Dao fruit.

Anyang Bieyuan, located on the edge of the inner city, is the second real estate of Anyang Hou Pangyi in the capital.

The inner city of Xingjing is very expensive, and it is not easy for others to have a courtyard here, but Pang Yi occupies two places by himself. Although the other courtyard is located on the edge of the inner city and the area is not too large, it can still be seen that the power is extraordinary.

This is not something that money alone can buy.

On this day, after noon, the other courtyard was very busy with people coming and going.

When the sun went down and the sky darkened, the courtyard was lit with lamps, and when it was later, the lights were brightly lit.

From the evening onwards, people came one after another, bowed their hands to each other, and they were all Confucian disciples.

"When I received the invitation, I didn't take it seriously. I thought it was no big deal after being a general, but after I came, I saw you and realized that it was another grand event!"

At the gate of the other courtyard, several familiar Confucian scholars stopped to talk after meeting each other.

This time, the daughter of the Marquis of Anyang held a banquet in the other courtyard and sent out invitations. All the candidates were selected who were slightly famous among the candidates. There were not many people, but the gathering together seemed full of elegance.

This time, there are thousands of candidates. If everyone comes, not to mention the Anyang other courtyard, even the Anyang Marquis Mansion will not be able to accommodate them, so they can only choose people to send posts. However, this also reflects the Anyang Marquis Mansion from the side. It seems that they have a certain understanding of the situation of many candidates, so they can be screened out.

Here, Confucian scholars were talking, and as soon as the man's words fell, someone shook his head and said: "Although she is the daughter of a general, Marquis of Anyang is different from ordinary generals. Not only is she a distinguished queen, but she is also a powerful fighter."

"Oh? Brother Wang, you came from the Three Jins in the east of the river, and you know a lot about the frontier affairs. I don't know what merits this Marquis of Anyang has made?"

The scholar who asked the question was from the south. This talent ceremony gathered people from all over Darui. There were people from all corners of the country. At that time, communication was not smooth. Ordinary people without supernatural powers could hardly get news about current affairs, let alone military affairs. , and even don't know much about the generals of Darui.

This is also the case of Da Rui Chengping for a long time, and Ma Fang Nanshan, who already ruled martial arts with literature, and scholars naturally have a sense of superiority over generals, so they don't pay much attention to them.

But now that it involves military affairs and is in Xingjing, it is naturally different.

When questioned, the scholar surnamed Wang replied: "The Marquis of Anyang guards the north. He took the initiative to send troops to the hinterland of Beihu several times to drive out several large tribes. He killed thousands of enemies every time. He is a first-class general. If it wasn't for him to turn the tide, the country would have to cede territory for peace again."

When he said this, it would inevitably lead to others' discussions, and each had their own opinions on the military strategy, as if he was a famous military strategist in his words.

But someone frowned and asked, "Yet? Why did Brother Wang say the word 'again'?"

"It's better that you don't know about this..." The scholar surnamed Wang shook his head, knowing that he had slipped his mouth, but he didn't deliberately conceal and cover up, so as to attract people's imagination.

In this way, others wanted to know the situation even more, and they asked more carefully.

The scholar in question is a microcosm, and there are many similar groups around, or they are facing each other, or they are in groups of three or four.

Their topics were not complicated, most of them were military affairs, or related to the Marquis of Anyang, the lord of the other court, but it didn't take long before they focused on the examination, but not all the content of the examination questions was involved in the conversation, and there was also the discussion of the meeting. Try the rumors about it.

"Have you heard? This time, the test questions were leaked ahead of time."

"I've also heard a little bit about this matter. I heard that officials from the Ministry of Rites were involved, and the imperial court has sent officials to investigate secretly."

"Really? I thought it was nonsense!"

"The Tribute Court has not yet opened, and many examiners are still in it. I don't know if there is any change in it."

"If you miss the question in advance, it may not be impossible, as far as I know..."

……

After talking and talking, the scholars slowly moved forward and walked into the other courtyard.

When passing through the door, many people couldn't help but take a second look at the two guards standing by the door.

These two men were dressed in armor, motionless like statues, but anyone who walked by them could catch a bit of unusual aura from them, giving rise to a strange feeling, and goosebumps appeared on the surface of their skin.

In contrast, the two guards looked at the passing scholar with an imperceptible look of contempt.

"These two have also been on the battlefield. Although they restrained their killing intentions, there was still a hint of leaks. This Pang family is really extraordinary. It is worthy of a family in the army. The two guards outside the examination room that day were murderous. It is already impressive. Surprised, I didn't expect the guards guarding the gate today to be extraordinary."

In the distance, Qiu Yan walked slowly. He saw the guard by the door, and soon saw some clues. He thought to himself, he kept stepping on the ground, his body swayed, giving people a feeling of lightness, as if He didn't have the slightest strength, but with a sway of his body, he was a foot away, abrupt but natural, full of contradictions, but the few scholars beside him didn't respond.

Two days have passed since the day when Pang Qianru and others came to the door.

