Jing Gao had a sad face and said to Fu Yao, "Senior brother, I actually don't want to..."
Fu Yao waved his hand: "Elder brother is like father, you don't need to say anything anymore, I will make the decision for you today."
Jing Gao was a little confused and thought: Is there such a thing? You become my senior brother, I reluctantly agree, that’s all. How come you become my father in the blink of an eye?
Chun Yuyue, who came to see Fu Su off, saw this scene and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
Fusu was also beside him and said helplessly: "Fu Yao's shamelessness nowadays is quite similar to that of Huai Guzi."
Chunyu Yue comforted him and said, "It's okay. Mr. Fu Yao is still young and has not yet decided. If you teach him well in the future, he can change."
Fusu nodded: "I hope so."
Over there, Fu Yao forcibly helped Jing Gao make the decision, and then looked at Xiong Pu: "What? Do you dare to bet?"
It’s not that Xiong Pi doesn’t dare to gamble. He knew that after Li Shui's nonsense, Jing Gao was definitely defeated, so his head rested firmly on his shoulders without any problems.
He was thinking about the benefits of winning the bet.
Jing Gao, after all, is a powerful force in Guandong, and everyone is in ruins. Once they start killing each other, will they be criticized?
As a result, the powerful young men around him all shouted: "Bet, bet with him."
Xiong Pei looked around and found that all the people from Guandong looked excited. He suddenly realized that this was what the people wanted.
Who in Xianyang has never suffered from the loss of Sophora japonica and millet? Normally I don't dare to say anything, but now I have the opportunity to deal with Huaiguzi's lackeys, so how can I let him go?
Jing Gao and those who had taken refuge in Huaiguzi had long been regarded as traitors by the heroes of Guandong.
So Xiong Pi nodded secretly in his heart.
However, he did not agree immediately, but continued to weigh the pros and cons. If you win the imperial examination today, you can get more luck in the imperial examination, gain the admiration of the children of Guandong, and maybe become a leader among them. This is indeed a lot of capital.
But in this way, Master Fu Yao was offended. But... Xiong Pei suddenly thought: If he offended Mr. Fu Yao, wouldn't he also have Mr. Fu Su?
It is said that Mr. Fusu is His Majesty's real favorite candidate for the crown prince. Mr. Fusu and Chun Yuyue have always been somewhat dissatisfied with Huaiguzi.
Today's blow to Young Master Fu Yao's arrogance is equivalent to a blow to Huai Guzi. Maybe he can take the opportunity to join Fusu.
The more Xiong Pei thought about it, the more excited he became, so he rubbed his hands and said to Fu Yao: "Okay, since Mr. Fu Yao has this taste, I'll take the gamble."
Fu Yao nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Although you lack intelligence, your courage is pretty good."
Xiong Pu chuckled and said nothing.
Jing Gao was already desperate. He looked around blankly, as if he wanted to take another look at the world. As a result, all I saw were the sympathetic looks of my classmates.
In addition to sympathy, there is also a hint of happiness. They all thought: Fortunately, I was not standing next to Mr. Fu Yao just now, otherwise, I would be the one risking my life now.
At this time, the door to the examination room has been opened. Fu Yao waved his hand: "Let's go, let's enter."
So, he took his group of junior brothers and went in mightily.
The only ones left outside were the powerful and powerful people who came to take the exam.
These people gathered together and were all chatting, either about sex or about world affairs. Jing Fu stood in the corner, looking pale and silent.
He vaguely felt that he should prepare for his son's funeral.
At this time, Wei Zhang came to Jing Fu and patted his shoulder to express comfort.
Jing Fu glanced at Wei Zhang and smiled bitterly: "Brother Wei."
The two of them were not familiar with each other before, but later they both became frequent visitors to Shangjun Courtyard, and gradually became good friends.
Wei Zhang said in a low voice: "The results haven't come out yet, Brother Jing, please don't be too pessimistic."
Jing Fu asked with a sad face: "Brother Wei, what do you think the chances of winning are?"
Wei Zhang said nothing. He indeed admired the banished immortals and worshiped Li Shui. But when it comes to the imperial examination specifically, he really has no confidence. Last night, Wei Zhang also heard from his son that the classes at Shangjun Courtyard these days can be said to be a mess, and there are many deviant contents in them.
Jing Fu smiled miserably when he saw Wei Zhang was silent.
Wei Zhang suddenly said: "There is another way."
Jing Fu asked: "Is there any other way?"
Wei Zhang said: "Immediately go to Shang Jun's courtyard and ask the banished immortal to take action. As long as the banished immortal is willing to take action, Ling Gongzi's life will be absolutely safe."
Jing Fu's eyes lit up and he nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense."
Afterwards, he and Wei Zhang hurried to Shang Jun's courtyard together.
…………
Jing Gao was like a zombie, sitting on the mat and looking at the test papers on several cases. The test paper was closed. Others were busy writing, but he didn't even have the interest to open it.
In fact, before coming here, Jing Gao had already thought that this year's imperial examination would be just a formality. Fool the past and find another way.
Who would have thought that at the gate, he would bet his life with Xiong Pei in a daze.
