And now, when he saw many noble disciples gathered together with envy in their eyes, he felt that his plan was about to succeed.
Soon, people will forget the poems written by Li Changkong.
And remember him, Zhu Ben, the man who raised the Grasshopper King!
Especially when he saw Li Changkong approaching, the ecstasy in his heart instantly expanded.
Take a look, what if you can write poetry?
Aren’t you still looking at the face of my Grasshopper King?
"Zhu Ben, you spent a lot of money raising this grasshopper, right?"
When Zhu Ben heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It's just a small amount of money."
"I have many such grasshoppers at home!"
"If you want it, I can give you one as a gift!" As he spoke, Zhu Ben glanced at Li Changkong out of the corner of his eye. He hoped that these words would come from Li Changkong's mouth.
Saying it from other people's mouths makes less sense after all.
When the man just heard this, he suddenly became happy and said: "Then why is it so embarrassing? Then I will be disrespectful."
Zhu Ben: "???"
Do you want to listen to what you are saying? The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he had never thought that there were such shameless people in the world.
However, in order to maintain face, he still just nodded and said generously: "Easy to say, easy to say."
"It's just a grasshopper. To me, it's not a big deal."
That’s what I say, but it’s not up to you to decide what kind of grasshopper to give?
Even if you give it away a little better, these people may not be able to find it.
If they really find out, they will excuse themselves and say that they don't know how to raise the best grasshoppers, but they have developed such a sick and sick look.
Zhu Ben couldn't help but secretly nodded at his wit.
"Can...can you give me one too?" Someone else spoke, but after all, not everyone has such a thick skin, so this person seemed a bit shy.
When Zhu Ben heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said boldly: "No problem! When the time comes, you can just come to my house to pick up the grasshopper."
"I also want!"
"Give me one too!"
"This thing is quite rare, and I am somewhat interested in it."
Seeing that more and more people were speaking, Zhu Ben became even more excited. An indescribable sense of vanity surged from his chest and reached his mind, making him feel as if he were in heaven.
However, his peripheral vision was still staring at Li Changkong. After all, what Zhu Ben hoped for most was for Li Changkong to beg him.
Only in this way can he establish his position as the leader among the distinguished disciples!
After waiting for a long time, Li Changkong opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Zhu Ben was so excited that he immediately pricked up his ears to listen, for fear of missing a word.
Unexpectedly, what Li Changkong said was not to beg the grasshopper, but: "What kind of skill is fighting the grasshopper?"
Hearing these slightly sarcastic words, Zhu Ben felt a little angry at the time.
But there were too many people at the scene, so I couldn't be too rude, so I asked: "Then what is the skill to fight?"
Li Changkong curled his lips, pointed to the hornet's nest outside the teaching building, and said, "Of course it's a hornet!"
"Even if your grasshopper can fight, can it fly? Can it sting people?"
"If we can raise a wasp and bring it to the Dou Fang, we can win not only fifteen games in a row, but even a hundred in a row."
When Zhu Ben heard this, his anger dissipated a little.
Because he felt that what Li Changkong said actually made some sense.
They are also insects. No matter how powerful the grasshopper is, it cannot fly or sting!
If I could really raise a wasp, which grasshopper could defeat this flying man?
By then, wouldn’t he be in an invincible position in that Dou Fang?
only...
He looked at the hornet's nest and couldn't help but swallow.
It is said that the sting of a wasp is very painful.
"Are you... afraid?" At this moment, Li Changkong's suspicious voice came from beside him.
"If you're scared, just say it. It's no big deal. After all, it's a wasp, so there's no shame in it." Li Changkong continued to comfort him.
However, this sound of relief sounded particularly harsh to Zhu Ben's ears.
He felt that the eyes around him had changed after Li Changkong said these words!
It no longer contains envy, but instead has a hint of "you are just like that" in it.
"How can this not make sense! How can this not make sense!" Zhu Ben was so angry that he blushed and said, "How could I be afraid? How could I be afraid?"
"Don't think that everyone is like you. The son of the majestic Marquis Wuling is even afraid of wasps."
When Li Changkong heard this, he seemed to be a little angry, and couldn't help but said: "That's a wasp, people are naturally afraid of it."
"If you are not afraid, just go catch it and keep it in a bamboo tube, and I will... I will consider you powerful!"
As soon as the words "you are awesome" came out, Zhu Ben seemed to be greatly inspired.
He immediately became arrogant and strode out of the teaching building. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Today, I will show you what a real man is!"
“I can only write a few poems, but that’s not really my skill!”
Seeing Zhu Ben walking away as if he had been given chicken soup, Li Changkong also felt a little emotional.
Probably in the eyes of the noble disciples, the words "you are awesome" are a huge compliment.
This is especially true when these words are spoken from the mouth of your mortal enemy. There is nothing more powerful than an imperial edict.
Zhu Ben went straight to the hornet's nest. When he spoke just now, he was full of enthusiasm and joyful without fear.
But then, when I walked to the wasp nest, I looked at the extremely sharp stings on the tails of each wasp, but I felt a little uneasy.
In short, he was scared.
He couldn't help but turn around and look back, only to see all the noble disciples looking at him eagerly.
In those eyes, there was hope, expectation, and even a little admiration.
There was also the faint smile at the corner of Li Changkong's mouth, which looked unspeakably sarcastic.
If I really retreat, wouldn't everything I did today be in vain?
Wouldn’t it just fulfill Li Changkong’s wish?
No, absolutely not!
For Zhu Ben, if those admiring glances turn into contempt, it would be something more uncomfortable than death, and something bigger than the sky falling!
So, he gritted his teeth and pounced towards the hornet's nest.
Seeing this, Li Changkong was already prepared. He took out the sack clothes and put them on in an orderly manner.
Zhang Han and Jia Taisui on the side looked at him dumbfounded, always feeling that this man had a premeditated plan to trick Zhu Ben into poking a hornet's nest.
Now that I have even taken out my sack clothes, I am really... well prepared!
…
Hu Yan felt very uncomfortable now. He didn't know if it was because today's lunch was not very clean. After eating, he felt like he was in an extremely uncomfortable state.
After enduring for a long time, I finally found a toilet. I squatted down and halfway through venting, I heard a harsh buzzing sound.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised, why does this sound sound so much like a wasp?
