Chapter 145 The Fourth Round
When Gong Changan arrived at the back, he saw three small main rooms, which were much smaller than the ones in front.
When I walked in, I saw that the furnishings were elegant and snacks and tea were already placed on the table.
"Just wait here!" The person who brought him said with a smile, "When you are thirsty and hungry, just help yourself."
Gong Changan thanked him and touched his stomach. It was really deflated.
I sat down, poured myself a cup of tea, and ate snacks slowly.
After eating and drinking for a long time, no one came in, so he couldn't help but yawn, and curled up on a chair to take a nap.
More than half an hour after Gong Changan came in, someone else came. Gong Changan saw that it was the man named Ye Guanghan.
"Is it just you? Why don't you see anyone else?" Gong Changan asked.
"Those who were not selected went out from the front, and only those who entered the next round came from the back." Ye Guanghan smiled at him, "Don't you know?"
"I didn't ask, and no one told me, and I still haven't passed." Gong Changan scratched his head.
"You are just a child after all," Ye Guanghan smiled, "but you are really smart."
He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea and ate some snacks.
Seeing a chessboard on the table next to him, he invited the palace chief to have a talk.
The two of them finished playing two games of chess before another person came in. This person came in looking for something to eat first.
It was already past noon and everyone was hungry.
At Weichu, a total of seven people came.
"I am the last one," said a man named Li Jia. "There are only seven people left in the fourth round."
Eleven people were eliminated in this round, leaving only a few.
The people waiting outside gathered around and asked every time someone came out.
Some of those who were eliminated were so ashamed and angry that they did not want to talk more and walked away.
Some didn't mind at all and just stood there chatting and laughing with everyone.
"Oh, this question is really tricky." After listening to it, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Zhu Hui stood there, looking straight ahead.
Feng Tianzhu and several other young people gathered around him. Qiao Ziyu shook his head and said, "They all say that Mr. Zhu is unkind, but I think that may not be the case. He cares about Chang'an as much as we do."
"I can see that he is very concerned. I'm just a little worried about his neck, which seems to have stretched an extra two inches at this moment." Feng Tianzhu whispered.
"Changshun, we are hungry, go and get some food." Xu Mang told his entourage, "Get something warm. It's a bit cold today."
It was already the end of September, and it was indeed a bit cold, but no one wanted to leave.
After a while, the entourage brought a lot of food. Qiao Ziyu held a portion in both hands and gave it to Lord Zhu: "Please use it slowly, Sir."
Zhu Hui looked at it, took out some money from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Ziyu: "Thank you, thank you very much, but I can't take your money for free."
It wasn't until Qiao Ziyu collected the money that he picked up the bowl and slowly drank the bowl of noodle soup.
In the past, when Sanjing Academy came to select disciples, he had never been so concerned.
But this year was different. Originally, he thought Gong Changan was just here to have fun. Who would have thought that Jing could pass the first test easily?
This surprised him very much, and he felt that this child was extraordinary. But he didn't have high hopes. After all, there were several rounds of written examinations ahead, and Gong Caian was too young.
Unexpectedly, the second round passed by again, and even after waiting for a long time for the third round, he didn’t come out.
The longer the time goes by, the greater the expectations in his heart will inevitably be. If this child could really enter the Three Paths Academy, then... He told himself not to think too much, but he couldn't help but think too much.
Finally, the last eliminated person came out.
Mr. Huaying came out to announce the list of candidates for the fourth round, and Gong Changan's name was at the first place.
"Awesome! Chang'an! You are indeed my sworn brother!" Feng Tianzhu didn't even bother to swallow the food in his mouth and sprayed it everywhere.
Several other people were also encouraged: "Awesome! It's really awesome! Chang'an is really good at this!"
These children were sincerely happy for Gong Changan, but they didn't feel the slightest bit jealous.
"Hehehe, our faces are bright. If I didn't insist on coming today, how could Chang'an take the written examination?" Qiao Ziyu said proudly, "In the future, people will know that our brother has entered the Three Paths Academy, hey! Discipline them until they are jealous!”
"You are the number one hero!" Xu Mang said, "Thanks to you."
"Master Zhu, your soup has spilled." Feng Tianzhu reminded Zhu Hui while wiping his hands, "It has burned my hands."
"Oh, oh!" Zhu Hui woke up suddenly and quickly straightened the bowl, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
In fact, not only were they happy, other people were also talking about Gong Changan.
"This Gong family's doll is really amazing! The next generation is to be feared! The next generation is to be feared!"
"That child is smart at first glance, and he is definitely not a creature in a pool!"
But Gong Changan couldn't hear these discussions. At this time, the seven of them had been led to an open space.
There are swords, guns, bows and arrows, stone piers and other objects all around.
"Why does this look like a martial arts arena?" Everyone said, "Are we going to take a martial arts test?"
Then the masters also came forward wearing big cloaks, and everyone hurriedly paid their respects.
"Everyone, this is the fourth and final round of the competition." Mr. Huaying said with a smile, "This fourth round will not test writing or mathematics, but will test your physical strength.
As long as you show what you are good at on this ground and can catch the eyes of the masters, you will pass. ”
Several people looked at each other, and a few of them looked like white-faced scholars, unable to restrain a chicken.
On weekdays, only reading is the only thing you can do. Have you ever exercised?
But now that we've reached this point, we have to give it a try.
Arrange them in order by age and play one by one
Xiao Manlang was the first one. After careful consideration, he felt that he could not wield a sword, but he could barely draw a bow a few times.
So he picked up his bow and arrows, and immediately the disciples from the Academy set up the target.
Xiao Manlang used all his strength to draw the bow and aimed at the target, but he shot three arrows in a row, but none of them hit the target.
He also wanted to shoot the fourth arrow but was stopped: "Three arrows have passed, no more shots can be fired."
The second person to appear was Lu Song. He picked up a sword and tried his best to imagine that he was a swordsman, swinging left and right.
But he didn't expect that the sword became less and less obedient to his orders, and almost hit him several times.
After that, he staggered and barely managed to stand, but he was also panting from exhaustion.
The third one is Ye Guanghan. He also chose a sword. Unlike Lu Song, he has a strong and vigorous posture. He dances a sword like a purple electric sword, which is dazzling.
After finishing the move, holding the moon in his arms, his face is not red, and he is not out of breath. It can be seen that he has a good foundation.
The remaining few people were good and bad, and finally arrived at Gong Changan.
Those people looked at him with sympathy. After all, what could such a tiny child do?
