Chapter Twenty-Eight: Re-casting of lots

The Five Princes have been in high spirits lately, and electric shock weapons shine in the second round. Although two of them lost to Wen Bufan and Xiao Heimei, this did not affect the mood of the fifth prince.

If the top 16 in this intermediate court competition are all their own people. Then in the subsequent upper house competition, more than 20 of the 36 people will be their own people. The top of the upper house competition, although it is not said that it is a chance to win, but it is also eight or nine and ten.

If you get the top spot in the upper house competition, you can enter the library of the Great Teacher. In the past ten years, only the former prince has entered. If you can get in this time, then ......

"Lord Wang, everything is ready, those electric shock weapons can be used for a while." The personal guard Cang Yong came to the front and said, "That person hasn't been found yet!" ”

"If you didn't look for it, you didn't find it!" The fifth prince said, "After this round, those two people are in the phantom realm, and they will dispose of what they can handle!" If it doesn't work, you can shoot directly, and when the time comes, don't worry about the top of the competition in this intermediate court, as long as you can get the qualification! ”。

"Yes!"

The fifth prince completely ignored the third round of the competition, and it seemed that his thirty-four people had already entered the next round, but history has told us countless times that even if some things happen, they will change. What's more, there is no such thing as resurrection.

The third round of the tournament was still in the main square in front of the royal palace. Thirty-six groups started at the same time, and this time, Xuanyuan Hao, the king of Donglai Kingdom, and Ji Yun'er, the queen of Donglai, were still present. There are also a lot of royal nobles and high-ranking officials!

Only this time there were fewer participants, and the king and queen, as well as a number of royal nobles and dignitaries, did not sit on the castle tower, but sat in a pergola not far from the competition venue. Watch the game more closely.

The participants in the competition all occupied the competition venue according to the previous group.

The examiner consulted the king, and was just about to speak, begin. I heard the second prince Xuanyuan Changjian say: "In this year's intermediate court competition, my father ordered the top sixteen to be eligible to participate, and then held the upper court competition once every ten years." The breadth of the blessing is unprecedented! ”

After speaking, he bowed to Xuanyuan Hao, and continued: "Since my father is so gracious, then this year's top sixteen must not live up to my father's expectations!" ”

The people in the pergola praised the good.

With the support of everyone, Xuanyuan Changjian is more confident, "As we all know, our qualification for the competition is known before the competition. After the second round, everyone who participated in the competition knew who was in the third round. Then prepare according to the characteristics of your opponent! ”

Everyone didn't know what Xuanyuan Changjian wanted to express, so they were quietly waiting for Xuanyuan Changjian to finish.

Xuanyuan Changjian cleared his throat and said: "Before, we competed in the Intermediate Court, and only the top of the list could participate in the Upper Court Competition, so it didn't hurt to compete like this in this round. But this time, sixteen people are eligible to participate, so it seems inappropriate to still compete according to this rule? Therefore, the sons asked their father to regroup to increase the response to emergencies in the assessment! ”

As soon as Xuanyuan Changjian finished speaking, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Changji stood up, bowed to Xuanyuan Hao, and said: "Although what the second brother said is not unreasonable, this rule has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been informed before the game. If you want to change it now, I'm afraid it won't be in accordance with the rules! ”

As soon as Xuanyuan Changji's voice fell, the tenth prince Xuanyuan Changxiang also stood up, Xuanyuan Hao bowed and said: "The fifth brother's words are bad, this competition is different from previous years, and although it is a competition, it is also a selection of materials for the country." What's wrong with trying more? ”

"Yes, the selection of materials for the country is naturally comprehensive!" It was Xuanyuan Chang'an, the seventh prince, who had just stood up and saluted Xuanyuan Hao.

After Xuanyuan Chang'an finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Xuanyuan Changji, and directly saluted Xuanyuan Hao: "Please also ask my father to decide!" ”

When he said this, Xuanyuan Changjian and Xuanyuan Changxiang also followed, bowing and bowing, "Please also ask my father to decide!" ”

The two of them were like this, and Xuanyuan Changji couldn't fight for anything, so he had to bow down and say, "Please decide, father!" ”

Xuanyuan Hao looked at his sons with a smile, then leaned slightly to Ji Yun'er and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ji Yun'er smiled and replied respectfully: "Even if it is to select materials for the country, a more comprehensive assessment is still very important." As for this rule, it is up to the king to decide! ”

Xuanyuan Hao looked at his three sons, thought for a while, and said loudly: "Then change the rules!" With a wave of his hand, he stopped Xuanyuan Changji, who still wanted to speak, and said to Xuanyuan Changjian: "Chang Jian, this regrouping, can you think about it, how to divide it?" ”

"Reply to the king, the son has thought of a method, and ask my father to show it!" Xuanyuan Changjian bowed and said.

"Tell me."

Xuanyuan Changjian waved his hand, and an attendant brought a square box. There is a circular hole on only one side of the box, and the other five sides are all sealed.

