At the next five o'clock the next day, Li Yanqing quietly left the house. The new little maid, Xi Mai, was still asleep. She didn't know that the little official had the habit of getting up early and running.

Li Yanqing has been running for five years using the method taught by Uncle Hu. He has gradually become very strong without any resistance. He once conducted an experiment last year and actually ran to Anyang County, 150 miles away.

After a stick of incense, Li Yanqing ran to the entrance of the Lushan Town Inn. He saw that Yue Fei was already waiting there. Yue Fei was running with Li Yanqing four years ago. Li Yanqing also taught him the breathing method, and Yue Fei also gained a lot.

Li Yanqing also taught Tang Huai and Wang Gui, but these two guys fished for three days and were unwilling to run, so naturally they had no effect.

"How long has the old Yue been here?" Li Yanqing ran to Yue Fei in front of him and asked with a smile.

Yue Fei was warming up, and he twisted his body and smiled, "I just arrived, but those two guys have not come yet."

Li Yanqing looked at the other end of the town. It was dark and could not see anything clearly. Spring was sleepy and autumn was exhausted. It was the time for a good time to sleep. Can Wang Gui and Tang Huai get up?

"Do you think they will come today?"

"I think I should come!"

Yue Fei scratched his head and said, "You told Agui yesterday that he had martial arts skills to learn. He was usually very active, and so did Lao Tang."

Yesterday Li Yanqing promised to teach Wang Gui a guard move. The guard move does not require too fast speed, and Wang Gui can learn it.

As soon as Yue Fei finished speaking, Wang Gui and Tang Huai also came out of breath.

"Old Li, let me see the secrets of martial arts!" Wang Gui grabbed Li Yanqing's arm and began to urge him impatiently. Wang Gui liked the secrets of martial arts the most. He was excited all night last night, and was waiting for Li Yanqing to give him the secrets.

Li Yanqing took out three pieces of paper from his arms. This was what he had drawn from Uncle Hu's booklet last night and handed it to Wang Gui, "There are three moves in total, one move to defend the sword, one move to defend the knife, and one move to defend the stick, you can practice it yourself!"

Wang Guiru took the treasure and opened it in the glimmer of light of the lantern. Tang Huai also came up. The above three moves were very simple, as if they were just taking a few steps back.

"It's that simple?" Wang Gui was extremely disappointed. He thought it was a clever defensive technique. Tang Huai was also disappointed, but he didn't say it out.

Yue Fei looked at it for a moment, but he understood and said to Wang Gui: "This is a move that simplifies the complexity. The key is to have fast body movements and accurate judgments. I think the prerequisite for practicing it is to practice body movements and reactions."

When Wang Gui heard that he had to practice his body skills and reactions, he immediately said listlessly: "I have always been slow in movements, and there is no point in practicing again. Old Tang may be suitable."

He handed the three pieces of paper to Tang Huai, but Tang Huai rolled his eyes and refused to answer it. He thought it was too simple.

"Don't give it to me!"

Yue Fei took the drawing from Wang Gui, "I'll go back to practice and make you two regret it."

"I won't regret it!"

Wang Gui stretched out his waist and yawned, "Sleeping is the most practical. I'll go to the grocery store to take a look, you guys run away!"

"I'll go to sleep for a while, running, or something, it doesn't seem to be suitable for me."

Tang Huai followed Wang Gui to slip away, but Li Yanqing smiled at Yue Fei and said, "I've inquired. The new imperial guard coach is Zhou Tong. He was once the 800,000 imperial guard coach coach in Tokyo. He is the old man we met yesterday."

Wang Gui and Tang Huai couldn't walk anymore. Wang Gui turned around and asked salivatingly: "Old Li, what will he usually take for the exam if he accepts a disciple?"

"I only heard that when he was a coach in the imperial guards, he liked to let soldiers run the most. His request for taking disciples was to run twenty miles in half an hour."

"No! You are teasing us, right?" Tang Huai looked at Li Yanqing with doubt.

Li Yanqing spread his hands and said, "It's up to me whether I want to say it or not, I believe it or not, my mother, I'm leaving!"

