The Gou family immediately took out the weapons they had prepared long ago. Chai Song and Xiang Lan stared at Fang Yun, their muscles tensed, and their talents and the vitality of heaven and earth began to attract each other.
"You can't walk out of the Gou family's door!" Chai Song said in a deep voice, like a ferocious wolf.
"Brother Zhang, please hand over the things. You are a Hanlin and a marquis of a country. You shouldn't do such things!" Xiang Lan said.
Fang Yun looked at Xiang Lan and sneered, "When the Gou family robbed my Zhang family's things and harmed my Zhang family's people, did you ever say anything? At that time, you didn't even dare to fart! You two are qualified to criticize me?"
Xiang Lan's face darkened and he kept silent. Chai Song laughed and said, "We are not qualified to criticize others, but it is natural to scold a traitor! Two traitors in one family, really..."
"My grandfather is not a traitor!" Zhang Jing'an shouted loudly, his eyes blazing with fire.
At this time, Gou Han ran out of the secret room: "Uncles, quickly capture this robber, he has stolen all the treasures in my Gou family's secret room!"
Xiang Lan said nothing, but Chai Song's eyes and tongue moved slightly.
Fang Yun leaned forward slightly, stared into Chai Song's eyes, and said slowly: "Are you going to assassinate Zhujiang Hou?"
The surging cold air invaded in all directions with Fang Yun as the center.
The well-mannered Xiang Lan immediately winked at Chai Song.
Chai Song raised his head proudly, looked at Fang Yun with contempt, and said: "Don't think that you are no longer a rebellious Hanlin just because you are out of prison! If I kill you, all scholars in the world will regard me as a role model!"
"The premise is that you can kill him." Fang Yun said.
"Hand it over!" Gou Han behind him shouted.
Fang Yun smiled, turned around lazily, and said, "Hand over what?"
"Hand over my Gou family's treasures!"
Fang Yun smiled, looked at Zhang Jing'an, and asked, "Do you remember what that bastard Gou Zhi said when he stole the flag of my Pearl River Army?"
Zhang Jing'an's face turned red, and he said angrily: "That little dog said, 'Come to our Gou family and get it if you want!'"
Fang Yun nodded and said, "So I came!"
Gou Han clenched his fists, glared at him, and said, "Zhang Longxiang. If you have the guts, wait for my father to come back!"
"I never thought about leaving. Take out the flag of the Pearl River Army, and don't force me to tear down the Gou family!" Fang Yun said.
Gou Han turned to look at Chai Song and Xiang Lan, begging, "Uncles, you have seen it too. Zhang Longxiang broke into the Qishan Marquis's mansion, robbed my Gou family's belongings, and even wanted to demolish my Gou family. Please get rid of this traitor! Father has sent a letter, all the blame will be borne by my Gou family!"
Xiang Lan was hesitant, and Chai Song said, "Don't worry, nephew, he won't dare to act wildly with me here! Zhang Longxiang, hand over the Gou family's belongings, or you will never be able to walk out of this door!"
"I have been in prison for ten years. I didn't expect that the good-for-nothing guy back then would be able to bark in front of me. How interesting." Fang Yun suddenly smiled.
Chai Song smiled contemptuously and said, "Zhang Longxiang, I think you have become stupid after being in prison for ten years! I was not inferior to you back then. But you have a good father who is superior to the Grand Secretary of the same generation. Now you are not even as good as an ordinary Hanlin, and you dare to laugh at me, one of the Eight Young Scholars? Ridiculous."
"I'm not just laughing at you, I'm also laughing at everyone who is close to the Gou family. You're all idiots!" Fang Yun stretched out his hand, pointed at Chai Song's nose and cursed.
"You..." Chai Song was furious.
"I, Zhang Longxiang, am standing here. Do you dare to touch a hair on my head? You don't dare! Get out of the way and don't block my way!" Fang Yun said bluntly.
