first minister

Chapter 166
"Sishui Prefecture is adjacent to us, and we are well-matched, how can we take advantage of people's danger!"

Bai Yunbian immediately spoke uprightly, and hesitating for a second was disrespecting Xia Jingyun's strength.

"Hey! Lexian's words are wrong!"

Cheng Jiaoyu hurriedly persuaded: "It's convenient to be in the right family. What neighbors are not neighbors? Our two states are adjacent to each other, and they compete with us a lot! Moreover, after this exam, the Ministry of Rites will approve the number of candidates in each state, and we are still the main opponent! It would be great to take this opportunity to blow their arrogance!"

Bai Yunbian stood proudly, "The real strong don't bother to strike at the weak, they want to strike at the stronger!"

Cheng Jiaoyu looked helpless, "But as we said just now, we have to try our hands first!"

Bai Yunbian felt more helpless than Cheng Jiaoyu, why are you so stubborn!
What do you want me to do?
You think Sishui Prefecture is easy to bully now because that dog is not here!

That dog is coming, who can beat him!

I, Bai Yunbian, am undoubtedly a dragon and a phoenix among human beings, but that dog is not a human being!
And also stingy!
Now that he bullied Sishui Prefecture while he was away, he would have to pay back twice as much later.

Only fools go!
Bai Yunbian shook his head resolutely, "Teacher, there are other ways to try. It doesn't have to be fights or kills. It can also be the way of the world. For example, let's go to people in Sishui Prefecture to chat and communicate. One more friend is better than one more enemy, right?"

Cheng Jiaoyu looked at Bai Yunbian suspiciously, wondering if this kid had lost his soul, he was so timid even going to Sishui Prefecture, how could he still have the slightest madness of studying in the state.

But soon he found an explanation for himself, presumably it was because Bai Changshi Er reminded the young master before he set off that it became like this.

"Lexian, you really don't want to challenge Sishui Prefecture?"

"No!" Bai Yunbian's attitude was extremely firm.

Cheng Jiaoyu scratched his head, "Then we will wait for others to come to us? You are not prepared for this, do you have a chance of winning?"

Bai Yunbian was also a little tangled, he was hesitating when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then a few people hurried in.

"Teaching, Brother Lexian, someone has gone to the Surabaya Guild Hall again!"

Cheng Jiaoyu frowned, and immediately let out a hey, "These people are so picky about persimmons!"

He looked at Bai Yunxian and said with a smile: "But it's just right, we don't need to provoke Sishui Prefecture, but we can show you what this chaos is like. Let's go and see!"

After speaking, he pulled Bai Yunbian, yelled at everyone in Yunmeng State, and went to the Surabaya Guild Hall across the street together.

"It's from Guangling Prefecture!"

"It's because they didn't obey the rules in advance of this chaos!"

All the disciples in Yunmeng State were talking about it, but Bai Yunbian frowned, remembering the situation in the Spring Breeze Station that day.

That day, it seemed that Mr. Shi from the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites had come to welcome his cousin, and because of his domineering obedience, he had injured his guard, and Xia Jingyun had helped him out, which triggered a series of subsequent stories.

And his cousin seems to be from Guangling Prefecture.

Could it be that there is something wrong in Guanglingzhou's abnormal behavior?
"That's not right, the first battle in Guangling Prefecture was the Sishui Prefecture that came to challenge, and the two sides have already fought!"

"That's right, didn't you say that this big fight was only one time, why come again!"

"If this is a comparison, when will it end? Is this Guangling Prefecture going to completely break the rules?"

The disciples of Yunmeng State were a little confused, as were the disciples and instructions of Sishui Prefecture.

Xu Jiaoyu from Sishui Prefecture, who led the team, happened to be in the hall, and when he saw this, he came forward and saluted, "Are you all from Guangling Prefecture?"

The leader on the opposite side was Shi Zijun's cousin, the son of a prefect of a certain county in Guangling Prefecture, Shi Zixian, who hummed haughtily when he heard the words, didn't even open his mouth, showing no respect at all.

Xu Jiaoyu held back his anger, and said, "I don't know what you are talking about here?"

"Why does this gentleman pretend to be ignorant with his understanding, and mobilize the crowd to come here, it must be for a big fight. Could it be possible to sit and drink tea?"

When Shi Zixian opened his mouth, everyone in Guangling Prefecture burst into laughter.

Xu Jiaoyu suppressed his anger, and secretly warned [I am sir, I am sir, I cannot be angry], "But if the old man remembers correctly, you and I have already competed once two days ago. According to the rules of the Chunwei competition, there is no need for the two parties to compete again."

Shi Zixian nodded, "I know I've done the competition, but it's just that I went to compete with Longshouzhou just now. After a hard fight, I'm really tired. Come compare with you and relax!"

"Too deceiving!!!"

Xu Jiaoyu finally broke out, pointing at the leader's nose, "Do you think your Guangling Prefecture is amazing?"

"Hey! Our Guangling Prefecture is really amazing! At least it is better than your Sishui Prefecture!"

Shi Zixian looked as if he wanted to be beaten, "Why, you are not convinced? It's okay, we came today to beat you!"

The laughter in Guanglingzhou became louder, and even some people who felt that it was too much were silent or changed under the mentality of conformity and successive victories.

Among the cases in Sishui Prefecture, Xu Dapeng couldn't help but stand up, "You are nothing more than picking on our absence and taking advantage of others' danger! Why do you have to pretend to be so arrogant!"

