Chapter 018 Come on, show it
During the fifth attack, the strong man's power was no longer as strong as before, but Qingfeng did not dodge and took the blow head-on.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had deliberately stopped.
Perhaps it was because of the mutual admiration among warriors that Qin Zhaoyue could understand.
This man is tall and strong, and seems to have supernatural powers, but he has never practiced martial arts seriously, so his moves are straightforward.
If he has a clean background, he can be employed as a guard in the mansion.
But just when Qin Zhaoyue was about to let go, the strong man raised his fist and swung it at Qingfeng again.
At this time, Qingfeng was kneeling on one knee, with his back exposed, and his fist was aimed directly at the back of his head!
At the critical moment, Xiyu flashed to the front, placed a palm on the strong man's forearm, tripped his right foot, and used a clever force to throw him away.
Basically, he didn't use any force, and mainly used the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force, but the strong man was too heavy.
He flew towards the surrounding warriors. Five or six of them attacked him together, and he had to retreat many steps before he could barely take the hit.
The sword was unsheathed with a clang, and the tip of the sword pointed directly in the direction of the strong man.
Qingfeng had also stood up and stood in front of Qin Zhaoyue.
Qingfeng was caught off guard just now and the fist was aimed at the back of his head. If he was hit, his life might be in danger, so they had to be careful.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn, Lu Tieshan, an eliminated warrior, hesitated and finally stood up.
He bowed deeply, "Your Highness, the fool didn't mean it...
It's my fault. I told him that if he could defeat this lord, he would have enough food to eat forever."
Qin Zhaoyue was also a little frightened. At that moment, she thought it was directed at her.
Hearing this, he frowned, "He's called a fool?"
Everyone talked about the situation.
It turned out that the strong man was an abandoned child, born with a disability and his brain was only at the level of a child.
Unfortunately, he has a special physique and eats a huge amount.
When he was young, he had no place to live and begged in the theaters in the south of the city and ate at other people's homes.
But most families simply cannot afford to support one, and better families will not employ servants with intellectual disabilities.
When I get older, I can do some work like moving goods.
Because of his poor brain, he often does the heaviest work but doesn't get much food in return. It's rare for him to meet a kind-hearted person who can give him a full meal.
Later, Manager Lou discovered him and he entered the No. 1 Building in the World, where he received five taels of silver every month.
In addition, he met a group of frustrated warriors here, and he finally grew up with their help.
The warrior in front of him was also someone who took good care of him. He was afraid that he would lose this job that he had worked so hard to find, so he told him that he must defeat Qingfeng.
Qin Zhaoyue thought to himself that it was no wonder. With his strong physique, he could definitely join the army, but he was just collecting monthly wages here. So this was the problem.
Just because others say you must win, you just fight for the wind without caring about anything else.
I'm afraid he can't even understand military orders, so how can he join the army?
At this time, the fool was helped up by everyone, his eyes full of clear stupidity, as if he didn't understand what was happening.
But he broke free from the others and strode forward.
Qingfeng and Xiyu did not let down their guard, but saw him just walk to the middle-aged warrior Lu Tieshan and reach out to help him up.
It is said to be supporting, but in fact it is more like carrying a little chicken, and the picture is a bit playful.
"Uncle, I won...didn't I win?"
The clear voice was seriously inconsistent with his physique, and the tone was like that of a child, which deeply touched Qin Zhaoyue's heartstrings.
"Your Highness..."
Lu Tieshan was being carried by the idiot and could not bend down. He could only keep bowing his hands, his eyes full of pleading.
Qin Zhaoyue pondered for a moment, then looked up at the big, stupid guy and asked, "Would you like to be a guard in the princess's mansion?"
Seeing that he was still confused, he added, "I can have a full meal every day."
As soon as the words fell, the big fool's eyes burst into a surprising look, "Beautiful sister...really?!"
The place fell into a deathly silence. Calling the Sixth Princess... Beautiful Sister? Was he crazy?
Qin Zhaoyue raised her head slightly, revealing her fair neck.
Although he is two meters tall, his intelligence is only that of a child, and a stupid child will not lie!
