Chapter 178 Willing to admit defeat, a bounty of 100,000!
Lin Dong is approximately in his early twenties. He is dressed in smart clothes that highlight his strong figure, handsome features and extraordinary demeanor.
This man is the son of Lin Yun, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. He has loved martial arts since he was a child and has a good reputation in the capital. He is one of the few who is not a playboy.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, the people around him were all excited, especially the young and beautiful girls, whose eyes shone brightly.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lin. Hasn't he already qualified for the imperial examination? Why does he still need to take the make-up examination?"
"Master Lin is really handsome and a good man. If I can marry him, my death will be worth it..."
When the ministers heard these words, they all held their hands and congratulated Lin Yun.
Xu Xiu, who was closest to him, had an even flattering look on his face: "Master Lin, your master has a graceful demeanor and an extraordinary aura. He will definitely win!"
"Haha, Xu Shangshu said something serious. Quanzi has been mentally unstable recently, so I asked him to take the Enke make-up exam to practice..."
Lin Yun said nonchalantly, but his face was filled with pride.
Originally, Lin Dong had already qualified for the imperial examination, so he took the initiative to participate in the make-up examination just to gain more exposure and shine in front of His Majesty!
While talking, Lin Dong stepped onto the ring and faced Wang Potian face to face.
Their eyes met, sparks flying.
"Ask me for advice!"
Lin Dong was the first to take action. He had absolute confidence in his own strength. These ordinary people were just poor ghosts, how could they compare with him.
Punch!
Stretch your legs!
Lin Dong forced Wang Potian back with one move!
"Okay!" Lin Yun couldn't help but cheer.
Lin Dong was moving faster and faster, forcing Wang Potian to keep retreating.
The surrounding ministers saw disappointment in their eyes. They originally thought Wang Potian was a general, but they didn't expect it to be anything more than that.
"It seems that I would like to congratulate Lin Shangshu in advance..." Xu Xiu said.
Zhu Youde glanced at Xu Xiu who was standing below and snorted: "It's too early to speak!"
As soon as he said this, the smile on Lin Yun's face froze.
"Your Majesty, how can this country man compare with my son? Looking at the situation on the ring, I'm afraid the winner will be decided in less than three minutes..."
Although Lin Yun was unhappy, he did not dare to show it.
Zhu Youde said coldly: "I am optimistic about Wang Potian, why don't we make a bet?"
"Betting?" Lin Yun was a little confused.
"Just bet on who can win! How about one hundred thousand gold?" Zhu Youde chuckled.
Lin Yun hesitated for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty is joking, how can I have one hundred thousand gold..."
"Humph, I'm afraid the Lin family's property is quite a lot!"
"Then... I will accompany His Majesty for entertainment..." Lin Yun was silent for a moment, but agreed.
First of all, he didn't believe that Lin Dong would lose.
Secondly, His Majesty gave him one hundred thousand gold as a gift. Is there any reason not to accept it?
The two reached an agreement and immediately looked towards the ring.
Lin Dong's offensive became more and more fierce, pressing Wang Potian the entire time, only a few meters away from the edge of the ring.
"Is a country man worthy of entering the palace examination? Go home and beg!"
With a loud shout, Lin Dong punched out with all his strength, hoping to directly repel his opponent.
But with a muffled sound, Lin Dong was dumbfounded!
Wang Potian actually took the punch without even taking a step back.
"Who said that a country man is not worthy of entering the palace examination? Today, I am going to test the strength of the noble son of the capital!"
Wang Potian shook off his fists and took off his coat to reveal his thick arms, his muscular body making people tremble.
"Asking for advice!"
Sound like thunder, body like lightning!
After punching out, Lin Dong's expression changed wildly, his feet softened and he took dozens of steps back!
"This, this..." Lin Yun was dumbfounded. How could his son, who had just gained the upper hand, almost lose in an instant?
Zhu Youde glanced sarcastically. How could he, a scholar, know that Wang Potian was just testing.
At this moment, the real move is made.
He struck out continuously, forcing Lin Dong to run to the side of the ring to pick up his weapon.
The use of weapons is allowed in Enke's make-up exam.
Seeing Lin Dong pick up the spear, Wang Potian took out a small knife from the weapon rack.
Every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. When Lin Dong saw him pick up the knife, he taunted him: "Your vision is as small as your weapon! Bastard, watch your moves!"
The spear shoots out like a dragon breaking through the sky!
Everyone thought that Wang Potian was finished, but he didn't move at all and pointed his spear at the flick of his wrist.
In an instant, the knife became unpredictable and shot eighteen times in a row.
Zhu Youde was extremely shocked, it was so powerful, even a small knife had such power.
Wang Zhonghou's eyes flashed with differences, and he lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, these are the Eighteen Mobei Swordsmen. Wang Potian, I am afraid he is a descendant of the Mobei Swordsman Sect..."
Zhu Youde became interested, but he didn't expect Wang Potian to have such an identity.
While the two were talking, Wang Potian on the stage cut off his spear and kicked it out, causing Lin Dong to fall to the ground.
"The outcome has been decided."
Without saying a word, Wang Potian prepared to leave the ring without looking back.
As the referee, Luo Yunshan was just about to announce the result when he saw Lin Dong gritting his teeth and getting up from the ground, flicking the back of his hand and stabbing out a flying knife.
"Be careful!" Luo Yunshan warned, trying to stop him but it was too late.
Unexpectedly, Wang Potian didn't even turn around. He dodged to the right to avoid the hidden weapon, and the moment he turned around, he threw the knife.
"Pfft..."
The knife was inserted into his heart accurately, and Lin Dong fell down with disbelief on his face.
silence!
Everyone is stupid!
Everything was changing in the arena, but Lin Dong died in the blink of an eye?!
"Wang Potian wins!" Luo Yunshan announced.
But the focus of everyone's attention was no longer on the outcome, but on Lin Dong's death.
"Your Majesty, this man is ruthless and will not hesitate to kill Dong'er in order to win. I ask your Majesty to kill this man!" Lin Yun knelt on the ground, his face full of pain and anger.
Xu Xiu also knelt down and begged for orders: "Your Majesty, Wang Potian accidentally killed someone, and I think he should be executed!"
Zhu Di also reported: "Your Majesty, I think this person should be killed!"
Even many ministers also came forward one after another.
Zhu Youde looked at Wang Potian who was still in the ancient well and suddenly smiled.
This son is neither humble nor arrogant, and is worthy of the great responsibility entrusted to him!
"Your Majesty, I hope you can make the decision for me!" Lin Yun begged again.
"Get out!" Zhu Youde shouted loudly.
"Success or failure in the arena depends on fate. Lin Dong's skills are not as good as others, so I can't interfere in this matter."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! My son has qualified for the palace examination. How could he easily lose to a country boy! It must be that boy..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Youde interrupted directly: "Wang Potian stopped after deciding the winner. It was Lin Dong who violated the rules and used a concealed weapon. He deserves death!"
"Since he died in the ring, I will not pursue it further. Let this matter be dropped!"
As soon as these words came out, the meaning was very clear - if you are investigating, I will punish you!
Lin Yun was speechless. Looking at his son's cold body, he couldn't help crying.
At such an old age, you only have a son, and your mother is dead. What a sin!
"Master Lin, if you are willing to admit defeat, don't forget the reward of 100,000 yuan!" Zhu Youde reminded.
"this……"
Lin Yun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Even if his son was dead, he would pay him 100,000 gold even if he didn't say anything!
I lost my wife and lost my troops!
Zhu Youde took the 100,000 silver note, glanced at Wang Potian, and made an astonishing move...
