Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 437: All Parties

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: All Parties

The whole scene was so loud that you could hear a pin drop. After a few breaths, huge shock and astonishment exploded in everyone's hearts, and then a frenzy of discussion broke out.

The uproar this time was far greater than any previous one.

The military book that subdued the arrogant Pei Manxilou and made the great scholar Zhang Shen applaud was not written by Xu Xinnian, but by the one whose name has almost become a taboo...

Written by the former Yinluo Xu Qi'an?

"It is a military book written by Xu Yinluo, how is this possible... He is not a scholar."

"Xu Yinluo, he is just a warrior..."

Although Xu Qi'an is no longer an official, everyone is still used to calling him Xu Yinluo.

The students of the Imperial College were in an uproar, and they expressed their views and opinions one after another, and even no longer cared about the occasion.

Most people found it absurd and unbelievable. It was not because they looked down on Xu Qi'an, but because the matter itself was unreasonable, shocking, confusing, and confusing.

At this time, a student in the Imperial College shouted:

"Don't forget that Xu Yinluo is the best poet. Who could have thought that he would write one amazing and brilliant masterpiece after another?"

His words immediately attracted the approval of the students, who shouted loudly, as if to convince other classmates who couldn't believe it:

"Xu Yinluo is not a scholar, but he can write poems, so why can't he write military strategies? Moreover, have you forgotten that Xu Yinluo has been on the battlefield. On that day in Yunzhou, he single-handedly resisted 8,000 rebels and died of exhaustion."

Hearing this, the other students suddenly realized that Xu Yinluo was not a rookie who had never been on the battlefield. He single-handedly resisted thousands of rebels in Yunzhou.

"Xu Yinluo is truly a rare genius."

"Yes, Xu Yinluo is not a scholar, which shows that he is extremely talented and a rare genius in the world."

"Damn it, why did such a person choose martial arts? Xu... is not a good man."

For a time, the praises of the students of the Imperial College were overwhelming.

There were even students who had been frustrated for a long time and shouted provocatively:

"Pei Manxiluo, you said that you are self-taught. Coincidentally, our Xu Yinluo is also self-taught. I have to admit that you are very talented, but there are always higher mountains. Xu Yinluo of our Dafeng is the mountain you can never cross."

Everyone immediately agreed.

Pei Manxiluo was expressionless and speechless.

The vertical pupil boy clenched his fists, his facial muscles twitched, and he looked like he wanted to kill but tried his best to endure.

He was almost mad with anger. The situation was obviously good and everything went according to Brother Pei Man's plan. Except for some famous scholars with high moral character who had a bad ending, none of the contemporary scholars were the opponent of Brother Pei Man.

Xu Qian'an, who had only heard of his name but never met him, actually thwarted Brother Pei Man's plan and made them empty-handed.

Huang Xian'er bit her lip, her eyes rippling with tenderness, and I don't know what she was thinking.

It turned out that it was the military book written by his elder brother. Xu Dalang was willing to give him such a wonderful book. The relationship between brothers is deeper than I thought... After being stunned, Wang Simu did not feel disappointed. She was both moved and relieved about the relationship between Erlang and his brother.

Xu Erlang's own ability alone seemed a little weak in his father's eyes. But if he had a big brother who could persuade him and support him, his father would not despise Erlang.

Thinking of this, she glanced at her father quietly. Sure enough, Wang Shoufu was looking at Xu Erlang deeply.

Wang Simu was secretly delighted, and with today's literary gathering, Erlang's reputation would also rise.

For a moment, Huaiqing couldn't help but want to turn her head to look at a guard behind her, but she controlled her impulse, stiffened her neck, and remained sitting.

Curiosity in her heart fermented, he actually knew the art of war? Wrote a military book? Since I met him, I have never seen him express his views on the art of war. Did Duke Wei write a book? Let him pass it to Xu Erlang.......

The clever eldest daughter of the emperor thought of more, she suspected that this military book was written by Wei Yuan.

Huaiqing pursed her lips, and her eyes immediately fell on the military book in Zhang Shen's hand. Her eyes, as cold as autumn water, rarely burned with a burning desire for knowledge.

It was written by a dog slave... Bian Bian smiled like a flower, her oval face was bright and charming. Xu Erlang was in the limelight, she just felt relieved, finally someone could suppress this arrogant barbarian, other than that, she had no more psychological feelings.

Suddenly hearing that the military book was written by Xu Qiyan, Bian Bian was excited, her heart was full of joy, pride and joy surged, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would be like a fluttering sparrow, chirping and pestering Xu Qiyan.

The Taifu smiled with relief, his old face was full of smiles: "My Dafeng is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and there are still amazing juniors."

