Chapter 5: You're going to lose
The simple and honest sound of the ancient bell came from the Heavenly Hall of the Imperial Capital, and all the civil and military officials were already waiting outside the noon gate.
"Squeaky. ”
The vermilion gate slowly opened, a light came, and a long imperial road was displayed in front of everyone.
"Smack!"
The sound of a long whip striking the air came, causing everyone's spirits to suddenly shake.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the second whip and the third whip came in turn.
After three rings, Gao Lishi's voice rang out from the heavenly temple.
"Early Chaoqi, Xuan Baiguan will meet you!"
Gao Lishi's voice echoed in the space, and the hundred officials sorted out their robes and walked towards the noon gate in an orderly manner.
Today, everyone knows that it is the day when Qin Xiawei, the prince of the Great Jing Immortal Kingdom, and Qin Changsheng, the ninth prince of the Great Jing Immortal Kingdom, agreed to gamble, and almost everyone is not optimistic about Qin Changsheng, thinking that Qin Changsheng is young and vigorous, and he is majestic for a while.
After so many years of cultivation, how could he be able to gather spiritual energy in three days!
Unless the sun hits the west and comes out!
Walking into the Heavenly Temple, the hundred officials stood in turn.
At the forefront are the nine princes of the Great Jing Immortal Kingdom.
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to retreat!"
Gao Lishi shook the dust in his hand and said to the ministers below.
"The retainers have something to do!"
At this time, Qin Xiawei walked out of the queue and bowed to the majestic Great Jing Immortal Emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair in the Heavenly Palace.
"Quasi-play!"
The Great Jing Immortal Emperor said lightly.
"Qi Father, the son agreed with the ninth brother three days ago to gamble, today's deadline has arrived, I hope the father will allow the son to gamble with the ninth brother!"
Qin Xiawei said to the Great Jing Immortal Emperor.
"Lao Jiu, are you ready?"
The Great Jing Immortal Emperor looked at Qin Changsheng in the queue.
Qin Changsheng put on a python robe, walked out of the queue, bowed to the Great Jing Immortal Emperor, and replied: "Father Qi, the sons and daughters naturally keep their promises, the three days have arrived, and they are willing to gamble with King Xia!"
"Accurate!"
The word confided by the Great Jing Immortal Emperor means that the gambling battle between the Xia King Qin Xia Jian and Qin Changsheng is about to begin!
"Brother Emperor, I don't know what you're going to try with me?"
Qin Changsheng looked at Qin Xiayu and asked with a sneer.
"Hehe! Ninth brother, you said at the crowning ceremony, Wen can put pen to peace in the world, Wu can go to the horse to determine the world, today, the imperial brother will compete with you to fight for martial arts!
I want to see how confident you are, ninth brother, to be able to gamble with this king!"
Qin Xiawei flicked his sleeves, and the look on his face was the same as his name, unruly.
A pair of eyes looked at Qin Changsheng, as if they were eating him.
"Since King Xia has this interest, the imperial brother will naturally accompany him to the end!"
Qin Changsheng smiled slightly, not afraid at all.
"I heard that King Xia has a lot of capable ministers and famous generals, I don't know who to send out to compete with me? Or King Xia, you will appear in person?"
Qin Changsheng glanced at the Xia King's group and asked.
"Qiqi Xia Wang, Xia Cangjie, Xiaguan Xia Cangjie, is willing to fight with the Nine Emperor Princes!"
At this time, one of Qin Xiaji's columns took the initiative to stand up and said to Qin Xiaji.
"Okay, Cangjie, as the doctor of the Five Classics of Tai Academy, it is up to you to fight with the ninth brother Wendou!"
Qin Xiajie saw Xia Cangjie take the initiative to stand up, and a smug look appeared on his face.
Doctor of the Five Classics, that is the most learned existence in the Dajing Immortal Guotai Academy.
The Five Classics, as the name suggests, are "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn".
Although Qin Changsheng is also well-read, compared to a scholar like Xia Cangjie, he must be slightly inferior.
