Facing Shang Jing's urging, Jian Zong just sat in his seat expressionlessly, with the long sword at his side, indifferent.

Shang Jing's face darkened, "Jian Zong, what you have already said, are you going to go back on your word?"

Jian Zong said coldly, "You were the one talking to yourself before, and I didn't agree at all."

Shang Jing's face turned blue, "Then you are going against my will? Don't forget what Your Majesty said before, you must fully obey my arrangements for this trip."

"I have also told Your Majesty that I will never do anything against morality."

"you……"

"The competition is a one-on-one match. Whether you win or lose, it all depends on your own ability. I will not interfere with your scheming schemes, but you don't want to scheme against me."

Shang Jing didn't expect Jian Zong to be so stubborn!He knew that Jian Zong's temper was always upright, but he thought that this time it was His Majesty's order, and he would unconditionally follow his arrangement, but he didn't expect to be rejected so unceremoniously, it didn't take him seriously at all.

It's just relying on His Majesty's favor for a while, when he returns to Chen Country, he will definitely blame Jian Zong for the failure of the martial arts test, and see if His Majesty will protect him then!

Gu Daoxin noticed that Shang Jing and Jian Zong seemed to have a quarrel, although they concealed it well, their faces looked as if they were chatting, but Gu Daoxin knew a little bit of lip language, and he could more or less see what the two were talking about.

He knew that a chivalrous person like Jian Zong would never join forces with a despicable person like Shang Jing.

The third round should have been taken down by Lu Zhen, there was no suspense at all, none of the people sent by the other party had survived ten tricks under Lu Zhen's hands.

The emperor Longyan was very happy, and immediately gave Lu Zhen wine, and Lu Zhen also regarded it as a face to the emperor, and drank it down after expressing his gratitude.

Next is the text test.

The first Liu Chun.

The old man who came out from Chen Guo looked like he belonged to Liu Chun's grandpa.The old man came up as if posing as a senior elder, saying that he really didn't want to bully a little baby, and let Liu Chun admit defeat on his own.

This is a verbal provocation, and it can be regarded as a tactic.However, people who pay attention to learning also want to use methods other than learning to increase their winning chips. It can be seen that this old man's heart for learning is not pure, and he is probably a person who is trying to gain fame.

Liu Chun is not polite at all, smiling and returning to the old man does not know how the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, and there are three kinds of realms in learning, one is to look forward to the way of the past, the other is to pursue the spirit tirelessly, and the third is to open up a new realm through sudden enlightenment. However, the old man actually judged the depth of knowledge based on his age and qualifications, which is really not the vision and attitude that a true scholar should have.

The old man was bullied, unable to say anything in return, so he flicked his sleeves and sat down in front of his desk.This momentum seems to be sufficient, but it is only a superficial phenomenon, the old man's momentum has been broken by Liu Chun.

Breaking momentum is no small matter, and it can even affect the performance of writing articles in the future. This is why the old man said that to Liu Chun at the beginning. He originally wanted to disturb Liu Chun's mood, but it turned out that Liu Chun was so powerful at such a young age. , not only failed to get the trick, but also killed him.

For the sake of fairness, the two sides drafted three titles for the article and wrote them on paper strips. After they were folded, they were put into a wooden box. Circular incision into which an adult's fist goes.

Liu Chun and the old man each took out a note with a topic from the box, and wrote any article on whatever topic they got.Two people roll the dice to determine who gets it first.

It doesn't really matter, there is an advantage in taking it first, and there is also an advantage in taking it later.

After drawing the questions.The two began to make a fuss, and in order to save time, the second competition started at the same time.

The second session is calligraphy.

Originally thought that Chen Guo wanted to compete in calligraphy, it should be to face a certain master's calligraphy works, and then compare who writes the best, and the worst, the calligraphy master who is going to face Lin may belong to Chen Guo.

But He Bingqin is also considered to be a bit capable, since he was very young, he has been teaching calligraphy to famous calligraphers in the world, even the calligraphers of Chen Kingdom, he has also written.After all, if he has no real skills, He Shengrong wouldn't dare to take this turn of events. If he loses, then he won't be able to lose money. It's better not to fight for this spot in the first place!

He Bingqin has this self-confidence, whether it is against Lin Dayan or Chen Guo's calligraphers, he is sure to win.If he wins the first game and he wins the second game, then Gu Daoxin will not have the chance to play. It's really cheap for him, and he doesn't have to lose to make a fool of himself.

However, He Bingqin was dumbfounded when the Chen Kingdom envoy brought the things up.

The envoy of Chen Kingdom brought two wooden basins and put them on the table in front of the two of them. They were half filled with water, and there was a piece of wood inside. The length of the wood was about the same as the diameter of the wooden basins.Although the wood floats on the water, the upper surface of the wood remains submerged in the water just because it will almost get stuck.It is said that it is not in the water, but there is still a little bit, and it is said that it is in the water, but it is still in contact with the air. In short, it looks like a layer of half-dried water is floating on the surface.

