Dragon Pattern Roll Set

The third match is about to start, and the last ones will be Xie Yan and Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan is the biggest of the three talents in Kaifeng, while Xie Yan is the head of the three talents in Jiangnan. This competition can be described as full of highlights.However... Xie Yan's poetry, prose, and music theory have long been famous all over the world. Almost everyone present has read his poetry collections, and everyone already knows what level of talent he is.In comparison, Cao Yuan is unknown. How can such two people compare?

The onlookers were all discussing what kind of topic would be next, but no one noticed that more and more people were gathering around the crowd, and what these people said seemed a little weird.Although they were wearing scholar's clothes, they didn't look like scholars, but they didn't look like warriors either. They always felt nondescript.

Of course, the fact that the scholars didn't notice didn't mean Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others didn't notice.

Yin Hou held the fourth son in his arms and looked outside.

Tianzun also glanced at it, "Hey, there are so many here all at once?"

Yin Hou frowned slightly, "How did the news get out?"

Tianzun laughed dryly, "If Zhao Zhen wanted to hide it, he wouldn't be wearing that wrench and shaking it."

Yin Hou glanced at Zhao Zhen who was sitting at the stone table at this time, resting his chin with one hand, and gently turning the jasper finger on his thumb with his index finger, and he understood, "It seems that this time I will go out of the palace. It’s not as simple as just coming to play.”

Zhao Pu frowned slightly, are these really assassins?It looked a little watery, but just in case, he still winked at Ouyang.

Ouyang and Zou Liang went outside... At this time, outside Baekje Garden, the Imperial City Army gathered at least 3000 people.

Ouyang rubbed his stomach after going out, "Oh, my stomach hurts."

Zou Liang was also helpless.

At this time, some people appeared on the roof, all soldiers in black with bows and arrows on their backs.

"The chatterers are here." As soon as Ouyang finished speaking, Long Qiaoguang appeared on the opposite roof and waved his hands... His archers orderedly chose a high place near Baekje Garden to ambush, holding bows Crossbow waited.

Long Qiaoguang stood on the roof and looked at the situation inside Baekje Garden, frowning slightly... Why do those fake scholars who sneak in look like hooligans?Is it a new assassin?

Nangong was standing beside Zhao Zhen at this time, glanced at Zhao Zhen's fingers that he had been turning intentionally or unintentionally just now, and frowned slightly—could it be that the emperor deliberately exposed his identity and wanted to attract these people?At the same time, Nangong also wondered, who are these people?

Xie Yan was by Zhao Zhen's side right now, and he also noticed the scholars who came in who didn't look like scholars.

Xie Yan looked at the people in the Kaifeng mansion, and saw that the three generals of the Zhao family army were gone except Zhao Pu, and he always felt that something was wrong.

He looked down at Zhao Zhen again, wanting to ask if something happened to him... The moment he lowered his head, Xie Yan's gaze was attracted by the pull on Zhao Zhen's finger.

This finger ring is priceless at first glance, simple and dignified, and there is a shallow crack on the finger... Only when you look carefully, you will find that it is not a crack, but a blood-like, red line.Xie Yan was stunned, and the blood jade finger...

Xie Yan was stunned for a while, then subconsciously glanced at Nangong Ji, he could see some clues from the details of Nangong's clothes - Ouchi guards...

Xie Yan thought about it before and after, and guessed Zhao Zhen's identity... It's not that he has never seen the world, but he was still taken aback.

At this time, Cao Yuan and Yan Shaogong also came up.

Fang Baekje is an old businessman, and he also felt that there seemed to be some strange people mixed in among the onlookers. He could tell at a glance whether this was a scholar or not. A sinister look?

Faintly, Fang Baekje felt that something was going to happen, and the first thing he thought of was Zhao Pu... Could it be that someone wanted to harm the Generalissimo?There are so many people here, if there is a real fight in a while, if there is another chaos, many people will be trampled to death just by stepping on them.

Fang Baiji felt that he could not handle the situation, so he turned to Zhan Zhao for help.

Zhan Zhao received Fang Baekje's bewildered eyes asking for help, and felt a little helpless, so he tugged at Bai Yutang's sleeve.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and asked him, "Why do the assassins look so much like hooligans now? The king of assassins, Shajia, even brought in some professional ones!"

Bai Yutang said, "I also feel like a ruffian, but there should be no ruffians in Kaifeng who don't know you, right?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Kaifeng is safe and secure, so where are the ruffians?"

"Maybe he's not a native of Kaifeng." Bai Yutang observed for a while, reached out and patted Zhan Zhao, and said, "Probably overthinking."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "Thinking too much?"

Bai Yutang said, "If Zhao Zhen wasn't here today and these people rushed in, what would you think?"

Zhan Zhao blinked, then lightly clapped his hands, "That's right!"

Bai Yutang nodded, they were all too nervous about Zhao Zhen, it seems... the person Zhao Zhen wanted to lure was not attracted.

Zhao Pu was also puzzled—who did Zhao Zhen want to lure out after spending a lot of trouble and taking personal risks?

