Seeing that the Battle Poetry Meet was about to start, and there was still no sign of Guan Yan Qing, Guan Bao Tian was finally angered. He personally went to every nook and cranny in the city and finally brought back the hungover son of a pig.

This was no joke. This time, it was the emperor himself who was making the decision. He did not want to be the butler because of his son's absence! Now that the steward was free, he could not take any more hardships!

On the day of the poetry battle, there was an unprecedented flow of people in the Tiantai Mountain Range.

However, none of the young, old, and men who came to attend the competition did not feel that this was unusual!

Because, even if the crowd was more than three times larger than in the past, there was no reason why even an overcrowded Tian Tai Mountain would not be able to make it in. Instead, it was an orderly and orderly situation!

The officials had set up no less than ten tables at the entrance of the mountain. Each table had an official in charge of receiving the people who passed by.

Anyone who wanted to enter the mountain had to fill out a strange form here. According to what everyone had filled out, they would be led to the designated area by an officer after gathering a hundred people.

As a result, Tiantai Mountain was divided into countless different functional regions.

There were viewing regions, competition regions, scoring regions, logistics regions, and so on.

Everyone in the viewing gallery had a small Mazar. Before entering, they each had a cup of tea and received one or two taels of silver. From time to time, there would be messengers from the soldiers shuttling back and forth between the competition area and the viewing area, reporting the latest developments.

The people all felt that it was outrageous to charge a tael of silver for a cup of tea and a small Mazar! But they had all come from afar, how could they not investigate the latest developments and return home!

Thus, although the spectators' faces were filled with pain, they still paid the taels of silver in anticipation.

The situation in the competition area was much more complicated than in the viewing area.

This year's competition was not limited to just Fang Cai, but the competition area as well. Every competition area had a rule, and that was the challenge!

Each participant drew lots of lots. After the first person finished displaying their skills, the second person began challenging the other. If one won, then the second person would sit on the stage. And so on.

If one felt that they could not surpass the former, the contestant could choose to forfeit.

There was also another rule, which was that everyone who wanted to participate must pay a registration fee of three taels of silver! If he could win the finals and get the top three, three taels of silver would be worth it! If he lost, then he would be very embarrassed, and the registration fee would go to the organizers!

In order to be fair, those who obtained the top three ranks would also be rewarded with a hundred silver, eighty silver, and fifty silver taels!

Therefore, under the stimulation of gold and silver, the competition in every competition area was extremely intense!

Different from the display of the skills of the competition, is the test of the literary competition.

Because the top scholar of Qingcheng, Su Zhiyang, was present, the citizens were paying more attention to this competition area than the others.

However, what was shocking was that this year's poetry battle had abolished the rule of determining the victor through a single piece of writing that had been used for many years, and had changed the topic to the Imperial Protector's wife.

Other than the lack of enthusiasm from the citizens of the Golden Kingdom, the enthusiasm for gossip had reached an unprecedented level! Ever since the Imperial Protector's wife had come to the Kingdom of Jin, the events that had happened in the Imperial Court had been spread by the people. The Imperial Protector's wife, Guan Xiaoyu, had instantly transformed into a myriad of images, deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Jin.

However, when the white-robed, fairy-like Guan Xiaoyu walked past the crowd, the image of the Imperial Protector's wife shattered in their hearts …

The heck! This was clearly a fairy! A fairy! Who was it that made the Protector of the Kingdom look like an old witch!

Guan Xiao Yu pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, since that's the case, then let's begin the competition!" I believe you already know that this year is different from the previous years before you came to participate in this year's Arena Poetry Meet. As only this project will be used in the previous competition, everyone will definitely think that our Literature team will follow the rules. Before the competition starts, I might as well tell everyone clearly that this year's competition is much simpler and more straightforward than any previous year! "

At this point, Guan Xiao Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "Next, let me announce the rules of this competition! First of all, it was the quantity. There were only three questions to answer in this competition. Second, was time. The time allotted for this competition is a quarter of an hour per small question. Finally, he had to submit the paper and read it. There will be a few examiners responsible for collecting your answers in this competition. After the time for answering each question is up, all of you must hand in your answers.

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd went into an uproar.

To be able to compete in the poetry contest's literary talent group, not a single one of them weren't confident in their own talents. No one knew how many literary talents of various sizes had competed with each other, but none of them had ever heard of Guan Xiaoyu's so-called rules!

Some young masters of the poor families could no longer hold back and shouted, "Madam! We have all paid a high fee to enter the examination. If you intentionally come up with a difficult question to trouble us, then all of our silver would have gone down the drain! "

Seeing that someone was getting anxious, Guan Xiaoyu picked up the wood in front of her and slapped it a few times. "Don't worry!" I, Guan Xiaoyu, have only ever used a servant. I definitely wouldn't do those petty tricks just because I want to earn some money from you! Listen carefully, the competition rules for this group are the same as for the other groups. The top three teams will receive 100 taels of silver, 80 taels of silver, and 50 taels of silver each! As long as you can get into the top three, no matter what your background is, my Golden Kingdom will definitely give you a hand! "

When everyone heard Guan Xiaoyu's explanation, their hearts sank back into their stomachs.

When the poor family's young masters heard this, they began to calculate in their hearts. If they could win the championship, the reward of a hundred silver taels would be enough to last them a year!

When the richer young masters heard this, they all rushed to 'entrust' him with a heavy responsibility!

