Fang Yun had never looked at the literary list before, and he didn't know how many of his works would be on the list when it was changed to the Xuemei Literary Club list, but the three pieces written in prison and the poem calling for the sword must be on the list. That alone made four pieces, and with "Fu on Afang Palace" and "Farewell to Li Wenying", there were already six pieces on the list.
"We'll know the outcome tomorrow," Fang Yun said.
"It's enough to have more than seven papers on the same list in one subject. If you have ten papers on the same list and dominate the entire Ding list, you will definitely have a new nickname. How about 'Fang Ba Bang'?"
Several people laughed.
"It's great to be on the literary list." Su Xiaoxiao whispered.
Zhao Hongzhuang and Yang Yuhuan also showed envy after hearing this.
Fang Yun smiled and consoled him: "Perhaps in the near future, you women will also be able to take part in the imperial examinations."
"I don't know how many thousand years it will be." Zhao Hongzhuang complained in a low voice.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "In the near future, it will definitely happen. You have to believe my eyes, because they can see through the long river of history."
"Bullshit!" Zhao Hongzhuang glared at Fang Yun with a smile.
Ao Huang added: "Dragon skin, it's the dragon skin that is blown. Fang Yun is too good at blowing. The cowhide will burst if it is blown. Only dragon skin can do that."
"Ah ah!" Nunu angrily waved his little claws and slapped Ao Huang's dragon back, forbidding him to argue with Fang Yun.
Yang Yuhuan and the other two covered their mouths and chuckled.
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me!" Ao Huang was lying in the car, sleeping with his eyes closed. His eyeballs kept rolling under his eyelids. No one knew what he was thinking.
Before the carriage arrived at the Fang family's gate, the coachman whispered, "Master, you'd better take a look. There are so many people in front of the gate, it's a bit weird."
The Fang family's doorman's voice just happened to ring out: "Don't worry! I'll write them down one by one. Hey, what do you have in here? How can it be so heavy? Give me the gift list and I'll write it down."
Fang Yun opened the curtains a little and looked out. He saw that there were more people queuing outside the door today than yesterday. Yesterday, the people queuing were just sending visiting cards or invitations, but today, most of the people queuing were carrying gift boxes wrapped in red silk. Many of the gift boxes were carried by two people. The line was endless, with nearly a thousand people.
Fang calculated that the noble families, wealthy families and famous families in the capital would all send gifts, and the personnel stationed in Jingguo from various countries or noble families would also send gifts. Some noble families sent more than 20 people to send gifts, so this team of several hundred people was not large.
The concierge was obviously recording the names and gifts of each family. These could not be neglected. In the future, they would have to return the gifts according to this gift list. Any mistake would lead to misunderstandings. It might even lead to a bad reputation. The more powerful the family, the more attention should be paid to these details.
"Enter through the back door." Fang Yun said.
The coachman turned the horse around and stopped in front of the small gate in the backyard. Fang Yun got off the carriage and the coachman just opened the door to the backyard.
"Squeak..."
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment. Behind the door, he saw Yangui taking serious steps to escape. After the door opened, Yangui looked up at Fang Yun and others.
Yangui's eyes were filled with despair.
Fang Yun shook his head and said, "Nunu, take it back to the study."
"Oh oh!" Nunu volunteered to drag Yan Gui to the study.
"Silly turtle!" Ao Huang got out of the car and flew around the yard like a big fish swimming in the water, stretching his muscles.
Fang Yun did not enter the yard. Instead, he asked them to keep the back door open and went to the battlefield.
Fang Yun took a few steps, and Ao Huang used his two claws to hold onto the top of the wall, with his dragon head sticking out of the wall. He said, "Fang Yun, are you going to the battlefield?"
"Yeah." Fang Yun nodded.
"Can you take me out for some fun?" Ao Huang looked at Fang Yun pitifully, swinging his dragon tail involuntarily.
Fang Yun was about to refuse, but thinking about how pitiful it was for Ao Huang, a real dragon, to stay at home all day, he said, "I just need a sparring partner. Let's have a sparring session."
