Fang Yun's heart was in turmoil. The Demon Saint's Order wasn't frightening. What was frightening was that the grassland barbarians, which required Jing Country, Wu Country, and half of Yue Country to work together to resist, were only attacking Jing Country.
The Sages of the human race had an agreement with the barbarians. Half-saints could kill each other in Saint Origin, but the Half-saint couldn't personally attack anyone below the level of Half-saint.
Once the barbarians went all out against Jingguo, the other countries would naturally send reinforcements, but they couldn't go all out. If they couldn't hold on, Jingguo would have to give up some of its territory.
In the end, if Jingguo suffered too many losses and was on the verge of collapse, the neighboring countries of Gyeongo and Wu Guo would have the right to divide Jingguo and fight against the barbarians with all their strength.
At that time, Jingguo would become history.
Fang Yun had already gone through the Moon Tree's Divine Punishment and was no longer concerned about life and death. But when he thought about how Jingguo would be gone just like that, his friends, and tens of millions of people dying in the flames of war, he still panicked.
Ao Huang flew to Fang Yun's side and asked in a low voice, "Does next year's first snow mean after the new year or next winter?"
"Next winter. Now that the barbarians have lost two Barbarian Sages and tens of millions of elite barbarians, their morale has been greatly affected. The Sages of the Demon Realm have also been exhausted from mobilizing the Moon Tree's Divine Punishment. They have to wait until next year to have enough strength. "
"This … doesn't seem good. Why is Lang Lu only targeting Jingguo?" Ao Huang asked in a low voice.
"I have my suspicions too. Wait a moment, I'll go ask. "Fang Yun said as he sent a letter to Ceng Yuan in Kong City. Ceng Yuan was a scholar of the Ceng family. As a member of a secondary saint family, he was very well-informed.
Before Fang Yun reached the Wen Battlefield. He received Ceng Yuan's reply.
"That day when we used half of the Spear of Divine Punishment to ambush the two Barbarian Sages, Lord Chen Sheng and Lord Guan Hai were in charge of stopping Lang Lu. Lang Lu once said that if Chen Sheng tried to stop him from helping, he would slaughter Jingguo. He didn't expect that Chen Sheng would actually do it. The Saints seemed to have convened an emergency meeting to discuss strategy. Fang Yun, why don't you go to the State of Qi? I've asked a few great scholars, and they all said … Jingguo has no other choice but to join Gyeongo and Wu Guo. "
Fang Yun felt a knot in his heart. He immediately replied, "Is this the result of that person from the School of Miscellany plotting against Jingguo?"
"The three grassland barbarian saints are adamantly opposed to allying with the humans. Over the years, the grassland barbarians have caused the greatest harm to the human race. That was why the Saints decided to use the remaining half of the Spear of God's Retribution to kill the other two Barbarian Saints. As for Demon Sage Wolfslaughter's goal in entering Notre-Dame's Continent. This is to prevent Sha Man and Lin Man from betraying the Demon Realm. After all, Lang Lu is the descendant of the Ancestor God. With him in Saint Origin World, no barbarian would dare to suspect anything. "
Ceng Yuan avoided talking about it. However, Fang Yun somewhat understood that this kind of matter, in the absence of conclusive evidence, he could not reveal any information.
"Thank you, Brother Ceng," Fang Yun said.
"You still have nearly a year to think about it. Don't worry. Your top priority is to become the top scholar and achieve a meteoric rise. This will be of great help to you. Next is to become the head of the nation. That's right. Next year, you may participate in the Mitani Lien Chan as a Grand Scholar. At that time, you may encounter the barbarians of the Ancestor God Clan. You must not let your guard down. "
"Yes, I understand."
Fang Yun raised his head and looked at the sky in the north. He saw that the dark clouds in the sky were beginning to change shape. They converged into a huge dark cloud in the shape of a token. It was like a huge tombstone that sealed the world.
It also pressed down on the hearts of all Jingguo citizens.
