Chapter 64 I promise

Subtitle of this chapter: I promise not to be Pushkin!

………………………………………

"Among the cultural people who died in duels, the Russian poet Pushkin is well-known. The famous duel on February 8, 1837 eventually caused the "Sun of Russian Poetry" to fall. But he was the most famous poet in the duel world, but he was not the most famous duel among poets. The Italian poet Phyllis Carlo Cavallotti, who fought more than thirty times in his life, was the most famous gladiator among poets. Finally, in Rome in 1868, he died in a duel."

"Marcel Proust (1872-1922), the author of "Remembrance of the Years", knows his homosexual orientation, although he has not come out. As for ordinary readers, even if they don't know before, they probably know it in their hearts when they see the volume "Sodom and Gomorrah".

"However, because of the sound of Chuss, Proust actually fought a duel because someone 'smeared' him and someone else's genius. He and a literary critic named Jean-Loma took turns shooting in a forest in France, but the two writers fired three rounds of guns without any harm. So they shook hands and made peace."

"Ben Jonson (1572-1637) was a contemporary figure of Shakespeare. Like most playwrights at that time, he occasionally played guest actors. So Shakespeare played the role in his play, and he also played the role in Shakespeare's play."

"He was arrested for killing his opponent in duel. In order to dismiss the charges against him, Jonson showed his talents in court: writing. Prove that he could not only read Latin, but also write Latin, and he could ask for a special defense in court and enjoy the interests of the clergy. This means that since Jonson is as knowledgeable as the clergy, he will be treated leniently. In the end, Jonson was really released after only staying in prison for a few weeks."

"Not only the West, but also the East's literati have made duels. The most famous duels are Xiao Jun and Nie Gannu, and Ma Jifeng and Zhang Spring Bridge on the other."

"On October 19, 1936, Mr. Lu Xun died of illness in Shanghai. A few days later, in order to express his grief, Xiao Jun burned three short-term publications "Zhongliu", "Writer" and "Translation" in front of Lu Xun's tomb. This matter was soon discovered by Zhang Spring Bridge, who was active in the Shanghai literary and artistic circles at that time and his literary friend Ma Jifeng. They wrote an article together and published it in the "Da Evening News", calling Xiao Jun a "Lu Men's general" and Lu Xun's "filial son and virtuous grandson". Burning the publications was a stupid act of feudal superstition."

"Xiao Jun was very angry after seeing this article and was planning to write an article to fight back. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was too boring to have a lawsuit with them. It would be more straightforward to solve it with his fist and foot skills. So he found the other two and made an appointment with a duel..."

"Of course, the most famous duel among the Eastern literati is Mr. Yuan Yanshu, who has the 'master of the Republic of China' and the 'last crazy student in China'..."

——Excerpt from "The Literary and Duel" (Author's Note: It is said that Wang Shuo and another contemporary writer Zhou Sesse also made an appointment for "Lao Xu". However, these two bigwigs only talked but didn't practice, and finally didn't fight, so Murong stopped writing. By the way, you all know who Lao Xu belongs to.)

"Ltd Colonel Alexander, the time, location and way of duel, I will let my assistant notify you."

Things are settled, and our Master Yuan can't stay there anymore.

He stroked his right hand and bowed to everyone around him, and nodded specifically to Mr. Hughes, then took his duel assistant to go away...

"Mr. Yuan, please wait!"

Yuan Yan, who had just walked out of the door, suddenly turned around and snorted coldly in her heart. It turned out that it was this guy...

"Who are you?"

The visitor was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, "Ah... I'm sorry, my name is John Edgar Hoover. Mr. Yuan, can I speak with one step?"

"Yes, yes." Master Yuan, who was full of displeasure, nodded and walked to a tree on the side of the road and said, "Mr. Hoover, do you have any advice?"

Hoover lowered his voice and asked, "Sir, don't get me wrong..."

He paused and said in a strange tone: "I'm helping you. You are the investigator of the SCP Foundation. I believe you will definitely be able to handle this duel, so I spoke."

I understood, this guy still couldn't understand his own way. He wanted to try to explore and not offend him, so he came out to explain to himself.

"Haha..." Yuan Yan chuckled and said in a playful tone, "Mr. Hoover, I really want to thank you. Don't worry, you will see my strength as a junior investigator of the SCP Foundation."

"That's good, that's good." Hoover pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly, "Then I wish you a victory."

"Of course!" Master Yuan's heart moved, he patted his shoulder and said, "Mr. Hoover, if there is any bet, you can boldly press on me. I promise...you can make a small fortune."

"Well..." Seeing this Chinese man full of confidence, Hoover had to laugh dryly, "Thank you Mr. Yuan for your tips, I will..."

"Neo, where are you here?"

At this moment, a beautiful figure hurriedly walked out of the dance scene.

"Emma, ​​are you here too? By the way, where is your father?" Yuan Yan suddenly looked closely and found that he was indeed an old acquaintance. Is their father and daughter here to come here to interview the inauguration ceremony?

Miss Pulitzer panted and said, "Neo, we just saw you, and we encountered this when we were about to say hello to you. So...my father is now interviewing the British lieutenant colonel."

She immediately changed her tone and asked seriously: "Mr. Yuan, I want to interview you about this duel."

This is a big news. These two professional journalists from newspaper families won’t jump to interview immediately.

After passing through, Master Yuan, who was always determined to do big news, felt a sense of openness in his heart, and he did create another big news!

So he nodded and said, "Emma, ​​you'll follow me these days, I promise...you can get a scoop!"

Yuan Yan suddenly turned around and saw that Mr. Hoover was gone, so he said to the man and woman: "Let's go back to my hotel first, and we'll be very busy next!"

When they entered the lobby of the Rosewood Hotel, the Frank manager immediately greeted him: "Mr. Yuan, you have your phone number, and you have a lot of phone number! This is the list."

"Thank you." Our Master Yuan took the order and saw it... It turns out that they are all reporters. These people are worthy of being a dog. They sniffed the fishy smell and rushed over. However, in addition to the reporter, there is also an acquaintance.

The first thing he did when he returned to the room was to call the acquaintance: "Hello, Mr. Roosevelt? I'm Neo-Yuan..."

"Well, have you heard that I'm going to have a duel? Hahaha, your news is really fast..."

"Oh, you know Sir Hall, and you have a good relationship, so you have to help me reconcile..."

"Hey, thank you for your help, but that's not necessary..."

"Mr. Roosevelt, I promise... I can win!"

……………………

Unbelievable that this broken book actually has plural female readers...

Does this mean that Murong should be a female player?
