Fang Yun had gained the upper hand with a show of strength, so he should have a sense of propriety, like drawing a bow but not unleashing it. He should only make a move at the crucial moment. If he pressed on before the battle had even begun, it would be impolite and give others a reason to criticize him.
"Wenying, long time no see, your temper is still so fiery. We are scholars, not demons and barbarians. Before the battle, why don't we have a chat and drink together? "Sheng State Magistrate smiled.
"We Jingguo people are very busy. To the north there are grassland barbarians, to the east there are sea tribes, to the south there is Jiao Dragon Palace, to the west there is Desolate Demon Mountain. We are not as carefree as you Gyeongo people. This time, the Wen Duel will be held tonight. If there is no Wen Duel tonight, we will immediately return to Jing Country and announce that our country's Fang Yunwen is suppressing Xi Province. Unexpectedly, there isn't a single good man in the dignified Xi Province! "Li Wenying's words were like spring thunder that everyone in the city could hear clearly.
The entire Chang Ning Prefecture was in an uproar. Countless people rushed to the State Wen Institute.
The people on both sides of the roadblock shouted, and there were even High Scholars shouting for the battle.
Sheng State Magistrate still had a smile on his face, and said, "Duke Jian Mei, you are wrong. Fang Yun came prepared, so he can start the battle immediately. But Xi Prefecture is a thousand miles wide, and it will take a long time for the other High Scholars to arrive. Since we are going to have a battle of wits, we have to wait for the other High Scholars to arrive. Otherwise, even if Fang Yun wins, it will only be a battle of wits. "
Li Wenying looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled, and said, "Grand Magistrate, you mean that the High Scholars who will fight with me will come from all over Xi Prefecture? At that time, if the people who will fight with me are all in Chang Ning Prefecture, can I suspect that Gyeongo people are lying? "
"After the High Scholars arrive in Xi Prefecture, they will have to go through a selection process. As for who will participate in the battle, no one can say for sure. "Sheng State Magistrate said.
"Just as Duke Jian Mei said, we Jingguo people are very busy! After midnight. We will immediately return to Jingguo. I am here for the battle of wits, not to talk nonsense with you! I'll wait on the boat! "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he turned around and boarded the boat, leaving a group of Gyeongo scholars in a daze.
Li Fanming chuckled from behind. "You didn't fall into their trap. They're obviously stalling for time, dragging you down until your heart is disturbed. Then, he could make a decisive move. Now that you're so decisive, they're panicking instead. They must find someone to fight you before midnight. "
Fang Yun did not answer. They continued to board the ship.
Sheng Prefecture Overseer shouted, "Fang Yun, what are you doing? Are you scared? We'll send someone to fight you. Come back. "
However, Fang Yun acted as if he didn't hear anything and kept walking forward. Many people found it strange. He followed behind.
Sheng Prefecture Overseer gave a look to a young High Scholar beside him. The young High Scholar immediately shouted, "Fang Yun, I want to fight you, why don't you dare to come back! If you're scared, let's end the battle! "
Fang Yun immediately turned around and said, "Alright, let's start the battle. If this High Scholar doesn't fight me in a hundred breaths, I'll take it as my win. If no one comes after every hundred breaths. I'll take it as my win! "
Sheng Prefecture Overseer's face sank. "What do you think the battle of wits is? This is related to … "
Fang Yun rudely interrupted, "I'm only asking if you're going to fight now or not?"
"Allow me to finish my words! The battle of wits is … "
Fang Yun did not say another word. He turned around and left again. No matter what Sheng Prefecture Overseer said, he did not look back.
After boarding the boat and isolating the inside from the outside, Shi Tang asked, "Are you sure they'll delay?"
Fang Yun said as he walked, "If I turn around now, Sheng Prefecture Overseer will definitely continue to delay. That young High Scholar might even give up on the battle of wits. When I first met them, I already guessed their intentions. They want to waste my energy and disturb my heart. Even if they send a battle of wits at midnight, they'll keep delaying. But I'll go back to the boat to sleep and conserve my energy. No matter what they say, I won't get off the boat, completely destroying their delaying strategy. When the airship appeared, the battle of wits had already begun! "
"That makes sense. When you were in Kong City, the people of Gyeongo were probably already preparing to deal with you. You probably didn't stay idle on the boat. "
"But if they copy you and don't appear at midnight, it'll be hard to convince the masses that you can defeat them."
"They'll definitely appear. If they don't, they'll lose the chance to wash away the humiliation of the battle of wits. As I said, the battle of wits has already begun. "
Everyone expressed their agreement. The Kong family had gifted the airship, clearly marking Fang Yun's trip as "legitimate". If the people of Gyeongo and the Xun family did not fight, it would still be considered Fang Yun's victory. Thus, the Xun family could only defeat Fang Yun in the battle of wits to prevent their reputation from being tarnished.
"Sleep well. We'll call you at midnight," Li Wenying said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you," Fang Yun said as he entered the cabin. He immediately laid down on the bed without any burden.
Outside the airship, the scholars of Xi Province finally stopped smiling as they did at the beginning. Instead, they began to mock and ridicule him. However, they guaranteed that they wouldn't escalate to the level of insults. Unfortunately, Fang Yun couldn't hear them at all.
After a while, the people of Gyeongo realized that their delaying strategy had failed and had to discuss other countermeasures.
No matter what the people of Gyeongo said, Fang Yun didn't get off the boat. It wasn't until midnight that Fang Yun woke up. Then, he stretched his body and walked out of the cabin.
Everyone was already waiting on the deck. Without further ado, they followed Fang Yun down the boat again.
This time, what awaited Fang Yun were no longer smiling faces. Instead, they were filled with contempt, ridicule, and anger.
