Liu Linxi originally thought that there would be more to say about this matter, but since Li Yan gave him the ointment that day, he never took the initiative to mention it.In the past few days, Li Yan often went to Jiyueju for dinner, and occasionally watched Liu Linxi go fishing, but during that time, he just chatted a few words, without any other hints or explicit instructions.

A few days later, Taixue held a poetry meeting, and Li Yan was going to reward the outstanding students as usual.

Liu Linxi didn't expect that Li Yan would drag her to join in the fun, even if she wanted to refuse.

"I'm a warrior, I can't write well, and I don't know poetry..." Liu Linxi said.

"Let's go over during the dinner, so we don't need to listen to them recite poems." Li Yan said.

Liu Linxi thought, I don't want to go if I don't recite poems!

Not ordinary people gather at this poetry meeting, not to mention Cheng Yuan, who has always been at odds with Li Yan, Lin Xiaohou, who has stood in front of Li Yan's bedroom for a whole day a few days ago, is also among them. Meaning, all the talents who went to the gate of Liu's mansion to kiss in front of them that day, nine out of ten will go to the poetry meeting.

Liu Linxi didn't want to show off the limelight, so as not to cause complications.

"Students from suburban schools will also participate. What's your brother's name?" Li Yan asked casually.

"Liu Xiangwan." Liu Linxi said hurriedly.

"He should be going too. You two brothers have not seen each other for some time, right?" Li Yan asked.

"Yes, the last time we met was when I was reporting on work last year." Liu Linxi said.

After being reminded by Li Yan, Liu Linxi remembered Liu Xiangwan's matter. Li Yan had taken the initiative to mention to him that if Liu Xiangwan performed well in the poetry meeting, he could go directly to Taixue to study.

Since Liu Xiangwan also participated in the poetry meeting, it's okay for Liu Linxi to go and have a look.

After all, he had never met the younger brother of the original owner, so he was quite curious.

In the evening, Liu Linxi followed Li Yan to Taixue.He originally thought that since there was a poetry meeting here, it should be quite lively, but when he arrived at Taixue, he found that there were not even a few lanterns hanging at the door, and there were no extra decorations in the yard. It doesn't look like a big event is going on.

"The gentlemen here are all old and very rigid." Li Yan whispered to Liu Linxi: "Compared with them, Taifu is not so annoying."

Liu Linxi glanced at him sideways, thinking that it's so natural for you to complain about your husband in this kind of place?

Li Yan went straight to the banquet chair and sat down, and Liu Linxi sat at the first place on his left.The Grand Banquet court emphasizes martial arts, the status of warriors in the court has always been respected, and Liu Linxi's status is very special, so no one thinks it is inappropriate to sit in the first place.

After Liu Linxi entered the originally quiet banquet, there were whispers.

"General Liu is really here?"

"Is this really him? It doesn't look like a general at all."

"Didn't you look at that painting? It's exactly the same!"

Everyone said something to each other, as if they regarded Liu Linxi as a scenic spot at the banquet.Liu Linxi looked around, and glanced at Cheng Yuan who was sitting not far away. Cheng Yuan looked at him eagerly. Liu Linxi pretended not to see him and turned his eyes away. Do not give up?

Liu Linxi set his eyes on the few young students sitting at the end of the table, and saw that one of them had delicate features and exquisite facial features, but he looked somewhat similar to himself.He secretly thought that this should be Liu Xiangwan, and it doesn't look like a fool.

On the way, he heard from Su Heng that the top three selected at the Taixue Poetry Conference would have the chance to ask Li Yan for a reward.According to the old practice of previous years, there are people who are looking for calligraphy and painting, some are looking for unique copies, and some are looking for famous inkstones. If there are people from schools in the suburbs of Beijing, most of them will ask for the opportunity to study in Taixue.

In other words, if Liu Xiangwan won the top three, it would be a matter of course for him to enter the Taixue.

During the dinner, Li Yan exchanged some pleasantries, and then went straight to the topic.

It can be seen that he doesn't have much interest in these things, and he doesn't even bother to ask for details.

