Shi Yunqi was called out and could no longer hide. He straightened his robes and stood up.

But he was still wearing the blue robe with white edges of the academy uniform, his hair was tied up and he wore a crown, he was tall and slender, and he exuded the gentle and elegant air of a scholar from inside to outside.

It's just that life is comfortable. He has grown taller and his face has become rounder. He looks more handsome and brighter.

Shi Yunqi stood in his position, turned around, smiled and bowed to everyone in the stands, then stretched out his hands and pressed them down.

The entire venue suddenly became solemn and quiet.

Shi Yunqi then turned around and bowed to Lord Meng again, "Lord Meng, please."

Lord Meng's expression gradually eased, and he felt a little sorry that Shi Yunqi got married so early. He also had a daughter at home who was very fond of flowers all day long and would go to a bookstore to hang out when she had nothing to do.

At first he thought his daughter was reading a book, but it turned out that she was just walking in the fresh air. When Lord Meng learned the truth, his face turned black.

Now, he could finally speak loudly.

Wei Pingting, who was carried into the venue by her sister, looked at her brother-in-law with infinite admiration. She pulled her brother-in-law's sleeve with her little hand and whispered, "Wow, brother-in-law is so awesome! This is Pingpingtingting's dear brother-in-law."

After Shi Yunqi sat down, he took Xiao Pingting from Wei Cailing and put her on his lap. He pinched her nose lovingly and said, "Shh, listen to the uncle on the stage. Xiao Pingting, don't make any noise."

Wei Pingting's eyes were dark and bright. She put her finger to her lips, shrank her head and made a "hush" gesture.

Wei Cailing smiled and looked sideways at her husband, then she couldn't look away.

Her husband was as gentle as jade, very gentle when he wasn't smiling. But when he smiled, he was as bright as the sun, dazzling and scorching.

Someone in the back saw the two people smiling at each other and wanted to spread out the drawing paper on the spot and draw what he saw.

Even Yu Sujun felt the urge to start writing. She side-glanced at her excited son and silently said to herself, "It will be fine when he grows up, it will be fine when he grows up. When he grows up, he will be as handsome as his brother Yunqi."

Zheng Qiao'er, however, was staring at her son who was waiting in the backstage the whole time. "That bastard Tang Xinghe is like a monkey. He can't even behave himself even when he's waiting in the backstage. Look, he took advantage of someone's unpreparedness to hit him with a hammer again. He's running away and I'm chasing him... Oh my God, those officials from the Ministry of War have their eyes on him! How many times has the East Feather Guard warned him? Ahhh! He won't be kicked out directly!"

Tang Chujun patted Zheng Qiaoer on the shoulder and consoled her, "It's about to start, don't be afraid! Xinghe knows the importance of this."

"He knows nothing!" Zheng Qiao'er gnashed her teeth and reached out to pull Shi Anxia, ​​"Hurry up and get your husband to suppress this stupid monkey with his firepower!"

Shi Anxia smiled, "Aunt, cousin Xinghe is very relaxed and will definitely do well in the exam. Look, those who stood straight have trembling legs and look unhappy. Only cousin Xinghe, Ma Chuyang, and Huo Siwu are laughing and playing, which shows that they are confident and there is no need to worry."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lord Meng, who was giving a speech, criticize them by name, "Students who chased and fought over there will each be deducted one point as a warning; if they do it again, they will be directly dismissed."

Shi Anxia: "..."

Where is my husband? Why doesn't he take care of these?

Zheng Qiaoer: “…”

Where's my nephew's husband? Why don't you just beat the bastard up for me?

Cen Yuan, who had just returned to the examination room after going out to see Xiying Wei Longjiang for some work: "..."

Tang Xinghe, that idiot, ignored what I just said again? I am so tired!

Tang Xinghe and the others finally behaved themselves. They were deducted one point before the test, setting a historical record.

Tang Xinghe lowered his head and smiled, "Hey! No matter what the record is, it's a record anyway! And it has to be me! Awesome!"

