I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Xiong smiled slightly, "Why do you see that?"

"Every question has just been read, and the five sons rush to answer it. The poems are even more brilliant. If there is no cheating? Huh! Ridiculous! Who would believe it?"

Even if Zheng Qian didn't participate in the Dou Wen Conference, other scholars have reported to him everything that happened in the Dou Wen Conference.

Among them, most of them are words of praise for the fifth son Cao Xiong.

But Zheng Qian disagreed.

Answering the question so quickly, most likely because he already knew the question and was just playing around!

Cao Xiong didn't explain that much!

Because in his opinion, there is no need to explain these things to a scholar.

"Your Excellency, you came all the way here just to prove this?"

"This is one of them! If Fifth Young Master doesn't show his true talents and learning, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop everyone in the world!"

"What about the second of them?"

"Two of them, I want to bet and fight with Fifth Young Master!"

"How to gamble, how to fight!"

"Gambling food! Dou Wen!"

Chapter 297

As soon as this remark came out, the heads of the Zheng and Wang clans sweated like rain.

What is your status as Zheng Qian?

Let the fifth son fight with you for a round?

What if the fifth son is furious and disposes of this son (son-in-law)?

All the officers and soldiers, the surrounding people, and a group of scholars surrounded Zheng Qian when he was confronting the five young masters, and they all looked at Zheng Qian with strange expressions.

Some shake their heads, some sneer, and so on!

From their point of view, the fifth son, Cao Xiong, won the Essay Contest, and it has long been a certainty and announced to the world.

Why bother to hold on to this and gamble with fighting words!

Seeing that the fifth son, Cao Xiong, did not speak.

Zheng Qian added another sentence.

"Five sons are afraid?"

"If the fifth son is afraid! You only need to admit that you cheated in the fight, and the Zheng and Wang families each have a lot of food and grass of [-] shi. How about donating it immediately?"

It turned out to be the case.

The reason why Cao Xiong held back his words was because he wanted to see what Zheng Qian's ultimate purpose was?

It seems that Liangcao is second, he is very upset about winning the title of "Literary Master" at such a young age!

After all, he is a scholar, with a stubborn streak!

"How?" Looking at Cao Xiong, Zheng Qian said provocatively:

"Will the fifth son dare to fight or not?"

"Hehe!" Cao Xiong was amused when he heard the words, suddenly felt a little funny to be provoked by a scholar.

Shaking his head, he said lightly: "To fight with me, your bet of 20 shi is too small!"

what?

Zheng and Wang's two families, 20 shi grain and grass, is this a small bet?

Cao Xiong asked calmly: "General Zhang Liao, how much food and grass have we raised?"

Zhang Liao picked up the ledger.

"Including the donation from Zhou's family, a total of 90 shi of grain and grass!"

"okay"

A ray of crystal light suddenly radiated from Cao Xiong's eyes!

"I will take the 90 shi grain and grass and bet with you!"

Slowly walked to Zheng Qian's side.

"Do you dare to accept it?"

This!

90 stone!

Even Zheng Qian, who is proud of his talents, couldn't help but take a step back when he heard this amount of bets!

In terms of momentum, he has already lost a bit.

The heads of the Zheng and Wang families rushed to support him.

"My son-in-law...or...forget it."

"My son...you have to think twice!"

Zheng Qian's reputation is not small, and his status in the two families is unparalleled, but he has a problem that all literati have!

That is stubbornness!

Now I am provoked by Cao Xiong's words!

How dare you admit defeat!

"Accept! I will accept the fifth young master's bet!"

That's all!

The heads of the two families staggered in fright and almost fell to the ground!

This is 90 shi of grain and grass, even if they sell all their property, they still can't make up the figure!

but!

But for this son, this son-in-law, they have nothing to do. Zheng Qian has only one problem since he was a child: he is very stubborn!

The thing that is determined...Eight horses can't be pulled back.

Immediately, the heads of the two families fell to their knees: "Fifth Young Master, our two families can give a total of 40 stones of food and grass at most! How about, Fifth Young Master, reduce the bet?"

Cao Xiong waved his hand.

"No need to subtract, I will take the 90 stones and bet with your 40 stones!"

"readily!"

Zheng Qian yelled loudly, and the fighting spirit ignited in his chest surged all over his body.

This is a long-lost hearty pleasure.

The bet is on!

Zheng Qian couldn't wait!

"No, I dare you to try Fifth Young Master's literary talent first?"

When Zheng Qian said this, all the onlookers were a little moved. After all, the object of Zheng Qian's challenge was Cao Xiong, the fifth son who had become famous recently.

What's more, Cao Xiong is the champion of the literary competition. Prime Minister Cao personally promulgated the "Literary Master". To see him show his literary talents, everyone stared wide-eyed, looking forward to it.

However, Cao Xiong shook his head amidst everyone's expectant eyes.

"not good!"

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding audience were all surprised and puzzled.

Chapter 298 Ten Questions Ten Answers

"Haven't you competed yet? Could it be that the Fifth Young Master admits to being cowardly?"

Before everyone came back to their senses, Cao Xiong smiled slightly, "Fighting and fighting every day is nothing more than reciting poems and fighting against each other. I'm bored to death. How about this? I'll ask you ten questions. If you can answer one, you'll be fine." I lose, how?"

Isn't it a competition to recite poems?

Instead, in the simplest question-and-answer form?

This novel competition method, on the contrary, made the crowd of onlookers feel a little bit more anticipation.

"Hmph!" Zheng Qian stood firm. He had full confidence in his talent, and he had never met an opponent in the entire city of Beiping.

In his opinion, Cao Xiong's words are simply a great insult to him!

"Answer one question? Hmph! If you can't answer one question, you will admit defeat."

Zheng Qian's words are aggressive

Instead, the two patriarchs were surprised.

In their view, now is not the time to be arrogant.

This is related to 40 grain and grass... no... it is the destination of 130 million grain and grass!

But you can't make it harder for yourself just to win your breath.

The two patriarchs hurriedly rounded up the situation.

"Fifth Young Master, why don't we limit ourselves to five questions for the sake of fairness, and if we can't answer them well, it's okay if I lose?"

Hearing this, Cao Xiong showed a faint smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter, you can't answer any of them anyway."

Zheng Qian said "Huh!", dismissive of Cao Xiong's words.

Flick the long sleeves, full of confidence.

"Fifth Young Master, come up with a question!"

"first question!"

Just as Cao Xiong said these three words, all the onlookers focused their attention. They were all very curious about what kind of question the Fifth Young Master would ask.

I glanced at everyone.

Cao Xiong asked a question.

"What is the relationship between your uncle's son's father's mother's aunt's aunt's uncle's wife's uncle's uncle?"

what……

Everyone was shocked when they heard this question!

Obviously, they had never guessed such a topic before, and they were a little confused for a while!

Zheng Qian is no exception!

I'm still trying to figure it out layer by layer with my fingers, but the relationship is so complicated that I can't figure it out at all!

For a little while.

"Young master of the Qian family? Do you have an answer?" Cao Xiong asked.

Zheng Qian shook his head and asked Cao Xiong back.

"Ask Fifth Young Master, what is the relationship between this?"

In his opinion, the fifth son Cao Xiong's question was suspected of deliberately embarrassing him.

Perhaps, he may not know the answer either.
