The next morning, Li Xu had breakfast delivered by Yu Yu himself. After that, he took two guards out of the city and headed to the prefectural army camp outside the north gate.

Yu Yu brought a letter from Song Yu and asked Li Xu to hand it over to Li Zhijin, the commander of Yaozhou, who was commanding the prefecture army.

The state army camp is five miles northwest of the city. The camp is continuous and the rules are strict. The soldiers standing guard outside the gate are straight and their backs are serious, which is obviously more elite than the county soldiers of Sanshui County that Li Xu saw before.

Li Xu dismounted the horse and handed the reins to the guard behind him, stepped forward to explain his purpose, and showed his proof of martial scholars.

After the gatekeeper went in and reported, a handsome young general came out soon and came to Li Xu. After checking the documents in his hand, he looked up and down again, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

After all, in the past, most of the people who came to take the martial arts exam in the past were related people, and their martial arts skills were ordinary, so they only got to gain fame and fortune after taking the martial arts exam.

In addition, when this young player saw that Li Xu was so young and was very good, he felt a little jealous and naturally added a little contempt.

Although Li Xu saw it, he didn't say anything. Xiaoxiao took out the letter from Song Yu to the Chief Li Zhijin and said, "I have a letter from the Chief Li Duwei here. Please ask the general to take me to the Chief Li Duwei."

When he heard that the handsome boy in front of him actually had a handwritten letter from the magistrate, the young general's eyes instantly reduced a lot, and he frowned and said, "Then come with me."

...

Commander Li Zhijin is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has big ears, a simple face and a tall figure. After reading Song Yu's letter, he looked at Li Xu and asked, "Since he is a junior of the magistrate, the official will naturally take care of you. Do you want to go there or wait here?"

Li Xu was a little confused, so the young player who brought him in explained in a slightly impatient tone.

It turns out that the so-called "travel" is to go to the schoolyard for a formality, and then give a qualified score and finish it. Then the lieutenant will stamp the seal, and even if Li Xu has the identity of a martial artist.

Afterwards, go to the Ministry of War to report it.

As for waiting here, you don’t even have to leave the process, just take a blank document and fill in the results.

After listening to it, Li Xu suddenly realized that this was the same as taking the driver's license in his previous life.

The first type is called guaranteed class. After paying the money, you can just go through the motions. As long as you don’t drive the car on the wall or on someone, you will be qualified. Pressing the line is not a big deal.

The second type is early driver's license test. After paying the money, you don't even have to go to the exam room. After the driver's license comes, they will send it to you directly.

Li Xu was ready to show his skills, but this was the result?

Can I easily accept the postgraduate entrance examination if I have any connection?

He blinked and said, "Master Duwei, I think it's better to take the exam."

"What?" Li Duwei asked with a stare at him, not knowing whether he didn't hear clearly or could not believe his ears.

What? Really taking the exam? This is not a fool, right? Do you think the martial arts juren is a kid playing with mud?

The young player next to him also looked question marks, and his expression was obviously like a fool when he looked at Li Xu.

Li Duwei was mature and steadfast, and his expression management was still in place. He quickly returned to his calmness. He looked at Li Xu and said, "Well, Li Xu, since there is a letter of recommendation from the magistrate, I believe you must have real talents and knowledge. This test is not very meaningful to you."

Li Xu shook his head and pointed at the young general next to him and asked, "Master Duwei, how can you ask what is the young general called?"

Li Duwei glanced at the young general next to him and introduced: "This is Lin Gang, a cavalry captain of the state army. He is one of the few brave generals in the Yaozhou Prefecture Army. Whether it is swordsmanship, foot shooting, or even cavalry shooting, they are the best among the state army, and they will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Li Xu nodded and thanked him, bowed and said, "Prince Li, I am grateful for the love of the captain. But it is obvious that this Captain Lin must have contempt for me in his heart, thinking that I am a relative, so I must be a flaw in the embroidered pillow. As for me, I don't care about such people who judge people by their appearance, but I can't lose the face of the magistrate."

