Chapter Seventy-Seven: Geng Yan Swells
Knowing the news that Lin Mo was directly promoted again, Xuan Yuan didn't care much, because ten of the remaining thirty-eight people were his people, but King Rong, who only had five left, was a little panicked.
Looking at Xu Qiuniang beside him, King Rong held the wine glass and said suspiciously: "Qiu Niang, you said that this Ling Chen did not appear, and he had two byes, is it Lin Ziyong's luck, or is he playing tricks behind his back?"
Xu Qiuniang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, maybe Lin Ziyong is behind the ghost, or maybe this person is too lucky." ”
Immediately, he comforted King Rong and said: "But you don't have to worry, Lord Wang, anyway, in the fourth round, Lin Mobi will undoubtedly lose, and luck will no longer work." ”
"What do you mean by that?" King Rong was puzzled.
Xu Qiuniang said with a smile: "After the third round, there will be twenty people left, and these twenty people will only see that they will face off again, and then they will have to rely on their true skills." ”
Nineteen people will be eliminated in the third round, plus Lin Mo, who has become a bye again in this round, there will be twenty people in the fourth round, and after the fourth round, ten people will stand out from the martial arts test and enter tomorrow's literary test.
"This king understands!" King Rong also understood.
Looking at the remaining thirty-eight people, and then at Lin Mo, who was sitting on the special examination platform for contestants with a relaxed face, some people were angry in their hearts, and that was the younger brother of the lord of the Chu State, Xiang Yuan.
"Damn, all the people of Benjun have been eliminated, they are all waste, waste!"
Looking at Lin Mo, who was talking to Geng Yan with a relaxed face, Xiang Yuan's eyes were quite gloomy at the moment, and he held the wine glass in his hand tightly, as if he was holding Lin Mo and wanted to pinch him to death.
Han Qianyue's realm was profound, so he naturally heard Xiang Yuan's low angry voice, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head, his face was full of helplessness and lamentation.
Under the watchful eye, the third round of the competition began, and the battle on the stage became more and more intense, Lin Mo did not count, the remaining thirty-eight people were all masters to a certain extent, at least they were all in the realm of swordsmen.
In the brocade shed of the Lin Mansion.
didn't pay attention to the battle on the test table, looked at Geng Yan who was dumbfounded from a distance, touched his head and laughed at Lin Mo, Bai Zhilan looked sideways at Baili Allure, and suddenly said: "Allure, do you believe it? If there is still a bye in the fourth round, the bye will still be our husband." ”
Yan Baiyu and the eldest grandson Yuyin quickly understood Bai Zhilan's words, but the simple-minded Baili Allure didn't understand: "Sister Zhilan, why? That's the lottery is based on their own luck, and the husband won't know in advance that the blank note is ......."
Baili Chengcheng wanted to say that Lin Mo didn't know where the blank note was, but the words stopped, and suddenly understood: "Could it be that the husband cheated?
Yan Baiyu pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at the little eunuch who was presiding over the competition, and said, "Allure, you pay attention to the little eunuch, do you think he is very familiar?"
"Then I'll take a look!" Baili Chengcheng looked at the little eunuch with a suspicious gaze, and was immediately startled, covered his mouth and snorted, and then controlled his voice and said: "Isn't that a guard in our house? Why did he become a eunuch?"
That's right, the little eunuch is one of the thirty-six guards of the Lin Mansion.
"Fake!" said the eldest grandson, who had never liked to talk, suddenly.
"Fake?" Baili looked at the eldest grandson in confusion.
The eldest grandson nodded his head and said, "This morning, I got up early, and I saw that my husband was explaining what to the guard before going to the morning court, and now I know that the guard was disguised as this little eunuch. ”
"Oh, I see. Baili relieved the doubts in his heart, no wonder his family's luck would be so good, but he suddenly remembered something, and then wondered: "That Ling Chen didn't do it, and it was also done by the husband?"
"That's nature!" Bai Zhilan took over the words and said, "Allure, have you forgotten that our husband went to Shihua Street yesterday afternoon?
Now, the city finally understands everything.
How to ensure the blank note that Lin Mo obtained? It was very simple, only the guards of the Lin Mansion disguised as the little eunuch of the ceremonies hid the blank note, and then handed it to Lin Mo when Lin Mo stepped forward to extract it.
And dozens of notes were put in wooden plates, and one was missing, and no one would find out.
Time slowly passed again for more than half an hour, and the third round of the competition was able to end, although it took eighteen rounds, but because the rest were all good players, it took some time.
Geng Yan also won this round, but the victory was very dangerous, and there was only one move left, because his opponent in this round, Hu Shanye, was a cultivator who had already stepped into the realm of a great swordsman with half a foot.
But in order to maintain chic, after Geng Yan won, he turned around and jumped off the game again in a dashing manner, and immediately won the cheers of many girls.
Looking at the girls who shouted loudly, Lin Mo couldn't help but think of the crazy scene of those girls chasing the star when he was in Huaxia, and he suddenly felt speechless in his heart.
When Geng Yan returned to the contestant-only viewing platform and sat down, Lin Mo retracted his speechless mind and congratulated him with a relaxed face: "Geng Gongzi is really outstanding, and he defeated the opponent so easily in this round. ”
Although Geng Yan thought so in his heart, he pretended to be relaxed and happy on his face, and said with a fake look: "Where is it, it's not that this son is too strong, but that the opponent is too weak!"