"It's true. As long as you protect me from harm, I'll make sure you have enough food to eat and meat every meal~"
"Uncle!" The big fool shook Lu Tieshan suddenly, "Eat your fill! There's meat to eat!"
"Alright...alright...if you shake it again it will fall apart!"
Bang! Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Tieshan raised his arm and slapped the big idiot on the forehead, finally stopping his brutal behavior.
The moment my feet touched the ground, it felt like I was stepping on cotton.
In this way, more than ten warriors were eliminated, but some were still alive.
According to Qingfeng, most of them are around the eighth grade, with a few at the seventh grade, and among them there is the outlier Shada.
He has never learned martial arts, but he was born with supernatural powers. He can easily fight against a seventh-grade opponent. If he can learn some simple moves, he can also fight against a sixth-grade opponent.
Qin Zhaoyue was in a good mood, so he didn't mention the matter of recovering the monthly salary.
Let Lu Tieshan take the big guy back first, and then the guards from the princess's mansion will come to pick him up.
After the turmoil, only the last group of people remained: miscellaneous.
In order to embezzle funds, the two managers in the building put a lot of thought into it.
For example, warriors, although their rank is very low, are given many titles.
Like the best dart in the world, the best load in the world, the best dung fork in the world...
Not to mention the miscellaneous items, which are so diverse and are also the hardest hit area for people who draw salaries without working.
"It's getting late, come on, show off quickly."
These people cannot compete together and can only show their skills one by one.
The first one, the best cursive calligrapher in the world, demonstrated his calligraphy skills in public.
The freshly written calligraphy was delivered to Qin Zhaoyue's hands, and his eyes twitched wildly.
It’s really crazy and really wild!
Qin Zhaoyue silently folded the calligraphy several times and placed it on the table.
"Come on, write it for me again exactly the same."
"this……"
"Any questions?"
“No… no problem.”
Half a cup of tea later, two pieces of cursive calligraphy were placed side by side on the table in front of Qin Zhaoyue, and then...
With a sizzling sound, the rice paper was torn into pieces and hurled fiercely at the face of the world's most prolific calligrapher.
"Three times the amount. If you can't catch him, break his arm!"
The guards immediately stepped forward and carried the man out.
"Your Highness, this is unjust. This is my own cursive writing, Your Highness..."
Bullshit! That’s just a one-time original creation, in short: writing nonsense!
Qin Zhaoyue admits that his cultural knowledge is limited, and cursive calligraphy is indeed a blind spot in his knowledge.
Apart from Huaisu's "Self-Portrait" and Zhang Xu's "Four Calligraphy", he couldn't even name the third piece of cursive calligraphy, and knew nothing about its content and brushwork.
When I first saw the first piece of calligraphy, I felt like it was a ghost painting and I couldn’t find a single familiar character.
However, out of caution, I still did a verification on the spot.
As it turns out, the two pieces of calligraphy are completely different, and that thing is just improvised every time.
After cursive calligraphy, the second one is actually the best painter in the world.
When it was his turn, he was trembling and confessed without even having time to ask questions.
"Your Highness, I am not the best painter. I am just good at a small niche."
Qin Zhaoyue nodded, as he was quite honest. "What side door?"
The old man's face turned pale. He hesitated for a long time before muttering softly, "Spring Palace..."
"Shut up!" Qingfeng shouted, "You bold lunatic, how dare you pollute His Highness's ears? Someone, come here..."
"Get out of the way!" Qin Zhaoyue pushed him away, her eyes sparkling.
What's wrong with erotic paintings? Tang Yin had painted them before. If they were good at painting, it would be a huge business opportunity. He immediately decided, "Paint them quickly."
The old man was really an expert, and he finished a painting in just a cup of tea.
Qin Zhaoyue could tell it was extraordinary at first sight. With just a few strokes and simple coloring of cinnabar, azurite and madder, the painting achieved a vivid effect.
Perhaps the princess didn't dare to be too bold in front of him, so she portrayed the woman as shy and coy as if she were wearing a thin tulle curtain, and captured the pink atmosphere perfectly.
I found a treasure! I never thought I would find such a talent.
