The girl sneered.

"You...ah...tell me, why did the adults in Guan Yan invite those girls to entertain us?"

Li Qingcha is very smart. He has been here for a while, so he can roughly guess what the other person wants to say with just one hint.

Those young ladies were invited here just to entertain the adults present.

But there is a difference between being implicit and being direct in adding to the fun.

No need to say more, just get naked and go to bed,

As for the more subtle way, after everyone has had three rounds of wine and five dishes, they start reciting poems and composing couplets, and then the girl chooses one of them to sing.

If she sings well, the imperial envoy will be happy and may invite her to the imperial envoy's camp to "discuss poetry" and have a romantic affair.

This is the intention of secretly flattering someone.

However, when Li Qingcha sang it himself, it was still in this heroic tone, and the girls couldn't sing it.

There is naturally no chance of flattery.

tsk...

She couldn't help but gasp.

Guan Yan's officials are not bad at fighting on horseback or governing the people on foot. They are also good at flattering. They really have to do both well, which is quite difficult for them.

Mada took the lead in raising his glass.

"Your Excellency's words are magnificent. I offer you a toast!"

He drank it all in one gulp.

Other officials followed suit.

Li Qingcha accepted it calmly, and then raised his glass to toast back.

The atmosphere at the table was even more lively.

Ma Da looked around and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Sir, you have driven back the demon tribe's vanguard without any soldiers. This is a great achievement. I am afraid that in a short time, a monument will be erected at the border of Yanzhou to record your achievements."

Luo Weiyang muttered: "Here it comes again~"

Chi Weili said “hmm” and agreed: “Erecting a monument, an old trick.”

The two sang and complained together,

Li Qingcha glared at the bored pair of sisters, then turned to Ma Da and asked, "Master Ma, is this true?"

Motor nodded.

"Of course, this matter... um... I will use the Four Wars Monument as an example, 'Yanzhou is the land of four wars. The Northern Yi clowns and barbarians stole the name, and dared to cause trouble by being a subordinate..."

It's really a matter of words.

Li Qingcha knew that the so-called Four Battle Monuments were the defense battles of Yanzhou during the previous emperor's time, in which more than 4,000 enemies were annihilated.

She said: "I dare not compare myself with him."

Motor nodded.

"Your Excellency is still too modest. Indeed, in terms of killing the enemy and deterring them, today's achievement cannot be compared with that of the past. However, this time we are repelling the enemy through diplomacy, which is probably more meaningful than before."

"This……"

"In my humble opinion, it is absolutely necessary to erect a monument."

The other officials nodded.

Seeing how confident they were, and how they swore that it was true, Li Qingcha could not refute it.

Of course, she would not ask about the contents of the inscription.

Isn't this obviously fishing?

These Guan Yan brothers are so cunning. I'm afraid they want to learn from Wei Xian of Bailu Academy and get their poems for free.

as predicted……

"Don't bother two people with one thing. Since you are the protagonist of this matter, why don't you write a poem for it...ah...poems, lyrics, songs, and essays are all fine. With your talent, it shouldn't be difficult."

The true intention of the motor is revealed.

Li Qingcha:  ̄□ ̄||

I knew it would turn out like this.

Dang Junliang echoed: "Master Ma is right. The Imperial Envoy has made great achievements since his arrival in Yanzhou. I think he is in high spirits and full of ideas. It is best to strike while the iron is hot."

The other officials also spoke one after another, staring at Li Qingcha with hope in their eyes.

Luo Weiyang covered her face with Xiao Hui and came closer.

"Look, they're carrying it up."

Li Qingcha: ???

"hug?"

"Hold your thighs! We clearly talked about this before... um... you hit me!?"

Xiao Hui: “Meow~”

Her tail swept around and hit Luo Weiyang in the face.

Luo Weiyang was very angry.

A man and a cat started a big fight.

Chi Weili was busy separating Junior Sister and Xiao Hui, and said at the same time: "I think you should let them hold you."

Li Qingcha: “…”

"Can you please stop saying this word...it's so weird..."

"No, I'm not making fun of you. Just as the inscription says, 'Yanzhou is a place of four wars', there are many talented people here. If you are a thigh, then they can definitely be considered thick thigh hairs. It won't hurt to let them hug you."

"!@#¥*%..."

Li Qingcha spewed gibberish.

Chi Weili chuckled and hid aside.

However, her eyes were serious and what she just said was obviously not a joke.

Li Qingcha pondered for a while, then nodded slowly.

"In this case, I will chant a poem."

After hearing her say this, everyone immediately held their breath and waited quietly.

Chapter 448 "Gift" Poem

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

I want to ask about the border on a bicycle, and the vassal state will delay the border crossing.

Zheng Peng left Hansai and returned to Hu Tian.

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

I met a scout at the border, and he said he was guarding Yanran.

……

(Note: Adapted from "Envoy to the Frontier", by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty)

The restaurant was quiet.

The officials of Guanyan looked at each other, all of them were at a loss because of Li Qingcha.

A lone smoke rising in the desert?

The setting sun over the long river?

Yes, the demon tribe’s territory does have such scenery.

But Yanzhou didn't have it.

Yanzhou is still a typical Han Chinese settlement, with farmland as the main area, forming a human living circle of villages, towns and major cities. Although it is not as good as the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not as empty and lonely as described in the poem.

However, from the perspective of poetry appreciation, everyone thinks that "the lone smoke rises straight in the desert, the setting sun is round in the long river" is the highlight of this poem.

Did Li Qingcha write it wrong?

No one spoke.

Luo Weiyang covered her face with Xiao Hui again and moved closer to Li Qingcha.

"Um...Brother Li, you have never been to the demon tribe's territory, right?"

Li Qingcha shook his head.

"No."

"..."

"..."

Silence lay between the two of them.

Li Qingcha:  ̄□ ̄||

She has also realized her own overconfidence.

But once words are spoken, they can be spilled. It is definitely too late to correct them now, so I can only shut up.

At this time, someone whispered: "This poem is really well written. Especially the two lines 'The smoke rises straight up in the desert, the sun sets over the long river'. The picture is so vivid that even people with poor imagination can feel as if they are there. It's just that..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was another moment of silence.

Suddenly, someone finally asked, "Could it be possible that your Excellency... wrote it wrong?"

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted angry glares from his colleagues.

Are you kidding? How could the imperial envoy be wrong?

If they were wrong, it was because they heard it wrong!

Mada's mind raced, and he asked, "What do you think this 'lonely smoke' is?"

Everyone was stunned,

After a long while, Dang Junliang suddenly clapped his hands.

"I understand! There are two possible explanations for this 'lonely smoke'. One is the most common one, which is cooking smoke. But who would cook in such a situation?"

After asking a question, Dang Junliang looked around.

No one can answer.

He chuckled and said, "This reminds me of the second meaning of 'Lonely Smoke', the wolf smoke."

Everyone was struck by lightning.

The flames of war!

The Imperial Envoy has such great ambitions!

Seeing that his colleagues seemed to have understood, Dang Junliang said with some pride: "Combined with the following sentence, 'The long river sets and the sun is round', it is not difficult to see that when you wrote this sentence, you had a broad mind and ambition to conquer thousands of miles."

Everyone nodded.

Those who are cooking in the desert are probably an iron army of human beings deep behind enemy lines.

Ma Da said, "That's what I think. As the saying goes, 'You can't be there physically, but you can be there mentally.' Although you haven't been to the demon tribe's territory, you have the courage to roam the desert!"
