The flying boat moved slowly all the way and landed outside the county government office.
Fang Yun lifted his robe and slowly walked down the stairs at the door.
Zhang Poyue strode down from the flying leaf sky boat. His tall and majestic figure was like a mountain, covering half of the night sky.
Zhang Poyue looked Fang Yun up and down and said with a smile: "It's been over a year since we last saw each other in Yuhai City. You've grown taller and become more of a man. Do you want to..." Zhang Poyue looked up at the three-headed dragon and the thunder crow in the sky, his eyes flashing with cold stars, and then he looked at Fang Yun.
"Should we kill them all first?" Zhang Poyue grinned, his white teeth emitting a faint cold light in the night.
“How dare you!” Dragon King Ao Wo was furious and made a move to pounce.
Zhang Poyue raised his head, his spine as straight as a mountain wall, and sneered: "When I was in Yuhai City, I teamed up with Jianmei Gong and fought against the dragon clan. How could I lose? It's a pity that the dragon patrol ship is not here, otherwise it would have directly hit you to death!"
Ao Wo instinctively shrank his neck and turned his head to look around. The dragon patrol boat was the crystallization of the power of the human race's engineers and Mohists, and it was suppressed by the true texts of great Confucian scholars and even semi-saints. Once it attacked with all its strength, no one in the dragon clan except the Dragon Saint could resist it. In the absence of dragon clan treasures, the dragons of the four seas could only go around it when they encountered the dragon patrol boat.
Ten years ago in the East China Sea, Ao Yuwei was invincible. After Ao Yuwei went into seclusion, Li Wenying and Zhang Poyue arrived at Yuhai City and became the twin pillars of the human race, defeating the dragon clan navy. A few years ago, the dragon clans of the other three seas were not convinced and secretly helped the East China Sea Dragon Palace to attack Yuhai City, but were finally defeated.
Lei Wu sneered, "Even a great scholar like me doesn't dare to say that I can compete with the Dragon King. How dare a mere Hanlin make such a bold statement? The people of Jing are simply sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
Zhang Poyue reached out and touched his thick beard, then hooked his finger at Lei Wu and said, "I have ten Jinshi behind me, plus Fang Yun, we have eleven Jinshi working together to kill a Dragon King. It's not a difficult task! Why don't we go outside the city and try?"
Lei Wu's eyes changed, and he hurriedly stopped Ao Wo who was eager to try, and whispered: "Don't fall into Zhang Poyue's trap. He is a top Hanlin, and a military man who values killing. If the Grand Secretary does not use the Wentai, he will be suppressed by him. Add to that the eleven experienced Jinshi, once they use the Blood and Red Heart, they will definitely kill the Dragon King! They are military men. It will make a huge difference whether the twelve people join forces or not!"
Ao Wo thought about it, and finally nodded, saying: "I will not bother with you frogs in the well. When the dragon army arrives tomorrow, I will let you see the true power of our dragon clan! I will tell you what it means to move mountains and seas, and what it means to call the wind and rain!"
Zhang Poyue smiled and walked inside with Fang Yun, saying as they walked: "Did you see that? The North Sea Dragon Palace is full of dragons without eggs. They can only curl up in the crotch of the Dragon Saint and call the wind and rain. Let's go inside and talk. As for tomorrow, we will kill as many as come! I heard that the talented people of the human race are rushing here?"
"Indeed, the students of the Holy Academy have already set out, and scholars from all over the country are also ready to help in the battle. However... the court cannot issue any orders until the Half-Saint issues an imperial edict." Fang Yun said.
Zhang Poyue sighed and said, "It would be great if Lord Jianmei was here. If he were here, it would not be a question of whether to defend Ning'an or not. It would be a question of whether we can kill our way to the gate of the North Sea Dragon Palace. No problem, our human race is united as one. Tomorrow, Ning'an will be the burial place of all the dragons in the North Sea!"
"I'll take you to meet everyone in the Holy Academy first." Fang Yun said.
"good."
