"If you can attack the heart, you will eliminate yourself on the other side, and you have known since ancient times that soldiers are not belligerent." Xun Xuan picked up the pen and quickly wrote this couplet on the paper.

This is a couplet that Xun Xuan saw on the door of the local governor's mansion when he visited Shu privately, and it is rumored that this couplet was written by an extremely talented military advisor in the governor's mansion.

This couplet is difficult to say, simple and simple, if anyone in the audience can be familiar with military books, plus a little talent, maybe it is very likely to come out.

But most of the civil servants present, and there is no need to mention a martial artist like Qu Shiying who barely knows a few words, and then there are those famous ladies who have received a good education since childhood, and what they learn is nothing more than a daughter's book like "Women's Training".

How many serious ladies will study the military book?

When the ladies present saw this couplet, they all looked embarrassed, and even Gao Ruoya, who is known as a talented woman, was pale and embarrassed.

The proposal for this couplet was put forward by her own mouth, but she didn't expect this Xun Zhi to be even more powerful than she imagined, and she actually came up with such a tricky couplet.

This Xun Zhi ...... How dare you embarrass her like this!

Gao Ruoya was quite dissatisfied in her heart, but her face was still gentle, but her face looked a little unnatural.

Qu Shiyu looked at the couplet, and knew that she was out of play, but she was unwilling to let Xun Zhi win this game like this, thinking that even if she couldn't come out, the talented girl Gao Ruoya could come out right, so it was better to sell Qinghe and the county lord a face.

After all, the proposal for the couplet itself was put forward by Gao Ruoya, so it was naturally a little confident.

"With just a couplet, how can it be difficult to defeat the county lord of Qinghe? Xun Zhi, you can open your eyes and see clearly! Qu Shiyu sneered.

Gao Ruoya frowned, and looked at Qu Shiyu with some dissatisfaction: "Miss Qu has already thought of the next link?" Then why don't you come first, Miss Qu! ”

Qu Shiyu didn't expect that she slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, Gao Ruoya didn't think about the next link at all, but was dragged out by herself, isn't this intentionally embarrassing the county lord?

Qu Shiyu's face froze, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "How can there be a county lord to learn?" I hadn't thought of it yet. ”

"Miss Qu didn't think about it herself, but she was in a hurry to push out the county lord, what is the reason?" Gao Ruo Yapi said with a smile, and his tone was obviously not good.

The other ladies present didn't dare to say anything, but they laughed secretly in their hearts, it seems that this couplet can't even get the talented Qinghe county lord outside, now it's okay, with the Qinghe county lord in front of them, others will naturally not laugh at their heads.

If you want to laugh at the left and right, it is also the first to follow the Qinghe County Lord, not to mention that the Qinghe County Lord is powerful behind him, who dares to laugh?

After another moment, Xun Xuan asked Gao Ruoya with a gentle face: "I don't know if the county lord ever thought of Xialian?" ”

Gao Ruoya's face was already gloomy, no longer as arrogant and elegant as Fang Cai, I saw her show a far-fetched smile, pretending to be very generous: "Miss Xun Zhi is really knowledgeable, but I am a shallow learner." ”

Although she didn't want to admit it, Gao Ruoya was a very well-cultivated person, and even if she lost, she was very graceful, even if she didn't want to admit defeat in front of Xun Zhi at all.

Xun Zhi! This account has been written down by the county lord, you made me lose face in front of King Zhao and so many other people, and the county lord will ask you for it back sooner or later!

At this time, Qu Shiyu suddenly asked dissatisfiedly: "Xun Zhi! You have such a couplet, I'm afraid that in order to get along with King Zhao alone, you deliberately embarrassed us, right? Such a difficult uplink, can you come out of it yourself? ”

"That's it! With such a difficult uplink, even the county lord can't think of it, this Xun Zhi is deliberate, right? ”

"That's it! It's obvious that he wants to play chess with the prince and doesn't want us to get close, so he will resort to this kind of trick, which is really hateful! ”

Xun Xuan smiled, and said without changing her face: "Miss Qu said that she laughed, since I dare to make the upper link, I can naturally make the next link." ”

Qu Shiyu saw that the ladies around her were standing on her side, and her face suddenly showed a touch of pride, and then she sneered: "Your upper link, can you naturally get the lower link, this is unfair to all of us, it is better to be like this...... If there is no one present who can make the next couplet, you have to ask Miss Xun Zhi to change it again. ”

Xun Xuan sneered secretly, this song is really skinless and faceless, if it is like her, someone present must be able to make the next link to be fair, then what is the point of this competition?

"If you want to follow Miss Qu's meaning, then this competition, isn't Ah Zhi bound to lose? So what's the point of this competition? Xun Xuan said slowly.

"You ......" Qu Shiyu was a little dizzy by Xun Xuan's words, and when she was annoyed and angry, she became arrogant, "In short, you deliberately made things difficult and didn't want us to play chess with the prince." ”

Xun Xuan can speak well, Qu Shiyu will naturally not be her opponent, but Gao Ruoya, who has been watching coldly, silently looks at this Xun Zhi in her eyes...... Sure enough, it was not simple, and the poem was said without a clue in a single sentence.

