Fang Yun kept his official seal and shook his head with a smile.
Jingan, this child, took Zhang Wankong's boasting seriously. Fortunately, I knew that such a thing would never happen and never mentioned it. Otherwise, I would have become the laughingstock of the Kong Shengwen Realm and even the human race.
Fang Yun thought to himself as he sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
This time, Fang Yun did not read a book. Instead, he was deducing the movement of the army and the barbarians.
The barbarians here were different from those in Saint Origin World and the demon world. They seemed to be influenced by the Kong Shengwen Realm and were more willing to use human means to win. This was very similar to the barbarians that were domesticated by the human race.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun understood something. Kong Sheng's literary world probably had other secrets. It wasn't just to nurture people of the literary world for battle.
Along the way, there was not much difference. Whether it was the generals of the Lumen Army or the Jingnan Army, they did not talk to Fang Yun.
The only change was that the attitude of the soldiers around Fang Yun had changed. They treated Fang Yun with a little more respect.
Fang Yun did not know the specific marching plan, but at night, based on the direction of the army, he could roughly guess the general situation.
Previously, the army would find the fastest way to advance. We would often pass through some barren land or hills and would not stop when we passed through some cities. But now, we should only take the safer official road from one city to another and then to the next. As long as we rest by the city and have the protection of the Holy Temple, the barbarians will not dare to attack. This will not only reduce fatigue and casualties, but also prevent the collapse of morale. However, this will delay many days. I'm afraid it will take at least six or seven days to arrive.
The army successfully arrived at Dingnan County and set up camp outside the city.
Marquis Lumen learned from yesterday's lesson and stayed in the barracks. He only accepted visits from the Dingnan County Magistrate and did not enter the city to participate in the banquet.
The next morning, the soldiers finished their breakfast and were about to leave when Fang Yun's thunderous voice sounded.
"The years have passed and the years have turned white. Spring is coming again in a hurry.
The affairs of Fujian and Guangdong are empty. Time is merciless.
An inch of loyal heart seeks to serve the country. Two lines of tears for the sake of family.
My lonely heart is intense and hard to divert, I slowly gather the gold plate into five clusters of Xin. "
As soon as the voice was heard. The scholars of Dingnan County rushed to spread the news, cheering and jumping for joy.
"Zhang Mingzhou left a poem in my Da Dingnan!"
However, Wei Changxian, who was preparing to mount his horse, waved his whip and whipped the warhorse crazily.
The warhorse kept stepping to avoid the attack, crying out miserably.
After dozens of lashes, Wei Changxian finally calmed down and pondered over the poem. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
The first couplet was not unique. It was just the poet lamenting the passing of one year after another. The number of white hairs on his head continued to increase, and the military horses hurried on. It was spring again.
The nodding couplet made Wei Changxian rather angry, as if a poet was saying, "What matter do you want me to stay here in Min and Guangdong as an idle person? Time is merciless and unforgiving. I don't want to waste my time here. " What he meant was that he was criticizing Marquis Lumen for treating the great Marquis of Zhujiang as a guest who had nothing to do in the army.
The neck couplet expressed Fang Yun's true feelings. He clearly had a loyal heart to serve the country, but now he had nothing to do. He could only cry and miss his family.
The last couplet. The poet's feelings of loneliness were so intense that it was difficult to control. He could only make some dishes to eat alone to ease his emotions.
Wei Changxian really wanted to find Fang Yun to reason with him. On the surface, the poem was written with grief and indignation, but the words used were very vicious. "Empty guest" directly pointed out that Marquis Lumen did not know how to use people and even implied that he did not know how to lead troops. "Two lines of clear tears" was obviously an exaggeration. Marquis Lumen's incompetence made it impossible for him to serve the country. He was angry and cried. In the end, he could only pretend that he missed his family.
Wei Changxian gritted his teeth, but he felt powerless. This poem was too cunning. Even a marquis cried. They could only eat and drink to suppress their feelings. What else could they say?
"This bastard, I didn't expect him to get more and more sympathy! He is simply a scoundrel among the literati! "Wei Changxian scolded in a low voice.
The army left Dingnan County and continued on their way. They passed by Heping County. Fang Yun originally thought that the army would go to Heyuan County in the south. They would arrive at Zhu City as soon as possible. However, if that was the case, the army would not be able to arrive in the evening. They would have to wait until dawn.
However, the army went southeast to Longchuan County. This way, the army could set up camp early. However, it delayed them for half a day.
Because they chose this path, the army was not attacked by the barbarians.
After a night's rest in Longchuan County, the army went to Heyuan County. Before they left, there was another burst of spring thunder in the sky.
"Every inch of mountains and rivers is worth gold,
Who can separate from each other?
The cuckoo prays again with tears of sorrow,
The elite guard fills the sea endlessly. "
In Longchuan County, the scholars were jubilant.
"Zhang Mingzhou left a poem!"
Wei Changxian was so angry that he pulled out his long sword, raised it high, and slashed down heavily.
The horse's head flew up and blood splattered everywhere.
"Zhang Longxiang, don't go too far!" Wei Changxian could not help but roar.
Xun Tianling looked in the direction of Fang Yun and sighed. "A person who can write such a poem is definitely not a traitor."
Marquis Lumen, who was not far away, turned a blind eye to it. However, he tightened his grip on the horsewhip and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. This poem was more offensive than the previous one. Moreover, it was directed at the King Of Chu!
Every inch of Chu's mountains and rivers was as precious as gold. Now, they were divided by the barbarians. Whose fault was this? The poet was like a cuckoo praying for Chu to regain its glory. He would not stop even if he spat out blood. He would also be like the elite guard bird that filled the sea with small stones in its mouth. He would not stop until he achieved his goal.
Marquis Lumen's face was ashen. Zhang Longxiang had been imprisoned for ten years. The fall of Chu River could not be blamed on him. It could only be blamed on the King Of Chu and the generals of Chu. Moreover, this poem had a deeper meaning. Once the crusade against the barbarians failed, it would not be Zhang Longxiang's responsibility like a guest. However, Zhang Longxiang would not admit defeat because of this. He would insist on pacifying the barbarians.
The army went to Heyuan. After they arrived, they set off to the east again. They arrived at Zijin County at night and stayed there for the night.
The next morning, when the cook had just started cooking, a thunderous voice exploded. However, it was not Fang Yun who spoke. It was the Grand Secretary Marquis Lumen.
"From today onwards, in order to prevent the barbarians from spying on us, no one is allowed to speak thunderous words. Otherwise, they will be executed on the grounds of leaking secrets!"
Wei Changxian was relieved. All the soldiers were also relieved. If Fang Yun had to recite a poem every day, even an iron heart would not be able to take it. One day, Marquis Lumen would go crazy from anger.
"What a pity."
Fang Yun let out a long sigh. The coachman and the surrounding soldiers did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The army advanced and set up camp in Haifeng County at night.
In the middle of the night, Fang Yun was reading as usual. However, a voice entered his ears.
"Old Man Lei Tingzhen, a great scholar, brought the goodwill of the Zong Family, Gu Family, Lei family and many other families of Saint Origin to pay a visit to Zhang Mingzhou."
Fang Yun was stunned. All the hair on his body stood up. His back was drenched in cold sweat. Countless thoughts emerged in his mind. One of them was the most terrifying. Did the Lei family and Zong family find out about him? Did they come to destroy his Sanshang Book Hill?
However, this thought disappeared in a flash. Fang Yun's expression returned to normal.
"Please come in." Fang Yun said softly.
The carriage door opened and a person covered in black clothes entered the carriage.
