The expressions of Kong Chengan and others are even more gloomy. They are descendants of the Holy Family, and they must not allow others to ignore them.
Anyone who dares to look down on the Holy Family will definitely regret his contempt for the Holy Family.
This is the self-esteem and pride of a scholar from the Holy Family, and no one is allowed to trample on it.
Du Ning glanced at Ke Hongwei and said with a look of displeasure: "A scholar from a semi-sage family is actually fanning the wind and igniting the fire on the sidelines. It's really not a big deal to watch the excitement. Do you think the Kong family will be so stupid to be manipulated by you?"
?"
A flash of anger flashed across Ke Hongwei's face, then quickly disappeared, and he said calmly: "Master Du is a clever talker, and he actually sows a relationship between us and Brother Kong. The Marquis of Zhenguo in Yun State is nothing more than that."<
/p>
Kong Chengan sneered and said: "Brother Ke is right, but you want to sow discord? Ridiculous! Even military scholars would not dare to use this trick in front of me."
Du Ning said helplessly: "After talking for a long time, what do you want to do? Are you just coming to me to talk nonsense in such a big circle?"
Kong Chengan and Ke Hongwei looked at each other and exchanged glances, and then Ke Hongwei chuckled and said: "Brother Kong has heard for a long time that Mr. Du won ten consecutive battles in Suzhou, so he came to ask you for some advice. I also asked Mr. Du to be able to
Don’t hesitate to teach me.”
The breath in the air is even colder.
Confucius students actually want to fight with Du Ningwen!
Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue looked at each other, stood there and took a deep breath.
It’s called Wen Dou, but it’s actually Wen Zhan.
If Kong Chengan accidentally killed Du Ning, it would only be an accident caused by Wen Dou.
Moreover, the Holy Family has many privileges in the Holy Court and can be exempted from immunity to a large extent.
Therefore, even if the rules are limited to literary fighting, it is still very dangerous for Duning.
Students from the Holy Family dared to kill Du Ning openly, but Du Ning had to consider the consequences of killing the opponent.
In terms of status, Du Ning is not as good as the Kong family.
In terms of power, Du Ning is not as good as the Kong family.
The reason why it can surpass these Confucian people is probably only because of the literary name brought by "The Thousand Character Classic".
Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue did not dare to act rashly, and even they did not dare to offend the Kong family easily.
Du Ning smiled slightly and said: "Brother Kong challenged me to a literary fight in the name of a student of the Holy Family, and he was not afraid of losing his identity."
"Like you, I'm just a student participating in the trials of various countries, regardless of high or low." Kong Chengan said with ill intentions.
"What if Du refuses?" Du Ning's eyes turned cold.
"You can try."
Kong Chengan took a step forward, and the Kong family and Ke family behind him immediately pressed forward.
Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue looked ugly. There was no doubt that once Du Ning refused, they would swarm in and fight with their two classmates.
If they fight back, it will be a collective fight.
Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue have aristocratic backgrounds, so the Holy Court can avoid pursuing them.
But Du Ning may not have such good luck, and he will definitely be forced to take the blame.
"Okay, since Brother Kong insists on competing, let's go outside and compete."
Du Ning smiled half-heartedly and accepted Kong Chengan's challenge.
"Then please."
Kong Chengan felt happy, and the crowd outside immediately gave way to both sides.
"Brother Du, you..."
Tian Feipeng was about to speak, but Kong Chengan glared at him fiercely, so he could only hold back what he wanted to say.
"Brother Tian, Brother Fu, let's go!"
Du Ning smiled and said: "When I finish the literary fight, we will go to the cafeteria to eat together."
Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue did not dare to speak and could only nod lightly.
At the same time, they admired Du Ning even more in their hearts. They felt that Du Ning had a temperament that would remain unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain.
The Kong family and the Ke family teamed up to find trouble for Du Ning, but Du Ning dealt with it calmly and unhurriedly.
Such a mentality cannot be developed overnight.
Then Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue thought that Du Ning was a man who had been on the battlefield, how could he be afraid of Wen Dou?
The group of people left the dormitory and came to the square of the holy courtyard.
There is a dedicated venue for literary fights.
The sun is setting on the west mountain, and the sky is covered with red clouds.
When I heard that Kong Chengan was going to fight with Wen, a student from the Yun Kingdom, he spread the word to ten and hundreds of people, and many students from various countries came.
