Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1663

Chapter 1663 Examination

While Mu Fei Jiu stayed inside the carriage outside, Feng Ao Kuai walked into the venue and met with many other youths who would also take the examination this year. Many of them were wearing expensive and elegant clothes.

From the first glance, Feng Ao Kuai knew that they were the few youths from the noble families who came to take the post.

For the noble families, it was easy for them to become an official. They only needed to make sure that they were not completely stupid. Because if they were useless, the Emperor would not be willing to use them.

'He's a strict and wise Emperor.'

That was people's evaluation about Emperor Yang Zhou.

Ever since his inauguration where he took control over the entire court, the officials who could enter the court had to be examined more strictly. What Emperor Yang Zhou wanted was people he could use and not some stupid b*stard who would only take public resources for themselves.

Thus, the people who came here have already prepared themselves.

Feng Ao Kuai picked a corner to sit down and wait.

More and more people came here and one of them stopped not far from Feng Ao Kuai. His expression looked surprised and there was a slight delight amidst the alienation.

"Cousin Ao Kuai?" the young man asked tentatively.

Feng Ao Kuai blinked his eyes, looking at the young man who had some similarities with himself but not very apparent. He thought about the few people in the Capital City who were willing to get close to him and then asked, "Feng Mo Xing?"

"That's me." The young man, Feng Mo Xing smiled brightly.

Feng Mo Xing received news that his older cousin, Feng Ao Kuai, would take the examination this year too. He himself had been preparing for the examination for a long time and was finally ready.

But meeting his cousin like this was still unexpected.

"I see that you're taking the same examination." Feng Ao Kuai smiled politely. "Are you ready?"

"I have been preparing for years, so it should be fine." Feng Mo Xing nodded. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai curiously. "It's cousin that might need to prepare more."

Feng Ao Kuai had been spending a few years on the frontline. It was not a secret and many people also knew about this, which was why they thought that Feng Ao Kuai would wait for another year before taking the examination.

Thus, seeing him here still surprised some people.

Some sneered and thought that Feng Ao Kuai was overconfident while the others didn't bother with it.

They had heard about Feng Ao Kuai's deeds on the frontline and felt that he might be powerful contender. After all, there was a limit to how many people would be accepted in the officialdom each year.

If they couldn't pass this year, they could only wait another year to pass the examination.

"Don't worry. I will be fine." Feng Ao Kuai was confident in himself.

He had already reviewed the lessons and after a thorough lecture from Nan Hua when he was still at the frontline, he was very knowledgeable about the condition of the Capital City. Back then, it was nothing more than ordinary discussion with Nan Hua.

But it has become the foundation for him to take the examination now.
