Chapter 379: People Are Valuable With Self-Knowledge
There were far more people from Donghao who paid attention to the content of the notice in front of Zhong Shuai's mansion than those from Bei'an, so naturally they couldn't stand Hong Yeke's arrogance. Soon someone stood up and competed with Hong Yeke.
However, although Hong Yeke looks like a person with poor character and solid knowledge, he is not very good at poetry, songs and essays, but even can tell the truth about the people and government.
Four or five Donghao scholars were defeated in front of him, and Hong Yeke became more and more arrogant and laughed.
Gu Zhao watched coldly and found that Hong Yeke looked arrogant, but in fact he was still sensible. After winning, he would ridicule his opponent, but he never involved a dispute between the two countries. Obviously, he was prepared for it and just wanted to limit the victory of this debate to a purely intellectual scope, so as not to cause negative effects.
Gu Zhao sneered in his heart. Did he think the world is his back garden? Everything will operate according to his presets? It's ridiculous.
Although all the scholars who had made a few of the top Donghao lost to Hong Yeke, the other Donghao people did not feel impressed, but instead looked at Hong Yeke with hostile eyes.
Hong Yeke's two companions were sitting on pins and pins and pins down, constantly pulling his arm and urging him to leave. Hong Yeke refused to retreat, and still looked around with full fighting spirit. "I heard that many talented people in the world have emerged, and I want to ask for advice today, but I didn't expect that there was no enemy in one place at all. It's really regrettable."
"I wonder if anyone else is willing to come out and compete with me, Hong Yeke?"
If it weren't for so many guards from the Zhongshun Mansion standing around, the Donghao people would have been unable to help but beat Hong Yeke.
For six or seven years, the Donghao people had already regarded this place as their territory and the Bei'an people in Douchuan Pass as a humble existence. On weekdays, even when they were walking on the road, the Bei'an people would avoid them when they saw them. They went to the restaurants of Bei'an people to eat without paying money. If they were unhappy, they could lose their temper and smash them, and no one would care.
Who would have been used to slapping the Bei'an people? Who would be willing to see Hong Yeke, a Bei'an people showing off their power in front of them?
It was precisely because Hong Yeke saw this occasion that he dared to be so arrogant. Otherwise, why didn’t he go to other places in Douchuan Pass to provoke?
He himself knew that if he changed the place, even if he won consecutive victories, he might be killed by the angry Donghao people.
Then, it will be meaningless to spread reputation into Zhongkewei's ears. Zhongkewei will not even ask more questions for him, the dead Bei'an native.
Donghao people were not convinced, but they had no confidence to beat Hong Yeke. They did not dare to attack at the door of Zhongshun’s mansion, and were unwilling to retreat, so they just stared at Hong Yeke fiercely.
For a moment, there was a dark confrontation beside the gate of Zhong Shuai's mansion.
The other Bei'an people had already seen the situation not going well and sneaked away, fearing that they would be affected by the fish. Even Hong Yeke's two companions, after repeatedly dissuading him ineffective, quietly retreated to both sides and hid in the crowd.
Hong Yeke faced nearly a hundred Donghao people alone, and his expression remained unchanged. In this regard, Gu Zhao also admired him very much.
Gu Zhao never spoke, but her size and appearance were like standing there, which had long attracted the attention of other Donghao people.
Several Donghao people moved towards Gu Zhao and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, you are so arrogant. You are not an ordinary person at first glance. How dare you ask for your surname?"
Gu Zhao did not hide it and said openly, "The family branch is the only one who walks with light."
When he heard that he was a member of the He family, the other Donghao people next to him also lit up their eyes and couldn't help but surround Gu Zhao, "The family of the Golden Wolf Noble? I'm really disrespectful."
Gu Zhao made a few polite words to them, with a calm expression.
Finally someone couldn't help it and encouraged her to say, "Young Master He, this Bei'an stupid pig is so arrogant. He actually spoke wildly in front of the Zhongmaster's Mansion and did not take us Dahao seriously at all!"
"If so many of us today can't beat him alone, wouldn't we lose all the face of Dahao?"
"Young Master He, you are from a famous family and have outstanding temperament. You must be of top talent. Why don't you stand up and suppress his arrogance?"
Someone beating the drums on the side, "Yes, if Mr. He can defeat this rampant Hong Yeke, he will definitely be famous and will be the first to be the first in the exam this time."
Gu Zhao glanced at them coldly, "You are easy to eloquent, and you can see that you are extremely skillful. Why not stand out and compete with Hong Yeke?"
"As this person said just now, once you win, you will gain a reputation and the top name is within your fingertips."
These two sentences made both of them lower their heads. One of them said embarrassedly, "I have only a little knowledge and are not his opponent."
Seeing that they were restrained, Gu Zhao didn't say anything more.
These people still want to use her as a knife. Do you really think she is a fledgling young man, and you will be fooled if you praise or arouse him?
Gu Zhao didn't provoke Hong Yeke, but Hong Yeke had noticed her long ago.
The reason is very simple. Against the backdrop of a group of short people, Gu Zhao is really handsome, with long eyebrows and broad eyes, a sparse expression, and a straightforward demeanor, and outstanding.
In addition, Gu Zhao has been watching with his hands behind his back. No matter who wins or loses, her expression has not changed much. Compared with those little dwarfs who win and scratch their heads, they look even more out of the world.
Before, Gu Zhao was standing alone, just like a passerby, but he didn't know what happened just now, and the Donghao people actually began to surround her in the center, as if stars were holding the moon, all of them looked up at her, with respect in their eyes.
Could it be that this person is actually the leader of Dong Hao Shilin?
Hong Yeke immediately developed a huge interest.
This man watched for a long time and did not dare to fight. It was obvious that he believed that his level was not as good as his. Since this was the case, he should take advantage of the victory and trampled these Shilin leaders in the minds of Donghao people. Today is perfect!
"Brother, please!" Hong Yeke bowed to Gu Zhao's direction.
Gu Zhao was a little surprised and confirmed that Hong Yeke was greeting him, and in accordance with the etiquette of the noble Donghao, he replied slowly, "Brother Hong is polite."
