Face these taunts.
But it is difficult for an individual to take a breath.
Li Yuntian and others couldn't keep their faces calm, their eyes were full of anger, and they wanted to rush forward to argue.
Zhao Xuanqi stopped several people.
"enough."
"It's useless to show off your words."
"Instead of having meaningless disputes with these children from aristocratic families here, it's better to go back and do more questions and try to pass the exam next time."
"Just wait quietly for the results to be announced."
Zhao Xuanqi's calmness successfully suppressed the anger of several people.
"Brother Zhao Xuanqi, you are right."
Li Yuntian recovered from his anger and secretly thought that he had been so angry that he was going head-to-head with these young men from aristocratic families.
You must know that these guys are wealthy people in the county and belong to the local gangsters here.
I and others are poor scholars with no power and power, and they come from far away. The only ones who will suffer from the quarrel with these four children are themselves!
Once you are retaliated against, you will really be irreversible.
Especially Brother Zhao, can he really get into the top ten?
Li Yuntian and others don't know.
If you don't get into the top ten, if you brag so much now, you will be even more embarrassed later.
So several people shut their mouths and stopped arguing.
A deflated look.
This appearance made Qi Zilong and others even more arrogant, their arrogance soared to the extreme, and they continued to ridicule.
"What's wrong? Are you speechless?"
"You poor people are only qualified to work hard in the fields for a lifetime, pulling carts and cultivating the fields, facing the loess and back to the sky, without enough food and clothing."
"We people are different. We are born to be officials. From now on, we will rule you. We must keep our mouths clean from now on. Don't blame the grandpas for accidentally beating you to death!"
"What nonsense Zhao Xuanqi? Do you really think your name is in the top ten? Don't be embarrassed here!"
The cynicism and sarcasm continued, and Qi Zilong looked like he was beating a drowned dog, but the resentment in his heart did not diminish even a little bit.
Facing these cynicisms, Zhao Xuanqi kept a calm expression from beginning to end, and did not even listen to these nonsense.
Yes, these mocking words are nonsense to Zhao Xuanqi.
So what if someone scolds me? You won’t lose a few pieces of meat.
Real results are the best rebuttal.
All he thinks about now is the top ten list in front of him. Apart from that, everything is meaningless to him.
From beginning to end, Zhao Xuanqi's vision was not focused on Qi Zilong and others, or even on the entire Ziyun County.
These things are just a cloud to him.
All he chose from beginning to end was to get Jinshi, become famous all over the world, and then rely on his fame to become a high official, working hard to change the world and change the fate of many people.
His vision has already been set on the entire Northern Wei Dynasty.
Doing big things and messing up the fate of countless people is what he wants to plan.
Only in this way can you obtain enough heaven points, exchange them for rich enough rewards, and change your destiny in the main world.
It is so ridiculous to have a meaningless quarrel with the children of a small aristocratic family here, to argue about right and wrong in this small Ziyun County, just like a child playing house, and it cannot enter his eyes at all.
If you have great ambitions, you don’t need to be constrained by such small things!
With his character, even if he was slapped in the face, he would have to wait until the real results came out before being slapped in the face!
What's the difference between opening your mouth to curse and bite someone and being a wild dog?
"Time is up."
Zhao Xuanqi raised his head and looked at the sky, and said calmly.
"When is the time up? You guy, have you listened to us?" Qi Zilong was furious. Seeing the young man ignoring his people and not listening at all, he felt like punching him Among the cotton, there is nowhere to exert force and it is full of frustration.
There was a roar in the crowd.
I saw two officials in green clothes picking up picks, slowly coming to the top ten list, and announced loudly:
"The time has come!"
It turns out it’s time to release the top ten!
The crimson satin was pulled apart, revealing a golden list. The golden names on it shone brightly in the sun. This was a name belonging to the top ten, and this was a name belonging to Wenquxing.
The clerk began to roll call loudly.
The sound was louder and more powerful than before, spreading in all directions and reaching everyone's ears.
"Tenth place, Duanmuyan, Liuchuan County."
"Ninth place, Shuiyue County, Qian Yuanming."
"..."
"Fifth place, Ziyun County City, Fang Hua."
"Fourth place, Ziyun County City, Bailu Zhi."
"..."
As the names were revealed one by one, the top ten list appeared in front of everyone, and the ones ranked higher and higher were revealed.
When Li Yuntian and others heard these roll calls, their faces kept getting worse and turned extremely pale.
If they think Zhao Xuanqi can be in the top ten, then his name will probably only be ranked eighth or ninth, it can't be at the top!
