The time of the palace examination and the meeting examination is quite close.

Before Chen Lingfeng could prepare, time came in the blink of an eye.

The normal martial arts hall examinations of the Dashun Dynasty usually have to be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but the ground was moved a year ago and the Hall of Supreme Harmony was slightly damaged. As a result, the Ministry of Revenue and the Inner Mansion had all kinds of disputes, but they did not intend to pay for the money. As a result, after a whole year of construction, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was still not repaired properly.

However, because the damage was not serious, the emperor usually didn't say anything and just did it. However, if the palace examination was still held here, no matter how luxurious the emperor was, he would be a little embarrassed.

Without the need for the reminder of the emperor, the officials who were good at calculating the holy will automatically and spontaneously arranged the palace examination outside the gate of Shillonde.

Even though he was very good at doing such an errand, he was so arrogant that he could still look indifferent to the dilapidated Palace of Supreme Harmony.

A few dozen days before the palace examination began, the entire Longde Gate had a radius of dozens of miles, with guards in front of the imperial guards, imperial guards, Eastern Guards, and Imperial City Command directly under the garrison. Each of them had jurisdiction. Everyone wanted to grow a third pair of eyes and stare at the surroundings.

Ordinary pedestrians probably don’t feel it, but the young masters who are used to having fun nearby feel that they don’t have half an inch of land under their feet. They all bow their heads and walk as far as they can.

The entire palace examination was very popular. On that day, His Majesty first climbed into the stands that had been built long ago and took the seats, and all civil and military officials followed.

Chen Lingfeng stood in the first row and led the future martial arts scholars into the venue. They first had to answer three policy topics in a row, and after writing and submitting the test papers, the next step was to perform martial arts directors respectively.

The two of them partnered in the martial arts war and fought against each other. The generals led by Xiao Han gave their respective results as examiners.

As Huiyuan, Chen Lingfeng did not rank first when he was performing martial arts. He drew eleventh draws, but he was actually a good ranking.

The opponent is Chen Tingnan, the young master of Duke Chen. The young master has seen the seriousness of his skills. His foundation is very solid. He is an extremely orthodox military tactic, with a great move.

Chen Lingfeng's martial arts are more agile. Even though Yang Yuying gave him some medicinal food, took a medicinal bath these days, and then used spiritual energy to sort out the meridians and regulate his body. His physical fitness was already outstanding, but when he fought with others, he was still used to winning by skill and often avoiding head-on battles with others.

He himself knew this problem and had begun to learn to correct it. The opponent he met now is very suitable for him to learn. What better way to learn than to try it out?

When Chen Lingfeng thought of this, he bowed to Mr. Chen with a smile on his face.

Chen Tingnan's face turned slightly red and he nodded with a smile.

The two of them were in harmony and both felt that their opponents were in line with their own wishes.

Qin Hai: “…hum.”

The deputy general of the Lin family had been slowing down by the old friends who were in charge of the lottery draw in the morning, wanting to operate the secretly.

He lost to Chen Lingfeng very unwillingly. In this palace examination, the Holy Lord was in, and he wanted to teach Chen Lingfeng a good lesson in front of the Holy Lord. As a result, those old friends were just thinking hard and refused to understand anything.

By the way, it was common to operate secretly in previous years. Why did it happen to him when he encountered a few elm bumps?

Qin Hai was unhappy when he thought about it. Today, when he saw Chen Lingfeng's satisfied appearance with his opponent, he felt even more angry.

"snort!"

Chen Lingfeng was very confused. Fortunately, after finishing writing the strategy, the martial arts performance began immediately, and he had no time to think about it.

The emperor sat upright on the platform, looked at the candidates below, and smiled at the two prime ministers beside him, "It is my blessing that the world's talents gather here."

Left Prime Minister Qin Zhongze smiled: "It is also a blessing for the ministers to be with you."

First, the eunuch came forward to announce the imperial edict. Anyway, it was to state the importance of this martial arts, and praise the excellence of the candidates this time. They would be pillars of the court in the future, encourage them to serve the court and be loyal to His Majesty.

Then, the martial arts performance officially began.

The emperor immediately became interested. Even as the king of a country, such a big scene, he could not see it just by wanting to see it.

"Xiao Qing, look at these children, how about it?"

Xiao Han thought for a while: "There are five that are more visible, and the others are average."

The emperor nodded: "So, there are five particularly outstanding ones, and the others are not bad. It seems that this time, the martial arts can choose some useful talents for me."

He has been a monarch and minister with Xiao Han for some time, so the emperor can understand the meaning of his beloved general.

In the martial arts field, everyone was full of energy and wanted to show off their abilities. For a moment, they were fighting each other, and no one was willing to give up easily. They all wanted to leave a good impression on His Majesty.

They are the only one closest to the emperor today. In the future, most of these people may not even have the chance to meet the saint again.

The emperor admired the two rounds of martial arts performances and waved his hand to the little eunuch beside him: "Let them get closer, just in front of me, it's too far away, and I can't see clearly."

At the command of his old man, the candidates moved forward immediately, and had reached the point where they could see the emperor's expression clearly when they looked up.

