Yun Mengya's explanation was very clear, which also made Shi Yezhi's face turn red. The talented people around him covered their mouths and sneered. Although the sound was not loud, it was obvious that it was really embarrassing to be embarrassed! Shi Yezhi wished he could find a place.
When he got through the gap, he looked at Zhang Tao with eyes full of resentment. If Zhang Tao hadn't shown it, he wouldn't have been embarrassed.
Zhang Tao completely ignored his look. This person was narrow-minded and could not be successful at all. "Miss Yun, you're welcome. Now that Zhang has come out, can I leave?"
At this time, the monk who had kept his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes: "Since Mr. Zhang is reciting the couplet, why don't you go in and recite it? The ancient prince is waiting for you."
Hearing these words, Yun Mengya and Lu Bo were both quite envious. After all, King Gu was the only brother of the current emperor, while Shi Yezhi had an angry look on his face. He didn't expect that his provocation would actually succeed the other person.
"I still have something important to do. Due to the great love of the ancient king, Zhang can only apologize. Master, I'm sorry." After saying this, Zhang Tao drifted away, leaving behind a group of stunned students.
Some people think that Zhang Tao is not interested in fame and wealth, and he is upright and upright. Some people think that Zhang Tao has a strong background and does not need to join the ancient king's camp. However, his true talent and knowledge are real, and this pairing makes everyone want to break his head.
, he answered it simply.
"Haoran Academy, the literary school may be a formidable enemy this time." Lu Bo said as he looked at Zhang Tao who was walking away.
Yun Mengya sighed, "I originally thought he was just a sensationalist, but I didn't expect that he actually has real talent and learning! It seems that your concerns are right, but it doesn't matter. The literary competition may not be couplets, maybe what he is good at is
What about the couplet? If we encounter others, they may not be able to defeat us."
"That's all I can think of." Lu Bo said.
"Mengya, you don't have to worry, I can prevent him from participating in the exchange meeting at any time." Shi Yezhi's eyes were full of hatred, and it was obvious that he hated Zhang Tao deeply.
Yun Mengya looked at Shi Yezhi with disdain, but did not show it, "Master Shi, don't be like this... This is a sensitive moment, and we are here in a dignified manner today. If anything happens to Zhang Tao, we will definitely be suspected.
, then we will be in trouble. Don’t underestimate the power of Haoran Academy.”
"Huh, consider him lucky." Shi Yezhi said coldly.
"Let's go back to the guild hall." Yun Mengya said lightly. She originally came out to relax today, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and her interest was gone.
But the monk just now came to the ancient king and told the whole story. When the ancient king heard the word Zhang Tao, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Are you sure your name is Zhang Tao?"
"Absolutely true."
"Okay! You go down." The ancient king said calmly.
After the monk left, a young man said fiercely, "This Zhang Tao is indeed so annoying. He deserves to offend Mengran Academy as soon as he comes. He will definitely become the target of public criticism at this academy exchange meeting." This person is the only one of the ancient kings.
My son, Gu Bin!
"Zhang Tao's talent is indeed very good, but he is participating in the competition on behalf of the martial arts sect. If he also participates in exchanges with the literary sect, your uncle will be happy to meet him." King Gu said slowly.
Gu Bin snorted coldly, "So what if Uncle Huang chooses Zhang Tao? The Imperial City is our territory, why can't we still find a chance to deal with him? Besides, this time, although I am not the representative student participating in the competition, I am a master from a university in Beijing."
I know that I will let them do it secretly."
The ancient king did not continue to speak, but there was a trace of thought in his eyes. In another place, four young people were sitting opposite each other. Three of them were Zhang Tao's biggest targets this time: Sima Changkong, Sima Ruomeng and Shen Jian! And! There was another person whom Zhang Tao had never seen before.
"I didn't expect that the fastest one this time would be Haoran Academy." The young man smiled and took a sip of tea.
"What's the use of fast? I really want to see if that arrogant boy will come after two years? Could it be that he can't represent the school in the competition? If so, it will be so disappointing, I really want to He was beaten until his teeth were all over the floor." Shen Jian said coldly.
"Chen Jian, don't be careless. You are not unaware of the information we have obtained. He is already one of the top ten masters of Haoran Academy." Sima Changkong said.
"Hmph...what's the use? Is he your opponent, Brother Sima? Is he my opponent?" Shen Jian said disdainfully.
"Brother Lu, your Mengran Academy is probably coming with a lot of force this time, and your strength is extraordinary, right?" Sima Changkong said suddenly.
It turns out that the strange young man in front of me is also from Mengran Academy. "Haha, Brother Sima, I'm sorry, but I also know about your bet with Zhang Tao, but I just want to say one thing, Zhang Tao's strength is definitely not what you imagined. It’s simple, just be careful in everything.”
"Brother Lu, why did you say this?" Sima Ruomeng and Sima Changkong looked at each other, and then asked.
