How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 245

[245. Chapter 245 Selling dog food for fifty cents a pound]

In this world, there are only those who commit a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no one who can spend a thousand days to guard against thieves.

What’s more, Wen Zijun is a master of Feitian realm, with strong martial arts, changing appearance, high status and high status, so he is hard to guard against.

Lu Gan could only act first to gain the upper hand.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Gongyuan. The deputy county governor Hu Jie, who looked very much like Di Pangpang, was already waiting at the gate of the Gongyuan.

“I’ve seen Mr. Lu arrest his head before.”

When Lu Gan got out of the car, Hujie hurriedly came up to him and saluted with his hands in hand.

His expression was extremely respectful, and even a little bit fearful.

The huge Yuan family, a thousand-year-old family, and a relative of the emperor, was overthrown and exterminated overnight, all caused by Lu Gan in front of him.

How can this not be awe-inspiring.

“You’re welcome, Mr. Hu.”

Lu Qian glanced around.

I saw that the high walls of Gongyuan reached the sky and were heavily guarded. Only a small door was exposed for people to enter and exit.

“Master Lu, please!”

Hujie turned slightly to make way.

Lu Gan nodded, walked into the small door, and saw a small courtyard with an osmanthus tree planted there.

On the right side of the small courtyard are small rooms divided into men and women.

“Master Lu, this is the place where candidates are searched before the start of the county examination, and candidates are strictly checked for carrying cheat sheets and other cheating tools. In addition, the five-mile radius of Gongyuan has been thoroughly checked and no one is inhabited. Flying realm masters have also entered the venue to prevent candidates from Lian Ying was cheating by outsiders,”

Hu Jie explained while guiding Lu Qian forward.

Walking through a corridor is the examiner’s temporary resting hut, which is quite simply decorated.

“Sir, this is your room.”

Hujie pointed to the largest cabin and said.

Lu Qian walked in and saw that pens, ink, paper, inkstones, copper stoves, cups, and cups had all been arranged in the room, and he couldn’t help but nodded secretly.

As soon as you go out, you can see the booth where the candidates take the exam, which is very small and cramped.

“Master Hu, this Enke Wenju examination depends on you. I am not the kind of person who pretends to understand. As long as there is no trouble, I will not interfere in the Wenju examination.”

Lu Gan turned around and said calmly. .

Hearing this, Hujie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “Master Lu is very considerate, and I admire him.”

“Oh? Why did Master Hu say this?” Lu Qian raised his eyebrows.

“The lower official believes that learning must ultimately come down to worldly affairs and human relations. If you don’t understand worldly affairs and human relations, reading thousands of books and writing splendid articles is just a waste of time.”

Hu Jie stroked his short beard and praised: “Master Lu Judging from his political experience, Qingyang County is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their knowledge is profound. Compared with those dull scholars who only know how to study the meaning of scriptures and chew on words to figure out ancient sayings, I don’t know how much better it is!”

This flattery impressed Lu Qian !

He felt it in his heart and suddenly laughed: “Master Hu is really discerning!”

Then, the two of them came to the examiner’s room just now.

“Master Lu, this is the list of candidates for the county examination, Enke and Wenju. There are 28,000 people in total.”

Hu Jie asked someone to present a roster.

“There are actually so many?”

Lu Qian opened the roster and looked at it quickly.

“Sir, there were originally 30,000 people on this list. The Yuan family committed the grave crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. All the candidates of the Yuan family have been deleted.”

Huzi Jie said with a slight cup of his hand.

“Yes!”

Lu Gan nodded and put down the roster: “I will go to the school martial arts field right now! I will ask Mr. Hu to take care of the Gongyuan!”

“Don’t dare! I will never dare to do things within my official duties. You are so disrespectful! Congratulations to Mr. Lu!”

Hujie sent Lu Qian out of the Gongyuan gate with a serious look on his face.

At this time, Lu Gan suddenly realized that something was missing in the Gongyuan.

Statue of Literary Saint!

“Martial arts are supreme in this world after all. No matter how strong a group of civil servants are, they may not be able to defeat a martial saint.”

Lu Gan shook his head, waved his hand, and the carriage rushed to the school martial arts field ten miles away.

The school martial arts field belongs to Qianlong Camp.

Shen Zishuang was trained at the Qianlong Camp on the 11th, 12th and 13th of the week.

When Lu Gan arrived at the school martial arts field, he saw the battalion commander of Qianlong Camp, Huo Que.

This is a cold beauty with long hair in white clothes. She is from the Xuanhuang Sect and is a master of the Flying Heaven Realm.

Seeing Lu Gan get out of the car, Huo Que just cupped his hands coldly, seeming a little unwilling to receive him.

Lu Gan didn’t say anything. He slightly raised his hand in return and followed this person into the huge school martial arts field.

The school’s martial arts field is paved with black-brown stone slabs, which are extremely hard and can withstand five hundred thousand kilograms of divine power. They were mined from the Heiyun Mountains in Youzhou.

