Peerless Pirates

Yao Changqing was standing on the stage and had a clear view of the scene under the stage. As soon as Song Zheng came, the students from the martial arts academy immediately stopped talking, which made Yao Changqing secretly shocked. Seeing Song Zheng being welcomed by a rich lady like this, Yao Changqing's eyes immediately showed There was a hint of jealousy. Although the painting incident this morning made him anxious, he still gritted his teeth and organized the spring poetry outing according to the procedures, in order to completely trample Song Zheng under his feet.

While everyone in the audience was noisy, a group of people came in from the entrance of the Academy of Arts and walked straight towards the poetry stage. The leader was clearly Hu Tongxue, the governor of the state, and the one half a body behind was the guard Lu Hengshan. Lu Qiang was close Following Lu Hengshan, Yang Tong and Mizhou official Yu Yuan also followed closely behind, and the other two servants of the military and political leaders. Due to the Tielong Gang incident and the successful resolution of the military pay issue, Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan The relationship has eased. Therefore, as soon as Hu Tongxue received Lu Hengshan's invitation yesterday, he agreed to come with him to watch the Spring Outing Poetry Recital.

Everyone was wearing casual clothes. Even so, when the group arrived at the poetry stage, Hu and Lu were recognized. Yao Changqing stood high and could see far away, so he immediately walked down the stage, led the way to greet them, and shouted : "Student Yao Changqing pays homage to Lord Zhizhou, and pays homage to Lord Guard!" The scholars who recognized the two of them from behind burst into laughter and knelt down. The rest also knelt down.

Hu Tongxue waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are all exempt from courtesy. Today, Lu Shoubei and I are traveling in simple carriages. We are just here to take a look. You don't need to be polite. I hope you can 'drain the Pan River and the land and the sea' and take out the Excellent work, let Lu Shoubei and I appreciate the style of our talented people from Mizhou."

Hu Tong deserves to be the governor of the state. His few words were not only polite, but also aroused the fighting spirit of all the scholars. They were all gearing up and wanted to show off in front of their parents and officials.

Song Zheng didn't want to socialize with the two of them, so he and Lu Hong, who was afraid of seeing his father, hid in the crowd. Unexpectedly, Lu Qiang had seen them a long time ago and whispered a few words into Lu Hengshan's ear. Lu Hengshan smiled and became happy He asked in a loud voice: "Yao Changqing, is that Song Xiaolang who 'killed the gangsters with one hand' here?"

Yao Changqing caught a glimpse of Lu Qiang's actions and knew that it was Lu Qiang's idea, and he felt even more resentful. However, he was also a well-connected person, so he didn't show any signs of it on his face. He lowered his head and replied: "Young Master Song is here too. You two are here too. As soon as the master came, he ran away without knowing where he was." This was obviously for Song Zheng to wear small shoes. Considering how cunning Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan were, how could they not hear it. The two looked at each other and said nothing. Yang Tong was behind him. But he heard it and quickly shouted to Song Zheng: "Song Zheng, little brother, come here quickly!"

Seeing that there was no way to hide, Song Zheng turned around and hurriedly held up his hands: "Master Zhizhou, Master Guards, I just saw two streaks of purple energy appearing in the east, and heard the thunder and shaking of the earth, which made the boy almost want to Kneel down. It turns out that two adults have arrived. I thought it was a real immortal descending to earth!"

How shameless! He was blatantly flattering, but he still said it so confidently. The scholars couldn't help but despise Song Zheng, and they were secretly depressed, why couldn't they say such a thing!

Hu Tongxue smiled and said nothing, while Lu Hengshan laughed and scolded: "You brat, you are talking nonsense again. Mr. Hu and I are here in casual clothes. Where did the purple energy come from? And where was the thunder?"

Song Zheng walked up to the two of them with a smile and bowed to Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan respectively. When he raised his head, his face was serious, "It's true. From the footsteps of the two adults, I heard the rumbling of the history of Mizhou." Thunder!"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the scholars took a breath. This boy named Song was also very good at talking. The meaning of this sentence clearly is that Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan created a new history of Mizhou and their "great achievements" "It can be recorded in the annals of history. Yao Changqing next to him also heard it, and his heart was even more jealous.

Hu Tongxue was obviously stunned, then he pointed at Song Zheng and said with a smile: "You! Scholar Song is so upright and strict, how could there be a boy like you!" His voice was naturally full of joy.

Lu Hengshan patted Song Zheng's shoulder with his hand and said nothing. Lu Qiang, who was behind him, had beautiful eyes. He suddenly remembered something and quickly covered his mouth with his hand and glared at Song Zheng with a blush. Yang Tong He even gave a thumbs up, which means, little brother, you are awesome!

