stand back, let me come

Chapter 284: 284

"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 brain ache. This world really has all kinds of weird abilities.

Science has a way out here?
I'm afraid the coffin boards have been nailed to death.

Uncle Gong nodded first, and then shook his head, Shen Tang was confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Fortunately, Gong Shuwu didn't deliberately sell Guan Zi.

"If Yan'an hadn't lied back then, my lord's guess would be close to ten, but if he lied, it would be difficult to say." Uncle Gong paused, and asked, "My lord thinks that Yan'an is a literary scholar , will you fully explain the truth?"

It's not that he intends to map cannons, but that the group of Wenxin scholars have three properties per capita, because "the cunning rabbit has three caves".

Especially when it comes to such a private hole card as the Way of Scribes, it cannot be easily figured out by outsiders, and one must always keep a hand.

Gong Shuwu tends to have reservations about Yanan.

Shen Tang: "How is Banbu's friendship with Yan Xingning?"

"I've said a few words, but if I have to say it, it should be 'half-baked'." Gong Shuwu rarely joked, "Yan'an's father is a famous scholar of Xin Guo, and also a courtier of Xin Guo. He has a high status and a great reputation among the scholars, and those who want to be apprentices can step through the threshold of their family, but it is difficult for Yan An to become famous at a young age."

Gong Shuwu, as the younger brother of the head of the Gong family, is also a highly valued military officer, so he naturally belongs to the hot and popular Diamond King of the capital.However, he is a little older than Yan An, and the two are not considered to be of the same generation. They have a culture and a martial arts, and there is a generation gap in communication.

"Yan An once said publicly that his way of literati is 'nothing', and its effect is similar to the 'half-hearted, double-minded' eloquence of Wenxin scribes. However, the latter can only exist for a short time, and only has a vague human form, while the former is It’s really an illusion that can almost resemble the real one, and the avatar can also walk outside. Other than that, there is nothing special about it.”

This way of literati seems to be very magical, but in fact it is very tasteless. Even Yan An himself said that it is useless except to be lazy.

Chu Yao grasped the key point.

"Say it in public?"

What is the way of scribes?

The trump card of Wenxin scribes.

At the critical moment, he might be able to turn the tables against the wind, and even save his own life. Is Yan An so careless to say it in public?It's enough to confess in public, and he also talked about his ability in detail, which is not normal no matter how you look at it.

Gong Shuwu carefully recalled the scene at that time.

Explained: "I remember it was at a court banquet, the old lord wanted to show off to the envoys of other countries."

To put it simply, the neighboring country boasted that there was a young man in their country who was under [-] years old and possessed a special ability as a scholar. He made the host of the Xin Kingdom face the face of the old head of the country.In the end, it was Yan'an who stepped forward to win the round.

Yan An was younger.

Sixteen to get it, eighteen to master it, and twenty to achieve it.

The way of scribes is not so easy to control.

Yan'an's words aroused the envoy's doubts.

So Yan'an publicly confessed the ability of literati. Gong Shuwu was also there at the time, and I remember it very deeply-if this ability is used for suicide attacks, who can bear it.

Moreover, his name of the way of scribes is also special.

【Nothing exists】

It's entirely in Gong Shuwu's aesthetic point.

Shen Tang was curious about gossip: "'Three Hearts, Two Minds', the Wenxinyanling, can transform into two cultural energy incarnations, one mind and three functions, but the duration is short, but Yan Xingning's cultural energy incarnation can run around freely...then he can divide it at most. How many cultural incarnations are there?"

Really envious.

Uncle Gong said: "He himself said it was two ways."

But it was written in the bottom of his eyes——

No dog would believe the mouth of Wenxin scribes.

Shen Tang: "Back then, there were two paths. Now that so many years have passed, it is conservatively estimated that there are six paths, plus the deity, a total of seven. Good guy, he can be used as seven people."

What a good 996 and 007 players...

The king of contemporary roll kings!

Gong Shuwu: "..."

Chu Yao: "..."

Is the lord only concerned about this?
Even if one person can be used by seven people, it is still serving others, no matter how envious they are, it is useless.

The pattern opens——

Gong Shuwu: "It doesn't matter whether there are two or six Wenqi incarnations. The important thing is that the Wenqi incarnation dies, and the deity will know. Now is not the time to scare the snake. Yan'an, the character, should be avoided as much as possible..."

Even though his name is Yan'an and his style name is Xingning, he will think that he is a "quiet and quiet" type of elegant scholar-any well-known 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 more ruthless.

Shen Tang naturally understood this truth.

