Zhang Guoshi rubbed his eyes and blinked several times, as if he wanted to capture something. When he was convinced again, he also showed a bitter smile, "How could it be him?"
"It's really strange. Although he doesn't go out all the year round and lives deep inside, does he have some skills in private?"
"Oh? Who is he? Why does he look familiar to me?" Mr. Deng asked.
Zhang Guoshi reluctantly waved his hand, motioning for him to come closer, and finally he put his hand on his shoulder and whispered.
After finishing speaking, Mr. Deng's eyes widened in disbelief, "It's really him!? No wonder he looks familiar... This is terrible, that boy Lan Chen must have been ruthless."
.....Isn’t that right? Why does he have to take the exam?”
"I don't know." Zhang Guoshi shook his head regretfully, "You also know some things. He is not favored and rarely appears in the outside world. I think he came just to see his own strength. I think everyone present can recognize him.
There are so few that even high-ranking officials might not be able to recognize them."
"This is also..."
A glance at the atmosphere at the scene showed that the people's shouts also weakened a bit. Although it was not that Xu Zhu was not welcome, it was more because they were tired.
Not to mention that Xu Zhu is very handsome. When such a handsome man comes to the duel field, it will only make people feel a little weird.
"Forget it." Zhang Guoshi shook his head, "Since it is his own wish, let him go. We can't control it too much."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Deng hesitated for a moment. He could hear some strange atmosphere between the lines, but he did not take it directly to heart. After all, he should just let this matter go.
But he also sensed some weird atmosphere from it, as if when he said this, he said it in the capacity of 'National Master'.
On the other side, seeing Xu Zhu finally on the stage, Lan Chen couldn't help but grin, his smile was full of laughter, and he was also full of fighting spirit.
The examiner looked around for a moment, and after confirming the status of the two of them, he immediately announced the rules, "Any weapon can be used, but please remember that until the point is reached, one party will admit defeat, or lose consciousness, or fall outside the venue.
It means losing."
"Do you have any other questions?"
"there is none left!"
"Okay, let's start!"
With the call to start, the people became even more excited, all waiting for a wonderful event. Unfortunately, things did not develop as expected.
Seeing Lan Chen, he seemed to be full of fighting spirit, but after he started, he sat cross-legged and stared at Xu Zhu with a look of carelessness.
Xu Zhu didn't take any action at all. He shrugged helplessly and walked slowly towards Lan Chen. He also sat down together. He looked at Lan Chen and said helplessly, "Master Lan... we meet again."
"Yes, Mr. Xu Zhu? How many days have passed since we last saw each other is like several autumns!"
"What? Mr. Lan is angry?" Xu Zhu showed a bright smile, "It's been two days since we said goodbye that day, and I don't know how it went in the literary test?"
"Since you want to know, why don't you come to me directly? Why get me drunk, trick me into the Gongyuan, and then let me sleep on the street?" Lan Chen smiled, and his tone didn't seem to be at all annoyed, but he also
Full of surging power.
"Alas! Speaking of this, it's obviously the fault of that boy Xiaotian."
"I still remember it clearly, so I'm not going to give an explanation?"
"What's the point of saying this? It's better to say that we met today because it was fate. I hope Mr. Lan can be merciful later."
"No." Lan Chen shook his head, turned his head and said, "I plan to beat you up first, and then I will go to Xiaotian and beat you up too."
"Hahaha!" Xu Zhu laughed loudly, "I don't care, I also believe that Mr. Lan can do this, but it's okay now... As for Xiaotian, you probably have nothing to do. Don't say you can't touch him, I can't even touch him."
"Oh? Is this what you meant?"
"Is it possible that Mr. Lan still doesn't know who Xiaotian is?"
"Let's talk."
Xu Zhu smiled happily, and at the same time, he lowered his voice subconsciously and said, "Don't you think he doesn't look like a great person? He is the current crown prince of Yi Kingdom! Yi Zhoutian."
"What!" Lan Chen's eyes widened, not believing that this was the case.
But if you think about it carefully, Xiaotian also looks like a monkey.
"Shh!" Xu Zhu quickly signaled Lan Chen not to make any noise with his eyes, "I investigated this matter secretly. It is very hidden. Mr. Lan, please don't make any noise."
"I think he came to the capital because he had nothing to do and wanted to come to the Daqian Dynasty to see what the exam was all about."
"Although there has been no war between Daqian and the State of Yi for a long time, and there have been frequent contacts between the two countries, what he did was really bold. If he came as a prince, then forget it, but he dared to come incognito. Hey, fun fun."
