After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

When Er Gouzi heard that I was going to go, he immediately said, "I'm not lying to you. It's very interesting. There are people wielding swords, dancing with spears, breaking rocks with their chests, splitting bricks with their hands, and everything in between. You can see that I even gave up my work to watch these people perform. Now you can see how interesting it is, right?"

I patted Er Gouzi on the shoulder and said, "Since you are so happy to see me, I will give you a fat roast chicken as a reward."

When Er Gouzi heard this, he said happily, "Thank you, Ah Man."

The Imperial Palace is at the eastern end of Chang'an Avenue, and the Military Academy is at the western end of Chang'an Avenue.

The Wuxue Hall of Dayu State is said to be a top-notch academy built by the royal family at great expense to cultivate martial arts talents. No matter rich or poor, as long as you have a little martial arts foundation and love martial arts, you can sign up for the entrance examination.

Once admitted, you may become the future top martial arts champion, third place martial arts champion, or second place martial arts champion. At that time, you will have the opportunity to enter the royal unit, eat royal food, and receive royal salary. One person's hard work will bring happiness to the whole family.

Too far away...

The journey is not far. According to Ergouzi and Yiping's walking speed, it will only take about twenty minutes.

But I am as fat as a pig, and I have to gasp for breath after every step I take. If I were to walk for more than 20 minutes, it would undoubtedly be the end of me.

In addition, I had just recovered from a serious injury, and I felt dizzy and gasping for breath after walking a few steps.

It wasn't a good idea to walk there, so I decided to take a taxi.

In ancient times, there were two types of vehicles that carried people: ox carts and horse carts.

However, for the sake of a beautiful city appearance, the emperor did not allow ox-carts to enter the imperial city, so people could only ride in horse-drawn carriages.

There were many horse-drawn carriages carrying passengers, but when the driver saw my body that was as big as three, he refused to take me.

In the end, I had no choice but to pay three times the price before I could find a coachman who would let me get on his bike.

The carriage was really simple. An old horse pulled a crudely made carriage covered with a layer of waterproof tarpaulin, without even a window.

I struggled hard and finally squeezed into the carriage.

No wonder the drivers didn't dare to take me. When I got on the bus, the wheels almost buckled, and I only took up two-thirds of the entire compartment. Fortunately, Yiping and Ergou were thin and small, so they managed to squeeze in.

It’s great to take a horse carriage. A journey of twenty minutes only takes a few minutes.

Naturally, it took a lot of effort to get off the car, and Yiping and Ergouzi had to pull me down hard.

As soon as I got off the car, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.

The two red gates of the martial arts academy are magnificent, and the blue brick walls that are taller than two people stretch as far as the eye can see! There are two huge stone lions standing at the gate, so majestic that one glance at them will make people feel terrified.

A huge plaque stands horizontally in the center above the vermilion gate, with five large characters "Royal Martial Arts School" inscribed on it. The font is majestic and majestic, giving a feeling of a flying dragon in the sky.

I exclaimed in admiration: "This is much more impressive than Tsinghua University and Peking University."

Fortunately, Yiping and Ergou were too excited to hear what I said, otherwise I would have to spend a lot of time explaining.

There were already several long queues in the square at the gate, with at least a thousand people!

The team was surrounded by a row of soldiers holding spears, looking solemn and dignified!

There were five sets of tables and chairs placed in a row in the middle of the square, which was obviously the position for the examiners.

On one side of the square, there were many weapons placed, including stone locks, knives, forks, swords, halberds, spears, bows and arrows, etc.

Looking at this situation, it’s not easy to get into a martial arts school.

Er Gouzi pulled me and pointed to the center of the square surrounded by soldiers, saying, "Hurry, hurry, let's find a good spot now while there aren't many people watching. If there are too many people later, we won't be able to get in."

I looked at my body and found that it was wider than two soldiers. Damn it, this is not called drilling, this is called bumping.

So I said, "You guys go ahead and do it. I feel dizzy and it's better to stand."

When Ergouzi and Yiping heard this, they squeezed in through the gap between the soldiers without saying a word.

It was unexpected that they became allies after only spending a few minutes on the same horse.

Looking at Yiping who was holding Ergouzi's sleeve tightly, I couldn't help but sigh: He doesn't even mind the dirt!

This kind of entrance examination is only held for one hour a day for fifteen consecutive days. The admission results will be announced on the spot after the examination. Therefore, those who cannot get a turn within this hour can only queue up again the next day.

More and more people came to watch, and some even brought stools over.

Soon, the square was surrounded tightly, and even children of Yiping's age were sitting in a circle around the officers and soldiers.

There were very few entertainment activities in ancient times, and watching a show cost money. The national martial arts performance was rare once a year, and many people were like Ergouzi, who would skip work and go directly to watch the performance.

My purpose was not to watch the performance, but to see Zheng Yan. However, as the crown prince, a key protected person of the royal family, he would not necessarily appear in such a messy place.

I was squeezed by people, sweating all over, feeling dizzy and regretting showing up here.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before the five examiners made their grand appearance.

These five examiners looked unexpectedly young. Among them was a very handsome young man, who was armed and looked heroic. He was estimated to be around 20 years old at most.

Seeing a handsome guy on stage, I immediately perked up, no longer felt dizzy, and my head was no longer heavy. I even raised my hands and shouted like the person next to me: "The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"

Although I don't know who the general is, it's like going to a concert. Everyone is shouting, and if you don't shout, you will seem like the odd one out.

I'm not an outsider, so of course I have to shout along.

I have never seen this competition on TV, so I don’t know who this handsome guy is.

I don’t know if it’s because I traveled through time, but some of the plot developments have gradually become different from what they were on TV.

For example, Zhao Shengping would never show up in such an occasion, let alone come all the way to see the handsome guy.

But never mind. I am me and Zhao Shengping is Zhao Shengping. Just be happy.

After the five examiners sat down, the examiner held a thick booklet and called out the names: "Zhang Yan, from Xinzhu Township, Jincheng, 15 years old, performance category: lifting stone locks; Li Yi, 13 years old, performance category: spear..."

The examiner selected a total of ten people to join the circle. These ten people were not very old, generally around 14 or 15 years old. The performances were also different, some were short swords, some were long spears, and Zhang Yan performed a stone lock.

Each of the stone locks weighed no less than fifty kilograms, yet this fifteen-year-old boy lifted them up so easily that I couldn't help but cheer for him loudly.

The other nine also performed well, especially Li Yi, who wielded the spear, with great vigor and won applause from the whole audience.

Er Gouzi was right. The entrance examination of this martial arts school was really interesting. I forgot the time and also forgot to chase my idol and watch Emperor Zheng Xian.

Until the end of the exam, I was still feeling unsatisfied and stood there unwilling to leave.
