The woman was pointing at a nearby building and chattering away, but Zhao Xin didn't seem to pay much attention. He turned around and, as expected, saw Chu Zhan. Chu Zhan was naturally accompanied by an unknown woman, not Qiu Chenqing.
As for why he said he was unknown, it was because he had never seen him. It seemed that he was not a well-known person in their country of Qin.
What if he is from that Central Plains family?
Zhao Xin had no makeup on at the moment, and there were so many people following him. It was estimated that even if he walked up to him, he would not know that he had stayed with him in the prefectural governor's mansion for a few days.
In that case, he wouldn't go over and risk that bad luck. He was just here to watch the show. After all, it would be great to be able to recruit a few wise officials.
He spent two days in Tianshan, exploring many places on his own. He saw that most of those who only possessed military prowess were rough and unruly. However, that alone would hardly qualify them for a military officer position.
Even after searching for the first two days before the competition, nothing was found. On the third day, the Linglong Tower opened in a chaotic and chaotic manner.
The elders who were sitting outside the door also gave the subordinate a look at this time. The servant also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly picked up the gongs and drums next to him and banged them.
"Be quiet and let the elder speak first!"
Although everyone had different academic qualifications, they felt an endless pressure as soon as the servant spoke, as if a knife was hanging directly over their heads.
They were even more envious, thinking that the servants beside the elders had such great authority. If they really became the first and went to Tianshan, they would be used by these elders.
Wouldn’t that be a better opportunity to succeed?
So the whole venue was silent and no one spoke.
"The annual martial arts tournament is about to begin. This year, due to the Peace of Mind Festival held by the Emperor of Great Qin, the competition has been delayed for a few days. This is to give you guys a chance to have fun before you come."
"Since we're here, we've already given you two days. During those two days, I believe you'll all have a deep understanding of Tianshan Mountain and the Linglong Pagoda Temple."
It turns out that this place is called Linglong Pagoda Temple.
"So on the third day, everyone should start to focus and devote all their energy to this competition. Is that okay with you?"
There was constant cheering from the audience.
After the elders finished speaking, they borrowed the exquisite tower one after another. The guards outside the door followed the servants, holding the cards in their hands and taking their numbers one by one.
He hadn't even gotten around to answering when he felt someone breathing heavily behind him. The person patted him unexpectedly, and Zhao Xin turned around to see a familiar face.
Isn’t this Bai Qi?
How come he is here?
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhuge was worried, so he asked me to rush here at full speed. I hope I can help you. As for Ma, he is the fastest horse we brought from the palace stables. Your Majesty, I am not too late."
“…”
It’s not that they are late, but everyone present wants to know how Bai Qi got in?
"Bai Qi, tell me how you got in."
Bai Qi's eyes were stern, with a hint of disapproval in them, and he turned his head and looked towards the gate with even more disdain.
"Those people were so weak that they almost fainted from fear after my sword strike, leaving me speechless."
At this time, Zhuge was sitting in the Hanlin Academy.
He saw that the powerful officials in the court did not show any impatience. Instead, many of them were eager to learn from him when dealing with him.
"I have to say that His Majesty has grown so quickly in such a short period of time. It's up to you to do it."
"That's right. I used to think that this emperor was a tyrant. I was wondering how he could grow up so fast, but I didn't expect that there were indeed powerful ministers behind him."
From what they said, it was apparently a compliment, but in fact it was a subtle criticism.
This sounds like praise, but between the lines there is nothing but belittling of the emperor. If these words were to be passed on to the emperor's ears by someone with ulterior motives, the great harmony would surely turn into a barrier.
But this time they had miscalculated.
Even if there were such rumors, Zhao Xin couldn't have the heart to get rid of Zhuge Liang all of a sudden. After all, he was counting on Zhuge to be a know-it-all and a wise man who could predict the future.
So that's exactly what it seems.
Even though they said this, most of the people in the Hanlin Academy who were close to Zhuge Liang did not believe it.
But seeing those court officials speaking with gloomy faces, they could only nod their heads dryly, and in their hearts they took out their little notebooks and gave them a severe warning.
They could say whatever they wanted. If they were to be reported, they would definitely be the first to blame Mr. Zhuge. The emperor would definitely have a clear judgment on whether to do it or not.
That's what they thought.
Ru Shi had already received the number plate, but this time he did not take it. Instead, he asked Bai Qi to take it for him. Although he was a little puzzled, the servant felt that he must have remembered the wrong person.
So he led Bai Qi to the stage, while the others who had guard tickets just stood there cheering for their masters!
And now, seeing them taking Bai Qi away, it seemed that the chance of winning was even higher. After all, that military officer seemed to be invincible on their side.
So I sighed deeply for them.
At this time, they were even more excited and just sat aside waiting for the show to happen.
Chu Zhan seemed to be quite skilled, and he immediately won a lot of applause as soon as he entered the arena. His fighting style was definitely different from ordinary martial arts.
He seemed unpredictable and his techniques were extremely sharp. The elders who seemed to be transformed by himself were even more impressed by Chu Zhan.
Some wealthy young men even claimed to be giving their opponents disinfectant powder in order to win the competition. This was clearly an attempt to kill them, but the judges showed no interest in intervening.
They actually said that using poison was a common method used by people in the underworld, and it was nothing surprising.
?
These elders must be crazy.
And now, unbeknownst to Zhao Xin, a wave of unrest was quietly brewing. Unlike the peaceful environment before, some people were already inciting unrest everywhere. Coupled with natural disasters, even the gods themselves were powerless to stop it.
Time passed quickly, and the event that Zhao Xin had been looking forward to for a long time finally happened.
Bai Qi played against an unknown person. If there was one thing that was gratifying, it was that both of them were skilled in wielding broadswords. When they started fighting, no surprises came to pass. The other person fell to the ground before lasting more than two rounds.
There was a burst of thunderous chorus from the audience.
The rich young man was not happy about this, so he immediately called out several of his followers to compete with him. The elders in the audience still had no objection.
