Chapter 58: Let's make a bet with everyone
Jiang Zhong would never have expected that the jade axe formation of Chen Tong, one of the three great families of the Terran race, had just broken out over there, and this side had entered the Fan Cage Formation of Fang Xu, one of the three great families of the Terran race, and it was quite helpless to think about it.
"Fang everyone's erasure of 'return to nature', don't you let the late life return to nature?"
Jiang Zhong threw the manuscript of the poem on the table and tilted his head slightly to look at Fang and the others.
Fang Xu sleeved his hands and said: "All the students in the world who are preparing for the exam are studying diligently day and night, and at this moment, your 'nature' is in the book of sages." ”
Jiang Zhong smiled bitterly and asked, "Is everyone Fang trapped me here by order?"
Fang Xu also laughed, waved his sleeves and swept across the stone house, and said: "The reason why I chose to live here is to be able to concentrate on my studies and spend my days smoothly, without paying attention to any will, not having to care about any official documents, let alone rushing to any banquet, and His Majesty the Emperor must have seen that I was old, and married my only daughter to Taihua City, but I have never felt sorry for me, so it is my own will that I trap you." ”
Jiang Zhong said: "So, everyone Fang already knows about Chen Guo's invasion of Liang?"
Fang Xu frowned and asked, "You also know?"
Jiang Zhong sighed and nodded, he probably guessed the Fang family's intention to keep him now, it was nothing more than that he didn't want him to risk his life, maybe because of this, Yuyue Wen Gu and Golden Martial Spirit didn't warn in advance, and they didn't react until the Fan Cage Array was launched.
Fang Xu reminded: "But Prince Zhong, you are from Jiang after all. ”
Jiang Zhong sneered, suddenly shook his head to relieve his emotions, returned to calm, and seemed to say to himself: "I crossed the capital for no reason, but I hope that Luzhou is my hometown." ”
Fang everyone's face was slightly condensed, and then he was relieved, and said: "I know, Concubine Han Niangniang of Lingtang is from Liang Guo. ”
Jiang Zhong didn't want to bring up the old matter again, so he changed the topic and asked, "Everyone Fang trapped me here, what are you going to do in the future? Could it be that everyone Fang wants to come forward in person to let His Majesty Emperor Jiang recognize me?"
Fang Xu said: "According to what I mean, what Taifu, what Seven Princes, what Chen Guo invaded Liang, you don't have to pay attention to it, with your intelligence, once you put all your thoughts on Wendao, it will be difficult to achieve it in the future." ”
"But what?"
Fang Xu glanced at Jiang Zhong and said, "However, you won't agree." ”
Jiang Zhong said with a smile: "Don't bluff me, since you don't say anything, just let me guess it myself." ”
Fang Xu looked at Jiang Zhong with interest.
Jiang Zhong thought for a while and said, "In the eyes of everyone Fang, I'm afraid there are not many things that can be compared to those who specialize in literature and Taoism. ”
Fang Xu shook his head: "Not much." ”
Jiang Zhong said: "Guardian of the stability of the human race can be counted as one, right?"
"Hmm. ”
Jiang Zhong stretched out his right index finger and confirmed, "This one has passed." Second, although everyone Fang may not agree with Jiang Guo sitting back and watching Chen Guo invade Liang, but after thinking about it, there is no need to strongly oppose it, after all, Liang State is weak and has insufficient weight in the Anti-Demon Alliance, and if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. ”
Fang Xu was dissatisfied: "You think of me so narrowly and selfishly. ”
Jiang Zhong hurriedly said: "Everyone Fang listened to what I said, everyone finally agreed with His Majesty Emperor Jiang's strategy of being a fisherman, it is to focus on the overall situation, imagine that the human race has been poor and weak over the years, and in the confrontation with the demon race, it has become increasingly inferior, what is the reason? Fang is talented, knowledgeable, and wealthy, and when studying heaven and man, the changes of the past and the present are ......"
Fang Xu snorted with a smile.
Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "That's smooth," and continued: "Therefore, everyone can naturally see that there will be a decisive battle between the human race and the demon race in the future, and if the human race wants to gain the upper hand in this decisive battle, it must all work together as one, so how can we do this?"
There was a technical pause, and then the answer was pointed: "It lies in unity, the true unity of the human race." ”
Fang Xu asked, "Even so, what does this have to do with Chen Guo's invasion of Liang?"
Jiang Zhong said: "Naturally, it is very related, because everyone hopes that this 'great unification' will be completed by Jiang Guo, and now Jiang Guo is already the strongest of the ten countries, after Chen Liang fights, regardless of victory or defeat, the two countries will be damaged, and Jiang Guo, who has not worked hard, can take the opportunity to further strengthen its own strength and make full preparations for the future unification of the world." ”
Fang Xu said: "I really had this kind of thought, what does it have to do with me trapping you here?"
Jiang Zhong was a little embarrassed, and said: "Of course, everyone Fang will not come forward to let Emperor Jiang recognize me, but everyone Fang can recommend me to Prince Yutang of Jiang Country like he did when he launched Master Gu, and I dare to guess that the reason why everyone Fang is trapped here is so that after I finish my studies, I will assist Prince Yutang to complete the great cause of unifying the world, and then assist him in fighting the demon clan, I don't know if I guessed correctly or not?"
Fang Xu's expression became serious, and he had to re-evaluate the young man in front of him, just relying on the three words and two words he had talked to, he actually went to Haiti to guess his thoughts, and this kind of speculating on people's hearts is really not simple. Not long ago, in a conversation with Zhuge Xingchen, the other party made it clear that he wanted to push Prince Zhong to the throne and eventually achieve the throne of the Terran emperor, Fang Xu actually did not agree with this, and at that time he bluntly said that "although the Terran is prosperous, the old man has another opinion", this "other opinion" is exactly what Jiang Zhong said: rebel and persuade Jiang Zhong to assist Prince Yutang.
Fang Xu said: "In terms of the current situation, isn't this the best policy?"
Jiang Zhong shook his head disapprovingly and asked, "Why is Liang Guo innocent?"
Fang Xu asked rhetorically: "Qin unifies the six countries, why are the six countries innocent?"
Jiang Zhongdao: "Haven't you heard the story of the poor dagger and the iron spine thrown by Bo Langsha?"
Fang Xu smiled disapprecitatively: "Will Prince Zhong also have this opinion? Then the old man asks you, how many people will be involved in such a confrontation between the human and demon races, year after year? When will it come to an end? If the demon clan breaks through the defense line of the human race alliance and waives its army through the Hangu Pass, what kind of fate will the human race face? The old man does not believe that Prince Zhong has not thought about these questions. ”
Jiang Zhong pondered for a long time, nodded first, and said: "What everyone Fang said is right, if you want to completely solve the threat of the demon race, the human race must be unified, but have you ever thought that once a large-scale war breaks out in the human race, the demon race will have a chance to take advantage of it?
Fang Xu looked at Jiang Zhong, hesitated slightly, and said, "Liang Guo is a small country after all. ”
"Aren't the Terran Alliances all small countries except for the three kingdoms of Jin, Chen, and Jiang? Today the Chen State can invade Liang, and tomorrow the Jiang State can destroy Wu, how does this make those small countries feel? Once suspicion begins to appear within the Alliance, how can we ensure that this line of defense can be impregnable? And how can we ensure that the Ten Nations Alliance, which is already not united enough, can once again withstand the instigation of the demons with ulterior motives?"
"According to Prince Zhong's meaning, doesn't this human race need to be unified?"
"Of course not. The general trend of the world was originally a matter of time and the unification of the human race was a matter of time, but now is by no means the best time. ”
"When is the best time?"
Jiang Zhong turned his head to look out the window, only to see the moon shadow and the bamboo forest lonely, and said indifferently: "When the demon clan suffered a heavy blow." ”
Fang Xu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "The demon clan has been hit hard?"
