"This Meng Lintang seems to be very smart. He knows who he can mess with and who he can't," Fang Yundao said.
"Of course. He learned from Meng Sheng's lesson and didn't touch those Half-saint families, even those weak Half-saint families. Only the famous and wealthy families, and only those who are not very close to the Half-Saint aristocratic families. "
"I see. Then I understand. Thank you for your guidance. Let's continue."
After Fang Yun finished teaching all the fingering techniques of "Tune of a Peaceful Night," Pan Hanlin asked Fang Yun to play "Tune of a Peaceful Night." Fang Yun played it seriously. Everyone praised Fang Yun's superb guqin skills before leaving one after another. Only Pan Hanlin waited for everyone to leave before getting up.
"I'll see you out," Fang Yun said with a smile.
Pan Hanlin nodded and walked a few steps. "You said you completed the score of 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' after Chinese Valentine's Day?"
"Yes," Fang Yun said honestly.
Pan Hanlin said meaningfully, "You can play 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' to this extent in just a few days. Even a person in the first realm of the guqin can't do that."
"I was lucky," Fang Yundao said.
"Others can't see it, but we know that 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' conflicts with the fingering techniques and musical styles of today in many ways. The more profound a guqin master is, the less likely he is to write it. It's more like a fingering technique and musical composition created by a genius with a shallow guqin dao."
Fang Yun was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Pan Hanlin smiled and patted Fang Yun's shoulder gently. He continued, "Your talent is too amazing. You need to hide it at all times. It's a good idea to fake an incomplete score. We'll take it as the real deal. It seems. I'll also go to the River of Enlightenment in a few days. "
After that, Pan Hanlin looked at Fang Yun seriously. He walked out of the Fang family with his head held high proudly and his hands behind his back, like an expert who had seen through everything. Then he floated away.
Fang Yun stood at the door and looked around blankly.
"Is this a trap within a trap? I want to say that you're overthinking it! " Fang Yun carefully recalled the attitude of some old people. They didn't go for the incomplete score at all. perhaps they suspected that he was the one who created it...
Fang Yun shook his head helplessly. He returned to the study and thought about the Meng family...
"Moving with emotions, luring with benefits, and forcing with power, these are the similarities between the School of Vertical and Horizontal and the School of the Military. It was just that the Art of Traversing specialized in turning the void into the real, while the School of the Military had both the void and the real, with endless variations. ...... that's why. .....................................................................
"It's a pity that although my talent and literary skills are not as good as his, I have already begun to write the 'Thirty-six Stratagems'. The Thirty-Six Stratagems might not be as powerful as the military books written by Hanlin. ........... ................. thought........................ to think..... .......................
. During the conversation, I deliberately mentioned 'Lord Eastern Sage' twice. Half-saint's power is endless. He can hear who is calling him, and even a few breaths of time. Meng Linyu answered vaguely the first time. The second time, he deliberately stayed silent for a moment before answering. It was obvious that he had a guilty conscience.
Fang Yun's eyes gradually turned cold. His whole body exuded a coldness that only appeared when he played the Autumn Wind Melody.
"The Ji family was once prosperous. Their ancestor was a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty's emperor, a master of the Dao of Change. Unfortunately, their talent has withered. In recent years, their status is even lower than the Meng family. However, this declining Half-saint family must have a treasure, such as that mysterious small piece of wood. Fierce Monarch probably had his eyes on the Ji family, but the Ji family has always been low-key. He couldn't find any opportunity. But my meeting with the Ji family gave him an opportunity. So he deliberately framed the Ji family and let me fight with the Ji family. He took the opportunity to help me deal with the Ji family. "
"The Meng family indeed wanted my beast skin. However, they shouldn't have used Han Xin's Soldier Roll Call Platform to exchange for it. They let me see the problem! It would have been better if I didn't exchange it. If I had exchanged it with Han Xin's Soldier Roll Call Platform, I would have become a thorn in the side of the Wealthy Han family! The pressure on Fierce Monarch would have been greatly reduced! Wait, did I underestimate Fierce Monarch? Although Fierce Monarch is fierce, he is not a lone wolf. This can be seen from the fact that he occupied a county to develop the Meng family. "
"If it was only for his own Saint Dao, he would have avoided doing so. But he did so because he learned from Meng Sheng's mistake. He wanted to develop his own power and steadily become a Saint. Oh right, Meng Linyu said that my foundation is too shallow. I'm afraid he was hinting at me. He probably wants to use Han Xin's Soldier Roll Call Platform and the Han family to force me into a dead end. Then, he will save me as a wise lord and benefactor and make me submit to him! "
"Whether I fight with the Ji family or the Han family, he will do the same! If I really fall for his strategy, then he will have the best of three! Fierce Monarch! His talent is probably above Meng Sheng's! Meng Sheng's fierceness is only in invading the main family and killing enemies on the battlefield. But Fierce Monarch's fierceness is not only because of Bai Qi's killing, but also because of Lu Buwei's greed to control the world! Without greed, without aspiring to become a Half-saint or even a Quasi-saint, he will definitely not target the Ji family! "
Fang Yun could not help but sigh. First, there was the Left Minister who wanted to control Jingguo's government. Then, there was the School of Vertical and Horizontal and the School of Miscellany who wanted to unite with the barbarians to fight against the demons.