Fang Yun remained unmoved. Whether it was the smiles from before or the contempt now, they were all Gyeongo's tactics to confuse him. Fang Yun saw through everything. If the people of Gyeongo really liked being upright and upright, they wouldn't have suppressed Jingguo for decades.
Fang Yun glanced at the sky and then looked around. He found that the number of people nearby had not decreased. Instead, it had increased.
In front of the State Academy of Arts was a square. On both sides of the square were Academy Streets. In front of the square were the back walls of the houses. However, there were many people standing on the roofs of the houses. The people behind the barricades were even more packed. The barricades could no longer stop them. Hundreds of bailiffs were there to maintain order.
As soon as Fang Yun appeared, the people of Gyeongo began to curse. Often, they would curse in unison. It was obvious that someone was controlling them. Fang Yun couldn't help but think of the spectators at the sporting events. Using jeering or shouting to help one's side suppress the other's competitors, it had a great psychological impact on the competitors.
The Academy of Arts was too important in the State. The people of Gyeongo had to use all means to ensure success.
Fang Yun understood everything. Not only did he not care, he even pulled the rabbit's ear to tease it. This made the rabbit very unhappy. It took the opportunity to pretend to be wronged and asked Li Fanming for a large carrot to eat.
When the older people of Gyeongo saw Fang Yun's actions, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's not use those little tricks. This child's experience is broad and his determination is strong. He has already surpassed the average high scholar. These kinds of tricks are useless against him. On the contrary, people will look down on us Gyeongo. "
"He looks like he's playing with the rabbit, but he's actually using the rabbit to play with us."
"The arrow has already been nocked, so it has to be shot. We still have to use those tricks. I don't believe that he's a stone man and won't be moved at all! "
The Sheng State Magistrate no longer had his previous smile. He said coldly, "Fang Zhenguo has such a big temper. He made all the people of Xi State wait for you! "
"Ah? Who was it that said there wasn't enough time? There's going to be a consort selection … no, a candidate selection. I'm giving you time. There's about six hours from dawn to midnight. I've already done all I can. "Fang Yun smiled kindly.
The people behind Fang Yun laughed. When Fang Yun said "consort selection", he was insinuating that Gyeongo's high scholars weren't like men. Although the people of Gyeongo didn't like it, they weren't so easily provoked. They pretended not to hear.
The Sheng State Magistrate snorted and said, "Enough nonsense! The Academy of Arts is about to begin! Since you're the one who started the Academy of Arts. According to the rules, we'll choose the Academy of Arts and choose whether to 'propose a ban'. Xun Xu, you and Fang Yun will have a Academy of Arts battle. "
A young high scholar in his twenties walked in front of Fang Yun. This person had a big nose and looked at Fang Yun with a very gentle gaze. He cupped his hands and smiled, "I've long heard of Fang Zhenguo's name, but I've never had the chance to meet you. Today, I'm lucky to have met you. I didn't want to have a Academy of Arts battle with you, but I have to obey the orders of my elders. I hope that Fang Zhenguo will show mercy and not kill me. "
Fang Yun was too lazy to put on an act and said, "I believe you. Let's begin."
Xun Xu's expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll begin. For the first Academy of Arts battle, I won't choose 'Literary Courage' or 'Talent'. I'll choose 'Poetry Battle', but I can't use my own Poetry Battle! I'll ban 'Literary Heart'! "
Fang Yun's gaze turned cold. Banning 'Literary Heart' meant that neither side could use their Literary Heart. This meant that the fact that he had a High Grade Literary Heart had been leaked, or at least the Xun family knew about it. As for whether it was leaked on purpose or accidentally, there was no way to verify.
Not being able to write one's own Poetry Battle was even more sinister.
Fang Yun had only been a Xiucai for less than half a year, and he had also become a High Scholar in the Holy Ground. There was no way he could go to the Holy Temple to learn High Scholar Poetry Battle. If he agreed to the Sheng Province Magistrate's suggestion, then Fang Yun would only be able to write the 'Song of Yi Shui', and he wouldn't be able to use a High Grade Literary Heart, so he would definitely die.
However, his opponent was different. Xun Xu had been a High Scholar for many years, so he must have learned many High Scholar Poetry Battle in the Holy Temple. A High Scholar Poetry Battle against an Elementary Scholar Poetry Battle, there was no need to compete to determine the outcome.
Fang Yundao said, "Banning 'Literary Heart' is a common tactic in Academy of Arts battles, but your 'not writing one's own Poetry Battle' is clearly a suggestion to ban. Both sides can only choose once if they want to ban. By proposing and banning, you're going against the Notre-Dame's Academy of Arts rules. "
"Oh, then the 'not writing one's own Poetry Battle' suggestion will be abolished. The ban will be changed to 'not writing one's own Poetry Battle'," Xun Xu said.
Fang Yun snorted. This was clearly Gyeongo's alternative plan, and it was equally sinister.
Mo Shan said unhappily, "Gyeongo people are very smart. After this suggestion is banned, Fang Yun's Poetry Battle can only be written in two ways. The first is to use 'Literary Heart' to quickly write the 'Song of Yi Shui'. You all know that no one can compare to the High Scholar in terms of Literary Heart, but the 'Song of Yi Shui' is only average. It's very likely that the opponent will dodge it, and then the opponent will use a powerful High Scholar Battle Poem to attack Fang Yun. The second way is for Fang Yun to write his own Poetry Battle, but he can't use 'Literary Heart'. At this time, the opponent can use 'Literary Heart' to write the Holy Temple Battle Poem. If they are faster than Fang Yun, Fang Yun will definitely lose. "
"In other words, Fang Yun can only use 'Literary Heart' to write the 'Song of Yi Shui'?"
