Ge Yiming was wearing a white embroidered blademaster robe. He walked through the open study door and turned to the right. He saw a person behind the table with his head down and reading documents.
At the same time, the person raised his head and met Ge Yiming's eyes.
Before this, Ge Yiming had imagined countless possibilities. Only when he saw the person did he realize that the person in front of him was very different from what he had imagined.
The person behind the table should have been a 20-year-old youth, but at first glance, he looked like a middle-aged man nearing 30. Upon closer inspection, this person's skin and appearance were indeed no different from a 20-year-old youth. However, his eyes seemed to shine with the loftiness of the peak of a mountain and also seemed to carry the boundless vastness of time. There was also a kind of majesty of a ruler looking down on the world, as well as the sharpness of an unsheathed sword.
Ge Yiming's mind was momentarily confused. He could not distinguish the identity of the person in front of him. A scholar, a historian, a ruler, or a general who had killed countless demons.
An unprecedented shock rose in Ge Yiming's heart. Even when he had first met his uncle, Ge Baiwan, he had only been moved by his uncle's wisdom. However, looking at the eyes in front of him, an indescribable feeling rose in Ge Yiming's heart.
The person in front of him blinked. Only then did Ge Yiming withdraw from the confused feeling and secretly let out a breath. At the same time, he keenly felt that in the moment the other person blinked, he seemed to catch a faint trace of tiredness.
Catching this trace of tiredness, Ge Yiming felt a strange sense of shame surge in his chest. It was as if he owed the person in front of him a debt. At the same time, there was a trace of fear in his heart. It was as if he saw a towering giant leading tens of thousands of people forward. Now, he was tired and was resting.
Ge Yiming looked at the person in front of him and could not speak.
"You are Ge Jinshi." Fang Yun slowly straightened his body and looked expressionlessly at Ge Yiming. There was not a trace of a smile on his face.
Ge Yiming immediately came to his senses and hurriedly bowed. "Student Ge Yiming greets Governor Fang."
Ge Yiming bent down. As he rose, blood rushed to his face. His cheeks burned, and a trace of embarrassment flashed through his eyes. Just yesterday, he had told a group of officials that he would teach Fang Yun a lesson. Just before entering, he had thought that he could catch Fang Yun unprepared. Now, he didn't even dare to say anything.
"En, what do you want? Speak." Fang Yun's eyes were clear, and his expression was calm. It was as if he could suppress the fire with his expression alone.
Ge Yiming stood up straight and said regretfully, "Governor Fang is facing a disaster and he still doesn't know it. What a pity, what a pity."
"Continue." Fang Yun's expression did not change at all. Even his eyebrows did not move.
Ge Yiming gently clenched his teeth and immediately returned to normal. This kind of words was called Severe Warning, and it was the best magic weapon to attract people who had just met them. It was taught by Ge Baiwan, and Ge Baiwan learned it from a famous Jianghu traveling doctor. Ge Yiming had previously imagined Fang Yun's various reactions, various countermeasures, and even imagined that Fang Yun would pretend to be calm. However, he did not expect Fang Yun to be so indifferent. This was not a reaction that a young man should have.
Ge Yiming was a little flustered and even suspected that Fang Yun had seen through his intentions. However, he quickly adjusted his state of mind.
Ge Yiming casually saluted and said, "Jingguo is now in danger. Outside, there are barbarians invading the South. Internally, there is a struggle between the emperor and the young ministers. Chen Sheng, the root of the problem, has been ill for many years. To say something disrespectful, it is difficult for the current Chen Sheng to return to his former glory. In front of Lang Lu, there is no doubt that he will lose. Birds choose trees, and ministers choose their masters. Jingguo's emperor is not the emperor, and the country is not the country. How can a famous minister be trapped in it? Look at me, Gyeongo. Zong Sheng has not experienced a battle of life and death. He has not been seriously injured, and with the protection of the divine medicine, he has at least a hundred years of life. He first ruled the country with the Miscellaneous School, and now he is in charge of the Dongsheng Pavilion. He controls the human race and should be the leader of the human race. Gyeongo and Jingguo are like fireflies compared to the sun and the moon. They cannot be mentioned in the same breath. I think that if you change your allegiance to Zong Sheng, your future path will be smooth. In time, you will be canonized as a saint and enter the Temple of All Saints, overlooking the world. If you stay in Jingguo, your future will be bleak. I am afraid that you will die. I sincerely hope that Governor Fang will reconsider. "
"Well, you should have prepared a lot of speeches. Choose one for me to listen to." Fang Yundao's expression did not change at all.
Ge Yiming was stunned. He was stunned for a moment and wanted to curse out loud. Was there anyone who spoke like that? Who didn't prepare well before persuading others? Who would say such a thing when being persuaded? How was he supposed to respond? What did he mean by choosing a passage to say?
Ge Yiming suppressed the anger and helplessness in his heart and laughed dryly, "Governor Fang is indeed not an ordinary person. You cannot be judged by common sense. The reason why I am here is because I know that there are important people who are preparing to join forces with Zhang Longxiang at the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Gathering. They want to defile your Literary Name and take away your position. If you are unable to recover, it will be a great loss to the human race. As long as you join Gyeongo, I can guarantee that all obstacles will disappear. "
Fang Yun shook his head lightly and said, "Before you tried to persuade me, you already knew that I would not agree. Then, your purpose for coming here is clear."
Ge Yiming was silent. He thought that Fang Yun had already seen through his intentions. If he could persuade Fang Yun to join Gyeongo, even if there was only a one in a million chance, he would still try. If he could not persuade him, he would use some small tricks to disturb Fang Yun's mind. However, he did not expect Fang Yun to see through his intentions. If he continued to use those small tricks, it would be too embarrassing. However, if he just left like that, it would be even more embarrassing.
Ge Yiming was silent for a moment and said, "Everyone says that Governor Fang is a maverick. Today, I see that the rumors are true. Student sincerely says that you will definitely lose this Wen Meet. I have already received news that Zhang Longxiang will use a method that he is very good at but you are not good at. "
"How could I not know?" Fang Yun's tone was calm, but there was a hidden meaning that only he could understand.
Ge Yiming did not know the true intention of Fang Yun's words. He smiled slightly and said proudly, "If you knew, then that would be a problem. If there are no accidents, Zhang Longxiang has already arrived at Baling City and is making preparations. Once he is ready, he will officially enter Yue Yang Tower for the cultural competition. At that time, your title as the world's number one scholar will be difficult to maintain. "
"Yes, I will wait for him. If there is nothing else, you can leave. "Fang Yun ordered him to leave.
Ge Yiming had prepared a bellyful of words and many things to discuss. He had even prepared various emergency plans. However, he did not expect that Fang Yun would use such an unexpected method and not give him a chance.
Ge Yiming quickly realized that Fang Yun had not called him in to talk to him at all. Instead, he was sending a message to the outside world: he, Fang Yun, was willing to communicate with anyone and was willing to use gentle methods to resolve conflicts. He was not as unreasonable as the rumors said. If he was willing to meet even the people of Qingjiang Trading Company, then who else would he not meet?
It turned out that Fang Yun was not going to give Qingjiang Trading Company a chance. He was only sending a signal to those who were not deeply involved with Gyeongo. At the same time, he was giving a false impression to the scholars from other countries who were paying attention to this matter. He wanted Fang Yun to appear modest and courteous. If the two sides could not reach an agreement, then it was not necessarily that Fang Yun did not want to talk. It was very likely that Qingjiang Trading Company or Gyeongo had gone too far.
"What a good Fang Xusheng." Ge Yiming finally understood that he had been played by Fang Yun.
