After untying the knot in his heart with the two girls, Lu Bei did not go to court. For the next seven days, he practiced martial arts at home.
He knew very well that the true core of his troops was himself.
In the past seven days, as the various scratches and damage on the private training ground increased, Lu Bei could clearly feel that his body was getting used to this heavy Overlord Spear.
As he practiced again and again, he no longer relied on his instincts to kill like before.
The spear technique in his hands became more and more agile, and his control over his strength became more and more precise. He had truly grasped the combat ability of Chu Bawang and had even mastered it thoroughly.
He was getting stronger and stronger.
Seven days later, the sun shone on the horizon for the first time.
Lu Bei woke up early in the morning.
Because today was the day of the princess's groom search ceremony.
When he put on a white robe and was about to leave with a folding fan in his hand.
His refined white robe made him look elegant, but he also had a sharp aura. The two servant girls were stunned.
When Lu Bei and his servant sat in the carriage and arrived at the Imperial City Square that had been chosen as the venue for the competition.
The square was already packed with people.
The people of Chang 'an, who did not want to miss such a grand event, turned out in full force.
Apart from Lu Bei and the target of this operation, Dieluo Zhi, there were also eight local talents from Chang 'an who participated in the groom search.
When the group of ten people walked to the center of the square.
Dressed in a white robe, the handsome Chang An Marquis, Lu Bei, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The audience's emotions were instantly ignited.
"Chang An Marquis!"
"Chang An Marquis!"
"Chang An Marquis!"
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, and it was like a tsunami that swept across Chang 'an!
Lu Bei saw the reaction of the Chang 'an people. He raised his right hand and greeted the hundreds of thousands of people in the square.
"Chang An Marquis, you can do it. We want to see you win the competition and marry the princess!”
" That's right, Chang An Marquis will definitely win!"
Amidst the orderly and soul-stirring cheers, the people leaning against the front row shouted at the same time to express their blessings.
"Hmph, putting on an act!"
Die Luozhi looked at Lu Bei coldly.
"Silence!"
The hundreds of black-armored soldiers standing in front of the crowd roared.
The crowd quickly quieted down.
Li Shi Min, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, quickly appeared on the city wall.
Princess Chang Le, who was dressed in a white and pink robe, also appeared.
The veil could not see her appearance clearly, but Lu Bei could clearly feel that the other party was looking at him affectionately.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians saluted in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles.
Li Shi Min raised his hands and gestured for his subjects to stand up.
Then, his eyes were like lightning as he looked at Lu Bei.
Lu Bei nodded confidently at the Emperor and opened his folding fan with a whoosh, indicating that he was ready.
"Today, the civil and military groom search competition officially begins.”
Li Shi Min's majestic voice traveled through the outer walls of the loudspeaker and reached everyone's ears.
The eyes of the subjects of the Great Tang immediately lit up with anticipation.
"The first round is a pair of pairs. You can set a question for anyone to eliminate the opponent. The last two people will enter the next round!”
Xue Shou, a university student dressed in a purple robe and with a long, scholarly beard, stood in the middle of the ten people and announced the rules loudly.
"Hmph, I, Dieluo Zhi, received the best education in the royal court since I was young. I studied under the strongest scholar of the Turkic Khaganate, Amid. I wrote poems at the age of three, composed poems at the age of six, and was proficient in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting at the age of eight.”
The arrogant Die Luozhi looked at the other contestants around him and said in a disdainful tone,"I won't put trash like you in my eyes. Let's attack together. I'll give you a question and completely shatter your dignity.”
"What is it? How dare you speak so arrogantly?"
The faces of the eight local Chang 'an scholars immediately turned green.
Although they had indeed been studying while taking care of their livelihood, they had considered themselves to be quite knowledgeable. Now that they had been humiliated by Dieluo, they were instantly enraged.
"I'll do it!"
A weak but determined Chang 'an student stood out and faced Dieluo Zhi.
"Draw a lotus painting!"
Die Luozhi sneered and said the first half of the couplet.
" Hmph, I was wondering what you would do. So it turns out that you have such a simple…"
The Chang 'an scholar was halfway through his sentence when his eyes suddenly froze.
The Grand Scholar Xue Shou's eyes turned cold.
This couplet didn't seem difficult, but the difficulty lay in the literal meaning. The difficulty lay in the fact that the pronunciation had to be the same no matter how you read it!
"Hiss…"
The eight Chang 'an scholars gasped.
In the crowd watching from afar, the scholars began to think hard.
"Hahaha, you Han dogs, with such standards, you dare to challenge me, Dieluo Zhi?”
Dieluo Zhi's ear-piercing voice sounded again.
"You!"
The student from the Humble Class in Chang 'an who was standing in front of him was so angry that he coughed out blood!
"Hahahaha, a bunch of useless Han dogs!”
Die Luozhi laughed even more impudently.
"Are you done laughing?"
A cold voice sounded. It was Lu Bei's voice.
"The Everpeace Marquis is about to make his move!"
The eyes of hundreds of thousands of people became heated at the same time.
