky in Xiaotao Town is as clear as washing, and the sky is cloudless.

Some of the peach blossoms in the town have withered.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, Xiaotao Town has returned to its former stable scene.

After the examinees arrived, they saw the fertile fields in the town, the joints of the new houses, and the quiet and elegant scenery of the hut.

"Examiners!"

"This is a special poetry test set up by the Son of Heaven. You can come to the town to have a look."

"If you have a good poetic talent, you can hand in the paper on the spot outside the town."

The chief examiner announces the examination rules to the majority of examinees.

Just like ordinary poetry fairs, candidates entering Xiaotao Town are equivalent to participating in poetry fairs.

Whatever you see and think, you can write poetry.

And if there is a good work, you can go to the calligraphy and ink test center outside the town, write the poem on the spot, and hand it over to the three chief examiners.

"It's a one-day period, and the scroll is closed at sunset."

Following the order of the chief examiner, the guards at the entrance of Xiaotao Town opened the town gate and let many candidates into the town.

Cao Su is the guard of this poetry test.

No wonder it has been kept secret all the time, it turned out that Xiaotao Town was going to be used as a poetry test site.

So the news has not been circulated very much, and maybe only the people at the deputy town governor level know.

"Even if someone knew about the exam questions like poetry in advance, if they didn't have talent, they couldn't write them."

"The more you can go to the scene to experience it for yourself, the better you will be able to write poems."

Cao Su and the three under his command occupied a high point in Xiaotao Town, overlooking the entire Xiaotao Town.

With the official start of the Qiu Wei exam, a large number of candidates have entered Xiaotao Town.

Although the peach blossoms in Xiaotao Town have withered a lot, you can still see many peach trees blooming in the rustling autumn wind. The pink and tender colors complement the blue sky, and the colors are very vivid.

"No wonder we are asked to investigate all the evil spirits in advance."

"These books are very precious, and they are the pillars of the future empire, so there can be no mistakes." Qiu Bai sneered at the side, expressing his dissatisfaction with the vulgar warrior.

If you do too much work, you will never be happy.

Especially working for literati.

Literati and warriors have always looked down on each other.

The Qianyuan Empire established the country with force and ruled the world with culture. Whether force is more important or rule of culture is more important, there has never been a definite conclusion.

To say that it is equally important is to lie.

Almost every emperor has his own focus when he comes to power.

Like today's emperor, when he was young, he focused more on force, including general Yang Ming, right general Qin Hu, etc., all of whom were military officers promoted when the emperor was young.

But when the emperor reached a certain age, he seemed to begin to pay attention to martial arts again.

This year, we paid special attention to the Qiuwei exam. Not only did we mobilize the imperial guards, but we also specially set up Enke, and ordered the arch guards to do a good job of patrolling and security in advance.

"Write poetry, I can't write."

At any rate, Qiu Bai can be regarded as a prodigal son of the gods who has been in romantic places for a long time, but he actually said that he couldn't write poetry.

Cao Su did not comment.

He Shan shook his head and said, "Poetry exam is just one of the exams. Special Enke like this may not be counted in the general exam in the future."

He Shan seems to have a little understanding of Qiu Wei.

"If it's just the guards, the three of you are fine. Why did you call me over?"

Holding the "Yiming Sword" in her arms, Zhou Wei leaned against a high pillar, closing her eyes and adjusting her breath, feeling the sword energy of the new sword.

The sword energy of Yiming Sword is purer and larger than Zhou Wei imagined.

This magic weapon is really unusual.

Cao Su is not good at using a sword, otherwise he would not have given the sword to Zhou Wei.

Of course, Cao Su also hoped that Zhou Wei would be stronger. The current Zhou Wei is his number one thug and a noble ascetic, which is very rare.

"It's because I'm worried about something happening. I've already reported the evil ghost in Xiaotao Town."

"Even there are evil ghosts, maybe there is something unclean in this place. In order to protect most of the scholars who have not yet developed a righteous spirit, it is reasonable to send us martial arts warriors to guard."

Cao Su saw that some candidates had already walked to the center of the town.

It was getting closer and closer to the place where they fought the evil spirits last time.

After the war, there are always some traces that have not been fully cleaned.

The candidate who walked the fastest saw that in the prosperous and stable Xiaotao Town, in some unnoticed corners, there were dust, filth, black marks of being burned, and traces of burns that had not been eliminated after the death. smell.

He was taken aback suddenly, and stopped in his tracks.

"The world is in chaos. How come there are 'ten miles of peach blossoms' and 'scenes of tranquility and prosperity'? They are all deceptive falsehoods, and the truth is not enough for the world to know."

