Before Meng Linyu spoke, he held a writing treasure in his hand and used his power to isolate the conversation from the outside world.
When Fang Yun heard what he said, he was shocked. He did not expect the Meng family to target him so quickly.
The Meng Family was different from most Half-saint families.
The origin of the Meng Family was Meng Tian, a general of the Qin Dynasty. He was respected because he improved the writing brush, but he was not a Half-saint. His status was similar to Xusheng.
More than a hundred years ago, an ordinary descendant of the Meng family suddenly rose. He received the support of the main family and obtained the relics of Meng Tian, Bai Qi, Lu Buwei, Shang Yang, and many other generals of the Qin Dynasty. He even comprehended all kinds of holy principles from them. Later, he became a great scholar and tried to become a Half-saint.
Later, he repeatedly failed to become a Half-saint. His temperament became more extreme. He even monopolized the Meng family's belongings and had conflicts with the main family. He abolished the main family and established himself as a direct descendant of the Meng family. He drove the original main family to the desert border.
In the end, he saw that there was no hope of becoming a Half-saint. He led the army to kill the enemy and went to Jingguo, Gyeongo, Qi Dynasty, and barbarians. He used the enemy countries and barbarians as his whetstone. He used Bai Qi's military skills as his body, supplemented by Lu Buwei and Shang Yang's skills. He fought all the way until he finally walked out his own Half-saint path and became a Half-saint.
Because of his strong temperament, tough methods, and ruthless schemes, both enemies and allies were afraid of him. He was called the "Fierce Saint", but he did not care and accepted the title.
Meng Sheng built the foundation of the Half-saint path with his desperate thoughts and military skills. He had a lot of hidden dangers. Not long after becoming a Half-saint, he understood everything and became introverted. He had been quietly practicing until he disappeared without a trace. Notre-Dame did not announce any news about him. He was listed as a missing Half-saint.
Later generations analyzed that Meng Sheng's mistake was that he killed too many humans. His temperament was too extreme, so it was a big taboo to major in the Half-saint path. Confucius's disciple, Zilu, was also reckless and brave. Finally, he was guided by Confucius to cultivate righteousness and became a Half-saint.
After becoming a Half-saint, Meng Sheng almost never appeared again. He hadn't even finished writing his own Book of the Divine Path, so he hadn't even written anything in the imperial examination. Occasionally, he would be asked when he became a saint.
The Meng Sheng Clan also quieted down because they had too many enemies. Some Half-saint clans didn't even recognize Meng Sheng as a Half-saint.
Because many of Meng Sheng's words and deeds were in conflict with the orthodox militarists, the Sun Family, Sun Bin Family, and the other militarists families never had any dealings with Meng Sheng's family.
Until 15 years ago, when the new genius of the Meng Family, Meng Lin Tang, rose to prominence, the Meng Sheng Aristocratic Family once again appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Meng Lintang, known as the Northwest Mad Student, swore when he became a Hanlin Academy five years ago that once he became a Grand Scholar. He was determined to seize the position of the Four Great Scholars of this generation, and was known as the Fierce Monarch.
The Fierce Lord was like a second Fierce Saint, but he was more rational than the Fierce Saint. Fang Yun had heard of Meng Lintang's arrogance before. He had offended many prestigious clans and even the Destroyer Clan, but he had never heard of him offending the Half-saint Clan.
Fang Yun knew that Meng Linyu should be Meng Lintang's elder brother of the same generation, so he asked, "I wonder where Brother Meng got this information from?"
Meng Linyu smiled and said, "The Ji Clan."
Fang Yun glared angrily and couldn't help but think of the three people from that day. He said angrily, "Despicable!"
Fang Yun's expression was very direct, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The power of the Deception Strategy involuntarily moved, and at the same time, he felt that the other party was secretly mobilizing the military forces.
Meng Linyu sighed softly. He said, "The Ji Clan is in decline and has always been cautious. They don't want to have a conflict with you, and they hate you for getting the fur before them. Therefore, they secretly spread this information, vainly trying to use other clans or our Meng Clan to get rid of you. Although Lintang has a fierce reputation, it's mostly because of his enemies. He's just a straightforward person. He's afraid that you'll misunderstand, so he sent me to explain it to you. "
Fang Yun's eyes were still filled with anger, so he said, "The Ji Clan doesn't dare to directly take the fur because they're afraid of Lord Eastern Sage?"
Meng Linyu acted as if he was thinking, then shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."
Fang Yun's anger gradually dissipated, and he said, "Thank you for your reminder, Brother Meng. If you didn't come, I'm afraid I would've been deceived by the Ji Clan."
Meng Linyu sighed, "Your only problem now is that your foundation isn't deep. If you had a foundation, who would dare to provoke you?"
"I understand, this is my shortcoming." Fang Yun said sincerely.
"Actually, your teacher isn't Half-saint, right?" Meng Linyu suddenly said.
Fang Yun said helplessly, "To be honest, I don't know if he is. He didn't say anything. I'm not a Jinshi, so I don't have the qualifications to know his identity."
Meng Linyu said, "Recently, the Holy Clans have come to a conclusion that your teacher can't be a Half-saint. Therefore, the people of Gyeongo Wu Guo are ready to make a move. I shouldn't say this to you, but in order to show the sincerity of the Meng Clan, I should tell you this. "
Fang Yun said calmly, "I've never used my teacher's name to deceive others, so I don't care what others think. I don't think Lord Eastern Sage helped me kill the great scholar of Gyeongo for my teacher. "
Meng Linyu didn't say anything and only nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "You're indeed the famous Fang Maocai of the Ten Nations. You're full of guts! I heard that after you passed the Provincial Examinations, you're going to fight a state. After you passed the Capital Examinations, you're going to fight Gyeongo and reclaim a state. Is it true? "
"I'm tired of Gyeongo's endless suppression of Jingguo. In order to study in Jingguo in peace, I have to get rid of the mosquitoes around me. Don't you think so?" Fang Yun looked at Meng Linyu with a smile.
