Looking at the situation in the venue, Feng Xiuyun sat down and frowned, worry evident in her words.
Zeng Jimin and Lin Feibai, each is more powerful than the other. Even if Zheng Tianyu doesn't come, can Xia Jingyun, a little-known person, write poems that can compare to them?
Would he even be unqualified to write poetry?
In the private room next door, Mr. Yun stretched out two fingers, picked up a crispy broad bean and put it into his mouth, "How is it? Do you still have confidence in Xia Jingyun?"
He loves calligraphy more. There is no doubt about Xia Jingyun's calligraphy. Even if he fails in the Wenhui today, he is still willing to accept this great disciple who may create a school and win a reputation for generations after his death.
Su Shidao said calmly: "I believe that a person who can write about wishing people a long life and sharing the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away will not be a mediocre person."
In the literary venue, Lin Feibai sat back in his seat with satisfaction and confidence in his victory.
Listening to the cheers and noise in his ears, and looking at Lin Feibai's appearance of being the best in the world, Xu Dapeng was filled with indignation and said angrily: "No, I don't accept it, I'm going to sue him!"
Xia Jingyun pulled him back, "Who are you reporting to?"
Xu Dapeng subconsciously looked at the scholar on the stage, and immediately felt as if a balloon had been punctured, feeling relieved.
Are these the people Lin Feibai colluded with to let them investigate themselves?
"Don't be so discouraged. If you don't want him to succeed, there are no ways."
Xia Jingyun's calm words immediately revived Xu Dapeng's dead heart.
"Gao Yang teaches me!"
Xia Gaoyang chuckled and said, "If you and I go down and capture Wenkui, won't Lin Feibai's plan fail?"
Xu Dapeng turned to look at him, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden noise from outside.
Amidst the commotion, the sound of horse hooves suddenly approached, and then the sound of horse hooves stopped, and soon there was a hearty laughter.
"Haha! Everyone, I'm sorry, I'll do it later!"
As soon as the voice reached their ears, a young scholar with a vigorous and vigorous appearance walked into everyone's sight.
He has a handsome appearance, but there is still dust on his face and clothes, but his heroic and calm demeanor is like a kingly soldier, which cannot be covered no matter what.
A chorus of exclamations suddenly sounded out, and all the great scholars on the stage stood up.
This time, Xia Jingyun knew this person's identity without asking any more questions.
The first son of Sishui Prefecture, the son of the prefect of Jianning County, and a disciple of the Prefecture Academy, Zheng Tianyu.
I saw Zheng Tianyu saluting in all directions, and then said loudly: "I met a group of bandits on the road earlier and robbed the people. It took some effort to kill them all, so I am late. I don't mean to be disrespectful. I hope you can forgive me."
As soon as these words came out, the dust on Zheng Tianyu's clothes and the haggard look on his face instantly turned into a medal of bravery.
"Wen Neng can bring peace to the world with his pen, and Wu Neng can use his horse to settle the world! He is worthy of Mr. Zheng!"
"No way! Look at Mr. Zheng like that, and then look at Mr. Lin's spotless appearance. It's a judgment call!"
Lin Feibai:......
First of all, I'm not messing with any of you...
On the high platform in the center, a great scholar smiled appreciatively and said: "Zhong Ming, no need to say more, we already know you. Sit down and have a rest first, and we will all listen to your masterpiece later!"
Zheng Tianyu smiled and said, "Since you are here, if you sit down now, wouldn't it be a disappointment to everyone? Since I am celebrating the queen, I should do my best. How did you play today?"
Such proud words, but he said them confidently, but they didn't make people feel arrogant, as if they should be like this.
Under the subconscious gaze of everyone, whether it was Zeng Jimin who performed brilliantly before or Lin Feibai who later became a standout, they were like the stars next to the bright moon, dim at this moment.
After hearing the rules briefly explained, Zheng Tianyu smiled and nodded, "It's quite interesting. Since we are traveling together, who wants to go with me?"
The person on the side smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, you can go alone, who dares to join you!"
