Confucian and Taoist scholar

At this moment, even Emperor Guangde couldn't help but take a breath of air. He was glad that he had always adhered to the moral sentiments and bottom line of conscience as a descendant of Emperor Zhou, and did not let the people from the Ministry of War capture Du Ning and others. Otherwise,

If so, even if the Seven Islands Sea Country can quickly master the technology of the mysterious cannon, the situation will become very embarrassing if they do not have the materials to configure the ammunition.

Assuming that the officials of the Ministry of War captured and convicted Du Ning and others before they had time to deal with it, Emperor Guangde, along with hundreds of civil and military officials, personally went to Du Ning to plead guilty. There might still be room for redemption, even if Geng Cunshan was really killed.

No matter what.

If Du Ning and others are really guilty of something, the warships of the Holy Academy equipped with mysterious cannons will immediately enter the endless sea area in the name of annihilating the Hailong Gang, and while wiping out the Hailong Gang, they will also capture the Seven Island Sea Country.

Didn’t Emperor Guangde become the king of subjugation?

Once this happened, even if Emperor Guangde was not angered to death, he might choose to die for his country.

Emperor Guangde looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War. His eyes seemed to be invisible, and he scolded the Minister of the Ministry of War. Do you think that after taking down Du Ning's technique of mastering the mysterious cannon, he can rely on it to fight with the Holy Academy overseas?

Challenge?

The Seven Islands Sea Kingdom has no materials for deploying artillery shells. Even if there are countless mysterious cannons, they are just a pile of scrap metal. Do you expect that pile of scrap metal to fight against the Holy Academy? There is no chance at all, because they will be attacked by Hai Long first.

Help me get rid of it.

After the Minister of War felt Emperor Guangde's gaze, he suddenly looked ashamed and lowered his head. He secretly thought that he was in danger and almost fell into the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and the Land of Unrecoverable.

The expressions of the generals of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom are very complicated, because next, they are about to face a greater crisis.

Emperor Guangde frowned and asked Du Ning: "In Du Jun's opinion, what should we do?"

Du Ning said: "Please forgive me, now we can only completely defeat the Sea Dragon Gang by letting the Holy Court send warships into the endless sea."

Many people have changed their minds. What they fear most is that the warships of the Holy Academy enter the endless sea, which is also very dangerous for the Seven Islands Sea Country.

Emperor Guangde was silent. Du Ning's suggestion sounded good, but the risk was too great for Emperor Guangde.

They are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid that the Holy Academy will send warships to attack their Seven Island Sea Country, because they believe that the human race of the Holy Forest Continent has long been eyeing their Seven Island Sea Country and has long been ambitious to capture it.

For Emperor Guangde, the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom was their inheritance passed down from generation to generation, and no one else was allowed to capture it.

The Minister of War suddenly sneered: "It seems that you have still not given up your ambition to capture our seven-island sea country. You keep saying that you will send warships to destroy the Hailong Gang, but in fact it is just a high-sounding excuse."

Du Ning said contemptuously: "Our Holy Court has mysterious cannons and equipped warships. If we really intend to capture your seven-island sea country, then our Holy Court can just send warships to get it. Why do we need to send us here to say hello?

?Do you think the navy of your Seven Island Sea Kingdom can withstand the bombardment of a hundred warships equipped with mysterious cannons for a day and night?"

"One hundred warships..."

Everyone in the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom turned blue with fright. Just as Du Ning said, if the Holy Academy sent a hundred warships to bombard the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom indiscriminately, in less than a day and a night, the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom would be destroyed.

It’s gone. You can win the surrender of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom in one breath, so there is no need to waste any means!

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was so angry that his chest ached. Du Ning was so arrogant. In front of Emperor Guangde, he showed unabashed contempt for the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. This can be said to all the officials of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.

It is a great humiliation to win.

Some people were so distraught that they couldn't stand Du Ning's contempt for them.

But in fact, the strength of the Holy Forest Continent is indeed far greater than that of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, so even if they feel very angry, they have no reason to refute.

After all, this cold and ruthless fact is before them.

Emperor Guangde said: "What Mr. Du said makes sense. If the Holy Court sends warships to support us, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Hailong Gang. However, this matter is of great importance and I cannot agree easily."

Du Ning said: "Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first, and please believe in our Holy Forest Continent's intentions for you. If our Holy Forest Continent really intends to invade you, there is no need to send us here to explain our intentions."

