I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

Listen to this.

Wei Tu felt helpless secretly.

If others bribe you, but you don't, your ranking on the list will inevitably drop.

One sentence.

Such is the world.

"However, next time I make such a decision, I hope my uncle will tell my nephew, otherwise..." Wei Tu said solemnly.

This time the Huang family helped him, but he didn't think that Mr. Huang did it entirely for him.

Mr. Huang used imperial examination fraud to make him the military leader of Jinke County Examination. There are two things that are beneficial to the Huang family.

For one thing, he owed a favor.

Both of them, after becoming the leader of the county examination martial arts, the matter of fraud in the imperial examination naturally became a stain and a handle against him.

"This is natural." Mr. Huang tensed up, smiled, and replied.

now.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have underestimated Wei Tu. After knowing that Wu Chief was decided, he was not happy, but warned him.

——From the beginning to the end, Wei Tu's face was always calm, and there was no trace of anger on his face.

The words fell.

At this time, he also arrived at the door of Li's house.

Wei Tu opened the curtain of the carriage and stepped down from the shaft. He took the reins of the green horse from the Huang family's servant, then walked to the side door of Li's house and knocked on the door several times.

"Let's go back to the house..."

Mr. Huang in the carriage stared at Wei Tu's back for a while, then lowered the curtain and said to the carriage driver.

However, after the carriage galloped for a while, Mr. Huang sneezed several times in succession. He mistook it for the cold night, so he spread the soft blanket in the car on his legs to avoid the cold.

…

The next day.

Martial Arts Military Strategy Examination.

The location of this exam was not in the square of the City God's Temple, but in the examination booth for the Civil Service Examination.

The question is very simple.

Three scripture questions about "Jixiao".

And a policy topic about the "War of Yanran" between Zheng Guo and Jing Guo a hundred years ago.

Thanks to Mr. Huang's bribe, Wei Tu had already obtained the questions before entering the examination room, so he answered the three scripture questions smoothly.

Regarding the last policy question, Wei Tu organized his thoughts and answered them one by one according to the strategies taught by Shan Wuju.

soon.

He finished answering the test paper.

However, when it came time to hand in the paper at the end, Wei Tu lagged behind and handed in the paper fourth to last.

…

Two days later.

County martial arts examination results released.

"Brother Wei, you are the military leader of the county examination..."

There was a huge crowd in front of the county government office. Xinghua, who had asked for leave, took Wei Tu and grabbed a good seat at the county government office to read the rankings early in the morning.

Therefore, after she saw the yamen clerk releasing the list, she immediately saw Wei Tu's ranking.

It was none other than the number one in martial arts—the leader of martial arts!

"When the Taoist examination is over, you gain fame, and you have money after being appointed as an official..., I will go back to Li's house to redeem you..."

After Wei Tu waited for Xinghua to be overjoyed, he took Xinghua out of the Yamen and made a promise to Xinghua on the way back to Li's house.

Although he won the first place in the martial arts examination this time, he was not happy at the bottom of his heart, far from being as ecstatic as Xinghua.

After all...his Wu leader was obtained by the Huang family through dishonorable means.

"Mansion examination..."

"Tao test..."

"The Huang family will have no room to interfere. The results achieved by then will be upright..."

Wei Tu clenched his fists.

"Yes." Xinghua's cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head and nodded, saying "yes" lightly, not noticing Wei Tu's strange behavior.

…

After the results were released, Wei Tu didn't stay long in Qingshan County. After thanking Li Zhai for allowing him to stay overnight, he mounted his green horse and rushed to the capital city of Qingfeng Prefecture.

Waiting for the provincial examination in April.

"Brother Yan Gong."

As soon as he arrived in Fucheng, Wei Tu went straight to Shan Yanggong's mansion in Fucheng based on the address provided by Shan Yangong.

"Brother Wei, long time no see." Shan Yangong said with a sigh on his face.

Two months ago, when he left Sanyuan Township, Wei Tu was just a disciple of his father and his reputation was not yet apparent.

But two months later, Wei Tu was already the military leader of Qingshan County.

