Afterwards, the important members of Jade Sea City sent Fang Yun letters one after another, all of them regarding the Fiend Race's special envoy.
Chapter 1
The provincial army's governor, Lu Hongyi, also sent a special note, saying that Li Wenying had just gone to the Notre-Dame to report on his work and would be in charge of protecting Fang Yun.
Fang Yun brought his family to the door to wait for Lu Hongyi.
There were still people giving gifts outside the door, and a permanent tea shed had already been built at the door for people to rest.
Fang Yun felt rather helpless. In truth, the number of people in Jade Sea City had already dwindled since yesterday morning. After all, everyone knew about the banquet and had already celebrated it. However, just yesterday evening, a piece of news had spread like wildfire throughout Jade Sea City.
Over a hundred students of Mingxing Academy had gathered at the Fang Gate to thank Fang Yun. Coincidentally, in yesterday's exam, seventy percent of the students had improved. The teachers and students of the academy had been looking for the reason for this for a long time, but they could not find a clue. Afterwards, a teacher casually said that it was Fang Yun's blessing.
Afterwards, the rumor that 'they wanted to worship Fang Yun in the exam' began to spread like wildfire. From today onwards, parents came one after another to give gifts. Although they were all small items or vegetables, it still made the Fang Family very lively.
After knowing the details, Fang Yun guessed that perhaps the students of that day had been influenced by the people of Jade Sea City, stimulating their desire to learn. Although it was related to him, it was definitely not as miraculous as others said.
Just this morning, Fang Yun heard many parents discussing at the door whether or not they should bring their children to participate in the new study tour of Jiang Prefecture, the Three Day Tour of the River of Enlightenment.
Fang Yun stood at the door and chatted wittily with the people coming, until a luxurious carriage pulled by ten flood dragon horses stopped in front of the door.
Governor Lu Hongyi walked out from within.
This Han Lin had white hair and rough skin. Every wrinkle on his face was weather-beaten, but his expression was resolute. His gaze seemed to contain an unshakable strength.
This was a major third rank official, while Fang Yun was a minor third rank civil marquis. Thus, he took the initiative to salute, "Subordinate Fang Yun greets Governor."
Lu Hongyi nodded, "Get in the carriage with me. Don't be more than three steps away from me, the other party is led by a snake demon king. "
Fang Yun knew Lu Hongyi's military style and said, "Yes."
The two got in the carriage and sat quietly..
After a while, Fang Yun asked, "Before Governor came, how was the grassland barbarians?"
"They were reorganizing the army and accumulating provisions. If nothing goes wrong, the grassland barbarians will head south after the Three Valley Battle this year. "
"What are our odds?"
"If the barbarians' Barbarians' Barbarians, the barbarians and barbarians.. Two Barbarians of Jingguo by the barbarians of the Barbarians by the Barbarians One.
"Where are the people from the Sacred Institute?"
... Barbarians of the barbarians of the Barbarian barbarians''s forces..... 3, Barbarians, Barbarians........... of Barbarians..
. "If the barbarians attack this year, the first to bear the brunt of the barbarians' attack will be the frontline army. How confident are they?
"If Barbarian Soldier was here, we wouldn't have a chance. But Barbarian Soldier has fallen. The barbarians have lost Half-saint, who is proficient in the art of war, so their arrangements will be lacking. And General Zhang Poyue … has a unique commanding style, and … never acts on impulse unless the barbarians' strength multiplies. Otherwise, General Zhang can easily deal with them. "
"Indeed, General Zhang's style and methods are different. I hope the barbarians can withstand it." Fang Yun smiled.
"The frontline army needs a talent like General Zhang. It's better than staying in Jadesea City." Lu Hongyi said seriously.
"That's true. What about the barbarians' descendants? "Fang Yun asked the question he was most concerned about.
Lu Hongyi turned to look at Fang Yun. He looked back and said, "The barbarians have the courage of the demons. Steal the wisdom of the human race. If the Saints are helpless, Jingguo will be defeated ten years later. Thirty years later, Wu Guo will be defeated. Fifty years later, the human race can only defend the Yangtze River, and the barbarians will take the north. "
"Sigh … I don't know if the progress of the human race can catch up to the barbarians. Sir, what do you think of joining forces with the barbarians to resist the demons? "Fang Yun asked.
"Difficult!"
Fang Yun didn't answer, and the carriage fell into silence again.
The carriage arrived at the Fu Wen Courtyard, and the two got off. A large number of officials were waiting at the door.
"Greetings Governor Lu, greetings Marquis Fang."
Lu Hongyi nodded seriously, while Fang Yun smiled and cupped his hands.
Fang Shouye walked over quickly, "Nephew, I went out a few days ago to deal with the demons, and didn't make it to the city banquet. I regret it so much! Fortunately, I made it to the bet between humans and demons, and was able to broaden my horizons. "
Fang Yun felt that the words' humans and demons' were particularly harsh, and laughed, "Killing demons is more important. There will be another city banquet next year."
Fang Shouye said seriously, "You're really determined to bet with the demons and barbarians? Don't you have other secrets? "
Lu Hongyi scolded, "If there are other secrets, how can you say it in front of everyone? Go back and stand there, this is not the place for you to reminisce! "
Fang Shouye smiled awkwardly, but he didn't get angry. He gave Fang Yun a meaningful glance, and then returned to the group of officials. “
Fang Yun laughed inwardly. This was the difference between the military and civil officials. The military could scold at any time, but once a civil official started scolding, it meant that they had already turned hostile.
