Twenty thousand taels of silver? !
Several poor students were stunned, and one of them said awkwardly:
"Chen Ke, do you know what your odds are now? Is it necessary to play it so big?"
Of course, of course not, the drugs I took these days are enough to cost 100,000 taels of silver!
When Chen Ke thought of Tie Niu's sad face and the huge box of empty bottles of the Soul-Concentrating Pill, his heart trembled with pain.
If I want to make back the money by embroidering bellybands, it will take a long time.
Seeing that Chen Ke insisted on doing so, everyone had no choice but to take the hot jade pendant.
be honest, none of them is optimistic about Chen Ke. The reputation of "little prodigy" Su Shentong is not exaggerated.
The reason why the poor students supported Chen Ke was simply because they ate and slept together.
Even though they bought Chen Keying, it was just a small amount of money. All the money added up was less than three thousand taels of silver.
Puff, puff!
The discordant sound appeared again.
The fat man behind Chen Ke, Pi Ronghua, looked at the backs of the poor students leaving and said with a smile:
"Eunuch Chen, it's useless to be cruel at this time. If you can win, I will call you Eunuch in the future!"
Puchi, puff!
Pi Ronghua laughed again, and Chen Ke was going crazy.
Let a fart spirit follow me and disgust me?
He was too lazy to pay attention and continued walking forward.
The name "Eunuch" was the first nickname Chen Ke got when he came to Haotian Academy.
Since he entered the palace, he often violated discipline and was punished by the academy, which was called "castration."
What else should we call the poor guy who has been castrated if not eunuch?
Well, it's not without reason that he inherited Dongfang Bubai's embroidery skills.
Just as Chen Ke was rushing to the battlefield, an old man in gray clothes holding a dustpan and broom walked over to the steps at the back door.
The old man was thin and wore a straw hat. Looking at the cold horse manure under the steps, he shook his head and swept the manure into the winnowing basket.
Guanyuan Liu heard the noise and walked out of the door. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the old man, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"Greetings, Principal!"
The old man frowned and said: "Warn those guys next time, if there is horse manure at the door again, make them swallow it with sauce!"
Guanyuan Liu felt a chill in his heart and nodded quickly.
"Chen Ke is here?"
"Yes."
"How is your health?"
"Nothing serious, just a little weak."
"That's good, this kid is quite courageous, daring to sneak up the city wall under the guise of entertaining the troops. Although he is courting death, it has been a long time since such a naughty kid appeared in the academy."
"Well, Shanzhang, he may have recognized me."
The old man was surprised for a moment, and said nonchalantly:
"That's nothing, as long as you don't spread it around."
Suddenly thinking of something, the old man asked curiously:
"I heard that this kid challenged the little prodigy?"
Liu Guanyuan hurriedly said:
"That's right. In fact, the Su family wanted to cancel the engagement with the Chen family, so they asked the girl to make a fuss, and the girl simply pushed the little prodigy to the front."
The old man suddenly realized: "No wonder, a few days ago, the King of Shu personally wrote a letter to me, asking me to rectify those guys who don't study all day and occupy the toilet without shitting, and he specifically mentioned Chen Ke's name."
Liu Guanyuan was very surprised, and his heart moved and said:
"Shanzhang means that the King of Shu is going to take action against the Chen family?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't mean anything. Anyway, I treat everyone equally. Whoever passes the monthly exam will stay, and those who fail will be expelled!"
Oh, right.
The old man carefully took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into Liu Guanyuan's hand:
"Xiao Liu, one hundred taels, help me buy Chen Keying!"
Xiao Liu looked down at the silver note in his hand, then looked at the back of the dean as he left leisurely, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
...
The little prodigy Su Shentong stood on the high platform, with his head held high and looking around with pride.
Today, he wants to rescue sister Qingqing, who is both intelligent and beautiful, from the insidious and evil toad monster.
When he thought of the toad crying and kneeling in front of him begging for mercy, and then Sister Qingqing giving him a kiss on the face, the little prodigy couldn't help but laugh.
His little face was covered with a layer of red glow, and he suddenly raised his fist and shouted,
"Victory, victory!"
In the stands, everyone looked at the little prodigy in astonishment. Was this child too immersed in the role?
The conference room they were in was like a large bowl embedded in the ground. The center bottom of the bowl was the podium, where the little prodigy stood.
Along the bottom of the bowl, circles of seats rise in a circle, like terraced fields.
In this way, everyone's eyes can be focused on the direction of the podium.
The venue that could hold 600 people was almost full, with a small majority of them being the little prodigy's relatives and friends, and the majority just coming to watch the fun.
The most famous poor student in the academy is actually going to challenge the most famous child genius in the academy, and the competition is about memorizing. It is so unexpected.
Everyone has a question in their mind: who gave Chen Ke the courage?
Probably only a few people know the ins and outs of the matter. The person behind the scenes manipulating this competition is actually Su Yuqing.
Su Yuqing sat in the row of seats closest to the podium, feeling a little excited.
She transferred from Daxia Academy to Haotian Academy, one to continue her studies, and the other to end her ill-fated relationship with Chen Ke.
How could a son of a businessman, with a bad record, be qualified to hold her hand?
When she thought about how she slept in the same bed with Chen Ke when she was a child, she couldn't help feeling sick.
Why didn't you think of strangling him to death at that time?
Fortunately, it is not too late now. She has decided to cancel the marriage today. Su Yuqing can't help but tell Brother Ziang the good news.
When Su Yuqing thought of Brother Ziang's handsome figure and affectionate eyes, her heart almost melted, and a faint smile appeared on her bright and charming face.
With a bang, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
A group of students from the martial arts academy, numbering more than a hundred people, entered the venue in a mighty procession.
"Wow, Xu Ziang, one of the three most handsome men in the martial arts academy!"
"Wow, Lu Xiong is here too, will there be a fight after the literary fight? This is going to be a good show!"
The students in the whole venue were in an uproar of excitement. Many girls looked at the tall and straight young man walking in the front and exclaimed in surprise, with stars in their eyes.
But when they saw the burly Lu Xiong standing behind Xu Ziang, they couldn't help but snicker.
Lu Xiong clearly felt the gazes of the crowd. His face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, looked as if it had been licked by the stove fire and was covered with a layer of red light.
Of course, his eyes were also blazing with fire, burning with endless humiliation.
Soon, a group of people walked to the bottom of the terrace and filled the remaining seats.
Su Yuqing stood up and looked at the man opposite with a look of surprise:
"Senior Ziang, why are you here?!"
