One Hundred Routes of Counterattack

His vermilion lips parted slightly: "Golden cups of sake worth ten thousand dollars, and jade plates worth as much as ten thousand dollars."

The people who looked at him at a young age and were a little careless, when they heard the beginning of this sentence, they couldn't help but stop the movement of their hands, and the small voices in the hall weakened.Rong Ke's eyes were full of interest, and he couldn't help straightening his back.

"...stopping the cup and throwing the chopsticks, unable to eat, drawing the sword and looking around in a daze.

To cross the Yellow River Bingsaichuan, will climb Taihanghang snow-covered mountains.

Come leisurely fishing on Bixi, suddenly take a boat dream day.

Difficult way! Difficult way! What is wrong, where is it now?

There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the sails will be hung straight to the sea. "

As the last sentence fell, the entire hall fell silent, and all the literati looked dazed and realized something.

"Okay!" The one who broke the eerie silence was the fearless and rebellious Prince Rong—Rong Ke.

Following his applause, he clapped his hands three times in a row, and sighed: "It's a good saying that there will be times when the wind and the waves cleave, and you will hang the clouds and sails to help the sea! I can't think that this mere banquet can make you write such a heroic poem. Life can be met. Such a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation should be revealed!"

His unscrupulous praise finally rejuvenated the atmosphere in the hall. It took only a moment from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic, and all the people in the hall were talking about it. The topic of course was the star standing in the center of the hall. juvenile.

Unexpectedly, a mere young man can make such a splendid show!

The eunuch also nodded frequently, with loving eyes: "Young Master Rong is right, I also feel the same way, I never thought that there are such young heroes in my Chaohua City. I don't know who you are, Xiao Lang, so talented?"

Qingxue cupped her hands and bowed, and said loudly: "Wan Sheng... has no fame, a commoner, and his life is like a straw. Today, I just passed by here by chance. I am happy to see you and... it is inconvenient to tell me, please forgive me!"

The prefect was surprised and said: "What's the reason? Could it be that Your Excellency has made such a masterpiece, and this poem will become popular among scholars in the future. Do you insist that it is the work of Anonymous?"

However, he changed his mind: "This man's temperament is refined and his appearance is extraordinary, but in the poem just now, there is a line of "stopping the cup and throwing the chopsticks, unable to eat, drawing the sword and looking around in a daze." 'Sentence, is there really any difficulty? '

The more I think about it, the more I am right. There is clearly a passion for facing difficulties and obstacles in this poem. I am afraid that this is a young man whose fate is in danger.Seeing that his clothes are extraordinary, but the decorations are simple, and his words are evasive, he guessed that he might be a bastard who was oppressed by the lord. Even though he had such a talent, he could only come here secretly. That's why he was emotional and angry.

The eunuch who had already figured out a grievance entanglement immediately decided to help him, and deliberately asked: "Young master, you might as well say it bluntly, the so-called 'everything can be said to others', you have such a talent, why do you avoid it!"

"...Since that's the case, Wansheng's surname is Qin, and his single name is the word Xue."

"So it's the young man of the Qin family!"

Rong Ke, who was quietly watching all this, drank the contents of the cup: "Qin Xue? Qingxue! Hehe!"

=============================

After the news about the crab feast spread, the name "Qin Xue" became famous overnight.

"When the wind blows and the waves break, hang the clouds and sail straight to help the sea. This poem...is indeed a good poem!" Wang Yao chanted this poem, "It is said that sorrow is easy and joy is difficult, and this poem is also about mourning, but there is something in it With a burst of vitality, I really don’t know who has such a young talent.”

"..." Hearing that there is such a genius on weekdays, it is inevitable that his heart will be aroused. Chu Liang, who is suffering from a master's illness and asks more questions, remains silent.

Wang Yao couldn't help but startled: "What's your reaction?"

"My reaction."

"..." Wang Yao rolled her eyes indecently, "I said, didn't you just take a painting of your favorite person, as for pulling a face to me with all your heart? Don't you... don't you want to know this? Where is the poet?"

Pingsheng, who was playing the piano carelessly, paused: "Why do you say that, brother, as if Yuan Wang is such a small-hearted person."

Chu Liang was able to face Wang Yao's words indifferently, but he couldn't ignore what his sweetheart said: "Master is right, only a fool like senior brother would think that I still miss the things I gave away."

"It's something my sister-in-law gave to my senior brother." Wang Yao corrected, "Pingsheng, don't just talk for this wooden face. It's not that careful. What's the reason for his behavior?"

"Articles are made naturally, and you can get them by chance. I'm sorry that I'm not good at poetry and prose. I'm afraid I can't share my worries for my brother."

"..." Wang Yao was a little helpless, "A good sentence is a natural thing, and you can get it by chance. Just based on this sentence, I really can't believe that you are not good at poetry."

