In the eighth floor of the Stargazing Tower.

As the checkpoints downstairs were broken one after another, Shi Chaoyi and Yang Shouye, who were still sitting opposite each other, no longer had the same vigor as before, and the solemn look on their faces showed that they were now shrouded by an inexplicable pressure.

"Feng Xiaoling has just stepped on the seventh floor, and he is discussing politics with a group of Confucian scholars. ”

Like the echoes of the battle report echoing in this empty eighth layer, Shi Chaoyi heard it and asked, "Has Wang Yueyao not interfered all this time?"

Miss Yueyao had been standing by and watching, without intervening, and judging by her expression, it seemed that she didn't know in advance that Wind Howling would be so talented. ”

"It's a good wind whistling ridge, I didn't expect to have such attainments, it seems that we still underestimate him. ”

An evaluation showed Shi Chaoyi's amazement, and also showed that he had begun to pay attention to the upcoming rival.

Yang Shouyi also put away his arrogant and domineering side at this time, and his face was even more solemn than Shi Chaoyi: "It seems that this Wind Howling Ridge is not an ordinary person, the previous six-layer confrontation has shown incredible attainments, even if it is not an exaggeration to call him a demon, but I don't know what amazing performance he will have on the seventh layer?"

Shi Chaoyi's face was dark, and a pair of eyes were focused on the teacup in front of him at the moment, as if he was speculating and considering.

Suddenly, an attendant walked upstairs quickly, reached Shi Chaoyi's side, and whispered a few words.

After listening to the entourage's narration, Shi Chaoyi's face changed again: "In a stick of incense, Wind Howling Mountain has won in the seventh layer. ”

"What?"

When Yang Shouyi heard this, he was also shocked.

Tonight, those Chang'an talents set up a total of seven levels for each other, qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, Shi Zheng, although the first six levels are to study the depth of personal attainments, but the players are all leaders in the field, the "Wind Howling Ridge" can easily win in the first six levels, although this surprised Shi Chaoyi and Yang Shouye, but it does not make them feel stunned. However, the seventh level, which they regarded as a killer weapon, was actually broken by the other party in a short period of time, which was quite unexpected to them. After all, when it comes to discussing politics, this requires debaters not only to have a unique vision, but also to know the way of being an official, the rules of the court, and the prudence of using language. Otherwise, if you don't know a word, it is very likely to leave a handle, and if it reaches the ears of those who have a heart, it is very likely that it will be a major crime of beheading Ling Chi or even raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

Hearing that the other party only used a stick of incense to make a group of talented people admit defeat, Yang Shouye became curious, and then asked, "How did Wind Howling do it?"

He saw that all the talented people were talking for a long time, all of which were flickering words, without directly touching the topic, and with a long sigh, he completely denied the meaning of the existence of this level, claiming: If you don't talk about politics directly, a thousand words are in vain. ”

When Shi Chaoyi heard this, his face showed a little playfulness: "This Feng Xiaoling has the courage to say anything, but this sentence is a second, and one sentence will put those timid and useless talents who can only bury their heads in poetry and books in the position of losers." ”

Yang Shouye also sneered: "Maybe he thinks that he is just a mountain man, even if he talks about it, he can't be blamed for angering Long Yan?"

Shi Chaoyi agreed: "Brother Shouye is reasonable, but Chaoyi wants to know, why did that class of talented people admit it?"

The inquiry looked at the entourage around him, and although the entourage wanted to report it, he did not dare to speak.

When Shi Chaoyi saw his entourage like this, he already knew that Fang Cai's "Wind Howling Ridge" must have put forward some argument that was enough to break the earth, and immediately said: "Just say it bluntly, one is that you are just repeating it, and the other is that I will also protect you." ”

"Feng proposed to a group of talented people to discuss the political achievements of the Empress Wu, thinking that the Empress Wu was in power, inheriting the concept of chastity and enlightening the Yuan Dynasty. It's a pity that when all the talented people heard the name of the martial queen, they were all dumbfounded, but they won without a fight. ”

A calm voice came from the staircase, Shi Chaoyi and Yang Shouyi followed the sound, only to see Tang Ling pacing in square steps, having come to the eighth floor, and Yun'er and Wang Yueyao followed closely behind.

