Zhao Pu brought He Yihang, Long Qiaoguang and Zou Liang arrived at the yard early in the morning, intending to take a good look at the equestrian competition, but many imperial troops suddenly rushed into the yard to maintain order.

As soon as he saw this formation, Zhao Pu knew it was going to be broken. Sure enough... the Huangluo umbrella came from afar.

He Yihang looked up at Ouyang Shaozheng, who was sitting in the distance with a dark face, and smiled, "Have the emperor also come to see the martial arts trial?"

Zhao Pu felt that Zhao Zhen’s unluckyness might not be much better than Zhan Zhao. Don’t have any trouble in a while. Today, it’s a horse-drawn test, and the war is in chaos.

The more Zhao Pu thought about it, the more he felt that something was going to happen, so he scratched his head helplessly.

He Yihang held a cup of tea, glanced at Zhao Pu who was scratching his head beside him, and asked, "The child over there looked a little familiar."

"Ah?" Zhao Pu turned to look at him.

He Yihang nodded to a group of candidates standing not far away, holding a white horse.

Zhao Pu looked in the direction He Yihang indicated, and was startled with a sudden glance - Why did Nangong run to participate in the martial arts test?

But after looking carefully, Zhao Pu touched his chin, "So young..."

"That horse seems a bit familiar, too." Long Qiaoguang also came over, "Isn't that the Nangong family's little doodle?"

Zhao Pu touched his chin, "What does that child have to do with Nangong? Even Xiao Douhua was borrowed?"

"Looks like Nangong when he was a child." Zou Liang thought for a while and asked, "Bad kid?"

"Oh……"

Zhao Pu and others gasped, and Long Qiaoguang pulled Zou Liangyi's collar and shook it, "How can you have this kind of idea?!"

When the Eight King and Li Yue walked into the yard together, they felt noisy. Not far away, Zhao Zhen had just arrived and the ministers were standing up to salute. On the other side of Zhao Pu, the brothers were not sure what to do, and it was quite lively.

After getting off the carriage, Zhao Zhen walked towards the viewing platform, looking back at the area where the candidates gathered in the distance. What was the emperor looking for? Of course, he was looking for the legendary nephew of Nangong.

Nangong had no choice but to help Zhao Zhen, who almost stepped on the air, and thought to himself, what was the emperor looking for?

After finally walking to the viewing platform and sitting down, Zhao Zhen saw Nangong Qin among the candidates at a glance.

Zhao Zhen subconsciously reached out and covered his mouth - this is too similar!

After the ministers saluted, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and signaled everyone to continue and not to care about him.

Li Yue was responsible for presiding over this equestrian exam, and he signaled that the examiner could start the assessment in batches.

The equestrian exam mainly tests the candidates' ability to control horses. They can bring their own mounts or use war horses provided by the military camp.

The exam was conducted in batches, with six candidates in groups, and many obstacles were set up in the enclosure. The candidates had to ride a horse and cross the obstacles, then circle the military field, run with all their might, and then turn back. On the way back, the candidates had to conduct a series of tests such as archery and light skills on the way.

The exam was held one round after another, and Zhao Zhen also asked Li Yue for the round table. He flipped it over and said with a smile, "Oh, there is someone with the same surname as you."

Zhao Zhen handed the round table to Nangong Ji. Nangong picked it up and saw that his nephew was in the ninth group of exams.

Nangong Ji looked at his nephew in the distance, and now Nangong Qin also looked up at him.

Nangong nodded slightly to him and signaled him--no need to be nervous.

Nangong Qin reached out and scratched his head, which made Zhao Zhen laugh.

Nangong lowered his head, and Zhao Zhen knocked his elbow on his waist, "Oh, the same habit as when you were a child."

Nangong had no choice but to know that he could not hide it from Zhao Zhen, but he didn't expect that the insult would be exposed so quickly.

The martial arts examination was going smoothly, and it was soon the eighth group's turn, and the candidates in the ninth group also began to prepare.

Long Qiaoguang asked, "Huh? Did the one who competed with Xiao Nangong that day when he followed Zhan Zhao into Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zou Liang looked at the list and nodded, "It's Shen Mao from Tianyuxuan."

"Well..." He Yihang looked at the list and frowned slightly, "There is also an apprentice from the Maoshan Sect..."

Zhao Pu looked at the viewing area of ​​the Jianghu Sect not far away, "Is that Su Jiugu?"

"The Maoshan Sect only came to watch the battle?" Long Qiaoguang asked, "Every sect is basically the head of the sects. Is the Maoshan Sect quite low-key?"

"Mei doesn't say anything but bad temper, so she's afraid of causing trouble." Zou Liang whispered to Zhao Pu and the others, "Qianyi went to the restaurant and inn where the candidates gathered yesterday to inquire. People in the martial arts world don't like the Maoshan School very much."

"Why?" Zhao Pu was curious.

"The Maoshan School is originally quite mysterious, and there are rumors that Maoshan School can cheat," Zou Liang said, "What's more, there was a case of the candidate turning into salt before."

"Isn't the Maoshan school the salt one from?" He Yihang was puzzled, "I feel that the Maoshan school is at a disadvantage."

