…
Chang'an City, Gold and Silver Platform.
A smile appeared on Emperor Qian's face. He dropped a white stone and said leisurely: "Second sir, it seems that I have won."
"Really?" The second gentleman's expression remained as usual, with a dark spot on his face.
Emperor Qian frowned, stared at the chessboard for a while, then raised his eyes to Mr. Er, "Are you sure you want to play here?"
"No?" The second gentleman raised his eyebrows lightly.
Emperor Qian reminded: "If you play here, I will eat the whole white piece."
Mr. Er said calmly: "What? Your Majesty thinks I can't play chess?"
Qianhuang smiled, said nothing more, dropped a white piece, and swallowed Mr. Er's black piece.
The situation of the chess game has become completely clear, and the balance of victory seems to have completely shifted to black.
"Second Senior Brother is going to lose?" Tang Jiabao, who had been standing behind Mr. Second and silently watching the game, frowned slightly. His Second Senior Brother had never lost before.
"Will the academy really lose?" Li Xianyuan looked to the east with deep eyes.
The second gentleman settled down calmly.
The chess game continues.
Thirteen pieces were played against each other, and Emperor Qian was indecisive.
"Surprisingly, he's alive again."
Tang Jiabao's eyes were bright and a proud smile appeared on his face.
The second senior brother is the second senior brother, how could he lose?
"Throw yourself into death and live again." Li Xianyuan thought thoughtfully.
…
On the ancient bridge.
Li Yuanhua's face was full of pride and he looked at Chu Xiu who was approaching with a mocking look.
In Chu Xiu's hand, there was a luxurious shoe.
"First take off these stinky shoes for me, and then wipe my feet clean..." Li Yuanhua ordered unceremoniously, the sarcasm on his face getting stronger.
"He won't." The landlady, Zhu Yourong, and Zuo Chong all thought in their hearts.
The Chu Xiu they knew would never bend his eyebrows to serve the so-called powerful!
Chu Xiu stood in front of Li Yuanhua, smelled a sour shoe smell, and frowned.
"Why do your feet smell so bad?" Chu Xiu looked disgusted.
Li Yuanhua's face, which was already red and swollen, turned red instantly, "My feet don't stink, it's these shoes that stink."
"Oh." Chu Xiu said softly and held his breath.
Then, he secretly cursed 'treacherous' and had to speak again: "Look at your shoes, do they look like a frozen fish?"
Li Yuanhua's face froze.
Snapped!
Chu Xiu picked up the tail of his shoe and slapped Li Yuanhua directly on the cheek.
"Presumptuous!" Jin Peng, the leader of the Bird Guard who had been standing behind Li Yuan's incarnation, was furious and was about to take action.
Uh-huh!
The tip of a spear was pressed against the back of Jin Peng's neck.
"What kind of status do you have, and you dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Chu?" Zuo Chong said coldly.
Jin Peng's face changed drastically and his body froze.
"This is the academy's assessment. If anyone else dares to participate, they are the enemy of the academy." The hunchbacked old man said with a leisurely smile, radiating an astonishing momentum.
All the bird guards looked at each other, no one dared to move.
Chu Xiu smiled.
"As I walked along, I saw many dandy boys running rampant on the streets." Chu Xiu said leisurely, "Whenever a candidate drew his sword in anger, those dandy boys seemed to be a different person, and they all turned around and ran away.
His Highness Prince Ji, you are very extraordinary. I admire you very much for being able to sit as tall as a mountain. "
With that said, Chu Xiu used the sole of his shoe to slap King Ji Li Yuanhua in the face.
Li Yuanhua's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Why can't I move alone? Have you poisoned me?"
"No." Chu Xiu looked innocent, "Are you too weak?"
With that said, another shoe sole.
"Lonely...!" Li Yuanhua's face was filled with ferociousness. He wanted to say something cruel, but found that he couldn't make any sound.
"Asshole!" Li Yuanhua screamed crazily in his heart.
"Be patient." Chu Xiu said leisurely while pumping the soles of his shoes, "This matter will definitely spread for a long time in the future. If you kneel down and beg for mercy, it will affect your image too much.
Men must be strong-willed! "
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Li Yuanhua burst into tears.
