Chapter 542



Of course, Eunuch Su believed that the emperor also thought so, which was why he took out the yellow jacket as a prize.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have set up the martial arts test again.

He should also know that although there are many warriors here, there is probably no one who can compare with them and their husband and wife.

Fu Guohua is old, and the emperor even specifically asked him about it.

He also honestly told the emperor that he was inferior to Jian Xiu and Zhang Xuan.

Not just a little bit worse, but a lot worse.

After knowing this news, the emperor finally took out the prize.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Please be quiet for a moment!" Eunuch Su raised his hand again and signaled to everyone.

"Eunuch Su, please speak!"

Seeing everyone's impatient look, Eunuch Su wanted to laugh.

"Just now, the emperor has specially added another item. The first place winner can not only get a yellow coat, but also make a request to the emperor."

Having said that, Eunuch Su glanced towards Jian Xiu again.

Then he continued, "Of course, this matter cannot violate human ethics, loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and justice, nor can it violate benevolence, righteousness, and morality."

"That's natural, that's natural!" everyone echoed.

Suddenly, the Tihe Hall became even more lively.

This is the first time in so many years that I have had such a jackpot.

Some people even couldn't wait to ask Eunuch Su:

"Eunuch Su, what will this competition be about?"

Seeing that the question had hit the point, Eunuch Su continued:

"This competition has three main elements: guessing the answer to a riddle, reciting poems, and a martial arts test."

After saying this, Eunuch Su looked at Jian Xiu worriedly.

Although the emperor wants Jian Xiu to win, he also wants him to work hard.

On the surface, he couldn't help too much, right?

The martial arts test has already been set up, and Fu Guohua also said that Jian Xiu is not illiterate as people say.

On the contrary, she is not only a strategic person, but also has excellent handwriting.

Thinking of this, Mu Junyou decided to hold a martial arts test to increase Jian Xiu's chances of winning.

Seeing the eager looks of the people in the body and hall, Mu Junyou suddenly had a bad feeling.

Not to mention them, even the emperors had the same look of anticipation on their faces.

That’s right, the prize this time is the yellow coat.

The most important thing is that he promised me something personally, who wouldn't be moved?

Seeing Jian Xiu and Zhang Xuan as calm as ever, Mu Junyou felt a headache again.

Everyone else had an eagerness written all over their faces, but the couple seemed to have no interest at all.

Instead, he picked up the tea and drank it slowly.

Mu Junyou, who was in a great headache: "......"

Could this yellow coat really fall into someone else's hands?

So, he is making wedding clothes for others?

After all, many people here know martial arts.

The literary aspect is also very good, at least in his opinion, that is definitely better than Jian Xiu.

After all, given Jian Xiu's background, it was not easy for her to be literate.

A word from you is as good as gold.

Eunuch Su didn't know what Mu Junyou was thinking. Looking at the people who were impatient, Eunuch Su hurriedly said:

"Everyone, please don't be impatient. Wait a little longer and let me tell you the rules of the competition!"

"In this first round, you will guess the answer to the riddle. I will write the question on rice paper. When the question is revealed, everyone can answer it. Whoever has the correct answer and the fastest time will be the winner."

"Three people will be eliminated in each round, and so on. The final winner will proceed to the next round. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Eunuch Su, please start!"

"Okay, then everyone please listen to the question!"

After saying this, Eunuch Su subconsciously glanced at Jian Xiu and the others.

When he was talking just now, Yu Le was looking at them vaguely.

Seeing the couple drinking tea in one gulp, I sighed for them both in my heart.

It's really disappointing. It's rare that the emperor prepares these competitions so carefully for them.

Whether you can win or not, you have to give it a try, right?

Otherwise, today's competition would not be as simple as guessing the answer.

In Eunuch Su's eyes, Jian Xiu and the others' attitude was no different from giving up.

But this time, Jian Xiu and Zhang Xuan made Eunuch Su look at them differently.

Because the two of them had already put down their teacups, they looked clearly ready.

Very good, this is the mentality he wants.

Whether or not they can stand out is not important anymore; what matters is that they put their heart into it.

"Listen, everyone. There is a crooked tree and a crooked vine, and on the vine hangs a string of crystal bells. Hit a fruit."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jian Xiu curled her lips and wrote down the answer without thinking.

Then she stood up and looked at Eunuch Su, indicating that she was fine.

At the same time, she looked around the audience and saw that no one had stood up yet.

In other words, she was the first person to write down the answer.

Originally, she didn't have much confidence in this puzzle, but now after hearing Eunuch Su read out the puzzle, her confidence suddenly came.

Just kidding, she started playing these questions when she was a child a generation ago.

Coming here, she was actually being used for a competition. If she didn't win, she would be letting herself down after living two lifetimes.

Sure enough, when Eunuch Su saw Jian Xiu standing up, his eyes immediately lit up.

It was clearly written on his forehead: I am very excited at this moment.

Looking at Mu Junyou who was in a high position, although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Time's up! You can put down your pens." Eunuch Su spoke again.

In this round, not only three people were eliminated, but many warriors didn't even come up with an answer.

No wonder Eunuch Su is so happy.

"The next questions will become more and more difficult, so you have to work hard! This question is correct, please listen to the question." Eunuch Su reminded.

Then he glanced at the rice paper in his hand and raised it lightly, while muttering:

"Three Zhus, Six Bridges, Nine Creeks, and Eighteen Caves."

As soon as the words fell, Jian Xiu picked up the pen and started writing, writing the answer on the rice paper.

Unsurprisingly, Jian Xiu was the first one again.

In this round, not to mention Eunuch Su, even Shu Xiaoyao who was next to Mu Junyou was shocked.

This question is not that simple.

This Jian Xiu didn't even seem to think about it, and acted as if she already knew the answer.

From the time she started doing the questions till now, her eyes have always been on her.

If she knew the answer to the previous question, it would not be surprising, because many ordinary people would know the answer to this kind of riddle.

But this is correct, how can it be correct so easily?
