In the main hall of the Jiang'an Hou Mansion, the lights are bright.

After listening to Xu Dapeng's account of the whole story, Xia Jingyun did not agree directly, but groaned.

This groan immediately made Xu Dapeng rub his hands nervously, like a prisoner with hope in his heart waiting for the verdict, looking at him with a blank eye.

Xia Jingyun smiled suddenly, "Brother Boyi doesn't have to be so nervous, I am Jinke Jieyuan of Surabaya Prefecture, and I naturally have to take responsibility if I enjoy the glory." This matter is related to the face of the entire Surabaya Prefecture, so I have no reason to stand idly by. I just thought about it, but I was just thinking about some ways to break the game. ”

Xu Dapeng almost shouted excitedly, but now that he has crossed the threshold of lifting people, his requirements for himself are different, and he can't help it, but he still said happily: "I know that Brother Gao Yang is elegant and talented, and he must not be the kind of person who retreats in fear of difficulties!" ”

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It seems that there are a lot of people who say this about me!" ”

Xu Dapeng didn't deny it, "Those people don't have much contact with Brother Gao Yang, they don't know the inside story, they speculate randomly, Brother Gao Yang don't blame." ”

"How can I be angry about this little thing, it was indeed a lot of affairs before, and I got out flawlessly, and I hope Brother Boyi will forgive me."

"Brother Gao Yang, this is serious, you are the righteous brother of Concubine De, you are not the same as me, if you just talk about your own situation, it will be too biased."

"Haha! It seems that Brother Boyi's mouth can not only speak uprightly, but also solve people's worries! ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Why don't you stay here tonight, and I'll go to the guild hall with you tomorrow?" ”

Xu Dapeng shook his head, "Xu Jiaoyu and his classmates are worried, I still send this good news back quickly, so that everyone can sleep with peace of mind, and after this matter is over, I will have a banquet with Brother Gao Yang to celebrate!" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded with a smile, "That's fine." Then I'll arrange for a carriage to take you back. ”

Xu Dapeng didn't refuse reservedly, not to mention how face-saving the carriage of the Hou Mansion was, just because it was freezing outside, he was not a fool, so why bother blowing the cold wind everywhere.

Xu Dapeng personally sent the carriage, and seeing the carriage disappear at the entrance of the alley, Xia Jingyun turned around and walked back.

Su Yuanshang stepped out and said: "I feel a little strange about this matter, the Thirteen States Brawl is an old tradition, and we have experienced it at the beginning, but this time it is the wrong time, and the other party has gone to Surabaya Prefecture twice, and it feels like it is coming for you." ”

Xia Jingyun said softly: "Mr. Su, if it were you, would you go?" ”

Su Yuanshang sighed and did not refute.

"It's their design, but it's not an opportunity for us."

Xia Jingyun looked at Su Yuanshang with a smile, "Because I suddenly thought that this is also an opportunity for us to raise Wang Langzhong." ”

Su Yuanshang frowned and thought about it, and soon caught a trace of vein in his heart, and his eyes gradually lit up, "It seems that you can really give it a try." ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, "Although I won't take the initiative to use the lifters to deliberately provoke trouble, but now that someone takes the initiative to provoke it, we will push the boat down the river, and it will be no problem after all." ”

Su Yuan couldn't help but nod, and there was some excitement in his heart, "I'm more familiar with the operation of the DPRK and China than you, wait for me to sort it out and draw up a detailed plan." ”

"There's Mr. Lausu."

The communication with smart people is always so pleasant, Xia Jingyun arched his hand, "I'll go to Bai Gongzi's side." ”

The Jiang'an Hou Mansion has a plant that is not found in most mansions in Zhongjing: green bamboo.

It is a little homesickness, and it is also a tribute to Concubine De's mother Yun Qingzhu.

Although it is the depths of winter, these green bamboos still stubbornly leave some leaves, adding a touch of gentle greenery to this solemn and heavy Zhongjing City, and at the same time, it also has a little more soft swaying that is rare in the north.

A bamboo shadow swayed gently in the wind under the light, and a man in a green shirt slowly walked out of the bamboo shadow like a fairy in the bamboo, and knocked on the door of a small courtyard of a guest room accompanied by the guards.

The guards on the side of the white clouds came to open the door, and when they saw the faces of the visitors, they saluted respectfully and got out of the way.

Xia Jingyun stepped in and knocked on the door of the back room.

Bai Yunbian looked at Xia Jingyun, with a little surprise in his eyes, and seemed to be a little flustered that was concealed, "Why are you here?" ”

Xia Jingyun sat down directly, "How was it going out today?" ”

"Ok! Zhongjing City is rich in products, all parties gather, and the literary style is prosperous, which is much better than following you. ”

Hearing this, Xia Jingyun looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

"What are you looking at me for? You don't believe it? ”

"I know it all."

Bai Yunbian was stunned for a moment, and his momentum was immediately like a deflated ball, visibly weakened to the naked eye.

Seeing that Baiyunbian was a little sluggish, Xia Jingyun opened his mouth to persuade: "I have also discussed with the Jade Tiger Prince, and generals like him who often win have said that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can he only win others, and others are not allowed to win him." ”

"He's such a reckless man"

Bai Yunbian subconsciously snorted, and then shook his head again, "It's different, it's really different." ”

Xia Jingyun asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Bai Yunbian opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, just shook his head, and it seemed that he was really hit badly.

