fifth form

In front of the huge bronze horse, Kong Zhong walked back and forth, with a hint of bitterness in his heart from time to time.

Du Wencai and others also looked bad and seemed a bit panicked.

This is a rare situation for great cultivators. Everyone is restless at this time, and they all look at each other and interact with each other.

When Kong Anguo strode out from the inner hall of the Golden Horse Gate, Kong Zhong in front breathed a sigh of relief.

"Guys, please keep this matter secret and move to Chang'an City as soon as possible," Kong Zhong said in a low voice.

"What a waste," Du Wencai sighed.

"The higher-ups haven't gotten down yet, so they deserve to listen to that man named Zhuang," Ye Siqian said in a low voice.

"It's useless to say anything now that a person is dead," Zhu Jiusi whispered: "Once Shen Pei's gang finds out, we will definitely be implicated!"

"They don't dare to target Brother Kong boldly, they will definitely target us," Li Mingrui said.

While everyone was communicating in low voices, Kong Anguo had already hurried over.

"Father!"

After Kong Anguo bowed respectfully, he said hello to everyone.

"Um...huh? An Guo, you have entered the country!"

Everyone responded uneasily, but Kong Zhong was somewhat strangely aware of something different about his son.

"Yes, father, I met the noble man today, and I naturally entered the country under the opportunity given by the noble man," Kong Anguo said happily.

"Have you met a noble person?"

Kong Zhong was surprised.

He looked around with wide eyes, wanting to see if Kong Anguo had met some important person who could provide him with such an opportunity.

The big shot didn't see it, but Kong Zhong accidentally saw the bus commander from the East Sima Gate.

"Where is your noble lord?"

Kong Zhong raised his head and stretched out his hands, saying hello to Zhang Xuezhou himself.

He withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help but want to ask the noble person quickly. If the other person was free, he felt that he needed to make a special trip to express his thanks.

What Kong Zhong and others are currently lacking in Chang'an City is noble people.

He even lost his direction at the moment. He only felt that Confucianism was difficult to stay in, but there was a lack of foundation outside Confucianism.

But they do need to find a new footing.

In Tingwei's prison, Zhao Wan could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide and die suddenly, followed by Wang Zang.

The two top scholars died in prison without being tried by the court.

Although Kong Zhong thought a lot, he only thought that Zhao Wan and Wang Zang were demoted, and never thought that such a great scholar would commit suicide.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

But the deaths of Zhao Wan and others were undoubtedly partly related to them, which also made Kong Zhong and others panic.

These are the two great Confucian scholars who have the highest hopes for Confucianism at the moment. One is one of the Three Dukes, the other is one of the Nine Qings, and behind him is Shen Peigong, the Taizhong official.

Confucianism has occupied an extremely important position in the imperial court, but the sudden death of these two most powerful Confucian officials will undoubtedly disrupt all the plans of the Lu School Confucianism.

Regardless of whether they are the chief culprits, whether they are self-protection or justice, it is hard to say what the consequences will be when this storm is involved.

It’s not surprising that everyone is panicking.

Kong Zhong even wanted to find a new backer for Confucianism to see if he could temporarily replace Zhao Wan and others.

"This Oriental Scholar is a noble man," Kong Anguo said seriously: "The boy was enlightened by the Oriental Scholar, and he was able to overcome the difficulties that had not been solved for many years, and successfully entered the Pulse Realm."

"Ah, is this the noble man?"

Kong Zhong opened his mouth.

He did not expect for a moment what kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure Zhang Xuezhou had obtained, or what mysterious magic method he had used, which actually caused Kong Anguo to become enlightened.

But a noble person like Zhang Xuezhou was a bit far away from his imagination.

"Everyone who is noble or not is an old friend!"

Zhang Xuezhou laughed and inserted himself into the crowd. He noticed the unnatural expressions on the faces of the Confucian scholars and knew that these people were probably being used as a shield against Zhao Wan and others. At this time, they were almost roasting on the fire.

Things might be worse than he imagined.

