The Wulinghou Mansion is not far from the Daqian Palace, and Li Changkong arrived relatively early.
It turns out that arriving early is not as good as arriving late.
When he came, a stupid and strong man was standing in front of the East Palace, looking around.
He looks like...the silly son of a landlord.
Based on the other party's temperament, Li Changkong accurately called out two words: "Old Jia?"
When Jia Taisui heard this, he turned around and saw Li Changkong, and a sense of surprise suddenly filled his eyes.
Nowadays, most of the distinguished disciples are convinced by Li Changkong.
Because this guy really helped them make money before! Although it’s not much, it’s just the interest earned nine times a year, but it’s real money, isn’t it? And it’s free money, who wouldn’t want it?
Later, the fact that Li Changkong won the first place in the literary examination and was awarded a golden inkstone also spread among the circles of distinguished disciples.
Good guy, this guy's reputation has taken a 180-degree turn for a while. Regardless of Li Changkong's moral character, at least he is talented. This matter is basically finalized.
Imagine that a person who is more capable than you is able to help you make money, would you not like him?
Of course not, so even some of the distinguished disciples who had not been very fond of Li Changkong now have a somewhat favorable impression of him.
But because the only people who were willing to lend money to Li Changkong at that time were Jia Taisui, Zhang Han and Zhu Ben, most of them did not get any money, so... there was some goodwill, but not much.
"Changkong, are you here too? From Qianlong Camp?"
Li Changkong nodded and said: "Since we are all here, it seems that Lao Zhang is not far away."
As soon as Li Changkong finished speaking, he heard Zhang Han's voice coming from behind, which quite meant that Cao Cao had arrived.
"Han's journey was slow and we delayed him for a while. Brother Li and Brother Jia, you're all right." Zhang Han continued to speak politely, but Li Changkong didn't care. He raised his hands and bowed, which was regarded as a salute.
"And me, Old Li, Old Li, you are so unkind!" Behind Zhang Han, Zhu Ben couldn't wait to stand up and point at Li Changkong, the expression on his face was heartbreaking.
He vaguely remembered that at the Imperial Academy dinner, this guy told him sternly that the essay questions were too difficult, and he just wrote them randomly.
The result was good, I got first place in the essay test by scribbling directly, and I got a gold inkstone by scribbling!
Everyone is writing randomly, why are you so good?
Liar! This old Li family is a being who deceives people without blinking an eye!
When Li Changkong saw Zhu Ben's appearance, he immediately touched his nose and felt quite guilty.
Generally speaking, shouldn’t top academics who do well in exams should be overly modest?
He obviously followed the rules, but who would have thought that Zhu Ben couldn't understand the deeper meaning, so I really can't blame him.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just a first place in the literary test? Why is this?" Li Changkong persuaded, but as soon as he said this, Zhu Ben became even more angry.
Good guy, what do you mean by being the first in the literary test?
Is it easy to get first place in the literary test? He had to risk his life to get third in the literary test, which happened to meet the requirements of Emperor Zhu Wen, so he was exempted from punishment.
Who would have thought that this guy would just say "Isn't he just the first in the literary test?"
In an instant, Zhu Ben was ready to kill the other party.
"Ahem, cough, let's get down to business. According to Qianlong Camp's regulations, we came to the East Palace to report. Why is there no movement at all?" Zhang Han saw this and hurriedly persuaded.
After Zhu Ben heard this, he calmed down a little.
If you can get third place in the literary test, you are certainly not a fool, and you still have some brains.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to give us a stumbling block?"
Xiajiazi is a jargon term, and its general meaning is to show off one's power.
"We have never offended His Highness the Crown Prince, not to mention that the Qianlong Camp is responsible for protecting the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince, so... why is this so?" Zhang Han analyzed in an orderly manner.
When Li Changkong heard this, he silently shook his head.
Recalling His Highness the Prince, whom he had met once in Nanhe Lane that day, he said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you won't act according to common sense."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the East Palace behind the four people suddenly opened.
The soldiers of Qianlong Camp were waiting in full formation, looking at them with regret and pity in their eyes.
When Zhang Han and others saw this, their hearts trembled, and they realized that something was wrong. They were afraid that Li Changkong was right.
Sure enough, a moment later, the prince walked out from among the Qianlong camp guards and looked at Li Changkong and others with sharp eyes.
"Your Highness, that word is pronounced Ben." Seeing that his name was pronounced incorrectly, Zhu Ben couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
When Liu Yu heard this, he glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "Do you really think I don't know you? Are you showing off to me?"
"No, no, your highness, you can call me whatever you want, just feel free to do it."
After Liu Yu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I am not an unreasonable person. I heard that you are among the top few in the review, and you are the most talented among talents!"
"As for me, the most important thing is talents!"
"But it's not a talent. It doesn't matter what the reviewer says, it's what I say!"
"As noble sons, you will inevitably go to the battlefield to fight in the future."
"In this way, there are a thousand Qianlong Camp soldiers here, all of whom are the best among the best."
"You and I will each lead five hundred people to fight. If you can defeat me, I will recognize you as talents and allow you to join the Qianlong Camp. Otherwise, how about going back and forth from where you are?"
When Jia Taisui and Zhu Ben heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
It has always been their dream to unite the troops in battle!
Although the number of people is a little small, only five hundred, they are still the elite of Qianlong Camp. It would be a happy thing if they could be able to control them and fight against the prince!
At that moment, he was about to nod in agreement, but was stopped by Li Changkong and Zhang Han.
At this time, as the only two IQ players in the team, both of them had a headache.
Rumor has it that the prince behaved in a wild and uninhibited manner, and even had a childish nature.
They had heard of this a long time ago, but they never thought that one day such a thing would happen to them.
It's really...so helpless.
The five hundred Qianlong camp soldiers who commanded the army fought against the prince, which looked very beautiful.
But...should you win, or shouldn't you win?
If you win, the prince is the future heir apparent. Is it appropriate for you to defeat him in full public view and make His Highness the prince lose face?
It's definitely inappropriate.
What if you lose? Wouldn't it mean that you and others have no real materials, and being able to come here is just a pretext?
This is not what they want to see, so... both sides are dead in this matter, and there is no choice at all!
