Everyone at the scene had no last doubts about Qin Feng.
At this moment, everyone realized how high Qin Feng's literary attainments were. Challenging Qin Feng was simply a trick...
Qin Feng ignored the hot gazes around him, looked at the Zheng sisters with a smile, and affirmed without hesitation.
"The two young ladies' attainments in couplets are only inferior to mine. Looking at the world, I'm afraid no one can beat you two."
The implication of these words is tantamount to telling the Zheng sisters that if you want to blame it, it is your bad luck that met Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was obviously so arrogant, but the Zheng sisters were not disgusted at all. On the contrary, their hearts were pounding.
Totally enamored.
Qin Feng just thought about himself and said: "Given time, you two will definitely be able to defeat me."
"I will give you a little guidance and create a first couplet for you. If you two can match it, your mastery of couplets will surely go even further."
Upon hearing this, the Zheng sisters suddenly looked forward to it.
"Quickly, get some paper and pen for Marquis Qin."
The two girls hurriedly placed the four treasures of the study in front of Qin Feng. Zheng Qiao studied the ink himself, while Zheng Yu smoothed the rice paper.
Qin Feng was not polite. He picked up the brush and waved his hand. The tip of the brush moved like a dragon and a snake on the snow-white rice paper.
The desk was crowded with people, and their eyes were shining brightly.
Zheng Qiao whispered Qin Feng's calligraphy: "Baita Street, yellow blacksmith, making red furnace, burning black charcoal, emitting green smoke, flashing blue light, tempering purple iron, sitting north and facing south to strike things."
After putting down the pen, Qin Feng stopped staying, put his hands behind his back, and went straight to the next level.
There was dead silence behind them. Everyone stared blankly at the first couplet on the rice paper, feeling sweat on their foreheads.
"How... how to deal with this?"
"Is this Qin Feng's true strength?"
"Sisters from the Zheng family, do you two have an idea?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the Zheng sisters.
Zheng Qiao shook her head neatly, her eyes full of confusion: "The previous couplet has exhausted all the ideas of our sisters, but compared with the first couplet given by Qin Hou, it actually seems a bit childish..."
"We sisters are absolutely incomparable to the Marquis of Qin."
Zheng Yu on the side looked at the first couplet and couldn't help but swallowed: "This first couplet will probably take several years or even decades to complete. If we sisters were little scholars in a private school, the Marquis of Qin would have already He is a doctor from the Imperial College..."
Everyone looked at each other. They knew that Qin Feng's couplet skills were higher than those of the Zheng sisters, but they didn't expect that the gap was so terrifying.
In other words, since Qin Feng entered Yucheng, up to this moment, he has been accompanying the talented people and beauties of Yucheng, playing around?
Qin Feng has not yet put in any effort, but the talents and beauties of Yucheng have already tried their best.
This carefully prepared incense-burning literary forum is simply a joke!
The Zheng sisters looked at Qin Feng's leaving figure, their eyes showing a hint of loneliness. They actually passed by such a genius...
At the same time, word had spread throughout Yucheng.
The little book boys ran around and kept shouting: "Qin Feng has passed three levels in a row! It is unstoppable!"
"Qin Feng left Qiangu Absolute, is there anyone capable of dealing with it?"
Soon, the news reached the city lord's palace in Yucheng. The city lord Zhao Huansu covered his forehead and frowned.
Not long ago, in order to stabilize Qin Feng's mission and prevent the Liang soldiers from entering the city to cause trouble, he had to spend ten thousand taels of silver to eliminate disasters.
As a result, this incense burning literary circle still caused an uproar.
I'm afraid that the entire Yucheng's attention is now focused on Huijuan Tower.
In Zhao Huansu's opinion, if Qin Feng wants to enter the city, he can just arrange drinks, serve him well, and coax this ancestor away. What kind of incense-burning literary forum is he holding?
However, Princess Jingci took the lead in this matter, and Zhao Huansu had nothing to do.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huansu couldn't help but sigh: "Since Dadi's defeat, his prestige has been deteriorating. If I lose face again today and anger your majesty, I, the city lord, will be at the end of my seat. I must find a way to drive Qin Feng away as soon as possible. That’s it!”
The staff on the side quickly offered suggestions.
"Master, I have sent people out of the city to investigate before. Qin Feng's soldiers are cooking in the pot. I bought twenty fat pigs alone, as well as three cattle and sheep. I want to feast on them."
"It can be seen that Qin Feng and his subordinates are all pragmatic people."
"Compared with fame, Qin Feng must care more about money. Why not give him more money and let Qin Feng show his respect..."
Hearing this, Zhao Huansu frowned even deeper: "Give me more money? How much is too much?"
"Besides, Huijuan Tower has already lost three levels in a row. Isn't it too late to give money now? By then, I will have lost both face and dignity. This kind of stupid thing will not be done by this city lord!"
The staff quickly explained: "How about exchanging face for face?"
Zhao Huansu raised his eyebrows: "Go on!"
The staff member grinned and said shrewdly: "For Dadi now, face and lizi are equally important. Lizi is related to thousands of people, and face is related to whether the border is stable and whether the surrounding countries will continue to respect Dadi."
"Right now, it's obvious that face is more important than face. After all, the various countries have a lot of resentment against me, Dadi."
"The commotion in the incense-burning literary world today is so big, I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads all over the world. If we are the ones who win, won't we gain a good reputation?"
"In the end, it's all about spending money to buy a place!"
Zhao Huansu held his chin, thoughtfully, and felt that this matter was feasible.
Immediately sent someone to contact Qin Feng. Because the people in Huijuan Tower were multi-minded and the matter was not visible, they finally had to go out of the city to look for Qin Feng's capable men.
Not long after, a young man with a faint smile on his face appeared in front of the city lord's staff.
The corners of Liu Ming's mouth raised slightly: "Are you saying that the city lord hopes that the Marquis of Qin will show his favor and deliberately loses the burning incense literary world?"
The city lord's staff nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly it."
Based on Liu Ming's understanding of Qin Feng, Qin Feng would definitely accept it happily. After all, with Qin Feng's reputation, he no longer cares about this false reputation. It would be better to exchange it for real money.
Liu Ming immediately agreed, and while sending someone to notify Qin Feng, he asked with a smile: "How much money is your city lord willing to pay?"
The city lord's staff had already thought about this matter, so without any hesitation, they directly stretched out two fingers: "Twenty thousand taels of silver, can you?"
When he heard the price given by the other party, Liu Ming's face dropped and his eyes turned cold: "Are you insulting the Marquis of Qin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ming had already pulled out his short sword and put it on his staff's neck: "You only have twenty thousand taels of silver to buy the good name of the Marquis of Qin. I think you are obviously sending away beggars!"
"Do you know how many assets Tianjiying has? Do you know how much Beixi County's annual tax revenue is?"