"Your Majesty, the theme of today's poetry meeting is 'Autumn'. Our students can play according to the topic. They can compose poems and poems, or splash ink, as long as they don't digress." Master Zhou of Taixue said to Li Yan: " Today's first three students were selected by the ministers and the gentlemen of the Taixue, and all students can also participate in the recommendation and argumentation..."

Master Zhou talked for a long time, Li Yan listened patiently, and asked, "Which three students are they?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's Cheng Yuan, Huo Ting, and Liu Xiangwan from the Beijing Suburb School." Master Zhou said.

Liu Linxi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he thought that this younger brother can do it!

To be able to get a place among the top three, it seems that today's admission to the Imperial Academy is settled.

After Master Zhou finished speaking, the three of them came forward to salute Li Yan, and some students came forward with their poems and paintings to Li Yan.Li Yan looked at the two poems and essays, and there was nothing unusual, but after seeing the drawing clearly, his complexion immediately turned cold.Although Liu Linxi was very close to Li Yan, she couldn't see the drawing while sitting on her seat, so she was very curious immediately, thinking what kind of thing was it painted, that it could make Li Yan unhappy?

"These two poems were written by Huo Ting and Liu Xiangwan, and the sketches were written by Cheng Yuan." Master Zhou said to Li Yan.

Hearing this, Li Yan waved his hand and asked people to take away the poems and drawings, with an unpredictable look on his face.

"Tell me, what prize do you all want?" Li Yan asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Cheng Yuan has nothing else to ask, but to ask the person in the painting to inscribe a word on this painting." Cheng Yuan was the first to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Liu Linxi in unison. Liu Linxi frowned, realizing that things were not simple.Is Cheng Yuan the one who painted him?Liu Linxi secretly thought that something was wrong, and thought to himself that it was really not a good thing, and he knew that he should not come to this place of right and wrong.

"If you didn't ask me for this lottery, then I have nothing to do with whether you give it or not." Li Yan winked at Su Heng, and Su Heng gave the drawing to Liu Linxi. Liu Linxi took a look, and it was indeed a painting It's me.

To be precise, the painting should be the original owner.

In the desert sand field, the sunset is like blood, and Liu Linxi in the painting is like a bloody phoenix, which is very amazing.

"General Liu, please give me your words." Cheng Yuan cupped his hands towards Liu Linxi, his eyes were undisguisedly hot.

Liu Linxi took a breath, subconsciously looked at Li Yan, and saw Li Yan looking at him with hesitation.

"This... as we all know, this general is illiterate." Liu Linxi stood up and bowed to Cheng Yuan, with a sorry expression on his face.

Cheng Yuan said: "General Liu, why is he joking like this? Cheng Yuan's request is only a few words."

Cheng Yuan held the pen in both hands and stood in front of Liu Linxi bowed, with an attitude of not giving up until he reached his goal.

Unknowingly, he feels that he has a deep affection for Liu Linxi, but after careful thought, he can understand that Cheng Yuan's behavior is more like deliberately looking for Li Yan's displeasure, after all, Liu Linxi is Li Yan's person in name.

Liu Linxi looked helpless, he used so many tricks several times, but he just wanted Cheng Yuan to give up as soon as possible, so as not to burn him.But this Cheng Yuan seemed determined to fight against him, Liu Linxi had to wonder, could this be the sequelae after the setting of the original book was changed by himself?

In the original book, Cheng Yuan and Li Yan became rivals in the end, but the reason must have nothing to do with Liu Linxi, who was assassinated earlier.But because the current Liu Linxi forcibly survived and ruined the plot, so the "hand of God" forcibly turned the conflict between Cheng Yuan and Li Yan into him?

"Okay, let's get the pen." Liu Linxi took the pen, wrote a line of words on the drawing, and then handed the drawing to Cheng Yuan.Cheng Yuan took it over and took a look, his complexion changed several times, and finally he put away the drawing and bowed to Liu Linxi.

"What did you write?"

"Why doesn't Mr. Cheng look happy?"

