Chapter 228 The Spring Exam Begins

Looking up, he saw dust flying in the distance, horseshoes bursting, and it turned out to be cavalry charging over.

Shi Yan shivered in fright, quickly hid behind Pei Shi, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, why would someone attack the temple?"

Ah Li's face changed, and he said eagerly: "I don't know! Go!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Han and Yan hurriedly escorted them away with their own maid and mother-in-law.

Han Tingting also hurried to protect her mother and sister-in-law.

Ah Li took Pei Shi and the others, and looked back while running away.

Soon, they were surrounded.

Surrounded by masked men in black, all holding sharp weapons, surrounded them.

The leader is a 25-year-old young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and he looks like a man with outstanding martial arts skills.

Mrs. Han's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, she already understood.

I originally thought it was bandits and robbers who robbed, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Sure enough, the young man sneered and ordered them: "Hand over everything! Otherwise, you won't be able to survive today."

Yan Shi trembled, and Pei Shi's legs and feet became weak from fright.

Only Han Tingting was bolder. She straightened her back and scolded angrily, "You... who sent you? I warn you, if you dare to hurt a single hair of my mother and sister-in-law, my father will not spare you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the young man burst out laughing.

He seemed to hear the funniest things.

Then, he swung his long sword violently and stabbed Han Tingting.

Han Tingting was taken aback and dodged to the side.

Unexpectedly, the young man had expected her to behave like this long ago, he thrust out his long sword obliquely, and cut a bloodstain on Han Tingting's left arm, which was immediately dripping with blood.

Han Tingting screamed and fell to the ground.

The crowd was horrified.

Ah Li quickly took out the hemostatic pills and gave her two pills.

Then he stood up and glared at the young man: "Who are you?"

"Hehe...Little girl, you are not qualified to know."

Ah Li sneered, "I want to see what you guys are capable of!"

After finishing speaking, she drew her sword and rushed towards the young man, and at the same time shouted to Mrs. Pei: "Second sister-in-law, take your mother and run away, I will stop him!"

Her speed was extremely fast, and she rushed to the young man in an instant.

The young man was caught off guard and was forced back a few steps by Ah Li.

Seeing this, the rest of the men in black raised their knives and slashed at Ah Li.

Ah Li didn't panic and dealt with them calmly.

Her moves are weird and tricky, fast and accurate.

Soon, she cornered the young man.

The young man's sword dance was impenetrable, but he couldn't resist Ah Li's sharp sword energy.

Finally, the young man was defeated, and the long sword in his hand was cut off.

Ah Li took the opportunity to hit his chest hard with the back of his sword.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood.

He clutched his chest and staggered back.

Seeing this, the rest of the men in black immediately stopped what they were doing.

They all looked at Ah Li in shock.

The young man wiped off the blood stains around his mouth, showing a vicious expression.

Ah Li held the blood-stained hilt in his hand, and pointed at him: "Do you want to fight again?"

The young man stared at her.

After a while, he suddenly roared, "Withdraw!"

Hearing the words, the remaining men in black turned around and fled.

Ah Li didn't chase after them, Pei and the others saw those people running away, so they turned around and came back.

They hurried back to the city.

After Han Yi learned that his wife and children had been hunted down, he immediately asked for a thorough investigation.

Although there were very few things found, he probably knew who was trying to target their family.

He can't act rashly now, so he can only say to his wife: "Don't go out casually recently, now is not the time to act rashly."

As a big wife, Mrs. Han naturally knew the depth of the water, so she could only swallow her breath first.

……

Soon came the day of spring.

Candidates have already formed a long queue outside the tribute courtyard, and everyone has a solemn expression, with longing and longing in their eyes.

Many of these candidates are rookies in this subject, and several of them are famous figures like No. [-] in the list, and they are also Jieyuan, Huiyuan, or the top three and first students in the imperial examination in their respective prefectures and counties!
If they could only look up at the mountains before, now they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars in the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of his relatives, Lin Tianyi lined up with the candidates and entered the Gongyuan.

"Uncle! How are you doing recently?"

Suddenly someone greeted Lin Tianyi.

He turned around and saw that it was Lin Dabao. Although the two were uncles and nephews and their relationship was not harmonious, they were still relatives after all.

"En." Lin Tianyi replied lightly, turned his face and continued to stare at the entrance of the Gongyuan.

The gate of the Gongyuan was full of servants, holding knives, guns and sticks, looking fierce.

Seeing this kind of battle, many candidates suddenly fell silent and dared not talk casually anymore.

Soon the exam was in full swing.

Candidates are seated according to the assigned number plate, waiting for the officials to announce the answer.

"Boom!"

The drums sounded and everyone fell silent.

The examiner came out and said in a loud voice: "Candidates, today is the first round of the spring test, please be sure to show your true strength."

"Next, this spring exam will be reviewed by the chief examiner Wang Gelao. At the same time, the list of palace exams will be announced. I wish everyone good luck!"

All the candidates showed envious expressions when they heard the words.

The chief examiner, Mr. Qin Ge, is the confidant of the current emperor!
Moreover, he is upright, jealous of evil, and always hates favoritism and cheating the most.

If he can get his favor, it will undoubtedly be a chance for the carp to leap over the dragon's gate!
Lin Tianyi sat in his seat, thinking about things silently.

The rule of the spring test is one test every three days.

In this way, the examiner can calmly set the order of the examination papers according to the level and performance of the candidates, avoiding the possibility of cheating.

There is no doubt about Lin Tianyi's talent and learning.

Among other things, even if it is an article in the palace examination, he is enough to secure the champion.

As for other aspects...

Lin Tianyi frowned slightly and thought for a moment, feeling that there was no problem, so he relaxed.

The exam continues.

Because old Qin Ge came up with the questions, the spring test this time was quite difficult.

Dozens of policy theories have been published successively, causing most people to complain, and many people even fainted after writing the policy theories.

Lin Tianyi also encountered a little trouble.

On the second day of the exam, it began to rain heavily. Fearing that the test papers would get wet, he had to support the tarpaulin with his hands, which slowed down his answering speed a lot.

Fortunately, although the weather was gloomy in the next few days, it didn't rain anymore, so he could answer the questions and hand in the paper at the last moment.

Because of the weather, many candidates fell.

When Lin Tianyi walked out of the examination room, he was top-heavy and groggy because of the high tension of the examination and did not sleep much. After being picked up by the Lin family, he fell asleep on the carriage with peace of mind.
