He Yanmao looked behind the window railing, glancing at the crowd gathering more and more downstairs with a dead face, and couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart that he was too greedy at the beginning, and did not go to Yecheng to participate in the opening of the imperial court at the same time, otherwise he would not be blocked on the Zunjing Pavilion with Cao Pi at this moment. However, it is too late to be annoyed now, and now there are only two people left in the entire Respect Pavilion, He Yan and Cao Pi, and according to his visual observation, there are no less than 100 soldiers besieging downstairs.

It is not an exaggeration to use the word "siege" to describe the scholars who are blocked downstairs. It must be known that Han Confucianism is not as powerless as the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations. Sword study tours were a common occurrence for many scholars. is also fighting with the eunuch party, the Tai students in the late Han Dynasty dared to draw their swords and go straight to the imperial city, and the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty would only play lip service. Therefore, at this time, the slogan of "Kill Cao Pi, Qing Jun's side" is definitely not just a shout, they are really planning to take the lives of Cao Pi and He Yan with a sword.

And what made He Yan most depressed was that most of these scholars who blocked the door were foreign scholars who came to Longkou to participate in the imperial examination, so he didn't have a chance to go up. However, fortunately, each floor of the Zunjing Pavilion has an independent door, and He Yan and Cao Pi locked the second floor before the rest of the pavilion fled, so that the besieging scholars could not attack the second floor for a while.

Boom! Boom! Boom! As the sound of banging on the door was louder and louder, He Yan couldn't help but shudder, and said with a sad face, "Why hasn't Boyi moved to rescue the soldiers yet!" ＂

Cao Pi didn't pay any attention to He Yan's crying. Although he was named and shouted to kill, the boy's reaction was quite calm. Unlike He Yan, who was full of regret, Cao Pi could neither leave Longkou nor choose his father. But he didn't want to be killed here by the guys downstairs. I saw Cao Pi holding the bookshelf closest to the door and beckoning to He Yan, "Uncle Ping, take a hand." ＂

Seeing this, He Yan immediately stepped forward to help Cao Pi push up the bookshelf. But who knew that they pushed the bookshelf. I heard someone behind the door shouting, "Fetch the torches!" Burn these two thieves! ＂

Cao Pi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He Yan rushed to the window in three steps and two steps, and when he saw that someone really took a fire fold downstairs and lit a torch, this talented man suddenly sat on the floor with his legs limp and collapsed, "It's over!" ＂

At the same time, Cao Pi had two more halberds in his hand in the blink of an eye. He Yan saw Cao Pi brighten up at first glance, and immediately opened his mouth wide and said in astonishment, "Zihuan, Ru Ru is going to kill all the way?!" ＂

"The Pavilion is full of books, and once a fire breaks out, we will die and have no place to bury. Cao Pi didn't care how He Yan reacted. Directly raised his hand and picked open the latch.

There are more than 100 people downstairs! You really think you are possessed by Lu Bu! For a moment, He Yan only felt that his head buzzed and turned into two big. But seeing Cao Pi raise his leg and kick a soldier guarding the door down the stairs, He Yan still pulled out his sword and rushed down with Cao Pi.

I have to admit that the small space of the staircase gives Cao Pi a lot of room to play. Although he is not very old, he has more experience in fighting and killing people than ordinary scholars. What's more, the scholars blocking the door didn't expect that the people inside would dare to come out, and they were immediately killed by Cao Pi and turned over on their backs.

only heard an ouch, and a five-short scholar was deftly knocked to the ground by Cao Pi. He Yan followed closely and put the sword on the other party's neck, and walked all the way out of the gate of the Zunjing Pavilion. The originally noisy crowd outside the pavilion saw that Cao Pi and the two dared to come out of the stairs. He also took a hostage as a shield. There was no sound at once. But that doesn't mean sentient beings will back down. On the contrary, a few swordsmen quickly rushed out of the crowd and surrounded Cao Pi and He Yan in the middle.

"Get out of the way! He Yan waved the long sword around the hostage's neck inwardly, trying to scare away all beings. But the other party didn't eat this set at all, but took a step forward with his sword in unison, narrowing the encirclement again. was so frightened that He Yan subconsciously took a step back.

At this time, Cao Pi never said a word, and saw him pointing with a halberd in front of him, a halberd across his eyebrows, and facing him in the center of the sword array. Like a wolf cub ready to go.

"Stop! A crisp cry broke the tense atmosphere of the scene. Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers with armor rushed in, separating Zhusheng from Cao Pi and others. However, until Cai Ji walked in front of Cao Pi, the young man still maintained a confrontational posture, without the slightest intention of relaxing.

Seeing this, Cai Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not step forward to persuade him. Instead, he turned around directly and shouted at the beings present, "Are you going to do the opposite? ＂

In the face of Cai Ji's stern questioning, most scholars felt cowardice in their hearts. After all, they first came to the Zun Jing Pavilion to look for Cao Pi's bad luck, just out of a moment of righteous indignation. felt that Cao Cao's killing of women and children and imprisoning the Son of Heaven was full of evil, since he could not kill Cao Cao for the time being, he would first settle accounts with his son. But when someone shouted the slogan "Kill Cao Pi, Qingjun side", the atmosphere in the crowd suddenly became fanatical, and even full of murderous intent. It was only at this time that the feelings of Qi Hou who came to everyone calmed down slightly.

