i have a sword fairy

Chapter 388 "A Great Man Once Said..."
On the second floor of the inn, in a certain room.

Everyone quietly digested Zhao Rong's words.

At this time, Gu Yiwu seemed to have remembered something, and asked:

"Ziyu, you said earlier that we will set off tomorrow morning and go straight to Hanjing... So you mean that we won't meet Zhou Dufu who hasn't met yet?"

He nodded and said to himself:

"Well, that's fine, let's make a choice between them as soon as possible. Besides, we were originally invited by the Empress Dowager Dugu to perform the conferring ceremony, and now we understand the situation. Dugu and Li Mingyi are allies, and now we are really in control. There is no need for us to vacillate when we are away from the court. We have the same interests as Dugu, and we can do our best to help her become Zen."

Zhao Rong smiled and waved his hands.

"Zhou Dufu's side, we really don't have to deliberately go to see him, but we won't miss him. We will leave tomorrow to catch up with Feng Chan, but it doesn't affect their coming.

"Brother Yiwu, actually, I don't think Zhou Dufu can sit still. Just wait and see, maybe they are also in the next guest room now, why don't you knock on the door? Besides."

Zhao Rong paused, and looked at Gu Yiwu with a smile, "Who else said that we have the same interests as Dugu and we have to do our best to help her?"

Hearing this, the burly Confucian scholar and the other students immediately frowned and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Didn't they come down to the mountain for the assessment, so that Meng Zhengjun had to give a high score for the successful completion of the Zen ceremony?
And Dugu invited them to enshrine the young emperor, could it be possible that they still want to fail?If you can continue to help them, look at her gifts.

Gu Yiwu was really dazed by his friend's words, and wanted to ask with a confused face, but at this moment, Zhao Rong spoke again.

Seeing him who prostituted two stunning fairies for nothing tonight, he let out a long sigh, clenched his fists and hammered his palms and said bitterly: "Hey, Dufu Zhou, why didn't you come? I don't know if there are any proud girls in Nanchen Palace Kind of fairies."

Gu Yiwu and a group of students: "..."

Zhao Qianer: "!!!"

Zhao Rong smiled embarrassedly and waved his hands at them, "Actually, there is no other meaning, just curiosity, and want to get to know each other."

Gu Yiwu opened his mouth, looked at Zhao Rong who was sighing, and choked out a sentence: "Ziyu, people can't, at least they shouldn't."

Zhao Rong smiled for a while and gradually straightened his face. He glanced at the crowd and said leisurely:

"We deliberately stayed in Xingzi Town, apart from figuring out the current situation in Dali and the interests of all parties, there is also the most important point.

"Achieving the former can only be regarded as fulfilling a small part of the purpose, incidentally. The latter is the real purpose of our coming here."

Zhao Rong paused, and gave Gu Yiwu an expectant and encouraging look.

The burly Confucian scholar with thick eyebrows and big eyes frowned, and a certain tiger shook his body, and he realized everything, "Ziyu, you mean, the most important purpose of our coming here is...to prostitute for nothing!"

Zhao Rong's smile was slightly fixed, and the corners of his mouth that had just turned up couldn't help twitching. He looked at Gu Yiwu who was stunned speechlessly, and in the next second, his face was stern and decisive, "No!"

"Isn't it for nothing? Then you worked so hard for nothing tonight... Okay, what is that? Ziyu, don't be foolish, tell me!"

Everyone was confused and urged.

Zhao Rong felt that he shouldn't have been wasting his emotions with these crouching dragons and phoenixes with them.Hey, invincible is so, so lonely...

He said straightforwardly: "Everyone, what is our identity when we come to Dali on this trip?"

A student from Zhengyi Hall analyzed, "We are here for the assessment, so...to assess the students?"

"It's small, the layout is small." Zhao Rong shook his head.

Gu Yiwu relaxed his eyebrows at this time, nodded slowly, and realized: "In the eyes of the princes and common people in the Dali court, we represent Linlu Academy, and we are the authority among the authorities of the Fengchan ceremony..."