"Let's go in together and wait for the demon race's special envoy. With the protection of the Holy Temple, even a Demon King can't do anything to you." Lu Hongyi didn't decline modestly, and walked in with large strides.
Fang Yun followed this tall old Han Lin into the Fu Wen Courtyard, and the others followed closely behind.
After everyone entered the Fu Wen Courtyard, Feng Zimo threw the official seal of the Fu Wen Courtyard to Fang Yun. The seal flew above Fang Yun and disappeared. Then, a white light descended from the sky and landed on Fang Yun's body before disappearing as well.
It was an autumn afternoon in Jadesea City, and the sky was clear without a cloud for ten thousand li. Some sunlight shone on the Fu Wen Courtyard.
There was a large table made of red sandalwood at the center of the courtyard, and comfortable armchairs were placed on the south and east sides of the table. On the east side, besides the armchairs, there were several hundred ordinary chairs.
"Let's sit first. Fang Yun, you sit at the main seat of the Human Race's negotiation table," Supervisor Lu said.
Fang Yun didn't refuse and sat at the east side of the table. Lu Hongyi sat to his left, while Prefect Dong Wencong and the Fu Wen Courtyard's Lord Feng Zimo sat to his left, leaving the right side empty. The other officials sat in ordinary chairs at the back.
"Fang Yun, you don't need to be afraid. All of Jadesea City supports you! The soldiers that came with me also said that they will send you gifts tomorrow, "Fang Shouye said.
Fang Yun was already used to receiving gifts. Every day, he would choose some fresh food to eat and give some to his neighbors. The leftover fruits and vegetables would be given to the charity hall, and the four treasures of the study would be given to the students of the various academies.
Fang Yun asked Dong Wencong, "Prefect Dong, is this a Demonic King from the snake race?"
Dong Wencong said, "Yes, and it is a very famous Demonic King in Two World Mountain. His name is She Li, and the Great Scholars of the Human Race have tried to kill him many times, but to no avail. This snake has an extraordinary status, and is the son of the Snake Sage. "
"So it is a Saint Child of the Demonic Race. No wonder even the Great Scholars couldn't do anything to him." Fang Yun thought of the snake demon Saint Child of the Sixth Corridor. If not for the snake demon Saint Child underestimating Fang Yun's group and trying to kill them all, it would have been able to kill at least half of the High Scholars with its poisonous demonic arts.
Supervisor Lu said, "This Demonic King is very famous, and is very fierce. Two World Mountain has listed a few demonic races, and they are strictly ordered to flee if they see one. Furthermore, they will not be punished by military law. She Li is one of them. "
Fang Yun asked, "Since She Li is so powerful, does Two World Mountain allow Hanlin and those below to flee if they see one?"
However, Supervisor Lu said, "If the Great Scholars meet him alone, they can also flee."
Everyone was shocked, as they did not expect She Li to be so fierce.
Dong Wencong said, "She Li once defeated the Great Scholar who was ranked sixth on the Great Scholar Hunting List in a head-on battle. He even fought with Duke Jian Mei for a quarter of an hour. Of course, Duke Jian Mei is definitely stronger than him now. "
Fang Yun and the rest were even more surprised. The Snake Race was not good at head-on battles, and they were good at sneak attacks. She Li was so strong in a head-on battle. If he were to sneak attack, he could kill the top three on the Great Scholar Hunting List.
While everyone was chatting, an ear-piercing eagle cry came from the sky.
Fang Yun felt pain in his eardrums, and his face was full of anger. Even he, who had been baptized by talent five times, felt pain in his eardrums. Those Xiucai, Tong Scholars, and even those without official positions would definitely be hurt.
Fang Yun immediately scanned the nearby yamen runners, and a few of them felt dizzy. Fortunately, they had the power of the Divine Temple. Without it, these people would have immediately lost their hearing.
"How dare you be so impudent!" Lu Hongyi opened his mouth, and a Spear of Talent shot out, attacking the rapidly approaching giant eagle in the sky.
A black shadow knocked away Lu Hongyi's War of Words, and a soft and sharp voice sounded in the sky, spreading throughout the entire Wen Institute.
"The human race is indeed lowly. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Fang Yun immediately said, "I heard that the Demon Race likes to find opponents who are on par with them. In this battle, the Demon King of the Demon Race defeated an ordinary runner who is not even a Tong Scholar. Demon King She Li can boast for a few more years."
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you humans!"
A giant eagle that was over a hundred feet long descended from the sky. On the back of the giant eagle sat a giant snake.
The giant snake's body was covered in red and black rings, and each of its scales reflected a metallic luster. The triangular snake head was larger than a table that could fit ten people. Its eyes, which were about the size of a human head, emitted a coldness that only a predator would have. It scanned the crowd with contempt.
An evil and cold aura was emitted from the Demon King's body. Without the protection of the Divine Temple, everyone except Lu Hongyi would have their guts and palaces damaged.
The giant eagle's descent stirred up a strong wind. Feng Yuanjun scolded, and the energy formed by the giant eagle immediately dissipated.
The giant eagle landed, and the giant snake slithered down. Fang Yun roughly estimated that the snake was more than a hundred feet long.
She Li spat out its bright red tongue, and its eyes flashed as it looked at the crowd.
