Chapter 11: Test

Obviously it was just under the dynasty.
He slowly stood still in the morning light, and looked towards them. There is frost in those black eyes that smile very warmly and kindly. The thin and graceful lip line slightly evoked, with lines that looked like a smile but not a smile.
"Meet Concubine Hui." Yan Su politely said to Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui smiled and exempted her.
Yan Su tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Jiu. The raised eyebrows looked unpredictable. He didn't say much, and took the lead in the direction of Yushufang.
Concubine Hui's face was a little gloomy, the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and her brows were frowned with some concern.
Qin Jiu is not unconcerned, because she knows that meeting Yan Su here today is definitely not accidental.
The chief next to Emperor Qing saw Hui Feiluan driving and greeted him with a quick walk.
"This is Qin Jiu, the master of Jianjia Sect of Tianchen Palace. I have come to visit your Majesty today. I have troubled Li Gonggong to tell me." Huifei said.
Grandpa Li bowed and bowed and said: "The next minister knocks on the concubine Hui. The king of Anling and Su Xiang and last year's Xinkewu champion are facing the saint in the imperial study room, and ask the concubine to wait." Concubine Hui nodded.
After a while, the little came over and preached: "Concubine Xuanhui, see by the master of Jianjia!"
Qin Jiu followed Concubine Hui and entered the imperial study room. Going around a screen of crystal stone, you can see Emperor Qing sitting in front of the dragon case. Wearing a bright yellow uniform with a collar and narrow sleeves, he looks handsome and elegant in his forties, with wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and lips, and his complexion is a little pale, and he doesn't look very good. There are not many attendants in the house, there are only two little eunuchs, one holding a cup and one grinding.
Three people sat on the chair under Long An's head. Sitting in the first place is naturally Anling Wang Yan Su, and next to him is an old man with white beards. Qin Jiu scans a little and knows that he is Prime Minister Su Qingsu. Another young man dressed in a black shirt had just come in with Yan Su, the new champion Xie Dichen.
Qin Jiu and Concubine Hui visited Emperor Qing, exempted the ceremony and flattened, and gave a seat. Emperor Qing asked Qin Jiu: "I don't know if Sect Master is good?"
Qin Jiu got up and replied: "Everything is fine with the lord, thank you for your concern."
Emperor Qing nodded and said: "I originally thought that this time Lian Sect Master would send a male disciple over, not wanting to be a woman."
Yan Su stood up and said: "Father, since even the suzerain has sent the Qin Sect Master to serve for the court, I think the Qin Sect Master has something to do with Wen Tao and Martial Arts. The sons and ministers also want to see."
Su Xiang also said with interest: "Your Majesty, although I have always had the rules for disciples of the Tianchen Sect to enter the official position, but for so many years, I have been admitted in an exceptional way, without participating in the imperial examination and the palace exam. Is it really talented? The old minister would like to see it. If it is not as rumored, your Majesty can ask Tianchenzong for another substitution."
Xie Dichen also got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just heard your Highness say that he had met the master of Qin by chance last night, and the two had no intention of discussing it because they did not know who the master of Qin was. We also wanted to discuss with the master of Qin. Discuss, hope your majesty will be able to."
Yan Su smiled and said, "The emperor will treat this as a palace test. If the Qin Sect master wins, he can stay. If he loses..."
Yan Su didn't finish speaking, but Qin Jiu understood what he meant. If he lost, it would be nothing more than taking a job or retreating to Tianchen Sect. Of course the latter is unlikely. After all, the Tianchen Sect should not be underestimated no matter the forces in the ruling and opposition parties, it still has to give face.
Qin Jiu watched Yan Su, Su Xiang and Xie Dichen sing and sing together, and his Feng eyes narrowed slightly. Obviously, these three people were prepared to appear in the Yushufang.
The assassination last night was naturally not a discussion. Those three sergeants must have told Yan Su of her identity as Tianchen Sect, and Yan Su had moved to murder. With his temperament, naturally he would not attack a woman who snatched his lantern. Now, to put it lightly, the assassination has become a discussion. Yan Su clearly knew that she was injured, but now he brought last year's Wu champion to test her, and it was obvious that he wanted to force her back.
Concubine Hui said with a dissatisfied expression: "Your Majesty, it is a bit unfair to let Ajiu and Wu Zhuangyuan compete."
