Once again, they entered the underground altar from the middle path. There was no difference from the last time. It was still the old man, Lu Ban, who wanted to give Guhan and the others a college entrance examination. There were no changes to the subjects of the examination. Guhan was still responsible for the history exercises.
After the first few multiple-choice questions, Guhan was surprised to find that there were three repeated questions.
What did this mean?
This meant that there were not many questions in this instance dungeon. Out of the eight exercises, there were three repeated questions. According to his calculations, the number of questions in the question bank should be around 80 to 200.
This was a very low number. Generally, there were more than tens of thousands of questions in the question bank. However, there were less than 200 questions in the question bank. This meant that as long as someone was willing to collect the questions, they could quickly restore 95% of the entire question bank. That way, even players who did not understand any of the subjects could rely on rote memorization to get a high score and get into the second or first book. They would not need to face too powerful opponents to reach the Dimensional Altar.
Guhan's discovery just happened to confirm the truth that Long Yu had guessed before … that man was truly a terrifying man.
These eight multiple-choice questions, in addition to the short answer question, Guhan perfectly answered all of them. As long as he answered the last short answer question correctly, Guhan would be able to get full marks in this history exam.
…
When Guhan entered the examination room for the last short answer question, he was surprised to find that this question was repeated. It was also the scene of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang killing the Imperial Concubine with tears in his eyes.
With the first scene, Guhan could calmly watch the group of puppets act in front of him. The eunuchs came out to report the news. Then, the Thousand Ox Guards came out to ask for Yang Guifei's death. Guhan nodded in agreement. Then, two soldiers rushed in and pulled Yang Guifei out.
Then, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"Your Majesty!
Save me!
Your Majesty, Yuhuan does not want to die!
Yuhuan wants to accompany Your Majesty for the rest of her life!
Your Majesty, save Yuhuan! "
Hmm, even the lines haven't changed. Can't the designers of this puppet theater be more thoughtful?
However, something that shocked Guhan happened. This time, the woman that was dragged out didn't look like King Yue, but Yi Tian. This was quite interesting. Why did it look like Yi Tian?
Could it be because he had used the Heavenly Sword more often in this instance dungeon?
Alright, since it was Yi Tian who was going to act as Yang Guifei, Guhan didn't feel any pressure at all.
"Your Majesty, I'm Yuhuan, your favorite Yuhuan!"
Although Guhan didn't say a word to stop Yang Yuhuan from being dragged out, Yang Yuhuan somehow broke free from the three soldiers and staggered to Guhan's back before hugging his waist tightly. "Your Majesty, Yuhuan knows that you can't bear to part with Yuhuan. You can't bear to part with Yuhuan.
Your Majesty, please save Yuhuan! "
"Your Majesty!"
Chen Xuanli knelt down heavily in front of Gu Han again, and continued to say the lines that he had already said before, "Your Majesty, please put aside your personal feelings and think about the hearts of the army and the people, Your Majesty!
Yang Yuhuan must die! She must be killed! Otherwise, the hearts of the soldiers will not be at ease! "
Next, the thousands of puppet soldiers kneeling on the ground raised their heads and looked at Guhan. They used their eyes to tell Guhan that if he didn't kill Yang Yuhuan, they would rebel like last time.
"Your Majesty!"
Yang Yuhuan, who looked exactly like Yi Tian, was so frightened that her beautiful face trembled. She hugged Guhan even tighter, unwilling to let go for even a moment. She begged bitterly. "Your Majesty, please save Yuhuan! Yuhuan doesn't want to die! I don't want to leave Your Majesty!"
"Sigh, Yuhuan, you are wrong!"
Guhan sighed and patted the head of Yang Yuhuan, who looked like Yi Tian. "Everyone will die one day. It may be as heavy as Mount Tai, or as light as a goose feather.
Yuhuan, you died for my Tang Dynasty. I will always remember you.
Don't worry, after I die, I will go to the netherworld to find you! "
Probably because he was angered by Yi Tian's performance today, Guhan actually said such a line that was very suitable for the plot. Then, he firmly pried Yang Yuhuan's arm away and said to Chen Xuanli. "General Chen, you are right. If Yang Yuhuan doesn't die, the people won't be convinced.
Go find a white silk and send the imperial concubine on her way! "
"Yes!
Your Majesty! "
Chen Xuanli stood up excitedly. Then, he pulled out a piece of white silk from somewhere. Then, the two wolf-like soldiers dragged Yu Huan away from Gu Han's side.
Chen Xuanli personally grabbed both ends of the white silk and put it around Yang Yuhuan's neck. He was about to break Yang Yuhuan's throat.
"Your Majesty … Save me … This concubine loves Your Majesty the most … Your Majesty … You promised this concubine … Regardless of life or death, you will always be with this concubine, Your Majesty!!!"
Yang Yuhuan cried out intermittently like an old cat. As she cried out, Guhan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Even Yi Tian's face, which he originally hated, had suddenly become a bit more moving … ….
"The Han Emperor valued women and desired to topple the country … The Yang Family had a daughter who had just grown up and was raised in a boudoir.
She was born beautiful and could not be abandoned. She was chosen to be by the Emperor's side.
She looked back and smiled charmingly, and all the beauties in the six palaces lost their color.