"The monthly salary I gave you before is considered as betrothal money. If you work hard for me, you will definitely get some benefits!"
After that, Qin Zhaoyue no longer worried about being the best in the world. It was just a joke.
The third one is good at arithmetic and is good at using an abacus. He is also good at calculating accounts.
After the empress came to power, one of her important policies was to revise the imperial examination system.
In addition to the earth-shaking reform of opening up the imperial examination for women, there were also many detailed adjustments, one of which was the addition of the Ming Suan subject.
The status was far lower than that of the Jinshi degree. After passing the exam, one would be awarded "Doctor of Mathematics", which was only the ninth rank. However, this also opened up a path for many children from poor families.
Surprisingly, this person actually passed the examination of Ming Suan Ke and had held an official position.
However, because of a conflict with his superiors, he had no other choice but to seek refuge in Tianxia Diyilou.
After all, the Sixth Princess was behind this place, so the steward helped him to settle the matter, and the price was simple: he helped him to cook the books.
Qin Zhaoyue randomly asked two questions, one was about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and the other was about draining and pouring water from a pond. The other party answered both of them.
There's no way around it. With her math level, she can only ask these two questions. Answering them correctly at least shows that she has good logical thinking skills.
It just so happens that I'm planning to reorganize my business recently, and I need an outsider to do the accounting at home, so this is a perfect fit.
Then he eliminated some more people one after another, and finally accepted two more people.
A magician, his outstanding feature is that he is good at making various sophisticated mechanisms, and the props for magic tricks are all designed and made by himself.
There was also an alchemist who knew some medical skills, could make elixirs, and also did some research.
The trip was a complete success. If everything goes well, the total amount of fines will be almost enough. In addition, a worry has been solved.
The title of "Number One in the World" was too ostentatious, and it also eliminated the means of "recruiting talents", officially and completely cutting off ties with the fight for the throne.
Qin Zhaoyue stepped out of the tower and looked back to see the plaque hanging in the middle. The four large gold-plated characters "Number One Under Heaven" were eye-catching no matter how he looked at them.
It's no wonder that the original body was framed. He was brainless and had no self-awareness, so it was perfect to use him as a target for the Princess Group.
Xiaojiu is also suitable in terms of brainpower, but he is too young, so he can't be as effective as her.
"Someone, come and take off the sign and smash it for me."
"yes!"
Seeing the plaque smashed to pieces, Qin Zhaoyue felt relieved and went home contentedly.
In the afternoon, in the imperial study, Sui Mo was sitting in the shadow under the eaves.
After returning to the palace, she immediately reported that the Sixth Princess could provide the silver, but she wanted two Qingluan Guards.
His Majesty did not refuse outright, but remained silent, neither saying yes nor no.
At this time, someone came to report that the Sixth Princess had gone to the No. 1 Building in the World, dismissed most of the talented people, and recovered their monthly wages.
Qin Minghuang lowered his eyes. The so-called No. 1 restaurant in the world was a joke.
At the beginning, she had sent people to investigate, but the people she recruited were all fools who were of no use.
Considering Xiaoliu’s “confession” in the Imperial Study Room before, he is now unwilling to even pretend?
"How many people are left behind?"
The Xuanji secret guard replied, "Five people in total.
A big man with natural strength, but his brain is defective and only has the level of a child.
One is good at arithmetic, one is a magician, and one is an alchemist."
Having said that, the secret guard paused.
Qin Minghuang held up the teacup and said, "Why are you hesitating? There's another one."
My mind was full of thoughts: Could it be that Xiaoliu still has a trick up his sleeve?
The joke is that the No. 1 Building in the World is only the first floor. Is there some great sage hidden inside?
She was too disappointed with Xiaoliu before and didn't investigate it further, so it's not known whether this possibility is true.
The secret guard's cheek twitched. After hesitating for a few breaths, he finally spoke up: "There's another one who specializes in... Erotica..."
puff!
Qin Minghuang spat out a mouthful of tea, touched his chest and coughed for a long time before he recovered.
When he raised his head again, his face was frosty and his fists were stiff again!
Sui Mo, who heard the conversation from under the eaves, said: ...
I want to die!
