Need for a Guard

Dugu Juejue has been indulging in the gorgeous peach blossoms, and it is rare for him to find a trace of tenderness in his cold heart. .

It's just that the fog in the peach blossom forest is getting thicker and thicker, and what Dugu Juejue can see is only three feet away. Although it is the first time to experience the peach blossom forest, it feels like a mysterious fairyland.

But after staying for a long time, it makes people feel empty in their hearts, and they always feel that they are not so at ease, and there is a sense of uneasiness in the subconscious.

"Little sister, where are you?"

Although the little loli called her aunt, she would not admit that she was an aunt, so she responded with 'little sister'.

But a few 'little sister' yelled out, but did not receive an echo.

It was only then that Dugu Juejue was surprised to find that the reason why this peach grove felt depressing after staying for a long time was because of the deathly silence in this peach blossom grove.

Although the peach blossoms are in full bloom, there are no birds chirping, bees playing and collecting honey, and butterflies dancing.

The whole peach blossom forest is like a space isolated from the world, where you are deaf, dumb, and silent prisoner.

Dugu Juejue suddenly became extremely anxious, and after she called out to her little sister a few times, she was sure that she was lost in the peach blossom forest.

She regretted that she should not have entered the Peach Blossom Forest to play, and even more regretted that she should not have left little Lolita to swim around alone.

At this time, even though her martial arts were superb, she couldn't find a way out, and felt extremely depressed.

When he was feeling lost, suddenly his eyes lit up, and a hazy narrow path appeared in front of Dugu Juejue.

Overjoyed, she hurried along the winding path. .

Turn left for a while, turn right for a while.

As long as she can walk on the road, her heart will feel a lot more at ease—as long as it is a road, there will always be an end. This time, she can finally leave this strange peach blossom forest...

In Taohuawu at this time, people are surging and it is very lively.

Under the arrangement of Hong Xing and the others, thousands of talented scholars have already sat down in an orderly manner, but the buzzing noise continues. After all, this novel Taohuawu and the room full of famous calligraphy and paintings make these talented scholars The heart is full of envy and admiration, and I can't help being born with admiration.

After Zeng Tong and the last batch of talents came to Taohuawu, it marked the beginning of the Poetry Festival.

Standing on the high platform, Li Xianyu suddenly found that the master has not come back. Could it be that the master is still admiring the flowers in the peach blossom forest after so long?

Li Xianyu watched the little Lolita running back and forth in the hall, busy serving tea and water for those gifted scholars, hurried over to stop the little Lolita, and said softly, "Little sister, where did Auntie go?"

Little Lolita pulled Li Xianyu up to the second floor, pointed to a hazy figure in the peach blossom forest outside the window, smiled like a flower, and said, "Sister Yu'er, look, Auntie lowered her head, walked a few steps to the left, and then walked away." After a few steps, you should be picking mushrooms, right? Sister, don’t worry, otherwise... I’ll go find my aunt?”

Seeing the figure of Dugu Juejue, Li Xianyu felt at ease in his heart.

I thought it would be better for the master to pick mushrooms, so that I would save myself from making trouble like enemies when I met Xiao Shitou, and made myself embarrassed.

When Li Xianyu came downstairs, he saw that there was a lot of noise and disputes in the hall. It turned out that because of the selection of judges, the talented scholars were arguing.

When it was decided to hold a poetry meeting in the Mingyue Building, Zeng Tong, in order to ensure that he would be safe at the poetry meeting, found a great Confucian who was close to his family and was elected as a judge. .

In terms of literary talent, reputation, and qualifications, these people are definitely famous Confucian scholars in the Great Yan Dynasty, at least on the surface, they don't seem to have any tricks.

It's just that Zeng Tong bribed them secretly - as long as one or two of them are slightly biased towards him at the critical moment when they comment, it will benefit him greatly.

The reason why there was so much noise at the moment was because Shi Yue deliberately kicked out four of the fifteen great Confucian judges, and replaced them with Old Master Geng, Chen Sifan, and Zhu Chao.

And this proposal, although favored by most of the students, caused dissatisfaction among the fifteen judges!

No matter who it is, once they are kicked out of the judging position, whether it is status or reputation, won't it be difficult to raise their heads?

Meng Chen jumped out and said aggressively: "This proposal is very bad! How can a gentleman break his promise when he is open-minded? Now that the judges have been selected, how can he change the order because of the opposition of some people? There must be a limit in everything, Are there any rules?"

Zeng Shan and Zeng Tong were obviously very satisfied with Meng Chen's watchdog's performance.

Shi Yue looked at Meng Chen's appearance as a young bird, and hated him half to death in his heart - this guy, eating a hundred beans is not too fishy, ​​next time if Fan is in his hands, he will definitely not let him off lightly .

Looking at Meng Chen's fat face, Shi Yue said forcefully, "The Jinghua Poetry Fair was held by Li Xianyu, the oiran, and those judges were selected by Mingyue Building, but Li Xianyu has left Mingyue now." Lou, parted ways with Mingyuelou, so why do you still use the people selected by your Mingyuelou as judges? The principle of irrelevance can be understood by an individual, I wonder if you understand it, Mr. Meng?"

Meng Chen was shouting outrightly at first, but now he was stabbed back by Shi Yue's sharp words, leaving him no chance to fight back, his dry lips flickered, but he didn't know how to object.

Zeng Shan was old and cunning, and hurriedly interjected: "Deputy Shiyuan, although these judges were selected by Mingyue Building, each of them is also a great Confucian of the dynasty, with extraordinary knowledge. Wouldn't it be against the heavens if any of them were eliminated?" and?"

"In my opinion, it's better to be like this. The judges will expand to four more people, including Mr. Geng, Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhu, and Mr. He, making it 19 people. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"

His compromise proposal won the unanimous approval of all the talents!

But Shi Yue has deeply learned Zeng Shan's cunning and cunning, this fight is in the name of being fair and courteous, maximizing the benefits, but what they say is so reasonable, it makes people feel suffocated.

Shi Yue would never sit still, and said to Li Xianyu: "Miss Yu'er, the poetry meeting is organized by you, and the judges are naturally selected by you. No one dares to go against Miss Yu'er's intention, so please invite Miss Yu'er to host it." justice."

Li Xianyu is smart, understands Shi Yue's good intentions, and can't bear to let Shi Yue fall into the trap set by Zeng Shan and Zeng Tong alone.

She thought for a while, pointed to the peach blossom forest outside the window with her slender hands, and said softly: "The fifteen judges selected from Mingyue Tower, as well as Master Geng, Master Chen, Master Zhu, and Master He, are all from Dayan. Hongru, it's rare to get together today, it's really a blessing!"

"Yu'er made a bold suggestion, and all the great scholars took this peach blossom as the topic, and each wrote a poem for all the talented scholars to judge! The top fifteen most popular scholars will be selected for the poetry review, okay?"

All the talented scholars couldn't help applauding when they heard the words—since you want to be a judge of talented scholars, you must have the real ability to be amazing.

The guy who pretends to be a wolf with a big tail indiscriminately, just get out of here in disgrace!

As soon as Li Xianyu's words came out, the fifteen Confucian scholars selected by Mingyue Tower immediately fell silent and at a loss, while Old Master Geng, Chen Sifan, Zhu Chao, and He Yuan looked at each other and laughed loudly.

That hearty smile contained supreme confidence, speechless and incomparable!