"Then...is it okay?" Lan Chen asked.
Isn’t this equivalent to ‘spying’?
Xu Zhu shook his head and said, "That was Yi Zhoutian's own choice. Since he came incognito and something went wrong on the way, it was also his problem. But now Da Gan doesn't have to watch Yi Guo take action, even if he If he had said hello, he would have welcomed me warmly, but I think he did so out of his own considerations."
"I see......"
Thinking that he once had a drink and chatted with a prince from another country, he also sighed at the wonder of the world. For ordinary people, this might be such a glorious thing to honor one's ancestors, but for Lan Chen, it was just an ordinary thing. There is no need to brag about what you have seen and heard.
"It's not just that." As if he read something from Lan Chen's eyes, Xu Zhu grinned, as if there was a hint of teasing hidden in his smile, "So I spent some time with a prince from another country, and even drank Being drunk with Ning tincture is nothing to worry about for you?"
"Why do you care about it?" Lan Chen asked, "Besides, what do you think about it?"
"Me? What can I think? I just feel that I am destined." Xu Zhu smiled happily, "Let me tell you another secret. I am the seventh prince of the Daqian Dynasty. In other words, for the wine that night, you are with The princes of both countries drink alcohol, and..."
Speaking of which, Xu Zhu, the so-called seventh prince, stopped talking.
Instead, he stared at Lan Chen closely with a meaningful look.
As if waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
And Lan Chen was really surprised and didn't know what to say.
One, the Crown Prince of Yi State, Yi Zhoutian, the future Emperor of Yi State.
Another seventh prince of the Daqian Dynasty, in the future...
Thinking of this, Lan Chen also suddenly realized what Xu Zhu's unsaid words were.
It seems that the seventh prince also has ambitions to seize the throne.
Shrugging, Lan Chen raised his hands and said, "You two have treated me like a monkey, I admire you. Then what should I call you? Xu Zhu, or the Seventh Prince?"
"Lan Chen." The seventh prince's eyes darkened, and he said seriously, "You are not in the imperial palace, so there are some things you don't understand. Although Xiaotian... that is, Yi Zhoutian, he has never said it, but
That night was a night I will never forget."
"He and I had no intention of hiding it from you. Even I found out after the fact. I don't think Yi Zhoutian knew that I was the seventh prince. The three of us at least became close friends in a short but tangible moment.
Isn’t it?”
Looking at the sincere eyes of the Seventh Prince, Lan Chen suddenly felt a little dazed, but he still nodded subconsciously, "Indeed, that was the only night when I was so drunk, at least my heart was drunk, but...
.Stop talking about this, I will still slap you when it’s time to slap you! It’s okay to get me drunk, now just throw it on the street!”
"You know how many people stared at me when I woke up that day? It was so embarrassing!"
"Hahaha!" The seventh prince looked up to the sky and smiled, "It's just a joke."
"So give me a spanking?"
"No, I am ready to admit defeat. Although I have learned some martial arts since I was a child in the palace, I also know that it is just a show. Besides, you are a prodigy, how can I beat you?"
"Then why did you come to take the exam?"
"Hey, secret." The Seventh Prince shrugged and said with a relaxed look, "I was prepared to be eliminated anytime and anywhere. If I can survive one round, it will be one round. But when I met you, I knew that I wouldn't be able to do it in the first round.
Already."
"roll."
Lan Chen was a little unhappy at this time.
When he saw Xu Zhu coming, he thought he could relieve his hatred, but he didn't expect that the other party turned out to be the Seventh Prince!
Forget it, he could just pretend not to listen and beat him up before talking, but now he said he was ready to give up and admit defeat.
This is for fun!
I am full of anger, but I don’t know how to solve it!
"Okay, then I'll get out of here. Hey, let's talk again. Lan Chen, how much courage do you have to give me? Do you dare to hit me? Aren't you afraid of beheading me?"
After saying that, the Seventh Prince really stood up, raised his hands, and said that he would give up and admit defeat. Then he turned his back to Lan Chen and left in a swaggering manner.
...
Instantly, it aroused bursts of anger!
What happened!?
The long-awaited discussion, the two of them sat cross-legged, chatting for so long, and then stopped!?
Abstained!?
Playing like a monkey!
But the next scene also made everyone feel relieved...
I saw Lan Chen slowly stand up, sprint forward with a vigorous stride, jump up suddenly, and kick his legs!
At the same time, he also kicked out his own future, as well as the next emperor of the Daqian Dynasty...the emperor!