After that, he looked at Zhang Shen who was like a sculpture, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Jinyan, show me the military book."

Zhang Shen suddenly came to his senses and sent the military book to the Taifu through the air.

The Taifu leaned on a cane, turned around and sat behind the desk, squinting his old eyes and flipping through the military book.

In less than half an hour, the Taifu, who had only finished reading the first two Chapters, suddenly closed the book with a "snap", his hands trembling slightly with excitement, and said in a deep voice:

"This book must not be circulated, and the barbarians must not copy it. This is my military book of Dafeng, and it must not be passed on to others."

This......

For a while, the noble generals, the students of the Imperial Academy, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, and of course Huaiqing and others, looked at the military book in the Taifu's hand, and they became more and more greedy and eager.

......

The young eunuch ran to the door of the bedroom, his eyes were shining, and he did not lower his head as usual, but kept looking inside.

Showing his inner impatience and excitement.

The old eunuch looked at Emperor Yuan Jing who was meditating with his eyes closed with some trepidation, quietly retreated, came to the door of the bedroom, frowned and asked: "What's the matter?"

The young eunuch whispered a few words.

The old eunuch suddenly opened his eyes wide, his expression was extremely complicated. He lowered his head, returned to Emperor Yuan Jing, and whispered: "Your Majesty, this old servant, this old servant has something to report."

Emperor Yuan Jing did not open his eyes, and simply said "hmm", looking uninterested.

"There is a new situation at the literary meeting. After Zhang Shen admitted defeat, Xu Xinnian, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, stepped forward and wanted to discuss military strategy with Pei Man in the West Tower..."

Emperor Yuan Jing opened his eyes.

The old eunuch continued, "Pei Manxilou admits defeat."

Emperor Yuan Jing showed an extremely surprised expression, pondered for a few seconds, and said slowly:

"Xu Xinnian is Zhang Shen's disciple, majoring in military strategy. I didn't expect him to have such attainments. It's rare. Although this boy is Xu Qi'an's cousin, he is also a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. It's acceptable that he won over Pei Manxilou."

Xu Qi'an resigned voluntarily, but Emperor Yuan Jing also issued an edict to deprive him of his title and official position and expel him from the court.

Xu Xinnian is the cousin of that guy. Now that he has won over Pei Manxilou, when outsiders talk about him, they will inevitably mention Xu Qi'an, who is also talented, and then accuse him of "persecuting" loyal people.

This is the only bad thing.

However, Xu Xinnian's status as a scholar was selected by him, and his talent was also recognized by him, so it's not a big problem.

Overall, Emperor Yuan Jing was quite pleased. Compared to those rumors, losing to Pei Manxilou was truly humiliating.

The court was embarrassed, and he, the king of a country, was also embarrassed.

As an emperor, two things matter most: power and image.

The gloom between Emperor Yuan Jing's eyebrows disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "Tell me the process in detail. I want to know how he defeated Pei Manxilou."

The old eunuch hesitated, stepped back silently, and then lowered his head and said, "The scholar Xu Xinnian took out a military book. After reading it, Pei Manxilou was so impressed that he was willing to admit defeat."

"Military book?"

This was something Emperor Yuan Jing had not expected. He was stunned and said, "What military book."

Zhang Shen of Yunlu Academy admitted that his "Six Commentaries on the Art of War" was not as good as Pei Manxilou's, and the military books compiled by the Hanlin Academy were just old wine in new bottles.

The old eunuch swallowed his saliva and said, "The military book is called "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, yes, it is written by Xu Qian'an."

After saying that, he heard the sound of rapid breathing in the bedroom.

Even without looking up, he could imagine how ugly His Majesty's face was at the moment.

A few seconds later, Emperor Yuan Jing's emotionless voice came: "Get out!"

The old eunuch felt relieved, lowered his head, and fled from the palace. Behind him, there was the sound of utensils and vases being smashed.

The court was not embarrassed, but His Majesty was embarrassed this time... The old eunuch sighed.

It is conceivable how the people in the capital will discuss His Majesty. Not only did the emperor persecute loyal people for his own selfishness, but now the scholars in the capital are suppressed by a barbarian. In the end, it was the man who was expelled from the officialdom by the emperor who turned the tide.

It is no wonder that His Majesty was furious when the king of a country became a laughing stock.

........

The literary meeting was over, and the military book did not return to Xu Xinnian's hands in the end, but was "robbed" by the Taifu.

The noble generals and the scholars present had great opinions, but they did not dare to openly disobey this respected predecessor in the Confucian Academy.

Even Huaiqing did not dare, so he left a little unhappy and went straight to Huaiqing Mansion with his guards.

