The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1747 A small gathering before the literary meeting

Fang Yun looked at the river again. The Yangtze River near Baling City was his fiefdom. There were water monsters everywhere. Many of them were emitting golden light, which was very similar to the golden light of the Dragon Gate phantom, but not all water monsters surpassed the Dragon Gate phantom a few days ago.

With these golden lights, the intelligence of these water monsters was obviously greatly opened, and the speed of cultivation was higher than that of ordinary water monsters.

Fang Yun was puzzled by this phenomenon. There was no relevant record on the dragon clan inscription, so it could only be attributed to Wenxing Dragon Gate and Jiuchong Dragon Gate.

These water monsters were extremely loyal, even better than the soldiers of Jingguo. Fang Yun had already regarded them as the private soldiers of Wenxing Longjue to guard the Baling City section of the river. There were already as many as 120,000 of them. As for the armor and weapons on these water monsters, they were all "borrowed" from Dongting Jiaowang, and Fang Yun even wrote an IOU.

Fang Yun plans to select the most elite water creatures and send them to the Blood Mang Realm. The environment of the Blood Mang Realm is unique, enough to allow these water monsters to break through the limit of the monster position.

At present, the limit of these water monsters is only the monster king, after all, their bloodline is very poor, but if they enter the Blood Mang Realm, they have the opportunity to be promoted to the Great Monster King, which will become a great help.

Even the dragon clan, which owns the four seas, will treat the great monster king of the water creatures well.

No matter which clan the great monster king is from, it is an extremely important force in the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Finally, Fang Yun looked at the entire Yangtze River.

The surging Yangtze River is like a jade belt that separates the earth and stretches to the end of the east, as if it connects with the sky. Just one look can make people open-minded and relaxed.

Fang Yun turned around, and Qing Jun had already greeted others.

Fang Yun walked to the table at the front of the venue, where there were great scholars from Jingguo.

The governor Dong Wencong came over and whispered secretly: "Several great scholars are about to arrive. Should we wait or not?"

Fang Yun's mind swept over the official seal, checked the time, and whispered: "We will start after noon."

Dong Wencong said again: "Zhang Longxiang's whereabouts are mysterious. I can't find him with the official seal. I think you might as well use the official seal to find him, and then keep an eye on him quietly to prevent him from causing trouble. This time, we prohibit others from climbing Yueyang Tower to prevent those people from Qingjiang Commercial Bank from causing trouble."

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Zhang Longxiang's whereabouts have been exposed, you don't have to worry."

Dong Wencong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good. By the way... what you are worried about has happened, but fortunately we have been prepared. Governor Fang Shouye and I have laid a net of heaven and earth. As long as you give an order, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"That's great." Fang Yun nodded gently.

"But... those external thieves were not found in the next one, and there is no clue."

"You don't need to care about those people, I will deal with them."

"I will take my leave."

Dong Wencong hurriedly left after speaking. When he reached the stairs, he looked back at the many great scholars and scholars present. A look of regret flashed across his face. He was the governor of Xiangzhou and could stay here to make friends with the most outstanding people of the human race. Even if it was just a one-time encounter, it would be of great use in the future. However, these people can only add icing on the cake, not help in times of need.

Dong Wencong took a last look at Fang Yun and walked downstairs.

For Dong Wencong, only Fang Yun was the one who could help in times of need. As long as he worked hard to organize today's literary gathering, he would get the due reward even if he didn't say a word to these big men.

Fang Yun watched Dong Wencong leave, then raised his glass and toasted the people at the same table first, including Jiang Hechuan, the Minister of Literature, Cao De'an, the right minister, Chen Mingding, the head of the Chen family... and other great scholars of Jingguo.

Afterwards, great scholars arrived one after another, including Sai Xiaoyu from Shu, Yun Qingyu from Yun, and Xu Hao from Yue...

Just after noon, purple robes fluttered on Yueyang Tower.

There were actually 76 great scholars sitting on Yueyang Tower.

Even during the first battle between the two worlds, only three times did the number of great scholars who participated in the battle exceed this number.

So much so that after someone posted a post on the discussion board to discuss this matter, scholars from all over the country scratched their heads, all wanting to get to Yueyang Tower to see the style of the great scholars.

In the history of the human race, there has never been so many great scholars gathered together for a state-level literary gathering.

This made some clan members and Lei family members complain on the discussion board, most of the great scholars were obviously going for Fang Yun, saying that they would not help each other, but Zhang Longxiang was obviously at a disadvantage, which was very unfair.

When the time of Wei arrived, it was exactly 1 p.m. in the military time, Fang Yun coughed lightly, stood up and faced all the guests.

The originally lively Yueyang Tower suddenly became quiet.

The maids and waiters who were waiting on the guests were all frightened, secretly thinking that these big shots were really scary. They were obviously in high positions, but their reactions at this time were more uniform than the most elite soldiers. They were well-trained, but they realized that Fang Yun was going to speak only after seeing these great scholars move.

Fang Yun smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, and said: "I was a little nervous about the small gathering before this literary meeting, fearing that I would treat you badly. Mr. Hechuan said, Fang Yun, don't be nervous. Now Baling City is full of great scholars and university scholars. Throwing a brick into the crowd will at least hit three Hanlin. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Many people laughed, and the great scholars present were sincere in their hearts. As soon as they heard it, they knew that this was not what Jiang Hechuan said, but Fang Yun said it deliberately to liven up the atmosphere, and at the same time expressed his respect for the great scholars. He did not put on airs because he was a virtual saint, which was completely different from Qing Jun who wore a three-tassel flat sky crown.

"But... the most nervous person now is not me, but the generals of Wu, Qing and Gu. If the three kings like Baling so much that they don't want to return home, will they lead their troops to Xiangzhou or Xiangzhou?"

Everyone smiled. It is common for literary gatherings to make fun of guests. Some literary gatherings are even dedicated to mutual ridicule. The words are so vicious that people can't resist them, and some old stubborn people even criticize them.

"When the time comes, the army of Qing will definitely rush to the city of Baling first, after all, they are familiar with the road." Fang Yun smiled.

Everyone was stunned, and then Wu Jun and some people laughed.

On the surface, this statement means that Qing once controlled Xiangzhou, but in fact it is alluding to the fact that the Xuanwu army passed through Xiangzhou not long ago and robbed the people, accusing Qing Jun of lax military management.

Most of the great scholars of Qing were not angry, but smiled. Fang Yun obviously had no ill intentions. This level of ridicule is actually very common in literary gatherings.

Qing Jun didn't seem angry either, just laughed dryly.

"The second to arrive must be the army of Gu, after all, they can follow the army of Qing."

This time, few people laughed, and the officials of Gu seemed a little embarrassed. Gu Jun could only laugh dryly, because Fang Yun's sarcasm was very accurate. Gu Kingdom had been controlled by the miscellaneous disciples of Zongsheng, and Gu Jun could only be Qing Jun's follower.

"However, Wu Jun and Gu Jun should be able to return home on time. Only Qing Jun will be a few days late. After all, he was surrounded by his old lovers as soon as he arrived in Baling."

This time, the laughter was louder. Fang Yun not only mocked Qing Jun for being lustful, but also pointed out that Qing Jun was suspected of having an affair with Hua Qingniang and other flower girls of Qingjiang Commercial Bank.

Qing Jun was not angry at all this time, but was a little proud.