"What, what does this mean?"

Shang Jing smiled slightly, "Throughout the ages, most calligraphy competitions were either written directly or faced with famous masters. It's really not interesting, so we came up with a new competition method, which is both interesting and can test the solid skills of both parties. It's a shame. Just ask the people on both sides to write on the wood, and write the complete four characters "Auspicious Ruyi" that can be read clearly."

"How is this possible?" He Bingqin yelled without demeanor, "This wood is almost soaked in water, and it fainted before the first word was written. How could it be possible to write four characters clearly? ?”

"How is it impossible?" Shang Jing's smile deepened, "Seeing that this lord is so angry, then I will give him a little in the spirit of friendship. The key to this is actually the word "fast", although the wood is soaked in water. , but not completely in the water, there is still a little bit on the surface. The time for the ink to smudge is naturally much slower than that of direct contact with water. As long as the adult can write faster than the ink smears, it will be fine. ? We have a stick of incense time, whoever finishes within a stick of incense, whoever is the winner, if both parties finish within a stick of incense, even if there is a sequence, it can be considered a tie, it should be fair, right?"

Shang Jing spread his hands, and looked at the big Yan officials with an expression of "I have retreated to this extent, what else do you want?"That expression is really embarrassing!

Liu Chun sat on the left of Gu Daoxin, and Lu Zhen sat on the right.

Liu Chun asked Lu Zhen across the ancient road, "What does the lord think Chen Kingdom is doing?"

Gu Daoxin: ... Does he have a low sense of existence?

Lu Zhen didn't speak, and Liu Chun looked away silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Liu Chun asked Gu Daoxin again, "What do you think, Brother Gu?"

"How else? The people of Chen Kingdom must have already practiced this trick of writing in water. It must not be difficult for them. But for ordinary people, it is even more difficult. Most people pay attention to brushstrokes when writing calligraphy. Powerful and penetrating, but the better you are at this aspect, the more you will suffer in this competition. What Shang Jing said just now is not deceiving, as long as you are fast, you can write it. If you give enough time to practice It’s not impossible, but within the time of a stick of incense, it’s absolutely impossible.”

Gu Daoxin was right. The time for a stick of incense had already begun. He Bingqin wrote several times, but the handwriting fell apart in less than three strokes. His forehead was already covered with cold sweat in a hurry.

Looking at the country of Chen, even though he failed a few times, the young man in the country of Chen didn't show the slightest sign of panic on his face. He Bingqin.

During the period, there were also palace people waiting on the side. If a basin of water was stained black, then another basin would be changed.

Because the handwriting disperses quickly, the person in charge of judging must stand by the wooden basin all the time, so as to ensure that they can see it at the first time when it is written, so that the contestants will not have to write it again because they missed it. .

The two people standing beside He Bingqin were already bored. After half a stick of incense passed by, He Bingqin didn't write a single word. They were also very bored standing like this.

However, soon, Chen Guo had already completed it, and it was confirmed that the four characters were clearly visible. What a hand speed!

He Bingqin was under tremendous psychological pressure. He thought he was sure of winning, but he turned out to be a joke for others.He didn't even last until a stick of incense was burned, so he sat on the ground slumped, threw all the brushes aside, and gave up completely.

The emperor's face sank at that moment, murderous intent was already in his eyes.

The two countries compete with each other, winning or losing is of course important, but even if they lose, they should lose decently.How can Bingqin do this, rubbing the face of the great power of the Celestial Dynasty on the ground!Doesn't this make the people of Chen Kingdom think that the people they selected out of thousands of thousands are actually such kind of people, so it can be seen that the entire literati in Dayan are nothing more than that?

If it wasn't for worrying that the envoy of Chen Kingdom was still there, the emperor really wanted to kill He Bingqin on the spot.In the end, he waved his hand in disgust and asked someone to drag He Bingqin down.

Sitting below, He Shengrong's legs were trembling, looking at his son who was being dragged away, he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to step forward to plead for his son at this time, so he just clutched his sleeves and wiped his cold sweat, hoping that the competition would be sooner. Finish.

There is no doubt that Chen Guo won the second competition, and the result of the first competition came out not long after, Liu Chunsheng.When the old man stepped down from the stage, he was supported by others. His old face was lost to Dayan and he couldn't get it back.

In this way, one win and one loss are tied. Like the previous martial arts test, the final victory depends on the third game.

Just as Gu Daoxin was about to go on stage, Lu Zhen held his hand. Gu Daoxin lowered his head, and his gaze met Lu Zhen's. The two of them didn't say anything. They just looked at each other for a while. The end of the eyes with the heart slightly raised has already fainted into a smile.
