Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 7865



7865 Chapter 7863-

“It’s a pity that the meaning of the first half is far away, while the second half is a bit rough. It seems that young master Sima is really well-versed in both literature and martial arts, and has the charm of a famous general.”

It sounded like he was complimenting Sima Zhongxiao, but if one thought deeper, one would realize that he was actually saying that Sima Zhongxiao had the mindset of a martial artist.

Although the couplet was neat, the meaning was too crude, much worse than the first half.

When everyone understood, they naturally held back their laughter. Although there was no psychological burden in laughing at Sima Zhongxiao, Sima Zhongda and Liu Ziyu were both generals. If they laughed at Sima Zhongxiao, they would most likely think that Sima Zhongda and Liu Ziyu were laughing at him as well.

Everyone was very rational. They knew that it didn’t matter if they offended Sima Zhongxiao, but if they offended Sima Zhongda and Liu Ziyu, they would be out of their minds!

The palace maid didn’t care about the reaction of the servants and continued to say with a smile,””Young master Sima’s second half of the couplet will get seven points!”

Sima Zhongxiao immediately smiled. It didn’t matter if others laughed at him or not. The truth was that his second half was strong!

The others had only gotten six points. Only Sima Zhongxiao’s second half had gotten seven points. As long as there was no better second half, today’s victory would be his!

Lin Yi was still leaning on the side as if it didn’t concern him.

Although they were surprised by Sima Zhongxiao’s performance, it was not a big deal. There were not many couplets that were better than cannon suppressing Sea city Tower, but there were.

So Lin Yi wasn’t worried at all.

For example, the second half of the two couplets,”Deng Shen village temple bell” and “Feng Xu Ji sai Hong”, had a wonderful artistic conception, which was enough to beat “Pao Zhen hai City Tower”.

It was a pity that the five elements were not complete, and the flat mountain was different, which led to it being inferior. In the end, it could only be regarded as a good sentence on the same level as the cannon suppressing the sea city Tower.

“Sima Zhong da, your Sima clan has really produced a talent! Your cousin managed to match the second half of the couplet, aren’t you going to say something?”

Liu zizhu felt that he was in an alliance with Sima Zhongxiao, and now that he had the chance, he wanted to get back at Lin Yi and make his presence known.”You were so talented just now, why is it that you’ve run out of talent? Or do you feel that you can’t compare to your cousin in any way, so you simply don’t come out to embarrass yourself?”

“Ha … Whether our Sima clan has a lot of talents or not, we don’t need your Liu clan to judge. After all, your Liu clan has chased out the most talented and promising disciple from the clan, which has benefited our Hongshang Commandery for no reason. I really don’t know if I should thank you properly.”

Lin Yi replied with a smile. He didn’t say the name, but everyone knew that he was referring to Liu Ziyu getting kicked out of house Liu.

Judging from Liu Ziyu’s performance just now, it was not wrong to say that he was well-versed in both literature and martial arts, and he even had outstanding military achievements. He was truly a rare talent.

The Liu family was being polite by banishing this kind of Qilin child and saying that they were blind.

“As for the couplets, since brother Zhongxiao has already come up with one, there’s no need for me to step in. We’re all family, there’s no need to compete on this matter.”

Sima Zhongxiao wasn’t happy at all.

How? You mean you can treat her better than me, but I’m enough, and you don’t need to do anything?

In layman’s terms, there was no need to use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken. Am I a F * cking chicken-slaughtering knife?

“Zhong DA’s words are slightly inappropriate!”

Sima Zhongxiao suppressed his unhappiness and smiled at Lin Yi. “It’s true that you and I are both Sima clansmen, but if Zhong da can also match them, wouldn’t it add to our Sima clan’s reputation? So you don’t have to worry. If you have any suitable words, just say it!”

To be honest, Sima Zhongda didn’t really believe that Lin Yi could come up with a better second line!

Although Lin Yi had already shown his talent in couplets, he was very confident in the second half of his “cannon suppressing the sea” tower. There was no second half that was more suitable than this.

“Yes, yes! Sima Zhongda, just match one! Let us witness the might of the Sima clan’s two heroes!”

“That’s reasonable. If the Sima clan’s two heroes could both match up to this eternal absolute, that would really be a great story …”

“Sima Zhongda, you go …”

…………

There were quite a few people around, all of whom were here to watch the fun.

Some wanted to see Lin Yi make a fool of himself, some wanted to see Sima Zhongxiao make a fool of himself, and some even wanted to see the Sima clan make a fool of themselves.

In the end, he just wanted to see a joke!

“Since that’s the case, it would be impolite for me to refuse. I can only reluctantly come and match it!”

Lin Yi smiled faintly and slowly walked through the crowd. He picked up the brush and dipped it in thick ink before writing on the blank paper.

The peach blossoms on the river bank!

“There is a source to this couplet. In our Hongshang Commandery, there is a Jin River. There are countless peach trees planted on the dam of the river. Every spring, when the flowers bloom, the peach flowers are brilliant and dazzling. They are reflected in the river water and fluctuate with the river water as if they are burning.”

Lin Yi put down his pen and picked up a piece of paper.”If you look at it from a distance, you’ll see that the dam is covered in flames. It’s so pleasing to the eye that it’s hard to imagine unless you see it with your own eyes!”

Those in the crowd who didn’t have any grudges or conflicts with Lin Yi couldn’t help but be fascinated by Lin Yi’s introduction. They wanted to find a chance to take a look at the dam!

But what they didn’t know was that Lin Yi himself had never seen anything like Jinjiang, peach blossoms, or dams. He was just making things up based on his imagination!

There was indeed a Jinjiang River in Hongshang Commandery. Lin Yi had learned about this from the geographical map. He also knew that there was a dam on the Jinjiang River, but he didn’t know if there were peach trees on the dam!

The geographical map would not state what kind of trees were planted in which place!

Therefore, in the end, this was still nonsense, but everyone believed it without a doubt, including Sima Zhongxiao and Feng Zhipeng, who were originally from Hongshang Commandery.

They knew about the Jin River … But they were not sure if there was a dam on the Jin River or if there were peach trees on the dam.

And so, they thought that Lin Yi had been traveling and leading troops to war, so they didn’t dare to suspect that Lin Yi was just making things up.

“Brother Zhong Xiao, is there such a place in your Hongshang Commandery?”

Liu Zimei secretly asked Sima Zhongxiao in a low voice,””When spring comes next year, can brother Zhong Xiao accompany us for a tour?”

House Liu had already made up their minds to form an alliance with Sima Zhongxiao to deal with Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, so they naturally did something that would bring them closer.

“No problem! When the time comes, I’ll definitely bring a few of my brothers along to travel!”

Sima Zhongxiao couldn’t say that he didn’t know, so he could only agree with a smile.
