Chapter 284 Chapter 284: Zixu, there is no one [Requesting monthly votes]
"Zixu, there is no one? This way of scribes sounds a bit strange. Could it be that the Yan'an we saw is not the deity but an incarnation?" Shen Tang suddenly felt his head. Ren'er was in pain. This world is full of weird abilities.
Is there a way out for science here?
I'm afraid the coffin boards have been nailed shut.
Gong Shuwu nodded first, then shook his head, leaving Shen Tang confused as to what it meant.
Fortunately, Gong Shuwu didn't deliberately sell out.
"If Yan'an didn't lie back then, my lord guessed that it would be eight [nine] and ten, but if he lied, it would be hard to tell." Gong Shuwu paused and asked, "My lord thinks As a literary scholar, Yan'an will fully explain the truth? "
It's not that he intends to make a fool of himself, but that the average person of the literary scholar group has three properties because of "the cunning rabbit has three holes."
Especially when it comes to such private trump cards as the way of the scribes, outsiders cannot easily figure it out, and they must always keep a secret.
Gong Shuwu tends to have reservations about banquet.
Shen Tang: "How is the friendship between Banbu and Yan Xingning?"
"I have said a few words, but if I insist on saying it, it should be 'half-baked'." Gong Shuwu made a rare joke, "Yan'an His father was a famous scholar of the Xin State and a court official of the Xin State. Although it was just a sinecure with little real power, he With a high status and reputation among the scholars, those who want to become disciples can get through the door of their family, but Yanan became famous at a young age, and it is difficult to figure it out. "
Gong Shuwu is a compatriot of the head of the Gong family. My younger brother is also a highly regarded military attache, so he naturally belongs to the popular diamond king Laowu in the capital. However, he is older than Yan'an, and they are not of the same generation. One is civilized and the other military, so there is a generation gap in communication.
"Yan'an once said in public that his way of being a scribe is 'nothing', and the effect is similar to the 'half-hearted' words and spirit of the literati. However, the latter can only exist for a short time, and only for a short period of time. The human form is blurred, but the former is a real illusion. He can create a literary avatar that is almost as fake as the real one, and the avatar can also walk outside. "
This scribe's way seems to be magical, but in fact it is very useless. I also said that it was of no use except being lazy.
Chu Yao grasped the key point.
“Said in public?”
What is the way of a scribe?
The Wen Xin Scholar’s trump card.
At the critical moment, there might be a trump card that could turn the tables against the wind, or even save his own life. How could Yanan say it in public so carelessly? It’s just a matter of confessing in public, and he also talked about his abilities in detail. How can this be considered abnormal?
Gong Shuwu carefully recalled the scene at that time.
Explained: "I remember it was at a palace night banquet. The old king wanted to show off to envoys from other countries."
To put it simply, the neighboring countries were bragging about a young man in their country who was less than ten years old. Ba Bian had a special ability as a scribe, and he made the host of the Xin Kingdom look down on him. In the end, it was Yanan who stepped up to win the game.
Yan'an is even younger.
Sixteen to obtain, eighteen to master, and twenty to achieve great success.
The way of the scribe is not so easy to control.
Yan'an's words aroused the envoy's doubts.
So Yanan confessed his ability as a scribe in public. Gong Shuwu was also present at the time, and he remembered it particularly deeply - if this ability were used to commit suicide, who could withstand it?
Furthermore, his scribe’s name is also special.
【There is nothing in it】
It's completely based on Gong Shuwu's aesthetic point of view.
Shen Tang was curious about the gossip: "The literary spirit of 'double-mindedness' can create two literary incarnations, one mind and three uses, but the duration is short, while Yan Xingning's literary incarnation can run around freely... ...Then how many incarnations of literary spirit can he have at most?”
I’m really envious.
Gong Shuwu Dao: "He said it was two ways."
But there was written in his eyes——
No dog would believe the words of the literary scholar.
Shen Tang: "Back then, there were two paths. Now after so many years, I conservatively estimate that there are six paths. Including me, there are seven in total. Good guy, he can be used as seven people."< br>
What a great 996, 007 player...
The contemporary king of roll kings!
Gong Shuwu: "..."
Chu Yao: "..."
Is this the only thing your lord cares about?
Even if one person can serve as seven people, he is still serving others, and it is useless to envy him.
The pattern opens——
Gong Shuwu: "It doesn't matter whether there are two incarnations of Wenqi or six. What is important is that when the incarnation of Wenqi dies, I will know about it. It's not time to alert the snake. When you are here, Yanan should be avoided as much as possible..."
Even though his name is Yan'an and his courtesy name is Xingning, he would be thought to be an elegant scholar with a "quiet years" type - any famous literary scholar does not rely on his appearance or good temper to get out of the circle, the greater his reputation. The more ruthless.