"Forehead……"

Chu Liang said at this time: "I think this matter is a bit strange."

"what?"

"This poem is indeed a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, it is undeniable, but...why haven't you considered that topic?"

What subject?feast?

Wang Yao said: "You mean... this poem doesn't fit the title?"

"Apart from the first couplet, is there anything related to the topic? Poetry is about touching the scene, but this poem...although it is a classic, it seems far-fetched to put it here."

"...So, it is possible that this is just a masterpiece prepared in advance? No, it may even be written by a gunman! Hey, let me just say, such a weak-looking young man is actually so capable, I still think about it. In Chaohua City, who has a young son named Qin Xue, tsk tsk, let him bump into a dead mouse, hmph."

Wang Qi, who happened to be passing by here, couldn't help but came over and answered.

"It's not entirely true. People who can write such poems don't know how valuable their poems are, but don't hesitate to give this poem to such a young boy? However, it is really difficult for a young man to taste the three flavors of the anger. I don't really believe that this is done by him, but I prefer it to be obtained by the elders. If I strongly press this poem to this topic, I am afraid that firstly, I have great confidence in the quality of this poem, and secondly..."

"It's this person who doesn't know much about the connotation of poetry." Wang Yao said calmly.

Chu Liang's eyebrows and eyes were light: "Yes." Yu Guang noticed Pingsheng who was silent beside him, and said softly, "What's the matter, Master? But what's wrong?"

"..." Pingsheng looked at Chu Liang with a dazed expression, "Yuan Wang, what was the name of that man, Mr. Wang Qi said earlier?"

"Qin Xue." Wang Qi said it casually, and was suddenly taken aback, "Qingxue?!"

Chu Liang blinked.

=============================

Qin Xue's name is getting bigger and bigger in Chaohua City, and it is not even limited to Chaohua City, it is spread and famous all over the world.However, even though he has a name, Qin Xue's identity is still a mystery. Unless he shows up, no one will be able to visit him. Many people seem to ask for a lot of money for poems, but they can't even find him anywhere.

This is naturally because the Regent, who is eager to seek talents and love talents, helped to conceal Qingxue's identity.Otherwise, with Qingxue's ability, it would be a matter of minutes to drop the vest.

Yes, just because of Qingxue's monster-level poetry talent, Rong Ke was very interested in him.

Isn't it surprising that a young man from a land of love and moon can write such a masterpiece?The more you explore, the more you feel that the other party is a cloud of fog, and the closer you get, the more excited you feel.

Before he knew it, this young man who had always been elegant and gentle, yet seemed alienated from the whole world, had quietly entered his heart.He is calm and calm when encountering problems, and he always has new insights when looking at problems. Even the border defense that troubled him before, he has something to say... What a treasure!

Of course, apart from Rong Ke, Wu Shilun was the one who discovered Qingxue's specialness.Just like the original plot, the three of them entangled endlessly, and then Feng Shui took turns. Rong Ke was stimulated by the happy appearance of Qingxue and Wu Shilun together, and insisted on Pingsheng to pick up the guests.

...Wait, is there something wrong?

Why did Qingxue have a problem, but he ended up going to Pingsheng for trouble?

However, the self-respecting Rong Ke didn't think there was any problem.His logic is this: Qingxue, a cold-hearted prostitute, cheats on him, so of course he wants to take revenge on him.But I really love the other person so much that I can't hurt him, so I can only treat him in the same way.

That's right, I also find others to cheat on me.

who?Who is the most famous in this Chaohua City?

Pingsheng, of course.

In particular, Pingsheng has always been Qingxue's master, so to be able to enjoy Qingxue's service calmly, there is naturally a price to pay.

——Such a strange logic, if there is not a long and detailed inner journey in the original plot, Pingsheng would have rejected it no matter what.

No, even if he saw the logic in the original plot, he still refused!

Is there any mistake, what do you care about me when you fall in love?In the original plot, at least Pingsheng was jealous of Qingxue and blabla, and now he is sweetly exchanging sugar with his lover from the beginning to the end, okay? !

Facing Rong Ke who insisted on entering the house to "talk at night with candles" and "talk over wine", Ping Sheng put on a blank face: "Mr. Rong visited late at night, why is it?"

"You are here in the Qinlou Chuguan. Why do you say I am looking for you? What? Chu Yuanwang, you can treat me with gentle words, and treat me, a foreigner, as cold as ice?"

"...Mr. Rong, although Pingsheng is a prostitute, but now he is a courtesan who sells his art but not his body. There are countless beauties in this building. Why don't Mr. Rong go downstairs and find someone who is willing to receive you?"