Su Xiang sneered and said: "What's unfair? If you can't beat Wu Zhuangyuan, isn't Wen Tao and Wu Lue talking nonsense! Why do you want to admit disciples from Tianchen Sect?"
Emperor Qing laughed and said, "I haven't seen the martial arts test for a long time, so it's better to learn from each other. It doesn't matter if you win or lose."
The emperor had agreed. Knowing that Concubine Hui could not avoid it, she gave Qin Jiu a helpless look.
Qin Jiu weighed it down. She knew her current martial arts very well. If she was not injured last night, she could have a fight with Xie Dichen today. It’s just that it’s hard to beat the injury.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if I can postpone the day of the test? The girl came all the way, her body was slightly unwell, and she was afraid that she could not respond with all her strength." Qin Jiu whispered.
Su Xiang and Xie Dichen obviously didn't expect Qin Jiu to shirk in such a way, and they both looked up and asked Yan Su's opinion.
Yan Su said with a smile but not a smile: "Sect Master Qin, if the enemy is going to attack the city, will you not fight because of your health?"
Emperor Qing listened in silence and snorted, "Sect Master Qin doesn't need to be too serious, just play it."
The emperor said so, and Qin Jiu knew he couldn't escape. If she had known that Yan Su would have such a trick, she would definitely heal her injury and come back to see the emperor. It was because she was not thoughtful enough and couldn't blame others.
"So, please be merciful to Master Xie!" Qin Jiu said in a salute.
It was said that they were playing with each other, but in fact, at the emperor's order, Grandpa Chang instructed the to set up the stands outside. Such a big movement quickly spread to everyone. Perhaps, someone had preached something in advance. In short, when Qin Jiu arrived at the place of competition, he saw a lot of ministers who had not left the palace waiting there.
The place of competition is located in the Imperial Garden.
In front of the garden is a large area of ​​flat land, surrounded by tall trees, which can escape the heat in summer. At this time, the trees had not yet sprouted, and they were all bare.
After Qin Jiu and Xie Dichen met and saluteed, they started fighting.
In fact, this was a fight with no suspense at all. Perhaps it was a fight that Qin Jiu would lose from the beginning.
Even so, Qin Jiu still refused to neglect, hoping that some miracle would happen. When she clung to the flower bandage and pierced the embroidery needle out. This scene really surprised everyone onlookers. If the criterion for winning is to be amazing, then Qin Jiu must be the winner.
However, the two of them did not have many tricks, and Qin Jiu's silk thread was cut off three by Xie Dichen's sword that cut iron like mud.
Qin Jiu's strength is much worse than yesterday. Not only did she suffer trauma, but her internal strength was also damaged. This kind of silk thread is made of shark silk. If enough internal force is injected, it can cut the sword. But if there is not enough internal force, it is just a little tougher than ordinary silk thread, and it will still be easily cut off.
Qin Jiu distressedly held the broken shark silk, which is not so easy to get. When she was still distressed, Xie Dichen's sword came to her with the sound of wind.
Qin Jiu twisted his body and avoided.
"I lost!" Qin Jiu said, holding the bandage.
The wound on her body was already open, and it hurts badly when she moved. She was the person most afraid of pain. Besides, she didn't want to lose Yusi again.
Xie Dichen put away his sword, turned his head to look, Qin Jiu had already begun to count the few shark silks that were left holding the flower bandage.
"Sect Master Qin, are you really playing around? You haven't lost yet!" Xie Dichen said coldly.
Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and said, "My weapon is gone, why didn't I lose?" Is it true that she must die under his sword to admit defeat? Qin Jiu walked quickly to the front of Emperor Qing, and said, "Qin Jiu is not as skilled as others, so he is willing to give up."
Su Xiang Su Qing immediately answered: "Your Majesty, it seems that the disciples of Tianchen Sect are not all outstanding."
Emperor Qing's brows narrowed slightly, as if he was hesitating how to deal with this matter.
Yan Su stepped forward and said: "Father, the son, the master of Qin Sect's martial arts, has some skills in brocade. It is better to let her work in Sizhifang first!"
Although Sizhifang is not an idle job, it is actually no different from an idle job. After going there, Qin Jiu would not be able to overcome the storm no matter how strong he was.
Emperor Qing nodded and said, "That's fine."
Qin Jiu took the post and asked when he thanked him: "Your Majesty, I wonder if the ministers can participate in this year's Chunwei test?"
Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, but did not expect Qin Jiu to propose to participate in the spring test. After thinking for a moment, he said: "It's time."
