"I'm afraid that the barbarians will be cheating and tricky, and they won't compete with us in culture. ”

"Probably not, since what they're proposing is cultural exchange, it can't be anything else. It won't be a martial arts competition, not a competition for immortals. ”

"As long as we don't test the immortal method, we have a chance. ”

The ministers talked one after another.

And the crown prince Ji Tianxing's face also showed joy: it seems that he has a chance to redeem a little loss for the Great Xia Empire. The soldiers of Great Xia at the border pass have just been defeated, and it is absolutely impossible to lose nothing and pay nothing.

Only by minimizing the losses will the father be satisfied. The ministers in the court will not feel that I am not effective in supervising the country.

He said to the barbarian envoy: "Since the talents of your country want to learn culture with the talents of Great Xia, then His Highness also readily agrees." I just don't know how to learn. ”

"It's simple. Gu Lihu said, "The first competition is a debate, the topics of the debate include astronomy and geography, poetry and etiquette, and one party is the loser if he can't answer." Isn't your Great Xia claimed to have a profound cultural heritage? This time, the genius of my barbarian race will try to see if your culture is really as powerful as you boast. ”

The ministers of the court nodded their heads one after another when they heard this. Although the immortal cultivators of Great Xia were not as good as the barbarians, there were many literati who read poetry and books. And astronomy, geography, poetry, books and rituals are all civilizations inherited by Bactria for 5,000 years. In this competition, Daxia has a great chance of winning.

"The debate contest was played by our genius Sima Junyan. Guli Fox finished speaking. A barbarian stood out from the queue of attendants.

It's him!?

When the crowd saw it, they were shocked. This person is not a barbarian, but a genuine Great Xia person. Formerly known as Wang Kui, he was knowledgeable and rich in five cars, and because he lived in Yuquan Mountain, he was known as a Yuquan resident. Twenty years ago, he participated in the scientific expedition and won the first place, and his skills were overwhelming.

The Emperor Taishang saw that his appearance was too ugly, and being the champion would make Great Xia lose his dignity, so he deprived him of the title of champion.

Wang Kui was angry, ran to the barbarians, and became the guest of the barbarian king, Wang Kui changed his name to Sima Junyan, assisted the barbarians in governing the country, and brought advanced ideas. Because of his deep hatred for Great Xia, he repeatedly provoked the barbarian king to invade Great Xia.

In the first few border attacks, he gave advice. This person even made a grand vow to destroy Great Xia in his lifetime. The people of Daxia hated him to the core, but they couldn't do anything about him.

This time, the barbarians let him appear, did they want the Great Xia people to deal with the Great Xia?

"This person's knowledge is too profound, I'm afraid that no one in Daxia is his opponent! He is talented, full of wealth, and is very good at the official system, etiquette, taxation and military burden. Mathematics, poetry, astronomy and geography, and Qimen astrology are all wonderful. When the barbarian king saw him, he said, "This man is a gift from heaven to my barbarians, and the barbarian prosperity is just around the corner." ”

"No one was his opponent back then, let alone now, if this person hadn't defected to the barbarians, I'm afraid he would have been a Great Xia national warrior long ago. ”

Seeing that it was Sima Junyan who appeared, the hearts of the ministers were half cold. And when the prince saw it, he also felt that the first competition in Daxia was estimated to lose.

"The second contest is a small question given to you by my barbarians. Guli Fox said, "As for what the topic is, you will naturally know when the official competition comes." ”

"The third competition is piano competition. Guli Fox said, "Your Daxia is a big country of ritual music, and it is known as music theory with a long heritage. It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a great sage in your Great Xia, and the music he played could attract the phoenix and the song, which was really the sound of heaven. And my barbarian tribe also has its own musical instruments, and it can also move the heavens and the earth when played, and this competition is to see whose music is more like heaven. ”

After listening to the music competition, the ministers thought to themselves: I also have a young genius pianist in Daxia, who is currently living in seclusion in the mountains near Zhongzhou, and can be invited to compete with the barbarians.

Da Xia's deepest understanding of music theory should be the palace master of the Allure Palace, if she can make a move, she will definitely be able to defeat the barbarians. It's a pity that the Allure Palace is a sect of cultivating immortals, and the identity of its palace master is too mysterious, and it is estimated that she will not be found in a short time.

"In the third competition, we can also agree. The prince said, "I don't know who your country will send to play in this third scene." ”

"The one who wants to test his piano skills with you Daxia musicians is the beautiful princess of our barbarians. Guli Fox pointed to the eleven or twelve-year-old barbarian girl beside him.

The girl was beautiful and unparalleled, and her face was like pink makeup. A pair of big black eyes, as clear as a puddle of clear water, not contaminated with a trace of cheesiness. Dressed in gorgeous barbarian costumes, with ten pigtails on his head, his face was immature, pure and immaculate like a piece of jade.

However, there is no aura fluctuation on his body, and he doesn't seem to be an immortal cultivator.

"She's Princess Hemei?"

The crowd was shocked.

"The barbarians let such an eleven or twelve-year-old girl try her piano skills with my Daxia musician, isn't it a little too much to look down on my Daxia?"

"That's not necessarily, since the barbarians dare to send her out, they must be completely sure. ”

"If our musicians in Daxia lose such a little girl, then my Daxia can be described as a real disgrace. ”

"It's not just a loss of face? It is estimated that it will become the laughing stock of the neighboring countries. And this joke is estimated to be passed down for thousands of years. ”

"So, in this last competition, I must not lose in Daxia!"

"If I lose this last game, then my Great Xia will be a real waste. In the future, when my Daxia people go to foreign countries, they will be laughed at by foreigners, and they will not be able to hold their heads up and be a man. What qualifications do citizens of a country that can't even deal with children have to be respected?"

"It is estimated that after those neighboring countries hear about this, they will also brazenly send troops to invade our Great Xia border. What is there to be afraid of an empire that can't even deal with children?"

The ministers whispered.

When the prince heard this, he also frowned, realizing the seriousness of this last competition.

"We're only going to give you one day to gather your talents. Gu Lihu said, "At this hour tomorrow, we will officially start to fight. Let's go!"

After speaking, he led the crowd and left the palace hall.

......

Looking at the barbarian envoy who left after showing off his might, the prince looked very calm. "Ladies and gentlemen, how to deal with the three competitions proposed by the barbarians, you all talk about your opinions. ”

"Your Majesty. An old minister stood up, "The first competition is a defense, they are Sima Junyan who appeared, and we are not sure of winning in Great Xia." Even, the probability of losing is greater. ”

"Do you need to say this?" said the prince dissatisfied.
