Chapter 235 On the high platform

After Yang Liang appeared, the people watching in the audience immediately started talking.

"Who is this man? Judging from his short clothes, he must be a servant of someone's family."

"How can a servant stand on the stage? I will lose the face of my Dasheng Dynasty."

"It seems that this is the new champion, Li Jieyuan from Pingzhou!"

Everyone's discussion became louder and louder, but Princess Yushu still stood there with an expression on her face.

"Since the number one scholar is willing to give it a try, I, like everyone, will wait and see."

Princess Yushu waved her hand and said, "Here, bring two pairs of bows and arrows."

Not long after, someone brought bows and arrows, and two sets of targets were placed on the edge of the high platform.

The noise in the audience gradually became quieter, and many people held their breath.

These barbarians grew up on horseback. Although the Dasheng Dynasty had a prosperous literary style, it was slightly lacking in military force.

And because of the lack of political power and small-scale conflicts at the border in recent years, the Dasheng Dynasty also lost more than it won.

The common people have too many memories of failure in their hearts, and unknowingly, they are also burdened with the label of being weak.

They want a victory too much.

"Is Prince Tuoba going to compete?" Princess Yushu asked.

Tuoba Tuo shook his head and smiled: "It's not me, it's Prince Yuchi of Xidi."

A man stood up from behind Tuoba Tuo. He was about seven feet tall and had a clear face. His eyes were a little small, but his eyes were piercing.

Princess Yushu was startled and said, "Could it be His Royal Highness Yu Chifei, the wolf of Xidi?"

Tuoba Tuo laughed and said, "It is His Royal Highness Yuchi. The princess is indeed well-informed."

Princess Yushu was secretly surprised. It was said that His Highness the Wolf was carried away by a female wolf when he was a child. When the royal family found him, he was sleeping among the wolves and was completely unharmed.

He learned the art of riding and shooting since he was a child, and had the experience of hunting a big bear at the age of nine. He was known as His Royal Highness Wolf in Xidi and was a strong contender for the throne.

Among the envoys from neighboring countries who went to Beijing to take the exam this time, there were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

She subconsciously began to worry about Yang Liang. Yang Liang was actually picked as the top pick. If he was revealed to be a loser in public, it would not only hit Yang Liang's face, but also her own face would be disgraced.

But seeing that Yang Liang still had a calm expression and looked confident, Princess Yushu was a little relieved, hoping that he really had some confidence.

"Boy, please."

Yu Chifei didn't look at Yang Liang at all, and reached out to take the bow and arrow.

Before firing the bow, he tried it first and stretched the wooden bow with force. Before he could use any force, there was a click in his ears, and the wooden bow broke in half in the middle.

Yuchifei looked at Princess Yushu in surprise.

There is no bottom line.

Princess Yushu laughed and said: "His Royal Highness Yuchi is indeed a god. Come, please give me another bow."

After a while, someone brought another wooden bow. Yu Chifei pulled it again, and then there was a crisp sound in his ears, and the wooden bow broke in the middle.

His eyes opened even wider, and his mung bean-like eyes even grew a circle larger.

"Good arm strength."

Princess Yushu couldn't help but praise: "Come here, please change another bow for Your Highness."

"No, no need."

Yu Chifei was a new arrival, and he was a little uncomfortable with the customs and customs of the Dasheng Dynasty.

"Come here, take my king's black-backed bow."

An attendant dressed as a servant came forward and offered a short bow.

This bow was made of an unknown material. It was completely black, and even the bow strings were the same black.

There was no trace of embarrassment on Princess Yushu's face, and she was still talking and laughing calmly. She said: "Then we will limit the number of arrows to seven, and the one who hits the bull's-eye will be the winner."

Yu Chifei already knew what kind of character Princess Yushu was. He did not dare to use the feather arrows provided by Princess Yushu. Instead, he took out seven feather arrows from his subordinate's quiver.

He raised his head, looked ahead and picked up his bow and arrow.

His eyes were full of confidence, a kind of pride accumulated over time.

blow!

A sharp whistle sounded in the air, and the arrow hit the bullseye accurately.

Then, he finally glanced at Yang Liang, his eyes full of disdain.

All seven feather arrows hit the bullseye accurately, and none missed the target.

There was silence on the high platform, and people were shocked by Yu Chifei's shooting skills.

With such shooting skills, he will definitely become a powerful general on the battlefield in the future.

Or just assassinate him.

Princess Yushu thought secretly.

"It's your turn."

Yu Chifei put his hands behind his back and said coldly.

