"Two of them are my underdogs, and that's not enough." General Cheng laughed, her martial arts were not learned from the master, but from the battle, naturally different from ordinary people, his martial arts lethality discouraged Wu Zhuangyuan.

But Qiao An's eyes were a little solemn, and she pointed to a thin man behind the county king, "What about that, you also know it?" ”

"That's a ...... It seems to be a native of Fuso Island, but how do I know these birdmen? But don't worry, I can beat him too. General Cheng sneered, Shen Qiaoan looked at the man, and hurriedly approached the little prince, "Brother, do you know that guy?" ”

The little prince raised his head, glanced at it, and called out "not good", Qiao An was slightly displeased, "Who is that, you are not good?" Don't be angry with others to destroy your own prestige, tell me. The little prince nodded, "That's a samurai from Fuso Island in Toei, called Saito Jiro, he is one of the best boxers in the county palace, this person is very powerful." ”

"It's really an incomprehensible sea." Li Zhongxuan looked at the man again, and found that the man was so thin that he didn't even have a little fat, and the man's eyes were like torches, and from time to time he shot out a touch of gloom coldness.

Shen Qiaoan had heard of Fusang Island before.

It is said that it was a place where the sun was rising, and on Fuso Island, there were many ronin, who did not do anything, and only practiced martial arts on weekdays, especially their long knives, which were incomparably powerful.

Li Zhongxuan next to him raised his chin slightly, and also stared at that Saito Jiro.

That Saito Jiro stared at the two of them, but he smiled coldly, looking very empty-eyed, Shen Qiaoan looked at that Saito Jiro's waist and found that he didn't have a cold weapon today.

"He can't carry a long knife in front of the Emperor." Li Zhongxuan next to him said, unconsciously, Li Zhongxuan stretched out his hand and gently held Qiao An's hand, Qiao An nodded.

There was a little prince next to him who interjected - "Sister Qiao An, Brother Zhongxuan, to be honest, the most powerful thing in Dongying is not a crazy knife, but a ...... It's sumo. ”

"What's that?" Although Shen Qiaoan is also well-informed, when he first heard the word sumo, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Sumo?"

General Cheng approached Shen Qiao'an, so far to answer questions, "That sumo wrestling, it is also a kind of peculiar martial arts, Dongying people think about this very thoroughly, General Ben has been to the grassland before, that sumo wrestling, basically and the wrestling of the grassland people, therefore, General Ben thinks, it is better to let General Ben try to see if he can deal with this skinny monkey." ”

General Cheng stared at Saito Jiro coldly.

That Saito Jiro sneered, reached out and stroked his blade-like thin lips, Shen Qiaoan said, "Don't be impatient", and said: "Wait a while, everything will be arranged by me, and we will win today. ”

General Cheng nodded, although he looked at the other party and then at them, it was impossible to win, but at this moment, after all, he still needed to choose to believe in Shen Qiaoan.

After all, Shen Qiao'an was eccentric, and he had a lot of thoughts.

At this moment, the emperor approached Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan, and the compassion in his eyes was even stronger than just now, "Qiao'an, this is ...... You're really going to win this time. Although, even the pride of heaven has no hope for them.

Shen Qiaoan just smiled, "The emperor can rest assured, Qiao An has a way to win today anyway." ”

"After thinking about it, I actually feel that there are many problems with the imperial examination system, and now, I support you." The emperor said while also looking at everyone encouragingly, and when the little prince heard this, he hurriedly approached the emperor, "Father, if we fail, we lose, but what about it?" ”

"Listen to your sister Joan's words, don't be arrogant in victory, and don't be discouraged in defeat." The emperor touched the little prince's head.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and there is no shame or shame, so rest assured." Qiao An also touched the little prince's head, but the little prince couldn't rest assured at all.

The two teams are ready, that Chen Dongye smiled whimsily, Saito Jiro behind Chen Dongye walked around like a tail, Li Zhongxuan and Shen Qiaoan skimmed, and saw that Saito Jiro roared and split a stone lock with a hard palm.

Seeing this, General Cheng took two steps back, the little prince was dumbfounded, Ji Qiaohui and Li Xiaoyue were discolored, but Li Zhongxuan and Shen Qiaoan were still laughing, and Chen Dongye didn't know what Shen Qiaoan was so funny about.

The emperor asked Honglu Temple to come over, and Lord Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, as the referee of this confrontation, first needs to check whether the two parties are secretly carrying any dangerous items, and after the check, he handed a piece of paper to the emperor, and the emperor looked at it and nodded.

Li Xiaoyue coughed, and the wind swayed like willows and approached Shen Qiaoan, "I see...... I...... I don't think I'm going to hold you back, Joan, what's wrong right now. Li Xiaoyue stared at the other side, looked at it for a long time, and became frightened.

On the other side, there are a group of civil and military champions, and the literary champions are just that, all of them are men, all of them, and the martial champions are also average, Li Xiaoyue is afraid that he will drag Shen Qiaoan down.

