Dao fruit.

Listening to the words full of suspicion and questioning, Qiu Yan remained calm, and didn't even look at the speaker, his eyes just stared at Chen Jing in front of him.

Chen Jing paused slightly when he heard the man talking, but when he noticed Qiu Yan's expression, he turned his head and said, "Brother Tao, please be safe, I am about to introduce you, this Mr. Qiu Yan is me. As mentioned before, the text is not inferior to Zhao Yuan."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the three people around him, and said to Qiu Yan: "Brother Qiu, this is what I mentioned to you that day, some friends who are going to Shilin, this brother Tao Ying, a scholar from a scholarly family He was born as a Jinshi in the second year of Zhiyou, and he was a Shujishi, but now he is an official, and he is the parent official of Liang County."

Listening to the introduction, Qiu Yan raised his eyes and saw the person who had just spoken and questioned.

This person is about 30 years old, tall and tall, wearing dark clothes, and fair skin. At first glance, he looks like a person who has been pampered for a long time. It is bred by commanding others and manipulating authority.

This is official authority.

"It turned out to be Mr. Tao, nice to meet you." Qiu Yan cupped his hands in a salute, but his words were lukewarm. Even if Qiu Yan didn't care about what he said just now, it was impossible for him not to respond.

However, on the surface, Qiu Yan still felt a little strange about this person's identity.

The second year of Zhiyou was a year name used by the first emperor, about five or six years ago. After the emperor of Darui ascended the throne, there was not only one year name, and Zhiyou was just one of them.

This person was born as a Jinshi, and he was a Shujishi. They all have extraordinary political qualifications. Those who can pass the Darui General Examination are Jinshi, and they are divided into three classes. top three.However, alternate officials can fill in as soon as there is a vacancy. In fact, it is equivalent to being directly awarded an official position.

Those born as Jinshi are second-class. Such people are usually reserve officials of the imperial court, and some of them can be Shujishi. This position is equivalent to the emperor's secretary.Build contacts and be promoted easily in the future.

Qiu Yan was naturally surprised that a person with such a political background appeared here, not to mention that this person was still an official, the county magistrate of Liang County, but he ran to Dongdu.

Liang County is located in the southeast of Dongdu and belongs to Ruzhou Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of Dongdu.It can be seen from this that this Tao Ying actually went down to the local government to support her and make political achievements. This is a harbinger of the upcoming officialdom.

Greeted lukewarm.Tao Ying didn't show much dissatisfaction, but just bowed her hand in return.

Chen Jing pointed to another person and said: "This is the head of the road, a person of Qingping Dao, and a master of Dao."

Qiu Yan looked along Chen Jing's fingers.What I saw was a Taoist man with a sense of immortality, about 40 years old, with a long beard.He is well-mannered, if he is not wearing Taoist robes, he is afraid that he will be misunderstood as a learned person.

However, with a slight sweep of Qiu Yan's perception, he caught the hidden energy and blood fluctuations from the opponent's body, knowing that the opponent's body has cultivation.

The leader of the road seemed to have sensed it, raised his eyes slightly, called Daozu, saluted Qiu Yan, then didn't say much, stood up straight, looked at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart.

Qiu Yan then withdrew his gaze and looked at the last person.

"This is Chen Yun. He is a brother of the lower clan. He is a monk." What Chen Jing said made Qiu Yan stunned. He didn't expect Chen Jing to say the word monk so simply.

"I met Brother Qiu." Chen Yun was polite and enthusiastic, completely different from the previous two. After being introduced, he took the initiative to go forward.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Qiu Yan replied naturally, his eyes swept over the three of them, and his mind was spinning thoughts

"What is this Chen Jing, and the Chen family behind him, planning? Officials, Taoist priests, monks, and Chen Jing, a martial arts scholar, it is not easy to see such four people standing together. Collusion between officials, aristocratic families and Fang Wai, or keeping warriors in captivity, will not be easily revealed..."

In Darui, Confucianism is a prominent school, full of humanism, and the most sage ancestors of Confucianism, the attitude towards the supernatural power of ghosts and gods is not to talk about it, not to care about it. Adhering to this spirit, Confucianism advocates the power of oneself and strives for self-improvement. , There are many criticisms from outsiders.

Officials generally keep a distance from outsiders for the sake of reputation, at least superficially, like the Chen family, their own family members are monks, maybe there are, but they will never make it easy to let outsiders know .

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan recalled the feeling of crossing the barrier when he walked over just now.

"This place is shrouded in some kind of restriction, and I don't know who wrote it among the people present."

While Qiu Yan was pondering, Chen Jing said again: "Please come here, everyone, I have made it very clear in advance, but, as the saying goes, soldiers and horses go before they move food and grass, so there are some things that need to be made clear before leaving."