With the strength he showed, it was a sure thing that he would become a martial scholar in the Taoist examination.

After chatting for a while, Shan Yangong led Wei Tu into the inner house, met with Shan Min, and introduced his wife to Wei Tu.

"My body is weak, and I have always had a grudge against my little sister, so in order not to offend others, I wrote to my father during the Chinese New Year and stayed at home to take care of the housework..."

Shan Yangong Dao.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu nodded. Shan Fang's character was indeed unpleasant. She had recruited a son-in-law and had the power to compete with Shan Yangong for family property. As time went by, the two sisters-in-law would naturally not be too harmonious.

After introducing the family members, Shan Yangong led Wei Tu to the other courtyard of his home, and assigned a maid and a servant to be responsible for Wei Tu's life during this period.

night.

Shan Yangong held a banquet,

Give Wei Tu a break from the wind and dust.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Shan Yangong asked curiously: "I'm talking...after Brother Wei won the title of Military Chief of Qingshan County, Brother Wei...why are you a little unhappy?"

He looked surprised.

When he said that Wei Tu was "not too happy", it was not that Wei Tu was "unhappy", but that Wei Tu did not show any joy and pride in winning the title of Chief Wu.

Shan Yangong thought to himself that even if Wei Tu was young and mature, he would not be like this.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu thought for a while and then told Shan Yanggong Huang Zhaidong's methods.

Shan Wuju was his master, and Shan Yangong was Shan Wuju's biological son. He and Shan Yangong were almost both honored and humiliated.

To put it bluntly.

If the Zheng court investigates this imperial examination fraud case, Shan Wuju and Shan Yanggong will definitely be implicated. At the most extreme, they will be deposed from their titles, and at the most extreme, they will be imprisoned and their entire family will be reduced to official slaves.

therefore.

Wei Tu was not worried at all that Shan Yangong would leak this matter.

"Master Huang, he is indeed a businessman, he is too treacherous." After hearing this, Shan Yangong sighed and said.

It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

Wei Tu and Mr. Huang have recognized each other, and what the relatives do will naturally implicate Wei Tu personally, not to mention that the method used by Mr. Huang is to cheat Wei Tu.

"But brother Wei, you don't have to worry too much. As long as you do well in the Taoist examination, even if there is fraud in the imperial examination, others will only think it is a joke..."

Shan Yangong consoled him.

The "competition test" of the Dao test was more than ten times more brutal than the county test. At that time, the ranking could only depend on one's own martial arts strength.

"I don't have to worry about this." Wei Tu nodded heavily.

He also wanted to avenge his previous humiliation in the Taoist competition.

…

time flies.

in a blink.

It’s June when the Taoist examination is about to start.

During these four months, Wei Tu easily passed the government examination by virtue of his status as the leader of the military force, and achieved sixth place in the government examination.

"It's a pity that the health-preserving skills have not been perfected for a long time, and I have entered the state of feeling Qi."

"Otherwise, in the Mansion Trial Competition, I can win the Mansion Trial Martial Arts Leader with less talk."

In a single house in Fucheng, after Wei Tu had practiced the health-preserving exercises more than ten times, he wiped his sweat and immersed himself in his own mind, taking a look at his "late bloomer" destiny.

"Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong (91/100): practice nine times a day, and it will be completed in five years."

"Tiger and Crane Double Shape Fist (33/100): practice seven times a day and complete it in three years."

"But fortunately, I have achieved a small breakthrough with the Tiger and Crane Double Shape Fist, and my sword skills have also improved, which has made up for my last shortcoming."

Wei Tu thought.

The county examination is held in February and the government examination is held in April.

During this period, he had two months to improve his sword skills.

Therefore, before the government examination started, after his unremitting efforts, [Tiger and Crane Double Shaped Fist] finally broke through to the level of Xiaocheng.

A breakthrough in pile power.

His sword skills also broke through.

Benefiting from this, he achieved first-class results in both the "Knife Dance" subject and the "Competition Examination" subject of the government examination.

PS: Part of the progress has been accelerated. After the county examination is written in detail, the government examination and road examination will not be written in detail.
