On the other side, Bai Xuan also realized what was going on. She looked embarrassed and said, "What should we do? Someone is purposely making things difficult for Hua 'er? No wonder the ranking of the celebrities had such a result … This … Alas, it's all my fault. Hua 'er, it's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to participate in the Top Beauty Competition, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns. Maybe by now, you have successfully removed your registration and been with Young Master Li. But now … Alas. "
She blamed herself.
Li Mu couldn't help but think highly of this Madam Sang.
She was a little humane. The first thing she thought of was not that Hua Xiangrong's failure to be the Top Beauty would hurt the interests of the Holy House, but for the sake of Hua Xiangrong's safety … It could be seen that she really regarded Hua Xiangrong as her sister.
For a moment, Zheng Cunjian also felt a little helpless.
"How about I go back and ask the magistrate to come forward …" In fact, he was not sure.
At this time, the maid Xin 'er also became anxious.
Hua Xiangrong didn't speak. She didn't want to put too much pressure on Li Mu, nor did she want to embarrass him. She just gently held Li Mu's arm. Even if she had to die, she would never bow to another man.
But Li Mu laughed and said, "Why do you all look like that? It's not like the sky has fallen. Besides, even if it does, I will make it grow back. "
To be honest, for Li Mu, an Earthling, the so-called removal of his registration was just a formality. If he wanted to take Hua Xiangrong away, who dared to stop him?
Bai Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Li, how about this? You take Hua 'er away now. Before the Top Beauty Competition is over, those people must have no time to react. When you get out of the city, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack even for the princes of the empire to find you."
Xin 'er's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, yes, now is an opportunity. Young Master Li, you take Miss away. I'll stay here and help Madam Bai to confuse them. When the people of the Musical House see me, they will never think that Miss has already left." With Li Mu's strength, it was as easy as turning over his hand to take a person out of Chang' an City without being noticed.
"No, how can I leave you …" Hua Xiangrong said anxiously. In her mind, Xin 'er was nominally a maid, but in fact, she was like a sister. How could she be willing to leave Xin' er here? Moreover, it could be imagined that once the Musical House found out the truth, Xin 'er's fate would be even more miserable than death.
Li Mu was both annoyed and amused. He said, "Don't come up with any ideas. Why should I leave? Even if I want to leave, I'd better get the title of Top Beauty and beat up the bad guys before I leave."
"But …" Bai Xuan's confidence faltered.
"No buts." Li Mu was full of confidence. "Hua 'er is definitely going to be the Top Beauty. In this world, not everything is in the hands of the so-called upper class. The great leader Mao Zedong once taught us that the people are the ones who move the wheel of history."
Hua Xiangrong: "?"
Bai Xuan: "?"
Zheng Cunjian: "?"
Xin 'er: "?"
"Mao." "Lord." "Who is Xi?"
"Why does this name sound so weird?"
Nevertheless, Li Mu's confidence did influence them.
"Go back and do what you should do." Li Mu waved Zheng Cunjian and Bai Xuan away.
In the tent, only Li Mu, Hua Xiangrong, and Xin 'er were left.
"If a fight breaks out tonight, Hua 'er, you just protect Xin' er. I'll take care of the rest." Li Mu planned ahead of time and made some arrangements. He had an intuition that something big would happen tonight.
Hua Xiangrong nodded in agreement.
"Young Master, will it be dangerous?" Xin 'er asked, blinking. She was still worried about Hua Xiangrong.
Li Mu answered, "Yes, it will be very dangerous … For the enemy, it's not that dangerous."
Xin 'er pulled a long face.
"How could Young Master Li still be so careless at this critical moment?"
Li Mu stopped teasing her. He turned around and told Hua Xiangrong some things, telling her how to defend and counterattack when she encountered experts. Of course, the most important thing was to be invincible. The application of the shield method was especially important. Then, he gave Hua Xiangrong some disposable Taoist instruments he refined in the past few days and told her how to use them.
"You specialize in Taoist magic arts. Your real combat capability is definitely beyond your imagination. Tonight, for you, may be an opportunity to verify what you have learned." Li Mu was full of confidence in Hua Xiangrong. He said, "By then, you will find how vulnerable those so-called famous masters and experts are in front of you."
Hua Xiangrong nodded obediently and listened very carefully.
In fact, she was not interested in fighting and killing.
However, she could perceive that Brother Mu was actually deliberately cultivating her ability in this aspect. As long as it was Brother Mu's wish, she was willing to realize it, whether she liked it or not.
