There is a large open space at the entrance of Yanwei Lane in Ning'an City. It used to be a pile of garbage, but after it was thoroughly cleared, it became a place for people nearby to play. It is said that County Magistrate Xiaofang wants to turn this place into a public park. People don't know what it is, but it must be better than before.
When night falls, many chessboards are set up, including chess and go. There are many people watching around each chessboard. Occasionally, someone will talk about it, but they will be forced to shut up by the words "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word."
The autumn wind was brisk, and the old ladies were chatting about family matters, neighbors, and relatives under the dim moonlight, and occasionally there were bursts of laughter.
There were also well-fed and well-drinking scholars gathered together. They disdained to talk with laymen. They wore scholar's robes, wrote passionate articles, and commented on the country's affairs.
There were also many children chasing and running, spreading their laughter everywhere.
Suddenly, Fang Yun's voice rang out and everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that such a big thing would suddenly happen in the peaceful Ning'an City.
"Are these demons going to attack the city? Don't be afraid. With Saint Fang Xu here, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yes, Saint Fang Xu is protected by a great scholar, and we also have a holy temple here. I don't believe that the monster can succeed!"
"Let's go to the Patrol Office and sign up to join the army!"
"As a man of letters, you should serve your country with passion and sacrifice your life on the battlefield!"
"Walk!"
When the children heard this, they all helped Fang Yun and followed him, shouting, but they were stopped by the adults. Everyone became nervous and started walking towards home.
However, when the voice of Dragon King Ao Wo, full of dragon clan majesty, appeared, everyone was at a loss as to what to do.
"The Dragon Clan attacked the human city? Didn't Jingguo only have that happen in Yuhai City? And that was just training, not really fighting!"
"The Dragon Saint's Decree? Oh my god, who did County Magistrate Xiaofang offend? The Dragon Saint is equivalent to our human race's Half Saint. The Dragon Saint's words are exactly the same as the Half Saint's Decree!"
"Did... County Magistrate Xiaofang make a huge mistake?"
"It's possible."
"Alas... what a pity!"
"Bullshit! If Magistrate Fang makes a mistake, there will be the Jingguo court below and the Saint Academy above. When will it be the Dragon Clan's turn to give orders here? It's obvious that the Dragon Clan wants to harm Fang Xusheng!"
"Yes! This is the truth! If Fang Xusheng had done anything wrong, the Saint Academy would have announced it to the world and sent a semi-saint to capture him personally. Would the dragon army be needed?"
"Haha, I don't know how the Dragon Clan helps the human race, but I see how Fang Xusheng helps us! Dragon Clan? Even if the Dragon Saint comes, I'm not afraid! I'm a human! Come on, follow me to protect Ning'an City! Protect Fang Xusheng!"
"Yes. Protect Fang Xusheng! Damn it, Ning'an County has finally become so good, we can't let the dragon clan destroy it!"
"Walk!"
Everyone went to the patrol office, but there were far fewer people than at the beginning.
In the minds of ordinary people, the dragon clan is still an insurmountable mountain.
Suddenly, another loud dragon voice sounded.
"People of Ning'an County, I am the little yellow dragon beside Fang Yun. I am a real dragon. The one who just spoke can only be regarded as a little black snake. Don't listen to his nonsense! Let me put it this way, those bastards in the North Sea Dragon Palace are bullying people. They want to ruin Fang Yun's foundation and prevent Fang Yun from becoming the top scholar! People of Ning'an County. Don't be fooled by the North Sea Dragon Palace. What can the North Sea Dragon Palace give you? Where is Fang Xusheng? The imperial edict of the North Sea Dragon Palace is nothing. Only the East Sea Dragon Palace is useful. We have sent people from the East Sea Dragon Palace. As long as the North Sea Dragon Palace dares to come, we will kill them! To go against Fang Yun is to go against our East Sea Dragon Palace! No one in heaven or on earth can save you!"
