Chapter 871: This game is no match

It has to be said that Ouyang Ming, as the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty this year, is not low in talent and learning. At least he is among the best among the scholars here. Otherwise, he would not be so well received by these scholars.

While he was taking the piano, Mu Baifei, who was watching the fight between the two, said, "Brother Li, are you confident that you can win this round?" Although he and Ouyang Ming did not hate each other, he was more hopeful in comparison.

Li Yan can win.

Li Yan smiled and said: "It's hard to say, if nothing happens, we probably won't be able to win this game." [

Mu Baifei thought that Li Yan couldn't say anything about the unexpected victory, but after hearing it clearly, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What does Brother Li mean by this? With Brother Li's talent, it shouldn't be difficult to win against Ouyang Ming, right?"

."

Li Yan said: "It depends on the situation. There is a so-called specialization in arts. I am not a scholar who immerses himself in studying. How can I learn everything? The music is my weakness. I am not proficient in it, especially the piano. I have two eyes."

Yihei knows nothing, but I heard you say it before, and it was very good. I wanted to be patient and learn the art, but I was so busy that I forgot about it."

Mu Baifei suddenly couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "I saw that Brother Li was calm and confident, and Brother Li was completely sure. I didn't expect that Brother Li didn't have any confidence at all. I admire Brother Li for this.

Determination, but if this continues, Brother Li is very likely to lose. Although victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, I hope that Brother Li can win the battle, so don't let me down."

"Haha, it's hard to say. Although we may not win, we may not lose. Aren't there still two games? Why don't Brother Mu temporarily teach me some piano skills so that I can learn quickly?" Li Yan replied.

Mubai Fei shook his head helplessly: "No, no, it's too late to teach now, and Brother Li can't even get started with piano music. These talented people must have seen that Brother Li is a novice who has never played piano before. That's all."

Brother Li will lose to Ouyang Ming at one point, and this move is also suspected of cheating. Although you and I have been close friends for a long time, I can't help Brother Li in this matter. If Brother Li is interested in learning piano in the future, you can come to me."

Li Yan smiled. This is Mu Baifei's character. He is pedantic like some old gentlemen, but only in this way can he show his true character. What he just said was just casual talk, and it was not

I have no intention of actually learning the piano live, so I will play it now.

Soon, the young man in gray robe ran over holding a crystal clear jade box. Through the transparent jade box, everyone could clearly see that there was a simple lyre inside.

"Master, the piano has been brought."

Ouyang Ming nodded with great etiquette, straightened his clothes, washed his hands, and then used the incense burner to dry them, slowly and leisurely without being careless at all.

Li Yan knew that Ouyang Ming was deliberately stalling for time, but the time was really too late, because among the etiquette given to him by Su Liangqi, burning incense and purifying one's hands before playing the piano was a normal behavior, just like getting dressed in the morning.

Generally, if you say anything wrong, you will immediately be criticized by many scholars.

The jade box was opened and a seven-foot-long piano appeared. There were seven fiery red strings on it, which looked like seven thin flames burning. It was very charming, and the wood used as the piano body was also very particular.

The texture actually looks like auspicious clouds, and the pattern is

The texture is extremely fine and seamless. Li Yan can guess that the age of this wood is at least a thousand years without looking carefully. Although wood that is hundreds of years old is relatively common in this world and can be found in deep mountains and swamps, it is suitable for making pianos.

Wood that is thousands of years old is very rare.

"This Qin is called the Xuanyun Fire Fox Qin. I bought it from a stranger on a trip. The seven strings on it were made from the eyebrows of the monster Red Eyed Fire Fox. As for the body of the Qin, if I check the classics below, it is very likely that it is correct.

It's the Cangyun wood that has been peerless for a long time." Ouyang Ming slowly brought up the guqin in his hand, as if he wanted to tell the guqin like a story, but his purpose of deliberately slowing down the competition was very obvious. As long as he is not stupid,

You can see it all.

But although he understood in his heart, he couldn't say anything at the time. After all, there was nothing wrong with what he did. It was not the kind of deliberate dilly-dallying.

Li Yan just watched everything Ouyang Ming did calmly, without saying a word, without the slightest sign of anxiety. In his opinion, these were just some tricks, and they were not worthy of publicity. He really thought that he could spend his time like this.

How long does it take to achieve your desired goal? It’s simply a joke.

Ouyang Ming was also secretly observing Li Yan while the etiquette master was doing everything, but unfortunately he didn't find any strange color on Li Yan's face. He couldn't help but secretly thought: "I'm really calm, but

If you are not in a hurry, I will be even less anxious. Let’s see who is more patient.”

Although he deliberately delayed the time, Ouyang Ming did not do it too obviously, at least it would not make people think that you did it on purpose. Soon he asked the boy to get a table, then laid out a bamboo mat, lit a pot of incense, and then

I sat upright, calmed down my mood, pondered for a while, and finally raised my hands and pressed them on the piano. Then I felt it was inappropriate and adjusted the tune a bit, and then I started playing.

Being delayed for half an hour, Li Yan still waited patiently. However, when Ou Yangming started to play, he said: "I think there is no need to compete in this game. I will admit defeat."

Ouyang Ming's hand that he had just put on suddenly froze, and finally he twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely. The previous joy caused by delaying time was gone in his heart. A feeling of humiliation came to his heart. He had been preparing for so long.

When you are in excellent condition and you suddenly stop competing and admit defeat, what does this mean? Isn't it a clear humiliation?

Li Yan continued: "I admit defeat in this round. I should give the question in the next round. I don't know if Ouyang Ming is ready." [

At this time, Ouyang Zhong suddenly yelled: "You couldn't have said it earlier, you had to wait until I was ready."

When the scholar next to him saw Li Yan like this, he couldn't help but secretly thought: "This Li Yan is really amazing. This slap was so loud. It seems that Ou Yangming's preparation for so long was just a fool's errand. He only wanted to see him here alone."

acting."

"I wonder why Brother Li suddenly stopped using it?" Ouyang Ming asked pretending to be calm even though he was angry at that moment.

Li Yan said: "It's nothing. I think it's getting late. If you delay it for so long, I'm afraid I won't have time to finish the remaining two games, so I gave up."

It was originally a losing round, but when he said this, many people felt that Li Yan really didn't have time, so he just gave up. But this Ouyang Ming clearly did it deliberately and was not happy at all. Don't say anything in half an hour.

One song has to be finished, even if it is three songs, so no one will say that Li Yan is unreasonable. After all, you have given so much time, and you just wasted it. You can't blame others, because Li Yan was also standing by and waiting.
