Chapter 123: Reputation Lost
Naturally, Chen Changan's performance in the Imperial College competition quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Chen Changan could hear the people's discussions while sitting in the carriage.
"Have you heard? The number one scholar is really amazing!"
"After the couplet written by Monk Yueluo from Black Mountain, no one dared to respond to the second line, and then Moquan was written, leaving everyone speechless!"
"What's that? The top scholar is still asking Westerners to obey him!"
"Hey, but I heard that the top scholar and the King of Huainan have a fight and want to fight against the Iron Pagoda!"
"I really don't know what the champion is thinking. He has no military power, so how can he be a match for the Iron Buddha and his gang of living devils?"
Many people were worried about Chen Changan, but Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled.
It's been three days and he's ready.
As long as the Iron Pagoda shows up, I will definitely give them a big surprise!
"Shut up!"
Zhou Qiankun, the driver, scolded the carriage, and the galloping horses stopped.
The strong inertia made Chen Changan unable to sit steadily. He leaned forward and fell into the carriage.
Chen Changan rubbed his aching elbow and heard Zhou Qiankun tremblingly say: "Big, big brother, there is an iron pagoda blocking the road ahead, I..."
Before Zhou Qiankun finished speaking, he heard someone roaring in front of him.
"Where is the ninth son of the King of Huainan?"
"Zhang Tianxiong, the Iron Buddha Commander of the Zhennan Army, requests an audience!"
Chen Changan gritted his teeth immediately.
Zhang Tianxiong had been to the Huainan Palace before and was a very famous killer under Chen Zhan.
In one battle, he massacred 100,000 bandit chieftains, which established his reputation as a vicious gang.
King Huainan actually asked Zhang Tianxiong to come?
Chen Changan knew that he couldn't dodge, so he could only lift up his shield and walk out proudly.
On the opposite side, hundreds of heavily armored cavalry were clearly visible!
Their war horses were half a head taller than ordinary war horses, and were covered with heavy armor with several meters of spikes in front.
Obviously, if they charge forward, even tanks can be turned into powder!
The knights were also covered in heavy armor, with no exposed flesh from head to toe.
A life-taking spear is hung on the hook of victory, and a beheading sword is hung on the waist. Although there are only a hundred people, their momentum is overwhelming and they dare to fight against a hundred thousand soldiers!
Just seeing the Iron Pagoda is enough to make people tremble with fear!
"I am Chen Changan, not the ninth son of the King of Huainan."
Chen Changan faced the pressure from Tiefutu and said coldly, "The war is imminent, why did you come to see me?"
"Fizz!"
Before Zhang Tianxiong could say anything, the warhorse under him began to neigh.
The war horse raised its front hooves high, but Zhang Tianxiong remained standing. The war horse's front hooves landed heavily on the ground, and the blue bricks shattered into pieces!
The powerful pressure almost frightened Zhou Qiankun to death!
It was the Iron Pagoda who used their backbone to build stability in the south, and everyone was terrified!
Zhang Tianxiong spoke in a muffled voice and raised his mask.
He clasped his fists towards Chen Changan very reluctantly and said contemptuously: "Iron Buddha has been ordered to rush here from the Jiangdu military camp. After a day of repair, he is ready for battle!"
"I heard that the top scholar wanted to fight the prince, and Zhang Tianxiong thought he couldn't do it. How could a parent bully his son?"
"Please dismount, Ninth Prince, and come back with me to see the prince and admit your mistakes to him!"
Zhou Qiankun nodded repeatedly. How could he fight this?
Chen Changan laughed when he heard what Zhang Tianxiong said: "You are just a general under the King of Huainan, following orders. How dare you interfere in the King of Huainan's affairs?"
"Zhang Tianxiong, go back and tell King Huainan that we'll see the outcome on the battlefield tomorrow!"
Sonorous!
Zhang Tianxiong reached out and grasped the handle of the knife, pressed the retaining spring, and the steel knife came out of the sheath!
The cold light is shining, swallowing up the sharpness of the sun and the moon!
