Carefree Scholar Chapter 1165: I admit defeat!

"Everyone who can pass the literary test and the first half of the martial arts test, standing here, are all the leaders of my younger generation in Jingguo..."

According to the usual practice, before starting the final session, an official from the Ministry of Etiquette is required to give a stylized speech.

Li Yi has not seen the official of the Ministry of Rites. He glanced around just now. There are many old faces, but more new faces.

He has been away for five years. I don't know how many officials in the court have moved up and down. The gazes of the surrounding officials and dignitaries swept over him and returned, but there were two eyes that were always on him.

That is two eyes in the same direction.

Holding a high position for a long time, there is already a trace of supreme majesty on Mingzhu's body. This kind of majesty is absent from Li Xuan, who is so careless.

All the youthfulness and immaturity can't be seen on Shou Ning's face. She wore a palace dress and sat beside Mingzhu, her eyes kept looking in this direction.

Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Shouning and Mingzhu, and asked: "Why are you not in a hurry, do you know something?"

No one answered him.

The official of the Ministry of Rites has said to the end: "The first half of the martial arts test is over. In the second half of the martial arts test, Princess Shouning will test your school in person..."

What was done just now was only in the first half of the martial arts test. Only after passing the first half did you have a chance to accept the test of Princess Shouning.

The test of the princess is very simple. The one who can beat her is the consort.

If no one wins, or if multiple people win, the two empress dowagers and the concubine must make a joint decision.

Shou Ning walked down from above, holding a sword in one hand.

A young man in the crowd walked to the temple, held a long knife in his hand, saluted her respectfully, and said: "Your Royal Highness, offended!"

Among the courtiers, there was a whisper.

"I am a junior of the Zheng family. No wonder I can break through two levels and stand here."

"The generation of the Zheng family has a literary and military talent."

"I don't know if he can beat the princess. If he can marry Princess Shouning, the Zheng family will be soaring, just around the corner..."

……

While the officials were talking in low voices, the official of the Ministry of rites rang the gong to indicate the start of the competition.

The young man quickly drew his sword at the same moment the gong struck. When fighting for martial arts last year, he used three tricks to defeat the man-dressed Princess Shouning. During this year, he worked hard. After training hard, my strength has been greatly improved, and I think the outcome is between five and five.

Chang!

He draws the knife very fast, but Shouning is faster than him.

His knife was half drawn, and a white shadow flashed in front of him. When he recovered, a cold long sword had been placed on his neck.

Seeing this scene, a fat man who just sat up from the ground lay down again.

Among the nine people, several of them shuddered involuntarily and took a half step back.

"I..., I lost." The young man turned his head, looked at the long sword on his neck in disbelief, and said with difficulty.

Baiguan was also shocked.

Looking at this situation, these people who have finally passed the literary test may not pass the martial arts test of Princess Shouning at all.

The junior of the Zheng family is already a rare all-rounder in both civil and martial arts. A person like him can never achieve the ultimate in both civil and martial arts...

And he is already an outstanding leader among these ten people.

Shou Ning took back the long sword, threw the sword on the ground, and said, "Next."

After the official of the Ministry of Rites recovered, he immediately said: "The next one, Peng Er."

No one responded.

An **** walked over and took a look, and said, "Peng Er fainted."

People who fainted naturally could not compete with the princess, so they were treated as abstentions. The official of the Ministry of Rites crossed out Peng Er's name and said: "Next..."

"I abstain..." a young man hurriedly said: "Zai Xia is not the opponent of the princess, I abstain..."

Many of the people present shook their heads one after another.

If you are not an opponent, you are not an opponent, but if you don't even have the courage to make a move, you would be too timid.

This time, it's not just the selection of horsemen for Princess Shouning, but also officials of the DPRK and the Central Government, but also to see if there are people with both ability and political integrity among these people, and I can help them in the future...

Obviously, this young man's abstaining behavior has disappointed those who fancy him.

Above, watching those people who were eliminated by Shou Ning one after another, and when only two of them were left, the queen mother shook her head and said: "This kid..., you should have a martial arts test first, then a literary test, she and Mingzhu After so many years of practicing martial arts, how can these young juniors be her opponents?"

Beside her, Yan Fei smiled slightly and said: "This is not necessarily..."

Looking at those people being eliminated one after another by Princess Shouning using thunder, the official of the Ministry of Rites stood in the hall, showing helplessness, and said: "Next, Muzi."

Li Yi is not the last one. He doesn't know how the roster is ranked. There is one person behind him.

Shou Ning thought for a while, walked to the official of the Ministry of Rites, pointed to the last person, and said, "I will compare him first."

The official of the Ministry of Rites was taken aback, "Your Highness, this..."

"No way, right? No way, I won't be able to compare..."

"Yes, yes..." How dare this official of the Ministry of Rites say no, what is the difficulty of changing the order of the test? If your Royal Highness does not compare at this time, it will be a major mistake for the Ministry of Rites. He will not be rejected by Lord Shangshu afterwards. It’s only if you peel it...

He looked at the list again and said, "Next, Long Tao."

The courtiers didn't know what the princess and the official of the Ministry of Rites said. They were just a little strange about the sudden change of the order of the competition, and they didn't care.

The last young man who came up was a weak scholar. He looked at Shou Ning and said with a trembling voice: "Also, please show mercy to your Highness."

"I won't beat you!" Shou Ning thought for a while and said: "Or, you abstain..."

The expression on the young man's face became solemn, and he said: "Big man should rise to the challenge, how can he retreat in the face of difficulty, even if he is not the opponent of His Royal Highness, Long must try it."

The eyes of some people around me light up.

"It's a bit courage..."

"Knowing that you can't do it, not bad..."

"Although it is a glorious defeat, I don't know how much stronger than the previous ones..."

……

Shou Ning looked at him, nodded, picked up the long sword that was put down after the first game of the match, and said: "Then you can do it~ IndoMTL.com~ In order to respect you, I will not show mercy. ……"

The young man thought of the fate of those who had just been out, and then looked at the sword she was holding, and his heart trembled.

The next moment, his face showed firmness and strode up to meet him.

What about failure, shrinking from fear is more ashamed than failure!

Puff!

Suddenly, he fell under his feet and fell to the ground.

He hugged his ankle, with cold sweat on his forehead, "Foot, my ankle is broken..."

Contestant No. 9 was lifted down for treatment because of his accidentally crippled ankle. When he was lifted, he was still disappointed. If it weren't for crippled ankle, I would never back down.

So far, among the ten people, only one person named Muzi remains.

Of course, this does not mean that he is a messenger. If he fails to pass the princess of Shouning, like those before, there is no difference between the fate of those before.

The people who have been eliminated can't help but look at him.

As long as he loses, they still have a chance.

The official of the Ministry of Rites cleared his throat and said, "Next, Muzi."

Li Yi took a few steps forward and stood in the hall, looking at the woman on the opposite side.

Shou Ning was also looking at him, her expression was a little lost, and she stood dazedly.

She just looked at it.

For a long time, the official of the Ministry of Rites walked to Shou Ning, cleared his throat, and whispered: "Princess, the competition has already begun..."

Shou Ning retracted her gaze and nodded.

He held a long sword in his hand and strode towards the hall.

Suddenly her feet shook, her body shook, and the long sword in her hand was thrown on the ground by her.

"My ankle..." She stabilized her figure, limped to Li Yi's side, raised her head, mist filled her eyes, and said, "I admit defeat."
