With such thoughts appearing in his mind, Yunjing couldn't help but look at the woman disguised as a man a few more times.
The more I look at her, the more she looks like Xia Ziyue, the eldest princess of Dali, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of her temperament, dignity, luxury, and aloofness, which ordinary people don't have.
It is undeniable that she disguised herself very well, but Yunjing's senses were so sharp. An inadvertent movement or look in the other party's eyes made Yunjing feel the temperament of someone who has been in a high position for a long time, with calmness and indifference, and unreasonable surrender.
She feels great pressure, her nobility is cold-blooded, like all living beings are no more than ants in her eyes, and she is proud and lonely. It seems that no one can enter her eyes and cause her mood to fluctuate.
Human temperament is a very magical thing, just like a husky blending into a pack of wolves, it looks out of place no matter how disguised it is.
Just like now, the woman disguised herself as a man and stood with her two companions. The other two people may not have noticed it, and they were half a body behind her subconsciously, especially when facing the gazes of countless people around them.
The woman took it calmly, without even a slight change in her eyes, as if she was already used to being noticed.
It was obvious that her two companions knew her and seemed quite familiar with her, but they obviously did not know her daughter's identity.
To be honest, that woman was really good at disguising herself. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't grow the appearance of a man out of thin air, Yunjing would probably have been deceived.
"Empress Sanluo, the emperor of a country, if she is absent from the court for a long time, it will be difficult for the news to spread. Therefore, the possibility that this woman is Empress Sanluo is very small, but it is not impossible. Maybe I am overthinking it."
Maybe she is some kind of prince or noble, she was so bored that she couldn't sit still, so she dressed up and went out to play," Yunjing thought in his mind.
Including the woman, there are three people who claim to be students of the Sanluo Dynasty. They all have innate realm of cultivation. The woman is in the middle innate stage, and the other two are in the early innate stage. We cannot rule out the possibility that they use special techniques to hide their cultivation.
For those of them who are in their twenties, such martial arts cultivation is already considered outstanding. It was only when Yunjing's master Li Qiu was ranked first among the four talented men that he had such cultivation.
Then the servants they brought were not simple. There were more than ten servants, each of whom had a cultivation level no lower than the late Xiantian stage. There were even four true artistic conceptions, and among the four true artistic conceptions, there were even two true artistic conceptions.
Late artistic conception!
Thinking about it, they are probably all the treasures of the Sanluo Dynasty. How could they not pay attention to safety when they come to the Dali Dynasty? Maybe there are other experts secretly protecting them.
There is no need for Yunjing to doubt that those two servants in the late stage of True Artistic Realm were disguised as men, and both of them were women, acting like servants, which made people a little bit amused.
What kind of woman can be worthy of being served by two late-stage True Artistic Contemporaries in a humble and cautious manner?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three of them stood outside the gate of Qingniu Academy and waited calmly. They were neither impatient nor impatient, neither sad nor happy, showing the elegance of scholars.
The greeting card had already been sent to Qingniu Academy, and soon a group of people hurriedly appeared in the academy and headed this way.
"Tsk, it seems that 'foreign monks are not very good at reciting sutras.' The ones who appeared in Qingniu Academy are obviously not big shots. The first one is an old man, who is at best a branch master, and the rest are young people.
It does not bring shame to the Dali Dynasty. If they all go out to offer sacrifices to foreign friends as soon as they hear that they are visiting, that would be embarrassing. This is not rude and does not attach too much importance, but it is just right." Yun Jing nodded secretly in his heart.
I have to say that last year's battle really built up the national confidence of the Dali Dynasty.
There are just a few young students from the Sanluo dynasty, who else do you need to receive them? If a gentleman comes out, he will be a compliment to you.
Facing the people who came from Qingniu Academy, the woman disguised as a man frowned slightly, as if she was unhappy because she was being slighted, but this emotion was fleeting and almost no one noticed.
"The acting is really like it. His eyes are calm and he doesn't care who comes out of the Blue Ox Academy, but he frowns slightly on purpose. This is for the people around him to see. He is clearly just expressing his superficial identity at the moment.