Can you win the exam? Jing Gao's mind is now blank. He can't even recall a single sentence of the sages' words he has memorized for so many years. If you think about it carefully, all you can think about is how there is a ball under your feet and how the world revolves around the sun...
Finally Jing Gao sighed: Forget it, just open it and take a look. If you don't write a word, you are doomed. If you write a few words, there is still a glimmer of hope.
While Jing Gao was studying ink, he thought silently: Maybe I can bribe the examiner? No, no, the risk is too great. Maybe I can buy my life with money? If the banished immortal comes forward to make peace and gives Xiong Pi more money, he probably won't need to behead him.
Jing Gao thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that he would die. With hope in my heart, my attention fell on the test paper.
The question is divided into two parts, one part is based on the above and supplements the following. It's equivalent to a fill-in-the-blank question.
The other part is to explain the understanding of a certain sentence.
Jing Gao glanced twice and was stunned: These questions looked very familiar.
In the past ten days, they have recited some texts of the sages over and over again, and then some doctors explained the meaning of these texts.
The scope of what they learn is relatively narrow and the content is relatively small, so they can remember it thoroughly. And these contents all appear on the test paper.
Now, even if Jing Gao's mind goes blank, he can still write out the answer by relying on inertia.
So he was surprised and happy, and he quickly sketched on the test paper as if he were inspired to write.
While writing, Jing Gao secretly thought: Could it be that the banished immortal is so magical that he has predicted these questions?
Jing's hands were a little tired when he wrote the report, so he looked up at his classmates. Those unlucky guys who were studying together in Shangjun Courtyard all looked excited at this moment and wrote quickly. Some people even slapped themselves several times, fearing that they were dreaming.
Compared to people like Jing Gao, Master Fu Yao seemed much calmer. He held the pen and answered the questions confidently. That calm and unhurried demeanor made Jing Gao admire him: Senior brother, he is indeed a senior brother. His joy and anger are indistinguishable. I am sincerely convinced today.
When Fu Yao and the others finished answering the questions. Hu Hai has just written a third of it.
He was very distressed and scratched his head hard, wishing he could pluck his head off: What's going on? Why are all these questions so unfamiliar?
Hu Hai didn't get much sleep at all in the past few days. He stayed up all night reading all day long. I memorized the key questions sent by Ji Ming seriously and thoroughly. As a result, when I arrived at the imperial examination room, I discovered that none of those key points appeared.
Hu Hai could only rely on his daily accumulation, half-guessing and half-guessing, and worked hard to make up random things. But some of the content has never been seen before, so there is no way to hide it...
When the papers were finally collected, Hu Hai had not finished answering.
After walking out of the examination room, Jing Gao's group gathered together and all smiled.
Fu Yao said calmly: "Did you all do well in this test?"
Jing Gao and others all nodded and said: "Very good, very good, maybe I can get full marks. Banishing the Immortal is really amazing."
Fu Yao chuckled: "You still need to tell me?"
Jing Gao said with expectation: "It would be great if the remaining exams were as easy as this exam. I can keep my job."
Fu Yao looked at him doubtfully: "What? Do you think I am harming you by asking you to gamble your life?"
Jing Gao laughed dryly and said nothing.
Wei Tong, the son of Wei's father-in-law, said with a smile beside him: "Master Fu Yao is certainly not harming you, but is giving you a chance to feel proud. Brother Jing, I am a little envious of you now."
Jing Gao said nothing.
At this time, Xiong Pi came over triumphantly and asked Jing Gao, "Brother Jing, how did you do in the exam?"
Jing Gao said vaguely: "It's acceptable."
Xiong Pi laughed: "Is it just passable? Then it's not safe for you to get killed. I can at least get 80 points."
Fu Yao looked at Xiong Pei curiously: "Do you want to raise the bet?"
Xiong Pu was stunned: "How to raise the bet?"
Fu Yao pointed to Wei Tong beside him and said, "How about adding his head? If you win, I will give you both heads together."
Wei Tong suddenly felt as if he were mourning for his heir.
Fu Yao looked at the Guandong disciples behind Wei Tong and said with a smile: "If you lose, how about you choose another head among them and give it to me?"
The expressions of those Guandong disciples all changed.
Xiong Pu chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid of gambling on my life. I just don't want to be generous to others and decide life or death for others."
Fu Yao snorted and directly asked the Guandong disciples behind Xiong Pei: "When you were making noise just now, your voices were very loud. Why are you so timid when it comes to gambling your life? Or, deep down in your hearts, you feel that my master is very knowledgeable and talented. , so his disciples can definitely pass the exam?"
Young people were the most offended, and soon a young man stood up.
Fu Yao nodded with satisfaction, and the bet was concluded.
After everyone dispersed, Hu Hai slowly walked towards the palace like a zombie.
On the way, he met Ji Ming.
Ji Ming came up to him with a flattering look on his face and asked with a smile: "Master, how is it? Have you used all the questions I gave you?"
When Hu Hai saw Ji Ming, he immediately became furious. He grabbed his clothes, punched and kicked him fiercely: "Without you, I wouldn't have wasted all my time on this useless topic. Now. Okay, you can’t memorize anything, and you can’t do anything in the exam. I’ll beat you to death.”
Ji Ming was lying on the ground, his chest hurting from the transport stone.