There was another student who was more witty and rushed to conclude: "So we are the emissaries of the immortal family sent down by the big forces, and we also like to prostitute for free, so they have to come here to make fun of it."

Zhao Rong shook his head, this time he was not joking, and explained seriously: "Everyone, prostitution for free is just a means, not an end."

Then, without waiting for the students to respond, he changed the subject and agreed:
"That's right, the identity of the immortal envoy of the Daxian family is our role on the chessboard of Dali. If we want to maintain the greatest influence, let the forces of all parties fear to curry favor with us, and influence the direction of the situation in Dali. It is necessary to maintain this role positioning, and in the eyes of everyone in Dali, there must be no deviation in the slightest.

"As for privately, which side we lean towards in our hearts and what we think, that's another matter, but we can't show it now, let them find out the bottom line. This was the case before the ceremony of Fengchan was successfully held. "

Gu Yiwu was in a daze, and concluded:
"So we must have a business-like attitude at the beginning? At least on the surface, we must behave like this. Then let those who have interests come to us and ask for our support. In the end, just like tonight, we will be manipulated at will?"

Suddenly another student from Justice Hall spoke calmly:

"Mr. Zhao Xiao, I have a question. Even so, as Mochi students, Dali Fengchan is our mid-month assessment. Presumably everyone who is interested in Dali should have inquired clearly. How can we hide it from them? "

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows.

At this moment, Gu Yiwu nodded in agreement with his colleague's question, and at the same time said in doubt:
"And Tzuyu, why did you accept Su Xianzi and Luo Xianzi tonight? They are romantic, but they are irresponsible prostitutes. According to our role positioning as you just said, this is not detrimental to integrity. , Is it a businesslike image?"

When Zhao Rong heard this, he looked around and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He first looked at the student in front who raised doubts, with admiration in his eyes, but his expression was half a smile, and he asked:
"Who said that we, as assessment students, can't uphold a business-like attitude when it comes to Fengchan ceremony? Do we have to get high scores in the exam? Can't we just not care?"

At first glance, I have never been a scumbag. In this regard, Brother Yushu has done a good job. Well, the days of fishing and paddling with Brother Yushu are really nostalgic. I miss his No.40 days...

Zhao Rong narrowed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and looked at everyone:

"And it is precisely because we don't care about it that we are not in a hurry for Feng Chan's departure. Whoever wants to be in a hurry, whoever is in a hurry, anyway, we will definitely not be the most urgent one, just under the eyes of various forces in Dali, slowly Tuntun hurried on the road, took a leisurely detour to Xingzi Town to play, went to Zuixianlou to drink flower wine...

"If we are not in a hurry, we will wait slowly to see who is in a hurry first. On the other hand, if we rush to Hanjing in a hurry, we will expose our old background, and we will naturally distinguish between friends and foes. It's still a ground snake hiding in the dark, we must be confused." He shook his head.

At this time, Zhao Rong became the focus of everyone in the room. His words were like an invisible big hand, holding their eyes firmly and not taking their eyes off.

"...Moreover, a great man once said that human nature is a cheap thing, something that is easily obtained, and it is difficult to cherish it.

"The more you go to help them enthusiastically, they will become suspicious or indifferent, and if you hang them, they can't help but come to you and beg you, but you just don't let go, let them scratch their heads and beg for everything Please, then after they finally get help, they will cherish it more carefully, and when it is done, they will be even more grateful and grateful, and will always remember their kindness."

Zhao Rong on the chair chuckled, leaned to the other side, and supported his chin with another hand.

His voice stopped, and he looked around the room. Gu Yiwu and the others either frowned in thought, or had a sudden epiphany.

"Hiss, it makes sense. Ziyu, who is the sage who said this? He actually said such wise words." Gu Yiwu opened his eyes sharply.

"Ah, to be honest, I'm here." Zhao Rong looked a little embarrassed.

(((*)
Everyone in the room: The great man is yourself!

"Brother Yiwu has won the award, dare not take it." Zhao Rong cupped his hands.

Don't dare to be?You have become a fucking great man, so what dare not be...

