Chapter 19 The First Prince of Sishui Prefecture
Looking at the situation in the meeting place, Feng Xiuyun sat deeply and frowned, her worry was palpable.

Zeng Jimin and Lin Feibai are better than the other. Even if Zheng Tianyu doesn't come, Xia Jingyun, who is little-known, can compose poems comparable to theirs?
Even, are they not qualified to write poetry?
In the private room next door, Mr. Yun stretched out two fingers, picked up a crispy broad bean and put it in his mouth, "How is it? Do you still have confidence in Xia Jingyun?"

He loves calligraphy more, and there is no doubt about Xia Jingyun's calligraphy. Even if he fails in the Wenhui today, he is willing to accept this big disciple who may create a genre and win the name of the world after him.

Su Shidao said calmly: "I believe that a person who can write "I hope people will last forever and share the beauty of thousands of miles" will not be a mediocre person."

In the literary venue, Lin Feibai was satisfied and sat back in his seat with the winning ticket in his hands.

Hearing the cheering and drumming in his ears, and seeing Lin Feibai's appearance of being number one in the world, Xu Dapeng was filled with righteous indignation, and said angrily, "No, I don't accept it, I'm going to sue him!"

Xia Jingyun pulled him back, "Who are you suing?"

Xu Dapeng subconsciously looked at the great Confucianist on the stage, and immediately lost his energy like a punctured balloon.

Lin Feibai is colluding with these people, let them check themselves?
"Don't be so discouraged, you don't want him to succeed, there are ways."

Xia Jingyun's calm words immediately revived Xu Dapeng's dead heart.

"Gao Yang teach me!"

Xia Gaoyang chuckled lightly: "You and I go down and take Wenkui, won't Lin Feibai's plan fail?"

Xu Dapeng turned his head to look at him, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he was about to say something when suddenly there was a commotion from outside.

Amidst the din, the sound of horseshoes approached suddenly, and after the sound of horseshoes stopped, there was a hearty laughter.

"Haha! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, come one step later!"

The voice came to the ears, and a young scholar who was walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger came into everyone's eyes.

He has a handsome appearance, and there is still dust on his face and clothes, but his heroic and calm demeanor is like a royal soldier, no matter what he can't hide it.

A burst of exclamations sounded in an instant, and even the great Confucianists on the stage stood up in unison.

This time, Xia Jingyun knew the identity of this person without asking again.

The first son of Sishui Prefecture, the son of the prefect of Jianning County, Zheng Tianyu, the disciple of Zhouxue Xuexue.

I saw Zheng Tianyu saluted in all directions, and then said in a loud voice: "I met a group of bandits who robbed the people before, and it took some effort to kill them all, so I was late. I didn't intend to be contemptuous. I hope you will 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 badge of bravery.

"Wen Neng draws a pen to secure the world, and Wu Neng mounts a horse to determine the world! You are indeed Mr. Zheng!"

"Isn't it! Look at Mr. Zheng's appearance, and then look at Mr. Lin's spotless appearance, let's judge!"

Lin Feibai:
First off, I didn't mess with any of us
On the central high platform, a great Confucianist also smiled appreciatively and said: "Zhongming, there is no need to say more, we know you. Sit down and rest, and we will all listen to your masterpiece later!"

Zheng Tianyu smiled, "Since we're here, sitting down now won't make everyone disappointed and wait for a long time. Since I'm celebrating for my empress, I should try my best. How did I play today?"

Such proud words, but he said them confidently, but it doesn't make people feel arrogant, as if it should be so.

Under the subconscious gaze of everyone, whether it was Zeng Jimin, who was brilliant before, or Lin Feibai, who was outstanding later, they were like stars next to the bright moon, dim and dull at this moment.

Hearing a brief explanation of the rules, Zheng Tianyu nodded with a smile, "It's quite interesting. Since there are two people walking together, who would like to go with me?"

The people on the side smiled, "Young Master Zheng, you can walk alone, who dares to go with you!"

"You can't say that, the rules are the rules."

"As expected of Mr. Zheng, just now Mr. Lin wanted to go his own way."

Lin Feibai finally couldn't help turning his head, looking for the person who spoke with angry eyes.

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 played before, would you like to try it with me?"

Everyone looked at his fingers, slightly taken aback.

Xia Jingyun himself was expressionless, but his heart was full of warning signs.

Because Zheng Tianyu was referring to him!
Just a coincidence?

After two lifetimes, the Xia Jingyun he had eaten and met before was not some innocent young man.

But he didn't understand, what was the other party planning?

One is a high-ranking, powerful son with many stars holding the moon;

One is a down-and-out person who has been assigned by ransacking his home and has just been exempted from hard labor.

If the other party really wants to clean up himself, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?
Why bother?
Moreover, only Feng Xiuyun knew about Wen Kui's affair, so she told her the secret?
It's not like that, I haven't shown any great talent before, have I?

Or, is this really a coincidence that the other party just pointed at?

Suddenly, a bunch of thoughts flashed through Xia Jingyun's mind, so that there was a moment of silence in the eyes of outsiders.

Xu Dapeng was about to muster up great courage to help him refuse, but Xia Jingyun had come to his senses, smiled and said, "I'm determined to do what I want, I dare not ask you!"

"You're crazy!" Xu Dapeng tugged his sleeves quickly, and said in a low voice, "You're definitely going to make a fool of yourself!"

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, did not explain, and walked down with his head held high amid everyone's gloating gazes.

No matter what your calculations are, you have chosen me, but it is exactly what I want!

There is nothing more shocking than beating you like this.

A glint of appreciation flashed in Zheng Tianyu's eyes, he bowed his hands and announced his family name, "Jianning Zheng Tianyu."

He didn't have the arrogance of a big man, but he didn't have the kindness of a corporal.

And as the name was officially announced, cheers suddenly resounded from all around, which also drowned out Xia Jingyun's self-introduction.

No one would care anyway.

In the stands, Xu Dapeng looked worried. Although this Xia Gaoyang was not reliable and even lied to him for a tael of silver, he was a very comfortable friend.

He was the only one to watch the fun, but he ended up meeting Zheng Tianyu!

The same worry appeared in Feng Xiuyun's mind.

In fact, before Zheng Tianyu appeared, she still felt that Xia Jingyun might have such a slim hope of winning the title of Wenxia.

But when Zheng Tianyu appeared, she had already assumed that the ten taels of silver were gone.

But I didn't expect Xia Jingyun, who was so unlucky, to be picked by Zheng Tianyu to confront him face to face.

Not only to kill, but also to be flogged!

awful!That's horrible!
She sighed and took a sip of her tea.

"Brother Zicheng, is there still something to watch?"

Old Master Yun sighed, he didn't expect Xia Jingyun to be so unlucky that he would run into such a thing.

Su Shidao also scratched his head, no matter how optimistic he was 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 shameful thing, let's just look at his literary talent alone."

"That's true. It's not normal to lose to Zheng Tianyu. As long as you don't lose too badly, you'll be fine!"

Similar discussions are happening everywhere among all those who are paying attention to this literary meeting.

And the two protagonists who were watched, or in other words, a protagonist and a supporting actor, had already arrived before the case of the first level.

The gatekeeper expertly pointed to the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on both sides, "You don't need to make a sound, each answer on the paper. Please choose a question now."

Zheng Tianyu signaled Xia Jingyun to choose with confidence, Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Why don't we each choose a question, and you and I will both 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 they spoke, the two stretched out their hands, selected a piece from the tray, and opened it at the same time.
