Zhao Yan thought he knew the relationship between Tang Miaoxin and First City, and thought that it was really King Dingbei who entrusted First City to choose a son-in-law for Tang Miaoxin.
So he was very polite to everyone in the First City.
Hua Xinyu didn't care about their attitude. After being polite to them, she directly explained the rules for choosing a son-in-law for Tang Miaoxin.
The rules are very simple and are divided into civil and martial arts fights.
Wen Dou competes with literary talents, while Wu Dou competes with martial arts.
There are three civil fights and three physical fights. Whoever wins the most times in total will be the winner.
When Tang Miaoxin heard this competition, she secretly gave Hua Xinyu a thumbs up. She was worthy of being her eldest aunt. This competition method was truly unique.
Hua Xinyu had prepared the venue in the garden before, and Ning Guzhou and the three of them sat down one after another.
Wen Dou needed a tutor to write the questions, so Cheng Lixue took the initiative to ask Ying to be the tutor.
As a great scholar of his generation who was famous all over the world, Hua Xinyu naturally had no objection to him coming up with the topic.
She secretly said to Cheng Lixue: "Make the questions more difficult, otherwise you will not be able to show your level as a great scholar of your generation."
Cheng Lixue agreed with Hua Xinyu's words.
When he was about to give the question, Tang Miaoxin came again. He was very nervous when he saw her coming: "What are you going to do?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "We are master and apprentice, can't I come and see you?"
Cheng Lixue had suffered a lot of losses at her hands, big and small, and didn't believe a word she said.
When he saw her walking towards him, he took several steps back and said coldly: "Don't come over!"
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "What are you doing with this expression? You are a bad old man of your age, and I won't do anything to you."
When Cheng Lixue heard this, she subconsciously reached out to cover the wig on her head and said, "Don't pull out my hair!"
The corners of Tang Miaoxin's lips raised slightly: "It's okay if I don't pull out your hair, you have to listen to me."
Cheng Lixue secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid of you, right? I'll listen to you from now on!"
He thought that Tang Miaoxin would ask her to give Ning Guzhou some trouble, but he didn't expect that she would say, "Put the questions in a difficult direction. It's best if they are a little more biased."
Cheng Lixue was stunned at first, but soon understood why.
He curled his lips slightly and said, "You have quite a lot of confidence in Ning Guzhou."
He remembered another thing and asked, "Did Ning Guzhou help you cheat in Mingyue Tower?"
He thought about that matter for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what she did wrong in the first place.
Today Tang Miaoxin asked him to make the questions more difficult. He was basically sure that Ning Guzhou helped her cheat in the first place.
Tang Miaoxin would not admit it: "Who said that? I obviously took the exam based on my ability."
Cheng Lixue chuckled. The more she said this, the less he believed it.
But that matter was the biggest mystery in his heart, so he said: "I will listen to you today. How about you tell me the reason after Ning Guzhou wins?"
Tang Miaoxin glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it then!"
When she said this, Cheng Lixue knew that she agreed.
Although Tang Miaoxin always felt that Cheng Lixue was a bit pretentious, there was no doubt about his own learning.
Over the years, he has copied many articles and poems from their dynasties, but he has also thoroughly understood the literature of this era.
Asking him to give them more difficult test questions is really not difficult for him.
As soon as Cheng Lixue had a problem, he immediately fooled Aguza. Linyuan people advocated force and did not pay much attention to literary talent.
Although Aguza is the eldest prince and has received a good cultural education, he himself has not developed this skill.
The question asked by Cheng Lixue, he knew what it meant if the individual words were taken apart, but when they were put together, he didn't know what it meant.
Although Zhao Yan received the most elite education, he also had a strong learning ability and had many unique insights of his own.
But no matter how powerful he is, he still doesn't have Ning Guzhou's photographic memory.
So after comparing the three literary tests, Zhao Yan won one, Ning Guzhou won two, and Aguza got zero points in three.
Aguza is very depressed. He can only marry Tang Miaoxin if he wins three consecutive martial arts tests.
He had fought with Ning Guzhou before his martial arts skills were lost, and he was not Ning Guzhou's opponent.
Now his martial arts is only less than 50% of what it was before, and he has no chance of winning, and he is very depressed for a while.
Before the martial arts competition, there is a quarter of an hour's rest time.
Zhao Yan found Aguza: "Ning Guzhou's strength is too strong. Only by joining forces can we have a chance to defeat him."
Zhao Yan saw Ning Guzhou making a move and knew that his martial arts skills were far better than his own.
Although he also learned martial arts, his skills were incomparable to Ning Guzhou.
He originally thought that he would definitely beat Ning Guzhou in the literary test, but he did not expect that Ning Guzhou was a martial artist with such profound cultural attainments.
He tried his best but was only slightly better than Ning Guzhou in terms of strategy, which made him feel tremendous pressure.
This time he was determined to win Tang Miao, but he knew that he could not win over Ning Guzhou on his own, so he approached Aguza.
Aguza looked at him and said, "You don't want to join forces, but you want me to help you, right?"
Zhao Yan nodded: "That's what I really mean. You have lost three games in a row and have no chance of winning, but I still have a chance."
Aguza said coldly: "Why should I help you?"
Zhao Yan smiled: "Qinzhou and Linyuan had enmity before."
"Previously, Qinzhou defeated Linyuan several times and killed countless Linyuan people with its own power."
"If Ning Guzhou is allowed to marry Lu Yingxiu, it will only strengthen Qinzhou's strength."
"With Ning Guzhou's temperament, when Qinzhou grows stronger, Linyuan will be the first to be destroyed."
Aguza's expression changed slightly: "My status in Linyuan is embarrassing. Whether Linyuan will be destroyed by Qinzhou will not have much impact on me."
Zhao Yan looked at him and said, "Your background may be embarrassing, but you are still the eldest prince in name."
"If you help me marry Lu Yingxiu today, I will help you ascend the throne of Linyuan in the future."
Aguza's eyes deepened. He weighed it in his mind and asked, "Why should I trust you?"
Zhao Yan's voice became a little deeper: "I, Zhao Yan, always mean what I say, and now this is the only thing I can promise you."
"And if Ning Guzhou gets his wish, the eldest prince also knows what impact it will have on Linyuan."
Aguza hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, I'll help you!"
The two discussed the details of the cooperation and quickly reached a consensus.
Although Aguza doesn't like Zhao Yan very much and thinks he is an insidious villain, compared with Ning Guzhou, Zhao Yan is better.
He didn't expect Zhao Yan to help him ascend to the throne of Linyuan in the future, but it was better than Ning Guzhou gaining power.
Zhao Yan said softly: "Ning Guzhou was injured by Dayan's hidden guard last time. His injuries were not minor, and his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."
"So as soon as the eldest prince attacks, and the wounds on his body are opened, we have a great chance of winning."
