Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

Even though he was prepared in his heart, the journey to Pingqi City was more difficult than An Rubao imagined.

In his last life, he was used to trains and cars. After coming here, he has only been to Yuxing City as far as he can so far. Sitting in a bumpy carriage for two or three hours a day is already unbearable. This journey to Pingqi In the city, most of the day is spent in a carriage, and the pain can be imagined.

The only fortunate thing is that An Chengyou, who was originally thought to be boring, is unexpectedly not a boring companion. The two of them often sit together and chat. Not too much to say, the chat was very speculative, An Chengyou usually looks gentle and elegant, but his temper is particularly stubborn, sometimes arguing with An Rubao, he can even get angry, but let An Rubao treat him otherwise. They looked at each other for three minutes.

The three carriages speeding along the official road must be quite conspicuous on weekdays. After all, there are not many pedestrians on the official road from Anping Town to Pingqi City. They are students for reference, the provincial examination is held every three years, and the students who go to the state capital every time are like crucian carp crossing the river. When it comes to them, they set up ambushes in inaccessible places, and only rob students who are alone or with a small number of students. Every year, we can hear news of several students being robbed, and some even lose their names because of this. Over time, the students are all in groups. As for the line, there are as few as four or five people, as many as a dozen people, some exaggerated, there can be five or six carriages, it is not surprising that they are mixed in.

Because they got up early, they were not in a hurry on this journey. They would always find a place to stay before the sun went down to ensure safety, and would rather walk for a few more days. Even so, they encountered an accident on the way.

To put it in detail, they can be regarded as a disaster in this matter.When I was walking to the junction of Suyang County and Changning County that day, I happened to encounter a group of students who were robbed. There were about twenty thieves, all of whom had sticks, knives and axes in their hands. The man was about thirty years old, tall and burly, with a long scar hanging obliquely on his square face, which made him look a bit more murderous.

There could be eight or nine students in this group, sitting in three carriages, led by an old master, the students were frightened and huddled together, the old master stood in front of the students with his arms outstretched, speaking righteously and that head-start theory.

The leader looked impatient, and said with a baw, "Stop talking nonsense, and leave the money to me obediently, and I will spare you!" As soon as the leader saw this, he waved his hand, and behind him several people raised their weapons and rushed towards the students, trying to grab them by hand.

At this moment, An Rubao and their three carriages approached.Everyone is a student, seeing this scene can't help but feel sorry for, An Rubao hasn't moved yet, An Chengyou on the other side has already ordered a few guards to go forward to help.Those guards were also young and energetic, and they went up to fight the gangsters without saying a word.

The skills of the four guards were mediocre, coupled with the small number of people, they were no match for two fists and four hands. An Rubao sighed secretly and had to ask Xing Shan to help.Xing Shan was also unambiguous, and rushed up with a whip. He was good at kung fu and full of strength. He played vigorously with a whip. The yelling continued, and after a few blows, the situation on the court changed immediately.

Seeing that his subordinates suffered a disadvantage, the leader hurriedly asked others to go up together, rubbed his body and went straight to Xingshan.When Xing Shan and him started fighting together, they knew that the other party was also a practicer, but it was a pity that their foundation was not stable, and it was okay to deal with others, but it was not good enough in front of him, so he put more force on his hands, and within twenty moves, he was able to kill him Stepped on the foot.

The leader was captured, and his subordinates were in a mess. Xing Shan didn't talk nonsense to them, but only said to the leader: "If you want to live, take them and get out immediately."

The person at the head knew that he had encountered a hard stubble today, although it would be embarrassing to be trampled under his feet in front of his subordinates, but in the end, saving his life is the most important thing, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed, Xing Shan was not afraid of him playing tricks, and moved away The one at the head was not lightly cleaned up, barely stood up, cupped his fists at Xing Shan, and led the people away quickly with the support of his subordinates.

After they disappeared from sight, one of the previous students suddenly stood up, pointed at Xing Shan and said plausibly, "Why did you let them go? They are all desperadoes. They are leaving now. Wait for you!" After leaving here, don’t you want to come back and continue to rob?! What is the difference between what you did and letting the tiger go back to the mountain?!”

There are so many robbers, they can only help five people, and it is good enough to drive them away, how can they detain everyone? !It was the first time Xing Shan saw such a person who was unclear and didn't know what was good or bad, and he couldn't help but give him a cold look and didn't speak, but the old master pulled the student, saluted Xing Shan and a few guards, and said : "Thank you for your life-saving grace." Xing Shan waved his hand, turned around and left, and the guards followed behind him.

The student who was speaking was blocked by his master, and he was feeling annoyed, seeing his master's nice words, but those people ignored them, and suddenly got angry from the side of his guts, and said loudly: "But They are just a few ignorant and rude fools, why should Master be polite to them?!" A few people beside him were as angry as him.

The master's complexion darkened, and he shouted: "Shut up! You have received the favor of dripping water from others, and you should repay it with a spring. Without the help of these few people, it is not certain whether you can stand here. It is useless for you to claim to be a guaranteed student." The books of sages don’t say they are grateful, but they speak evil words, they are so ignorant and ungrateful, what is the difference from villains, is this what your master taught you?!” In Jingguo, scholars have always been highly regarded. Highly respected, the status is very high, which makes scholars feel superior to others, and it's fine on weekdays, but today they still have such an attitude after being greatly favored by others, the old master was angry and ashamed, and his face flushed red.

