Ding Rang was a well-known honest official and his house was very poor.

Duan Yu didn't care, looked at the slightly dilapidated house in front of him and went forward to call the door.

After a moment, a door came out with a surprised look on his face: "Who is your lord?"

"Dun Yu, Liyuan County, please see Mr. Ding!"

Duan Yu carried a gift box and stuffed another piece of silver over.

The door was closed and weighed it, and felt that it was only two or three taels. He suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't see it: "I can only tell you one thing. As for whether to see it, it's the master's business."

"Of course!" Duan Yuheshou looked at the door and opened for a while. After a while, the door opened: "The master has his life and meets guests in the study!"

"It's a labor!"

Duan Yu followed in, passed a small garden, passed the hall, and arrived at the study.

Ding Rang was wearing a regular dress and was reading a book. When he saw the gift box in his hand, he immediately said unhappy: "When I come to my place, why bother to take these!"

"It's just some ordinary pen, ink, paper and inkstone..." Duan Yu smiled: "I dare not be rude when I see you!"

"Since that's the case, this time it's…"

Ding Rang's solemn face showed a smile, and the housekeeper next to him received the gift and ordered the maid to serve tea.

The butler's maid looked at Duan Yu with a look of difference. They knew that the difficulty of their master was so difficult that he could accept a gift was not something that ordinary people could do.

Duan Yu sipped the tea gently, but she smiled but said nothing in her heart.

Although Ding Rang was honest, he knew that the other party admired Wang Xuzhen, the calligraphy master of the previous dynasty, so he had secretly sent a picture to his outside residence last night.

It is understandable that today's attitude is like this.

Ding Rang looked at Duan Yu and saw a handsome young man, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a graceful demeanor. He couldn't help but feel a little strange in his eyes and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Duan?"

"To find a background..." Duan Yu smiled bitterly and told the story of the pedestrian.

"So that's it. I know your brothers' thoughts to serve the court. Qin Feiyu was recommended by me at the time. Now that I have made meritorious contributions, I am honored... You are a great talent, and you are really wronged to do those private things." Ding Rang stroked his beard and thought a little.

Although the last time the Zhou family incident made him a little disliked, these two brothers seemed to be able to cultivate, especially since they had a relationship early on, so they might be able to train them.

In addition, regardless of civil and military bureaucrats, they have a natural hostility towards secret agencies like the pedestrian department. For him, the other party has less power to supervise his power, and he is even more like a thorn in his throat and will not vomit.

Therefore, it really hit it off.

Ding Rang immediately promised to contribute to Duan Yuwuju. After chatting for a while, his face suddenly turned strange again: "When it comes to Qin Feiyu, do you know that something big happened in the state army recently!"

"Oh? What happened?" Duan Yu was shocked. Ding Rang mentioned this matter specifically, which obviously had something to do with him.

"The prisoner in the first crime camp actually killed a general and fled..." Ding Rang said with no regrets.

"What? He can actually kill the generals. Not only that, he can run away?"

Duan Yu opened her mouth, a little surprised.

The military camp is strictly guarded, almost the same as the tiger's den. Killing people and escaping is like a joke.

Especially if you can escape after killing someone, it is a fantasy. I couldn't help but feel curious: "I don't know who it is?"

"The prisoner Gaogang... I heard that he was originally a team leader, but later he was punished for misunderstandings because of drinking and misunderstandings, and was punished to the criminal camp..." Ding Rang narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking at Duan Yu's reaction: "This happened... even Qin Feiyu had to be involved. Fortunately, Gaogang had just been transferred to his camp... Do you know this person?"

"I met once and heard that he was a master of martial arts. No wonder..." Duan Yu was very calm.

In fact, even if the martial arts master wants to kill a general in the state camp and escape successfully, the difficulty is simply terrifying.

"Hmph... I've checked it. This person is crazy and bold..." Ding Rang naturally had no good impression of the one who killed the official.

But Duan Yu was secretly surprised.

That Gaogang had a really rough face. Even if he joined the army, he would not be lucky. However, he could still earn a glimmer of life in this desperate situation, which made him look at him with admiration.

‘This person has a strange fate, maybe he will have a day to meet?’

For no reason, a premonition came to Duan Yu's heart.

...

The Qingguowu local examination is divided into outer field and inner field.

The outdoor field first tests riding and shooting, knife skills, and strength. Among them, riding and shooting requires candidates to rush across the shooting range and shoot nine arrows during the round trip. Five of the targets are considered qualified. There are three types of knifes, thirty, forty, and fifty kilograms, and at least one of them is required to dance, and the water is not exposed. The final strength is weightlifting, which is divided into three categories: three stones, four stones, and five stones. At least three stones must be raised over the shoulder, that is, three hundred kilograms must be considered qualified.

The inner field is a literary test, examining the post scriptures and strategy theory. The post scriptures are written in dictation. A few paragraphs are selected from the martial arts scriptures, and the end is cut off, and the candidates are asked to write the full text dictated; the strategy theory is about discussing their own views around a certain topic.

