Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw a flash of figure. At first, they thought they had read it wrong, but they chased to the back mountain, but there was no one left, so the two began to search.

Who did they see? Judging from their backs and figures, it should be Lin Miao... But Lin Miao's condition should be with a crutch, and it is not very convenient to move. He is indeed very skilled and has deep internal strength, but his body is approaching the limit. The figure just now was walking like flying, and even Zhan Zhao felt that his body movements were fast.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Will he consume a lot of internal energy like this?"

Bai Yutang frowned and nodded, "He probably won't be able to survive this internal energy consumption method for four or five days."

Zhan Zhao was a little nervous when he heard this, "That is, he will take action in the past few days if he wants to take revenge, right?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "I can only explain this way, right?"

While Zhan Zhao was speaking, he suddenly noticed the distance...

"Why are there so many imperial city troops there?" Zhan Zhao found that in the distance, it was no longer the imperial city troops responsible for Pingxi Mountain, but another group of people.

Bai Yutang looked at it and said, "Then is the direction of the enclosure, maybe preparing for the martial arts test."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you think of going with me?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Lin Miao suddenly appeared nearby. Maybe he was just eyeing the yard... It seems that he really planned to take action on the martial arts test that day?"

To be safe, the two of them went to the paddock to check.

However, at this time, the vigil was under high alert near the yard, and Cao Lan and a large number of imperial army surrounded the entire yard.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang arrived at the official escort shed and found Cao Lan who was drinking tea with a teapot.

"Yo." Cao Lan got up to welcome the two of them. When she heard that a suspicious person appeared, she immediately ordered people to check it out.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to go into the yard to find it, but Cao Lan shook her head because it was rare, "The place for the martial arts test is arranged inside. The emperor issued an order to keep it confidential. It seems that the drawings were all drawn by him by himself. We are only responsible for guarding them, and no one is allowed to enter. Moreover, you two belong to the Imperial Academy, so you can't let them in."

When Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang heard this, he was...

The two had no choice but to let Cao Lan be more vigilant. After that, they circled around the yard and saw no trace of Lin Miao again. It was dark... they had to go back to Kaifeng.

Walking back, Zhan Zhao suddenly asked Bai Yutang, "Guess what Zhao Zhenwu is preparing for the exam?"

Bai Yutang laughed, "It should be a bad move."

"I also think it's mysterious." Zhan Zhao always felt that the day of the martial arts test would be a mess.

When they returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, they saw that everyone was there, and Lin Xiao and his classmates from the Imperial Academy also came.

In the afternoon, everyone failed to practice martial arts at Taishi. Fortunately, there was a person who knew it. Xiao Sizi went to the Taishi Mansion and invited the Taishi.

Master Pang ran to Taixue for a walk and told everyone not to practice. He chose Lin Xiao, Lin Yueyi and Ouyang Chunhua, the three who had martial arts foundation, took them back to Kaifeng Prefecture and chose masters for the three of them, practicing one on one.

Ouyang Shaozheng taught Ouyang Chunhua, Lin Yehuo taught Lin Yueyi, Long Qiaoguang taught Lin Xiao.

Not to mention, the Taishi was considered the right medicine. Ouyang Shaozheng had no choice but to fight Chunhua. At most, he kicked his butt twice, and he had to use heavy blows. He was much better at patience. Moreover, Taishi Pang also made it clear that it would be enough to let Ouyang teach Chunhua the ability to save his life and escape. Ouyang's most precious is this nephew. At the critical moment, he was still afraid that he would suffer losses during the competition. If he was injured, let alone his father, he felt sorry for himself, so Huo Qilin taught Chunhua some crooked tricks.

As for Lin Yehuo, she was even more terrified when facing Lin Yueyi, and she spoke softly and coaxed her to teach. Among these people, Lin Yueyi's martial arts is actually the best... Not to mention in the Imperial Academy, even if she is in the martial arts world, she is considered a master! And the difference between her and the Imperial Academy students, or all the students here is that Yi Yi has killed people! She killed sand ghosts a lot when she was in the ghost sea, which was also cruel. The Grand Master asked Lin Yehuo to teach Lin Yueyi's kung fu skills... It is the kind of kung fu that can scare people with one move. Lin Yehuo is good at it. In addition, the Grand Master also reminded Lin Yehuo to remind Yi Yi not to kill when fighting with the students, otherwise he would cause trouble.

Finally, Lin Xiao... In fact, his martial arts foundation is also very good. The Grand Master asked Long Qiaoguang to teach him how to fight less and more. It would be better to be like Bai Yutang, throwing black jade flying locust stones and other hidden weapons that will not hurt people's lives. Long Qiaoguang has a long-winded temper and has a good temper. Lin Xiao is also smart and practiced very well soon.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came back and nodded when they saw it - they finally looked a little bit, and at the critical moment, the Taishi was still reliable.