He turned around and ran, and Yue Fei followed closely behind. He ran less than a hundred steps, and heard a hurry running sound from behind, "Wait for us!" Wang Gui shouted behind them.

Li Yanqing and Yue Fei looked at each other, and they raised their heads and laughed together.

This trip ran from Lushan Town to Zhangji Town, and then returned. After more than 40 miles, Li Yanqing and Yue Fei were full of energy and energetic, and did not feel tired at all. However, Wang Gui and Tang Huai were so tired that they were like dogs. They stuck their tongues and ran back. Finally, it was over. The two immediately collapsed on the side of the road and could no longer move.

"I'll get the book bag!" Yue Fei ran to the inn opposite the official road, and their book bags were all stored in the inn.

"Others are laughing at me, get up quickly!"

Li Yanqing kicked the two of them gently, but they were humming and refused to move. He squatted down and smiled at them, "If you usually ask you to run, you will not run. If you run for a month according to the method I teach you, you will not be tired. At least you can pass Master Zhou's test of taking apprentices. How about it, continue running tomorrow?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Wang Gui struggled to say something, and he felt that he was going to die today.

"What are you doing?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

When Li Yanqing turned around, he saw his master Yao Ding standing not far behind them, with his hands behind his back, his eyes as severe as ever.

Li Yanqing quickly stood up and bowed to his master and said, "Report to Master, we just came back from the morning run!"

"It's understandable to exercise in the morning jogging, but don't lie on the official road like two dogs, which makes people laugh and lose the face of Lushan School!"

Wang Gui and Tang Huai had already gotten up in a mess and stood in front of the master with their hands hanging down. Yao Ding glared at them and asked again, "Where is Yue Fei?"

"Master, I'm here!"

Yue Fei had already run over from the opposite side of the official road, holding four book bags in his arms, Yao Ding said to him: "Wait a minute, you and Yanqing come to my room, and I'll talk to you about the exam."

Yue Fei is different from Li Yanqing. He is Yao Ding's grandson. His life arrangements are basically decided by Yao Ding, and even Yue Fei's father cannot interfere.

Yue Fei and Li Yanqing bowed and said, "Students understand!"

"You go back and clean up! Today, Jiang Zhixian County is coming to Xiaohe Township for inspection, and I guess we are going to our Lushan School, but it has nothing to do with you, so you just need to prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

After Yao Ding finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the school. It was obvious that he was not concerned about the arrival of the magistrate. Anyway, someone would be very enthusiastic about the preparations, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Li Daguang took a hundred students to clean the school early in the morning. He squatted at the entrance of the school to pull weeds, and washed the stone path clean with well water. He sent eight students to stand at the intersection, and the stalls were strictly prohibited from entering.

Under the mobilization of Li Daguang, the entire Lushan School had a long holiday and cleaned the school inside and out to prepare to welcome the arrival of the magistrate.

In a school room called "Baihu Hall" by the students, more than 20 students did not participate in the overall cleaning. They were still practicing calligraphy. In another nine days, they would face the county exam. Everyone was extremely nervous. Although the exam was not difficult, half of the students had to be eliminated every year. Children from rich families could still pay for their studies, but poor children had no choice.

In Yao Ding's room next door, Yao Ding slowly said to Yue Fei: "Your academic level is a little worse than Yanqing, so it is unrealistic to go directly to the test for the exam, but it is enough for you to take the state to study. I want to know your thoughts."

Yue Fei lowered his head and said, "Students also want to study in the county school like Yanqing for one year, and then take the state school exam at the end of the year."

There were two ways to become an official in the Song Dynasty. One was the imperial examination and the other was the Imperial Academy. Relatively speaking, the imperial examination was too difficult, and the Imperial Academy was much easier.

Especially after Wang Anshi promulgated the Three Stories of the Imperial Academy, local and state schools have promoted the Three Stories of the Imperial Academy. State schools are one of the important conditions for studying in the Imperial Academy, and county schools are the only way to enter state schools, and a rigorous education system has been formed.

Of course, the two ways are mutually connected. The Taixue School can take the provincial examination for the imperial examination. Similarly, if you pass the Examination, you can apply to study at the Taixue School.

