After I was reborn, I married my fiance's uncle

Chapter 40 Another Gamble!
The emperor couldn't help but frowned after seeing Gu Hongzhen's performance. As the son of the Duke of Zhen Guo and the number one scholar this time, he had always admired him.

He had also heard of Zhu Yuxuan's name, but there was obviously a big gap between him and Gu Hongzhen. Unexpectedly, he had the upper hand today?
"Gu Hongzhen's performance today was a bit poor."

"I heard that Mr. Gu was injured a few days ago. It seems that the injury has not healed today." King Zhenbei said.

"Injured?" The emperor was surprised, "Why are you injured?"

"It seems to be related to Mr. Zhu. Gu Hongzhen was beaten."

King Zhenbei looked indifferent, as if he just said it casually, while the emperor looked at the two people on the high platform and already understood in his heart.

"It seems that the emperor's favorite number one scholar will lose today." King Zhenbei shook his head.

The emperor frowned slightly. He was very optimistic about Gu Hongzhen. It would be a pity if he lost today.

"Gu Hongzhen, you will lose!"

The look of pride on Zhu Yuxuan's face became more and more intense, and a fierce attack directly hit his vital part!
If this attack succeeds, Gu Hongzhen will definitely be defeated, and the injury will even require him to stay in bed for a long time!

Until then, this guy will be his stepping stone!
However, Gu Hongzhen looked calm and did not panic because of this. He saw that the powerful Yuan Power in his body surged rapidly, and the seals between his hands flipped. His body flexibly dodged the attack that Zhu Yuxuan was determined to win. At the same time, a fierce and domineering aura suddenly struck out. !

This energy was extremely fierce and domineering, and anyone who was closer could feel it clearly, and Zhu Yuxuan's expression changed instantly as he was so close.

He wanted to dodge immediately, but when he passed by, Gu Hongzhen had already grabbed his left hand, leaving him no chance to escape. At the same time, the terrible blow landed directly on his back!
"boom!"

Astonishing energy came through, and Zhu Yuxuan's face instantly turned pale. Under this terrifying force, his whole body was directly knocked out, and he fell hard under the competition stage!

The sudden change happened in the blink of an eye, and the ending that everyone had already believed was turned around at this moment!
"Gu Hongzhen, win!"

The referee's voice sounded, followed by warm cheers from the audience.

"Master Gu is so awesome!"

"Let me just say that Mr. Gu is one of the four heroes in the imperial city. How could he lose to Mr. Zhu?"

Many girls in the stands showed joy, and there were many girls in the imperial city who admired the number one scholar of the Gu family, because compared to the other three, the number one scholar of the Gu family was the most approachable.

Many girls were worried when they saw him being suppressed before, but now their joy is beyond words.

The corners of Gu Niansheng's lips raised slightly. The power of this move was indeed powerful. As long as he seizes an opportunity, he can directly subdue the opponent!
"Zhu Jinyao, don't forget to send 10 taels to my house tomorrow."

At this moment, Zhu Jinyao was dumbfounded and didn't understand why they suddenly lost when they were sure of victory just now.

10 taels!
Where can she get these 10 taels?
"If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, don't blame me for spreading the word to everyone. If there's a fuss, I won't be able to keep the money, and my reputation will be ruined."

Gu Niansheng's smile was sweet, and her already bright face became even more beautiful like a monster, with a charming and coquettish beauty that was tempered with poison.

Zhu Jinyao's face gradually turned pale. She simply couldn't bear the result of this failure.

"How could this happen? This is impossible..."

"Miss, go and see the young master quickly."

After hearing this reminder, Zhu Jinyao hurriedly ran to where Zhu Yuxuan was.

When the emperor saw that Gu Hongzhen had won at the last moment, he was immediately delighted. He looked at Yu Xianchi with a smile and said, "King Zhenbei, you are wrong this time. The number one scholar I value is still capable."

Yu Xianchi smiled lightly, "His Majesty is still wise."

The smile in the emperor's eyes deepened, and he became more and more satisfied with Gu Hongzhen. "The son of Duke Zhen Guo is indeed very good. Even if he is seriously injured, he can turn defeat into victory. If he is not injured, it goes without saying."

"This last move is indeed brilliant. Congratulations to Your Majesty for adding another talented person." Yu Xianchi said.

"Haha."

Although Gu Hongzhen couldn't hear what King Zhenbei and the emperor were saying, he suddenly heard the emperor's praise and was secretly surprised.

The King of Zhenbei first helped Nian Sheng on the polo field, and then helped his father. The fact that he received such praise from His Majesty today may have something to do with the King of Zhenbei.

He really couldn't understand why King Zhenbei, whom everyone wanted to make friends with but had no chance to make friends with, would treat their Zhenguo Palace differently?

With doubts in his heart, Gu Hongzhen walked off the platform, having passed today's assessment.

"Brother, how are you?"

Zhu Jinyao watched Zhu Yuxuan spit out a mouthful of blood and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Zhu Yuxuan's face was pale, and he looked at Gu Hongzhen, who was highly praised by the emperor on the high platform, with resentment in his eyes.

This last move almost killed him. It seemed that he would have to lie in bed for a while after returning.

"Brother, we lost 10 taels, what should we do? We will be beaten to death by dad when we go back!"

Zhu Jinyao has long been left alone. If her father finds out about this, she will be doomed.

Zhu Yuxuan also thought of this and almost spat out a mouthful of blood again. This was 10 taels!
"You can continue to bet with her!" Zhu Yuxuan said solemnly, "Gu Hongzhen is a genius, but Gu Niansheng is a waste. Don't bet on whether she dares to take the assessment, but bet on whether she can beat you in the assessment."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinyao's eyes lit up, "Yes, as long as we win back 10 taels!"

She will win this bet!
"Bet 20 taels!" Zhu Yuxuan's eyes were full of ruthlessness, "You must not take advantage of them. You have to mention it in front of everyone so that she has no chance to refuse!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuxuan couldn't hold on any longer and was carried away directly. Zhu Jinyao also calmed down at this moment. She still had a chance to win back!

When Gu Niansheng saw that her eldest brother had won and the entire assessment was over, she walked down the stand and walked towards the other side, but Zhu Jinyao stopped her halfway.

"What? Do you have anything else to do?"

Gu Niansheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the woman in front of him teasingly.

"Gu Niansheng, I lost the bet today. I will deliver 10 taels to your house tomorrow."

"However, I want to gamble with you again!"

"What are you betting on?" Gu Niansheng looked lazy, but there was clear confidence deep in his clear eyes.

This fool is still not convinced after being fooled once, and is ready to continue digging a hole to bury herself!

"Just bet on Lingyin College's entrance examination!"

Zhu Jinyao looked serious, "Bet on who can be better, you or me!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was about to leave immediately stopped and focused their eyes on the two of them. This was quite a scene!
