Mu Jinghua is not worried.

He just wanted to kill those who blamed Xu Shu.

What do they know?

Why do they?

them……

very noisy.

Good damn.

But the current situation was obviously not suitable for him to be willful, so Mu Jinghua had to suppress his inner annoyance and see what Qiao Jianhong was trying to do.

Bai Danchen also saw Qiao Jianhong and heard the noise and dissatisfaction of the people around him. He knew more about the affairs of the court than Mu Jinghua. He guessed what Qiao Jianhong wanted to do and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Shu.

Even if I get the top spot, I'm afraid it won't be that glorious.

He glanced at Mu Jinghua, a little uncertain: "Amu, what exactly is the conflict between Xu Shu and Qiao Jianhong?"

It was possible that Qiao Jianhong was so intolerant that he came even with injuries to ruin Xu Shu's assessment.

Just because his title of top scholar was not legitimate.

Mu Jinghua snorted: "Xu Shu has no grudge against him."

"To be honest, Xu Shu has always been more tolerant and patient with him than others. If not for this..."

If not for this, Qiao Jianhong would have died in his hands long ago.

But Mu Jinghua didn't intend to tell Bai Danchen this, and there was no time to say it.

Bai Danchen is an official of the imperial court, so naturally he would not join in with the common people who came to join in the fun, so Mu Jinghua was now sitting in an attic, leaning on the railing and looking down.

With a good view, he clearly saw Qiao Jianhong dodge the arrow in Xu Shu's hand, waved it in his hand, and said loudly: "Too light, change to a heavier one."

There were exclamations from the crowd: "Qiao Jianhong is truly a god. He is clearly injured, yet he thinks this ten-jin bow is not enough."

"Who said it must be ten kilograms?" Someone immediately said in a cold voice, "The contestant is Mr. Xu, but he is a big shot in the eyes of His Majesty. Although the competition rules stipulate that a bow weighing ten kilograms must be used, this..."

"They are so partial to him? It's ridiculous."

"No." Mu Jinghua said coldly.

The first people to understand the situation were naturally the teachers from the aristocratic families who were qualified to sit in the attic and observe. They were also the first to start a discussion. With Mu Jinghua among them, any voice of rebuttal seemed particularly harsh.

Everyone immediately looked at Mu Jinghua.

Of course, the first person they noticed was Bai Danchen behind Mu Jinghua.

"Mr. Bai, why are you still so pampering a stranger today?"

Another person saw Mu Jinghua's appearance and laughed sarcastically, "Since he is so handsome, Mr. Bai is naturally a little spoiled. Don't be surprised."

"Who do you think you are?" Bai Danchen glared at the person who was speaking. It was the young master of the Liu family who always liked to pick a fight with him in the court. "This is my nephew. The young master below, Xu Shu, is the son-in-law of my Bai family."

"A son-in-law who can ride on the dragon's back?" Another burst of sneer broke out from the crowd.

Liu Wu, the young master of the Liu family, was not afraid at all when Bai Danchen glared at him, and he smiled arrogantly.

He held his stomach, pretending to be in pain, and pointed at Mu Jinghua: "Let's not talk about how you, Bai Danchen, have a nephew, let's talk about Chenglong..."

With a whoosh, an arrow pierced Liu Wu's sleeve, instantly blocking what he was about to say.

Liu Wu was shocked and frightened. He pulled out the arrow with a dark face, swept his eyes over the people present, and finally slowly fell down to the ground.

In the center of the field, Xu Shu had just put down the bow in his hand.

"Xu Shu!" Liu Wu recognized Xu Shu and said angrily, "How dare you shoot me?"

Xu Shu didn't recognize him. He glanced at him slowly but didn't reply. Instead, he smiled at Qiao Jianhong embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, General. I said I would help you shoot the bow, but I didn't expect that my aim is really bad."

"Bad aim?" Liu Wu, who was shot, looked even darker when he heard this. "How dare you tease me?"

He rolled up his sleeves and said he was going to go down and fight with Xu Shu.

Qiao Jianhong glared at him, signaling him not to cause trouble, but he said to Qiao Jianhong: "General, there is no need for you to take action against such scoundrels."

Xu Shu was immediately amused: "Sir, are you planning to compete with me so that I can lose miserably? Are you willing to do that?"

It was the first time that Liu Wu heard someone describe his defeat in this way. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He just followed Xu Shu's words and said, "That's right. I will teach you a lesson today."

"Okay." Xu Shu smiled at Qiao Jianhong, "General, you won't give Mr. Liu face, will you?"

Qiao Jianhong snorted, which was really shameless: "Why should I give face to this bastard?"

After hearing this, Xu Shu was speechless.

I just thought that Qiao Jianhong did have some ability after all. He would go to such lengths to ruin his reputation.

Originally, Mu Tonghai wanted to force him to take part in the military examination and divide the military power between Qiao Jianhong, which created the rumor that he was valued by the emperor. This had already put him in the spotlight. Now that he was being used by Qiao Jianhong, the public opinion about him immediately turned negative.

Qiao Jianhong was seriously injured, but he still insisted on competing with him, which put him in a dilemma.

If he won, it would be an unfair victory as he bullied the injured Qiao Jianhong.

He lost because his skills were not good enough and he couldn’t even beat an injured Qiao Jianhong.

Originally, when he saw Liu Wu jumping around in the crowd, he knew that this man was destined to be a man of great character and would force himself to stand out once he was teased.

Hearing him teasing Xiao Mujin again, she decided to take advantage of the situation and shot him with an arrow. This not only teased the man, but also gave Xiao Mujin a chance to vent her anger.

He could also follow everyone's wishes and play the role of a "fool". After all, his accuracy was so bad that he aimed at the target but hit someone else.

Although many people saw that he was aiming at Liu Wu.

But there were no cameras or mobile phones in ancient times, so it was natural to just follow what Xu Shu said.

But now Qiao Jianhong was so shameless that he didn't give Liu Wu any face at all and insisted on competing with him.

Xu Shu sighed.

Now there are only two paths before him.

First, Qiao Jianhong felt guilty and walked down the stairs, asking Xu Shu to give Liu Wu a good beating to get back his grievances.

Both of them were happy, and Xu Shu believed that any conflicts in the future could be easily discussed.

After all, Qiao Jianhong is not a person who cares about the power in his hands. He would be wary of Xu Shu becoming too famous when participating in the martial arts examination. He probably just thinks that Mu Tonghai is secretly doing something behind his back.

Xu Shu even suspected that Qiao Jianhong should have seen through Mu Tonghai's true identity a long time ago. The reason why he didn't kill Mu Tonghai was just because he was afraid of the system in his hands and the little bit of control over the plot.

Second, when competing with Qiao Jianhong, he created something bigger to attract other people's attention so that everyone would not care whether he got the top prize through unspoken rules.

As for what kind of thing can be big enough to attract other people's attention.

Xu Shu waved his fist.

Of course, the shameless guy Qiao Jianhong should be beaten to death.
