Chapter 422: The Literati's Contest (1)

Gu Huaiyan kept leaning against the door, although he didn't speak, he listened to every word of the outsiders in his heart. The two of them seemed to have a heart, and Lou Shenghao could clearly feel that his good friend was nearby, and he was only a door away.

"I know that if I am with you for one more day, my perseverance will be weakened...... But I still can't help but want to drink with you and talk about life with you.

Because I also crave friendship, and I also crave the care of others, not just fear and awe. No matter how ruthless I am, I'm not unintentional. I am flesh and blood, I can cry and laugh, I will love people, and I will hate people.

I must admit that your presence has turned my boring life a little bit around. After I lost Jinchen, Leng Guang and Yuxian one after another, I really don't want to lose my only friend again.

I know that in your mind, Zhong Liyou and I are different. But no matter what the future holds for us, at least I cherish the present...... Even if we only have half a month of peaceful coexistence left, it's better than nothing, isn't it?"

With a "squeak", Gu Huaiyan pushed open the door, smiled slightly before saying in an undoubted tone: "Of course you and Youyou are different! In my heart, Youyou and Zhinan are my brothers. And you...... But like my confidant.

A living person, no matter what peak he can reach, will never be able to escape the words love, hatred, hatred, and obsession. Sometimes we may not be able to see through the dreams and confusions of this world, but we can't let go of those feelings and hatreds.

As you said, no matter what kind of future there will be between us, even if we are destined to meet each other. At least for now...... We still have half a month to live together peacefully. ”

Hearing this, Lou Shenghao excitedly slapped Gu Huaiyan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Life has to be such a confidant as Huaiyan, this life is enough!"

After some ridicule, Gu Huaiyan thought of something and asked, "You haven't told me what kind of poison you have?" ”

Lou Shenghao stretched out his right hand a little helplessly: "This is simply a great shame, and it is a big stain on my life! Someone came here yesterday to assassinate me, and I almost ...... Alas. ”

Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Gu Huaiyan had already clearly felt what his best friend wanted to express. Therefore, he carefully inquired about the assassin's body, martial moves, and other details.

Except for the emaciated figure and quick moves, Lou Shenghao didn't know anything else. Even the poison in himself is very confused, as if he has heard people around him mention it, but he just can't remember its origin and treatment.

Looking at his contemplative appearance, Gu Huaiyan reminded him vigorously: "Didn't you say that there was a poisonous lady in your Netherworld Palace who was very good at poisoning? Could it be that she told you, you think carefully about what kind of poison this is, and what to do." ”

Lou Shenghao shook his head with great certainty: "No, that person is definitely not a dead poisonous lady! Although my impression of this person is very vague, I always feel that she is still alive...... But I just can't remember who she is. ”

At this moment, Lu Qingyuan, who was easy to wake up, hurriedly ran over with a note: "Gu Shaoxia, take a look! As soon as I woke up, I found that someone had stuffed this note in my palm, which contained the method of detoxification, was any of you poisoned?"

Lou Shenghao slowly raised his right hand while expressing admiration: "This person is not only excellent in martial arts but also thoughtful in everything, if such a person is not used by me, it will inevitably become a stumbling block on the road of unifying my martial arts."

Even though he had assassinated me, I really didn't want to kill him. I would never fall in the same place twice, preferably ...... Don't let me see him again. ”

It was still early, and Cheng Yinnie did not return to the Flame Gate, but walked around Molin Peak alone for a night. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this, but he had asked himself countless times: If Yun Naiting was still alive, would he still interfere in the affairs of the martial arts? If Yun Naiting was alive, would he support him in doing so?

There are some roads, once you take a step, there is no turning back, no matter how many unknown thorns lie ahead, he can only go on.

