I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Gu Yunzhou's heart settled slightly, a flicker of light flashing through his mind. But when he tried to investigate further, the subtle hint vanished like the wind. He might have met this person before.

Jiang Liunian looked towards the darkening sky, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable determination: "Since the threat of monsters has been temporarily quelled by the seniors, they should have no time to send troops to pursue them in the short term. However, things are unpredictable, and the longer the delay, the greater the risk of reunion. Brother Yunzhou, we must return to Qilianguan as soon as possible, otherwise something might happen!" Jiang Liunian looked at the sky and suddenly spoke to remind him.

Captain Zheng was the first to react when these words were spoken: "That's right, Brother Yun, we can chat later if there is a chance, but the mission is more important." The few words that the two had confided before made Captain Zheng realize the importance of the matter.

"Yes, leave quickly. We will also take a detour. As for Captain Fang, if you want to continue the mission, it's best to avoid the Huangshi Gorge area. That place is now densely populated by the demon and barbarian tribes!"

Although Captain Fang and his team were seriously injured, after taking the healing pills, they were nourished by the spiritual energy, which accelerated the healing of their wounds. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to recover most of their strength in half a day.

Upon hearing this, Captain Fang and the others were horrified. When had so many demons and barbarians gathered in Huangshi Gorge? Their team had originally headed to that area to gather Mimi grass, but now it seemed that their plans would need to be drastically altered.

This time, it was not just Gu Yunzhou and Jiang Liunian who were separated. Captain Zheng vaguely realized that the two must have discovered the big secret of the Yaoman tribe, which was why they were hunted down by them. Therefore, he specially led a team to send the two to Qilianguan. Only when they saw the majestic city walls of Qilianguan in the distance did they turn around and leave to continue their mission.

"Thank you, Captain Zheng, for your escort!" Bidding farewell to Captain Zheng and his group, Gu Yunzhou and the others hurried towards the city gate without further delay. Thanks to Jiang Liunian's tactical assistance, they were able to swiftly pass through the city gates and soon met a fourth-rank scholar and deputy general in charge of the Seventh Link Pass. If Gu Yunzhou had relied on his own strength, he would have had to go through numerous layers of escalating responsibilities, a lengthy and tedious process. How could he have reached the crucial figure who could influence the situation so quickly? Therefore, he had to rely on Jiang Liunian, a member of a noble family, for assistance.

"Is what you said true? I felt that those evil and barbaric people had only gathered together during this period of time and had not acted rashly. I was wondering why. It turned out that they were holding back such a big move. Huangshi Gorge, ah Huangshi Gorge, they have such a big appetite. Aren't they afraid of bursting their stomachs and hurting their teeth?" Although this Deputy General Zhao was a fourth-rank Confucian scholar, his temperament was like boiling oil in a raging fire. He slammed the table suddenly, stood up suddenly, and his face was full of anger.

Jiang Liunian responded frankly, his eyes sincere. "How could I dare to lie to Lieutenant General Zhao? Before I left, I secretly arranged for a three-eyed beast to accompany me for protection. However, since this skill consumes a large amount of spiritual energy, I didn't dare to pry into it easily."

After saying this, Lieutenant General Zhao's tense face suddenly relaxed, a look of approval crossing his face. Without hesitation, he pulled a small porcelain bottle from his chamber and gently handed it to Jiang Liunian. "This is the Fuwen Pill. Take it immediately. I've heard that you possess a unique literary skill. Today, you've truly achieved a remarkable feat!"

Although the porcelain bottle in Deputy General Zhao's hand was inconspicuous, what was hidden inside was extraordinary. When Jiang Liunian poured it out, only three crystal clear pills fell into his palm.

However, this pill is also very rare. Even Deputy General Zhao, the commander of the defense of Qilianguan and a fourth-rank scholar, can only be given one pill every month. This shows how precious it is.

"Thank you, Lieutenant General Zhao! I'm deeply grateful!" Under Yun Zhou's gaze, filled with curiosity and amazement, Jiang Liunian unhesitatingly took a pill, gently placed it in his mouth, and swallowed it. Suddenly, the air seemed to be disturbed by an invisible force, and scenes gradually emerged, like signals from across the ocean, appearing and disappearing, intermittent, and not very clear.

"Alas, the distance is still too great..." Jiang Liunian gazed at the blurry image, a trace of unconcealable regret between his brows. Before he finished speaking, the flickering image, as if responding to his thoughts, gradually stabilized. Though still a little hazy, it was much clearer than before. The intermittently flickering image finally stabilized. However, compared to the clear version Gu Yunzhou and the others had watched earlier, the image quality during the live broadcast was significantly worse, and even the sound was intermittent.

"Every time I use this skill, the amount of spiritual energy I need is three times greater than the previous time. Otherwise, I would have used it after leaving Yellowstone Gorge. Unfortunately, the Three-Eyed Zhi can't mark its position too far from the target!"

Jiang Liunian still felt it was a pity. With the first opening, thanks to the supplement of Gu Yunzhou's literary energy, he could barely maintain the movement of the Three-Eyed Monster. However, the terrifying literary energy required for the second opening was not something that a small eighth-grade scholar like Gu Yunzhou could afford. Because of this, although Jiang Liunian had the intention, he had to suppress his eagerness along the way and never mentioned this matter to Gu Yunzhou.

Although he was from a prominent clan and had seen and consumed Fuwen Dan before, it was so rare that even he only had two in his collection, all of which he had used up during past missions. He had intended to exchange it for another when he had accumulated enough merit points, but he knew that things were unpredictable and plans were always changing.

"Boy, your literary skills are truly extraordinary. Have you ever thought about joining our border defense forces? Oh, forget it. If I really recruit you, I'm afraid that old man Jiang from your family will come to my house every day and nag me endlessly. Just pretend I never mentioned it!"

Looking at the scene before them, although not entirely clear, several people recognized it immediately. It was the scenery inside Huangshi Gorge. Deputy General Zhao's eyes lit up as he looked at Jiang Liunian and began to recruit him. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly reacted and withdrew. This scene left Gu Yunzhou speechless. This old man Jiang seemed to be an elder in Jiang Liunian's family.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lieutenant General Zhao. My family has already made arrangements. After I have gained some experience in the Seventh Company, I will go home to continue my studies. Thank you so much for your kindness!" Jiang Liunian was also stunned. He could recruit him in person and then go back on his word. However, he didn't have any thoughts. The Border Defense Force was a good place in the eyes of others, but as a direct descendant of the Jiang family, his family had already made arrangements for his future.

"Okay, what are these guys doing?" Deputy General Zhao waved his hand casually. He was really confused. How could he recruit people from such a big family?
