Chapter 112 Li Tang Ding Zhen attracts customers
Han Kou's maniacal laughter froze instantly!
His face was contorted with rage, turning a deep liver color.
His eyes were bloodshot, fixed intently on Zhang Fan!
The killing intent had already solidified into a tangible form!
"What...did...you...say...?"
He squeezed out the words one by one through gritted teeth.
The white-robed scholar beside him turned pale.
A flush immediately rose to her cheeks, and she pointed at Zhang Fan, shouting sternly:
"You madman! What do you know about couplets!"
"My young master's couplet is a masterpiece, how dare you slander it!"
Faced with that murderous gaze and the deathly silence of the entire room, Zhang Fan remained unresponsive.
He stood up, dusted himself off, and a look of disdain on his lips.
His gaze swept over the white-robed scholar, finally settling on Han Kou's face, and he repeated, word by word:
"I'm telling you, your couplets are garbage."
Having said that, before the Han invaders could erupt, he turned to the first line of the couplet and loudly proclaimed:
"The first line reads: The Four Treasures of the Study contain elegant charm, and a stick of pine soot condenses the fragrance of ink."
"My reply: 'Ding Zhen of Litang delights guests; half a cup of fragrant tea is offered for your enjoyment!'"
The words had barely left his mouth!
The entire venue was deathly silent!
You could hear a pin drop!
Everyone was stunned, their minds blank, only subconsciously trying to process the second line of the couplet.
"Ding Zhen of Litang delights his guests, offering them half a cup of fragrant tea to savor..."
Han Kou didn't understand, but he sensed that something was wrong.
The white-robed scholar, upon hearing this couplet...
The color drained completely from his face!
Pale as paper!
His lips trembled as he pointed at Zhang Fan, his eyes filled with disbelief...
Horror and fear!
Upon hearing the couplet, Wei Shan, this romantic and talented scholar, dropped his folding fan to the ground!
He froze completely!
His eyes were wide open, staring intently at Zhang Fan, muttering to himself:
"How...how is this possible?!"
After a brief period of deathly silence.
in the crowd.
The old scholar suddenly began to tremble violently!
He suddenly stood up, and in his excitement, he knocked over the wine glass in front of him.
But he completely disregarded this, and in an almost manic tone, he chanted loudly:
The first line reads: "The Four Treasures of the Study hold elegant charm; a stick of pine soot condenses the fragrance of ink!"
The second line reads: "In the hall of justice, Ding Zhen delights his guests; half a cup of fragrant tea is offered for their enjoyment!"
After reading it aloud, he was so excited that his eyes turned red, and his voice trembled as he pointed at the couplets.
He explained to the stunned crowd around him:
"Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing! This is a match made in heaven, a true 'perfect' union!"
"Look! 'Article' matches 'reason'! Perfectly balanced!"
"The room faces the hall perfectly!"
"Four against one! Ladies and gentlemen! A stroke of genius!"
The first line uses the numeral "four," and the second line uses the Heavenly Stem "Ding."
"Such ingenuity is unheard of!"
"Look at the second half! 'A stick of pine soot' matches 'half a cup of fragrant tea'! 'The fragrance of ink' matches 'offering it to you to taste'!"
"One still, one dynamic; one internal, one external—both are equally elegant!"
The old scholar became more and more excited as he spoke, until the very end.
He actually bowed deeply in Zhang Fan's direction!
"To witness such absolute power today, I have no regrets even in death!"
As the old scholar explained, the entire hall erupted in chaos!
Everyone was looking at Zhang Fan as if he were a god!
His eyes were filled with shock, worship, and fanaticism!
"My God! You can even do that!"
"Four against one! My god, how did they get their brains working like that?!"
"The artistic conception, the parallelism... it's all at its peak!"
"Compared to this, Han Kou is definitely trash!"
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Zhang Fan!
He was the sole protagonist of the entire event!
Han Kou stood blankly on the second floor.
Listening to the discussions of the crowd and the old scholar's analysis.
Although he couldn't understand it.
But he understood three things:
First, he was completely outmatched by a kid in public.
Secondly, his proud couplets became a joke.
Third, he, Han Kou, became the ridiculous fool who made the other side look better!
"puff--"
A surge of blood rushed to the top of my head!
Han Kou felt a sweet taste in his throat, and then, overcome with anger and rage, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
……
749 Bureau Headquarters Command Center.
"Thump!"
A literature expert slapped his thigh in excitement.
He jumped up from his chair, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the screen!
"Hahaha! Did you see that?! Did you see that?!"
"The couplets I personally crafted are just that explosive!"
His face was flushed with excitement as he pointed at the screen and boasted to his colleagues:
"See? I told you so!"
"To deal with these half-baked ancient scholars, you have to use this kind of cleverly crafted, extremely witty retort!"
"Four against one! Hahaha, a stroke of genius!"
"That's called a dimensional reduction attack!"
The young staff members around him all wore strange expressions.
"Mr. Zhang, your couplet... is truly divine."
A young analyst muttered to himself.
"It's... something about 'Litang Dingzhen's Delightful Drink'..."
"Say it out loud, something just feels off..."
"What do you know!"
Old Zhang puffed out his beard and glared.
"Art!"
"This is the art of language!"
"That's exactly the kind of surprise we're looking for!"
Just then, the door to the command center was pushed open.
"Director Zhu!"
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.
Zhu Feng, who had just been woken up from his sleep, strode to the main screen while fastening his top button.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's; he grasped the entire situation in an instant with just a glance at the screen.
"How is the situation?"
"Reporting to Director Zhu! The first step of the plan has been successful!"
"Comrade Zhang Fan has achieved an absolute victory in suppressing the Korean invaders!"
"And it aroused the strong interest of our main target—Wei Shan!"
Zhu Feng's gaze was fixed intently on the screen.
He saw that figure, as still and imposing as a deep pool and a towering mountain.
They also saw two targets on the second floor: one furious and the other beaming with satisfaction.
"Good! Well done!"
Zhu Feng clenched his fist tightly, his eyes filled with admiration!
……
Inside Ji Honglou.
Han Kou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his chest heaving violently.
A murderous intent surged wildly!
He almost wanted to immediately order his guards to rush down and chop the man who had made him lose face into mincemeat!
But a last shred of reason pulled him back!
This is Ji Honglou, the most famous den of iniquity in Changzi County!
Murder in public here!
Even the Han family will have to bear huge consequences!
"hehe……"
Just as he was struggling, a soft laugh came from the side!
The laughter made no attempt to hide its schadenfreude!
Wei Shan opened the folding fan with a "whoosh" and slowly fanned himself.
He said in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh dear, Brother Han, what's wrong?"
"So easily angered?"
"They say there's no first place in literature, but there's a clear winner in martial arts!"
"However, it seems today that the difference in writing talent is sometimes greater than an insurmountable chasm."
"you!"
Wei Shan's words were like salt, rubbing hard into Han Kou's wounds!
Han Kou suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Wei Shan.
"Wei Shan! Don't be so smug!"
Han Kou forced out the sound through clenched teeth.
"Don't think that just because this guy you found won one round, you've won our bet!"
"This is only the first question from Fairy Pei!"
"With only two remaining, the outcome is still uncertain!"
