The competition process is quite exciting. After all, those who can be selected by Xiao Jingshao will never be incompetent. Everyone looks up in the capital, but they will be embarrassed if they lose. Even if they don’t care about face, the elders at home will not let them go.

Among these people, the least favored people are Shang Qiao and Jun Nanyan. Jun Nanyan is too young and not many people take him seriously. Although there are three playboys who have been beaten up, the beaten people will not take the initiative to promote the beating. As for Shang Qiao, although he is Nangong Mo's apprentice, most people agree that he studied study and power and conspiracy with the Crown Princess. After all, the Crown Princess was also a powerful figure who governed the area with his own strength. Although Shang Qiao was also the adopted son of General Shang, he ended up going to take the imperial examination and became a civil servant. People also agreed that he was a literati.

Emperor Taichu did not specify how to compete, so there was a big fight from the beginning. Except for Qin Lang who withdrew early, all the remaining nine people entered the field and chose their opponents freely, and they fought until the opponent admitted defeat or fell to the ground. In the end, three people were left to enter the final round of the assessment of the prince and the princess.

At the beginning, Shang Qiao and Jun Nanyan were targeted. Everyone understood the principle of picking soft persimmons. Of course, they first sent these two guys who didn't seem to be able to play, and then they would compete to avoid them from getting in the way.

So, when a young man punched Jun Nanyan with a fierce punch, his fist stopped less than two inches from Jun Nanyan's face. What forced him to stop was a pair of hands that were not wide or thick that pinched his wrist. The shock and depression in his heart were imaginable.

The boy tried hard to pull back his hand, but the hand holding his wrist seemed like an iron pliers that made him unable to move or even ached.

"you?!"

Jun Nanyan used a little force to throw the boy out. Seeing that the person next to him immediately surrounded him.

This kid looks thin and he is actually a tough guy? Let's go together!

Ordinary people cannot bring weapons when entering the palace. Jun Nanyan didn't care about breaking a branch in the flowerbed behind him and slapped at the person who was rushing towards him. The flexible branches were soft and hard in his hands, sometimes like soft whips and sometimes like long swords. He swung freely and fought alone for several people, but he didn't feel that he was unable to meet his strength at all.

The other side is much more harmonious. Chen Yunzhen and Zhu Peng looked at Shang Qiao standing opposite him with his hands behind his back and asked embarrassedly: "Brother Shang, you see you are..."

Shang Qiao glanced at the person standing in front of him and said gently: "Young Master Chen, Mr. Zhu, please."

Zhu Peng smiled and said, "Brother Shang, we are all our own people, just let us just have a moment." It means, just go through the motions, just let you see the opportunity and lie down by yourself.

Shang Qiao did not object, but just said, "Please."

Zhu Peng and Chen Yunzhen believed that they had reached an agreement with Shang Qiao, and they looked at each other and rushed towards Shang Qiao. The posture was very strong, but only he knew how strong it was. If both of them could not defeat Shang Qiao, then they would obviously be very useless, and Your Majesty would definitely look down on them. As for the family... they had reached a consensus long ago that the Zhu family and the Chen family did not need to marry the future princess to consolidate their relationship with His Royal Highness and the Emperor Changsun.

But soon, the two of them knew they were wrong.

Shang Qiao looked like he was indeed a scholar, but he... After all, he was trained by Nangong Mo and Shang Rong himself. Sometimes Wei Junmo would teach him a little bit. So if it was just a lunar kung fu, Shang Qiao was no less than any young master of his generation. Even... stronger!

"Oh! Brother Shang, you're really playing!" Zhu Peng was accidentally slapped on his shoulder with a palm, and his whole arm was numb.

Shang Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly and did not answer. The two people who were originally thinking about doing things quickly cheered up. They couldn't help but cheer up, because Shang Qiao's strength was really beyond their expectations, and he took action quickly, accurately and ruthlessly without any mercy. If he still wanted to hide his weakness, he would wait for the ugly things to be cleaned up.

Although Jun Nanyan and Shang Qiao were besieged, the one who was extremely distressed was the one who besieged them. On one side, the people secretly regretted that they had chosen the wrong persimmon. On the other side, the people secretly hated that they had known each other for so many years, but they didn't expect that Shang Qiao was still a person who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.

These two people seemed to have forgotten that Shang Qiao had accompanied Yaoyao in his early years. He wouldn't have asked Yaoyao to protect him, right?

The melee lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour, and the onlookers watched with relish and cheered. In the end, the only people who could stand were Jun Nanyan. Shang Qiao and Zhu Peng, who were not lucky enough to fall down. Zhu Peng looked at the two standing in a confused look, and then looked at Chen Yunzhen lying at his feet: Why don’t you lie too clearly?

Zhu Peng laughed dryly, took a rational step back and said that he was satisfied with being the third. The first and second were handed over to these two great gods to compete for. Although he had never fought with Jun Nanyan, he could only see how fierce this new friend of Yaoyao was. He didn't want to steal his wife, so why did he send it to him for nothing?