The imperial guards, the imperial guards and other guards were so nervous that they sweated heavily on their foreheads.

But no one will disturb His Majesty's interest in this kind of occasion.

"Clang!"

A guard was shocked and raised many crossbow arrows quietly, but he saw a candidate in the martial arts field fighting and losing his steel knife.

The other one was sweating all over.

"Ahem."

The examiner couldn't bear to see it, and he was furious. When the examiner coughed, the two candidates slapped the other ones, and they punched each other. Although the tricks were still a little messy, the scene was still stable.

The emperor had no expression on his face and did not say anything harsh, but Xiao Han had a cold face: "My mental state is not good, and he is unbearable."

Several ministers around him looked at him squintedly. The candidates were suddenly so close to His Majesty, both excited and nervous. It was normal to make mistakes. Do those capable people who were calm and calm and unchanged in the face of Mount Tai collapsed before them, and they could just pull out a bunch of them?

"look!"

After a while, Prime Minister Qin suddenly raised his head and waved his hand. Everyone's attention instantly focused on the martial arts field.

At this time, Chen Lingfeng and Chen Tingnan had already fought.

I have to say that even civil officials who do not understand martial arts can't help but feel turbulent and sit upright.

The candidates who appeared in the field were also pretty good, but as soon as these two appeared on the stage, they immediately showed differences. Not only were they outstanding in appearance and tall in figure, they also had more confidence than other candidates.

One person held a knife and the other person held a gun, but the knife was light and agile, but the gun seemed heavy. As soon as the two of them fought, the entire martial arts field was shaken a few times, and the left and right imperial guards were a little distracted.

The emperor stood up and walked forward a few steps, turned around and asked Xiao Han who was following him: "How about these two?"

Xiao Han was silent for a while and said softly: "I... didn't have such skills back then."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Xiao Han instantly stopped and his body flashed, blocking his Majesty. He had just blocked him, and there was an whistle from afar and an arrow shot.

Because the emperor was interested in showing off his martial arts skills, there were many people watching around the martial arts field outside the Shillonde Gate. At this time, he was surprised to see a change and the people were in chaos. Fortunately, they were almost three steps, one post and one whistle, and many yamen runners were there, otherwise the scene would be even more chaotic.

Countless imperial guards appeared from every corner and instantly protected the emperor behind him. The other civil and military ministers also changed their faces and their eyes were alert. Some shrewd had already stood up and retreated backwards. The further away from the emperor, the safer it was.

The arrow was weak one after another, and it fell to the ground after a few meters.

Obviously, the archers are still far away.

Xiao Han stretched out his hand and countless figures chased after him in the direction of the arrow.

This time, the saint was there, and the guards alone brought more than 500 people, and another thousand imperial guards were nearby. The Xiying was not far away. In an instant, countless soldiers could arrive to rescue the saint. The officials came to their senses and were not worried about the safety of the saint, but were surprised. How could anyone assassinate here? This was simply a moth to the fire, pure useless work!

Shen Lingfeng and his opponent Chen Tingnan also stood back to their backs, full of vigilance.

"Hey, have you smelled it?"

Shen Lingfeng suddenly said.

"What?"

Chen Tingnan smelled a scent of cough cough, urine smell. I don’t know who it belongs, and he was embarrassed to say it.

"wrong."

Shen Lingfeng suddenly looked up, his eyes wandering around, and his expression changed drastically: "Snake, there is a snake!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed out and slapped the pillar beside His Majesty. Xiao Han reached out to drive the knife that the guards cut for him, his eyes froze slightly. The guards around him looked down and saw that this time he had really changed his expression.

Just at Shen Lingfeng's fingertips, there was a small snake, which was almost the same color as the corridor column, and it was dark red and very thin, just as thick as the little fingers.

At this time, the guards were alert to the assassins coming in the distance. Most people would not notice such a small place. If Shen Lingfeng had not been alert and let this thing bite His Majesty, then...

The group was still scared and turned around to protect His Majesty more closely.

"Let's go!" Xiao Han said coldly.

All the guards surrounded the emperor and walked out step by step.

Shen Lingfeng felt uncomfortable all over: "There are snakes, there must be one, the smell is so heavy... Sister, help me!"

He shouted wildly at the top of his voice.

Xiao Han frowned: "What did you tell her to do!"

Before his voice could be finished, Yang Yuying separated the crowd and slapped seven or eight blocking guards and walked forward.

Xiao Han frowned, but waved his hand to let the imperial guards beside him retreat: "Why are you here?"

Shen Lingfeng was a little restrained in front of His Majesty, but when he saw Xiao Han's expression, he felt angry and muttered in a low voice: "If my sister doesn't come, will you drive away the snake?"

Yang Yuying did not climb the high platform of Longde Gate at the beginning, but just gently patted the stone steps on the ground with her toes.

Many guards followed her with their eyes close to her, looking alert.

Shen Lingfeng was also nervous: "Sister, have you heard of it?"

Yang Yuying raised her index finger and compared it on her fingertips, and Shen Lingfeng suddenly fell silent.

As her toes swung, everyone could only hear some hissing sounds around them. Behind the curtains, in the gaps on the table, and in all kinds of incredible places.

Everyone: "!!"