"You can't say that, the rules are the rules."
"As expected of Mr. Zheng, Mr. Lin just wanted to be independent..."
Lin Feibai finally couldn't help but turned his head and looked for the person who spoke angrily.
Zheng Tianyu's eyes slowly swept across the scholars present, and he randomly selected one, "This brother looks a little unfamiliar. If you have never been there before, would you like to give it a try with me?"
Everyone looked at his fingers and were slightly startled.
Xia Jingyun himself was expressionless, but his heart was full of warning signs.
Because Zheng Tianyu was actually referring to him!
Just a coincidence?
Xia Jingyun, who has lived in two lifetimes, is not an innocent young man.
But he didn't understand, what did the other party want?
One is a high-ranking and powerful young man who is admired by all the stars;
One is a down-and-out man who has been confiscated from his home and has just been exempted from hard labor and has no reputation.
If the other party really wants to deal with him, isn't it just a matter of words?
Why go to all this trouble?
Moreover, only Feng Xiuyun knew that she wanted to take advantage of Wen Kui. Was she the one who told the secret?
Isn't that right? I haven't shown any great talents, right?
Or is this really just a coincidence?
Suddenly, a bunch of thoughts flashed through Xia Jingyun's mind, so much so that to outsiders there was a moment of silence.
Xu Dapeng was about to muster up the courage to refuse for him, but Xia Jingyun had come to his senses and said with a smile, "I don't dare to invite you!"
"You're crazy!" Xu Dapeng tugged at his sleeves and whispered: "You are determined to make a fool of yourself!"
Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, without explaining, and walked away with his head held high in the eyes of everyone who was gloating about his misfortune.
No matter what your plan is, you picked me just right!
There is nothing more shocking than defeating you like this.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Zheng Tianyu's eyes, he bowed his hands and introduced himself, "Jianning Zheng Tianyu."
He didn't have the arrogance of a big shot, but he also didn't have the kindness of a polite corporal.
As the name was officially revealed, cheers suddenly rang out from all around, drowning Xia Jingyun's self-introduction.
No one would care anyway.
In the stands, Xu Dapeng had a worried look on his face. Although this Xia Gaoyang was unreliable and even cheated him out of a few cents of money, he was a very comfortable friend to be with.
He was the only one who came to watch the fun, but why did he end up facing Zheng Tianyu!
The same worry appeared in Feng Xiuyun's mind.
In fact, before Zheng Tianyu appeared, she felt that Xia Jingyun might have the slightest hope of actually winning Wenkui.
But when Zheng Tianyu showed up, she had already assumed that the ten taels of silver were gone.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jingyun, who was so unlucky, could be picked by Zheng Tianyu to face him face to face.
Not only were they killed, but they were also whipped to death!
awful! It's too awful!
She sighed and took a sip of tea.
...
"Brother Zicheng, do you still need to watch this?"
Mr. Yun sighed, he didn't expect Xia Jingyun to be so unlucky that he would encounter such a thing.
Su Shidao also scratched his head. Even if he was optimistic about Xia Jingyun, he would not dare to say that he could compare with Zheng Tianyu! "
He shook his head, "Let's see, losing to Zheng Tianyu is not a shame. Let's just look at his literary talent alone."
"That's true. It's not normal to lose to Zheng Tianyu. As long as the loss is not too ugly, it's okay!"
...
Similar discussions were carried out among all the people paying attention to this cultural conference.
The two protagonists who were being watched, or rather, a protagonist and a supporting role, had already arrived at the first level of the case.
The old man guarding the gate skillfully pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on both sides, "No need to say anything, everyone will answer on the paper. Now please choose a topic."
Zheng Tianyu gestured to Xia Jingyun to choose. Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Why don't we each choose one question and you and I will answer it."
There was a burst of exclamation from all around. I didn't expect that this kid would dare to take the initiative to increase the difficulty.
Zheng Tianyu raised his eyebrows, "Okay."
As he spoke, the two of them stretched out their hands, selected a piece from the tray, and then opened it at the same time.
