Xiao Chumo warned Ju Ziyu that if he failed in the palace test, he would voluntarily give up the glory of the champion of martial arts, and looked at him with a smile, everyone thought that Ju Ziyu would give up decisively, after all, among hundreds of candidates with outstanding martial arts, Ju Ziyu was able to break through many difficulties and obstacles, and won the excellent results of the champion of martial arts, which was really not easy, if he was a stranger, how could he be willing to give up?

But unexpectedly, Ju Ziyu did not choose to give up because of Xiao Chumo's warning, he made a decisive decision almost without thinking, raised his eyebrows, and replied confidently: "A word is a certainty!" ”

The "gambling contract" between the two was accompanied by Ju Ziyu's answer, which took effect immediately, because there were many onlookers around him, even if the palace test really failed, if Ju Ziyu reversed his word, he would never have a chance, everyone was just disappointed in his hasty decision, but Xiao Chumo didn't think so, the thoughts in his heart have always been known to few people, and now it is even more so, he got up, walked to Ju Ziyu, and said thoughtfully: "I hope that the old lady Ju has a spirit in the sky, and I learned that as the eldest grandson, you made this kind of decision, Will be proud of you. ”

Hearing Xiao Chumo mention Ju Xuecheng, Ju Ziyu immediately frowned, this topic seems to have always been the biggest taboo in his heart, and he has never allowed people around him to mention it for many years, but this time in the face of Xiao Chumo's sneer, he clenched his fists and said stubbornly: "Even if grandpa is still alive, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do, and tomorrow is the palace test, how can the prince conclude that I will definitely fail, instead of successfully creating a precedent, and at the same time winning the champion of both civil and military disciplines?" ”

Seeing the imperative in Ju Ziyu's eyes, Xiao Chumo smiled and did not speak, but turned around and left in front of everyone, but even so, Xiao Chumo's bet with Ju Ziyu quickly spread throughout the palace!

Yu Panxi opened up the subordinates and patiently taught Xuanli to face the palace test tomorrow in front of everyone's eyes, and Ah Ye was also carefully accompanied by him, but even so, Xuanli was still afraid, she bit her lip, looked like she was about to cry, and said aggrievedly:

"I've only read a few ancient books in Lingcun, and it's all because of my father's compulsion, and there are few of them that I have memorized the passages in my heart, and tomorrow I will face three talented people who have made chapters out of the chapter, what are you kidding?"

"You don't have to be afraid, tomorrow you just have to answer the question, how can you finally answer? It's about the three palace exam candidates, you just need to sit on the dragon chair and listen to it with a blank face. Yu Panxi comforted.

But at this juncture, any form of comfort is of no help to Xuan Li, she kept stamping her feet anxiously, and continued: "I'm afraid I really can't do it, sister, can't I lie that I'm unwell tomorrow and hide in the dormitory and not come out?" Anyway, now that Prince Xiao has returned safely, wouldn't it be logical for him to handle the government instead? ”

In fact, Xuan Li's suggestion is not wrong, Yu Panxi did plan to wait for Xiao Chumo to return, and then let him replace the real Dou Ding to deal with the government, but at present, the matter of the imperial examination is done by Xiao Chumo himself, I am afraid that he will not have time to take care of other things for the time being, and in desperation, she can only discuss Xuan Li to pretend to be Dou Ding for a while.

Looking at Xuan Li, who was about to cry, Ah Ye felt distressed, he frowned, stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, although hugging Douding's body made him a little uncomfortable, but he comforted softly for the first time: "Tomorrow I will pretend to be Xiaolinzi to accompany you, you don't have to be afraid, everything has me." ”

Ah Ye's hug flattered Xuanli, you know, before leaving Kyoto, he tried his best to avoid her, and turned a blind eye to her overtures, but now he hugs gently, softly cares, all this seems to Xuanli as if she is in a dream, if this is the case, she would rather never wake up!

At this moment, Yu Panxi knew that if she was still here, it seemed a little redundant, Xuanli's worries had been reduced a lot under Ah Ye's comfort, she smiled, and quietly left the dormitory, and as soon as she went out, she bumped into Xiao Chumo who was striding towards a meteor.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Yu Panxi outside the hall, Xiao Chumo was puzzled.

"What do you say?" Yu Panxi smiled mysteriously.

Looking at her eyes, Xiao Chumo immediately understood something, he frowned, sighed and said: "Anyway, the purpose of your coming is to persuade Miss Xuanli to support for a few more days, since someone is willing to complete this task for you, saving you the effort you have to expend, this is naturally better." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked to the garden, Yu Panxi saw Xiao Chumo with a thoughtful look, and asked: "Do you really think that Ju Ziyu will set a precedent and become the champion of both civil and military disciplines that has never been seen in the world of Ning Guo?" ”

"Have I ever said anything like that?" Xiao Chumo asked with an indifferent smile.

Although he deliberately pretended to be stupid, Yu Panxi, who knew everything about his every move, did not think so, she continued: "If you really don't have confidence in him, you won't make that kind of bet with him when everyone is against him to participate in the temple examination, saying that it is a threat, but in fact you want to help him go to the palace examination wish, right?" ”

Listening to Yu Panxi's delicate analysis, Xiao Chumo finally laughed, he reached out and stroked her soft cheeks, and muttered: "The one who knows me is none other than Panxi You, yes, the reason why I did that is indeed the same purpose as your analysis." ”

It's just that he skillfully took advantage of everyone's opposition and took the opportunity to agree to Ju Ziyu's request, although the consequences of doing so may offend the officials who are aware of it later, but Xiao Chumo doesn't care about this kind of thing at all.

"The reason why you helped him is because of the face of his grandfather?" Yu Panxi continued to ask.

"Half yes, half not." Xiao Chumo sat on the stone bench, played with the teacup in his hand, and said with an indifferent smile: "That Juzi Yu is both civil and military, calm and wise in trouble, and is indeed a rare talent, but in the face of the opposition of the officials just now, he is not afraid of danger, and he refuses to bow his head easily, it is indeed very similar to the old lady of the year, if he can really achieve good results in the palace examination, glorify the ancestors, this is not a good thing." ”

Because of the relationship between Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Ju back then, according to common sense, Xiao Chumo did do what he could to help Ju Ziyu, but after today's contact, Xiao Chumo found that Ju Ziyu was stubborn in his bones, if he came forward to help directly, presumably Ju Ziyu would not accept it, so he came up with this way of gambling.

First, Xiao Chumo's move can temporarily eliminate the attacks of other officials on Ju Ziyu, and second, under the huge pressure of betting on giving up the title of champion, it will create a stronger belief in Ju Ziyu, urging him to perform well in tomorrow's palace examination, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, looking at Xiao Chumo who bothered to pave the way for Ju Ziyu, Yu Panxi smiled:

"It seems that you have high expectations for him, in that case, how about you personally enjoy Ju Ziyu's wonderful performance in the palace tomorrow?"
