Chapter 286: A top genius crushes everything!
Translator: 549690339
The village examinations were held in autumn, so it was called the autumn hunt, while the general examinations were held in spring.
Whenever there was a large-scale celebration, they would go to gaenke.
The late King had been in power for over twenty years, but he had never once added Enke.
Ning yuanxian, on the other hand, had been in power for more than 20 years. Including this time, he had been envied three times.
The first time was to celebrate his ascension to the throne.
The second time was to celebrate his ten years on the throne.
And this third Enke was to celebrate his 20th anniversary as King.
Originally, many people had thought that Enke would be ruined this year. Everyone had seen the situation this year. The State of Yue was in danger from all sides.
In the North, there was conflict and war with the Wu State. In the Northwest, there was conflict and war with the Chu State. In the West, the SU family rebelled. In the South, there was war with the South.
This spring, the king had been repeatedly slapped in the face. How could he be in the mood to celebrate? he wished that everyone would forget about the matter of the 20-year succession to the throne. The so-called Enke was also pushed back again and again.
Who knew that the situation would develop so quickly?
In less than half a year, the situation had reversed.
The Yue country had once again obtained a glorious victory. They had eliminated su Nan’s rebellion and formed an alliance with the Qiang country. In the North, the King of Wu had admitted defeat and formed an alliance. In the West, the Chu country had retreated dejectedly. They were now in negotiations.
Ning yuanxian’s reputation rose to a whole new level.
The king was so willful. When the great news came 50 days ago, he immediately announced that Enke would proceed as usual.
Moreover, once Enke was added, not only the literary examination, but the martial examination would be added too.
The village examination would be held this autumn, and the general examination would be held next spring.
Furthermore, these scholars were overjoyed. Adding Enke was equivalent to having another opportunity, and they could save two years of waiting.
..................
After hearing Shen Lang’s words, the monarch frowned.
The little rascal in front of him had once again stepped on his bottom line.
Who was this lunatic LAN?
He was just a beggar, a person with an extremely bad reputation.
It’s fine that you recruited him as the official Registrar of Marquis ningzheng’s residence, but you actually want him to participate in the Enke?
How would the people of the world view me?
The village examination required qualifications. Although imperial censors and eunuchs were not worth much anymore, many merchants had them. Were they going to be given to a beggar now?
No, not one beggar, but a dozen beggars.
Tian Yue was the capital of the country. In addition to the few cities under its jurisdiction, there were millions of people.
It could be said that there were many talents, and every village examination was a land of death.
The liberal arts examination was difficult, but the martial arts examination was even more difficult.
Now, Shen lang actually wanted to make all 11 of them pass.
This was simply crazy.
“Are you serious?” The monarch looked at Shen lang and said.
“Of course. I’ve never been so serious before,” Shen lang said with a nod.
The monarch still felt that it was extremely unreliable.
Your Majesty, ” Shen lang said, ” from last year until now, everything that I have said has come true. Although it sounded like I was bragging at the beginning, it has all come true.
That was true, but it was still too ridiculous.
“Furthermore, I am willing to make a military pledge,” Shen lang said.
The monarch looked at Shen lang for a long time and said,”it’s a deal. Write it down.”
Shen lang waved his pen.
He wrote a military pledge.
In this year’s Enke village examination, lunatic LAN will be participating in the literary examination, while the other ten will be participating in the martial examination.
If lunatic LAN could not be ranked in the top three and the other ten could not pass the selection, Shen lang would officially return to Xuanwu city. The matter of helping the fifth Prince to fight for the throne would then be over!
Then, Shen lang signed his name.
that lunatic LAN doesn’t need to be in the top three, ” the monarch said. he just needs to be on the list.
After looking at Shen Lang’s Military Order, the monarch still felt that it was a joke.
That’s right, this did look like child’s play. However, Ning Zheng’s fight for the throne seemed extremely absurd.
Furthermore, if lunatic LAN and the other ten people could not pass the civil and military examinations, Ning Zheng would not be able to win the throne. Besides them, Shen lang would not be able to recruit any other people.
This was a miracle that defied the natural order of things. Enke high school was only the first step to creating a miracle.
