The choice of the little master

The next day, the lower bracket competed, and only two were able to move on. m.

I thought it was a fierce battle for the quota, but what everyone didn't expect was that there was no real battle the next day.

The loser group drew lots, Sima Yanqing and He Chen drew together, and Wang Sihe collided with the loser of yesterday's "Ding" group.

With an order to the three worshippers, Sima Yanqing, who was wearing a crowned hat, walked to the center of the venue.

He frowned and glanced around, but did not find He Chen's figure.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Sima Yanqing's eyes, but he still arched his hand towards the three worshippers and said: "The three worship adults, the student's opponent has not appeared, if he is in poor health, he can make an appointment to fight again another day; Therefore, the student implores the student to directly judge the victory and let him remember it for a long time!"

Wu Dao looked at the scorching sun in the sky, looked at the dozens of people watching the battle around him, frowned, and there was still a trace of annoyance in his heart.

He thinks that there is nothing wrong with what Sima Yanqing said, if there is a physical complaint or other situations, he can naturally raise objections, and they will report it again, but they will not appear directly, which is to despise the martial arts examination and despise them.

Even the few spectators on the field felt that Sima Yanqing's suggestion was reasonable, after all, they had been staring at the scorching sun for a quarter of an hour, let alone Sima Yanqing, who was waiting for his opponent like a fool.

Wu Dao nodded, and was about to open his mouth to announce, only to see a small guy rushing over, he was holding a token, which was the token for all the little gentlemen to enter the venue, and only with this token in hand could he pass through the defense line arranged around the military department safely.

The little guy broke in ignorantly, first bowed to the three worshippers, and then said to Sima Yanqing: "Mr. Sima, my little gentleman was seriously injured, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity, so he sent the villain to ask you to wait a while, but I didn't expect the villain to be attacked as soon as he left Chang'an City, it was too late, and I hope the three worshippers and Mr. Sima will understand." ”

Sima Yanqing looked at this little guy covered in scars, nodded and asked, "I don't know who attacked Brother He?"

The little guy shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Then you have a grudge against people in Chang'an?"

The little guy still shook his head.

Sima Yanqing glanced at Jiang Jingyan, who was watching the battle, his expression was a little complicated, and he closed his mouth.

He turned to the three worshippers and said, "The situation has changed, and the student begs the enshrined lord to give him a chance." ”

Wu Dao's face was a little unsightly, he said that he was the one who wanted to win, and he was the one who said he was going to wait, and everyone let him be, so what about these offerings!

But he didn't have any choice, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Accurate!"

As soon as the word "quasi!" fell, I saw a young man in ragged clothes and covered in blood appear at the door.

"I've arrived, gentlemen...... Long waiting!"

He Chen limped forward, he took a few steps forward, leaving a bloody path behind him.

Jiang Jingyan on the spectator seat had a smile on his face and looked gloating.

Sima Yanqing looked at him, shook his head and said, "You are like this, why bother to come again?"

He Chen's face was full of blood, and he smiled with a smile, his white teeth made people feel a little sad.

"Since we said that there will be a war, then we can't break our promise, my master told me. 'A gentleman should be a great gold!'"

Sima Yanqing looked at him, took a deep breath, and looked at Jiang Jingyan again.

Jiang Jingyan also met his gaze without fear and smiled at him defiantly.

Sima Yanqing whispered to He Chen: "Brother He, you have to be careful of Jiang Jingyan, he has a small belly and chicken intestines, and flaws will be reported." ”

A smile appeared on He Chen's face, and before he wanted to speak, he coughed violently.

"Jiang Jingyan came to me last night, and he gave me a good price, so you can't get out of here completely. ”

He Chen didn't have any strange or surprised expression when he heard this.

"There's something wrong with his state of mind, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

He Chen said lightly, and the two communicated like old friends.

"Can we start?" asked in a deep voice, looking at the somewhat commotion in the auditorium and at the two people talking below.

Sima Yanqing turned around and said to Wu Daolang: "According to yesterday's opinion, I am not Brother He's opponent in Xia, and I am not a person who likes to take advantage of others, so in this round, I abstain!"

As soon as these words came out, He Chen was stunned. And Jiang Jingyan, who was watching the battle, stood up suddenly, his fists clenched together, and his voice was low: "Sima Yanqing!

Wu Dao was stunned, he really didn't know what this group of little gentlemen was doing, if his own disciples were like this, he would have been slapped a long time ago.

It's just that this is someone else's disciple, and he can't afford to mess with it.

He could only snort coldly and said, "Sima Yanqing abstained, He Chen won!"

The second game was even simpler, Wang Sihe's opponent showed his weapon and fell into the artistic conception of the horizontal flute.

The result is clear at a glance, Wang Sihe won.

Today's battle was boring, and in a burst of complaints, the first stage of the knockout round ended.

The ragged boy stood at the exit and looked at the man in the green shirt and crowned hat.

Jiang Jingyan came out first, he walked in front of He Chen, and his voice could only be heard by him: "The next time we meet, it is estimated that it will be on your death day!"

After he finished speaking, he smiled coldly and took the little scholar away.

Sima Yanqing saw He Chen from a distance and immediately ran over.

"Brother He, what's wrong?"

He Chen looked at Jiang Jingyan's back, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." After finishing speaking, he looked at Sima Yanqing with a complicated expression and said, "Why did Brother Sima abstain, not just because he couldn't get used to Jiang Jingyan, right?"

