Chapter 1056 556 Deliberately Provoking a Trap
"Woo..." Three melodious horns sounded.
The crowded and noisy square just now fell silent. Those young people who were preparing to participate in the selection were all excited. If they listened carefully, they could even hear their rapid heartbeats.
Everyone knows that as soon as the trumpet stops, the recruitment election of Longyan College officially begins.
At the same time as the trumpet sounded, ten huge long swords were carried into the selection arena and erected high.
"What is this, what is it for?"
"It won't be used for assessment, why have you never seen it in the previous recruitment election?"
In the originally quiet square, there was a sound of discussion again, and everyone's faces showed surprise.
"Silence!" Before they could discuss the result, a majestic voice sounded, and an old man dressed in a black sword robe slowly walked up to the only high platform behind the audience, watching calmly below.
His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderous thunder that exploded in the hearts of everyone. His stature was not tall, but he was as vigorous and powerful as an ancient pine tree. Heart.
The whole square was calm again.
"Old husband Gong Hongru, this time the recruitment and election of Longyan College will be monitored by this old man. No matter the family or the children of the commoners, they will all be treated equally, and no one should cheat for their own interests. Gong Hongru's voice resounded throughout the audience.
The swordsmen who were lining up to participate in the general election were all shocked, and some of the people who had expected to rely on their family background to make a career were even paler.
Although Longyan College and several other colleges, the slogan of each recruiting election is the same, and no one is allowed to cheat, but it is easier said than done. No matter how detached the status of the four major colleges is, they can't be detached from the world, and there will always be some contacts with major families.
So many times, the rules are dead and people are alive. As long as one's aptitude and strength are really decent, even if it is a little bit worse, as long as someone intercedes, he can still be selected by the academy.
But this time the situation is obviously different. This time, it is not someone else who is in charge of supervision, but Gong Hongru, who is known for his unselfishness. As one of the three rumored masters of Longyan College, many times even the head of the academy wants him to give him three points, and his words carry a lot of weight. Not to mention ordinary aristocratic families, even the eight major families in the capital, even the royal family, he doesn't have to give face.
As soon as Gong Hongru opened his mouth, he said the ugly words to the front, obviously warning the major families and giants, but also a threat. Didn't you hear what he said? Before the academy could take action, he himself would not be lighthearted.
That is to say, if someone else is caught cheating, there may be room for manoeuvre for the overall situation of the academy, but if it falls into Gong Hongru's hands, he will not consider the overall situation at all, even if he gives up the whole situation. When he leaves the academy as mentor Long, he has to do what he says, and he will not give the face of the nobles of the wealthy and powerful families.
"Otherwise, I'd better not participate this time, you go." A teenager in front wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a dry smile.
Obviously, this person was a son of a noble family who had prepared in advance and was ready to fish in the waters of the recruitment election. Hearing Gong Hongru's undisguised warnings or threats, how could he dare to take risks. He touched Gong Hongru's bad head, not to mention himself, and even the family may suffer.
"We're not going either, the big deal is that we'll try other colleges in a few days." Several other people also laughed dryly, sweating profusely.
Soon, some aristocratic family members left the team.
Seeing this, there was boos in the square.
As soon as they left, the eyes of the rest of the team looked a little more radiant. Originally, there were not many places, and if some of them were cheating for personal gain, of course, the remaining people had a better chance.
"Hmph, a bunch of rubbish, they've lost all the faces of the children of our noble family." At this moment, several young swordsmen dressed in fancy clothes squeezed into the team and said disdainfully as they walked forward.
As soon as they saw them coming, the first few people hurried back out and respectfully handed them the number plates in their hands.
Seeing this posture, everyone understood that these people were obviously children of aristocratic families. Not only did someone help them get the number plate in advance, but they even saved the trouble of queuing.
"Good dogs don't stand in the way, so please get away from me. With this kind of stuff, I'm too embarrassed to participate in the general election of Longyan College!" The entrance was already crowded. The famous gang squeezed back again, and the crowd became even more crowded. The young man at the head scolded impatiently and kicked a young swordsman on the back.
"What are you doing?" The young swordsman turned around and turned out to be Tang Bufan.
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Qiu said, the good dog won't stand in the way, let you go away." The other children of the noble family who looked like followers gave Tang Bufan a contemptuous look and said.
"Don't deceive people too much!" Tang Bufan looked at each other angrily.
"I'm bullying you, so what can you do? A mere ninth-rank swordsman pariah, who dares to participate in the general election of Longyan College, and is not afraid of losing face. It is our shame to run with people like you." The young man smiled contemptuously.
"What did you say!" The anger on Tang Bufan's face grew stronger.
Not only him, but other young swordsmen from civilian backgrounds also showed anger, and even other children of noble families frowned.
Gong Hongru just said that this election will be treated equally, but this person is still putting on the air of being a son of his family, which is too arrogant.
Speaking of which, there are quite a few descendants of aristocratic families in the team, and it is not a big deal to ask the servants to help get the license plate. It's bound to be too much.
"Do you want me to say it again? The untouchables who don't know the sky and the earth, get out of here immediately, or I will abolish you now." The young man said coldly with a cold expression on his face.
"Okay, okay, I want to see how you abolished me?" Tang Bufan moved his wrist and grabbed the hilt abruptly.
Seeing that Tang Bufan was about to make a move, Mu Hanyan moved and blocked Tang Bufan's body.
Tang Bufan was only a ninth-rank swordsman, and the young man in front of him, if Mu Hanyan was not mistaken, at least was a master swordsman, and Tang Bufan would definitely not be able to take advantage of it.
"Yo, there are still people who dare to meddle in this son's own business, but they are not small." The young man glanced up and down at Mu Hanyan, and said contemptuously.
"Apologize," Mu Hanyan said coldly, too lazy to talk nonsense.