"Probably because you think General Liu's calligraphy is ugly?"

Everyone was obviously curious about what Liu Linxi wrote, but Cheng Yuan put away the drawing and didn't intend to show it to others. In addition, Liu Linxi's handwriting was so ugly that the students sitting next to him didn't recognize it at a glance, so What he wrote has become a "mystery".

Cheng Yuan's reward asked for Liu Linxi's inscription, while Huo Ting only asked for an inkstone in a regular manner. This kind of reward would not appear obtrusive, and it was more in line with the atmosphere of the poetry club. It can be said to be just the right request.

"Liu... General Liu's younger brother." Li Yan looked at Liu Xiangwan, seemingly not remembering his name, and asked, "What do you want?"

Liu Xiangwan saluted Li Yan respectfully, and said, "Xiangwan didn't ask for anything. I am very happy to see my brother at the poetry meeting today. If I can get His Majesty's love, Xiangwan wants to be with my brother tonight." Taste wine and admire the moon, and say goodbye together."

Liu Linxi was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought to himself, don't you ask for the opportunity to study at the Taixue, and ask me to enjoy the moon and drink?

But he thought about it again, Liu Xiangwan's request resolved the embarrassment of Cheng Yuan's previous request.Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere of the banquet eased a lot. Everyone began to discuss the relationship between Liu Xiangwan and Liu Linxi, and even Li Yan's face softened a lot.

Liu Linxi couldn't help thinking to himself, it seems that this younger brother has a good emotional intelligence.

"I have agreed on behalf of General Liu. You can stay in the palace on the fifteenth day of this month. Jiyue Residence is built near the water, and the moonlight is very good." Li Yan said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will reward you with a pot of good wine. Celebrate the reunion of your brothers."

Hearing this, Liu Xiangwan thanked Li Yan for the reward, and then bowed to Liu Linxi.

Liu Linxi didn't expect much from this younger brother before, because he had an impression that the relationship between the original owner and his younger brother seemed quite ordinary.But when I saw him today, Liu Xiangwan was not only full of poems and books, but also had a high EQ, and he also respected himself quite a bit, which surprised him a bit.

Liu Linxi was very happy to meet his younger brother tonight, so he drank a few more glasses, and when he said goodbye, he was drunk and dragged Liu Xiangwan reluctantly.Seeing this, Li Yan asked Su Heng to reward Liu Xiangwan with a jade plaque so that he could enter the palace and meet Liu Linxi at any time.

"Your younger brother is interesting. I finally got such an opportunity. I don't seek fame for myself, but I want to watch the moon with you." On the way back, Li Yan said to Liu Linxi.

"Who told me, an older brother, to please my younger brother?" Liu Linxi laughed.

His eyes were drunk, his cheeks were red, and he didn't notice that Li Yan's gaze was on him all the time.

Li Yan looked at him for a while and asked, "What did you inscribe on that painting?"

Liu Linxi recalled with difficulty with his not sober head, and said, "Three words."

"What word?" Li Yan asked again.

"Guess..." Liu Linxi looked at Li Yandao with a smile on his face, his body was shaking and he was about to pass out.

Li Yan stretched out his hand to support him, Liu Linxi leaned on his shoulder, and fell asleep just like that.

After a while, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Su Heng said in a low voice outside: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng stopped in front of the carriage and said he had something to see."

Li Yan's eyes froze, he looked down at Liu Linxi who was in a drowsy sleep, and said in a low voice, "No see."

After a while, Su Heng said again in a low voice: "Young Master Cheng brought General Liu's inscription and asked if His Majesty would like to read it."

As Su Heng said, he handed the painting into the carriage. Li Yan unfolded it and saw the three words written by Liu Linxi:

[not necessary]

Li Yan: ...

Liu Linxi could do this!

"Finally, for the sake of General Liu, I will give you three more words." Li Yan stood not far from the carriage, and said to Cheng Yuan who was kneeling on one knee.

It was dark now, and there was no one on the street. Cheng Yuan knelt in the night, expressionless.

