Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 6 Dandy Zhuge Qiao? Guan Yu was so angry!
  Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "I will not return to Xichuan for the time being, and Aqiao will also stay in Jiangling. Junhou——"

Mi Zhu didn't know why Zhuge Qiao's performance just now was so unsatisfactory, but in order to complete Zhuge Liang's commission, Mi Zhu defended Zhuge Qiao again.

Guan Yu's smile stopped abruptly, interrupting Mi Zhu's argument: "Zizhong, after all, Zhuge Qiao is not of the military advisor's blood. When Xiangfan is defeated and Cao Ren is captured, Guan will go to Sichuan and apologize to the military advisor in person."

Mi Zhu saw that Guan Yu was a little impatient with Zhuge Qiao, so he quickly persuaded him again: "Your Majesty, although A Qiao just lost his temper, his talents have been recognized by the military advisor."

"When I was in Shu County, Aqiao also often said that Guan Junhou, who took Yan Liang's head from ten thousand armies, was the best general in the world."

"On the way south to Jiangling, Aqiao also admired Guan Junhou a lot; I secretly thought that Aqiao should be given another chance to show off."

When he heard Mi Zhu's words, "The best generals in the world," Guan Yu's eyes softened slightly, and he became less unhappy with Zhuge Qiao's gaffe just now.

"Looking at Zizhong, Guan will test Zhuge Qiao's school. But Guan is making ugly remarks. If Zhuge Qiao's performance is still poor, he will no longer be able to stay in Jiangling City." Guan Yu relaxed.

Mi Zhu asked: "How will the prince prepare for the assessment?"

Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Guan has often heard that Confucian scholars have six arts of ritual, music, shooting, and imperial Shu. Guan is not qualified to evaluate the ritual, music, and archery, so he assessed Zhuge Qiao's three skills of archery and imperial Shu."

"Guan doesn't bully the juniors either. If Zhuge Qiao excels in one of the three archery skills, Guan will accept the marriage."

The rituals, music, dance, archery, driving, calligraphy and arithmetic include etiquette, music, dance and calligraphy focusing on moral cultivation, archery and driving focusing on military skills, and arithmetic focusing on practical skills.

Guan Yu did not examine the Book of Rites and Music, but only examined the Sheyushu. He wanted to see whether Zhuge Qiao was a layman who could only talk about high topics, or a talented scholar who understood current affairs like Zhuge Liang.

Mi Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Yu's assessment has taken great care of Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang's face, and he is not suspected of bullying the juniors because of his subjective dissatisfaction with Zhuge Qiao.

Mi Zhu cupped her hands and thanked him: "As a prince, Aqiao will definitely try his best to express himself."

When he came outside the tent, Mi Zhu found Zhuge Qiao who was chatting with Guan Ping and informed Zhuge Qiao about Guan Yu's assessment.

At the same time, Mi Zhu reminded: "Ah Qiao, you have to behave well this time and don't behave like before. If you don't perform well, the king will send you back to Shu County even if I play matchmaker."

Guan Ping saw that Zhuge Qiao looked a little nervous, so he comforted him: "Ah Qiao, when it comes to archery and driving, the most important thing is to have a stable mentality. Just keep a normal mind."

Zhuge Qiao took a deep breath and pretended to adjust his emotions.

Soldiers had already prepared bows, arrows and arrow targets.

The distance between the archery target and the target is thirty paces, and the bow used is a six-dou light bow. This standard is already quite low.

Seeing the lieutenants and generals gathering gradually, Zhuge Qiao raised his lips slightly, drew his bow and started shooting at the target.

For a moment.

All five arrows came out and hit the edge of the target.

All the military schools were in an uproar and were whispering.

Guan Yu's face became even colder as the five arrows ended. If Mi Zhu hadn't been by his side, Guan Yu would have walked away.

Mi Zhu's face was also quite embarrassed, and she didn't know how to tell the difference for Zhuge Qiao.

Guan Ping came to Zhuge Qiao with his carriage and whispered: "Ah Qiao, this is the tamest war horse in the army. Don't panic."