Qiu Yan came here this time for a banquet. Compared with two days ago, his complexion was still pale, but there was a little color, but when he was walking, he still gave people a feeling of weakness.

The two guards, who didn't like the weak appearance of many scholars, happened to see Qiu Yan at this moment, noticed his pale complexion, sloppy footsteps, and the contempt in their eyes became more intense, but when they blinked, they saw Qiu Yan. Suddenly, there was a flash of a figure, and Qiu Yan was right in front of him!

"Huh?" The trance struck, making the two of them feel a sense of fuzzy memory, and then their blood rushed, and they repeated Qingming, but Qiu Yan had already passed them by.

"The scholar just now..." The next moment, the two guards looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, and then they restrained their contempt.

………………

"My control over the city's thoughts is not pure enough. It is good to affect the senses of ordinary people. If it is against someone with some cultivation and full of vitality, the degree of interference will be greatly reduced. It is still not enough to understand."

In the courtyard, Qiu Yan who walked through the door was thinking about it, when someone greeted him by the door and asked him to take out the invitation card.

Qiu Yan also had an invitation card, which was sent to the inn by people from the Pang Mansion yesterday.

Walking into the courtyard gate, bypassing the screen wall, and set up a table with a roster on it, a middle-aged scholar sat behind, comparing the roster, and behind him, stood a young servant in blue with gurgling eyes turn around.

After Qiu Yan handed over the invitation, he was not in a hurry, and turned his head to look at the scene in the courtyard.

The main hall is brightly lit, and carved beams can be vaguely seen. On both sides of the path in front of the door, there are low tables and cushions.

Between the table mats, many scholars gathered and were led to sit down one by one.

"There are quite a few people here today."

While Qiu Yan was muttering, the middle-aged scholar took his invitation card, glanced at it, and then looked up for a moment, with a strange look in his eyes.

"So it's Mr. Qiu, please come inside, my lady has been waiting for a long time."

Qiu Yan nodded and stepped in, while the middle-aged scholar turned his head and gave instructions to the boy, who took the order and ran towards the backyard.

Qiu Yan didn't pay attention, and walked inward under the guidance of the famous servant girl. Seeing this posture, he was about to enter the main hall.

This scene, seen by the scholar by the door, inevitably aroused discussion.

Only a few candidates were invited to this banquet, and everyone who was invited was very happy, but as soon as they walked in, they saw the arrangement of seats and knew that some people sat in the outer courtyard, while others could enter the hall, and they immediately felt unbalanced up.

Intellectually, they know that there are too many people invited, and the lobby is small, so they can only arrange it this way, but emotionally, how many people will feel that they are inferior to others, and those who can enter the lobby are undoubtedly the best. How can those who enter it be convinced?

Seeing that Qiu Yan was about to be led in, the few people who were close to him immediately stepped forward.

"Wait a minute!" The leader was a 30-year-old man, gentle and elegant, with a heroic spirit hidden between his brows, and he seemed to be a man of determination.

"Dare to ask this brother's name?" He stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and blocked Qiu Yan's way calmly.

"This young master..." The maid who led the way was about to explain, but Qiu Yan took a step forward, squinted his eyes and sized him up, with a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

The man on the opposite side suddenly had a feeling of being seen through, and he was about to retreat, but he had no choice but to calm down the strange feeling in his heart. He was about to speak, but Qiu Yan preempted him.

"Brother, maybe you feel that I am unfamiliar, but you are led to the lobby, and you feel unwilling, so come here to stop you?" Qiu Yan clarified his words as soon as he opened his mouth, and there was an atmosphere of tension around him immediately. .

Qiu Yan met Wen Zhizhen outside the Gongyuan that day, and his reputation has spread, but there were so many people at that time, it was impossible for everyone to see his appearance, so this face was still very strange in the eyes of many people.

"This..." The man didn't expect Qiu Yan to be so direct, and he was speechless for a while.

"Don't be surprised." Qiu Yan laughed. He came to the banquet this time for two purposes. One is to gain fame and clear away many artificial obstacles. , it is inevitable to deal with everyone at the banquet, and there is no reason to back down when someone comes to the door.

"Wen Wu No. [-], I think you must be dissatisfied, and you don't need to say anything empty. It's just a literary fight. I see that you have firmness in your brows, and your demeanor is lawful. There is a gentleman in your eyes who respects you. I mean, what you should learn is the way of Sun Sheng, I will show you a piece of Sun Sheng's spirit, if you can solve it, Qiu will naturally retreat! Let you enter the room!"

Having said that, Qiu Yan turned his head and said to the maid: "Go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone." The aggressiveness in the words was beyond words.

The servant girl served the big family and met many people, but she was still stunned by Qiu Yan's words. When the other party's eyes fell, she was startled, her whole body was shocked, she didn't dare to refute, and she took the order to go!

When the servant girl left, Qiu Yan looked at the stunned man opposite him, turned his eyes, glanced at the people behind him, and then said with a smile: "Guys, you don't need to stand behind, but come forward." To be continued. Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
