The conversation between the two, which was obviously a double act, made Zhao Huan stunned for a moment. The officials behind him had different expressions, but the students in the audience all looked angry.
Wan Yanchang was trying to persuade Nu Qi on the surface, but even a fool could hear his intention. Try his skills? The guards around Nu Qi were all tall and burly with sharp eyes. Just by looking at their aura, you could tell that they were not easy to deal with.
, and no matter how talented these students are, how can they be their opponents? What's more, Wan Yanchang deliberately pointed out the words "both civil and military", which means that he plans to target those Confucian students.
Two words came to everyone's mind - shameless!
Qin Hui suddenly stepped forward from the crowd and sang loudly: "I am going to report to the officials. The personal guards of all the envoys are all selected from a hundred. The academy has just opened, and the students are still immature. I think this competition is unfair."
Zhao Huan was about to find the stairs. Qin Hui's appearance made him overjoyed and he quickly responded: "I am also..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wan Yanchang waved his hand and interrupted: "That's a bad statement. How is it unfair? Since Yingtian Academy is number one in the Song Dynasty, it should naturally be number one. It's just a little competition.
, and it won’t hurt your life, so I think you might as well give it a try.”
Xu Zizhen suddenly understood Wan Yanchang's intention. He mentioned several times that Yingtian Academy was the best in the Song Dynasty, and now he was pressing harder to test the students' skills. It was clear that he was bullying the weak with the strong. In Zhao Huan's case,
Xu Zizhen and the students were severely humiliated in front of all the officials. When the time came, Zhao Huan became so angry that he would probably disband and close the college.
After all, the Jin people were wary of Yingtian Academy being transformed into a civil and military academy, or they were wary of Xu Zizhen. Who knows what these students could learn in a year or two, and maybe in the future they would become the conqueror of the Jin Kingdom.
The biggest obstacle.
Zhao Huan's face looked as ugly as possible. Wan Yanchang had already made it very clear. Today's competition seemed inevitable and there was no way he could escape it. He sighed secretly and if it didn't work, just pick one or two.
They come out to fight, and as long as no one is killed, the most they can do is comfort them afterwards.
Thinking of this, he winked at Xu Zizhen, meaning to tell him not to be impulsive. For the sake of the overall situation, just pick two strong people who can take the beating and deal with it. All the officials and students also turned their attention to it, and every time
Everyone is waiting for Xu Zizhen to get angry.
Xu Zizhen's face was changing, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Okay, General Nuqi can try it if he wants to, but it's a bit boring to try like this, so how about adding some fun?"
Nucci glanced at him: "How to add color? How much?"
Xu Zizhen stretched out a hand: "Five thousand taels of gold a game, whoever wins will take it."
Everyone in the audience was shocked by him. Five thousand taels of gold? Xu Zizhen really dared to speak. These students dared to place such a heavy bet after being chosen casually. Is he looking for death?
The scene suddenly became quiet, and Xu Zizhen chuckled and said, "How about General Nuqi, do you want to bet or not?"
Nu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly exchanged a look with Wan Yanchang without leaving any trace. Wan Yanchang was also stunned. What kind of medicine was sold in Xu Zizhen's gourd? Could these students have really been taught by him in a short period of time?
Become invincible against ten thousand people? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Xu Zizhen's eyes seemed to be flickering. Wan Yanchang suddenly realized that there were so many enemies. Xu Zizhen was deliberately scaring people, hoping to scare himself away with a heavy bet so that he would not embarrass those students again.
Hey! Trying to hide something!
After thinking about this, he did not hesitate and said with a big smile: "It's just five thousand taels of gold, don't you think General Nuqi can't afford it?" He winked at Nuqi.
Nu Qi immediately understood and said coldly: "Exactly." He waved his hands, and the two guards carried a box. Seeing that the workmanship of the box was made in the Song Dynasty, it was clearly a congratulatory gift from Zhao Huangang to them.
Xu Zizhen's expression became extremely ugly by the way, and he couldn't laugh anymore: "This..."
Wan Yanchang would not give him another chance to shirk, and said with a smile: "General Nuqi's lottery has been taken out. I wonder if Xu Dian's lottery is ready?"
Zhao Gou suddenly spoke to Zhao Huan and said, "As a reminder to the officials, the academy is under the rule of the emperor's younger brother. Xu Zizhen's share will be paid by the emperor's younger brother."
Zhao Huan was already depressed at this time and had no intention of saying anything else. He waved his hand casually and said: "That's right."
Not long after, Zhao Huan also ordered two boxes to be brought in, and they opened them to reveal an ingot of golden ingots inside. Wanyanchang's smile became brighter, as if he had seen himself taking the gold with him when he returned.
Without saying another word, Nuqi waved his hand and walked up to a guard from beside him. He had a strong figure and proud eyes. He took off his leather armor and threw it on the ground. He jumped down to the stage and looked at the students with disdain.
Take a look.
Xu Zizhen looked downcast and had resigned himself to his fate, and said helplessly: "Then please ask General Nuqi to choose someone."
Nu Qi had already set his sights. He was always cautious in doing things and never fought an uncertain battle. As everyone guessed, he didn't even look at those martial arts, he only watched among the Confucian scholars. In the end, his
His eyes stopped on the face of someone in the crowd, and he found that the other students had obvious anger and fierce fighting spirit in their eyes. Only he looked nervous and looked around secretly.
Are you feeling guilty and scared? Humph!
Nu Qi pointed far away: "Do you know boxing and kicking skills?"
The student was obviously stunned for a moment, and pointed to his nose: "I? This... understands a thing or two."
"That's you."
The smile that couldn't be suppressed on Wan Yanchang's face showed that people from the Song Dynasty really didn't know what to say, and they had to take care of face when they were about to die.
Xu Zizhen's face looked a little ugly, and he forced a smile and said: "Let's have a good competition. If you win, I will share half of the prize with you."
Wow!
There was a commotion below. Half of the lottery prize was 2,500 taels of gold, equivalent to tens of thousands of silver. This was about to get rich!
The student's eyes lit up and he stood up with his chest raised: "Yes, students take the order!"
Wan Yanchang smiled so hard that the fat on his cheeks trembled, and he pretended to be kind and said, "What is your last name?"
The student bowed respectfully and responded politely: "Student Shang Tong."
"Very good, let's start the competition." Wan Yanchang waved his hand with a smile, and his eyes drifted to the two boxes of gold in front of Zhao Gou.
The Tibetan guard was already waiting impatiently. As soon as Wan Yanchang finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed towards Shang Tong. Shang Tong and Wan Yanchang didn't have time to turn around after speaking, but still turned sideways to face him,
Seeing that the guard's claws were about to touch his neck, but at the critical moment, he suddenly ducked and narrowly avoided it. Then he stood up straight again in an instant, passed through the guard's armpit with his left hand, and struck out with a knife.
Hit him behind the ear accurately, steadily and hard.
There was a muffled sound, and the guard threw himself face down on the ground without saying a word, and did not move again.
Shang Tong retracted his hand, turned around in front of countless pairs of widened eyes on the stage, and bowed with great respect as before: "Guan family, gentlemen, can the student win?"
