Chapter 259: Abstention

The black bear of the Li Dynasty made a look, and the black bear understood and hurriedly followed......

"Princess, wait for me......"

Lin Ran had long heard that Li Wei was favored, but he didn't expect to be spoiled like this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Yong'an City has a ban on martial arts, but she flies around above the imperial city, sacrificial ceremonies, she messes around at will, destroys etiquette, and is so used to it.

Because of her identity, the families present dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, after all, her grandfather was one of the founders of the Xiuzhen Alliance, Sariputta, and even King Li could only shake his head and sigh at this precious daughter......

King Li coughed, glanced at the civil official who was presiding over the ceremony, and the civil official understood, stepped forward and said loudly: "Please come to the table!"

When everyone heard this, they came to the desks on both sides of the steps and sat down according to the official rank......

On the high platform, there were only five people left at this time, namely Lin Ran, Zhang Sui, Li Lingyue, Tang Sanpao, and the civil official who officiated.

The civil officer looked at the four people behind him and asked, "Are you ready?"

Zhang Sui said: "Ready." ”

Tang Sanpao looked at Lin Ran and said impatiently: "Ready, let's start quickly!"

The civil official nodded, cleared his throat, and said to everyone: "The first game, the literary test, untitled, the two sides will paint a painting and inscribe a poem within a stick of incense, and send it to Mr. Kong's mansion by a fast horse, and he will decide the winner or loser......"

Lin Ran secretly glanced at Li Lingyue, this competition depends on how she makes decisions.

Li Lingyue was tilting her head at this time, looking absent-minded, not knowing what she was thinking......

Not long after, I saw several guards come up, they moved the two desks to the center of the high platform, and then retreated......

Zhang Sui glanced at Lin Ran, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Lin, I'm going to ......"

Lin Ran nodded and did not speak.

Zhang Sui walked to the front of a desk and said to Li Lingyue: "Miss Li, let's start!"

Li Lingyue walked slowly, walked to another case, and said with a smile, "After many years, I don't know if Senior Brother Zhang's pen power has improved?"

Zhang Sui didn't seem to have much resistance to her, and suddenly said in a reluctant: "It's okay, it's okay......"

The two of them looked at each other, and at the same time they began to draw on the drawing paper......

Lin Ran didn't know anything about Wenmo, so he naturally couldn't see what the skills of the two were, but according to his observation, Zhang Sui seemed to be confident, but his eyes flickered a little, and he inevitably hesitated and was not decisive enough. It's no wonder that he, this battle determines the life and death of the Zhang family, and every pen may push the Zhang family to destruction, how can he not be nervous......

On the other hand, Li Lingyue is calm, and her pen is like a dragonfly dotting water, and she stops when she points to it, and every stroke falls calmly, and her momentum is slightly better than Zhang Sui's......

Lin Ran watched for a while, and took a boring nap on the side, for him, painting is indeed boring enough......

It didn't take long to see Li Lingyue suddenly put down the paintbrush, lightly opened her lips and said, "Take it." ”

The civil official nodded, and hurriedly stepped forward to put away the scroll......

Lin Ran looked at Li Lingyue, her eyes were uncertain, she had finished burning a stick of incense before she finished burning, did she want to defect from the battle?

Zhang Sui's pressure was already great, as soon as Li Lingyue handed in the paper, his pressure was even greater, he was painting, his forehead began to be covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, suddenly, I saw his elbow shake, and suddenly sprinkled a pool of thick ink on the scroll, blurring a pitch black......

"Ah!" Zhang Sui exclaimed, his face turned pale in an instant!

Seeing this, the civil official stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Gongzi, are you okay?"

Zhang Sui stared at the pitch-black scroll, motionless, his eyes bloodshot.

Lin Ran stood aside and looked at Zhang Sui's painting, which depicted a man, the man's eyebrows were straight, a Confucian atmosphere, and a poem was written in the upper left corner of the painting. Lin Ran didn't look at the content of the poem carefully, but in terms of painting skills alone, in his opinion, Zhang Sui still painted very well, but it was a pity that his mentality collapsed, and a little thick ink was smeared in the painting, and he was defeated without a fight......

When the people saw him standing still, they began to talk about him......

Tang Sanpao watched from the sidelines, and said impatiently: "Zhang Sui, there are dead people in your family?

