The four horses and horses rushed to the city gates one after another. Then the defenders at the city gate became busy. The people at the city gate accelerated their pace amid the urging of the soldiers, and the city gate was then closed.

At the same time, two inconspicuously dressed people stood dozens of steps away from the North City Gate in a daze. "Sir, what should I do now?" asked the young man next to the young man. The young man sighed, "It seems that I will go back to the inn first!" The young man was surprised, "But, aren't they going to catch the gentleman?" The young man smiled confidently, "Is the most dangerous place in Ziwang, actually the safest place?"

The two of them immediately turned around and returned to the inn a quarter of an hour later. At this moment, there was no abnormality in the inn. The heroes from all over the country were excitedly discussing today's palace examination.

The two walked through the front hall and came to the back hall. It was much quieter than in front. When they came to their own room, they pushed open the door. The two were stunned and saw that there were several people sitting in the room. To be precise, they were sitting alone and several people standing.

"Sir!" the young man screamed in horror. The young man sighed, took a few steps forward, and bowed to the man sitting in the middle, "Ge Liang, a grass man, pays homage to Your Majesty!" When the young man heard this, he almost jumped up in shock, and then his legs softened and fell to the ground.

Chen Chu smiled and looked at the young man in front of him up and down a few times, "Ge Liang! It should be Zhuge Liang."

Zhuge Liang sighed and smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise! It's Zhuge Liang!"

Chen Chu stood up and walked to Zhuge Liang, "Zhuge Liang, you are so brave! You dare to deceive me with a false name!"

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Liang did this and it was a must! Please punish Liang for his crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Chen Chu smiled unquestionably, "Mr. Kong Ming is as smart as the sea, I must also know the purpose of my trip!"

Zhuge Liang bowed to Chen Chu and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not obeying the orders!"

Chen Chu frowned slightly, "Why do you think there is someone in the world who is more worthy of your life than me?"

"No! Your Majesty's civil and military skills are unparalleled in the world, but Liang really has his own difficulties!" Zhuge Liang replied helplessly.

"Oh, I want to hear it!"

"Your Majesty may know that Sun Jian has a counselor Zhuge Jin"

When Chen Chu heard this, he understood seventy or eighty-eight. He nodded and said, "I know this Zhuge Jin, and he is also one of the best strategists under Sun Wen Tier!" He turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled, "I also know that this Zhuge Jin is your brother!"

Zhuge Liang thought Chen Chu was guessing based on his surname, but he was not surprised and nodded, "It's true! My brother served Sun Jian's tent, and Your Majesty will probably bend the army south soon! Caomin really doesn't want to meet his brother on the battlefield!"

Chen Chu said with emotion: "The relationship between brothers and feet is human nature! I can understand!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang clasped his fists with gratitude.

"Mr. Kongming, this matter is actually not impossible! I think Your Majesty will agree that you will not participate in the Battle of the Southern Expedition!" Zhou Yu said on the side.

Chen Chuhu's eyes lit up, "Yes! Mr. Kongming, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists at Chen Chu with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your respect for the people! However, Sun Wentai is a decisive person. If he knew that I was under Your Majesty's command, his brother's fate would be out of control!"

Chen Chu paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his back, looking distressed. Seeing Chen Chu like this, Zhuge Liang not only felt like he met a confidant, but his brother's affairs made him dare not make an appointment with Lei Chi. He was in a dilemma and was also anxious.

Chen Chu suddenly stopped, "I have a way! Mr. Kong Ming, if I can bring Zhuge Jin's family to Luoyang, would you be willing to help me pacify the world and conquer the four barbarians?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel excited and immediately bowed to Chen Chu: "If this is the case, Liang would like to do his best!"

Chen Chu couldn't help but be overjoyed, helped Zhuge Liang up, patted his arm suddenly, and laughed: "Okay! I got Kong Ming just like King Wu got Jiang Shang!"

"Your Majesty is a mistake!" Zhuge Liang said modestly and asked, "I dare to ask your Majesty how he brought his brother and his family to Luoyang."