"Ha! Is this young man who you prostitutes can pick and choose? To put it bluntly, you are just doing some skin and meat business, why do you have to have so many rules, and you really think of yourself as some kind of superior person what?"

Rong Ke returned to school with great anger, he secretly hated, but also had a trace of panic.He doesn't want to admit that the Qingxue he likes is also such a vulgar person, but because Wu Shilun is so rich, and he is just an "unknown person", he treats Wu Shilun favorably.He didn't dare to speculate on the person he likes like this, but it didn't prevent the frosty Pingsheng facing him coldly, using all kinds of vulgar words to humiliate and vent.

Pingsheng was not angry, but just said indifferently: "What Mr. Rong said is that I wait for the man of Fengyue, and you wait for the benefactor. What's the difference between a prostitute selling a laugh and a beggar selling poverty?"

"..."

Pingsheng's tone was slightly mocking, and he smiled softly: "Furthermore, when buying and selling things, you have to pay attention to what you like and what you want. I'm so obsessed with the rules, it's just because I'm selling a Fengya... Let's put it this way, Mr. Rong. Are you willing to sing the wind and play the moon with those coolies and the same beauty?"

It seemed that his tone was too flat, the depression in Rong Ke's chest seemed to be punched on the cotton, and it was discouraged instead.

He calmed down, and had already recovered his original demeanor. Thinking of his rude remarks just now, he couldn't help being a little unnatural to Pingsheng who saw all the process of his gaffe.No, thinking that the whole process of Pingsheng was as calm as water, on the contrary, he was like a raging bull, and suddenly a sense of absurdity arose.

Is it his illusion? Why do you feel that this person looks like he is watching a monkey show?

"However, there is one thing that Mr. Rong said is right. I really have different attitudes towards Yuan Wang and Mr. Rong." Ping Sheng said in a calm voice, "Who made me like him?"

"What?" Rong Ke looked over in surprise, and met gentle and calm eyes.

It seems that when talking about the person he likes, there seems to be tenderness on Pingsheng's face. This kind of tenderness can't be concealed at all, and it will appear in every change of his eyes and facial muscles.

"...I only have a square inch in my heart, and it's all about him, so it's hard to tolerate others."

This kind of emotion cannot be seen in the cold palace, no, which of the high-end houses full of Jinghua has such affection?It is too eye-catching and magnificent, even dazzling to the point of envy.

envy?Jealous of what?

Jealous of Chu Liang who is so admired, or jealous of the relationship itself?

Rong Ke didn't dare to think deeply about it. After being tossed like this, at the beginning, he saw the person he liked drinking and laughing with others, Yan Yan's indignation, and then the rising anger and lust intertwined, etc., have disappeared without a trace like the ebb tide. trace.

'Forget it, let this person go, at least not face to face with Chu Liang. '

he told himself so.

"It seems that Mr. Rong has calmed down, this is the best."

Rong Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong, yes, this Pingsheng is indeed not very pleasing, his eyes are so clear that he seems to be able to see through all the distracting thoughts in your heart, and that arrogant and lofty posture is incompatible with his status as a man in the world .But it is undeniable that this person sees things thoroughly, even to the point of being too clear. He has a special charm. Even if he clearly shows his rejection of himself, Rong Ke still cannot deny that, on that beautiful face In addition, there is a strange charm lingering on this person.Not to mention that when he really fell in love with someone, the frank admiration might be even more unstoppable. It's no wonder that Chu Liang is so obsessed with him.

But why would such a person be critical of such a talented Qingxue?

Yes, in the previous words, Qingxue always implicitly hinted at this aspect, imperceptibly making Wu Shilun, who already despised Pingsheng, and Rong Ke, who had no dust in his eyes, feel disgusted with him frequently.

But now, after talking with Pingsheng, Rong Ke refreshed his own evaluation in his heart.

Hate?Yes.

But he subconsciously didn't believe that this person was the same person as the one Qingxue was talking about.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of a cup falling to the ground outside the door.

The two people in the room turned their heads and bumped into Qingxue with an unbelievable face.

I saw him staring at Rong Ke in a daze with pained eyes.If it had been before, Rong Ke would have been ecstatic when he saw this look in his eyes——

What does this mean?It shows that Qingxue has himself in her heart, otherwise, why would he care so much about what happened between him and Pingsheng?

But now... the scene I saw in the afternoon flashed in my mind, and Pingsheng's unconcealable tenderness when he talked about the person he admired just now, the two alternated together.

...Qingxue may have herself in her heart, but...how much does she occupy?

=============================

"You guys..." There was a hint of disbelief in Qingxue's eyes, and then she seemed to think of something, forced herself to restrain herself, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, but from his trembling voice, it was not hard to hear the agitation in his heart , "Excuse me, Qingxue didn't expect that Mr. Rong and Mr. Rong came to look for Mr. Rong so late."

