Originally, Meng Kuyin thought that the Kong Brothers would interfere with it, and even if Yunlu was finally returned, they would continue to cause trouble and delay time.
But it was unexpected that Kong Kaiping's meeting with them went so smoothly, and even Meng Kuyin regretted that he had judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Today, the older generation of strong men in the Confucian government have not yet withered away, Yan Youqin has begun to rise to prominence, and the brothers of the Kong family in the Mesozoic era have begun to support half of the Confucian government.
Kong Kaiping's appearance is somewhat similar to Kong Yingda's. He is middle-aged, elegant and easy-going, and his words make people feel like spring breeze, and he also has a rare gentleness.
"Brother Meng, we haven't seen each other for many years. It's quite a revelation when we meet an old friend." Kong Kaiping directly asked his servants to bring the wine jar.
Meng Kuyin and Kong Kaiping were old acquaintances. After the two drank, Kong Kaiping looked at Jiang Yan again.
"You are the one who defeated Yan Youqin, right? You are indeed a young hero. Come and have a drink."
"Doesn't the Confucian government not allow young people to drink? Wouldn't this break the rules?" Jiang Yan asked strangely.
"Qianxunzhang warns Confucian scholars to drink alcohol without reason, but you are not a Confucian scholar, and I am not that dull. I will treat you as if I can't see you drinking yours," Kong Kaiping said with a smile.
Compared with that group of stubborn old Confucians, Kong Kaiping was rare.
"I have a lot of fine wines in the world in Qingdu. Let's do some serious business first. After that, we will invite you to visit the Wen Mansion," Meng Kuyin said.
"Serious business? What serious business? Aren't you just here to have fun?"
Kong Kaiping's words made Meng Kuyin and Jiang Yan's hearts skip a beat. Sure enough, this matter would not go smoothly.
"During this Ehu meeting, Mr. Lu made a bet with the Confucian government. If Jiang Yan could defeat Yan Youqin, he would return the southern foot of Yunxi River to the Confucian government.
Brother Kong must also know the final result. Jiang Lun, who was born in the Wen Mansion, luckily became the number one in the eight mansions."
In the battle at Ehu, Wen Mansion's performance was a bit scary. Shui Wuxin in the Huiyang realm was the best among the heroes, and Jiang Chang in the Xuanling realm was the best among the eight mansions.
However, Kong Kaiping’s performance was a bit awkward
"I've also heard of such a bet, but I always thought it was just a joke."
"A joke? How can you joke about such an important place like Yunlu?"
Even though Meng Kuyin knew it wouldn't be that easy, he never expected that Kong Kaiping would just brush it off with just one joke.
"Brother Meng, please don't get excited. First of all, this bet is a verbal agreement made by Senior Lu. Whether it is true or not is still doubtful.
Secondly, it is said that Confucianism did not come forward directly, but King Kong Zhi of Xumifu conveyed it on his behalf. I was not present at the time, so it is understandable that I did not know about it."
"It seems that the people in the Confucian government want to default on their debts." Meng Kuyin looked unkind and still tried his best to control himself.
"Thousands of instructions from the Confucian government are full of morality, benevolence and righteousness, and I am a Confucian sage. How can I default on my debts?" Kong Kaiping hurriedly explained.
"Yunlu was originally owned by my Wen family, but your Confucian family took advantage of it because of the unscrupulous disciple Zhao Wuxie. Now you really want to take it as your own?
Yunlu is buried with the remains of scribes and sages, and they are engraved with the splendid seals of the scribes. If they cannot be taken back, we will wait for the scribes to die without resting in peace!" Meng Kuyin's words were filled with a bit of uncontrollable excitement.
Kong Kaiping also knew the twists and turns, and he had already thought of a countermeasure after not seeing each other for the past few days.
"Brother Meng, why not, since Mr. Lu was the party involved at the time, why not ask Mr. Lu to come and tell me the situation one by one.
Mr. Lu is the number one painter of Yuling, so his words are naturally trustworthy. If he told me about such a bet, I would offer Yunlu with both hands."
