A few months ago, after Jiang Zhong fell into the Shangdu Canal by the power of Jiang Hongdie's Soul Leaving Little Meteor Hammer, there was a scene of dark clouds covering the moon, when Zhuge Xingchen was standing on the stargazing platform, he also knew that his disciple who had closed the door was killing his brother and doing a reverse move, but even if he watched the stars in the sky, he could not connect the corner of the night with the emperor's destiny at that time.

It wasn't until Chen Tong trapped Jiang Zhong with a large array of jade axes turned into a literary atmosphere, and the clouds and moon disappeared in the sky again, and the Zhuge Pavilion Lord finally had a flash of inspiration, connecting various visions such as Qixi Starlight, Bright Moon and Dark Clouds before and after, and the truth was about to come out.

"The dragon among the people, the dust. Heaven is unified, pay real people. ”

"The dragon among the people" is not an allusion, it is the name of the seventh prince Jiang Zhong, and it is the same as his pseudonym "Chen Renzhong", he is the "real person" who rules the world.

Even as the master of the Xingchen Pavilion and the most powerful national teacher of the human race, after Zhuge Xingchen unlocked this prophecy, he was still uneasy and excited, and after sending away his apprentice Jiang Hongdie, he immediately rushed to the stone courtyard outside Chang'an City.

Looking at the entire Jiang country, only Fang Xu is qualified to share this earth-shattering opportunity with him.

"The national teacher said that he wanted my help with something, I don't know what the matter is?"

Fang Xu, as the head of the three great families of the human race, gradually got a glimpse of the way of heaven and man, and everything did not linger, and the slightest mood fluctuation that first glimpsed the heavenly machine quickly calmed down, looked at Zhuge Xingchen and asked.

Zhuge Xingchen said: "Zhuge implores everyone to leave the Chen people of Liang Guo in Jiang Guo. ”

Fang Xu nodded and said, "He is the prince of Jiang, it is natural to stay in Jiang country, what else does the national teacher mean?"

Zhuge Xingchen said: "One night watching the sky, I found that the south was abnormal, and the heavenly hell suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, these two signs indicate that the Liang country will be invaded by foreign enemies in a few days, and there will be no peace. ”

Everyone Fang asked: "Now that the human race is allied against demons, they should be united, who dares to risk the disapproval of the world?"

Zhuge Xingchen said: "Fang everyone, haven't you seen that Chen Guodong Palace has been razed to the ground at this time?"

Fang Xu was silent, and said after a while: "In this way, Chen Guo's invasion of Liang has been planned for a long time. ”

Zhuge Xingchen picked up the teacup, took a sip, put the teacup back again, and said: "Chen Guoben is belligerent, and Marshal Tu is in charge, I am afraid that the heart of cutting Liang has long been there, but it is only because of Jiang Guo's containment, and he can't do it for a while, and then Emperor Chen wants to make a 'marriage first, and then annexation' roundabout plan, but at the Luzhou Qixi Poetry Conference, Prince Zhong killed in the air, and Prince Chen returned to China, and then there were rumors of 'Emperor Star'. ”

"Isn't Chen Guo afraid of me Jiang Guo now?"

Zhuge Xingchen sighed: "At the beginning, Jiang Guo couldn't tolerate the seven princes, and now he can't tolerate the talented people who invite the moon with a little star, His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Yutang will not allow the prince of Liang Guo, who has the emperor's star light, to be assisted by such a great sage, and if Liang Guo is destroyed, Jiang Guo's benefits will not be less than that of Chen Guo. ”

Fang Xu said: "Emperor Jiang will sit and watch the snipe and mussels fight." ”

"Therefore, a certain family should ask everyone to keep the seventh prince and not put him in danger. ”

"If he didn't know that Chen Guo was invading Liang, I would have made up a reason to keep him for a year and a half, and if he already knew that Chen Guo was about to use troops against Liang, this matter would be difficult to do. ”

Zhuge Xingchen's eyes were scorching, and he said, "Everyone Fang, no matter what, even if you have to use extraordinary means, please keep Prince Zhong." As soon as Chen Guo opens the Liang War, the Terran Alliance will definitely be shaken, and once the Demon Race moves, the consequences will be unimaginable, since Prince Zhong has already ascended to the Emperor Star, how can my Star Pavilion not help him?"

Fang Xu said: "The national teacher wants to help Prince Zhong win the throne of Jiang Guo?"