Gu Yiwu's head was full of black lines.

After letting everyone digest it for a while, Zhao Rong cast his calm gaze on Gu Yiwu, and asked again with great interest:
"And who said that people who conduct business must maintain an upright attitude and cannot go whoring for nothing?

"We try our best to be a gentleman in their eyes, and we work hard to maintain the so-called fair authority. Instead, it is a self-defeating burden, making all parties think that we are fair and honest, and it is difficult to deal with. This is contrary to our ultimate goal."

Gu Yiwu kept his waist straight, "Ziyu, you mean..."

Zhao Rong turned his head and looked at everyone:
"I just said that whether it's free prostitution or the initial stance of business affairs, it's just a means, not an end.

"We went down the mountain as envoys of the academy, and we are the neutral authority of the Fengchan Grand Ceremony, why should we stand in line so stupidly?
"Secretly, no matter how many forces they belong to, no matter what grievances and grievances they have between them, we don't care, and we welcome them to come to us to contact and give gifts, and express their interests.

"Which of them want to succeed in the Fengchan ceremony, who want to fail in the Fengchan ceremony, or other weird results, you can open up and let us just smile and listen, and figure it out by the way, and then you can gradually give them some vague and ambiguous answers. 'Absolutely', but until the final Fengchan ceremony is successfully completed and the truth comes to light, we will not be completely biased towards either side."

Zhao Rong opened the palm of one hand, reached forward, and grabbed it hard from the air.

"Just like this, to balance all the forces, to keep them from messing around. During this process, we only need to prepare for Feng Chan with all our strength. At that time, the success or failure of Feng Chan will be based on doing our best and obeying the destiny. This is the truth. The purpose of our trip.

"But they don't know this. For Feng Chan, they are laymen, and we are Confucian scholars who study rites, and we are experts in their eyes, um, but in fact, we are not sure.

"Whether it's the Dugu Clan, Zhou Dufu and Li Mingyi, or some other messy forces, in order not to offend us, let us completely surrender to their enemies. In the process of preparing for the Zen ceremony, we dare not make trouble of.

"As for their constant gift giving or talking about feelings in private, let's give them some flirty hints or promises as appropriate depending on the situation. Maybe they will volunteer to provide us with some help to make Feng Chan's matter more smooth."

Gu Yiwu and other students' eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

They all saw the admiration in the eyes of others.

Zhao Rong propped his chin, slowly:
"In short, there is only one guiding principle for all our actions in Da Li Feng Chan this time - jump repeatedly!
"Whether it's an enemy or a friend, we'll see each other at the last minute. But by then, we'll probably all go back to the academy with Meng Zhengjun. It doesn't matter what happened to them."

After listening with some breathlessness, Gu Yiwu took a deep look at Zhao Rong.

Most of the people in the room are like this.

Zhao Rong was slumped on the chair, sitting or not, and the uncomplaining Zhao Xiaoxian behind him was giving him a gentle massage.

Zhao Xiaoxian, who fell in love, took care of and served her lover wholeheartedly, which often made them sigh and itch their teeth with envy.

At this time, the burly Confucian scholar raised his hand and rubbed his face, let out a long breath, with a slightly worried tone:
"Ziyu, this plan of yours is really ingenious. Hey, I'm ashamed... However, for this kind of vacillating attitude, after all, it is difficult to grasp the accuracy? What if the relationship is not resolved once? Well, it will lead to serious consequences and even be in danger."

Zhao Rong nodded, then shook his head again.

His face was calm, and his tone was also calm, "So, I will handle this matter in detail. I am solely responsible for handling the relationship with them and communicating with them."

Gu Yiwu and others finally figured out some of the context of what happened tonight, especially the so-called white whoring. Looking at the young Confucian scholar with downcast eyes in front of them, they sighed a little, and at the same time hesitated to speak.

Gu Yiwu: "Ziyu."

A group of justice hall students: "Mr. Zhao Xiao..."

Zhao Rong smiled suddenly with downcast eyes, interrupting them who were about to say something:
"Look, gentlemen. The Dugu Empress Dowager and Li Xianwang actually gave me beauties, good-looking beauties, interesting beauties... Well, it really suits my heart."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, silently.