The servants helped her up, delicate and weak. It was the time for a new person to receive the Emperor's grace … The spring night was bitter and short, and the sun rose high. From then on, the Emperor did not attend morning court … There were three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand beauties were doted on her. "
At this moment, background music suddenly sounded. Then, it was a long sad rendition of Li Bai's Song of Everlasting Regret.
(That's right, the Song of Everlasting Regret was written by Li Bai. It had nothing to do with Bai Juyi. This was the consensus of the historians in the year 3001.)
When Guhan heard this, he realized that it was played with a f * cking erhu.
Damn it, isn't this a little too against the rules … Using such a sad instrument like the erhu to play a song of everlasting regret, what is the meaning of this?
Also, it's been three minutes. A normal person should have been strangled to death by now, right?
How could this woman with Yi Tian's ugly face stretch out an arm to beg him to save her … Your scriptwriter was sent by Qiong Yao, right?!
The 40 points he lost last time clearly told Guhan that as long as he didn't care about Yang Yuhuan's life and death and let her be strangled according to history, he would be able to get points right.
In the beginning, Guhan had indeed thought that way. After all, this Yi Tian made him feel so uncomfortable, so why should he care about her life?
However, at this moment, Guhan's heart was in a mess. Seeing his own swordmistress pleading in front of him, Guhan's heart was still in a mess!
"Then let me ask you again. Since you know that she isn't your swordmistress, why are you still protecting her?"
Suddenly, this question surfaced in Guhan's mind. This was what Lu Ban had asked him after he had finished answering the previous question.
Gu Han clearly remembered that his answer was like this:
"My swordmistress, even if she only has the same face, I, the Military Governor, will not allow any harm to befall her!"
… …
"Let her go!"
Guhan's eyes glinted as he flew over to Yang Yuhuan's side and sent the two soldiers who were trapping Yang Yuhuan flying. Then, he tore the white ribbon around her neck and hugged Yang Yuhuan in his arms.
"It's just 40 points … How can I, the Military Governor, lose my reputation for 40 points?"
Guhan unsheathed the Yue King's Goujian Sword from his back. During the previous battle, the Yue King hadn't been by his side, so Guhan had only been able to use the ancient sword grade Qingpin Sword to fight.
This time, Guhan had used the Heavenly Sword to disappear. The Yue King's Goujian Sword was still on his back, unscathed.
With the Yue King's Goujian Sword in hand and an additional 1,500 quarks of sword essence, Guhan's strength had increased severalfold.
"This time, I might not be your match, but don't even think about taking me down so easily!
I will make you puppets pay the price! "Guhan pointed the tip of his sword at Chen Xuanli's nose.
"Although I don't understand what Your Majesty means, Your Majesty, I sincerely ask that Your Majesty reconsider!"
However, this subject Chen Xuanli pleads for Your Majesty to reconsider! "When Chen Xuanli heard Gu Han's words, he immediately kowtowed heavily on the ground.
"Your Majesty!
Please reconsider! "
More than a thousand puppets shouted in unison. Just like the previous time, as long as Guhan didn't agree to their request, a battle would be unavoidable.
"There's no need to reconsider, my sword lady. Even if she only has the same face, I, the Military Governor, will not allow any harm to befall her!"
Guhan repeated what he had said to Lu Ban. However, this time, Guhan's reply was even more resolute and decisive.
"Your Majesty!
Forgive me! "
When Chen Xuanli saw that Guhan had made up his mind, he kowtowed to Guhan one last time before standing up. "Thousand Bull Guards, raise your spears!
Send the Imperial Consort on her way! "
More than a thousand soldiers raised their wooden spears at the same time and aimed them at Guhan and the Heavenly Sword behind him.
"This time, I will show you something new!"
In the previous battle, Guhan had only had the Qingpin Sword, so he had only been able to use his Nine Swords of the Mysterious Sky to fight the Thousand Bull Guards. However, this time, with the Yue King's Sword in hand, Guhan's battle tactics had many new tricks.
As long as these tactics and techniques were used appropriately, Guhan might not necessarily lose to the Thousand Bull Guards.
"Go, send His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine on their way!" With Chen Xuanli's order, more than a thousand Thousand Bull Guards charged towards Guhan.
"Courting death …" Gu Han's Yue King Gou Jian only needed a single slash to decapitate a Thousand Bull Guard puppet. Following that, Gu Han followed up with a "Mysterious Heaven Nine Swords – Sword Descends the Abyss" Sword Qi, reducing the eight puppets behind him that were attempting to attack him to dust. The remaining five puppets behind the eight puppets were also sliced in two by the residual Sword Qi.
Although a single sword qi could kill 13 spear-wielding puppets, the sword essence in Guhan's body could only support 40 sword qi at most. Multiplied by 13 people, it was only 500 Thousand Bull Guards. There were more than a thousand Thousand Bull Guards here, as well as Chen Xuanli, who had frightening offensive and defensive abilities. It seemed like there was no way Guhan could win this battle.
But was that really the case?
At the place where the 13 spear-wielding puppets had died, a young man with bulging muscles crawled out from the corpses of the puppets. Above his head were two dark purple words, "Hundred Yue Sword Slave".
This was the Yue King's Sword's passive skill, King of Hundred Yue: In battle, every attack has a 5% chance of summoning a Hundred Yue Sword Slave. The Sword Slave has 15% of the attributes of the Yue King, Goujian. Based on the grade of the Sword Lady, the maximum number of Sword Slaves that can be summoned is three, and the maximum number of Sword Slaves is 20.