Although Zhuge Qiao's performance was not good, Guan Ping did not underestimate Zhuge Qiao and still showed the demeanor of the eldest brother among his peers.

"Thank you, brother."

Zhuge Qiao thanked him and began to drive the chariot. However, something embarrassing happened that Guan Ping didn't expect.

This war horse is indeed the most docile. It is so docile that Zhuge Qiao cannot even let the war horse move its hooves.

Seeing Zhuge Qiao waving his whip anxiously on the carriage, Guan Yu's expression was not accurate enough to describe it as cold.

"Zizhong, only the final math test is left." Guan Yu stopped looking at Zhuge Qiao.

Just when Liao Hua, the chief military officer of the march, gave Zhuge Qiao the questions for the math test, Zhuge Qiao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, my nephew thinks this test is unfair."

Guan Yu originally didn't want to talk to Zhuge Qiao, but when he saw that Zhuge Qiao actually refuted the content of the assessment, he couldn't help but snorted: "Is it fair to have to assess the book of rituals and music?"

Zhuge Qiao exclaimed: "The examination of the Book of Rites and Music cannot show my nephew's ability. Archery and imperial skills depend on practice making perfect. It is normal for my nephew to be weak in archery and imperial skills at a young age."

"As for the math test, I will use the made-up questions to assess it. My nephew thinks this is something only secular scholars would do. Since there is a test, it must be a practical test!"

Guan Yu couldn't help but feel happy: "You are really eloquent now. How do you want to take the practical exam?"

Zhuge Qiao glanced around and heard more and more private discussions in the surrounding military schools. He pretended to be tough and said: "Since this is a water village, it will inevitably involve the purchase and consumption of ordnance, food, grass and other materials."

"My nephew is so bold that he wants to settle Shuizhai's real debt!"

"If my nephew can't settle the actual accounts, I don't need to say anything. My nephew will return to Xichuan today."

Mi Zhu's face changed greatly and he yelled: "Ah Qiao, Shuizhai's actual accounts involve military secrets, how can I easily calculate it for you?"

Zhuge Qiao said: "If the prince is worried about my nephew leaking secrets, my nephew is willing to issue a military order. If the secrets are leaked, I will kill my nephew according to the law."

Guan Yu's eyes gradually became colder, and his tone became more chilly: "If I don't comply with your request, you will definitely not be convinced. You are the eldest son of a military advisor, and Guan does not need to ask you to issue a military order."

"I'll let you know, so what can I do? Yuan Jian, go get some of the latest receipts from the account treasury."

Liao Hua took the order and went to the account storehouse to bring a bunch of bamboo slips.

These credentials are all related to the latest ordnance, food and supplies that have been put into storage, and were sent by Mi Fang.

Mi Zhu couldn't hold it in anymore and hurriedly came to Zhuge Qiao and asked in a low voice: "Ah Qiao, what are you thinking about? If you can't satisfy the king in the math test, you really have to go back to Xichuan."

Zhuge Qiao gave him a reassuring look.

The existence of abacus has long existed in the Han Dynasty. The mathematician Xu Yue of the Eastern Han Dynasty left a "Record of Numerology", which recorded fourteen algorithms, including the abacus algorithm that "controls the four o'clock and the three latitude and longitude".

I saw the fingertips of Zhuge Qiao's left hand quickly moving the abacus beads, while his right hand continued to flip through the bamboo slips and record the abacus results.

In less than a moment, all the calculations on the bamboo slips that Liao Hua brought were done.

"My nephew, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate!" Zhuge Qiao saluted Guan Yu.

Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Guan Yu: "Junhou, do you see?"

Guan Yu's face was a little ugly, but his words were like splashing water. Even if Guan Yu was dissatisfied with Zhuge Qiao, he could not break his promise.

Guan Yu snorted coldly and turned around to enter the tent: "Let Zhuge Qiao enter the tent and talk about it."

　Tip: If you think it is unreasonable, think about the fact that the protagonist is only 15 years old. If he shows that he is proficient in the Six Arts of the Gentleman, can the protagonist become famous in Gangneung in one day?
