Chapter 55



Since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals

Unlike the Heroes List, the Beauty List only selects beauties from Taiyue, but it is equally all-encompassing and does not select people based on appearance!

First, Princess Yixiang Yue Hanxin.

Comment: She is so talented and humble, so rare! So rare! Although she is not a natural beauty, she is also a national beauty.

Second, Princess Anran Yue Caiwei.

Comment: The daughter of Prince Ning, who never married, traveled the world with her five-inch sword, showing her unparalleled brilliance!

Third, Han Zhiruo, the Phoenix of Jiangdong.

Comment: Han Wenguang's sister, whose talent and fame surpassed her brother, and whose reputation spread throughout Jiangdong.

Fourth, the stunningly beautiful Chen Yuanyuan.

Comment: All the beauties on Xuanwu Lake are jealous of her, and Yuanyuan's song captivates the whole country. She deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in Taiyue!

Fifth, Liu Buqi, the fox spirit from Youzhou.

Comment: A master of poetry and prose, he is mysterious, unconventional, and unconventional! If you can master this, you can rule the world!

Sixth, Shangguan Luoyang, a talented woman from Guanzhong.

Comment: Yan moved the Jing River, and thus the Wei River began to be distinguished.

Seventh, the master of scriptures Xu Ningmei.

Comment: All the scriptures in the world come from Lushan, and Xu Ningmei is the chief of Lushan.

Eighth, Xuanwu Jinghong Zhao Feiyan.

Comment: Zhao Feiyan, a famous courtesan in the capital, dances with her canopy flying high.

Ninth, the Shadowless Sword Master Gongsun Wuhui.

Comment: As his name suggests, he never regrets his sword! You only see his sword, not his person!

Tenth, be as good as men and women.

Comment: A female general from Jinzhong, a proud and charming soldier! Who says the battlefield belongs to men?

This list did not cause much controversy. Although Liu Buqi was on the list for the first time, as time went by.

She went to Jinan alone and turned the tide to take back the Lu family! Her deeds of conquering Yehe with one strategy and helping her husband to take back Youzhou were widely circulated, and she was well-deserved of the reputation.

But Liu Buqi himself was a little troubled! "Sister, do you know who made this list?"

The comments on the beauty list about myself can be said to be very sharp. In just a few words, I almost summed up my behavior. Such a person must be very good at understanding people's hearts!

Yue Hanxin answered truthfully, "Sister Liu, Wansheng Tower receives rankings regularly, but for decades since the creation of the Heroes List and the Beauties List, no one in the capital knows who compiled them."

"However, it's certain that it wasn't written by one person; it was likely a group of people who gathered and compiled the information! Otherwise, the person who compiled the list couldn't have collected so many important world events in such a short period of time! Their sources are extensive and reliable, and their comments are often very insightful!"

Liu Buqi fell into deep thought. If the group that wrote the list said they had no purpose at all, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death!

A person may do a thankless task for decades just for the sake of interest, but a team will never do such a thing without any benefits.

But what is the purpose of this list?

The crowd downstairs had begun to show signs of dispersing, and the owner of Wanshenglou had come to the private room again at this time, asking the two if they were willing to show off their beauty!

Liu Buqi didn't care much about such things and always followed the orders of the "landlord" Yue Hanxin.

Yue Hanxin is usually an easy-going person, so she agreed readily.

So the shopkeeper quickly ran downstairs and stood on the platform to announce that Youzhou Spirit Fox and Princess Yixiang were upstairs at the moment, which caused another commotion.

Yue Hanxin pushed open the screen in front of her and waved to those downstairs, sparking cheers.

Liu Buqi was both amused and confused. How could this be like a fan meeting!

Well, it’s also nice to enjoy the treatment of having the streets empty and people lining the streets cheering. At least I can satisfy the feeling of being a big star!

So he just sat quietly in front of the window and watched how Yue Hanxin "humbled herself to follow others".

The owner of Wanshenglou was very good at creating an atmosphere. Seeing that Liu Buqi seemed a little bored, he took the lead in shouting and asked Liu Buqi to write a poem.

The comment that Youzhou Linghu was a "master of poetry and prose" was definitely not groundless. At that moment, shouts rose one after another, and the waves were louder than the other.

Yue Hanxin's eyes were also full of anticipation, and her love for poetry had penetrated into her bones!

Liu Buqi shook his head helplessly. "Literary Thief" is indeed a compulsory course for time travelers!

"Shopkeeper, if I really write a poem here, won't Shopkeeper Zhu from Youzhou never let me enter Desheng Tower again?"

The "celebrity effect" of composing poetry on the tower is very scary. The coincidence of the two beauties on today's beauty list has already caused a sensation.

In addition, the poem he composed would surely be a famous piece that would be passed down for thousands of years in another world. I am afraid that it would make Wansheng Tower even more famous. He is also one of the shareholders of Desheng Tower, and the largest one!

It’s better not to do things that benefit others but not yourself!

When the owner of Wanshenglou saw that Liu Buqi directly pointed out his little thoughts, his face turned red and he continued.

"Madam Liu, you're joking. Today I'm lucky enough to have a beautiful lady come up to the tower, and it's also the day the double list is announced. It's such a blessing. If I don't write a poem for it, wouldn't it be a pity?"

When the shopkeeper told Liu Buqi about these two lists, he had an idea. No matter what the purpose of the person behind the list was, he could definitely take advantage of this "brand" effect to get a share of the pie!

"The shopkeeper has given me such a gracious invitation. If I were to be petty, I'd probably be accused of being arrogant and conceited! Well, I'll leave half of my poem here today, waiting for the great writer from Taiyue to complete it!"

With a "wow", Wansheng Tower was in an uproar. Youzhou Linghu, one of the newly-minted Ten Beauties of Taiyue, not only wanted to write a poem, but also wanted to leave half of the poem to challenge the literary giants in Beijing!

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and the whole scene became silent, for fear of disturbing the elegant mood of the poet!

"Let's call the poem 'Reflections on Viewing the List of Heroes and Beauties from Wansheng Tower'!"

"I am not very talented, so I will leave you half of a poem. The original will be kept in Desheng Tower in the East Market. Anyone who wants to complete it can go and write it on it!"

The owner of Wanshenglou laughed bitterly, thinking he was lifting a rock that only hurt himself! With just a few words, Liu Buqi had diverted today's attention to Deshenglou. He had indeed taken an unconventional approach!

Liu Buqi achieved his goal and said no more nonsense. He just recited a fragment of an ancient poem in a cold and clear voice, "Since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white hair in the world!"

At the same time, he wrote on the rice paper borrowed from Yue Hanxin with flamboyant hands!

Then he handed the calligraphy to Bai Jinjing, asked her to go downstairs to show it to others, and then send it to Desheng Building.

There were many literati and poets among the people downstairs. When they first heard the fragments of Liu Buqi's work, they felt that it was too straightforward and did not contain any well-known allusions.

But after reading it a few times, I just felt that it was catchy and profound! Combined with the title of the poem, it gave me an inexplicable feeling of sadness!

Over the past few decades, countless heroes and beauties from all over the world have been listed on the two lists of Wansheng Tower!

But how many of them had a happy ending? It really is true that “one is not allowed to see gray hair in this world”!

It is really not easy to complete this meaningful fragment!