Sima Yanqing smiled mysteriously and said: "First, I really can't get used to Jiang Jingyan, he found me last night and gave me a lot of silver tickets; second, in fact, we all know that this literary examination is everywhere, I can't compete for Kong Dewei in this martial arts exam, I can't compete for that Chai Xintong, and even Wang Si and that transverse flute I can't break it, there is no difference between being out early and being out late, it is better to leave a good impression on the literary examination." ”

He Chen was stunned for a moment and looked at Sima Yanqing.

"Brother He, we are scholars after all, no matter how big our fists are, we are still scholars, what Confucius Temple is looking for is not a thug, but a person with good morality, Brother He doesn't have to care too much about winning or losing this martial arts exam. ”

He Chen looked at him and nodded heavily.

Xu Changan, Kong Dewei, Chai Xintong and Xue Pan walked out.

Chai Xintong looked at Sima Yanqing's back and thought about it, and finally lowered his head.

Kong Dewei sighed and said: "This Sima Yanqing is indeed a little strange, he seems to have no desire to win at all, he surrendered when he met me, and he also surrendered when he met the injured He Chen." ”

"Maybe people are in such a state of mind!" Xu Changan said.

Chai Xintong and Kong Dewei looked at each other, the two did not confirm or deny, smiled, and strode away.

......

Jin Wangfu.

The King of Jin in the python robe sat on the main seat, looking at the little gentleman in Tsing Yi who was drinking tea below, a little helpless.

After he came out of the Zhongyi Mansion, he "falsely" became the king of Jin again.

"What do you say you are guilty of, you have to come to torture me?"

The little master took a sip of tea and said, "What, I'm not welcome?"

Jin Wangfu shook his head and said: "Welcome, why not welcome, I just don't like the feeling of being watched all day long, as soon as you come, as soon as I go out, I can feel the group of guys from Yushitai (Regulatory Agency) behind me, very uncomfortable." ”

"Shall I go, then?" said the little master with a smile.

"Forget it, it's all like this, they'll still be staring at me when you're gone. Then he sighed and said, "You fought with your brother-in-law and immortals, and I, a mortal, suffered, is it so difficult to make friends?"

The little master smiled slightly, but did not answer him.

"By the way, you haven't said how to get out? ”

The little master thought for a while, and then said: "Xu Changan, this bastard boy, make friends with some little monsters, I don't want to see them." ”

King Jin's brows furrowed, so he didn't break the casserole and asked to the end.

"By the way, why did you choose He Chen?" asked King Jin.

"This kid from the Jiang family is indeed not worthy of being your apprentice, but this Kong Dewei of the Kong family and that Chai Xintong are not bad!"

I don't know whose name I heard, the little master raised his eyebrows.

Eventually, he stood up, spread his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you everything." ”

"You just asked that, you should know that this Sima Yanqing is my person, right?"

King Jin nodded, he did know that this Sima Yanqing was the person sent by the little master, and he could even be said to be the chief examiner of the literary examination.

"This He Chen, the heart is upright, the academic research is also good, and he has a spirit in him, just like I did at the beginning. ”

King Jin thought of the little master's death-faced begging for his master, and immediately asked with a smile: "Do you mean that shameless quality?"

The little master glanced at him, and he immediately changed his words: "Okay, it's persistence." ”

"But the boy of the Kong family and Chai Xintong shouldn't be bad, why don't you just give up the two of them. ”

The little master looked at King Jin's unyielding appearance, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "You have to see me accept two masters as disciples to be happy, right?"

King Jin was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubts.

The little master sat down and snorted coldly: "This boy of the Kong family should have been accepted by the old monster of the Kong family a long time ago, do you think I don't want the two of them? ”

King Jin smiled, seeing the embarrassment of the little master.

"What about Chai Xintong, he is not from a big family. ”

When the little master heard this name, he waved his hand and said: "Don't mention him, do you know, Xu Changan, this kid is friends with him, Xu Changan wants me to take Chai Xintong as an apprentice, and I want Chai Xintong to call him uncle." This boy, I left the Zhongyi Mansion, and he looked for me, but when he couldn't find me, he left a letter in my original room, and praised me about how good Chai Xintong was!"

The little master was a little indignant.

"Do you think I don't know how he is, his master is an old monster who can't be old anymore, a generation older than his master, and I have to call him uncle!"

"I really don't know, what is this heartless Xu Changan thinking!"

"Moreover, he came this time, it should be because the big gentleman in Tongzhou wants to enjoy his old age and sends him to take the big gentleman exam, but when he encounters this incident, I can't brush him down directly, what can I do?"

When King Jin heard this, he was slightly surprised, and he also understood why he chose this He Chen.

Excluding these two people, He Chen is indeed good.

King Jin thought about it and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Can't you open your mouth and shout 'Uncle Xiaoshi', so you ran out?"

The little master looked at him with a frown, and the King of Jin laughed loudly and stepped out.

"Where are you going?"

King Jin laughed and said: "I, since Jiang Ming's kid ran out, it has been very rare Xiao Chang'an, I'll go to Zhongyi Houfu to have a look, do you want to go?"

The little master knew that this was King Jin making fun of him, so he could only grit his teeth, and the word "roll" appeared between his mouth.

The little master, who has always been mysterious and serious in the eyes of everyone, can only be like this in front of King Jin.
