章 736: 702

February 26th.

Early morning.

The entire Imperial Capital was abuzz with noise, and the accumulated snow on the branches was shaken clean off.

At the entrance to Jiangwu Hall in the western part of the city, there was a huge crowd of people chattering and whispering, discussions buzzing everywhere.

The holidays had long passed, and the Lantern Festival had been celebrated for nearly ten days. It was supposed to be time to get serious and go back to work, but today marked the initial selection of the Military Exam in the Imperial Capital, a triennial event!

This excitement was not to be missed, or else one would feel left out in everyday conversations.

The Dashun Military Exam consisted of five main events.

Strength, Technique, Archery, Strategy, and Combat.
