Fang Jie and others on the side had evil eyes. If Zhou Jian hadn't stopped them, they would have taken action.

"Why, are you scared? If you can't even fulfill this requirement, then you should just lie down on the enemy's side where you just surrendered." Zhou Jian mocked.

"You!!" Shi Xiong was furious, his veins all over his body were exposed, and he almost ran away.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er and others became even more nervous and stood in the middle, fearing that Shi Xiong would run away and do something crazy: "Master Zhou, please stop saying a few words."

Zhou Jian did not listen to the advice, but continued to stimulate: "Shi Xiong, are you a man? Answer me!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er frowned, a little angry, thinking that Zhou Jian was being unreasonable, but the next second, Shi Xiong roared: "I am so angry, ah!!"

"Okay! I'll bear with you! I'm just doing things for the Prime Minister! When I make achievements, you can't even think about delaying it. When the time comes, we'll still be here. Let's have a fair duel. The loser won't be able to step into Tianque Academy for the rest of his life!" He

He clenched his fists loudly and looked at Zhou Jian intently.

Although he is young and energetic, his nature is not bad.

At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er and Sima Pingping realized belatedly that this was Zhou Jian's way of provoking the general! They had just misunderstood, and Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of self-blame.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhou Jian's lips: "Okay, but you must not become a coward halfway or make no achievements at all."

"I, Shi Xiong, am an upright person with a lot of skills. How could I have accomplished nothing if I hadn't failed to recognize my talent? I'm afraid you'd be a coward by then!" Shi Xiong replied.

Zhou Jian couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, you will report to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow."

"Hmph!" Shi Xiong snorted coldly, then saluted Shangguan Wan'er and left directly. He lost to Zhou Jian and was really embarrassed to stay any longer.

Shangguan Wan'er raised her red lips, but in the end she didn't hold back, just let him be quiet.

The breeze blew and the garden was silent.

It's just that Yan Gongming and the two looked at Zhou Jian with more interest and appreciation. They seemed to be motivated, but in fact they controlled the overall situation and were unfathomable.

"Both of you, you are both mature people. You don't need me to persuade you. I dare to ask, are you willing to serve as prime minister and contribute to the great Zhou Dynasty, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can stay away from the current dire straits?" Zhou Jian handed over his hand.

Very polite and sincere.

The two looked at each other and held their hands at the same time.

"Young Master has already said this, what else do we have to say? When you reach middle age, it's hard to find a talented person. I believe Prime Minister Huo is worth following."

Zhou Jian smiled bitterly, the subtext was, isn't the current emperor worth following?

Suddenly, Sima Ping changed the topic again and looked at Zhou Jian with interest: "Also, I want to ask a question."

Zhou Jian put his hands behind his hands and said generously: "But it doesn't matter."

"I dare to ask Mr. Zhou, who is the person in the prime minister's house? I see that your Excellency has extraordinary conversation and a big heart. He is by no means an idle person." Sima Ping took a deep look at him.

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes also cast a curious look. Zhou Jian gave her a very mysterious feeling, as if wrapped in a layer of fog.

If she believed in Zhou Jian's identity the last time they met, she didn't believe it this time.

Zhou Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that Sima Ping and Yan Gongming were indeed talented people with a sharp eye, could they have guessed his identity?

Impossible! I can't be exposed for the time being. They haven't boarded the ship yet. If I expose myself, I will probably scare these two people away. After all, the reputation of the emperor in this body is too bad. At least half of the misfortune of Dazhou is caused by myself.

"Heh heh heh..." He smiled mischievously and said carelessly: "I am just a retainer in the prime minister's house. I just want to be appreciated by Prime Minister Huo. Don't make any guesses."

Sima Ping and Sima Ping knew that this was an excuse as soon as they heard it, and continued to ask unwillingly: "Master, I don't think so. Do you not believe us?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jian suddenly felt a little embarrassed...

During the stalemate, Shangguan Wan'er saw that he didn't want to talk, so she stood up, smiled, and came to Zhou Jian's rescue in a considerate way: "You two, you guys are chatting. I am also the master after all, but I can't say a word.