But Joan smiled, "Don't be afraid, it's you, try the water first, the first game is yours." Li Xiaoyue didn't expect that Shen Qiaoan would let herself take the lead, "This, Qiaoan, I can't do this." ”

"Little sister, you don't have to be modest, if you want to fight, you can't succeed, if you want to answer questions, you won't be able to? Your brother and I have already speculated that everything should change from the easiest to the most difficult, so there is an excess between the simple and the difficult, and you are responsible for the simplest of things, but why not? ”

"But...... But ......" Li Xiaoyue opened her mouth and stammered, Li Zhongxuan approached Li Xiaoyue and patted her little sister on the shoulder, "Don't worry, victory or defeat will not hurt the overall situation, just do your best." Li Xiaoyue understands very well, what victory or defeat "does not hurt the overall situation"?

Victory is good, once defeated, the situation will be so bad can be imagined, but those four words "do your best" will still be.

Li Xiaoyue is no longer in a dilemma at the moment, but can only face the difficulties, so Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Okay, I'll go all out." Seeing that Li Xiaoyue was completely convinced, Qiao An smiled, "You should take a deep breath, take a deep breath, prepare when you should prepare, and warm up when you should warm up." ”

Hearing Shen Qiao'an say this, General Cheng and Ji Huaizhou began to do simple warm-up exercises, and the rest of the people began to discuss the problem.

It didn't take long for everything to seem finalized.

After consultation, the officials of the Honglu Temple stood up, and when they arrived on the high platform, their voices were very loud, and they said to Shen Qiaoan and the others: "Today, fighting for the abolition of the imperial examination system, the king of the county does not agree with the abolition, but Young Master Li and Miss Shen must stick to the end, so the final is about to break out." ”

"In this final, you can't deliberately hurt people, otherwise you will be disqualified and your results will be invalid! The finals are carried out in line with the principle of fairness and justice, the text, no plagiarism, you need to be on the scene for a while, martial arts, no secret arrows to hurt people, no picking quarrels and provoking trouble. ”

"Team Li and Team Chen, what are the problems now? are proposed. "The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple stood on a high place and patrolled the people on both sides.

In the Li team, Shen Qiaoan was the first to come out of the ranks, saluted Lord Shaoqing first, and then asked: "They have an opponent, our teammates, they are fighting according to their strength, right?" ”

"Yes, you can freely choose your opponent, but you can't choose your opponent." After the Honglu Temple finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Dongye on the other side, Chen Dongye had a cynical smirk on the corner of his mouth, but after all, the Honglu Temple still took care of his emotions.

"Now, does Team Chen have anything to say?"

"Just according to Miss Shen's meaning, there are many men in my team, and their team is prosperous and yang, so naturally they have to make a little concession." Chen Dongye laughed mockingly, but Shen Qiaoan didn't laugh, and continued to ask: "So, is it two wins in three games?" ”

"Yes!" This is the simplest rule of the game, in fact, there is no need for Shen Qiaoan to ask, and everyone knows it, but then, Shen Qiaoan has more questions than just now, and it is even more imbecile than just now, so that people can find that Shen Qiaoan has never faced these situations at all.

"Very good, best-of-three. So, each person can only fight once, right? Shen Qiaoan's eyes were staring at Saito Jiro, to be honest, in the other team, it was probably this Saito Jiro who really gave Shen Qiaoan a headache.

"Yes! Here, this official solemnly announced that each person can only fight once, and there is no martial arts, do you still have any questions? If there is no problem, we will start. Nahonglu Temple took care of everything, and while speaking, he looked at the emperor.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Then it begins," Honglu Temple Shaoqing said: "We salute first and then soldiers, the first to start is naturally Wendou, Wendou, we chose to promote the Ying volume, this Ying volume, is the think tank of the past dynasties, in this Ying volume, there are many puzzles that can not be solved for thousands of years, some are simple, and some are so difficult that you can't sleep for three days and three nights. ”

"At this moment, please roll up." Lord Shaoqing applauded, and in the distance, two eunuchs carried a huge and old cowhide book, the scroll was dusty and dirty, and there were traces of insects gnawing on the outer layer of cowhide, and the scroll was placed in front of Lord Shaoqing, as high as a knee.

Lord Shaoqing stared at the Ying scroll, and saluted respectfully, and everyone also got up slightly and saluted the Ying scroll.

Shen Qiaoan was very curious, and pulled Li Zhongxuan's sleeve, "Why do they have a book of talents, there are many questions in the Ying Paper, and each question is very difficult to solve. ”

Shen Qiaoan suddenly understood, stared at the heavy scroll, and sighed: "Is it really a question that can't be solved through the ages?" If so, we have answered the wrong answer, can we get away with it? ”

"Joan, you...... How can you have such a mind, there is an answer in the Ying volume, Lord Shaoqing will read it, as for Lord Shaoqing is an upright person, it is impossible to bribe, therefore, it is really fair and just. ”

When Shen Qiaoan heard this, he nodded again and again, but he was silent.

"Both teams, are there no problems?" Lord Shaoqing finally asked, and Shen Qiaoan said that they had fully respected the rules of the game, and as for Team Chen, they thought they would win anyway, so there was no problem.

"That's good." Lord Shaoqing of Honglu Temple coughed lightly, and his hand fell heavily on the Ying scroll, looking at that appearance, solemn and powerful, dusted the dust, blew it, and carefully wiped off the dust with his sleeves, and then turned the first page of the old dragon clock.
