Chapter 865 The special puzzle of King Huainan

When the referee read Bai Ruozhu's poem, she found that many people were listening with their ears pricked up. I bet it was the song "Song of Lime" that stunned everyone yesterday.

Originally, she just wanted to get into the top ten, and she had no intention of competing for fame and fortune, but now that she looks at it, she can't be too confused, otherwise the poem yesterday will seem unreal.

After everyone listened to her poem, they couldn't help but applaud. Lin Xufei looked at her with bright eyes and sighed: "Being behind Miss Bai, Lin is really unlucky."

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help laughing and said, "Being in front of Mr. Lin and having Mr. Lin's talent as a comparison, I am unlucky."

As a result, the man behind Lin Xufei wailed: "Don't be humble to each other, I am the unluckiest, okay?"

That person didn't seem to be very famous, and he had never been in the top five in previous competitions. But at the moment, he had a grimace on his face and his eyes were squeezed together, as if he was speaking his true thoughts.

Bai Ruozhu burst into laughter. That man's expression was really funny.

The referee read her poem and then continued to read Lin Xufei's poem. Everyone praised the poem, which showed that Lin Xufei's literary talent was still very good, but not as extraordinary as Tang Feng's.

The results of the first round were quickly determined. The person who said he was the unluckiest did not enter the second round. The eliminated person had to leave the competition venue. The bitterness on his face before leaving disappeared again, and he said with a smile: "It was a worthwhile trip for me to be able to see Lin Xufei, one of the four most talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, and Bai Ruozhu, the most talented woman in the north."

After saying that, he walked away with a smile. Bai Ruozhu was stunned behind. The most talented girl in Beiyu... This name is too big. What kind of talent does she have? A rich girl is just about the same, a greedy girl...

"The second round is about chanting things and expressing one's ambitions. The title is bamboo. It is required that the word bamboo cannot be included in the poem. The top ten will enter the third round." The referee said loudly.

Everyone immediately looked at Bai Ruozhu. Is this a coincidence? Her name happens to have the character for bamboo.

Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly in her heart. This was definitely a coincidence. If Yong Shi could still write the poem she wrote in yesterday's calligraphy competition.

The competition had already begun, and no one dared to delay any longer. They all immersed themselves in writing. Bai Ruozhu thought about it for a while and wrote two lines of poetry on the paper:

Don't let go of the green mountains, and keep your roots in the broken rocks.

Even after countless hardships and blows, it still remains strong, regardless of the wind from the southeast or the northwest.

This time her words had a bit of a rebellious flavor, and no matter how strong the winds from the southeast, northwest or northwest were, she would not be knocked down by Bai Ruozhu.

She hung up the poem, and Lin Xufei next to her quickly finished it and hung it up. He turned to look at Bai Ruozhu's poem, with admiration on his face. However, because he couldn't speak during the competition, he only nodded towards Bai Ruozhu. .

Bai Ruozhu glanced at his poem, showed appreciation, and nodded slightly towards him.

Soon, the time for the second round came, and the referee began to read a poem. At this time, there was some noise, and then someone shouted: "The King of Huainan has arrived!"

The Huainan King's fiefdom is in the south of the Yangtze River. He can be regarded as the top management commander here. It is no wonder that he has attracted so many people's attention.

Bai Ruozhu had never seen the King of Huainan before. Looking from a distance, he saw a burly middle-aged man who seemed to be a military commander.

Lin Zhanpeng, the king of Huainan, was a king with a different surname. He was granted the title of king because of his military achievements and even received a fief, which was extremely rare in Danliang Kingdom.

Lin Xufei straightened up a little, becoming more serious because of his father's arrival. Bai Ruozhu could feel the changes in Lin Xufei and the admiration in his eyes, and could also guess that Lin Xufei wanted to behave better in front of his father.

"I got up in the middle and came over without saying hello. Don't be formal, just continue the competition." Said the Huainan Dynasty contestant, someone immediately gave him the first seat on the judges' bench, and he strode over to sit down. down.

The movements were neat and decisive, and Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but admire him. He was indeed a God of War who had been honed on the battlefield.

The referee was ordered to continue reading poems, and soon after reading the poems of twenty people, the judges began to judge, but this time they wanted to ask King Huainan what he meant. He waved his hand and said: "You can just watch and comment. I still want to Don’t you want to see what you old scholars think of you?”

The judges were very happy to hear this, stroking their beards to say thank you, and then continued with their selection.

In the end, as expected, Bai Ruozhu, Er Ge, and Lin Xufei all entered the top ten. Of course, Tang Feng, Wang Xuan, and Ding Guangji also entered the top ten. The rest were people Bai Ruozhu was unfamiliar with.

"The third round..." The referee had just started when he was interrupted by Lin Zhanpeng. He raised his hand and said, "I just went to visit a friend and got a puzzle. I thought it was very interesting, so I wanted to use it for a poetry meeting." I wonder what the judges think of the final topic?"

"This..." Some people hesitated for a moment. After all, the son of King Huainan also participated in the competition. Will he be criticized by others and complain that the competition is unfair?

King Huainan laughed loudly, took a note and handed it to the judges, and then said: "I, Lin Zhanpeng, don't even bother to help my son cheat. You can rest assured that Quanzi has never seen this question and does not know that I will come today."

When everyone heard what he said, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also a little embarrassed, which seemed like they were a bit mean-spirited before.

With the words of King Huainan, none of the judges could object, so they asked someone to read out the poem on the note. Worried that the contestants could not hear clearly, they also found paper to write, typed and hung up.

"The poem itself is a riddle. Using this answer to compose a poem also tests everyone's intelligence." Lin Zhanpeng said with a smile.

Lin Zhanpeng's riddle was read out:

It is difficult to extinguish the lamp when it rains, but the color becomes brighter when the wind blows.

If it flies up into the sky, it will become a star on the edge of the moon.

Bai Ruozhu shivered subconsciously. She was originally worried that it was too difficult and she couldn't solve the mystery, so how could she write a poem? But she didn't expect that this poem turned out to be familiar to her, and it was also a poem by Li Bai that she had read in her previous life!

She was nervous and excited. She had learned before that people in this era didn't know Li Bai at all, and many of the ancient poems she knew were not recorded here, so she dared to borrow them. But if someone knew Li Bai's poems, would they? Will it expose her?

In addition, could the same person who knows Li Bai's poems be a fellow countryman of hers, who came from all over the country?

Because the sudden appearance of King Huainan brought her such shocking news, she was so upset that she even forgot to think about how to write the next poem.

Not far away, Bai Zepei felt a little anxious when he saw her like this, wondering if he should hint her answer? See, that's a violation. What if the referee or judges see it? He turned around and glanced around. There was also the King of Huainan on the stage with a piercing gaze.

I wrote the wrong chapter in the last chapter. The first round was a comparison of scene descriptions. I have already revised it. I have been studying the materials for a long time for this. It is a pity that I am not good at writing. Otherwise, I would write a poem to show off. Hehe~