Yang Liang put on a feather arrow, slowly pulled out the bowstring, and then shot the arrow.

Everyone held their breath, and when they saw the landing point of the feather arrow, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Bullseye.

Yu Chifei looked stunned, and then shook his head. This was the first arrow, so it didn't matter.

Then Yang Liang shot a second arrow.

The third arrow, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow...

A moment later, seven feather arrows accurately hit the bullseye and gathered together densely.

There was silence, and you could hear a needle drop.

A moment later, uniform cheers rang out again. People were so excited that the cheers seemed to overthrow the sky.

"it is good!"

Cheering for each game.

"What's good is good, what's good is good."

Tuoba Tuo said disdainfully: "It's just a matter of not knowing who will win or lose."

"Prince Tuoba, if you lose, you lose. There is nothing wrong with admitting it." Princess Yushu said.

"What, why did we lose?" Tuoba Tuo was surprised.

Princess Yushu spread her hands and said: "Isn't this an obvious thing? His Royal Highness Lang used a bow and arrow that he was familiar with, and the Number One Scholar just took a long bow at random. As you just saw, the standard long bow was His Majesty Wolf broke it with just a slight tug. The Number One Scholar can even fight His Majesty Wolf with such a bow, but if he uses another bow and arrow, it will take off immediately."

Ah!

Tuoba Tuo and Yu Chifei opened their eyes wide at the same time. They couldn't believe that they could confuse right and wrong like this.

You are the princess of a country, so you have a certain bottom line, okay?

"Even if we win, it's just a round. We won the music competition just now." Tuoba Tuo felt that he couldn't be too polite with such an unreasonable person. He stretched out his hand and said, "Look, Mr. Gongsun's No one can win the chess game?"

Princess Yushu also felt a little embarrassed, but it was just a little bit.

She spread her hands and said: "Prince Tuoba doesn't need to use his words, anyway, justice is in the heart of the people!"

Tuoba Tuo was so angry that he vomited blood. What kind of justice is in the hearts of the people? It is obviously on our side.

At this moment, Yang Liang raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, are you willing to give it a try?"

"Oh, you still know how to play chess?"

Yang Liang nodded: "I just understand a little bit."

He came to the chess table and sat opposite Gongsun Shou. The two began to play chess with their own black and white stones.

Cui Ming and his gang also came over. They had taken turns to fight just now, and they were no match for Gongsun Shou.

Now a new top pick has emerged, and everyone is looking forward to him.

Expect him to be defeated as well.

Anyway, Gongsun Shou is not a native of his country. He will leave after winning a game. He cannot stay here forever. Everyone will be embarrassed for a while, not forever.

As long as Yang Liang also loses, everyone is embarrassed together, which means no one is embarrassed.

At this time, the situation on the chessboard has gradually become clearer.

At first, the two of them went faster and faster. Later, Gongsun Shou's speed gradually slowed down, and the long test took longer and longer.

Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the chessboard like plum blossoms.

"Prince Gongsun, Prince Gongsun..."

A group of people gathered around, and someone glared at Yang Liang angrily and said, "Did he use a trick to plot against you?"

Gongsun Shou reluctantly calmed down, looked at Yang Liang in shock, and said: "Your Excellency is a superb chess player, I am willing to accept the defeat!"

hiss!

Everyone couldn't help but gasped. Just now, everyone had seen Gongsun Shou's level. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was invincible under the blue sky.

However, even if he also bows to Yang Lianggan, doesn't this mean that Yang Liang's level is above the sky.

After a moment, there was cheering all around.

Princess Yushu also felt that her face was bright, and she smiled with two dimples.

This was finally a normal smile, not the forced smile just now.

Now no one will question his decision and use this matter as an opportunity to attack him.

Yang Liang is indeed a talent, and this talent was promoted by himself, and he will be of great use in the future.

She was lost in thought, thinking that if she was really qualified to sit on that chair, Yang Liang would be a great help to her on her way forward.

Although there was no precedent for a woman to become emperor in the Dasheng Dynasty, things were done by people, and there was no precedent for a father-in-law to usurp the throne.

In this case, I have to train Yang Liang well and keep him close to me.

At this moment, the cheers almost tipped the stage.

"He deserves to be the number one scholar in this subject."

"The number one scholar must be the number one scholar. He is not comparable to ordinary people. Once he takes action, those barbarians can only run away with their heads in their hands."

Everyone was talking to each other in a very lively manner.

