Because he chatted with Fang Jingzhi and Xie Cang too late, Su Qi'an was arranged to rest in a side room of the county government office.

When Su Qi'an woke up, it was already bright outside. He glanced at the position of the sun and saw that Su Qi'an had almost slept until the third day of the sun's rays.

No wonder Su Qi'an slept so deeply. One night, he met three people one after another.

And these three people are not simple things, they are all smart people. Every sentence Su Qi'an said seems casual, but in fact he thought about it for a while.

Dealing with smart people requires a lot of effort and effort, and I happened to meet Xie Cang, a master of military affairs.

If Su Qi'an wasn't so sleepy, Xie Cang would have had to talk to Su Qi'an all night long.

After a night of tossing, Su Qi'an did not fall into a drowsy sleep. This was probably the most peaceful sleep Su Qi'an had ever had in Da Liang.

At least he won't worry about his own safety. In this Lingbei County government office, no one dares to ambush him boldly.

Attacking the county government office is tantamount to rebellion, and it is undoubtedly seeking death.

Su Qi'an got up, washed up a little, and then pushed the door open. Outside, a government servant had been waiting for a long time, saying something to Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an nodded, and the government official left immediately after informing him of the news.

This yamen servant specially sent a message for Fang Jingzhi. As early as three hours ago, Xie Cang took Fang Jingzhi and his party and left before dawn.

It was said that something was going on, but Su Qi'an understood that the marquis might have lost his temper. After fighting with Su Qi'an for a night, he was inspired and led a group of soldiers including Fang Jingzhi to suppress the bandits.

Those who were suppressed were not the bandits in Dongzi Mountain, but several other surrounding hills.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Marquis had itchy hands.

Su Qi'an didn't feel inappropriate about Xie Hou's actions. It happened that no one bothered her. If she met the Marquis now, Su Qi'an would not even think about leaving today.

After cleaning up for a while, Su Qian quietly left the county government office through the back door he entered last night.

Su Qi'an did this because he didn't want to cause trouble. After all, at this critical moment, the county examination had just ended.

On the second day after the county examination, Su Qi'an walked out of the county government gate. If anyone saw this, they would associate it with him.

Fang Jingzhi is Su Qi'an's backstage. Basically all students know this, but to do it so blatantly is too arrogant.

Leaving secretly is the best policy, as long as you and Su Qi'an never come together.

Su Qi'an went around seven or eight alleys before reaching the main road.

The main road was crowded with people, and various hawking sounds were heard one after another on the street, which sounded very lively.

Just as Su Qi'an was about to return to the inn, he stopped walking and looked around inadvertently.

Then he showed a clear expression, and then left to take care of himself.

What Su Qi'an did just now was not an unintentional act, but he sensed that a group of people with good skills were following him in the dark.

To say it's tracking, it's more accurate to say it's to protect yourself.

Su Qi'an had never seen this group of people before, but the aura on their bodies was familiar to Su Qi'an.

They were all from the Lingbei Yamen. From the conversation last night, Su Qi'an could tell that Magistrate Fang and Lord Xie valued him, so it was reasonable for him to send people to protect his safety.

Su Qi'an asked himself that almost no one in Lingbei County would dare to take action against him. Even Wei Yun, who hated him to the core, would not be stupid enough to take action in the county.

In the county town, Su Qi'an had no worries about his own safety. The county town was the safest place.

Of course, Su Qi'an would not refuse Fang Jingzhi's kindness. Since he wanted to protect him, he would let them go.

After about ten minutes, Su Qi'an finally returned to the inn where he was staying.

I don’t know whether he said hello in advance or notified him, but Su Qi’an didn’t encounter any trouble along the way, such as those fanatical fans blocking the door.

He returned to the room very relaxedly. Without these trivial worries, Su Qi An was at ease.

However, this kind of leisure was broken within two days. On the third day, Ye Chong, Qin Huai and other famous family members in Lingbei all showed up to look for Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an has shown his talents. Qin Huai and Ye Zhong will definitely not let go of this opportunity and take advantage of the limelight to let Su Qi'an interact with these powerful families.

To be honest, Su Qi'an was not interested in these rich and powerful people. If he met a dandy like Wei Yun, it would make Su Qi'an feel disgusted.

But Su Qi'an also understood Qin Huai and Ye Zhong's good intentions. If he wanted to take a step forward and live a prosperous life, he had to deal with these local snake-like aristocratic families.

Not to mention being a so-called friend, at least not an enemy. Su Qi'an was already proud of all the aristocratic families except Lingbei County.

