Chapter 141: Chapter 141-too awesome! Miracle of the third Battle!
Translator: 549690339
The second Battle had ended!
In the end, Jin Haibo still agreed to a draw.
After he calmed down, he knew that this was probably the best ending.
There were still twenty people left on his side, but they were all experts who were one in a hundred.
Uncle Black Tortoise’s side still had over seventy people left, and only five experts.
The strength of both sides could be said to be equal. If they really fought to the last moment, the result would be hard to say.
Normally, the palace of the Earl of Jinhai had a higher chance of winning. After all, the strength of these 20 experts was a bit higher.
However, in terms of morale, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was definitely higher.
Therefore, if they continued to fight, it was still unknown who would win.
And a draw was especially beneficial to the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
“Black Tortoise, Jinhai, do you two agree to a draw?” Uncle Wang Ning Qi asked.
Uncle Black Tortoise stepped out of the ranks and bowed,”agreed.”
“Agreed!” Jin Hai Bo also stepped out and bowed.
..................
In the estate of the count of Jinhai.
A group of influential people were already celebrating. Of course, there was also a taste of having survived a disaster.
The second Battle was a huge difference from what he had expected.
But at least he didn’t lose, right?
In the beginning, it really scared everyone out of their wits.
Who would have thought that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s new armor and weapons would be so powerful? it was a massacre.
Fortunately, Governor Zhang Ji had the foresight to let Jin Haibo pay a huge price to borrow Masters from all the families.
Otherwise, they would have lost completely. There was no need to compete in the third Battle, and they could just go home.
In that case, the losses would be incalculable.
Prince Tang Yun even felt a little fortunate because he was the one who saved the family and turned the tide.
Even though the palace of the Earl of Jinhai had a draw and a loss, in the eyes of many people, victory was right in front of them.
In the afternoon’s Wen battle, was there any suspense about Tang Yun’s instant defeat of Jin mucong, that trash?
There wasn’t!
Even if the sun really rose from the West, it would not be able to change this outcome.
After Tang Yun’s victory in the third Battle, he would directly add another battle tonight to determine the outcome in one fell swoop.
Count Black Tortoise against count Jin hai.
There was no suspense in this battle.
What should he say about uncle Black Tortoise?
To put it nicely, they were upright, determined, and tolerant.
To put it bluntly, he was old-fashioned and mediocre.
He was mediocre in all aspects.
He was above average in both literary and martial arts.
Among ordinary people, of course, it was very good, but among the noble circles, it was really a bit of a loss.
Therefore, many people laughed and said that Black Tortoise was a tortoise, and Jin Zhuo was the uncle Black Tortoise of the generation who looked the most like a tortoise.
Some people even joked that Jin mucong had the aura of Earl Jin Zhuo.
This meant that Jin mucong was a low-end version of the Black Tortoise Bo, Jin Zhuo.
To be honest, uncle Black Tortoise’s martial arts were very high.
Although his talent was average, he was diligent and persistent enough.
But unfortunately, he did not have the fortuitous encounter of hero Guo Jing, so the gap between his martial arts and Jin Hai Bo was really big.
Jin Hai Bo was an extreme person with a tough personality and sharp edges, the complete opposite of uncle Xuan Wu’s calm and steady personality.
Otherwise, he would not have risked universal condemnation and betrayed his own position to become the monarch’s knife.
Although Tang Lun liked to be pedantic, his literary talent was actually very ordinary. His martial Dao talent was very high.
Once it developed to the point where the battle between count Xuanwu and count Jinhai would decide the victor, then the Tang Clan would indeed win without a doubt.
Therefore, this group of influential people, who were waiting to eat the Jin family’s corpses, were celebrating.
Although the second Battle was a draw, it would not change the outcome of the victory.
Tang Lun, the count of Jinhai, came to Governor Zhang Ji and bowed, ” “Tang Lun thanks the governor for his great kindness.”
He was indeed afraid.
If it wasn’t for Zhang Ji, the palace of the Earl of Jinhai would have been finished.
As a result, everyone praised Zhang Ji, saying that he was indeed a talent of the country, with a pair of bright eyes.
This Governor was really everyone’s Savior.
However, there was not a hint of a smile on Zhang Ye’s face.
The bad premonition in his heart didn’t dissipate, but instead became even stronger.
Seeing that his allies had already celebrated their victory in advance, he wanted to give them a few words of advice, but he gave up after thinking about it.
It’s better not to do things where I’m the only one who’s sober and the whole world is drunk, or I’ll have no friends at all.
“Everyone, I will take my leave first!”
Zhang Ji left.
........................
