Chapter 214 Poseidon Festival kicked off

In Qin Siyong's eyes, Liu Tingfeng, who has excellent swordsmanship, should just be a person who practices martial arts, and no matter how good he is, he is just a martial artist.

Even if he was accompanied to play chess under the recommendation of Mu Qianmei, Qin Siyong always believed that no matter how good his chess skills were, he would not be more powerful than Wei Xiaohan, who specialized in chess.

Wei Xiaohan is not his opponent, let alone Liu Tingfeng?

However, since this proposal was put forward by him, and Mu Qianmei made it clear that Liu Tingfeng would accompany him, it was not good for him to refuse immediately, even if he was the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he could not be too despised by others.

Therefore, he invited Liu Tingfeng to sit down with him very kindly.

When he got down here, although there was still no winner on the chessboard, he knew that if he continued to develop in this way, he had little hope of winning.

It is said that the best defense is offense, in fact, the reverse is also true, tight defense, why not be the best offense?

Several sharp attacks were fruitless, and the chessboard had become an endgame.

Liu Tingfeng did not attack from beginning to end.

However, his situation has gained a slight upper hand.

Qin Siyong laughed and said:

"Haha...... I have heard for a long time that Mr. Liu's swordsmanship is outstanding, but I didn't expect to have such a deep attainment in chess, and I can be regarded as a teacher. ”

Liu Tingfeng modestly replied:

"Your Majesty's chess, the atmosphere is Lingran, there is no hope of winning in the game, you can barely hold it, it's just a fluke, Tingfeng is taught."

In this way, the game ends in a draw.

Mu Qianmei always smiled silently, she knew that Liu Tingfeng still knew how to advance and retreat.

Qin Siyong also understood that Liu Tingfeng didn't want to win him here, and there was no point in continuing to play.

Even if it was a draw, it was he who lost.

Wei Xiaohan always watched the chess game quietly and did not express any opinions, but he was amazed in his heart, if there was a chance, he would like to know what kind of chess position would it be if Liu Tingfeng launched an attack?

That "chess is shocking, and the son is crying ghosts and gods" is Ouyang Bo's old Taoist, and he is probably not the opponent of this son!

What's even more rare is that he is so young, and he is so advanced and retreated, it seems that he is not only powerful in swordsmanship.

This is the first confrontation between Qin Siyong and Liu Tingfeng.

After the end of the first game, Qin Siyong's mood didn't seem to have any effect, he always talked and laughed, and talked happily with Mu Qianmei.

After he let go of the burden in his heart, he also looked down and generous in front of Mu Qianmei, and he no longer suffered as much as before.

One is erudite and talented, the other is rich and rich, and when he talks, he talks endlessly, and his thinking jumps very fast.

Sometimes, two topics that are not related to each other, they can also switch very naturally.

The few people on the side often couldn't keep up with their rhythm, let alone participate in the talk, and they felt a little powerless to listen.

This is the real Qin Siyong, this is the real Mu Qianmei.

Hua Durou can't help but be a little confused, isn't this the legendary bosom friend?

When Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng were together, they probably didn't talk so happily!

At dinner, Qin Siyong said to Mu Qianmei:

"After today's negotiations and exchanges, we have reached agreements on cooperation in many fields, and the next step is to continuously improve the implementation process."

"It's rare for you to have a chance to come to Lanjing City, the capital of my Eastern Qin Kingdom, since you have arrived here this time, you have to take a look everywhere, just these few days, it is a grand traditional festival of our Eastern Qin Kingdom, the Poseidon Festival."

"We are facing the sea in the east, as the saying goes, 'relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea', for our people in the East Qin Kingdom, this Poseidon Festival is more grand and lively than the Spring Festival."

"We're going to have a lot of celebrations during this time, so why don't you join us together?

What? ”

Mu Qianmei thought for a while and replied:

"We have a lot of delays on the road this time, so we shouldn't stay here too long. However, since all the work has been completed so smoothly, and it is so coincidental to catch up with this grand festival in your country, let's take a magical journey and feel the unique festival of Poseidon Festival! ”

"However, in three days at most, we will leave for China, and I wonder if we will miss the best part!"

Qin Siyong laughed loudly:

"Haha...... Having you participate in the show is the best part, how could you miss it? When I invited your country to visit, I specially noted that I want to hold a grand gala, and I have also seen your sincerity, in addition to bringing rich gifts, but also bringing your world-famous song and dance troupe, even I am looking forward to it, this grand gala, how unprecedented it will be! ”

"Of course, in addition to the song and dance party, we also have many other competitions, the most exciting of which are the poetry competition and the dragon dance, in addition to the party, I also solemnly invite you to participate in these two programs, of course, any other program, as long as you are interested, you can also participate freely, I wonder what Princess Fluttershy wants?"

Mu Qianmei groaned for a moment, and then replied:

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, since it is entertainment, of course we are happy to participate, but the preparation is insufficient, it is better to be an audience and cheer for the contestants!"

Qin Siyong insisted:

"Princess Yunyu is quick-witted, versatile, and has Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon around her, why prepare, and participation is just entertainment, why take it too seriously?"

Mu Qianmei couldn't refuse, so she had to agree:

"Those rumors are all falsehoods and cannot be taken seriously, but since Your Majesty has said so, let's participate in the entertainment! The culture of the Eastern Qin Kingdom is broad and profound, with a long history, and even in the midst of entertainment, there are many things worth learning! ”

"This is also a valuable learning opportunity!"