"Li Chao's dissatisfaction", Yun Jing commented in his heart like a mirror.
"I didn't know that Junjie Sanluo was here, so I hope you'll forgive me if I've been neglectful." A group of people coming out of the academy came closer and bowed slightly to the leader, smiling.
The woman played her role very well, nodding with a smile and bowing her hands.
But she did not speak. Instead, a handsome young man on the left subconsciously stepped forward to act as a communicator and said, "I took the liberty of visiting and did not say hello in advance. It would be rude and rude."
"Where are you? You are all guests, so please come in." The gentleman smiled and extended his hand to guide us.
This was all superficial polite greetings. In fact, many people around him could vaguely feel the tense atmosphere beneath the calm. Those three people from the Sanluo Dynasty were obviously not here to simply be guests and communicate.
As expected, the woman spoke, and she said calmly: "Sir, you're welcome. We heard that the Youth Academy is one of the four famous university palaces in Dali. It is full of talents and can be called a holy place that countless scholars yearn for. We humbly come here to ask for advice and exchanges.
, I want to experience the style of Dali students, and I hope you can give me some advice."
Her voice is full of energy and masculine, but this is just a trivial means to cover up the voice change of her daughter.
The words were polite, the posture was sufficient, and not aggressive at all. No one could find any fault with it, but the faint smell of gunpowder was felt by many people.
"Qingniu Academy Wen Cangnan, on behalf of the academy, welcomes you all, please," Wen Cangnan said slightly sideways.
The woman nodded and said: "Sangluo Dynasty, Baiyun Academy, Wu Changkong, please sir"
Then her two companions said respectively: "Sang Luo, Baiyun Academy, Zhu Can"
"Sang Luo, Baiyun Academy, Chen Lin"
As they announced their identities, they followed Wen Cangnan towards the Qingniu Academy.
On the surface, they came to seek advice and exchange, but in fact they came to try to suppress Dali students. However, this kind of thing was tacitly understood by everyone, and there was no need to show it openly, so they were not prepared to start in front of everyone at the gate of the academy.
That would be a slap in the face without showing appreciation, which is inconsistent with the style of a scholar.
At least so far, they still have some grace. After entering the academy, the final exchange will depend on their own abilities, and whether they win or lose depends on how to "properly publicize" the results.
Not far away, Yun Jing, an ordinary passerby, shrugged boredly, thinking that he was going to the academy to communicate, so that was fine with me. After all, he was an outsider, so it would be a bit troublesome to watch.
Before that, he thought that these people from the Sanluo Dynasty would just show off and slap him in the face at the door. The fact is that Yunjing overthinks it. Although they are 'visiting', how can they embarrass the Sanluo Dynasty in terms of etiquette?
?
Seeing this, Yunjing was ready to leave, since there was nothing wrong with him if he stayed.
Unexpectedly, on the way forward, the woman who called herself Wu Changkong slowed down slightly, glanced around and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, you are surrounded by students from Dali. I think there are many knowledgeable people among them. How about inviting them to come together and have a discussion?"
?”
Yunjing, who was about to leave, glanced at the woman in surprise, secretly thinking that there was something about this woman. She was obviously trying to compliment Dali students and went to have some exchanges, but in fact she wanted people to 'be a witness'.
Otherwise, when they trample the students of Qingniu Academy under their feet, who will help them promote it?
When Wen Cangnan heard this, he glanced at Wu Changkong subconsciously. How could he not understand the other party's meaning?
, I also want to see the knowledge of Sanluo Junjie. Only by communicating with each other can we make progress. There is absolutely no reason to refuse."
Oh, so to speak, I can go and watch. Yunjing felt happy, but he turned around and left. What do you guys like? If I have this free time, why don't I read two more books? Let's just join in the fun.
La, what if you randomly ask someone to come up to discuss it while you are communicating, and you happen to find me, should I be admitted or not?
