Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 104 Battle of Couplets
The goat-bearded old man nodded: "I understand and will make arrangements. In addition, Your Highness, they dared to send an assassin to assassinate Zhao Kang last night. Do we want someone to protect them secretly?"

Xiao Feiyu frowned: "Idiot! Will the empress not pay more attention to the assassination of Zhao Kang? Isn't the person who sent us just to alert the enemy?"

The old man realized later: "I am stupid."

"As long as Zhao Kang is here, nothing will happen to Yunshan Iron Mine. Your Majesty will be more anxious about this than us, so she will never let anything happen to Zhao Kang."

Xiao Feiyu sat back on the chair: "We just need to wait and see what happens. After all, what if we win this time? After all, we are the weakest small country."

He shook his head, smiled, and glanced at the blue sky.

He knew better than anyone else that this time Qi Jing and Zhou Guo came to rob the country by force, but they just used the method of literary fighting.

Because what if Qian Guo wins?Iron ore is distributed among the three kingdoms of Qi, Jing and Qian.

After the two countries lost, they found a way to repudiate the debt. Can you still lead the troops to defeat it?
What people in the world can testify about can only be said by strong people, and Qian Guo is not yet qualified to lift the table.

Therefore, if Qian Guo loses, he really loses, but the opponent is different.

It was precisely after seeing this clearly that Xiao Feiyu hoped that Zhao Kang would take action, but what he didn't expect was.

This move really shocked everyone.

"If I win tomorrow, I should be able to return to court, right?" Xiao Feiyu thought to himself and smiled unconsciously.

State Guest House.

Ye Hongxue thought about it and decided not to go to Zhao Kang and get the information from Li Muqing and Liu Hanlong.

She knew why Zhao Kang did not come to the second competition today.

For some reason, she wasn't happy at all. She was still a little confused and had the urge to find someone to fight.

"It really makes no sense!"

The female general groaned as she smashed a table with a slap.

That pervert is blocking my grand plan for the Kingdom of China, why am I always thinking about him!
Everyone has different thoughts.

Time passed quietly and unconsciously.

The next day it started to get dark.

Many officials had already gotten up. They did not have to go to the morning court in the three days since the civil war began. They focused on the civil war.

In just half an hour, officials came to the seats where the fight was taking place and were waiting, whispering to each other from time to time.

A group of students and common people also gathered on the periphery.

After hearing yesterday that Zhao Kang had a sudden illness, these people's anger turned into worry.

He looked worriedly at Wen Doutai, who had not yet arrived at the scene. It would be dangerous if Zhao Kang's illness did not recover today!

Although it is easy to be led away, at this critical moment, most people are thinking about how to deal with the national crisis.

Zhang Sheng also got up early in the morning, took a bath and burned incense.

This is the first time in decades that the old gentleman is so solemn. Although his opponent did not come yesterday, he saved the day by himself.

But that was not a real victory after all, so Zhang Zi, who had always been steady, was unusually a little nervous today.

The tension and excitement of having another head-to-head confrontation with Zhao Kang.

I failed the day before yesterday, so I must not fail again today!
Must win!

Green smoke curled up, and after a full hour, Zhang Shengcai pushed the door open and walked out. Ye Hongxue and the other three were already waiting.

Looking at Zhang Zi who looked calm, Li Muqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Sir, are you ready? It's still early, how about..."

"No need, it will happen sooner or later."

Zhang Sheng smiled slightly, and when he saw this, Li Muqing felt relieved and said with a smile: "Sir, I have never been defeated. I believe that I will win this literary battle as well."

"That's right, the little Zhao Kang may win once, but the poetry is still the little Doyle."

Liu Hanlong laughed: "I look forward to Zhang Zi's performance today, so that the world will know the weight of the first two words of the article." Ye Hongxue did not say any compliments, but just clasped her fists: "Please sir."

"Let's go."

The group of people left the State Guesthouse and walked slowly towards the Wen Dou venue.

In the palace, Her Majesty the Empress and Prince Xuance also started to leave. The outcome of this battle would be directly related to state affairs, so Xiao Linglong must go.

Both parties arrived at the scene almost at the same time. Seeing Xiao Linglong take her seat, Li Muqing made no secret of the possessiveness in his eyes and jumped out to undermine morale.

"Your Majesty, your representative had an emergency yesterday. Is he feeling well today? Is there no one left to fight again?"

Xiao Linglong's eyebrows sank and she said coldly: "The Third Highness is very concerned about Zhao Kang."

Li Muqing laughed and said shamelessly: "That's not true. If we win two consecutive games without a fight, then our victory will be too easy. I'm afraid your country will be unwilling to accept it."

Just as he finished speaking, another voice sounded.

"I'm sorry, I'll make you convinced that you lost."

Hearing this, Li Muqing was startled, and everyone turned around to look.

I saw Zhao Kang, dressed in white and holding a paper fan, looking like a good young man from a troubled world.

He was accompanied by Mr. Lin and several other guards, all of whom were sent by Xiao Linglong to protect Zhao Kang.

Someone immediately shouted: "It's Zhao Kang here!"

"Here he comes, the leader of our country is here!"

"Come on Zhao Kang!"

In the cheers of everyone, Zhao Kang approached step by step, smiled and nodded with everyone.

Li Muqing's eyes were cold and Liu Hanlong frowned.

On the other hand, Ye Hongxue and Zhang Zi, one looked calm and the other had a fighting spirit.

Li Muqing smiled sadly: "Master Zhao, are you feeling well?"

"Thanks to His Highness, there is no serious problem." Zhao Kang chuckled.

Li Muqing: "Young master, please be more careful. The weather is unpredictable and unpredictable. Be careful and it will be bad if you get seriously ill again."

Zhao Kang chuckled and said, "The same applies to Your Highness, our Qian Kingdom cannot compare with the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the road is uneven, be careful if you stumble one day."

Before it even started, the two of them were at war with each other.

Xiao Feiyu and Xiao Xuance on the side were a little strange.

It's really strange that Zhao Kang didn't show off his vixen energy.

Otherwise, with his mouth, it would be strange for Li Muqing to be able to save his parents.

The verbal exchange between the two immediately made the students and people watching feel that today was not in vain.

Guo Fengyu, the wine sacrificer, hurriedly stood up and changed the topic: "Since both parties have arrived, please invite Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang to come to the stage."

Zhang Sheng stood up, and Li Muqing stopped threatening Zhao Kang with words. He had full confidence in Zhang Sheng regarding the couplets.

After all, this is not writing a poem. The couplets should be simple but more impactful.

Zhang Sheng, who has been involved in this art for decades, is recognized as an invincible master of couplets. He has also created several pairs that have become eternal.

Then Zhao Kang is only 25 at first glance. No matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be?

Zhao Kang looked at Li Muqing and laughed, threw off his sleeves and strode onto the stage.

That look made Li Muqing very unhappy: "What is this guy looking at!"

Ye Hongxue on the side said with some uncertainty: "I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm looking at a dead person when he looks at me."