, after the Sea Dragon Gang captures your Seven Island Sea Kingdom, our Holy Court can completely take back the Seven Island Sea Kingdom from the hands of the Sea Dragon Gang in the name of revenge for the human race. In this way, not only will it not

Wouldn't it be simpler to be regarded as fratricidal by future generations and still be able to deter the endless sea?"

"This..."

Emperor Guangde was stunned in place, the Minister of War was stunned in place, and many officials were also stunned in place.

Du Ning's words hit the nail on the head. The Holy Court knew clearly that the Sea Dragon Gang was coming to attack the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, and they knew that the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom could not withstand the attack of the Sea Dragon Gang. If the Holy Court really had to take over the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom,

You can completely sit back and watch this happen.

Wouldn't it be more in line with military strategy to wait for the Seven Island Sea Kingdom to be captured by the Hailong Gang, or when both sides suffer losses, and then come out to take advantage? Isn't it necessary to send a dignified gentleman to come and speak earnestly? That's not to say that your brain has been pinched by the door.

To use such a superfluous method? Isn’t it too underestimated the IQ of the Holy Forest Continent?

No matter how much the scholars of the Seven Islands Sea Country look down on the people of the Holy Forest Continent, they will never think that the people of the Holy Forest Continent are really that stupid.

The Holy Court's sending Du Ning to the Seven Islands Sea Country is enough to show the Holy Court's sincerity. After all, from the perspective of the Holy Court, sending a Wenjun to the Seven Islands Sea Country is also a very risky decision.

.

A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Even if a great scholar from the Holy Academy comes to the Seven Islands Sea Country, as long as Emperor Guangde holds the jade seal, he can suppress it with national luck.

Not to mention that Du Ning is just a Hanlin. No matter how strong Du Ning and others are in cultivation, they cannot compete with the powerful power accumulated by a country over the years.

"Although I don't think the Holy Court will have any good intentions towards us, what he said is indeed correct. What do you think?"

"Hey... I don't know what to say now. If we think from the perspective of the Holy Forest Continent, we can easily seize the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom according to Du Jun's hypothesis."

"Hmph! If the Holy Court really does that, it would seem that it has no mercy. If scholars have no mercy, how are they any different from animals?"

"No matter what the Holy Court intends, Yun Qijun's words are indeed worth pondering for all of us."

Many officials looked at each other and started talking among themselves.

Emperor Guangde stood there and pondered for a long time, looked at Du Ning and asked: "Please forgive me for speaking frankly, how does your Holy Court view our Seven Island Sea Country? If you really want to help us, for what reason?

and purpose?"

"Your Majesty, do you really want me to say no?" Du Ning looked serious.

"Please make it clear, Mr. Du." Emperor Guangde looked serious.

Du Ning said: "That's because the Holy Court has always regarded you as brothers. You are of human blood from the Holy Forest Continent. The Holy Court sincerely hopes that you can go home and return to the embrace of the big human family. We don't want to occupy

Your territory, but I hope you can accept the leadership of the Holy Court and let us become a family again."

"What did you say!" Emperor Guangde's expression suddenly changed.

The officials of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom were even more serious about this, but the Minister of War sneered.

"Well said! Du Jun really speaks better than he sings."

The Minister of the Ministry of War sneered and said: "Your Holy Court clearly wants to seize the national destiny of our Seven Island Sea Kingdom, so as to enhance the destiny of the countries in your Holy Forest Continent. Is this officer right?"

Du Ning said disapprovingly: "There are so many countries in our Holy Forest Continent. To put it bluntly, the Holy Court has a far-sighted vision. The luck of your seven-island sea country is only a drop in the bucket. How can you be in the eyes of all the saints?"

"You..."

The Minister of War was very angry.

Emperor Guangde asked: "May I ask Mr. Du, is there really a saint in the Holy Court?"

The expressions of many officials changed again. In their understanding, the Holy Court has long existed in name only. The so-called saints are just a cover for the Holy Forest Continent. In fact, they are just some great scholars operating behind the scenes.

However, when everyone fully realized the huge gap between their Seven Island Sea Country and the Holy Forest Continent, the understanding of whether there are saints in the Holy Court seemed to have begun to waver a little.