The troops dispersed. On the Yaoman side, Pei Manxilou looked a little solemn, and Huang Xianer also put away her charming look, her pretty face was like frost.

Not to mention the impulsive and violent boy with vertical pupils.

After the three got on the carriage, no one spoke. In the suffocating atmosphere, Huang Xianer took the initiative to break the stalemate and asked:

"What other plans do you have?"

Pei Manxilou had a blank expression on his face. After a few seconds of thinking, he said lightly:

"Although I lost the literary meeting, my reputation cannot be further improved, and it has even suffered a big blow. But the officials of Dafeng will not ignore me because of this, and there is still some effect. It's just that Xu Yinluo intervened, and all subsequent plans have been ruined."

He sighed: "This person is amazing and brilliant, and I have to admit it. I used to admire his poetic talent, his talent, and envy his reputation, but after today, I have a deep fear of him, even fear.

"Fortunately, he and the Emperor of Dafeng are not in harmony, no, fortunately, he and the Emperor of Dafeng are mortal enemies. Otherwise, if he takes charge of the army in the future, our God Clan will be in danger. "

Huang Xian'er smiled sweetly: "I think so too, so I plan to pick a few beautiful beauties to send to him."

Pei Manxiluo shook his head and said: "Will he be short of women?"

Huang Xian'er sighed softly, intentionally or unintentionally showing her long legs, stroking her chest with her bare hands, and said charmingly: "Then I will come in person, it will be okay."

Pei Manxiluo smiled: "Just waiting for you to say this."

After a pause, he said: "No hurry, continue to run around these few days, try to win over some Dafeng officials, and try to recover as much loss as possible. After the negotiation is over, we will visit this legendary figure together. Xuanyin, you can't go."

The vertical pupil boy was dissatisfied and said anxiously: "Why?"

Pei Manxiluo sneered: "Xu Qian'an is an out-and-out warrior. You spoke without any lightness and angered him, and he is likely to behead you on the spot. "

The boy with vertical pupils glared, "He dares! We are an envoy. If he dares to kill the envoy, the Dafeng court will not forgive him."

Killing the envoy means the breakup of the two countries. Under the background of jointly fighting against the Wushen Cult, the Dafeng court will not let this happen.

Huang Xian'er poked Xuanyin's head and said with a smile: "He dared to kill even the Duke. If you are not afraid of death, we will not stop you. Weigh your own weight.

"Lord Zhu Jiu asked you to come here for training, and he has expectations for you, but if you die here, he will not care."

The demon clan has always been cold in training the younger generation, and Zhu Jiu is a snake, especially cold-blooded.

If you can grow up, cultivate them vigorously. If they die, it means that you are not good enough.

The law of the jungle, the law of survival.

........

Huaiqing Mansion.

After returning to the mansion, Huaiqing dismissed the palace maids and guards, leaving only Bian Bian and Xu Qi'an in the reception room.

"It's you, I looked for you for a long time but couldn't find you. If you hadn't entered the shed, I wouldn't have dared to confirm your identity."

Bian Bian happily pulled Xu Qi'an to sit with him.

Princess, we can't sit at the same table, it's too unruly... In addition, my face in my previous life was so handsome that it shocked the party. You didn't notice it at the beginning. You have a serious face blindness.

Xu Qi'an just thought so, and heard Bian Bian said with admiration: "You are so smart. Don't forget about this ordinary man who disguises himself. You won't notice it at all."

Xu Qi'an looked at her expressionlessly and sat down at another table silently.

Bian Bian opened her watery peach blossom eyes wide, with a look of grievance.

"The military book was written by Duke Wei. He used you to suppress Pei Manxilou?" Huaiqing drank tea and glanced at her stupid sister who was increasingly unable to control her emotions.

"Yes!"

Xu Qiyan smiled and nodded.

Huaiqing nodded slightly. This made sense. In the world, the military book that could impress Pei Manxilou, amaze Zhang Shen, and make the Taifu so excited, in her opinion, only Wei Yuan could write it.

The military book was written by Wei Yuan... Bian Bian was a little disappointed. In her opinion, the dog slave was omnipotent.

"You must not remember what the military book says." Huaiqing asked.

"I don't remember." Xu Qiyan shook his head.

Huaiqing nodded disappointedly. Although she would definitely see the military book in the end, as a book lover, she was not willing to wait.

Forget it, I'll go see Duke Wei later... Huaiqing thought.

After chatting for a few words, Xu Qiyan said goodbye and left.

Bian Bian followed him and left Huaiqing Mansion. She stared at Xu Qian'an and asked, "Was the military book really written by Wei Yuan?"
