The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 5 Fuwei Escort, Lin Pingzhi
For literati, this is the best era, but for Lin Nuo, this is not good news.

If he wants to gain more blessings, the best way is naturally to occupy a high position and hold power, but the current emperor is regarded as a wise emperor, and it is impossible to take shortcuts to get promoted quickly. He can only rely on the imperial examination, step by step. Come.

As for enlisting in the army, Lin Nuo didn't even think about it. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the status of military generals was lower and lower. A general of the second and third ranks had to bow his head when facing a county magistrate of the seventh rank. This shows the status of the warriors. How low.

Lin Nuo needs martial arts, but he doesn't want to take the military path. The elder Ge, who has power over the government, is the path that is most in line with his interests.

"Xiu'er, tell me, how many years does our emperor have left?" In the study room under the oil lamp, Lin Nuo put down the book in his hand and asked Xue Xiu'er who was studying ink.

Talking about the emperor's life and death is a serious crime, but neither Lin Nuo nor Xue Xiu'er has any special reaction to this. In the hearts of these two people, they have no respect for the so-called secular etiquette, the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles. Heart.

"Who knows, but most of the life span of my emperor is not long. I guess our Emperor Hongzhi should not have been around for a few years?"

"Yeah, it shouldn't be a few years!"

Lin Nuo nodded lightly. After Hongzhi's death, Emperor Zhengde will take over the throne.

This playful emperor was a headache for all officials, but in Lin Nuo's opinion, he was the best emperor.

Because only this kind of emperor who likes not to play cards according to common sense, does not stick to the rules, and does things unconstrainedly, Lin Nuo has the opportunity to rise to the top step by step, without having to go through the years and qualifications step by step!

However, even if you want to reach the sky in one step, there is still one condition, and that is the imperial examination!

No imperial examination, no qualifications to be an official, even if Emperor Zhengde didn't stick to etiquette, he would not ignore the opinions of all officials and promote a young scholar to the court!

Spring went to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, from early spring to early autumn, Lin Nuo had been in this world for more than half a year.

Still in the small, dilapidated courtyard, Lin Nuo sat cross-legged facing the east, breathing continuously.

At this moment, above his head, wisps of extremely sparse purple smoke suddenly appeared, fluttered a few times in mid-air, and then submerged into Lin Nuo's eyebrows again.

The smoke and purple air disappeared, Lin Nuo opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and then his whole body did not see any other movements, as if he was floating in the air, he stood up suddenly.

"That's right, the second pulse-pulse stage of the Nine Suns Divine Art is indeed extremely simple for you. The meridians in your body are unobstructed, and you don't need to pulse the pulse. The speed of accumulating internal energy is much faster than that of ordinary people."

After Lin Nuo finished training, Xue Xiu'er came forward, pinched his wrist and examined it, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"In terms of the speed of internal strength cultivation, your half-year cultivation results are comparable to the five or six years of ordinary Jianghu knights, and the capacity of your internal strength is already comparable to second-rate Jianghu masters!"

Hearing this, Lin Nuo's face was full of joy. The suffering of the past six months was not in vain. You must know that even Xue Xiu'er, because of the practice of the Nine Yin Scriptures and the Dugu Nine Swords, can fight against top experts, but In terms of internal power capacity, it's just stuck at the peak of a first-class master.

After all, there are very few people like Lin Nuo who have unblocked meridians before training. For most people who practice martial arts, their internal energy is accumulated little by little by hitting the meridians day after day.

Even Xue Xiu'er has never heard of a pervert like Lin Nuo who doesn't need a pulse and only needs to accumulate internal strength.

"Lin Nuo, the day of the Qiuwei Township Examination is not far away, it's time for us to set off for Nanchang Mansion!"

On the table in the courtyard, Xue Xiuer had already packed up some salutes, but in fact, there were not too many things, that is, some silver taels, a change of clothes, and some dry food to satisfy the hunger on the road.

As for the rest, it is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone required for Lin Nuo's exam, as well as identification documents such as road guides and customs clearance documents.

Lin Nuo went into the room and changed into a green shirt that only scholars are qualified to wear, then tied Xue Xiu'er's saber around his waist, picked up the package on the table, and walked out of the house with his wife.

In the Ming Dynasty, the control over all kinds of weapons was extremely strict. It was impossible to bring weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds into the city. Lin Nuo's trip was to participate in the imperial examination, not to fight, so he often used it when practicing The iron gun was not with him.

After all, the long spear is too eye-catching, and it can't pass the gate guard at all.

As for the sword on his waist, as a scholar, he is qualified to wear it, and this can be regarded as one of the few benefits that the imperial court gave to a scholar.

After walking out of the yard, within a few steps, a carriage was already waiting there. Xue Xiu'er had already arranged these matters in advance without any mistakes.

The moment he stepped into the carriage, Lin Nuo suddenly had a feeling of worrying about gains and losses. These days, he doesn't need to worry about anything. He only needs to practice martial arts and study. He has long been used to the days when Xue Xiuer is by his side.

He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if Xiu'er left one day?
"What's the matter?" Xue Xiu'er subconsciously asked as if sensing Lin Nuo's strangeness.

"nothing!"

Lin Nuo shook his head, looking at the young woman in front of him who had already combed her hair in a bun and looked charming in a pale yellow dress, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"The three-year agreement is a bit short, if I knew it, I would have made it for a few more years!"

The distance from Jianchang Mansion to Nanchang Mansion is not considered short, even if two people take a carriage, it will take several days.

Fortunately, both of them are martial arts practitioners, and their cultivation bases are not weak, so this journey does not feel hard at all.

Even in the carriage, Lin Nuo didn't waste time. He practiced his internal strength every day and felt the ever-increasing smoke and purple energy in his dantian. He felt light and light, as if he wanted to become a fairy.

"Sorry!"

On this day, when Lin Nuo was sitting in the carriage practicing as usual, the carriage that was moving forward suddenly stopped.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Nuo finished his work, stood up and poked his head out, looking at the middle-aged groom driving ahead and asked.

"My little gentleman, there is a convoy from the Escort ahead of us. Let's wait for a while and wait for them to go far away before we go on our way. Otherwise, the distance is too close and it may cause misunderstanding!"

Seeing Lin Nuo, who was dressed in a scholar's robe, calling him brother, the coachman was overwhelmed with flattery. He bowed and saluted quickly, and then pointed to the front to explain.

Lin Nuo looked around and saw that there was indeed a convoy of escorts in front of them. Seven or eight strong men in heavy attire, with swords hanging from their waists and longbows on their backs, were riding tall horses, guarding a carriage in the center.

On the carriage, there were two small flags on the left and right, the left flag had a vermilion character 'Lin' embroidered on it, and the right flag had four neatly engraved characters - Fuwei Escort Bureau!

"Hehe, it's interesting!"

Unexpectedly, it was just a rush for the imperial examination, and they encountered the famous Fuwei Escort Bureau, and it seems that the Qingcheng faction who coveted Lin Pingzhi's family's evil sword manual has not yet done anything to the Fuwei Escort Bureau!
