I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 32

"Wei Tu?" Chen Zhixian stroked the three-inch clear beard under his chin, pondered for a while, and then ordered the clerk to bring the roster of candidates for this martial arts examination to his desk.

At present, the court of the state of Zheng has enjoyed 260 three years of Guozuo, and the atmosphere of official governance is corrupt, which is much worse than that of the previous dynasty.

Fraud in imperial examinations in various provinces, prefectures and counties occurred frequently.

Not only limited to one county of Qingshan County.

"However, if the Weitu's grades are poor, it's just to find another reason to shirk, and the risk is still too great..." Chen Zhixian thought to himself while looking through the roster.

No first text.

Wu Wu is second.

Martial arts exams are different from literary exams, unlike the depth of essays, the level of martial arts candidates can be seen at a glance even by laymen.

The three subjects of skill and bravery, horse archery and infantry, these achievements cannot be faked.

"It turned out to be the first class in lifting stones, and the grades of other subjects are also first class. There is only one class of sword dancing, which is slightly lower, and it is second class..."

Chen Zhixian was a little surprised when he found Weitu's results. With Weitu's results, he could be said to be the most popular candidate to win the championship.

It can be seen from this that the purpose of the Huang family's gift to him was not to let Weitu be selected into the list and be eligible to participate in the government examination, but to let him appoint Weitu as the leader of the county martial arts examination.

"Now there are only trials in the outfield and tactics in the infield..."

"Both can move their hands and feet."

Chen Zhixian tapped the roster on the wooden case, and asked the scribes to call the examiners for this county martial arts "competition test".

……

afternoon.

The "test" in the outfield begins.

"Competition test" is the only actual combat assessment in martial arts. Two-by-two teams compete in the test, and if they are successfully promoted to the top ten, they will be considered first-class.

As for the martial arts level of the top ten in the test, we will not make specific comparisons in the county test and the government test. After all, fists and feet have no eyes, so there is no need for candidates to be seriously injured in the county test and government test.

Except for the fact that Chief Wu is eligible to pass the government examination, there is no difference between the rest of the candidates who entered the list.

No.2 is treated the same as the last one.

There is no need to distinguish between high and low.

During the Taoist test, Wu Xiucai will be treated differently, and only then will they be truly ranked.

"I hope that in the competition, I won't meet those martial artists who dance swords and armor, otherwise..."

When the examiner began to divide into groups and read their names, Wei Tu prayed secretly.

With all his efforts and calculations, he hadn't practiced sword skills for more than half a year, and he had no actual combat experience during that period.

Therefore, no matter whether it was the performance of "sword dance" or actual combat, he was far behind these rich martial artists who practiced sword skills since childhood.

soon.

The examiner of the "competition test" divided the martial artists who fought against Wei Tu.

"I don't have any impression of this martial artist. It doesn't seem to be in the first class." Wei Tu glanced at this martial artist, compared it with the list of martial artists in his mind, and thought.

Before starting the competition, the vendors of the Town God's Temple would buy the scores of each martial artist in each subject from the officials, compile them into a book, and sell them.

Among them, there is a martial artist who has entered the first class in one of the assessments, which is called the first class martial artist, and is a popular candidate for the list.

"Ma Hong, a native of Wang Du's township, please stay with Master Wei."

Soon, Wei Tu and the fighting martial artist entered the ring, and the two exchanged names.

However, Ma Hong obviously knew Wei Tu. After Wei Tu stepped onto the ring, his face changed slightly and he clasped his fists.

"Changming Township Weitu."

Wei Tu also cupped his fists to salute.

After the salute.

The two immediately fought.

lean less.

After dozens of moves, Wei Tu forced Ma Hong off the ring and won his first victory.

——The performance of Yishang sword-wielding is not considered weak, what he is afraid of is only the dozen or so martial artists who have achieved the first-class performance of sword-wielding.

Next.

Another few battles.

To Weitu's surprise, every time the examiner assigned him opponents in actual combat, they were all from the same group of relatively weak martial artists.

"Could it be..." After the fifth match, Wei Tu seemed to have thought of something, he paused on the stone steps of the arena, and subconsciously looked at Master Huang among the gentry.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

This time participating in the County Martial Arts Examination, Wei Tu did not reveal his identity to the public except for exposing to Huang Zhai that he was a disciple of the Shan Martial Arts Examination.

——He participated in the county martial arts examination, but he was not confident of winning the position of leader. He said that the background of single martial arts examination was unnecessary.

It can be seen from this that the examiner should not help him change opponents based on Shan Wuju's connections, but that someone behind him helped him.

Can have the strength to influence the examiner of the county martial arts, and is willing to help him...

Its identity is naturally ready to be revealed.

Except for Mr. Huang, who was his relative, no one met these conditions.

"Cheating in the imperial examination?" Wei Tu frowned.

——It's not that he doesn't want to see such dirty things, but he is worried that someone will use it to harm him.

For a powerful martial artist like him, making small moves would do more harm than good.

"I'm married to Mr. Huang, even if I didn't accept Mr. Huang's offer, he shouldn't have harmed me..."

Thinking of this, Wei Tu shook his head, suppressing these distracting thoughts in his heart.

soon.

Another round of competitions began.

In the absence of encountering a county martial arts master, Wei Tu did not feel any pressure to win, easily overwhelmed, and stood among the top ten in the final "competition".

As for the "little moves" that Weitu discovered, few of the martial artists present and the onlookers noticed.

After all, Wei Tu's performance before the actual battle is not weak, and he is a popular candidate for the leader of the martial arts. Against other martial artists, he can easily win.

"Weitu?"

Among the top ten, a young man with brows deep into his temples took a deep look at Wei Tu standing next to him, his eyes slightly contemptuous.

Wei Tu tried to cheat, but the others didn't notice, but he was not among them.

Because he is afraid of Weitu's strength, he has been keeping a close eye on Weitu, observing Weitu's moves, and wants to use this to formulate tactics...

just unexpectedly...

During this period, he saw the possibility of Wei Tu cheating in the competition.

"Forget it, it's not a good thing for me to make a lot of noise." Wei Fei shook his head, and withdrew his gaze from Wei Tu.

Report imperial examination fraud.

The target was not only Wei Tu alone, but also officials of all sizes in Qingshan County.

He didn't have the courage to do such things in the exam.

Besides, even if the report is successful.

In the future, his future will also be ruined.

Officials protect each other,

It has never been a lie.

……

After the show.

Wei Tu asked Mr. Huang to confirm his guess during the test.

The results were as expected.

For this martial arts competition, Master Huang did say hello to Chen Zhixian.

"The county leader seems to be useless, and only has the function of guaranteeing the test, but...in fact, when you are an official, the government sees that you are the county leader, and will arrange some good military positions for you as appropriate..."

"Furthermore, even if uncle and I don't do it, other gentry will do it for their nephews."

"Say hello to Chenzhi County in advance, I just don't want to let you get the grades you deserve, because there is no bribe...so you will fall..."

On the carriage, Master Huang sat opposite Wei Tu, and he explained slowly.

　Thank you for the 2000 starting coins that I love to reward for fine wine and sweet potatoes
