Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

"My lord, that's great, you are in second place." Yan Shu ran in from the door excitedly and said.

"Congratulations to brother Bai for achieving such an achievement." Xiao Zimo cupped his hands and expressed his congratulations.

With a smile on his face, Wu Bai asked, "Have you seen Zimo's ranking?"

"Young Master Xiao is ranked first." Yan Shu said excitedly.

"Congratulations to Zimo for becoming the member of this meeting." Wu Bai said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, same joy, same joy." Xiao Zimo laughed loudly.

Yanqi walked in with a piece of paper at this moment, and said to them: "My lord, someone at the Gong Yuan copied the exam results and sold them. I'll buy a copy too. Take a look."

Wu Bai took the list from Yanqi, Xiao Zimo leaned over and looked at it with him.

"I didn't expect that Yun Zhijing was ranked third, Xie Ning was ranked eighth, and your eldest brother was also selected, ranking 280." Xiao Zimo read.

A few people were talking, there was a burst of firecrackers outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door, and they hurried to open the door.

There were four yamen servants outside the door, and they asked happily, "Which one is Mr. Wu Bai from Kaizhou Prefecture?"

Wu Bai took half a step forward and said, "This is Wu Bai."

Seeing Wu Bai was so young, the eyes of several yamen servants flashed with astonishment, the leader of the yamen servants respectfully handed the folder in his hand to Wu Bai, and said in his mouth: "Congratulations, Mr. Wu won the No. 2 exam. "

"Same joy, same joy." Wu Bai took the booklet, Yanshu hurriedly took out the wallets he had prepared in advance, and handed them to the four yamen servants one by one.

Before the four servants could say their goodbyes, the sound of firecrackers sounded again behind them. Everyone looked towards the entrance of the alley, and saw another four servants walking towards here beating gongs and drums.

Seeing this situation, Wu Bai and the others naturally understood what was going on, but the four yamen servants who came first felt a little baffled, and they took the initiative to say: "We have already notified Mr. Wubai Wu of Kaizhou Prefecture, how do you Another trip in vain?"

The four new yamen servants replied: "We are here to announce the good news to this Huiyuan Xiaozi, Mr. Mo Xiao."

Xiao Zimo also stepped forward and said: "Xiao Zimo, I'm here to thank everyone."

The four yamen servants looked at the two of Wu and Bai suspiciously, envy flashed in their eyes, and they thought: No wonder people often say that things of a kind gather and people form groups, it makes sense.

"Congratulations to Xiao Huiyuan." The Yachai who were present congratulated Xiao Zimo with their hands together.

"Same joy, same joy." With a smile on his face, Xiao Zimo took out a purse from his bosom and handed it to the officials.

The scene was harmonious, and Wu Bai said to everyone: "It's a rare happy event today, if you guys don't mind, let's go to Huixianlou for a drink."

"Brother Bai, aren't you physically unable to drink?" Xiao Zimo worried.

Wu Bai laughed and said, "I can't drink alcohol, but you can."

The task of the eight yamen servants to announce the good news has been completed, and they have no other official duties for the time being. At this moment, Wu Bai kindly invited them, and they did not refuse, and they all nodded and agreed to go to Huixian Tower.

Soon, Yanshu locked the door, and everyone headed towards Huixian Tower.

After arriving at the Huixian Building, Wu Bai reserved a private room, and when everyone went upstairs, he ordered two tables of food and wine to entertain everyone. Several yamen were assigned to a table, and four of them shared a table.

The officials were not dissatisfied with this arrangement, but felt more at ease.

In another restaurant in the capital, Yun Zhijing looked at the list in his hand and drank in frustration. He couldn't accept that he was ranked third, and the top two were Wu Bai and the others.

He was slightly drunk, and finally figured out that he had to cheer up and try to suppress Wu Bai and the others during the palace examination.

After figuring this out, he stopped drinking, picked up the list on the table, and walked out of the private room.

"Ah!" A woman's scream sounded.

It turned out that Yun Zhijing accidentally bumped into a lady, he quickly put on his signature smile and said, "Forgive me for being reckless and bumping into the lady."

The young lady glared at Yun Zhijing angrily, and then looked at the smell of alcohol all over her body and the examination list in her hand, she couldn't help but conclude in her heart that Yun Zhijing was a student who failed the exam, that's why she came to the restaurant to drink away her sorrows, this kind of behavior just happened What she didn't like was that even though Yun Zhijing was handsome, she still said with disgust on her face: "Go away, stay away from this lady."

Yun Zhijing had never been so disgusted by any woman before, he was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes, and he thought: Interesting.

Perhaps Yun Zhijing's scrutinizing gaze was too strong, which aroused the lady's disgust even more. She raised her hand to slap Yun Zhijing's face, but Yun Zhijing grabbed her arm.

"Under Yun Zhijing, dare to ask the lady's name?" Yun Zhijing smiled evilly at the lady.

"Come on, quickly throw this apprentice out to Miss Ben." The lady blushed angrily and said.

"Yes, Miss." The two servants walked towards Yun Zhijing.

Knowing something was wrong, Yun Zhijing hurriedly let go of the young lady's arm, took a step back, and retreated to his private room. He was worried that the other party would break in, so he plugged the door bolt.

He leaned against the back of the door, listening to the slapping sound from outside, he couldn't help but sigh that this young lady is really savage, a little different from what he had seen before.

