Confucian and Taoist scholar

"Du Jun has worked hard on the official documents. Come on, let's have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."

Di Zonghu smiled and handed Du Ning a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you, Mr. Di."

Du Ning took the hot tea and took a sip, feeling relaxed and happy.

Di Zonghu was about to say something.

Suddenly, a bachelor general stood up, raised his hand to Du Ning, and said, "My Lord Governor, General Guo Quan, I want to ask you something."

Du Ning suddenly looked serious. The dignified bachelor actually used the word "begging", which shows that it must be a very important matter.

"General Guo, please speak."

"I have admired the reputation of the Governor for a long time and have great admiration in my heart, so I...I think..."

Guo Quan seemed hesitant, but still gritted his teeth and said: "So I want to discuss with the master Wen Dou and ask for your advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Ning couldn't laugh or cry.

Military scholars are warlike by nature. Guo Quan knew that it was a bit disrespectful for him to suddenly make this request, but he still simply hoped to have a discussion with Du Ning.

Du Ning paid attention to everyone present and could see that Guo Quan hesitated for a while before finally summoning the courage to make this request.

Di Zonghu scolded him with a sullen face: "How presumptuous! The Governor has just arrived in Tianshui City after a long journey. How can you make a request to have a literary competition with him at this time? You still don't back down!"

"I'm sorry, I apologize to the Governor."

Guo Quan apologized hurriedly, and then said sarcastically: "The general only respects the reputation of the governor. There is no false person under the reputation. If I can compete with the governor, I will have no regrets in this life. I never thought... ugh..."

Du Ning heard what the other party meant. If he didn't fight, he would be just showing off.

As the saying goes, it is better to provoke a general than to invite him. Guo Quan intended to provoke Du Ning to compete with him.

Di Zonghu was even more displeased, "General Guo, please pay attention to your words, this is a human gentleman."

Then he said to Du Ning: "Du Jun, General Guo is rude to you. General Guo's character is that he prefers to fight with masters. Although he made rude remarks, he has absolutely no disrespect to you. I dare to use my own literary name to express my gratitude to you."

He guarantees it."

"Mr. Di is serious, it's just a discussion, it's not a big deal, it's not worth mentioning."

Du Ning then smiled at Guo Quan and said: "I accept General Guo's challenge. I have been tired of traveling and traveling all the way, so I should stretch my muscles and bones."

What he said was actually playing into Du Ning's hands. Whether Guo Quan was sincerely asking for advice, or whether he wanted to undermine his own literary reputation or use his literary reputation to gain a position, Du Ning had to meet the masters in Tianshui City for a while.
Showing off your skills in the name of Wen Dou can also show your prestige in the army, which will be beneficial to you.

Guo Quan was overjoyed when he heard that Du Ning agreed. He thought that once he defeated Du Ning, he would leap over the dragon's gate, and from now on he would be a well-known figure in the literary circles of all countries.

"Thank you, sir. Let's go to the school grounds, please."

Guo Quan was excited. He considered himself a military scholar, and the ancient military sword he practiced was no less powerful than the ordinary Confucian sword. Du Ning was also a newly promoted bachelor, so he would definitely have a chance to defeat Du Ning.

"Please."

Du Ning stood up and walked out.

"Guo Quan, this guy is really..." Di Zonghu sighed helplessly.

A Hanlin man next to him said: "Shuai Di doesn't have to be like this. Master Du Jun has a lot of people, so he won't care about General Guo's offense."

"That's not what I meant."

Di Zonghu said seriously: "Originally, I planned to ask Du Jun to discuss with me. I never thought that Guo Quan was nothing, but he got there first. I was really angry. He dared to show off in front of this old man. Looking back, I didn't think so.

Teach this boy Guo a lesson!"

"…………"

The others looked at each other, suddenly understanding the real reason why Di Zonghu was unhappy.

After all, Guo Quan was also a bachelor general, but he was called "Guo Xiaozi" by Di Zonghu. Di Zonghu was the only one in the entire army who dared to call Guo Quan that way.

"Don't be stunned, let's go! Go watch the fun!"

Di Zonghu rolled his eyes at everyone, then followed in the footsteps of Du Ning and Guo Quan, and everyone else also left the courtroom to follow.

After arriving at the school grounds, Du Ning and Guo Quan stood opposite each other.

After hearing that Du Ning was going to fight Guo Quanwen, many military generals came to watch, and soon the area was filled with water and it was extremely lively.

"Did I read that correctly? General Guo actually had a fight with the Governor-General?"