Lin Ran glanced at him lightly and said coldly, "Be careful when you speak!"

Tang Sanpao said ruthlessly: "Hmph, don't think that you will go to the sky in two clicks, and let you know my awesomeness in a while......"

"Ahem......" I only heard a coughing sound coming from not far away, Lin Ran turned his head to look, only to see Tang Mobai lying on the chair slowly open his cloudy old eyes, he swept over a few people on the high platform, then looked at King Li, and said slowly: "King Li, do you see if it's time to announce ......"

Seeing this, King Li glanced at the civil official, who nodded, walked up to Zhang Sui and said, "Zhang Gongzi, the time is up......"

Zhang Sui looked at the picture scroll for a long time, smiled reluctantly, and his lips were slightly white: "Take it, this time, I lost!"

All the dignitaries present were Yong'an's dignitaries, proficient in power arts, and scheming, seeing Zhang Sui's expression at this time, they all knew that the Zhang family had lost the first game, and the audience was suddenly full of sighs......

"As the old man expected......"

"Fortunately, I said hello to Lord Tang......

"Go to Lord Tang's mansion tonight for a few drinks to celebrate Tang Gongzi's ascension to the Taimiao Order......"

“......”

On the high platform, the civil official put away the two picture scrolls of the competition, and beckoned to a guard not far away: "Hurry up, send it to Hengshan Academy, and ask Mr. Kong to decide!"

"Yes!" the guard replied, and was about to take the scroll, when he heard a loud shout, and the guard suddenly stopped.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Li Lingyue slowly walk up to the guards, pull back one of the paintings, and then turn around and walk towards Lin Ran step by step.

"I'll send you!"

Lin Ran hadn't reacted yet, looking at the picture scroll in front of him, a little overwhelmed.

This scene happened too suddenly, and everyone didn't understand what was going on at all, even King Li was confused at this time.

Tang Sanpao didn't know what Li Lingyue was going to do, so he immediately asked, "Miss Li, which one are you singing?"

Li Lingyue said with a smile: "I'm just painting it to one person and leaving a thought......" After speaking, she looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran was puzzled: "Give it to me?"

Li Lingyue nodded and said, "Well, I'll give it to you!"

Lin Ran took the scroll and glanced at Li Lingyue strangely, but the other party didn't care, grinning at him, as if he was flirting between his eyebrows.

Li Wang looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Li Lingyue is nominally the crown princess, but she actually showed affection with a young man in public, without caring about the face of the royal family......

Tang Sanpao said depressedly: "Miss Li, you took the painting away, what can you do about the competition?"

Li Lingyue said lightly: "Abstain from the competition, it's not like ......."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even Tang Mobai, who couldn't move the thunder, was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him at this time, his eyes were like torches, staring at Li Lingyue and said: "Miss Li, you are the guest of the Tang family......

Li Lingyue said disapprerovantly: "Lord Tang's words are not right, Li Lingyue has no fame, so she is naturally not bound by her position, are you right?"

Tang Mobai slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "Very good...... Very good...... It seems that you and King Li are already in the same breath, and the old man is really out of sight......"

King Li smiled indifferently and said: "Since Li Lingyue abstained, the first game can be regarded as the Zhang family's victory, Brother Mo Bai, this judgment is also fair, right?"

Tang Mobai snorted coldly and said coldly: "Hmph, whatever you decide, it's just that there are some things, King Li shouldn't forget it!"

Li Wang said: "I have my own measure, I don't bother you to ......" After speaking, the civil officials of the court made a look, and the civil officials understood, and immediately stepped forward and preached: "In the first round of the literary examination, Zhang Sui won!"

"Win!" Zhang Sui didn't expect that he could still win the game by making a mistake, and immediately walked up to Li Lingyue and said excitedly: "Thank you Miss Li!"

Li Lingyue nodded slightly......

Lin Ran also let go of his heart at this time, no matter what, this one was finally won.

The civil official looked at the crowd and continued to preach: "Next, enter the second round of martial arts examinations, and invite representatives from both sides to take the stage!"

In the second game of the duel, the Tang family was played by Tang Sancang, he looked at Lin Ran not far away, and said sharply: "White-haired boy, are you ready to die?"