"If Miss Qu insists on thinking so, then Ah Zhi has nothing to say, and this competition is over!" After that, Xun Xuan didn't say much, turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as the ladies heard that Xun Xuan was leaving, their faces suddenly showed a touch of joy again, without Xun Zhi's fierce rival, their chances of getting close to King Zhao were naturally greater.

"Wait! When did this king say that this contest was over? Just when the daughters were secretly happy in their hearts, Jing Ying suddenly opened her mouth to stop her.

The ladies' hearts tightened, and they looked at Jing Ying nervously, but they saw Jing Ying writing slowly and methodically, and quietly wrote the following couplet on the paper.

The next link is: "If you don't judge the situation, that is, you will be lenient and severe, and you will have to think deeply about the governance of Shu later." ”

Xun Xuan looked at this familiar couplet, her calm face couldn't help but show a little softness, when she was the queen mother, she visited Shu privately, and Jing Ying drove forward.

She still remembered that when the two of them saw this couplet, they still stood in front of the door for a long time, talking about poetry and the art of war, but they didn't know that the people around them looked at him with a strange look.

Now that I think about it, it may have been the happiest few months for her to get along with Jing Ying.

If there is no shackles of identity and the battle of the royal family, she and Jing Ying are also good bosom friends.

It's a pity...... None of this can be changed.

Xun Xuan looked at Jing Ying quietly, and vaguely felt that a trace of pain and helplessness seemed to flash under the man's handsome and flamboyant face.

"This king has already made the next couplet, so ...... Do you still have questions? Jing Ying threw away the brush in her hand, raised her eyes and asked everyone indifferently.

Jing Ying has already asked such a question, who is still present who dares to say that he is not convinced? Isn't that deliberately going to be difficult with King Zhao?

Besides, Xun Zhi's Shanglian, some people did come out, and the rest of the people couldn't say it, it was because they were only shallow in their studies, so they couldn't blame Xun Zhi for deliberately making things difficult, right?

The ladies were secretly unhappy, but their faces were still respectful.

"Master Qu, do you have anything to say?" Jing Ying turned her head to look at Qu Shiying again, and there was obviously a bit of sarcasm in her tone, as if she was laughing at Qu Shiying, he and his carefully cultivated daughter couldn't even enter the gate of King Zhao's mansion.

still wants Jing Ying to add him to the rank of knight, which is even more impossible.

"It's cold, if Master Qu is fine, go back!" After saying that, Jing Ying shook off her clothes, turned around and went straight back to the palace.

"Lord Wang!" Qu Shiyu looked at Jing Ying's back, her eyes full of obsession.

"Miss Xun Zhi, the prince is invited, please come with the little one!" The prince hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully invited Xun Xuan to enter the door.

Xun Xuan smiled gently, twisted her skirt and walked towards the palace, and when she walked past Gao Ruoya's side, she heard Gao Ruoya say lukewarmly: "Miss Xun Zhi has good skills, and she can win so many ladies present, which really makes the county lord admire it very much." ”

"The county lord has won the prize!" Xun Xuan bowed to Gao Ruoya.

How generous Gao Ruoya looks at the moment, how angry she is in her heart, you know...... She is the lord of Qinghe County, the only one with a different surname in the Great Wei, the daughter of the king of Yunnan, who is not polite in the entire Jingshi?

Today, she was compared to a Xun Zhi, and King Zhao actually blocked her from the palace for this person, which was a great insult to Gao Ruoya.

Watching Xun Xuan walk into the palace step by step, Gao Ruoya bit her lip, forcibly endured the unhappiness in her heart, turned around and left directly.

……

Xun Xuan was taken to Jing Ying's study by the people of the palace.

As soon as Xun Xuan walked to the door, she was dragged into the house by Jing Ying, and the man pressed her against the wall behind her.

"Who the hell are you? You are not Xun Zhi, you are Xun Xuan! Jing Xuan's breath hit Xun Xuan's forehead heavily, and her arm choked Xun Xuan's arm very hard, and even her voice was a little dry.

That couplet, it is clear that only he and Xun Xuan will know, he has always felt ...... That was the memory that only belonged to him and Xun Xuan, that trip to Shudi...... It was the most cherished years of his life, which he carefully treasured, brewed, tasted, and reminisced in the bottom of his heart.

But now when he saw this couplet again, all kinds of memories from the beginning poured into his heart like a tide.

As if someone had seen through a long-buried heart, Jing Ying was annoyed, angry and a little overwhelmed at the moment.

Xun Xuan looked at Jing Ying lightly, looking at the stunned and urgent in the man's eyes, and didn't know why...... At that moment, there was a slight pain in her heart.

Since she was reborn, she has rarely had heartache, let alone such a strange look at each other at this moment for such an unknown person.

What is she asking for? Expecting Jing Ying to suffer because of her death?

No, Jing Ying is hungry for profit, and I wish she died as soon as possible, so that he can monopolize power.

"What's the matter, sir? I'm Xun Zhi, didn't the prince mistake me for my sister? The corners of Xun Xuan's mouth hooked up with an indifferent smile, and her tone was as distant as ever.
