The prince is very cruel

But the current situation is indeed unfavorable to He Zhijie. After thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea!

"Even so, Shangyin Pavilion is such a holy place, under tens of thousands of eyes, it's not easy to bully an old man, right?"

"Isn't respecting the elderly and loving the young a model for Confucian scholars?"

"To defeat a minority with a superior force is not what a gentleman does!"

The voice was loud, neither humble nor arrogant, and well-reasoned, so many people heard it. The scholars here nodded secretly: "Yes, yes."

Seeing this, Qin Ke was displeased, but couldn't find words to refute.

Guan Ning then said loudly, "Why don't you put him down and I'll convince him to leave on his own?"

"You?" Qin Ke said disdainfully.

"Yes, it's me!" Guan Ning said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The people at Shangyin Pavilion were talking in low voices and seemed hesitant. After all, He Zhijie was too famous, and throwing it out like this would easily lead to criticism.

Qin Ke finally gave in: "Okay, Guan Ning, right? I'll remember you."

"I hope you can tactfully leave, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Guan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and then turned around and ran to He Zhijie.

"Let me go, let me go!"

"A bunch of hypocrites!" He Zhijie struggled and cursed.

The servants who surrounded them did not leave.

"Mr. He." Guan Ning bowed first. After all, the elder of the Wensheng lineage, who refused to be an official and only sought knowledge, was a wise man worthy of respect.

He wanted to recruit this capable person more than anyone else.

He Zhijie first glanced at the scholars around him who dared not speak, and said: "Humph, among all the scholars in the courtyard, except him, there is no man!"

Sharp words that hit home.

Suddenly, countless scholars blushed and became extremely angry.

Guan Ning was at a loss for words. Is this a serious scholar? Even cursing can penetrate armor!

"Mr. He, stop talking."

"If you keep talking, we'll all be kicked out."

"Just chase me away. The worst that can happen is that I'll die here, with blood splattered everywhere. Then we'll see what people in the world will say about Shangyinge!" He Zhijie shouted, deliberately saying it for Qin Ke to hear.

Qin Ke's face turned dark.

"Ahem, well, Mr. He, why don't you go out first?"

"Boy, I promise to help you get the Four Treasures of the Study." Guan Ning raised his eyebrows and suddenly whispered so that only the two of them could hear.

He Zhijie was stunned for a moment: "You?"

"Little kid, you're no match for them. Although these guys are low-class, they're well prepared. They probably knew the questions posed by Shangyin Pavilion in advance."

"This is not a poetry gathering, but a contest for fame and fortune." He was straightforward and refused to give in.

Guan Ning nodded. The word "internal appointment" has been like this since ancient times.

"But it's useless for you to be here, Mr. He. It would be such a shame if you were really killed. You wouldn't be able to eat meat and drink wine, travel around, or enjoy the beauty of the moon. It's better to trust me. I will definitely help you get it!"

He Zhijie paused for a moment when he heard this.

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because I have a request of yours. As long as you agree to a condition that does not violate the integrity of a scholar, I will help you get the Four Treasures of the Study." Guan Ning said frankly.

Such honesty and asking for help from others are obviously a thousand times better than those hypocritical hypocrites.

He Zhijie's eyes kept changing under his messy hair. He had a good impression of Guan Ning, but he really couldn't think of any reason why Guan Ning could win.

"Mr. He, don't hesitate."

"Trust me once, I will never let you down!" Guan Ning urged.

He Zhijie frowned, and finally looked at the servants who were surrounded by no room for him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you can help me get back the four treasures of the study of the sage and prevent these hypocrites from making fun of me, don't mention one condition, I will agree to ten!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning was ecstatic!

It may be difficult for others to win the championship among the many heroes in Shangyin Pavilion, which is a dangerous place with hundreds of schools of thought, but for Guan Ning, it is not a big deal!

"Okay, then Mr. He, wait for me outside."

He Zhijie took a deep breath and finally chose to believe Guan Ning. It was out of helplessness, but also out of a sense of trust in Guan Ning that came inexplicably. He felt that Guan Ning was not a person who spoke nonsense.

Before leaving, he turned back and angrily said, "Within ten years, Shangyin Pavilion will collapse!"