Logically speaking, at this age, Yunjing likes to join in the fun, but he has no interest in this kind of thing. He just pretends to be a slap in the face in different ways. He has long been tired of it and is bored out of his mind.
Although he was not interested, the people around him were very interested. They flocked to Qingniu Academy one by one, and many people even immediately called their friends to come. Qingniu Academy would be very lively next.
"The three northern countries each sent ten young talents south to Dali to 'discuss and exchange' all the way from north to south. Before that, they were almost in a 'sweeping' posture. They won more than they lost, leaving Dali students with nothing to lose and itchy teeth.
There is nothing I can do. After all, learning is not as good as others. I just didn’t expect that people from the three northern countries would come to Dali Capital so quickly and get stuck before the final competition between the four great talents. They wanted to go through it first and let the last four great talents compete.
The reputation of a talented scholar is not so prestigious, right?"
"Three members of the Sanluo Dynasty have come to Qingniu Academy. I think there are people coming to the other three academys. News has been spread. This is the beginning. The Sanluo Dynasty will come first, and the other two are anxious to come.
The dynasty is too bad. This is to make the fight between the four great talents in Dali completely meaningless."
"Baiyun College, one of the three major colleges of the Sanluo Dynasty, is no worse than the four major colleges of the Dali Dynasty. The other two including this 'Wu Changkong' are all famous. It is rumored that the 'Baiyun College'
Wu Changkong's calligraphy and chess skills are outstanding. People who are good at chess skills are good at figuring out people's hearts and layouts. In this way, Wu Changkong seems to be closer to the identity of Empress Sanluo? But this is obviously fake. The real Wu Changkong is
It's none of my business to take my place."
"The other one, Zhu Can, has outstanding painting skills and is unparalleled in the Sanluo Dynasty. It is said that a painting is worth thousands of gold. Chen Lin has outstanding poetry and is the object of countless women's pursuit. His poetry... tsk..."
On the way to Liu Fuzi Bookstore, Yunjing thought secretly based on the information he had learned in the past. When he thought of the word poem, his mood was extremely complicated.
We are not that material. If we don’t have talent, we don’t have talent. What should we do?
In a simple courtyard in Dali Capital City, people came and went in a hurry.
In the pavilion in the small courtyard, the eldest princess of Dali played chess with her husband Deng Changchun.
Gently rolling up her sleeves, the eldest princess put down a chess piece and said calmly with a smile: "Master, you lose."
Looking at the chessboard, Deng Changchun smiled and said: "I'm old after all. I'm not as good as you young people. You are worthy of being the disciple taught by Old Man Liu. He can prove the Tao of Xiaoyao. Now you, a little girl, have obtained his true inheritance."
With that said, Deng Changchun put his chess pieces back into the chess box. He lost this game.
However, the eldest princess didn't seem to be talking about the current game of chess. She smiled and said, "The little guy wasn't fooled."
"Although I had long expected that the little guy was not interested in this kind of thing, the fact that he turned around and left still made me feel itchy and wanted to beat him up," Deng Changchun said speechlessly, with a look of both laughter and laughter on his face.
Xia Ziyue pondered: "Delaying the pace of the students from the three northern countries going south until that little guy 'happens' to bump into me, Master is considered to be intentional, but I don't understand, Master is so called... all deliberate, why is this so?"
"Why is that so? If I say I just want to tease that little guy, would you believe it?" Deng Changchun said with a smile.
Xia Ziyue nodded and said: "Junior's letter"
Smiling, Deng Changchun was speechless and said: "Speaking of which, the things that little guy did are not of great significance to the country and the people, but he has a lazy temper and is not at all like his age.
Vigor, if things go on like this, he may lose his edge as a young man, so we specially created opportunities for him to show off what he has learned. Whether it is to show off his edge or to be frustrated, it is good for him, but he just won't be fooled, so there is nothing we can do about it."
"Master thinks so highly of him? He doesn't hesitate to do so much for him secretly," Xia Ziyue asked curiously.
