Chapter 97: Standing Out in the Provincial Examination
On the way back, Liu Wu kept complaining about the few people just now, but Li Shao didn't seem angry.
There is no need to get angry with unnecessary people. He didn't take that little provocation seriously. If someone really pissed him off, he would just kill them directly. It was simple and convenient.
After returning to the inn, the three of them had a simple meal and then went back to their rooms to rest. After all, they had an exam tomorrow.
The provincial military examination is divided into two days, or one and a half days. The first morning is the archery test, which is divided into archery on horseback and archery on foot.
In the afternoon, there is a test of skills and bravery, which includes archery, sword dancing, and stone lifting.
As for the criteria for passing the test, Li Shao didn't care. As long as he did his best, he would pass the test.
The next morning was a policy essay test, which tested some military theories and tactics. Li Shao also bought all the military books of that era and took them home to read, and he did not find them to be difficult.
I slept fairly soundly that night, but I couldn't stop thinking about Ye Ge'er and his two children.
The next morning, I got up early, had breakfast, took my exam badge and dry food, and prepared to take the exam. I also met Sun Zhi and Jiang Rui, and the four of us went together.
When you arrive at the examination room, you take out your exam badge and the person in charge of checking the registration will verify your information one by one, and check your dry food and personal belongings before letting you in.
After entering, they were regrouped into groups of ten, and the four people naturally separated.
The first event of horseback archery began soon. Three targets were placed about thirty steps away from the horse path, and the distance between each target was about fifty steps.
Candidates have to shoot arrows while riding a horse on a horse path that is about 300 steps long. The test is divided into three riding sessions, with three arrows shot each time, for a total of nine arrows. Candidates must hit four arrows to pass.
Li Shao was the third in their group. He was very agile and shot three arrows in rapid succession after mounting his horse. All three arrows hit the bull's eye, making the people behind him unable to think.
Soon it was time for the step-and-shooting session. This time, the candidates only had to stand still and shoot arrows.
First, the target was about eighty steps away and two arrows were shot. Then the distance was changed to fifty steps, and then to thirty steps, each time two arrows were shot, for a total of six arrows. Four arrows were hit to pass.
Li Shao hit the bull's eye again.
After everyone finished the exam, it was time for lunch. During the lunch break, everyone had to rest on the spot and were not allowed to go out or walk around at will. They only ate some dry food they brought with them.
There were officers and soldiers watching nearby, and if you needed to go to the toilet or something like that, you had to ask for permission and be accompanied by two officers and soldiers.
While eating, Li Shao could feel that people around him were looking at him. There was admiration, envy, and jealousy in those eyes, but he pretended not to see them all.
Soon after lunch it was time for the afternoon session of skills competition, which included three events.
The first item is to draw a hard bow, which requires drawing the bow three times. The bows and arrows provided are divided into three levels for candidates to choose from.
Li Shao directly chose the highest-gear bow and easily pulled it to the full length three times, even nearly breaking the bow accidentally.
The second item is sword dancing, which is also divided into three levels. The lowest level is 100 jin, the second level is 120 jin, and the first level is 150 jin.
Candidates are required not only to be able to lift the sword, but also to move it back and forth and produce sword flowers in order to pass.
The third item is to lift a large stone, a rectangular stone with holes on both sides for grabbing. It is also divided into three levels: 200 jin, 250 jin, and 300 jin.
The candidate is required to lift the stone to at least chest height and expose the bottom of the stone to be considered successful.
Whether it was a big knife or a big stone, Li Shao chose the highest gear. The knife and the stone seemed to have no weight at all in his hands, and he could manipulate them at will.
The candidates and invigilators around were stunned, and there were unconscious exclamations and whispers at the scene.
"Oh my god, who is this? He's so strong!"
"He shouldn't be a local. When I was reading his name earlier, I seemed to hear his name as Li Shao or something."
"Li Shao? How come I haven't heard of such a great man?! He is the best candidate for the first place in the provincial examination."
"I think so too. Mr. Zheng is going to be embarrassed now. His followers have been saying that he will definitely get the first place in the exam."
"Shut up! Do you think you can criticize Master Zheng? His father is the Minister of Personnel!"
"What's wrong with the Minister of Personnel? Why don't you allow people to speak..." He muttered like this, but the person who spoke quickly shut his mouth, fearing that it would get out and Master Zheng would cause trouble for him.
Seeing the chaos below, the invigilator quickly shouted: "Silence, silence! This is an examination room, how can you whisper to each other!"
The crowd immediately quieted down. The chief examiner whispered a few words to the deputy examiner next to him, then looked at Li Shao with admiration in his eyes and nodded at him. Li Shao also responded politely.
By the time the exam was over and the candidates came out, Li Shao's name had become known.
Almost every candidate knows that there is a tough guy named Li Shao. Looking at the situation, it is a foregone conclusion that he will pass the exam and become a juren, although there is another policy essay test tomorrow.
However, the military examination is more focused on martial arts prowess. Based on Li Shao's performance today, the examiner will let him pass even if he writes a terrible essay tomorrow.
Shen An, who was waiting outside, also heard the discussions of the candidates around him. He was extremely happy. When he saw Li Shao, he hurried forward and said, "Boss, you are out! Congratulations, Boss, you will definitely have no problem in this provincial examination!"
Li Shao said: "Hmm? You know everything?"
"Boss, these candidates are talking about you now. I heard everything from the side. Let's go back quickly."
"You must be exhausted after this day. I have asked the innkeeper to prepare a table of delicious food and bath water."
After Shen An said this, Li Shao really felt hungry. He ate some tasteless steamed buns at noon. "Okay, let's go."
As for the other three people, they had agreed before that after the exam they would not need to wait for each other and could go back to the inn directly.
When Li Shao and the other two returned to the inn, the other three had already returned and had long heard of his prestige in the examination hall.
Liu Wu congratulated him sincerely and praised him repeatedly, his tone full of admiration.
It was not difficult to see that the other two were obviously full of jealousy, but they still forced themselves to smile and congratulate him, and there was sourness in their words.
But Li Shao didn't care. Whether they were envious or jealous, it would not affect him. At the beginning, they were just passers-by in the same business as each other, and now it seemed that there was no need to continue to interact with them in the future.
Liu Wu's character was quite good, so Li Shao invited him into the house for dinner.
After Liu Wu declined for a while, he finally agreed. Together with Shen An, the three of them dispersed after dinner. They did not drink any alcohol, after all, they had a policy paper tomorrow.
Zheng Qian naturally also heard the news about Li Shao and thought that he was indeed a strong enemy.
Now the rumor is that Li Shao will definitely get the first place in the provincial examination. How can he tolerate this, as he thinks the first place is already in his pocket?
He wanted to send someone to cause trouble for Li Shao so that he could not attend the policy discussion tomorrow.
But the men around him were all sent by his father. They knew that the master was an upright person and hated this kind of behind-the-scenes dealings the most, so they refused to agree to his request.
Zheng Qian was so angry that he smashed a lot of things. Apart from these subordinates, he had no one else available.
Those followers are only good at talking, and their physical skills are not as good as his. If he points at them, they will be caught by Li Shao before they do anything bad.
He specially returned to his hometown to take part in the martial arts examination this time just to prove himself to his father, but it turned out like this. Now he can only feel helpless and furious.
