Chapter 220

"My lord, you have now become a worthy and scholarly student in the village. In the future, Qinghe County's county annals will be edited by you!"

After Li Mu returned to the carriage, Hu Yunniang offered tea to Li Mu obediently, and then lightly beat Li Mu's back and legs: "Master, your prestige in Qinghe and Baoming counties alone is enough to change another person's background!"

In the Great Yin Dynasty, the imperial examination was the main thing, but when a certain person made a great merit, as long as he alarmed the court, the court would reward him, either by giving him an official position or an honorary title.

Especially for Confucian scholars, as long as they have done great merit, they will inevitably get rid of their white bodies and become a member of the imperial court and country gentry.

With these merits and virtues, if you enter the officialdom, this can be regarded as a shining resume, and it will also play a big role in future promotion.

"If it wasn't so, how could Zhou Daoquan give me a Juren background for nothing?"

Li Mu laughed and said: "This time your master has gone to Yunzhou Mansion, all he needs to do is put on a show and have a few cups of tea with Mr. Zhou, and he will be on the list, saving my boss energy!"

He and Zhang Shihong rescued the victims in Qinghe County and donated money and food. Their meritorious deeds were great.

He only needs to go to the government office to register his name during the provincial examination, and his identity will be confirmed.

Even so, Li Mu still wanted to pass the exam by himself, to try his literary skills in this field.

At any rate, he studied hard for a period of time, and he memorized the Confucian classics thoroughly, and invited several famous Confucian scholars from nearby to give lectures on the classics for him.

I invested so much money and spent a lot of effort, if I didn't go to the examination room to try it myself, I would never be reconciled to anything.

The Juren status that Zhou Daoquan gave him was far inferior to what he had obtained by his own ability.

Although Li Mu didn't care about this Juren's identity.

An identity in the mundane world is nothing more than a senior civil servant in the modern Xia Kingdom. In Li Mu's eyes at this time, it is just one of his identities.

The red flame and copper steed pulled the red carriage and ran on the official road. Under the sun, it was like a red smoke, pulling out a billow of smoke and dust at the rear of the car.

As a puppet beast that Li Mu expended a lot of energy to refine, this fire copper horse outlines a large spiritual energy formation in its body. After absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth overnight, and adding the blessing of millions of runes, this horse runs fast. Fast and powerful.

Along the way, the carriage rumbled forward with astonishing power.

From Qinghe County to Yunzhou Prefecture, it is at least three thousand miles. Fortunately, Li Mu, a fiery puppet horse, can run extremely fast and can travel thousands of miles a day. .

However, Tong Lie, who was driving the chariot, was only a master of the rivers and lakes after all, not a practitioner, and could not display the true power of the chariot and horse.

He only drives this horse as a real horse, but he also fulfills his duty. He takes great care of the horse along the way, and he dare not drive it too fast, for fear of tiring the horse, and fearing that the car will bump and make the master angry.

At this time, the sun and the sun set in the Great Yin, and the chaos was everywhere, and it was very peaceful. Scholars rushing for the exams usually joined hands to rush for the exams, and they tried to take the official road as much as possible.

These days, it is very difficult to go out for a trip. After leaving the house, there are dangers everywhere.

Along the way, there are many gangsters driving cars, running shops, punting boats, and moving goods.

Every year, pedestrians who went out were killed in black shops, slaughtered in black boats, their things were carried by porters and disappeared, and even people were sold by traffickers.

The so-called foot and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed even if they are innocent, that's what they said.

Traveling far in modern society, there are often various cases, not to mention the ancient dynasty of the Great Yin Dynasty, which was prone to chaos.

In this case, the scholars rushed to the exam, and the richer families directly brought their slaves, and brought their own carriages, horses, money and food, and they all drove to the exam.

And the poorer scholars, if they want to rush for the exam, they have to travel together, carry their bags, travel overnight, get up early and go to bed early, and dare not miss the place.

Fortunately, the imperial court set up a post station along the official road, which can also be used as an inn, and it has become the first choice for scholars to stay halfway.

In the world, there are not many blind guys who dare to attack the station and rob and kill the passengers in the station.

Apart from post stations, the safest places are of course inns in towns.

Compared to these scholars, Li Mu did not have such worries.

On the contrary, he really wants to see this kind of black shop, or a strong man who robs.

Tong Lie drove on the road for a long time, and looked at the middle of the sun, there was a forest in front of him, and a hotel was set up in the woods near the road.

The wine flag is slanted, with a big word "wine" written on it.

"Sir, shall we stop for dinner?"

Tong Lie likes to drink, and he has to drink a few catties of wine every day to sleep peacefully.

It is already noon now, and after driving for half a day, although I am not exhausted, I also feel a little hungry and thirsty.

Seeing the restaurant now, I couldn't help but salivate: "Housekeeper Hu, do we want to rest here?"

Hu Yunniang's voice sounded in the car: "Tong Lie, the master said that he rests in the car and does not eat or drink outside. If you want to eat or drink, stop the car and go."

Tong Lie said: "The master didn't even eat, how dare the young one eat alone?"

Hu Yunniang smiled and said: "You guys don't know how to practice magic. Our master's car has space in it, and there is plenty of space for eating, drinking and sleeping. Even if you live in the car for three to five years, you won't die of hunger."

She said to Tong Lie: "If you want to drink, stop the car and go on your own. The master and I happened to be refining something in the car."

Tong Lie hesitated for a moment: "This...isn't that good?"

Hu Yunniang scolded with a smile: "Pretend to be in front of me? Get the hell out of here!"

Tong Lie was overjoyed: "Yes! Thank you, Butler Hu!"

Immediately, he parked the car at the entrance of the hotel, tied the fire horse to the horse stake in front of the store, carried two giant axes on his back, and walked into the hotel.

He was over nine feet tall, with muscles all over his body, standing like a hill.

Coupled with the two giant wheel axes that weigh a thousand kilograms behind, it is naturally extremely oppressive.

At this time, the hotel was full of people, and it was a mess.

But when Tong Lie lowered his head and entered, the entire lobby of the hotel fell silent.

Everyone looked at the giant who walked in with amazed eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little fear in their hearts.

Although Tong Lie didn't look at them, nor did he show any fierce expression, but just looking at his figure and the two exaggerated battle axes behind him was enough to make everyone quiet.

Only a man and a woman in the corner of the lobby remained unmoved.

This man and woman looked to be in their twenties, the man was dressed in a white robe and dressed as a scholar, the woman was dressed in an emerald green dress, the man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful.

"A big fool!"

The green-shirted woman in the corner looked up at Tong Lie, and said with a smile, "Brother, didn't you say that your buddhist friends lack apprentices?"

She pouted at Tong Lie: "Hey, look at this guy, this qualification, isn't this a ready-made Buddhist disciple? I just caught it and gave it to a friend as a gift."
