"Executive member Xiao, something is not good!" King Pingyang looked at Brother Ji who was squatting in the yard and frowning, feeling very worried.

The head of the Xiao family was also in trouble and couldn't tell, "My lord, didn't you say that Murong is very proficient in pairs? It's already been two sticks of incense time, why... why can't he even get ten pairs right?"

King Pingyang was stunned, and he was also puzzled. Murong Qi blurted out his eternal absolute without even thinking about it for a long time. What's going on now?

"King Pingyang, this won't work either. If Murong Qi comes back in vain, our plan will be ruined!" Xiao Yuanwai knew what it meant to be self-inflicted.

Yesterday, when others asked me to compose poems, I just compose poems honestly. I, King Pingyang, had to be smart and add some couplets. Now it’s fine. People can’t forgive me and have excuses to cause trouble. I have to explain with a smile on my face.

.The most important thing is that if his daughter is not won away by Murong Qi, then the gain will really outweigh the loss!

"Executive member Xiao, it's better to do this!" Prince Pingyang leaned into the Xiao family master's ear and whispered in a low voice.

The head of the Xiao family was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, "What a great idea!"

So, the heads of the Xiao family and Prince Pingyang walked out of the living room together and said loudly to the scholars outside, "I wonder if everyone has finished answering?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, except for Mr. Xiao!" Wang Quan and Wang Wei stepped forward with smiles on their faces and pointed at Brother Ji beside them, "Everyone has finished answering, except this person!"

"Oh?" King Pingyang was stunned, and then asked strangely, "Mr. Murong, why don't you answer the question? Do you think it is too simple and insults your intellectual level?"

Brother Ji was very upset. He scratched his head and wrote out just one of the fifty pairs. He didn't know how to end it. When he heard what King Pingyang said, he immediately understood his intention.

With a smile, Brother Ji spread out his hands and threw away the brush, crumpled the test paper and threw it aside, "It's boring...it's too simple. Ahem, Your Majesty, after all, we are also talented people from Nanyan Kingdom, take some.

Isn’t it a bit disrespectful to use such a simple thing to fool us?”

"How outrageous!" Wang Quan and Wang Wei shouted in unison, "How could Prince Pingyang and Yuan Xiao just ask some simple questions casually? We...we thought for a long time before answering!"

Brother Ji then looked at the people around him curiously, "Everyone, did you also rack your brains to come up with this? Hey... I see that you are so talented in writing, I thought everyone was very relaxed!"

Most of these scholars are high-minded and good-looking. When Brother Ji says this, how can they still admit that they have worked hard to complete the answer?

I heard everyone say, "Indeed, the question is too simple. I just took a few glances and I knew the answer in my mind."

"Yeah, why did the two brothers say it was difficult? Hey, if you think it's difficult, don't drag us along. I finished it very easily!"

Suddenly, Wang Wei and Wang Quan's expressions changed suddenly.

King Pingyang secretly praised Murong Qi for his quick thinking and how fast his brain turned! But he pretended to be thinking about it. After a while, King Pingyang stepped forward and said, "Yes, this time we are actually testing everyone's answer speed, and

It’s not about the depth of the answer. Everyone thinks it’s easy, so the speed is fast. Haha, in this case, the second level is no longer interesting, and everyone can advance. Of course, two young generals, you said it took a lot of effort to complete it.

That’s not easy for me to do.”

"No, no, no, no, it's simple, too simple!" Wang Wei and Wang Quan knew very well that King Pingyang was targeting them! After all, his father was his mortal enemy. Therefore, no matter what they said, they would be criticized by King Pingyang.

Grab the handle.

King Pingyang smiled with satisfaction, "Haha, you may have many questions, so I should take the initiative to answer them! In fact, Yuan Xiao and I were wrong..."

"kindness?"

"The first literary test was just a winter hymn. We thought there would be hundreds of scholars who would be promoted, but who knew... there were only a few dozen. This was beyond our expectations, so

The difficulty of the second game is not high, it just wants to test the speed of everyone's answering questions! Just imagine, these nearly a thousand scholars came to fight. If they wiped out everyone in the first two games, then I and I

Isn’t it true that Member Xiao’s work was all in vain? Therefore, the questions for the first two battles were too simple, but there was an accident in the first one!”

After King Pingyang explained this, all the scholars nodded one after another. But when they came back to their senses, they thought, hey, this is not right! Damn it, these two literary battles are not easy to answer in all fairness. There were nearly a thousand people and only twenty were left.

There are so many people!

"That's all. The second battle of literary power should be for all the scholars to practice, and the next one will be the difficult one. Haha, everyone, be careful!" King Pingyang waved his hand, which made everyone feel happy again.

No matter how you say it, you have passed two levels. However, this just pissed off Wang Quan and Wang Wei.