"Exactly. Jiang Zhong retracted his gaze, looked at Fang Xu, and said: "For so many years, the human and demon races have faced each other, the human race has always been on the defensive, and has never taken the initiative to attack the demon race. ”
Fang Xu was speechless for a while, for hundreds of years, the Terran anti-demon race has always adopted a defensive strategy that does not change in response to all changes, no one has ever mentioned taking the initiative to attack the demon race, that kind of idea is too terrifying, too dangerous, and too whimsical, it is impossible for people who know a little about the actual situation of the two races to hold this ridiculous idea, and at this time, Jiang Zhong said casually, Fang Xu was really taken aback, and it seemed that a small door was suddenly opened in the cognitive world.
At this moment, Li Ruoyu came over, and Fang Xu asked him: "Ruoyu, have you ever thought that the human race would take the initiative to send troops to attack the demon race?"
Li Ruoyu shook his head and said with a smile: "The student thinks that Prince Zhong said this to persuade the teacher to let him out of the Fan Cage Formation. ”
Jiang Zhong let out an "ah", looked at the wise Ruoyu Ruoyu, smiled bitterly, and said: "Even if you think what I said is unreasonable, you should also realize the sincerity that I can't bear to be destroyed by Liang Guo for Chen Guo." ”
Li Ruoyu said: "The right prince knows the reason, and at this time, the prince will be moved with affection." ”
Jiang Zhong looked up at Li Ruoyu with an expression of "I will definitely not kill you if you come over", Li Ruoyu smiled and arched his hand towards him.
Fang Xu also laughed and said, "I was almost deceived by him." Then he reached out and nodded Jiang Zhong.
Jiang Zhong couldn't help but glared at the master and apprentice, picked up the poem manuscript of "Returning to the Garden and Pastoral Home" again, and said leisurely: "Chen Tong's jade axe array can't trap me, everyone thinks this fan cage array can trap me?"
Fang Xu said: "Prince Zhong's jade axe formation is borrowed from the great power of the Invitation Moon, and with your cultivation at this time, I am afraid it will not be broken." As for my Fan Cage Array, it is made of the ancient great sages and Confucian poems, although I may not dare to say that it must be stronger than the Jade Axe Array, but it also has its own uniqueness, and I didn't intend to hurt Prince Zhong, my intentions are right, and I am not worried that Prince Zhong can break this formation. ”
As soon as Fang Xu's words fell, Jiang Zhong continued: "In this case, everyone Fang is willing to make a bet with me, and bet on whether I can break this formation." ”
"How to gamble?"
"If I can't break your Fan Cage Array, I am willing to study hard in this stone house for two years according to the wishes of everyone Fang, concentrate on preparing for the exam, and after the title of the gold list, I will return to Jiang Guo to assist Prince Yutang. ”
"What if you break it?"
"If I break it, everyone must ensure that I return to Liang safely with the Liang State Mission, and Emperor Jiang must not stop me. ”
Li Ruoyu shook his head and said, "Prince Zhong, this formation can't even be broken by the Western Emperor back then, how can you break it?"
Jiang Zhong said: "Since this is the case, then why not gamble?" said and looked at Li Ruoyu and said: "Brother Ruoyu, you can also participate in the gambling, if I can break the formation, how about you go to Liang Country with me?"
Li Ruoyu said: "If the teacher agrees, how dare you disobey?"
Jiang Zhong looked at Fang Xu again, and Fang Xu said in his heart: "He has just broken Chen Gongda's jade axe array, and his momentum is flourishing, it is inevitable that he will have some arrogant thoughts, so I will take this opportunity to beat him." Just as he was about to answer, he heard Jiang Zhong say: "Wansheng really wants to know whether Chen Tong's formation is stronger, or Fang's formation is stronger?"
Fang Xu smiled helplessly: "Prince Zhong doesn't need to provoke the old man, the old man will promise you." ”