Ma Chuyang lowered his head and laughed, "My brother! No wonder you are my brother! Even the deductions make you feel happy!"

Huo Siwu lowered his head and laughed, "Shut up, shut up, don't talk! My cousin's husband is coming! He's walking towards us, he's here to punish us!"

Cen Yuan walked over with a glare and gave a death order, "You three! Get the remaining nine points! Otherwise, you don't have to take the next exam."

"Yes! Cousin-in-law!" The three of them answered with lowered eyebrows.

But my cousin's husband was thinking that maybe it was a good idea to deduct this point, after all, during training, these three could rarely lift a 300-pound stone load.

After Lord Meng finished his speech, the weightlifting test officially began.

The weightlifting test consists of two parts: lifting a stone load and carrying rice. This is a real test of the candidate's strength and endurance.

Lifting a stone load actually evolved from Qiaoguan.

The so-called "lifting the gate" means lifting the gate bolt used to close the city gate.

There is a reason why military generals are tested on this. According to legend, there was a general who was born with supernatural powers. During a battle with an enemy country, he accidentally fell into an enemy trap.

After a large number of soldiers rushed into the city gate, the general discovered that the enemy wanted to close the city gate and attempted to surround and annihilate them.

At the critical moment, the general used his hands to prop up the thousand-pound hanging door and ordered the soldiers to retreat immediately, thus avoiding heavy casualties.

Later, when the Northern Wing had a military examination, Qiaoguan became a compulsory subject.

Today, the practice of climbing up the pass has been replaced by lifting stone burdens.

Each has a different score, the heavier the score, the higher the score.

There are three types in total: lifting a 200-jin stone load gets one point; lifting a 250-jin stone load gets two points; and lifting a 300-jin stone load gets three points.

There are a total of twelve square formations for reference, with exactly three teams in each examination room.

The order of the examinations was decided by drawing lots, with Yunqi Academy taking the exam first, followed by Beiming Academy, and finally the individual candidates.

The examiner gave an order... before he shouted "start", a team of six Western Shadow Guards wearing official uniforms and black masks came on stage and raised their hands to signal him to stop.

The examiner hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why did Master Shadow Guard come here?"

Long Jiang only showed two piercing eyes, "Xiyingwei is handling the case and requires that all the stone loads on the field be sealed."

The examiner was stunned and his palms were full of sweat.

This, this, this! We will miss the auspicious time!

If you miss a moment, you will miss all the moments.

He was at a loss for what to do.

The examiners from the Ministry of War all stood up from their seats, with angry looks on their faces.

Zheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, came out with a calm face and said, "The imperial examination is solemn and sacred. We will discuss everything after the examination is over."

He was in a bad mood to begin with, and ever since the civil examinations began to get "hot from time to time", he had repeatedly petitioned to close the military examinations so that people could watch the competitions.

However, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue went crazy. Not only did they support the people buying tickets to watch the game, they also expanded the number of seats for the audience.

Just now, a student who didn't even participate in the palace examination suppressed the momentum on the field with a gesture. On the other hand, the officials of the Ministry of War were unable to control the situation at all.

This made him extremely angry.

Now even the Western Shadow Guards want to interfere in the affairs of their Ministry of War. This is simply outrageous!

Long Jiang said coldly, "I have received a report that there is something wrong with the examination equipment on the field. If the problem is found, will Lord Zheng take full responsibility?"

Mr. Zheng: “!!!”

He angrily... returned to his seat. He didn't want to talk anymore. Why should he be held responsible for everything?

Longjiang ordered his men to seal up all the stone loads used for the examination on site, and ordered people to accompany officials from the Ministry of War to the Imperial Examination Hall warehouse to get spare equipment.

At the same time, the imperial physicians headed by Doctor Shen from the Imperial Medical Service also entered the venue to prepare to inspect the examination equipment on site.

Cen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes met Long Jiang's.

That’s right, it was Cen Yuan who reported that there was something wrong with the equipment.