After returning to his room, Mayor Zhang Ji poured tea again and again, but he didn’t drink it.
He organized every detail in his mind.
To see what he had overlooked?
Zhang Pu came in and saw his father frowning. He couldn’t help but say, ” “Father, although a draw in the second Battle is not the best, it is still a good result. The overall situation has been decided.”
Zhang Ye asked,”why do you say that?” Do you think that’s all Shen lang has?”
Zhang Jin said, ” according to Shen Lang’s plan, we will win two out of three battles. We will win the martial arts and military battles. We will lose the Civil War. He’s indeed a genius, he almost succeeded.”
“If not for father’s sharp senses, Shen lang would have won. No one would have thought that he could find a way to break the sword technique, meteoric star. No one would have thought that he could create such an amazing armor and weapon.”
however, Shen Lang’s miracle ends here. He has exhausted all his abilities.
Zhang Pu’s words made sense.
This was also the reason why the rich and powerful celebrated their victory in advance.
everyone says that rotten wood can’t be carved, ” Zhang Pu said. father, do you think that trash like Jin mucong can still be trained? ” No matter how hardworking he is, no matter how many famous teachers he has, the greatest achievement in his life is probably to be a scholar.”
These words were not false at all.
and Tang Yun is like the star of literature in the sky. He was the flower-testing boy in last year’s court examination. He is truly talented in literature. Even if the mountains and rivers collapse and the sea flows backwards, it is impossible to change the outcome of Jin mucong being crushed by Tang Yun.
furthermore, only the monarch knows about the test questions. It is completely sealed in the box. Even if Shen lang wants to help Jin mucong cheat, it is impossible.
Suddenly, Zhang Ji’s eyebrows twitched as he seemed to have an idea.
You once said that Shen lang killed many people in Tian Heng’s casino and won 13 rounds in a row? ”
“Is that true?” Zhang Jin was stunned.
Zhang Ji suddenly had a very absurd idea in his mind.
However, he quickly shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind.
This was because it was simply too absurd. How could there be such a strange thing in this vast universe? wasn’t this like seeing a ghost or God?
“Do you think it’s possible for Shen lang to know the topic of the literary battle in advance and write a good policy paper and poem for Jin mucong?” Zhang Yan asked.
“H-how is this possible?” Zhang Pu asked in horror. That’s impossible.”
Zhang Ye said,”you’ve predicted the enemy’s situation and made a bold assumption, but carefully sought proof.” &Nbsp;
“Tell Chun Hua to come in,” he said.
After a while, Zhang Chunhua walked in.
At this time, he believed that a woman’s intuition was even more sensitive, especially when his daughter had always been bold and unconstrained by the world.
More importantly, she liked Shen lang.
Chunhua, did you pay attention to Shen Lang’s expression after the military battle ended? ”
Of course, Zhang Chunhua paid attention to it.
She recalled,”when uncle Xuanwu suggested a draw, Shen lang seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but he frowned.”
“Something’s wrong!” “There’s one detail that’s not right!” Zhang Ye said.
“Which detail?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
“Is Jin Mulan someone who is afraid of death?” Zhang Ye asked.
Zhang Chunhua said, ” that stupid woman is not afraid of death. She is very brave. During the military drill a few months ago, she even risked her life for the reputation of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
“But today, she was very conservative in her battle. She did not have any intention of risking her life to fight,” Zhang Ye said.”This is very abnormal. This battle concerns the life and death of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. She should not care about her own life and might even try to kill herself. But she didn’t. Instead, she fought with great caution.”
Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua immediately felt that this was very suspicious.
He found it!
Zhang Ji finally found what was wrong.
Who does Jin Mulan listen to the most now? of course, it’s Shen lang. Zhang Ye asked,”why didn’t she go all out?” That was because Shen lang told her not to risk her life and that it was fine even if she lost. Why did Shen lang have such confidence? Because he thinks that the Wen battle will be won!”
maybe it’s because Shen lang loves Jin Mulan a lot, ” Zhang Pu said. he can’t bear to see her get hurt.
Zhang Ye said, ” if it wasn’t for Shen Lang’s confidence, Jin Mulan wouldn’t have listened to him and fought so carefully. She didn’t even have a single wound on her body. This concerns the survival of her family. Shen lang must have told her that she would definitely win the third round of the competition. He told her not to risk her life and not to get injured.”
Zhang Chunhua felt that her father’s words made sense.
“Why is Shen lang so confident about Wen Zhan? It’s impossible for Jin mucong to win against Tang Yun.” Zhang Ye said,”the only possibility is that he knew the questions in advance and prepared the essay and poem for Jin mucong to memorize.”
