Today is also the day I was attacked by the little lord

"what happened to you?"

Su Xun had such a serious and indifferent expression on his face, Shen Ning, whom Duan Yunyang had never seen before, felt worried, and couldn't help asking questions.

"It's okay... It's just that I finally understood the reason why Pan Gu resolutely quit Xuanxiao Pavilion in the first place."

The pale crimson lips outlined a bitter arc, Su Xun gently closed his eyes, and let out a sigh:

"How can there be so many people in the world who have retired after success? When Pangu left the stage sadly, in the final analysis, it is inseparable from Tianwu and others to eliminate dissidents... Looking at the present, if he is still in the conference, Xuanxiao Pavilion may not be able to do so. It deviated from the original intention when it was established, and became what it is now."

Closing his eyes, he seemed to vaguely see that person with a swallow-like figure, holding a sword flower casually, with an elegant and graceful posture.

For him, the existence of Pan Gu did have a special meaning.

When he was a child, he was confined in the mansion for a long time, burying his head in the pile of old papers all day long, not knowing what the outside world was like. One day, that person suddenly fell from the sky, and he couldn't help but carry him over the high wall of the Prime Minister's mansion, and climbed to the top of the eaves.

Because of this, he was able to glimpse the moonlight that night, which was clear and clear.

"Pangu..."

Duan Yunyang frowned and recalled that, as far as he knew, Pangu was one of the direct disciples of the founder of Xuanxiao Pavilion, and it was through his advocacy that the members of Xuanxiao Pavilion gradually began to carry out tasks under the code name of the ancient gods, making various decisions. The process gradually took shape.

Laying an important foundation for the development of Xuan Xiao Pavilion, this person can be said to have worked hard, but a few years ago he suddenly resigned and left.No one knows the reason, the news from the outside world is only that he was ordered to transfer the power of Xuanxiao Pavilion to Tian Wu and others, and since then it has been hard to find.

When he joined Xuanxiao Pavilion with Pei Shu and Ling Ke, apart from consolidating the defense of the whole country and looking for opportunities to practice, one of the goals was to make friends with capable people and strangers.Duan Zhiyuan had mentioned this person to him in his early years, but it happened that not long after he joined Xuan Xiao Pavilion, Pan Gu disappeared, which became an irreparable regret.

"Forget it, the past can't be admonished. Talking about it is useless. It's better to plan for the future." Su Xun opened his shiny eyes and said seriously, "If the first palace test goes well, we can not only see the 'Holy Face', There is also a chance to stay in the palace. At that time, we can take the opportunity to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and other places to start investigating the secret transaction between Xuanxiao Pavilion and the imperial court. If we can confirm the confusion in our hearts, it will be convenient for the next step."

"It's reasonable. Back then you and Shaohao went deep into the palace and failed to succeed. I'm afraid the defense of the palace guards has already been greatly strengthened. And now it's time for the autumn test, the royal family will naturally be more wary of people with ulterior motives. If you act rashly , I’m afraid that if one is not careful, even I will lose it.”

Duan Yunyang took this very seriously, and at the end he curled his lips as if he was unwilling, and snorted coldly: "But if Emperor Liang is let go so easily, I will feel very sorry. You can't hurt your bones, and don't teach him to be safe."

Su Xun's frowning and reproachful expression was really cute in Su Xun's eyes, and he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, revealing a soft smile that melted away.

Taking advantage of the situation, he straightened Duan Yunyang's clothes, pondered for a moment, and then said in a gentle voice:

"You and I have worked so hard to enter the palace this time, so of course we can't return empty-handed, but the specific matters of entering the palace can only be decided after discussing with Zhiheng and Mr. Yuan. Besides... what happened in Miaozhu Tower earlier The weird situation and the group of unidentified men in black always make me feel uneasy. Although you and I are safe at this time, we don’t know if there are still enemies secretly watching in the dark, so we must be more careful.”

"Well, I promise you it is."

He raised his palm to caress his chest, feeling the distinct tactile sensation of concentric knots under the thin fabric.Duan Yunyang frowned in his heart, the smile on his face was also bright and dazzling, and he nodded happily to Su Xun.

With the promotion of the elimination system in full swing, as of the ninth day of the autumn test, there were only a hundred candidates left from the original thousands of candidates.

Combined with the results of the next day's written test, the list of the top [-] candidates is ready to come out.

"Dang bang."

The wooden spear swept across and knocked down the opponent's long stick. Xu Pingzhi turned around lightly, and the body of the gun flew in his palm, and a series of afterimages swept out, hitting the key point on the back of the opponent's neck with unrivaled precision.The man didn't even have time to let out a muffled groan, and he collapsed on the ground unconscious, and the dust of the competition was finally settled.

Although he won the match, his complexion was not very good. After stepping back from the ring, he hurried into a side alley, leaning against the low wall and coughing violently.

The scale of the autumn test is unprecedented, even though the "seed" will be taken care of as much as possible, he has more than ten consecutive competitions in the past nine days.Melee combat was not his specialty, and the injuries he had suffered a few days ago hadn't healed, so it was hard to resist. Although he won by a narrow margin, he still suffered a lot of internal injuries, and it may be difficult to recover in a short time.

