Chapter 666: Insults Hurt, but the Truth Is the Sharpest Knife! Listen to Liu and Tell You a Big Talk!

Two days later.

Daqin Military Academy.

Xiao He replaced the pen in his hand with an unopened wooden spear, and the location changed from the examination room to the battlefield.

Opposite Xiao He, there stood a tall and strong middle-aged man with a lot of vicissitudes of life!

"Hah!"

With a low shout, Xiao He thrust out the spear in his hand.

But just as the tip of the spear slid halfway, another spear was lifted up sideways and met the spear in Xiao He's hand from the side.

"Bang~"

A huge force came, and the spear in Xiao He's hand deviated uncontrollably to the side.

Taking advantage of Xiao He's wide-open opportunity, another spear had already driven straight in and finally reached Xiao He's neck!

Xiao He was defeated miserably after just one fight!

Su Jiao shouted without hesitation: "Mr. Jiang Zan, win!"

Xiao He couldn't help but clench the spear in his hand, and finally sighed helplessly.

Xiao He studied law books since he was a child, and he had no doubt that he would embark on the path of becoming an official.

Unexpectedly, he was deducted points for his martial arts.

Who in a serious country would test martial arts when selecting officials?

Seeing Xiao He's bleak face, Jiang Zan said softly: "Mr. Xiao, you seem to have never killed an enemy?"

Xiao He raised his head and forced a smile: "Indeed."

"Sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Zan said with emotion: "What's there to laugh about?"

"If one day everyone in the world can be as old as Mr. Xiao and have never killed an enemy, then Jiang will laugh heartily!"

Jiang Zan's eyes were a little out of focus, obviously recalling the past when he followed Lu Buwei to travel around the world and fought against bandits and robbers at a young age.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Jiang Zan said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Xiao is in his prime and strong, and it's not that he has never practiced martial arts."

"It's just that he has never killed an enemy, so he hesitated and restrained his strength when stabbing people with his spear."

"Jiang thinks that Mr. Xiao can start by hunting wild animals to practice courage, or even directly join the Qin army."

"In this way, you can practice courage and get a title."

"When the imperial examination is held in the future, Mr. Xiao will naturally get a good ranking."

Xiao He bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Just as Jiang Zan was about to respond, a gust of wind blew past Xiao He and Jiang Zan.

Jiang Zan and Xiao He turned their heads subconsciously and saw a young man running wildly, turning back and shouting from time to time: "Come on! Chase me!"

"If your short legs catch up with me, I will let you three moves, no problem!"

"Hey! I can't stab you, I can't stab you!"

Seeing Liu Ji twisting his butt while running and turning back to provoke him from time to time, Qu Bi glared and yelled: "That's his mother! Don't run!"

Ying He followed the two men with big strides, and immediately heard this. He shouted: "Humiliating others in public and speaking foul language shall be punished by ten strokes of the cane and a fine of one hundred coins according to the law!"

"After the imperial examination, the court will judge the crime!"

Qu Bi looked back in shock, looked at Ying He in disbelief and asked: "When this person humiliated me, you did not punish him."

"Now I just talked back, and I am going to be punished?"

Ying He said seriously: "This person did not speak foul language, and Mr. Qu's legs are indeed not long."

"This person just told the facts."

Qu Bi was almost furious!

Insults hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife!

Qu Bi said angrily: "Then this person ran around at will and did not fight with me. Isn't it against the law?"

Ying He still looked serious: "In the examination room rules issued before the exam, you did not prohibit gentlemen from walking around at will during the battle in the martial arts field."

"What Mr. Liu Ji did was not against the rules."

Qu Bi clenched his spear, and anger rose in his heart.

But facing this general of the Qin royal family who had led 2,000 Qin troops to resist the strong attack of 20,000 Chu troops at the battlefield of Xishan, Echeng, Qu Bi could only endure it no matter how dissatisfied he was.

Ying He looked at Liu Ji again: "It is not against the rules to run around, but I will deduct your points for this."

"You should think deeply about the gains and losses!"

Liu Ji saw at a glance that Ying He was also somewhat dissatisfied with him, and hurriedly bowed and smiled: "I understand."

"It's just some tactics, thank you for your help, General!"

Holding the spear tightly, Liu Ji shouted loudly: "You short legs, dare you fight me to the death!"

Qu Bi said angrily: "It's you..."

The dirty words were swallowed back in his stomach, and Qu Bi could only shout: "Come and fight!"

Although Qu Bi was not familiar with classics and mathematics was worrying, he was quite brave.

If placed on the battlefield, Qu Bi could also be regarded as a pioneer!

So Qu Bi's spear was as sharp and swift as an arrow, aiming at Liu Ji's throat steadily and accurately.

However, Liu Ji, who had been shouting "a fair fight to the death", suddenly pulled out his sword from his waist and threw it at Qu Bi.

Seeing this, Qu Bi looked cold: "A petty trick!"

With a flick of his spear, he deflected the sword thrown at him, then deflected the scabbard thrown at him, and finally deflected the sand thrown at him... Sand?

Liu Ji took advantage of Qu Bi's blocking opportunity to move forward quickly, stabbed the tip of his spear into the ground, and then suddenly lifted it up, bringing a handful of sand to Qu Bi's eyes.

How could sand be blocked by a spear? !

Qu Bi had to close his eyes.

However, just as Qu Bi closed his eyes, Ying He's voice reached Qu Bi's ears: "Liu Ji wins!"

Qu Bi quickly narrowed his eyes and saw that the gun in Liu Ji's hand had landed on Qu Bi's throat while he was not prepared!

