Confucian and Taoist scholar

The next day.

Du Ning got up early in the morning, personally drove a dragon carriage pulled by ten dragon horses, and followed the map to the capital of Liao Kingdom.

The dragon carriage drove on the street and became the focus of the readers coming and going.

Most people can recognize at a glance that this is the exclusive vehicle of the Duning family.

A dragon carriage can travel thousands of miles in a day, which is faster than a scholar's steady progress.

Dragon horses are very spiritual and know that their breed is more advanced than ordinary spiritual horses, so they all hold up their heads very proudly, showing the majesty of the dragon horse bloodline.

Whenever a carriage comes from the opposite direction, the horses and beasts pulling the carriage will lower their heads in fear after seeing Duning's dragon and horse.

The dragon horse looks like a horse with a pair of dragon horns, but it is a beast creature with part of the dragon blood. This aspect will always be unmatched by many horse beasts.

After Du Ning drove the dragon carriage out of Kongcheng, he drove on a very wide runway.

When the reins were slowly pulled, the ten dragon horses exuded a pure spiritual power in a tacit understanding, and then while maintaining a running state, their limbs left the ground and flew into the air.

While Du Ning was looking at the map, he drove the dragon carriage through the air.

Looking around, you can occasionally see a few scholars flying in the sky on Pingbuqingyun.

When they saw Du Ning's dragon carriage, they all showed envy and respect.

Even if those people don't know Du Ning, any scholar who can ride a dragon carriage is definitely not an ordinary person.

Ten dragons and horses show the dignity of status.

"Look, that looks like Lord Yunqi's dragon carriage. Where is he going?"

"You don't know? Jun Yunqi has issued a challenge to the Liao Kingdom for a literary fight. Today he went to the Guoxue Palace in the capital of the Liao Kingdom to fight for a literary fight in the Hanlin Academy. This matter has long been known to everyone."

"It would be too much for Mr. Yunqi to fight against the Liao Kingdom at this time and suppress the reputation of the Liao Kingdom's literary world."

"Tch! The people of the Liao Kingdom are trying every means to slander Yun Qijun's literary name, which is even more extreme. You have to know that Du Ning is a noble scholar now. How can he tolerate the repeated insults from the Liao Kingdom? If it were me, I would have to

Counterattack against the Liao literary world."

"Then I won't go to Jingguo. I will immediately go to Liaoguo to watch the battle. This is something worthy of being recorded in the annals of history. You must not miss it."

"Hey, wait for me, I'm going too!"

After learning about Du Ning's intention, some scholars changed their direction one by one, followed the dragon carriage and flew together to the Liao Kingdom to watch the literary fight.

…………

By about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Du Ning arrived safely outside the Liao capital and entered through the city gate.

When Duning's dragon carriage appeared on the streets of the Liao capital, the nearby Liao people instantly became excited.

"This is Lord Yunqi's dragon carriage. Sure enough, he has come to our Liao Kingdom to fight!"

"A cockroach shakes a tree, and he does not know his own capabilities. He alone wants to defeat our Liao literary world? What a dream!"

"We, the Liao Kingdom, have already prepared ten Hanlin officials waiting at the Guoxue Palace. I want to see how he wins!"

Many people from the Liao Kingdom pointed, some showed a little anger, some felt a little contempt, and some looked at Duning's dragon carriage with extremely mocking expressions.

The capital of the Liao Kingdom is particularly lively today. When they heard that Du Ning was going to fight against the Liao Kingdom, countless scholars came from all over the country to watch.

Du Ning drove the dragon carriage and stopped outside the Guoxue Palace of Liao Kingdom.

And here, there are already many scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences waiting here.

Du Ning got off the dragon carriage, glanced at the Liao people present with different expressions, raised his head slightly, and showed a calm and calm smile.

A Confucian and Taoist scholar from the Liao Kingdom came towards us with nine Hanlin officials.

"In Xiaguxing, the Liao Kingdom Academy is in full swing. Today, on behalf of the Liao Kingdom's literary world, we welcome the Liao Kingdom's scholars to welcome Lord Yunqi!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Du Ning with great respect.

The other nine Hanlin scholars also followed Gu Xing in bowing down. On the surface, they showed great respect, but their eyes were full of hostility towards Du Ning.

"Du Ning, a student from the Yun Kingdom, has met all the literary friends from the Liao Kingdom."

Du Ning bowed in return and called himself a student of the Yun Kingdom, because today he not only came to the Liao Kingdom as a Wenjun, but also fought as a Yunguo citizen.

After both parties finished the ceremony, they raised their heads again.

Opposite Gu Xing smiled with a knife hidden in his face, and the other nine Hanlin officials also sneered.

Du Ning looked confident and looked extremely calm and calm.

"Du Ning, we are here to cheer for you!" A voice suddenly sounded.

Du Ning found out by reputation that he was Tian Feipeng, Fu Yue, Fan Rulong, Tao Da, Wei Zheming and many other friends from aristocratic families.

"With us helping you, you can feel free to fight against the Liao people, we have confidence in you!" Tian Feipeng said loudly.