This is impossible, ranking first, second, third, that kind of achievement is simply not something they can imagine.
Looking at the entire Ziyun County, the top three results have always come from the top families in the county, not from the small counties below the county.
Therefore, as the names were revealed one by one, and all the names at the bottom of the top ten were exposed, in their eyes, Zhao Xuanqi definitely failed the list!
But Qi Zilong and others laughed even more wildly, holding their stomachs in their hands and still laughing, almost crying, pointing at Zhao Xuanqi and others and mockingly said:
"I really thought that any of you could really get into the top ten? Six names have been reported so far, and only the top three have not yet been reported."
"You don't think that the so-called Zhao Xuanqi can get into the top three, right? Hahaha, it really makes me laugh. You dare to even hope for the top three. How dare you think about it."
"I don't even dare to dream that I can get into the top three. You poor children and unruly people from mountain villages who come from the fields dare to daydream like this. I don't know whether to admire your stupidity or your courage. ?”
Qi Zilong laughed so hard that he pointed at Zhao Xuanqi, who was plain from beginning to end, and wanted to say something else.
However, at this time.
The clerk announced the names of the second and third names, and then opened his mouth and said the last name:
"First place, Shixi County, Zhao Xuanqi!"
The voice was full of breath and clear to the ears, like a sharp blade, fiercely inserted into Qi Zilong's ears. His laughter stopped suddenly, as if an invisible arm was grabbing his throat and making him smile. Come down, stiff in the face.
Qi Zilong's face froze, and he looked in disbelief at the clerk in front of him who was doing the roll call.
Did I just hear it wrong?
The first place, the first name is Zhao Xuanqi? !
Li Yuntian and others also looked at Zhao Xuanqi in shock with disbelief on their faces? "Zhao...Brother Zhao, you...you really got the first place in the exam!"
"Oh my god, I really can't believe it. Not only did you get into the top ten, but you also ranked first!"
"Why is your expression so dull? Did you expect it? You are just too confident!"
A group of people were shocked.
This unexpected thing gave them, fellow villagers who had been together day and night, a sense of illusion and unreality, and they looked at Zhao Xuanqi with an expression that looked like a monster.
Zhao Xuanqi waved his hand and said with a flat smile: "It's just a fluke, it's just a fluke."
Don't be arrogant or impetuous, and be confident.
But I breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, my efforts over the years were not in vain, and I really got the first place in the exam!
"No...impossible, how could you get first place in the exam? It should just be the same name!"
"The first place should come from Ziyun County. It belongs to the Zhao family, a big family in Ziyun County. It cannot be from a poor family like yours!"
Qi Zilong's mind went blank, still in disbelief, and wanted to make up a reason to convince himself.
However, the officials on the stage did not give him face. The first place was very special and required three consecutive roll calls.
The officials shouted loudly:
"First place, Shixi County, Zhao Xuanqi!"
"First place, Shixi County, Zhao Xuanqi!"
The clear and touching words completely shattered Qi Zilong's illusions.
This is not the same name!
The first place happens to be the county seat of Shixi, and it happens to be named Zhao Xuanqi.
He naturally knew the details of Zhao Xuanqi and others. They were all poor scholars from Shixi County.
Therefore, the first place is the unattractive young man in front of him, this young man named Zhao Xuanqi!
He swallowed, startled by his own thoughts, and stood there in shock and fright.
Several other children from aristocratic families also looked shocked and looked at Zhao Xuanqi in disbelief. Being first in the examination means that he has a bright future. He is the most important person in the entire county and will only become someone that he and others look up to in the future. .
Did he and others actually mock such a person?
They never thought that Zhao Xuanqi, an ordinary person, would actually get the first place in the examination.
Suddenly, the children of several aristocratic families who were extremely arrogant just now were filled with uneasiness.
It was like falling suddenly from the sky to hell, and the extreme sense of difference made them realize that they had hit an iron plate.
"Brother Zhao, you really got the first place in the exam. Hurry up and scold these children from aristocratic families and take it out on us!"
Li Yuntian and the others came to their senses and said with red faces, they were scolded just now, how could they not scold them now?
Zhao Xuanqi just nodded calmly.
Then he walked forward slowly.
He came to Qi Zilong and looked down at this guy with triangular eyes, a rough head, and a habit of glaring at people with his nostrils.
Qi Zilong had not yet recovered from the shock. He took a few steps back and saw Zhao Xuanqi in fear: "You...what do you want to do? Even if you are number one, you can't hit me. This is within Ziyun County." !”
The voice is weak.
