Chapter 137: Li Ke, King of Shu

Lu Zhaolin was surprised. When he came to Yizhou, he heard about Xiao Jiading's seven-step poem defeat against Zhong Wenbo, and he also read Xiao Jiading's poems, which were indeed very exciting, but in the competition between the two poetry societies, the two faced off, and Xiao Jiading actually wrote a poem about the mountain villager, which disappointed Lu Zhaolin, and he looked down on him in his heart, thinking that it was just a waste of fame. He accepted the invitation just now, which was also based on this mentality, but now that he saw Xiao Jiading so confident, he suddenly remembered that he saw several poems in the knockout competition made by Xiao Jiading in the morning at the speed of seven steps into poems, which were really excellent grades. If you think about it, you really want to win against the other party, but I'm afraid that you don't have this certainty. If you lose and learn to bark dogs, then if you really lose, if you lie on the ground and learn how to bark dogs, what face do you have to go back to Beijing? But if you agree to the other party's proposal, you will lose only the folding fan, and the advantage you will take is too great, and now there are onlookers all around, but you can't afford to be ashamed.

was hesitating, Su Yunxia on the side said: "Both of them are talented and talented people, and what they do should naturally be romantic, how to learn from that child to learn to bark on the ground?" Although it is also childlike, it is not suitable for the identity of the two, so it is better to bet on the folding fan in your hand. ”

Lu Zhaolin knew that it might be difficult to win, so he had already retreated, Su Yunxia's words just gave him a step, and he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey at the moment, smiled faintly, and said: "Since Su Tanhua said so, if you don't obey your fate, you won't give Tanhua Su Cainu's face." Okay, let's bet on the folding fans in each hand. How to bet? ”

Xiao Jiading glanced at Tang Lin not far away, saw him smiling, and knew that he was very satisfied with the way he dealt with it now, and couldn't help but relax in his heart, he knew that Tang Lin's intention was to try to use Lu Zhaolin to improve his reputation, so he must be convinced. At the moment: "The so-called text is not the first, if we write a poem, but we can't find a suitable referee, let's take the quantity as the judging standard, in the time of a pillar of incense, limit the topic, who makes the most poems, who wins, the poetry rhythm is not limited, fully displayed." How is it? ”

Zhong Wenbo interjected on the side: "If you write something that is thin and thick, there is no problem with writing a hundred capitals on a pillar of incense!" ”

Xiao Jiading said lightly: "As long as there is one poem in my poems that makes Brother Lu feel that it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, I will lose!" ”

Lu Zhaolin nodded slowly and said, "It's all the same!" What's the theme? ”

"I said the way, and the topic was chosen by Brother Lu."

Who chooses the topic is a big deal. The person who chooses the topic can choose the topic he is best at, and the chance of winning is very big. But Lu Zhaolin held his own identity. But he is not willing to take advantage of this. said: "Let's use the question box of the competition, and ask a middleman to draw it." ”

Xiao Jiading waved his hand and said, "No need, just Brother Lu to ask the question, so that we will be fair!" ”

Zhong Wenbo on the side hurriedly said, "Since this kid is so arrogant, Brother Lu." You're all set! Let him see what a real genius is, and when he wins his folding fan, Lao Tzu will pull a bubble of on it! ”

Hearing him say such foul language, Huang Shiyun and the other women frowned and twisted their faces. A face full of disdain.

Lu Zhaolin also frowned and glanced at him, thinking to himself that this last Yizhou No. 1 talent, how can he be so virtuous?

Xiao Jiading squinted at him and said, "Our gamble was caused by Brother Zhong, but now Brother Zhong is out of the way, it's always not okay?" That's good, I'm one against two, and the two of you make quatrains combined, more than me or as much as I do, even if I lose! ”

Is the same a loss? Damn, this is too cost-effective, Zhong Wenbo immediately pointed at Xiao Jiading and said, "This is what you ...... said?" As soon as I said this, I remembered the bet of the two just now, so I should make it clear first, lest I lose if I lose, and the other party wants to lie on the ground and learn the dog barking, which will be miserable, and I am busy and said: "If we lose, I will only lose the folding fan!" ”

"The bet is naturally the same, of course, if Brother Zhong is willing to take my previous bet, then the two of us can also use the previous bet, whoever loses will learn to bark!"

Xiao Jiading didn't want to make Lu Zhaolin too ugly, but he didn't mind letting Zhong Wenbo make a fool of himself, because what Tang Lin wanted was for him to find a way to be famous as much as possible, and this was a great opportunity to be famous. He also saw that when he proposed a bet with Zhong Wenbo just now, Tang Lin's face did not change at all.

Zhong Wenbo was suddenly ecstatic, this was a good opportunity for revenge, and he joined forces with Lu Zhaolin, he didn't believe that he couldn't fight Xiao Jiading. As long as Dou Shi defeats the other party and lets the other party lie on the ground and learn to bark in front of everyone, then any revenge will be avenged. Immediately said: "Okay, okay, this is what you said, if the two of us write more poems than you or as many as you, you will lose!" You're going to get on the ground and the dog barks......"

