572 Court examinations (2)

His aunt felt at ease and brought Lu ‘e out of the room. When she crossed the door, she suddenly screamed.

Xu Erlang was shocked. He ran out of the room to check the situation. He saw a woman in white standing quietly in the courtyard with a red umbrella.

At this time, it was not long after midnight, and the sky had not yet brightened. The woman was holding a Scarlet umbrella, wearing white clothes, and her whole body exuded a strange aura.

“Mrs. Xu.”

Susu smiled sweetly and bowed.

The Auntie heaved a sigh of relief. She thought to herself,’why is she out here at this hour instead of sleeping in her room?’ He almost thought that he had encountered a ghost.

Xu Erlang stared at susu for a moment, then looked away without a word and said to his aunt, “”Mother, you should go back to your room to rest.”

After sending his aunt away, Xu Erlang looked at susu in the courtyard and said, “”Does my big brother know your identity?”

He can tell that I’m a Mei? As expected of a student from Yun Lu Academy … Susu smiled lightly, her two dimples showing as she said in a sweet voice, ”

“I know. He said that he would help me reforge my physical body and then be his concubine for three years.”

…….. This was really something big brother would do. Could the courtesan of the Academy’s workshop no longer satisfy his taste? He was even thinking about ghosts.

Xu niannian was dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything for a long time.

Knowing that today was the court examinations, the Xu family lit up the candles just after midnight. Li Miaozhen also came out to join in the fun. After everyone had breakfast, they sent Xu Xinian out of the residence.

Erlang, today is not only the court examination that will determine your future, but also the opportunity for you to prove your innocence and clear your name. You must do well in the examination. Xu Pingzhi was wearing his armor and holding his helmet as he gave his advice.

As Xu niannian walked out, he nodded. “I know. Don’t worry, father, I …”

The second half of his sentence was suddenly stuck in his throat. He looked at the opposite Street with a stiff expression. Two ” old acquaintances ” were standing there. One was a tall and burly monk wearing a starched robe that had turned white.

One of them was a green-robed swordsman with a strand of white hair hanging down his forehead. He was not very old, but he gave people the feeling that he had gone through a lot.

These two people again, these two people again!

Xu nianxin was roaring in his heart.

“That’s big brother’s friend …” Xu Qi ‘an patted him on the shoulder to calm the anger in his heart.

He hadn’t been in contact with number four before, so he had asked Xu niannian to take the blame for him as a cover. Now that Xu Qi ‘an’s identity was gradually stabilizing, Chu Yuanqian had gradually accepted the role of her third cousin.

Once the inherent concept was formed, scholar Chu wouldn’t deliberately scrutinize it, and wouldn’t have doubts such as “there’s something strange about number three.” This was why people tended to trust their friends and familiar people more easily.

Hengyuan and Chu Yuanyu smiled and nodded. After greeting each other, their eyes immediately fell on li Miaozhen.

This Holy Virgin had a fair and clean oval face. Her face was bare, but her eyes were like black pearls, clear and bright. Her eyebrows were sharp, which highlighted her fierce temperament.

Rather than the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect, she was more like a female general who had been on the battlefield for. long time … That’s right, she had been in the Army in Yunzhou for a year … Hengyuan put his hands together and smiled at li Miaozhen.

His aura was restrained, and his cultivation base couldn’t be seen through … “However, since she’s come to capital city, it means that she’s already a rank-4. Heh, after my defeat in the battle with Zhang Kaitai back then, I haven’t fought a rank-4 for many years.

Chu Yuanyang smiled, but his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

The bald man was number six, and the one with the sword was number four. Well, as number one said, number four didn’t follow the Orthodox path of the human sect … Li Miaozhen nodded as a greeting.

As for number five, Lina, she was still sleeping soundly in her room, just like her disciple, Xu lingying.

“Da da da …”

The three men from the Xu family rode away. Li Miaozhen watched their backs and heard Hengyuan’s voice, ” Amitabha. I hope No. 3 can get into the top 10.

Chu Yuanqian snorted. it’s already not bad to get second place. He’s still a student of Yun Lu Academy after all. However, number three has a big secret.”

“Secret?” Heng Yuan asked in surprise.

Chu Yuan nodded with a smile and said, “”If I’m not wrong, the phenomenon of the clear air rushing into the sky from Yunlu Institute’s sub-Saint Hall is related to number three.

of course, these are just my guesses. I don’t have any proof. It’s up to you to believe it or not.

Hengyuan came to a realization.

Li Miaozhen’s face suddenly became strange. Number four and number six didn’t know that Xu Qi ‘an was number three and had always thought that Xu nianxin was number three.

If they knew the truth in the future and recalled what they said today, would they be as ashamed as me and want to beat Xu Qi ‘an up? She had no choice but to hide it for him.

Because this way, everyone could pretend that nothing had happened.

Thinking of this, she looked at number four and number six with pity.

………….

The darkness before dawn was the thickest. Four hundred tribute soldiers gathered outside the meridian Gate, waiting for the court examination.

Around them were two rows of Imperial Army soldiers with torches in their hands, standing still like statues.

The civil and military officials gathered and observed the candidates from a distance. They would occasionally whisper to each other. Only the officials from the Ministry of Rites were working hard to maintain order.

The third time was to verify their identities and do a headcount.

The meridian Gate had five holes, three main gates and two side gates. Usually, the civil and military officials would enter from the side, and only the Emperor and Empress could enter from the main entrance.

Of course, the top scorer, second place, and Tanhua could also enjoy the honor of walking through the main entrance once.

Xu niannian of Huiyuan stood at the head of the tribute soldiers, his head held high and his face expressionless. It was as if everyone present was trash.
