Ruins of the past

The battle between Jiang Longyu and Chu Qiguang directly detonated the entire martial arts department and pushed the atmosphere to the climax.

Although one arena collapsed, the other arenas could still be used, and the duel continued.

But there was no other match at the level of Jiang Longyu versus Chu Qiguang.

The audience and examiners showed little interest, and the candidates also performed mediocrely.

The opponents of Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu either surrendered or were knocked off the stage with three punches and two kicks.

On the list in the arena, Chu Qiguang's name has always been at the top of the list with a complete victory.

Jiang Longyu lost to Chu Qiguang and ranked second.

The third one was Chen Yuebai from the Chen family, who only lost to Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu.

Because Jiang Longyu and Chu Qiguang swept the entire field and all the other candidates hit the mark, this time the arena competition was also very fast.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the final announcement.

…

In the backyard of the magistrate's office.

Magistrate Xue looked at the birth date in his hand and asked, "Are you sure this is Chu Qiguang's birth date?"

The boy in front of me said: "I heard that the Wang family in Wangjiazhuang originally wanted to marry their daughter to Chu Qiguang, and asked him for his birth date. I made a special trip to Wangjiazhuang and bought this from the steward of the Wang family. Birthday and horoscope."

Magistrate Xue nodded and handed the birthday card to a white-haired old man at the side.

The old man was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and a jade hairpin on his head. He was the abbot of the Taoist temple in Liyang County. He was specially invited by Magistrate Xue because of his careful study of fate and Feng Shui.

The old Taoist priest looked at the birth date recorded on the paper and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Magistrate Xue and Shang Jiaoyu on the side both came up: "Master, what's wrong? Is this Chu Qiguang the destiny of the eight generals of the Xinghan Dynasty?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said with strange eyes: "It's not the fate of the eight generals of Xinghan..."

Magistrate Xue and Shang Jiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but then the old Taoist said: "...but the birth date of this son is also extraordinary, no one can match him, and he will be the prime minister when he saves him one day."

Hearing these words, Magistrate Xue and Shang Jiaoyu were both surprised, and they checked with the old Taoist priest repeatedly.

After seeing off the old Taoist priest, Shang Jiaoyu couldn't help but said: "This person actually has such a destiny... This Wu Siqi is really cunning and cunning. He secretly cultivated such a monster. When he becomes fully fledged in the future, he can't say He is the second Wu Siqi."

After Magistrate Xue pondered for a long time, he finally shook his head and temporarily withdrew some of his actions that were originally aimed at Chu Qiguang's martial arts performance.

Then he sent someone to Wangjiazhuang to carefully inquire about Chu Qiguang's situation and confirm whether there were any errors in his birth date.

At the same time, he also sent someone to the house of the chief minister of Feiyi to report the situation here.

Magistrate Xue said: "This Chu Qiguang is likely to have a meteoric rise in the future. Since I can't stop him, why should I be an enemy of him?" Let's leave it to other people in the school to deal with the problem. ’

…

When it was time to unveil the list, Hao Xiangtong took Hao Yongtai to see it early.

Hao Yongtai still looked disheartened and said as he walked: "What's good to see? Chu Qiguang beat Jiang Longyu. The three examiners will definitely let him admit martial arts students."

"But I guess I have to put some pressure on him. Because his answer to Jingyi is too poor, I might fall two or three places behind him."

"I've read the words Chu Qiguang. It's terrible. It's a good excuse."

"Doesn't that mean Jiang Longyu can take the first place?"

Thinking of this, Hao Yongtai's eyes suddenly became clear again, and his chest no longer felt pain. He pulled Hao Xiangtong and trotted over.

Hao Xiangtong asked strangely: "Brother, aren't you feeling well?"

Hao Yongtai said righteously: "What is the relationship between Chu Xiandi and me? When I think about his ranking being suppressed, I feel anxious and can't wait to see the results of the ranking."

When they arrived in front of Gongyuan, they saw a large group of people gathered around them from a distance. Most of the candidates had finished their exams in the past few days and already knew their rankings. What they were most concerned about at the moment were those with embarrassing results and who were not sure they could do it. Can't win.

At this moment, the officials sent by the government office were posting the list from back to front according to their ranking.

First, those after 40th, then 26th to 40th, then 11th to 25th.

This time, only the top 10 martial arts students were admitted. At this time, some of the candidates below the list shook their heads and smiled bitterly, some looked pale, and some were already smiling when they saw that their names were not included in the list.

The top ten were posted up, and looking at Chu Qiguang, who was ranked first, and Jiang Longyu, who was ranked second, some people felt that it was natural, while others were dissatisfied.

Hao Xiangtong, who had been staring at the list, screamed when he saw this scene, and pulled Hao Yongtai excitedly, with a blush on his face: "Haha, the first place! Chu Qiguang is the first place, elder brother."

Hao Yongtai on the side looked at the list blankly, feeling his chest hurt again.

The officials beat gongs and drums and swarmed towards the residences ranked first to tenth, asking for rewards.

Naturally, Chu Qiguang had Chen Gang prepared a long time ago and asked Chen Gang to throw money at the door. He had to burn incense in accordance with the rules and then go to meet the examiner and attend the dinner with the other candidates.

Although he didn't care about the various rules of the Han Dynasty, he still followed the local customs. Anyway, he just followed what others did.

At the table, Senior Wu also gave some instructions to the candidates and stretched out his index finger for the candidates to pull. As a result, Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu, a total of ten candidates, did not pull the trigger, and they all praised Senior Wu for his superb martial arts.

And after that day, the news of Chu Qiguang's victory over Jiang Longyu in the arena soon spread like a hurricane towards the entire world.

Countless changes and influences followed, just like ripples on the water, triggering a series of chain reactions.

…

Three days later.

In the Divine Capital City, the Palace of Eternal Life, and the Palace of Immortality.

Eunuch Bingbi Chen Zhong looked at the eunuch running over and stopped him with his hand: "Don't you know that the Immortal Emperor is practicing in seclusion?"

Because of Emperor Yong'an's preferences, he always asked his eunuchs and eunuchs to call him Immortal Emperor.

The young eunuch immediately said: "It's...it's Jiang Longyu's matter."

After hearing this, Chen Zhong opened the document that was sent and immediately smiled slightly: "You go down, I will report this matter to the emperor."

The young eunuch had no choice but to retreat, while Chen Zhong continued to wait outside the palace.

After a long time, Emperor Yong'an came out after finishing his meditation, glanced at the long-awaited eunuch Chen Zhong, and asked: "What's the matter? Didn't I tell you that I have reached a critical moment in my cultivation, so don't come to me if there is no big problem? ?”

"I'm here to congratulate and congratulate Your Majesty. Tao Zun, please bless me and give me a talented man to serve Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Emperor Yong'an smiled and said, "Bring it to me and see."

Emperor Yong'an looked at the news on the document that Chu Qiguang defeated Jiang Longyu and won the first place, but his expression was strange.

Chen Zhong looked at the uncertain look on the other person's face, and suddenly his heart sank, wondering what was wrong.