But even so, there were still a few scholars who were not to be outdone and argued to Cai Ji, "Qi Hou Mingjian! We are punishing the rebel thief, on the side of the king! ＂

"Rebel thief? Qingjun side? Cai Ji kicked a torch that had been extinguished next to him and sneered, "Use the Burning Zun Scripture Pavilion to punish the rebels, Qingjun's side?" ＂

Cai Ji's rhetorical question was like a sharp sword that directly broke through the "mask" worn by all beings, causing everyone present to bow their heads in shame. It must be known that many of them were originally looking forward to the collection of books in the Zun Jing Pavilion, so they would leave their hometown to study in Longkou. But just a moment ago, they almost lit this famous Shilin Book Pavilion with their own hands. Looking back on it now, it's terrifying.

However, just as all the beings were bowing their heads and reflecting, a few more scholars with blue noses and swollen faces and colorful bodies ran out of the library, and it seemed that they had been repaired by Cao Pi just now. But even if they are so wolf-bèi, the momentum of these people is still far better than that of all the beings present. But seeing that the tall man led by him wiped his nosebleed, he stepped forward and bowed to Cai Ji without humility or arrogance, "Bu Jie, who is in Xiaqinghe." Qi Hou Mingjian, we have no intention of setting fire, and lighting the torch is just to force out the Cao thief. ＂

"Forced out the Cao thief? Cai Ji glanced at the other party noncommittally. No matter how naïve the other party's explanation is, those who dare to report their own family at this time are a little bold after all. So Cai Ji bowed his head and motioned for him to continue.

Seeing that Cai Ji did not continue to pursue the issue of setting fire to the Zun Jing Pavilion, Na Bujie couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly pointed the finger at Cao Pidao. "Cao's father and son killed women and children in front of the hall, and imprisoned the son of heaven in the deep palace. Such perverse actions are comparable to Dong Zhuo, a national thief in the past. The rest of the group hereby implore the Marquis of Qi to obey the edict of the cloth belt, sacrifice the flag of Cao Pi, and raise troops to attack Cao Qingjun's side! ＂

Bu Jie's sonorous words once again caused a commotion among the sentient beings. The corner of Cai Ji's eyes even swept to see Cao Pi standing beside her, trembling faintly. But just based on these few words, these people want to coerce her Cai Ji, which is simply a fool's dream.

"I have never seen the edict, and I don't know whether it is true or false. After that, Cai Ji took out the note given by Guo Jia from his sleeve and showed it to all the beings present, "I only know that Liu Biao has joined forces with the remnants of the Yuan clan to lead 100,000 Xianbei to the south. This is the Yuyang flying pigeon biography, if you don't believe it, you can come forward to take a look. ＂

It turned out that at the same time that Liu Biao dispatched troops to confront Cao Cao on the front line of Wancheng Xinye. Yuan Tan, who was far away in Mobei, had already formed an alliance with Xianbei Budu Genbu to raise troops to the south, and claimed to have an army of 100,000 to the outside world. It's just that because the place where Yuan Tan and others started is remote, the Central Plains has not yet gotten the news. However, Pang Tong used the pigeon to transmit the abnormal movement from the north back to Longkou.

Hearing that there would be 100,000 alien races heading south, there was an uproar among all beings. In particular, some scholars from remote states and counties were even more anxious at this time. No one came forward to verify it, and no one would suspect that Cai Ji was lying. Because these words came from the mouth of Qi Hou. Moreover, because at the end of the Han Dynasty, foreign invasions of foreign races at the border were commonplace. Even in Jing and Yang, which are far away from the outside of the Saiwai, some people named them "Zhengqiang".

Bu Jie saw Cai Ji throwing such a killer move, and hurriedly grabbed Cao Liu Dazhan and forced him to ask. "Qi Hou is here to help Cao ask for Liu? ＂

Cai Ji glanced at the other party and said proudly. "The Lone King is in ruins! ＂

"Respect the king? Bu Jie didn't expect Cai Ji to come up with such a sentence, and couldn't help but be on the spot.