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. I kidnap the prince today. So what?"
"Do you want to get out of the car yourself, or do we do it?"
Chen Changan thought of the Iron Buddha's arrogance and unreasonableness, but he didn't expect that they would actually dare to draw their swords at him!
Chen Changan gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Tianxiong, you dare to touch me?"
"I am the current number one scholar, and I am deeply loved by the emperor. You are committing treason by committing crimes against your superiors. I will report this to the emperor, and he will cut you into pieces!"
Death by a thousand cuts?
Not to mention that Zhang Tianxiong laughed coldly, so Tiefutu also laughed.
From the moment they became Iron Pagodas, they never cared about their own lives.
This kind of threat is just nonsense to them!
brush!
Zhang Tianxiong waved his right hand and the long sword flew towards Chen Changan.
Bang!
The saber hit the carriage, only a foot away from Chen Changan's head!
Obviously he was trying to scare Chen Changan on purpose!
Zhang Tianxiong waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Prince! If the King of Huainan wants to kill me, I will sacrifice my life for my country!"
"But you must go with me today!"
“…Prepare to charge!”
As Zhang Tianxiong roared, Tiefutu bent down instantly.
It was as if a layer of dark cloud covered the body, ready to charge at any time!
Chen Changan clenched his fists tightly behind his back. This is what it means when a scholar meets a soldier. You can't even tell how to be polite!
The situation is tense!
At this critical moment, a sedan chair suddenly appeared behind him.
The sedan bearer walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger and stopped beside Chen Changan's carriage.
"The generals of the Huainan King are causing chaos in Baidi City, openly kidnapping the top scholar and disregarding the imperial power. What's going on? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Zhang Tianxiong's eyes narrowed and he raised his hand slightly, telling Tiefutu not to act rashly.
An old man in casual clothes walked out of the sedan chair.
Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he exuded boundless majesty. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he would remain unmoved.
This is the aura of old General Li Wuling!
One person intimidates a hundred people!
"Old General?"
Zhang Tianxiong gritted his teeth slightly.
Li Wuling was a general from the north, commanding an army of 300,000. He went to the palace with a sword in hand, and even the King of Huainan had to give him face.
Zhang Tianxiong smiled wryly: "We dare not rebel, this is the family affair of the King of Huainan!"
"My son doesn't obey discipline, so why not let me teach him a lesson on behalf of the King of Huainan?"
"Oh, I heard that the old general's sons all died in battle. Maybe they don't have this kind of trouble. What do you think?"
Li Wuling's face changed.
Zhang Tianxiong was poking his lungs in front of him!
"You f*cking wanna die?"
Li Wuling's deputy general walked out with his eyes wide open, staring at Zhang Tianxiong fiercely.
"The old general's son died fighting for his country and was buried in a foreign land. How can a mere iron pagoda like you be able to arrange this?"
"What's the point of bullying a scholar? If you don't agree, fight me!"
The guards beside him stepped out at the same time, with determination on their faces.
"kill!"
The spring thunder exploded on this land!
Zhang Tianxiong was about to agree!
Why are you pretending to be so cool with me?
However, he thought again that arresting Chen Changan could be said to be the Prince of Huainan's family affair, and if there was a conflict with Li Wuling, the prince would be in big trouble.
Zhang Tianxiong forced himself to hold back his anger: "Don't worry, we will meet one day!"
"Old General, I just have one question!"
"Do you really want to see the father and son of the Huainan King turn against each other, and the Ninth Prince fight against the enemy with an egg, and you will be happy if he dies?"
Li Wuling frowned and remained silent.
He had never been optimistic about Chen Changan in the first place, and after seeing Tiefutu's momentum today, Chen Changan became even more arrogant.
What else could Li Wuling say?
Chen Changan walked out and roared, "It's still unclear who will die! Zhang Tianxiong, go back and tell the King of Huainan!"
"Tomorrow, Chen Changan will swear to kill Tie Fu Tu!"
“…The reputation is ruined!”