When he looked up, he happened to see Baihu, the guard who had been watching him, on the top of the tall building.

Cao Su saw him, a slender young man who walked to the center of the town with a cage on his back, his eyes were clear enough to see through everything in the world.

"Fourth grade martial artist, so young?"

The scholar was taken aback, his eyes were special, and he could see through all falsehoods.

No matter whether it is a person or a scene, nothing can be hidden from his eyes.

He saw that Baihu was a young man who had not yet reached the age of 20, and he had actually cultivated to the fourth rank.

Although the scholar does not practice martial arts, he still has some understanding of martial arts. For a fourth-rank martial artist before the age of 20, this person may have become unparalleled in the world.

"interesting."

Cao Su smiled at him.

Among these scholars, there are still some powerful characters.

He became a little interested and began to observe seriously.

At this moment, a familiar sound transmission suddenly came from his ear.

Zhou Wei, who was leaning on the pillar beside her, frowned, opened her eyes, and looked at Cao Su suspiciously.

"Someone looking for you?"

Cao Su didn't deny it either: "An old friend is now on a job, so it's inconvenient to see her."

"What's the inconvenience? My lord, you can go. We will help you guard here to ensure that nothing will go wrong." Qiu Bai heard the conversation between the two and interjected.

Cao Su would definitely not do such a risky thing.

If something happens in the future, he will have to take the blame.

He directly rejected Qiu Bai's kindness: "No, don't be distracted anymore, and watch carefully, Qiu Wei today, don't make any mistakes."

Seeing Cao Su's serious expression, Qiu Bai and He Shan stopped laughing and joking, and quickly responded seriously.

When the two went to other places to guard, Cao Su stepped out from the tall building, leaped directly to the top of a private house, and stood on top as a guard and invigilator.

Stand on the roof.

A figure appeared under the roof.

"Okay, Xuanji, the guards and the imperial guards have completely surrounded Xiaotao Town, so you can get in here?"

Cao Su stood on the roof, his face was troubled, his lips moved slightly, and the sound transmission came in, sending a message to the people in the room below.

The person hiding in the back room is Ouyang Xuanji who I haven't seen for a long time.

"As warlocks, we still have some skills. Hundreds of thousands of troops entered as soon as they said they wanted to. Although the defense of Xiaotao Town is tight, it has not yet reached the point where it can completely imprison and restrict all sneaking in."

Hearing Cao Su's praise, Ouyang Xuanji was slightly pleased.

"What are you looking for me for?"

The Spring and Autumn Pavilion, like the Tianji Pavilion, is a very mysterious sect. In order to deal with Chen Zhen, Cao Su and Ouyang Xuanji cooperated, and the two had an agreement.

He wondered if that was the case.

Ouyang Xuanji said calmly: "After I returned to the pavilion, I made some preparations, but the time is not yet ripe to go to that place. I came to you this time because of other things."

Something else?

Cao Su was silent and did not answer Ouyang Xuanji.

Ouyang Xuanji continued: "Brother Cao, do you know that all the masters on the Fengchu list have gathered in Shendu recently?"

"Sima Changfeng, Zuo Qiuzi, Wei Tianming?"

Cao Su also only remembered the top three masters on the Fengchu list, like Sima Changfeng, who was rumored to be a first-rank master. Far.

"Sima and Zuo Qiuzi are originally from Shendu."

"Wei Tianming is a master of Yuzhou. This time he crossed the Shenguan Pass and entered the city of Shendu. He came here just to challenge Zuo Qiuzi."

Cao Su listened silently, there were no rumors in Jianghu, probably because he was busy killing monsters recently and paid less attention.

Or maybe it was because of the Great Autumn Exam that the news of the world was covered up by this matter.

He said flatly, "What does it have to do with me if he came to beat Zuo Qiuzi?"

"Next month will be the update month of the phoenix list. For a higher ranking, warriors will challenge upwards. When there was no phoenix list before, everyone's eyes were on the dragon and tiger list. Now the phoenix list is no different. The older generation’s list of dragons and tigers is poor.”

"Especially someone as amazing and talented as Sima Changfeng, even if he is on the dragon and tiger list, he is still among the top ten masters."

Ouyang Xuanji transmitted the sound from below, and relying on the strange ability of the alchemist, the words reached Cao Su's ears word by word.

She told Cao Su: "If you want to help me go to that place, you'd better be in the top ten of the Fengchu list, otherwise it will be difficult to get enough qualifications to protect the Dao."