But no matter how turbulent the court is, it is difficult to involve the group of bachelors like him who are waiting for an imperial edict.

Sooner or later, the matter would be announced by the court, and Zhang Xuezhou didn't say much after thinking about it.

"Father, although the Eastern Scholar is not a Confucian, he is very close to Confucianism." Kong Anguo said happily: "He has the virtues of a gentleman and is very kind-hearted. If it weren't for the help of the Eastern Scholar, I would not be able to find you in these ten days." I don’t know how scared I am, let alone breaking the threshold of spiritual practice!”

"Dad is doing big things these days, so he can't get away!"

After being reminded by Kong Anguo, Kong Zhong realized that he had been waiting in that dark place for nearly half a month.

"Just ask the teacher to tell you before you do something important." Kong Anguo said regretfully and happily: "But if you don't arrange it, there will be no arrangement. If you hadn't arranged it, father, I might not have been able to get the gift from the Oriental Bachelor." What an opportunity!"

"uh-huh!"

Kong Anguo said that chance is not the point, the point is that Kong Anguo mentioned a person.

Kong Anguo's teachers included Fu Sheng, a Confucian of the Qi school, and Shen Peigong, a Confucian of the Lu school.

The leaders of many factions are proud to be teachers of the Confucian family, and the Confucian family also needs to rely on major Confucian schools, but the true relationship between master and disciple is hard to describe.

At least Kong Zhong felt that if a student failed to enter the spiritual realm after teaching for six or seven years, being a teacher would not be very satisfying.

"My father often said that people should repay kindness. The Eastern Bachelor gave my son a great opportunity, and the child felt that he should repay the Eastern Bachelor well," said Kong Anguo.

"Ah, it's... what kind of heavy reward?"

Kong Zhong was thinking about how to face Shen Peigong, and he hesitated to respond to Kong Anguo's words.

He didn't come to his senses until Kong Anguo mentioned the heavy reward.

The ancestors of the Kong family have laid a great foundation, but the descendants of the Kong family are not able to do enough to keep everything in the Kong family. This makes the Kong family always very generous and constantly spreading their wealth to ensure safety.

This style lasted for several generations, and Kong Anguo naturally inherited it.

But after so many years of dispersing their wealth, the Kong family can no longer afford to do so.

If possible, Kong Zhong didn't really like hearing the word heavy reward at the moment, but if Kong Anguo agreed, he still had to do what he had to do.

"It's a heavy reward to reward Eastern bachelors," Kong Anguo said happily: "People must repay their kindness, and the rules set in the family must not be untrustworthy. My child thinks this is a necessary heavy reward!"

"An Guo, you have done a good job, we should reward you generously!"

Although the Kong family can no longer afford to lose money, Kong Zhong's little pride for the family still exists in his heart.

He thought for a few seconds and had no choice but to temporarily put down many things in his mind, and then began to ask for his belongings from the old guys, thinking of settling this heavy reward as soon as possible.

"Brother, we haven't returned home yet, where did the good things come from!"

"A fight with that deer demon has left us with no choice but to hide in a hole in the ground. We have already used up everything we have!"

"It's already a good story that us monks in the magical power realm can survive fighting against the ninth-grade demon saint. Some losses are inevitable!"

"I get angry when I think about this. When I get angry, I feel that Zhao Wan deserves to end up like this!"

"Brother Li, be careful not to talk about Zhao Wan's suicide!"

"Brother Ye, I didn't say it, but you said it!"

"Look at my mouth, I'll slap myself twice in the face first!"

Kong Zhong asked the old guys to make a calculation, and everyone was left empty-handed.

They do have some good things, but no one gives away their own food, and even if they give away the magic weapon shovel and crowbar they have.

Kong Zhong had no choice but to touch himself.

"Master Dongfang, I don't have anything heavy at the moment, so I will deposit this order with you first, and I will take it back when I get something suitable to reward you!"

Kong Zhong took out the token as black as ink from his pocket.

He pledged the holy decree on his body as a heavy reward.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't understand this generous style for a while, and he only felt that the Kong family was a bit too generous.