Zhuge Xingchen's eyes were deep, and his distant gaze jumped over the stone courtyard, throwing himself into the distance where light and darkness converged, and asked without answering: "Where do you think the root cause of the weakness of the demon race is strong?"

Fang said: "In the hearts of the people, they are not aligned. ”

"Exactly, after the human race was divided into ten, the strength of the demon race became weaker and weaker, and the root cause of it was the disunity of the people's hearts and the disunity of the country. Throughout ancient history, if the human race is to truly avoid the disaster of war and completely solve the trouble of the demon race, the Holy Lord must be born to unify the human race. Now that the opportunity has appeared, it is just adding fuel to the fire, and I hope everyone will learn from it. ”

Fang Xu said: "The pavilion master's mind makes the old man feel ashamed. ”

Zhuge Xingchen hurriedly said: "The Fang family is the sect of the human race's culture, just reading and drinking tea in this stone courtyard, you can deter the demon and demon clans from acting rashly, how can you be ashamed?"

Fang Xu shook his head with a smile, and said: "What the pavilion master invited, the old man agreed, although in the rise of the human race, the old man has other opinions, but Zhuge Pavilion Master has this mind, and the old man must fulfill it no matter what." ”

Zhuge Xingchen bowed down and said, "Zhuge thanked everyone." ”

Fang Xu waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be polite, and then turned his head and instructed Li Ruoyu: "Ruoyu, go and invite Prince Zhong to the courtyard, and have something to say to him for the teacher." ”

After listening to the conversation between the teacher and Zhuge Guoshi, Li Ruoyu was shocked and inexplicable, and his heart turned over for a while, but he didn't hear the teacher call him.

"If you are foolish. Fang Xu called again, and Li Ruoyu came back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "Teacher." ”

"Go and invite Prince Zhong to the courtyard. ”

Li Ruoyu was stunned again, then bowed down and responded "yes", bowed to Zhuge Guoshi, and walked out of the stone courtyard again.

When Li Ruoyu walked to the gate of Chang'an City, he happened to encounter a caravan that was about to leave the city at night, and the guards in front of the gate carefully checked it carefully, and found nothing abnormal, and then the caravan leader forcibly stuffed a bag into his arms, and happily opened the door and let him go.

Li Ruoyu let go of the side, and waited for the caravan to finish before he stepped forward and applied to the Zhonglang general to enter the city: "On the orders of the family teacher, I will invite a guest to enter the city, and ask the general to let me go." ”

That Zhonglang will see that it is a high-ranking disciple of the Fang family, where dare to stop him, he first returned a salute, and then invited Li Ruoyu to enter the city.

......

"Click......

A string of horses' hooves sounded on a side street in Chang'an City, and it was the carriage of the Liang State Mission returning to the mission mansion from Mingyufang.

Jiang Zhong, Fan Baotong, Qingqin Qinghe, who dressed as men, and the three guys from Fan Mansion who came out of nowhere sat in the carriage, while Prince Xuanlin, Yang Jianming, Shaoxia and a Fan Mansion worshipper who went to Mingyufang together were gone.

The carriage had reached the end of the street, and had just turned onto the street where the mission was located, when suddenly a figure stood at the intersection.

"Huh~" The groom grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage, and arched his hand to the man standing under the moon: "Please let this friend get out of the way." ”

The man also bowed his hand to the carriage and said, "Under Li Ruoyu, I specially came to invite Mr. Xiao Chen to come over on the order of the family teacher." ”

The horseman said: "I don't know who the master is, it's so late, and you still want to invite us Mrs. Chen?"

"The master of the old stone house. ”

The horseman has also been staying in Chang'an for many years, so he naturally knows who lives in Wen's old house, and said in a trembling voice: "Fang, Fang, Fang, Fang, everyone wants to see Mrs. Chen?"

Li Ruoyu bowed his head and said, "Exactly." ”

Before the horseman turned around to call someone, Jiang Zhong had already leaned out and arched his hand: "Fang everyone wants to see me?"

"Yes. ”

"Now?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Then he got out of the carriage and turned around and said: "Your Highness, Tong Shao, the moon appreciation banquet will be held later, you will continue as usual, I have many questions to ask everyone Fang, you don't have to wait for me to come back tonight." ”

Fan Bao channel in the car: "Got it." ”

Jiang Zhong followed Li Ruoyu out of the city and rushed out of the city, and when he arrived at the stone courtyard, it was already four drums, Zhuge Xingchen had already left, and only Fang Xu was left in the courtyard, who was making tea himself.

