"Little Master Li Yi, do you really know how to write poetry?”
Du He's eyes widened. It was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw as she grabbed onto Li Yi's arm.
Wei Shuwan, Fang Jun, and Gao Chunxing, who were beside him, heard that Li Yi knew how to compose poems and looked at him in surprise.
"Like I said, barely."
Li Yi said.
"Little Master Li Yi, you have to help me. If you can help me save Cui Er, I will be willing to work for you in the future.”
Du He stood up from the chair and pulled Li Yi's arm, her expression excited.
It could be seen that Du He really liked that girl called Cui Er.
"I don't want a human shaped ox or horse like you who can't farm or ride.”
Li Yi shook his head.
"Little Master Li Yi, that Ming Jin is the number one genius in Jiangnan. Even if Master Li Yi can write poems, I'm afraid you can't compare to him.”
Wei Shuwan reminded.
"That's right. Even if you can write poems, Ming Jincai is the number one genius in Jiangnan. You can't win against him!”
Hearing Wei Shuwan's words, Du He came to her senses and said with a discouraged look.
"We'll only know if it works after we try. Could it be that you have already given up before you even tried? Do you want the woman you like to be snatched away by another man?”
Li Yi said.
"I don't want to."
Du He said firmly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Little Master Li Yi.”
Du He thought about it and agreed.
He had to try to know if it would work or not. It was better to try than not to try at all.
Even though she said that, Du He did not think highly of Li Yi at all.
Wei Shuwan, Fang Jun, and Gao Chunxing didn't think highly of Li Yi either.
Ming Jincai's reputation as the number one scholar in Jiangnan was simply too great.
In their hearts, although Li Yi was an expert storyteller, perhaps even the best in the Great Tang, he was no match for Ming Jincai in poetry.
Ignoring the thoughts of the four of them, Li Yi nodded.
Then, he walked out of the crowd and came to the middle of the third floor.
As soon as Li Yi walked to the middle of the third floor, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the third floor of Xiaoxiang Restaurant.
Li Yi's dressing was too unique.
He had short hair and wore a moon-white robe. He looked handsome, like a young and handsome monk who had just walked out of the temple.
It was the first time everyone had seen such a strange thing when a young monk came to visit a brothel.
"I wonder why Little Master has stood out?”
Li Yi walked out, causing Ming Jincai, who was standing in the middle of the third floor and preparing to continue composing poems to take down Cui 'er in one fell swoop, to be stunned. Then, he looked at Li Yi in surprise.
"Of course I came out to compose poems.”
Li Yi said calmly.
"Oh, this monk is also interested in these girls from Xiaoxiang Restaurant?”
Ming Jincai was stunned, and then a hint of a teasing expression appeared on his face.
When the surrounding guests of Xiaoxiang Restaurant heard Ming Jincai's words, they immediately burst into laughter.
"Monk, are you interested in the girl standing there?”
Then, Ming Jin said with interest.
Li Yi walked in front of Miss Cui-er and pointed at her.""I'm interested in her."
Ming Jincai was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and sneered,"You mean, you want to fight with me?”
"This little monk is overestimating himself! He actually wanted to fight with Young Master Ming for that girl!”
"That's right, Young Master Ming is the number one scholar in Jiangnan!”
"This little monk is too arrogant. Looking at his appearance, I believe that he knows how to recite scriptures, but I don't believe that he knows how to compose poems.”
"Even if he knows how to compose poems, I'm afraid the poems he composed are as childish as children's songs, right? How can he compare to Young Master Ming!"
……
Everyone on the third floor of Xiaoxiang Restaurant laughed at Li Yi.
Li Yi ignored everyone's mockery.
He just looked at Ming Jincai calmly.
The King of Zhao, Li Yuanjing, who was standing at the side, had a gloomy expression. He recognized Li Yi, the " monk " who was standing behind Du He earlier.
The Zhao Prince, Li Yuanjing, was already determined to get Cui 'er.
But now, Li Yi stood out.
Regardless of whether Li Yi could write a poem or not, he already hated Li Yi.