"Haha... The Governor is a genius who has been to the Three Realms Mountains. The most prestigious Dongtian Mountain in the Three Realms Mountains died in his hands. I'm afraid General Guo is no match for the Governor."

"I don't think so. General Guo has been a great scholar for several years. His ancient sword of great scholar is extremely powerful. It is said that it is close to the ancient sword of Great Confucianism. If they are both great scholars, General Guo should be slightly better."

"Who is the Governor? He is a civilized monarch of the human race. His strength and cultivation must be far superior to those of the same level. His reputation is not blown out, but made by himself in the Three Realms Mountains."

Many people started talking about who was stronger or weaker between Du Ning and Guo Quan. Everyone had different opinions.

Guo Quan handed over to Du Ning and said: "The literary competition is over. In terms of poetry, I don't think I am the governor's opponent. But since it is just a competition and not a life and death battle, we must pay attention to fairness, so I suggest that neither of us can use it."

War poems, only judging the superiority based on the strength of one's own ancient sword, I wonder what the governor wants?"

Du Ning nodded lightly, "General Guo's proposal is very good. It can not only determine the outcome, but also reduce the danger for both sides. I have no objection to this."

Guo Quan said proudly: "Although it is a literary competition, please be more careful, Governor-General. If an accident happens accidentally, Di Shuai will have to skin the general."

It seems like a kind reminder, but in fact he is telling everyone that he has the ability to compete with Du Ning in simple ancient swords.

Du Ning said disapprovingly: "My ancient sword is also stronger than ordinary bachelors. General Guo must also be mentally prepared, but he must pay attention to safety."

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me. Please give me some advice."

Guo Quan's attitude was respectful and he did not dare to have the slightest contempt. Although he had a certain degree of self-confidence, he did not dare to be stupid enough to underestimate the genius who came out of the Three Realms Mountains.

One careless move can lead to losing everything. Guo Quan, as a military scholar, will naturally understand this truth better.

"Then let's get started!"

After Du Ning finished speaking, Cai Qi leaped in front of him and turned into the ancient Kunlun sword to attack Guo Quan.

The moment the Kunlun Ancient Sword appeared, a powerful pressure emitted.

"What a powerful aura! People say that Yunqijun's Kunlun ancient sword is very powerful. When I saw it today, I realized that it is even more powerful than I imagined!"

"The power of the ancient sword alone is so powerful. If the power of the war poetry is added, I am afraid that its power will be enhanced to a level that is almost the same as that of the ancient sword of Confucianism."

"This is the ancient sword that killed foreign geniuses in the Three Realms Mountains. It should not be underestimated."

Everyone who was watching changed their expressions. It was not that they had not heard of Du Ning's deeds, but they were following others' opinions, so there would definitely be some discrepancies, or even exaggerations.

But I didn’t know until today that those rumors described Duning as weak, so everyone was even more shocked.

In fact, Du Ning has just been promoted to bachelor not long ago, and the power he is showing now is naturally a bit more powerful than usual.

The Kunlun Ancient Sword flashed and struck in front of Guo Quan, and its powerful aura put a lot of pressure on Guo Quan.

Guo Quan did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly opened his mouth and spit out his ancient scholar's sword to fight against the Kunlun ancient sword.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two ancient swords fought back and forth in the air, making crisp sword sounds. They looked evenly matched.

But after a moment, Du Ning's Kunlun Ancient Sword quickly gained the upper hand, suppressing Guo Quan's Great Scholar's Ancient Sword from the front.

"Good! It is indeed the Kunlun Ancient Sword, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

Di Zonghu, who was watching the battle, made a sound of praise, thinking that Du Ning was indeed a peerless genius of the human race. Even if Di Zonghu himself tried to compete with Du Ning with his Great Confucian Sword, he might not be able to win it in a short time.

Half a penny cheaper.

Du Ning's Kunlun Ancient Sword and the Grand Scholar's Ancient Sword are not at the same level at all. Moreover, Du Ning's own talent and power are many times stronger than that of the Grand Scholar. Even his literary courage is far superior to that of ordinary people, and he dominates in every aspect.

With a huge advantage, Guo Quan was naturally defeated.

"What a powerful ancient sword. My great scholar's ancient sword actually looks so small in front of the Kunlun Ancient Sword!"

Guo Quan was horrified and felt that his self-confidence had been hit to a certain extent.

As military scholars, they will try their best to practice their ancient military swords, so that when they reach the realm of great scholar, the power of their ancient sword will be close to that of great scholar.

