Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 81 I just look down on you

The Ke family was so angry that they gnashed their teeth. As a scholar from a semi-sage family, they were respected wherever they went. Today, when they came to Suzhou and were laughed at by the Yun people, it was simply a great shame and humiliation.

"My Ke family is a semi-saint family. Even if the children of the family make mistakes, it is not the turn of General Yue to teach him a lesson. General Yue must give an explanation to our Ke family for this matter." Ke Changzhi said.

Yue Tianyi said contemptuously: "According to your opinion, if a scholar of your Ke family kills someone in my country of Yun, will it only be punished by your Ke family?"

Ke Changzhi's expression suddenly changed, and he said slowly: "That's not what I meant. Suppose that a member of my Ke family killed someone in Yun State. You, Yun State, can arrest him and hold him accountable according to the laws of Yun State, but this matter is not the other. Ke Hongxiu

He made no mistake, but his literary courage was smashed by Du Ning, and his two front teeth were knocked out by General Yue. This is unjustifiable in any case."

Du Ning said: "First, during the dragon boat battle, I did not break Ke Hongxiu's literary courage. Second, the reason why Ke Hongxiu's literary courage was broken was his own fault and has nothing to do with anyone else.

Third, we all signed a document of literary struggle before the dragon boat battle started. Even if I smashed Ke Hongxiu’s literary courage, I would not be exempted from liability. Based on the above, it is untenable for your Ke family to come to Suzhou to raise an army in this name to investigate. "<

/p>

"Well said! Well-founded."

"Master Du's words are absolutely true. There is no reason for your Ke family to come to Suzhou to question you."

"You want to impose the fault of Ke Hongxiu's broken literary courage on Mr. Du, so as to wash away the shame of Ke Hongxiu's broken literary courage. But justice prevails in people's hearts. Even if you tell the truth, it will be useless."

"That's it! That's it! You're from a semi-saint family, and for the sake of your own face, you actually slandered a ninth-grade scholar. It was already a very shameful thing, but now it's even more shameful."

Scholars from the Yun Kingdom pointed and looked at the Ke family with disdain. Some people looked down on them. Some even raised their middle fingers directly at Ke Changzhi and even pointed at Ke Changzhi's nose and called him shameless.

The Ke family cursed in their hearts, but they still tried to remain calm on the surface. After all, they are scholars from a semi-saint family. No matter what the occasion, they must pay attention to their own image.

Once they really curse, all the Yun people present will dare to curse back, and it will be criticized by thousands of people.

Even if the Ke family is not wrong at all, once it is criticized by thousands of people, the reputation of the semi-saint family will be completely ruined.

Ke Hongxiu's face looked very ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. For him, he had no literary courage anyway, so even if he did something against his conscience, it seemed like nothing.

Ke Changzhi said solemnly: "Okay, even if Du Ning is not wrong, what will happen if General Yue bullies Ke Hongxiu in the face?"

"How do you want to calculate it?"

Yue Tianyi asked: "Do you want to pay some money, or do you want me to apologize to him?"

The people of Yun State laughed again. He is indeed the general of Suzhou, but he doesn’t talk about ordinary things.

The Ke family was even more angry. As a semi-saint family, would they be short of that little money? If they just asked for a little money, there was no need to come.

Of course Yue Tianyi also knew this. How could the Ke family care about some money? What they care about is the face of the Semi-Saint family. If they can't find some ground for the Semi-Saint family, they will inevitably hear gossip from the Liao people.

Another more important point is that when the scholars in their own family were beaten, they didn’t even dare to fart?

That is simply a shame for the family.

"Does General Yue think that just apologizing and paying money can solve this matter? Then you look down on our Half-Saint Family too much, right?" Ke Changzhi sneered.

"You misunderstood, I don't look down on the Semi-Saint Family..."

Yue Tianyi looked at Ke Changzhi as if he were a fool, and said jokingly: "I just look down on you."

"Presumptuous!"

Ke Changzhi couldn't help but feel annoyed. A mere Confucian and Taoist scholar actually said that he looked down on people like them. This was simply a joke!

"Yue Tianyi! Why do you look down on us! Who do you think you are!"

"The Semi-Saint Family cannot be insulted!"

"You are so brave! Have you forgotten the privileges of the Semi-Saint Family in the human race?"

"You are violating etiquette!"

The Ke family members scolded each other and felt very angry.

"I, the general, don't want to hear you making noise here. We are holding a celebration banquet, so we won't let you eat. Please go back!"

Yue Tian waved his hand and issued the eviction order.

"We came from far away from the Liao Kingdom, but you drove us away. Is this the way the Yun Kingdom treats guests? If word of this spreads, who would dare to come to your Yun Kingdom as a guest?" Ke Changzhi said displeased.

"Oh! It turns out that you also want to attend our celebration banquet. You should have told me earlier! Someone, please add two more tables to Mr. Ke and the others." Yue Tianyi said loudly.

"Haha..."

The people of the Yun Kingdom couldn't help but laugh. This was a celebration banquet to celebrate the Yun Kingdom's victory over the students of the Liao Kingdom in the dragon boat battle. If the Ke family dared to come to participate, they would be scolded by the Liao Kingdom for treason.

