The Path of the Sage

Chapter 426: Fight for the upper hand

Views:

Several people entered the yard, and Yang Yuhuan was a little tired. Fang Yun sent her into the room, 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 today's first game, Zhao Hongzhuang allowed Fang Jian to use his talents. An hour later, Zhao Hongzhuang went all out and finally won with an advantage of two and a half eyes. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, as if they were fished out of the water.

"Even if you are the best chess player in the world, you are the only one who can push me to this level. The Jinshi chess players under the age of 30 in the academy can only play 50-50 against me. I can no longer teach you the way of chess. Come on, starting tomorrow, you and I will learn how to play chess."

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

Zhao Hongzhuang rolled her eyes at Fang Yun with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, and said: "Put away the chess game, I can still teach you painting for a few months."

"Um."

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

Before the two of them stood up, they heard the sound of water dripping from the eaves and the patter of drizzle. There were voices coming from the door, and the sound of rain falling on the oilcloth umbrella. The sound was not loud, but it was very broad, as if there was something there. Hundreds of umbrellas were spread out in the rain.

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

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

"Brother Dongyun, this is wrong. The ten upper houses have always been the holy land for the students of the Academy. There are more than ten times a year for the upper houses, and you don't come forward every time. You only came forward today. You may not have any good intentions. I have never come forward. I don’t question Fang Yun’s talent. I even think he is qualified to live in the upper house. However, this is a school and there are school rules! If the school allows me to compete for the upper house, then I can fight, no matter whether the other party is Fang. Ji Zhibai is destined to become the number one scholar in the near future. As long as I don’t violate the rules of the academy, no one can stop me!”

Chang Dongyun said: "A gentleman has some things to do and some things not to do. The rules of the academy are great. But the morality in our hearts is greater. If Fang Yun was an ordinary student, you would fight over it, but he is the pillar of our Jingguo." , It has only been a few days since he entered the palace. If he is forced to leave Shangshe, it will be a disaster for our name in Jingguo."

"The literary name must be correct, true, and real. If a person clearly has no ability to firmly occupy the top position but occupies the magpie's nest, this is a literary name that is blasphemous to Jingguo."

"What if Fang's luck is hit hard because of this?" Chang Dongyun asked.

Wei Yu laughed loudly and said: "Since we are all students in the academy, there is no distinction between superior and inferior! Don't talk about fortune. From the top to a saint to the bottom to a child, if you can't even withstand such a blow, how can you have the face to call yourself a man? Scholar? If he is really hit, it proves that I am right to fight for his upper house! "

"There is nothing better than bullying a small one with a big one! Don't forget that Fang Yun is just a judge so far, he is still just a young man!"

Wei Yu sneered and said: "Brother Dongyun has always been eager for public justice and I admire him very much, but today you have tried every means to protect Fang Yun. I'm afraid you have ulterior motives. Are you trying to flatter Fang Yun? It's not like that. Fang Yun has enemies all over the world. Don't you? Would you be that stupid? Or are you interested in this house?"

"If you want to impose a crime, why bother? I, Chang Dongyun, am such a villain!"

"Then it's not a gentleman's behavior for you to stop me from competing for the top spot!" Wei Yu said.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. Tomorrow is the monthly entrance to Lingyan Pavilion. It won't be too late when we arrive at Lingyan Pavilion!"

"You seem to have forgotten that once the fight for the upper house fails, Fang Yun will not only be punished by cleaning the toilets for a month, but also unless the fight for the upper house is successful within a month, he will not be allowed to enter Lingyan Pavilion for a year! Fang Yun is even a man of fate. Once the wizard loses, it is impossible for him to succeed in the fight within a month! What Wei Yu wants is to force Fang Yun to be unable to enter Lingyan Pavilion for a year! Otherwise, there is no reason to explain Wei Yu! Why are you so eager to compete with Fang Yun today?" Chang Dongyun's tone became more severe as he spoke.

Whispers sounded, and people outside the door were talking about it.

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

The two looked at each other.

Zhao Hongzhuang looked serious and lowered her voice: "This time, I hope you will listen to me and let me find out the facts first. Even if I can't stop Wei Yu from fighting for the top spot, I can give you more time to think."

Fang Yun looked at Zhao Hongzhuang's resolute face and sighed softly: "Okay, you can test his tone first. However, since he dares to come, he must have been prepared, and you may fall into the trap if you are not careful."

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

The chaotic sounds outside fell silent, followed by greetings one after another.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"I've seen the red-zhuang princess."

"Senior Zhuzhen is well."

Everyone addressed him in different ways, and except for a few who disagreed, most of them were very respectful.

Zhao Hongzhuang nodded slightly and found that in addition to hundreds of students holding umbrellas standing nearby, there were also people in the distance. But she wasn't even a child. She couldn't see clearly at night and couldn't see people in the distance. She just felt uncomfortable.

Zhao Hongzhuang said: "Hongzhuang has met you all. Who is Wei Yu?"

I saw a person put down the umbrella in his hand, and he was full of energy, and the rain naturally kept away from him.

"That's it."

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 indeed a princess of a country. Knowing too many things leads to results that others cannot deduce.

"Click..."

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

Maybe it was the flash of lightning. As a result, Wei Yu's face turned extremely 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, and then looked at Zhao Hongzhuang. 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 of the Academy! Regardless of whether I am the son-in-law of the Lei family, today I will I am qualified to compete with Fang Yun! As a student of Jingguo, even Minister Wen cannot expel me from the academy at will!"

Zhao Hongzhuang said: "Just admit that you are the dog of the Lei family. You may be arrogant today, but 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 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 was no trace of water on his cloth shoes.

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

Fang Yun opened the ajar door completely and walked out of the threshold. Stand on the steps and scan 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 the only sound left on the scene was 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 rank, 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 the rank of scholar, his literary strength 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 against 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 for Jinshi Wen, 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. (To be continued...)