Therefore, Guo Quan is somewhat confident in his own strength, and even shamelessly thinks that he may defeat Du Ning and take this opportunity to become famous all over the world.

Although the idea was good, when faced with the cruel reality, Guo Quan realized that Du Ning's reputation as a genius was indeed not just a boast.

Unless Guo Quan is more talented than Du Ning, there is absolutely no chance of defeating Du Ning.

"Bang!"

Du Ning's Kunlun Ancient Sword suddenly shook, exuding powerful talent and power, suppressing Guo Quan's University Soldier's Ancient Sword.

Guo Quan's expression changed, and he shouted immediately, urging his ancient sword to struggle, trying to break away from the control of Kunlun Ancient Sword's talent, but in the face of absolute power, he failed.

"Bang!"

The ancient sword of the military strategist hit the ground and was suppressed by the ancient sword of Kunlun.

The outcome has been decided!

"I lost."

Guo Quan took a breath and bowed deeply to Du Ning with sincerity: "Human Race Yunqi Jun is well-deserved. I, Guo Quan, am convinced today. Thank you for your advice."

"General Guo, you don't have to be polite."

With a thought, Du Ning took back his Kunlun Ancient Sword, and then Guo Quan's ancient sword was freed and returned to Guo Quan's Wen Palace.

Guo Quan's face changed for a while. He still seemed unable to accept that he and Du Ning were both at the level of bachelors, but there was such a huge gap. Guo Quan felt that the person standing opposite him was not a bachelor, but more like a profound scholar.

The great scholar who tests.

It is simply unimaginable that in a life-and-death battle, Du Ning's Kunlun Ancient Sword combined with the effect of the war poem will unleash astonishing power.

Thinking of what he said to Du Ning before the sparring match, Guo Quan felt a burning sensation on his face. At the same time, he was glad that he did not speak too arrogantly, otherwise today's sparring match would definitely become a lifelong shame and stigma for him.

.

Di Zonghu gloated: "General Guo, you are indeed a rare talent. There are few opponents in the Tianshui Army, so you have developed a bit of arrogance. Now you should fully understand what a real genius is, right? I'll see what happens next.

How dare you underestimate the world’s celebrities?"

Guo Quan smiled bitterly and said: "What Di Shuai taught me is that the general will never dare to have this mentality again, and he must learn from the governor with an open mind."

"This is right!"

Di Zonghu showed a satisfied smile, and then said to Du Ning: "Jun Du, I also want to ask you for some advice. Can you give me some advice?"

Many people were smiling, but Di Zonghu couldn't help but feel itchy after watching for a long time.

Only a genius like Du Ning is suitable to be Di Zonghu's opponent.

Du Ning said hurriedly: "Don't take it seriously if you give me advice. We are just learning from each other."

People nearby moved away to make room for the two of them. This was a competition between experts, and a slight mistake could affect innocent people.

"Please."

After the two handed over to each other, they sacrificed their ancient swords together, turning into two sword lights fighting fiercely in the air, making it difficult to distinguish.

Du Ning felt his blood begin to boil. After all, Di Zonghu was a famous Confucian who had been famous for a long time. Even though the power of Du Ning's ancient sword was not inferior to Di Zonghu's Confucian sword, in terms of experience in literary fighting, Jiang was destined to still be

Du Ning is old and spicy. After all, Du Ning is not as good as Di Zonghu in many places. He can use this opportunity to make up for his shortcomings.

After testing each other, Di Zonghu launched a more fierce offensive, with no intention of holding back, leaving the Kunlun Ancient Sword gradually at a disadvantage.

"Di Shuai is mighty! Well done!"

"Come on, Lord Governor! Come on!"

The people watching the battle began to support the two men.

Du Ning's expression became more solemn. He carefully observed Di Zonghu's attack method, trying to find the opponent's flaws.

However, Di Zonghu's attack is very stable and it is difficult for others to see its weaknesses.

So Du Ning had an idea and followed the same example, imitating Di Zonghu's offensive method and attacking Di Zonghu.

Di Zonghu couldn't help but marvel at Du Ning's agility in imitating his own attack method, but this was also a rare flaw for Du Ning, because Di Zonghu knew his own tricks very well, and only Di Zonghu had the solution.

So Di Zonghu changed his attack method and easily defeated Du Ning's move, sending the Kunlun Ancient Sword flying several feet away.

Du Ning bowed his hand to Di Zonghu, expressing his resignation.

"Di Shuai wins! Di Shuai wins!"

"Sure enough, Di Shuai is still better!"

"The two ancient swords each have their own merits. It is really a wonderful literary battle!"

Everyone is happy.