"You cannot go with others for the academy's initial exam. If two people go together, the difficulty will be four times, three people will be eight times more difficult, and four people will be sixteen times more difficult."
Saying that, Chu Xiu glanced at the hunchbacked old man and smiled, "I have five people here, and the difficulty is thirty-two times.
I'll slap you thirty-two soles! "
Chu Xiu never talks empty words. He said he would smoke Li Yuanhua's thirty-two soles, so he would smoke thirty-two soles.
No more at once, no less at once!
After smoking, he left.
On the ancient bridge, Li Yuanhua had fainted.
The whole face was swollen into a pig's head!
In fact, compared to frozen fish, the soles are quite mild.
On the bluestone path.
"This time, I have completely offended Li Yuanhua." Zuo Chong said helplessly.
"Then keep singing and keep moving forward!"
Chu Xiu smiled lightly, his handsome face exuding a hint of high spirits.
Zuo Chong glanced at Chu Xiu and said nothing more.
"It would be a shame if you don't go into the back mountain." The hunchbacked old man said with a smile.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "I also want to enter the back mountain, but I don't know if the dean will accept it."
The hunchbacked old man smiled meaningfully and said: "As long as you can keep making great progress and defeat all the candidates this time, you can enter the back mountain."
"I'm looking forward to it." Chu Xiu was really looking forward to it.
Originally, his biggest purpose in coming to Chang'an City was to hope that the dean could help him solve the problem of cold poison.
Ever since he found out that Tang Jiabao was holding a frozen fish and slapped Li Yuanhua hard on the face, his favorable impression of the people behind the academy skyrocketed.
"It's not easy for Wang Quan to smile." Zuo Chong reminded.
"This time, the most extraordinary thing is not Wang Quan's smile." The hunchbacked old man said with a smile.
"Oh?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "Is there anything more powerful than Wang Quan's smile?"
Wang Quan smiled and was once the top of the Fuyao list. This alone was enough to calm countless people.
Not to mention, this man is also the nephew of Mr. Shan Er, the back of the academy.
"There is a boy named Chen who claims to be the best in all three hundred and sixty trades." The hunchbacked old man said with a smile.
"The boy named Chen? What is his name?" Chu Xiu was curious.
The hunchbacked old man said leisurely: "When you meet him, you will naturally know."
Chu Xiu curled his lips.
"Old sir, I wonder if there are any tests ahead?" the landlady interjected.
The hunchbacked old man did not answer directly. Instead, he glanced at Chu Xiu and asked, "Boy, do you know what the preliminary exam is about?"
Chu Xiu pondered for a moment and uttered two words: "Integrity."
Along the way, he saw mostly dandy boys from Chang'an City bullying the candidates.
Every time a candidate draws his sword, the dandies turn around and run away.
"An Neng is able to bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy." The hunchbacked old man groaned softly and praised, "What you said is really good."
Chu Xiu was surprised, "Does the old gentleman know that this is what I said?"
He only said this poem in front of Zuo Chong and Li Xianyuan. It was his reply to Emperor Qian to win over him.
The hunchbacked old man said leisurely: "Don't underestimate the academy."
"I don't underestimate the academy, I just think this first test is a bit too easy." Chu Xiu shrugged.
The hunchbacked old man chuckled and said: "Every street in Chang'an City is monitored by gentlemen from the academy. Very few people can fish in troubled waters."
"That's it." Chu Xiu understood.
This is the academy recruiting students, and the questions are also given by the academy. Naturally, the gentlemen of the academy have the final say on who passes.
It's just a bit...too cheesy!
"I thought the test for me would be extremely difficult." Chu Xiu clicked his tongue, not knowing what he meant.
"Do you think Mr. Second will specifically target you if you steal Wang Quan Yixiao's spot at the top of the Fuyao List?" The hunchbacked old man raised his eyebrows lightly.
"No." Chu Xiu denied it.
"You underestimate Mr. Er's belly too much." The hunchbacked old man said with a long smile, "I don't even see you in my eyes. I don't even know your name."
Chu Xiu: "..."
…
Suzaku Street.
Gu Chensha frowned.
In front, there is a luxuriously decorated chariot.
Sitting on the chariot was an acquaintance.