"King Pingyang, what about Murong Qi?"

"Mr. Murong is extremely talented and learned. I will never be able to defeat him. Do you think these little couplets will arouse his interest?" King Pingyang did not have a good temper towards the two princes of the General's Mansion. "Both of them are also young talents.

Jun, even I can see this, so don’t deceive yourselves!"

"But..."

"Hey, what do you mean when I say you two?" Brother Ji raised his eyebrows, "You mean I can't make couplets? Okay, okay, I remembered a first couplet earlier, and I was fascinated by it, so

I don’t have time to answer. Let’s do this, if you come up with this couplet, I will admit defeat!”

At this time, your thoughts are wandering nine days away, thinking of other couplets?! Damn it, who will believe this?!

"snort..."

"Don't dare to challenge?!" Brother Ji asked contemptuously.

"Who says you dare not?!"

"That's good for you. The first couplet is: Smoke locks the willows in the pond!" Brother Ji smiled faintly.

When the first couplet came out of my mouth, the scholars just read it once and were stunned. King Pingyang thought about it for a few words, and he was also shocked in his heart.

This is not an ordinary pair, it is a completely restricted first couplet! The radicals of the five characters "Yansuo Pondliu" include "metal, wood, water, fire, earth" and "five elements", and the second couplet should also be

Only with the "five elements" can we get it right.

Not only that, the level must be correct, and the artistic conception must be correct, which is getting harder and harder!

"Okay, let's go back and taste our food slowly!" Brother Ji glanced at the frowning scholars around him, and then sneered, "Two young generals, as long as you can figure it out, I will admit defeat immediately!"

"Hmph...you've been thinking about it for so long, but you're still right?!" Wang Quan replied not to be outdone.

Brother Ji chuckled, "I'm sorry, I accidentally got it wrong!"

"..." Wang Quan was suddenly speechless.

"Don't roll your eyes, I won't tell you!" Brother Ji made a haha, "My lord, let's go to the next game!"

King Pingyang nodded, "Then I will announce the test questions for the next literary battle, which is also the last literary battle! Therefore, there are masters who compose poems in seven steps. Now we will use couplets as the title, and each of us will walk in seven steps.

Compete a poem to see whose literary talent is higher!"

"Seven steps?!" All the scholars lost their countenance.

To compose a poem in seven steps, you still need to use couplets as the title. The meaning of the couplet title is that you can make a couplet and also complete the poem. This difficulty is not overwhelming!

"I'll count to three seconds. Whoever can compose a poem will take seven steps on his own. If anyone comes, I'll take care of him with pen and ink!" King Pingyang turned around and shouted, and more than ten people came forward holding pen, ink, paper and inkstones.

"three..."

No one stood up.

"two..."

Still no one came forward.

"one..."

"I'll do it!" Chicken Brother smiled playfully and took a step forward unsteadily.

Wang Wei's face turned cold and he took a step forward.

Wang Quan was shocked. He knew very well how rich his brother was. The two brothers were a literary general and a military general. Although his brother loved poetry, calligraphy, and art of war, but did not like martial arts, he could not say that he could walk in just seven steps.

He composed an extremely difficult poem!

Wang Wei did not think so. He estimated that Murong Qi would not be able to complete this question. If he abstained from this exam, he would really have no chance. If he and Murong Qi failed to answer the question, then it would be considered a tie.

.Maybe there can be a rematch. Others will give up automatically and can no longer continue.

I have to say that Wang Wei is still a very smart person.

After Brother Ji stood up, he turned around and saw Wang Wei next to him. He was stunned for a moment and then sneered.

This kid is just trying to make a fool of himself. If I don't answer, he will be fine. If I answer, he will humiliate himself and he will not be able to hold his head high in front of others in the future!

"Ahem, you two can start!" The Xiao family leader standing aside was very satisfied with Brother Ji's decisiveness, but his brows were deeply furrowed.

Because this was a small stove specially opened for Murong Qi, and someone else actually stepped in.

King Pingyang expected that no one would dare to stand up to answer this difficult question, and Murong Qi had always been very courageous and thick-skinned. As long as he stood up, even if he couldn't write a poem, the Xiao family master would still say something brave enough to observe.

By observing, you can stop other people's mouths.

But now, two people have accepted the test. One is Murong Qi, and the other is the eldest son of the General's Mansion!

Brother Chicken tilted his head and glanced at Wang Wei. He took the first step, then the second step, and the third step... When Brother Chicken reached the fifth step, he suddenly reached out and made a move, loudly

He shouted, "Here comes the pen!"

The boy next to him quickly handed over the pen and ink. Brother Ji was so proud that he raised the pen and wrote five big characters on the scroll, "Smoke Locks Pond Willow".