If the outer court is deposed, he is not qualified to take the inner court exam.

Such a harsh and difficult military exercise can break through the siege, naturally, those who are both civil and military. If you are in politics, you can directly be granted an official position and will be promoted quickly.

The higher-level martial arts Jinshi and even the top martial arts scholar are the real elite martial artists and generals in the entire Qing Kingdom.

Chen Ce, the current governor of Yezhou, was born as a Jinshi in Wu.

The sun is shining and the smoke and dust are rolling on the school ground.

"The martial scholars, martial arts students and other martial arts students in the whole province are qualified to take the martial arts exam, and there are only 30 admissions..."

Seeing so many warriors gathered together, Duan Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is still a war. Otherwise, the admission ratio may soar to one hundred, and it is really a crowd of troops squeezing a single-plank bridge.

On the contrary, in the literary examination, the fame and reputation of Juren has always been lukewarm in the ratio of 30 to 40, and the martial arts examination has been better than that. Even so, the top scholar in Wen is still a temporary successor who can alarm Wenqu.

‘The reason is that individuals in this world have power…and those with power must have power! If the ruling group does not absorb it, there will be only decay…’

There is no way to focus on martial arts and over literature in this world, and even Qingguo is still pretty good.

This is because there are scholars in academy who can also master some power. Otherwise, the status of scholars would be really like that of the Yuan Dynasty and would be thrown into the mud.

"In the 17th year of Qingli, the Yezhou Wu Township Examination began!"

After three rumbling salutes, the atmosphere in the school field suddenly became strong. Many candidates were assigned to different areas and started the field exam.

"First game, ride and shoot! Shi Lei comes on the field, and horse training is ready!"

A honest boy immediately got on the horse, clamped his legs, and the horse turned into a black wind and galloped across the shooting range.

He bent his bow and arrow, his arrows fell like rain, and before the fragrance burned out, he returned to his position, gasping slightly.

At the shooting range opposite, there are special people watching, under the banner.

"The nine arrows are five, the middle is flat!"

The examiner nodded: "Ma Xun comes on the field, Wang Shanzhong is ready!"

...

‘Most of the candidates who come here are good at martial arts, and can compete with one against ten… Of course, most of the candidates who take the exam are not enough…’

Duan Yu watched coldly and saw one candidate on the stage, only half of the qualified candidates were on the stage.

This is already amazing. On the grassland, those who can ride and shoot are all first-class warriors.

"Next, Duan Yu, Liyuan County!"

Suddenly, the examiner's voice rang out, Duan Yu stepped forward, looked at his horse, and frowned slightly.

Although this horse is a top-notch fighter, it was overworked and a little out of breath, but it was not as good as not being able to end up.

It can be said that it is a difficult problem within the allowable range.

A sneer appeared in my heart: "Pedalman?"

Now I check the bow and arrow more carefully. At this time, I found that the equipment was problematic and I could ask for replacement. If I went on the field, I would not be treated like this.

After checking correctly, he gently stroked the war horse's mane and turned over.

The horse roared and rushed out like an arrow.

After a round trip, a flag slogan came from the opposite side: "Nine arrows hit the red heart, go up!"

‘It’s just an ordinary target. If it were replaced by a mobile target for the Wu Jinshi exam, it might be a bit difficult…’

Looking at the awe-inspiring gazes around him, Duan Yu didn't feel much.

‘Speaking of this, most of the martial arts Jinshi in Qing State should have the strength of a master. This is the most basic martial arts examination. Other literary literacy and military level are top-notch, so they are the talents of the generals!’

I couldn't help but think that Xue Zhen, Qin Feiyu, and even Gao Gang were all serious students. Even though their martial arts skills met, they lost too much points, and they were helpless.

‘It’s just... I always feel that the treatment of martial artists is still too low!’

The top scholar of the Qing Kingdom was awarded the title of the seventh-rank military position and directly joined the army to lead troops. The top scholar of the Wen Dynasty was at most, but compared with the Qing Dynasty I remember, it was worse than that.

The top martial scholar in the Qing Dynasty was awarded the third-rank military position, the second-rank martial artist was awarded the third-rank guerrilla, and the third-rank rank Wu Tanhua was awarded the fourth-rank Dusi. Even the martial artist was awarded the fifth-rank to the fifth-rank.

Although the noble and noble people were inferior to the military at that time, the gap in treatment at this level was still very obvious.

‘It can be said that although the court attaches importance to extraordinary power, it still has some intentions of exploitation and oppression. This is very normal. How can we establish a unified and centralized kingdom or even an empire without this?’

‘The essence of dragon energy is majesty and killing!’

‘But…what if it is reduced by hundreds of times? Can the divine power and fortune produced by the laws of a mere county, or even a village, suppress the Qi refiners?’

A thought began to emerge irresistibly, but was suppressed rationally by Duan Yu.