"It's okay, Mr. Rong is leaving anyway." Pingsheng said lightly.

Rong Ke also seemed to feel that this scene was a bit embarrassing, and more importantly, his heart was in a mess, and it seemed that some bad guesses were about to break out, which forced him to escape home and sort out the myriad of messy things in his heart: " Indeed, Rong is taking his leave now, see you next time."

"I just hope it never will be again."

"..."

Rong Ke was really speechless towards this rebellious prostitute. She really didn't know how such a rotten temperament became a well-known celebrity in the capital.

——Forget it, probably because of that face, not many people would really care about his personality.In the final analysis, they are just a group of ordinary people who don't know what is truly beautiful.

Of course, even though he said this, Rong Ke knew in his heart that he was also one of the people who "compromised" (bushi) to Qingxue.

The moment they passed by, Rong Ke couldn't help but want to see the person he was thinking of.However, fate seems to have gone astray at this moment, at least there is no such thing as a clear understanding, his admirer just stands with lowered eyebrows, with a gentle and demure appearance, like a swan quietly waiting for the verdict .

and many more……

sentencing?

Yes, this appearance clearly declared tomorrow that he was about to be reprimanded by this arrogant and arrogant Pingsheng.

Rong Ke frowned slightly, why did he feel that this scene was somewhat similar.

In the harem of his late father and brother, such a scene happened more than once.

——I must have thought too much, Qingxue is not one of those people in the harem who try to gain positions.He is so out of this world...

After all, she was still worried about his comfort. Although Rong Ke felt subconsciously disgusted with Qingxue's actions, she still couldn't help but stop at the door after leaving.If there is really something wrong with Pingsheng, he will definitely rush out to protect Qingxue Zhouquan, and make these three-faced young lady look good!

however……

"Asheng, you, you and Mr. Rong..."

"I have nothing to do with that Mr. Rong, you can rest assured."

"...Why did Ah Sheng say that? Qingxue, I don't understand what you mean."

"Oh? Really don't understand? Qingxue, Qingxue, are you saying I'm blind or a fool? Look at the debris on the ground, what do you think?"

"I... yes, I am indeed Mr. Xin Murong. You have already been protected by Mr. Chu Chuliang, and you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Thinking about it, the promise between you and me at the beginning will also be invalidated! In this way, is it still true? Won't you let me find another way?"

"Ha!" Pingsheng chuckled with deep sarcasm, "Your words are interesting. I have no worries about food and clothing, so the promise between you and me will not count? What are you implying in these words?... Where did your face come from? You shamelessly yelled in such a victim-like tone in front of me! Are you Qingxue! A lonely ghost who came from nowhere and took my body, Axue, thanks to you, you can feel at ease enjoy it all!"

"You!" Qingxue's voice seemed to be greatly touched and shocked.

Rong Ke outside the door was even more so, but what shocked him even more was that Qingxue didn't immediately deny it!This gave him an ominous premonition.

Pingsheng's questioning in the room continued, and the soft but dangerous tone penetrated into his ears like this.

"...I don't know who you are, but I know, you must not be Axue, do you know why? Maybe you have Axue's memory, but unfortunately you don't know, Axue is introverted and shy. In order to protect him, we I decided to let him be my servant, and I want to live in peace and contentment until I can redeem the two of us together. Therefore, he will never feel like you that I am bullying myself with the same status. Even this Promise, in fact, I never said it, it's just a tacit understanding between me and Ashe."

"Don't deny it. In order to achieve this goal, Axue even deliberately didn't study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How could she be able to make that kind of world-renowned masterpiece like you? Go ask everyone in this building. People, who doesn't know that Ah Xue's knowledge is only up to the level of literacy? In fact, even if there is no such evidence, I have always had such doubts."

"Oh, have you always had such doubts? I really don't know what you're talking about." Qingxue sneered and said sternly.

"...You appeared before Yaji." Pingsheng said coldly.

Qingxue was silent.

Rong Ke couldn't help tightening his heart. Of course, Pingsheng couldn't be talking nonsense, otherwise Qingxue could completely deny it. So, these evidences and that question are all reasonable? !

I only heard Qingxue's voice inside, which was icy cold:

"So, I'm not Qingxue himself, so what can you do?! Do you want to invite some mages and Taoists to drive me, this evil ghost, out of this body? If I'm really a lonely ghost, you're so direct Make it clear to me, aren't you afraid that I will throw you into the ghost hell?"

"Hehe! Don't worry, I won't do anything to you... I'm just tired of the days of temptation, I just hope that I can return to the bridge with you, and we will never owe you anything." Hearing the sound of paper rubbing in the room, Rong Ke looked and saw him put a piece of paper on the table, "This is your contract of sale."