Nangong was a little impatient, he felt that it was too dangerous for Zhao Zhen to stay any longer, so he looked down at him, what does that mean——how about we withdraw first?

Zhao Zhen did not move, and continued to hold his chin, asking Fang Baekje, "When will the third competition start?"

"Uh..." Fang Baiji looked around and saw Zhao Pu standing there without moving, so he coughed and said, "In the third round, who will come up with the question first..."

Just as Yan Shaogong was about to speak, he saw Zhao Zhen raised his hand and shook his finger lightly at him, which meant—you step back first.

Yan Shaogong was taken aback.

Zhao Zhen looked at Cao Yuan and Xie Yan, and said, "This game will be a question."

Cao Yuan frowned, Yan Shaogong also wondered why this person is so domineering, and was about to refute a few words, but Xie Yan said, "It's better to fight quickly."

Fang Baekje nodded straightly - it is indeed better to end it quickly, he actually wants Qiankun Academy to simply admit defeat, this is better than nothing, he has already lost.

Yan Shaogong and Cao Yuan looked at each other.

Xie Yan saw that the two seemed to be hesitating, so he said, "Maybe leave a question and continue it in the next four courts' competition? That means there is no winner this time, right?"

Both Cao Yuan and Yan Shaogong were moved - indeed, if this competition continues, although they are somewhat prepared, the strength of the three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be beyond their expectations. If they lose, it will be too ugly. The entire Qiankun Academy will also lose face.But if one question is left unfinished, it means that there is no winner...It sounds much better than a complete defeat!

Yan Shaogong nodded to Cao Yuan, thinking it would be more cost-effective.

Cao Yuan also apparently accepted this statement.

Yan Shaogong asked Zhao Zhen, "Young Master Huang, what question do you think of next?"

Zhao Zhen smiled, and said in a quiet voice, "For example, I am the emperor."

……

Zhao Zhen's words left Fang Baiji and Yan Shaogong stunned.

Xie Yan frowned slightly—as expected...

Yan Shaogong and Fang Baiji opened their mouths wide... This one said "I am the emperor", and this "I" is really easy to pronounce.

The two looked at each other, and Fang Baiji subconsciously glanced at Zhan Zhao not far away.

Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded slightly.

Fang Baiji took a deep breath, Yan Shaogong was instantly dumbfounded at the moment, while he was stunned, he was also extremely thankful that Xie Yan stopped him from speaking just now, otherwise he would definitely bump into Zhao Zhen, and he would not be able to eat and walk around up.

Cao Yuan still doesn't understand the situation, look at Yan Shaogong.

Yan Shaogong has never met Sheng Sheng before. Sometimes Zhao Zhen received hundreds of officials, and his rank could only be seen from a distance. Today, he is still in front of his eyes. What should he do?A big gift?

Yan Shaogong's tendency seemed to kneel down to salute, Nangong frowned slightly, and gave him a wink, which meant - keep a low profile.

Yan Shaogong hurriedly supported the table and stabilized first, that's right...Zhao Zhen came out of the palace in a micro-clothes, there are so many people here, in case of a big gift, wouldn't Zhao Zhen reveal his identity!

Cao Yuan's two brothers couldn't see the situation clearly from a distance, and they were all curious, what is this discussing?Why is Yan Shaogong shaking?

Zhao Zhen ignored the tsunami in their hearts, and continued to speak. He pointed to the crowd and said, "There are at least two or three hundred assassins mixed in here, what should we do?"

Yan Shaogong was startled, Cao Yuan was dumbfounded, and Xie Yan frowned slightly—assassin?

In the rear, Bao Yan and the others were all curious, Lai Tianqing was puzzled and asked Bao Yan, "What are they doing?"

Pang Yu pouted, "My brother-in-law is probably teasing them."

Lin Xiao didn't seem nervous either, waiting to see the next development.

Yan Shaogong lowered his voice, "Please return to the palace quickly, your majesty, it is not suitable to stay here for long!"

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Isn't this question for the two of them, do you want to answer it too?"

Yan Shaogong opened his mouth, and said that the emperor is generous enough, there are two or three hundred assassins in front of him, he is still in the mood to ask questions?

Cao Yuan didn't know what to do at this time, he opened his mouth to look at Yan Shaogong.

Yan Shaogong was in a hurry, what did he mean - let him go back to the palace quickly.

Cao Yuan said, "Uh... protect the emperor and return to the palace first."

Zhao Zhen looked at Cao Yuan with his chin up, helpless... After all, he was still younger, only seventeen or eighteen, so he was probably a little frightened.

Zhao Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yan again.

Xie Yan said the few words that prevented Yan Shaogong from rushing him just now, but he was not too surprised by his expression at this time, seeing that he had already guessed his identity.

Zhao Zhen was a little surprised. If Yan Shaogong hadn't been stopped by Xie Yan just now, he would definitely have lashed out.On the premise of not revealing his identity, Xie Yan prevented Yan Shaogong from making mistakes. This is actually not very beneficial to Xie Yan, but it is beneficial to Yan Shaogong. How should I put it?Should it be said that this young man is kind-hearted?Or is he thoughtful?