The Grand Master was sitting on the chair beside him. Xiao Sizi personally poured tea for him and flattered him. The Grand Master was coaxed by Xiao Sizi and laughed out loud.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang silently glanced at Tianzun and Yin Hou who were drinking tea aside - your trio is only reliable, you two are more than 200 years older than him, but they are all dragging you down!

Tianzun and Yin Hou had thick-skinned faces, and they were just pretending that they didn't see it!

In the next two days, everyone was busy. Zhan Zhao searched Kaifeng, but Lin Miao was still missing.

But the entire imperial city became lively, and the topics that everyone had to say after dinner became the Fourth Academy competition!

On the third day, the literary test began.

Yue Changfeng, the president of Qiankun Academy, is no longer there, and the new president is Grand Secretary Chen Fang.

Master Chen is also an old pedan, fair and rigid. The first thing he did when he entered Qiankun Academy was to throw out all the fancy gold, silver and treasures. He asked the students of the academy to study honestly, otherwise he would go home to do business and not waste his good years in the academy. He also cleared all the unreliable teachers to save them from leading the students. Master Chen was busy for three days and picked out the students with the best literary talent of Qiankun Academy to participate in the literary test. Before going out, he gave me a honest competition. Whoever dared to make a fool of himself would drive them away!

So... this literary test really turned into a strength competition.

The competition was held in the palace as scheduled, and Zhao Zhen brought all civil and military officials to watch the fun... No, it was just a question and invigilance.

Many people in the imperial city also came, but they did not watch the fun outside the palace gate. There were people who were responsible for on-site demonstrations at the city gate. Perhaps Zhao Zhen also considered the desire to watch the fun, so he simply "joy with the people".

The literary test is quite detailed, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all the same.

When there was no evil plan to compare the real skills, the power of the Taixue school appeared.

Let’s talk about the qin first. The princess Zhao Lan represents the war in the Imperial Academy.

Although this princess has a bad look and is confused on weekdays, she can play the piano well.

The competition for playing the piano was a temporary draw. The four people played the same songs, and there were three consecutive songs... At the end of the three songs, the difference was immediately distinguished, and Zhao Lan won the first game beautifully.

Zhao Zhen was also happy. His royal family is also talented! This was won by real skills!

The second game of chess, Bao Yan appeared.

This time, the chess game was quite interesting. There were four people in total, sixteen chess boards, and everyone was fighting. Not to mention watching the chess game, just watching the four talents walking around the chess board. Many people onlookers felt dazzled. Isn’t it dizzy?

The result of the game is to win all the money and win easily.

There was a large chess board hanging on the city tower, and some people demonstrated it on the spot, watching the people discussing the chess game, and they all praised Bao Yan's superb skills.

After Xiao Baoyan won, he walked back, looked at Gongsun and Zhao Pu who were drinking tea and chatting, and then looked at Lord Bao and Mrs. Bao who were studying the chess game. Wang Tian... Of course he would win, and he didn't look at what kind of master he played with on weekdays.

The third game is a calligraphy competition.

When Wang Qi came on stage, his calligraphy was very detailed, and he had tested all the big characters and small characters. Wang Qi's little Wang Xizhi's name was obviously not empty, so he won easily again. Many elegant guests were waiting to collect the characters, and everyone was ready to pay, so they had to collect the price no matter how high they were.

But after Wang Qi finished writing the characters and stamping them, he put them away and took them back to honor the Heavenly Lord.

Tianzun smiled happily with a few words. This one also includes Zhao Zhen’s annotations and the letters after the appraisal of the Grand Secretary in the palace, which are unique.

The last scene was a comparison.

The Imperial Academy sent Lin Xiao to participate in the competition, a freshman who entered the school in the first year, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

If you talk about Bao Yan, Zhao Lan and Wang Qi, everyone knows it. Who doesn’t know these three people in the imperial city? But there are very few people who know Lin Xiao. They have much better painting skills in the Imperial Academy, so why are they sent to compete?

Seeing that it was still early, Zhao Zhen ordered, "I am idle, and I am idle, and I am one of the plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemums, birds, insects, fish, and mountains and rivers."

Just as the students from the other three colleges were painting one by one, Lin Xiao laid eight long tables in a long scroll, and started to write from the beginning of the scroll, and painted along the way, holding a teacup in his hand. When he walked from the first table to the last table, he put down his pen, took out the seal and shook the sleeves of the robe, and said that he had finished painting, and the other candidates had not finished painting the second picture.

Two little eunuchs ran over and picked up the scroll and spread it for everyone to see.

I saw that Lin Xiao painted a picture of everything, and the whole thing became a painting, and it was also a painting. The most clever thing was that it was different from the front and the back. The ministers were so angry that Zhao Zhen was also surprised.

