"Okay, if you can write a poem that satisfies everyone, then I will buy you ten strings of candied haws." Seeing Lian'er nodding and agreeing, Bai Yu smiled slightly at Tan Zong and generously doubled the number of candied haws.

"Really?" Tan Zong suddenly showed a look of joy on his face when he heard this, and he looked at Bai Yu seriously, "It's a puppy."

"If you don't believe it, let's pull the hook." Bai Yu smiled sly and stretched out the slender little finger of Tan Zong's right hand.

Tan Zong then grinned, hooked his fingers with Bai Yu solemnly, then stood up, holding the leftover chicken leg in his hand, and paced there as if it was like this, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.

Seeing this, Huangfu Hao frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. He was very dissatisfied with Deputy Gang Leader Liu's madman, Tan Zong, to compete with him, and even if he wins, he will be unfair.

"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and Peach Blossom Fairy under Taohua Temple..." Just as Huangfu Hao was about to speak and refused to compete with Tan Zong, Tan Zong was already shaking his head and recited his poem there.

After hearing Tan Zong's poems, Huangfu Hao couldn't help but be stunned. He not only felt a sense of arrogance from Tan Zong's poems, but also felt madness. The artistic conception of the poems made him stunned for a moment.

The people at the scene also showed a look of surprise. No one expected that Tan Zong could write a poem with peach blossoms in such a short time, and it was a catchy and profound poem.

"...Don't laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at me for not seeing through it; I don't see the tombs of heroes in Wuling, and I can make a field without flowers or wine." As everyone was watching, Tan Zong bit a bite of the chicken leg, and while chewing it, he recited Tang Bohu's "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple".

Tang Bohu's song "The Song of Peach Blossoms" was very popular on the Internet in later generations. Tan Zong memorized it when he was bored. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy here. So after Huang Weijie used the title "Peach Blossoms", he felt that the merit teaching was too weak this time, and he actually hit his hands. He didn't believe that Huangfu Hao could use "Peach Blossoms" to write a better poem than Tang Bohu's song "The Song of Peach Blossoms".

"What a 'tomb of a hero from Wuling, no flowers or wine to hoe the fields'!" Tan Zong shook his head and read the "Peach Blossom Temple Song", the room was silent, and people were savoring the unrestrained artistic conception expressed in this poem. After a long time, Deputy Gangmao Liu slapped the table and stood up, smiled and arched at Tan Zong, "Young Master Li, Liu has received teaching."

"Hey, are you convinced?" Tan Zong grinned at Deputy Gang Leader Liu, then turned to Huangfu Hao, pointed at him with the leftover chicken legs, and said carelessly, "If you don't agree, let's continue."

"Young Master Li is very talented, and he is willing to give in to the disadvantages." Huangfu Hao frowned and concentrated for a while, then smiled bitterly, and arched Tan Zong with a regular hand. This song "The Song of Peach Blossom Temple" has disturbed his mind, and he really has no confidence to make a good sentence that exceeds it.

"I won!" Tan Zong couldn't help but walk towards Bai Yu excitedly and said proudly, "Tomorrow you will buy me ten strings of candied haws."

Bai Yu looked at Tan Zong in surprise. She never expected that Tan Zong would have this move. Feng Qingyun defeated the famous talented man Huang Fu Hao in Shuchuan, and did not give Huangfu Hao any chance.

"Okay, let's go buy it tomorrow." When Tan Zong asked, Bai Yu immediately came to his senses and said to him with a smile. Tan Zong had destroyed the majesty of the merit religion this time, making Dongting Lake proud.

"I wonder what this young master Li calls him?" At this time, Huangfu Hao looked at Bai Yu and asked in a deep voice. Since he had lost, he had to know who he had lost to.

"Li Haoyi." Bai Yu pondered for a moment and replied in a sweet voice. Anyway, Tan Zong's name is no longer a secret in Dongting Lake, so she is not afraid to tell Huangfu Hao.

"Li Haoyi!" Huangfu Hao couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this. He had not heard that there was such a person in the literary world in Jiangnan.

However, Huangfu Hao quickly felt relieved. The so-called mountain is higher than that of a mountain, and there are more powerful players among the strong. Jiangnan is a place with outstanding people and a place with a good person. There are one or two knowledgeable people. It is a very normal thing for a noble person to hide among the people. Moreover, he felt a wild and unruly atmosphere from the song "The Song of Peach Blossoms". People with this kind of mind will not care about fame, so he just doesn't know it.

With Huangfu Hao's defeat, Deputy Gangmaster Liu just put away his intention to give Lian'er, Huang Weijie and others a warning from the literary talent. After all, even Huangfu Hao was defeated, who would still have the confidence to defeat Tan Zong: Although Tan Zong was stupid, his instinct was still there, and no one wanted to come forward to humiliate himself.

After the dinner, everyone returned to the living room to have tea and chat. Deputy Gang Leader Liu briefly introduced the current situation in Huguang to Huang Weijie, Lianer and others.

According to Deputy Gangmaster Liu, the situation of Meritual Deeds in Huguang was very good, and people from all over the country actively joined the church, which made the power of Meritual Deeds continue to grow.

Although the imperial envoy Guan Haishan dispatched troops and generals in Wuchang City and put on an stance to encircle and suppress the rioters, Deputy Gang Leader Liu said that the meritorious teaching had been fully responded. If the government army dared to invade, then there would be no return.