He stepped to the center of the group of people and said sincerely: "I can't say how important this incident is, but it has had a considerable impact after all. Therefore, everyone must clearly understand that the key to this success lies in Brother Qiu."

He raised his head and looked at Qiu Yan: "However, Brother Qiu came here just to investigate with us and did not make a decision. Please understand this."

"Huh? He hasn't made a decision yet?" Tao Ying frowned, as if she just found out about it, "Then Chen Jing, you called us all over, what do you mean? But not free enough to go back and forth.”

Chen Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he even smiled, and said calmly: "Brother Tao, don't worry, I called everyone here to explain this matter, and at the same time let everyone meet and get to know each other better, besides, Qiu Brother, if you agree to cooperate after seeing Shengxiantang, then naturally you have to try it on the spot."

"Try it on the spot?" Tao Ying frowned even tighter, "Because this is why we were called here? If so, it makes sense, but you are the only one who can say how good Qiu Yan's writing is. You say that he is better than Bai Zhaoyuan, it's a bit too much."

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"What kind of character is Bai Zhaoyuan? I have seen it a few times before, and I am deeply impressed. Just standing in front of him, all kinds of feelings will emerge in my heart, just like standing in front of a statue of a sage, and this Qiu Yan... ..."

Tao Ying was originally talking to Chen Jing, but at the end, she turned her head to look at Qiu Yan, rolled her eyes, looked from top to bottom, and shook her head: "I don't feel that kind of feeling on this person. Feel."

He has been an official for several years, and his aura is naturally different. When he speaks these words, one sentence after another, he feels like a storm. If it were an ordinary person, he would be shocked by the official power immediately, and thus lose ground and talk. dominance.

"It's not easy to gather a literary heart. I, Tao Ying, have an impure mind, and I am obsessed with profit and wealth. It is difficult to achieve a literary heart. But Brother Qiu will take part in the examination next year. I am afraid that I don't have much intellectual thought. I am concerned, this statement of Wenbiyiyi is a bit exaggerated. This time the matter is not clear, it is Chen Jing's fault, you must know that Wenxin can only carry two souls when entering the forest, and if there is a slight deviation, it will fall short. !"

This Tao Ying seemed to distrust Qiu Yan very much.

Just at this time, the passer-by who had been silent all this time said: "If you want to quarrel, you'd better change the place. This benefactor Qiu was followed by someone when he came over, and the follower has already entered the forest." .”

After hearing this, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Tao Ying's face, and she turned to look at Qiu Yan: "Young Master Qiu, why are you so careless? Could it be that Chen Jing didn't tell you to act in a hidden way?" At the end, he looked at Qiu Yan. Chen Jing.

Chen Jing suddenly said with a helpless expression: "I didn't think carefully about this matter, but Brother Qiu was a little careless about this matter, but the matter has come to this point, and it is not the time to blame each other. Let's leave as soon as possible!"

His words were undoubtedly to save Qiu Yan from the siege, but the words also implied that Qiu Yan made a mistake.

Immediately, the eyes of several people were all on Qiu Yan.

"Haha." Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan suddenly laughed, "Brother Chen, you don't need to continue acting. Qiu Mou really has the intention of cooperating here, but he doesn't intend to compete for the dominant position. You and this Brother Tao, It's completely unnecessary to sing together." He shook his head, glanced over the faces of several people, and noticed the slight changes in the eyes of Chen Jing and Tao Ying.

"From Brother Chen's words a few days ago, Qiu can see that today's matter, you have been planning for a long time, even if Qiu did not show up, you must use other methods to carry it out. Speak clearly?"

Qiu Yan smiled: "Besides, Mr. Tao must not be a narrow-minded person if he can be a parent official in a locality. How could he get angry because of some things about Qiu? You are going to beat Qiu."

When these words came out of Qiu Yan's mouth lightly, Chen Jing's face immediately changed, and he was about to defend himself.

But Qiu Yan waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, let's do it, since you and I are just trading, then don't engage in any trivial matters of intrigue and power, and there is no need to engage in friendship. Let's go straight to the point. How is Qiu's talent? I'll see you soon." You said the image of a sage in your mouth, and you are talking about other things, what can you do if you just say it with one mouth now?" After speaking, Qiu Yan stopped talking, and only looked at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He exchanged a glance with Tao Ying, who was looking down, and said no more.

On the other side, the road man suddenly regained his spirits and cast his eyes on Qiu Yan, with a strange look in his eyes.

At this time, Chen Yun said: "Since brother Qiu has already made it clear, let's not delay, let's start here." He raised his hand and made a seal, and the soil under the five people's feet trembled Arise, and a light shines from it.