Lin Xiao showed his skills and saw the onlookers. He also saw the court officials. In an instant... the crowds of people outside were surging, and those who were excited were all those who sold paintings. Those who hadn't bought the words just now were almost tying up, and the bidding continued to rise.

However, Lin Xiao also took over the painting after finishing the painting and took it back to respect the Heavenly Lord.

The court officials were so envious that they stomped their feet. Zhao Zhen actually wanted to keep the calligraphy and paintings for collection, but when he saw that the person who collected the paintings was Tianzun, it was hard to say anything. Zhao Zhen thought about it. Anyway, these were his ministers. He arrested Guan Xiao and asked him to paint for one day! Little did he know that Lin Xiao and Wang Qi were in a hurry to "present" the calligraphy and paintings to Tianzun because they were afraid of being locked up.

In the evening, the competition ended, and there was no suspense. The Taixue won a great victory. However, Zhao Zhen felt that the performance of the other three academies was also quite good, so he encouraged everyone and told them not to be discouraged. Tomorrow, he would find a way to win back.

...

In a word, it reminded everyone present.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Zhao Zhen—How to compare tomorrow’s martial arts test?

Zhao Zhen was happy and said, "I have set up several formations in the Xishan yard. There are four barracks in the four corners of the southeast, west and north. There is a flag on the mountain in the middle. Each of your academies sent me a team of men and stationed a military camp. All you have to do is steal the camp, guard the camp and seize the flag! The party who finally wins the flag is considered a win, but the premise is that your camp cannot be lost. If the camp is stolen, you can't win even if you get the flag. The number of people in each team is determined by themselves, and the upper limit is twenty people, but if you get the flag together in the end, then the number of people with a small number is considered a win. Do you understand?"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, everyone was stunned - is the emperor going to compete in war?

"As soon as tomorrow dawn, I will gather at Xishan Equinox... The formation will not be revealed. When I go back to arrange the troops tonight, you can ask someone to help me with advice, but..." Zhao Zhen said this and looked at Zhao Pu, saying, "For fairness, all generals who have fought, whether they are generals or soldiers, are not allowed to help!"

Everyone turned to look at Zhao Pu and the others. They originally wanted to take advantage of the Taixue. When they were in war, they asked Zhao Pu if they had a marshal and three generals there, and a legendary Youlian famous general, but they didn't expect Zhao Zhen to use this trick.

The students from the other third colleges also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the students of the Imperial College with their eyes squinted. That's what they mean - there is no way to lose the literary exam today, and tomorrow's martial arts exam, I will teach you a lesson!

The people from Taixue looked at each other in war, secretly ordered the flag to guard the camp? There were only three people who could do it in Taixue, Ouyang Chunhua was still a waste of fire, and the rest of the group of weak chickens were dizzy after running three laps. How could they fight?

Yin Hou and Tianzun hugged their arms and shook their heads, that's what they mean - they're sure to lose!

Zhao Zhen turned his face and saw that the little Sizi was squinting at him. The bulge of face was bulging, and he was so disgusted in his eyes. It was obvious that he was saying - the emperor is so annoying!

Zhao Zhen rubbed his chest - he was hated by the dumpling!

Afterwards, Zhao Zhen saw that it was getting late, so he became annoyed again. He swayed his sleeves and treated him to dinner!

Unlike those students who were nervous, the court officials were all in high spirits. First, today's literary exam was enjoyable, and tomorrow's martial arts exam was worth looking forward to.

The people of the imperial city also thought that Zhao Zhen’s topic was very interesting. Tomorrow, the Xishan Eiduary will continue to watch the fun!

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Does the Imperial Academy still have a chance of winning?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Just Ouyang Shaozheng went to inquire just now. There are masters in those three academies. Not to mention whether they can beat Yi Yi and Lin Xiao, but their average strength is much stronger than Taixue! Taixue is equivalent to only two and a half people who can use it, and the rest are all causing trouble. Not to mention that you can't ask Zhao Pu for advice, even if you can ask, Zhao Zhen still has one trick, but no one knows what formation is, so... there is so much danger! The Taixue's support rate is also terrible when he bets on the opening bet outside!"

Bai Yutang frowned, "What about the eternal reputation of my master and your grandfather?"

Zhan Zhao looked at the sky, "Don't talk about their wisdom for now. Look at Xiao Sizi's face bulging and she has never let go."

Bai Yutang felt that it was true. Xiao Sizi was worried about the Fourth Academy competition. If he lost, he would probably be sad.

"No matter who loses, who wins." Zhan Zhao was even more worried. "Ouyang just led his men to search the circumference of several miles, but he couldn't find Lin Miao!"

"Will he already hide in the yard?" Bai Yutang asked, "But why he went to the yard? Everyone would go to watch the game at that time. He had a very small chance of fighting with Uncle Xiaofu."
To be continued...
