The people on the third floor of the Ji family restaurant were in disbelief. This Marquis Zhang first destroyed Mingguo Manor, then killed Gou Bao, and now he wants to enter the palace to meet the King Of Chu. Is he walking into a trap, or is he trying to kill the king?
The scholars on the third floor discussed in low voices.
"Who knows what Zhang Mingzhou wants to do?"
"In my opinion, he wants to use the power of the Two World Mountain to suppress the King Of Chu!"
"No, he's definitely not that stupid. A mere king of a country in the literary circle can't compare to a scholar who wrote a legendary war poem. Whether it's fame or achievements, the King Of Chu can't compare to Zhang Mingzhou. But don't forget that the literary circle was created by Kong Sheng, the seven kingdoms and the Zhou Dynasty. Kong Sheng personally bestowed the titles to the kings of Chu! In a sense, the King Of Chu symbolizes Kong Sheng and the Kong family. If Zhang Mingzhou wants to touch the King Of Chu, it's tantamount to falling out with the Kong family! "
"That makes a lot of sense. Even if the Kong family doesn't fall out with him, the Notre-Dame will punish him."
"Is it really that serious?"
"A scholar is a scholar after all. No matter how famous a scholar is, he can't go against the king of a country."
"Even a great scholar can only force the king to compromise, and can't go too far! After all, the literary circle was created by Kong Sheng, and it has a huge will left by him. "
"Right, have you heard of a rumor? The Kong Shengwen Realm is entrusted with a lot of Kong Sheng's power. Once the barbarians break through the Two World Mountain, the accumulated power of the Kong Shengwen Realm will be able to eliminate all of them! "
"This rumor is very likely! Because of this, Zhang Mingzhou won't be stupid enough to touch the King Of Chu. But he will probably take revenge or ask for some benefits. "
"I'm afraid." Liu Xiucai frowned and didn't say anything.
"What are you afraid of?" The scholars nearby all looked at Liu Xiucai.
"I'm afraid that the King Of Chu will act out of desperation and use the Imperial Jade Seal to mobilize the destiny of Chu and the power of the Divine Temple to suppress Zhang Mingzhou. Then, he will order people to crush his literary gall and destroy his literary palace!"
"Is this King Of Chu crazy?" Everyone was puzzled. No one cared to say that King Of Chu was "driven to desperation."
"The enmity between the King Of Chu and the Zhang Clan is irreconcilable. Moreover, the Zhang family had always been known as a traitor. Once Zhang Longxiang enters the palace, he's dead for sure! "
"Then what should we do?"
"With Zhang Longxiang's intelligence, he wouldn't be so reckless. In my opinion, he must be hiding some kind of trick. Perhaps, he has already found some support in Two World Mountain. "
"Indeed, the King Of Chu wouldn't be so stupid as to kill Zhang Longxiang without sufficient evidence. Once he did that, what awaited him would be his abdication! After all, the scholars in Saint Origin World will also put pressure on the Kong family, and the Kong family will also compromise. "
"I hope so."
While everyone was talking, the waiter on the third floor who had ridiculed Fang Yun also went up to the third floor and secretly looked out of the window.
The restaurant manager saw that Fang Yun was about to fly to the palace and became anxious. He couldn't help but shout: "Marquis Zhang, can our Ji Clan Restaurant hang your poem in our restaurant?"
The scholars present looked at the restaurant manager with strange eyes. Fang Yun's killing intent was at its peak and he wanted to have a showdown with the monarch, but this restaurant manager was not afraid of death.
Fang Yun turned his head to look at the restaurant manager. He understood that the restaurant manager was afraid that the waiter would cause serious trouble, so he wanted to hang the poem in the restaurant to eliminate the negative impression.
As a Grand Scholar, Fang Yun would not hold a grudge against the waiter. He nodded lightly and left in a carefree manner.
The restaurant manager was so excited that his face turned red. He shouted: "Many thanks, Marquis! Many thanks, Marquis! "
Out of the corner of his eyes, the restaurant manager saw that the waiter had also gone upstairs. His face changed and he was about to scold the waiter, but his eyes turned and he scolded: "Why are you still not kneeling and thanking Marquis Zhang?"