"Yesterday Meng'er mentioned the word 'Guiao Pavilion', and when I heard the name, I knew that this was where the literati danced and wrote. Why don't I take a look?"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhong Liyou's voice rang out: "Sure enough, where do you not meet in life, I didn't expect that I could meet Cheng Gongzi here." ”

Cheng Yinnie hurriedly smiled and returned the salute: "The young owner came here early in the morning, this is the real good interest." ”

After introducing Cheng Yinni and Bu Chan Palace, Zhong Liyou frowned very embarrassed: "I came here just to buy some rice paper to paint for my son, and the master of the Bu Pavilion has to pester me to compete with him." It's better to come here than to come by coincidence, Cheng Gongzi came to relieve me from this siege, how about it?"

Bu Toad Palace hurriedly gave Cheng Yinni a salute: "Not long ago, the young owner mentioned your name to me, and you are indeed a humble gentleman with an extraordinary bearing. It's also fate that we met here, since the young owner said so, Cheng Gongzi should do this!"

"Where, where, I am nearly thirty years old, and I am used to seeing the prosperity of the world to have this so-called bearing. In my opinion, the two of them are the few young talents in the world!" Cheng Yinni waved his hand modestly.

After putting down the brush in his hand, Zhong Liyou raised his head and smiled evilly: "Oh!......? It's better to get to the point as soon as possible, and it's naturally easy to tell who is better. ”

After returning Zhong Liyou's smile, Cheng Yinni slowly spoke: "Okay! Since the young village master and the pavilion master both have this Yaxing, then they should accompany them to the end!"

Zhong Liyou took out a folding fan from his waist and smiled: "I like to watch competitions very much, since you want to compete...... Then I'll be the referee!"

After that, Zhong Liyou opened the folding fan and shook it in front of the two of them, and then closed the folding fan at a fast speed: "Cheng Gongzi's martial arts are world-famous, there are only a handful of people in this world who can defeat him, if you compete in martial arts...... The Pavilion Master is bound to lose.

Since everyone likes to dance and write, that's fine...... This fan has a picture of a beautiful woman that I drew myself. Whoever holds the fan before lunch wins, and the winner can unconditionally ask the loser to do one thing!"

Cheng Yinni snatched the folding fan from Zhong Liyou's hand, and then muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "It's the first time I've heard of this kind of comparison, we are all literati...... Grabbing a fan is a little too boring and rude!"

"That's it, I like to watch people grab fans!" With that, Zhong Liyou went to Cheng Yinni and asked for the fan back.

"Hahaha!" After Bu Toad Gong laughed twice, he pointed to the folding fan in Yun Qiumeng's hand in a chic manner: "Who said it's boring, I think it's very interesting, just do what the young owner said! Whoever has the fan in his hand before lunch today will be counted as a winner! And the loser must unconditionally do one thing for the winner! What does Cheng Gongzi think?"

Cheng Yinni smiled and said, "Since the Pavilion Master has said so, then I have no objection." It's just that I see, the picture of the beauty on this fan should have taken a long time to paint! When we snatch it, we must not destroy this fan, so as not to hurt the heart of the young owner. ”

Zhong Liyou nodded very gratefully: "Cheng Gongzi, just rest assured, this fan will be very safe in my hands! When the time comes, you two must not lose to me! If no one gets this fan at lunchtime, you have to do one thing for me unconditionally!"

Bu Chan Gong handed over a fan bag with a smile on his face, and Hei Zhong Liyou: "It's really not easy for this young owner to draw this fan, I suggest putting the fan in the fan bag for safekeeping." This bag is made of fine silk, and only I can buy it within a radius of dozens of miles.

It can definitely protect the fan from not even a speck of dust or a drop of water. My bag is specially made, and I only made three of them at the beginning. ”

After thanking him, Zhong Liyou took the fan bag without hesitation and put the fan in, and then took two steps back: "You two can grab the fan with me now, but ...... Let's catch up with me first!"

With that, Zhong Liyou quickly pushed open the window and jumped out. When Bu Toad Gong looked out of the window, the person was long gone.

"What a handsome kung fu!" Bu Toad Gong praised sincerely, but after Zhong Liyou left, the corners of his mouth curled even more.

Cheng Yinni also smiled brightly, as if he was neither worried that he would lose to Bu Toad Palace, nor was he worried that Zhong Liyou would make it impossible for either of them to grab the folding fan.

