On New Year's Eve, Fang Yun didn't need to go to the academy to study, nor did he need to cultivate. Instead, he lazily sat in the courtyard of the southern courtyard.
Thanks to the power of the Divine Temple, the sky above the capital had always been clear. The warm winter sun shone on the courtyard, making people feel exceptionally comfortable.
The southern courtyard was too big. Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan's new residence was originally a courtyard, but after the door was opened, it was equivalent to living together.
The Fang family members weren't used to the large spring garden, but they could only temporarily live here before the "Duke Zhen Residence" was completed.
After moving, the Fang family members also slowly changed.
In the beginning, the spring garden only had the original Fang family members and the people who cleaned and protected it. Gradually, people from the Fang family of the Grand Source Residence moved in.
These people were all reliable people that Fang Shouye's and Cai He's wives had helped to choose.
As Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan's status rose, even if they wanted to live a simple life, they still had to take care of all aspects. A noble family had at least hundreds of servants. Even though the Fang family had just become the Xusheng Noble Family, they still couldn't have less than a hundred servants.
It was easy to choose a hundred servants, but it was too difficult to find someone who had a clean family background, was upright, had no bad habits, and was knowledgeable.
In Ji County and the Grand Source Residence, there was a craze for "marrying into a noble family". Countless people wanted to send their children to Fang Yun's family, and they even didn't hesitate to bribe Madam Fang and Madam Cai. However, the two madams knew the importance of this matter. Fang Yun was the Xusheng!
In all of Jingguo, the person with the highest status was Chen Guanhai, and the second was Fang Yun!
Now, even the Empress Dowager and the king were below Fang Yun in terms of status!
If Fang Yun attended the morning court, Fang Yun would sit first among the officials, and even Prime Minister Kang Ha-chuan would sit behind him.
The two madams knew that there was a sword above their heads called the "Punishment Hall". Everyone who was chosen would be examined by the Legalist scholars of the Punishment Hall. If there was a problem, the Punishment Hall would investigate the ten clans and five generations.
In just a few short days, the Punishment Hall had already found out that five people were suspicious. These people did not have any ulterior motives, but the people behind them were either related to Gyeongo, Prince Kang, the Left Prime Minister, or Wu Guo.
Even if the barbarians and demons wanted to intervene in this matter, they were powerless.
Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao, Zhao Hongzhuang, and the palace maids were in charge of the family affairs. Fang Yun hardly needed to intervene. He was completely a hands-off boss at home, but the private soldiers were different.
Fang Yun's private army was stationed in a town in the southern suburbs of the capital. This town was a "private army town" that was very common in the Ten Nations. Many scholars raised their private soldiers and their families in such places.
Every country did not allow a large number of private soldiers, especially demon and barbarian private soldiers, to live in the cities.
The number of private soldiers provided by the military was two thousand. All of them were elite soldiers and strong generals. There were no changes. However, the number of private soldiers of the barbarians had exceeded the original calculation.
The Dragons were more generous than he imagined.
There were more than four hundred barbarian private soldiers given by the aristocratic families and dragon bloodline barbarians given by the East Ocean Dragon Palace. There were also ten Demon Turtle Commanders given by the Dragons. These ten Demon Turtle Commanders all had pseudo-dragon bloodlines and their defensive abilities were stronger than that of the Saints and Demon Marquises. They were specially used to protect Fang Yun.
At present, Fang Yun's private army consisted of five Barbarian Marquises, 50 Barbarian Commanders, and 420 Barbarian Generals. One of the Barbarian Marquises was mainly responsible for protecting Yang Yuhuan.
Four hundred private soldiers did not seem to be a lot, but the lowest ranking demon was a Barbarian General. The highest was a Barbarian Marquis.
A Barbarian Marquis was equivalent to a human Hanlin. Generally speaking, a Hanlin could lead at least 10,000 soldiers!
In other words, Fang Yun's four hundred private soldiers … They could at least fight against 30,000 human soldiers!