“How is that possible?” Zhang Pu was shocked. This topic was personally set by the king, and it was directly sealed in the box. There’s no possibility of it being leaked.”
I can’t think of how Shen lang knew the questions in advance. but, ” Zhang Ye said, ” after you eliminate all the wrong answers, the last remaining answer, no matter how ridiculous it is, is still the truth!
“Father, I agree with your judgment,” Zhang Chunhua said.
Zhang Ye said, ” there’s still more than two hours until the literary battle in the afternoon. Time is tight. But there’s still time to salvage the situation.
Then, Zhang Ji left and asked to see uncle Wang, Ning Qi.
..................
Inside the castle on the mountaintop.
After hearing Zhang Ji’s words, ning Qi, the king’s uncle, felt that it was ridiculous.
“Zhang Ji, do you not trust us?”
Then, he pointed to the box in the hall and said, ” the test questions for the Wen battle in the afternoon are still in the box. No one has seen them, including the three of us. Even if Shen lang was a God, he wouldn’t have known in advance.
“I’m afraid,” Zhang Ji immediately knelt down and said.
Ning Qi said,”take a good look. Did the wax seal on the box get touched?” Has the seal been touched?”
Zhang Ye took a closer look and realized that none of them had moved.
“Zhang Nujiang, you’re a capable and capable official. It’s the ning family’s fortune to have an official like you,” ning Qi said. But sometimes, you might be too suspicious.”
“I’m afraid,” Zhang Ji kowtowed again.
you should go, ” ning Qi said. this matter is too big. We can’t change the topic just because of your guess.
Zhang Ye kowtowed and said,”the referee will take his leave.”
He was extremely determined and would never give up just because of a small setback.
After leaving the castle at the top of the mountain, Zhang Ji went to see Governor Zhu Rong as fast as he could.
After all, Zhang San was his benefactor, so he was very direct with his words.
“In order to ensure that there are no mistakes, the Wen Zhan’s examination question must be changed. Please, Governor, come forward.”
Governor Zhu Rong trusted and relied heavily on Zhang Ji.
“Do you really think it’s necessary?” are you sure that Shen lang would know the questions beforehand? this is ridiculous! Governor Zhu Rong said.
“I can’t be sure.” Zhang Ye said,”but it’s better to be safe than sorry!” If what I’m worried about is true, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu will win the battle for the gold Mountain Island. At that time, all our previous efforts and resources will be in vain. We have to be prepared.”
In order to create a situation where the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was besieged from all directions, Zhang Ji had put in a lot of effort.
He had single-handedly brought about the support of the palace of the count of zhenbei, the yinyuan Association, and the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
“Even if Shen lang has some literary talent, he can’t compare to Tang Yun,” Governor Zhu Rong said.
“Even if there’s a slim chance, we can’t afford to take the risk,” Zhang Ye said.
“Ning Qi’s Royal uncle is very experienced. It’s hard for me to convince him,” Governor Zhu Rong said.
“Viceroy, the monarch must have prepared a spare topic for this literary battle, and he sealed it in an identical box. if I’m not wrong, the box for the backup questions is in the custody of suo Xuan and the mighty Duke. It’s just that I didn’t announce it to everyone.”
Governor-General Zhu Rong nodded.
That was the truth.
Whether it was the imperial examination or the literary battle between the nobles, there were always alternative questions.
If the question was leaked, they could replace it immediately.
“Even so, it’s hard for me to make uncle ning Qi change the topic,” Governor Zhu Rong said.
Zhang Ye said,”I’m not asking you to convince him, but to accidentally destroy the wax seals and seals on the box in the name of checking the Wen war questions.” For the sake of fairness, Duke ning Qi has to change the topic.”
Governor Zhu Rong could not help but look at Zhang Ji again.
This trusted subordinate of his was really bold and unconstrained in his ways of doing things.
This method was very bold, but it was indeed the best method.
As the Queen’s brother and the governor of Tiannan province, even if he accidentally broke the wax seal on the box, Duke ning Qi would only scold him a little and would not blame him.
The monarch would not blame him.
Once the wax seal on the box containing the test questions was destroyed, it could not be used even if the test questions were not leaked. This was the rule.
Because who could guarantee that you had not opened it before?
“Zhang Ji, are you sure you want to do this?” Governor Zhu Rong asked.
“Yes, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong!” Zhang Ye said.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say!” Governor Zhu Rong nodded.
........................
Half an hour later!
Governor-General Zhu Rong accidentally dropped the box on the ground in the name of checking the examination paper seals and wax seals.
Ning Qi’s Royal uncle saw the box on the ground. All the wax seals on it had been shattered, and the seal had been torn.