Fan Rulong said: "If you fail in the civil war, I can fight on behalf of the Yun Kingdom at any time, so that you have no worries, just go all out."

The literary battle between the two countries is basically ten people fighting against ten people, just like last year when the Ke family sent ten scholars to fight in Suzhou, whichever side wins ten games first will win the literary battle.

Du Ning came alone. If Wen Dou failed, Fan Rulong could stand up and fight for the Yun Kingdom and help Du Ning.

"Thank you Brother Fan, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't give you a chance to show off your skills." Du Ning said with a smile.

"Haha... Then I, Fan, can't help but wish for it." Fan Rulong was even more happy.

The faces of the Liao people present became a little unnatural, because looking at Du Ning's posture, it seemed that he was really going to defeat the ten Hanlins of Liao by himself.

How confident is this in one’s own strength?

How much contempt does it have for the Hanlin scholars in the Liao literary world?

Could it be that the ten most powerful scholars in the Liao literary world combined could not compare to one Du Ning?

This is so ridiculous!

Almost no Liao people would accept this idea.

Du Ning asked Gu Xing: "May I ask Gu Xuezheng, why are there only nine Hanlins here, and there is still one person missing?"

Gu Xing smiled and said: "Du Jun, don't be impatient. After you defeat these nine Hanlins, the tenth Hanlin will appear. However, in Gu's opinion, you may not be qualified to see the tenth Hanlin."<

/p>

The implication is that Du Ning will definitely lose to one of these nine people, and naturally he will not be able to see the tenth Hanlin.

"Then I will try my best to make the tenth Hanlin appear as soon as possible." Du Ning said.

Gu Xing smiled and said nothing.

"Presumptuous! You are simply too arrogant. You actually despise us Liao scholars so much. Do you think you really have that strength? Ridiculous!"

"In today's battle, our literary world in Liao will rise on the strength of your reputation, but your majestic Yunqi Jun will end up in failure and your reputation will be ruined!"

"Du Ning, you are really overestimating your capabilities. You don't even need nine Hanlins to appear. We, the Liao Kingdom, can defeat you by randomly sending three Hanlins!"

Many Liao people made very harsh taunts. They all looked down on Du Ning with great contempt, even triumphantly, and did not take Du Ning seriously at all.

Fan Rulong said: "Du Ning, don't listen to other people's nonsense. They Liao people are used to being despicable. They like to use this kind of words to influence other people's minds. Once you get angry because of this, you will most likely fall into their trap."

A trap set."

Some Liao people suddenly became angry and ashamed, as if they had been exposed by others.

Scholars from other countries who came to watch the battle also pointed and pointed.

"I didn't expect that the Liao people would actually use such a clever trick, and they are not afraid of being laughed at by the world."

"Since it is a literary struggle, it should look like a literary struggle. We are all scholars, so what is the etiquette of making fun of it?"

"That's right...can't the dignified Liao people still afford to lose? No way, no way..."

After hearing these gossips, the people of Liao felt angry in their hearts.

Gu Xing immediately changed the subject and said to Du Ning: "Du Jun has come all the way and it is very hard to travel and travel. Why not just have dinner at the Guoxue Palace and have a full meal before competing. If we Liao people are lucky enough to win, it will be unavoidable.

You will still be gossiped by scholars from other countries. If you say that we in the Liao Kingdom did not let you rest and directly entered the stage of literary fighting, you will be accused of being unkind and unjust as the people of the Liao Kingdom."

Du Ning waved his hand and said: "There is no need for this. I don't want to waste so much time in the Liao Kingdom. After the civil war is over, I have to rush back to Kongcheng to prepare for the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. I won't do it tonight.

Staying here for the night, after all..."

"I am here to return the favor."

"Return the gift?"

Many people in the Liao country were stunned, and for a while they didn’t know what Du Ning meant by “returning the gift.”

Du Ning explained with a smile: "Last year, the Xiongnu and barbarian soldiers invaded the northern and southern borders of the Yun Kingdom. The Ke family took advantage of the situation and brought ten scholars to fight against Suzhou City. I am here today to return this great gift to highlight the two countries of Yun and Liao.

The Chinese literary world is friendly."

All the scholars in the audience were silent for a few breaths.

When the Yun Kingdom was suffering from war, it was inappropriate for the Liao Kingdom to take advantage of the situation and attack the literary world of the Yun Kingdom.

Many people may forget quickly due to time constraints, but for Yun people, it does not mean that they can just forget.

What the people of the Liao State did to the people of the Yun State is still vivid in their minds. They cannot forget it and dare not forget it.

"Hey...the old cause, the current effect, it's really retaliation for retaliation!"

An old man from Liao State on crutches sighed softly, turned around and left silently, seemingly watching this literary fight with no face.

Gu Xing said without changing his expression: "Since Mr. Du is here to repay the gift, should he also follow the example of the Ke family last year and lose completely in today's literary fight?"

Some Liao people showed sneers on their faces. They were worthy of being the bachelors of the Guoxue Palace, and they quickly started to sneer at Du Ning.

"Then let's see if you have the ability to make me lose completely."

Du Ning spoke proudly, not taking Gu Xing's ridicule seriously, and even looked down upon the others with an absolute attitude.
