Outside the government office, several young men who were waiting for their master in the alley next door saw this scene. They quickly came over, clasped their fists and saluted Wei Tu and others, and asked what the government office wanted to do with summoning so many martial arts masters at night.
thing.
"Master Fu, is it dangerous for my young master to enter the government office? The master and grandma are still worried."
The leading boy knew Fu Zhizhou and asked in a tight voice.
"The prefect is looking for us, the modern martial arts masters, just to get acquainted with each other."
"Your young master will be out in a moment."
Fu Zhizhou made eye contact with Wei Tu and others, and then casually prevaricated to the boy.
Although they sternly rejected Magistrate He and were not involved in it, they did not dare to reveal anything about Wu Yun Tower and bring disaster to themselves and their clan.
The four of them all understood the principle that if things were kept secret, they would lose their virginity. Otherwise, they would not risk offending Magistrate He this time and flatly refuse.
I heard this vague answer.
The few servants did not dare to ask further questions, but correspondingly, they felt more reassured. At least... it was not dangerous for their young master to enter the government office.
At this time, the servants from Fu Zhizhou's family and the servant sent by Shan Yangong also rushed over to wait on them.
After the four of them asked the boy to go home and report that he was safe, they set off and walked along the street in the direction of Xuanhe Building.
…
Half an hour later.
Xuanhe Building.
After three rounds of drinking, it was almost dawn.
After Fu Zhizhou saw Wei and Tu having a good time with wine and dinner, he didn't hesitate and immediately asked the waiter to call the shopkeeper and asked him to prepare a series of things including the incense table and the sworn vows.
"Are you serious?" Wei Tu was secretly surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that Fu Zhizhou didn't tell lies and sworn brothers with the three of them after leaving the government office.
At that time, people valued trustworthiness.
Especially among martial arts masters, sworn brothers who form a blood alliance are closer than their own flesh and blood brothers. If you violate the "Golden Orchid Oath", you will be despised by the world and reviled forever.
After all, flesh and blood brothers are born, and those who can become Jinlan brothers are people who share the same love.
However, this matter had a lot of benefits for Wei Tu himself, so he did not stop it, but was happy to see the outcome of this matter.
Fu Zhizhou and the others were able to see the danger of the Wuyun Tower incident in the government office, and they were able to withstand the pressure of He Zhifu - this undoubtedly proves that Fu Zhizhou and the others have great vision and perseverance.
In addition, the three of them, like him, are all martial arts masters who are famous and ranked at the top of the current Taoist examination, which shows that the potential of the three of them is not small.
The four of them had similar starting points and the same goal, and they had a foundation of trust to resist Magistrate He...
It can be said that there is no one more suitable than them to become brothers and seek a future together.
Lean less.
In a private room in Xuanhe Building, there was an incense table with three animals, an incense burner, a live chicken, a jar of wine, and a book on it.
There are three characters "Jin Lan Pu" written on the cover of the book.
Next.
The four people are ranked according to their age and seniority.
Among the four,
Kou Liang is twenty-four years old, the oldest, and is considered the eldest brother by Wei and Tu.
Wei Fei is the second oldest at 23 years old, making him the second brother among the four.
Later, there were Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou.
After Fu Zhizhou reported his age, Wei Tu and Wei Fei were a little dumbfounded. They did not expect that Fu Zhizhou, the most skilled martial artist, was not old enough this year and was only eighteen years old.
"No wonder the young man is so energetic." Seeing this, Wei Tu sighed secretly.
"My fourth brother was a famous martial arts genius when he was in Xiaoyi Mansion. I originally thought that he would participate in the next martial arts examination, but I never thought that he would participate in the current martial arts examination with me..."
After Kou Liang saw the expressions of Wei Tu and Wei Fei, he smiled slightly and said.
Finished speaking.
Kou Liang didn't say much. He took out a dagger from his waist, grabbed the wings of the live chicken on the incense table, and wiped it hard.
In an instant, the neck of the live chicken was broken, and blood splashed into the wine jar.
immediately.
Kou Liang wiped his palm with the knife again.
Red blood dripped down the tip of the knife into the wine jar.
Wei Tu, Wei Fei, and Fu Zhizhou also took the dagger and repeated Kou Liang's actions.
The blood wine in the wine jar was shaken evenly and poured into four coarse porcelain bowls.
The four of them drank blood wine together and began to pledge blood as an alliance and recite oaths together.
"The four of us are here to worship here today. The emperor and heaven are above, and the thick soil is the witness..."
"...brotherhood, trusting each other in life and death, rescuing each other in good and bad times, relying on each other in blessings and misfortunes, sharing weal and woe..."
Just recite the oath one by one.
The four people respected each other in order, and named the alliance of the four people "Yishe".
The name of the charity society was proposed by Wei Tu and was unanimously praised by Kou Liang, Wei Fei and Fu Zhizhou.
The voice fell.
this moment.
It happened to be bright outside the window.
"The results are released."
"The results of the Jinke Martial Arts Examination have been released."
Outside Xuanhe Building, there was a sudden bustle of people. Many martial arts masters walked out of the guest rooms and rushed to Wugong Courtyard in excitement, preparing to read the rankings.
"Congratulations to Fu for being ranked second in martial arts high school, second in the current martial arts examination, and a second-class martial arts scholar..."
At this time, the shopkeeper of Xuanhe Building knocked on the door of the private room and congratulated Fu Zhizhou outside the door.
Xuanhe Building is a famous building in Qingfeng Mansion. It provides all-round services. It not only provides the most basic food and accommodation services of an inn, but also provides services to help Confucian scholars and martial arts masters.
Two hours ago, Fu Zhizhou had already spent money and asked Xuan Helou to read the list.
Therefore, after the results were released and Fu Zhizhou's ranking was known, shopkeeper Xuanhelou immediately stopped what he was doing and came to Wei Tu's private box to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, fourth brother."
"Winning the second place in the Middle Road Examination, and becoming a first-class martial arts scholar."
Wei Tu and others expressed their joy.
Although they had known for a long time that Fu Zhizhou had done well in the road test, now that the ranking was confirmed, it was still something worth celebrating.
"I just don't know what I'm waiting for..."
Wei Fei looked worried.
Although he didn't think that Governor He had the strength to intervene in the Taoist examination list, but what if, if he failed in the martial arts examination and lost his fame...
Listen to this.
Wei Tu also felt worried.
"rest assured."
"Prefect He doesn't dare to mess around. An official like him seeks stability. Even if he has the ability, he wouldn't dare to touch the Dao Examination List."
Fu Zhizhou suppressed his smile and comforted his three newly recognized sworn brothers.
"Shopkeeper, please go slowly." At this moment, the voice of the waiter at Xuanhe Building sounded outside the house.
The waiter panted and said, "I haven't finished telling you the names of the guests in Tianzi Room 3 yet."
"What?"
"Among the other three people, are there any who have entered the Taoist test list?"
When the shopkeeper of Xuanhe Building heard this, he looked surprised. Although he didn't say this sentence, the expression on his face showed it.
The Taoist test is not an easy task. It is a blessing that one of the four people is selected. How could there be a second person among the four?
"The guests in Tianzi Room No. 3 are all on the Taoist examination list posted by Wugong Academy."
The waiter replied quickly.
Then, he read out the rankings of the three Wei Tu people.
"Master Wei Tuwei, ranked twelfth in the current martial arts examination, and is a second-class martial arts scholar."
"Kou Liang... ranked 17th in the martial arts examination today and is a second-class martial arts scholar."
"Wei Fei... ranked thirty-fourth in the current martial arts examination and is a third-class martial arts scholar."