Deng Changchun said calmly: "Not only is he optimistic about me, he is my blessing. Isn't it the same for Your Highness? In order for him to take the exam with peace of mind, he did not hesitate to ask my disciples to help him stop He Zhengdian and others."
Xia Ziyue stopped continuing this topic, and instead said thoughtfully: "Master, that little guy is very smart. I'm afraid he already knew that he was being 'calculated', so he turned around and left. Otherwise, there would be no such coincidence in the world.
As soon as he came to the capital, people from the Sanluo Dynasty appeared in front of him and came to ask for advice."
"That guy is a ghost. Of course he will be on guard against such a coincidence. It's just a pity. It's a great opportunity to be in the limelight. I have already arranged for people to push him out when the time comes. No matter how he behaves, he will add fuel to the fire.
Participate in the dispute between the four great talents, and then give him the title of the top of the four talents, let him roast on the fire, and see if he can still enjoy himself all day long, and he obviously does not need to use his skills on the edge of the knife.
It doesn't matter if he falls for it, but if he doesn't fall for it, there's nothing we can do about it," Deng Changchun said a little tangled.
At this time, Xia Ziyue gritted her teeth inexplicably and said: "It is probably because of his master's teaching and following his master that he developed such a character."
Deng Changchun glanced at Xia Ziyue and drank tea with a smile on his face.
At the beginning, Li Qiu was the first of the four great talents, and he showed his sharpness, and then he successfully attracted Xia Ziyue's attention. As a result, he disappeared from the scene for many years.
Then, Li Qiu, in view of his own mistakes, trained Yunjing to have the personality he has now...
Xia Ziyue quickly realized that she had lost her composure, but she couldn't maintain her composure when she thought of that ungrateful man.
Adjusting her mentality, Xia Ziyue changed the subject and said: "Master, you have lost this game of chess. You promised this junior..."
"Don't worry, I will never break my promise. You, just spoil your brother Li Qiu, and don't hesitate to let me pave the way for him. Can you two get together in the end... Forget it, I won't talk about these things. You
Just be happy yourself, and besides, you spoil both the master and the apprentice, especially the little one, you are so doting on him!"
Having said this, Deng Changchun paused and said, "Those little guys are starting to get restless. Originally, His Highness the Second Prince wanted to go to that little guy for advice, but in the end, you locked him up in the mansion. You just doted on that little guy."
No, sometimes I wonder, which one is closer to you?"
"That little guy shouldn't get involved in these things. As elders, we naturally have to help prevent trouble. After all, he doesn't like trouble. If these things make him dissatisfied with me, Dali,
That's called losing more than the gain," Xia Ziyue shook her head and said.
Deng Changchun deeply believed that, even if Xia Ziyue did not take action, he would not allow some nonsense to disturb Yunjing. If it aroused his resentment, based on Deng Changchun's understanding of him, it would be the disgrace of the entire Dali Dynasty.
disaster!
Maybe Yunjing himself didn't know how many troubles someone had invisibly eliminated for him, and he was still enjoying himself all day long without even realizing it.
When the conversation changed, Deng Changchun looked at Xia Ziyue and asked: "Is your Majesty really as unwell as the rumors say?"
"False", Xia Ziyue said bluntly, there is nothing to hide from the master about this kind of thing, and then continued: "The emperor's brother was honest back then. Although he couldn't practice martial arts to extend his life, he is still in good health now. It's just that he is a little tired from working on state affairs.
The reason why the news was spread is just because those little guys have grown up. The emperor is still in the prime of life, but he still has to think about the future. It is time to test the abilities of those little guys."
"These things are your family affairs, so you don't need to talk to me. I just hope those little guys don't make too much trouble, otherwise if it affects the people, we old guys won't care about it. We will clean up our own mess. In case of trouble,
If you are out of control and the enemy takes advantage of you, you are asking for it. Don't blame me for not warning you when the time comes." Deng Changchun shook his head and said.
Xia Ziyue said calmly: "The naughty child has grown up and wants to be the master of the family. We elders also have a headache, but please rest assured, Master, as a child, just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. If
If it's too much, just give it a beating."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. As a condition for paving the way for your brother Qiu, I have also helped you understand it. The news from the secret line has confirmed for you that the empress of the Sanluo Dynasty is indeed not in the palace now. She is just a substitute.