Zhong Liyou seemed to realize that no one would look for him early in the morning, so he walked around the market all morning with a fan bag, and did not forget to buy a few peaches to take back.

And the two people in the Guiao Pavilion didn't move, Cheng Yinni read a book all morning, and Bu Chan Gong ran to the kitchen to make a table of good dishes with Ou Geqin.

When Zhong Liyou came back with peaches, just in time for the meal, he sat down on the table unceremoniously: "Before the meal, I want to announce that neither of you got this fan from me, so ...... None of you won!"

Having said that, there was a different kind of meaning in his eyes, and he even threw the folding fan that he regarded as a treasure on the dining table at will.

Ou Geqin walked to his side and kindly reminded: "It is easy to cause oil stains if the folding fan is placed here, so it is better for the young owner to put it away." ”

After a while, Ou Geqin lowered his head and smiled: "I'm really worried, anyway, you are about to become the biggest winner, and when the time comes, feel free to let our pavilion master give you a new one." ”

When Ou Geqin was looking at Zhong Liyou with admiration, Bu Changong laughed loudly: "Geqin, what you said is too early!" Soon, he twisted his head to Cheng Yinni again: "Do you say it, Cheng Gongzi!"

Cheng Yinnie nodded in agreement: "The master of the pavilion is right, the young owner's folding fan may not be in his own hands now." ”

Ou Geqin held the fan wrapped in the fan bag and shook it vigorously: "The young owner's fan is obviously here, what you say may not be......! Do you two want to pay off?"

Bu Toad Gong smiled and took out a fan wrapped in the same fan bag as Yun Qiumeng's hand: "Miss Yun, the fan in your hand may not be the fan of the young owner!"

"What?" Seeing the fan in Bu Toadgong's hand, Yun Qiumeng hurriedly took the fan out of the fan bag, but when she opened the folding fan, she was stunned: "How is it possible?

"The fan in your hand has long been dropped, when we met you on the street earlier, the pavilion master accidentally bumped into you, remember? That seems to be careless, but in fact it is intentional. He's already dropped the fan when he hits you. It's just that you haven't noticed it, and the master of the pavilion said that there are only three of these fan bags that are specially customized, so you haven't opened the fan bag to see it, and you haven't found that the fan has been dropped. ”

Zhong Liyou's explanation helped Yun Qiumeng clear his doubts.

"Since I took the young owner's fan, then as a return gift, I drew a picture of a beauty on the fan, and I hope the young owner will smile!"

Zhong Liyou didn't mean to take it, but asked rhetorically: "There are no absolutes in the world, and the fan in the hand of the pavilion master may not be my fan! ”

Bu Toad Palace was shocked by Zhong Liyou's words, he hurriedly took the fan out of the fan bag, and when he opened it, he couldn't help but show the same expression as Yun Qiumeng: "How is it possible? How can it be a blank fan with nothing?"

Then, Bu Chan Gong picked up the fan bag again and took a closer look: "This fan bag is indeed only owned by my Gui Ao Pavilion! You can't buy it elsewhere! Did you take my third fan bag?"

"Geqin, bring me my treasured fan bag!" In a hurry, Bu Toad Palace summoned Ou Geqin in.

Not long after, Ou Geqin came in with a brocade box in his hand, and Bu Toad Palace couldn't wait to open the brocade box, and there was a fan bag inside.

Bu Toad Gong was confused all of a sudden: "That's not right! Miss Yun's hand, the one in my hand plus the one in this brocade box, the three fan bags are all there, you can't drop the bag! Unlessβ€”"

"Unless you dropped the fan before I put it in the bag!" Yun Qiumeng continued with Bu Toad's words.

Zhong Liyou slowly took out a fan from his back and opened it gently, and sure enough, it was the fan with a landscape painting.

"Earlier, because you made the same mistake, you all focused on this special custom-made fan bag, and you all thought that as long as the fan bag was still in the fan, it must be there. Actually, no, the fan was already dropped by me when I hit you on the head with a fan. It just so happened that I bought a blank fan the other day.
