After receiving his mother's approval, Fang Yun turned around and saluted Zhang Rang first:
"Master Zhang, it is Fang Yun's blessing to be appreciated by Master Taifu. However, Fang Yun is young, only fifteen years old this year. It is also a fluke that he can be the leader of the Lantern Festival Literary Examination. He is favored by Master Taifu.
Asked, Fang Yun was both happy and frightened at the same time. He was happy because he was appreciated by the Taifu, but he was probably worried that he was not talented enough and had lost the reputation of the Taifu. Sir, Fang Yun hoped that you could tell the Taifu when you go back, so he said
Fang Yun hopes that the Grand Tutor can give me some time to read more and accumulate knowledge and cultivation, so that the reputation of the Grand Tutor will not be damaged in the future."
Fang Yun's explanation was also appropriate and tactful, and he was always speaking from the perspective of the Grand Tutor. Zhang Rang and several Hanlin attendants nodded repeatedly. This kind of reply, at least to the Grand Tutor, can be explained.
.
After saying this, Fang Yun turned to Li Ji and saluted:
"Master Li, Master Wu Mu suppressed the national movement of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was a high-ranking figure and a god-like figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Fang Yun has looked up to Master Wu Mu since he was a child. Fang Yun is very lucky to be able to be consulted by Wu Mu this time.
However, Fang Yun has just tied up his hair. According to the Zhou Dynasty's practice, all the scholars who have just tied up their hair need to go to the mines to exercise. Fang Yun hopes that Wu Mu can give him some time. In the coming year, when the spring snow melts, he can come back from the mines to exercise.
Then make a decision."
On Wu Mu's side, Fang Yun did not agree rashly. At this time, agreeing to either party in front of the other party would be extremely reckless and would lead to disaster. However, Fang Yun did not explicitly refuse.
Wu Mu's line. Whether he joins the court as an official or joins the army, this is what Fang Yun must choose. If he has the care of Wu Mu and Taifu, he will be on the same path in the future, and his future will be smooth.
Infinite!
Li Ji nodded when he heard this. However, he really had a love for Fang Yun's talents. The more generous and generous Fang Yun was, the more outstanding he was. He hoped that Fang Yun would join the army.
It's getting stronger.
"I will bring what the young marquis said to Mr. Wu Mu. Now that I have a reply, I will not bother you. I hope that when the young marquis comes back from training in the mine next year, he can give Mr. Wu Mu a satisfactory answer.
reply."
Li Ji stood up at this time. The military attachés of the Great Zhou Dynasty always came and went: "Mrs. Huayang, I will take my leave first."
At this time, Zhang Rang led several Hanlin attendants to stand up and said, "I will also bring it to the Grand Tutor if you want to talk to me. Madam Huayang, there are still things going on in the Hanlin Academy, so Zhang Rang won't bother me.
"
This time, although I could not get a clear answer from Mrs. Huayang, at least Mrs. Huayang did not agree to Wu Mu. This result is enough to explain.
"Let the lady send the two adults away,"
Mrs. Huayang stood up and sent Zhang Rang and Li Ji out of the Hou Mansion. A crisis was resolved by Fang Yun's few words.
"Yun'er, you have finally grown up."
After seeing off the two adults, Mrs. Huayang returned to the main hall, staring at Fang Yun, with mixed feelings. Fang Yun's words and actions were completely different from before. This made Mrs. Huayang very happy.
"When your child grows up, he no longer needs my loving care!"
Mrs. Huayang suddenly burst into tears as she thought about it.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?!"
Fang Yun was shocked.
"It's okay, mother is happy." Mrs. Huayang wiped away her tears and hugged Fang Yun: "My son is both civilized and martial arts. He is the first in the literary test and the first in the martial arts competition. What should I do as a mother with such a child?
How can I not be happy?"
Fang Yun then breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of what happened just now, his eyes darkened:
"Mother, I'm sorry. During the Lantern Festival, I only thought about getting the reward from the royal family. I didn't expect that I would be caught between Wu Mu and the Taifu! I made my mother worry."
"Child, don't blame yourself. You should think about it this way. In the entire capital city, which family can get the favor of both Wu Mu and Taifu at the same time? This is our family's great honor. Other aristocratic families, even Mang Huanghou and the others,
They are all things that you can’t even ask for.”
Mrs. Huayang thought about it at this time. Anyway, the worst she could do was to disband and return to the fields with her husband. Thinking of her husband, Mrs. Huayang suddenly thought of something. She took out a letter stamped with the military seal from her hand.
Letter from:
"Yun'er, a few months ago, after the hunting in the eastern suburbs, I wrote a letter to your father. Today, your father's reply came. One of them is for you. You can open this letter after you go back.
open it."
Mrs. Huayang said and handed over the envelope. Fang Yun subconsciously took it and stared blankly at the letter in his hand.
"Father, a letter to me..."
Holding this letter sent from the distant wilderness, Fang Yun suddenly felt a strange and distant feeling in his heart.
