Chapter 62 Listen to the dragon’s roar!
Seeing Xia Zhibai walking towards the three of them, Hua Lun and the others looked at each other, with a touch of restlessness and anger in their eyes. However, seeing Xia Zhibai's current appearance, they couldn't help but feel a little moved.
At this moment, Xia Zhibai was in ragged clothes, unkempt, and his face was mixed with water and mud. He looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, giving people a feeling of being extremely determined and able to stand upright, and any difficulties would be overcome. Can't be pressed.
See this.
Hua Lun couldn't help but snorted, but for some reason, his anger subsided a lot, but the hand holding the sword secretly tightened.
Xia Zhibai walked up to the three of them, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, long time no see."
Lian Zining snorted coldly, with a sullen face and said without giving any good looks: "What are you doing? Did you come back specifically to humiliate us?”
He also had a sword in his hand.
If Xia Zhibai doesn't answer well, he will draw his sword immediately.
I would rather take the straight path than seek it from the crooked path!
As a scholar, he has the pride and dignity of a scholar.
Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated!
Xia Zhibai shook his head and said calmly: "Why should I humiliate you? What good does humiliating you do to me? Just because you came here with swords today? If you are not careful, will my head fall to the ground? ”
“I know the result of the test”
“But it has nothing to do with me.”
Huang Zicheng said angrily: "It has nothing to do with you? You fart, if it weren't for you, we would be where we are now?"
"Do you know how miserable you have done to us? We are now a complete mess. It’s a joke in the world, you have disgraced us, and all our hard work for more than ten or twenty years has come to nothing.”
“Why do you want to harm us?”
Huang Zicheng glared. , the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his emotions had reached the edge of being uncontrollable.
Hua Lun also pointed his sword at Xia Zhibai, with a livid face and a cold look in his eyes.
Xia Zhibai looked at the three sharp swords in front of him that emitted cold light, pressed the swords down with his palm, and said lightly: "If you are really angry, you shouldn't take it out on me, but on the court!"
"Because it's not me who has the problem."
"It's the imperial court!"
"I, Xia Zhibai, have indeed made a bet with you, but if I, Xia Zhibai, are really uneducated and incompetent, How could he have made it to this day if he was just cheating?"
"Three Tests in Kaifeng Mansion"
"I ranked first in the children's examination, the college examination, and the provincial examination. You should have investigated it, otherwise you would not have accepted this bet."
"Now that I have failed, it is really unexpected, and also It’s very surprising, but have you ever thought that it’s not necessarily my problem, but the results of this imperial examination?”
Xia Zhibai stood with his hands behind his hands, letting the rain wet his body? , looked at the three of them indifferently, "I, Xia Zhibai, am indeed a little frivolous, but not to the point of being arrogant and arrogant."
"I will not go out of my way to humiliate others."
"Scholars have the arrogance of scholars, and farmers have the perseverance and hard work of farmers. I have always respected them and will not easily discredit or humiliate them."
"I won't be so mean."
"Nonsense!" Hua Lun was furious and retorted: "If there was really fraud in the imperial examination results, why didn't you come forward? Why did you choose to run away and hide? ?”
“You are clearly humiliating us.”
“You haven’t told the truth yet and are still lying to us. I will never fall for you again this time. Don’t try to lie to me again.”
“I will kill you today!”
"Look at the sword!"
Hua Lun's anger completely exploded. Xia Zhibai's explanation sounded ridiculous to him, and it was also a naked mockery.
He stabbed Xia Zhibai with his sword, wanting to stab Xia Zhibai to death with one sword to relieve the hatred in his heart that had been suppressed and humiliated during this period. Xia Zhibai frowned.
He took a few steps back, dodged the sword, and said coldly: "Hua Lun, I know you are very angry, but this is the fact."
< br>
"And when did I escape?"
"I left for a while, but it was not an escape as you said, but an upright departure, with the guidance given by the prince. "
said.
Xia Zhibai took out a road guide and threw it in front of the three of them. Lian Zining and Huang Zicheng looked at each other with a solemn look in their eyes.
The two people hurriedly picked up the guide on the ground, looked at it carefully, and their expressions changed slightly.
Because this piece of paper is engraved with the seal of 'Crown Prince Treasure', which is the seal of the current prince. They have never seen it, but does anyone in the world really dare to cheat on this thing?
Lian Zining grabbed Hua Lun and said solemnly: "You really didn't run away at that time?"
Xia Zhibai shook his head and said calmly: "Why should I run away? Even if I fail the imperial examination, What else? I left to prepare for the imperial examination."
"It was also to save the people of the world."
Listening to Xia Zhibai's righteous words, the three of them looked at each other with some confusion. I can't figure it out.
If this lead is true, then Xia Zhibai did not hide intentionally, and since His Highness has asked him to prepare for the palace examination, then he should be ranked among the top three.
Just why did Xia Zhibai fail to rank?
Is there really a problem with the imperial examination?
“That’s not right.” Hua Lun shook his head and noticed the ‘flaw’ in it, and said coldly: “When will you leave Yingtian Mansion for the palace examination?”
“You are clearly here. Lie!”
Xia Zhibai glanced at Hua Lun. Hua Lun was less than twenty now. It was at the peak of his youth, and it was indeed easy to get drunk.
He said calmly: "My palace examination is different from what you think, because what I want to compete for is not the number one scholar, but the future of this land."
"I also gave an answer !”
“Xia Zhibai, do you know what you are talking about?” Lian Zining said solemnly: “The palace examination has not been held yet. When did you even take part in the palace examination? If you don't pass the top three examinations, you are not qualified to participate in the palace examination."
"You are just talking nonsense."
Xia Zhibai turned around, with his back to the three of them, pointing at the victims who were queuing up in the rain, waiting for relief officers to rescue them, and said in a deep voice: "I am not participating in the imperial examination."
"On behalf of the people, we ask Emperor Hongwu for an answer. What kind of future does he want to give the world? This is the imperial examination of the world."
"The people's requirements are very simple. What they want is progress. Those who are rich and powerful, rather than those who are backward, poor and weak!"
"A strong country must be strong!"
The three of Hua Lun looked at each other and felt that His scalp felt numb for a while. Is Xia Zhibai crazy? Can you say such treacherous words?
Question the emperor?
How dare he have such an idea?
Xia Zhibai turned around, looked at the three people who were a little panicked, and said calmly: "If I guessed correctly, the imperial examination will start soon."
"And I must be the top pick."
"In this fight, I won, because I am not dead, I am still alive."
"You can wait a few more days, and then you will know whether what I said today is true or false, but don't forget the original bet."
"When the time comes, listen to the dragon's roar!"
