He is worthy of being the smartest second brother of the Jiang family.
As soon as Jiang Zhou came on stage, he completed the first eight rows of challenges at an extremely fast speed.
There was not even the slightest hitch, and the challenge was extremely smooth.
Under everyone's attention, Jiang Zhou also guessed the riddle in the second-to-last column.
Suddenly, everyone held their breath, afraid of disturbing the man on the stage.
"Young Master, you have great literary talent!" The middle-aged man in charge of the meeting bowed to Jiang Zhou and said, "If you can guess the last column, you can get this Duan stone inkstone."
"Come on, young master!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from the crowd below.
Immediately afterwards, many women began to shout, "Come on, young master!"
"Young Master's literary talent is the best in the world!"
“…”
It was the first time that Jiang Li felt the boldness of a Daning woman.
Jiang Qing was not surprised at all. Instead, he snorted at the figure on the stage, "You show-off, you're so slow. Hurry up and get your prize down."
Jiang Zhou seemed to have super hearing and raised his hand to interrupt the man on the stage, "I won't challenge you anymore."
"What?"
Not only the person in charge on the stage, but even the crowd below fell silent.
"Sir, what did you say?"
The other party seemed unsure, "There's only one row left. Are you giving up?"
"Sir, you know this Duan stone inkstone is a treasure worth tens of thousands of taels. Sir, you..."
"Thank you for your kindness, boss. I just want this jade ruyi."
The man was confused.
This jade ruyi is indeed a good thing, but it is still inferior to the Duan stone inkstone.
Moreover, judging from the performance of this young man just now, it is not difficult for him to guess the last row of riddles.
After confirming with Jiang Zhou again, the man handed the Jade Ruyi to Jiang Zhou with a hint of regret, and said to everyone, "Congratulations to this young man for winning a Jade Ruyi!"
The crowd in the audience had now recovered from their shock, especially the women. After clapping and congratulating everyone, they all looked at Jiang Zhou eagerly, hoping that he would look at them, and preferably fall in love at first sight.
However, Jiang Zhou turned around and walked straight towards Jiang Li.
Everyone watched him give the jade ruyi in his hand to a very beautiful woman, and they were envious and sighed.
It wasn't until the next challenger came on stage that everyone's eyes turned back to the stage.
"Second brother is so awesome!"
Jiang Li held the jade ruyi in his hands and saw that it was of excellent quality and worth a lot of silver at first glance.
Jiang Qing and Jiang Mubai heard this and said in unison: "Sister, wait! When the fighting begins, I'll win some prizes for you!"
After a few sticks of incense.
Another round of gongs and drums sounded, and the fight officially began.
Suddenly, the crowd surged again, and more and more people gathered around.
In particular, when the middle-aged man on the stage announced the biggest prize of this year's fighting, the crowd instantly became excited.
"Princess, look!"
Bai Zhi was stunned.
Pointing at the huge golden lotus on the stage, his mouth was wide open.
"Tsk tsk." Jiang Li also took a breath, "It seems that these merchants have made a lot of money this year. The prize is so promising."
Jiang Mubai muttered, "What a pity, no one has ever won the top prize every year."
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Li blinked, and seeing Jiang Mubai staring at her, she quickly explained, "My previous adoptive mother died during the Lantern Festival, so I never..."
According to the original owner's memory, every year during the Lantern Festival, Jiang Sheng would take Zhou and Jiang Shengsheng out together. As for her, she would burn paper in her own yard to commemorate the "mother" who picked her up.
After saying this, the three brothers felt heartbroken again, blaming themselves for not finding their sister earlier.
"Sister, you don't know," Jiang Qing pushed Jiang Mubai back a bit, then leaned forward, "To win the top prize, you need to shoot an arrow at the center of the gong at the top of the log, and you only have one chance."
No wonder.
Jiang Li raised her head and looked upwards. Not to mention hitting the target, she couldn't even see where it was. After all, the tip was too high.
However, if you can hit the gongs in the middle, the prize is very tempting. After a while, many people are eager to try.
The starting point of archery is at the outermost edge of the crowd. Before it starts, several staff members come over and divide the crowd into two, leaving an open space in the middle.
After asking Jiang Zhou to protect Jiang Li, Jiang Qing and Jiang Mubai also went to the starting point, hoping to win some prizes for Jiang Li.
only--
"Princess, be careful!"
Suddenly, a cold light rushed towards Jiang Li from the crowd, and Bai Zhi was the first to see it.
Mo Qi subconsciously deflected the sword tip, but unexpectedly, another killer appeared the next moment. Jiang Zhou quickly protected Jiang Li behind him and fought with the newcomer.
"ah--"
"Murder! Run!"
As the screams started, everyone started to panic.
Jiang Qing and Jiang Mubai reacted immediately and wanted to rush over, but they were blocked by people who were fleeing in a hurry. For a moment, Bai Zhi was the only one left by Jiang Li's side.
"run!"
Jiang Li now realized that these people were coming for her.
He quickly took out poison powder from the space and sprinkled it on the killer rushing towards him.
Taking advantage of the gap when those people fell to the ground, Jiang Li handed half of the poison powder to Bai Zhi, "You go east and I go west, run!"
There are too many killers.
Soon more killers came from all directions.
Even though Jiang Zhong and Jiang Maoshan arrived at this time, they were instantly entangled by the killer.