What's more, Xia Cangjie's greatest contribution is to invent the script that is now common in the entire Dajing Immortal Kingdom!
Xia Cangjie's initiative to fight, it can basically be said that he is nine out of ten!
As for martial arts, Qin Xiawei hadn't thought about Qin Changsheng winning at all.
A person who was born with a stone vein, he has not been able to cultivate for more than ten years, and he can still turn the sky upside down in these few days?
Qin Changsheng saw Xia Cangjie walk out, his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Since the doctor of the Five Classics of Tai Academy wants to fight with this prince, then this prince will have a good discussion with you!"
"I don't know what the Nine Emperor Princes are going to try?"
Xia Cangjie looked at Qin Changsheng and asked.
"Today, this prince will let you choose! Only by defeating you with what you are best at can you show the ability of this prince, if I win you with what I am good at, it will not be interesting!"
Qin Changsheng snorted coldly and said.
"Hmph! arrogant! Old Jiu, now that the big words are out, if you slap your face in a while, this king wants to see how thick the ninth brother's face is!"
Qin Xiawei sneered.
"I guess you won't see it!"
Before it started, Qin Changsheng was on the same page as Qin Xiaji.
The civil and military officials present, including the high-ranking Emperor Jingxian, did not make a sound, but just looked at the two quietly.
"Since the Nine Emperor Princes said so, then don't blame the lower officials for offending more!"
Xia Cangjie glanced at Qin Changsheng, and then said: "A gentleman has six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, how about we compare to a book today?"
"Sir, please!"
Qin Changsheng said lightly.
Book, that is, calligraphy and painting, the great Confucian, a heroic and righteous spirit, words and laws, pen down words, earth-shattering, auspicious, Haoran righteousness to suppress a party of evil!
Therefore, there are clouds in heaven and earth, one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading, six seven phases and eight gods, and nine nobles and ten health.
The Immortal Kingdom Sect cultivates luck, while those who read are those who cultivate Haoran righteousness.
"Give, pen, ink, paper, inkstone!"
As soon as Gao Lishi shook off the dust, someone immediately brought a table to Qin Changsheng and Xia Cangjie.
"Nine Emperor Princes, please!"
Xia Cangjie led with a false hand, with a literati arrogance, and said.
"Hehe! It's better for Mr. to come first! I'm afraid that if I make a move, you won't have a chance to show it!"
Qin Changsheng smiled.
"Hmph! That old man will have to wait and see the masterpiece of the Nine Emperor Princes for a while!"
Xia Cangjie was a little angry when he saw Qin Changsheng's frivolous appearance, and there was a trace of anger in his words.
"Then you wait!"
Qin Changsheng said casually.
"Humph!"
Xia Cangjie was annoyed by Qin Muran's attitude, so he ignored it directly, walked to the table with a brisk step, raised his hand and picked up the imperial brush.
The white rice paper is spread on the table, the rice paper is pure white and fine, soft and even, light but not slippery, transparent and diffuse.
Xia Cangjie held a brush in his hand, and after staining it in black ink, he wrote four big characters on rice paper - "guard against arrogance and rashness".
When his words were finished, a dazzling light poured out from the rice paper, the ink fragrance was fragrant, and the rolling Haoran righteousness formed four pillars of light, soaring into the sky, extremely dazzling.
"Okay! Lord Cangjie is amazing! Just four words, you can have such a vision, Haoran righteousness is a pillar of light, earth-shattering!"
One of the officials on Qin Xiaji's side immediately echoed his words.
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of echoes, and they all admired Qin Xiaji's attainments.
"Beware of arrogance and rashness! Nine Emperor Princes, what do you think of Lao Chen's writing?"
Xia Cangjie looked at the four big characters on the rice paper that exuded heroic righteousness, and then looked up at Qin Changsheng and asked.
"It is worthy of being the doctor of the Five Classics of my Great Jing Immortal Kingdom, and I have such a vision when I put pen to paper, and this palace also admires it, but if it is just like this, I am afraid that today, sir, you will lose!"
Qin Changsheng said unhurriedly.
