When Liu Xie heard everyone's response, he just nodded, and then looked at Li Jichen.

"Li Qing, I remember there are people from the Heavenly Soldiers participating in this competition. How is the situation now?" Liu Xie looked at Li Jichen and asked.

As soon as they heard Liu Xie ask about this matter, Li Jichen and Jiang Yi looked a little unnatural on their faces.

How should I put it, before the civil and military competition started, Li Jichen and Jiang Yi could be said to be full of confidence.

I feel that no matter how bad my players are, there will still be a large number of players who can enter the semi-finals.

But in fact, reality taught them a hard lesson.

Tens of thousands of players participated in the martial arts competition, but only five players were able to advance.

In addition to Jingtian and Hanliang who have been introduced before, there are also several martial arts practitioners who are well-known in the Dragon Kingdom.

They are He Yiwu, Guo Ju and Lingyun respectively.

These three people, like Jing Tian and others, are also internet celebrities, but these people all have real skills.

】

Especially Guo Ju, he is the successor of Gu'ang Quan in the Dragon Kingdom.

This boxing technique, which has been handed down since ancient times, mainly uses hard parts such as knees and elbows to attack the more vulnerable parts of others. It can be said that it has strong lethality.

He followed a hard path, which was very suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Therefore, Guo Ju was able to gain a lot of points on the battlefield and then learn more boxing techniques.

It can be said that Guo Ju is extremely popular among players now, also because his boxing skills are really hard.

However, even so, there are only these five single seedlings left among more than ten thousand players, and there is no telling how far these five single seedlings can go.

It can only be said that the players misjudged the strength of the rangers in the Three Kingdoms era from the beginning.

"Your Majesty, there are only five Heavenly Soldiers who have been promoted." Li Jichen thought for a while and told Liu Xie the truth.

Liu Xie nodded when he heard Li Jichen's words. This result did not surprise him much.

After all, this is the Three Kingdoms era. Let's put it this way, although the Three Kingdoms era was short in Chinese history, its influence was far-reaching.

I don’t know why, but the civil servants and generals that countless other dynasties coveted appeared in spurts during the Three Kingdoms era.

Let’s not talk about people like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who are enemies of ten thousand people, but people like Zhang He, Zhang Ren, and Zhou Tai can be said to be great generals and good generals in other dynasties.

But in the era of the Three Kingdoms, the generals could only be considered first-rate or second-rate, not the top ones.

As for counselors, this is even more true. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are still admired by so many people after so many years.

Therefore, Liu Xie thinks it is good that players can achieve such results in such a big environment.

Besides, this is still the first civil and military competition, many hidden dragons have not yet been born, and the time for players to start practicing is still short.

After all, the players have been practicing for more than a year or two, so how can they compare to those who have been practicing for more than ten years or even decades?

"There are five people? Not bad." When Liu Xie heard Li Jichen say that five people had advanced, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"These five people, wait until the martial arts competition is over, and bring them to see me."

"Here!" When Li Jichen heard Liu Xie's words, he immediately understood what Liu Xie was thinking.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the five of them." Li Jichen immediately said to Liu Xie.

"Okay, okay, that's it for today. Go down and make all the arrangements for the civil and military competition. Don't make any mistakes."

"Here!" Li Jichen and others heard Liu Xie's words and immediately responded, then exited Liu Xie's study.

Since there are only 500 scholars participating in the liberal arts competition, the first round examines the foundation of the scholars to prevent anyone from making up the numbers.

But in fact, there are really not many people eliminated in this round, only a few dozen people.

The second round was also written by Liu Xie himself, with the famous saying "Cultivate oneself, harmonize one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world" as the title.

After this round, only fifty of the original five hundred scholars remained.

In the third round, Liu Xie still set the questions, but since the scholars had been taking assessments for two consecutive days, Liu Xie was very humane and gave them an extra day to rest.

In the early morning of the third day, Liu Xie didn't even hold a court meeting, so he asked Yu Linwei to bring the scholars over.

When Zhuge Liang and the others returned to Liu Xie's hall, they found that Liu Xie had already asked his servants to prepare some eucalyptus.

The scholars walked into the hall in order, and after greeting Liu Xie, they sat down.

"You great talents, I am very happy to see you here again today."

"The fact that you can sit here again is enough to prove that you are our great talents, so I have decided that no matter what the outcome is after this liberal arts competition, as long as you are willing, I will reward you."

"So, I hope that all the talented people can relax a little bit and try to write better articles."

"This liberal arts competition is the third and final round. After this round, the imperial court will select the top ten and award them with official positions."

"If you don't get into the top ten, don't be discouraged. I will also suit your talents."

"Since this is the third round, I don't want it to be so complicated. Today I will give the questions orally. You can choose one of the two questions I asked to answer."

"Of course, if you are confident in yourself, you can answer both questions, but I think if you are not sure, it is better to choose one."

"After all, I feel that there is a specialization in the art, and it takes more time to learn to become more refined." Liu Xie said, and looked at Pang Tong's position.

Pang Tong felt Liu Xie's gaze, and he immediately understood that this was what Liu Xie said specifically to him.

He estimated that in the last round of the palace examination, he was the only one who had the courage to answer all the questions without even guessing.

Here you may ask again, why can Pang Tong know the test questions?

This is quite fantasy to say the least. After Pang Tong came to Luoyang, he accidentally came to a bookstore.

Pang Tong loved reading books since he was a child, so he wanted to see what good books there were in this so-called bookstore.

After all, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, there were no bookstores. Not to mention bookstores, even books were very rare.

By chance, Pang Tong saw this famous saying. At that time, he just thought it was very reasonable. Who would have known that the emperor would just come across this saying.

No matter how mature Pang Tong behaves, in the final analysis, he is just a teenager.

In such a big occasion, he also liked to show off a little bit. So, he wrote all these sentences in a fit of anger.

After he finished writing the article and returned to the inn, he realized that there was something wrong with his behavior.

With Pang Tong's intelligence, it is not difficult to understand the importance of this liberal arts competition to the imperial court.

Since the liberal arts competition is very important, the imperial court will definitely attach great importance to the test questions and worry about leaking secrets.

I am just an ordinary scholar, how can I know these examination questions that are very important to the imperial court?

Therefore, after Pang Tong figured it out, he was always worried that the emperor would think that he had cheated and would disqualify him.