Xiang Lan frowned. Zhang Longxiang did occasionally speak arrogantly back then. But he didn't expect that after ten years in prison, he still retained this arrogance. He was even more hesitant in his heart, wondering if Zhang Longxiang was really the same as before or was deliberately provoking him to establish his authority.
Chai Song said angrily: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If I take action, I will naturally kill you in a life-and-death literary battle! Let me ask you, do you dare to fight me in a life-and-death literary battle?"
"Since you are seeking death, I won't be polite. After dealing with Gou Zhi, I can fight you to the death at any time, but... don't be afraid when the time comes." Fang Yun smiled slightly. But the smile was extremely cold, and there seemed to be a world-destroying beast hidden in his eyes.
The servants of the Gou family who were present felt a chill all over their bodies. Other scholars also vaguely felt that Zhang Longxiang really seemed to have the power of a dragon and an elephant, and felt threatened by him.
"Gou Zhi? Hahaha... Although there is no recognized ranking of the Eight Young Talents, we have already ranked them privately. Gou Zhi firmly occupies the first place in the ranking of the Eight Young Talents. Some people even say that he is not inferior to the young prince Xiong Yucan, who is one of the Eight Young Talents in the literary world. And Xiong Yucan is already a Grand Secretary and is about to lead the Chu army to Liangjie Mountain!" Chai Song said.
Fang Yun deliberately showed a nostalgic look when he heard Xiong Yucan's name. Xiong Yucan was a member of the royal family of the Chu State, and was of the same generation as Zhang Longxiang. Although the two were not close friends, they were also friends with a good relationship.
"I didn't expect that Yu Can is already a Grand Secretary. This is cause for celebration..." Fang Yun said, glancing at Chai Song. "As for Gou Zhi, how can he be compared with Yu Can? You can lick the Gou family's ass crack, but don't dirty my ears!"
“You…” Chai Song’s face flushed red, as if he was exposed in public.
Xiang Lan said, "Brother Zhang, there is no point in saying more. Since you are so confident, please wait for Gou Zhi to come back before you settle with us. Now that the Gou family is alone, you are bullying the Gou family with your status as a Hanlin, which is too arrogant. Be careful that the censors will impeach you!"
Fang Yun ignored Xiang Lan, stretched out his hand to rub Zhang Jing'an's hair, and said with a smile: "Do you know who I hate the most? It's this guy named Xiang Lan. When Gou Zhi farted, he would smack his lips and savor it carefully, and then praise Gou Zhi for what a delicious meal he had yesterday. I can't bully a Jinshi, but the Gou family can bully a child of a few years old. This kind of villain really deserves to be paraded through the streets with his mouth sewn shut."
"Well said!" Zhang Jing'an nodded vigorously.
Xiang Lan had always maintained a polite image, but there was still a flash of anger in his eyes. However, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "It seems that Brother Zhang has been in prison for a long time and no one has talked to him, so he has become more talkative. If you are a scholar, don't say these useless nonsense. It's not too late to talk after you beat Brother Gou!"
"Zhang Longxiang, if you have the guts, just wait for my father to come back! Then you will see how my father will cut you into pieces!" said Gou Han.
"First, take out the flag of my Zhang family's Pearl River Army!" Fang Yun said.
Gou Han snorted and said, "I'll give it to you right away! I want to see how you leave with the banner!" Gou Han said and left the library.
Fang Yun did not follow, but walked slowly to the main hall of the Gou family, sat down unceremoniously on one of the two main seats, and said: "Jing'an, sit on the chair next to me."
Zhang Jingan asked in a low voice: "Is this okay?"
"When the Gou family hurt Uncle Hua and smashed the Zhang Mansion, they didn't ask if it was okay." Fang Yundao looked at the sky outside the door.
"Yes!" Zhang Jing'an sat on it immediately.
Chai Song, Xiang Lan and the rest of the Gou family stood in the corridor outside the main hall, talking in low voices.
After a while, Gou Han stood at the door carrying a rolled-up flag and threw it into the house.
Fang Yun stretched out his hand, took the big flag in his hand, and held it tightly. (To be continued.)