Shen Tang naturally understands this truth.
When Gong Shuwu said that the messenger Yan Xingning was not the original deity, she gave up the idea of letting him have an "accident".
One of the principles of killing and silencing is to kill an incarnation of a literary spirit without endangering the true person.
Why is she going to all that trouble?
Shen Tang is more concerned about Yan'an's purpose of coming.
Who are you here for?
Why come?
Could it be that some of you were exposed? Yan'an guessed that the piece of Xin Kingdom's national seal in Gong Shuwu's hand was in his own hand?
This is about her life and fortune.
"Tell me, did Yan'an discover anything?"
"There must be suspicion, otherwise he wouldn't have tried every possible means." Speaking of this, Chu Yao was secretly glad that he had planned for a rainy day and asked Qi Shan to help everyone. I made a disguise, I didn’t expect it It came in handy, "But he has no evidence, we have to calm down."
Shen Tang nodded. Since Yan'an's scribe's ways are hard to guard against, she suggested what to do these days. Stop for a few days and make full preparations before entering Heyin to take office.
Relatively large movements will be temporarily suspended for a day or two.
By the way——
"Should we check the password?"
Chu Yao was not so nervous, and even teased a little relaxedly: "Yeah, that's okay, the password will be decided by Wu Lang?"
Shen Tang was excited : "Yes."
When Gu Chi received several sheets of "Essentials for Qi Min" written silently by Chu Yao, he found that there was an extra sentence at the beginning -
[How old is Wu Lang? 】
[How tall is Goro? 】
Gu Chi: "???"
Is the style of "Qi Min Ya Shu" wrong?
Ask again, this is a code.
In the future, the Blue Bird will use this as a number when sending messages or meeting each other.
The wrong answer is Yanan pretending to be!
Gu Chi: "..."
What kind of secret code is this?
The "correct answer" is also thoughtfully included at the back.
[Secret], [Secret]
Gu Chi: […Where’s the answer to the secret code? 】
Chu Yao: [...It’s the ‘secret’. 】
Gu Chi: "..."
He has something to say, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not.
I am afraid that the three heroes of the Chu State in those days did not eat too much pancakes from Shen Tang, and they had a little bit of pancakes just like her!
Kang Shi only knew that Yan An had come after receiving a message from Qing Niao. He frowned slightly, thankful that he was not there at the time. Otherwise, being bumped into by Yan'an might bring trouble to the lord. After all, Yan'an is not a good person.
I am also glad that Shen Tang can keep his composure.
Otherwise, this matter will not be revealed so easily.
Yang Duwei took a sip of warm rice wine, and when he saw Kang Shi, his expression was solemn, and asked: "Is this Yan'an so difficult?"
"Yan Xingning's scribe's way is not the same. Uncle Gong said it so simply. The so-called "incarnation of literary spirit" is just a fiction he deliberately made up to hide his clumsiness. Since it is fiction, it naturally does not exist..."
Captain Yang was a little confused when he heard this.
"Why exactly?"
Kang Shi said, "I don't know either."
He didn't have many friends, and because of his scribe's ways, he didn't have many friends. . He became good friends with Yan'an and often moved around when they were young, because Yan'an's scribe's ways could restrain him. But Kang Shi did not have a close relationship with him.
Captain Yang was surprised: "You don't know either?"
Then how can you say that Gong Shuwu is wrong?
Kang Shi said: "It's just speculation and intuition."
Yang Duwei insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
“Tell me and listen.”
"It's just a guess, just listen to it, don't take it seriously -" Kang Shi poured himself a bowl of wine in a funny manner, took a sip, and tasted it carefully, not forgetting to give Captain Yang an injection in advance, "Fan Banquet" An's father once revealed to a friend after drinking that Yan An's scribe's way can subvert the cause and effect of reality and reality, but it is still unknown to what extent it can be achieved. "
Yang Duwei still doesn't understand.
"False and real cause and effect?"
"Let the false become true or the true become false." Kang Shi said, "I only heard about it, it's hard to say whether it is true or false."< br>
Duwei Yang had an expression of "I believe you have a ghost" - is it so easy to "hear" this kind of secret? Who spread it? The father of Huanyanan made a gaffe after drinking and revealed...
After getting along with each other for a while, it became clear that Kang Shi was not such a careless person. What he said was half true and half false.
Captain Yang licked it carefully.
Virtual reality...
Cause and effect...
From a literal perspective, it is not simple.
Captain Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered: "Today's young disciples are really more difficult to deal with."
Thinking about when he was young, although there were many talented scribes, most of the scribes' ways were quite satisfactory. Now——
It’s really a chaos of demons.
For a moment, Captain Yang didn't know whether to be grateful or regretful. He was born more than ten years earlier and was not of the same generation as them. I'm glad I don't have to touch them, but I'm sorry I can't fight them.