However, Li Yi didn't know about this at the moment. Even if he did, he probably wouldn't care about Li Yuanjing's hatred.
Previously, he did not even give face to the current prime minister, the emperor's uncle, Empress Zhangsun's brother Zhangsun Wuji, let alone a prince of the Li family.
The Prince of the Li family was a Prince, but Li Yuanjing was the younger brother of the current Emperor, Li Shimin, and was conferred the title of King of Zhao by the former Emperor Gaozong.
But in fact, because of the incident at the Black Tortoise Gate, Li Shiming was afraid that one day, he would be the one killed.
Therefore, he deliberately suppressed the power of the Li family's royal descendants to prevent the other princes from being difficult to deal with.
The Princes who were of the same generation as Li Shiming were either given some empty positions without any real power or sent away from the capital.
Moreover, Li Yuanjing was the son of the former Emperor Gaozong, Li Yuan. After he took the throne, he was given birth to a concubine, not Li Yuan's first wife.
They were an entire generation apart.
There were no feelings between them.
To be honest, in Li Shiming's heart, Li Yuanjing's weight was probably not even comparable to the ministers he doted on.
For example, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.
Previously, when Du Ruhui was still alive, Li Yuanjing did not dare to find trouble with Du He. After Du Ruhui passed away, Li Yuanjing dared to take revenge on Du He. This was also the reason.
With Li Yuanjing's status, even if he hated Li Yi, he couldn't possibly send an army to capture Li Yi openly, right?
It was not that Li Yi was looking down on Li Yuanjing, but Li Yuanjing did not have the authority to do so.
As for the secret revenge, Li Yi had obtained the Unparalleled Overlord Body gifted by the system. Although he looked like a weak little monk on the surface, Li Yi's martial strength was already comparable to those famous generals in history.
For example, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Qin Shubao, Meng Tian, and the others.
Li Yi was not afraid of Li Yuanjing's despicable methods of revenge.
Cui Er saw that someone had come for her. She recognized Li Yi as the young monk who had been following behind Du He. She guessed that Li Yi was Du He's friend and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
However, the glimmer of hope in her heart quickly dissipated because she also remembered that the Zhao King, Li Yuanjing, had invited the number one scholar in Jiangnan, Ming Jincai. With the identity of the little monk in front of her, it was impossible for him to write poems that could compare to Ming Jincai.
"Can I write poems now?"
Li Yi ignored everyone's mockery and disapproval of him as he looked at Mama Luo.
"You can, but I don't know if you're representing yourself or Young Master Du?”
Mrs. Luo asked with a mocking look in her eyes.
"Du He."
Li Yi said calmly.
"But our Xiaoxiang Restaurant has a rule that guests who come to light incense can't ask for outside help.”
Mother Luo said disdainfully.
"Oh! If they couldn't get outside help, what about them? Could it be that because he was a prince, he would receive special treatment? Could this be an activity for self-entertainment at Xiaoxiang Restaurant? If it was, no one would come to Xiaoxiang Restaurant on a day like today!”
Li Yi asked calmly.
"This…"
Li Yi's words stumped Mother Luo.
In her heart, Li Yuanjing, the King of Zhao, had a noble status. As a prince of the royal family, and with the addition of Xiao Xiang Restaurant, he had just found the King of Zhao as a backer. Therefore, in her heart, it was only natural for the King of Zhao, Li Yuanjing, to seek help.
However, they couldn't admit to this matter in front of everyone. Otherwise, if this news spread, their Xiao Xiang Restaurant's reputation would be ruined in the future, and their business would probably plummet in the future.
"Alright, since that's the case, my Xiao Xiang Restaurant will agree to your poem. I want to see what kind of good poem a flowery monk like you who visits brothels can come up with. Don't think that you can deceive my Xiao Xiang Restaurant and the guests sitting here just by writing a poem that is not even comparable to a three-year-old child.”
Mother Luo was forced by Li Yi to change her words. She looked angry.
She wanted to see how Li Yi would embarrass himself later.
