The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Several people entered the courtyard. Yang Yuhuan was a little tired. Fang Yun sent her to the room and asked Zhao Hongzhuang to talk to her for a few words, and then put the little fox away.

Not long after, Zhao Hongzhuang came to Fang Yun's study, and the two played chess again.

Fang Yun is growing faster and faster.

In the first game of the day, Zhao Hongzhuang allowed Fang Yun to use his talent. After an hour, Zhao Hongzhuang went all out and finally won with a two-and-a-half-point advantage. Her clothes were wet with sweat, as if she had been fished out of the water.

"Even if the world's Juren chess players use their talents, you are the only one who can force me to this extent. Among the Jinshi chess players under the age of 30 in the academy, they can only play against me 50-50. I can no longer teach you about chess. Starting tomorrow, you and I will learn from each other about chess."

"Thank you, Teacher Hongzhuang, for your guidance." Fang Yun said with a smile.

Zhao Hongzhuang gave Fang Yun a look of shame and anger, and said, "Put away the chess world, I can still teach you to paint for a few months."

"Yes."

The quiet valley world around them suddenly disintegrated into countless black and white chess pieces, and finally turned into a puff of green smoke and merged into the chess table.

Before the two of them stood up, they heard the sound of dripping water from the eaves and the drizzle of drizzle, voices coming from the door, and the sound of rain falling on oilcloth umbrellas. The sound was not loud, but very wide, as if hundreds of umbrellas were spread out in the rain.

"Brother Wei Yu, you have a bright future, why do this! If you lose to Fang Yun, you will be doomed!"

Fang Yun immediately recognized this familiar voice, it was Chang Dongyun, a student from Jingguo who he had met several times.

"Brother Dongyun, this is wrong. The ten upper dormitories have always been a sacred place for students in the academy. There are dozens of competitions for the upper dormitories every year, but you never show up. Only today did you show up, which may not be a good intention. I never doubt Fang Yun's talent. I even think he is qualified to live in the upper dormitories. However, this is the academy, and there are academy rules! If the academy allows me to compete for the upper dormitories, then I can compete. No matter if the opponent is Fang Yun or Ji Zhibai who will soon become the top scholar, as long as I do not violate the academy rules, no one can stop me!"

Chang Dongyun said: "A gentleman should do what he should do and not do what he should not do. The rules of the academy are great, but the morality in your heart is greater. If Fang Yun was an ordinary student, you would fight for him, but he is the pillar of my Jing country. He has only been in the academy for a few days. If he is forced to leave Shangshe, it will be a disaster for my Jing country's literary reputation."

"Literary reputation must be correct, true and real. If someone who obviously has no ability to stay in Shangshe takes over the magpie's nest, it is a blasphemy to Jing country's literary reputation."

"What if Fang Yun is hit hard by this?" Chang Dongyun asked.

Wei Yu laughed loudly and said, "Since we are in the academy, we are all students, no matter how high or low! Not to mention Fang Yun, from the saints to the students, if they can't even bear such a blow, how can they call themselves scholars? If he is really hit hard, it proves that I am right to fight for his upper residence! He doesn't deserve to live in this upper residence."

"Buying the weak with the strong is the best! Don't forget that Fang Yun is only a juren, still a teenager!"

Wei Yu sneered, "Brother Dongyun has always been eager to do good for the public, I admire you very much, but today you defend Fang Yun in every possible way, I am afraid you have ulterior motives. Are you flattering Fang Yun? Not likely, Fang Yun has enemies all over the world, you are not that stupid. Or, are you interested in this upper residence?"

"You can always find excuses to accuse someone! How can I, Chang Dongyun, be such a villain!"

"Then you are not a gentleman to stop me from fighting for the upper residence!" Wei Yu said.

"Okay, both of you, stop arguing. Tomorrow is the monthly entry into Lingyan Pavilion. It won't be too late to wait until Fang Yun enters Lingyan Pavilion!"

"You seem to have forgotten that if Fang Yun fails to fight for the upper room, he will not only be punished to sweep the toilet for a month, but also will not be allowed to enter Lingyan Pavilion within a year unless he succeeds in fighting for the upper room within a month! Even if Fang Yun is a genius, once he loses, it is impossible for him to succeed in fighting for the upper room within a month! What Wei Yu wants is to force Fang Yun to not enter Lingyan Pavilion within a year! Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why Wei Yu is so eager to fight with Fang Yun for the upper room today!" Chang Dongyun's tone became more severe as he spoke.

Whispers were heard, and people outside the door were talking.

Fang Yun stood at the door of the study and was about to open the door, but Zhao Hongzhuang stretched out her hand to stop him.

The two looked at each other.

Zhao Hongzhuang looked serious and lowered her voice, saying, "This time, I hope you will listen to me and let me find out the truth first. Even if I can't stop Wei Yu from competing for the upper house, I can give you more time to think."

Fang Yun looked at Zhao Hongzhuang's resolute face and sighed, "Okay, you try his mouth first. However, since he dared to come, he must have been prepared. You may fall into the trap if you are not careful."

"It's okay, wait a moment." Zhao Hongzhuang rushed into the rain curtain, opened the door, revealing a crack that could allow one person to enter and exit, slowly stepped over the threshold, and stood under the eaves of the door.

The chaotic voices outside quieted down, followed by greetings one after another.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess."

"Meet Princess Hongzhuang."

"Senior Zhu Zhen, how are you?"

Everyone addressed him in different ways. Except for a few people who didn't take it seriously, most of them were very respectful.

Zhao Hongzhuang nodded slightly and found that in addition to the hundreds of students holding umbrellas standing nearby, there were also people in the distance. But she was not even a student, and could not see clearly at night, so she could not see people in the distance, and she just felt uncomfortable.

