The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun finally understood why Zhou Zhubu envied him before. He never thought that Yuhai City would be willing to use the "Flying Page Air Boat" written by the great scholar to escort him. Unless the war was urgent, even the Hanlin would not have this treatment.

Yu Xingshu held the holy page in his hand and said, "Please send us off." Then the holy page absorbed the talent in Yu Xingshu's body. After absorbing it, the holy page quickly grew larger and finally turned into a golden paper page of one foot square, floating one foot above the ground.

"Come on." Yu Xingshu first walked onto the Flying Page Air Boat. His feet stepped on it, and the Flying Page Air Boat did not shake at all. It was really like fine steel.

Nunu had woken up a long time ago. It widened its eyes with curiosity, jumped out of Fang Yun's arms, and then jumped onto the Flying Page Air Boat. It jumped around mischievously, rolled a few times, and then waved at Fang Yun with its little paws, as if saying, "Come and try it, it's amazing!"

Everyone laughed. Fang Yun walked over and tried to step on it. He found that it was no different from stepping on the ground. The golden paper did not shake at all.

"Sister Yuhuan, come up." Fang Yun stretched out his hand to Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Yuhuan stretched out her right hand and placed it on Fang Yun's hand. Her face blushed slightly. She gently lifted her skirt with her left hand and was pulled onto the Feiye Sky Boat by Fang Yun.

Fang Daniu and Jiang Pozi also walked up carefully. Both of them felt weak in their legs and sat on it, never daring to get up again.

The soldiers put a few bundles on it, and the other three officials also walked up together. There were eight people in total, and it was a bit crowded with four bundles.

"Will you not fall down?" Fang Daniu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry." An official smiled.

"Goodbye, everyone!"

"Have a good trip!"

The Feiye Sky Boat slowly rose, gradually changing color during the rise, and finally became the same color as the sky, which was difficult for people below to see.

The Feiye Sky Boat slowly began to accelerate, and all the strong winds were blocked outside by invisible forces. No one felt uncomfortable and everyone breathed smoothly.

The little fox curiously stretched its claws out of the flying page boat, but was blocked by an invisible force wall at the edge of the page, so it just touched and played happily.

Yang Yuhuan was so scared that her legs went weak. Fang Yun supported her. She naturally leaned on Fang Yun's chest, hugged Fang Yun's waist tightly, and smiled shyly and sweetly. It was not until this time that she realized that Fang Yun was her only support.

Fang Yun looked outside the flying page boat. The sky was deep blue, and the Dayuan Mansion below was getting smaller and smaller. Passers-by at night moved slowly like little ants. The mountains and rivers in the distance were in full view, and he couldn't help but feel a heroic feeling of looking at the world.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Fang Yun asked: "General Yu, when will this flying leaf boat reach Yuhai City?"

"Dayuanfu City and Yuhai City are about 800 miles apart. If the flying leaf boat carries only one person, it will arrive in a quarter of an hour. Now there are many people, it will be slower."

"A quarter of an hour? Too fast, faster than Jianmei Gong's Pingbu Qingyun."

"Of course, this flying leaf boat was made by a great scholar after all."

Fang Yun calculated in his mind: "The speed of sound is more than 1,400 kilometers per hour, which is more than 2,800 miles. This flying leaf boat It can fly more than 3,200 miles in an hour. Isn't this a supersonic plane? "

Mrs. Jiang beat her legs and whispered: "It's too scary. I have never ridden this thing in my life. My legs are weak. "

Although Fang Daniu was afraid, he said excitedly: "When we return to Ji County, let's see who dares to look down on me! I have ridden a flying boat before!"

Yang Yuhuan completely forgot where she was. She closed her eyes and put her face on Fang Yun's chest. She didn't think about anything, but just wanted to be with her beloved forever.

Nu Nu was fearless and continued to play.

Not long after, Fang Yun saw a glimmering ocean in the distance, like a line of blue jade, which soon expanded from a line to a plane.

On the seashore, there was a huge city lying there, like a prehistoric monster. The main city of the city was square, and there was a secondary city in the southeast, northwest and northeast.

This Yuhai City is not only the commercial center of Jiangzhou, but also the most developed city in the entire north of the Yangtze River. Even if the Wu Kingdom in the west is said to be ten times stronger than the Jing Kingdom, no city can compare with this Yuhai City.

Because this is the only trading place between the Jing Kingdom and the Dragon Clan, there are only three such cities in the ten countries.

The three sub-cities are military fortresses, where a large number of soldiers live, while the North Sub-City is a commercial fortress, which is the most prosperous place in the entire Jiangzhou or the north of the Yangtze River, and there are merchants everywhere.

From the sky, whether it is the main city or the three sub-cities in the east, west and south, except for the military facilities such as the observation tower on the city wall, most other places are dim, only the North Sub-City is brightly lit, it is simply a city that never sleeps.

Yu Xingshu said: "You can go anywhere else, but you can't go to the North Sub-City."

"Student knows." Fang Yun said.

After all, the North Sub-City is a major commercial town, so it is impossible to check too strictly, but the main city and the other three sub-cities are always on high alert, and everyone will be checked clearly. Not to mention collusion with the enemy or demons, as long as there is any suspicion, they will be refused entry. The people of Yuhai City are proud of their innocent identities.

