Many people looked at that person and saw that the group of Wu Guo scholars were acting strangely. Some of them were looking up at the clouds, some were looking down at their shoes, and some were looking around as if they wanted to distance themselves from the person who spoke.
Only a few people around that person were trying to persuade him. That person didn't care at all and said, "I've been sitting up there listening to all of you chattering all day. Now that I've finally come out for a breath of fresh air, I can't stand it and I can't scold Wu Guo and Gyeongo. Ge Yiming, what are you looking at? Come over here and look at me."
Although portraits of the Martial Lord were rare, they weren't rare either. Ge Yiming recognized this troublesome Martial Lord at a glance. Gyeongo had a feud with Wu Guo. Even if the other party was the Martial Lord, Gyeongo scholars wouldn't let him insult them. Normally, they would definitely retaliate. However, they were already enemies with Fang Yun and were about to do something big. If they had a conflict with the Martial Lord now, it would be hard to avoid complications.
A Martial Lord wasn't scary. After all, there was the Notre-Dame to suppress him and the officials to keep him in check. The Human Race hadn't had a Martial Lord for many years. However, an unreasonable Martial Lord who liked to mess around was even more difficult to deal with than a great scholar.
Seeing that Ge Yiming didn't say anything, the Martial Lord snorted and didn't say anything else.
Ning Zhiyuan sighed and said, "I thought that the Martial Lord and Ge Yiming would quarrel on the street. What a pity, what a pity."
"The Martial Lord is still the Martial Lord of a country. How could he quarrel on the street? You're thinking too much." Lu Yu said.
However, the older Ma Yuan said, "No, the Martial Lord is indeed deliberately provoking Ge Yiming."
"Ah, this …"
Several people looked at Ma Yuan in disbelief.
Ma Yuan said, "I worked in the Great Source Mansion for half a year and came into contact with some official documents from Gyeongo, Wu Guo, Qi Guo, and Jingguo. I have some understanding of the relationship between these countries. Even we can see that Gyeongo wants to make a move on Fang Yun at the Mid-Autumn Festival. How can the Martial Monarch not see that the enmity between Wu Guo and Gyeongo is even deeper than the enmity between Wu Guo and Jingguo? Wu Jun's grandfather, Wu Lie Zong, fell ill due to the defeat at the Battle of Dingshui. Even the Great Scholar of the Medical School was unable to cure him, and he passed away when Wu Jun was seven years old. And the Martial Blaze Sect was extremely fond of the Martial Monarch, so after the Martial Monarch ascended to the throne, he targeted Gyeongo everywhere. When they arrived at Baling City, since they happened to run into Ge Yiming and the others helping Gyeongo attack Fang Yun, it was inevitable that they would interfere. Unfortunately, this Ge Yiming is very shrewd. Even though the Martial Monarch deliberately said such unpleasant words, he still didn't retaliate. "
"I see. What a pity. It wouldn't be good for the Martial Monarch to provoke him again and again, so this matter will probably pass. "
Ma Yuan smiled and said, "No, the Martial Monarch has the temper of a typical martial artist. This time, he didn't manage to mess with Gyeongo, so he must be angry and will definitely make a move again today. For Jingguo, this is a good thing. I heard that the Martial Monarch admires Fang Xusheng a lot, and I'm afraid that he has the intention to help Fang Xusheng and ease the relationship between Jingguo and Fang Xusheng. "
"If the Martial Monarch interferes, things will be much better. Now, Fang Yun will be in a difficult situation," Ma Yuan said.
"Brother Ma, what do you mean?"