Fang Yun brought Zhang Poyue into the main hall of the county government. Zhou Qingtian closed his eyes and remained silent, his mind wandering in the sky, but the Four Extremes Ancient Sword was hanging high above the county government, intimidating the dragon clan. Everyone knew that he was practicing silently and did not disturb him. Next to him were the university scholars stationed in Ning'an City from the Criminal Hall, Agricultural Hall, Industrial Hall and Medical Hall.
These people have responsibilities as they have to deal with matters involving both clans. They cannot take the initiative to attack without the order from the Semi-Saint or the Dragon Clan attacking the city.
After that, Fang Yun received letters continuously.
"The governor, the governor-general, and the governor-general have led their troops to a place 500 miles away, and they will reach Ning'an City before dawn."
"Students from the Holy Academy, Kongcheng, and various countries have gathered one after another. The momentum is huge. There are more than a hundred flying boats and dozens of flying boats. They have crossed the Yangtze River and will reach Ning'an before dawn."
"Minister Jiang Hechuan has issued an ultimatum. Regardless of whether the left minister and his party support sending troops before dawn, he will personally lead his men to Ning'an City!"
"The heads of the various families in Jing State have gathered together, and they seem to be preparing to go to Ning'an tomorrow."
Ao Huang also brought good news: "In the battle tomorrow, if Ning'an City cannot be defended, my sister will lead all the dragons from the East China Sea Dragon Palace to come! If the Dragon Saint does not come out, my sister will be invincible!"
Qing State, official road.
A blue-robed university scholar, who was on a meteoric rise, was heading from north to south when he stopped an ox-drawn cart that was speeding north.
There was only one ox-drawn cart driver, one servant and one Jinshi (a successful candidate in the imperial examination).
The scholar who was over fifty years old slowly got off the carriage, with a kind smile on his face, and his eyes fell on the face of the university scholar.
"I am Liu Banfeng, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet the governor." Liu Banfeng, the prefect of Huangshan Prefecture, bowed respectfully.
"Thirty years ago, when we first met at Xiangsheng Academy, you said that those who cause chaos in the world are the people of the world. Do you remember?"
"I remember."
"Twenty-five years ago, I hosted a banquet for new scholars. You said that Jingguo had no one and Qingguo could take its place. Do you remember?"
"I remember."
"Seventeen years ago, when you first entered the court, you were unyielding and denounced the treacherous officials. Do you remember?"
"I remember."
"Four years ago, you said that you couldn't be a good official, but you could be a good prefect. Do you remember?"
"I remember."
"Two years ago, you wrote to the Qing Kingdom, expounding on the crimes of the Jing Kingdom and asking the Qing King to swallow up the Jing Kingdom. Do you remember?"
"Mencius said: 'That was one time, this is another time. In five hundred years a king will surely rise, and in the meantime a man of great fame will surely appear.' King Qing is not only a man of great power, but also a king who will revive the human race. Scholars will certainly follow him."
"You have studied hard for many years. If you take this step today, all your efforts will be wasted and your career will be ruined."
"It's just a seal of a prefecture. From today on, I am no longer the prefect of Huangshan or an official of Qing State." Liu Banfeng took off his official seal and threw it to the governor.
"That's all..."
White clouds rose, and the university scholar gradually moved away.
"I will repay you for your kindness in the next life." Liu Banfeng bent over for a long time, and seemed to wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeve before he slowly straightened up.
Liu Banfeng stared at the object in front of him in a daze.
I saw a pen holder hanging in the air in front of me, undulating, with rippling rays of light and emitting a hazy color.
Liu Banfeng blinked his eyes. Yes, this was the Zhengshan pen holder, the Grand Secretary Wenbao of the governor.
"Return it to me after use!" A stern voice came from the pen holder.
Liu Banfeng covered his face with his sleeves for a long time, then reached out to pick up the Zhengshan pen holder and sat on the ox cart.
"Let's set off to Ning'an!"
Wang Yunhai, Grand Secretary of Yongzhou Prefecture of Qing State, resigned and fled to the north, leaving behind a couplet before leaving.
Those who are loyal to the emperor should also be loyal to the world.
Gu State General Yang Xuanye went north alone.
The three generals of Wu State left at Yumen Pass on a flying boat, leaving only one sentence before leaving.
"I'm afraid my literary courage will be shattered." (To be continued...)