"Respect the Han room, and I will do it. Cai Ji no longer paid attention to Bu Jie, and instead announced to the sentient beings, "Until the authenticity of the edict is clarified, Gu will not participate in the dispute between Cao and Liu." But Lone will not sit idly by and watch Yidi go south! ＂

The term "respecting the king and destroying the Yi" originates from the "respect for the Zhou room" proposed by Qi Huangong, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period. Prohibition of usurpation, prohibition of annexation". At that time, the princes of the Central Plains were busy with internal fighting on the one hand, and suffered from the attacks of Rongdi and other tribes on the other. So Duke Qi Huan, with the assistance of Guan Zhong, played the banner of "respecting the king and conquering the country", attacked Shanrong in the north, attacked Chu in the south, and finally became the overlord of the Central Plains, and was rewarded by Zhou Tianzi. Even Confucius commented afterwards, "Micro Tube Zhong, I am wearing my hair on the left!" ＂

Most of the people present were scholars, and Cai Ji's words were enough to show her position. So the next moment, Cai Ji turned around, patted Cao Pi's stiff shoulder, which was already trembling, and whispered in his ear, "Zihuan, go back to the Hou Mansion with Gu." ＂

Guo Jia and Cui Yan watched from afar as Cai Ji brought Cao Pi's self-esteem out of the Jing Pavilion safely, and the expressions on their faces were different. Guo Jia was full of relieved smiles, while Cui Yan frowned as if he had something else on his mind.

Seeing Cai Ji boarding the carriage, Cui Yan let out a long sigh, turned his head to Guo Jia and smiled bitterly, "Zun Wang Zaoyi never thought that Feng Xiao could effectively imitate Zhong's heart? ＂

"Cui Lao Mo wants to misunderstand. What Jia gave to the Lord before was a report from the Mobei War, not a countermeasure. Guo Jia waved his hand and said kissing.

However, Cui Yan was obviously a little skeptical of Guo Jia's statement, but he asked half-teasingly, "In this way, isn't it a flash of inspiration from the Lord?" ＂

It wasn't a flash of inspiration, but a deliberate plan from the Lord. Guo Jia shook his head and said. Guo Jia is no stranger to Cui Yan's reaction. When Jia Xu first came to Qiying, he also doubted Cai Ji's ability and tried to influence Cai Ji's core decision-making. But after the battle of Cao Cai's marriage, Jia Xu has already realized that Cai Ji is a prince with great ambitions and clear goals. So now Jia Xu only gives advice to Cai Ji in terms of strategy and tactics, and no longer seeks to control Cai Ji. Guo Jia believes that it won't be long before Cui Yan and Tian Feng will understand that Cai Ji is not a prince they can control. Thinking of this, Guo Jia comforted Cui Yan, "It's good that no one died this time." ＂

For Cui Yan, this time the troubles were indeed somewhat unexpected, but it didn't mean that he hadn't heard a little wind beforehand. On the contrary, long before the outbreak of the edict, as a celebrity in Jizhou, he smelled something strange from the letters between his friends. It's just that Cui Yan didn't expect that the scholars of Heshuo would dare to coerce Cai Ji in such a drastic way. What surprised Cui Yan even more was that Cai Ji not only controlled the scene, but also successfully took the opportunity to announce to Shilin her declaration of "respecting the king". Cui Yan believes that after today's riot, Ha Shuo Shilin will not criticize Cai Ji for the Cao Cai Alliance from now on. So after listening to what Guo Jia said at this time, Cui Yan nodded thoughtfully and said, "The Lord is indeed wise and generous. ＂

At this moment, it is not only Cui Yan and Guo Jia who sigh Cai Ji's generosity. Standing not far away and watching Sun Quan, who had been lively for most of the day, saw Cai Ji calmly leaving the Zunjing Pavilion, he was also full of emotion. It is said that Sun Quan should have copied books with Cao Pi and others in the Zunjing Pavilion today, but since Lu Su returned to Eastern Wu, Sun Quan's work and rest have been somewhat chaotic. So when he overslept and hurried to the Zun Jing Pavilion, a large number of scholars who had come to find Cao Pi had already gathered under the Jing Pavilion.

In line with the principle that a gentleman does not stand under danger, Sun Quan did not rush forward, but mixed in the crowd and waited for an opportunity. After all, Sun Quan seems to have met Cao Pi a few times, but he is not very familiar with each other after all. What's more, if Cao Pi is really dead, the Cao Cai alliance will inevitably collapse. At that time, he may be able to fish in the troubled waters of Donglai, and even take Cao Pi's place to reach the Sun Cai Alliance. It's a pity that His Excellency's script did not go all the way according to Sun Quan's thoughts. Cai Ji's timely appearance prevented the fight between Cao Pi and Zhusheng, and also deprived Sun Quan of the opportunity to play in secret.

However, what surprised Sun Quan even more was Cai Ji's treatment of all beings. In Sun Quan's impression, there had been more than one Shilin rally of this scale in Eastern Wu, and each time his eldest brother Sun Ce would suppress it with an extremely strong iron fist, and the case would not be closed at all. At that time, Sun Quan firmly believed that if he sat in the position of the eldest brother, he would choose to slaughter like the eldest brother. Because those in power must not allow anyone below to openly form a party. However, this time, Cai Ji did not use the force that Sun Quan was familiar with to suppress Shizi, but personally came forward to persuade Shizi to accept her idea. Can Cai Anzhen convince people with reason every time? If she can't convince the other party next time, will she raise the butcher knife? At this moment, Sun Quan suddenly felt that his interest in Cai Ji was getting stronger and stronger. (To be continued......)
