The ministers gave Commander Gu an affirmative reply, "Commander Gu rest assured, if nothing happens, the county lord will definitely be able to win the title this time."

For these people, Commander Gu still believed it, and left with Shen Ling's strategy with satisfaction.

Although Shen Ling was reluctant to study and make a name for himself at first, after studying later, he was able to write a strategy that was praised by the ministers like this, which showed that he was a good seedling.

The corners of General Gu's mouth curled, and Emperor Xian was happy.

However, when he walked to the door of Shen Ling's room, he restrained the smile on the corner of his mouth again.

Before the results of Xingzhou's argument came out, he couldn't let Shen Ling find out that he was satisfied with her.

There was a knock on the door, Shen Ling walked over and opened the door, and saw Chief Gu with an expressionless face outside.

"Rest early today, and we'll leave for Xinglin Mountain tomorrow."

Shen Ling bowed, "I see."

After telling Shen Ling, Commander Gu left, Shen Ling closed the door, washed up, and lay on the bed to sleep with his eyes closed.

Shen Ling is still very serious about Xingzhou's decision, since she promised that General Gu would listen to his request during this time, she would not deliberately slack off and not cooperate.

The next day, Shen Ling and Commander Gu ran out of food early and set off.

When the two came to Xinglin Mountain, there were two men dressed as small servants standing on both sides of the road to the mountain at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Ling walked over and was about to go up the mountain, but was stopped by the two little guys.

Chief Leader Gu frowned, "What do you want to do?"

The little servant glanced at General Leader Gu, and then looked at Shen Ling, "We should ask this, what do you want to do?"

Chief Gu's face sank, "What else can I do, of course I'm here to participate in the Xingzhou Discussion."

"You can come in," the little guy who spoke glanced at Shen Ling and said with contempt, "She can't."

Shen Ling knew that there would be some trouble in participating in the discussion as a woman, but she didn't expect the trouble to come so quickly.

She didn't speak, wanting to see what General Gu was going to do.

When the Gu Commander heard that Shen Ling couldn't enter, he immediately became anxious, "Why can't she enter!"

The little guy on the left glanced Shen Ling up and down, "A woman is not good at teaching her husband and children at home, and it is not good to come here to compete with men in talent and learning, it's just not like it!"

The little guy on the right sneered, "Could it be because the Changxing monk is coming, some people want to climb high by relying on their own appearance."

General Leader Gu supervises Shen Ling's study these days, and knows that Shen Ling has spent a lot of effort on this, and he has worked very hard to read at night.

Hearing that the two little guys were humiliating Shen Ling like this, they kicked over angrily and kicked the little guy to the ground with both feet.

"Is it worthy of you to say so?"

The little guy got up from the ground, his face flushed with anger, "We're from Changxing Academy! If you dare to do anything to us, don't even think about going up the mountain!"

Another guy yelled, "Rude! Reckless!"

Commander Gu's face was blue by the anger of the two little guys, and his hand pressed on the handle of the knife on his waist, eager to cut down the two little guys and go directly up the mountain.

Seeing this, Shen Ling raised his hand and pressed General Gu's arm, not letting people pull out the knife.

She stood beside her and looked at the two little guys lightly, "I wonder how the Changxing monk would feel if he knew that you were so virtuous?"

The little guy was threatened by Shen Ling, and his chest erupted with anger, "You are just a woman, even if you say something, you may not believe it."

Shen Ling sneered and opened his mouth to refute, but at this time, a group of people came at the foot of the mountain, a group of scholars in simple clothes and patches.

These people Shen Ling knew, and she had helped these scholars teach the rich children who bullied them.

The scholars had received Shen Ling's favor, and when they saw Shen Ling, they all gathered around, "Shen Dashan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Someone asked, "Are you also here to participate in the Xingzhou Discussion?"

"Yes," Shen Ling bowed, and then his gaze fell on the two little guys at the foot of the mountain, and his tone was cold, "It's a pity that someone won't let me go up the mountain."

One

After hearing this, the white-clothed scholar looked at the two little guys and looked surprised, "Why don't you let Shen Dashan go up the mountain."

The little guy was indignant, "She's a woman, she can't go up the mountain."

The white-clothed scholar frowned slightly when he heard this, and then shouted at his friends who came with him, "Everyone, have you heard that Xingzhou Policy said that women are not allowed to participate?"

Everyone was very cooperative, and they all replied, "No."

The scholar in white spread his hands at the little guy, "Look, there is no such thing."

The little girl's face turned red, "But it's ......."

Another scholar stepped forward and interrupted, "Shen Dashan has done a lot of good things in Xingzhou, and many people have received her favors, do you want to go against the people of Xingzhou by blocking them like this?"

There were many scholars in this group, and they knew that the little guy would not let Shen Ling go up the mountain, so everyone came over and said a few words.

The two of them couldn't argue with this group of scholars at all, so they had no choice but to let Shen Ling and others go up.

Although Shen Ling didn't do good deeds to be repaid, the feeling of being rewarded was indeed not bad.

"Thank you."

Shen Ling smiled in his eyes and bowed to the scholars, and the scholars also smiled and saluted Shen Ling back.

The area at the top of the hill is very spacious, and there are many tables and chairs in the middle, which seems to be a place for people to discuss policies, and there are many straw mats around the place where the discussion is placed, which is a place for scholars who do not participate in the discussion to watch the discussion.

By the time Shen Ling came to the top of the mountain, there were already many people on the top of the mountain, but all of them were men and not a single woman.

When they saw Shen Ling, their eyes fell on Shen Ling's body, and Shen Ling could even hear the discussion coming from the crowd.

"What's the matter, why did a woman come up?"

"I guess it's like us, come and see the geniuses discuss."

"What can a woman understand when she comes here?"

Chief Leader Gu's ears and eyes were naturally bright when he heard these words, his face was dark, and he couldn't bear his anger before he didn't use these books.

Thinking of the purpose of coming here today, General Gu pointed to the seat in the middle.

"Go ahead."

Shen Ling sighed, at this time, Commander Gu still didn't understand.

In order to make General Gu die, Shen Ling walked towards the seat in the middle under the gaze of all the scholars, and then sat down.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and even the few scholars sitting next to Shen Ling cast unkind glances at Shen Ling.

The young master who came here to join in the fun saw Shen Ling sitting over, and walked to Shen Ling's side with a calm face.

"Get up, there's no place for anyone else sitting here."

The purpose of the discussion is to prevent people who want to participate in the discussion meeting and do not have a seat.

Shen Ling's expression was indifferent, and he pointed to the vacant seats around him, "There are other places here."

Another young master walked over, "Even if there is a place, this is not the place where you should sit as a woman."
