C894 Should He be Killed
The few of them walked around the entire convention. There were all kinds of young elites here, regardless of whether they were male or female. Zhang Hua even said that the Cloud Country paid a lot of attention to talent. Regardless of whether they were male or female, they were all qualified to be an official in the Cloud Country.
Even in their country, there were a few famous female generals.
Of course, there were only a few women who could serve as officials.
Zhou Yan was quite surprised, and he thought even more highly of his country.
This was rarely seen in other feudal countries in the ancient times.
"The activities of the princelings have already begun." Zhang Xiyan said to the two of them, "Do you want to participate?"
"Will there be any rewards for becoming the Child King?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.
Zhang Hua was a little speechless.'You are already so powerful, yet you're still interested in these things.'
Zhang Hua looked at Zhou Yan in shock. He really did not understand what Zhou Yan was thinking. According to his understanding, although Zhou Yan looked young, he must be an old monster who had lived for a long time.
Zhou Yan felt Zhang Hua's strange gaze and said, "I'm not that old. I'm only twenty-one years old this year."
"21 years old..." Zhang Hua was completely stunned.
He thought that Zhou Yan was an old monster, but he did not expect that he was actually a little brother.
Zhou Yan: If you have the guts, say it and I promise I won't beat you to death.
Zhang Hua was already twenty-three years old, but Zhou Yan was actually two years younger than him!
But this strength...
Zhang Hua suddenly wanted to calm down.
"You're twenty-one years old, but you're still older than me. I'm only sixteen years old," Zhang Xiyan said.
Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Xiyan. Her figure was full. Although she was young, her development in all aspects was already quite good.
Zhou Yan said, "No, you're older than me."
"How am I older? I'm only sixteen years old!" Zhang Xiyan answered innocently.
Zhou Yan smiled and did not say anything. It was better for a child not to know it so clearly.
As the saying goes, do as the Romans do. Zhou Yan curiously looked at the couplets of the couplets.
Zhang Hua told Zhou Yan the rules: there were only a hundred couplets in the first round. Only the person who was the first to come out could participate in the next round.
"How about we compete and see who can hold on until the end." Zhang Xiyan said.
"If you guys can win against me, I'll give you guys something as a gift." Zhou Yan said.
"Alright!" Zhang Hua immediately became happy when he heard that. With Zhou Yan's strength being so powerful, how could he give them something so simple?
However, Zhang Hua also knew that the probability of him winning against his opponent was very low.
"I also want to see what kind of good things you can take out." Zhang Xiyan also said curiously.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make you like it," Zhou Yan said casually.
"The Prince Charming Event officially begins!" As a middle-aged man spoke, the sound of gongs and drums sounded.
"Dong!"
When the gongs and drums sounded out, a hundred people wearing the same uniform walked out from the third floor. Each of them held a pair of couplets in their hands, and they hung them on a wall on the third floor that was specially hung with couplets.
After everyone hung the couplets up, they looked at each other and pulled them apart.
"Whoosh!"
A hundred couplets fell from the third floor just like that. Each couplet was very big, and even short-sighted people could clearly see the words on them.
Moreover, there was a specialized person writing upstairs, and as long as the person successfully advanced, the second half of the couplet would appear next to the corresponding couplet.
The first round of competition was very fierce. There were only a hundred couplets in total, but there were more than a thousand people here. If one wanted to stand out among them, not only did one have to be fast, but one also had to be good at it.
However, the couplets were not so simple. Each of them had a special meaning. They had to choose one of them carefully. If they were slow, they would be beaten by the others. If they wanted to choose the second couplet, they would be far behind the others.
It seemed to be a simple pair of couplets, but it tested not only their strong cultural skills, but also their quick thinking.
Zhang Hua and Zhang Xiyan quickly looked at the couplets upstairs and then chose one of them to think about it.
Zhou Yan looked at the couplets and also chose one of them. With his strong mind, he already had the answer.
Zhou Yan walked to the side of one of the couplets. On the couplet, it was written: Good book and comprehension.
Zhou Yan immediately gave the couplet: Your good friend came in the spring.
Just like Zhou Yan, there were several other people who came up with the answer in a short period of time, including Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua and Zhou Yan were quickly informed that they had entered the next level.
As for Zhang Xiyan, although she was able to pass the next stage, she was much slower compared to Zhou Yan and Zhang Hua. However, the fact that she was able to successfully advance also proved that her literary talent was quite outstanding.
"I didn't expect you to be faster than me." Zhang Xiyan also did not expect Zhou Yan to be so fast. Basically, it did not take too much time.
"It looks like it will be very difficult for you to obtain my reward. How about this, I'll give you guys a little bit of leeway in this trial," Zhou Yan said.
"Alright, then I won't be polite." Zhang Xiyan immediately agreed when she heard that. After she finished speaking, she even smiled cunningly, appearing to be very lively and cute.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the one hundred people who won all entered this round, regardless of whether they were men or women.
Several people came in and also saw Zhang Hua and Zhang Xiyan. They quickly stepped forward and cupped their hands towards the two of them. They wanted to say something, but Zhang Hua said, "We just came to join in on the fun. You guys can do whatever you want. Let me see how good your literary talent is."
"Alright, Young Master Zhang." One of the men said very intelligently.
"I didn't expect that Young Master Zhang and Miss Zhang would also come this time. It really makes me feel honored."
Not only did a young lady in white look dignified, but she was also very courteous. She bowed to Zhang Hua and Zhang Xiyan with a gentle smile on her face, which made people feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze.
However, an arrogant voice sounded from outside, "Haha, how could I, Wang Yuan, not be involved in the activities of the Prince?"
After hearing this arrogant and despotic voice, Zhou Yan asked curiously: "Who is this person?"
Hearing that, Zhang Hua quickly said: "This person is from the Wang Family of the Empire. Although no one is an official in the imperial court, there are quite a few people in the family who are disciples of the Profound Yin Hall. Thus, he is extremely arrogant and despotic."
Zhou Yan roughly understood something and asked: "Should we kill him?"
Hearing that, Zhang Hua looked at Zhou Yan's indifferent expression as if he was thinking about the meaning of Zhou Yan's words, but he still answered truthfully:
"I have also heard about this person. He has done all kinds of evil deeds and bullied men and women. There are even many memorials that have been sent to my father, but because of the power of the Profound Yin Hall, they are only a small punishment. It is not that we don't want to care about it, but that the power of the Profound Yin Hall is too great."
"If you dare to make a move, I'll take responsibility for whatever you do. If you don't dare, I won't care about this matter." Zhou Yan said.1
Zhang Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Alright."
After Zhang Hua finished speaking, he walked towards Wang Yuan.