The voice of the Demon Sage's token spread throughout the entire Saint Origin World. Its influence on the human race was too great.
Fang Yun felt his mouth become even drier. Next year, he wouldn't have enough strength to write a shocking text. Even if he did have the help of the Half-saint, he wouldn't be able to do it. At most, he would only be able to summon one or two Saint Souls.
Fang Yun had already guessed that the reason why so many Half-saint awakened in the examination was because of the Moon Tree God's Punishment. It probably had something to do with the true intent of the Ancestral Dragon. Even the Ancestral Dragon was willing to help the human race. If the Saints and Saint Souls of the human race didn't do their best to help, it would destroy the faith of the human race.
Ao Huang said in a low voice: "Anyway, Lang Lu won't come looking for you this time. If Jingguo is destroyed, you can hide in the East Sea Dragon Palace and marry a dragon as your wife. Wouldn't that be great?"
"I don't want to see Jingguo destroyed." Fang Yundao said.
"Then do you have a way to fight against the billions of barbarians and the Half-saint Lang Lu in a year?"
Fang Yun fell silent.
The entire Jingguo fell into a dead silence.
Whether it was the downtown restaurants, the brothels, the private schools, the shops, or the workshops, everyone in Jingguo seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
The Half-saint Barbarian Half-saint wanted to destroy Jingguo!
Fang Yun sighed softly and said, "It's over. The essence, energy, and spirit of the Jingguo people have been completely destroyed by the Half-saint's words. If it can't be eliminated, even I can only say that Jingguo will definitely be destroyed."
Suddenly, an old and deep voice sounded. It was like a clear spring that refreshed the heart.
"Bensei will be waiting for you during the first snow next year!"
Fang Yun originally felt that the world was shrouded in dark clouds, but the voice was like a divine weapon that pierced through the dark clouds, allowing him to see the light of day again.
"Is it Chen Sheng?"
"It's Chen Sheng."
"It's Chen Sheng!"
People from all over Jingguo shouted Chen Sheng's name.
Waves of invisible power spread and reverberated in the Ten Nations, and the dark clouds in everyone's heart dissipated.
Many people instinctively straightened their backs, even though the Half-saint was threatening them!
"We have Chen Sheng!"
Countless Jingguo people repeated the same sentence in their hearts.
Fang Yun's face bloomed with a joyful smile.
Half-saint stabilized the nation!
This was Half-saint. With just one sentence, he could restore the confidence of the people of a nation.
"Ao Huang, let's go and fight." Fang Yun strode towards the battlefield with a smile.
Ao Huang was puzzled. He flicked his tail and followed Fang Yun. "You don't care about the Half-saint Token anymore?"
"I do."
"Then why are you still smiling?"
"The demons and barbarians are here. Just kill them all!" Fang Yun said firmly.
"Makes sense! If I can go to the battlefield by then, don't forget to bring me along! "Ao Huang flew behind Fang Yun.
"You're a Dragon. It's not good to go to the battlefield personally."
"It's okay, I can pretend to be a dragon."
Fang Yun broke into laughter and entered the best 'A' battlefield with Ao Huang.
There were other students from Jing Kingdom fighting in the 'jia' script battlefield. However, when they saw Fang Yun and Ao Huang enter, all the students immediately stopped fighting and bowed to Fang Yun. Then, they left the battlefield and went to another battlefield.
Fang Yun reached out to stop them, but the students insisted on leaving. They wanted to give Fang Yun more space and prevent Fang Yun's strength from being exposed.
This was the old rule of the human race.
No one complained, and no one felt wronged.
"Sigh, the human race is still very united. If we give the human race another thousand years, we will definitely be able to fight against the demons and barbarians, "Ao Huang said.
"What a pity. We don't have enough time. Come, practice with me, little dragon! "
"Hehe …" Ao Huang laughed. He rolled in the air and turned into an ordinary dragon with four claws and a horn. Then, he started to fight like a dragon.
In the first ten seconds, Ao Huang's movements were still a bit rusty, but soon, he became a qualified dragon and was even fiercer than a real dragon.
