Chapter 44: Shenwu Juxiang Examination
Chen Mo looked at the Qing family's land deeds industry, which was full of dazzling. The Qing family mainly had assets in several counties around him. When he saw it, the Qing family took out almost everything he could take out.
Qingyuanshan and others carefully looked at the changes on Chen Mo's face, trying to find some clues. Unfortunately, in the eyes of men, it was like a calm lake water, with no waves in the ancient well.
After a long time, Chen Mo put down a stack of land deeds.
"Uncle Yuanshan, are you really planning to be loyal to me?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"The Qing family was offended many times before, so I would like to forgive you. From now on, the Qing family will definitely be His Highness's left arm and right arm, and do everything possible to travel through fire and water for His Highness." The several words of loyalty in Qingyuanshan, who were servile, can be said to cry and sad when he heard it.
Chen Mo came to Chuanzhou and was not interested in establishing his own power, but it was unreasonable to accept it when he came to the door. He was not pretentious and nodded and said, "With the love of his seniors such as Yuanshan, Chen Mo would be disrespectful."
Qingyuanshan breathed a sigh of relief. Before he came, he was mentally prepared to accept the sarcasm of the young master of the Chen family and his domineering power. Who made the Qing family's attitude towards Chen Mo was too bad before this. But he didn't expect that Chen Mo was so easy to talk and had no intention of being embarrassed. That uncle and a senior made Qingyuanshan feel warm in his heart.
This kid is broad-minded and unfathomable, and Wan'er is afraid that he will no longer be his opponent.
Qingyuanshan thought with regret, but on the other hand, he thought that if the Qing family could defect to the Fourth Prince of Chang'an Mansion, it would be considered a coincidence and would be a blessing in disguise.
"Qingwan isn't she doing well recently?" Chen Mo asked.
"Ah, Wan'er has been practicing hard recently to prepare for the local examination of the Shenwu Ju. Thank you for your concern. Wan'er was really presumptuous before and learned a lesson." Qingyuanshan replied.
Others said yes.
"Wan'er also attaches great importance to Shenwu Ju this time." Qingsonggu's implication was that he wanted to distinguish himself from Chen Mo at that time.
Chen Mo smiled. Qingwan, the proud daughter of heaven, did not disappoint him. After repeated blows, he became more and more courageous. This is the excellent quality of a warrior.
"I will do my best then."
Several people in Qingyuanshan wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Mo asked: "Is there anything else that seniors?"
"There is another thing I want to ask Your Highness for help." Qingyuanshan gritted his teeth and said with a thick face: "It's about the Star General."
"Star General?" Chen Mo pretended not to know.
"To be honest, the ancestor of the Qing family went to Qinglong Mountain to challenge the Xing General, but died tragically... No one else's fault, I can only blame the Qing family for being brave. However, the general who killed the ancestor of the Qing family had the intention of demonstrating. The young master had saved the Xing General, so he begged the young master to explain it to the Qing family at that time and let him go."
"Of course there is no problem. No matter how you say it, it is my Chen Mo's member. If Xing Xiang comes to you, I will definitely come forward." Chen Mo made a righteous promise.
The few people felt relieved and then chatted for a few words.
"I won't disturb the young master's preparation for the God of War, we'll take our leave first."
Watching them leave, Chen Mo handed over the land deeds to the subordinate. "Iron Knife, how is Chen Qing doing?"
"I don't know that you can practice martial arts now, Master." Tiedao replied.
"Is that true?" Chen Mo said, "I will go to seclusion in the next few days to practice and prepare for the provincial examination. You can watch Chen Qing."
"Affect the order."
...
A few days later, the first phase of the Shenwu Jue Provincial Examination finally officially began.
Qinglong Town, martial arts performance venue.
At this time, the crowds were already surging, and all the warriors in the town gathered together, and some ordinary people came to observe. They saw that the qi and blood in the martial arts are like fire, and there was no coldness of winter at all. Several sleek stone pillars were added in the center of the martial arts field, and several high-rise racks were arranged early next to them. Flags were erected around them, and the flags were the "Thousand Mountains" of the Great Dynasties.
Shenwu Ju is a major assessment in the Great Dynasty every four years. As long as male and female warriors under the age of 20 can participate. Shenwu Ju is divided into three stages: three provincial examinations, metropolitan examinations and palace examinations.
Those who can successfully perform the first stage of the Shenwu Examination are called Juren, who will not be punished by doctors according to the laws of the major dynasties, and have preferential policies that will exempt miscellaneous taxes for ten years. If a family wants to develop, it must have Juren to become a aristocratic clan.
Among them, the provincial examination is based on towns. Each county and town has only one direct promotion quota and five alternative quotas. The promotion quota can be directly promoted to the examination. The alternative quota must fight with the same alternative warriors in other towns and finally decide another quota.
The competition can be said to be very fierce. The quota of juren in Qinglong Town was controlled by the three major aristocratic families, the Tao family and the Shen family.
Before this Shenwuju Provincial Examination, Qingwan, the Qing family, was the most popular candidate. As the daughter of the first tribe of Qinglong Town and a genius warrior, the previous generation of Shenwuju, Qinglong Town, was her elder brother. If nothing unexpected happens, the Qing family is very likely to win the Shenwuju Provincial Examination for two consecutive generations, and since then, the Qing family has been deeply rooted.
However, this accident happened in the last few days.
