"Is there nothing? This scribe's way sounds a bit strange. Could it be that the Yan'an we saw is not the deity but an incarnation?" Shen Tang suddenly felt his head hurt. There are really all kinds of weird abilities in this world.
Is there still a way for science here?
I'm afraid the coffin boards have been nailed shut.
Gong Shuwu nodded first, and then shook his head. Shen Tang was confused and didn't understand what this meant.
Fortunately, Gong Shuwu didn't deliberately show off.
"If Yan'an hadn't lied back then, my lord guessed that it would be eight [nine] and ten, but if he lied, it would be hard to tell." Gongshu Wu paused and asked, "My lord thinks that Yan'an is a literary scholar. , will you fully explain the truth?"
It’s not that he intentionally played tricks on the map, but that as a group of literary scholars, there are three properties per capita because of the “cunning rabbit has three burrows”.
Especially when it comes to such a private trump card as the way of the scribes, outsiders cannot easily figure it out, and must always keep it secret.
Gong Shuwu prefers banquet with reservations..
Shen Tang: "How is Banbu's friendship with Yan Xingning?"
"I have said a few words, but if I insist on saying it, I should say 'half-baked'." Gong Shuwu made a rare joke, "Yan'an's father is a famous scholar of the Xin State and a court official of the Xin State. Although it is just a sinecure with no real power, but He has a high status and reputation among the scholars, and those who want to become his disciples can get through his family, but Yan'an has become famous at a young age, so it is difficult not to know."
As the younger brother of the head of the Gong family and a highly regarded military attache, Gong Shuwu naturally belongs to the popular diamond king Laowu in the capital. However, he is older than Yan'an, so they are not of the same generation. There is a generation gap in communication.
"Yan'an once said in public that his way of being a scribe is 'empty and empty', and the effect is similar to the 'half-hearted' speech and spirit of the literati. However, the latter can only exist for a short time and only has a vague human form, while the former It is a real incarnation of cultural energy that can be almost fake, and the avatar can also walk outside. Other than that, there is nothing special about it.”
This scribe's way seems very magical, but in fact it is very useless. Even Yan'an himself said that it is of no use other than laziness.
Chu Yao grasped the key points.
"You said it in public?"
What is the way of the scribe?
The trump card of literary scholars.
At a critical moment, Yanan might have a trump card that could turn the tables against the odds, or even save his own life. How could Yanan just say it in public so carelessly? He just confessed in public, and even talked about his abilities in detail. How could this be considered abnormal?
Gong Shuwu carefully recalled the scene at that time.
Explained: "I remember it was at a palace banquet, the old king wanted to show off to envoys from other countries."
To put it simply, the neighboring countries boasted that there was a young man in their country who had a special ability as a scribe when he was less than 18 years old. He offended the host of the Xin Kingdom, and the old king became very angry. In the end, Yanan stepped forward to bring trouble. Return to a round.
Yan'an is even younger.
Sixteen are obtained, eighteen are proficient, and twenty are accomplished.
The way of the scribe is not so easy to control.
Yan'an's words aroused the envoy's doubts.
So Yan'an publicly confessed his ability as a scribe. Gong Shuwu was also present at the time, and he remembered it particularly deeply - if this ability were used to commit suicide, who could withstand it?
Moreover, his scribe’s name is also special.
[There is nothing]
It’s completely based on Gong Shuwu’s aesthetic point of view.
Shen Tang was curious about the gossip: "The literary spirit of 'Half-hearted' can create two literary incarnations, one mind and three uses, but the duration is short, and Yan Xingning's literary incarnation can run around freely... So the most he can divide How many incarnations of literary spirit will come out?”
I am truly envious.
Gong Shuwu Dao: "He himself said there are two ways."
But there is something written in his eyes——
No dog would believe the words of the literary scholar.
Shen Tang: "Back then, there were two paths. Now, after so many years, I conservatively estimate that there are six paths. Including me, there are seven in total. Good guy, he can be used as seven people."
What a great 996,007 player...
The contemporary king of roll kings!
Gong Shuwu: "..."
Chu Yao: "..."
Is this all the Lord cares about?
Even if one person can serve as seven people, he is still serving others, and it is useless to envy him.
The pattern opens——
Gong Shuwu: "It doesn't matter whether there are two incarnations of Wenqi or six. The important thing is that when the incarnation of Wenqi dies, I will know about it. Now is not the time to scare the snake. Yan'an should be avoided as much as possible..."
Even though his name is Yan'an and his courtesy name is Xingning, you would think that he is a refined scholar with a "quiet years" type - any famous literary scholar does not rely on his appearance or good temper to get out of the circle. The more famous he is, the more famous he is. The more ruthless.
Shen Tang naturally understands this truth.