However, Fang Yun's True Dragon Sword was too powerful. Even someone as strong as Ao Huang didn't dare to fight recklessly and couldn't get close to Fang Yun. And this was when Fang Yun didn't use the legendary Hidden Edge Poem "Treasure Sword Song" and the Sword Summoning Poem "Dragon Sword Poem."
However, Fang Yun knew. If he fought Ao Huang to the death, the best result would be mutual destruction. This was because True Dragons had too many talents. Ordinary demons and barbarians couldn't compare.
After the battle, Fang Yun left the battlefield. As he walked home, he held the official seal and sent a letter to Minister Kang Ha-chuan.
"Minister, I have obtained many Sky Leaves from the Celestial Tree. I want to offer them to the human race and Jingguo. I want to set up two Sky Leaf Ointments. This year, Jing Country's Heavenly Leaf Ointment would distribute 500 Heavenly Leaves to 500 non-aristocratic high scholars. The other portion will be given to the Dongsheng Pavilion. This year, two thousand Sky Leaves will be distributed to outstanding scholars. I don't have time to deal with this matter personally, so I hope you can take care of it. "
Kang Ha-chuan quickly replied.
"Your selflessness is commendable, but Sky Leaves are rare to the human race. If you give them to the Notre-Dame, you can exchange them for military merits. If you set up the Sky Leaf Ointments, the military merits won't be as high as twenty percent of what you get if you give them to the Notre-Dame. But … in the long run, it will be very useful. You have to make a choice. "
"I understand," Fang Yun replied.
"However, it's a bit inappropriate for you to exclude the descendants of the aristocratic families. Why don't you share some with them? "
Fang Yun didn't expect Kang Ha-chuan to directly oppose him. Although his words weren't harsh, it was unusual for a great scholar to propose it.
Fang Yun always believed that learning, thinking, and changing were the foundation of success. The words of a great scholar were naturally worth learning. As for whether it was worth changing, he needed to think more.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yun replied, "Minister, you are an old man. Although my original goal was to reduce the gap between the commoners and the aristocratic families, if I don't share it with the descendants of the aristocratic families, I would be letting down the souls of the saints who helped me and the descendants of the aristocratic families who sacrificed themselves for the human race. How about this: twenty percent will be given to the descendants of the aristocratic families, and each aristocratic family will receive at least two Sky Leaves each year. "
"You're worth teaching," Kang Ha-chuan praised.
Fang Yun was even willing to give the Sky Leaves to the descendants of the Meng and Zong families. On the surface, it seemed like he was taking a loss, but in reality, he was poaching the descendants of these two families. If these aristocratic families rejected the Sky Leaves, some of their descendants would be dissatisfied. If they accepted the Sky Leaves, they would give up their opposition to Fang Yun and be isolated by their own families who hated Fang Yun.
Moreover, the person who accepted the Sky Leaves must be a genius among the High Scholars. Once this kind of genius matured, it could affect the entire aristocratic family's attitude towards Fang Yun.
Fang Yun discussed the details of the Sky Leaf Ointment with Kang Ha-chuan before returning to the study to continue studying.
However, unlike before, the books Fang Yun studied had changed. He no longer focused on the Confucian classics, but began to dabble in other books that didn't exist in the Saint Origin world.
For example, the Ming Dynasty's Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agriculture" covered farming, agriculture, water conservancy, ironware, tree planting, sericulture, animal husbandry, manufacturing, etc. It mainly covered farming and fortification, and farming and fortification were the most important subjects in the court examination.
There were also the military's "General Essentials of the Martial Classics" and Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Ji Xiao", as well as the medical's "Thousand Gold Prescriptions", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion", and "Compendium of Materia Medica", etc. They were all on Fang Yun's must-study list.
These were all subjects that were evaluated in the court examination.
When the Snow Plum Literature Meeting was about to begin in the evening, Minister Kang Ha-chuan's carriage arrived in front of Fang Yun's house. (To be continued)