Xuanyuan Changjian took the box and continued: "Father, the method that Erchen thought of was to write the names of all the contestants on paper, then fold them and send them to this box. Then there are people who draw out in groups. ”

"Oh? This method is very second! Xuanyuan Hao said and glanced at Ji Yun'er again. Ji Yun'er also said: "It's really good! ”

"Okay, it's up to you. Come! Write down the names of all participants and put them in the box. Xuanyuan Hao commanded, and an attendant came out, holding pen and ink, and folded it and put it in the box after writing one. Xuanyuan Changjian personally held the box and stood there respectfully. Xuanyuan Changji secretly cursed: "Show off!" "But I had a bad feeling in my heart.

In a few moments, the chamberlain finished writing.

"So who's going to smoke it?" Xuanyuan Hao asked.

"Father, I'm coming!" Zixi happily stood up and came out!

"Okay, here you go!" Xuanyuan Hao has always doted on Zixi, and there is no reason not to agree.

A moment later, the grouping of the game came out.

Xuanyuan Changji almost vomited blood on the spot! His thirty-four people were actually divided into two or two in a group. This, too, is a coincidence!

This is definitely not a coincidence! Let's go back to a day ago.

"Brother Fan, what is this?" Zixi looked at the square box that Wen Bufan had pasted.

"It's called a lottery box, oh no, it's going to be called a lottery box now. Whether it succeeds this time depends on it! Wen Bufan looked at the box he made and was very satisfied.

"Second brother, are you sure you don't need me to go?" Zixi asked with a wink.

"No, I'll just go! It's just that the queen is there......"

"Queen Mother, don't worry, why don't I go and tell my father directly?" Zixi asked with a smile.

"Don't! Can you not mess around? Wen Bufan knocked Zixi lightly, took the carton, and taught Zixi how to use it: "Look, after drawing, turn the cardboard below, and the remaining paper ball can be pulled out." Do you understand? ”

"Understood, rest assured! You can teach my second brother well! Zixi said in a coquettish voice.

The second prince naturally agreed without thinking about it. As for Xuanyuan Changjian's performance in the battle today, Wen Bufan still appreciates it.

It's just that I didn't expect that the seventh prince and the tenth prince would also help, and things went unexpectedly well.

After the redraw, the game began as usual. Xuanyuan Changji, who suffered a secret loss, could only comfort himself secretly, "There are at least seventeen people!" ”

The second round ended quickly, Wen Bufan, and Little Black Girl all entered the next round.

The second prince walked up to Wen Bufan and said, "Congratulations! ”

Wen Bufan returned the salute: "Thank you!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they knew it.

At this time, the seventh prince and the tenth prince also came over and said to Wen Bufan: "I hope I can meet you in the competition in the upper court!" After saying that, the two of them left directly.

Before Wen Bufan understood, Xuanyuan Changjian said: "The two of them have topped the third and sixth intermediate court competitions in the past ten years. ”

"Oh, so that's the case, no wonder ......" Wen Bufan finally understood why they would help Xuanyuan Changjian change the rules of the game.

"Among the princes, in addition to the two of them, there is one who is eligible to participate in the upper house competition!" Xuanyuan Changjian said.

"It can't be the fifth prince, right?" Wen Bufan asked.

"Exactly! He was the first in the middle court competition in this decade! Xuanyuan Changjian said very seriously.

Wen Bufan gasped, "So powerful? "You must know that in the next ten years, there will be one less person to participate in the intermediate court competition. That person was the top of the previous year's list. Therefore, the further back on, the gold content of the top of the competition list of the Intermediate Court will decrease year by year.

The first place in the middle court competition, the gold content is 100%!

The second prince nodded: "In this next round, the risk is abnormal, and Brother Wen has to be more careful." ”

Princess Changping Annex, outside Hengyang City

Princess Changping is reading Wen Bufan's letter, and she has read it many times. But I still reluctantly put it down. The letter was nothing more than an extraordinary proximity and some words of greetings. There is also to ask Princess Changping to pay attention to whether there are people who buy potatoes wantonly.

Princess Changping looked at the letter and thought to herself, you said that you wanted to enter the library of Xiaoyu Yanran and stayed in Donglai Kingdom, but in fact, it was not because of Sister Zixi! You're a beautiful woman on the side, and you can't miss it. Thinking of this, I pouted, and I dismantled that lewd thief in my heart!

At this time, the personal maid Qingzhu walked in, "Princess, I just received the news that King Pingnan is going back to the fiefdom!" ”

"Oh? How could Uncle Wang be willing to go back. Princess Changping put down the letter and pondered, "Did my father and master send a letter?" Say something. ”

"No, someone came from the south this afternoon, and it was only a stick of incense time to enter the Pingnan Palace, and the king of Pingnan entered the palace to face the saint, saying that he had been in the capital for a long time and wanted to return to the fiefdom, and the king kept it for a while, but it seems that the king of Pingnan has made up his mind, and the king agreed. King Pingnan will set off early tomorrow morning to return. Qingzhu said.

"Someone from the south? Something happened to his fiefdom? It's good to go back! Princess Changping said lightly.

Yanshan City Pingnan Palace

Ji Nancheng, the king of Pingnan, looked at the palace from afar.

At this time, Runa, the commander of the guards of the royal palace, walked in, bowed and saluted, and said, "Lord, the carriages and horses are ready, and you can leave on time tomorrow." ”

Ji Nancheng didn't speak, nodded, and looked into the distance. No expression could be seen on his face.