After Li Mu told her everything, he sighed inwardly when he saw Hua Xiangrong's innocent and trusting eyes. He did not know whether he was helping her or harming her by cultivating such a girl as pure as water to be a god who could summon wind and rain. On the road of cultivation, once one set foot on it, there would be no gentle breeze or drizzle, but always a bloody storm.
But if he wanted Hua Xiangrong to grow into a helper by his side in the future, these experiences now were inevitable.
Li Mu was still a little selfish in his heart.
After doing all this, Li Mu closed his eyes in the open tent to practice and run the Xiantian Skill to adjust his state.
After half an hour, Bai Xuan came in again and said, "It's time for the last round of poem evaluation. I wonder if Young Master Li has prepared a poem for Hua 'er?" If there was a chance for Hua Xiangrong to turn the tables and become the Top Beauty tonight, it was this last round. If Li Mu could write a millennium poem that resonated with all the people on the scene, he could change the result of the second round of the celebrity evaluation and win the championship.
After all, in front of a real millennium poem that was enough to shake people's hearts, those celebrities also had to consider their own fame, and did not dare to succumb to the rich and powerful. Otherwise, their face and glory would be forever nailed to the pillar of shame along with this millennium poem.
However, how could a thousand-year poem be written so easily?
Take the three poems Li Mu wrote before, Epigraph of My Shack, Beauty Poem, and Beautiful Clothes in the Clouds and Beauty in the Flowers, were all amazing, but they could only be regarded as century-old poems. Among them, Beauty Poem might be a level higher than the general century-old poems, but it had not reached the standard of a millennium poem.
So when Bai Xuan came in to ask, she was hopeful, but not too hopeful.
"Oh? I forgot about it. " Li Mu patted his forehead. He had been thinking about other things, so he really forgot to copy the poem, uh, no, write the poem.
Bai Xuan suddenly felt desperate again.
"I'll write it now." Li Mu stood up with a smile. When the maid Xin 'er set up the table, Li Mu picked up the pen in front of the table and said to himself, "Well, what should I write?"
As soon as he looked up, he saw the bright moonlight shining in from the patio at the top of the tent. Suddenly, it occurred to him that when Hua Xiangrong performed an alluring dance on the main stage, the moonlight all over the sky shone on her. At that moment, this white female fairy seemed to fly away with the wind and become an immortal. The moonlight only shone on her.
"Got it."
Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he picked up the pen to write on the paper.
Bai Xuan did not have much hope left in her heart. But she had to make every possible effort. So, she waited by the side and quietly watched Li Mu compose his poem. However, as she read on, her eyes suddenly lit up. Then, because of excitement, she began to tremble all over.
…
…
More than a dozen poems had been hung on the main stage.
They were all written by scholars from all walks of life for the famous prostitutes they supported, or by some famous prostitutes who had racked their brains to get poems for themselves. It was considered a last resort. Poems could enhance the beauty, and beauties could use poems to become famous. This had always been a tradition. In a previous Top Courtesan Competition, there was a famous prostitute who did not perform well during her performance because she was nervous. She was ranked last, but she was extremely lucky to get a poem written for her by the contemporary Young Master Wen Zongbin. She made a comeback and finally won first place.
It could be seen that poems played an important role in the Top Beauty Competition.
Every time a poem was hung on the stage, someone would read it aloud, and it was transmitted to the whole Liufang Street through some loudspeaker tactical deployments, so that everyone could comment and appreciate it.
For many scholars, the Top Beauty Competition was also an opportunity to make a name for themselves. Maybe one poem could make them famous all over the world.
On the VIP seats in front of the main stage, dozens of so-called "professionals" were commenting on the poems that had been hung.
"Master Si Yuhua's poem should be the best … Complex strings play the misty water, long sleeves turn back to the luan. Both are in harmony, like looking into a mirror … It's a vivid depiction of the beauty of Master Si's sleeves," a middle-aged scholar praised as he shook his head.
This remark was approved by many people.
Because this poem was indeed well written. Among the several poems posted before, it could be regarded as a masterpiece.
"Not necessarily. This poem describing Miss Xue Rui of Fufeng is also eye-catching … Haha, the eyebrows of the distant mountains are long, and the waist of the willow is curving. After putting on makeup, standing in the spring breeze, a smile is worth a thousand gold. When returning to Wind City, I said to the brothel. Among all the flowers of Yingchuan, no one is as good as Xue Rui … Especially this sentence, a smile is worth a thousand gold. It can be regarded as a masterpiece. "Tie Zhan, the dean of the Hanshan Academy, was also one of the critics, and said with great appreciation.
After the famous prostitute Xue Rui came to Chang 'an City, she caused a sensation. And her temporary residence was in the Hanshan Academy, so many people expected that Tie Zhan would support Xue Rui.