It’s just that the whereabouts of the real empress are unknown, and she also went south in disguise. The details are not clear. Your Highness, you also know that people like her have many tricks to hide." Deng Changchun changed the subject.
Hearing this, Xia Ziyue frowned slightly, what exactly does Empress Sanluo want to do? Is it really like the rumors that she is traveling around the world looking for a 'good wife'?
It seems that it is really difficult for a woman to become an emperor. If the rumors are true, she was probably forced by the people below.
For a country's empress to find a 'virtuous wife', she still needs someone talented enough to protect her from the wind and rain. How can it be that easy?
Especially how many people are worthy of her?
By the way, Empress San Luo is only in her twenties. She came to the throne as a teenager in her daughter's body, but she doesn't know how she got there all these years, which is enough to illustrate her methods.
Thoughts flashed in my mind. I must focus on investigating the whereabouts and purpose of Empress San Luo. After all, it is the emperor of a neighboring country and even two other countries who are taking action. However, very few people know about this kind of thing.
For now, even if Empress Sanluo comes to the territory of Dali, no matter what her purpose is, she will not be able to stir up trouble. After all, the scenes of blood staining the sky again and again last year are still fresh in my mind!
Master Liu, who was in Xiaoyao Realm last year, used shocking methods to frighten him. In a short period of time, the three northern countries did not dare to mess around in the territory of Dali.
Different people have different identities, stand at different heights, and consider different things.
For Master Deng, he now has a way forward and is exploring the way forward bit by bit. He doesn't care about people and things. He doesn't even want to look at the real things.
From Xia Ziyue's point of view, the little thoughts of the younger generation are nothing more than a child's petty troubles. After all, she is a woman. Although she has a noble status, she also has the thoughts of a daughter's family.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and Xia Ziyue asked Deng Changchun: "Master, I wonder what you think about the students from the three northern countries going south?"
"You want to say whether my disciple from Dali can handle it. I have never considered such a small matter. However, when His Highness asked, I also expressed my opinion. After all, they are the heroes carefully selected by the three northern countries. This
Their 'achievements' over a period of time are also obvious to all. In my opinion, if the middle and older generations do not come forward, I just hope that I, the young people of Dali, will not be too embarrassed. I will still suffer a bit in the end if I rush to cope with others and come prepared."
, Deng Changchun said calmly.
Even if there was competition among young people between countries, to Deng Changchun, it was just a child's petty quarrel, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
After all, the angle of stance is different. Xia Ziyue said with a smile: "Isn't it too embarrassing? It's good to dampen the spirit of the young people, so that they don't get carried away thinking that the older generation is suppressing the enemy country. After all, the country will still have to
It depends on these young people, I hope they can grow up quickly.”
"I think so too, otherwise I wouldn't have created opportunities specifically for that little guy. What's terrible is that he didn't fall for the trick, which really pisses me off," Deng Changchun said with a smile.
In response to this, Xia Ziyue also shook her head speechlessly. Why doesn't that little guy like to join in the fun and be in the limelight?
It must be the concept that Li Qiu instilled in him. Look at how the children have been raised by you. They don't have the vitality of young people at all. They were really bitten by a snake. Even the apprentice was affected.
How many people dream of being in the limelight, and they have all been clearly arranged for you, and it is within easy reach, but he actually chooses to avoid it? Who can you tell me about this?
"Master, you are still struggling with this matter. Why don't you think of a way to fulfill your wish? The three students from the Sanluo Dynasty went to the Green Ox Academy. Then there is no suspense about the young students of the Blue Ox Academy becoming disgraced. Why not
Leading them to the little guy... can be said to kill two birds with one stone," Xia Ziyue said with a smile.
Deng Changchun's face straightened and he said: "I'm not that boring."
That's what he said, but his eyes were clearly urging Xia Ziyue to hurry up.
