Chapter 55 Tit for tat

 In the sixth round, when it came to Qin Yi, he did not need to think and recited very quickly, "When people are idle, the osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and the spring mountains are empty."

Qin Yi stopped reading love poems to Xuan Lingyao, and with Meng Wenlun's persuasion, Shi Xinji's anger lessened, and only then did he realize that Qin Yi had actually entered the sixth round!

What's even more surprising is that even he needs some time to think, but Qin Yi answered so quickly. Is this guy's memory really that strong?

No, we must not lose to him!

If he loses, not only will he be embarrassed in front of Xuan Lingyao, but he will also lose the face of many scribes.

After all, this is a gathering of scribes, and Qin Yi, a strategist, is having a great time. It would be really embarrassing if he told anyone about it!

Immediately, he read out a poem quickly.

It was the next scribe's turn. He frowned and didn't answer for a long time.

After a while, Meng Wenlun said softly, "The time is up."

If the person fails to answer within the time limit, the person will be eliminated.

It was the next one's turn, and the scribe was full of anxiety. Seeing that the previous one had been eliminated over time, he didn't dare to delay. He thought hard for a while and quickly read out a poem.

Meng Wenlun pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "There is no such poem."

The scribe was stunned for a moment, then said with a sad face, "I made a mistake, this is the poem I wrote the day before yesterday!"

The rule of Feihua Order in this world is that the poems used must be famous, and poems written by scribes in the field cannot be used.

Therefore, the result of this person is obvious and he is eliminated.

When another scribe arrived, he frowned for a long time, then shook his head, "I admit defeat."

Many scribes looked bitter after hearing this.

In the sixth round, three of the five people were eliminated, and only two were left, including a strategist... This face is really embarrassing!

Alas!

Everyone sighed and looked at Shi Xinji closely.

Next, if you want to regain your reputation as a scribe, you can only rely on Shi Xinji.

If we lose again... No, Shi Xinji will never lose!

Better than Bowen in remembering, Shi Xinji is far better than Hou Linghua.

Qin Yi can be better than Hou Linghua in composing poems, but he may not be better than Shi Xinji in memorizing extensive knowledge.

Still without pausing, Qin Yi read out a poem quickly.

Shi Xinji did not hesitate to make more concessions and also chanted quickly.

The seventh round, the eighth round, the ninth round...

The two of them kept chanting at extremely fast speeds, and they reached the eighteenth round in no time.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect to see such a scene.

Shi Xinji is indeed powerful, and he is worthy of being an erudite and talented man, but why is Qin Yi so powerful?

What's more important is that he didn't even need to think and never paused in his answer, much faster than Shi Xinji.

At the end, Shi Xinji began to struggle. Not only did he need to remember, but he also had to think about whether there were repetitions, and his speed involuntarily slowed down.

But in order not to lose to Qin Yi, he could only grit his teeth and think hard, his brain working rapidly, and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Meng Wenlun on the side frowned secretly. He didn't expect that Qin Yi was just a strategist, but he could be so talented.

In the field, Xuan Lingyao was the only one with a pretty face and a smile, not surprised.

Although I have never seen Qin Yi display his literary talent, I heard Mu Yuhao talk about it, so I have full confidence in him.

Gradually, Shi Xinji's speed became slower and slower, and he had to pause and think hard every time.

At this time, the Feihua Order has reached its twenty-fifth round. In each round, Qin Yi answered quickly, while Shi Xinji thought for a long time.

This situation made everyone feel unbelievable and their throats were extremely bitter.

They are also worried. If this continues, Shi Xinji is likely to lose!

After struggling to hold on until the thirtieth round, Shi Xinji's face began to turn red.

He is almost at his limit!

He almost ran out of time in the last round and only came up with the corresponding poem at the last minute.

But Qin Yi's speed did not slow down at all, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

You can't compare to a strategist?

Regardless of what Xuan Lingyao would think, even he himself could not accept this result, so his face was gloomy, his teeth were clenched, and he was thinking hard.

But in the thirtieth round, more than half of the time had passed, and he still couldn't come up with a poem with flowery characters.

He vaguely realized that he had finished reading all the poems with flowery characters that he could remember in his mind...

Thinking of this, his heart began to sink.

On the side, Meng Wenlun, who looked arrogant, stared at Shi Xinji with a slightly tight face, and opened his thin lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Although he is not the one who is competing, if even the famous Shi Xinji loses to a strategist, then as a scribe, he will be disgraced.

Therefore, I absolutely do not want to see this scene.

But the rules are the rules, don’t remind them, otherwise it will be considered as admitting defeat.

Seeing Shi Xinji's face turning red, many young men in brocade could not help but hold their breath, fearing that their breathing would be too loud and affect Shi Xinji's thoughts.

But no matter how they opened their eyes and looked forward to it, Shi Xinji still didn't speak for a long time.

Everyone's faces gradually darkened.

Looking at this scene, Xuan Lingyao raised her red lips and looked happy.

Qin Yi can make so many people who look down on strategists feel so embarrassed. As a strategist, how can she not be happy?

As time passed, everyone felt their mouths became more and more bitter, as if they had drank a cup of strong tea overnight, and their eyes were filled with helplessness and a hint of sadness.

Tick ​​tock!

In this quiet environment, beads of sweat on Shi Xinji's forehead dripped to the ground, making a clearly audible sound.

He shook his head bitterly, his face full of frustration.

I really can’t think of anything.

With a sullen face, Meng Wenlun could only accept this fact and said in a deep voice, "The time is up."

Everyone sighed softly, their heads hanging down.

Among the scribes in the room, except for Meng Wenlun, who had no end, no one could compare with Qin Yi. If this matter were told, it would definitely make the scribes all over the world laugh out loud.

Everyone present will also be laughed at by others!

Shao Guangyuan smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say about this scene.

Qin Yi once again showed his unparalleled talent, and he deserves congratulations. However, as a scribe, no matter how this competition is calculated, he cannot be in the same camp as Qin Yi. He can only sigh secretly that everyone should not despise Qin Yi, so that

Asking for trouble.

Shi Xinji lowered his head, not daring to look at Xuan Lingyao.

I didn’t dare to go see Meng Wenlun either.

He lost.

He failed to uphold the reputation of many scribes and wasted his title of learned and talented man.

Meng Wenlun narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Yi. Although Qin Yi's face was plain at this time and there was no proud look, in Meng Wenlun's view, Qin Yi's face was a bit disgusting.

If it weren't for this person, this reception feast wouldn't be so decadent.

Since this guy has challenged the scribes present, as one of them, he must win back his face.

Fight for face for yourself, for Shi Xinji, and for many scribes!

So, he said loudly, "I admire you for your knowledge and your ability to remember, but for the sake of your future, I have to give you a few words of advice. Just relying on rote memorization without knowing how to turn it into your own use is really a trivial thing!"

After everyone heard this, they secretly cheered up.

And Meng Wenlun!

As a literary star in the world and a famous figure in the capital, as long as he sits here and as long as Qin Yi cannot defeat him, then this banquet will not be considered a failure.

The scribes present could also retain their face.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am very grateful. It's just that you don't know the reason, so you think that I don't know how to use it for your own use, which is biased."

Since he has offended many scribes, Qin Yi doesn’t mind having one more.
Chapter completed!
