The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1497 Uninvited Guests

Fang Yun put away his official seal, shook his head gently, and smiled.

"Jing An, this kid, took Zhang Wankong's bragging seriously. Fortunately, I know that this kind of thing will never happen, and I never mentioned it, otherwise it will inevitably become a laughing stock in the Confucius Saint Literature World and even the human race."

Fang Yun thought to himself, sitting in the carriage, closing his eyes to rest.

This time, Fang Yun did not read, but was deducing the next march and the movements of the barbarians.

The barbarians here are different from the barbarians in Shengyuan Continent and the demon world. It seems that under the influence of Confucius Saint Literature World, they are more willing to use human means to win, which is very similar to the barbarians domesticated by humans.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun realized that this Confucius Saint Literature World might have another mystery, not just to cultivate literary people for fighting.

The journey was almost the same as before. Neither the generals of Lumen Army nor Jingnan Army talked to Fang Yun.

The only change was that the attitude of the soldiers around Fang Yun changed, and they had a little more respect for Fang Yun.

Fang Yun didn't know the specific marching plan, but at night, based on the direction of the team's advance, he basically guessed the general situation.

"Before, the team looked for the fastest way to advance, often passing through some wastelands or hills, and did not stop when encountering some cities. But now, it should only take the safer official road, from one city to another, and then to the next city. As long as you rest by the city, with the protection of the power of the holy temple, the barbarians will never dare to attack, which not only reduces fatigue and casualties, but also avoids morale collapse. However, this will delay many days, and it may take at least six or seven days to arrive."

The army arrived in Dingnan County smoothly and then stationed outside the city.

Lu Menhou learned from yesterday's lesson and stayed in the barracks all the time, only accepting the visit of Dingnan County Magistrate, and never entering the city to participate in the banquet.

The next morning, the soldiers finished breakfast and prepared to leave, and Fang Yun's voice sounded like spring thunder.

"Year after year, my hair has turned white, and spring has come again in a hurry.

Why do Fujian and Guangdong keep me here? Time is ruthless and does not lend me mercy.

I am devoted to serving my country, and I shed tears for my family.

My lonely heart is so intense that I can't help myself, so I just put the five pungent vegetables on the golden plate."

As soon as the voice spread, the scholars in Dingnan County rushed to tell each other and cheered.

"Zhang Mingzhou left a poem in my great Dingnan!"

However, Wei Changxian, who was about to mount his horse, waved his whip and whipped the warhorse frantically.

The warhorse kept stepping to avoid it and screamed.

After whipping dozens of times, Wei Changxian calmed down and thought about the poem carefully. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

The first couplet is not unique. It is the poet's lament that year after year, his hair has turned white, and the warhorse has hurriedly arrived in spring.

The second couplet made Wei Changxian quite angry, as if the poet was saying: "What made me stay in Fujian and Guangdong as an idler? Time is ruthless and unforgiving, I don't want to waste my good time here." The implication is still criticizing Lumen Hou for keeping the dignified Zhujiang Hou in the army as an idle guest.

The second couplet expresses Fang Yun's true feelings. He obviously has a loyal heart to serve the country, but now he has nothing to do and can only miss his family in tears.

In the last couplet, the poet's lonely feelings are so intense that he can't control them. He has to make some dishes to eat alone to relieve his emotions.

Wei Changxian really wants to find Fang Yun to argue. On the surface, this poem is just about grief and anger, but the words used are very vicious. "Leaving guests in vain" directly points out that Lumen Hou doesn't know how to use people and even implies that he can't lead troops, and "two lines of clear tears" are obviously exaggerated. Lumen Hou's incompetence makes him unable to serve the country, and he is angry and crying, and finally can only pretend to miss his relatives.

Wei Changxian gnashed his teeth, but felt that he had no power to use. This poem was too cunning. Even the great marquis cried, and he could only eat and drink to suppress his emotions. What else could they say?

"This bastard, I didn't expect him to get more and more sympathy! He is simply a rogue among the literati!" Wei Changxian cursed in a low voice.

The army left Dingnan County and continued on the road. Passing Heping County, Fang Yun thought that the army would go to Heyuan County in the south, because if they went to the south, they would reach Zhucheng as early as possible. However, in this case, the army would not arrive in the evening, but would arrive in the early morning.

However, the army went southeast to Longchuan County, so that the army could set up camp early, but it was delayed for a full half day.

Because of choosing this road, the team was not attacked by the barbarians.

After resting for a night in Longchuan County, the army went to Heyuan County. Before leaving, another tongue-splitting spring thunder exploded in the sky.

"Every inch of the mountains and rivers is worth a ton of gold.

Who can bear the separation?

Dujuan bows again with tears of worry for the sky,

Jingwei has an endless desire to fill the sea."

In Longchuan County, scholars were rejoicing.

"Zhang Mingzhou left a poem!"

Wei Changxian was so angry that he drew out his long sword, raised it high, and chopped it down heavily.

Poof...

The horse's head flew up, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Zhang Longxiang, don't go too far!" Wei Changxian couldn't help but roared with thunder.

Xun Tianling looked in the direction of Fang Yun and sighed, "A person who can write such a poem will never go against the race."

Not far away, Lumen Hou turned a blind eye, but his hand holding the whip tightened, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. This poem was more aggressive than the previous one, and it was directed at the King of Chu!

Every inch of the mountains and rivers of Chu was as precious as gold, but now it was divided up by the barbarians. Whose fault is this? The poet is calling out to the State of Chu to regain its glory just like the cuckoo. He will not stop even if he shouts until he vomits blood. He will also be like the Jingwei bird carrying small stones to fill the sea and will not give up until he achieves his goal.

Lumenhou's face was livid. Zhang Longxiang had been imprisoned for ten years, and the fall of a large area of ​​Chuhe was naturally not his fault. He could only blame the King of Chu and the generals of Chu. Moreover, this poem had a deeper meaning. If the crusade against the barbarians failed, it would not be the responsibility of Zhang Longxiang, who was like a guest. However, Zhang Longxiang would not admit defeat and would insist on pacifying the barbarians.

The army went to Heyuan, and after arriving, it set out east again, arriving at Zijin County at night and staying overnight.

The next morning, the cook had just started a fire to cook, and a voice of spring thunder exploded, but it was not Fang Yun who spoke, but the university scholar Lumenhou.

"From today on, in order to prevent the barbarians from spying, no one is allowed to speak spring thunder, otherwise they will be executed for leaking secrets!"

Wei Changxian breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers of the whole army also breathed a sigh of relief. If Fang Yun wrote a poem every day, even an iron heart would not be able to bear it, and one day Lumenhou would be mad.

"What a pity..."

Fang Yun sighed, making the driver and the surrounding soldiers laugh and cry.

The army marched forward and camped in Haifeng County at night.

In the middle of the night, Fang Yun was reading as usual, but a voice came into his ears.

"I am Lei Tingzhen, a great scholar, and I am here to visit Zhang Mingzhou with the goodwill of the Zong family, Gu family, and Lei family in Shengyuan Continent."

Fang Yun was stunned, his hair stood up, and his back was covered with cold sweat. Countless thoughts came to his mind, one of which was the most terrifying. Did the Lei family and the Zong family discover him? To destroy his three books?

However, this thought was fleeting, and Fang Yun's face returned to calm.

"Please come in." Fang Yun whispered.

The door of the carriage opened, and a man covered in black entered the carriage.
