Chapter 553(1/2)
The third game is about to begin, and the final ones are Xie Yan and Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan is the largest among the three sons of Kaifeng, while Xie Yan is the first of the three talented men in Jiangnan. This competition is very interesting. However... Xie Yan's poetry, prose and music theory has long been famous all over the world. Almost everyone present has read his collection of poems. Everyone knows what kind of talent he is. In comparison, Cao Yuan is unknown. What kind of talented men should compare with such two people?
The scholars onlookers were discussing what kind of topics they would be next, but no one noticed that more and more people were gathering around the crowd, and what these people said was a little weird. Although they were wearing scholars' clothes, their figures and postures did not look like scholars, but they did not look like martial artists, and they always felt that they were inappropriate.
Of course, the scholars did not notice it, which does not mean that Zhan Zhao Baiyutang and the others did not notice it.
Hou Yin hugged Xiao Sizi and looked outside.
The Heavenly Lord also glanced at him, "Wow, so many people came at once?"
Yin Hou frowned slightly, "How did the news spread?"
Tianzun laughed dryly, "If Zhao Zhen had the intention to hide it, he wouldn't have worn the pointer and pointed it out."
Yin Hou looked at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting by the stone table, holding his chin with one hand, and gently turning his index finger at the jasper ring on his thumb, and knew it, "It seems that this time I left the palace, it's not just about playing."
Zhao Pu frowned slightly. Are these gangs really assassins? They looked a little bit watery, but just in case, he still winked at Ouyang.
Ouyang and Zou Liang were outside... At this time, outside Baekje Park, the Imperial City Army gathered at least 3,000 people.
After leaving the house, Ouyang rubbed his stomach, "Hey, my stomach hurts."
Zou Liang was helpless either.
At this time, some people appeared on the roof, all soldiers wearing black clothes and carrying bow and arrow bags.
"The chattering people are here." As soon as Ouyang finished speaking, Long Qiaoguang appeared on the opposite roof and waved his hand... His archers ordered the high place near Baekje Park to ambush, holding a crossbow and waiting.
Long Qiaoguang stood on the roof and looked at the situation in Baekje Garden, frowned slightly... Why do those fake scholars who stole the gangsters look like gangsters? Are the new assassins?
Nangong stood beside Zhao Zhen at this time, glanced at Zhao Zhen's ring that had been turning intentionally or unintentionally at the beginning, and frowned slightly - was the emperor intentionally exposing his identity and trying to lead these people? At the same time, Nangong was also wondering, who are these people?
Xie Yan was next to Zhao Zhen at this time, and he also noticed the scholars who did not look like scholars who came in.
Xie Yan looked at the people of Kaifeng Prefecture and saw that the three generals of the Zhao family army were gone except Zhao Pu. He always felt that something was wrong.
He looked down at Zhao Zhen again, wanting to ask him if something was wrong... The moment he lowered his head, Xie Yan's gaze was attracted by the ring on Zhao Zhen's finger.
This ring is priceless at first glance, simple and solemn, and there is a shallow crack on the ring... If you look closely, you will find that it is not a crack, but a blood-like red pattern. Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, the blood jade ring...
Xie Yan was stunned for a while, and subconsciously looked at Nangong Ji. He saw some clues from the details of Nangong's clothes - the Great Inner Guard...
Xie Yan thought about it before and after, he guessed Zhao Zhen’s identity... He had never seen the world, but he was still shocked.
At this time, Cao Yuan and Yan Shaogong also walked up.
Fang Baiji is an old businessman, and he also feels that some strange people have been involved in the onlookers. Is this a scholar? He can tell at a glance that the scholars who are watching the literary exam and the people who are joining in the fun will not have such a fierce look?
It was faintly true that Fang Baiji felt that something was going to happen. The first thing he thought of was Zhao Pu... Could someone be detrimental to this Marshal of the Army? There were so many people here, if there was a fight in a while, and if it was a mess, it would be trampled to death by just stepping on it.
Fang Baiji felt that he could not resist this situation, so he saw Zhan Zhao ask for help.
Zhan Zhao accepted Fang Baiji's confused look in his eyes, and was helpless, so he pulled Bai Yutang's sleeve.
Bai Yutang visits Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao hugged his arm and asked him, "Why do the assassins now look so much like gangsters? The assassin also brings some professionals!"
Bai Yutang said, "I also think I am like a gangster, but there should be no gangster in Kaifeng Mansion that doesn't know you, right?"
Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Where are the gangsters in Kaifeng's security good?"
"Maybe it's not a native of Kaifeng." Bai Yutang observed for a while, reached out and patted Zhan Zhao gently, and said, "I probably thought too much."
Zhan Zhao was stunned, "Are you thinking too much?"
Bai Yutang said, "If Zhao Zhen was not here today and these people came in, what would you think?"
Zhan Zhao blinked, then clapped his hands gently, "Yes!"
Bai Yutang nodded. They were all too nervous about Zhao Zhen. It seemed that... the person Zhao Zhen wanted to attract was not drawn out.
Zhao Pu was also puzzled - Zhao Zhen had to pay Zhou Zhang's risk in person, who did he want to lead him?
Nangong couldn't hold back any more. He felt that it was too dangerous for Zhao Zhen to stay any longer, so he looked down at him, and that's what he meant - otherwise let's withdraw first?
Zhao Zhen stopped moving, continued to hold his chin and asked Fang Baiji, "When will the third competition start?"
"Uh..." Fang Baiji looked around and saw Zhao Pu standing there without moving, so he had to cough and said, "Who will ask the question first in the third game..."
