The carriage began to go downhill, heading towards the spectacular group of tents by the lake.
The young man in a pure black robe was still walking in front holding a lantern. His steps were light and fast, giving people a feeling as if mercury was flowing in his body. And he was moving at the speed of an ordinary person running.
But he didn't feel out of breath at all. He still smiled gently and relaxedly talked to the old man driving the car and Lin Xi about the rules of the Qingluan Academy entrance examination.
"The carriages, horses and other entourage are not allowed to move forward once they reach the stone monument. They can find a place to rest nearby and wait for the results of the entrance examination tomorrow. As for you..." The young man with a broad forehead stretched out a finger and pointed at it.
Pointing at the lake, "You can find an empty tent to rest by the lake, or you can chat with other people who have entered the test. The conditions of each tent are the same, and you can take whatever you want to eat and drink.
, when the lecturer calls your name tomorrow, just follow the instructions and take the exam."
"Lecturer?" Lin Xi's mouth suddenly opened into an oh shape.
"What?" The young man with a broad forehead looked at Lin Xi with a strange expression in surprise and asked.
"It's nothing, I just think this title is a bit strange." Lin Xi swallowed the "nonsense" that she almost blurted out, and changed the topic, "Brother Xia, you didn't ask me my name before, but you will say it tomorrow
Will the lecturer know my name and call me?"
"It seems that you don't know much about our Qingluan College. It's normal to find it strange." The young man with a broad forehead seemed to have suddenly realized something. He smiled and said: "Before each of you candidates arrives, go to various places.
, I have already passed on each of your information, so you don’t have to worry that no one will care about you tomorrow.”
"Brother Xia, are you a student of Qingluan College?" Lin Xi looked at the young man named Xia Yanbing and asked seriously: "I really don't know anything about the entrance examination of Qingluan College. You
Can you tell me what subjects I need to take the test?"
"I am also a lecturer at Qingluan College now." Xia Yanbing smiled slightly and said: "As for the content of the exam, it is different every year. I don't know it. I can only say that it will be very fair. Our Qingluan College recruits students.
The two most important things are talent and character. I can’t say more about the specifics.”
"Brother Xia, are you already a lecturer?" Not to mention Lin Xi, even the old man driving the car had a look of shock in his eyes.
"It's nothing." Xia Yanbing smiled slightly again, turned around and said nothing more. However, this understatement made him look a little different and proud.
…
In an open space about five miles away from the tents with piles of bonfires lit by the lake, at least a thousand carriages have gathered. The bonfires are brightly lit, and the scene is very spectacular.
Seeing that the stone tablet that Xia Yanbing mentioned that prohibited carriages from traveling was already not far ahead of the road, Lin Xi was about to get off the car and walk directly to the tents by the lake, but at this moment, a car with four horses
The tall carriage pulled by the blood-red horse came straight from another road. It seemed to be very familiar with the situation at the lakeside. There was no one from Qingluan College leading it, and it arrogantly forced its way in front of Lin Xi's carriage.
A young man wearing a golden brocade robe was placed in front of the stone tablet.
This young man looked one or two years younger than Lin Xi, about half a head shorter than Lin Xi, and had a fair complexion. However, looking at Lin Xi who had just appeared on the carriage behind him, he had a look of arrogance and disdain on his face.
The carriage he jumped off had brass decorations everywhere, it was gorgeous and heavy. The driver was a burly middle-aged man wearing a green outfit. After putting down the young man, he walked straight towards
Lin Xi's carriage moved forward, and at the same time she raised her head to the old man driving the carriage, actually asking the old man to step aside and let him drive along the road to the open space where thousands of carriages gathered.
Seeing the arrogance of this carriage, Xia Yanbing, who had already been taken to the place and was about to turn around and leave, could not help but feel a slight chill in his eyes. However, when he glanced at the old man driving in front of Lin Xi, his eyes calmed down and he stepped aside.
Stand aside and watch.
The old man stopped the carriage, but did not get out of the way. He just sat quietly on the front of the carriage, not looking at the burly middle-aged man coming towards him.
The burly middle-aged man's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that the bad old man driving a broken carriage would dare to disrespect him like this.
The four blood-red horses stopped when they almost reached the two gray horses in front of Lin Xi's carriage. For a moment, the two carriages were in a stalemate, with neither side giving in.
Both carriages arrived very late. Such a conflict immediately attracted the attention of all the candidates where thousands of carriages gathered and on the lakeside.
The younger the people are, the more they like to join in the fun and watch the fun. There is no obvious movement at the place where thousands of carriages gather, but groups of teenagers rush out of the tents by the lake.
