Fang Yun looked at the river again. The Yangtze River near Baling City was his fief, and there were water demons everywhere. Many of them were glowing with golden light, which was very similar to the golden light of the dragon's gate shadow. However, not all of them had crossed the dragon's gate shadow a few days ago.
With the golden light, the intelligence of these water demons had obviously increased, and their cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary water demons.
Fang Yun could not understand this phenomenon. There were no relevant records on the Dragons' Tablet, so he could only attribute it to the Wenxing Dragon Gate and the Ninefold Dragon Gate.
These water demons were extremely loyal, even more so than the soldiers of Jingguo. Fang Yun had already treated them as Wen Xing Long Jue's private army to guard the river section of Baling City. There were already more than 120,000 of them. As for the armor and weapons on these water demons, they were all "borrowed" from the Dragon King of Dongting. Fang Yun had even written an IOU.
Fang Yun planned to select the most elite water demons and send them to the Bloodlight World in the future. The environment of the Bloodlight World was unique, and it was enough for these water demons to break through the limit of the demon rank.
At present, the limit of these water demons was only the demon king. After all, their bloodline was very poor. However, if they entered the Bloodlight World, they would have a chance to become a great demon king and be of great help.
Even the Dragons who ruled the four seas would treat the great demon king of the water demons well.
No matter which clan the great demon king was, it was an extremely important force in all the worlds.
Finally, Fang Yun looked at the entire Yangtze River.
The surging Yangtze River was like a jade belt that separated the earth and stretched to the end of the east, as if it was connected to the sky. Just a glance at it could make one's heart open up and feel comfortable.
Fang Yun turned around. Emperor Qing had finished exchanging greetings with the others.
Fang Yun walked to the table at the front of the hall, where all the great scholars of Jingguo were.
The Prefecture Overseer, Dong Wencong, walked over and secretly transmitted his voice, "A few more great scholars are about to arrive. Should we wait?"
Fang Yun scanned the official seal with his psychic power and looked at the time. He replied, "We'll begin after noon."
Dong Wencong continued, "Zhang Longxiang's whereabouts are mysterious, even with my official seal, I am unable to find him. In my opinion, you'd better use your official seal to find him, and then secretly keep an eye on him, to prevent him from attracting disaster. This time, I forbade others from entering the High Sun Tower in order to prevent those people from Qingjiang Trading Company from causing trouble. "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Zhang Longxiang's tracks have already been exposed. You don't have to worry."
Dong Wencong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. That's right … what you're worried about has already happened. Fortunately, we were prepared. Governor Fang Shouye and I have already set up an inescapable net. As long as you give the order, we can catch them all in one fell swoop! "
"That's good." Fang Yun nodded.
"But … I haven't found any of those external thieves. I have no clue at all."
"You don't have to care about those people. I will take care of them."
"This subordinate will take his leave."
Dong Wencong hurriedly left after saying this. When he reached the stairs, he turned around to look at the many great scholars and scholars present. A trace of regret flashed across his face. He was the Xiang Province's Magistrate. If he could forcefully stay here and make friends with the most outstanding people of the human race, even if it was just a passing encounter, it would be of great use in the future. However, these people could only be the icing on the cake. They couldn't provide timely assistance.
Dong Wencong took one last look at Fang Yun and walked down the stairs.
To Dong Wencong, only Fang Yun could provide timely assistance. As long as he did his best to organize today's meeting, even if he didn't say a single word to these important people, he would still receive the rewards he deserved.
Fang Yun watched Dong Wencong leave. He raised his wine cup and first toasted the people at the same table. There was Minister of Culture Kang Ha-chuan, Right Minister Cao Dean, Patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Mingding … and so on, these great scholars of Jingguo.
Soon after, great scholars arrived one after another. There was Shu's Great Scholar Sai Xiao Yu, Yun Country's Great Scholar Yun Qing Yu, Yue Country's Great Scholar Xu Hao …
Just after noon, purple robes fluttered in the wind above Yueyang Tower.