There are not only Jinshi from various countries, but also Hanlins from various countries, great scholars, and even great Confucians from various countries standing in the distant attic watching from a distance.
The Kong family and the Ke family were so proud that the more people who came to watch, the more embarrassing Du Ning would be when he lost the literary fight.
Ke Hongwei suddenly said loudly: "Master Du, let's put villains first and then be gentlemen. There is actually a stake in today's literary fight. Since you have agreed to the literary fight, you shouldn't regret it at this time, right?"
"There are still bets? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tian Feipeng couldn't help but question.
"I just forgot for a moment, but it's harmless. I guess Mr. Du won't care about it." Ke Hongwei said with a smile.
Tian Feipeng was speechless. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person, but they did not dare to say anything more.
This must have been planned by Kong Chengan a long time ago, but they have to make Ke Hongwei the bad guy. They can blame the Ke family, but they can't have too much opinion against the Kong family.
"What bet? Tell me," Du Ning said.
"Those who lose will voluntarily give up participating in the trials of various countries." Ke Hongwei said the content of the bet.
"What!"
Everyone present looked shocked.
No one thought, or even dared to think, that Kong Chengan’s bet would be so big!
Those who lose will voluntarily give up the opportunity to participate in the trials of various countries.
How confident is this person that he dares to agree to such a literary fight?
This is in the Holy Academy. Du Ning and Kong Chengan are both qualified to participate in the trials of all nations. If they give up voluntarily because of a literary fight, they will become the laughing stock of all the Chinese nations!
The Kong family and the Ke family were secretly happy, this was the price Du Ning paid for offending them!
Only by using this method can Du Ning regret what he did!
"Did I hear you correctly? It would be too random for those who lose to give up participating in the trials of the nations!"
"Haha... He is truly worthy of being an elite member of the Confucius family. If it wasn't so big, he would rather not play!"
"Everyone said that Kong Chengan was overbearing, but I didn't expect him to be so overbearing, using a Yun State student to establish his authority!"
There were waves of discussion everywhere, and more people were becoming more and more interested in this high-stakes literary battle.
No matter who loses or wins, they will be on the headlines of "Qufu Wenbao" tomorrow.
"Who is that Yunguo student? He dares to fight with the Confucian people, how stupid he is!"
"His name is Du Ning, and I don't know why he offended the Kong family."
"Du Ning? I've never heard of him. He doesn't look like someone!"
"People should not be judged by their appearance. Since this person can be invited to participate in the trials of various countries, he naturally has his own merits."
"So what? Can he still be compared with the Confucian scholars? Do you know the foundation of the Confucian family? Anyone with a little talent can be easily trained to become a Hanlin scholar, not to mention that Kong Chengan is one of the Confucian students.
As a leader, this literary battle should be stress-free for Kong Chengan."
"I don't think so. I heard that Du Ning once fought against ten students of the Ke family in Suzhou and won a literary victory. It shows that Du Ning is also unfathomable."
"Is there such a thing?"
However, the Ke family secretly gnashed their teeth. Whenever they heard someone mention the failure of the Ke family's ten literary fights in Suzhou, they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
This is really shameful and angry!
Kong Chengan held his head high and was extremely confident, but at the same time he was full of contempt and disdain for Du Ning.
Du Ning frowned, then relaxed quickly, looked at Kong Chengan and said, "Brother Kong, do you really want to play so big?"
"What? Are you scared?"
The corner of Kong Chengan's mouth rose: "This is the Holy Academy. In front of all the students from all countries, are you, the majestic prince of Yun State, going to run away from the battle and be laughed at by the students all over the world?"
"Du Ning, if you dare to run away from the battlefield, you will be a disgrace to the scholars, the people of Yun State, and even more to your own face. Then I will look down on you." A member of the Ke family said loudly.
"Well said! Scholars should advance bravely in the rapids, how can they retreat in the face of difficulties? Everyone says that Mr. Du is a scholar with integrity. Today, let us all see what integrity is!"
"Du Ning, accept the literary battle if you have the guts, and don't let scholars from all over the world look down on you!"
More and more people are booing around.
Du Ning's expression gradually became cold, and he snorted coldly: "Since I agreed to Wen Dou, of course I won't run away from the battle. It's just that I feel so bad."
"How can we not only decide the winner and loser, but also compete against each other?" Ke Hongwei pressed forward step by step.
Du Ning sneered, "It's not good for an elite Confucian scholar to give up the trials of various countries."
