The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

sunset.

The literary event is coming to an end.

Many of the scholars and onlookers who were watching the fun dispersed.

Sima Jieyuan's face turned pale. Sima Zhu, as a scholar of the Imperial Academy of the Great Jin Dynasty, represented the Great Jin Dynasty after all. He came to Su Hong, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Master Su, since the literary event is over, we will not bother you anymore and will set off to return to Dading City."

"Brother Sima, you might as well stay in Luofu City for a few more days. It won't be too late to go back then." As the head of the Su family, Su Hong naturally had to follow the proper etiquette and greetings.

"We have been away from Dading City for many days, and the head of the Su family is busy with official business, so I will not waste your time any more." Sima Zhu had a faint smile on his face.

He was also very depressed. He thought that he brought Sima Jieyuan to participate in the literary event just to make Sima Jieyuan famous and trample on the scholars of the entire Song Dynasty. However, he did not expect that Zhenguojun would appear halfway and not only was he very good at couplets, but he actually composed the "Water Melody Song Head" which was destined to be passed down through the ages. This really made them lose face.

Seeing Sima Jieyuan and Sima Zhu were about to leave, Ran Maoshan quickly came to Su Chen to say hello, then turned around and left with Mi Heng.

"You two seem to have forgotten something? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Ye Feng spoke when he saw Ran Maoshan and Mi Heng taking a few steps.

Everyone at the scene looked at Ran Maoshan and Mi Heng. They naturally knew what Ye Feng was referring to. You know, Mi Heng had made a solemn promise before, but he bet with Ye Feng 500,000 taels of gold. Now that the bet has not been fulfilled, he wants to leave in a hurry, which is obviously to default on his debt.

"What do you mean, sir? We are here to participate in the literary event in Nanjun on behalf of the Great Xia Dynasty, and you, the Great Song Dynasty, are going to detain us?"

Ran Maoshan knew it very well, but pretended not to know. He turned around with an angry face and complained first, saying, "Master Su, this is not how you, the Su family of Nanjun, entertain guests, right? If this gets out, who will dare to come to Luofu City to participate in the literary event in the future?"

Su Chen smiled faintly when he heard this, and said, "Brother Ran, have you forgotten that Mi Heng made a bet of 500,000 taels of gold with our Zhenguo Jun before, but it has not been fulfilled yet?"

hissing...

Many people gasped. Even though the Mi family was a famous family in the Great Xia Dynasty, taking out 500,000 taels of gold in one go was not a small amount.

Mi Heng felt aggrieved and angry. Who could have thought that Ye Feng was so good at couplets? He felt annoyed and regretful.

If his father knew that he came to Nanjun to participate in the literary event, not only did he not become famous, but he also made a bet with Ye Feng and lost 500,000 taels of gold, he would definitely beat him to death. Their Mi family could not afford to lose this person.

"Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The talent of the king is indeed unprecedented, but using literature to gamble for money is inevitably a bit vulgar and not the style of a scholar."

Ran Maoshan didn't care about his face. He could see from Ye Feng's expression that he was afraid that unless Ye Feng took out 500,000 taels of gold today, he would definitely not let them leave, so he just cheated.

"Brother Ran, have you forgotten the bet? The bet is about writing couplets, not poems." Su Chen secretly despised him. He really didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. He dared to bet with the king of Zhenguo. Isn't that asking for humiliation? His son Su Hong was young and hot-tempered. He was instigated by Li Xun to bet with Ye Feng. Didn't he also lose miserably?

"If you don't accept my toast, you want to drink the wine for punishment!"

Seeing that Ran Maoshan and Mi Heng not only wanted to cash in their bets but also wanted to cheat, Ye Feng was furious and said directly, "Come here, arrest Mi Heng. When the Great Xia Dynasty sends 500,000 taels of gold, let him go."

"you dare?"

When Mi Heng heard that Ye Feng actually wanted to order people to arrest him, his face suddenly changed. Their Mi family was one of the largest families in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Now that he has come to the weakened Song Dynasty, the other party actually wants to capture him. Isn't he afraid of revenge from the Great Xia Dynasty?

However, Madam Xinling, along with Duan Peng, Lao Xu, and a few soldiers, came to Mi Heng and ordered directly: "Catch him!"

"No? You can't do this to me. I'm the new top scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty." Mi Heng never expected that the soldiers would simply turn a deaf ear to him.

Two soldiers quickly restrained his left and right hands, and each of them grabbed him.

Ye Feng looked at Su Chen and said, "Do you have any jail cells or places to detain people in Luofu City? Throw him in there and release him after 500,000 taels of gold are delivered."

Su Chen had a smile on his face. He knew very well the character of Ye Feng in front of him. He knew that he must be fearless. Mi Heng had hit a wall.

Ran Maoshan stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty, can you please not keep Mi Heng in the cell? I will go to the Great Xia Dynasty to collect gold and come back to repay you."

"It will take about half a month to go from Luofu City to the Great Xia Dynasty at full speed. If I don't see 500,000 taels of gold in Luofu City after half a month, I will offer Mi Heng's head to you with both hands." Ye Feng said in a firm voice, not caring at all about Ran Maoshan's trembling face, and turned around and left on his own.

"Master Su, this?"

Ran Maoshan had an ugly expression on his face. He looked at Su Chen, wanting him to beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen said directly: "Brother Ran, I advise you to find a way to get 500,000 taels of gold. I know the character of our state king very well. He must keep his word. Otherwise, by the time fifteen days have passed, I'm afraid Mi Heng will really be beheaded."

"Oh, what's the big deal!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Maoshan sighed and felt regretful. If he had known that the journey to Luofu City would be so troublesome, he should not have brought Mi Heng along, and he would not have made a bet with Ye Feng.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly turned around and walked outside.

Sima Zhu and Sima Jieyuan were secretly gloating when they saw this scene. Fortunately, they did not jump out to provoke Ye Feng first. Otherwise, if they really lost 500,000 taels of gold in the bet, I am afraid that the Great Jin Dynasty would rather watch them beheaded than pay 500,000 taels of gold.

With the end of the literary event, Ye Feng's couplet and "Song of Water Melody" spread like wildfire and quickly reached every corner of Nanjun.

"I never thought our king was so capable. 'Song of Water Melody' is the best poem I have ever read in my lifetime."

"Zhen Guojun is not only good at leading troops to fight and governing the country, but also proficient in poetry and couplets. He is truly a versatile person."

"I heard that the King of Zhenguo cannot practice martial arts. There is no spiritual energy fluctuation in his body. What a pity."

"But judging from the few poems that have been passed down by Zhenguojun, his talent is truly unprecedented."

Until the evening, the teahouses and restaurants throughout Nanjun were still bustling with people. Everyone was spreading the news of the literary event by word of mouth, and they were full of admiration for the King of the State, Ye Feng.