The waiter realized that the danger had passed and his face was full of tears. He faced Fang Yun and knelt on the ground. He kept kowtowing until his forehead hit the floor.
"Many thanks, Marquis Zhang, for your kindness! Many thanks, Marquis Zhang, for your kindness! Many thanks! "The waiter cried while thanking him.
The rest of the scholars looked at this scene and sighed with emotion.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant looked at the scholars on the third floor and laughed. He said, "You are all present at today's meeting. Since Marquis Zhang is participating, why don't you copy it on behalf of Marquis Zhang and hang it on the wall of the Ji family restaurant? How about it?"
The scholars' eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to promote the Literary Name.
"I think, why don't Brother Liu copy it and we will tell the whole story. We will leave our names at the end as witnesses. How about it?"
"Good, I think only Brother Liu has the qualifications to copy this poem!"
The rest of the scholars nodded their heads. The three scholars who had stopped Fang Yun at the beginning had a complicated expression. If they had taken the initiative to be friendly, the matter of copying the poem would have been their turn. Their Literary Name would have increased greatly. In the future Literary Conferences, today's matter would have become an excellent topic of conversation. Their names might even appear in unofficial history or folklore.
"Deference is no substitute for obedience. When Marquis Zhang's matter today is over, I will write down his visit to the Ji Clan Restaurant."
Everyone nodded their heads and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace, quietly waiting.
The King Of Chu's Palace was brightly lit. A large number of soldiers poured into the palace from all directions. Not only were there soldiers inside the Imperial Palace, but there were also soldiers standing all around the Imperial Palace.
Fang Yun landed outside the gates of the Imperial Palace and walked forward with square steps. He did not look sideways and his steps were steady.
The soldiers stood on both sides of the road dutifully. Once Fang Yun approached, the soldiers' breathing would become heavy and their hearts would beat faster. They would become very nervous.
Fang Yun walked as if there was no one around him. After walking for a while, he finally reached the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was dazzling with gold and jade. Red pillars stood upright. The King Of Chu sat high on the Dragon Throne. On both sides of him stood four Grand Scholars. Other than them, there was no one else in the Imperial Palace.
Fang Yun's gaze swept across the screen in the depths of the Imperial Palace and he smiled faintly.
Fang Yun was about to enter the Imperial Palace when a Jinshi General in golden armor stopped him. He said, "The Imperial Palace is strictly guarded. Marquis, please allow me to search your body!"
Fang Yun looked at the Jinshi General indifferently. He used the power of Literary Courage and the Jinshi General immediately staggered back. He felt dizzy and his vision blurred.
Fang Yun stepped over the threshold of the Imperial Palace and raised his head to look at the King Of Chu. He walked forward slowly.
"How dare you!" Prince Jing shouted angrily.
"Royal Uncle, forget it. Zhang Longxiang is used to being arrogant. When he was young, he often ridiculed me. Do you still remember, Longxiang? "The King Of Chu looked at Fang Yun with a smile.
Fang Yun looked at the King Of Chu and said, "I don't remember those trivial things."
The King Of Chu was wearing a black dragon robe and a flat imperial crown. A curtain of beads hung down, blocking his face.
Behind the curtain was the face of a middle-aged man. He was quite handsome, but even when he smiled, it was as gloomy as the dark clouds on a sunny day.
"You and I are about the same age. When we were young, we talked about poetry and essays, rode horses and hunted. We can be considered old friends. But why did your father betray the human race and turn against us? "The King Of Chu's face grew colder as he spoke.
Fang Yun bowed slightly and said politely, "King Of Chu."
"How dare you!" Prince Jing interrupted Fang Yun. Officials could only address the King Of Chu as "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty," and so on. They couldn't directly address the King Of Chu as that was very disrespectful.
The King Of Chu snorted and said, "Forget it. Longxiang is no longer what it used to be. Don't worry about these details. Say what you want to say."