Although Huang Weijie, Lian'er and others disagreed with the talk of Deputy Gang Leader Liu, they knew that this was Deputy Gang Leader Liu's bluffing, but they could not express it. They watched Deputy Gang Leader Liu's performance calmly.

"Young Master Huang, Dongting Lake has a superior geographical location. Chenglingji is like a lock, guarding the Yangtze River waters. If the Huang Gang Master can seal the waters of the Yangtze River waters based on Dongting Lake, then the official army will have to rely on land to replenish food and grass, and the land is our world. As long as the official army's food and grass supply can be cut off, they will be defeated without fighting." After taking a sip of tea, Deputy Gang Master Liu looked at Huang Weijie with a smile.

"Deputy Gangmaster Liu's words are reasonable, but Wuchang City and Changsha City are stationed in Dashun's navy. Once there is a sudden movement in the Yangtze River waters, these two major navy leaders will definitely come to encircle and suppress. The Dongting Lake Water Gang is weak. If you say goodbye to two, you will have no chance of winning even if you face the Changsha Navy alone." Huang Weijie was surprised when he heard this. He never expected that Deputy Gangmaster Liu would have the idea of ​​Dongting Lake.

"Young Master Huang's words are wrong." Deputy Gangmaster Liu had long expected Huang Weijie to shirk responsibility, so he said with a smile, "The Ten Owls of Dongting are powerful and powerful in the waters of Dongting Lake. They are all heroes who stand tall and stand tall. They are even more than one good at fighting in the waters. With the convenience of the terrain, they are still more than enough to deal with the two navy troops who have not fought for a long time."

"If the Huang Gang Master makes great contributions, the deputy gang leader will report to the gang leader that when a major event is achieved in the future, what's the harm of the Huang Gang Master, let alone the prefect or the six subordinates, is it even the six subordinates' officials?" After pondering for a moment, Deputy gang leader Liu's eyes flashed and he looked at Huang Weijie meaningfully.

Huang Weijie couldn't help but be shocked. Deputy Gangmaster Liu made up his mind to drag Dongting Lake into the water. Although his previous words were full of compliments to Dongting Lake, Huang Weijie clearly understood what he meant: If he made meritorious service, he would naturally be promoted and wealthy, but if he did not face the Dashun Naval Division, the consequences would be very serious.

"What a vicious heart, isn't this let Dongting Lake die?" Tan Zong shook his head secretly. He found that Deputy Gangmao Liu was cruel and wanted to make Dongting Lake a cannon fodder and consume the imperial navy. No matter how familiar the water bandits in Dongting Lake are, they will find it difficult to escape the joint encirclement of the Wuchang Navy and the Changsha Navy.

"The decent wish of Deputy Gangmaster Liu, I will tell my father that I think my father will agree with Deputy Gangmaster Liu's suggestion." Huang Weijie decided to adopt the delay tactic and said to Deputy Gangmaster Liu with a smile, pushing the blame on Huang Haibo.

"It's so good." Deputy Gangmaster Liu nodded slightly when he heard this and said with a smile, "The fighter's opportunity is fleeting. I hope Huang Juan can inform the Huang Gangmaster of this matter as soon as possible."

After about a cup of tea, Huang Weijie, Lian'er and his group said goodbye and left. Deputy Gangmaster Liu asked the young master in white to lead them to the gate of the yard.

"Dad, why are you so polite to those lake bandits?" After sending Huang Weijie and Lian'er away, the young man in white sent the woman in blue dress back to the room, and then came to the study of Deputy Gangmaster Liu, who was sitting behind the desk reading. He asked Deputy Gangmaster Liu in confusion.

"Kun'er, there has been news from Beijing. Let's be sure to attack the official army in Huguang and make things worse." Deputy Gangmaster Liu put down the book in his hand and looked at the young master in white with great worries. "Those victims are okay to deal with local civil war. Once Guan Haishan mobilizes the city defense force, the situation we face will be even more serious."

The young master in white is Liu Kun, the second son of Deputy Leader Liu. Because of his cleverness, he is deeply loved by Deputy Leader Liu. He often hones him and has high hopes for him.

"Dad, the situation in Huguang is very good for us now. There are millions of victims who have defected to us. No matter how strong the official army is, it cannot stop so many people. In fact, we are not at a disadvantage in the official army." Liu Kun sat down on the chair beside him and said enthusiastically, "If the child is allowed to command, then the official army will definitely be wiped out."

"The reason why we can win over so many victims is entirely because we have food in our hands. If they knew that Guan Haishan was sending food to provide disaster relief in Wuchang Prefecture, how many people would follow us?" Deputy Gangmaster Liu knew that his son was arrogant and asked him for a fight. He put down the book in his hand and said to Liu Kun, "If we cannot defeat the official army as soon as possible, once the disaster relief matters spread among the victims, I am afraid that the victims would disperse and surrender to the official army by then."

"Dad, you want those people in Dongting Lake to attract the attention of the government army, and then defeat them in one fell swoop while the government army is unprepared!" Liu Kun understood and couldn't help but say in surprise. This was completely to let those people in Dongting Lake die.

"We don't have many opportunities. Only by defeating the official army and boosting morale can we gain a foothold in Huguang." Deputy Gang Leader Liu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said expressionlessly. If it weren't for the plan of the merits in Dongting Lake, he would definitely give Lian'er and others some strength in secret, rather than trying to win over them like now.
