Chapter 41: Fight
"Oh no! How could he get away? I haven't finished writing it yet! This is a holy article that will last for thousands of years! How can I give up halfway!"
"This bastard! This bastard!"
"And you, if this article is abandoned from now on, you will all be sinners!"
When he came to his senses, Li Dongyang had already lost his composure and was cursing in anger.
He was still not satisfied after that, so he pointed at the students in Bailu Academy and cursed them.
The students looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is this still the elegant and steady Mr. Dongyang?
The rest of the onlookers were also shocked.
An immortal article of holy doctrine?
Just these few lines of incomprehensible text?
They didn't believe it in their hearts, but the person who said it was the great scholar Li Dongyang from Nanzhou, so they had to believe it.
Such a world-famous scholar would not speak nonsense, right?
Therefore, regardless of whether they believed it or not, everyone rushed to see it.
It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, or understand it or not. What’s important is to write down the article first.
How could the words that could make a great scholar lose his composure like this be ordinary?
To put it bluntly, every word is priceless!
Not to mention being able to copy it, as long as I remember a word or a sentence, countless writers will definitely fight over it when I take it out.
Zhu Yuanhao came back to his senses and said quickly, "You two gentlemen, there is no need to be like this. Since we know that Jiang Zhou is from the Sujing Division, we can find him later."
Li Dongyang came to his senses and sighed with disappointment: "I never thought that there are so many hidden talents in the Sujing Division."
Dai Yougong also said: "I really don't understand. With his talent and knowledge, why would he go to the Sujing Department? He should go to Bailu Academy and join the Ceremonial Department!"
A student nearby carefully reminded them, "Gentlemen, the demon patroller just said that these masterpieces were all created by his senior brothers..."
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Li Dongyang asked: "Do you believe it?"
Dai Yougong smiled and said, "Do you believe it?"
"Hahaha."
They both laughed at the same time.
"well……"
Li Dongyang suddenly sighed, revealing a bit of fatigue, and said, "I am tired, Mr. Chen, please send some people to carry the things that Jiang Zhou gave me back to my house."
He pointed at the poem on the pillar and the jade screen and said, "Well, since the poem is written on the pillar, let's have someone copy it first and take the jade screen away first. I will compensate Mr. Chen according to the price."
Dai Yougong had a smile on his face just now, but now he looked as if he had been stabbed in the back, with an expression of disbelief.
Seeing Li Dongyang stroking the jade screen with a smile, he glared at her: "Li Dongyang! You have no shame!"
"Forget about this poem. Jiang Xiaoyou did say he gave it to you, but when did this jade screen ever become yours?"
"I don't care! You've already got a poem, which is enough for you to show off. It's a good deal for you! But you can't take all the benefits for yourself!"
As he spoke, he had already embraced a folding screen with both hands: "This jade screen belongs to me now!"
Li Dongyang was startled, but immediately glared back without showing any weakness: "Dai, old bastard! How dare you steal someone's love!"
“This is what I love too!”
Dai Jiugong refused to give in and glared at him.
"you!"
"What's wrong with this old man!"
Two old men stood in front of the jade screen, each holding one side and glaring at each other.
Li Dongyang's long beard moved without wind.
Dai Yougong's sleeves fluttered.
In the Yanbo Tower, a gentle warm breeze suddenly blew up from the ground.
The air seemed to be frozen, and everyone felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their heads.
Everyone was silent and unable to move.
Li Dongyang gnashed his teeth and said, "Old man, do you really want to compete with me?"
Dai Yougong refused to give in: "Old man, this is not yours, why are you fighting for it?"
An old worm is an old spider.
Decades ago, when Li Dongyang was still a boy, he and the then Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, one in the south and the other in the north, were both known as child prodigies.
They studied together at the Jixia Academy.
Because of their reputation as child prodigies, the late emperor summoned them to attend a banquet in the Golden Palace.
At that time, the emperor granted an audience to the two men at a banquet. Intent on testing them , he pointed to a plate of crabs and said, "Crabs are covered in armor."
But within a moment, both of them responded.
Gongsun Hong replied: "The phoenix is covered with writings."
Li Dongyang replied: "Spiders are full of knowledge."
The emperor asked the two of them to compose poems based on what they had said to liven up the banquet at the Golden Palace.
Thus, there came into being the "Daya Fu" and "Xinjian Fu", which are famous throughout the world and will shine through the ages.
This made Emperor Qi burst into laughter, and he said to the ministers at the banquet: "If the literary talent of my great Ji is only one stone, these two children will be able to add another stone."
Since then, the names of Phoenix Seed and Spider Seed have spread throughout the world.
"蟢子" is the nickname given to spiders by the people of Wu.
Given Li Dongyang's current status, only his close friends would tease him like this.
The two of them were arguing with each other, leaving the people watching stunned.
Both of them are great scholars in Nanzhou and famous figures of the time.
He even looks like a common person, haggling over every penny.
"that……"
A cautious voice sounded.
It was Mr. Chen, who was sweating profusely under the pressure from the two great scholars.
But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Gentlemen, this... this jade screen belongs to our shop..."
"Um?"
Four pairs of eyes swept towards him at the same time.
This made Mr. Chen sweat profusely.
A student on the side shouted: "How dare you! You are just a businessman, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of two gentlemen?"
Chen Yuanwai bent over, his face covered with sweat, but he still muttered in a low voice: "This is really the property of the shop..."
Li Dongyang and Dai Yougong looked at each other and put away their suffocating breath.
Li Dongyang stroked his long beard and said, "Well, that's all."
"The ownership of this item has not yet been determined. Although this jade screen belongs to you, Mr. Chen, the article on it cannot be generalized ."
"Young friend Jiang left in a hurry. I will find him later and tell you that this item is a gift to me. I will take it away. For now, let Mr. Chen keep it temporarily ."
Mr. Chen said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Chen will definitely not let this thing be damaged in the slightest."
But in my heart I was secretly furious, and turned back to find the demon patrol guard, "I'm going to throw silver and gold at him!"
I don’t believe I can’t knock him out!
Dai Yougong sneered and said, "Hehe, I want to see how an old insect like you will embarrass yourself."
"snort!"
"I am tired and have to travel tomorrow. Goodbye!"
Li Dongyang flicked his sleeves and went downstairs.
"Hey, I'm leaving too."
Dai Yougong sneered and walked down the stairs at the other end.
With the departure of the two great scholars and the loss of the protagonist, the play naturally came to an end.
But the waves of discussion and exclamation from the crowd had just begun.
They crowded forward to see the poem and the article.
Mr. Chen quickly called all his employees and urgently recruited many people from other businesses and shops he owned.
The situation was barely maintained and no one was able to take advantage of the chaos to destroy the two masterpieces.
It was not until night that people gradually dispersed under the drive of Mr. Chen.
The turmoil in Yanbo Tower today has just begun.
As these people left, the waves spread rapidly and gradually turned into huge waves.