“Zhu Rong, what are you doing?” Duke ning Qi said angrily.
“Uncle Wang, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I made a mistake,” Governor Zhu Rong quickly bowed and apologized.
Then, he quickly picked up the box on the ground and exclaimed, ” “Aiya, the wax seal is also destroyed, and the seal is broken.”
Ning Qi’s Royal uncle trembled. Zhu Rong, you did it on purpose. You did it on purpose. Zhang Ji must have ordered you to do this. He’s so bold.
“I’m sorry, uncle Wang. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault.” Governor-General Zhu Rong bowed. Please spare me, or you can beat me up?”
Governor-General Zhu Rong was extremely dignified in front of others, but in front of ning Qi, he was still as rascally as he was decades ago.
He was the older brother of the Queen and the younger generation of ning Qi’s Royal uncle. They had known each other for decades.
“After you return to the capital, you can ask for forgiveness from the king.” Ning Qi’s Royal uncle said angrily.
There was no other way now. The box that sealed the main test questions had been destroyed, so he could only use the spare test questions.
“Duke Weiwu, Marquis suoxuan, please take out the spare questions.”
A moment later, Marquis suo Xuan was holding a box in his hand, which was exactly the same as the one that had fallen to the ground.
The color, the texture, and even the wax seal on it were all the same.
“Are you satisfied now? Is Zhang Ye satisfied too?” “Get lost,” ning Qi’s Royal uncle said angrily.
Governor-General Zhu Rong hurried out.
......
When he came to the courtyard, he saw Zhang Ye kneeling there.
I’ll just return to the capital and ask for forgiveness from the king, ” Governor Zhu Rong said. you don’t have to kneel here. Uncle Wang was just in a fit of anger.
“Thank you for your concern, my Lord,” Zhang Ye said.
But he did not get up.
Zhu Rong and ning Qi’s Royal uncle were on the same side, so he wouldn’t blame them.
This time, Zhang San had really offended ning Qi.
Although this old uncle Wang no longer held any position, he might not even really punish Zhang Ji.
However, one shouldn’t blame people for being too polite. Old and young children needed to be coaxed more and more as they grew older.
He had knelt here for a day and a night, and he was not wrong.
After a while, ning Qi’s Royal uncle, the mighty Duke, and Marquis suo Xuan walked out with the box of questions in their hands.
Seeing Zhang Ye kneeling in the yard, ning Qi’s Royal uncle said,”Zhang Nujiang, you’re so scheming.”
“I’m guilty,” Zhang Ji said as he kowtowed.
He didn’t exaggeratedly say that he deserved to die.
“Get up, I’m an outdated person, I won’t ruin your future.” Ning Qi said.
Zhang Ji kowtowed again. This time, he placed his forehead on the ground and said,”I’m guilty!”
Seeing his sincere attitude, ning Qi’s anger subsided a little.
if you want to kneel, then just kneel like this. It’s going to rain soon. “Get someone to bring you an umbrella,” uncle ning Qi said.
Zhang Ji didn’t dare to reply, his forehead still touching the ground.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
It was the end of autumn, but there was still Thunder.
Dark clouds rolled and started to pile up.
It was indeed going to rain. The morning glow was indeed a sign.
A few Warriors quickly opened a huge umbrella and held it above ning Qi’s head.
Ning Qi’s Royal uncle left, because the literary competition in the afternoon was about to start.
The mighty Duke, Bian Xiao, stopped in his tracks when he passed by Zhang Ji, ” “Zhang Ye, you’re not bad!”
Zhang Ye raised his head, then knelt down and said, ” “I’m afraid.”
The mighty Duke left.
This person was extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone in the world. It was really unprecedented to be able to get a “not bad” from him.
In the position of governor of Yan Province, the mighty Duke’s words were very important.
It was great news to receive his praise.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The thunder in the sky was getting more and more intense.
Finally, the dark clouds had accumulated to the limit.
Heavy rain poured down.
Zhang Ji was still kneeling in the courtyard, not moving at all. The curtain of rain completely enveloped his thin figure.
A moment later, his body was completely soaked, and the ground was covered in mud, making him look particularly miserable.
Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua ran over and held an umbrella over Zhang Yan’s head.
“Take it away,” Zhang Ye said.
father, ” Zhang Jin said. you’re doing this for the new government, for the ning royal family, and even for the benefit of Royal uncle ning Qi. Why do you demean yourself like this?”
“Childish!” “If you try to reason with the king, you’ll never be able to stand out,” Zhang Ye said.
the palace of the Earl of Jinhai, the palace of the Earl of Jingan, and the palace of The Viscount of Lanshan are the ones who benefited from the battle of Jinshan Island. Why are they celebrating there while you suffer here? ” Zhang Jin said with hatred.
