Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 133 The Provincial Examination Begins

This time, the two big blood-red characters were written even more upright and impressive.

This time, Lihua appeared in Yingtianfu.

Since the appearance of the big characters of pear blossoms, the stronghold of Yingtianfu's mask has been strictly guarded, with three steps and one post, five steps and one post, and the Ming post is like a forest of hidden cards.

The surrounding area within ten miles of the square garden is under strict surveillance, with no leaks and iron walls, which makes anyone's scalp tingle when they look at it.

but.

"Who is Lihua?" "Is he human?"

"Did the government find us?"

Everyone was discussing quietly, and the heavy atmosphere tightly enveloped this huge compound.

Night falls.

Here, however, the lights are brilliant, the torches are like dragons, and from time to time there are masters parading around, with shining knives, not even a fly can fly in.

Late at night!
A burly man with a red mask, dressed in strong clothes, with his hands folded over his chest, sat on the grand master's chair with a gloomy face.

There were ten people, men, women and children sitting on each side. They all had cold faces and sat solemnly. There was a chilling atmosphere floating over the entire hall.

In the dead of night, suddenly there were a few thundering roars of tigers in the distance, which was soul-stirring.

A small student wearing a white mask suddenly rushed in from the hall door.

As soon as he entered the door, he fell to his knees and reported in a trembling voice:

"Report... Pear Blossom has come in!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the hall changed, and they stood up "whoosh".

Forty pairs of bright eyes were fixed on the big man in the red mask.

The red-masked Xiao Yun's complexion changed suddenly when he heard the sound, his eyes shot brightly, and he asked in a deep voice:
"what happened?"

"Report to Red Mask, as soon as we discovered the enemy's traces, all the brothers on the first line were killed!"

Xiao Yun snorted coldly, stood up "swish", swept his hands, and "swish" pulled out the gleaming black iron rod, and shouted in a deep voice:
"What, the first 30 people are gone? Please report in detail."

"After the roar of the tiger just now, the lanterns in the hands of the first brothers around the outermost layer of the protection base were all extinguished. We sent a message, but there was no response."

"Roar!!"

Everyone's hearts could not help but feel a chill at this moment.

"Here we come!" Everyone's faces gradually turned gray, and the hall immediately fell silent.quiet!

Deadly still!
There is no other sound except heavy breathing!

Xiao Yun thought for a while, suppressed his panic, and said in a deep voice:
"Order the second brothers to withdraw all and go to the hall."

"Yes!"

haven't retreated yet,
Deafening tiger roars passed through the air, the sound was harsh and shocking, shaking the soul.

Then, there were a few more roars of tigers, and there were loud footsteps and gasps near the hall.

In an instant, the hall fell silent again!
"Pear Blossom!!" Someone yelled in a low voice.

An ominous premonition immediately hit everyone's hearts.

Did he come so quickly?

Could it be that all the hundreds of white masks outside have suffered?
impossible!Impossible!

Xiao Yun's complexion changed continuously, and he said calmly:
"Brothers, if the old man's guess is correct, the demons have already invaded our stronghold. It is not a pity for the old man to die, but it is very sad for dragging down the brothers. The old man can only apologize to everyone here."

After finishing speaking, he had a look of frustration and despair.

Suddenly there was a cold snort, and a huge black shadow rushed into the hall.

Horror and gloom, the smell of blood drifted into everyone's noses with the wind.

Horrible and cruel, it is coming.

Everyone held their breath, their faces were pale, and the hands that were holding their weapons tightly fell off in fright.

tiger! !What a big tiger! ! !

A long, cold smile came suddenly!

"By my lord's order, everyone on the list of the mask organization will die!"

On the back of the huge tiger, there was a sound, like a burst of muffled thunder, which made people's ears buzz and hurt.

"Wow! Brothers, do it!"

Before the words fell, the few couldn't bear the heavy pressure of this terrifying air, raised their hands, and the cold stars rained down, and the throwing knives shot towards Lao Wang violently.

At the same time, the weapon in his hand rushed forward.

But Xiao Yun sighed dejectedly, and sat back in the Grand Master's chair.

There was a loud bang, the hidden weapon flew, and the screams suddenly sounded. The three white masks that had been swept up in the air were slapped by the tiger king, blood spurted from the mouth, and fell back to the ground in the hall with a loud bang!
At the moment when everyone is in doubt!

A red shadow volleyed into the hall like lightning.

Following the red shadow, accompanied by the sound of dragon singing, phoenix dancing, wind and thunder, it swept past the heads of the crowd.

"what"

Xiao Yun suddenly sat back in the Grand Master's chair.

A stern scream, this stern and miserable cry, immediately awakened everyone in the hall, and dozens of eyes looked at the center of the hall.

The hereditary aristocrats of the Daliao Dynasty were placed in the fifth rank of the official Yingtian Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Yingtian Mansion distributed red masks. Xiao Yun, whose head was lost, sat stiffly on the Taishi chair.

"Damn you!!" Hua Niang yelled, and flung out the long whip in her hand. When the whip hit the clothes, it immediately burned, and the burned skin was ripped apart.

"Roar!" The tiger king moved his mouth, and the old king moved his hands.

Blood kept dripping from the corner of Tiger King's mouth, his eyes were wide open, and his teeth were grinning.

The broken weapons, reflecting the candlelight, gave off flashes of cold light.

"Thank you, Brother Wang for your help." Hua Niang bowed slightly to Old Wang.

Lao Wang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey your orders."

"Thank you." Hua Niang bowed again.

"Roar." The Tiger King and Lao Wang turned into a white brilliance, which escaped into Huaniang's left wrist.

A tattoo of a spear soldier riding a big tiger appeared on his white skin like jade.

"The next one is Xuzhou. There are two? A total of 78 white masks and 3 red masks."

Candlelight swaying with the breeze, a piece of white rice paper is pressed under the shiny and soft bronze paperweight.

On the octagonal table, there are three people, Zhang Bangchang, Tong Guan, and Wang Fu.

There was wine on the table, but no one raised a glass, and there was food on the table, but no one touched it.

Tong Guan sighed, and finally said: "In that case, let's send someone to do it."

He was trying his best to control himself, his voice was very excited.

"Yes, my lord." Zhang Bangchang nodded, and picked up the bronze paperweight on the table.

Twelve names!
Let's talk about Lin Youde's side.

During this period of time, the four people who were going to take part in the scientific examination stopped their activities, especially Zhao Jinfu who worked the hardest, so he locked himself in the room all the time, doing homework.

As for the other three?hehe.

The three-yearly solution test began, Bianliang became lively, and there were gradually more people of all kinds on the road.

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were originally divided into two types: civil and military. The number of questions in the literary examination was quite large. You needed to test a poem, a poem, and a treatise each, five strategies, ten essays on the Analects of Confucius, and ten essays on the Spring and Autumn Period or the Book of Rites.

Hundreds of candidates from various states entered the venue, and the exam lasted for three days, competing for the rumored top spot.

And at this time.

"Chicken legs! Are you two having a convulsion? Are you really stupid from reading?"

Lin Youde was surprised to see Lin Chong and Wu Song shaking their heads holding the books.

"My lord, it's bright even if it's not bright!"

"The questions of the imperial examination are the same, only the poems and songs are a little bit confusing, and the rest should not be a big problem for me to review and review."

"cut."

He could only quietly stand beside Zhao Jinfu.

"Hehe," Zhao Jinfu fanned his face with a look that he had known for a long time.

"Old Zhao, what should I do? I have never memorized those three-part essays."

"Cold salad." Then Zhao Jinfu walked in with his head up and chest out.
