Chapter 90: Master of Plagiarism (Thanks to my Shengci Laodi for the reward and support ~ Happy May Day to all godfathers!)
The man wearing a white jade headband turned to look at the middle-aged man with flowing white beard beside him.

Out of respect, he bowed his head slightly:

"Brother Zigang is right. I won't say much more."

As Lu Bu listened to their conversation, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Yuanlong?

Sub-gang?

The two people's handwriting is so familiar...

During this period, there was probably only one person who had both outstanding abilities and reputation as Zi Yuan Long!

That is the Chen family of Xuzhou - Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong!
As for the word "Zigang", it is not very common.

But there is probably only one person who was born in this period and is relatively famous.

That is Zhang Hong, one of the “Two Zhangs of Jiangdong”!
The other "Zhang" naturally refers to Zhang Zhao, an important official of the Eastern Wu.

After roughly confirming the identities of the two, Lu Bu was quite surprised.

Both of them have made great achievements in politics and strategy.

Especially Zhang Hong, his political ability is absolutely top-notch!
If Chen Deng had not died early from eating sashimi, and only lived to the age of 38, he would certainly have achieved greater accomplishments in the future.

There is no doubt that these are two talents worth recruiting!

However, these two people hated Lu Bu very much in history.

I don’t know if I can change their views in this life…

Lu Bu was not in a hurry to get close to them, nor was he angry about Chen Deng's recent offense.

People with talent and background will tend to be more or less arrogant.

But this kind of arrogance is only shown to people who are looked down upon by others.

If he could make the other party agree with him from the bottom of their heart, then he believed that the other party would never show any arrogance towards him again.

However, Xiao Qiao seemed a little unconvinced and wanted to say a few words to Chen Dengding.

But Lu Bu simply put his arm around her slender waist and gently pinched her soft belly.

"嘤——"

Xiao Qiao let out a moan immediately, and the sensitivity of her abdomen made two blushes appear on her face.

She huddled in Lu Bu's arms, looking at the man's chin with both shyness and love.

However, Lu Bu ignored her and just looked at Xu Shao in the center of the venue, hugging the naughty girl tightly.

The paintings that Xu Shao just commented on were both good and bad, and the creators were listening to the comments carefully.

But it is obvious that works that are picked out for problems will hardly receive high praise.

As the review of the painting ended, Xu Shao turned his gaze to Zhang Hong:
"Next, it's Brother Zigang's turn.

"I heard that Zigang recently wrote a poem. Would you mind showing it to everyone?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his side and handed it to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing held the bamboo slips and handed them to Xu Shao.

Xu Shao spread out the bamboo slips, and after seeing the first sentence "It is outstanding and unique, extremely strange and unique", his eyes suddenly lit up!
Although there are some good works among the various works reviewed before, none of them can be considered top-notch.

But Zhang Hong's "Guicai Pillow Fu".

From the very first sentence, Xu Shao felt that his level was more than an order of magnitude higher than others!

"Like golden stems on frosted ground, purple leaves and red flowers..."

"Clouds rise and the air evaporates, stars gather and the spirit flows..."

As he read these words, Xu Shao's eyes lit up again and again.

When Xu Shao shared this poem with everyone, everyone was amazed!
Even a modern person like Lu Bu, who is familiar with Tang and Song poetry, feels that this poem is indeed of first-class standard.

Xu Shao immediately commented:
"This article is like mandarin ducks embracing each other, or wheat with its ears hanging down. It can be called a masterpiece!
"I'm afraid that no one here today can write a work comparable to this poem."

After Xu Shao finished speaking, he smiled and glanced at everyone.

I was expecting someone to retort, but almost everyone present just nodded.

Even Chen Yuanlong, who was always proud, had an affirmative expression.

Just when Xu Shao thought that Zhang Hong would win the first prize for poetry today, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "This poetry is indeed a masterpiece, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that no one here can do it again."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shao's mouth immediately curled up with excitement.

Others all turned their eyes to a man surrounded by several women.

The man was dressed in a black suit, with a handsome face and a solemn temperament.

Even when sitting cross-legged, his height is much taller than others, not to mention how tall he is when standing up.

Although this man has an air of superiority, most of those who can sit here have a good background.

After all, in such war-torn times, poor people have almost no time to read and write.

Only those who can guarantee their most basic living needs have the opportunity to receive cultural education.

But even if ordinary people can read books, they can only recognize a few words and will not become illiterate.

However, if one wants to have a high enough literary literacy, generally only the aristocratic families with strict requirements can do so.

Chen Deng saw that the person who spoke was actually the man he had just scolded.

At first, the other party did not respond, and he thought he was a low-key person.

I didn't expect him to say such arrogant words now. No wonder his wives and concubines are so unruly.

Sure enough, we are not a family, we don’t enter the same family!

Chen Deng immediately sneered:
"Brother Zigang's literary talent is rare in the world.

"Apart from Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang, who else in the world can rival them in terms of literary attainments? Could it be you?"

Zhang Hong was also looking at Lu Bu at this moment.

With his calm personality, he didn't want to look down on any stranger.

But now that this guy said this, it was undoubtedly directed at him.

It would be abnormal if he didn't have any temper towards people who targeted him.

Zhang Hong said indifferently:

"Since you can say such words, you must be a great poet.

"Why don't you bring out your own work for us to appreciate?"

"I, have no works..." Lu Bu smiled and shook his head.

"No works?"

Chen Deng was immediately so angry that he laughed:

“How dare you speak so arrogantly here without any works?

"Brother Zijiang, I think this guy is causing trouble on purpose, get him out now!"

Chen Deng said this and looked at Xu Shao.

Xu Shao was also looking at the strange man at this moment.

He could sense that this guy had an extraordinary aura.

In fact, the other party gave him a quite gentle feeling, not like the kind of troublemaker who deliberately caused trouble.

Since the other party dares to say such words, he must have some talent.

He ignored Chen Deng and just bowed to Lu Bu and said:
"Today we make friends with our talents and entertain guests with our literature.

“As long as you have talent, you can show it off at this rare event.

"I see that you have an extraordinary temperament, neither humble nor overbearing, and you must have something extraordinary.

"If he can show us, he will surely become famous all over the world!"

Hearing Xu Shao say this, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, he could hear that Xu Shao had deliberately said that no one present could write poetry as good as Zhang Hong.

The purpose is to catch the experts.

Although Lu Bu was not a master of rhetoric, he was a master of plagiarism!
There are so many famous poems and essays in the five thousand years of Chinese history, aren’t they all easy to come by?

With the purpose of impressing Zhang Hong and Chen Deng, Lu Bu slowly stood up amid the questioning gazes of the crowd...
