Fang Yun took the invitation and looked at it, and found that there was nothing special, just like the invitation to the Wenhui he received before, it was obviously not specially arranged by Li Wenying.

Feng Zimo, the prince of the palace on the side, said: "Since Lord Li invited you to go, it must have a deep meaning. ”

Yu Xingshu said: "With my understanding of Master Li, the word 'as much as possible' is not his original intention. If Master Li really wanted you to go, he would directly say that he invited you, and he asked his entourage to say this, I am afraid that he was entrusted by others. ”

Fang Yun said: "Since Lord Li values it so much, let's go and take a look." However, Master Li only said that I would go, not that I should participate in the dragon boat race, right?"

Everyone was stunned, and Feng Zimo smiled: "You are clever." However, the prize of the dragon boat race has always been not small, and it has even become bigger and bigger over the years, so you better participate. ”

"What can I do?"

"In the past, the two countries each came up with a humanistic treasure as a lottery head, and Lord Li added a piece of dragon blood ink this year, so Qingguo naturally did not show weakness, and even took out a "mountain and river chessboard", and shouted that Lord Li was stingy, and asked Yuhai City to take out more treasures as a lottery head. ”

"Mountains and rivers chessboard? Fang Yundao.

The material of the mountain and river chessboard is an extremely rare strange stone in Qingguo, the stripes on the strange stone have the geographical direction of the mountains and rivers, and there is no magical power in itself, but once it is made into a Wenbao chessboard, once the chess game is unfolded, it can turn into a mountain and river to trap the enemy.

Go Wenbao is more special, the chessboard, black and white are each a Wenbao, and the three in one is the complete Go Wenbao, and it is useless to take it out alone.

In the hands of ordinary chess players, a set of Go Wenbao is about the same as the power of an ordinary Wenbao, but in the hands of a master of Go, a set of Go Wenbao can exert several times the power.

It's just that Go, like Danqing and Qinzheng, requires years of study and practice, which will take a lot of time and energy, unless someone is extremely talented in this area, it is better to study the classics of the saints.

Qingguo only produces four or five qualified mountain and river chessboards a year, even if it is refined into Hanlin Wenbao, it is not a waste, and the value is much higher than a dragon's blood ink ingot.

"Are you interested?" Feng Zimo said.

Fang Yundao: "Before I practice calligraphy to the fifth realm, I will not go to the deep study of qin and chess painting, it is okay to try it occasionally after relaxing, the mountains and rivers chessboard is of no great use to me." ”

"Not necessarily. You have already shown Danqing's talent, maybe you will be successful with a little effort in piano and chess, and you will have a good qin and chess treasure in the future, you can't keep it. ”

"Or possibly. Fang Yun didn't say anything to death, mainly because there were too many things in the library, as long as it could enhance the strength of the human race, they could be taken out and used, and maybe it could come in handy.

General Yu said: "The mountains and rivers chessboard are useless, you can exchange it for other useful things, and it is still possible to exchange it for a Jinshi Wenbao." ”

"This month, I want to prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Fang Yun said helplessly, he wanted to climb the book mountain too much, only by winning the heart of the text, his strength would be qualitatively improved, otherwise it would be difficult to be alone before there was no rhetoric.

Yu Xingshu nodded and said, "It's okay." After you enter the Book Mountain, you must strive to move forward, the higher you climb, the greater the benefits of my Jingguo!"

"Oh, I don't know what the benefits are?" Fang Yun asked.

Yu Xingshu glanced at everyone, except for Feng Zimo, the people around him all left in interest.

"After the government examination, the top ten talents in each of the ten countries will enter the Book Mountain, and whichever country's talent climbs the highest book mountain, it represents the prosperity of the country's education, and the Holy House will reward things such as holy pages, longevity fruits, or life fruits. When Xiucai climbed the Book Mountain, it was nothing, and when the people climbed the Book Mountain, it was said that the demi-saints of the Ten Kingdoms would pay attention. Because those who can climb to the heights will inevitably become the pillars of our human race and have great potential. Generally speaking, the four great talents of each generation will emerge when they are lifted to the book mountain, and gradually become famous all over the world. ”

"I see. Fang Yundao.

Yu Xingshu said solemnly: "The Holy Dao is extremely difficult! The human race must fight with the demon barbarians, and people must also fight with each other, and they must fight for the sacred page treasure, so that you will not be killed by the demon barbarian foreign enemies; you must fight for the qualification of the Holy Land, so that you will grow faster than others; and the most important and cruel thing is the battle for the concept of the Holy Dao." For example, your "Three Character Classic" has offended the Xunzi family. ”

"Huh? I see. Fang Yun was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted.

The beginning of the "Three Character Classic" is "At the beginning of man, nature is good", and Yasheng Xunzi is the founder of the "Theory of Sexual Evil", this "Theory of Sexual Evil" does not say that people must be evil and bad, but believes that people are born with an evil side, which is innate.

However, Mencius believes that people are born with compassion, shame, resignation and right and wrong, that is to say, people are good and born good, so they are regarded as the originator of the theory of goodness.

This led to the Antagonism between the Mencius family and the Xunzi family, which lasted for hundreds of years and could not be reconciled to this day.

Xunzi's disciples didn't even accept the idea of Yasheng Mencius, and if they had the opportunity in the future, they would naturally suppress Fang Yun.

