"Brother Li, looking at you, could it be that you have encountered something troublesome?"

Duolu has extraordinary eyesight and is even better at observing words and expressions. After arriving in the Central Plains, he paid attention to everything and never missed King Yan's expression. As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that King Yan had a different demeanor, and then he felt that the atmosphere in the room was solemn. There were two people standing aside with their heads down, silent, obviously being reprimanded, and he immediately made a guess.

However, on the surface, he remained calm. After looking around for a week, he said, "If it's convenient, you might as well tell me and let me hear it. Maybe someone can help Brother Li."

Dolu's statement came at the right time, and he said that he would support him without even asking the reason, which showed his enthusiasm and loyalty.

King Yan's eyes changed and he felt a little moved. He was really troubled by something at this time, and the reason came from those two subordinates, or to be more precise, it was the news brought by these two men.

These two people were sent by King Yan to contact the bribed Confucian scholars in an attempt to add fuel to the flames and tarnish Qiu Yan's reputation.

The two of them had learned about Qiu Yan's chess game with others before, so they immediately approached him. After understanding the cause of the matter, they first observed the situation and secretly planned to wait until the situation was not conducive to Qiu Yan, so that several of their sides could The famous Confucian scholar followed the uproar and launched a plan to criticize Qiu Yan.

People in this world are easily influenced by the people around them and have a herd mentality. As long as they are used properly, Qiu Yan can't even think about getting better.

But in the end, because the two of them were waiting and watching, they lost the opportunity, and the situation became increasingly out of control——

At the beginning, Gao Song, the flagship figure of Chongli Academy, came forward to play chess with Qiu Yan. This fashionable figure showed that many Confucian scholars were dissatisfied with Qiu Yan's reputation and often had the idea of ​​​​adding insult to injury. They did not need to be incited to harbor feelings for Qiu Yan. Hostile.

These scholars were all in their prime, and they dared to come to Dongdu and enter Wenxuan Tower. Of course they were unwilling to be ordinary people. They didn't see Qiu Yan being the only one to dominate, so they subconsciously regarded Qiu Yan as a competitor.

However, as Gao Song surrendered, the situation gradually changed and became more and more strange. After Gao Song surrendered, he changed his previous attitude and showed a heartfelt attitude towards Qiu Yan, which was quite unpleasant, which aroused the surname Hu. The man and others went out to fight one after another.

However, the subsequent development was even more unexpected. After a few games of chess, no one who played against Qiu Yan could win. That was all. Each and every one of them, like Gao Song, started to admire Qiu Yan. in every possible way!

Just one or two, but all the Confucian scholars who came forward actually changed their attitudes, which forced everyone else to think about it.

Originally, those who dare to stand out at this time are either famous or outstanding, and last but not least, they are also people who have confidence in themselves. Such people are generally determined and to a certain extent, they can be called the best in all lives. The weather vane represents the will and tendency of the crowd.

As the attitude of Gao Song and others changed, the atmosphere in the crowd inevitably changed. From being unwilling to accept Qiu Yan, they gradually developed awe.

This kind of awe is not respect for Qiu Yan's literary thoughts, but the instinctive fear and fear of the unknown. After all, the situation of using a chess game to change people's hearts is particularly weird in the eyes of others.

Under such circumstances, fewer and fewer people were willing to sit down and play chess, and those who dared to come forward became more and more distinguished. After ten games, almost all the prominent figures in the younger generation of Dongdu literary circles were equal to Qiu Yan talked for a while, and the result was that the crowd became quieter and the atmosphere gradually became depressed.

This time, although he was forced by the situation, Qiu Yan dared to challenge everyone, and finally persisted and convinced many opponents. Such a thing has gained momentum and authority, enough to be included in the biography, how can anyone dare to contempt?

Seeing that the situation was not good, King Yan's two subordinates were decisive and immediately sent out a Confucian scholar who had contact with them, hoping to reverse the situation and lead the atmosphere. However, they waited until the Confucian scholar gave up in the middle of the game and bowed to Qiu Yan respectfully. At this time, the two finally realized that the situation was over.

Although they didn't know the reason, they were good at observing words and expressions. As soon as they noticed the awe on the faces of the people around them, they understood that there was no chance. Not to mention that the remaining Confucian scholars were unwilling to come forward. Even if they were willing, the two of them would Not optimistic - these two people were also shocked by Qiu Yan's actions, and they were already retreating.

To conquer the enemy without fighting.

"Let me tell you what's good about you? It's enough to say that Qiu Yan has superb cultivation and is unbeatable. I can also understand that he has extraordinary literary talent and is unmatched by others. But now you tell me that Qiu Yan is just playing chess. Just suppress the bunch of rubbish outside! Calm down the situation!"

After hearing the report, King Yan was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. He had been holding back a lot of anger and just wanted to vent. In order to take revenge, he even went to Wenxuan Building bravely, but in exchange he got such a As a result, how can we let go?

You know, King Yan originally gathered his literary thoughts with the intention of entering the scholarly forest, causing a stir, establishing power, and cultivating righteousness. But now it has backfired, and he still wants to come to the Wenxuan Building to listen to people's comments on the articles in the scholarly forest. It is simply ridiculous. An insult.