Zhao Rong smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said slowly:

"This is how I figured out my 'preferences', Zhao Ziyu. Knowing that I am a seven-foot man who married in order to eat delicious soft rice, I guess he is very lustful. Now that I sent a beauty to me, I didn't expect not only to be successful in my arms I, Zhao Ziyu, shamelessly hugged the fairies, went whoring for nothing, and didn't even pay for a meal...they investigated very carefully."

He turned his head and joked to Gu Yiwu and the others:
"You said, if the Queen Mother Dugu who lives in Hanjing's mother's house learned that I, Zhao Ziyu, is a lustful and greedy person from everyone in Lefang, would she be happy or worried? Or maybe both, The former has more ingredients."

Everyone was speechless.

Co-authoring Tzuyu is also acting... tonight on the first floor of Zuixian Tower, we really have to show off our acting skills.

Gu Yiwu sighed.

The same is 'business affairs'.

There is no need to think about an honest gentleman who doesn't get into oil and salt, and a greedy, lustful and cunning Confucian scholar who yearns for more. In the eyes of all forces in Dali, the latter is obviously more in line with their wishes.

Respect is respect for a gentleman who is upright and rigid in doing things, but this kind of noble person is respected by everyone, because oil and salt do not enter.

But it's just desire and dissatisfaction, so everyone is not afraid of the cunning Confucian scholar who is doing business, and even feels very kind while cursing inwardly, because he is nothing more than a price.

With the interests of the latter in place, everything is easy to talk about, and I am afraid that the former will not even talk about it.

The burly scholar looked at Zhao Rong and pursed his lips.

Ziyu's current intention is to pretend to be the latter, to delay time, ease conflicts, and buy time and space for Feng Chan's ceremony.

How can he be a prostitute for nothing? He is clearly a self-defiled man who is playing tricks and taking the initiative to take matters into his own hands.

Because how can a gift be so easy to receive... After all, it is an unknown hidden danger.

So tonight he didn't let them receive gifts for nothing.

Gu Yiwu said solemnly: "So what if we accept the gifts together, if something happens to the academy, we will take care of it together, what do you mean by taking the risk of this matter alone and removing us all?"

He had a rough Chinese character face with a bit of resentment, turned his face away, hammered the table, and said in a deep voice:

"In this etiquette assessment, since we took the initiative to stand up for you, we have shared difficulties and shared blessings together. How can you make us feel so embarrassed when you decide on your own?"

Zhao Rong couldn't help raising his eyes, his heart warmed slightly.

He shook his head and said in a serious tone:
"Brother Yiwu and everyone, you don't have to blame yourself. You are down the mountain because of me. I, Zhao Ziyu, have the responsibility to let you pass the test without incident. Otherwise, I will not be able to pass this test in my heart... Well, this time, I may not have thought carefully , but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, if there is a next time, I will discuss it with you carefully."

Gu Yiwu and the others were still a little frustrated, sighed, and finally had to give up.

Soon.

Gu Yiwu still couldn't help shaking his head:

"Ziyu, why did this matter come to this?"

Zhao Rong smiled, "This big departure is quite interesting, let me, a shameless Confucian scholar, meet them well."

Gu Yiwu sat upright, with a serious face, and said: "Ziyu, you are not a greedy and lustful despicable Confucian scholar, they are short-sighted and don't know real men, but in front of us, you must never say such things in the future."

This burly Confucian scholar had a rare serious tone.

The students of Justice Hall followed suit.

Zhao Rong, who was joking, froze slightly, restrained his smile, and nodded slightly.

At this moment, a little girl's little hand on his arm had stopped rubbing his shoulder for a long time.

Zhao Rong raised his right hand and covered her nephrite-like little hand.

Pat patted.

……

Soon, Zhao Rong, Gu Yiwu and other students discussed some matters about the departure tomorrow.

Then they dispersed.

Zhao Rong led the silent little Qian'er behind him, and returned to the third floor...