The monarch said, ” the candle flame is right in front of me. If you give up, I can burn it and pretend that nothing has happened. Then, you can drive those beggars away, and I’ll send someone to the ning government to take up the position of official Registrar and Baihu.”
Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness, ” Shen lang said. however, I like to create miracles, especially the impossible ones.
The monarch still felt that it was extremely crazy.
There was only a little more than a month left. To let 11 beggars take the imperial examination for high school?
Is the civil and military examination of Yue country that easy? How many elites and geniuses failed the roll every year?
The Imperial examinations of Yue, Chu and Wu were all very difficult.
As far as the provincial examinations in the capital were concerned, there were about 3000 people who took part every year. How many of them could get into high school?
The highest number was no more than 130 people, and the probability of passing was less than five percent.
Besides, other than the prodigal sons of the Directorate and the Imperial College, these three thousand people were all elites.
The general examination was slightly better.
There were nearly 20 million people in Yue country. About 1000 people participated in the general examination every year, and about 100 people were admitted each year. The admission rate was 10%.
There were five examination areas for the county examination of Yue country, namely Tianbei province, Tiannan province, Tianxi province, the capital and Yan Zhou.
Among them, Tianxi province was the easiest, while the capital was the most difficult.
There was no choice, there were too many talents in the capital.
It was even more difficult to pass the capital’s provincial examinations than to pass the Imperial examinations.
People could study poetry for decades and practice martial arts for ten to twenty years, but they still couldn’t get into high school.
The monarch said,”there’s one more thing. If they fail, I’ll execute them all in secret.” Because you’re the one who’s causing trouble, and I’m the one who’s embarrassing.”
Shen lang grinned.
“It’s decided then!” Ning yuanxian said,”Li Sun, bestow this LAN Zhizhi.”
“Lyndin!”
“LAN Zhi is given the status of an eunuch supervisor and is allowed to participate in the scholarly examination at the end of autumn,” ning yuanxian said.
“Grant the other ten martial arts supervisors permission to take part in the Imperial examinations at the end of autumn.”
“In addition, have the people from the black water platform withdraw and temporarily spare the lives of these beggars!”
“Yes!” The great eunuch Li Jing replied.
“Your Majesty, what if I succeed and create a miracle?” Shen lang bowed and said.
“What do you want?” the monarch asked after thinking for a while.
“His Highness Ning Zheng, expand the private army to 2000,” Shen lang said.
2,000 private troops were not a lot, but they were not a small number either.
The monarch’s brows twitched. Only Shen lang would dare to raise conditions with him. If it was someone else, they would have been killed.
“Alright!” Ning yuanxian said with a frown.
and you can choose the source of the soldiers, but if you fail, you have to bear in mind the consequences. I won’t repeat them.
...............
The moment Shen lang left, the monarch regretted it!
He even smacked his own head.
I must be out of my mind to agree to such a ridiculous condition.
He actually gave eleven beggars the status of civil and military supervisors, and even allowed them to take the Enke exam.
This time, I’m going to be a laughingstock.
That bastard Shen lang!
..................
Ning Zheng’s Marquis Changping estate.
The Blackwater station’s experts had already left, and the 11 beggars were temporarily out of danger.
Furthermore, the palace had already sent over eleven identity certificates, granting madman LAN and ten beggars the status of civil and military supervisors.
It was a small eunuch, and the big eunuch Li Sun could not afford to lose face.
It wasn’t a decree, not even a verbal order.
Lunatic LAN and the 11 beggars were all clean.
How could it not be clean?
It was a complete shedding of pig hair style bath.
It was almost bleeding, and it had already started bleeding.
Other than lunatic LAN, the remaining ten people had all their hair shaved clean.
After the shower, he brushed his teeth, washed his hair, and changed into a new set of clothes.
The eleven of them looked brand new.
He was still so ugly.
With the exception of lunatic LAN.
Lunatic LAN was very ugly when he was dirty, but after washing up, he was actually a middle-aged handsome man, and a super handsome one at that.
Unfortunately, his gaze was too wretched, and his expression was too despicable.
The other ten people were almost all semi-disabled. Even if they were washed and changed into new clothes, they would still be lying around.
lunatic LAN, stay here. The rest of you, go to sleep!
............
Only Ning Zheng, Shen lang, and lunatic LAN were left in the study room.
