"Here is here! Here!"

When the sun rose to the highest point of the sky and the shadow of the flagpole in front of the restaurant almost disappeared, the scholars who had been paying attention to the wide street outside the Zhuangyuan Building shouted excitedly in unison.

This call caused countless people to stand up and lean their heads and open their heads out of the building. This naturally included the Lianghuai scholars who were still arguing endlessly. At this moment, everyone threw away other things, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at the red figures coming along the road. They rode their horses, just like arrows off the strings, but even so, in the eyes of all the scholars, they were still running too slowly!

According to the strict order of Luoyang Prefecture, there are no horses allowed in the capital and the market, but there are exceptions to the regulations. Military information can run all over the city when they urgently report the list, and when the good news is announced every three years, the soldiers who post the news can also run with all their might and are not held accountable. These people and horses who galloped in the way are naturally here to report the good news.

When they rushed straight to the front of the top scholar building, several knights skillfully dismounted, holding a red cloth bag in their hands, shouting loudly: "The results will be announced, and I am very happy!" As they spoke, they rushed into the building. In an instant, the scholars on each floor stood up and surrounded them. Someone asked anxiously: "Is it... where is the good news?"

According to the rules, the soldiers who came to report the good news came according to the region. Under the gaze of everyone, the first person had already taken out the good news from the bag and shouted: "There are 37 people in Jiangnan Province this year to be awarded the tribute scholars. Congratulations to all the masters!" As he said that, he took out the first good news and read it loudly, "Congratulations to Mr. Li, Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan, on the year of the high school examination..."

"Hahaha..." A scholar in his thirties on the third floor suddenly burst into laughter, his face full of excitement and joy and turned red. The companions around him came forward to congratulate him: "Brother Li is indeed worthy of being the number one talented man in Jiangnan. He can even win the first place in this exam. I am afraid that you will be the top scorer in the next palace exam!"

After a burst of ecstasy laugh, Li Fang came to her senses and quickly bowed to thank her, and then said modestly: "I dare not, there are countless talents in the world, and I am just lucky enough to win the Huiyuan. I may not have such luck next time."

The soldier had quickly gone upstairs and presented the good news with both hands, congratulating him repeatedly. In the face of joy, Li Fang took out a large ingot of silver to reward him, in return for his waves of flattery. Then he took out the second good news and read it loudly. Of course, he was also a candidate in Jiangnan. Moreover, this person was one of the leaders of the Five Classics, and he was immediately happy.

Seeing this, the scholars from other places were really envious, and their eyes continued to circulate on the remaining soldiers who reported the good news, waiting for them to tell their identities and where they were sending the good news.

After the thirty-four lucky people in Jiangnan were announced, the sixty or seventy people were happy or sad. After a while of liveliness, the second soldier took a step forward and said loudly: "All the capital of the capital, twenty people will win this year..."

With the cheers of the scholars on the fourth floor, the soldier hurried up. Li Ling looked up at this scene on the second floor, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the strength of the imperial examinations in Jiangnan and Jingji was so strong. You should know that more than 2,000 participants in each examination were held, but more than 150 people were truly on the list. Now these two provinces together occupy more than one-third of the quota, but the other twenty provinces have less than 100 seats left...

"There are 15 high school tribute scholars in Huainan this year..." With this shout, Li Ling finally came to his senses a little. Then the Huainan scholars beside him all cheered. Dai Wanchun and others even set their eyes on the soldiers who had already strided, and they just wanted to grab him and ask if he had passed the exam.

After hearing this number, the candidates in Huaibei obviously changed their expressions, and they were full of worry. There were 15 people in Huainan who passed the imperial examination, which was more than before, and they were just a little worse than the capital.

"Congratulations to Mr. Qi, Wei Sheng, who was ranked fourth in this high school exam, won the leader of the Five Classics..." When the soldiers sent the good news, this scholar, who was in his forties and was not very eye-catching among the scholars in Huainan, was overjoyed and grinned. After a while, he realized, quickly stepped forward to receive the good news, and took out the silver money to reward the soldiers.

Li Ling's eyes turned, but found that Cui Yuan's expression suddenly became tight. He was obviously worried that he would be compared by this fellow villager. The next thing was even more unexpected to the talented man in Huainan, because with the soldiers' speeches, the names of the candidates on the high school list came out one by one, but Cui Yuan's name did not appear, and he was already called more than 80.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao, Wen Qi, the 112th place in this high school exam..." After saying this name and sending the good news to the scholar who was also happy, the soldier's bag was empty and there was no other good news!