When Gong Shuwu said that the envoy Yan Xingning was not the original deity, she gave up the idea of letting him "accidentally". One of the principles of killing and silencing is to kill an incarnation of Wenqi without endangering the deity.
Why was she going to all that trouble?
Shen Tang is more concerned about Yan'an's purpose of coming.
For whom?
Why come?
Could it be that some of them were exposed? Yan'an guessed that the piece of the Xin Kingdom's national seal in Gong Shuwu's hand was in his hand?
This is about her life and fortune.
"Tell me, did Yan'an discover anything?"
"There must be some suspicion, otherwise I wouldn't have tried every possible means." Speaking of this, Chu Yao was secretly glad that he had asked Qi Shan to disguise several people beforehand, but he didn't expect it to come in handy, "But he has no evidence, we have to Calm down."
Shen Tang nodded. In view of Yan An's scribe's ways, people are very hard to guard against. She suggested that you should do whatever you want these days, rest for a few days, and be fully prepared before entering Heyin to take office. For larger actions, stop for a while. stop.
By the way——
"Should we exchange codes?"
Chu Yao was not that nervous, and even joked a little relaxedly: "Yeah, that's okay. The code will be decided by Wu Lang?"
Shen Tang was excited: "Okay."
When Gu Chi received several sheets of "Essential Techniques for Qi Min" written silently by Chu Yao, he found that there was an extra sentence at the beginning -
【How old is Wu Lang?】
【How tall is Goro?】
Gu Chi: "???"
Is the style of "Qi Min Ya Shu" wrong?
Asked again, this is a code.
In the future, the blue bird will use this as a signal when sending messages or meeting each other.
The wrong answer is Yan An pretending to be!
Gu Chi: "..."
What kind of code is this?
There is also a thoughtful "correct answer" at the back.
【Secret】,【Secret】
Gu Chi: […Where’s the answer to the code?]
Chu Yao: [...It’s the ‘secret’. 】
Gu Chi: "..."
He has something to say, whether it is worth saying or not.
I'm afraid the three heroes of Chu State in those days didn't eat too much pancakes, but only a few big pancakes!
Kang Shi only knew that Yan An had come after receiving the message from Jade Bird. He frowned slightly and was glad that he was not there. Otherwise, if Yan An bumped into him, he might have brought trouble to his lord. Kang Shi did not expect that the envoy was Yan An. The embodiment of culture.
However, I am also glad that Shen Tang can keep his composure.
Otherwise, this matter would not be revealed so easily.
Captain Yang took a sip of the warm rice wine. When he saw Kang Shi, his expression was solemn and he asked, "Is this banquet so difficult?"
"Yan Xingning's way of being a scribe is not as simple as what Uncle Gong put it in half a step. The so-called 'incarnation of literary spirit' is just something he deliberately made up to hide his clumsiness. 'There is nothing' is originally a fiction. Since it is fiction, it is naturally not true. There is..."
Captain Yang was a little confused when he heard this.
"What exactly?"
Kang Shi said: "I don't know either."
He didn't have many friends, and because of his scribes' ways, he didn't have many close friends. He became good friends with Yan'an, and they often moved around when they were young, because Yan'an's scribes' ways could restrain him. But Kangshi didn't have a deep friendship with him. Talk about anything.
Captain Yang was surprised: "You don't know either?"
So how do you say Gong Shuwu is wrong?
Kang Shi said: "It's just guesswork and intuition."
Captain Yang insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
"Tell me and listen."
"It's just a guess, just listen to it, don't take it seriously -" Kang Shi poured himself a bowl of wine in a funny manner, took a sip, and tasted it carefully, not forgetting to give Captain Yang an injection in advance, "Fan Banquet" An's father once revealed to a friend after drinking that Yan An's scribe's way can subvert the cause and effect of reality and reality, but it is still unknown to what extent it can be achieved."
Captain Yang still didn't understand.
"False and real cause and effect?"
"Let the false become true or the true become false." Kang Shi said, "I just heard about it. It's hard to say whether it's true or false."
Duwei Yang had an expression of "I believe you have a ghost" - how easy is it to "hear" this kind of secret? Who spread it? Even Yan'an's father made a gaffe and revealed it after drinking...
After getting along with each other for a while, I can see that Kang Shi is not such an imprudent person. What he said was half true and half false.
Captain Yang licked it carefully.
Virtual reality...
cause and effect……
From a literal perspective, it is not simple.
Captain Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered: "Today's young students are really more difficult to deal with."
Thinking back to when he was young, although there were many talented scribes, most of them were mediocre in their ways, unlike now——
It’s really a chaotic dance of demons.
For a moment, Captain Yang didn't know whether to be grateful or regretful. He was born more than ten years earlier and was not of the same generation as them. He was grateful that he didn't have to meet them, but regretfully that he couldn't fight against them.
Kangshi smiled.
