Doom Roar

Before the start of the re-examination, the chief examiner will generally give a speech to all the subjects. The general content is that this re-examination carries the hope of the country, the sustenance of the nation, the expectations of the people, the appreciation of the emperor, etc., so as to express the importance of this re-examination , Establish the sense of honor and self-confidence of candidates.

Originally, the opening of this paragraph should be reserved for Li Erli, who has the highest official rank, but at this moment Li Erli's whole mind is taken away by the sudden appearance of the "civil and military young hero", so he still has the interest to speak?With a casual wave of his hand, he assigned the virtual ceremony to Zhang Meng, the military officer beside him, and he directly asked Liu Yuan about Xu Mo's initial test.

"My lord, the initial evaluation of Xu Hanwen's martial arts test is excellent, but the score of the literary test is relatively low, and the evaluation is only fair." Although Liu Yuan is not a high-ranking official, he has a good memory. Get it in his head.

"The essay test is only acceptable?"

Li Erli couldn't help frowning. Being a literati, he hoped that Xu Mo's score in the literary test would be higher. After all, the Song Dynasty has always used literature to control martial arts, and he is a martial artist who practices martial arts. [

The former is an elite among literati, while the latter is an alternative among warriors.

What's more, leading troops to march is about sitting in the rear, dispatching troops and dispatching generals, and decisively winning thousands of miles away. Personal force is only a means to check and balance subordinates and ensure one's own safety.

There are three grades of excellent, but it is only the lowest grade, which is similar to barely passing. That is to say, this Xu Mo only has a good skin like a literati and a scholar, but he is still a reckless warrior in his bones.

Li Erli couldn't help but secretly said that it's a pity, if the scholars can produce a handsome talent with both civil and military skills, the civil officials in the entire court can also regain some of their lost face in front of the military officers who have recently cheered up.

The rules and items for the re-examination were announced, and the competition for the first item of the re-examination officially began.

The rules of wrestling are very simple. There are four bronze tripods placed in the Martial arts arena at the moment, which are four hundred catties, six hundred catties, eight hundred catties and one thousand catties. You only need to lift any one of them to pass the retest.

The heavier the bronze tripod lifted, the higher the grade, four hundred catties is acceptable, six hundred catties is good, and eight hundred catties is excellent.

As for the huge cauldron, lifting it up is just a decoration, and it’s just a scene. There may not be anyone who can lift the [-]-jin cauldron. Only Xiang Yu, the legendary king of Chu, can do such a thing. .

"Each candidate has three chances. The highest score shall prevail. The bronze tripod is very heavy. Please do what you can to avoid unnecessary damage..."

With the sound of a clear gong, the wrestling competition for the first item of the re-examination officially began.

Li Erli also has the unique arrogance of literati in this era. He looks down on these warriors who only know how to wield knives and sticks. In the end, these vulgar warriors are needed to go to the battlefield to contribute to the country, but they can't be neglected.

"Under Wang Sledgehammer, people from Pingjiang Mansion..."

A young man with a thin figure and staring at a pair of dead fish eyes stood up from the ranks of warriors and bowed his hands to the three examiners in the stands.

"Alright, strong man Wang, please choose the tripod."

Zhang Meng took a careful look at Li Erli's face next to him, seeing that he didn't seem to be paying much attention to this test, so he boldly took over the hosting right.

"Wang Dachui, from Pingjiang Mansion, 31 years old, blacksmith, one wife and two sons..."

At the same time that the No.1 candidate was leaving the stage, a detailed profile of the candidate was also placed in front of Li Erli.

Li Erli only glanced casually, then put down the information, and turned his gaze to the field again.

At this time, Wang Sledgehammer had already completed his first attempt to lift the [-]-jin bronze tripod. After recovering a bit, he was circling around the [-]-jin tripod. Obviously, he still had strength left. [

drink ~!

After a few breaths, the Wang Dahammer suddenly yelled violently, grabbed the handle and legs of the copper tripod and exerted force suddenly, his arms and neck suddenly became thicker, the surface was knotted with veins, and the exposed skin was red. The power of the eruption can be felt every tens of meters.

It's a pity that six hundred catties is still beyond his limit. Wang Sledgehammer was exhausted after lifting the tripod a foot off the ground, so he had to throw it down. The heavy body of the tripod smashed a hole the size of a bowl on the ground. , and was immediately repaired and filled with earth and rocks by the small officials of the Recruitment Hall.

Li Erli picked up the brush and neatly wrote the word "ke" on the back of Wang Dahammer's wrestling re-examination results, and wrote "上" in small characters on the back, indicating that the results were second only to "good", and then put the report card aside , and the next one was drawn.

The test takers ended up one by one, and Li Erli's serious face gradually eased.

The wrestling event is the most intuitive event in the martial arts test that reflects the subject's strength. After all, as a martial artist, if you don't even have strength, no matter how high your level is in other aspects, it is just a castle in the air, which will collapse at the touch of a touch.

