Seeing Cheng Chuyu taunting the young masters, Li Shiming didn't say anything to stop him, nor did he feel that it was inappropriate.
It was normal for young people to be hot-blooded. He was also happy to see the children of these aristocratic families fight. Fighting could promote growth, which was also a good thing for the imperial court.
Cheng Yaojin didn't forget the ridicule Zhangsun Wuji and the others had given him earlier. He looked at Zhangsun Wuji and the others and mocked them mercilessly,""Guys, does your face hurt?"
Zhangsun Wuji's face was ashen, Gao Shilian's face was black, and Hou Junji's eyes darkened as he clenched his fists.
Cheng Yaojin had no intention of giving up. He said sarcastically,"Sigh, my son is indeed a little useless, but compared to your sons, he's more than enough. Don't you think so?”
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said angrily,"Cheng Pifu, don't go too far!”
"Me?" Cheng Yaojin sneered. This old man Zhangsun sure has a lot of official authority, yet he doesn't allow me to speak the truth?”
This sentence could be said to be returning the original words, causing Zhangsun Wuji's face to turn red.
Cheng Yaojin smiled coldly and continued,""I've said it before, don't speak too early. It's not certain who will have the last laugh.”
"Don't be too happy," Hou Junji said coldly."Your son might not even win the combat examination.”
"Then we'll just wait and see."
Cheng Yaojin was not very worried about the combat examination. Although he did not know how strong his son was, Cheng Chuyu was able to live so freely under his pursuit. Her skills were not bad.
As long as the rules of the combat examination weren't so ridiculous, there was still a chance of winning.
Zhangsun Wuji and the others snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. They wanted to wait for Cheng Chuyu to lose the combat examination, then humiliate Cheng Yaojin and get back at him.
Li Shi Min stood up and said in a clear voice," This theory examination has ended. The first place is Cheng Chu Yu, the second place is Qin Huai Dao, and the third place is Yuchi Bao Lin. Does anyone have any objections?"”
Everyone was silent.
There were naturally people who had objections, and they were not in the minority.
After all, no one would feel comfortable being suppressed by a hedonistic son like Cheng Chuyu and Yuchi Baolin.
However, despite their displeasure, they had indeed lost.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Shimin continued,"Since everyone has no objections, then the theory examination results are set.”
"The combat examination will be held in the afternoon at the palace's martial arts practice field.”
"This competition is a free-for-all. Everyone will compete at the same time. Weapons and hidden weapons are not allowed. There is no time limit until the last three people are decided.”
"Everyone can rest on your own now. The imperial kitchen will send lunch over later.”
Li Shimin left after he finished speaking. Li Lizhi wanted to go find Cheng Chuyu, but Empress Zhangsun stopped her. She could only follow Empress Zhangsun and leave.
After the three of them left, the entire venue suddenly became noisy.
Yuchi Baolin and the others walked to Cheng Chuyu's side.
"This rule seems to be very disadvantageous to you." Li Dejiang laughed.”
"That's right. His Majesty is targeting me.”
Cheng Chuyu smiled helplessly, but there was no worry in his eyes.
Fang Yi 'ai glanced at Zhangsun Chong and the others who were whispering to each other and said,""I think Zhangsun Chong and the others are definitely trying to make use of this rule. The combat examination might target you.”
"Do you need our help?" Qin Huaidao asked.”
Cheng Chuyu smiled and asked,""What do you think?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they burst out laughing.
"Then let's just stay here and watch the show." Yuchi Baolin chuckled.”
Chai Zhewei sighed." It's a pity that we can't bring food. Otherwise, it would be so damn comfortable to watch the show while eating melon seeds."”
Li Zhen also smiled." Then you'll have to bring a small stool and some wine. It'll be pleasant!"”
Everyone burst into laughter, not a trace of worry at all.
Seeing that Zhangsun Chong and the others had no intention of provoking them, Cheng Chuyu and the others were too lazy to stir up trouble and returned to their elders.
Cheng Yaojin slapped Cheng Chuyu's shoulder heavily and grinned.""Hey, brat, you really gave me face!”
Cheng Chuyu rolled his eyes and said unhappily,"Dad, can you be gentler? If you cripple me, it'll be your fault if I don't get first place in the combat examination.”
Mrs. Cheng glared at Old Man Cheng and said,"That's right. You didn't know how to control yourself. If anything happens to Yu 'er in the combat examination, I won't let you off.”
"Hehe, Furen, don't blame me.”
Cheng Yao and Jin Tian smiled apologetically, but they were secretly surprised.
He had used seventy percent of his strength in that slap just now to test the waters. Even a thick-skinned fool like Yuchi Old Hei would have to grimace in pain.
However, when it came to his son, it seemed like nothing had happened. It seemed like it was insignificant.
Could it be that this brat is stronger than me?
Cheng Yaojin wasn't sure about Cheng Chuyu's strength, but he didn't probe further.
Although the rules of the combat examination were clearly not in Cheng Chuyu's favor, Cheng Yaojin felt more at ease with this test.
......
Just as Cheng Chuyu and the Cheng family were chatting happily, Zhangsun Wuji led Zhangsun Chong to the side.
"How is it, Chong-er? Do you have the confidence to defeat that Cheng Clan brat in the combat examination?”
Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but worry. Now that Cheng Chuyu had taken the top spot in the theory examination, if Cheng Chuyu also obtained a good ranking in the combat examination, then Princess Changle would really have no fate with their Zhangsun Clan.
However, if he could defeat Cheng Chuyu early and his son obtained a good ranking, things might turn around.
"Father, don't worry. Hou Sai Lei and I have contacted many young masters of the aristocratic families. During the combat examination, we will join hands with those young masters to deal with Cheng Chu Yu. Even if Cheng Chu Yu has three heads and six arms, he will still be defeated with hatred.”
Zhangsun Chong sneered, his eyes cold.
When Cheng Chu Yu was defeated, he would definitely make Cheng Chu Yu lose face in front of everyone and never be able to raise his head again!
"That's good."
Zhangsun Wuji was also relieved, and a smile appeared on his old face.
At that time, he would like to see what Cheng Yaojin would show off in front of him.？