Shen lang said, ” I’ve written a Military Order to His Majesty. One and a half months later, lunatic LAN will participate in the Civil examination. The other ten will participate in the martial examination.
all eleven of you are going to high school, and lunatic LAN is going to be in the top three.
“If we succeed, your positions will be fixed, and his Majesty will give us two thousand soldiers.”
if I fail, I’ll forget about the fight for the throne. I’ll return to Xuanwu city in disgrace, and all 11 of you will be executed in secret!
Ning Zheng was shocked when he heard this!
Lunatic Lan’s body trembled and he looked at Shen lang in disbelief.
How was this possible?
Young master Shen, am I crazy? Or are you crazy?
Shen lang said,”crazy LAN, didn’t you say that you are talented?” Why can’t you even get into the top three in the capital?”
Madman LAN said, ” I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’m only Gao Bidou. I’m unparalleled in the world. But those ten people can’t. It takes ten years to practice martial arts, and only one and a half months. It’s harder than ascending to heaven to get them all to attend the martial examination.”
“Mr. Lan, don’t joke around. Can you do it or not?” Ning Zheng said seriously.
Madman LAN patted his chest and said,”sure, why not?” If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Good night, Your Highness and young master Shen.”
Then, madman LAN left.
“Shen lang, I think this person is not reliable,” Ning Zheng said after he left.
“Just wait,” Shen lang said.
............
Two hours later!
Lunatic LAN led the ten beggars to climb over the wall and escape. However, they were all caught by slave Xian and Wu lie and thrown in front of Shen lang.
Madman LAN hugged Shen Lang’s leg and cried, ” “Young master Shen, I can’t, I really can’t! I just wanted to make a living here, but I didn’t expect that I would die. We are all children of the pugilistic world, let me off today, I will never forget young master Shen’s great kindness, never forget!”
The way he, a beautiful middle-aged man, hugged Shen lang and cried made him look even more wretched, and this made slave Xian look down on him even more.
Ning Zheng was also furious.
You’re also the one who boasted about your talent today, and now you’re the one who’s running away with people.
What do you think I, Ning Zheng, am?
You’re just a homeless beggar. Shen lang and I thought so highly of you, but you don’t cherish us and treat us like fools?
Initially, Ning Zheng still had some hope for Shen lang, but after seeing lunatic Lan’s current state, he did not dare to place his hopes on him.
Moreover, he was not willing to see these 11 innocent people lose their lives.
a melon that is forcefully twisted is not sweet. If you are not willing, I will not force you. I can go to my father and plead for mercy! Ning Zheng said coldly.
Madman LAN immediately kowtowed. thank you, Your Highness. I’ll repay you for your kindness in the future. Goodbye, goodbye!
Then, he left.
But the next second.
He was carried in by slave Xian and thrown on the ground again.
Shen lang looked at lunatic LAN and said, ” you can play the fool if you want. However, you are already in your thirties. How many years do you have? ” Who can you count on?”
Lunatic LAN trembled.
However, he quickly hugged Shen Lang’s leg and started bawling and begging again. He was completely shameless.
“Young master Shen, please let me go. I really can’t do it. I’m just bragging and lying.”
“I’ve never been accurate in my fortune-telling.”
“I have read a lot of books, but I have never been to a proper school or participated in any training for the imperial examination. The imperial examination in the capital is a group of death. I can’t even pass the elementary scholar exam, much less the Imperial High School Examination. I can’t even be ranked in the top three. Even if you kill me, I can’t do it.”
“Moreover, those ten people are semi-disabled and have never practiced martial arts. How is it possible for them to get into the martial arts High School in one and a half months? Young master Shen, are you dreaming?”
Shen lang, forget it. Ning Zheng said, ” why do we have to force others? ”
Looking at lunatic Lan’s despicable appearance, it really made one want to slap him to death!
Without saying anything, Shen lang threw an extremely obscure essay at him. There were a few thousand words in the two articles.
“Light the incense!”
An incense stick was lit.
lunatic LAN, you only have the time for an incense stick to burn. You have to finish reciting these 5000 words. If you can’t finish, I’ll castrate you!
“Wu lie, blade!”
Without saying a word, Wu lie pulled out his scimitar and placed it on lunatic Lan’s bird.