Only the first and second seats under the main platform remained unmoved.

These two people were the number one genius of Qingcheng, Su Zhiyang, and the only son of Qingcheng's wealthiest man, Guan Yanqing.

The reason why Su Zhiyang hadn't moved at all was because he was confident. On the other hand, Guan Yan Qing did not move at all. That was the same as she did not hear anything! Due to being too afraid to participate in this poetry battle, that kid had been drinking wine for several days. At this moment, he was having a beautiful dream sleep with his dead pig eyes.

Under the eager stares of the crowd, Guan Yan Qing, who was sitting at the side, was like a javelin! He was drooling and snoring at the same time.

On the main platform, Guan Xiaoyu began to recite the questions. "The first question." Ten oil lamps were lit on the table. Someone had blown out one of them. Please give the correct answer and write out the instructions within a quarter of an hour! Countdown officer, begin the countdown! Recruitment officer, please prepare to receive your paper! "

Below, the scholars who had bragged about their literary talent were all stunned when they heard Guan Xiaoyu reciting the questions. Then they asked, "That's not right!" "We are taking the Literature test. Madam, why are you testing us using arithmetic?"

Guan Xiaoyu didn't reply to his question. Instead, she smiled and pointed to the hourglass that had begun dripping sand.

When the scholars saw the sand at the bottom of the hourglass, they were once again shocked. They did not dare to be distracted, so they lowered their heads and began writing on the paper.

When the quarter-hour was up, Guan Xiaoyu's hand slapped the wood. The examiners quickly moved, presenting their answers to Guan Xiaoyu.

Guan Xiaoyu continued, "Next, please listen to the second question." The question was: Can you turn ice into water as quickly as possible? Please give the correct answer and write out the instructions within a quarter of an hour! Countdown officer, begin the countdown! Recruitment officer, please prepare to receive your paper! "

When this question was asked, none of the scholars below the stage had any more questions.

What a joke, they didn't even have enough time to answer such a difficult question. If they were to delay for a few more questions, they would have to hand in their answer scrolls just like in the first question …

After another quarter-hour passed, Guan Xiaoyu's hands began to clap on the wood. The examiners began to move quickly, and the second question of the contestants was presented to Guan Xiaoyu.

Guan Xiaoyu continued, "Next, please listen to the second question." The title was: Ah Mao's mother has three sons, the eldest son is Big Mao, the second son is Er Mao, the third son is what? Please give the correct answer and write out the instructions within a quarter of an hour! Countdown officer, begin the countdown! Recruitment officer, please prepare to receive your paper! "

Thus, after another quarter-hour passed, Guan Xiaoyu's hands began to clap, and the examiners began to move quickly. The three questions of the geniuses were all presented in front of Guan Xiaoyu.

Guan Xiaoyu was in no hurry to flip through the answers given by the scholars. Instead, she picked up the pen on the table and began writing quickly. A moment later, a standard answer appeared on the paper.

The answer to the first question was written: "Ten lamps were lit on the table, one of them was blown out, only ten were left!" Why? Because the lamp had only been blown out, it had not been taken away or damaged. The answer to the second question was: I could melt the ice into water as quickly as possible, and just wipe off the two drops of water in front of the word 'ice'. The answer to the third question was: Since it was the mother of Ah Mao, then the third child would undoubtedly be Ah Mao!

Once the standard answers for these three questions were written, the various scholars and examiners glanced at them!

Oh my god! The reply given by this Imperial Protector's wife was too shocking!

However, she added a description to each of the answers. After her explanation, everyone was suddenly enlightened!

In the face of her answer, people thought it was ridiculous, but after taking a closer look at the taste, they thought, "Oh, no!" The most reasonable answer would be the one she gave!

For a moment, the expression she threw at the Imperial Protector's wife became complicated! Some admired him, while others disapproved.

In any case, the image of the Imperial Protector's wife had already sped away from her former fairy status onto the road of wisdom and mannerism. And never to return.

The examinees' answers were divided into three by question marks, which were given by the three reading officials according to the standard answers given by Guan Xiaoyu. Guan Xiaoyu, on the other hand, paced back and forth between them as they read the papers, checking to see if they were cheating.

The score was quickly typed out, and then the total score for each of the three questions was calculated.

The most famous scholar of Qingcheng, Su Zhiyang, had scored a zero in the previous exam and answered two wrong questions! In the end, the dignified number one scholar of Qingcheng, Su Zhiyang, ended up with a score of zero!

As for Guan Yanqing, who was in the second tier, she had been tricked into giving him the correct answer for the last question because she did not know how to do it.

Thus, the number one genius of Qingcheng, Su Zhiyang, sat on the throne of Qingcheng's number one fool with a look of shame on his face!

When the order of rankings was announced, the top three in the low-key rankings were joyful, and Su Zhiyang, who had fallen off the leaderboard, was on the verge of going berserk!

"NO!" This was impossible! Again! I want to do it again! The question set by the Imperial Protector's wife was too bizarre, and it was not something learned by scholars! This is simply a joke in the Jin Kingdom's annual battle poem competition! " Su Zhiyang lost his composure and slammed the table as he roared.

Of course, this young master who had enjoyed the honor of Qingcheng's top scholar would definitely not be able to bear the difference!

The difference between first place and last place was huge! Not to mention that this kind of situation had appeared on the arrogant and lovable Su Zhiyang. His unwillingness to accept defeat could not be underestimated.