After passing through the school martial arts field, a group of people came to a side hall, which was decorated like a tent, with iron tables, command arrows, and mighty golden-armored soldiers standing around.

Huo Que’s slender figure flashed, sat behind the iron case, and waved his hand.

The guards on the left and right nodded slightly, handed over their hands and exited the side hall.

“For this martial arts competition, five thousand people have been carefully selected. Sixty percent of them are from noble families and powerful officials. Thirty percent are from Jianghu martial arts sects. And 10% are folk warriors.”

Huo Que waved his hand and brushed over a long man. wooden box.

Lu Gan sat on the upper left side, caught the wooden box, and took out a scroll from inside.

When I slowly unfolded it, I saw that it was densely packed with names.

“What is your Majesty’s decree?”

Lu Gan asked while watching.

“Your Majesty means to try to select talents who are loyal to Daxuan.”

Huo Que pulled out a silver dagger from nowhere and wiped it inch by inch.

Lu Gan continued to look at the roster of martial arts students and nodded secretly.

Zhao Xuanji wants to attack the family and the three major sects. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

In order to fight against Zhao Xuanji during this martial arts competition, the sects of the aristocratic families naturally put in a lot of efforts to recruit people to obtain merit and become officials in the court.

When the people in the court and the army were all members of aristocratic families and sects, Zhao Xuanji could only hold his nose and forcefully employ people.

“Is this year’s county examination the same as in previous years?”

After a cup of tea, Lu Gan put away the roster and raised his head and asked.

In previous years’ martial arts competitions, cultivation was first examined.

After passing the level of cultivation, the martial arts students will compete in archery skills with bows and horses, and then they will demonstrate their strongest martial arts skills. Finally, they will write articles on the art of war and defense strategies.

The state examination and the palace examination have an extra link, a martial arts competition.

Lu Qian knew that his military strategy was a bit scummy and not as good as those elite disciples trained by aristocratic families, but his force was strong enough and he could defeat everyone in a competition.

That is Wu Zhuangyuan!

“Well, it’s the same as in previous years.” Huo Que lowered his head and concentrated on wiping the dagger, and replied coldly.

“Is it the same as in previous years?”

Lu Qian tapped the armrest of the chair, his eyes twinkling slightly.

After a while, he stood up and cupped his hands: “I want to take a rest for a while.”

“Come here!”

Huo Que shouted coldly.

Immediately, a big man in golden armor came in.

“Take this Master Lu to the barracks.” Huo Zun ordered coldly.

“Yes. Mr. Lu, please!”

The golden-armored soldier cupped his hands and said solemnly and respectfully.

Lu Gan nodded and led Zuo Xi and others out of the side hall to the barracks behind the school martial arts field.

“Your battalion commander doesn’t seem to want to see me? Why is that?”

Lu Gan asked casually on the way.

“Uh… Camp Commander Huo has an old friend who worked as a silver agent in the Zhenfu Division. But he was driven away by Mr. Lu.” The golden-armored soldier did not hide anything and told him frankly.

I see.

Lu Gan’s eyes flashed with surprise. He turned around and saw that the golden-armored soldier was hesitant to speak, so he asked, “Does this general have something to ask?”

“Don’t dare!” The golden-armored soldier bowed his hands. He asked cautiously, “Is Mr. Lu really your Majesty’s disciple?”

“Your Majesty won’t let me tell you.”

Lu Qian smiled mysteriously and fooled him directly.

“General, I understand!”

General Jin looked stern and replied with his hands raised. He didn’t know what he understood.

Soon, Lu Gan was taken to a clean barracks.

After a while, Zuo Xi left and made secret arrangements for Lu Qian.

Lu Gan continued to practice.

night.

An eagle cry sounded in the sky, and the powerful condor descended from the sky.

Lu Gan stood up after hearing the sound, walked out of the barracks, stroked the powerful condor a few times, and then untied a slender bamboo tube from its ankle.

When I opened it, I saw Fang Youxue’s delicate small words: I train my brother Fang Yun at home.

Lu Gan looked at you and smiled, returned to the barracks, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote eight big characters in a swipe like wind.

Then, roll up the paper and stuff it into the bamboo tube.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Gan patted the powerful condor.

Chirp.

The powerful condor blinked its golden eyes, spread its wings, fanned the wind, and soared into the sky.

After a while, a powerful condor landed next to Fang Youxue in the backyard of Fang’s house.

Fang Youxue took out the roll of paper from the bamboo tube and unfolded it.

In an instant, the iceberg melted, and it was so beautiful that it looked like a thousand-year-old snow lotus blooming, presenting a beautiful and moving scene.

I saw written on the scroll: I miss you too, little lady.

“Sister…you laughed!”

Fang Yun raised his trembling hand and stared blankly, as if he had seen something incredible.

Subconsciously, curiosity arose, and he jumped over: “Sister, show me what’s written on the paper.”

Bang.

Before he could get close, Fang Youxue turned cold and slapped him, sending him flying a hundred meters away.