However, there was a warning from Yang Ying in front of him, and the Jinwu Sect behind him lost contact again. Even the spirit of the Jinwu Taoist was gone forever, leaving only a physical body, with a faint tendency to sit down.

All these things made King Yan feel uncomfortable, but he had to give up his extraordinary power and turn to humane actions. But now it seems that the humane way is not going well either. Qiu Yan is no longer an unknown person in the realm of Dongdu. If he doesn't Qiu Yan's reputation has been tarnished. Even if he is a prince, he should not go too far in some things. His actions may even attract more attention. If he is not careful, he will be impeached.

These thoughts were blocked in their hearts and turned into anger, which was vented by King Yan on his two subordinates. They lowered their heads and listened, not daring to refute or defend. They just looked at King Yan's increasingly angry look and couldn't help but be afraid. I feel that it is difficult to be kind, and I am afraid that I will suffer the disaster of fish in the pond.

Fortunately, at this time, Dolu knocked on the door and came in, which temporarily relieved the two of them.

The origin and background of this Duolu are extraordinary. He does not have many scruples when doing things in the Central Plains. King Yan is interested in making friends with him. He borrowed his help to carry out a major case a few days ago. If he encounters him again now, he will immediately I had the idea of ​​diverting trouble to the east.

"Although I can no longer use magical powers to deal with Qiu Yan, I can use this Duolu to let the two fight..."

But his idea was stillborn before it was perfected. He was shaken by Dolu's next words, and the forced smile froze on his face.

"To be honest, a certain family has something to ask for. I hope Brother Li can recommend Mr. Qiu Yanqiu. I just watched him play chess below. Although I don't know the subtleties, I know it is not trivial. I heard that he once defeated Jiangnan Talent He Shu He is a man of great talent, and a certain family is willing to hold a banquet in Baiyu Tower and ask Mr. Qiu for advice in person, and also asks Brother Li to grant his permission. "

As he spoke, Duolu solemnly bowed to King Yan. When he spoke, his face was full of admiration. When he mentioned Qiu Yan's name, he even showed respect, which made him particularly respectful. This look , clearly showing that he was impressed by Qiu Yan.

As soon as he finished speaking, Duolu noticed that King Yan looked wrong and couldn't help but ask: "Huh? Is there any difficulty?" Then he lowered his voice and said sincerely: "Brother Li, when a certain family helped you earlier, I once said that I hope you can recommend a great talent from the Central Plains. If you can help me get what I want, I will definitely do my best if I need it in the future."

The political value contained in these words was captured by King Yan, and he couldn't help but feel moved. However, thinking about his relationship with Qiu Yan, he secretly smiled bitterly.

"For what happened before, I owe this grassland man a favor. If I don't admit it, I'm afraid I will turn against you immediately. Then the trouble will break out. I don't know how much trouble it will cause. It's just that Qiu Yan bullied me and humiliated me. I already It’s hard to make a move, why should I introduce him now? It’s simply unreasonable! How can I make him get what he wants?”

King Yan forced a smile on his face and was about to say something to comfort Duolu, when the entire Wenxuan Building suddenly trembled slightly, and the thoughts all around began to boil, and it could be clearly felt even in the room.

"What's going on?" King Yan only had a slight feeling, but Naduolu's heart beat fiercely and he had a premonition.

At this moment, the window on the south side was suddenly pushed open, and Yang Ying jumped in. His body was in tatters. As soon as he landed, he ignored the surprised eyes of the people in the room and looked up at King Yan. , grinned: "Brother Li, this proposal from Brother Duolu is quite interesting. I think you'd better agree."

When these words reached King Yan's ears, the latter's already surprised face suddenly became clouded, and his expression became extremely ugly.

………………

"What's going on with this raging literary thought?"

Not only Duolu and others felt the changes in Wen Si, but many Confucian scholars downstairs were also doubtful.

At this time, there was no one to challenge him. Instead, several people led by Gao Song were asking Qiu Yan for advice from sages. Qiu Yan did not hide his secrets, but spoke out his insights one by one.

The previous game of chess had benefited Gao Song and others a lot, and now asking for advice directly solidified their understanding. The joy brought by the advancement of knowledge filled the hearts of several people, and it showed on their brows. Their attitude became more and more respectful, like a disciple serving a teacher. .

Qiu Yan didn't care about this. In fact, he gained more from a few people.

The people who played chess with him had different results. Everyone had different insights because of their own learning. It was difficult for them to communicate with each other. It was like a few people got a secret book of exercises from Qiu Yan. But each one is incomplete, and the derivative techniques eventually developed are naturally different.

In contrast, Qiu Yan gathered what several people had learned, studied it intensively, integrated the spirit of several saints, and transformed it into his own thoughts.

Suddenly, his mind moved.

"Oh? The fluctuation of literary thoughts seems to be related to my article. It's just that the luck has been exhausted, which is not good. It's time to accumulate this body and pour it into talisman seals, and at the same time reverse the luck..." (To be continued.