I just felt a little worried.
at the same time--
The envoy and his entourage did not do as Shen Tang feared. They left straight away after finishing their work. However, they were not fast and slow, and they did not show the urgency of coming day and night. Yanan asked: "Is there any movement?"
Another person replied: "No."
The night passed and there was still no movement.
Yan Anxin felt suspicious, but had no choice but to give up - he had seen this Shen Youli in person, and there was indeed nothing unusual about it. At most, he was smaller, more immature, and his eyes were cleaner. It was not as carefully cultivated as those of high-ranking families. What comes out is more like the reeds growing wildly on the river beach, with vigorous vitality and a vitality that can infect people.
He said: "Go back and recover."
Yan'an waved his hand and disappeared into the distance. The strange thing was that the remaining people didn't seem to see it, nor did they follow. The group of fourteen people just stopped for a moment and then started on the road again. Occasionally, they could still hear one or two
Talk in a low voice.
It seems that they completed the mission too quickly?
At the same moment——
Yan'an, who was far away in the capital, paused slightly.
After a moment of trance, continue writing.
There are piles of things on the desk waiting to be dealt with.
Eighty percent of them are trivial matters, such as the auspiciousness of a birth in a certain place, or the birth of a son who can speak, which must be a blessing from heaven, and will bless the king of the country for a long time; such as the officials of a certain place greeting each other and crying about poverty; such as flattering a horse.
The rest is to report good news but not bad news.
but--
How could Yanan not know what the situation is like in various places?
He was so angry that he even wanted to scold him with a pen, but he couldn't because Yan'an was not the leader of the country, but Zheng Qiao was. As for how the things that should have been handled by Zheng Qiao ended up on his desk?
You have to ask his good junior brother Zheng Qiao.
Those who are able work hard.
Since Senior Brother Yan'an has this intention, Zheng Qiao doesn't have to find something to do for himself. He throws away the government affairs and plays in the palace every day, either having banquets with the courtiers or racing horses and hunting Cuju Chuiwan with others...
The day before yesterday, a groom was knighted on the spot because of his good skills in hammering pills. Although it was only the lowest level, it was ridiculous enough. The other courtiers, like sharks that smelled the smell of blood, fell in love with him and sent people everywhere to trap him.
Young beauties, presenting actors who are good at singing and dancing in the house - of course, in this name, they will inevitably use this name to get something from their own pockets.
Yanan often wants to kill people with a sword.
Zheng Qiao came over to take a look and saw that he was filled with murderous intent and said, "Who could make Senior Brother unhappy and have such murderous intent?"
Yanan didn't answer.
Zheng Qiao was quite bored.
But before leaving, he asked: "Senior brother asked Zixu to see Shen Youli, right? How about it?"
When Yan An heard this, his eyelids trembled.
He said: "There is nothing wrong with this person."
Zheng Qiao sneered: "If there is a problem, I won't be afraid even if I am alone."
Yan'an looked at his junior brother who had changed greatly and couldn't help but said: "If things continue like this, are you not afraid of dying without a burial place?"
Zheng Qiao sneered and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It's okay to be alone even if you don't care about yourself."
Yan'an looked angry.
Zheng Qiao turned a blind eye and even said with a slightly proud tone: "Even if I die, the courtiers of the entire court will bury and die for me, especially the old ministers of the Xin Kingdom. Senior brother, there is no need to worry too much, the road to Huangquan is closed."
You won’t be lonely.”
Yanan pursed her lips and watched Zheng Qiao strode away.
"etc!"
"Senior brother, what's the matter?"
Yan'an said: "About the previous court discussion..."
Zheng Qiao thought for a moment and said, "What are you talking about? If senior brother can persuade them to take out their pockets, I won't stop them."
It was previously discussed to check the accounts of the grain depot and open the warehouse to release grain.
However, there have always been objections.
Zheng Qiao deliberately condoned it for the sake of stability.
The courtiers did not completely deny Yan'an, but they just delayed, and used various delaying methods. A group of people tacitly kicked the ball and deliberately blocked Yan'an. Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, and it snowed everywhere, if we don't solve it, I don't know if this winter will die.
How many common people.
Yan'an asked again: "If I want to kill someone..."
Zheng Qiao: "Senior brother is free to do as he pleases, but if they catch him, in order to secure his position, he will have to endure hardships."
He didn't put it too bluntly.
But Yanan could hear the subtext.
If this "bitter" killed Yan'an, he would also die in order to appease the "anger".
After Zheng Qiao left, Yanan was alone for a quarter of an hour before he suppressed the negative anger rolling in his heart. He looked in the direction of the door and murmured into the void: "Wuyou, how long will it take?"
After a while.
He added: "Two years is enough."
——————
Two days later.
Shen Tang woke up and found that the air temperature was much colder.
Opening the door, dense fine snow was blowing in the wind.