An Rubao and his carriage were not far away from the crowd. These people spoke in a low voice, and they could hear their conversation clearly. An Chengyou's expression changed immediately. An Rubao sneered, and he lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage , stood on the shaft of the car and cupped his hands at them, and said loudly: "An Rubao, a student from Qingshan Village, Xia'anping Town, greets everyone."

The old master was still ashamed of himself, the students were still in shock and at a loss, when they heard An Rubao's voice, they all subconsciously looked over at him, seeing that it was a man with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, they all returned to politeness , Dare not even dare to speak, and said in unison: "Brother An invites you."

An Rubao nodded, pointed at Xing Shan and the four guards, and said: "These guards are all hired by me to protect the safety of the road, but just now I did it without asking you. Please forgive me." He spoke a few words in a leisurely manner, and he didn't seem to appease his anger, but it was really a needle hidden in the cotton, and the faces of a few students with ulterior motives suddenly turned red and white, which was very exciting.After An Rubao finished speaking, he threw his sleeves into the carriage regardless of what others said.Xing Shan sat on the shaft of the chariot, and several guards also got into their respective carriages, and with a flick of the whip, the carriage rumbled past these people.

The old master had seen the abilities of Xingshan and the others, and when he saw An Rubao coming out, he knew that this one had the final say. He wanted to ask to go with him, so that he could be protected for the rest of the journey, so he heard the words and went again. Even the thick skin can't speak.He had no choice but to stare at those students a few times, beckoning everyone to get on the carriage, and trailed behind An Rubao and the others far away.

An Rubao didn't pay any attention to it, and followed him whenever he wanted, and they only cared about themselves when things went wrong, one time was enough for thankless things.

With the lessons learned from the past, An Rubao and the others became more careful. Fortunately, the rest of the road was relatively smooth, and everyone entered Pingqi City safely after a few days.

As the state capital of Lianzhou, Pingqi City is needless to say how prosperous it is. The wide main street running from east to west can accommodate four carriages in parallel. There are many shops on both sides, and there are endless streams of pedestrians. Very lively.

Both An Rubao and An Chengyou came to Pingqi City for the first time, and they were not familiar with everything, not to mention the rest of Xingshan, their eyes were smeared when they entered the city, and the inn alone was enough to find them. After two hours, they managed to book five rooms in a good inn not far from the examination room. This was because they came early, and if they were two days late, it would be even more difficult to find.

The few students who had been following them, including the old master, wanted to get close to them more than once halfway, but An Rubao and An Chengyou avoided them lukewarmly. I have been to Pingqi City several times, and I am experienced, but I want to remind them, but they didn't give them a chance at all, so they had to give up, and parted ways with them when they entered the city.

It was half a month before they came to the exam, and they spent six or seven days on the road, so they only had seven or eight days to prepare.After finding a place to live, everyone had a meal and had a good rest for the day. From the next day, An Rubao and An Chengyou went to various restaurants and teahouses to exchange exams with other students while reviewing their books. Experience and insights, life is extremely fulfilling.

The days slipped by like water in the tense and busy, and suddenly it was the exam period.

In his previous life, An Rubao knew a little bit about ancient scientific examinations through TV, but after a series of body searches, he was still a little dumbfounded when he arrived at the examination room. Not to mention the cramped small partition where it was exhausting to turn around, he spent three days eating and drinking He couldn't accept it in this partition. After the three-day exam was over, he left the exam room in a daze. The first thing he did when he returned to the inn was to rush into the bathroom. After washing for nearly an hour, he felt that his body was gone. The strange smell in the examination room.

An Chengyou was not much better than him. In just three days, he had lost four or five catties. He was limp when he walked. He also soaked in the bathroom for half a day. I fell asleep hard on the bed.

After the exam, it takes a few days to release the results. The days of waiting for the results are always extremely long and worrying. Candidates often gather in restaurants and teahouses to talk about poetry and poetry to relieve pressure.As An Rubao and An Chengyou rarely came to the state capital and had nothing to do, they took Xing Shan and the others for a stroll in the city, bought a lot of things, and were very leisurely.

On the day when the list was released, as expected, both An Rubao and An Chengyou were on the list. An Chengyou won No.6, and An Rubao even ranked No.3 unexpectedly. It was Xing Shan who managed to squeeze into the crowd in front of the notice board outside the examination room. When he came out with a blank face, An Rubao and An Chengyou's heart skipped a beat. It was only later that they realized that he was too excited.

The inn where An Rubao and An Chengyou stayed was close to the examination room, so it was full of candidates these few days.Some wept with joy, some were sad, some beat their breasts, and some were ecstatic. In short, a few thin sheets of paper are enough to let people see all kinds of human beings in these heavenly favored children, and make people feel embarrassed.

An Rubao and An Chengyou lingered for a few days, eating and drinking with other people every day, connecting with each other, and paving the way for their future official careers. After all, these people have half-stepped into the officialdom, and it is always good to have a good relationship with each other .

A few days later, the examinees left one after another, An Rubao and An Chengyou also packed their bags and set foot on the way home.