Qu Bi's pupils shrank suddenly and he yelled: "You shameless villain!"

"You actually used such a sneaky trick to sneak up on me!"

Liu Ji, however, was not ashamed but proud and said with a smile: "But you were defeated by the shameless villain!"

"You are worse than a villain!"

Qu Bi could no longer suppress his anger, and he was about to fight again with a spear in his hand: "Er'an dares to insult my descendants of the Qu family like this!"

Ying He shouted coldly: "The victory or defeat has been decided."

"If we fight again, it will be considered a private fight and we will be punished!"

Seeing that Ying He had already grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, Qu Bi suddenly felt that his anger was not completely uncontrollable.

After giving Liu Ji a deep look, Qu Bi said in a deep voice, "Qu will remember this humiliation today!"

Seeing Qu Bi leave angrily, Liu Ji bowed his hands to Ying He and said, "Thank you, general, for speaking up!"

Although Liu Ji knew that Ying He was only acting in accordance with the law, he was still a little moved.

After all, the person opposite him was a son of the Qu family, but Liu Ji was just from an ordinary family!

Ying He glanced at Liu Ji: "Everything I said is true."

"His Qu family is nothing!"

"As for you? Although you have won this battle, I will truthfully report how you won."

Liu Ji was more magnanimous: "Liu knows that he can win without force. Whether he can win the respect of the nobles depends entirely on the nobles' will."

Ying He nodded slightly: "It's good if you have this intention."

"My last game is over. Just go to the sidelines to rest and wait for the door to open."

"Back off."

After Liu Ji bowed his hands and saluted, he quickly retreated, all the way to Xiao He - to be precise, Jiang Zan beside Xiao He.

Xiao He said speechlessly: "Although Brother Liu Xian won this time, there are some..."

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Shameless?"

Jiang Zan chuckled and said, "Smart and decisive!"

Liu Ji's behavior was very opportunistic and shameless, but Jiang Zan was not despicable.

Because when it comes to opportunism, no one in the world can compare with Lu Buwei!

Liu Ji looked at Jiang Zan in surprise and bowed his hands: "Brother Jiang understands me!"

Jiang Zan was speechless.

Still 'brother'?

Jiang is probably older than Naoweng!

Without waiting for Jiang Zan to refute, Liu Ji climbed up and said, "How did Brother Jiang do in this test?"

Jiang Zan nodded casually: "It's acceptable."

Asking Jiang Zan to take the imperial examination is equivalent to asking the professor to take the junior high school exam. It is a pure dimensionality reduction attack.

Liu Ji slapped his mouth: "Liu can't do it."

"The Ming Lv Ke is so complicated, and I don't know how much Liu got it right."

"The last question in the policy theory section was answered by Liu, who said that monarchs should focus on selecting talents and appointing capable people without paying attention to details."

"You don't need to know the soldiers better than the generals, but you must know the generals better than the generals!"

"I guess it's going to happen!"

Jiang Zan looked at Liu Ji more carefully: "Looking at the king's actions, I'm afraid the king has no such intention."

Liu Ji said with a grimace: "Liu also knows!"

"But Liu's head was hot when he was answering the paper, so he wrote down his thoughts without paying attention. He wanted to revise it but ran out of time."

"I don't know if the king will depose Liu because of this question!"

After Jiang Zan pondered for a few breaths, he suddenly smiled: "I wonder what Mr. Liu thinks of the general trend of the world?"

Liu Ji immediately became interested.

If you want to talk about political details with Liu, you will have to reveal Liu's secrets after talking for a few words.

But why don't you chat with Liu? Talk about the general trend?

Come!

Listen to Mr. Liu bragging to you... Um, no, listen to Mr. Liu to brag to you all over the world!

Liu Ji spoke confidently and high-spirited: "I see that in today's world, except for the Qin Dynasty, everyone is a chicken and a dog!"

One person is determined to test and teach, and the other person is interested in flattery.

Jiang Zan clearly left the stage with Xiao He, but his chat with Liu Ji became more and more heated.

Until the drum beat loudly and the gate of the military academy opened, Jiang Zan was still walking and chatting with Liu Ji.

But a burst of shouting attracted Jiang Zan's attention.

"What are you going to do!"

"I have never violated the rules in the examination room, why are you arresting me?"

"Let go, is this how Erqin treats the talented people who come all the way to Qin to participate in the imperial examination!"

I saw two thousand-man military formations standing neatly outside the gate of the military school.

Looking at his armor, he turned out to be a palace guard!

Qu Bi and more than a hundred of the Chu people's children were pushed to the ground and tied with ropes without mercy by the soldiers under Ying Cheng's command.

The remaining candidates did not dare to walk out of the school gate when they saw this, but looked at the famous and powerful general warily.

Ying Chengyu glanced down at Qu Bi and the others, then looked at the other candidates, and said in a deep voice: "Our Great Qin welcomes talented people from all over the world to work in Qin."

"But I, the Qin Dynasty, cannot tolerate injustices such as bullying the emperor and violating laws!"

"Qu Bi and one hundred and twenty-six other gentlemen are suspected of colluding with court officials and obtaining test questions in advance. We, the Qin Dynasty, will strictly investigate and make the verification results public to the world as soon as possible."

"Justice to all gentlemen!"

The remaining candidates breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Qu Bi and others with a bit more disgust.

Liu Ji's eyes flashed, he carefully slipped to Qu Bi's side, and spat forcefully:

"Pooh!"

"Fraudy little short legs!"
