The next day, Feng Tang Xiuji quietly left Taoliu Lane, as if it had evaporated in an instant, and there was no news in Luoyang City.

For this reason, Lu Yao was still annoyed, blaming me and Master Gou for not telling him, probably because he felt that he had been stung by a bee in vain, and he lost the face of the little demon in Luoyang, and he was unwilling.

I didn't make any pale explanations because I felt innocent, but learned from Zhang Mazi to go out early and return late, even if I can't make my cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, it's always good to have my ears clear for a while.

Looking at Zhang Mazi from this point again, I think his habit of returning day and night is not necessarily good, at least wise.

Since my cultivation has been promoted to the second breath, my perception level has finally improved a lot, and I am faintly aware that the true spirit surging existence in Zhang Mazi's body has improved rapidly, according to his amazing speed, by this time next year, he will have the strength to compete with Liang Po.

Living with these demons in Taoliu Lane, I was forced out of my inferiority complex, no wonder Master Dog persuaded me to make friends with Zheng Beiyou, it seems that I am still suitable to move forward silently in the circle of literati.

In fact, I did take this step, and when I really didn't know how to gain a foothold in Luoyang City and how to increase my hole cards, I still went to the Phantom Sword Book League.

At this time, the Phantom Sword Book League was held accountable by the imperial court in the Guogong Mansion, and people had already gone to the pavilion, and there were only a few people in the huge Book Alliance.

I guess these people should be mostly young juniors in the mansion of Zheng Guogong's protégé, who are similar in age to me, and not surprisingly are also upright and upright people.

My appearance made Zhibeiyou excited, but also a little incredulous, he laughed and went out, happily walking down the steps barefoot, without the slightest regard for his own image, quite a little reverent of Corporal Zhou Gonglixian.

I was a little flattered and rushed back the gift.

"At present, Luoyang students can't avoid the Guogong Mansion and the Book League, and the only one who dares to come to the door during this time is you, Xu Gongzi!"

Zheng Beiyou laughed heartily, and it could be seen that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing this, the others in the book group also stepped forward one after another, and when they looked at me with curious eyes, I was even a little nervous, obviously they didn't expect me to come to the door at this time.

Especially when I was the night of the Luohe Poetry Club, Zheng Beiyou was humiliated, and the dog who lived in the same courtyard as me also foiled Zheng Taibai not long ago, and a series of dealings were all aimed at the Guogong Mansion, at this time Zheng Beiyou excitedly forgot to put on his shoes, and behaved like this, unpretentious, obviously beyond their cognition and understanding of Zheng Beiyou.

At the same time, it also highlights the weight of my heart in Zheng Beiyou!

I know in my heart that Zheng Beiyou gave me this face today, I am incompetent and can't refuse anything, and I can't refuse.

"Where is Xu Gongzi, if everyone who reads tends to be inflammatory, how can he be worthy of calling himself a scholar!"

The Great Zhou Dynasty was weak and strong, only the literati were still the same, and it was strange to say that the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered the biggest crisis in three hundred years, and when facing the barbarian invasion of the east, the main battle faction was mostly civil ministers, and the persuasion faction was mostly military generals, which shows that the arrogance of the literati is not reflected in the mouth, but more is put into practice, otherwise Dong Rufeng would not abandon literature and martial arts, and said "Rather be a centurion, than a scholar".

"In ancient times, Mr. Qiliu didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and now there is Xu Gongzi who has joined the book league regardless of his safety, you are a friend, and I Zheng Beiyou have made up my mind!"

"You friend, we've made it too!"

"Yes, a scholar like you is worthy of our fellowship!"

At this time, some people reacted from Zheng Beiyou's words, and their emotions were even a little excited.

"Presumably you are the Xu Gongzi who made a splash in the Luohe Poetry Club, look up to it for a long time!"

"No wonder I have a good temperament, it turns out that you are the talented Xu Gongzi, I am fortunate to have a glimpse of the style, it is really an honor."

“……”

Everyone stepped forward to salute me, the atmosphere was solemn, the attitude was sincere, so that I was a little flattered by the insults and blows I had been subjected to.

Scholars, what they admire most is not the rich son and the princely nobles, they value the talent of the student the most, of course, if the student has both talent and character, it is a good partner.

Ordered someone to close the front door of the book league and insert the latch, Zheng Beiyou pulled me into the lobby of the book league, and then regarded me as a guest, arranged to sit down, and specially served me a cup of hot tea.

The others were all happy and polite to me, and their eyes were full of respect.

It can be seen that these scholars have good families and conduct, and judging from the calmness and confidence on their faces, the level of knowledge should be good.

After I sat down, I didn't hide it, and said directly: "I don't know if Zheng Gongzi is still accepting guests from the Phantom Sword Book Alliance?" ”

As a guest, I really don't dare to be a guest, my strength is not good, and I have no fame, which is not in line with the rules anywhere, so I position myself as a doorman.

I asked Zheng Beiyou if he accepted customers, but he didn't mention whether he had this idea or not, it all depended on his attitude.

