Chapter 95 13
After Wen Yan's war letter was delivered, the situation really changed dramatically, and from the next day, Meng Qizhi and Song Yinghai took their most elite disciples to Changfeng Tower. However, they did not give up on Bai Jinyu's side, and still divided more than 100 protégés to continue to compete with Bai Jinyu and Yan Luo.
Thirteen years ago, there were only about 100 participants, and the debate lasted for a whole month. Bai Jinyu estimated that this debate of 500 people would never be able to be resolved quickly, and for some reason, she didn't want to alarm Fengchen, so she proposed to move the location of the debate to the Longfeng Restaurant not far from the Liangyuan Inn.
Therefore, in the entire Luzhou City, five hundred Confucian and Taoist elites, Wen Yan led Cuizhu to deal with more than 300 in Changfeng Building, and Bai Jinyu and Yan Luo to deal with more than 100 in Longfeng Restaurant.
This is a fierce battle, although I knew that it was not easy at the beginning, but I didn't expect the process to be more difficult than expected, if it wasn't for myself to fight, Bai Jinyu couldn't imagine how powerful the Jingzhou Meng clan and Lushan Song clan were.
These two have very strong stamina, they are not only fully prepared, but also each has more than a dozen protégés with quick thinking and solid skills, fortunately, Bai Jinyu agreed with them in advance that they can only fight one-on-one, otherwise they will attack them in groups, and she really can't imagine the effect.
Fortunately, Bai Jinyu used to learn dialectics from Wenyan, mainly to induce the other party to speak more, and find flaws in the other party's words to attack, so the requirements for memorizing the classics are not particularly high. But even so, as time went on, she gradually became invincible.
During these two days, she spent the day dealing with polemics, and the evening reading the classics or summarizing and discussing with Yan Luo. At first, she could still find time to see Fengchen, but with the competition in full swing, she couldn't spare the energy to visit Fengchen anymore.
Fortunately, Xie Yao is a person who can be trusted, and Fengchen is a hundred relieved that he will take care of his daily life.
It's a pity that even with all their hearts, Bai Jinyu and Yan Luo are still gradually falling behind.
After all, with one to ten, although the debate was one-on-one, her arguments and arguments were all under the watchful eyes of everyone, and it was inevitable that the loopholes would be discovered after two or three days.
These protégés are not ordinary people, and they chased and beat Bai Jinyu for their mistakes, and gradually, she also felt more and more difficult to justify herself.
There were several times when she wanted to admit defeat, but when she thought that Wen Yan was still fighting side by side with her in the Changfeng Building two streets away, she would feel a wave of firmness and warmth in her heart, which supported her to readjust herself and continue to deal with the other party.
In the past three days in Luzhou City, there is a lot of tension and excitement, and the most popular thing in the streets and alleys is the news of victory and defeat in the Changfeng Building and the Longfeng Restaurant.
The news in Changfeng Building will also be transmitted to Longfeng Restaurant through the population, compared to here, Wenyan is a little more comfortable there, but judging from the news transmitted, it is also very stale.
The following night was the last time Bai Jinyu felt that he could hold on.
When night fell, the lights were on, and the Longfeng Restaurant was overcrowded, except for the two sides of the debate, the three-story upstairs and downstairs were full of spectators.
After a fierce verbal exchange, Bai Jinyu felt a headache, only to feel that her eyes were full of gray and blue figures that made her dizzy, and her ears were as if she had lost her deafness, and she couldn't hear a word.
Suddenly, there was a loud "plop" sound, which startled Bai Jinyu's ears back, and when he saw it, it was Yan Luo who accidentally fell off the stool.
Immediately, a voice said angrily: "You are asleep!" Did you listen to what I just said?! ”
Yan Luo rubbed his ass and stood up, pulled up the stool again and sat down: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been sleepless for several days, I'm too sleepy, come on, come on, please say it again, okay?" ”
Bai Jinyu felt sorry for herself, Yan Luo was really doing her best to help her, she moved her lips, and just wanted to ask him to stop, there was a whisper in her ear.
"I heard that Changfeng Lou lost a game today."
"Is it, already losing? Is it Wen Shanchang? ”
"That's not it, it's a Liang or something."
This news made Bai Jinyu's heart tighten, and he just wanted to persuade Luo to stop, and swallowed it back alive.
She had agreed with Meng Qizhi and Song Yinghai that those who were defeated here could not challenge Cuizhu, so she had to stop one of them.
Thinking so, she sat down again, and carefully looked at the gray-clothed young man in front of her, who had read the classics of Confucianism and Taoism and had been pestering her for almost an hour.
"To tell you the truth, I can see in Madame's eyes the recognition of what is said below."
This time, the young man took the army of surrender without a fight.
Bai Jinyu straightened his tired and sour back, and still smiled on his face: "Recognition?" I'm just looking at you, how do you know I'm not looking at your flaws? ”
The young man's face suddenly stiffened, he stagnated for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Madam, you have defeated dozens of people in a row in the past few days, and you actually admire it very much." I listened to Madame's words, and I only asked, since Madame thinks that Confucianism and Taoism are not good for the world, then how does Madame think she should use what methods to govern the world? ”
Bai Jinyu was asked!
In the final analysis, what she knows is dialectics, and the essence is to fight against and veto the remarks of others, but the question asked by this young man now is for her to say a set of principles for governing the country and securing the people.
This is no longer a problem that can be solved by dialectic.
To answer this question, it takes a deep thought, a very rich memory of the classics, and a clear mind, which she cannot have now......
She hesitated, her eyes wrinkled with exhaustion, fading gray, and she held her head weakly with her left hand, realizing that the moment of victory might have come.
"Alas," she sighed in a low voice, frustration pervading her body, "since ......"
She just wanted to speak, but suddenly she saw that everyone in front of her looked stunned, and her eyes showed surprise.
Then, the dragon and phoenix restaurant floated up and down the uneven human voice, Bai Jinyu looked left and right, only to see that everyone no longer cared about the battle situation of the debate, they turned their heads to each other, and their eyes seemed to be looking at her.
No, looking behind her.
Bai Jinyu hurriedly turned around,
I saw that the lights of Longfeng Restaurant were like daylight, and in the messy crowd, a bright and quiet figure was standing behind him at some point!
"...... Temple?" Bai Jinyu stood up in surprise, and almost shouted "Your Highness".
Feng Chen stood quietly, his gaze starting from Bai Jinyu, slowly sweeping over Meng Song's protégé, the crowd up and down the hall, and finally fell back to Bai Jinyu.
The bright yellow beam of light in the building inlaid a soft golden light on his silhouette, and he looked at the haggard and tired Bai Jinyu steadily, his eyes were gentle and sympathetic, full of love and pity, and also full of hidden anger.