Du Ning responded seriously: "Since it is called the Holy Courtyard, it is natural that there is a saint sitting in charge."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The Minister of War said loudly: "How can you still have saints in your Holy Forest Continent? Do you really think that the civilization of your Holy Forest Continent is far superior to our Seven Island Sea Country? You just have more mysterious artillery inventions than us. If we talk about other aspects

, How can our Seven Island Sea Country lose to your Holy Forest Continent? Do you want to use this method to persuade my emperor to submit to your Holy Forest Continent? Ridiculous!"

At the same time, he cast a contemptuous look at Du Ning, as if he had read through Du Ning's mind.

Some Ministry of War officials had solemn expressions, but a few showed sarcasm and disapproved of what Du Ning said.

Some people are dubious, but most people still don't believe it.

Du Ning said righteously: "No matter how much you deny it in your heart, the people of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom are originally of the blood of the Holy Forest Continent. Even your Majesty is a descendant of the Emperor Zhou. This is an indisputable fact. If the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom can officially return to the Holy Forest Continent,

Lin Continent, you will also enjoy the strong luck of the human race in the Holy Forest Continent. This is not only of great benefit to the Holy Forest Continent, but also to you."

"Ridiculous!"

The Minister of War retorted: "With just a few words of yours, do you want us to give up the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom? Then tell me, if we are willing to accept the leadership of the Holy Court, where will you put the people of my dynasty? Jiang Wu

Where will the emperor be placed? Where will he put all the officials like us?"

Du Ning said slowly: "The Seven Island Sea Country is still the Seven Island Sea Country. The Holy Court will respect your country and status and will never interfere in your government affairs. However, when it comes to the development of the human race, you should cooperate with the Holy Court.

I believe that under the leadership of the Holy Academy, within a hundred years, your Seven Islands Sea Country will rebirth more than ten great Confucians, even semi-saints!"

Everyone's expressions changed with shock. They dared to say that the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom would give birth to more than a dozen great scholars or semi-saints within a hundred years. This was really a big statement. No matter how courageous most people are, they would not dare to make such arrogant remarks.

"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was really annoyed by Du Ning and laughed. He looked at Du Ning with contempt and said, "You have such a strong tone, and I am not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue. You really think too highly of your Holy Forest Continent."

Do you think we will believe your words? No matter how eloquent you are, we will never be fooled and be at your mercy."

Du Ning looked at the other party and said loudly: "Minister of the Ministry of War, don't use your short-sightedness to measure the civilization of our Holy Forest Continent. How can a frog sitting in a well and looking at the sky know how thick the sky is? Your stubborn idea is exactly what your Seven Islands

The root cause of Haiguo’s backwardness is that if you fall behind, you will be beaten!”

"What did you say? You said I was short-sighted? How presumptuous! I'm just an official, speaking out nonsense, I'm really shameless!"

The Minister of War was completely angry. The most unbearable thing for him was that Du Ning mocked him for being short-sighted. This was a great humiliation and an intolerable humiliation.

"Isn't it?"

Du Ning sneered and said: "From the beginning, you have been hostile to us scholars in the Holy Forest Continent, and you have just ordered us to be arrested. Don't think that we can't see the wishful thinking in your heart. It's nothing more than a wish."

After getting rid of us, we will forcibly master the technology of the Mysterious Cannon, so that the Seven Island Sea Kingdom can dominate overseas and compete with the Holy Academy!"

"Bloody words!"

The Minister of War's face suddenly changed, his face flushed with anxiety, and he scolded Du Ning in anger.

"I'm a slanderer? That's good! Then do you dare to confront me with my literary courage? If you don't have any evil intentions, my literary courage will be smashed by you. Do you dare to give it a try?" Du Ning stepped forward step by step.

Force.

"You..."

The Minister of the Ministry of War was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He was a dignified Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was also a bachelor. To be targeted by Du Ning in this way was simply infuriating and even more hateful!

"Okay, don't argue anymore."

Emperor Guangde hurriedly stood up to smooth things over and said: "This matter is of great importance. I dare not make a rash decision. As for whether to let the Holy Court assist us, I have to discuss it with all the civil and military officials before making a decision."<

/p>

Du Ning reminded: "We are willing to give His Majesty and you all more time to think, but the Hailong Gang does not think so."

"I understand." Emperor Guangde nodded lightly.

"If there is nothing else, we will leave first."

After Du Ning finished speaking, he glanced at the Minister of War with a profound look, then turned around and left with the scholars from the Holy Forest Continent.

The officials of the Seven Islands Sea Country looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