"You..."

Ke Changzhi simply couldn't bear it. He found that as a great scholar in Confucianism and Taoism, he was actually being played by a great scholar like this.

What the Bing family is best at is taking surprises. Just now Yue Tianyi pretended to let the Ke family go, but in fact he was just waiting for Ke Changzhi to jump into this trap.

It’s not the case for the Ke family to leave now, it’s also not the case if they don’t leave.

If we leave, it will be a disgrace to the Ke family in Yun State.

If they don't leave, the Yun people will naturally be happier and have to treat them to a few drinks.

It’s interesting to think about the fact that people from the Liao Kingdom attended the celebration banquet where the students from the Yun Kingdom defeated the students from the Liao Kingdom.

"We, the Ke family, are not interested in your celebration banquet, but since we are here today, we do not intend to leave so easily. You are celebrating for the students in Suzhou, so how about we come to your celebration banquet?"

Ke Changzhi sneered and said: "Grudges in the literary world should be settled according to the rules of the literary world. Our Ke family will send a bachelor to fight with General Yue. If my Ke family loses, the matter will end here.

”

"Presumptuous!"

Ye Jinghong's face became angry and he said loudly: "Mr. Ke, I respect you as a great scholar of the Liao Dynasty, and I have already shown you three points of courtesy. You are already an uninvited guest at our celebration banquet in Suzhou, and now you are still in broad daylight.

If you propose a fight with General Yue, are you here to slap me in the face?"

"Ke just wants to seek justice for our Ke family." Ke Changzhi said.

"What a joke! Do you really think we can't tell what the Ke family is thinking about?" Ye Jinghong's expression was serious.

"What? Are you afraid?"

Ke Changzhi sneered and said: "During the dragon boat battle, you Yun people were so majestic and proud, but now you don't even dare to fight with the scholar Wen Du from our semi-saint family? General Yue, today in front of Yun

In front of so many people in the country, you won’t be a coward, right?”

The people of Yun State were furious, Ke Changzhi was trying to show Yue Tianyi his sword.

If Yue Tianyi refuses to fight, he will lose the face of the Yun people, and if he fights but loses to the Ke family, today's celebration banquet will become a shame for the whole city of Suzhou.

Unless Yue Tianyi can win.

But a scholar who comes from a semi-saint family is by no means an ordinary person, so how can he be so easy to deal with?

Ke Changzhi dared to show his sword to Yue Tian, which showed that the other party was well prepared and wanted to slap the Yun people in the face at today's celebration banquet and make the Yun people suffer such a shame and humiliation.

A great scholar of the Ke family stepped forward, threw a prepared literary document on the table, then raised his hand to Yue Tianyi, and said proudly: "Ke Changzheng, a great scholar of the Ke family, please give me some advice from General Yue."
Everyone looked at Yue Tianyi. The other party had already bullied him to the point. I am afraid that with Yue Tianyi's personality, he would not allow the other party to be so presumptuous.

Literary fighting at the bachelor's level is very dangerous.

You can collide with the power of talent, fight with the power of poetry, or kill with the ancient sword of Wen Gong.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

But since it’s Wen Dou, he won’t really kill him, he will show mercy no matter what.

After all, competition in the literary world is not a matter of life and death.

Yue Tianyi smiled and said, "That's right, Chief Ke? I've heard of your literary name. You are the best among the Ke family's bachelors. You majored in the ancient sword of the Imperial Palace. You have participated in the sword test competitions of various countries and won the top ten

, become famous in one battle."

"Thank you, thank you."

Chief Ke looked proud and said slowly: "I was still a Jinshi when I participated in the sword test of various countries. It's a pity that General Yue did not participate. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to wait until today to compete again."

The implication is to ridicule Yue Tianyi, who has never even participated in the sword test of various countries, and is not qualified to be his opponent.

The sword test of various countries is a gathering of Jinshi elites from many countries to fight against the ancient swords of the Wen Palace. It is a highly experienced literary competition. The scholars who can participate in the sword test of various countries are all elites among Jinshi.

The Ke family knew that Yue Tianyi had never participated in the sword test of various countries, so they pointed the sword at Yue Tianyi.

"Okay! Then I will compete with you on the ancient sword of Wen Palace to see if you, a scholar who has tried swords from all over the world, live up to your reputation."

Yue Tianyi agreed and signed the document.

The Ke family showed contemptuous smiles, and some even laughed.

"Stupid!"

Ke Changzheng mocked: "Since you are a scholar who is proficient in the art of war, you should use your strengths and avoid weaknesses. If you compete with me in poetry and talent, you may still have hope of winning, but if you compete with me in the ancient sword of Wen Palace, you will definitely lose.

”

After the words fell, many people in the Yun Kingdom began to worry about Yue Tianyi.

"I wish General Yue a victory."

Du Ning raised his wine bowl in toast, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Cheer for General Yue!"

Many people also toasted to Yue Tianyi. Since it was a literary fight, the people of Yun State should provide unconditional support.

"General Yue is brave but not resourceful, that's all!"

Ke Changzhi's face was filled with disdain.
