Martial Imperial Examination, Selection of the Loyal Martial General!
Soon, a notice was posted in Yizhou City.
The commoners quickly approached the notice. Although many of them were illiterate, there were still some scholars who read it out loud."... In order to ensure the safety of Yizhou and wipe out the bandits, the military examination will be held in front of the Governor's Office today... The winner will be directly appointed as the loyal military general... Rank 4... serve the country and become famous for thousands of years..."
Whoosh--
When the surrounding commoners heard the contents of the notice, they burst into an uproar.
Everyone's eyes widened. At first, they were filled with shock, but then, their eyes lit up and they were extremely excited!
"Martial Imperial Examination?"
"If we can win, we can become the loyal general?”
"He's still a fourth-grade general!"
"This…This is simply like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, bringing honor to our ancestors!”
"This is much easier than joining the army or taking the imperial examination!”
"That's right. As long as I have some martial arts skills, I might really be able to hold my head high and soar to the sky if I'm lucky!”
"In front of the Governor's Office? Hurry up and take a look!"
Any ordinary person would have the idea of rising to the top.
Therefore, after seeing this good thing that could be said to have fallen from the sky, all the commoners who had some thoughts hurriedly rushed over.
They might not have much martial arts, but everyone had the mentality of luck. What if they were lucky?
Wouldn't that mean that he could really soar into the sky and bring glory to his ancestors?
At this moment, there were still a few people with suspicious expressions below the notice. They did not leave with the commoners.
One of them was about twenty years old. He was dressed in white, and his dark eyes occasionally flashed with a bright light. He was dressed as a martial artist and carried a bag on his back. He was originally planning to leave the city, but he happened to see this notice.
"As long as I can obtain the final victory, I can become a loyal general?”
The man pondered for a moment and recalled his wife's trust and hope for him before he left. He pursed his lips and finally turned around to change his original plan and walked into the city.
"No matter what, even if there is only a slim chance, we must fight for it!”
After he left, there were still two people who were looking at the notice with shifty eyes.
"The new Governor of Yizhou wants to choose a loyal general through a martial arts competition?”
"Could it be a trap?"
"I don't think so. Didn't you see that the commoners have already gone over?”
"Then let's hurry back and report to the Fort Master! The moment the Governor of Yizhou arrived, he killed Member Yang, leaving us without a spy. We haven't had any profits for a long time. Our Fort Master's martial arts are peerless. If he can become a general, we can rob openly in the future and not have to worry about the court!”
" Haha, that's right. This is definitely great news. Go back and report this to the Fort Master…"
Soon, the two of them ran out of the city and rushed into the mountains.
What they didn't notice was that after they left, a man took off his straw hat. He looked at the backs of these people as they left, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"As Your Highness said, there are people in Yizhou who are colluding with bandits. However, if you come, I guarantee that you won't be able to return!”
…………
At this moment, in the Grand Governor's Office.
Chu Suiliang looked at Li Ke with a bitter smile and said,""Your Highness, it's not that I want to question Your Highness 'decision, but…it's just that if Your Highness uses this method to select generals, if the final victor is a person with extremely bad character, then it will instead affect Your Highness's great plans!”
Generals in the imperial court had always been promoted bit by bit based on military merits. Moreover, whether it was their loyalty or character, they could be guaranteed, which was why they were truly given power.
But this time, Li Ke had suddenly created a martial arts examination. This really caught everyone off guard. Even Chu Suiliang couldn't understand Li Ke's intentions.
However, as Li Ke's number one adviser, he had bet all his assets on Li Ke, so even if Li Ke did not like it, he had to tell Li Ke his thoughts.
When Li Ke heard Chu Suiliang's words, he did not get angry.
He knew that Chu Suiliang was doing this for his own good, so he said calmly,""Mr. Chu, I know what you're thinking. I also know that what I did this time was indeed a little abrupt.”
"However, the order has already been issued. If I take it back, it will make the people think that this king has gone back on his word and it will be difficult for me to gain their trust.”
"Moreover, if I want to rule Yizhou in the future, I have to forge an image of being a man of my word in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Mr. Chu, just take it that I'm willful this time.”
Li Ke saw that Chu Suiliang still had a worried look on his face, so he smiled and said,""Mr. Chu, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry. If the final winner has a bad character, do you think I'll really let such a person take control of the military?”
Hearing Li Ke's meaningful words, Chu Suiliang's eyes flashed.""Your Highness, are you saying?"
Li Ke lightly smiled and immediately stood up, saying,"Let's go, let's see how strong the martial artists of Yizhou are. I hope they won't disappoint me!”
At the same time, Li Ke was also hoping: "I hope that you won't disappoint me, General Cauldron Bearing. Otherwise…what I've done will really become a joke!”
…………
When he walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he saw that an arena had already been set up outside the mansion.
Below the arena, the commoners had already surrounded it to the point that even water could not pass through. It was overcrowded.
They were all whispering below, discussing the martial arts examination. When they saw Li Ke walk up to the arena, in an instant, the people hurriedly closed their mouths and looked at Li Ke with respect and gratitude.
Although Li Ke had only been in Yizhou for ten days, he had first killed the crafty sycophants and abolished taxes. Now, he had even begun to return the money embezzled by Member Yang. In the hearts of the people, he had long been like a grand master.
Therefore, after seeing Li Ke, out of respect for him, no one said a word.
Li Ke stood on the arena and looked around at the people below. He felt the love of the people and slowly said,"The purpose of holding the martial examination today is to select people who can lead troops and protect the people of Yizhou! Therefore, anyone who had the ability and felt that they were competent could go on stage.”
"This year's Martial Examinations will adopt a elimination system. Every ten people will form a group and engage in a free-for-all battle. Whoever wins will enter the next round. The next round will be a free-for-all battle of three people.”
"And the final victor, no matter who it is, this king will confer the title of loyal general and bring honor to his ancestors! Then…"
Li Ke looked around at the eager crowd and said in a clear voice,"Martial Imperial Examination, begin!"

P.S. Some friends said that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was a popular skill. This skill was not good. Shroom Author would like to explain here. Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of skill it is. Its existence is to promote the plot.
For example, if the main character didn't have kung fu, he might have died there and there wouldn't be any subsequent plot.
Therefore, please rest assured that the author won't just randomly give out useless things. Everything will serve the story itself. This is a cool novel, but it won't be a brainless novel!
In addition, since a friend had made a suggestion, the author would also adopt it. He would try his best not to appear in the future, so that everyone would have a new feeling!
Lastly, the free things like evaluation tickets and monthly votes!