Yu Xingshu whispered: "You have great talent, and you should have received more stringent protection, or even sent to the Holy Academy. But Li Daxueshi finally decided not to let you go to the Holy Academy for two reasons."

"Please make it clear, sir." Fang Yun said.

"First, the internal struggle of the Holy Academy is more brutal than that of the Ten Kingdoms. Although the holy families share the same idea of ​​revitalizing the human race, the Hundred Schools will eventually "fight", fighting in ideology, fighting in holy lands and holy pages. Once you enter the Holy Academy, you will inevitably fall into that big vortex. Before you become a Jinshi, it is not advisable to go there."

"I have heard a little about this." Fang Yun had guessed that the Hundred Schools of Thought that are still going on are actually the survival of the fittest, and are the internal driving force for the progress of the human race. Most people will abide by the rules, but some will break the bottom line.

"As for the second one, Li Daxueshi found that some of the young geniuses sent to the Holy Academy for protection would be proud and complacent and not make progress, while others would be suppressed and frustrated by other geniuses. Nearly 20% would have difficulty achieving success in the future. If you were three years older, Jianmei Gong would not be afraid of you going to the Holy Academy, but you are too young now and need two years of training before you are suitable to go."

"Thank you, Li Daxueshi, for your careful consideration." Fang Yun was interested in the holy land of the Holy Academy, but he did not want to get involved in such a complicated place. He wanted to spend more time studying the classics of the saints and condensing his own talents to prevent his talents from growing too fast and being out of control, and finally causing the palace of literature to collapse.

Yu Xingshu said: "It's good that you don't blame the adults. If you can calm down, maybe in less than two years, you can go to the Holy Academy to compete with the geniuses of the human race. After all, it is the essence of the human race, and it is also protected by the talent of Confucius. It is said that it is the place where the stars of literature shine brightest. There are great benefits to studying there. You will enter the Holy Academy after all, and no one can stop you!"

Everyone present nodded, not only Jiang Pozi and Fang Daniu, but even Nunu nodded vigorously, as if she understood.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir." Fang Yun said.

"Just the poems you wrote are not enough to make Lord Li so admired, but I know that since Lord Li did this, he must have his reasons. I hope you can become the second Jianmei Gong, the second Wen Xiang, not the second Zuo Xiang."

Fang Yun immediately said seriously: "Of course I understand what is the big way and what is the small way. I take benevolence and righteousness, and I will never learn from the Zuo Xiang."

"This is a scholar!" Yu Xingshu nodded and praised.

Feng Zimo, the head of the Academy of Literature, said: "The six holy pages awarded to you by the Holy Academy are on the way. They will be delivered to the Academy of Literature in Yuhai City in about three days. I will send someone to deliver them to you at that time. I have also read the "Holy Way" of the first day of the new year. The "Humble House Inscription" was originally only entitled to three holy pages, but it is said that a semi-saint praised this article, so it got an extra page. The "Pillow Notes" is not very talented, but it has profound educational significance, so two holy pages were specially approved. And the "Butterfly Loves Flowers in Spring" is another holy page, so you will have seven holy pages in June. I envy you."

Yu Xingshu said: "I have been a Jinshi for more than 20 years, and I only have one article in "Holy Way", which got a holy page. The other holy pages were awarded for military exploits, and the total is only four. You are lucky, you get more holy pages in one month than I have in my entire life."

An official of the Juren said: "If you were not too young, we would definitely team up to blackmail you for a banquet!"

Everyone laughed.

Nunu looked at the scholar vigilantly, squinting his eyes, guarding against this person blackmailing Fang Yun, and secretly winked at Fang Yun, asking Fang Yun to be careful.

Approaching Yuhai City, the flying leaf boat slowly slowed down, and Yu Xingshu stretched out his hand and threw the official seal into the air. The people in the city were immediately summoned, and there was no alarm bell.

"Go to Nanfu City first, stay in my house for one night, and I will have someone send you to the selected residence tomorrow. Your left neighbor is the residence of a lieutenant general, and the right house has a Juren from the Criminal Palace who lives there to protect you. The Juren from the Criminal Palace will follow you secretly. If you encounter something at home, you should immediately shout his name."

Fang Yun didn't expect these people to think so carefully for him, and his heart was warm.

That Jiang Pozi and Fang Daniu were particularly envious. They both knew that a prince of a country could only bring two Juren with him at most. Now Fang Yun was escorted by a Jinshi official, but he actually let a Juren follow him secretly all the time, which showed that Fang Yun's treatment was close to those of ordinary princes.

The flying leaf empty boat landed in the Dinghai General's Mansion. Everyone stepped down the paper and took the bag away.

Yu Xingshu bowed slightly to the flying leaf empty boat and said, "Thank you, great scholar, for the gift of literature."

The flying leaf empty boat immediately shrank, and finally burned without fire and disappeared.

Yu Xingshu's wife, two concubines and two sons did not sleep, and came to the yard to greet him. Only the six-year-old daughter had gone to bed.

After everyone greeted and got to know each other, Yu Xingshu's eldest son handed Fang Yun an invitation and smiled, "This is an invitation to the Dragon Boat Literary Meeting. It was sent by Jianmei Gong. The person said: Lord Li, please try your best to go to the Dragon Boat Literary Meeting."

Everyone looked at Fang Yun together. The word "try your best" was obviously not said casually, which meant that Li Wenying really hoped that Fang Yun would go to the Dragon Boat Literary Meeting.