Instantly, lunatic LAN was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He wished he could hide the bird in his stomach.
“Young master Shen, stop playing. You’ll die!” Madman LAN pleaded.
Shen lang said, ” you don’t have much time. You only have 15 minutes. If you can’t finish reciting, you will be castrated. I will do what I say.
Instantly, lunatic LAN took Shen Lang’s article and started to read it.
There were a total of 5000 words and about 20 pages. It was a thick stack of obscure articles.
In less than half an hour, it would be difficult for ordinary people to finish reading, let alone memorize it.
Even a genius would need at least a day to memorize it.
At this moment, lunatic LAN seemed to have entered a completely different state.
He mumbled to himself as his eyes moved quickly.
Wu lie’s knife was on his bird, making him shiver.
............
As expected, in less than half an hour, the time for an incense stick to burn was up.
“Time’s Up!” Shen lang snatched the 20-page essay and said, ” “Memorize them all. If you can’t, you’ll be castrated.”
Madman LAN closed his eyes and quickly recited, ”
Therefore, some things were not necessary, but nothing was not. His body was also perfect. If there was a big reason, there must be no reason, and if one saw it, there would be prejudice. [ body: one of two, the end of a ruler ] [ knowledge: those who know, thus know, and must know, if clear. ] [ worry: those who worry know that they have needs, but do not need to obtain them. If they do, they will be defeated. ]
He spoke quickly, but his words were clear.
In about 15 minutes, he had completely recited the 5000 words.
Not a single word off!
Ning Zheng was stunned.
Was there such a genius in this world?
These 5,000 words were recited in an incense stick’s time?
Then, Shen lang asked a few arithmetic questions.
It didn’t matter if it was addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or how many digits there were.
No matter how difficult it was, he gave the answer within four to five seconds after Shen lang asked the question.
And it was completely accurate.
Ning Zheng was really stunning.
This lunatic Lan’s talent was simply too shocking.
Shen lang was even more powerful.
To think that he had found a genius like lunatic LAN among a bunch of beggars.
Not only was Ning Zheng amazed, even Shen lang was amazed.
Shen lang could also memorize 5000 words in half an hour, but he relied on the AI.
Lunatic LAN, on the other hand, was completely relying on his talent of photographic memory.
It was really too awesome.
Even Shen lang felt inferior.
After reciting, lunatic LAN said pitifully, ” “Young master Shen, can I go to the toilet and change my pants?”
Shen lang waved his hand.
Slave Xian took lunatic Lan’s son.
While peeing, lunatic LAN said, ” miss Xian nu, I know you’ve heard many rumors about me. I can tell you that they’re all true. But that’s just a mask of my unruliness. Do you want to understand your true self? At midnight, you’re welcome to my courtyard. We can discuss the first half of our lives and look forward to the second half of our lives!”
Slave Xian glanced at him disdainfully and said, ” “Don’t waste your energy. I can crush ten of you to death.”
............
Lunatic LAN appeared in front of Shen lang again and hugged his leg while crying.
“Young master Shen, although I have a photographic memory and I’m a top genius ...”
but I really didn’t go to school. The books I read were all random, and none of them were about the imperial examination.
“I really can’t take the imperial examination. I really can’t pass.”
Shen lang said, ” the Civil examination is mainly based on policy papers and poems. I have prepared thousands of policy papers and a few thousand poems. You should be able to memorize them within a month.
it’s useless even if you memorize it, ” lunatic LAN said. the probability of guessing is too low.
Shen lang said, ” you are a genius. You are not Jin mucong. You have memorized thousands of policy papers. Do you not know how to write them? ” I’m familiar with 300 poems, and even if I don’t know how to compose a poem, I know how to recite it. ”
Suddenly, Jin mucong, who was copying policy papers, looked up at his brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, why did you mention me when you were lecturing others?
Back then, he had tried to use the move of being kicked, but he had failed shamelessly. His ranking in the general examination was unsightly.
However, he had only memorized a few dozen chapters. Now, his brother-in-law had actually prepared a thousand chapters for this madman. This was too crazy.
lunatic LAN, ” Shen lang said. can you memorize 1000 policy papers in a month? ”
Madman LAN nodded and said,”yes!”