The lady outside the door saw that Yun Zhijing was hiding like a turtle, and she was angry with Yun Zhijing, but she couldn't help him, so she stomped away angrily.

Yun Zhijing who was inside the door heard the movement outside the door disappeared, he looked out with his head poking his head, and there happened to be a waiter passing by with something in front of the door, which frightened him enough, he thought it was the lady's servant blocking him at the door, He took half a step back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was scared to death." Yun Zhijing patted his chest and said.

At this moment, he completely woke up from his drunkenness, tidied up his appearance, and just stepped out of the room and went downstairs.

On the other side, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo went downstairs, hired a carriage, and sent all the servants to the carriage, and the four of them walked home slowly.

Early the next morning, they came to Tao Mansion again and thanked Tao Siye in person.

Tao Siye was about to go to court, when he heard that Wu Bai and the others were coming, he quickly ordered the porter to bring them in.

"I've seen Lord Tao." Wu Bai and the two said, cupping their hands.

"Haha, don't be so polite, I already know the rankings of the two of you in this test, and you really didn't disappoint me." Tao Siye said with a smile.

"Thank you Master Tao for helping us, we are deeply grateful." Wu Bai and the others thanked us again.

"Hahaha, based on your results in this test, as long as there are no accidents, we will be colleagues in the future. Don't forget to help each other when the time comes." Tao Siye pointed out.

"Of course I won't forget, sir, don't worry." Wu Bai and the two nodded.

With many friends and multiple paths, they naturally did not intend to turn against Tao Siye, not to mention that Tao Siye had helped them before, so they would never forget this kindness.

Tao Siye had to go to court, so the two sides didn't exchange pleasantries for long, and Wu Bai and the others took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing Tao Siye's smiling face, the butler asked, "The master seems to value these two young people very much?"

"These two sons are one or two in this test, so naturally we should pay attention to them." Tao Siye replied.

"They are just Jinshi now, does the master value them too much?"

"These two are quite intelligent. I naturally want to show that I value them when they are in their infancy. If they enter the court in the future and mix like ducks in water, it will be a joke for me to pay attention to them."

"What the master said is true." The butler agreed.

Before leaving, Tao Siye told the butler: "Go to the study, find out the palace examination papers from previous years and send them to them. If you want to help others, then help to the end."

"Yes." The butler agreed.

Kaizhou Prefecture

Wu Chengzhou looked in the direction of the capital, and sighed, "I don't know how the result of the test between Bai'er and Mingxuan will be."

Nan Yiyun stood beside him, and comforted him: "Master, I believe that Bai'er will definitely pass this test."

"You have extra confidence in him?" Wu Chengzhou looked at her in surprise.

"My concubine went to Bailu Academy to visit Mrs. Yu on purpose, and he told me that Bai'er is very sure about going to Beijing to catch the exam." Nan Yiyun explained.

"I see." Wu Chengzhou nodded.

Ying Churou beside him interjected: "Master, I received a letter from Mingxuan last month, and he said in the letter that he is very confident this time."

Hearing this, Wu Chengzhou said with satisfaction: "That's great, it seems that the wish of my Wu family with two scholars in one school can be fulfilled."

April 21

Wu Bai was going to take part in the imperial examination, he got up before dawn to dress and wash, Yanshu Yanqi also got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for Wu Bai and his wife.

After breakfast, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo got into the carriage and went outside the palace city.

The two got out of the carriage and came to the gate of the palace. There were two groups of people on the left and right standing here, clearly separated from each other. It was obvious that the group of young people with clear eyes on the right were the new tributes this year.

Seeing this, Wu Bai and the others walked towards those people, and since they were the first two, they consciously went to the front and stood still.

When it was almost time, two officials from the Ministry of Rituals came over and told them about the etiquette of the palace examination. Wu Bai pricked up his ears and took notes carefully.

At this time, the city gate of the palace was opened by the city guards, and a group of soldiers in armor ran out to guard the gate. The ministers on the left were not surprised by this, and they entered the palace gate in order according to their grades.

After they finished walking, the two officials from the Ministry of Rituals led Wu Bai and the others into the palace wall.

The examinees had just been taught etiquette by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally they didn't dare to look around and just followed the people in front of them.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally entered the Hall of Preserving Harmony, followed by all the officials and knelt down to greet the emperor.

After paying salutes and greetings, the emperor called Pingshen, and all the examinees followed the officials to stand up again.

When the emperor saw these new faces, he knew in his heart that they were the Gongsheng who participated in the palace examination. He waved his hand to signal the eunuch behind him, and the eunuch quickly withdrew.

After a while, he took the manpower to arrange the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and all the candidates also took their seats.

"A locust plague occurred in a certain place, the people were suffering, and people's grievances were boiling. How should we solve it? This is the topic of this palace examination." Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor said without anger.

Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo were at the top of the rankings, so the position of the palace examination was also at the top, and it was the place where the majesty of the emperor could be felt the most. Fortunately, the quality of the two of them was relatively good, and they did not commit any dishonorable acts.

The two of them lowered their heads in deep thought, having a good draft in their hearts, and then began to write to answer.

Emperor Xuan Ping looked at the three Gong students in the front, and secretly sighed in his heart that they were both talented and beautiful, especially the No.3, who really looked better than Pan An, and he was probably the only one who could be the candidate for this round.

Yun Zhijing, who bowed his head to answer the paper, held his breath at this moment, intending to write an astonishing strategy and theory to push Wu Bai and the others down, but he didn't know that he was already destined to be a top scorer.