At this moment, many people also noticed something strange and looked at Cui Caizi, who was already pale. Dai Wanchun, who was ranked 82nd in the tribute rank, couldn't help but speak, "Brother, have you missed something? Why did my talented man in Huainan Cui Yuan and Cui Huairen not pass the test?"

The soldier smiled politely: "The master is joking. How could there be any mistakes in such a big matter? The young people were ordered to send good news based on the list that had been posted outside the tribute court. There was no possibility of any mistakes." After that, he bowed and quickly turned around and left.

This time, Cui Yuan's face was as pale as paper, his body shook again and again, and almost fell down. Fortunately, his companion next to him helped him, so he helped him sit back on the chair. But he was completely lost and muttered: "How...How is it possible..." He couldn't believe that he couldn't even pass the imperial examination!

Li Ling and other scholars in Huaibei were so gloating at this moment, but they felt sad in their hearts. Even a famous talent like Cui Yuan failed in this exam. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for him to win?

Even Li Ling was also having a rapid heartbeat at this moment, and he couldn't help but look at the surroundings. However, the next few soldiers reported it to be happy elsewhere, but it had nothing to do with Huaibei. After reporting it, he left quickly.

In this way, the scholars of Huaibei were suffering, looking up at the streets outside. Whenever a touch of red came from the end of the street, they would look at them eagerly, but after several times, they were disappointed. Or they either went directly into other nearby restaurants, or they would convey good news elsewhere, but they had nothing to do with Huaibei.

At this time, Dai Wanchun and the others no longer cared about comforting Cui Yuan, who was lost. Many scholars in Huainan looked at their opponents with a smile: "At this moment, the good news of the trial list in various places has been almost spread. Could it be that your Huainian army will be wiped out this time?"

"Tsk tsk, it's not impossible. After all, there were some places that had not been granted Jinshi several times before, such as wild places such as southern Yunnan and the South China Sea, or the three northern provinces that have always valued martial arts and neglected literature... However, there is actually a province in the Central Plains that has not been admitted to a tribute student, which is unprecedented."

Flashes of sarcasm came towards us, and the scholars in Huaibei all looked gloomy, but they could not refute it. Many people's hearts continued to sink and they did not dare to stay here for a long time.

Any situation can indeed happen in the imperial examination, just like Cui Yuan in front of him. Everyone originally decided that he could be the leader of the Five Classics in high school, but he still failed?

Just as everyone was worried about gains and losses, Tao Yun suddenly said, "Someone is here again, it's coming to our top scholar building!"

After hearing this, everyone's spirit suddenly became excited. Sure enough, a soldier got off the horse and stepped into the building. After standing a little, he said loudly: "The tribute scholars in Huaibei Province are here!" Perhaps because of the lateness, he did not directly report the specific numbers for the exam. With his voice, everyone in Huaibei felt his heart beating faster, and someone shouted loudly: "Here is here!"

The soldier hurried upstairs and saluted everyone, and immediately gave a happy report: "Congratulations to Mr. Xu, Mr. Jiangcheng County, Hengzhou Prefecture, Huaibei, for his third place in this high school examination, and won the top five classics..."

This time, Xu Cang acted much calmer than when he passed the provincial examination. At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, he just stood up gently, looked at Li Ling deeply with gratitude, and then stepped forward to take the good news and handed over a small ingot of silver to the other party: "I'm working hard." This silver was brought by himself. If Li Ling hadn't taken care of everything, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to give the reward silver now.

After the soldiers thanked for taking the money, they quickly reported the next name, but Tao Yun, who was ranked sixth. He was actually one of the leaders of the Five Classics, and then eight other scholars from Huaibei. The last one had reached the 147th place... but Li Ling's name was still missing.

At this moment, Li Ling's breathing became rapid. Is it just a step behind in the end that he still couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, so he could only do business as a Juren?

Xu Cang also felt Li Ling's thoughts, the joy on his face faded quickly, and he stared at the other person uneasy.

In Huainan, Dai Wanchun, who still remembered the two sides' betting, let out a breath. It's so dangerous. If someone in Huainian is on the list, according to the previous comparison method, the two places will have to tie!