“If your companions aren’t incompetent, how do you think you’re powerful?” Zhang Ye said.
leave immediately. Don’t be so wishy-washy. You won’t die even if you’re drenched in the rain for a day and a night.
........................
It was pouring outside!
In the study of the Nujiang hunting ground.
The third Battle of the competition for the Golden Mountain Island was in progress.
However, there was no audience this time. In order to let Tang Yun and Jin mucong perform well, there was no one else except the three invigilators.
Ning Qi placed the box containing the exam questions on the table.
“Black Tortoise, Jinhai, you two check if there are any signs of damage on the wax seal and seal of the test box.”
If Shen lang was there, he would have noticed that the questions had changed, but he was not qualified to enter the examination hall.
But uncle Black Tortoise and uncle Jin hai couldn’t tell, because the two boxes were exactly the same.
“There’s no damage.”
“There’s no damage.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll tear off the seal and open the box,” ning Qi said.
“Yes!”
Then, ning Qi’s Royal uncle slowly tore off the seal, melted the wax seal, and opened the box.
He took out a piece of paper and unfolded it for Tang Yun and Jin mucong to see.
This was the test for today’s Wen battle, the monarch’s backup test.
The first question, strategy.
The title was “the theory of the loyalty and honesty of punishment.”
This question came from the ‘Minister’. Great Yu mo
The second question was very tricky.
Please use black Tortoise as the topic and compose a poem.
..................
When Tang Yun saw the two questions, he was overjoyed and full of pride.
He was very good at both of these questions. Even if he participated in the court examination, he could get another round of flower searching, or even second place.
instantly kill jin mucong, that trash?
It was simply too low-level. It was simply a disgrace to his identity as Tang Yun.
He could kill Jin mucong a hundred times with a single hair.
Jin mucong had always trusted Shen lang.
Last night, Shen lang told him what topic they were going to test him on and wrote a policy paper and a poem for him to recite.
Jin mucong believed him immediately.
Then, he spent a few hours copying it dozens of times.
He memorized it without missing a single word.
Because he trusted her too much, and he didn’t ask why.
Whatever brother-in-law said he would take, he would definitely do it.
Therefore, he felt that today’s test questions would definitely be the two questions that Shen lang had told him last night.
Even when he entered the venue, he had been silently reciting.
As he recited, he would even look at Tang Yun’s back with gritted teeth.
I, Lord fatty, am also going to defy the heavens.
Tang Yun, just wait for me to crush you into pieces.
Now that he saw the question, he was completely stunned.
That’s not right!
Heavens, this isn’t right!
These aren’t the two questions that brother-in-law told me yesterday.
What’s going on?
What went wrong?
Brother-in-law would never be wrong.
If he said he knew the two questions, he would definitely do it.
Why didn’t he take the test today?
Finished, finished!
How am I supposed to defy the heavens now? How am I supposed to destroy Tang Yun?
I’m definitely going to be crushed by him.
In terms of true talent, Tang Yun can kill me with a single hair.
The battle for the Golden Mountain Island was going to be lost.
The fate of the family is going to be destroyed in my hands.
Jin mucong almost cried, his body trembling.
Then, he felt that something was wrong.
Then, he quickly recalled!
Why do I have a deep impression of these two questions?
Then, fat otaku remembered.
That’s right, brother-in-law Shen lang had predicted the questions.
He bet on 19 policy papers and 150 poetry questions.
It was said that the questions were completely based on the monarch’s preferences and habits, as well as the books he liked to read.
The two questions in front of him, brother-in-law had bet on them.
Based on these two questions, his brother-in-law had also prepared a policy paper and a poem.
Not only that, but he also heard from his brother-in-law that this was the most impressive and famous piece of policy paper, and that poem about the turtle was the only song in a thousand years.
At that time, Jin mucong copied and memorized it with all his might.
Right, right!
The policy and the poem instantly appeared in fat otaku’s mind.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen!
Fat otaku felt that his clothes were all wet.
Just now, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
Brother-in-law, you’re too evil. You’re playing with me again. You almost scared me to death.
Hahahaha!
I, Jin mucong, am going to defy the heavens.
Tang Yun, just you wait. I’m going to crush you into pieces.
Hahahahaha!
Jiejiejiejiejiejiejiejie!

[ note: the first chapter has more than 6000 words and was written at 8 am! ] But as he wrote, he felt so satisfied that he only wanted to exclaim in his heart that Lord Zhang Ji was awesome. I beg for everyone’s support and give me endless strength.