“Then, after you memorize 1000 articles, can you borrow them and write an excellent policy based on any topic?” Shen lang asked.
“A once-in-a-century essay might not be good, but it should be good enough for the imperial examination!” Lunatic LAN said.
“Then, isn’t it settled?” Shen lang said.
Lunatic LAN knelt down again and hugged Shen Lang’s leg. “Benefactor, I can. But those brothers of mine can’t do that. You can’t just memorize martial arts by heart. It’s impossible without ten years of hard work.”
There were four main tests in the Yue country’s military selectee.
Weightlifting, horse archery, archery, saber riding.
It was true that without ten years of effort, it was impossible to succeed.
Shen lang asked,”dumb, have you learned archery?”
“No, I didn’t!” Dumb shook his head.
“Wu lie, light a candle 200 steps away,” Shen lang said.
Wu lie went out and lit a candle two hundred steps away from the courtyard.
Fortunately, this was the original Marquis Zhenyuan’s mansion, and more than half of it had been burned and razed to the ground, so there was still so much space.
“Dumb, extinguish that candle,” Shen lang said.
“Oh!” Dumb nodded.
Then, he casually raised his bow without aiming at all.
He drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
Shoot!
Whoosh!
A moment later, the candle flame two hundred steps away was extinguished.
This time, it was madman Lan’s turn to be stunned.
He had never learned archery before, but he was actually so powerful?
Shen lang said,”within a certain level, the bloodline will suppress everything.” Madman LAN, don’t you know what bloodline your ten brothers have?”
Lunatic LAN looked at Shen lang in disbelief.
“Young master Shen, I really don’t know,” he shook his head.
don’t you know that you spent more than ten years to find them and gather them all by your side to protect them? ” Shen lang said.
Madman LAN shook his head. I’m sorry. I don’t know anything.
Shen lang said,”how many people are there in your batch?” I don’t know, but almost all of them are geniuses! “LAN Bao, bittersweet joy, and so on. However, these people were adopted by the rich and Noble, while the people around you became beggars and tramps. Their lives were delayed.”
“It’s too late, young master Shen. It’s too late now,” lunatic LAN cried. They’re all crippled. His bloodline caused their bodies to mutate, and they’re all half-disabled.”
Shen lang said,”it might not be too late!” I’ll think of a way!”
Then, he patted lunatic LAN on the shoulder and said, ” “Just focus on your own business. Memorize the policy paper and prepare for the imperial examination in a month and a half. Leave those ten brothers of yours to me, I’ll think of a way to activate the bloodline in their bodies.”
believe me, in a month and a half, I will let you create an unprecedented miracle!
“I’ll make you all shock the entire Yue country!”
“I’ll make you shine!”
Madman LAN looked at Shen lang and said with passion in his eyes, ” “What about the other person? We have ten Baihu, what about the chiliarch?”
Shen lang said, ” he is facing an unprecedented disaster. If he can survive it, he will become an invincible commander. If he can’t get through this, then he’ll be crippled!”
..................
Zhuo Zhaoyan stuck her head out to take a look.
He saw kutou Huan’s corpse floating in the river, rolling downstream.
A moment later, it had already disappeared.
A cruel smile appeared on Zhuo Zhaoyan’s face as she slowly said, ” “The most worthless things in the world are brainless martial artists.”
Then, she turned around and left.
Four top masters, two in front and two behind, were protecting her.
He was a real top master with a mysterious identity. He was not only from the yin Yuan Association.
Previously, Shen lang had said that Zhuo Zhaoyan was not only a member of the yin Yuan Association, but she might also have a mysterious mission.
20 li downstream of the Nu River!
Kutouhuan’s body continued to sink and was about to be completely buried in the river.
Suddenly, a figure pillaged from the river surface like a flying chariot.
He picked up the bitter head in the river and quickly returned to the Riverside.
This man was none other than the sword King, li qianqiu.
On the shore, li qianqiu placed ku Huanhuan on flat ground.
He could hear his heartbeat.
There was nothing else.
Listening to his breathing.
There was nothing else.
He seemed to be dead.
However, Shen lang had said that he wanted to see the person if he was alive and the corpse if he was dead.
The sword King Li qianqiu held onto bitter Joy’s corpse and ran madly towards the capital.