Meng Linyu nodded and said, "That makes sense. If Lintang hears this, he'll definitely like what you're doing. Hmm … other than talking about the Ji family, I also want to exchange something for the fur. Of course, I won't force you. Wait until I tell you what we're going to exchange. If you refuse, I'll pretend I never asked to avoid hurting our relationship. "
"If the Meng family is sincere in the exchange, I'll definitely return the favor," Fang Yundao said.
Meng Linyu said, "Do you know about the Soldier Roll Platform?"
Fang Yun's expression froze. He said solemnly, "Does it belong to the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, who was called the God of War?"
"Yes, it's Han Xin's Soldier Roll Platform. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Han Xin's achievements were so great that he was already suspected. Later on, he colluded with the traitor Chen Zhao. When Emperor Taizu of Han attacked Chen, he pretended to be sick and didn't come out. In the end, he was executed by Empress Lu. Han Xin was a military man after all. Before he died, he requested to inject his talent into the official seal and turn it into the Soldier Roll Platform. He wanted to become an extremely powerful literary treasure that was far superior to ordinary literary treasures. "
"I also know about this matter. It's a pity that the God of War of his generation, after the humiliation of crawling under his crotch, fought with his back to the river. He was unparalleled in his country, yet he ended up like this. If he was born now, without the suppression of the strong Han, he would've easily become the new Saint of the Military. "Fang Yun felt sorry for Han Xin. If it was based on military achievements and military strategy, Han Xin would've become a Saint.
"It's indeed a pity. He's a hero of his generation," Meng Linyu said.
Fang Yun asked, "Han Xin's Soldier Roll Platform, the more the better. It's said that the Soldier Roll Platform has a very magical effect. Is the Meng family really willing to exchange it?"
Meng Linyu said, "Our Meng family is reluctant, but in order to show our sincerity, we'll use the Soldier Roll Platform to exchange for the fur. How about it compared to the Ji family's offer?"
"It's much higher than the Ji family." Fang Yundao said.
"Then you agree to the exchange?" Meng Linyu asked.
Fang Yun asked, "I'll think about it for three days. Is Brother Meng willing to wait for three days?"
"It's only three days. I can afford to wait! However, if you don't agree after three days, I can only leave. The Soldier Roll Platform is a military treasure with extraordinary power. No one would use such a treasure to exchange for the fur. "
Fang Yundao said, "The Ji family said that the fur is at most worth an ordinary Great Confucian treasure. Why would the Meng family be willing to exchange it with a top Great Confucian treasure?"
"Sigh, it's nothing, but please don't mention it to outsiders." Meng Linyu said.
"Don't worry. If the Meng family is sincere, I won't mention it to outsiders regardless of the exchange."
Meng Linyu said, "Not long after my ancestor was bestowed as a Saint, he found that his Saint Dao foundation was unstable. So, he searched for a way to make up for it. In the end, he disappeared. Our Meng family inferred from various signs that my ancestor had entered the Holy Ground from the Demon Realm. As for the fur, I'm afraid it's related to my ancestor. "
"So you're looking for traces of my ancestor. Sigh, now that you mention it, I really want to exchange it immediately. By the way, since the Ji family told your Meng family about it, the other Half-saint families should also know about it. "
Meng Linyu said, "Everyone in the two realms has their eyes on the Holy Ground. Of course, this kind of thing can't be hidden. However, many people don't know the use of the fur and don't care. After all, the Holy Ground is full of secrets. I'm afraid that every family knows something."
"So it's like this. It seems that if I don't exchange with the Meng family, I'll be under a lot of pressure. Okay, let me think about it. "Fang Yun said and stood up.
Meng Linyu saw that Fang Yun was about to send him off, so he also stood up and said, "Then I'll come back in three days."
"Brother Meng, take care." Fang Yun sent Meng Linyu out.
After Meng Linyu left, a straightforward old man said with a sullen face, "Fang Yun, Meng Sheng massacred two of our cities. He has a blood feud with Jingguo. Don't forget."
Another old man said, "You may not know in Jade Sea City, but I've been traveling around the world over the years and heard a lot of things. Meng Lintang's talent is even higher than Meng Sheng's, and he also cultivates the Military Path. After becoming a Grand Scholar, he relied on his identity as a member of the Half-saint Clan to seize and seize, constantly strengthening the Meng family. The Half-saint Clan originally only had one town, but their Meng family has occupied the entire Meng County. The disciples of the Meng family from all over the country are studying there. "
"Wu Guo's royal family doesn't care?" Fang Yun asked.
"For a county, it's not worth falling out with the Half-saint Clan. You must be careful. Meng Lintang cultivates the Saint Path of Meng Sheng. Although he is more restrained than Meng Sheng, he is still extremely ruthless. It is said that he originally majored in Sun Tzu's Art of War and wanted to become an orthodox military strategist. But later on, he was provoked by something and swore to reclaim Sun Tzu's Art of War to wash away the shame of his ancestors. He must let Sun Tzu's Art of War appear in the Holy Speech.
"I really don't know. After all, this place is tens of thousands of miles away from Wu Guo's Meng County." Fang Yun said.