If you are relying on your talent and arrogance to look down on the aristocratic families in Lingbei County, then you are really stupid.

So in the next two days, even if Su Qi'an was exhausted physically and mentally, he had to accompany these young men from aristocratic families to look for flowers and willows.

Although Su Qi'an was a gentleman, having this group of people in his ears made him physically and mentally exhausted after two days.

During this period, these young men originally planned to go to Chunfeng Courtyard to meet Miss Xiaowan.

Unfortunately, the answer given by the madam was that two days after Lu Xiaowan recited "Guan Ju Presents Xiaowan" on the night of Su Qi'an, he was picked up by people from the county general hospital.

Lu Xiaowan mentioned this to Su Qian, but Su Qian didn't expect that he would leave so quickly.

Juncheng Chunfengyuan's speed is too fast.

This is not to blame for Chunfeng Yuan's speed. It can only be said that even Su Qi'an did not expect that the poem he wrote that night would be spread by Chunfeng Yuan in the next two days. That guy, Lu Xiaowan's net worth would increase four to five times.

This is pretty good. The key is that the poem has already spread in Sichuandu County.

Countless wealthy and powerful families in the county and city wanted to have a glimpse of Lu Xiaowan's style.

As soon as Lu Xiaowan left, these gentlemen had no intention of staying and started noisily looking for another place.

But when Su Qi'an left, his eyes were inadvertently looking into the distance.

With Lu Xiaowan's demeanor, a small county is naturally too small, and he will leave Lingbei County soon.

A small county town is also not a place for him to show his talents.

…

Without the constraints imposed by the county examination, all the literati students staying in Lingbei County relieved their pressure in their own way.

In a blink of an eye, seven days passed quickly.

When the time came to the eighth day, those young men who had been looking for flowers and flowers before seemed to have changed. They were all wearing the best clothes.

Her hair was tied up high, and her face was so clean that she wished she could comb it several times, because today is the big day when the results of the county examination are released.

Those who win the exam will flourish from then on, while those who fail can only feel sad and take the exam next year.

Being able to see yourself in high school is the happiest time, and dressing yourself up gorgeously and cleanly is also a big deal.

All the students gathered at the entrance of the Lingbei County Government Office. Fortunately, the entrance of the Lingbei County Government Office was large enough to accommodate the six to seven hundred students.

Even before the gathering, several front row areas were divided according to the strength and background of each family.

With the talent Su Qi'an showed, he was naturally waiting in the front row area after making friends with the young master from aristocratic families in Lingbei County.

Not far from where they were gathered were Su Qi'an's old enemies Wei Yun and Song Wen.

Around them, there were also a large number of dignitaries and princes from various counties.

It's just that this time, Wei Yun and Song Wen didn't mean to be provocative in the slightest. They just waited for the results to be announced as if nothing had happened.

It's fine without their interruption.

With everyone waiting in anticipation, almost half an hour later, suddenly, the closed county government office opened.

Immediately afterwards, Master Liu slowly walked out. Beside him, there was a group of black-armored soldiers standing behind him, apparently to protect Master Liu.

This group of black-armored soldiers knew from their long aura that they were no ordinary people.

The annual ranking results are announced by Mr. Liu.

On the one hand, it recognizes Master Liu's strength, and on the other hand, it shows respect for the Lingbei County Government.

Fairness, openness, and fairness.

Master Liu stood not far in front of Su Qian and others. He looked around and cleared his throat.

Then he tore up the sealed case and slowly opened the scroll in his hand as he read his name.

"The list of high school candidates for this county examination is as follows."

"No. 50, student from Lingxi County, Zhang Dong."

"No. 49, student from Lingnan County, Chen Zhong."

With every voice of Master Liu, there were cheers coming from a certain area.

For the county examination, only fifty candidates are selected every year, and fifty candidates are selected out of six to seven hundred people, which is enough to show the difficulty of the county examination.

Every time the voice falls, what is tested is the inner pressure of many students.

Who doesn’t want to be one of the fifty best candidates in high school? Once in high school, it will be a matter of honor for one’s family.

Compared with the nervousness of other students, for a failed candidate like Su Qian, who has taken the exam more than a dozen times and failed more than a dozen times, whether he has a name or not is not that important to him.

It's the best if you can do well in high school, and it doesn't matter if you fail.

Su Qi'an turned his eyes and glanced at Wei Yun and Song Wen in the distance.

Judging from the state of the two of them, they are quite calm, giving people a feeling of having a plan in mind.

"Haha, as expected, people with a background have confidence." Su Qian sighed.
