Qiu Shi looked back, it was Xie Ling who appeared at the scene of the assessment at some point, on a huge painting boat, several central officials looked at Xie Ling curiously, which was even more like the gaze of Yuan Hao, the king of Beihai, behind the king of Beihai, there was a green shadow wearing a hat also walked slowly, followed closely, as if he said something in Yuan Hao's ear, Yuan Hao's expression changed, and his eyes at Xie Ling were even more surprised and shocked.

"Isn't there still a debate? It's chess, and I can also play against you for the first championship this time. ”

Xie Ling looked at Cai Zhongshu Cai Zhu, who was speaking at the right time, and replied, and then glanced at Zhu Yi, who was faintly proud, and then faced the prince Xiao Tong and the other central officials, Shi Li said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, all the envoys, Ling Shicai was attacked by a group of black-clothed people and was besieged on a hill on the west bank of the Qinhuai River. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, everyone on the field was in an uproar, and Qiu Shi exclaimed in horror: "What did you say? Lang Jun, someone attacked Lang Jun just now, who was it? Why? ”

Xie Xi also showed a shocked and worried expression.

The crown prince Xiao Tong was so shocked that he almost stood up.

"What else? Didn't you just want to prevent Xie Jialangjun from participating in this assessment? ”

Suddenly, another voice came, accompanied by a sound of neat and vigorous footsteps, and everyone saw that it was Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, and Murong Liancheng walking towards the painting boat together.

And almost as soon as the two of them came into everyone's sight, there were bursts of cheers from the sisters-in-law on the bank of the Qinhuai River:

"Look, it's Su Liancheng, he really came, he also came, oh my God, if we could see each other every day, even if we looked at it from afar, how beautiful it would be!"

"But a prostitute deserves your joy!" Zhu Huiying muttered in a low voice, but her eyes were staring at Xiao Tong who was sitting at the top, "No matter how beautiful a person is, where is there a noble prince." ”

"Zhu Huiying, you don't feel ashamed to blush when you say such things, your Zhu family has a poisonous woman like the Zhu family who mutilates her stepson and stepdaughter, don't you still want to marry His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Zhu Huiying's face suddenly turned red, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet and said, "You, what nonsense are you talking about, if you want to marry His Royal Highness the Prince, then only Sister Cai can match!" ”

"Sister Cai? Is it Cai Ruoyin? Could it be that you deliberately designed Xie Hanyun for Cai Ruoyin? ”

Cai Ruoyin, who was walking on the side, suddenly stopped, and her face was so cloudy that it could rain down.

Her father, Cai Zhongshu and Cai Bottle, was also one of the examiners of this Zhongzheng assessment, and when she heard the discussion of these sisters-in-law, even Cai Bottle's face turned red, and she couldn't raise her head in embarrassment.

And the person who asked Xie Ling for that sentence was him, Cai Zhongshu, Cai Zhu.

At this time, Xie Ling handed the silk silk handed to her by the little girl from his sleeve to the crown prince Xiao Tong at the top, and said: "This is the silk note that someone led me to the hill just now, please look at His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Xiao Tong nodded, and then asked Chen Qingzhi to hand over the silk silk in Xie Ling's hand.

Xiao Tong opened it and looked at it, and his eyes also showed surprise, because the handwriting on it was clearly the Wei tablet that Xie Ling had shown him, that is, the murderer who had killed the teacher was still waiting for an opportunity to spy behind his back, and he also intended to kill Xie Ling.

"Where is this man now?" Xiao Tong couldn't help asking, "Also, you're not injured, are you?" ”

Xie Ling shook his head and replied: "It was only when His Royal Highness King Wuling asked for it, and Ling was fortunate to escape the pursuit of those people, but that person let him escape." ”

"And who is this man? Do you see clearly? Xiao Tong asked again.

Xie Ling did not answer.

At this time, Shen Yue said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, since he is here to participate in the Zhongzheng assessment, it is better to let him talk about this matter after the assessment!" ”

When Xiao Tong heard this, he realized that he was too concerned just now, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, thank you for the reminder." Xuan even looked at Xie Ling and said, "Please!" Then he instructed one of the clerks present, "Please give him pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”

The clerk answered: "Yes! ”

was about to take the pen to Xie Ling, but he heard Zhu Yi say: "Wait! His Royal Highness the Prince, no matter what happened to Xie Ling today, it is a fact that he was late in the assessment, is it unfair that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince allowed him to participate in the assessment as usual regardless of everyone's opinions? ”

Xiao Tong's face changed slightly, and he looked at Zhu Yi: "Then according to Zhu Zhongzheng's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"If it was in the past, no matter who it was, if the assessment was late, he would have to cancel his qualification for this assessment......" Zhu Yi said this, seeing Xiao Tong frowning slightly, and said, "However, didn't he just say that he wanted to compare it with the first championship of this chess assessment?" He was so confident that he could win his first title, he could have made an exception, but ......"

"Just what?" Xiao Tong asked again.

"It's just that there will be rewards and punishments, since the prince made an exception to let him participate in the assessment, if he loses, he should also be punished, so that the scholars can be convinced." After that, Zhu Yi looked around again and looked at the students present, "Ladies and gentlemen, did you say that?" ”

"What Zhu Caolang said is not unreasonable."

"I don't care, if Xie Ling really has real talent and learning, I will be convinced, not to mention that he is indeed besieged by someone design, and it is understandable that he is late, and I can't blame him."

“……”

There was a lot of discussion in the examination room for a while, Xiao Tong also frowned, at this time, Shen Yue said: "Yes, there must be rewards and punishments, even if Xie Ling is allowed to participate in this assessment, it will be fair, then let him play against the first champion of this chess road, if he wins, the assessment continues, if he loses, he will withdraw from the examination room, and he will not be able to participate in the assessment for three years, what does Zhu Caolang think?" ”

"Teacher, this kind of punishment is too much." Xiao Tong couldn't help but whisper.

Shen Yue said: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, if Xie Ling really has his talent, why not be afraid of a chess game, don't you say?" ”

After that, he looked at Chen Shuo again and asked, "Would you like to have a competition with this Xie Jialang Jun Xie Ling?" ”

Chen Shuo frowned slightly, lowered his head and replied: "Everything is arranged by the examiner, and Shuo has no objections!" ”

Shen Yue nodded, looked at Xie Ling again, and asked, "Xie Ling, are you willing to accept this challenge?" If you accept, your bet is three years, if not, you will not participate in the assessment at most, can you? ”

Xie Ling didn't hesitate, Shi Li said: "Fix what I want!" ”

Chen Shuo's expression couldn't help but change, and he met Xie Ling's gaze in great surprise, for some reason, in the face of such a gaze, Chen Shuo's heart felt a slight sorrow, as if he had been strangled by a knife.

"Chen Langjun, let's start then!" Xie Ling said.
