Chapter 147: Untalented Student
Chapter 147: Untalented Student
"Gu Zilu!!"
Gu Changqing was furious and shouted subconsciously, but the sound just happened to attract everyone's attention. They all looked over and stared at the graceful young man who slowly stood up under the light of the fire.
Gu Zilu!!
Gu Ziyun suddenly clenched his fists and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Why did he stand up? Why did he stand up? Could it be that...
My heart suddenly rose to my throat.
Under the gaze of everyone, the young man was calm and elegant, neither hurried nor slow. He did not walk in front of the emperor, but knelt respectfully and saluted as soon as he took the seat. Only after he had done all this did he speak in a deep voice.
"I, Gu Zilu, the student, do not want to deceive the emperor, so I come to report."
The voice of "deceiving the emperor" was so heavy that everyone dared not even breathe. However, Luan Wu and the other two who heard the voice turned their heads and stared at Gu Zilu in surprise.
"Is it him?"
“It feels like it.”
"I think so!"
The three of them signaled to each other with their eyes, but they couldn't suppress the excitement on their faces.
The surroundings became even quieter, and the emperor didn't say a word. In this farce, everyone was talking at once. Zhao Jingcheng was used to this kind of chaos like a vegetable market. He sat on his high seat very skillfully, keeping silent, and trying to make sure no one could guess what he was thinking.
There was silence for less than three seconds before Gu Zilu slowly spoke.
"The mountain man is the student."
"Gu Zilu!"
The first person to stand up and refute was none other than Gu Changqing.
The father's face was filled with anger at the moment, and he looked like he wanted to strangle Gu Zilu to death immediately. He angrily said, "How dare you talk nonsense in front of the emperor? Get back here!"
At this point, Gu Changqing couldn't think of any other good solution. At such a tense moment and in such a short time, all he could do was stand up and scold his son.
Gu Changqing's heart was beating wildly, and even his eyelids began to twitch. Everything was going in a bad direction. He looked around and saw that Su Jin still had the leisure to eat and drink, which made him even angrier.
Su Jin, why don’t you stand up and take good care of your son!
Look at what this beast has done!
Chen Huailiang took a quick glance, his eyes filled with disappointment towards Gu Changqing.
This father is really incompetent. He can't even discipline his own son, and now he comes out to cause trouble.
So he snorted coldly: "You little brat, you dare to say anything. Lord Gu should discipline his son. One or two of them are like this."
One, of course, is Gu Zixuan, and the other one, of course, is Gu Zilu.
Now everyone is discussing who the mountain man is, and before anyone has come to a conclusion, someone has already come out and claimed the title for himself.
Huh, what is that?
If the hermit was really Gu Zilu, how could there be no news at all? How could this fifth son of the Marquis's mansion, who was unknown and unknown, be a hermit with great talent and intelligence?
Chen Huailiang didn't believe it at all. After all, Gu Zilu was too unknown.
So, even if Gu Zilu stood up and told the truth, no one would believe him.
Sitting at the table, Xie Huaiguang smiled and said loudly: "Actually, it's not difficult to prove."
"Humph, do you want Luan Wu and the others to recognize each other? Don't forget that they wear masks every time they meet. Even if their figures and voices are the same, there is no direct evidence to prove that the mountain man is Gu Zilu, because no one has seen him!"
Chen Huailiang talked about it eloquently. He held on to this point tightly and would rather die than admit it.
"Oh, Master Chen is right. However, my method is not just to let people identify him. Luan Wu and the other two have never seen the hermit's true face, so their words cannot be used as evidence in court."
Xie Huaiguang moved neither hurriedly nor slowly, as if everything was under control.
"Then what else do you have to say? Tell me, and let me see how talented the new number one scholar is!"
The emperor said that he dreamed of a great talent, so everyone thought that Xie Huaiguang, the top scholar, was a great talent. Oh, a great talent? Okay, let's see how talented this person is!
Don't you have a solution?
What can I do if I have never seen him before!
Chen Huailiang snorted coldly, his aura and majesty were full of dissatisfaction. It was okay to scare a timid person, but it was really impossible to scare Xie Huaiguang.
"Mr. Chen, your praise is too great. I am a humble student."
Xie Huaiguang was also playful and had to say something untalented, which made Chen Huailiang's old face even uglier.
Under the bright lights, Xie Huiguang said leisurely: "The method of proving it is really simple, even a brainless person can figure it out."
As a spectator, Su Jin could not help but be amused. He thought that this young man was really fresh and refined. It was said that educated people's mouths looked like they were blessed. As for Xie Huaiguang's mouth, it must have been blessed and had the aura of knowledge. It was definitely an iron mouth.
However, Chen Huailiang was about to explode with anger. He opened his mouth with trembling beard, but he couldn't open his mouth to curse. Considering the final result, he could only urge him with suppressed anger: "Then speak quickly!"
"It's simple. Whoever can recite all the contents above is a mountain man."
This one sentence made everyone suddenly realize.
Yes, there are only a few people who have seen this thing. Apart from Luan Wu and the other two, the other one must be the mountain man. Naturally, whoever can recite everything is the mountain man!
Chen Huailiang's eyes rolled when he heard this: "If Gu Ziyun can recite it, doesn't it prove that he is also a mountain man?"
It's not that whoever can recite it is the one, then what if Gu Ziyun recites it? Isn't he also a mountain man?
Hearing this, Xie Huaiguang laughed.
He was a carefree young man, and he looked even more free and easy when he smiled. The moon was rising, the lights were dim, and he was wearing white clothes and had red lips, so gorgeous that he was almost enchanting.
"Master Chen is right."
The strange young man looked at Gu Ziyun who had been kneeling with a serious expression: "Then you recite it, I will start with this Shangyang Fu..."
Gu Ziyun's brain had long been non-functional. All the changes were like raging waves, one huge wave higher than the other, which had long made him uneasy. How could he think so much? He just thought about whatever others said.
Chen Huailiang's words, whoever can recite it will be the mountain man, reminded Gu Ziyun. He subconsciously thought that if he could recite it, then there would be no chance for Gu Zilu.
At that time, he would still be the runner-up and have a bright future. But this Gu Zilu who suddenly showed up was charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor and became the most unlucky one.
Thinking of this, he almost immediately started to speak and recited the entire article word for word.
After reciting it, Gu Ziyun actually breathed a sigh of relief, and a bit of joy appeared on his face. Chen Huailiang clapped his hands three times and said with a smile: "Gu Ziyun is the mountain man, he recited it!"