"Good! Good! Good!" Ao Huang immediately jumped out of the yard, followed happily behind and started nagging.
"Let me be your sparring partner in literary battles from now on. I am a real dragon, more powerful than those monsters. You will participate in the Spring Hunt on the Lantern Festival, and kill monsters with the Jinshi of Jing. I can imitate the attack methods of several difficult races and help you adapt to them. As far as I know, there are monster generals outside the hunting ground, monster marshals equivalent to Jinshi inside, and monster marshals equivalent to Hanlin in the deepest part. If Jing wants to get a better ranking, it must kill monster marshals."
Fang Yun looked at Ao Huang in surprise and said, "You know quite a lot."
"Of course! I am a well-read, learned dragon, a dragon of knowledge... Of course, I am not as good as you, but I know as much about the secret history of the universe as you do. After all, our dragon race is the oldest race."
"Isn't it the imperial family?" Fang Yun asked.
Ao Huang looked flustered and said, "Anyway, the Ancestral Dragon and the Imperial Clan lived in the same era. But let's not talk about this, let's talk about now! By the way, you should be careful of the Lei family in the future. If the Lei family catches us with something, our East Sea Dragon Palace is fine, but the other three seas Dragon Palaces will definitely cooperate with the Lei family and sever ties with you."
"What is the relationship between the Lei Ancestor of the Lei family and the dragon clan?" Fang Yun asked.
Ao Huang shook his head like a dog shaking off water and said, "I can't tell you. I absolutely can't tell you. The matter of Master Lei is a top secret that coexists with Zulong, just like the Kong family will never talk about Confucius!"
Fang Yun was slightly surprised and said, "In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, Thunder Ancestor... No, Thunder Master's status is on par with Confucius?"
Ao Huang tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Strictly speaking, in the eyes of our dragon clan, Master Lei has a higher status than Confucius. I cannot tell you why, but in short, you just need to be careful of the Lei family."
"I see."
Fang Yun took a few steps and felt a sudden vibration in the north. He frowned and looked towards the northern sky. He saw dark clouds rolling in the northern sky, with lightning and thunder in the clouds. For some reason, Fang Yun felt that the dark clouds seemed to be pressing on his heart.
Ao Huang suddenly screamed behind him: "Damn it! Half-Saint Wolf Slaughter has gone crazy!"
Fang Yun was frightened when he heard the name Lang Lu. This Lang Lu was a ruthless character of the wolf clan and a demon king. After becoming a demon, he evaded the surveillance of the saints of the human race and sneaked into the Shengyuan Continent from the demon world.
The genius demon kings or barbarian kings in the demon world are most reluctant to come to the Shengyuan Continent, because the Shengyuan Continent cannot be illuminated by the demon moon, and the star power it obtains is far less than that of the demon world. If they are successfully canonized, they will not be able to return to the demon world, not to mention that the canonization will fail. However, Langlu was successfully canonized.
Not only that, Langlu also successfully ambushed Chen Guanhai, causing Chen Guanhai, who was already injured in the battle of Liangjie Mountain, to be further injured. It was determined that Chen Guanhai would die within five years.
In Fang Yun's opinion, the most crucial point is that Langlu has a very good relationship with Bingmansheng, and Bingmansheng will definitely bear a grudge because Fang Yun was killed by Shushan in the demon ancestor's gate.
Fang Yun felt more and more uneasy and asked hurriedly: "What..."
Before he could finish his words, a violent and ferocious wolf howl spread throughout the world, causing pain in Fang Yun's eardrums.
"Next year, when the first snow falls, we will annihilate the Kingdom of Jing!"
As the demon's words were transmitted, the dark clouds in the entire north suddenly turned into blood clouds!
Blood began to rain over the vast grassland.
"It's actually the Demon Saint Order!" Fang Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the northern sky. He felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart, as well as a trace of panic that he couldn't hide.
"Damn it! What's wrong with him? The Demon Saint gives an order, and hundreds of millions of barbarians will gather together to attack Jing Kingdom. Jing Kingdom will be destroyed!" (To be continued...)
