[Chapter 421: The Challenger]

What is the ambulance, of course, no one understands, but everyone still woke up like a dream, and rushed out one after another, announcing that Li Chun was victorious, and rescuing Jiang Shanwu and rescuing Jiang Shanwu.

After all, no matter what, Jiang Shanwu is still an example, and in the palace examination, he rarely loses his life.

It seems that at this time, Jiang Shan Wu realized his failure, his face was pale, his expression was strange, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he still shut up and didn't say anything.

He still didn't react too violently.

"I still don't get it. ”

The prince was confused, "It seems that I will only ask Li Chun after a while, this kid is too weird to see through at all." ”

Xiao Hou nodded in agreement.

"I don't want to be an enemy of this kid now. ”

Yan Yiyi nodded seriously, "He may have the power to manipulate ghosts and gods." ”

During the ring match, he actually opened his mind and let people stab a sword, which is difficult to explain other than Jiang Shan Wu being fascinated by ghosts.

Linghu Tao finally couldn't help but glance at her.

"Embarking on the path of a cultivator, why fear ghosts and gods? This kid must have something we don't understand. ”

He frowned, "Jiang Shanwu's situation is also very strange, I think it is precisely because of his eccentricity that Li Chun was given a chance." ”

"Anyway, Li Chun is now the champion. ”

Yan Yiyi sighed one by one, "We still didn't stop him after all." ”

The prime minister's idea is best to get rid of Li Chun in the test, so that when the prince goes to Jiangnan in the future, there will be no god general with him.

It's a pity that it failed.

The second thing to retreat from is to prevent Li Chun from getting the champion position, you must know that Li Chun is now hot, if he gets the champion again. The prestige among the people will even exceed that of the prince, and when the time comes, not only will he not be able to deal with the prince, but he will also have to deal with this Li Chun.

I didn't expect Li Chun to be so brave that he was able to defeat Jiang Shanwu strangely and win the position of champion......

"No ......"

Ling Hu Tao shook his head and sighed. "You forgot, I prepared the final hole cards, I thought I could do without, but I didn't expect to reveal them. ”

He was a little distracted.

Hole cards are always the most useful before they are revealed.

In the past 20 years as the prime minister, he has buried a lot of hole cards in many places, all for future use, but in order to deal with the prince and Li Chun, he had to turn them over one by one. It hurt his heart.

But there is no way around it.

The power struggle is brutal.

If he hides these cards, he may never use them again.

"Okay, Li Qing, you are already the leader among the thirty-three jinshi, if no one challenges you, you will be the champion of this department!"

The prince was in a good mood, although he was still confused. But he knew that there would always be an answer to ask Li Chun, so he was not in a hurry.

"Father. Which Jinshi do you want to choose to challenge for the top prize?"

The representatives of the royal family, the prime minister and the county king are qualified to recommend Jinshi to challenge the champion, but the prince will definitely not find someone to challenge Li Chun, and although the county kings of the nine counties in the world have sent representatives to the temple to test, none of them can call the shots, so they will not choose the candidates to challenge.

The only one left. There is only the prime minister.

However, in the prince's mind, after Li Chun defeated Jiang Shanwu, he had already proved his invincible strength among this group of jinshi, and the prime minister should not do it again.

"The old minister is willing to recommend someone!"

It's a pity that it backfired, and the prime minister made Hu Tao speak indifferently. It is still necessary to choose the right to challenge.

As soon as this remark came out, it caused another uproar.

"Who else can challenge Li Chun?"

"Jiangshan Wu has been defeated, and there are still people who are Li Chun's opponents?"

"Gold not exchanged?"

"Jin is not exchanged for the top three, and the convention is not to give challenges...... Of course, the prime minister wants to choose him, and it makes sense, but Jin Bu lost to Jiang Shanwu with one move, and his spirit has been frustrated, where is Li Chun's opponent?"

The prince frowned, he didn't expect that this father was really determined to go against him, and he refused to stop at this point.

But it is the prime minister's right to promote challenges, and he can't say anything, so he can only cough lightly.

"I don't know which Jinshi the prime minister recommended to challenge the champion?"

Anyway, no matter who it is, it can't be Li Chun's opponent, and the big deal is to delay the celebration and the time to ask for answers.

"The old minister recommended Murong Lian, the Jinshi of Jiangnan County, this person has excellent swordsmanship, and he still has unfinished strength, so he can challenge the champion. ”

"Murong Lian?"

Hearing the prime minister's mouth spit out unfamiliar names, the crown prince frowned again.

"It's the one who lost to Jiang Shan Satoru in the third round. ”

Xiao Hou reminded softly.

"Is that him?"

The prince remembered, at that time he still felt that this person had no fighting spirit, and he admitted defeat after two false moves, but now it seems that this person is the prime minister's last move!

"Oh, since this Murong Lian is Jiang Shanwu's defeated general, and Jiangshan Wu lost to Li Chun, what ability does he have to fight for this champion position?"

The prince asked, deliberately just wanting to make the prime minister look ugly, after all, the people selected to challenge must have been defeated before.

The officials were silent, knowing that at this time, the prince was competing with the prime minister, so it was better not to get into the whirlpool.

Li Chun looked at Murong Lian not far away curiously.

This person is dressed in a green shirt, with a long figure and a dignified appearance, about thirty years old, with a sword at his waist and a crown on his head.

He looked at his nose and nose, and his face was expressionless, as if the prime minister's recommendation of him had nothing to do with him.

"Murong Lian's swordsmanship has not been fully exerted, and Jiang Shan Wu's defeat just now is also strange. ”

The prime minister is not polite when he speaks, since you said so, the prince, then he will also hide a needle in the counterattack, although he did not directly accuse Li Chun of cheating, but there is obviously such a hint.

After all, it was so strange that Jiang Shanwu was nailed to the ground with a sword, and until now, even Ling Hutao himself didn't figure out what the reason was.

The prince's eyelids jumped slightly, and he clenched his fists with anger, knowing that it was not interesting to compete with the prime minister for the benefit of his tongue, so he nodded immediately.

"Murong Lian!"

"The minister is here!"

Hearing the crown prince's call, Murong Lian took a step forward, still maintaining a calm demeanor and saluting respectfully.

"The prime minister nominated you as the champion candidate, as long as you win Li Chun, you will have the opportunity to become the champion of this palace examination, are you willing?"

In fact, this kind of problem is all going through the motions, is there still someone who is not willing to do it?

The prince planned to wait for Murong Lian to nod, so he quickly asked him to fight Li Chun, and ended this matter as soon as possible.

Murong Lian raised his head and looked at Li Chun, and actually sighed.

"Minister...... I didn't want to......"

"Then ...... Huh?"

The crown prince almost bit off his tongue, he looked at Murong Lian in disbelief, and then at the prime minister.

- Ling Hutao also looked helpless, he had to use this kind of lazy guy.

"Just ...... now"

Murong Lian glanced at Li Chun again, "I'm a little interested." (To be continued......)