"If you are reasonable, you are not a man from the martial arts world." Zhao Pu saw that the eighth group had finished competing. Several students from the ninth group had already rode to the playground and were a little more excited. "I don't know how good the seedling in the Nangong family is."

"The ninth and tenth groups are the candidates with the best results in the first few exams so far." Zou Liang checked the results, "They are all red chapters."

"You can focus on these."

Zhao Pu and the others were also energetic. After all, they were here to pick talents, and this was the serious matter.

With a sound of a gong, the competition began. Six candidates shook the reins and rushed towards the obstacles ahead.

He is worthy of being among the best in the grades. Several candidates can ride, and they almost went hand in hand. Every obstacle was easy.

All the ministers stood up and looked, and some also found that one of the candidates looked so much like Nangong Ji...

Just as I was watching the excitement, suddenly, the neatly advanced formation was in chaos, and at the same time, the sharp neighing of the horse came.

"Am I dazzled..."

Zou Liang asked.

He Yihang held the teacup and maintained his posture just now, "It should be six candidates, right?"

"There are only five now." The Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "One is missing!"

"It turned into salt." Long Qiaoguang, a very good-looking person, saw it clearly. Among the six people, the candidate who was originally running third from the left suddenly turned white, and then drifted with the wind like scattered snowflakes.

Zhao Zhen, who was sitting at the best position on the viewing platform, also saw clearly and clearly. He subconsciously pulled Nangong Ji beside him.

Because Nangong was very serious about his nephew's examination, he witnessed a living person turning into salt on the spot. This feeling is indescribable.

For a moment, the examination room was in chaos.

A scream broke out from the crowd, which shocked the horses in the field.

The most frightening one was the group of candidates who were taking the exam. The disappeared candidate was between Nangong Qin and Shen Mao. Nangong Qin was stunned for a moment and grabbed the reins of the horse. Shen Mao made almost the same move. At the same time, he heard him shout, "No... come again?"

Nangong glanced at Shen Mao.

But the two of them reacted the fastest. The horses of the other three candidates rushed forward together with the horse that suddenly disappeared on their backs.

An animal like a horse is very frightened and intelligent. The horse was originally running well, but suddenly it lightened its back. When it turned back, it saw that the owner turned into salt and spilled all over the floor. What's the point?

The horse started to scream when it was frightened, and the direction was tilted to the side. It was hitting a horse beside him. The candidate on the horse was caught off guard and fell down.

"Dangerous!" Nangong Qin and Shen Mao both shouted, and they jumped up at the same time. Shen Mao climbed onto the shocked horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and pulled the horse that was about to step on the candidate. Nangong Qin landed beside the candidate, carried him and jumped out of the examination room, and handed it to several military doctors.

The frightened horses on the Changbian also caused chaos. Nangong Ji protected Zhao Zhen, Zhao Pu and several generals went to save people.

Ouyang Shaozheng shouted to the various sects that were in chaos, "Stand and don't move!", and then sent the Imperial City Army to stop the horses and rescue the wounded.

The Eighth Prince wanted to go down and take a look, but was grabbed by Li Yue.

Li Yue whispered to him, "This time I turned salt, I am a candidate from the Maoshan School."

The Eighth Prince was stunned, "It's Maoshan Sect again?"

Li Yue stretched out his hand and pointed to the list of candidates in the ninth group, "It's still next to Shen Mao."

The Eight Kings frowned - it was evil!

Not only Qingping Hou discovered this, but many people present discovered this problem. The people in the martial arts world were in trouble and pointed the finger at the Maoshan faction.

Shen Tianyu looked at his son worriedly. Shen Mao pulled the shocked horse back now, and he was also confused.

Now the attention of the people in the martial arts world is on the Maoshan School, and Tian Yuxuan has not been involved.

Zhao Pu asked the Shadow Guard to take Shen Tianyu and his son to Kaifeng Mansion first. He wanted to ask in detail, and this place must have something to do with him, Tianyuxuan.

Su Jiugu accidentally became the target of public criticism, and what's even more serious is that the Maoshan Sect has lost its second disciple.

"What are you doing?!"

While the people of the Jianghu were about to surround the Maoshan School to ask for an explanation, Ouyang Shaozheng stopped everyone in time and signaled them to look at the viewing platform.

People in the martial arts world also realized that Zhao Zhen was here and it was hard to fight in front of the emperor.

Zhao Zhen was shocked just now. At this moment, he held his chin and looked at the examination room below. He glanced at everyone, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen saw Nangong Qin who was looking up from the steps.

Nangong Qin actually saw his uncle Nangong Ji, but as soon as he looked up, he found that Zhao Zhen was looking at him.

Nangong Qin originally wanted to bow his head, but Zhao Zhen stretched out his finger and hooked him, that's the meaning - come up.

Nangong Qin subconsciously glanced at Nangong Ji, and Nangong Ji nodded to him.

Nangong Qin lifted his robe and went to the viewing platform, went to Zhao Zhen to salute him.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Get up and let me see."

Nangong Qin stood up embarrassedly. Zhao Zhen looked him up and down, and the more he looked, the more interesting he became, and asked, "How old are you?"

"eighteen."