"This is the era of lunatics!"
Fang Yun's gaze slowly changed. In the end, it became sharper than Li Wenying's Blood-Draining Ancient Sword.
"The road is open to the sky, everyone walks their own path. If anyone dares to step on me, I will tell you that you were born in the wrong era!"
Fang Yun took a deep breath.
"When you become a Juren or a Jinshi, it is no longer up to you!"
Fang Yun took out the mysterious beast skin and gently stroked it. It was smooth and comfortable. The three drops of blood on the pure black fur were still very eye-catching.
Three days later, Meng Linyu came to visit again.
It was drizzling.
After entering the study, Meng Linyu put down the umbrella and patted his white Jinshi robe. The water droplets splashed everywhere.
He did not sit down and stood at the door with a faint smile. He asked, "Does Minister Fang agree to the exchange?"
"I've thought about it for a long time. Thank you for your kindness, but even if I have the Great Confucian Treasure now, I won't be able to use it, so I won't exchange it." Fang Yun sat behind the desk with a smile.
"Oh? Then what do you want? As long as we can find it, we will definitely find it. After all, it is related to the traces of our ancestors. I still want to fight for it. "
Fang Yun felt that Meng Linyu was using the power of the military book again. He pretended not to know and said, "To say something offensive, in my heart, Han Xin's Soldier Calling Platform is not as important as Han Xin's Three Essays."
Meng Linyu's expression did not change, but his breathing was slightly chaotic and quickly recovered.
"Minister Fang, you must be joking. Han Xin's Three Essays is naturally more valuable than the Imperial Treasure. To tell you the truth, Lintang only borrowed Han Xin's Three Essays for a hundred years. He did not take the Han family's property as the outside world said. As for the Soldier Calling Platform, it is indeed the Han family's fault. "Meng Linyu said.
Fang Yun did not expect Meng Linyu to have such a subtle reaction after hearing Han Xin's Three Essays. He seemed to want to hide something. He thought and said, "Then there is no other way."
The smile on Meng Linyu's face faded. He said, "Fang Yun, I came with great sincerity. If we cannot reach an agreement before mid-autumn, the fierce ruler will be very angry."
Fang Yun naturally understood that he did not mention Meng Lintang but the fierce ruler.
"That day, you said that if I did not agree to the exchange, you would treat it as if nothing had happened." Fang Yun said.
"I thought you would agree to the exchange." Meng Linyu said with unusual seriousness.
"I also often think that others will help me." Fang Yun's gaze swept past Meng Linyu and landed on the patter of autumn rain outside the door.
The autumn rain and the cold.
"You should have exchanged." Meng Linyu sighed. He slowly bent down and picked up the umbrella.
Fang Yun did not speak. He quietly looked at the rain outside.
Meng Linyu held the umbrella and turned around. With his back facing Fang Yun, he said, "You are different from others. I will give you another chance."
Fang Yun was stunned. This voice was completely different from Meng Linyu's.
Meng Linyu stepped over the threshold and left with the sound of rain hitting the umbrella.
Fang Yun was still thinking about that voice. It was calm, generous, and at the same time, absolutely unquestionable.
"Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission? The Mohist family's special sound-transmitting conch? From the sound of it, it doesn't sound very fierce. "
Fang Yun thought to himself. He walked to the door and looked at the flowerbed.
"Daniu, come here!"
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Fang Daniu ran along the corridor.
"Why are there no more weeds in the flowerbed?"
Fang Daniu laughed honestly, but there was a hint of cunning in his smile. "It shows that we are hardworking."
Fang Yun rolled his eyes. "Does Sister Yuhuan know?"
"How would we dare to hide it from her? Madam has agreed. Half of the money will be handed over to her. We are not fools. We have followed you for a long time. It is worth more than a small amount of money, "Fang Daniu said.
"Do people really buy those lousy flowers and weeds?" Fang Yun asked.
Fang Daniu said seriously, "Those are not lousy flowers and weeds. Those are Enlightenment Flowers and Enlightenment Grass that have absorbed the essence of the Literati Star! They are nourished by Fang Zhenguo's reading every day. They have the effect of refreshing the mind and enlightening the mind. They are essential items for students! "
"How much did you earn?" Fang Yun suddenly asked.
Fang Daniu said without thinking, "Not much, just over fifty taels." He regretted it as soon as he said it. He wanted to slap himself. A normal follower would earn at most three taels of silver a month.
"Oh, that's quite a lot. Remember not to make up the numbers and ruin the Fang family's reputation, "Fang Yundao said.
Fang Daniu heaved a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, we won't sell too much. We only sell so much in a day. We won't sell it to anyone who wants to buy it!"
Fang Yun walked back to the study and said casually, "That's all. I didn't expect there to be hunger marketing. "
"Hunger flute? I don't know how to play the flute or the zither, "Fang Daniu muttered softly as he left.
Fang Yun was amused by Fang Daniu. He looked around the study. There were doors and windows on one side and bookshelves on the other. He picked up a Records of the Grand Historian and carefully read the Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin.
A few days later, Fang Yun's official seal received a swan goose letter from Li Wenying to someone else.
Fang Yun opened it and his face sank.