Yan Shaogong was about to speak when he saw Zhao Zhen raise his hand and gently shake his finger at him, that's what he meant - you go back first.
Yan Shaogong was stunned.
Zhao Zhen looked at Cao Yuan and Xie Yan and said, "This game is better than the same question."
Cao Yuan frowned, and Yan Shaogong was also surprised. Why was this man so domineering? Just as he was about to refute a few words, Xie Yan spoke, "It's better to fight quickly and decide quickly."
Fang Baiji nodded straight - it was indeed better to end it soon. In fact, he wanted the Qiankun Academy to simply admit defeat. What else is this? He has lost.
Yan Shaogong and Cao Yuan looked at each other.
Seeing that the two seemed hesitant, Xie Yan said, "May leave a question and continue the next time the Fourth Hospital competition? That's why there is no winner this time, right?"
Cao Yuan and Yan Shaogong both had a heart-in-indeed, if this competition continues, although they are a little prepared, the strength of the three talents in Jiangnan seems to be above what they expected. If they lose, it will be too ugly and the entire Qiankun Academy will be dull. But if one question is left but it will not be decided, it will be a winner... It is much better than losing and losing!
Yan Shaogong nodded to Cao Yuan, thinking that this is more cost-effective.
Cao Yuan also obviously accepted this statement.
Yan Shaogong asked Zhao Zhen, "Young Master Huang, what question will be come up with next?"
Zhao Zhen smiled, his voice was not loud, and he spoke, "For example, I am the emperor."
...
When Zhao Zhen said something, Fang Baiji and Yan Shaogong were both stunned.
Xie Yan frowned slightly - Sure enough...
Yan Shaogong and Fang Baiji opened their mouths wide... This person said "I am the emperor", and this "I" sounds so easy.
The two looked at each other, and Fang Baiji subconsciously glanced at Zhan Zhao not far away.
Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded slightly.
Fang Baiji gasped, and Yan Shaogong was stunned at this moment. While he was shocked, he was extremely glad that Xie Yan stopped him from speaking just now, otherwise he would definitely hit Zhao Zhen, so he would not be able to take it and leave.
Cao Yuan still doesn't understand the situation, look at Yan Shaogong.
Yan Shaogong never met the saint. In the past, when Zhao Zhen met with all officials, his official rank could only be seen from a distance. Today, he saw it and was right in front of him. What should I do? Say a great gift?
Yan Shaogong looked at the trend and was about to kneel down and salute with a soft knee. Nangong frowned slightly and gave him a wink, meaning - to be low-key.
Yan Shaogong hurriedly held the table and stabilized it first, that's right... Zhao Zhen left the palace in a concealed manner, and there were so many people here. What if Zhao Zhen gave a big gift, wouldn't he reveal his identity?
The two brothers Cao Yuan couldn't see the situation clearly from a distance, and were both curious. What was this discussion? Why did Yan Shaogong shake straight?
Zhao Zhen ignored the tsunami of the few people, and then continued to speak. He pointed to the crowd and said, "At least two or three hundred assassins have been involved in this, what should I do?"
Yan Shaogong was shocked, Cao Yuan was stunned, and Xie Yan also frowned slightly - Assassin?
Behind, Bao Yan and the others were curious. Lai Tianqing was confused and asked Bao Yan, "What are they doing?"
Pang Yu curled his lips, "My brother-in-law is probably teasing them."
Lin Xiao didn't seem nervous when he looked at it, waiting to see what would happen next.
Yan Shaogong lowered his voice, "Please return to the palace quickly, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time!"
Zhao Zhen laughed, "Didn't this question be given to them? Do you want to answer it?"
Young Master Yan opened his mouth and thought to himself that the emperor was broad-minded enough. Two or three hundred assassins came in front of him. He is still in the mood to ask questions?
Cao Yuan didn't know what to do at this time, so he opened his mouth to look at Yan Shaogong.
Yan Shaogong was anxious, that's what he meant - let him go back to the palace quickly.
Cao Yuan said, "Uh... protect the emperor back to the palace first."
Zhao Zhen held his chin and looked at Cao Yuan, helpless... After all, he was still younger, just seventeen or eighteen, probably a little scared.
Zhao Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yan again.
Xie Yan said calmly when he stopped Yan Shaogong from rushing to him, but he was not too surprised at his expression at this moment. He had guessed his identity when he saw it.
Zhao Zhen was a little surprised. If Yan Shaogong had not stopped Xie Yan just now, he would definitely make a fuss. Xie Yan prevented Yan Shaogong from making mistakes without revealing his identity. This was actually not very good for Xie Yan himself, but it was beneficial to Yan Shaogong. How to say it? Should this young man be kind-hearted? Or should he think carefully?
When Xie Yan saw Zhao Zhen looking at him, he shook his head, "No need to leave."
Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows.
Xie Yan looked down and said, "This is the imperial city, with strict guards, and there are even more masters in Baekje Garden. Not to mention Zhan Zhao Baiyutang, Tianzun and Yin Hou are here. Even if there are 300 assassins, it is impossible to succeed in assassinating the king here."
"Oh?" Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and glanced at Xie Yan, "Then what do you think they are here for?"
Xie Yan glanced at the people who were mixed into the crowd and said, "It's here to create chaos."
Zhao Zhen gently touched his chin with one hand, "Creating chaos..."
Xie Yan said, "If the competition between Taixue and Qiankun Academy caused disputes and caused chaos and casualties, the competition of the Fourth Academy might be cancelled, and it will also trigger some other subsequent effects."
Zhao Zhen's mouth moved slightly.
To be continued...