"Late Chen Renzhong met everyone Fang. ”

Jiang Zhong saw Fang Xu and made a big gift to see his teacher.

Fang Xu hurriedly walked over to support Jiang Zhong, his eyes were earnest, and he said softly: "Seventh Prince, I've suffered you these days. ”

Jiang Zhong was surprised, and then he shook his head and said, "Among the Xia Chen people, do you deny the wrong person?"

Fang Xu nodded and said, "It's me who recognized the wrong person, you are Chen Renzhong, yes, Chen Renzhong, come, sit." ”

Jiang Zhong sat on the stone bench where Zhuge Xingchen was sitting, and behaved in accordance with the etiquette of his disciples, restrained and sincere.

Fang Xu asked with a smile: "During the jade cake night banquet, you said that you don't know Chen Gongda, and I don't know if Xiao Chen Gongzi knows the old man." ”

Jiang Zhongdao: "In my later life, I read Fang Yi's "Fang Yi" and "Broken Chapters" by Fang Da, and I benefited a lot. ”

Fang Xu smiled: "Those are all old works from twenty years ago. ”

Jiang Zhong said: "Fang is rigorous in his studies, selfless, and a real Confucian, and he has always admired him in his later years. ”

Fang Xu said: "Xiao Chen Gongzi should not praise the old man again, so as not to get drunk after drinking tea." ”

Jiang Zhong said: "The sentences of the late students come from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone calls them by their names." ”

Fang Xu nodded and said, "However, when the old man is your age among people, his achievements are not as far as yours. ”

Jiang Zhong said: "Just because the master is in front, my generation is lucky, and I have to stand on the shoulders of the master." ”

"It's not easy for you to have such an understanding. ”

"Fang, everyone has won the prize. ”

Fang Xu stretched out his hand to ask for tea, and he also picked up the teacup, scraped the tea with the lid of the cup, and said: "Recently, the old man wrote a pen to annotate "Tao Qianji", many of which are not clear, and no one can justify, it is really distressing. ”

"Although everyone Fang commanded, whoever is able to do his best, he must do his best. ”

Fang Xu said: "The old man hopes that the people can stay in this stone house for two years, and while studying and preparing for the next year, he will help me annotate the "Tao Qianji", I don't know what people like?"

Fang everyone's words are equivalent to their intention to accept apprentices, worshipping Hongru as a teacher is the most coveted glory for all students in the ten countries of the human race, comparable to the title of the gold list, this opportunity was abruptly placed in front of Jiang Zhong at this time.

Jiang Zhong couldn't hide his gratitude and surprise, stood up, bowed again, and said, "Being able to listen to everyone's teachings from time to time is a long-cherished wish of Wansheng, but it's just ...... It's just that Wansheng has something important to do at this time, so he has to return to Daliang on the same day, and I ask for your understanding. ”

Fang Xu didn't feel surprised, and asked, "What is important among people, even more important than Dabi?"

Jiang Zhong shook his head: "This matter is related to the safety of Liang Guo, and it is inconvenient to say it in the evening." ”

Fang Xu said "um", not reluctantly, and said: "In this case, the old man has to think of another idea, but since the people have come to Shilu tonight, you might as well follow the old man into the house to take a look at the first song of the old man's latest annotation of "Returning to the Garden and Pastoral Home". ”

"Yes. ”

Jiang Zhong followed Fang Xu into the stone house, and walked to the bookcase, Fang Xu pointed to the paper manuscript on the table and said, "Look at it." ”

Jiang Zhong picked up the manuscript and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden and Pastoral Home: Part I", and read the original poem first, but when Jiang Zhong read the end of the poem, he suddenly found that this poem was missing a sentence.

The last two sentences of the original poem of "Returning to the Garden and Pastoral Home: Part I" are "After a long time in the cage, you can return to nature", and the poem manuscript in Jiang Zhong's hand only stopped abruptly when it was "long in the cage", which was obviously a missing sentence.

Could it be that everyone Fang was negligent? Impossible, how could everyone Fang make such a low-level mistake, there must be some other reason.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongyuyue trembled suddenly, and hurriedly looked up at Fang everyone, only to see Fang everyone's face unbearable, and said: "The old man has no choice but to set up this small fan cage formation, stay with Prince Zhong for the time being, and ask Prince Zhong not to be surprised." ”