Kang Shi smiled.
I just felt a little worried.
At the same time——
The messenger and his party were not as worried as Shen Tang.
After they finished their work, they left straight away, but not very fast, slowly, and there was no sign of the urgency of coming day and night. Yan'an asked: "Is there any movement?"
The other person replied: "No."
The night passed and there was still no movement.
Yan Anxin felt suspicious, but had no choice but to give up - he had seen this Shen Youli in person, and there was indeed nothing unusual about it. At most, he was smaller, more immature, and his eyes were cleaner. Those carefully cultivated by wealthy families are more like the reeds growing wildly on the river beach, with vigorous vitality and a vitality that can infect people.
He said: "Go back and recover."
Yan'an waved his hand and disappeared into the distance. The strange thing was that the remaining people didn't seem to see it or follow him.
The group of fourteen people just stopped for a moment and then started on the road again. Occasionally they could hear one or two whispers of conversation.
It seems that they completed the mission too quickly?
At the same moment——
Yan An, who was far away in the capital, paused slightly.
I was lost in thought for a moment and then continued writing.
There are piles of things on the desk waiting to be dealt with.
Eighty percent of them are trivial matters, such as the auspiciousness of a birth in a certain place, or the birth of a son who can speak, which must be a blessing from heaven to protect the king of the country for a long time; such as the officials of a certain place greetings and crying about poverty; such as flattering a horse.
The rest is to report good news but not bad news.
But——
How can Yanan not know what the situation is like in various places?
I was so angry that I even wanted to scold him with a pen, but I couldn't because Yan'an was not the leader of the country, but Zheng Qiao was. As for how the things that were supposed to be handled by Zheng Qiao ended up on his desk?
You have to ask his good junior brother Zheng Qiao.
Those who are capable work hard.
Since Senior Brother Yan'an has this intention, Zheng Qiao doesn't have to find something to do for himself and throws away government affairs.
I played in the palace every day, either having banquets with the courtiers, or racing horses and hunting Cuju Chuiwan...
The day before yesterday, a horseman was given a title on the spot because of his good Chuiwan skills. Although it is only the lowest level, it is ridiculous enough. The other courtiers, like sharks that smelled the scent of blood, fell in love with him one after another, sending people everywhere to recruit young beauties and offering them singers who were good at singing and dancing in the palace - of course, in this name, they would inevitably get something out of their own pockets.
Yanan often wants to kill people with a sword.
Zheng Qiao came over to take a look and saw that he was filled with murderous intent and said, "Who could make Senior Brother unhappy and have such murderous intent."
Yan An did not answer.
Zheng Qiao was quite bored.
Just before leaving, he asked: "Senior brother asked Zixu to see Shen Youli, right? How about it?"
Yan'an's eyelids trembled when he heard this.
He said: "There is nothing wrong with this person."
Zheng Qiao sneered: "If there is a problem, I am not afraid of it."
Yan An looked at the big change. The junior brother couldn't help but said: "If this continues, you are not afraid of dying without a burial place?"
Zheng Qiao sneered and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It doesn't matter if I am alone."
Yan'an looked angry.
Zheng Qiao turned a blind eye and even smiled with a slightly proud tone: "Even if I die, I will let all the courtiers bury and die for me, especially the old officials of the Xin State. Senior brother, there is no need If you worry too much, you will never be lonely on the road to Huangquan."
Yan An pursed her lips and watched Zheng Qiao stride away.
“Wait!”
"Senior brother, what's the matter?"
"About the previous court discussion..."
Zheng Qiao thought for a moment and said: "What are you talking about? If senior brother can persuade them to take out their pockets, , I will not stop you.”
It was previously discussed to check the accounts of the grain depot and open the warehouse to release grain.
However, there has always been opposition.
Zheng Qiao deliberately condoned it for the sake of stability.
The court officials did not completely deny it, but they just delayed it. They used various delaying methods. A group of people tacitly played the ball and deliberately blocked Yanan. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, with the first snow falling in various places, if we don't solve it, I don't know how many people will die this winter.
Yan An asked again: "If I want to kill someone..."
Zheng Qiao: "Senior brother is free to do so, but if they catch him, in order to stabilize his position, he must endure hardship."
He didn’t put it too bluntly.
But Yanan could hear the subtext.
If this "bitter" killed Yan'an, he would also die in order to appease the "public anger".
After Zheng Qiao left, Yanan was alone for a quarter of an hour before suppressing the negative anger rolling in his heart. He looked in the direction of the door and murmured into the void: "Wuyou, how long will it take?"
After a while.
He added: "Two years is enough."
——————
Two days later.
Shen Tang woke up and found that the air temperature was much colder.
Pushing the door open, dense fine snow is blowing in the wind.
It fell on the face and was cold to the bone.