"Oh, I see!" Lin Mo looked like he understood, and immediately praised him: "Then it seems that at this recruitment conference, Gongzi Geng is the person who is most likely to become Princess Rena's future husband!"
Being praised by Lin Mo like this, Geng Yan instantly forgot about Fang Cai's narrow victory, and said with too much confidence: "That's natural, except for this son, who else has the qualifications to marry the first beauty in the Western Regions!"
The whole person fluttered again.
"That's natural, only Geng Gongzi is the best among people!"
At the end of the third round, under the auspices of the eunuch Na Sili, the draw for the fourth round began immediately, and soon the results came out, Geng Yan's opponent in this round came out, named Jian Chen.
Geng Yan was a little disappointed, thinking that he could teach Lin Mo a lesson in the martial arts test according to the instructions of His Royal Highness King Rong, but after all, he didn't have this opportunity, so he was inevitably a little unwilling.
"Lord Shangqing, who is your opponent?"
After knowing the opponent, Geng Yan asked Lin Mo again as if he had formed a habit, thinking: Now there are a total of twenty people left, but there are no byes, Lin Mo, your luck is useless!
Under the praise of Lin Mo's humble gesture, this Geng Yan has been completely fluttering, and he knew humility before, and he respectfully called Lin Mo "you", and now he is called "you" with honorifics.
However, Lin Mo naturally didn't want to put it in his heart, and pretended to sigh and handed the note in his hand directly to Geng Yan: "Master Geng, look at it yourself, I don't know this person either." "Okay, this son will help Lord Shangqing take a look!" Geng Yan opened the note, only to see three beautiful characters written on the note: Shen Yuxiu.
Seeing these three words, Geng Yan's heart was suddenly overjoyed, he knew this person, forcibly suppressed the extreme joy surging in his heart, and said with a smile: "Lord Shangqing, your luck this time is quite bad!"
"Oh, Gongzi Geng, where do you start with this?" Lin Mo asked as he pretended to be full of doubts.
Geng Yan explained: "This Shen Yu Xiu is not simple, he is the first young genius in our imperial capital, the young owner of Saken Villa, and he has already stepped into the realm of the Great Swordsman when he is only twenty years old. ”
Before, Geng Yan was most afraid of meeting this Shen Yuxiu, but now he didn't expect to be met by Lin Mo in the fourth round, Geng Yan's heart was happy, but because of Lin Mo's identity, he still couldn't help laughing
Sensing that Geng Yan seemed to have a surge of joy, Lin Mo hurriedly asked while the iron was hot: "Then Geng Gongzi, what is the realm of this Shen Yuxiu now?"
Geng Yan paused for a moment and guessed: "Now that Shen Yuxiu is twenty-three years old, I am afraid that he has already achieved the peak realm of the Great Swordsman, Lord Shangqing, your hope of winning this time is slim!"
Lin Mo frowned, as if he was thinking about a strategy against Shen Yuxiu.
Seeing Lin Mo like this, Geng Yan did not shy away from saying bluntly: "Lord Shangqing, you don't have to think so much, you just go up and abstain directly, no one dares to say anything about you." ”
As he spoke, Geng Yan also patted Lin Mo's shoulder, just like a brother.
In front of Luanfeng Pavilion, King Rong in the brocade shed saw Geng Yan's "intimate" action of patting Lin Mo's shoulder, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, and immediately became angry: "What is Geng Yan's idiot doing?"
"I don't know, then I'll have to ask our doctor Geng. Xu Qiuniang shook her head:
King Rong turned to look at Geng Bai, one of the newly appointed doctors of the Criminal Department beside him, and asked, "Geng Bai, what is that son of yours doing? How dare you be so presumptuous and arrogant to Lin Ziyong, it is simply disrespectful!"
At first, King Rong saw Geng Yan and Lin Mo chatting happily, and he felt happy in his heart, after all, Geng Yan was going to take over Geng Bai's position in the future, and it was naturally very good to have a good relationship with Lin Mo.
But now, King Rong actually saw Geng Yan patting Lin Mo on the shoulder, this is calling Lin Mo a brother? This is a big disrespect, you must know that Lin Mo is one of the only two ministers in Daqian, what is your identity Geng Yan?
Even if you, Geng Yan, are now the doctor of the Criminal Department, and your father Geng is not qualified.
Geng Bai, who was in his fifties, had gray hair, sweated wildly in his heart, and stammered: "This... This...... This, His Royal Highness King Rong, the old minister doesn't know, Yan'er is self-denying and revenge on weekdays. ”
Looking at Geng Bai's trembling appearance, King Rong snorted coldly: "This king tells you Geng Bai, if nothing happens, this king will not be held accountable, if you offend Lin Ziyong, this king will not be able to protect you!"
Immediately, King Rong drank the wine from his cup and stopped talking.
Geng Bai looked at his son who was still patting Lin Mo on the shoulder, and then at Lin Mo with a smile on his face, his heartstrings couldn't help but tense violently, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.
However, Geng Yan, as the person concerned, did not have that consciousness at all, and was still immersed in the world of self-respect, talking and persuading as much as he could.
Geng Yan put his hand on Lin Mo's shoulder and persuaded: "Lord Shangqing, listen to the persuasion of this son, it is better to abstain directly, it is up to you, you can't beat Shen Yuxiu." ”
There was a hint of contempt in his words.
