Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Hearing this, Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "How much silver do you think the formulas of my minister are worth? In this case, I don't want too much, just 50 taels of silver."

"it is good!"

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth curled up, and he agreed.

"I'd like to see where your confidence comes from!"

"His Royal Highness will see."

Li Xiao smiled slightly.

After the words fell, both of them fell silent.

Not long after, the martial arts conference soon entered the stage of the literary examination.

The officials of the official department present moved small tables one by one, and prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

The first test is the art of war.

The selection of the champion of martial arts by Tang Dynasty is not only based on the strength of martial arts, but also has a certain knowledge of the art of war.

At this time, Li Junxian also came back.

He handed Li Xiao a note.

Li Xiao looked at it, and the content of the note was about Xue Rengui and Wang Jie's past information.

"what?"

When Li Xiao saw the contents of the note, he was surprised.

"Where did you find this out? Are you sure it's true?"

Li Xiao looked at Li Junxian in confusion.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, what Xue Rengui said above is absolutely reliable." Li Junxian said very seriously.

After being confirmed, Li Xiao immediately fell into deep thought.

According to what Xue Rengui said.

This Wang Jie turned out to be a daughter.

Both were born in Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Jinyang, and they were childhood sweethearts since childhood.

Xue Rengui's father was originally a famous general in the former dynasty, and his family background was quite prominent.

The elders of the two parties even made a marriage contract for Xue Rengui and Wang Jie, and they were rightly matched.

It's just that the Xue family declined later, and the Wang family broke the marriage contract, and thus formed a grievance.

Now that the two meet again in Wuju, they are old enemies, no wonder the smell of gunpowder is so strong.

Seeing this, Li Xiao felt more at ease.

Wang Jie's disguise as a man violated the system of martial arts.

This alone is enough for him to win Li Chengqian.

Thinking that another 10 taels of silver will be credited.

Li Xiao immediately laughed from ear to ear.

"Brother Xiao, why are you so happy?"

Li Chengqian, who was not far away, happened to look over with doubts on his face.

"Haha, it's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered something happy." Li Xiao said cheerfully.

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao looked at Li Junxian, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Li, quickly ask Cheng Chumo to come and see me."

"Yes!"

Li Junxian left again.

Not long after, Cheng Chumo was brought here.

"Fatty, do you know about underground casinos?" Li Xiao asked.

"I know, what's the matter?" Cheng Chumo looked puzzled.

"Go, collect all the silver in the account, and put it all in."

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Cheng Chumo said excitedly, "Actually, I secretly bet 500 taels, but Wang Jie's odds are a bit low, betting five times one, but I can make a lot of money."

Hearing this, Li Xiao's face darkened: "Who asked you to bet on Wang Jie? I asked you to bet on Xue Rengui to win!"

"Are you crazy?!" Cheng Chumo looked puzzled, "Then Wang Jie has the best chance of winning, no matter what, he can't make things difficult for Yin Zi!"

"Damn it, you fat man, how dare you question my order now?" Li Xiao said angrily.

"Okay, okay! I listen to you!" Cheng Chumo sighed.

"Go back quickly!"

"Yes!"

Cheng Chumo looked reluctant, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, Li Chengqian obviously heard the conversation here, and suddenly smiled: "An underground casino? Interesting..."

"Cheng Chumo, come here, help me bring 1 taels of silver, and bet on Wang Jie to win!"

Chapter 188: The military test begins!

Cheng Chumo left with Li Chengqian's 1 taels of silver.

"Brother Xiao, with such a gamble, aren't you afraid of losing all your property?"

Li Chengqian smiled.

Li Xiao followed with a smile, but didn't say much.

Soon, the essay test results came out.

Hundreds of test takers eliminated half of them.

Xue Rengui and Wang Jie advanced without any surprise.

Next, is the martial arts test.

Participants need to fight against the warriors sent by the Ministry of Officials.

It is better to win, but even if you lose, if you perform well, you can advance to the next round.

An hour down.

The number of people wiped out more than half again.

In the end, only more than [-] people were left to advance to the third round.