At this time, Yu Chifei's voice suddenly sounded, saying: "Do you know how to use a knife?"

Yang Liang turned around and found that Yu Chifei's mung bean eyes were actually wider.

He was holding a scimitar from outside the pass in his hand, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Yang Liang stood up from the chess table and said, "I understand a little bit."

Yu Chifei said: "What a good boy, let's use the sword to decide the outcome. It's simple and fun. If you can beat the sword in my hand, I will admit defeat."

"Okay." Yang Liang simply agreed.

"No, this is absolutely impossible!"

Princess Yushu said: "The sword has no eyes. No matter which one of you is hurt, there will be no way to explain it in the end."

"Princess, please don't worry. If I lose even one drop of blood, I lose." Yang Liang said.

Princess Yushu was startled, as if she was meeting Yang Liang for the first time. Yang Liang, who had always been gentle and elegant, had an unprecedented domineering tone in his voice.

Such a person is really willing to be inferior to others.

When she lost consciousness, Yang Liang had already pulled out the machete on his waist and stood opposite Yu Chifei.

The two sides stared at each other and slowly began to circle.

Before he even made a move, killing intent was already filling the high platform.

Princess Yushu also had to step back. She was vaguely aware that Yang Liang was not that easy to control.

Yang Liang held the knife and bowed his back, like a mantis ready to attack at any time.

Yu Chifei was also like this. Neither of them took the lead. They just wanted to find the other's weaknesses and win with one blow.

Just when everyone was getting impatient with waiting, Yang Liang suddenly took a step forward.

It was this step that made Yu Chifei see the flaw.

He also knew in his heart that this flaw might be intentional by Yang Liang. After the flaw, there must be a trap.

But whether you can successfully trap yourself depends on the other party's ability.

Masters compete with each other within a few inches.

When Yu Chifei was about to bully Yang Liang, Yang Liang suddenly moved, much faster than before.

Yang Liang suddenly disappeared from Yu Chifei's eyes.

Oops!

He secretly said something bad, then struck with the back of the knife and hit him hard on the head.

Yu Chifei felt his eyes go dark and fell to the ground.

"Prince, prince..."

Xi Di's entourage rushed over one after another. After a while, Yu Chifei slowly woke up, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Yang Liang in disbelief.

If you lose, you will be convinced of your defeat.

Yang Liang is not better than him by a little, but by a big margin.

"Where, where are you from..."

he stammered.

"what?"

Everyone else's ears pricked up.

Just listen to Yu Chifei say: "Where did you learn such advanced martial arts."

Princess Yushu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and her laughter was somewhat hearty.

"Don't be surprised, Your Highness Yuchi. We in the Dasheng Dynasty are full of outstanding people, and there are many good men like this. Someone, come quickly, and carry His Highness down for treatment."

A group of people carried Yu Chifei down from the high platform and passed among the crowd.

Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, and then started talking about it.

"Is this His Highness the Wolf of Xidi? In my opinion, it's not that bad."

"Yes, if we meet our champion, he will be knocked down with a stick."

"In my opinion, His Highness the Wolf and His Highness the Dog are so commonplace that people from our Dasheng Kingdom will be frightened when they meet them."

Yu Chifei was originally in a coma, but after this bump in the road, he gradually woke up.

The words around him came into his ears one after another. Yuchi Fei was a proud person, how could he have experienced this.

His face became redder and redder, then his vision went dark, and he passed out from anger.

On the high platform, Princess Yushu became more and more graceful and said: "Prince Tuoba, do we want to continue the competition? Why don't you discuss music theory with the Number One Scholar?"

"I don't think we should compare things that have already been compared."

Tuoba Tuo waved his hand. He was not stupid. Li Qingyang had already said that he was good at playing the piano. Why should he ask for trouble?

After this incident, the face of Xidi Nanyue was damaged, but it had nothing to do with Beirong himself.

This prince won a round.

It has to be said that after being in contact with Princess Yushu for a long time, his bottom line has gradually been lowered.

"Your Highness Yushu, don't forget that this is the top scholar of your Dasheng Dynasty. It's not surprising that he won. What I'm asking is that all the students in your Dasheng Dynasty have this level. Is this subject just a matter of fact?" No one engages in malpractice for personal gain!”

"Report!"

At this moment, an official walked quickly onto the high platform, followed by several soldiers, holding an unkempt middle-aged man in official uniform.

"Princess Qi, Chief Assistant Huang has found out that the transcription officer of the Imperial College accepted money from the candidates and engaged in malpractice for personal gain during this encore."