Seeing Zhao Zhen looking at him, Xie Yan shook his head, "There's no need to go."

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows.

Xie Yan looked down, and said, "This is the imperial city, heavily guarded, and there are many masters in Baekje Garden, let alone Zhanzhao Baiyutang, Tianzun and Yinhou are both there, even if there are three hundred assassins, It is also impossible to succeed in assassinating the king here."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and glanced at Xie Yan, "Then what do you think they are here for?"

Xie Yan glanced at those people who mixed into the crowd, and said, "It's here to create chaos."

Zhao Zhen gently touched his chin with one hand, "Creating chaos..."

Xie Yan said, "If the competition between Taixue and Qiankun Academy causes disputes and results in chaos and casualties, the competition between the four colleges may be cancelled, and at the same time it will cause some other follow-up effects."

The corner of Zhao Zhen's mouth moved slightly.

Yan Shaogong frowned, "Is this idea a bit risky? What if the other party is really an assassin..."

Xie Yan shook his head, "No one would use such a talented assassin to assassinate the driver. The real purpose is to cancel the competition of the Fourth Court." As he said that, Xie Yan looked at Cao Yuan, "Who gave you the idea to make an appointment with us?" Did you come here to fight the pre-war?"

Cao Yuan was stunned, "Uh..."

"Could it be... the other two courts?" Yan Shaogong asked.

Xie Yan shook his head, "Everyone knows that people from Kaifeng Mansion are here, and they are sure to be arrested for causing trouble. If you dare to come, it means that you don't know that you will be arrested. You see, the clothes those people wear are quite clean, but the dirt on their shoes It’s very thick, obviously they’ve come here a long way. This is a ruffian from other places who was hired with money, dressed as a scholar, sneaked in and prepared to cause trouble for a while. Other academies don't make any sense, they don't need to do this, so there are other people behind the scenes."

After finishing speaking, Xie Yan looked at Cao Yuan and asked, "Did your dean give you the idea?"

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yan.

Cao Yuan opened his mouth wide, nodded after a while, "Well...it is true that the dean ordered us to find an opportunity to provoke you, and then we will have a pre-battle before the competition between the four courts."

Xie Yan smiled slightly, "I see."

Nangong was standing behind Zhao Zhen at this moment, he frowned slightly, and looked at Xie Yan beside him, this brat...has a lot of eyes.

Zhao Zhen looked back at him somewhat narrowly.

Nangong is also helpless, the so-called caring is chaotic.

Zhao Zhen touched his chin lightly, thinking it was interesting——Xie Yan is a ghostly spirit, calm and scheming when he encounters problems, but his appearance is kind and smooth, and he doesn't offend even his opponents. There is a little shadow of Grand Master Pang when he was young. It's a completely different style...

"Then what's your plan?" Zhao Zhen asked Xie Yan with great interest.

Xie Yan nodded, he looked into the crowd for a while, finally found a person, walked over, and whispered something in his ear.

The man froze for a moment, then frowned, turned around and beckoned people away... Not long after, the people who had sneaked in just now hurried out.The onlookers didn't understand, when did this group of people come in?Foreign accent, why is this?

Zhan Zhao and the others all smiled lightly, so they were dismissed.

At the door, Ouyang Shaozheng and others saw a group of ruffians swearing and walking out, taking off their scholar's robes as they walked, they were a little puzzled, but they still stepped forward and arrested them all.The hooligans were taken aback and begged for mercy, saying that they just took money from a scholar to make trouble, they never thought of killing people, and they didn't even know that the officials were here...

Ouyang and Zou Liang looked at each other.

Long Qiaoguang also folded his arms and tilted his head on the roof - he really was a hooligan.

Zhao Zhen smiled and asked Xie Yan, "What did you say?"

Xie Yan said, "Those fake scholars looked in one direction from time to time, it seemed that they were waiting for that person to issue orders, so that person should be the boss, so I went over and told him that Zhan Zhao is here."

Zhao Zhen smiled, and asked him, "Why did you see that they were hooligans, and a group of masters over there didn't see that they were hooligans?"

Xie Yan shook his head, "They all saw it."

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, nodded and sighed softly, "It seems so."

Xie Yan looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "It's a pity."

Zhao Zhen looked at him.

Xie Yan glanced at the puller on Zhao Zhen's finger—the person the emperor wanted to lure seemed unsuccessful.

Zhao Zhen nodded—it was a very fruitful day. Lai Tianqing and Yue Ziming are talented, and this kid Xie Yan in front of him is a good material for an official.

……

"Is it almost over?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Yutang nodded.

But at this moment, Tianzun suddenly came up and poked the shoulders of the two.

The two looked back at him.

Tianzun smiled, "The gang just left."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him suspiciously—yes, they all saw it.

Tianzun raised one corner of his mouth, "But there are still a few people who sneaked in just now! These few don't look like hooligans."