Because he understood that if Zhao Xuanqi was really number one, even those high-ranking officials would have to give Zhao Xuanqi some face.
If you just beat yourself up, the people above will never say anything.
The greater possibility is to reward Zhao Xuanqi, and then come to punish himself. How dare he, a member of a noble family, dare to quarrel with the number one? Even the family elders will beat themselves up!
He stepped back in fear.
Zhao Xuanqi did not take action, nor did he scold him angrily with veins popping out.
After all, what's the use of beating and scolding? The destructive power lies in the body. You can't beat the rich people to death in the county. Of course, it is best to kill the heart!
Instead, he said calmly: "Hello, your name is Qi Zilong, right? I just didn't hear the name of the No. 1 Juren candidate. Can you tell me what it is?"
The voice is gentle, calm and brisk.
Not slow, not slow, gentle and considerate.
People who don't know may think that Zhao Xuanqi is a good friend of Qi Zilong, and they will not think that the two belong to tit-for-tat camps.
So much so that Qi Zilong didn't even react. He replied subconsciously: "The first place is called Zhao Xuanqi."
Zhao Xuanqi smiled, pointed at himself, and said seriously, "I am this name!"
Then he turned around and left, not paying attention to Qi Zilong and others. He didn't even take a second look, and didn't even bother to give them the simplest glance.
Instead, he left with fellow villagers like Li Yuntian and walked away, leaving only a simple figure behind.
Li Yuntian was confused: "That guy was too arrogant and bullying just now. Why didn't you mock him?"
Zhao Xuanqi said: "You met a fool and a madman on the road and laughed at your low IQ. Would you argue with a fool and a madman?"
Li Yuntian said: "That's not true. A fool's IQ is lower than that of a normal person. If he wins the argument, he can't prove anything. There is no benefit at all. Once he loses the argument, others will say that he is not as good as the fool, and that he is not as good as the lunatic. There’s no point in arguing.”
Zhao Xuanqi: "Isn't that right?"
"..."
Afterwards, the figures of several people gradually disappeared into the crowd and could no longer be seen clearly.
Only Qi Zilong was left standing there stunned.
This guy didn't actually hit himself? !
He just ignored me! !
Crazy or stupid? ? ?
His face turned red with embarrassment, and he wanted to find a place to put his head in a hole.
No place to be ashamed of.
How cruel the ridicule was just now, how humiliating it is now.
Qi Zilong remembered that Zhao Xuanqi had just asked him to call out the number one name, and specifically emphasized that he was the number one. He was so humiliated at this moment: "Number one, number one, it turns out that he never looked at me in the eye from beginning to end, he just regarded me as a barking wild dog. dog……"
He felt extremely embarrassed.
As a child of a wealthy family, this is the first time I have experienced such humiliation!
He even hoped that Zhao Xuanqi would come over right now and beat him up, or mock him with fierce words and scold him viciously.
If you do this, you will feel better in your heart.
Now, Zhao Xuanqi left with a look of indifference.
Ignored to the extreme.
Like an invisible sword, it pierced into his heart fiercely. When he pulled it out, the skin and muscles were not damaged, but the heart in his body was broken to the ground, along with all the pride. His self-esteem was also shattered, and he was put on the ground and crushed.
Killing can only be done with a nod of the head, but killing must be done with the heart in mind!
Furious and furious, Qi Zilong only felt the pain in his heart. He covered his heart and stood there, feeling a little dazed.
If you offend such a person, I am afraid that your family will abandon you and punish you, or even suppress you. You may even regard yourself as an outcast.
However, the few children of the aristocratic families beside him scattered and left. Not only did they not care about Qi Zilong, they looked at Qi Zilong as if they were the god of plague.
You can still vaguely hear whispers:
"It's all Qi Zilong's fault. If he hadn't taken the lead in provoking these people, how could we have offended Juren No. 1?"
"He who is number one in the civil service industry has a bright future. He will definitely become a high official in the future. It is not something we can offend at all. We have suffered miserably from him."
"It's okay. Let's leave Qi Zilong as soon as possible. We haven't offended Zhao Xuanqi and others much. They don't know our names yet. Just leave Qi Zilong and don't get affected!"
Several classmates and friends left Qi Zilong one after another for fear of being retaliated by Juren No. 1, looking like they were eager to go as far away as possible.
"I!"
Qi Zilong did not expect this to happen.
He, who was already shy and angry, could not bear this kind of thing.
His face became extremely pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly covered his heart.
It was so exciting that my heart ached.
He didn't even come up with a breath. In the midst of this humiliation and anger, he vomited blood, fainted from the anger, and fell to the ground!