For Fang Yun, the word father was too far away and vague. In his previous life, his father rarely came back to the capital. Even when he died, he died outside. He just brought back a piece of news from other people's mouths."
Fang Yin, the Marquis of Sifang, conspired to rebel and was killed by the Human Emperor!"
Fang Yun tried hard to recall his father's appearance, but his mind was blurry. The only impression he had was that he was very tall, burly, and majestic. Suddenly, Mrs. Huayang's voice came to his ears:
"Although Yang Biao died in the mouth of a golden-horned python while hunting in the eastern suburbs, the Pingding Marquis Mansion does not think so. Mrs. Xianhua always believed that you and Lin'er killed Yang Biao. Mother is worried about your safety.
, so I specifically asked your father to send you a personal bodyguard."
"Guard?" Fang Yun came to his senses at this time. Ever since he was attacked when he left the palace last time, Fang Yun felt that it was necessary to bring a guard. However, with Fang Yun's current strength, an ordinary guard could not be used at all.
Can't protect him.
"My father is in charge of the Southern Barbarians and has many masters under his command. The masters specially sent here should have good cultivation."
Fang Yun thought in his heart, but he didn't mean to refuse. With his current cultivation level at the peak of his aura, he was almost unrivaled among the scholars who came to the capital. But that was only among the scholars. The one who was killed on the way the day before yesterday
The man in black robe who came out almost killed him.
"Come out."
As soon as Mrs. Huayang's voice fell, a figure came out from behind the screen in the main hall. Seeing this person, Fang Yun was surprised, it was a woman!
This woman has a voluptuous figure, skin as white as jade, and is wearing a green skirt woven from silk. On her face, she wears a cold silver mask, revealing a strange and mysterious aura.
"The Wilderness Military Camp is the center of the Zhou army. My father has been stationed in the wilderness for many years. The army is all men. Why did they send me a female guard!"
Fang Yun was filled with shock and puzzled.
"Peacock, I've met Madam!"
At this time, the woman stood next to Mrs. Huayang and bowed. Her voice was cold and her tone was not respectful, but more like a routine.
"Well, come and meet the young Marquis. This is the master the Marquis asked you to protect."
Mrs. Huayang pointed at Fang Yun and said.
The woman named Peacock turned around, and a pair of cold and ruthless eyes came into view. Fang Yun's heart shrank suddenly, as if he had been stabbed by a needle. There was a feeling of extreme danger.
"The peacock has seen the young prince!"
The woman in green lowered her head and gestured slightly.
"I underestimated her, she was demonstrating to me!"
Fang Yun also noticed that this woman's cultivation level was very high. A look in her eyes could make her feel like she was being stabbed. Her cultivation level was obviously much higher than his own.
"Can you float?" Fang Yun suddenly asked.
The peacock was hidden under the silver mask, and no expression could be seen. Her arms were slightly raised, and under Fang Yun's shocked eyes, her feet were off the ground, just suspended in the air.
"Reborn Realm, this woman is actually a warrior from the Reborn Realm!"
Fang Yun was shocked and finally felt at ease with this woman. With such strength, in the Zhou army, she was a captain or above, or even a general.
My father made a big move this time and directly sent a captain, a general-level figure, to protect him!
"Little Marquis, when I came here, the Marquis made it clear. I am only responsible for protecting your safety and don't care about anything else. Likewise, you don't need to worry about my whereabouts. I am not bound by you."
The peacock landed on the ground and said calmly.
"I know, you can just act as you please. I won't restrict your actions."
The most important thing in martial arts is spirit and will. Fang Yun understands that most of the masters who have reached the realm of rebirth in martial arts are somewhat arrogant and don't like to be restrained by others.
Suddenly, Peacock seemed to feel something, his body swayed, and he mysteriously disappeared into the room. Fang Yun was surprised when he heard a knock on the door, and a guard from the Hou Mansion said outside the door:
"Madam, the royal family sent the Imperial Guard to escort a gift box, saying it was something the young master won at the Lantern Festival."
"Outer Territory Star Iron, the things I want have finally been delivered," Fang Yun was ecstatic in his heart and said loudly: "Send the things to my wing."
"Yes, Master!"
The footsteps of the guards gradually faded away.
"Mother, the last time I attended the Lantern Festival was for this royal reward. This is an extraterrestrial star, the size of a fist! With this extraterrestrial star iron, after the snow melts next year, I can
Going to the mines to build my armor!"
Fang Yun turned around and said to his mother. After tying his hair, he went to the mine to participate in training. For other scholars, this was just a Zhou custom. But for Fang Yun, it had a completely different meaning.
Mrs. Huayang was moved when she heard this. Although she did not practice martial arts, her husband was a prince of the Zhou Dynasty, so she still knew something about martial arts. Extraterrestrial star iron was extremely rare, it was truly priceless, and you couldn't even buy it!
Saying goodbye to his mother, Fang Yun walked quickly to the wing.