"Cheng Yuan knew early on that he wasn't His Majesty's opponent, and he didn't dare to ask for anything extravagantly from General Liu. After seeing him today, he knew that General Liu's previous words of admiration for His Majesty were not just to perfuse me... Cheng Yuan has nothing to ask for, but I beg Your Majesty to see that General Liu...has fought for His Majesty on the battlefield, and can keep him safe." Cheng Yuan said.

"Do I need you to teach me how to treat General Liu?" Li Yan said coldly.

"Cheng Yuan doesn't dare." He said: "Since General Liu believes that only His Majesty can rely on, Cheng Yuan only hopes that he will trust him with a good man. He has been a soldier for half his life, and now that he has fallen in love with His Majesty, he must be looking forward to raising the case..."

Li Yan interrupted him in a cold voice: "Cheng Yuan, if you are really doing it for his own good, you might as well avoid making me unhappy."

"Anyone who should be provoked is also provoked. I just ask Your Majesty to be magnanimous and don't argue with me, let alone blame him." Cheng Yuan knelt down on his knees and gave Li Yan a bow, then turned and walked into the night.

In the past, Li Yan probably would not have listened to Cheng Yuan's words, but today Cheng Yuan's attitude is completely different from the past, not only does not have the stubbornness of the youth, but also has a bit of compromise and pleading.

But his attitude that if he can't get it, he will be fulfilled, on the contrary, it makes Li Yan even more depressed.

"Who? The man who was kneeling just now..." Liu Linxi lay drunkenly by the window of the carriage, fully watching the scene where Cheng Yuan kowtowed to Li Yan.

Li Yan raised his eyes to look at him, saw that his eyes were a little out of focus, obviously he hadn't sobered up yet, so he said, "A person who is 'unnecessary'."

"It's Cheng Yuan... I can tell it from the back..." Liu Linxi said with his tongue out.

"General Liu is also interested in Cheng Yuan." Li Yan said.

"Don't care..." Liu Linxi stretched out his hand and patted Li Yan's chest, and said, "It doesn't matter to me what he does. In the future...you don't deal with him...don't blame me ..."

Liu Linxi was so drunk that he was a little confused, but he spoke out what was on his mind.

"So you rejected him several times and embarrass him, just to please me and let me not take my anger out on you?" Li Yan asked.

"Otherwise..." Liu Linxi tilted her head, closed her eyes and said, "I don't like you, can you... let me go..."

Li Yan's eyes froze when he heard the words, he stretched out his hand to pinch Liu Linxi's chin, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"What..." Liu Linxi tried hard to open his eyes, and smiled at Li Yan with a drunken face, his eyes were defenseless.

The two were very close, and Li Yan smelled the alcohol on his body, and suddenly remembered the "little effort" that night.At that time Liu Linxi also drank a lot of wine, but she was so scared that she was mostly sober, but her body still smelled of alcohol.As a result, when Li Yan occasionally remembered the process afterwards, there would always be a faint smell of wine in his nasal cavity.

"Liu Linxi, what you said to me, which one is true and which one is false?" Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"Every sentence... is true..." Liu Linxi said with a drunken eye.

Li Yan squeezed the hand on his chin slightly, and asked with a dangerous look in his eyes: "Is it true for the sentence that you want to be closer to me?"

A trace of bewilderment flashed across Liu Linxi's eyes, he nodded and said, "Well, it's true..."

"I'll ask you again, don't lie to me." Li Yan said.

"I didn't lie to you..." Liu Linxi reached out and pulled away Li Yan's hand that was pinching her chin, her head drooped forward, and she fell asleep again on Li Yan's shoulder.

Li Yan stretched out his hand to push him away, but felt that Liu Linxi arched his head on his shoulder, found a comfortable position, and slept in a dim light, as if he hadn't noticed the dangerous situation at all.Most of the anger in Li Yan's heart disappeared inexplicably. How could someone be so deliberate but at the same time so defenseless?

If he really wanted to do something, with Liu Linxi's vigilance, ten lives might not be enough to compensate him.