Lu Daoxuan was seriously injured in Xihe, and now he has almost forgotten who he is. Kong Kaiping actually wants Lu Daoxuan to confront him.
After hearing such conditions, Jiang Yan couldn't help it at first, and directly protested.
"Kong Kaiping, you are going too far."
"How did I deceive others? Also, if you call your elders by their first names in Xihe, you will be punished. But you are a scribe, and I will not hold you accountable." Kong Kaiping behaved very generously.
Meng Kuyin patted Jiang Chan's shoulder and motioned for him to sit down first. Jiang Chan's identity was just a sacrifice, which was inferior to Kong Kaiping, the youngest doctor of internal medicine in Confucianism. Even if he wanted ginseng and cock, he would
He did it himself.
"You just called the peacock to spread its wings, but you didn't mean the peacock to spread its wings. You said it so beautifully.
Mr. Lu is injured and cannot come to Yunlu, and you are not qualified to confront Mr. Lu."
"Do you want to take it back by force? Nowadays, the people of Yunlu read the Five Classics and memorize thousands of trainings. How can you and I ignore the hearts of the people of heaven and earth when we become enlightened and practice?"
Kong Kaiping was confident that even if the Confucian government took back Yunlu, the people here would never agree.
"You don't have to worry about it now. No matter what means you use, whether you are willing or not, Wenfu will take back Yunlu and will not change it according to your or my will.
In the past, Mr. Wei suppressed Yunlu's matter and didn't mention it, but now that the old matter is brought up again, it is impossible to let it go."
He had already known before coming that this trip would not be easy. Unexpectedly, he almost overturned the table in one meeting. Kong Kaiping wanted to completely overturn Wenfu's plan to take back Yunlu. This was something that no one could tolerate.
"Bamboo can be broken but its joints cannot be destroyed; jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed. Brother Meng, we Confucian scholars are upright and upright, and you cannot scare us with just one or two threats." Kong Kaiping was also unwilling to compromise.
"Then let's wait and see"
Meng Kuyin waved his sleeves and left, and Jiang Yan followed him.
Kong Kaiping personally sent the two of them off. No matter what he thought in his heart, at least there was no blame in his etiquette. And his expression seemed to be understatement, but in fact he was also under great pressure.
On the way out, Meng Kuyin frowned.
"If Mr. Lu knew that Kong Kaiping had made such a condition, he would come even if he had to sacrifice his face. Unfortunately, Mr. Lu's current condition..."
Meng Kuyin sighed and shook his head. The painter who was once the best in the world could no longer pick up his pen again.
"Mr. Meng, what will happen if we use force?" Jiang Yan asked.
Not only Meng Kuyin, but also almost all the old scribes had thought about taking it by force. After all, Yunlu was a thorn that had been stuck in their hearts for many years.
"The strength of the Confucian government is not as simple as what you saw in Xihe. Doctors from the Five Classics are considered the mainstay of the Confucian government. In addition to the people you have met, all the eight great orders of the Xuan Kingdom came from the Confucian government.
Our Wen Mansion lost almost two generations of strong men because of the battle at Ziwu Valley, but the Confucian Mansion did not encounter any major battles.
But starting a war is actually part of Lord Wei's plan. Over the years, Lord Wei has gathered all his strength and cultivated a group of powerful men with terrifying strength. They are still capable of fighting, but the outcome is a bit unpredictable."
Yunlu's matter has reached a deadlock, and no one is willing to fall out completely unless it is absolutely necessary.
Jiang Yan was not interested in Yunlu at first, but he realized the importance of this place after seeing the Yunxi Preface and the divine stone wall and Huang Wenfeng Book.
Suddenly, a water bubble appeared in front of the two of them, and a herring was swimming in the water bubble. This was Wenfu's unique communication technique, Fish Book.
"The fish book given to you by Mr. Wei"
With a pop sound, the bubble burst. Jiang Yan caught the fish in his hand and took out a small piece of paper from his mouth with only four characters on it.