The eldest prince of Daqian, Li Yuanxiong.
Gu Chensha and Li Yuanxiong once talked over wine and they were friends.
"Your test this time is that you are alone." Li Yuanxiong stepped out of the chariot with a wine bottle in one hand and two wine glasses in the other, and sighed softly, "I never thought that such a day would come."
"What do you mean?" Gu Chensha asked with a frown.
Li Yuanxiong walked half a foot in front of Gu Chensha and shrugged, "The meaning is very simple. If you want to pass the preliminary examination, you need to sever ties with Gu.
See you later, you and I will be enemies. "
Gu Chensha frowned even more tightly and sneered, "I don't believe the academy will conduct such a test."
"Didn't you find any problems along the way?" Li Yuanxiong looked at Gu Chensha and said, "At this moment, Gu's father is at Jinyintai, playing chess with the second gentleman of the academy.
This time, it was not only the academy's preliminary examination, but also a competition between the Daqian Dynasty and the Suzaku Academy.
Chang'an City is used as a chessboard, and many candidates are used as chess pieces.
You and I are both in the game. "
"Is there a conflict between your royal family and the academy?" Gu Chensha seemed to have some realization, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Can I change the path?"
"Haha~, your temper seems to have changed." Li Yuanxiong laughed, feeling a little surprised in his heart.
Gu Chensha smiled and said: "Recently, I have made a few friends, probably influenced by them."
"I heard about it." Li Yuanxiong nodded and whispered, "The enemy who is defeated in my hands will never be regarded as my opponent again. I will give you time to catch up until you are out of sight.
I liked this passage very much, but unfortunately, I couldn't have a drink with the person who said it. "
"He won't like you." Gu Chensha secretly thought, looking up at Li Yuanxiong, "I treat you as a friend, you shouldn't embarrass me."
Li Yuanxiong smiled and said: "This is really lonely."
"If you get out of the way, we will still be friends in the future." Gu Chensha said solemnly, "If you don't get out of the way, we will no longer be friends regardless of whether I join the Suzaku Academy or not.
You should know what I mean. "
Li Yuanxiong was silent.
He does understand.
"Hey, are you leaving?"
Suddenly, an impatient urging sound came from behind Gu Chensha.
Gu Chensha frowned, but before he could turn around, a white figure appeared in front of him, blocking him and Li Yuanxiong.
"Go away." Li Yuanxiong said coldly.
"Looking for a fight!"
A soft hum sounded.
Under Gu Chensha's shocked gaze, the man in white in front of him took out a light yellow short stick.
The next moment, Li Yuanxiong's entire body flew directly to the right.
Gu Chensha's expression changed drastically.
"Your Highness!" The expressions of the guards on both sides of the chariot also changed.
Half of the guards immediately rushed to the eldest prince Li Yuanxiong, and half of the guards surrounded the man in white and Gu Chensha.
The man in white turned back, glanced at Gu Chensha, and raised his chin slightly, "Boy, I heard that you did something big at the Tianjiao Banquet a few days ago. Are you interested in doing something big with me today?" "
"What's the matter?" Gu Chensha asked calmly.
The man in white in front of him is an extremely handsome young man with a wild smile on his face.
In his hand, there was a short yellowish stick.
"That day, someone wrote a poem, saying, 'You are so proud of the spring breeze that you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.'" The young man in white said with a smile, "Today, how about you follow me and defeat all the dandies in the city in one day?"
Gu Chensha's eyelids twitched slightly.
Kill all the dandies in the city in one day?
Is this going to offend the entire city of Chang'an?
"Are you sure you want to take the Zhuque Academy exam?" Gu Chensha asked hesitantly.
"Of course." The young man in white raised his chin again, "Not only do I have to take the exam of Suzaku Academy, but I also have to always be the first."
"Since you have such confidence, why do you need to accompany me?" Gu Chensha said in a dull voice.
The young man in white grinned, "You have to remember that when you want to do something spectacular, you must find a few witnesses, so that your happiness will be doubled."
Gu Chensha was silent for a moment, speechless in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what the master's name is?"
He wanted to know which family this arrogant young man belonged to?
"me."
"My name is Chen Changsheng."
"Soon, this name will be heard throughout the Nineteen States!"