This private army was extremely powerful for ordinary Confucian scholars, and Fang Yun was only a Jinshi.
With this private army, Fang Yun would be safe in Ning An County. He would be safe even if he went to the front line.
Even if a Barbarian King came, this private army would be able to perish together with the Barbarian King!
"Xusheng's treatment is indeed different from the rest." Fang Yun thought about his private soldiers and then looked at the good stuff in the River Shell. A large number of valuable gifts were stored in it, including what he had obtained from the Holy Ground, what he had obtained from the Dragon Platform, and important congratulatory gifts from various families.
Not long after, Yang Yuhuan walked over with light steps.
"Little Yun, it's time for lunch."
"Okay." Fang Yun opened his eyes and waved at Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan secretly looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she blushed and sat on Fang Yun's lap.
"Don't let Ao Huang see you. That mouth of his can anger people to death," Yang Yuhuan said softly.
"It's okay. He went to participate in the Spring Festival so he's not here. But he'll be back soon," Fang Yun stroked Nuhu.
The little fox was like a docile kitten lying between Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan.
"Ah? He's participating in the Spring Festival? Didn't he write a poem called 'Plum Plum Poem' a few days ago and was laughed at? "
"Yes, that 'one piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces' and finally 'disappeared into the mud' was indeed laughed at by everyone."
Fang Yun shook his head helplessly. In his previous life, he had also heard of a poem similar to Ao Huang's poem. It was originally used to teach children numbers, but it was later said to be written by some famous scholars or emperors. Some even said that the last line of the poem was not bad, making everyone laugh.
Just as Fang Yun was chatting, the rebellious scholar Feng Chengjue was paying his respects to the Spirit Demon Emperor.
The palace that was razed by the power of the Great Oath of Two Worlds was being rebuilt, but the main hall was already completed.
Feng Chengjue half knelt on the ground and looked up at the Spirit Demon Emperor who was covered in golden armor.
The Spirit Demon Emperor's entire body, including his fingers, was covered in golden armor. Only the eyes of the helmet were left open.
"Your majesty, please allow me to sneak into Saint Origin World and kill Fang Yun!"
"Fang Yun has become bait, it's not a good time to make a move."
"Doesn't that mean we'll just let Fang Yun grow? Fang Yun's talent far surpasses the Four Great Scholars. If he's given fifty years … No, only thirty years, he can surpass the Ten Literati Master and take the title of Literary Hero! He might even surpass Yi Zhi Shi in the future! The higher his position, the greater the threat he poses to the Spirit Demon Realm! Some even say that he will be the next Confucius! Others don't know … "
"Don't talk nonsense about this!" The Spirit Demon Emperor interrupted Feng Chengjue.
Feng Chengjue obediently shut his mouth and lowered his head.
As one of the Four Great Scholars of the previous generation, Feng Chengjue was so angry that he smashed his study room when he learned that Li Wenying, who was far inferior to him, was given the title of Great Scholar. The chances of a rebel becoming a Great Scholar was very small. But if he could kill Fang Yun and get the help of the Great Sage or even the Ancestor God, he would have a great chance of becoming a Great Scholar.
Feng Chengjue really wanted to become a Great Scholar and become the second Great Scholar.
"But, are we going to give up on Fang Yun?"
"Before Barbarian Soldier died, he left behind three plans …" The Spirit Demon Emperor suddenly shut his mouth.
Feng Chengjue suddenly raised his head and looked at the Spirit Demon Emperor in confusion, "I heard that Barbarian Soldier only left behind two plans. The first was to set up an inescapable net during the Spring Hunt. The second was the plan of Mitani Lien Chan. Especially the second plan, it could be said to be perfect. Why would there be a third plan? "
"The third plan is for …"
Only the Spirit Demon Emperor's voice could be heard in the empty Spirit Demon Palace. Feng Chengjue listened carefully. Other than him, no one knew what the Spirit Demon Emperor was talking about. Floating astronomy.
