Chapter 249
As soon as the words fell, the whole court was shocked.
Gambling with life?
The eyes of Wang Zhong, Lu Wen and others suddenly changed, and they suddenly became excited.
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er were also shocked.
Wu Zhao subconsciously said, "Gao Yang, don't be impulsive!"
She would rather the whole Daqian be humiliated than Gao Yang lose his life. In her heart, Gao Yang's current importance to Daqian is far greater than these false names!
But Gao Yang raised his hand and interrupted Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, this man and the Dachu envoys intend to shit on my Daqian's neck. I will never tolerate him today!"
"I am determined to gamble my life with him, please grant your majesty's approval!"
This resolute voice and righteous tone moved the Zhao and Yan envoys for a while, and even made them admire, but Wu Zhao heard something wrong.
If danger comes, even Chu Ningyu may protect her, but Gao Yang will definitely run the fastest.
In the battle of Chang'an, if the family of Duke Dingguo was not determined to fight to the death and not retreat, Gao Yang would have slipped to Jiangnan long ago. Now he is betting his life with this king of kings.
Could it be...
Wu Zhao's eyes changed, and she was no longer panicked.
Chu Ningyu was excited.
Betting life!
If Gao Yang could draw his sword and commit suicide, the Great Chu would have one less powerful enemy.
Chu Ningyu suppressed her excitement, but her heart could not help but start beating violently.
After hearing this, Mr. Wei couldn't help laughing.
He said happily.
"Great!"
"Great!"
"Mr. Gao, you are the first person who dared to bet his life with me in the past ten years. Today, I can finally show my skills. I accept the bet!"
Mr. Wei was very happy. He felt that the long-lost blood was surging in his chest, as if it was about to burst out!
"Mr. Gao, how do you want to bet?"
While Mr. Wei was speaking, a gleam of light burst out from his turbid eyes.
All the officials were looking forward to hearing this.
Seeing this, Gao Yang said directly, "I am so happy to meet a worthy opponent!"
"As everyone knows, I have always respected the old and loved the young, so I will only give two couplets. As long as Mr. Wei can come up with a neat and similar couplet within half an hour, Mr. Wei will win, and I will draw my sword and commit suicide on the spot!"
"Mr. Wei, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei's eyes became solemn.
He sighed and said, "Although I am in Da Chu, I have heard of Mr. Gao's name. I thought Mr. Gao was going to cheat, but now it seems that Mr. Gao is not as shameless as the rumors say!"
"I have taken advantage of this bet!"
"Mr. Gao, please teach me!"
Mr. Wei said for a while. If it were not for the issue of position and Mr. Zhou's death, he would have spared Gao Yang's life just based on these words!
Gao Yang didn't say much after hearing this.
He strolled in the Jinluan Palace, his eyes showing a look of reminiscence.
Then he slowly said, "When I was seven years old, I happened to see a monk painting by the pond. It was August at that time, and the lotus in the pond was in full bloom, which was extremely beautiful, leaving a deep impression on me."
"So my first couplet is to paint the monk's painting of lotus flowers!"
With Gao Yang's words, all the officials frowned instantly.
They couldn't help but mutter, "Paint the monk's painting of lotus flowers."
Lü Zhen and Qin Zhenguo, as well as Gao Feng, all frowned.
They thought Gao Yang was going to come up with a very difficult couplet, but Gao Yang held it back for a long time, and this couplet actually had only seven big characters, and it was the scene Gao Yang saw when he was seven years old!
And it looked ordinary.
"What's so difficult about this couplet?"
Wang Zhong shook his head and said with disdain.
Cui Xinghe frowned at first, but the next second, he looked shocked.
"No, this couplet is absolutely amazing!"
"It can be said to be one of the best in Daqian and even the Seven Kingdoms!"
He looked at Gao Yang with a pair of eyes full of horror.
Is there still a way to survive?
You, Gao Yang, are proficient in poisonous schemes, military tactics, Mohism, governance, medicine, poetry, and even couplets?
These words puzzled Wang Zhong and others, and they hurriedly spoke out.
"Cui Zhuangyuan, what do you mean?"
"Could it be that the lotus on the painting and the monk's painting hide a mystery that we don't know?"
Cui Xinghe suppressed his inner shock and said to all the officials, "You gentlemen, read this couplet in reverse, and you will know the wonderfulness of this couplet."
Wang Zhong was the first to do so. He murmured, "Painting the monk and the lotus on the painting!"
Then, with a look of shock on his face, his loud voice resounded throughout the Golden Palace.
"This couplet is actually the same when read in reverse!"
Wang Zhong looked at Gao Yang in disbelief, with fear on his face.
This is respecting the elderly and loving the young?
Who can match it up in half an hour?
Wu Zhao also reacted immediately. She looked at Gao Yang with a smile on her face.
This Gao Yang is amazing!
Almost instantly, the pressure came to Mr. Wei.
Mr. Wei was also suddenly confused.
He looked at Gao Yang as if he had seen a ghost. As soon as the first couplet came out, he realized that it was wrong.
This is not only the same when read forward or backward, but also a typical palindrome couplet. The meaning must be reasonable, and the structure of the second couplet must be completely consistent!
And the artistic conception and part of speech of the second couplet must match.
Is this the first couplet made when he was a child?
Mr. Wei's forehead was sweating coldly. He said at the beginning that he did not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year was very unlucky.
Is this really going to lie on the board with Mr. Zhou?
He couldn't match this first couplet at all for a while!
The Chu State envoys, including Chu Ningyu, also changed color, and everyone's face turned green.
"Master Gao, what about your second couplet?"
"Is it also written when you were seven years old? Is it also the same when read forward and backward?"
Old Master Wei looked at Gao Yang nervously and asked.
If the second couplet was simpler, he might be able to make the lower couplet of the first couplet in half an hour, otherwise it would be dangerous.
Seeing this, Gao Yang shook his head.
"How could this be!"
"In comparison, the second couplet is simpler."
"Because this couplet has only five words, it was written when I was five years old and traveled in the countryside, saw the tranquil scenery of the countryside, and stood by the willow tree by the pond!"
