Chapter 483: Sweating

Next, Qiu Qitong shuffled the order with everyone, announced the names of the top three authors in the third-grade poetry group, and then began to read their award-winning poems.

After reciting, he repeated his old trick and threw the first shuttlecock of this group of guesses in the direction where Prince Qiu was.

However, this time, whether it was Prince Kun, Prince Xuan, or Xiao Jinjia, they couldn't stand his obvious cheating behavior.

At the same time, they had already arranged a secret guard, waiting directly below the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

The first shuttlecock was thrown out of the window by Qiu Qitong, and it was snatched in the hands of one of the secret guards with quick eyes and fast hands.

Moreover, after the secret guard grabbed the shuttlecock, in order to avoid being snatched away by a large number of secret guards rushing over beside him, he directly volleyed into the air and flew to the windowsill of Qiu Qitong's window on the second floor of the Yanyu Pavilion!

That's pretty impressive.

The secret guards who were originally trying to snatch the shuttlecock in his hand were dumbfounded and did not chase after the window to grab it.

After all, there were three old gentlemen, Zheng Yuan and Nie Zhengrong, as well as Chen Sujin, Qiu Qi and others standing in the window.

If they chased to the window to grab it, the secret guard who grabbed the shuttlecock would definitely hide in these crowds.

When the time comes, if they accidentally bump into these people, their masters will definitely be responsible, and it is not appropriate.

But there was a figure, without waiting for the secret guard to stand firm at the window, suddenly shot at the secret guard, stretched out his fingers to restrain his key point, and then, snatched the shuttlecock in his hand, and quickly threw it at Prince Qiu.

Prince Qiu was prepared, and immediately jumped up and caught the shuttlecock.

Everyone around couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Including Xiao Qiongzhi, they were all taken aback.

Because, the figure who shot at the secret guard who grabbed the shuttlecock was none other than Mr. Xu Shizhong!

is also because, no one thought that Mr. Xu Shizhong would actually know martial arts, and he is also a master of martial arts, and he can control people's key points in an instant.

"Dean Qiu, Mr. Xu is the judge of the poetry competition, not an onlooker like me, and he should not be qualified to participate in the quiz and the shuttlecock competition."

"Tell me, is his act of snatching the shuttlecock from my secret guard and throwing it to Prince Qiu just now, is it cheating?" Xiao Jinjia was the first to come back to his senses and asked Qiu Qitong loudly, with a look of indignation.

That secret guard was given to him by Xiao Zhengzhen, and he was the fastest secret guard among his ten secret guards, but in terms of other kung fu, it was not very prominent.

And after that secret guard grabbed the shuttlecock, he fled to the windowsill of the Yanyu Pavilion, which was discussed in advance according to the characteristics of his secret guard.

He mainly expected that if this was not the case, Prince Xuan, Prince Kun, Prince Qiu's secret guards, and the three of them themselves, it was very likely that they would come to snatch the shuttlecock in the hands of his secret guards and succeed.

Now it's okay, he thought that his plan was foolproof, but as a result, Old Mr. Nie suddenly made a move and calculated his secret guard!

He was really unconvinced.

"Ahem, ahem, this ...... This ......" Qiu Qitong smiled awkwardly, a little worried.

He respects Mr. Xu Shizhong very much in his heart.

Because, Xu Shizhong is a good friend of his father, and he has not participated in any academy competitions for at least ten years.

This time, I came here to see his father and his face.

Including Mr. Nie Zhengrong, although he is friends with him, Xu Shizhong also invited him for him, otherwise, with Nie Zhengrong's low-key personality, he would not be able to invite him at all with his face.

Now, what Mr. Xu has done is very unkind.

If it was a certain gentleman from Linfeng Academy or Zhilan Academy, he would definitely approve it without hesitation, and then ask Prince Qiu to return the shuttlecock to Xiao Jinjia.

But when facing Mr. Xu, he had to think about it more.

"Which one is this? Dean Qiu, look at what kind of judges you have invited, don't you know that Mr. Xu Shizhong is the cousin grandfather of my cousin Liang Qiu, and Mr. Nie Zhengrong is the grandfather of my cousin Liang Qiu? ”

"Didn't you deliberately let them be the judges of the poetry competition, just so that they could release water to my cousin so that my cousin could win the prize of the poetry competition?"

"Well, now they have to make inches, not only let my cousin win the second place in the second-grade group of ancient style, quatrain, and rhyme poetry competitions, but also help my cousin grab the shuttlecock for the competition!"

"Don't you want to be so biased!" When Prince Kun heard this, he suddenly said loudly to Qiu Qitong.

"What? It turns out that Mr. Nie is Prince Qiu's maternal grandfather, and Mr. Xu is Prince Qiu's cousin's maternal grandfather? What does this look like? I remember that when the Great Xiao was held every three years, the examiners would choose examiners who had no relatives to refer to. ”

"Dean Qiu, you deliberately selected Mr. Nie and Mr. Xu to be the judges of the poetry contest this time, and you are indeed suspected of releasing water for Prince Qiu, and we oppose your practice!" When Yu Qiushuang heard this, she immediately echoed Prince Kun's words loudly.

"That's it! Prince Qiu won the second place in the second-grade group of ancient style, quatrain, and legal poetry competitions at the same time, which is also too coincidental. ”

"I listened to the three poems of Prince Qiu, each of which has no spirituality, it is all reasonable, as if it was written, not only is it far less than Princess Zhong Ling's poems, but at the same time, it is far from being as good as the poems of the third place!"

"I was wondering in my heart at the time, whether the old gentleman who commented on poetry this time was famous, but in fact, it was difficult to attach, and he couldn't read poetry at all!" A girl from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy next to Yu Qiushuang followed closely to answer.

"Dean Qiu, you can't open the back door like this, the dean of our Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy, he is just a cousin of the same grade as me, and in our martial arts competition last year, he deliberately did not participate in the judging team."

"What about you, you actually specially invited two relatives of your academy students to be one and two of the three judges!"

"No wonder I just heard you read the names of the top three award-winning poems in each group of ancient style, quatrains, and rhythmic poems, which are basically men's names!"

"You are simply trying to let the male students of your Linfeng Academy suppress the female students of Zhilan Academy in the poetry contest this time, and you are deliberately taking advantage of the loopholes of other people's Zhilan Academy, right?" Not far away, the male student of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy, who had grabbed the shuttlecock several times ahead of Yu Qiushuang, suddenly followed closely.

"Guys, you're mistaken. Before today, I didn't know that Mr. Nie and Mr. Xu were both relatives of Liang Qiu. When Qiu Qitong heard this, he hurriedly stiffened his head and said loudly.

It was already late autumn weather, and his forehead, at this time, was already sweating because of everyone's gossip, and he didn't dare to admit that he had already known that Mr. Nie and Mr. Xu were relatives of Prince Qiu.