"This matter is very troublesome. Right now, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. With the Qing Monarch and guests from various countries present, Fang Yun can't deal with them at all. He can only wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival ends and slowly deal with them. Qingjiang Trading Company probably knows this, so they aren't afraid of causing trouble today. Even if Fang Yun continues to be the governor after the Mid-Autumn Festival, they can still follow the Qing Monarch's group to Gyeongo. Ge Yiming and the others are fearless because they have a strong backing. "
"Now that you mention it, it's true. If Fang Yun decides to punish them now, the Qing Monarch and the others will definitely appear and cause chaos at the Mid-Autumn Festival. If there's a problem with the competition, all the blame will naturally be pushed onto Fang Yun. If they wait until tomorrow, not to mention whether Fang Yun will still be the governor at that time, even if he is, he won't be able to go to Gyeongo to arrest them. Furthermore, if Fang Yun loses today, the Left Minister's party will definitely impeach him, and Fang Yun will have to resign from his position as the governor of two states. Ge Baiwan and the Qingjiang Trading Company have really calculated everything. "
"Not good, quickly go and discuss the rankings. The Gu Monarch and the Qing Monarch have come together and are already fifty miles away."
"What?"
The expressions of Fang Yun's former classmates changed drastically. The arrival of two monarchs meant that the power of two states was on Fang Yun. The governors of two states could not compare to the two monarchs.
Everyone hurriedly held their official seals and went to look at the rankings. They found that a scholar had posted that he had seen the Gyeongo monarch and the Gu monarch's guard of honor outside the east gate. They were slowly approaching Baling from fifty miles away. There were six purple-robed Confucians standing guard in the sky. There were more than thirty Grand Scholars, and countless Hanlin Scholars and Jinshi. There were more than a thousand people.
After that, the person replied that the two monarchs' guard of honor were at the front. Behind the two monarchs' imperial carriages were the carriages of the Zong, Weng, and Sima family heads.
Many scholars were shocked by this scene. It was normal for the Notre-Dame to gather these monarchs and family heads. However, it had been many years since so many monarchs and family heads had gathered at a literary conference. Furthermore, other family heads or monarchs could also arrive at Baling.
Fifteen minutes later, someone posted on the rankings. The Chen Sheng Clan, Zhang Heng Clan, Gong Yang Clan, Cui Sheng Clan, and Ban Gu Clan's heads of the five major Jingguo families had set off from the capital together. They would probably arrive at Yueyang Tower later than the Qing Monarch.
Soon, someone posted that the Han Feizi Clan, Shang Yang Clan, and Li Kui Clan had also set off. The Han Feizi Clan's head was personally leading the team, while the other two clans had sent Confucians.
Not long after, the Medical Saint Clan, Hua Tuo Clan, Zu Chongzhi Clan, Li Daoyuan Clan, and Liu Xiang Clan had all sent Confucians.
Scholars all over Baling City posted their articles on the rankings and spread the news.
Many scholars who didn't go to Baling City sighed when they saw the news on the ranking list flying everywhere. If they had known that the gathering would be so grand, they would have gone even if it was inconvenient. Even the Mid-Autumn Festival Gathering in Kong City couldn't be so grand, especially after the collapse of the Holy Ground. The Mid-Autumn Festival Gathering in Kong City was getting worse year by year.
Most of the family heads had staggered, so it was impossible for them to arrive at the same time for Fang Yun to welcome them.
Gyeongo was the first to leave Xiangzhou and also the first to arrive at Baling City.
The sky above Baling City was as blue as jade, sparkling and translucent. Although the autumn sun was hot, the autumn wind blew, and the weather was pleasant.
Yueyang Tower was in the western part of Baling City, but at this moment, the eastern part was the most lively place in the city.
From the sky, one could see that both the residents of the city and the millions of guests who had come ashore from the eye of the sea were all heading toward the eastern part of the city.
Too many people were heading toward the eastern part of the city, so the officers and bailiffs had no choice but to guide and persuade them. However, most of the people who had come here were here to watch the spectacle. How could they miss the scene of Fang Yun meeting the heads of the two monarchs and three clans?
The walls of the eastern part of the city were already crowded with the citizens of Xiangzhou and the guests who had arrived early. They craned their necks to look outside the city walls and saw colorful banners fluttering on the official road in the distance. There was an endless stream of carriages and cavalry that stretched as far as the eye could see.