The people at the entrance of Yanwei Alley were even more confused. What happened today was really bizarre.
"Everyone knows Little Yellow Dragon. He is a real dragon from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea! Among the dragons, the East China Sea is the most respected! What's more, he is a real dragon! What is a real dragon? He is the true emperor. Compared with a real dragon, ordinary dragons are just bandit leaders!"
"I said Fang Xusheng would not make mistakes, it turns out that it was the North Sea Dragon Palace that was harming people!"
"With the East China Sea Dragon Palace stepping in, what do we have to fear?"
"Let's go and lend a helping hand to Fang Xusheng!"
Many scholars deliberately shouted loudly, not only to reassure the people, but also to make many hesitant people make up their minds.
In just a few dozen breaths, the number of young and strong people ready to sign up for the war doubled.
Above the county government office, Dragon King Ao Wo shouted angrily: "Fang Yun, if you have the ability, don't use the official seal and block my voice!" However, his voice could only be heard ten feet away.
The energy of the Holy Temple cannot attack them, but it has other magical uses.
The Leiwu tried to release spring thunder with his tongue, but the result was the same as that of the Dragon King Ao Wo.
Lei Wu attempted to use his official seal to mobilize the talents of the Holy Temple, but a flash of light flashed across Zhou Qiantian's official seal, and with his identity as a member of the Criminal Hall, he completely sealed Lei Wu's official seal.
"Zhou Qingtian, you used public resources for personal gain. The Lei family will never let this go!" Lei Wu said.
Zhou Qingtian said slowly: "Oh? Is there anyone from the Lei family who dares to fight with this old man?"
Lei Wu closed his mouth and could not say a word. Zhou Qingtian was one of the most powerful Confucian scholars in the human race. He was ranked very high on the Confucian scholar hunting list in the demon world. The highest-ranked Confucian scholar in the Lei family was ranked twenty places after Zhou Qingtian, and they were far from being comparable.
Fang Yun said nothing and continued to use the official seal to issue orders and prepare for war.
Just half an hour later, a convoy consisting of a large number of dragon horses and armored ox carts appeared outside the South City Gate. A middle-aged man in Jinshi clothing said with thunderous words: "Tong County Magistrate Zhu Xu will mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the county to come to our aid!"
"County Magistrate Zhu is so righteous. Fang Yun will never forget him. Please come into the city!" Fang Yun responded with a swift response.
There was no need to be eloquent when coming to provide assistance, but County Magistrate Zhu understood that what Ning'an County needed most at the moment was to appease the people, so he used his eloquence as soon as he arrived to help Fang Yun relieve the pressure.
Many people in Ning'an County breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Ning'an was not an isolated city!
Two hours later, it was almost midnight and a new convoy came from the east. This convoy was longer than the previous ones, and there were probably tens of thousands of people on board.
"Qingwu prefect Cai He, come and help Fang Xusheng!" Cai He's voice like spring thunder resounded over Ning'an City.
"Prefect Cai sent timely help. I am very grateful to you. Please enter the city!"
Not long after, a flying paper boat came from the north and arrived over Ning'an City.
The leader had a thick beard and wore golden armor, under which he wore a white and black Hanlin robe.
"I'm Zhang Poyue, let's see which bastard is running to Ning'an to make trouble! Fang Yun, I'll keep my word and give you a gift!"
As Zhang Poyue finished speaking, he saw a royal eagle demon commander beside him let out a clear eagle cry, soared into the sky, and circled over Ning'an City, his eyes shining like bright lights.
Fang Yun was talking with Magistrate Zhu and Prefect Cai in the county government office. When he heard that Zhang Poyue had arrived early, he shouted loudly: "General Zhang, please come to the county government office for a chat!" Then he looked up at the sky.
On the day Zhang Poyue left Yuhai City, Fang Yun sent him a poem, and Zhang Poyue said he was going to the north to capture a royal eagle demon for Fang Yun. Today, he actually brought an eagle demon commander. (To be continued...)