Raising his hand to wipe away the trace of dark red overflowing from his mouth, he took a deep breath, trying to calm down the annoyance surging in his chest, and then supported the wall with one hand, and staggered forward.

It's not in vain for me to take such painstaking efforts, presumably tomorrow, everything will be clear.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened, and the gorgeous sunset was swallowed by the rolling clouds. As night fell, it was dark and deep, silent and empty for several hours.

The venue for the martial arts assessment was set at Tongwen Guild Hall in the city, and the list of the top [-] winners in the competition had already been posted at a conspicuous landmark in Langjing City.Officials from the Ministry of Officials came to the guild hall early in the morning to set up examination seats, and sealed files were displayed on every table.

When the summons sounded at Maoshi, the candidates lined up in a single file and entered the venue one by one with their identity documents.The literary examination starts on time at [-]:[-] pm, and those who fail to meet the deadline will be deemed to have given up their qualifications. Therefore, although there is still plenty of time, candidates still appear to be in a hurry, fearing that they will miss the opportunity of the examination.

In order to avoid suspicion, Su Xun and Duan Yunyang deliberately separated several people and lined up in the entrance line, waiting for the examination to be completed and then to enter the examination seat.

In the previous martial arts test, the two deliberately restrained their strength, so they were not particularly outstanding in the details of martial arts scores. The officials of the official department did not pay too much attention to them, and simply confirmed their identities, and then let the two enter the arena.

The examination room was set up in the hall on the second floor of the Tongwen Guild Hall. There were fifty tables in total, divided into five columns and ten rows.

Su Xun found a seat in the second row and third row, looked up, and saw a very familiar figure in the front left, it was Xu Pingzhi.

Different from the calm and calm feeling when they met for the first time, although Xu Pingzhi is sitting upright now, his breath is quite hurried and disordered, and his complexion also looks pale and haggard.

Su Xun frowned and thought carefully. According to what he knew, although Xu Pingzhi's martial arts was light and not brave enough, it was not difficult to obtain the qualification for the literary examination. In addition to his status as a "seed", it should not be such a situation.

At this moment, he clearly knew that his internal organs were damaged, and his qi and blood were deficient, so who would be the one who could hurt him?

After all the candidates were seated, the invigilator closed the door tightly and ordered everyone to unseal the files.

Su Xun took out the paper from the envelope, and saw that there was a thick stack full of border sketches in his hand. Although the place names were drafted in the volume, the division of mountains and rivers was the same as the actual situation. After careful identification, it was the whole border map of the Liang Kingdom. As well as the countries bordering it in the Western Regions and the North.

There are three major questions in the martial arts volume, all of which are based on the territory pattern, and are intended to test the candidates' ability to deploy troops and adapt to changes.

The first question assesses the border defense layout, which is quite common, but from the second question onwards, the content involved in the stem is very tense. It not only requires candidates to use the terrain to launch a surprise attack, but also covers a series of raids, military sources, food and grass supply, etc. matters, and the territory map used as the basis is no different from the actual situation on the border of Liang State——

Rather than saying that this is just a military strategy test question, it is more appropriate to regard it as a collection of military tactics laid out before the battle.

Emperor Liang's ambition to expand his military equipment was clearly revealed.

Mo's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and Su Xun felt worried. Looking at the current situation, Qi was the most powerful of Liang's neighbors, and its border was just included in the topic, which obviously moved the mind of raising troops.Such a blatant disregard for the truce covenant, I am afraid that the appearance of peace that has lasted for more than a hundred years will inevitably be in jeopardy soon.

... I don't know what Duan Yunyang will think when he sees this question.

The martial arts exam in this room is in full swing, and beside the corner gate of Liang Kingdom's palace in that room, a black-robed figure is walking quickly along the long corridor towards the palace.

This person covered his face tightly, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.Repeatedly confirming that no one was following him, he exerted force on his feet, and his figure flew like lightning, leaving behind a series of afterimages, which disappeared into the depths of the palace in a blink of an eye.

Almost at the same time when his figure disappeared, two figures appeared from behind the palace wall, one of them seemed a little hesitant, and said in a forced voice: "Senior Yingzhao, is it inappropriate for us to follow secretly?"

"Lu Wu, do you know that the most taboo thing to do in the pavilion is to hesitate before the battle."

The tone of the man called Yingzhao was full of anger, and his voice was even more dull:

"Since you and I noticed the difference in Jumang's whereabouts a few days ago, the workload on us has suddenly increased, and the chances of meeting colleagues in the cabinet have decreased a lot. In this way, it is impossible to feed back the information upwards. It is very difficult to meet tonight. When Master Tianwu travels secretly, something unusual happens, if we don't investigate thoroughly at this time, how long will we wait?"

After being provoked by his words, Lu Wu couldn't help sinking his heart to ponder secretly, thinking that if he was indecisive at this moment, the matter would be revealed in the future, and there would be no chance of turning back, so he simply gritted his teeth and continued to pursue Tianwu's trace.

Naturally, Tian Wu was completely unaware of the quarrel between the two.Jumping up and down several times to avoid the eyes and ears of the palace, he looked around for a week, restrained his lightness and landed in front of the vermilion door, and stepped in.

The plaque on the door is magnificent, and it is undoubtedly the three characters "Hall of Mental Cultivation".