Fang Yun also knew that there were also conflicts of ideas within each family, for example, although the Han Fei family and the Li Si family were both Legalists, because Han Feizi and Li Si fought for power, the two families still have a common enmity. Some of the new saints also have personal enmity and national hatred.

Fang Yun sighed lightly, because the Xunzi family was in Qingguo, and Jingguo and Qingguo had always been at odds, so the Xunzi family would naturally spare no effort to suppress him.

Feng Zimo comforted: "The Xunzi family is not strong in my Jingguo, as long as you don't leave Jingguo, they can't do anything about you." ”

"I hope so. Fang Yundao.

Yu Xingshu asked: "If the Xunzi family sends someone to reprimand you, what should you do?

Fang Yun pondered for a moment and replied firmly: "I will neither give in nor escape, my holy path cannot be stopped by anyone!

"Okay!" Yu Xingshu and Feng Zimo looked at each other and smiled.

It was late at night, the three of them didn't talk much, Feng Zimo and a few others left, while Fang Yun's family stayed in General Dinghai's mansion.

Early in the morning, Fang Yun took Yang Yuhuan and the Yu family to have breakfast, then got into an ox cart and went to the mansion prepared for him under the escort of a team of soldiers.

After arriving without incident, the family began to get busy. The state army also let two innocent and experienced veterans be Fang Yun's entourage to protect Fang Yun closely.

The new Fang Mansion is a two-hall courtyard, one less than the previous Dayuan Mansion, but it is enough.

Before lunch, Fang Yun sent Fang Da Niu to buy some high-end gifts for the four treasures of the study, and went to visit Pang Juren's house next door to the right.

In the afternoon, Fang Shouye sent someone to invite Fang Yun to his house for a light meal, since it was his uncle's invitation, Fang Yun had to come.

Before going to Fang Shouye, Fang Yun visited the left neighbor's general Lai Bi, who was extremely enthusiastic and wanted to stay with Fang Yun for dinner, but regrettably stopped keeping him when he learned that Fang Yun was going to Fang Shouye.

Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan took a carriage to the South Vice City, arrived at six o'clock in the evening, and came to the gate of Fang Shouye's General's Mansion.

This place is far inferior to the style of the Fang family in Dayuan Mansion, and it is an ordinary two-entry mansion like Fang Yun's new mansion, without the slightest luxury, but with a kind of military's iron-blooded atmosphere, not so much that this is a residence, but that this is a fortress.

Fang Yun nodded slightly when he saw the porter, and said, "I'm Fang Yun, I'm tired of reporting it." ”

The concierge immediately looked happy, and shouted loudly inside: "Young Master Yun is here!" and then hurriedly asked Fang Yun to come in and lead the way for Fang Yun.

Fang Yun followed and walked inside, and when he entered the courtyard on the second side, he saw four people in civilian clothes but with a military temperament in the main hall coming out to greet him, and behind the four people, there was also a handsome young woman.

Fang Yun only knew Fang Shouye among them, and vaguely guessed that the young woman was Fang Shouye's concubine here.

"Stinky boy, you've been very beautiful lately! Take a flying page empty boat to Yuhai, Lao Tzu doesn't have this treatment!" Fang Shouye punched Fang Yun's shoulder, no strength at all, almost treating Fang Yun as a comrade-in-arms in the army.

"Fang Yun has met uncles and uncles, and he has seen aunts. Fang Yun immediately bowed his hand, but Yang Yuhuan didn't speak, just put his hands on his lower abdomen and bowed slightly.

Fang Shouye and the other four men received the salute from Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan, while that Aunt Fang, like Yang Yuhuan, bowed her knees slightly and did not say a word.

Fang Yun is not used to the elders saluting him, even if the other party is a concubine, he still has not adapted to some concepts of this era, but now he has pressed everything in his heart, but a certain thought in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, and even vaguely feels that it is a huge opportunity, once he grasps it, his future achievements are limitless.

"I'll introduce you!" Fang Shouye put his arm around Fang Yun's shoulders and introduced three people to Fang Yun one by one, his words and deeds were not like a scholar, but full of the masculinity and directness of a soldier, once accepted, it made people feel close.

After they got to know each other, they went into the house to eat and drink together.

Fang Shouye likes to talk and laugh, and talks non-stop, and when the meal is almost over, the three generals leave, and Aunt Fang also called Yang Yuhuan away, saying that she was giving her some jewelry, and only the uncle and nephew were left at the dinner table.

Fang Yun knew that the three of them came here to get to know each other first, and they would not talk deeply, and they would slowly deepen their relationship in the future, and now was the time for the uncle and nephew to talk about business.

Fang Shouye took a deep breath, and the drunkenness in his eyes immediately lessened.

"In Yuhai City, it's safe, but it's not necessarily comfortable. Fang Shouye looked at Fang Yun and said in a deep voice.

"Uncle, please. ”

"Do you know what gossip I've heard?"

Fang Yun shook his head.

"Tong Chengling, have you heard of it?"

"Of course, the squire of the military department, a Hanlin. Fang Yundao.

"His eldest grandson Tong Li is in Yuhai, and he has already said that he must win the first place in Xiucai and become a 'Maocai' in this year's government examination. Fang Shouye looked at Fang Yun.