When Gong Shuwu said that the emissary Yan Xingning was not the true deity, she gave up the idea of ​​letting him have an "accident".

One of the principles of killing and exterminating the mouth is to kill the weeds and eradicate the roots, and kill an incarnation of cultural energy without endangering the deity.

What did she go to all that trouble for?

Shen Tang was more concerned about Yan An's intentions.

For whom?

Why come?

Could it be that a few of them have been exposed?Yan An guessed that the Xin Guoxie in Gong Shuwu's hand was in his own hand?
It's about her life.

"Tell me, did Yan An find anything?"

"There must be doubts, otherwise I wouldn't have tried in every possible way." Speaking of this, Chu Yao secretly rejoiced that he had prepared for a rainy day and asked Qishan to disguise several people, but he didn't expect it to come in handy. "But he has no evidence, we have to Hold your breath."

Shen Tang nodded. Since Yan An's way of being a literati is hard to guard against, she suggested what to do these few days, rest for a few days, and make full preparations before entering He Yin to take office.

For larger movements, temporarily stop for a day or two.

correct--

"Shall we check the code?"

Chu Yao was not that nervous, and even teased with a little ease: "Well, it's okay, the secret code is decided by Goro?"

Shen Tang was excited: "Yes."

When Gu Chi received a few sheets of "Qi Min Yao Shu" written by Chu Yao silently, he found that there was an extra sentence at the beginning——

[How old is Goro? 】

[How tall is Goro? 】

Gu Chi: "???"

Is the style of "Qi Min Yao Shu" wrong?
Ask again, this is a password.

In the future, the blue bird will send letters or meet each other, and use this as a number.

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 is the answer to the code? 】

Chu Yao: 【...is the 'secret'. 】

Gu Chi: "..."

He has something to say, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

The Three Masters of Chu State back then probably didn't have Shen Tang eating too much pancakes, and he had such a big pancake just like her!

Kang Shi didn't know Yan An was here until he received a message from Jade Bird. He frowned slightly, thankful that he wasn't there at the time.Otherwise, being bumped into by Yan'an might cause trouble to the lord, after all, Yan'an is no good.

It was also fortunate that Shen Tang could hold his breath.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to expose the past.

Captain Yang took a sip of the warm rice wine, saw Kang Shi with a serious expression, and asked, "Is this banquet so difficult?"

"Yan Xingning's way of literati is not as simple as what Uncle Gong said. The so-called 'incarnation of literary spirit' is just deliberately made up by him to hide his clumsiness. 'Nothing exists' is originally a fiction. Since it is a fiction, it is naturally not true. existing……"

Yang Duwei was a little confused.

"Why exactly?"

Kang Shi said, "I don't know either."

He doesn't have many friends, and because of his literati way, he doesn't have many friends.He and Yan An became good friends, and they seldom walked around, because Yan An's way of literati could restrain him.

But Kang Shi did not have a deep friendship with him.

Yang Duwei was surprised: "You don't know either?"

So how can Gong Shuwu be wrong?

Kang Shi said, "It's just speculation and intuition."

Yang Duwei insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

"tell me the story."

"It's just a guess, just listen to it, don't take it seriously—" Kang Shi poured himself a bowl of wine, took a sip, savored it carefully, and did not forget to give Yang Duwei an injection in advance, "Banquet An's father once revealed with his friends after drinking that Yan An's way of literati can subvert the cause and effect of reality and reality, but it is unknown to what extent it can be achieved."

Yang Duwei still didn't understand.

"False cause and effect?"

"Let the false become true or the true become false." Kang Shi said, "I've only heard about it. It's hard to say whether it's true or false."

Yang Duwei had an expression of "I believe you have ghosts"—is it so easy to "hear" this kind of secret?And who passed it on?Huan Yan'an's father made a slip of the tongue after drinking...

After getting along for a while, it can be seen that Kang Shi is not such a careless person.His words are half true.

Yang Duwei smacked carefully.

True and false...

cause and effect……

Literally, it's not easy.

Captain Yang couldn't help rolling his eyes, and muttered, "Young juniors nowadays are really more difficult to deal with than one."

I think when he was young, although there were many talented scribes, most of the scribes' ways were well-behaved, unlike now——

It's really a dance of demons.

For a moment, Duwei Yang didn't know whether to be lucky or regretful, he was born more than ten years earlier, and he was not of their generation.Fortunately, I don't have to touch it, but unfortunately I can't fight against it.

Kang Shi smiled sarcastically.

Just a little worried in my heart.

at the same time--

The envoy and his party did not do what Shen Tang was worried about.