Yaoyao, who was sitting on it, looked at Shang Qiao and Jun Nanyan in a daze.

What kind of development is this? Is she going to marry Zhu Peng?

Nangong Mo knocked the handrail casually with his fingers and said lightly: "If A Qiao gives in, Mr. Jun will be the first. I heard that his score in the literary exam is not bad. Yaoyao, do you want A Qiao to give in?"

Yaoyao only felt that her heart suddenly beating faster, and her mind was in chaos.

If Brother Aqiao withdrew, would she be happy?

"Young Master Jun."

"Mr. Shang."

A handsome young man and a cold young man stood opposite each other and nodded to each other.

Shang Qiao looked calm, but his heart was not very calm. He knew in his heart that as long as he took a step back like Zhu Peng, the master and the prince would never mention this matter again. At this point, whether he lost or directly admitted defeat, it would not be considered embarrassing. It should have been the best of both worlds, but the backing legs could not move no matter what.

When did he start? He had a luxury in his heart?

"Mr. Shang, please."

"Please." Shang Qiao said.

Two swords were thrown over from the side, and both of them reached out to catch the long sword, with a stern light.

Shang Qiao learned from Nangong Mo and Shang Rong since he was a child. Nangong Mo's martial arts quickly won with his cleverness and sharpness, while Shang Rong, as a general, won with courage. Shang Qiao was able to perfectly integrate the two into one style. Although he is still not at the peak of his current age, he will definitely be able to become a family in his own right after life. Unfortunately, Shang Qiao's ambition is not here, and it is destined to be difficult to reach the realm of a top master in this life.

But that's all.

Although Jun Nanyan has a lot of knowledge and has received guidance from a famous teacher since childhood, he is a few years younger than Shang Qiao. He has been bedridden in the past two years. Although his internal strength is strong, he cannot take up too much advantage.

If the group fighting just now is just a skill of fist and foot, then it is a real master's fight. I saw the sword energy in the field and the sword light was fierce. The two bodies were agile and sharp, and they refused to give in to each other. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of moves had passed.

Emperor Taichu looked at Wei Junmo and his wife sitting aside, raised his eyebrows and said, "That young man is the young master of Zhuque City that Yaoyao met when he went out this time?"

Wei Junmo nodded, and Emperor Taichu said, "He has such skills at such a young age, and he is indeed extraordinary. If he joins the army, he is probably a powerful general."

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "Father, the Lord of Zhuque City only has such a son. What should I do if I ask you to arrest him and join the army and join the army?"

Emperor Taichu was just a love man, but he didn't really think about it. After all, there are no shortage of famous generals in the court now, and there are many young generations with abilities.

"Your disciple is not bad. I thought he was a civil servant." Emperor Taichu said.

Nangong Mo said, "Did your father forget that General Shang Rong is still his adoptive father? Even if I am determined to train him into a literary man, General Shang can't explain it." Emperor Taichu shook his head, and then looked at Zhu Peng with great enthusiasm. The boys of the Zhu family are not bad, but they are not as good as Shang Qiao and Jun Nanyan. Besides, he took the initiative to give in and said that he was self-aware, but he was also unwilling to marry the princess at all?

The royal princess has no worries about marrying her. No matter how anxious Emperor Taichu is, he will never marry his granddaughter to someone who doesn't want to marry her.

The showdown in the field continued, and the expressions on Shang Qiao and Jun Nanyan's faces became more serious. The moves of the attack became more and more fierce. Nangong Mo, who was sitting on it, gradually frowned, and Yaoyao also became a little nervous. He grabbed Nangong Mo's hand and whispered: "Mom..."

Nangong Mo held his daughter's hand and patted her, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's okay." He looked at Wei Junmo with his head in a sideways. Wei Junmo nodded slightly and said that he didn't worry.

The long sword in Jun Nanyan's hand stabbed Shang Qiao again. Shang Qiao directly met without dodging, but the sword in his hand followed him forward. The moment the two swords hit, both of them were shaking their hands. The eyes looked at each other a little more surprised. Obviously, they didn't expect that the other party's strength was so strong.

But even so, no one gave in.

The two figures intertwined and separated in an instant, and then there was a more intense battle.

"Ah?!" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

Both swords stabbed each other's heart, with an indomitable momentum.

With a whoosh, a light sound broke through the air, and an invisible energy hit Shang Qiao's sword. Shang Qiao's sword edge hit Jun Nanyan's two swords and landed on the ground.

There was a quiet silence in front of the palace. It took a long time to hear Wei Junmo say lightly: "Go."

Shang Qiao looked down at the sword that landed on the ground, and then at his empty right hand. He almost couldn't stop just now... If he really hurt Jun Nanyan, Yaoyao would be guilty.

Jun Nanyan said in a deep voice: "I lost."

Wei Junmo's qi chose to hit Shang Qiao's sword first not just because of the locations of the two. However, if the prince did not take action, he would definitely be injured before Shang Qiao. Shang Qiao's sword was faster than him.

Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jun Nanyan, "Are you sure?"

Jun Nanyan was silent for a moment and nodded firmly.

A trace of praise flashed through Wei Junmo's eyes and nodded, "Okay, Shang Qiao is the first, Jun Nanyan is the second, and Zhu Peng is the third."

Emperor Taichu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. As for how to decide in the third round, it is the matter between the prince and the princess. Everyone performed very well today, and I feel comforted. Come and pass the order!"

Emperor Taichu announced the ranking of the literary test. It was not surprising that Shang Qiao was the first, Qin Lang was the second, and Jun Nanyan also ranked fifth. In addition, he announced the rewards to everyone. Several outstanding literary tests and those who performed well in the competition just now received a lot of rewards. Although the rest of the people did not reward, Emperor Taichu did not show any dissatisfaction after all, and praised them, and everyone was very satisfied.

After that, Emperor Taichu got up and returned to the palace. Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo naturally followed him and left Xiao Jingshao to deal with the subsequent matters. As for whom the final candidate for the county horse, it still needs to be decided by the prince and the princess. As for when these two people will decide, they are not allowed to control them.

Xiao Jingshao looked at Yaoyao running quickly towards Shang Qiao and Jun Nanyan, and touched his nose helplessly. He shrugged his shoulders and went to work. It is said that he is the most favored prince and grandson of the royal family, and this is indeed not wrong. But Xiao Jingshao occasionally felt that he was the most favored person. After all, he was valued, but he threw all the troublesome and tiring work for him. Where is Yaoyao like this? It is just that he is simply spoiled and felt comfortable.

"Brother A Qiao, Jun Nanyan, are you okay?"

Shang Qiao shook his head and smiled lightly, "It's okay, are you scared Yaoyao?"

Yaoyao said helplessly: "Why are you doing so seriously? Wouldn't it be enough to fool the emperor's grandfather? He can't tell. Look how smart Zhu Peng is."

Zhu Peng, who was standing aside, was speechless and quickly clarified: "Princess is clear, I dare not fool Your Majesty." Fooling the Emperor? That's a death sentence. He is not impatient to live yet.

Yaoyao rolled her eyes, "The emperor's grandfather is not so scrupulous. Did you leave without seeing the emperor's grandfather and didn't ask the result?"

Zhu Peng touched his nose and said in confusion: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Yaoyao made a face and didn't say anything. She couldn't say that the emperor's grandfather was angry because she decided to marry her, right? I probably didn't know why she was angry in the past two days and my parents could listen to her talking to An An. Of course, she was not so strict that she had to choose someone on the spot to marry him.

What's more, this is not harmful. It just so happens that the emperor's grandfather can see the strength of the young men in the capital.

"Jun Nanyan, are you okay?" Yaoyao asked.

Jun Nanyan smiled faintly, "It's okay, I'm not hurt."

Yaoyao nodded, "Okay, no one in the capital will dare to bully you again after today." Seeing Jun Nanyan's strength, those people would not rush to die as long as they had their brains.

"I have met the princess and Lord Shang." An eunuch hurried over and said respectfully.

When Yaoyao saw that it was someone next to the emperor's grandfather, she hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with the emperor's grandfather?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "Go back to the princess, Your Majesty has nothing to do. It was His Highness and the Crown Prince who ordered his servants to come and pass the message. His Highness and the Crown Prince have already left the palace. His Highness said, "Please ask Lord Shang, Mr. Jun, and Mr. Zhu to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion in three days."

Shang Qiao nodded, "Thank you, we understand."

The eunuch bowed and said, watching him walk away, Zhu Peng couldn't help but mutter, "I'm going too?"

Yaoyao glanced at her and said proudly: "You can not go."

Zhu Peng shook, feeling that Yaoyao looked bad, and quickly said attentively: "I'd better go, it's rare for His Royal Highness to summon him..."

Yaoyao snorted softly, "You know what you are." Shang Qiao had no choice but to curl himself into a ball of Zhu Peng, and said to Yaoyao: "Okay, don't always bully Mr. Zhu."

Yaoyao said, "I didn't bully him. Is it because he is guilty, okay?"

Shang Qiao was puzzled, "I feel guilty?"

Yaoyao raised her chin and looked at Zhu Peng, "Young Master Zhu, can I say it?"

Zhu Peng laughed dryly and said, "Princess, we are good brothers."

"Good brother?" Yaoyao said, "Good brother makes me take the blame every day and say I bully you?" What this guy is best at pretending to be cowardly.

Zhu Peng said flatteringly: "How can we be? What kind of friendship is ours? Those people are all slutty, so the princess doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as them!"

"..." Shang Qiao.

Yaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly: "Dare you say that my brother A Qiao is awkward?"

"..." Mr. Zhu was speechless and wanted to cry without tears. He looked at Qin Lang and Chen Yunzhen not far away for help.

Qin Lang looked up at the sky: The sky was so blue.

Chen Yunzhen looked down: This ant is very handsome.