Li Duwei didn't know what Li Xu wanted to do, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "So, what do you want to do?"

Li Xu bowed and said, "I beg the Chief of the Commander to allow me to discuss with this Chief of Captain Lin. The method of the Chief of Captain Lin is selected, and I can do it."

As he said that, he looked at Lin Gang and looked provocative.

In addition to taking the martial arts exam, he also wanted to find someone to test his skills. He originally wanted to have a skill that shocked everyone, but he didn't expect that he could get a certificate without taking the exam, which really disappointed him.

However, seeing this little captain named Lin Gang's nose is not his nose or his eyes, he thinks it is him, and he can just try his best.

When Li Duwei heard this, he frowned slightly. Before he could speak, he saw Lin Gang next to him already sneered and walked forward: "What an arrogant boy, since you have humiliated yourself, don't blame me for not saving you face. But what should you do if you lose?"

Li Xu smiled indifferently and said, "If I lose, I have no shame to take this Martial Juren's identity, and I will apologize to Captain Lin in person. But what if I win?"

Lin Gang laughed in a hurry and said, "If you win? Haha, if you can beat me, I will admit that I am a dog-eyed person and crawling in this camp to learn to bark."

Lin Gang is also the son of a general. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has always been the best among his peers. He joined the state army and fought all over the entire army. Therefore, he was arrogant and could not bear the stimulation at all. He could not help but be so loud that he made a poisonous oath.

Commander Li frowned and looked at Lin Gang and said, "Person Lin, don't be impulsive, there is no joke in the army."

He was mature and steadfast. At first, he heard Li Xu say he wanted to challenge Lin Gang, and he felt that Li Xu might be young and frivolous and could not stand being despised by others, so he was so provocative. However, when he looked closely at Li Xu's expression, there was a hint of joy in the calmness, and suddenly he felt that he might have thought it was simple.

This handsome boy could not be an arrogant and reckless man if he could be recommended by the governor. So seeing Lin Gang being so impulsive, he woke up in surprise, hoping that Lin Gang could take back the harsh words he had just made.

Li Xu did not give Lin Gang this opportunity, so he took a step forward, almost facing Lin Gang, staring at Lin Gang's eyes and said, "A gentleman's words?"

Lin Gang shouted in a low voice: "It's hard to chase after all!"

Li Xu took two steps back, stroking his hands and laughing: "Person Lin is indeed a real man, I admire you. Since that's the case, please ask Lord Duwei to be a witness."

Li Duwei sighed, looked at Li Xu deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since you two are interested, I will give you a testimony. But I agreed in advance that this is just a competition, not a battlefield fight, so the competition is still based on the martial arts assessment items. Then compare the four items of sword dance, weightlifting, step shooting and riding shooting. Lin Zhengwei first and Li Xu later. If Li Xu wins all the results of Lin Zhengwei win, then Li Xu wins."

Li Xu looked at Li Duwei with a smile. Li Duwei's face became hot when he was seen, but he still had to pretend to be nothing.

After all, it is anyone who can hear that Li Duwei is favoring Lin Gang.

Li Xu didn't speak because he was confident that he would surpass Lin Gang in all four items. After all, he was a lie. The previous few actual combat battles made him full of confidence in his own skills.

So even if he saw that Li Duwei favored Lin Gang, he didn't care.

However, Lin Gang disagreed and stepped forward and bowed: "Guardian, if this kid can beat me, I am willing to admit defeat."

Li Duwei looked at the calm Li Xu, then looked at Lin Gang with a proud look on his face, and thought to himself that this was really a proud guy. He could only sigh and said, "Everyone has his own strengths, so why not do you think this is the case. Li Xuruo has two goals that are better than Captain Lin. Even if he wins, what do you think?"

Li Xu and Lin Gang looked at each other and bowed, "As for the orders of the Chief Commander!"