Xia Jingyun looked at him, and suddenly looked suspicious, "You won't be so shocked that you don't have confidence, right?" The first son of Yunmengzhou, who shouts at every turn not to bully the poor boy, is so fragile? No way? No way? ”

"How is that possible!"

Bai Yunbian, who was stimulated by Xia Jingyun's agitation method, said categorically: "I'm just thinking about how to get back on the field!" ”

"It's not very simple, I'll help you explore the truth first, and then you can find a chance to step him back!"

"You're going to make a move?"

Bai Yunbian's expression moved, and he looked at Xia Jingyun in surprise.

Xia Jingyun smiled, "So, I'm here to ask you about the specific situation." ”

"Hey"

Bai Yunbian sighed faintly, and immediately remembered his hard energy, and regained his momentum, "Here's the thing. ”

Then he began to talk, from the time he came to the Yunmengzhou Guild Hall, to the time he saw the people of Guangling Prefecture coming, and he waited for others to go over to watch.

He was arrogant, and he didn't bother to emphasize that he refused to make these things to show favor to Xia Jingyun, but just said calmly.

When he said that the time began to coincide with what Xu Dapeng said, Xia Jingyun did not interrupt, some things are confirmed from different angles, and some details that are not usually noticed can be seen.

"Wait, can you tell me more about the rules of your competition with him?"

"Wait a minute, it means that in this game of poetry, he came up with the topic, and then you and him each wrote poems according to this topic?"

"Wait, in this game of your couplet, he is still the first to go to the link, if you don't match, then you will lose directly? You're right, and then you're on the link, he's right? ”

"You still don't listen! How many words! ”

Bai Yunbian looked at Xia Jingyun who kept asking about the details with a little dissatisfaction, and felt that this dog thing was just holding back the bad water and sprinkling salt on his wounds crazily.

Xia Jingyun glanced at him speechlessly, "I won't ask a few words, how do you know that you are such a waste!" ”

"Xia Gaoyang, do you think that this son will not dare to beat you!"

Bai Yunbian slapped the table directly and spoke angrily.

The voice came out of the room clearly, and the scholar was frightened, and hurriedly looked at the guards on the side.

Unexpectedly, the guard and Chen Fugui were guarding the door on the left and right, as if they hadn't heard it.

Xia Jingyun smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not saying that you are a waste, but the other party is obviously behind someone secretly helping to build momentum for him, you actually think that you are only facing one person, what is this not waste?" ”

Bai Yunbian's eyes widened suddenly, and then he felt that it was too incredible.

"No, your guess is impossible at all, at that time we were competing on the spot, in full view of everyone, he had never discussed with anyone from beginning to end, how could it be that someone secretly supported it? And these things are all said on the fly, how could he have prepared them in advance? ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Then let me ask you, according to the rules of this big fight, if one party sets the project, can the other party take the lead in selecting the topic or take the lead in each item?" ”

"yes, isn't that fair?"

"If someone comes to challenge, in order to seek stability, will the vast majority of people choose the project they are best at?"

"Yes, but how does he know what project we have chosen, so that he can prepare in advance?"

Xia Jingyun looked at the clear stupidity in Bai Yunbian's eyes speechlessly, you are also a eunuch, oh no, people from the official eunuch family, why are you still so simple.

"If you think about it, the Great Smash Bros. is limited to the things that are all literati and tasteful, so what can it be? What can be compared is nothing more than writing essays and poems, and then pairing them with some chess, pitching pots, and double-backs. Why can't you prepare in advance? You have set a project, he can take the lead in the topic or take the lead, prepare two poems, a few pairs, one or two essays in advance, it is enough to deal with it, is it difficult? ”

Bai Yunbian recalled in his mind the situation in the opponent's two matches today, and it was really as Xia Jingyun said, the opponent basically took the lead and directly forced the opponent to admit defeat, and the opponent had no chance to fight back at all.

This kind of situation that makes him feel that he has been completely crushed in terms of literary talent, it turns out that there is such a secret behind it?

As for those orders, pitchers and the like, Xia Jingyun didn't need to mention them again, he could figure it out himself.

For a child of an official eunuch who has nothing to do and has fun, it is simply a commonplace to be caught, and it is very normal to be proficient in this way.

"That's not right!"

He suddenly shook his head again, "Although we admitted defeat in the two competitions today before we were able to compete in Go, I heard that when he competed with Baiyang Prefecture yesterday, he played a game, and his chess strength is indeed good, so this kind of thing can't be prepared in advance, right?" ”

"Do you really treat each other like a good-for-nothing straw bag?" Xia Jingyun smiled, "If the other party dares to operate this matter, they must rely on it, the hard power of Go, these tasteful proficient, are their confidence, and then make up for the shortcomings of the poem, and finally use the rules, isn't this very simple to be invincible!" ”

He lightly nodded the table, "Before I came, I asked Mr. Gongsun about it, Guangling Prefecture Go is very popular, and one of the two disciples of Mr. Wei, a great Go player, is a native of Guangling Prefecture, and this Shi Zixian happens to worship under the other party's door, and his chess strength is very good. ”

Bai Yunbian glared puzzled, "Then you still dare to go?" ”

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows proudly, with a somewhat playful smile, "Have you ever thought that my chess skills are even better?" ”

Bai Yunbian subconsciously wanted to say a few words, but then remembered Xia Jingyun's fierce past, and the words came to his lips and held back.

I finally went home at noon, so I started writing immediately, and I came to a chapter first, and there will be a later one. Today, the minimum is more than 6,000 words.