"No way!" Lu Zhaolin, who was on the side, interrupted him, "Two against one, what's the comparison?" ”

Zhong Wenbo hurriedly said: "Brother Lu! He came up with the idea! This kid is so arrogant that he has no one in his sights! Looking down on the first talent of our two poetry clubs, we must teach him a good lesson and let him reap the consequences! Lie on the ground and learn to bark at school! ”

Lu Zhaolin shook his head and said, "Let's take two to one, I won't take advantage of this!" ”

Zhong Wenbo said hurriedly: "It's okay! He did it on himself! Let him learn to bark! It must be very good-looking......! ”

As soon as he said this, he saw a pair of eyes full of disappointment and disgust in the crowd of onlookers thrown towards him, seeing these beautiful eyes, Zhong Wenbo was full of cleverness, and quickly patted the folding fan in his hand, and said: "Don't learn to bark dogs, don't Sven, it doesn't fit our identity, poetry exchanges, lose a folding fan, it's also a good story." Right? ”

Xiao Jiading had been paying attention to Zhong Wenbo, and when he saw that he suddenly changed his mind, he was slightly strange, and when he looked at his gaze, he saw Tang Lin beside them, standing next to a man and a woman, the middle-aged man, actually wearing a golden robe!

Yellow robe! It's a royal symbol!

Xiao Jiading immediately understood that this person was Li Ke, the prince of Shu! I heard that he was going to preside over the finals of the poetry club, and now he is really here.

Xiao Jiading then found that Zhong Wenbo's eyes fell on the young beauty beside Li Ke, the prince of Shu, but as soon as he met the beautiful woman's somewhat fierce gaze, he immediately lowered his eyes.

Xiao Jiading didn't know what the relationship between Zhong Wenbo and the beautiful woman next to the prince was, and why he changed his mind when he saw her. didn't think much about it, so he turned to Lu Zhaolin and said, "How is it?" Ready to start? ”

"With one against two, I won't take advantage of you."

Xiao Jiading shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since Brother Lu is so confident, you should have the confidence to beat me, you can grasp your own standards,—— your poems surpass me, and you will win!" I can grasp my standards, and the combined poems of the two of you surpass mine, and even if I lose, I will fold the fan to you. Isn't it just a folding fan, and there is no shame in losing. ”

Lu Zhaolin listened to Xiao Jiading's words, and couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking to himself, if his poems surpassed him, of course he won, if he was less than him, even if he surpassed Zhong Wenbo's poems combined, he would admit defeat. At the moment, he said: "Good! Let's get started! ”

"Brother Lu, please ask the question!"

Lu Zhaolin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's still the ...... of the question box."

Just as he was saying this, he heard someone not far away say in a loud voice: "This king is here to give questions to the three of them, how about it?" ”

Everyone's eyes looked towards the place where the voice came from, and it was the man in the yellow robe.

Lu Zhaolin had his back to the man, so he didn't see his arrival just now, but now when he heard him speak, he was slightly surprised, and quickly turned around, and saw the yellow-robed man, and quickly bowed to the ground: "See the Lord of Shu!" ”

Zhong Wenbo also hurriedly bowed down.

Lu Zhaolin is the first talent in Beijing, and he is a guest invited by Tang Lin to participate in the competition, and Li Ke, the king of Shu, also admires his talent and learning, so after he arrived in Yizhou, he personally set up a banquet to entertain him, so he knew him. And Zhong Wenbo was the champion of last year's Yizhou Poetry Club, and Li Keer, the king of Shu, personally dressed them in red and hung colors, so he naturally knew them. Only Xiao Jiading didn't know it, but it had been confirmed from Lu Zhaolin's words that the person who came was the target of Li Ke, the king of Shu, who he was trying to get close to!

Li Ke smiled and walked over, accompanied by Tang Lin, Geng Changshi and the beautiful woman, and walked in front of the three of them, Li Ke knew Lu Zhaolin and Zhong Wenbo, but he didn't know Xiao Jiading yet. When he arrived in front of Xiao Jiading, he called up and down, turned his head and glanced at Tang Lin beside him: "Bende (Tang Lin's character), this genius is the Xiao Jiading who is proficient in criminal law and can become a poem in seven steps that you often praise?" ”

Tang Lin nodded and smiled: "Exactly." - Jiading, don't meet the prince of Shu yet! ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See the Lord of Shu!" ”

Li Ke nodded slightly and said, "Very good!" He looked at Lu Zhaolin again: "The game hasn't started yet, so you can start it yourself, okay, it's also a quick thing to compete before the game." The three of you, one is the first genius in the capital, one is the first genius in Yizhou, and the other is the newly rising seven-step poetry genius, all of whom can be described as today's celebrities, today's three-person showdown, that is a rare spectacle, the king is delighted, I heard you say that you want to find a topic, so how about this king to come up with the question? ”

Xiao Jiading listened to Li Ke's words, and seemed to know himself quite well, and compared himself with Lu Zhaolin and Zhong Wenbo, the two first talents, which shows that he values himself, naturally, this must be the work that Tang Lin is doing in the future.

According to the competition system, the final final was made by Li Ke, the king of Shu, and now he first asked the three of them to compete, so naturally no one objected. Lu Zhaolin hurriedly said: "I am so honored that I ask the prince to ask the question." ”

Li Ke stroked his beard and slowly turned his head to think, his eyes fell on the beautiful woman's delicate face like petals, smiled slightly, reached over, held her slender hand, and said with tenderness in his eyes: "Concubine Ai once wrote a poem, in which there are two sentences, which this king loves very much - 'It's not as good as the mandarin duck on the pond, double stay and fly for a lifetime'." Sincerely. How about the three of them writing poems on the theme of mandarin ducks? (To be continued......)
