Chapter 4 Mojiang County

"For me today, the most important thing is naturally scientific research.

If you are awarded the title of the Golden List and you will be given a scholar’s ​​fame, many things will naturally become much easier.

It’s not impossible to practice martial arts.”

Chen Qingyun calmed down and returned to calmness.

He knew very well that he was in his current situation and had no conditions to learn martial arts.

Only the imperial examination is a smooth road before him.

After studying hard for at least ten years, he has been familiar with all kinds of poetry, classics, and the saints' articles, and the conclusions of the eight-legged essays. He is still confident of passing the exam for scholars.

"But if you want to participate in the imperial examination, someone must guarantee it.

Either the scholars are guaranteed for the essay, or five children who also participate in the scientific examination will protect each other.

And now the deadline is not far away, only seven days are left..."

Thinking of this, Chen Qingyun couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

“Seven days.

After all, Dean Zhang hasn't done anything yet, so he asked Uncle Wu to notify me in advance, otherwise..."

Chen Qingyun was not grateful to Dean Zhang because he knew that this was just the other party’s way of dealing with things, and it was smooth and left room for nothing.

But in the end he was untrustworthy and made him passive.

He remembered that this would eventually come back.

...

Chen Qingyun carried a bookcase and walked on the mountain road to Mojiang County.

From Yunwu Village to Mojiang County, there are dozens of miles between them, and you have to cross a mountain. The mountain is called Wuquan Mountain, which is nearly a hundred miles in a radius. Although it is not majestic, it is also dense in the jungle and complex in the terrain. Not only are there rolling hills, but also flowing springs and waterfalls and rocks.

There are many beasts in the mountains, such as tigers, leopards, jackals, monkeys, rabbits, pigs and snakes, and it is said that there are also "monsters" evolved from wild beasts. Generally speaking, except for hunters who are forced by life, or some rich young men in the county who are very good at martial arts and want to hunt beasts, no one dares to go up the mountain easily.

Fortunately, what Chen Qingyun wanted to climb was just a small hill on the edge of Wuquan Mountain. Because people often walked, they opened a mountain road, which could carry a load, and the three of them walked side by side. Moreover, the trees were sparse, and they could see thirty meters... There were very few dangerous beasts.

Walking forward carefully, Chen Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief after crossing the mountain road.

Because the next step is basically the official road. Although there is also the possibility of encountering bandits, poor scholars like him are rarely regarded as targets. Once they really encounter them, they can generally lose money and eliminate disasters and have no worries about their lives.

After all, the Great Xia Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time. If a murder occurs, the government will naturally go to inquire about it. Ordinary bandits will always be somewhat concerned.

Chen Qingyun set off in the morning and swallowed two rice balls at noon to fill his stomach with the mountain spring. When the sunset was almost densely covered with sunset, he finally arrived at the foot of a city gate.

"Mojiang County!"

After looking at the three big characters above the city gate, Chen Qingyun tidied up his sleeves and then stepped forward.

Only after paying a penny to enter the city did he truly enter Mojiang County.

Compared with Yunwu Village, there is no need to say much about the prosperity of the county town, such as tall buildings, bright boats, stone pavements, colorful flags and lanterns, Accords and small pavilions.

On the street, there are hawkers walking around the streets, crowded crowds, rows of shops, exquisite goods, various hawking, shouting, and asking prices... Under the sunset, it is woven into a beautiful picture.

Without too much emotion, a wave of tempting fragrance came from some restaurants and street stalls.

He was traveling all day long, and even if he had to use rice balls to cushion his stomach at noon, he was still very hungry.

With the urge to enter the restaurant and have a full meal, Chen Qingyun hesitated for a moment and walked directly to a bun shop.

He didn't have much money, three taels and two cents, which might be enough for him to spend in a restaurant, but this is his entire wealth, and at least he needs to support him until the scientific examination.

With two months left, we naturally need to save some money.

"Boss, how do you sell these buns?"

Chen Qingyun asked the boss, but his eyes looked around curiously.

From Yunwu Village to Mojiang County, the journey is long, and it’s okay to have a carriage. It takes several hours to walk by yourself without a stop. Generally speaking, he rarely comes here.

Naturally, I am very curious about everything in the county town.

"Two meat buns are sold for one, and one vegetarian buns are sold for one."

The owner of the bun shop replied with a smile.

Asking about the fragrance, especially the butter and meat fragrance in the meat buns, Chen Qingyun couldn't help swallowing. However, after a moment of hesitation, he still spoke and said, "Give me five vegetarian buns."

Then he handed over the money.

"Okay!"

The boss shouted, but didn't bother him and quickly put the buns on.

At this moment, Chen Qingyun's eyes turned, but his pupils shrank.

He saw two people from afar.

These two men are seven feet tall and look a little thin. They are wearing government uniforms. They are black and red, and there are a trace of golden special clothes at the corners. They both have knives hanging around their waists. They seem to be walking leisurely, but their eyes are as sharp as lightning. When they sweep slightly, they seem to have a knife flashing, making people dare not look directly at them.

"Inspectorate Department, this is the person from the Inspectorate Department."

Almost instantly, Chen Qingyun recognized the identities of the two.

He was naturally impressed by the inspectors who took Chen Boqian away from Chen's mansion, especially the clothes on the other party, and would never admit his mistake.

"How could there be a person from the inspection department here?"

Immediately afterwards, a doubt arose in his heart.

The Inspection Department is a department that personally set up by the founding emperor to inspect the world. It has extremely powerful power. It is said that every inspector is a person with high martial arts skills, which makes many high-ranking officials, generals, and even royal grandchildren very afraid. It is famous and can make children stop crying when they hear it.

However, generally speaking, most of the people in the inspection department appear in some big cities such as Shengjing City, Magnolia City, Dingjun City, and places such as Mojiang County are rarely seen.

Most people cannot recognize their identities at all.

"Is it related to the remnants of the Ming Prince's Mansion?"

Suddenly, he remembered the news that Uncle Wu had mentioned to him before about the escape from the royal palace of the previous dynasty and the people from the Ming palace were fleeing nearby.

I think that the only one who is worthy of the inspection department is this powerful man from the Ming Palace.

"Young master, your bun."

Seeing that Chen Qingyun was stunned, the owner of the bun shop shouted quickly.

"Okay, thanks!"

Chen Qingyun came to his senses, hurriedly reached out to take it, and then looked at the two inspectors who were leaving, and they quickly returned to peace.