"May I ask if it's Xu Gongzi himself, or is it?" Zheng Beiyou is really cautious, and his head is also very active.

"It's down there!" I didn't hide it at all, and said with full sincerity: "In order to show his cultivation, Master Dog returned to the peak of the Dapan Realm to fight with Zheng Taibai, causing the guards of the study building to slack off and being exploited, and he was a little reluctant to do so...... I would also like to take this opportunity to ease the relationship. ”

"Furthermore, I have formed a bond with the Divine General's Mansion, although it has not reached the point of incompatibility, but with my current situation in Luoyang, I really need a shelter."

Everyone looked at me in amazement, probably because they were used to seeing how people get along with each other in disguise, and rarely saw a pure person like me, who did not hide any complicated thoughts in his heart, and was honest to the point of unreserved.

I'm not flaunting my openness with this, it's true that I don't need to stand up in front of Zheng Beiyou at all, and I personally think there's nothing wrong with being honest.

"That's why I'm here today to ask for a guest seat, because of my hypocrisy and selfishness, and I also have the idea of sincere fellowship with Zheng Gongzi and all of you."

To paraphrase the proverb, it is multiple friends and multiple roads, so as not to leave your life path at home.

Zheng Beiyou's face was incredible, he probably didn't expect that when the Phantom Sword Book League was at its peak, his kind invitation was politely rejected by me, and now the Guogong Mansion is in turmoil, and the Phantom Sword Book League is almost shattered and no longer exists, but it makes me favor, and I personally came to join, this reverse operation made Zheng Beiyou happy, but also a little confused.

Obviously, my heart-wrenching words are also intriguing, otherwise the other people present would not have looked at Zheng Beiyou frequently, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Zheng Beiyou was stunned, and after a long time, his face regained his calm, and his face was immediately covered with a smile.

"Xu Gongzi dared to say this, and he was willing to join us at such a time, which shows that Your Excellency is thoughtful." Zheng Beiyou pondered a little, and the answer he gave me was a little surprising: "With the talent of Xu Gongzi, he should be the secretary, and it is a bit overkill to be a guest committee." ”

I was flattered, not that Zheng Beiyou didn't mind my thoughts and intentions to join the Phantom Sword Book Alliance, but the speed and attitude of his response, not thoughtful, but not mindful, and even directly agreed.

"According to the rules, I am not qualified to be a guest secretary in terms of reason and reason, and when I and the crown complete the township test next year, it is not too late for the Phantom Sword Book Alliance to give me the treatment of a guest secretary."

I'm not polite, but I just have one thing to say, it's better to talk to smart people and do things straightforwardly, because only in this way will everyone get along without getting tired, and they won't hold grudges when they part ways.

I expressed my intentions, and also aimed to show that the volume of "The Beauty of the Mountains and Rivers" stolen from Qingfeng Mingyue Tower has nothing to do with us, and secondly, in terms of attitude towards the Shenjiang Mansion, I and the Shenjiang Mansion are absolute opposites, and the performance of the poetry meeting that night, as well as the various provocative behaviors of Wang Gongwang before being driven out of Luoyang, are all strong evidence that I seek other refuge and have a grudge with the Shenjiang Mansion.

Thinking of this, I deeply feel that the circle of the Eastern Capital is not easy to mix, and the slightest carelessness will be shattered, but fortunately, Zheng Guogong has a huge influence, and the heritage of the Guogong Mansion is enough to support the reputation of Confucianism and Taoism in the entire dynasty.

In the final analysis, today's Guogong Mansion has been deeply infiltrated into the country, and it cannot be said that it is impossible to be shaken, but the scholars and literati as a dynasty can not be ignored, and they need to be won over by the Confucian and Taoist scholars.

In the final analysis, the military energy chaos of the country, after all, the need for the governance of Wenchen, thousands of years, the change of countless dynasties, in the end, is not the theory of Confucianism and Taoism to create a prosperous world, even our more than 300 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty is no exception!

"The Phantom Sword Book Alliance is personally determined by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and I am the custodian, since I agree to Brother Xu's entry into the alliance, I only need to report to His Highness."

From the title of "Xu Gongzi" to "Brother Xu", I was still a little uncomfortable for a while, and the noble kings and grandsons were commensurate with the brothers, no matter how I looked at it, I was high.

Fortunately, these people don't despise me because of my identity as a cloth cloth, and they don't care if I have merit or not, and they regard me as a brother in the alliance, I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy and belonging to this title, no wonder there are many protégés and former officials of the Zheng family, buying the hearts of the world's scholars and literati, and the old and young masters of the Guogong Mansion seem to be good hands.

In order to reassure me, Zheng Beiyou immediately solemnly promised: "Brother Xu, although rest assured, with the background of the current prince, the Divine General's Mansion will not embarrass you, even if there is no support from His Royal Highness for the Shumeng, the Guogong Mansion still has some weight in this eastern capital." ”

Zheng Bei lobbied, and the others echoed: "Brother Zheng is the backbone of our book alliance, and he handles all major affairs, although Brother Xu can rest assured, in the future, we will have the opportunity to exert our strength and implement our ideals and ambitions!" ”