Seeing that the other party had already arrived, Shi Chaoyi immediately put on a friendly appearance: "Brother Xiaoling, you broke seven levels in a row, and you actually did it in one go. ”

Tang Ling smiled on his face, his tone was still light and light, and he did not show arrogance: "It's just the accumulation of many years, Brother Chaoyi is a mistake." ”

Years of accumulation......

When Shi Chaoyi and Yang Shouye heard this, their faces were stagnant, this Feng Xiaoling looked young, and they were much younger than them, but their tone was not small at all, but there was a feeling of old-fashionedness, especially the sentence "accumulated over many years", which seemed to be a little ironic about the two of them.

And Yun'er and Wang Yueyao, who were following Tang Ling, were secretly snickering. Wandering in the world for thousands of years, Tang Ling inevitably intersected with those famous masters, and over time, even a piece of rusty iron can be forged into a divine weapon, not to mention that Tang Ling, as the spirit of creation, has a higher understanding than ordinary people?

Yang Shouye's city mansion was shallow, and he was stimulated by Tang Ling's seemingly arrogant words, and there was a faint appearance of frequent outbursts, but Shi Chaoyi beside him was not, smiled lightly, and had already spoken in front of him: "Brother Xiaoling has come all the way, he must be a little tired, right? Chaoyi will prepare refreshments for you to rest." ”

As soon as the words fell, several attendants on the side had already moved to their seats, and Tang Ling was not polite, so Shi Shiran sat down. Shi Chaoyi and Yang Shouye saw that Tang Ling and Yun'er were sitting in one seat, and Wang Yueyao was sitting in the other seat, and their hearts were a little fluctuating.

Seeing Tang Ling and a few people seated, Yang Shouye couldn't help but glance at Yun'er a few more times, and this inexplicable move made him stay in the past immediately-what a beautiful woman with a beautiful and fragrant country! Although her appearance is slightly inferior to Wang Yueyao, coupled with her smart and jumping temperament, it is incomparable to a mortal woman like Wang Yueyao! Thinking of this, Yang Shouye's hostility towards Tang Ling unconsciously became a little heavier, and he said in his heart: " This Wind Howling Ridge has such a beautiful woman, and he can still get Wang Yueyao's infatuated favor, if he has the opportunity, he must be taught a good lesson to vent the hatred in his heart!"

Just when Yang Shouye was thinking about it, Shi Chaoyi had already begun to think about Tang Lingpan and talk: "I just listened to what Brother Xiaoling said, and the political achievements of the Empress Wu are connected to the previous and the next. Chaoyi was curious, and looked at Brother Xiaoling to explain in detail. ”

Tang Ling's eyebrows moved, and he asked, "Brother Chaoyi, aren't you afraid that after listening to Xiaoling's narration, you will get into trouble?"

Empress Wu Zetian, when he abolished Zhongzong Li Xian and replaced him, he was called the emperor as a woman for more than 20 years, although he returned to the Li family, and he was the holy queen of Tianshun, but after all, there was the fact that he was plotting to usurp the throne. Therefore, over the years, the evaluation of her by politicians in the DPRK and China has been more positive and negative, and her image has plummeted even more because of the rebellion of Empress Wei and Princess Taiping. If an ordinary person says a good word for her, it is already a great sin, and it falls into the hands of some well-intentioned people, and even the listeners have to sit together. Now Tang Ling boldly said that Shi Chaoyi is humbly seeking advice, and both of them are equivalent to "anti-thief".

Tang Ling teased, but Shi Chaoyi was a breeze: "It's okay, after all, today's meeting is mainly about chatting about the world, what scruples can be put aside, not to mention that Brother Xiaoling is just a beginning, but he lacks detailed arguments, isn't it too appetizing for me?"