Shi Zixian sneered, "Isn't he here? I want to meet him directly, but he won't come out like a turtle with a hidden head!"

"Fart! Brother Gao Yang has something to do and can't get away!"

Xu Dapeng defended angrily, and Zeng Jimin also walked out of the crowd, frowning, "Your Excellency is even more competitive, and I will continue, but making wild speculations and insulting others is not what scholars of my generation do."

Zeng Jimin's calm tone and polite words eased the tense atmosphere due to scolding, and many people nodded secretly.

But Shi Zixian snorted, "What are you speculating about? Isn't your Xie Yuan in the capital? Is it difficult to come? Why doesn't he come? Isn't that just like a turtle with a hidden head? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

But he also knew that he would accept it as soon as he saw it, and he didn't give everyone in Sishui Prefecture a chance to fight back, so he said: "But you have a good saying, you just accept the trick, your skills are not as good as others, whether you lose or get scolded, take what you deserve. If you want to blame, blame your Xie Yuan!"

He looked around, "Who will fight!"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, for a while, they all hesitated.

This Mr. Shi is not someone who only knows arrogance and superficiality. In the past few days, he has led people from Guangling Prefecture to kill all directions.

In the past, the rules of chaos were to send five people, and then three out of five rounds would win.

This Mr. Shi played one-on-five and often won three games in straight sets. Regardless of his character, at least he was impeccable in talent and learning.

Even in Sishui Prefecture, some people doubted that even if Xia Jieyuan, known as the unparalleled poetic talent, came to confront him, he might not be able to win.

After all, poetry is only one of them.

Seeing that everyone was afraid to come out, Zeng Jimin and Xu Dapeng stood up almost at the same time, "I'm coming!"

Under the encouragement of the two, three more people stepped forward one after another.

Shi Zixian didn't panic at all, he folded his arms, "Just the five of you, my son alone is enough!"

Xu Dapeng, a big troll, can't do it anymore, after all, at this time, he wants his subordinates to see the truth.

According to the rules of Smash Bros., if one party chooses the content of the competition, then the other party can take the lead in each competition. For example, he can choose the proposition when composing a poem, and he can take the lead when playing chess.

Generally speaking, the "home court" side will choose according to their own advantages. Therefore, this time, everyone in Sishui Prefecture is no exception. After discussing for a while, five competitions are set: poetry, pairing, Go, long and short sentences, and throwing pots.

"Brother Zize, you have the best literary talents, so you can write poems by yourself."

"Brother Bo Yi, you have a quick mind, try to come up with a pair."

"There are few people who write long and short sentences, but I have learned this way before. If the people of Guangling Prefecture have not studied this way, maybe they can win the game again."

"I have been a little idle since I was a child. I have studied Go assiduously, and my level is not bad. I think I can fight for the next game."

"For this last sentence, I will throw a pot with it. It is purely a matter of luck. Even if you lose, it is not ashamed."

After some arrangements, the people in Sishui Prefecture immediately regained their courage, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, after a while, they understood what it means to be full of ideals and skinny in reality.

Just like in another time and space, a certain group planned [lose to Brazil, draw with Turkey, win with Costa Rica, fight for goal difference and qualify second in the group], and they were directly humiliated in three games.

"Let's read again!"

After winning three rounds in a row, Shi Zixian, who didn't give them any room for follow-up strategies, laughed and stood up.

Seeing this crushing scene, everyone in Guangling prefecture burst into cheers instantly, while those in Sishui prefecture were ashen-faced, clenching their fists, humiliated but helpless.

"If Xia Jieyuan and Mr. Zheng are still here, maybe we can win?"

"Speak carefully! Zheng Tianyu is a traitor, how can he stand side by side with us!"

"I think the person surnamed Shi is right. Xia Jingyun is afraid to come, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Xia is not that kind of person!"

"Then why doesn't he come? Just watch us being humiliated like this?"

Everyone in Yunmeng State gathered around, looking at the appearance of the people in Sishui State, a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox was quietly born in their hearts, but they immediately gained more confidence. After all, although this Mr. Bai is a bit annoying, he is still really good.

Cheng Jiaoyu said with emotion: "Perhaps this is why the imperial court tolerated this kind of challenge. Let you young people with lofty hearts know the cruelty of this world in advance, and taste the world's difference between winning and losing. It is always beneficial to your heart."

A Yunmengzhou Juzi said in a low voice: "It's just that they are not as lucky as us. It's really not a gentleman's action to let these Juzi bear the responsibility and humiliation that should have been borne by Xie Yuan!"

Shi Zixian listened to the discussions around him, smiled slightly, stood up, and stretched himself.

"Let's go, this competition is really relaxing! Okay, let's go back and have a drink tonight!"

All the people in Guangling Prefecture agreed together, surrounded Shi Zixian and walked towards the gate of the Surabaya Hall.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly spoke.

Everyone in Guangling Prefecture stopped and turned around. Bai Yunbian stepped out with a stern expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "On behalf of Yunmeng Prefecture, I challenge you!"

Everyone in Guangling prefecture blinked, and a group of officials in Sishui prefecture raised their heads in doubt.

Meanwhile, Cheng Jiaoyu and everyone in Yunmeng State were dumbfounded.

　I've been too busy these days, so the second one will be a little later.