Xue Rengui and Wang Jie are also listed here.

Final round.

Actual combat!

Everyone enters the school grounds.

Bring your own equipment, without any restrictions, melee!

In this round, participants can use their strengths, whether it is by means of equipment, contacts, wisdom, etc., as long as they win.

There is only one rule in the competition, no intentional killing.

As long as the opponent shouts to admit defeat, he can no longer take a shot against him, otherwise he will be disqualified.

Generally, as long as the difference in strength is not too large, basically no lives will be caused.

Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs are announcing the rules.

At this time, all the test takers entered the school field.

Wang Jie clenched the sword in his hand, and kept his gaze fixed on Xue Rengui in the distance.

Everyone around was a little afraid of Wang Jie and stayed away.

Everyone knows that among this group of people, Wang Jie is the strongest.

These aristocratic sons faintly formed several factions and gathered together in piles.

It seems that they are preparing to jointly fight against Wang Jie.

In a large group of more than ten people, Li Xiao suddenly saw a familiar face.

"Elder Sun Chong?" Li Xiao was surprised, "Why did this kid come to participate?"

in the school field.

Changsun Chong looked at several gangs and factions in the distance, and then looked at Wang Jie, his eyes thoughtful.

After a while, he walked up to Wang Jie, clasped his fists politely and said with a smile: "My lord, my eldest son, Sun Chong, you and I are both subordinates of the prince, why don't we unite and eliminate them all, and then we will decide the outcome, how about that?" ?”

"Who told you that I am under the crown prince?" Wang Jie looked at Changsun Chong and said coldly.

"You are in the same carriage with His Highness the Prince, how could you not be under the Prince's family?"

Chang Sun Chong had a puzzled look on his face.

"It's just a deal between me and the prince." Wang Jie said expressionlessly.

"You can think clearly, there are so many of them, they will definitely deal with you first, without my help, you can't move a single step!" Changsun Chong said with a gloomy face.

"roll!"

Wang Jie kept staring at Xue Rengui and dismissed Chang Sun Chong.

Chang Sun Chong immediately left with a livid face.

At this time, the participants have basically found their own cooperative group.

Except Xue Rengui and Wang Jie.

Just the two of them, alone.

The other test takers couldn't help discussing secretly.

"One is the king of Yue, and the other is the prince. They are probably not easy to mess with. I suggest that we take it easy and let them decide the outcome."

"What about Xue Rengui? I've never heard of it. You think him too highly. How could he be Wang Jie's opponent?"

"Yeah, I didn't see that Wang Jie seemed to have a deep hatred for this guy. I guess he will die in Wang Jie's hands before we make a move."

"Then let them confront each other first. Since Xue Rengui is the man Yue Wang is looking for, he may consume a certain amount of Wang Jie's strength. Then we will reap the benefits."

These words, although the voice is very small.

But in the same school, Xue Rengui and Wang Jie listened to each other verbatim.

"Xue Rengui, you and I will eventually have a battle."

Wang Jie said blankly: "But this is a battle between you and me, why don't we clean up the flies next to us first."

"That's what I mean too." Xue Rengui nodded.

Hearing this, the expressions of the other test takers suddenly turned ugly.

"What is the origin of this Xue Rengui? Why does Wang Jie value him so much?"

"This is going to be difficult. If the two strongest people known to join forces, it will be difficult for us to resist."

"No matter how strong you are, there are only two people. What are you afraid of?"

Chang Sun Chong was even more furious.

It is an insult to him that Wang Jie actually rejected his invitation and joined forces with Xue Rengui instead.

He thought for a while, and immediately shouted: "Guys, if the two of them unite, we can't sit still, I suggest..."

As he said that, Chang Sun Chong pointed to Xue Rengui and said, "Everyone join forces, kill this kid first, and then work together to deal with Wang Jie, and then we will decide the outcome, otherwise, our chances may be slim."

"Young Master Changsun is right! I mean the same thing here!"

"Then it's decided!"

Chang Sun Chong's words instantly gained everyone's unanimous approval.
