Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 2021 179. Spirit Beast Arena (The cost and courage of a small official competing against the powerful)

Above the water garden, a gust of autumn wind passed by, and the sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted on the island were bustling and shaking their branches. The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus was overflowing. The small off-white flowers fell to the water with the wind, and rounds of water flowers rippled around the island. There was a crowd of people above, and piles of people crowded over to watch the fun.

The area around the second venue suddenly became lively. It turned out that there were just too many people watching the fun!

Jinrui was the referee of the third venue. The opponents standing in front of him were facing each other, which gave him a headache.

Although Zhao Yide on the left is dressed a little shabbily, he is young and promising, and he is tall and straight. He is a warrior at first glance. He has a straight body and a tough temperament. The Qu Ru he is holding is even more popular among spiritual beasts. There are rare treasures, full of spiritual energy, which make people marvel.

Look at Shangguan Baisheng standing on the right. He looks tired at a young age. He feels weak after standing for a while. His face is painted in wax and his body is thin. At first glance, he looks like a man who often wanders around and spends time and wine. All these dandy boys are like this. His eyes are dull and his hands are weak.

At this moment, Shangguan Baisheng was playing Haqie and drifting for a few seconds. His attitude was that he didn't take the game seriously.

With such a huge difference in strength, in Jinrui's opinion, is there any point in continuing this kind of competition? As long as Zhao Yide is willing, Qu Ru will rush up and swallow that number in one bite, just like playing!
  There were many participating officials who were watching, and they didn't mind the excitement, and some of them made sarcastic remarks on the side——

"That's Bai Shengbeizi's spirit beast horse? It's really better to see it than to hear it. It's said that Nasus is a treasure~ From this point of view, it is a rare treasure~ Hahahaha~"

The sarcastic words all over the sky penetrated into Bai Shengbeizi's ears, but he didn't care at all, still playing Haqie boredly, not looking at Zhao Yide seriously, and hummed: "Hurry up! Hurry up! The battle will be decided quickly... I'm trapped, so it's enough to drag him over early in the morning to participate in this competition!"

Zhao Yide was very embarrassed. He looked at those figures and then looked at his own humiliation, and cursed in his heart——

How can I fake losing? Is this for fun? Is the opponent so weak? I thought this imperial aristocrat was so powerful, but... was this spirit beast kept as a pet?

"Hey, hey, have you seen it? Is the spirit beast in the boy's hand Qu Ru? This is a spiritual beast that has not been seen for a hundred years. What is the origin of that boy?"

"Tch~ don't you know? The ninth-grade Sesame Official of Huixian County is just a small county magistrate——"

"How did a county magistrate get such a good spirit beast?! What kind of fate is this! This spirit beast is placed in the hands of a person like him and overqualified for its use!"

"People are cheap and spiritual beasts are expensive. Who does this kid think he is? Even though the spiritual beast in Bai Shengbeizi's hands is a medical spiritual beast, Bai Shengbeizi has a strong backing~ I can't believe that a little county magistrate is still here You dare to challenge the majestic Lord Chengyang! So what if you have this excellent spirit beast? In the hands of such a person, you are nothing but a waste!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yide's face was livid. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and gritted his cheeks, and tightened his grip on his birth. He was a bit humble, but he wouldn't let others talk about it like this. Could it be that people from a small place have such low self-esteem? Do you want to be pushed to the ground and rubbed?
  Jin Rui also heard the discussion outside the court, and he felt a little sorry for this tough guy on the court. He was obviously a capable person, but because he had a low official position and no background, he had to let others talk to him like this?
  Probably feeling a bit of sympathy for each other, Jinrui became more optimistic about and felt sorry for Zhao Yide.

However, no matter how optimistic I am, it is in vain. My identity is a referee. Once the game starts, my duty is to referee impartially without any personal will.

Jin Rui didn't know how much he encouraged Zhao Yide. If the competition allowed it, Jin Rui would hate it.

He couldn't rush forward and drag Zhao Yide with him to beat the Shangguan in vain. He vented out all the grievances he had suffered in the Quan clan these days. No matter what, Jin Rui was still very optimistic about Zhao Yide. He raised his hand to the sky, slashed his hand, and ordered him——

"Game start!"

Zhao Yide stood motionless on the spot, his face was livid, and he was having a fierce ideological struggle. His self-esteem and his future were competing like never before. At this moment, he was unprecedentedly entangled.

If he loses the game, he will be injured by Duke Chengyang. It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. This is the best opportunity for him to be promoted to Chengyang Mansion. This is the opportunity that he spent all his wealth to get. Can it really be wasted like this?
  But when I think about it, if I lose in public, my face and dignity will be completely lost...

It's... I brought this opportunity to myself, but I don't want to lose my reputation and character? In order to follow the trend, is it really okay for me to have people push me down on the ground and whip me?

While Zhao Yide was struggling painfully, Shangguan Baisheng hit him again. His body was crumbling. He turned his head and stared in confusion, flicked Shusi's foot, and Shusi flew out.

After fluttering its wings a few times, it flew several times to Qu Ru's head. It fell down and kept pecking at Qu Ru's head. For such a giant creature like Qu Ru, this was a painless feeling.

Qu Ru shook his head irritably and hissed in protest. However, his master did not give orders and he did not dare to act rashly. He could only silently endure the trouble of being harassed by a bird.

Zhao Yide lowered his head and thought hard, his face becoming more and more confused. Should he want face or a future?
  If you lose face, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to return to the position of county magistrate in the future——

But if I want a future, I will always be that villain with no dignity and no bottom line in the officialdom. Is this kind of life what I want?
  Just when Zhao Yide was struggling in pain, Qu Ru couldn't bear it anymore, opened his mouth and bit the number into his mouth.

The others screamed in shock. They never thought that a small county magistrate could be so bold. Did he really dare to offend the Chengyang Lord's Mansion?

Seeing this, the most surprised person should be Shangguan Baisheng, the owner of Nashu Si. However, he had an attitude that it had nothing to do with him and started a series of haha ​​fights.

Shangguan Baisheng slapped his mouth and laughed, and even laughed——

"Hahaha~ It's finally over, I lost! Master, I admit defeat~ The game is over, and the referee can decide the winner~~"

Jin Rui was also very surprised. He never thought that Shangguan Baisheng was really a person who didn't care. Such a big thing was not painful for others. What on earth did this game mean to him?
  When Zhao Yide heard the uproar in the audience, he slowly came back to his senses. He was shocked to see that his own spirit beast was holding the spirit beast of Little Beile in its mouth. What stupid things had he done?

At this time, Zhao Yide realized that he was nervous and hurriedly slapped Qu Ru on the back and ordered him to spit out the number!
  Qu Ru glanced sideways at Zhao Yide, took a sip impatiently, and spat out the number on the ground...