"I heard that the Qing family has become loyal to Chen Mo."
"The Qing family is very conscious of the current affairs. The ancestors of the Qing family are dead. Other aristocratic races have long been secretly spying on them. Now that they have the background of Mr. Chen Mo, the Qing family is a blessing in disguise. I think it is a blessing in disguise."
"Although I said that, I finally became a servant under someone else's house. I thought that Qingwan won the title of the Shenwu Era, and the Qing family might enter the prestigious family, but now it has failed."
"I'm thankful for whoever made them offend the star generals."
"But I really didn't expect that Chen Mo was so irritable. He was really deceived by him before."
"Hello……"
The crowd was noisy and roaring.
What happened in Qinglong Town this winter is really rare in a century. A wasteful young master soared into the sky and destroyed the Qing family with his own strength. Then Xing Jiang appeared and was chased. Then Qing's ancestor Qing died tragically, and the Qing family defected to Chen Mo. The incident happened so dazzling and dumbfounded.
As soon as Chen Mo walked into the martial arts field, he felt the hot atmosphere. With his appearance, those who were talking stopped talking, and the loud people began to whisper in private. Now, in Qinglong Town, Chen Mo is a well-deserved figure.
Qinglong Town has a population of about 100,000, with 10,000 warriors, and hundreds of qualified to reach the age of Shenwu Ju. Chen Mo took a rough look and there were no opponents worth paying attention to.
Chen Mo found a seat to sit down, activate the qi and blood, and used the nose locking technique to practice slowly.
The success of the practice in the past few days is quite good. His strength has reached the eight-turn of Qi and Blood. The training of the Divine Eagle's eyesight has also been a small success. He can see the flying insects thousands of meters away. Recently, he is still practicing analyzing the lip language to cooperate with the Divine Eagle's eyesight. He can completely find the effect of unexpectedly inquiring about information.
A moment later.
The Tao family and several heads of the Shen family also came.
"Young Master Chen Mo!" The old man from the Shen family came and greeted him with a smile.
Chen Mo replied humbly.
The old man from the Shen family was in a pride. He visited Chen Mo last time and had a hot pot. After returning, he also made one. He ate it every day and was full of greasy faces. The Qing family devoted all his money to Chen Mo, but the old man of the Shen family thought he was also standing on Chen Mo's side and was in a good mood.
The head of the Tao family is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and just nodded to Chen Mo to show etiquette.
Then the two of them sat directly on the seat of the supervisor of the high platform. As several authoritative aristocratic tribes in Qinglong Town, they supervised the provincial examination throughout the whole process.
The warrior next to him was not surprised to see the governor of the provincial examination so respectful to Chen Mo. He was just jealous of others and was so angry. Fortunately, no matter how respectful and flattered the provincial examination, he spoke with his strength and no one could shelter him. Otherwise, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor to be punished by the nine clans.
"Brother Tao, why do you look in a bad mood?" asked the old man from the Shen family with a smile. "I heard that Tao Jingfeng returned to Qinglong Town from Tiangongmen. This time he was heading for the Juren Order. I'm afraid he is qualified to fight Qingwan."
"By the way, why didn't you see Nephew Jingfeng?"
"He has something to do." The head of the Tao family replied calmly. The disappearance of Tao Jingfeng, who came back to participate in the Shenwuju, made the Tao family uneasy, and their situation was no easier than the Qing family now.
Tao Jingfeng is a warrior trained by the Tao family generation. He worked hard to train in the Tiangong Sect. He was almost nineteen years old this year. He wanted to come back to compete with the eldest lady of the Qing family, but after entering Qinglong Mountain with Lu Kezhou to hunt the star generals, there was no news again.
Now that the ancestors of the Qing family have been killed, how can the Tao family feel at ease?
As the sun comes, the largest aristocratic Qing family finally arrived.
As soon as the Qingyuanshan people appeared, the atmosphere immediately changed.
The old man glanced at Chen Mo and bowed to the courtesy. The old man walked up to the middle of the high platform. Facing the hundred warriors who were eager to try and thousands of onlookers, he said a long speech on Shenwu Jue, "Cultural can govern the country, and martial arts can safeguard the country."
Then, Qingyuanshan waved his hand and a copper token hung above the flagpole.
As soon as he saw this order, the warriors present were extremely excited.
Chen Mo knew that this was the "Ju Ren Order" and it was also a certificate for passing the provincial examination. This order was issued by the Ministry of War, divided into four materials: "jade, gold, silver, and copper". It was issued according to the different martial styles of each town. It can also be said that it indirectly represents the level of force of each town.
With the Juren Order, you can exchange various rewards when you arrive at the test town.
For example, the capital Chang'an, the jade token, is made of jade, because there is no warrior who has the "Three Flowers on the Top" there, and even the qualification for the provincial examination.
The bronze juren order is the second most, which also shows that Qinglong Town is not valued in the Great Dynasties. Although Shenwu Ju claimed to be fair and just in the election of the whole nation, this fairness is only limited to the process. Of course, in fact, any fairness is just a matter of appearance.
After all, in the astral realm, warriors never pursue fairness and only speak with force.
It was almost time. Qingyuanshan and Tao family discussed it and after that, Qingyuanshan signaled.
A disciple of the Qing family pulled a salute and the cannon fired.
The fireworks rolled out red clouds in the sky.
The crowd suddenly became boiling.
Chapter completed!