There were actually 76 great scholars sitting in Yueyang Tower.
Even during the first Great Battle of Two Worlds Mountain, only three times had more great scholars participated in the battle.
So much so that after someone posted a post on the discussion board discussing this matter, scholars from all over the country scratched their ears and cheeks. They all wanted to rush to Yueyang Tower to see the elegance of these great scholars.
In the history of the human race, there had never been so many great scholars gathered together for a provincial level meeting.
This caused some members of the Zong family and Lei family to complain on the discussion board. Most of the great scholars were clearly targeting Fang Yun. They said that they wouldn't help either side, but Zhang Longxiang was clearly at a disadvantage. This was very unfair.
When the time came, it was exactly one o 'clock in the afternoon. Fang Yun lightly coughed and stood up to face all the guests.
The originally lively Yueyang Tower instantly quieted down.
The maids and attendants attending to the guests were all shocked. They secretly thought that these great figures were really scary. They clearly held high positions, but at this time, their reactions were even more uniform than the most elite soldiers. These maids and attendants were already well-trained, but they only realized that Fang Yun was about to speak after seeing these great scholars move.
Fang Yun smiled slightly and swept his gaze over the crowd. He said, "I am still a little nervous about this small gathering before the meeting. I am afraid that I have neglected everyone. Mr. He Chuan said that Fang Yun, you don't have to be nervous. Right now, Baling City is full of great scholars. There are as many scholars as there are dogs. If you throw a brick into the crowd, it will hit at least three Hanlin scholars. There is nothing to be afraid of. "
Many people laughed. The great scholars present were sincere. As soon as they heard this, they knew that this wasn't Kang Ha-chuan's words. It was Fang Yun deliberately saying this to liven up the atmosphere. At the same time, he expressed his respect for the great scholars. He didn't put on airs just because he was Xusheng. He was completely different from the Qing Emperor who wore the Three Feather Flat Imperial Crown.
"However … the most nervous right now is not me. It is the generals of Wu Guo, Gyeongo, and Gu Guo. What if the three emperors like Baling and don't want to return to their countries? Will they lead their troops to Xiangzhou or Xiangzhou?"
Everyone smiled. It was common for scholars to make fun of the guests. There were even some scholars who used sarcasm as the theme. The words used were so vicious that it was difficult to resist. They were even criticized by some stubborn old people.
"When the time comes, Gyeongo's army will definitely be the first to reach Baling City. After all, they are familiar with the roads," Fang Yun said with a smile.
Everyone was shocked. Then, Wu Guo and some others laughed.
On the surface, these words were saying that Gyeongo had once controlled Xiangzhou. In reality, they were insinuating that not long ago, the Xuanwu Army had passed through Xiangzhou and robbed the people. They were accusing the Qing Emperor of not being strict with his army.
Most of the great scholars of Gyeongo were not angry. Instead, they smiled. Fang Yun clearly had no ill intentions. This level of sarcasm was actually very common at scholars' gatherings.
The Qing Emperor also didn't seem angry. He just laughed dryly.
"The second to arrive will definitely be the Gu army. After all, they can follow behind Gyeongo's army."
This time, there were fewer people laughing. The Gu officials were clearly embarrassed. Gu Jun could only laugh dryly because Fang Yun's sarcasm was very accurate. Gu was already controlled by the Zong Sheng's Miscellaneous School. Gu Jun could only be the Qing Emperor's follower.
"However, Wu Guo and Gu Jun should be able to return on time. Only the Qing Emperor will return a few days later. After all, he will be surrounded by his old friends as soon as he arrives in Baling."
This time, the laughter was even louder. Fang Yun not only mocked the Qing Emperor for being lecherous, but also pointed out that the Qing Emperor seemed to have an affair with Hua Qingniang and the other flower girls of Qingjiang Trading Company.
The Qing Emperor was not angry...........