"Haha, Mr. Lv was lucky enough to once witness Zhang Tao going on a killing spree... That's it for now. I'll say goodbye first and meet for exchanges!" This young man was the one who sat in the teahouse opposite when Zhang Tao wiped out the Yu family. Man! He witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Zhang Tao exterminating the Yu family, and was naturally extremely afraid of Zhang Tao.
"Silver Thread Chasing Soul, I wonder if I am lucky enough to fight with you?" The young man murmured while looking at the bustling street.
"Isn't Lu Kong too alarmist? I think he did it on purpose to suppress our Huyu Academy. It's despicable and shameless." Shen Jian said disdainfully. What he was most unhappy about was that others recognized Zhang Tao, because that would be disrespectful to him. insult.
Sima Changkong shook his head, "I understand Lu Kong. He is by no means a random person. We cannot be careless this time no matter what."
"Hmph." Shen Jian was still disdainful...his eyes were full of indifference. "If you are touched by me, I will teach you a lesson." Shen Jian thought silently in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Tao returned to the guild hall. Perhaps the four universities have arrived one after another, and the Shangjing University in the Imperial City generally does not come to live here. They can naturally rest in their own university, so why bother looking far away? Of course, some individuals People who want to come here to see other universities in advance are another matter.
"Excuse me, are you Zhang Tao, Mr. Zhang?" At this time, the man standing at the door of the guild hall ran over and asked, with a respectful look on his face. Seeing that there was a sedan next to him, Zhang Tao was full of doubts. Did he know him in the imperial city? What kind of acquaintance can’t be achieved?
"Yes, I am."
"My young master invites you," the man said.
Zhang Tao frowned. To be honest, he was unfamiliar with the place where he came to this center of power, and he didn't want to have too much contact with it. If Shiye hadn't been too intimidating just now, Zhang Tao would never show off. Is it because of this? Did someone pay attention to me with just a couplet? Or did the ancient king come to visit the thatched cottage?
"I wonder who the young master of your family is?" Zhang Tao asked.
"Meng Hua!" This man was very respectful, but Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that it was this kid. Didn't he come to stand in front of him a long time ago?
Meng Hua is the young master of the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce. It is definitely a simple and enjoyable thing to come to the Imperial City to watch his game, but I didn't expect that he would actually invite me.
But if it's Meng Hua, I don't care. "Excuse me, please take me there." If the other party borrows Meng Hua's name, then this person must be the ancient king, because only the ancient king knows his relationship with Meng Hua.
.
Without wasting much time on the sedan chair, we arrived in front of a manor. It looked like this manor was relatively new, as if everything had been newly decorated.
"Master Zhang, please." Two fifth-level martial arts masters were guarding the door. They saw this servant taking Zhang Tao without asking. When he walked in, he saw that there seemed to be many craftsmen coming and going everywhere. It seemed that they were repairing something.
Do you know if this manor is being renovated or under construction?
Not long after, they came to a place that looked like a living room, and there was a burst of hearty laughter. "Master, young master! Bring Mr. Zhang here!" As soon as the servant finished speaking, the door opened. It was undoubtedly Meng Hua.
Haha, Zhang Tao, you are finally here. Come on, let me introduce you to my father."
Zhang Tao was pulled in by Meng Hua. Sitting on the seat immediately was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a rich look on his face. This man had some similarities with Meng Hua, but there was something more in his eyes.
There is a precipitate, as if you want to see anything in his eyes is wishful thinking.
"Haha, you are the Zhang Tao that my son often mentions? Well... you are indeed a talented person and a hero among people. My son did not lie... Haha." This man is Meng Hua's father: Meng Yuanshan, the most famous person in Honghao Kingdom.
One of the four wealthy people!
However, it seems that he has not experienced the vicissitudes of life as he imagined. His head is full of black hair, and it is difficult to see silver. It seems that Meng Hua makes him quite worry-free, but Zhang Tao knows that this Meng Yuanshan is by no means a simple person, otherwise how can he support such a big man?
chamber of commerce?
"Uncle praised...Zhang Tao has met Uncle Meng!"
"You're welcome. You and my son are good brothers from the same school, and naturally you are also my junior. Just call me Uncle Meng. It's more cordial and natural." Meng Yuanshan said with a smile.
"Uncle Meng..." Zhang Tao shouted honestly, and Meng Hua on the side interrupted and said, "Zhang Tao... this literary exchange meeting is up to you. Don't you embarrass me, brother? I
But I told you how awesome you are in front of my father, so you have to behave well."
"Tao'er... Although Meng Hua is an outspoken child, he is still very accurate in judging people. I have always believed in his vision. Now it seems that you are better than what he said?" Meng Yuanshan said with a smile.
"Don't dare..."
"Well...you are full of young people. What are your plans to leave Haoran Academy in the future?" Suddenly, Meng Yuanshan asked.