They finished their work and left straight away, but the speed was not fast, slow, and there was no sign of eagerness to come here day and night.Yan An asked, "Is there any movement?"

Another replied: "Nothing."

The night passed and there was still no movement.

Yan An felt suspicious, and had no choice but to let it go—he had seen Shen Youli himself, and there was nothing unusual about it, at most, he was born younger, immature, and his eyes were clearer, not like the ones who were carefully cultivated by the rich and famous. What came out was more like reeds growing wildly by the river beach, with vigorous vitality and an infectious vigor.

He said: "Go back and return to your life."

Yan An waved his hand, and disappeared into the distance on his horse. The strange thing is, the rest of the people didn't seem to see it, nor did they follow.

A group of 14 people just stopped in place for a while, and then went on the road again, occasionally hearing one or two whispers.

They seem to complete this mission too quickly?
at the same time-

Yan'an, who was far away in the capital, paused slightly.

After a moment of trance, continue to write.

There are piles of things on the table waiting to be dealt with.

Most of them are trivial matters. For example, if there is auspicious birth in a certain place, if a son is born and can speak, it must be a blessing from heaven, and bless the king for a long time; for example, officials of a certain place greet you and cry for poverty;

The rest is to report good news but not bad news.

but--

How could Yan'an not know the situation in various places?
Angry, he even wanted to write and scold him back, but he couldn't, because Yan'an was not the lord 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?

This is about to ask his good junior brother Zheng Qiao.

Able people should do more work.

Since senior brother Yan'an has this kind of heart, Zheng Qiao can't find something to do for himself and throw out the government affairs.

Playing and having fun in the palace every day, not having banquets with courtiers, or racing horses, hunting Cuju chuiwan with others...

The day before yesterday, because a groom had good chuiwan skills, he was awarded a knighthood on the spot. Although it was only the lowest, it was ridiculous enough.The other courtiers were like sharks who smelled blood, and they all fell in love with them, sending people everywhere to snare young beauties, and presenting actors who are good at singing and dancing in the mansion—of course, they must use this name to fish things out of their own pockets.

Yan'an wants to kill with a sword every day.

Zheng Qiao came over to take a look, and seeing his murderous aura, he said, "Who provoked Senior Brother to have such a murderous aura."

Yan'an didn't answer.

Zheng Qiao was rather bored.

Just before leaving, he asked: "That Shen Youli, senior brother let 'Zixu' see it? How is it?"

Hearing this, Yan An's eyelids trembled.

He said: "There is nothing wrong with this person."

Zheng Qiao sneered: "If there is a problem, I am not afraid of being alone."

Yan An looked at the junior brother who had changed greatly, and couldn't help but said: "In the long run, you are not afraid of death without a place to die?"

Zheng Qiao sneered, and waved her hand indifferently.

"It doesn't matter if you don't care about yourself."

Yan An's face showed anger.

Zheng Qiao turned a blind eye to it, and even smiled with a little complacency: "Even if you die alone, you will let the court officials die alone, especially the old ministers of the Xin Kingdom. Brother, don't worry too much, Huangquan Road is broken. won't be lonely."

Yan An pursed her lips and watched Zheng Qiao stride away.

"and many more!"

"What's the matter, brother?"

"About the previous court meeting..."

Zheng Qiao thought for a while, and said, "What are you talking about? Brother, if you can persuade them to take out their pockets, I will not stop you."

It was previously discussed to count the accounts of the grain depot and open the warehouse to release grain.

But there have been voices against it.

For the sake of stability, Zheng Qiao deliberately connives.

The courtiers didn't completely deny it, but it was procrastination, all kinds of delays, a group of people tacitly played football, and deliberately stuck Yan'an.Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the first snow is falling everywhere, if we don't solve it, I don't know how many common people will die this winter.

Yan An asked again: "If I want to kill someone..."

Zheng Qiao: "Senior brother is free to do as he pleases, but if they get caught by them, in order to stabilize his position, he must make the senior brother suffer."

He didn't say it too bluntly.

But Yan An could hear the subtext.

If this "bitterness" killed Yan An, in order to appease the "public anger", he would also die.

After Zheng Qiao left, Yan An was alone for a quarter of an hour before suppressing the roiling negative anger in his heart. He looked in the direction of the gate and murmured to the void, "Nothing, how long is it?"

after awhile.

He added: "Two years is enough."

------

Two days later.

Shen Tang woke up and found that the air temperature was much colder.

Pushing open the door, there is fine snow blowing in the wind.

It was freezing cold on the face.