Chen Chu smiled and said, "With Kong Ming's wisdom, I must have guessed that I have a group of people who are loyal to performing special tasks under my command."

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Today's civil storm in Goguryeo must be the credit of these deathful men!" Then he looked, "Your Majesty, are you actually planning to let these elites take risks?" Zhuge Liang looked very surprised.

Chen Chu smiled, "I did not arrange a shadow troops in Jiangxia!" Chen Chu seemed to remember something, and hesitant flashed between his eyebrows and continued, "I have arranged a considerable number of shadow troops in Jingzhou. I will order a part of the shadow troops from Jingzhou to sneak into Jiangxia, waiting for an opportunity to take Zhuge Jin and his family out of Jiangdong!"

Zhuge Liang frowned and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you must not affect the plan to go south because of Liang! If the plan to go south encounters any twists and turns due to Liang's sake, then Liang will have no face to face the people of the world!"

After hearing this, Chen Chu couldn't help but look up to Zhuge Liang two more points and smiled: "Mr. Kong Ming, don't worry about this! The target of the first wave of attacks was not Jingzhou. I still have time to transfer the new Shadow Force to Jingzhou!"

"I feel relieved if I am so bright!" Then Zhuge Liang suddenly knelt down to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu was stunned, "Mr. Kongming, what are you doing?" and he wanted to help Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang persistently bowed to Chen Chu and said, "Your Majesty values ​​weeds and people so much, and they cannot repay you. You can only repay your Majesty with what you have learned throughout your life!"

Hearing this, Chen Chu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew that what Zhuge Liang said meant that Zhuge Liang had already decided to serve him wholeheartedly!

Chen Chu quickly helped Zhuge Liang up, showing an extremely relieved look on his face.

Chen Chu stayed at Zhuge Liang for about an hour, then left the inn and returned to the palace. That night, Chen Chu ordered people to pass on Feige's letter to Jingzhou, and at the same time ordered the Luoyang Shadow Force headquarters to send two additional Shadow Forces to Jingzhou.

A few days later, the results of the palace examination were announced. Zhuge Liang undoubtedly ranked first, but his name on the imperial list was Ge Liang. A day later, Chen Chu summoned everyone in Xuanzheng Hall. After a series of red tape, Chen Chu appointed everyone as county magistrate, county minister and county magistrate according to his ranking. What is strange is that Chen Chu did not have any official title of the first name of the palace examination, "Ge Liang"!

Then Zhou Yu and Jia Xu led everyone to the central government office in front of Xuanzheng Hall, where everyone received official documents and other items.

The imperial examination, which had a great influence in the world, has come to an end successfully since then. Some people ridiculed it, some envied it, and some people were even more nervous about the new Qin Dynasty.

After the imperial examination, the Qin Dynasty returned to peace, but the princes knew that the Qin Empire's army that unified the world would set off a wave of war at any time.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On that day, Chen Chu received a document from the Western Regions, which was issued by Zhao Yun. After reading it, Chen Chu was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to call Jia Xu and Zhou Yu.

On February 22, the secret spies lurking in Kushan sent intelligence to the Western Regions Protectorate that Anxi had cedeed hundreds of miles of land to Kushan in order to temporarily alleviate the pressure on the eastern front. However, the Kushan Empire broke its promise and, half a month after Anxi transferred the army on the eastern front, suddenly sent 300,000 troops to attack the eastern defense line. The eastern territory immediately smoked smoke. The unexpected Anxi garrison troops were defeated and retreated rapidly to the depths of the country for more than a hundred miles and hundreds of miles of land suddenly became lost. At the same time, Kangju, in the northeast of Anxi, also joined forces with some small countries and nomadic tribes around to gather 100,000 troops to attack Anxi, and the territory of more than a hundred miles northeast of Anxi was declared decayed in a short time. Anxi, the 400,000 coalition forces in Kangju went westward, as if they were unstoppable.
