Chapter 240: Perilla's Secret
Chapter 240 The Secret of Perilla
Seeing Baili Huaijin standing on the stage, Ruan Youqing stopped looking at him, but continued to look for her last candidate.
It stands to reason that if the fish is hooked, she should relax.
But the last candidate made her a little bit difficult.
The rest of the people, she doesn't know the depth of each other. Therefore, if the opponent kept his secrets, he might have won against Baili Huaijin.
However...she mentioned to Zisu in advance that if a dark horse really broke out halfway, it might not be a bad thing for Baili Huaijin to come second.
Because Zisu has already explained just now, the top three will all have surprise gifts. Therefore, being able to get the first place with her all night is just a cover.
Her real motivation is just to give the first "big gift" and at the same time lead the top three to feel the power of this "big gift".
Regardless of whether Baili Huaijin is interested in him or not, as long as he can relax his vigilance and participate, the matter will be considered a success.
Everything else is just an excuse to make Baili Huaijin relax his vigilance.
Just because... the ability possessed by Zisu is a special ability that is rarely known by the world.
Be able to get people to tell the truth without using anything.
However, the premise is that you must hold hands with the opponent and face each other.
Zisu's family was destroyed because of this ability. If she hadn't been rescued by Ruan Youqing, she might have disappeared forever in this world.
When Zisu's family still existed, not many people knew their secrets. It has disappeared for nearly two decades, and there are almost no people who know this secret.
At this time, in order to help Ruan Youqing find out the truth, she did not hesitate to push herself to the forefront again.
Therefore, when Ruan Youqing knew that she was going to use this ability, it was inevitable that she would be angry.
Fortunately, in order not to worry Ruan Youqing, Zisu promised to use this ability on an item. It makes people think that what she does depends on something.
And this thing is given to the first place as a reward... It seems that it still has some weight.
The reason why they took so much trouble to step into this situation is first of all because they couldn't find conclusive evidence to prove who sent the dead men to assassinate Gu Changan and Ruan Youqing. The second is because of the evil things he has done in public, exposing his true face under the disguise. This is actually a more torturous thing for them than killing them.
Struggling to lure Baili Huaijin to come out step by step, they dare not neglect half a step.
Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing deliberated and pointed to a man sitting beside the table who was drinking silently.
Because, the people around him were all standing excitedly.
Only he sat and drank by himself like a misfit.
When the man felt that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help being taken aback, and slowly raised his head.
Looking up, Ruan Youqing was also stunned.
The person her elder sister tried so hard to find, she didn't know how long she had been drinking there alone.
This person is naturally Qiu Si.
Perhaps he dressed up deliberately and simply. Although he could be recognized by his appearance, his cold nobility at the beginning was deliberately suppressed by him.
After seeing his face clearly, Ruan Youqing subconsciously reached out and pressed Ruan Youning beside him. I'm afraid that she will rush over at a brisk pace and say something vague about how hard it is to find him.
After all, they are now dressed as men...
She doesn't want to attract more attention from others.
Fortunately, after Ruan Youning at the side saw that the person she had been looking for for a long time had been drinking in a corner with her head bowed, she just pursed her lips, then lowered her eyes and did not speak.
Only Ruan Youqing could feel that Ruan Youning's body was trembling slightly at this moment.
It wasn't just Ruan Youqing who was surprised by Qiu Si's sudden appearance.
On the other side, there was another person who opened his eyes in shock and opened his mouth slightly.
This person is Wei Chijing, the ever-victorious general of Canglong Kingdom.
It's just that he didn't move after the shock, but lowered his eyes to cover up the surprise in his eyes.
Qiu Si agreed after knowing that he had also been selected to participate in this kind of poetry conference, frowning slightly.
Seeing his back on the stage, Ruan Youqing, who thought he would refuse, jumped off the stool, leaned into Ruan Youning's ear and said in a low voice: "I see that he always looks cool on weekdays. Things will refuse."
Ruan Youning was sitting very upright at this time, and after hearing Ruan Youqing's question, she turned her body slightly and replied solemnly: "Qiu Si is not an ordinary person, this kind of thing that can be compared with talented people, He has no reason to refuse."
Hearing sister's praise, Ruan Youqing curled her lips and said nothing.
A woman who is dazzled by love, don't think about having a serious discussion with her about the person she likes.
After Qiu Bang took the stage, Zisu didn't waste any more time and started directly.
The first link is poetry solitaire, and the order of solitaire is obtained by drawing lots.
Because the poems that have been said can no longer be used, the lower the ranking, the greater the crisis.
Unexpectedly, the third prince Li Si that Ruan Youqing had just selected, Baili Huaijin, the crown prince of Nanting, and Qiu Si, who was randomly selected in the end, were all ranked behind.
Therefore, the idea that Ruan Youqing was found by Zisu was completely dispelled.
After all, if you want to operate in the dark, it must be as safe and simple as possible.
At the start of the competition, the first person who spoke was a man with the appearance of a scholar. He held a fan in one hand, and took a step forward in a serious manner before he spoke: "There is nowhere to find the spring of eternal regret. I don't know where to turn." Come."
At the beginning, it was not easy. The scholar seemed to really want to win.
The second one is a middle-aged man who seems to be in high spirits. He touched his stubble-covered chin and said without hesitation: "The guest is stepping on the clear stream, singing and accompanying the jade flute."
The word flute stunned the third person. After a long delay, he couldn't think of the poem that started with the word flute.
Of course, he didn't catch it, regretfully retreated and left the stage.
Fortunately, the time for this meeting is not too short, and the fourth one has already come up with an ancient poem that begins with the word flute.
After that, the few people went smoothly, and no one stopped.
Until Qiu Si, what was left for him was the word "Xiang".
After hearing this, Qiu Si blurted out without even thinking: "Xiang Wan felt unwell, so I drove to Guyuan."
Behind him is Baili Huaijin, and Baili Huaijin also blurted out without any inferiority: "The original low curtain is close to the pillow, let me talk about it in detail, every night in Jiangxiang, I think about it even after the cold."
Poetry conference, of course, not only refers to poetry. The words are naturally in line with the regulations.
Li Si, who was behind him, was stunned for a moment, but soon he said, "Recalling plums going down to Xizhou, folding plums and sending them to Jiangbei."
This round is over.
Until the second round and the third round have a total of three withdrawals, the first link is not over.
Baili Huaijin, Qiu Si, and Li Si naturally made it to the second level smoothly.
The second level is "Beating Drums and Passing Flowers to Compose Poems".
Zisu smiled and said the rules again, and then joked: "This level requires more than talent. Because, if you are lucky, you may directly enter the next level. By the way, let me add the rules. The remaining nine In this round, three people must quit in order to enter the next level.”
After saying that, Zisu covered her eyes with the dark black opaque long cloth prepared in advance, and then danced with her long sleeves, accompanied by musicians beside her.
