Lin Xiao said to Long Yin: "Your Majesty, this competition should have ended long ago, but Lin Xiao has the audacity to take up your Majesty's and everyone's time and make a request."
"How's your injury?" Long Yin didn't answer, but asked with concern.
Lin Xiao said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The wounds on the flesh are no longer a problem, and they will recover in a few days."
"So I'm relieved. If you have any request, it's okay to ask."
"Yes!" Lin Xiao replied respectfully, and then said: "I, Lin Xiao, have always relied on my ability to be both civil and military. , complacent, but also quite lonely. Today, after a competition with Mr. Ye, I know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. I used to just sit in the well and watch the sky. I am ashamed and secretly happy. I feel quite happy when I see you. Mr. Ye Not only is his ability extraordinary, but also his wisdom is unparalleled, and his diction is extremely sharp. Presumably not only his martial skills are far superior to mine, but his literary talent must also be extraordinary. I, Lin Xiao, have already lost in the martial arts competition, so I want to compete with Ye Gongzi in writing, please Your Majesty and Ye Ye. The son is perfect."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Wuchen with piercing eyes, there was no lack of provocation in his eyes.
Suddenly there were chaotic whispers on the field. No one in Tianlong City does not know Lin Xiao's title of "Tianlong's No. 1 Talented Scholar". Although his martial arts are at the peak among his peers, there are many senior masters in Tianlong City, if all of them are counted, he can only be called outstanding. But his reputation for talent far surpasses his martial arts. I don't know how many master-level seniors willingly bow down in front of him, sighing that he is inferior, and even lamenting that they are only seen in their lives, and no one can match him. No matter it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, they are all excellent. The talent is so high that it is unbelievable.
Obviously, he wanted to use his extremely high talent to save face of himself and even the entire Lin family. And does Young Master Ye dare to fight? In front of the emperor and so many people, if they refused Lin Xiao's deliberate challenge, the Lin family would undoubtedly win without a fight. If it is a challenge... Is it really possible for the young master of the Ye family to win
Long Yin nodded and said: "The two great talents competing on the same stage must be wonderful, even I can't wait, how can I not allow it. Lin Xiaozhi's talent is well known, and Wuchen's talent must be extraordinary, I don't know How about Wuchen?"
Ye Wuchen thought about it for a while, and then said helplessly: "Since Your Majesty is interested, then I will fight with Mr. Lin."
Judging by his expression and tone, it wasn't that he knew he was invincible and had no choice but to compare with him, but... If it wasn't the emperor's intention, he wouldn't be bothered to make any comparisons with him.
With his promise, the atmosphere at the scene was visibly heated, because another wonderful show was about to begin, and more people were looking forward to seeing Lin Xiao's amazing talent with their own eyes.
"Mr. Lin, how do you compare?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"I don't know what Mr. Ye is good at?" Lin Xiao asked in a calm tone, but anyone could hear the conceit in it. He is really confident in his talent, not to mention just people of the same age, even if he searches all over Tianlong, he believes that it is difficult to find a few people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
"I am free. Since it is you who proposed the competition, it is up to you to decide." Ye Wuchen blocked the arrogance intact. , It is necessary to let the opponent lose without any complaints.
"Since that's the case, what about His Majesty's decision?"
Ye Wuchen nodded, indicating that it is up to you.
Lin Xiao turned around and said, "In order to show fairness, Lin Xiao has the courage to trouble Your Majesty to host the competition for the two of us. Poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all acceptable!"
"Hehe, this move suits my heart very much. Since this is the case, I will lead your competition. There are so many things involved in literary combat that one competition is not enough to determine the outcome. I have decided to give you three competitions. Whoever wins two games wins, what do you think?" Long Yin said with a smile, looking very interested in the next game.
"Everything is according to what His Majesty said." Ye Wuchen and Lin Xiao said at the same time. But at this time, the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them were unexpectedly the same - two games are enough, and there will be no third game.
"Okay!" Long Yin nodded, then frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I originally planned to take a trip to the lakeside of the west of the city after watching the game, and paint for fun, so I happened to bring two complete sets of painting tools. Since In this way, your first competition is painting!"
Long Yin clapped his palms, and the two attendants sitting behind him immediately understood, each of them carried a large sandalwood drawing board and various painting tools to Ye Wuchen and Lin Xiao, set up the drawing board, and drew After laying out the paper, the paintbrushes and dyes of various colors were handed over to the two of them, and then returned to their previous positions.
Painting in public... Everyone stretched their necks and couldn't wait to get up. In my heart, I praised the emperor for traveling with painting tools this time, which is really brilliant.
"This... Chen'er has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she has never learned to paint. What should I do?" Wang Wenshu became anxious again. She may not care about the outcome, but she never wants to see her precious son lose face in public.
Ye Shuiyao hesitated to speak, but still fixed her eyes on Ye Wuchen, with a look of anticipation. Today, she re-acquainted with this younger brother who should have been familiar with but can no longer be familiar with.
"Don't worry, no matter how badly he loses now, he will definitely be famous after today! So what if he loses, our Ye family doesn't need vulgar things like reciting poems and composing poems." Ye Wei said firmly, there was no anxiety on his face, only pride .
"That's right." Ye Nu also nodded. Apparently, he also fully believed that Ye Wuchen would definitely not be Lin Xiao's opponent in Biwen's words. But so what. Let Lin Xiao take the initiative to ask for Wendou, which shows that they have been forced to use this to save face. As for Ye Nu, who has fought bloody battles for many years, he looks down on literati who can only stay at home and compose poems. And today's Tianchen Continent is also a continent that respects martial arts.
"I excused my grandson before I even started. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to admit defeat before?" Lin Kuang sneered.
"Your second brother is my grandson's grandson, and you are also my grandson's grandson. When I talk, it's not your turn to intervene." Ye Nu snorted coldly.
"You!" Lin Kuang was furious, and was about to stand up and yell, but thinking of the occasion here and the next match, he suppressed his anger abruptly, and stopped looking at Ye Nu.
"There is no limit to the content of the painting, you can draw anything. But the time is only a quarter of an hour! After a quarter of an hour, you must stop writing whether you are finished or not." Long Yin said.