"Looks like a person, but I didn't expect that he was also an idiot." Among the crowd pouring out of the lakeside tent, a tall girl with a ponytail just glanced at the two sides confronting each other, and then murmured contemptuously.
He glanced at the young man in gold shirt and white face, whose face also became a little ferocious.
This girl was wearing an ordinary blue rosy shirt, and her face and facial features alone were not extremely beautiful, but taken together, they gave people an indescribable sense of elegance and beauty.
"It seems that he is just a local bumpkin who has recently made a fortune. If I were stupid, I would never be stupid enough to provoke that carriage." In another place, a young man with a dark complexion and wearing a light silk gown was
Very conspicuous. His long black hair was combed very straight and tied with a jade ring. He was born with the noble temperament of a leader. There were five or six teenagers gathered around him. These five or six teenagers all wore expensive jewelry around their waists.
Jade ornaments and luxurious clothing materials make one look either rich or noble.
"Brother Li, why did you say this?" A round-faced young man wearing Xiangyun gauze material beside him suddenly asked in confusion.
The four blood-red horses alone were taller than the two horses in the opponent's carriage, and the middle-aged man driving the car was full of explosive power. No matter which way you looked at it, the old man with cloudy eyes was driving the car.
There is no comparison between a shabby carriage and a tall ornate copper carriage.
"Although this carriage is broken, the door curtains and curtains are made of phantom rabbit fur dyed with the juice of black vine flowers. This is the favorite method of the border barbarians near the Dragon Snake Mountains. It is breathable but keeps out the cold.
Moreover, it is waterproof and does not rot." The young man named Li, who had a dark complexion and stood out from the crowd, sneered: "Those two gray horses are both barbaric gray horses. They look inconspicuous, but they have the strongest endurance and can travel thousands of miles at night.
, and now such war horses have become so exhausted... This carriage may have come from a barbarian place near Longshe. And you don't want to think about it, when we came, no one from Qingluan College came to lead the way.
It was only when we got here that people from the courtyard came to explain."
The surrounding teenagers were immediately horrified, "So, could it be that this shabby carriage was actually recommended by an extremely high-ranking person in the border area?"
"I do have some knowledge, but I'm just too showy. If I say he's not knowledgeable enough, he's just a local bumpkin who has just made his fortune, but he's scolded a lot of people. I don't know how much hatred he's made with just one sentence."
Not far away, a thin young man in a yellow shirt looked on with cold eyes and sneered in his heart.
Among this group of thousands of young people, there are countless arrogant and talented people.
"You really won't give in?" The burly middle-aged man driving the car didn't look at the young talents among them. He didn't expect that this broken carriage would refuse to give in to him, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
He uttered four words ferociously.
"I'm afraid this won't be a cause for trouble." Most of the teenagers who were watching the fun excitedly were a little disappointed when they saw Xia Yubing standing on one side of the two carriages, and this thought came to their minds.
But what stunned them all was that Xia Yubing was completely aloof from the incident, just watching as if watching the fun.
"Get lost." What shocked them even more was that the old man sitting at the front of the car said a simple and direct word.
"It's just looking for death!"
The one who shouted this sentence was the young man in gold shirt with a childish voice. He had already got off the car, but when he saw that the carriage that picked him up could not get off the stage, a ferocious and sinister look appeared on his young face at this moment.
"Get away!"
The burly middle-aged man driving the car seemed to have heard the order to strike. There was a loud bang and a black python-skin riding crop was rolled towards the old man.
But at this moment, everyone saw that the old and tired old man suddenly rushed towards the burly middle-aged man in front of him like a hunting falcon. The thick black python leather riding crop was like a dark cloud, coming from him
passed over his head. In everyone's shocked eyes, this tired old man, with a terrifying bloody aura, punched the burly middle-aged man on the bridge of his nose.
The moment his fist made contact with the bridge of his nose, a layer of light appeared on the old man's fist and on the face of the burly middle-aged man, "Crack!" But the old man's figure just flickered and he jumped back to the front of his car, and
The burly middle-aged man's entire nose was completely crooked, and he opened a mess shop on his face. With a face full of disbelief and horror, he flew out and landed heavily on the ground in an extremely miserable manner.
The two gray horses, which seemed to be exhausted, also exhaled fiercely at this time and made a deep sound. The four red horses on the opposite side, which were so arrogant before taking a breath, were frightened.
In panic, he dragged the carriage and ran out sideways.
The young man in golden shirt who was fierce and domineering just a breath ago seemed to have lost his soul, and his face was pale.