Yao Ding combined the two's levels and decided to let Li Yanqing take the imperial examination route and Yue Fei take the Imperial Academy route. Since Yue Fei has expressed his willingness to study in the state, Yao Ding no longer restrains Yue Fei in the minor sections.

Yao Ding smiled and said, "This is OK. Last year, the county scholastics and the army was destroyed, all of them turned to the state school. 60% of the students passed the exam. I believe that as long as you study hard for a year, you will have the chance to get into the state school."

Yue Fei hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Master for your fulfillment!"

Yao Ding smiled and said to Li Yanqing next to him: "I got a news yesterday that there are two students in Tangbeixiang School who are the same as you, and I am preparing to participate in the Dispatch Examination this year."

"Master, is one of them named Zhang Xian?" Li Yanqing still remembers the scene of the Boys' Meeting five years ago.

"It seems!"

Yao Ding sighed again, "I can understand why outstanding students are not willing to study in the county school. Last year, the Tangyin County scholars were completely destroyed. None of them passed the imperial examination. This is by no means accidental. The new magistrate ruthlessly interfered in the county school, and the consequences have gradually emerged. I originally wanted you to study in the county school for another two years, but now I have changed my mind. You will go to Anyang County to take the exam at the end of this year! One takes the imperial examination and the other takes the provincial school."

Li Yanqing and Yue Fei quickly exchanged a look of their eyes, and both of them showed joy. The master finally figured it out.

Yao Ding stroked his short beard and smiled at Li Yanqing, saying, "And the test of the test is not as difficult as before. Even the Jinshi is easier than before. In the past, only more than a hundred people were admitted per year. However, last year, he actually admitted 670 Jinshi. The difficulty of the test is relaxed, and the test is the same, so I have confidence in you."

"Master, what are the shortcomings of students?" Li Yanqing asked again.

Yao Ding pondered for a moment and said, "I have been teaching you according to the subjects of the Jinshi exam in the past few years. The answers and tests are within this range. Whether it is the new meaning of the three classics, the classics, the strategies or theories, your foundation is very solid, but you are still a little short of practice, and the same is true for Yue Fei. Even if you take the provincial examination, you have to do more questions."

Yao Ding took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. Then he continued: "It is recommended that you look at the previous exam questions and take more questions from the sergeant students. Yue Fei worked hard on calligraphy, so there should be no big problem. You all have more than half a year and there is still time."

After pausing, Yao Ding smiled bitterly again: "In addition, Yanqing's martial arts skills need to be practiced. Although the martial arts skills are not allowed, our magistrate has requirements. I am worried that the martial arts skills will be a stumble for you. No matter how good the exam is, the magistrate will not be admitted to the magistrate."

"Master, will this happen?" Yue Fei asked in surprise.

"Why can't it?"

Yao Ding sneered: "In the past, Liu Magistrate Liu explicitly stipulated that scholars who did not enter the county would not guarantee that the trial would be passed. Although this Magistrate Jiang did not have this requirement, his martial arts skills would not be up to standard, so he would make things difficult. Why do you think Tangyin County could not even pass a juren last year?"

At this time, the bell for the urgent gathering suddenly rang, and Yao Ding's face changed. It must be that the magistrate had arrived. He quickly said to Li Yanqing and Yue Fei: "You go and gather first! Don't neglect the magistrate. His temper is like a big knife. It will be more than worth the loss if he offended him."

Yue Fei and Li Yanqing walked out of the room quickly and saw the students running towards the open space. Yue Fei whispered to Li Yanqing: "No one of the juren has passed the exam, but because of his unqualified martial arts skills, this magistrate is too blatant to interfere in the imperial examination!"

"I heard that he is the man of the Grand Marshal Tong Guan, and his backstage is very strong, and the state government cannot afford to offend him. Moreover, the state examination is not a provincial examination after all, and it is normal for a county candidate to pass the exam. The examiner said that the article was not qualified, so what can you do?"

"You are right, just like before, I took the Jinshi exam and found the specified range of poems. No matter how well I wrote the poem, I would be judged as unqualified. We can't control other people's affairs, just take care of yourself."

"Old Li, Lao Yue, here! Here!"
