I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"Master Gu, the Third Master and the others are inside!" The maid led Gu Yunzhou up to the third floor, where the flow of people was noticeably less. Finally, the two of them slowly stopped in front of a carved wooden door. Inscribed on it were the words "Liuxia Pavilion" in elegant handwriting, reminiscent of a fairy. The door was tightly closed, but the faint sound of conversation could be heard from within.

"Thank you for showing the way, young lady." Gu Yunzhou thanked the maid politely, then knocked on the door and walked in. There were four people sitting inside, and the one sitting at the top was Shan Ze.

"Brother Yunzhou, you are finally here!" Shan Ze smiled brightly and then introduced to everyone present, "Everyone, this is Gu Yunzhou, who amazed everyone at Qilianguan today with a poem that 'Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles.' He is also a new friend I made today!" When Shan Ze saw the person coming, his joking voice paused and turned into surprise. He stood up and introduced Gu Yunzhou to everyone with full sincerity.

Gu Yunzhou stepped into the room and bowed slightly to everyone, saying: "I am Gu Yunzhou, a young man, nice to meet you all. Brother Shan, you are too kind. Yunzhou is just an insignificant scholar. How can I have a great reputation?" His voice was as gentle as jade, and there was a sense of indifference and modesty in his words, but it could not hide the tenacity and pride in his bones.

"So you are Gu Yunzhou, whom the Third Young Master has been praising just now. It's true that heroes emerge from youth. I really like your poem 'The Knight's Song'!" The first person to speak was a young man dressed in white brocade clothes. He held the wine cup lightly in his right hand, and his demeanor showed a free and unrestrained attitude.

"That's right, when the work is done, he will leave without any fame or achievements! Brother Gu is very talented, and this sentence really touches my heart!" The rest of the people also praised him.

"Haha, everyone, please stop praising Brother Yunzhou. Look at how shy he is, he's already embarrassed!" Shan Ze joked, his words full of affection and care for Gu Yunzhou. He led Gu Yunzhou to a specially reserved seat next to him and gestured for him to sit down first.

"Let me introduce you. This guy in white clothes who looks incredibly flamboyant is Wu Ziyu. The guy next to him is Zhuang Xian, and the youngest one is Jiang Liunian."

Shan Ze pointed at several people and introduced them one by one. As Shan Ze introduced them, the young men stood up and greeted them. After everyone sat down, Shan Ze shook a small bell on the table. Then the door was knocked and a pretty maid knocked on the door and walked in.

"Third Young Master, what do you want me to do?" The maid smiled sweetly and was very respectful.

"Today I have found a little brother, and I am so happy that I am going to use the Qionghua Order. Miss Fusu, please play a song for my brother!" Shan Ze went straight to the point. The Qionghua Order was a special honor specially established by the Qionghua Pavilion for distinguished guests. Its preciousness was beyond words.

It is divided into four orders: Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon. Only the top four on the monthly spending list, or those extraordinary people who have made outstanding contributions to Qionghua Pavilion, can have this privilege.

The Qionghua Order grants its holder a supreme privilege—the right to be called upon once a month. Within the Qionghua Pavilion, whether they are renowned scholars and distinguished guests, recruited with significant financial resources, or talented individuals and beautiful women, each of them must sign a contract in advance, unconditionally obligated to perform once called upon by the order's holder.

Everyone must follow this agreement - it is precisely because of such strict and unique regulations and measures that the reputation of Qionghua Pavilion has become increasingly famous, attracting many young men from aristocratic families to spend money there.

"Sir, please wait a moment. Allow this servant to quickly go and respectfully invite Miss Fusu. She will be here soon." With these words, the maid bowed lightly and hurried downstairs, disappearing in a flash.

"Today is truly a blessing. It is thanks to Brother Yunzhou that we are able to listen to the music of the renowned Fusu master, who moved the Seventh Gate. It is truly a real treat for the ears!"

"Indeed, when it comes to refined tastes and opportunities, the Third Young Master is undoubtedly the leader. Master Fusu rarely shows up in public on ordinary days, but today, not only did we get to see him, but everyone in this building has also become an unforgettable story. This trip was well worth it!"

Following these words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heated. The young man named Wu Ziyu was even more impatient. Before anyone could say anything, he took the initiative to gently push open the window frame. Looking out the window, the stage downstairs came into view clearly.

At this moment, the woman in green who was dancing with a sword on the stage had disappeared. Under the stage, only the guests in the lobby could be heard whispering.

Just then, an elderly man with a genial smile walked onto the stage. He gently waved, and the chattering guests gradually quieted down, as if being gently drawn in by an invisible thread. This elderly man was none other than Feng Yun, the owner of the Qilianguan branch of the Qionghua Pavilion.

"I, Feng Yun, am honored to be here with all of you gentlemen. Today, I have come to announce a piece of good news. The holder of the Wind Order of our Qionghua Pavilion has personally invited Master Fusu to perform on stage and enjoy the heavenly music together!" As soon as these words were spoken, the guests in the hall were all in an uproar, followed by expressions of joy that were difficult to conceal, which were beyond words.

"Great! It's Master Fusu! I need to tell my friends quickly! I'm really lucky today!"

"It's no wonder it's the Third Young Master. He's been holding the four rank positions in Qionghua Pavilion for years. It's a coincidence that he came today!"

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm had been fully mobilized, the old man chuckled and slowly walked off the stage. As his figure gradually disappeared, a woman with a veil covering her face, like a fairy, stepped lightly onto the stage with a jade harp in her arms.

The woman's appearance instantly brought the atmosphere to a fever pitch. Cheers and conversations mingled, nearly overturning the entire Qionghua Pavilion.

However, when the woman sat down gracefully and touched the strings with her fingertips, the entire space seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible force. The noise instantly receded, leaving only a silence in which even the slight sound of a needle dropping could be clearly heard.

Inside the vast Qionghua Pavilion, all was silent, save for the delicate sound of a woman's fingertips plucking the strings, a melody resonating like the sounds of nature. But as the familiar melody slowly flowed, Gu Yunzhou's expression gradually grew more and more strange. Wasn't this the same "Ten Sides of Ambush" he had copied for Su Xuan back in the Qionghua Pavilion in Jinzhou County? Shopkeeper Hua was incredibly quick; it had already reached the distant Qilian Pass in just a few moments.

Yet, it must be said that Master Fusu lived up to his reputation. Her fingertips danced across the strings like flowing clouds and water, her technique breathtaking. As she closed her eyes, she seemed to be completely absorbed in the carnage of that rainy night. The listener's scalp tingled, yet they couldn't help but want to continue listening. The trembling feeling of walking on the edge of life and death was incredibly captivating.