Many people changed their minds one after another. They have seen arrogant people, but never such arrogant people.
Du Ning actually didn’t take Kong Chengan seriously!
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!"
The Kong family members shouted angrily. This was in public, and they couldn't bear Du Ning's contempt for Kong Chengan.
Kong Chengan's expression changed: "Du Ning, when you say this, are you not looking down on me, Kong Chengan?"
"Why should I take someone like you seriously?" Du Ning asked.
"This Yun countryman is so arrogant!"
"Hmph! Compared to Kong Chengan's tyranny, what is Du Ning's arrogance?"
"This literary fight is quite interesting. I would like to see whether it is Kong Chengan who has disgraced the Holy Family, or whether the Yun people have given up participating in the trials of the nations."
Some people looked expectant, as if they were more eager for Duning to win, which would make this matter even bigger.
Especially those who had been bullied by Confucian students all looked at Du Ning with support.
They dare not stand out, but they will fully support those who stand up to fight Kong Chengan.
"I hope the Yun people can win."
"Me too. If he can win against Kong Chengan, I will be happy to carry his shoes!"
"Then I'll be responsible for beating his back."
The Kong family was even more angry. It was a shame that the dignified and holy family was so despised by scholars from all over the world.
Then, these Kong family members thought of something else and looked at Du Ning as if they were looking at a clown.
"Haha..."
Kong Chengan laughed loudly and said proudly: "Very good, you do have a lot of backbone. I like to teach a scholar like you a lesson. You are the one who loses in this literary battle today, and the one whose reputation is ruined is you."
You, you are the one who has suffered great shame and humiliation."
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability." Du Ning smiled.
"Since you don't have any objections, just sign the fighting letter!" Kong Chengan said with a smile.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, a loud voice sounded.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a man walking quickly.
This man is several years older than Kong Chengan, and he is a Confucian, Taoist, and Hanlin scholar.
"Brother Chengshun."
"Master Kong."
People around me greeted him one after another.
Du Ning found that most people respected Kong Chengshun from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Kong Chengan had to raise his hands and say: "Brother, why are you here?"
"Cheng'an, do you know what you are doing? As a scholar from a noble and holy family, you are actually fighting with literary friends from all over the world in the Holy Academy. You are not ashamed!" Kong Chengshun scolded.
"We are just having a literary competition. This is a common thing among scholars. Why should my brother get so angry?" Kong Chengan said slowly.
"You are a member of the Most Holy Family and a member of Kongcheng. Scholars from all over the world have traveled thousands of miles to come to Kongcheng. As the Kong family, we should fulfill our duties as landlords, but you have been used as a joke by the Ke family. For the sake of
Fighting for temporary arrogance and humanity is really embarrassing for the Kong family!"
The faces of the Ke family changed drastically. Kong Chengshun's words were directly slandering the reputation of their Ke family, which would definitely make many aristocratic families feel hostile towards the Ke family.
Ke Hongwei stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said: "Brother Kong, you..."
"Who do you think you are, that you deserve to be my brother?"
Kong Chengshun's words instantly made Ke Hongwei and others extremely angry.
After all, they were from a semi-saint family, but Kong Chengshun didn't give them any face. This is really embarrassing.
If it were anyone else, Ke Hongwei would definitely start complaining.
But the target was the Holy Family, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his own stomach.
"Mr. Kong, calm down. Things are not what you imagined. You have misunderstood our Ke family."
"No misunderstanding, your thoughts and tricks can deceive others, but they can't deceive me."
Kong Chengshun said: "I'm warning you, it's best to stay away from our Kong family, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Ke Hongwei's face is extremely ugly, and it is definitely not a good thing for him to be at odds with scholars from the Holy Family.
"I understand."
Ke Hongwei could only step aside and did not dare to say any more.
"Brother, you really wronged me."
Kong Chengan pointed at Du Ning and said: "Kong Yu, the great scholar of our Kong family, was humiliated by Du Ning when he visited Yun State. I am seeking justice for the Kong family!"
"Kong Yu's humiliation is his own business. What does it have to do with you? Do you need to stand up for him? You will be humiliated just by going to Yun State. This shows what kind of moral character Kong Yu's group of people have.
I insist on dragging my face to the Holy Family. Who do they think they are, worthy of representing the Kong family? The reputation of our Kong family was ruined by people like him!"
Kong Chengshun was even more angry and yelled at Kong Chengan.
