I'm so hard

Chapter 174 The Brain Circuit of Displeased Shangguan
After Shangguan was displeased and Cai You was driven back to Jixian Academy by Zhao Yan's oral order, they had no choice but to continue working.

As the deputy examiners, the only office space for the two of them was the hall.

The two had no choice but to sit opposite each other angrily, and continued to read the files and books.

What they have to do now is to determine the topics for the four major subjects of this year's imperial examination. Originally, the topics were selected by the chief examiner.But this year's chief examiner is a representative of the people, and the heavy burden rests on the shoulders of the two.

And if they kept silent, the subject selection would naturally be impossible to confirm.

Soon, it was night.

After dinner, Shangguan Buyue and Cai You were relatively silent and continued to work, and it was late at night in a blink of an eye.

According to the regulations set a few days ago, the two of them will confirm the content of the scriptures today.

But the two of them didn't speak, and neither of them wanted to leave, they just kept grinding like this.

Cai You drank three pots of tea, but did not speak first; Shangguan was unhappy and even sat there for three hours without moving, his buttocks as if nailed to a chair.

Since ancient times, literati have always wanted to save face and suffer, and the two of them can be said to have interpreted this to the extreme.

At this moment, a man in black suddenly appeared outside the hall.

The imperial examination questions are related to the official career and destiny of nearly 2 people, so Jixian Academy has arranged hundreds of imperial guards to patrol.

But there are always some thieves who want to break into Jixian Academy to find out some news, or look up the books or files that the examiner is reading.

Based on these scattered information alone, you can sell tens of thousands of taels of silver on the black market.

This kind of high price makes many adventurers take risks.

Six years ago, three men in black broke into the Jixian Temple and hid there for nearly a night. At that time, because of a night cat, the three were discovered by the guards of the Imperial Army.

And now, those three men in black are still locked up in the prison!
Swish!Swish!Swish!
The man in black's lightness skills were extremely good, his feet hardly made any sound when they landed on the ground, and he also learned some invisibility techniques from the Imperial Army.

The soldiers patrolling outside the courtyard did not find him at all.

Through the crack of the door, the man in black confirmed that this place has the most books and there are still people working, and then hid on the beam of the hall.

Not long after, Cai You and Shangguan Buyue had already written what they thought was suitable for posting scriptures on rice paper.

Then, both of them dozed off.

Cai You lay prone on the table with her head resting on her hands, and soon fell asleep with a slight snoring sound.

But Shangguan was displeased, propped his head on one hand and slowly fell asleep.

All of this was clearly seen by the man in black hiding in the dark.

Swish!
The man in black landed lightly, and then took out a short dagger from his ankle.

Click!

The sound was like a copper coin falling to the ground, and the door was pried open in an instant.

The man in black quickly walked into the hall, and then stuck the door bolt again.

His footsteps were extremely light, and did not disturb the sleeping two at all.

Then, the man in black quickly came behind Shangguan Buyue, his eyes squinted like a shining silver needle.

He quickly memorized the books in front of Shangguan Buyue and the contents written on the rice paper in front of him.

Obviously, the man in black has received professional training.Not only has a very powerful stealth ability, but also can almost never forget.

After a while, the man in black wrote down all the content in front of Shangguan's displeasure.

A sly smile appeared on the face of the man in black, obviously very satisfied with his performance.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black came behind Cai You and began to check the books and written contents in front of Cai You.

After reading the book, the man in black couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because the piece of rice paper full of Confucian classics was pressed under Cai You's arm.

It was so tightly packed that no effective content could be seen at all.

The man in black thought for a moment, then scratched behind Cai You's earlobe.

The earlobe is the most sensitive, and it will react even during deep sleep.

Not long after, Cai You raised his head in a daze, and subconsciously touched the back of his head.

The moment his arm was raised, the man in black squeezed his hands lightly, and pulled out the rice paper with almost no sound.

If Zhao Yan saw this scene, even if he knew that he was a thief, he would still admire this person's skills from the bottom of his heart.

Being able to turn stealing into an art is as rare in Dazhou as it takes three years to come out with a champion.

The man in black was overjoyed and quickly observed the contents on the rice paper.

But at this moment, Shangguan was unhappy and woke up.

The moment he woke up, he saw the man in black opposite him.

Swish!
Shangguan subconsciously stood up in displeasure, and was about to call back the man in black.

Unexpectedly, the man in black reacted quickly, and instantly pulled out a dagger and placed it on Cai You's neck.

"If you dare to speak out, I will kill him immediately!" The man in black whispered, and then began to tighten Cai You's neck.

"Cough cough..."

Cai You coughed twice, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she found that her neck was cold, and there was a dagger there.

"Shut up, or I'll kill you immediately!" the man in black threatened.

Cai You had never seen such a situation before, and immediately dared not speak.

The Shangguan on the opposite side waved his hands in the air, pointed to the outside, and whispered: "If you kill him, you will definitely not be able to get out of here!"

"At worst, I will die with you!" the man in black said with a stare.

Shangguan was displeased and thought about it for a while, then suddenly asked: "Do you know who this person in front of you is?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment. He only knew that the people sitting in this kind of hall must be officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he really didn't know who they were or what their official positions were.

Shangguan's displeasure can be seen from the other party's eyes, the man in black doesn't know Cai You.

"I tell you, he is an old scribe of mine with an official rank of less than seven ranks. It is useless for you to arrest him. But I am the royal doctor of the imperial court with an official rank of second rank. If you tie me up now A chance to live, I let you go as your hostage, but you are not allowed to hurt anyone, how about it?"

The man in black looked at Cai You, and said doubtfully, "Why should I believe your words? Maybe he is a high official!"

"Is he a high official? Look at his wrinkled face and his old face. Where can I have official authority? I did this not to let you go, but to save myself. If tomorrow Jixian Academy If there is news of the thief, I will be severely punished."

Cai You heard Shangguan displeased that he looked old, but he didn't get angry, because at the moment he was a little anxious to urinate because of nervousness.

If he peed his pants today, it would be a complete embarrassment.

The man in black was dubious, but Shangguan was not happy but walked towards him slowly.

Shangguan was displeased and walked in front of the man in black, and said very calmly: "It's life or death, you only have one chance."

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then pushed Cai You away instantly, and then put the dagger on Shangguan's unhappy neck.

Cai You was in a daze, unable to figure out why Shangguan was displeased and sacrificed his life to save him.

As for Shangguan's displeasure, he straightened his chest, quite proud, and murmured in his heart: If I survive today, you, Cai You, owe me a life. How do you pay it back?
If Cai You knew Shangguan's unhappy thoughts at this moment, he would definitely vomit blood in anger. It was a life-threatening moment, and the other party's thinking would still overwhelm him.

The brain circuit of Shangguan's displeasure has always been different from that of ordinary people, which is the main reason why Zhao Yan appreciates him.
