...

Two days later, Fang Zhengzhi was preparing to go to Xinhe Prefecture to participate in the government examination.↖

Unlike the silence when he left last time, this time, after learning that Fang Zhengzhi was leaving, the villagers of the village rushed over early in the morning.

All kinds of food, drinks, stuff them into a square bag.

"High integrity, don't worry! We are taking care of you in the village. It doesn't matter if you have tried it. You should not think too much about the top two lists, just try your best!"

"Yes! The main thing is to do your best. It's better to be young. You can work hard for a few more years!"

Qin Xuelian glanced at the villagers talking around, then put the packed bag on the silver scale armor and walked to Fang Zhengzheng.

"Just, take the exam well! Even if you can't pass the exam, you won't be embarrassed! Do you know?"

Fang Zhengzhi was a little depressed. He had won the top of the double list. Why did his mother still not believe in him? He is his biological child!

However, I understand it as soon as I think about it.

Just like when she was hunting for the first time, Qin Xuelian did not ask herself to catch prey. All she wanted was the word "peace", so she did not want to be honest and upright to do anything.

Perhaps, this is the love of a mother for her son, selfless love.

"Just, be careful along the way!" Fang Houde stood next to the silver scale horse, fed a handful of grass into the horse's mouth, and then touched the silver scale horse with the remaining hand, with a strong reluctance in his expression.

A father, no matter how reluctant he is, he will not show it. Perhaps Fang Houde is such a person, and he would rather put this reluctance on the silver scale horse.

After saying goodbye to the villagers, Zhang Yangping stopped him again when he was at the entrance of the village.

"If you take these broken silver, you have to spend a little along the way, don't save too much!" Zhang Yangping threw a bulging wallet over.

Fang Zhengzhi did not refuse. Although he still had a silver note of 100 taels on him, the wallet represented Zhang Yangping's high hopes for him.

"Thank you Uncle Yangping!" Fang Zhengzhi thanked.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yangping waved his hand.

Fang Zhengzhi pulled the reins of the horse, and the silver-scaled horse made a long neigh and ran towards the front.

"You must remember that even if you can't pass this test, it doesn't matter! The whole village and I will continue to support you! Don't be embarrassed to come back!"

Behind him, Zhang Yangping's shout came.

Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips, what does it mean that he can’t pass the exam?

...

Generally speaking, candidates have always had a tradition of walking together when taking the exam. In addition to being able to take care of each other, the reason here is more about safety.

It takes half a month to ride a horse from Huaian County to Xinhe Prefecture, and there are even more mountains and remote places.

Fang Zhengzhi delayed for a few days in Huaian County and later returned to Beishan Village, so time became relatively nervous.

By the time he rushed back to Huaian County, the candidates who were walking in teams had almost gone.

There is no way, you can only go alone.

He rode his horse and splashed a tail of smoke and dust along the way. His luck was indeed quite good. He ran for eight days before he encountered a team of robbers.

"Robbery!" Several bandits who were sabers blocked Fang Zhengzheng's way.

While the bandits opened their mouths, more than a dozen bandits pulling bows and arrows appeared in the grass on both sides of the mountain road, and the iron bow in each of them turned into a full moon.

The arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at Fang Zhengzheng's throat.

Perhaps, Fang Zhengzheng only needs to say the word "no" and immediately understand the sourness of the rain of arrows in the sky...

...

When Fang Zhengzheng was robbed, the Xinhe Mansion was already in an uproar.

Xinhe Prefecture, the source of Xinhe River, is backed by the mountains. There is a blue pool on the mountain called Moyoutan. It is the origin of the source of Xinhe River. There is a statue of a white jade king built in the pool. It stands quietly in the pool and has been worshipped by talented people from all over the world for many years.

But now, under this Mo You Pond are countless talented men in gorgeous clothes.

Some smile on their faces, walk indifferently, drink a gulp of water from time to time, and recite a few praises. Some sit with beauty, observe the mountains, the water, and the crowds.

Water, the spirit of all things.

With water, there will naturally be an elegant teahouse with ancient music.

Just hang a few poems like "The water in the ink pond is a unique drink, and there are people in the mountains" and you will immediately gather talented men and beautiful women. Even if the price is several times higher, you will not be able to save such elegant pleasure.

Yan Xiu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, is an alien among the talented men coming and going to Mo Youtan. Although he did not recite poems and painting like those talented men, he could not stand his wealth.

Therefore, he occupied the best viewing attic in Moyoutan.

And he was also betrayed the next month in one go.

After being with someone for a long time, he will be somewhat affected by the other person's habits, such as the current expression of the man who is a big man of Xu, who does not speak or is angry or laughs.

Of course, compared with Yan Xiu's indifference, the skills of the great man in the field of the sage are still a little worse.

In the attic, a maid sat respectfully at the table, flew with her hands, and tidied up tea for Yan Xiu, while Yan Xiu looked at the talented men who kept surging by Mo You Pond with a cold face.

Under the attic, at a table that was so lively, several talented men in brocade clothes were shaking their heads while talking excitedly.

"Look, another person from the Hidden Dragon List has arrived in Xinhe Mansion!"

"You mean Kang Xingping? Although Kang Xingping also ranked 80th in the Qianlong List, it is far from the current ones in Xinhe Mansion!"

"Indeed, I didn't expect it to be just a mansion test, which actually attracted so many people to travel thousands of miles to Xinhe Mansion! Tang Yucheng, the 35th place in the Qianlong List, and the peak strength of the Guanyin Realm!"

"There is also Zhang Hetong, the 28th place in the Qianlong List. He had reached the peak of the Guanyin Realm two years ago. I heard that he had already reached the threshold of the Gathering Star Realm."

"Especially that Hua Kang'an! He is ranked 20th in the Qianlong List, the strength of the Star Realm, and also ranked on the Shenglong List! Unexpectedly, he also ran to Xinhe Mansion!"

Several talented men spoke while sighing.

"It seems that the Xinhe Mansion trial is not easy. I want to go to another city. It is really a torture to participate in the Xinhe Mansion trial!"

"The idea is good, but now you want to change the city? How can you change it? You can't get through the journey alone! Moreover, although there are many people participating in Xinhe Mansion this time, the benefit is that it is rare to see it in a century! Otherwise, why would you really think that these people all came to Xinhe Mansion?"

"Brother Li said very well, hahaha... I'm just kidding, but I'm actually here for this?"

Yan Xiu sat quietly in the attic and listened, with a cold expression on his face. He didn't say a word, nor did he pay attention to the maid who was Checha. He only subconsciously pinched the golden bones and silver silk paper fan in his hand.
