Chapter 125 What is this?
The next morning, Weishan Lake.
The emperor, wearing a dragon robe, came with Xiang Yingyou, and the civil and military officials were neatly lined up on both sides.
Tiefutu stood majestically behind the King of Huainan. Zhang Tianxiong looked straight ahead, holding the steel knife tightly in his hand, with an imposing and majestic demeanor.
On the right is the Mang organization headed by Zhao Qingcheng, with about three hundred people.
They are all teenagers. How could they have seen such a scene before?
Being so close to the emperor, and facing my opponent in this exercise, Zhang Tianxiong, I am so happy to be able to participate!
In addition, the place was crowded with people who came to watch.
Although there were a lot of people, no one dared to speak and the whole scene was very solemn!
The rising sun is high in the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
The rapid drumbeats spread far away, making everyone's heartbeat quicken!
"The Holy One has a decree!"
"The Imperial College Competition is not a life-and-death duel. Both sides should stop fighting when it's time!"
"Therefore, all swords are made of wood!"
"Dabi's background is..."
Eunuch Jing stood up and read out the rules of the competition loudly.
He already knew what Li Wuling told Chen Changan yesterday.
In just a cup of tea, the rules have been made clear.
"The King of Huainan has been on the battlefield for a long time, so I don't think there is anything he doesn't understand."
"Master Chen, His Majesty asked me to ask you, do you really want to compete?"
"It's not too late to tell me now."
Eunuch Jing looked at Chen Changan expectantly.
Almost all the civil and military officials in the court, and almost everyone in the entire Chu State believed that Chen Changan was seeking death!
A scholar dares to challenge the King of Huainan...
Courage is commendable, but don't take it seriously!
Zhang Tianxiong sneered, raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Chen Changan.
...his eyes were full of warnings!
Chen Changan was not afraid, his eyes narrowed: "I have no regrets!"
Okay, okay, if you don’t regret it, just wait for death!
Li Wuling closed his eyes, and Yan Qing finally looked at Chen Changan curiously.
Young man, what do you rely on?
Eunuch Jing looked back at the emperor, who shook his head in disappointment.
Chen Chang'an did not know when to advance or retreat, and wanted to fight with King Huainan just because of his anger. In the emperor's opinion, this was unwise.
That's good, let Chen Changan experience what a battlefield is like, so that he won't be too arrogant.
The emperor looked at the two competing parties without any hesitation.
"One hundred golden armored guards versus Iron Pagoda. The match begins immediately."
"King Huainan, Chen Changan, write down the tactics you used. I want to see who has the tricks first."
The King of Huainan looked indifferent and said nothing.
Zhang Tianxiong took a step forward, knelt down and reported: "What Chen Hanzi is entangled with is just a mob. They will be defeated at a single blow. I don't take them seriously!"
"The Golden Armor Guards are trusted by the Emperor, I am afraid they may be harmed!"
"Please let your Majesty know that I will not be held responsible for my mistakes. Only then can I give it a try and live up to God's grace!"
The emperor frowned. No tactics?
But think about it, competing in bravery with the Golden Armored Guards, fighting against Chen Changan...what tactics are needed?
Before the emperor could say anything, Chen Changan knelt down and reported.
"Your Majesty, what tactics do you have to deal with a mere Iron Pagoda?"
"Chen Changan has the confidence, ability, and courage to defeat them severely in the official competition!"
"I am afraid that if I act too harshly, I will anger the King of Huainan!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order not to hold me accountable for my mistakes afterwards. Only then can I give it a try and live up to the grace of God!"
All the ministers were stunned, and then laughed out loud.
"Zhuangyuanlang, how much did you drink this morning?"
"Iron Buddha is qualified to say this. His reputation on the battlefield was earned through fighting. What about you?"
"Humph, I think the number one scholar won't cry until he sees the coffin!"
Facing the criticism from his ministers, Chen Changan looked resolute.
The emperor first looked at Zhao Qingcheng, and when she nodded slightly, he said, "Since both sides have said so, why do we still need wooden props?"
"The exercise is close to actual combat. Both sides should use whatever they have!"
"Go down and prepare. When you are ready, follow the flag!"
The emperor looked impatient and gave the order.
Zhang Tianxiong decisively led his men on board the ship and headed for Dacheng Island.
Chen Changan was not anxious.
He brought Zhao Qingcheng and the Golden Armor Guards to his own territory, where there were many things wrapped in curtains, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
The students of the School of Engineering were ready for battle, and the young men in Mang's organization all looked excited.
If I could fight with Iron Buddha, I could always brag about it when I go back, right?
Chen Changan smiled and said, "It seems that you all have something to say. The war hasn't started yet, so you can speak freely."
The people from the Mang organization immediately laughed out loud.
"Top Scholar, is that the Emperor? Really, I never thought I could see the Emperor!"
"Sir, you are so kind to my junior fellow apprentice from the Salesian Square!"
"Our opponent is Zhang Tianxiong, the Bloody Shura!"
“I adore him so much!”
"My Lord, are you the same as us?"
Everyone looked at Chen Changan expectantly, asking for his opinion.
Chen Changan smiled indifferently. Who does he worship?
The current state of the Mang organization is definitely not going to work. Just as Zhang Tianxiong said, it will collapse at the first blow!
Fortunately, Chen Changan was well prepared.
"It's over?" Chen Changan crossed his arms, his face showing no emotion. "Let me ask you, what is waiting for you?"
The young men in the Mang organization were all puzzled, what else could it be?
Li Zhaoyao understood what Chen Changan meant, and relying on the fact that he and Chen Changan were brothers, he laughed out loud.
"Brother, of course we have to fight the Iron Buddha!"
"We all know that it was an exercise between the Institute of Technology and the Prince of Huainan, just to amuse the Emperor!"
Li Zhaoyao's voice was naughty, and everyone chuckled and nodded.
Yes, they didn't think they could win!
Just to make the emperor happy!
Chen Changan remained unmoved and continued to ask: "What do you think this is?"
"Drill, practice, what's wrong?"
Li Zhaoyao asked in confusion.
"what is this?"
"Drill!" Li Zhaoyao was annoyed by the question, "Brother, do you have hearing problems?"
"what is this?"
"This is a drill! This is a drill!!! How many times do I have to say this?"
Sonorous!
Chen Changan pulled out a short blade from somewhere, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
Li Zhaoyao didn't understand what was going on. Chen Changan took a dagger and stabbed it into Li Zhaoyao's chest fiercely!
Turn your wrist and still exert force!
"what!!"
Li Zhaoyao screamed as the short knife pierced into the flesh, splashing a series of blood!
Pfft!
Li Zhaoyao lost all his strength, covered his wound with his hands, and said tremblingly: "Brother, why, why..."
There was a pleading look in Li Zhaoyao's eyes, and everyone in the Mang organization was terrified!
Even Zhu Zigeng's expression changed drastically!
what's the situation?
Li Zhaoyao is Chen Changan's brother and they are sworn brothers. Just for such a small matter, Chen Changan actually stabbed him?
As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and the same goes for the top scholar!
Chen Changan looked at him dimly: "Let me ask you, what is this???"
