The queen must start from the head

Chapter 74
In Zhennan City, after the first music competition, two competitions of archery and imperial arts followed.

Among the eighteen martial arts, bow and arrow rank first.

In the process of archery, the contestants pay attention to straight body, gentle force, skillful bow handling, calm arrow arching, pushing forward and walking backward, and the bow is fully formed.Of course, whether you can hit the ten bull's-eyes in the midfield is the final criterion.

There were only a few people who signed up for these two competitions. Before Mu Lian played, the others stepped forward to show their strength one by one. Although they were not very brilliant, they were quite satisfactory.

When Mu Lian came on stage, everyone couldn't help but stare.

Her body was as tense as a string, with her left hand drawing a bow and her right hand drawing an arrow. At this moment, she seemed to be a sharp arrow that was about to kill the enemy, and the powerful aura of human and arrow burst out.

Several warriors on the judging table, who were sitting upright, leaned forward one by one.They opened their eyes wide, using all their strength to capture the next trajectory of the arrow.

Is that an arrow?
No, it's not!

When Mu Lian loosened her fingertips, ten arrows were shot at the same time!
These ten arrows all flew towards their respective bullseyes.The spectators only felt that their eyes were blurred. When they took a closer look, all ten targets hit the innermost circle, and the arrow tails did not even tremble.

"Such terrifying control, such keen perception, is this the power of a saint?" A judge looked at the arrow shot by Mu Lian and muttered to himself.

A few days ago, the monarch directly issued several edicts from the imperial city to confer Mulian as a teacher to protect the country, but he heard that those edicts and the generous rewards above were declined by the unattractive woman in front of him.

It was heard that the reason she refused to be a national teacher was that she was already the head of a faction and was unable to be the national teacher of Northern Qi.

After the news spread back to the imperial city, there was no further news in the palace.

Many people secretly say that Mu Lian is too stupid a girl, she doesn't care about the monstrous power and wealth at her fingertips, but sticks to the sect composed of old and weak women and children. The surname lives on Luohuang Mountain.

This incident made Mu Lian often mentioned by some officials in the court.In their view, even His Majesty doesn't care about the people of Tianhai City, why do you, Mu Lian, jump out and take care of them?You are a small mountain and a small sect, but you have gathered tens of thousands of people. What is your intention?
As a result, many trumped-up charges were constantly listed, and then put on Mu Lian's head.

Regarding this, the monarch Li Tianming just looked at those courtiers indifferently and said, "Then Aiqing, are you willing to go to Luohuang Mountain and take down Na Mulian in person?"

As soon as these words came out, those who took the lead shrank like quails.Are you kidding me by asking them to capture Mu Lian?They are extraordinary saints, how can they fight?
After giving Mu Lian an excellent result, the judge continued to watch her next competition.

In recent days, news that the Great Qin Empire is about to go south has spread throughout the imperial city.Something that wanted to betray the country and seek glory jumped out impatiently, wishing to personally take down this unsightly female saint who suddenly appeared.But His Majesty has sharp eyes, how could he allow these villains to succeed?
What is the reason why these people came here from the imperial city all the way?The purpose is to ensure the fairness of the Baiyi test that Mu Lian participated in.Of course, if the opponent's performance is not satisfactory, they will also take some special measures.Fortunately, Mu Lian's performance did not require them to take action.

Next, they, the judges, will stay in Zhennan City until the day when the results of the rural examination are announced.And their task is to ensure that Mu Lian successfully enters the capital and participates in the next tribute examination.

After archery and imperial arts, there are also chess, calligraphy, and painting. There are hundreds of applicants for these three competitions, and many of them are superb in calligraphy and painting.

"Host, are you panicking? I just took a peek at the uncle next door for you. His calligraphy is strong and powerful, and he is self-contained. He is very likely to win the first place!"

The system, which was so busy that it panicked, knew that Mu Lian was having a competition, but still jumped out to interfere with her.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't I buy the skill pack from you? If you don't get the first place, just give me a refund."

The system was choked up, it went around the scene, and then looked at Mu Lian's works.The confidence in my heart as a system has returned.With the skill pack produced by my system, how can you people beat my host?All this is my credit, but I keep a low profile and never tell others.

After Mu Lian finished writing, she continued to paint again, completely unaware that the system was adding an inner drama to her.

After these three games were over, it was already past noon.

There are still skills such as mathematics, agriculture, crafts, and tea art, and only a few people have signed up to participate.

After consulting the inspectors and chief examiners, the jury decided to go through the four competitions in one go.

After the Baiyi additional test was finally over, all the officials, big and small, went to find food with their chests on their backs.

And Mu Lian stood under the twelve flags flying high, her eyes glanced at the top of each flag, the name that belonged to her.When her gaze fell, she happened to collide with the members of the jury opposite. These people saluted her with a smile on their faces, then turned and left.

Mu Lian felt something in her heart, these people seemed to be trying to curry favor with her?Why?
Now that Baiyi's additional test is over, the crowd of onlookers is also dispersing, and she is going to go back to the sect directly.

Suddenly, three small soldiers with the word "dead" on their foreheads came towards Mu Lian. When they saw Mu Lian, they knelt down and kowtowed, begging her for mercy with tears in their eyes.

Mu Lian scanned the writing on their foreheads, and remembered that these were the little soldiers she met who made things difficult for her on the first day of autumn.Although these people's deeds are hateful, they still cost their lives, and they are of low status and accepted by others. She just tattooed their faces, but she didn't take their lives.

Seeing that the people who were about to leave gradually gathered around again, Mu Lian frowned, looked at the people who kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said, "I didn't say I would kill you, and who sent you here? "

Seeing that Mu Lian didn't play the cards according to the routine, these people directly pointed out that they came here behind their backs because of someone behind their backs, and they felt chills in their hearts.It's over, this time things will happen.

"Master Mu, did you forget that you begged us to pretend we didn't see you carrying the cheat sheet during the scientific examination, but my brothers are upright, how could we agree? You left such an insulting mark on our faces just to keep our mouths closed. The tattooed characters..." One person reacted nimbly, bit back immediately, and began to splash dirty water on Mu Lian's head.

This blatant way of splashing dirty water in front of the victim gave Mu Lian a deep sense of familiarity.

So, she lowered her head and asked in a loud voice, "Are you the same group as the man in the Gong Yuan who wanted to kill me but falsely accused me of killing me the day I visited the examination room? Otherwise, how could you have the same ability to pour dirty water on others?"

The three of them were all taken aback when they heard the words, and only heard Mu Lian continue, "Do you still remember how I tore off that liar's hypocritical mask that day?"

The three of them looked at each other with a bad premonition in their hearts.