Song Zheng was about to come, and he quickly extended his hand and said: "Master Zhizhou, Master Guard, please come to the stage." Yao Changqing on the side also reacted. He took a step forward, pushed Song Zheng behind him, and also bowed down, making a gesture of invitation.

Song Zheng secretly laughed. Yao Changqing was disturbed by what happened this morning and was almost in disarray. Immediately, he did not speak, but took two steps back with a smile, then stood with his hands down. Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan faced each other again. After taking a look, they both laughed. The two of them climbed up the wooden stairs.

Yao Changqing quickly ordered two chairs to be brought in and placed on the north side of the stage. Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan made some concessions, and Hu Tongxue sat down first. At this time, everyone in the audience became solemnly quiet, no one was talking to each other anymore, and the scholars were all staring. He stared at the table, hoping that the three instructors who would give the questions would arrive immediately.

Soon, Zhao Huan, Song Jue and another instructor named Yu Huawen came over. The three of them saw Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan sitting on the stage from a distance, and they all quickened their pace. When the three of them came to the audience, they all He bowed and saluted, saying "I'm late". Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan also stood up and returned the salute. Hu Tongxue said with a smile: "Master Lu and I are here in casual clothes this time. We just want to see the literary talent of these scholars. The three of us The teacher has to come up with the questions quickly, these talented people can’t wait.”

The three of them laughed awkwardly and quickly went on stage. At the row of tables, Yao Changqing had already ordered someone to sharpen the ink. The three of them thought about it for a moment and then wrote a few words on the paper. Song Jue and Yu Huawen parted ways Passing the paper in Zhao Huan's hand, Zhao Huan looked at it, turned the three pieces of paper towards the audience, and said loudly: "The topic given by Professor Song is 'Spring Water', and the topic given by Yu Jiaoxi has only one word, and that is ' "Lake", as for me, the topic is "Liu Tan". Okay, there are a total of twelve tables here, from north to south, every four tables are in a group, corresponding to "Lake", "Liu Tan" and "Liu Tan" The three questions of "Spring Water" are limited to one stick of incense and must be answered with five or seven-character verses or quatrains. Those who have come up with poems can go on stage. Each group can have up to four people. Only one person from each group can come up again. One person must not be messy. Those who write poems on stage must not pause. They must write the poem in one breath to save time for others. Now light the incense!"

In the front and center of the poetry stage, there was a small incense burner. Yao Changqing stepped forward and lit a stick of incense stuck on it with a flint.

At this time, there was a commotion in the audience, and many scholars began to think hard, and some even discussed something with others. Song Zheng took advantage of others not paying attention, and stuffed the "Liu Tan" and the account book he got from Yao Changqing into Lu Hong's hands , and gave a few more instructions in a low voice. Lu Hong nodded quickly, turned around and started to find someone to prepare.

After half a cup of tea, people started to come on the stage. There were three wooden stairs along the stage. The scholars who were going to do these three questions crowded at the entrance of these three stairs respectively, racking their brains and thinking hard.

At that time, although there were people from the Alumni Association to maintain order, some scholars still had quarrels and even started fighting because of the competition for positions. This time, Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan were both here, so the scholars naturally did not dare to act recklessly and listened to the arrangement of the Alumni Association.

Team.

At this time, Zhao Huan, Song Jue and Yu Huawen were all standing behind the long table. Perhaps for the sake of fairness, Zhao Huan stood behind Song Jue's "Spring Water" title, and Song Jue stood behind Yu Huawen's "Spring Water" title.

After the title "Lake", Yu Huawen was naturally responsible for Zhao Huan's "Liu Tan" title. The three of them all judged on the spot. Poems that were too bad were thrown under the table, and poems that were good were put aside for later use.

Final decision.

At this time, Yao Changqing stood by the stage and did not come forward. Anyway, he had already prepared for it, so he kept secretly looking at Lu Qiang next to Lu Hengshan. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

Although the topic was not difficult, because there were so many good poems by predecessors, the scholars still racked their brains to come up with new ideas. The first man to take the stage quickly completed a poem. Zhao Huan took a look and realized that this

A dear friend wrote: "In March in Weishui, Mizhou, the beauty of things urged me to write new poems. The wind sparkled the duck green, and the sun and geese curled up." The poem is a good poem, but it is a pity that it is plagiarized from others. Wang Anshi of the previous dynasty had a poem

The first poem "Nanpu": "In February in Donggang, Nanpu, the beauty of things teased me with a new poem, with the wind sparkling duck green, and the sun and geese curling up." This dear friend only changed a few words, and then showed it off. Zhao

Huan chuckled and threw it under the table. (Xiao Gu is a hard worker, so you can keep it after reading it!)