Perhaps, the real confrontation is outside the business.

Mu Qianmei thought to herself.

Race Club? She has heard of this kind of competition, but she has not really participated in it, she only remembers that there is a book called "", there has been such a plot, in addition to the poems, there are also couplets, the most impressive, that is, Wang Xifeng, who can't write poems, also blurted out the first sentence "The north wind is tight overnight".

Mu Qianmei rarely writes poetry herself.

She always feels that there are too many classic poems in her mind, as long as she thinks about it, any artistic conception of poetry can find classics in other people's poems, compared with those, her own poems seem too naΓ―ve, so why bother?

Due to her amnesia, she could not remember how she remembered the verses, as if she had been born with them, and she could say a few words whenever she needed to.

So, she's not worried.

However, this dragon dance, she felt a little worried.

She also has a lot of memories of dragon and lion dances in her head, but those are all memories of being a spectator, how to dance, how to participate? She didn't know anything.

What kind of competition will it be here?

As a literary competition, the dragon dance is probably considered a martial arts competition!

After dinner, Mu Qianmei still called Liu Tingfeng and Mo Huan, and contacted the diplomatic department of the Eastern Qin State responsible for receiving them.

If you don't understand, you can only learn, the focus is on participation, what if you win or lose?

Mu Qianmei didn't have any hope for this, she just hoped that she wouldn't dance too ugly at that time, and it would be bad to become a laughing stock.

The people of the Eastern Qin Kingdom were also prepared, and as soon as Mu Qianmei proposed to send someone to learn the dragon dance skills, they immediately agreed, and immediately arranged for the master of the dragon dance to come to guide.

Mu Qianmei was directly handed over to Liu Tingfeng to be responsible, and she didn't have the time and energy to check and make specific arrangements on the spot.

She also had to learn about the rules of the Poetry Club herself.

The next day, the Poseidon Festival was grandly opened.

On the coast of the East China Sea, there is a majestic Tanah Lot Temple, which is a place with beautiful scenery and a beautiful scenery facing the sea.

Tanah Lot occupies an area that is larger than many famous temples.

There are more than 200 buildings inside, and they are all very exquisite temple buildings, with cigarette smoke curling and pilgrims in an endless stream.

The people who were born by the sea have a respect for the sea god Niangniang, which the emperor can't compare.

In fact, even the emperor has great respect for her.

Because, that is the most devout belief of people.

In the place where the Tanah Lot Temple is located, there is a high mountain of seven or eight hundred meters, called Guanhai Cliff, the surrounding trees are luxuriant, the environment is quiet, and it is very refreshing.

On the top of the mountain, there is a stone statue of a woman facing the sea, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, facing the sea, looking at the boundless sea, as if escorting ships coming and going at sea at any time.

Behind her, there is an open space, about 800 square meters, paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by green trees, which is very suitable for sacrifices and celebrations.

Later, on the edge of the top of the hill on the other side, there is a very spacious pavilion, which can seat more than 120 people at the same time, and there is a long corridor in the middle, which can lead to two smaller pavilions on the left and right, which can also shelter from the wind and rain.

Usually, after climbing to the top of the mountain, tourists feel tired, so they sit in the gazebo to rest and eat, or when it is sunny or rainy, they go inside to escape the heat or rain.

However, here today, it is heavily guarded.

Very early, there were soldiers who went to Tanah Lot and blocked all entrances and exits, putting them on full alert.

Because today is the opening of the Poseidon Festival, the emperor wants to come to participate in person, although he is the son of heaven, but he is not a god after all.

As the emperor of the seaside country, Qin Siyong also wants to express his gratitude to the sea goddess Niangniang and worship sincerely.

As the sun slowly rises, countless people are gathering here.

Although they can't enter the Tanah Lot Temple for the time being, they are all outside the Tanah Lot Temple with great excitement, waiting for the emperor to sacrifice the Poseidon Niangniang before they can enter the Mountain Temple.

Moreover, there is another advantage of waiting outside, you can have the opportunity to see the huge and magnificent procession of the emperor, and maybe you will have the opportunity to see the legendary young emperor with your own eyes?

However, this expectation has never been realized, and every time the emperor's team passes through in heavy defense.

No one has ever seen the true face of the emperor's Lushan.

Those who come late will ask those who come early:

"Has the emperor's team already entered? How long have you been in? ”

"It's been almost an hour, and it's probably coming out!"

"Is there any difference between today's team and the past?"

"I feel the same way, don't I? There are still a lot of carriages, a lot of retinues, and the pomp is still very big, so I can't see anything different! ”

At this time, a man on the side said mysteriously:

"Hehe, you don't know! I have relatives who work as imperial cooks in the palace, and I heard that this time there are distinguished guests who come to worship together! ”

"Huh? What kind of distinguished guest? ”

"Do you know who our most honored guest of the Eastern Qin Kingdom is recently?"

"Princess Yunyu, is it her?"

The man who pretended to be a mystery immediately said with great pride:

"Well, I can't think of it! I also took a closer look just now, and there is indeed a very gorgeous carriage than before, which is very different, presumably Princess Yunyu took that carriage and came with the emperor. ”

The ostentation is very obvious.

He did feel the adoring gaze of the crowd.

Everyone can't wait to have relatives in the palace to be the imperial chef!
