The moon was at its zenith, blocking the star Wenqu. However, the light of Wenqu had a strange power and could not be blocked by the moon.
The light of Wenqu star and the moonlight complement each other, making the night as bright as dawn.
On the Yueyang Tower with golden tiles and red bricks, there was only a blue-robed university scholar standing on it.
The biggest secret of the literary gathering has been revealed. When everyone thought that Fang Yun would win without a doubt, the expressions of some people from the Zong family, the Lei family, Qing Jun and others changed strangely. At this time, they were not only not desperate, but were confident of victory.
Many people secretly asked those who knew the inside story, but the vast majority responded that it was impossible to say. Some people's answers were ambiguous, saying that they knew that the Zong and Lei families and the Qing Kingdom had a trump card, but they didn't know what it was.
However, at this time, even though many people realized that something was wrong, facing the arrogant Zong Wuyuan, everyone still unanimously believed that Fang Yun was the veteran.
Everyone was also a little sad. If Fang Yun really lost to Qingguo and Zong Lei this time, it would be such a pity.
Ge Yiming smiled and said, "Brother, why bother to wake up a person who has fallen into deep sleep. In Fang Yun's opinion, he should be invincible in Shengyuan Continent, so he can do whatever he wants. When he was in Ning'an County, he killed Ji Zhibai, a Jinshi of the ethnic group, and killed Lei Family Grand Secretary and Dragon King of Dragon Palace; when he was in Dragon Realm, he killed Lei Family Patriarch Lei Chongmo; when he arrived in Xiangzhou, he used all means to suppress our Qingjiang Company, and even secretly sent people to smash our shops and put the blame on the Qing people. Such behavior is too despicable! Lord Fang, I think, for your own face, you'd better resign from the position of governor, otherwise, tonight will be the darkest day for you in history books!"
Fang Yun looked at Ge Yiming and smiled back, saying, "When two countries fight, each relies on its own methods. Your Qing country's methods are better than our Jing country's. You have nurtured a Qingjiang business to bring disaster to Xiangzhou. I think this is a good strategy for Qing country. Even your trick of welcoming Qing Jun, I don't care. It's like a child playing house, not worth mentioning. It's just... you have been trying to plunge the entire Xiangzhou into chaos, causing riots again and again, putting the people in dire straits, and crossing my bottom line."
"So what?" Ge Yiming held his head high, not caring at all.
Qing Jun smiled and said, "Fang Xusheng, I forgot to tell you that I have already hired Ge Yiming as a teacher in the palace many days ago. He will also serve as a friendly guest between the two countries and shoulder the important task of exchanges between the two countries. The documents have arrived in Jingguo and have been approved by the cabinet. I have also read your Jingguo's receipt."
Ge Yiming smiled slightly and felt even more contented.
Many people were shocked. They did not expect that Ge Yiming would be given such an important position.
In ancient times, Dianke was one of the nine ministers among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, with a status equivalent to that of the current Dahonglu, who was in charge of a country's foreign affairs. The larger the country, the greater the authority of the Dahonglu.
Although countries no longer have a Dianmi (Prince of Friendship), they now have a Dianmi (Prince of Friendship). There is no actual rank, but everything is equivalent to a high-ranking official of the second rank.
The Minister of Friendship and Dianke is a foreign affairs official, who has always been a highly respected strategist or lobbyist, or at least a Hanlin, and is generally a Grand Secretary.
This position is usually of little use and may even be a sinecure, but when needed, it will become a bond between the two countries and is of vital importance.
And the friendly guest has another extremely important privilege, which is immunity from punishment!
As long as the friendly guest did not commit a serious crime of treason, even if it was treason or even murder, the monarch of one side had the right to have him interrogated in the country. Since he was appointed by the King of Qing, even if Ge Yiming committed a serious crime, according to convention, Jing State could only hold his nose and send him to Qing State.
Because foreign affairs personnel bear heavy responsibilities and not only represent the country but also face huge risks, the efforts of successive generations of strategists have finally allowed high-ranking foreign affairs personnel to obtain this privilege.
Not only ordinary people were surprised, even the Minister of Culture was stunned that as a member of the cabinet, he did not know about this.
Many officials of Jing State discussed it in a low voice, and found that only a small number of people knew about it. At that time, they did not think it was a big deal, but just thought it was a means used by Ge Baiwan to do business. They soon came to the truth that Liu Shan used the privileges of the left prime minister to cooperate with the people of the Honglu Temple to approve this document, and he might even have used some special means.
However, in any case, since there is already an official document, it means that Ge Yiming is already a goodwill guest of the two countries and has immunity.
The people of Baling City were angry and began to curse Ge Yiming. Even by now, even the dumbest people understood that Ge Yiming had long had the intention of treason.
Ge Yiming was not ashamed but proud of it. He even took out a fan and fanned it gently, looking at Fang Yun proudly.
Seeing his behavior, not only the people of Xiangzhou were dissatisfied, but even many people from other countries were slightly dissatisfied.
Wu Jun snorted coldly and said with a thunderous tongue: "If this kind of beast was in Wu State, I would have slapped him to death long ago!"
Li Fanming couldn't help but say, "I see this person's face looks a bit unlucky for me."
The big rabbit was a little depressed. He could neither say that Qing was a dog barking at the snow nor that Qing was a donkey at his wit's end, because Ge Yiming was still from Xiangzhou, a citizen of Jingguo.
Just as everyone was about to hear what Fang Yun had to say, Zong Ganyu glanced at Lei Tingzhen.
Lei Tingzhen understood and said with thunderous tongue: "Dear guests, dear human friends, I am Lei Tingzhen. I came here this time only because killing someone means paying with one's life, which is only natural. The previous head of our Lei family, Lei Chongmo, was kind-hearted and generous, and he did not do any evil. In order to be promoted to a great scholar as soon as possible and kill monsters and barbarians, he entered the Dragon Clan's battle world to practice. But the thief Fang Yun held a grudge and secretly sneaked into the battle world, succeeded in a sneak attack, and assassinated him. You have all heard about the relationship between our Lei family and the Dragon Clan. Back then, all the elders of our Lei family visited the Dragon Clan, even at the cost of their face, and finally asked the four seas Dragon Saints to gather at Liangjie Mountain to repel the monsters and barbarians. The Dragon Clan is the disciple of my Lei family's ancestor, so they call our Lei family ancestor Lei Shi."
Many people wanted to curse the Lei family, but when they heard Lei Tingzhen talking about the first battle between the two worlds mountains, they all shut up. The Lei family had problems all over, but only on this matter, no one dared to speak rudely to them.
"We are here not even to expect Fang Xusheng to pay for his life. He is a virtual saint, he has privileges, as long as he does not go against his race, he will not be sentenced to death. However, heaven and earth will have justice! We only hope that he, as a virtual saint of the human race, will give us justice, admit that he killed the head of the Lei family, and admit that he made a mistake."
"After Chongmo passed away, we did want revenge, but we also knew that the hatred between our two families was too deep, and we could do nothing if Fang Xusheng wanted revenge. Originally, we thought that the matter would be forgotten. After all, too many people in our Lei family died because of this, and we can no longer afford to see too many old people send off the young. But what makes us sad is that after returning from the Dragon Realm, Fang Yun did not say a word about this matter, and did not apologize to our Lei family at all. Not to mention burning paper for Chongmo, he has never even visited Chongmo's grave! It is unbearable, and there is no need to endure it anymore!"
Lei Tingzhen looked up and stared at Fang Yun.
"Since Fang Xusheng won't give our Lei family justice, then our Lei family will ask for justice here!"