Zhao Hongzhuang said: "Hongzhuang greets you. Who is Wei Yu?"

Then a man put down his umbrella, and his talent was so strong that the rain could not get close to him.

"I am you."

Zhao Hongzhuang stood on the steps, raised her chin and looked down at Wei Yu, saying: "I do know your literary name. When you were doing the job, you passed the fifth pavilion of Lingyan Pavilion. Not long after you became a Jinshi, you passed the exam. Wuting, you even entered Shangshe, but because Ji Zhibai was born, you knew you were outmatched and took the initiative to give up to Shangshe to save face. "

"What Her Royal Highness Princess said is true."

Zhao Hongzhuang said: "You have enmity with Ji Zhibai, so you have no relationship with Zuo Xiang. You have nothing to do with Prince Kang's palace. The only one who can send you here is the Lei family, right? What benefits did the Lei family give you? You, a Jingguo man, are willing to betray Jingguo and put Fang Yun to death!"

Fang Yun stood at the door of the study and nodded lightly, secretly thinking that she was worthy of being a princess of a country. She knew too many things and got results that others could not infer.

"Click..."

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, causing daylight to appear in front of the first house for a moment.

Perhaps it was the light of lightning that made Wei Yu's face look particularly pale.

When the lightning disappeared and amidst the rumbling thunder, Wei Yu's complexion returned to normal.

"Wei Yu, what Princess Hongzhuang said is true!" Chang Dongyun walked to Wei Yu angrily, his right fist clenched, ready to punch out at any time.

Wei Yu glanced at Chang Dongyun indifferently, then looked at Zhao Hongzhuang and said: "As expected of the eldest princess. Yes, I admit that the Lei family wants to recruit me as their son-in-law, but I am still from Jingguo, and I am still a student. A student of the Imperial Palace! Regardless of whether I am the son-in-law of the Lei family, I am qualified to challenge Fang Yun today! As a student of Jingguo, even Wen Xiang cannot expel me from the academy at will as long as I have no fault! "

Zhao Hongzhuang said: "You admit that it's okay to be the dog of the Lei family. If you act arrogantly today, you will be punished in the future!"

Wei Yu smiled and said: "I know that Her Royal Highness the Princess is very prestigious in Jingguo, but no one in Jingguo can bully the Lei family!"

"I want to give it a try." A clear voice sounded like the jingling of jade stones in the courtyard, and then a young man in black robe was seen slowly walking towards the door. The drizzle left him automatically when it reached him, without a drop of rain falling on his robe. , There is no trace of water on his cloth shoes.

"It's Marquis Fang Wen." Chang Dongyun whispered.

Fang Yun opened the ajar door completely, stepped out of the threshold, stood on the steps, and scanned the front.

On a rainy night, hundreds of Jingguo students stood at the door holding umbrellas. Umbrellas of different colors were connected like petals, covering the nearby space.

"I've met Marquis Fang Wen!"

Everyone sent greetings.

Fang Yun glanced around, his bright eyes and night vision allowing him to see farther and clearer.

Dozens of people were scattered in various places dozens of feet away, including old acquaintances whom they had met at the Double Ninth Festival.

Xiao Guogong, Lei Yuanting and Jian Ming are all among them.

The three of them actually smiled together. Lei Yuanting even raised his chin high and handed over to Fang Yun.

It's not a greeting, more like a concession.

Fang Yun's expression did not change, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the students in front of him, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Wei Yu is right, no matter what my status is outside, now that I have entered the academy, I am just a student. "

Chang Dongyun said angrily: "You don't need to pay attention to this despicable villain! If he comes purely to fight for the top spot, I can at most give you a few words of advice, but he comes to harm you. This kind of person is simply a shame to the academy. ”

Fang Yun looked at Wei Yu and asked, "Do you want to compete for the top spot?"

"Of course." Wei Yu raised his head without fear and looked directly at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun smiled slightly and said: "I'm not very good at fighting for the upper house. After all, I haven't even seen the appearance of Lingyan Pavilion. How about you give me a step and fight with me to decide the upper house?"

Suddenly there was only the sound of rain falling, and no one could even breathe.

Fang Yunwen fought against one state for less than a month. Not only did he fight against ten people in a row with a mere title, but the tenth person was Xun Long, a genius Jinshi of the Xun family who far surpassed Wei Yu in talent and strength. Even if Xunlong was demoted from a scholar to a scholar, his literary prowess was far stronger than that of ordinary Jinshi.

In today's ten countries, Fang Yunwen's name is known to everyone. He can be called the king in the civil war. Some people have already concluded that even if the newly promoted Jinshi does not lower his position and fights with Fang Yunwen with all his strength, he will definitely be defeated.

Chang Dongyun immediately said: "Wei Yu, a scholar is willing to fight with you as a scholar, do you dare!"

Wei Yu closed his mouth tightly and said nothing, his eyes flashing with strange colors.

Fang Yun said slowly: "If it's not Wen Du, how dare you do Wen Zhan!"

Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, Fang Yun's face became calmer, but Wei Yu's face looked shocked.

This man who had been a Jinshi in Shangshe did not dare to fight Fang Yunwen!

There are no rules in civil war. It is a fight to the death between two people. Jinshi has an absolute advantage in using words and words. Even Yan Yukong, the former number one scholar, will definitely lose in the face of words and words.

Everyone looked at Fang Yun or Wei Yu, but no one dared to speak. Fang Yun's words were too bold, but Wei Yu didn't dare to answer.

"So I think highly of you." Fang Yun looked at Wei Yu, his expression calm as usual.