Although the vast majority of these test takers present are a bit unsightly in appearance, their strength is not mixed with water. Except for a few people, most of them can easily lift four hundred catties of copper tripods, and can lift six hundred catties. There were also five people on the tripod, and there was a man named Qi Wei, who was as strong as a black iron tower, and was able to hold the [-]-jin bronze tripod off the ground, which is definitely a natural supernatural power.

Based on this report card alone, Li Erli felt that he could explain something to the officials. Even if he couldn't select a few generals, it was more than enough to select a few vanguard officials who would charge into battle.

It seems that the Great Song Dynasty was still full of talents.

Officials are best at observing words and expressions. Seeing Li Erli's brows stretched, Liu Yuan and Zhang Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the previous initial test was too simple. They just tried to lift the big stone lock standing in front of the recruiting hall. The total weight was less than three hundred catties. The two of them were really afraid that some unreliable parallel imports would be mixed into the candidates.

"My lord, among these warriors, Qi Wei and Xu Mo are the most outstanding." Military officer Zhang Meng hastily explained to Li Erli while the iron was hot:

"That Qi Wei was born as an Orion, he is not only born with supernatural power, but also has outstanding arrow skills, it is easy to shoot through Yang with a hundred steps;

And that Xu Mo is a bit strange, judging from the current investigation data provided by Qiantang County, this person has no record of martial arts, but has only carried bags at the Water Transport Wharf for several years, and once had the title of a master of power.

Afterwards, he was a hunter for a period of time, and he captured black bears, wild boars and other ferocious beasts alone many times, and even an adult tiger.

In recent years, he has run a pharmacy called Baoantang, and has been dispensing medicines at a low price for a long time. He has a high reputation among the people and is known as a good person. My Stunning Wife's latest chapter. "

Li Erli nodded noncommittally, he had met both Qi Wei and Xu Mo, even if the others were useless, these two alone could make him work in the government.

"My name is Xu Mo, written in Chinese, from Qiantang County, Suzhou..."

While he was talking, it was already Xu Mo's turn to raise his tripod and cup his fists to salute the three examiners in the stands.

"Okay, Xu Hanwen, go and lift it!"

Xu Mo's image was definitely outstanding among all the candidates. Li Erli found it quite pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it, and his tone of speech was unavoidably kind.

"As you order, my lord." [

Xu Mo clasped his fists again and walked towards the center of the field, circled around the four bronze tripods, and lightened each tripod, pretending to test its weight.

In fact, with Xu Mo's arm strength, he could lift the largest [-]-jin bronze tripod with one hand, but he didn't want to be too special, so he only chose the [-]-jin tripod.

Just as Xu Mo put his hands on the tripod, he suddenly heard a noise from the direction of the gate of the recruiting hall. A knight in armor broke through the door, dragging billows of smoke and dust on his horse and leaping over the head of the little official who stepped forward to stop him. , and landed steadily in the martial arts arena.

"Bold! Who dares to break into the recruiting hall?" Li Erli protested.

The silver-armored knight did not continue to gallop his horse recklessly. He tightened his reins and got off his horse. He cupped his fists and saluted Li Erli and others in the stands, "My lords, atone for your sins. The last general, Han Jiwei, came to the Recruitment Hall by my father's order." Take the test."

Han Jiwei?

Li Erli was somewhat familiar with the name of the young general below, until Zhang Meng whispered a few words in his ear before suddenly realizing it.

This Han Jiwei is the eldest son of Han Xuan, the only surviving famous general in the dynasty. He is currently the seventh-rank official worshiper, and he is on duty in the Lin'an Forbidden Army. He is 25 years old.

Although military generals are inferior to civilian officials in terms of status, after all, Han Xuan is a famous general who has gone through two dynasties, and he has made great achievements in supporting him. He is highly valued by the officials of the current dynasty. With a smile on his face, he said, "Oh, it turned out to be Little General Han... I don't know why the little general came to the recruitment hall to take the exam?"

This time the country is recruiting talents, in addition to private talents, the descendants of the nobles and dignitaries of the dynasty also have the opportunity, and these second generations have the privilege of being exempted from the re-examination and directly advancing to the finals.

In other words, Han Jiwei just needs to be honest and wait at home to directly participate in the finals held in the palace. There is no need to go to this recruiting hall to compete with a group of civilians for the final qualifications.

Li Erli persuaded him tactfully and kindly, but Han Jiwei didn't seem to appreciate it, and he said resolutely, "Master Li's words are wrong. The merits of my Han family children have always been achieved by fighting on the battlefield with one sword and one gun." Yes, how can I tarnish the reputation of my Han family here? What's more, if you can't even pass the re-examination at the recruitment hall, wouldn't it be more embarrassing to go directly to the finals in front of the court officials?"

"It's… okay."

Li Erli figured it out, this Han Jiwei was just like his old man, he was a stubborn ass, and he had good privileges to use, and he was not afraid of being hated if he insisted on competing with these ordinary people for the final spot.

Fortunately, Han Jiwei just wanted to prove his own strength, and he didn't need him to cheat for personal gain, otherwise he would have the guts to just insert someone in so casually.
