Chapter 211: One Day, the World Knows
Chapter 211: One day, the whole world knows
Five days later.
As the saying goes, “Ten years of hard study, no one cares; one day, you become famous
, and the whole world knows.” Now this saying is both appropriate and inappropriate for Wei Changtian
.
First of all, it is obvious that he did not go through the process of “ten years of hard study.”
Secondly, before the Spring Dragon Poetry Festival, the name “Wei Changtian” was definitely not “no one cares.” Although it is a bad reputation for “killing”.
However, if you ignore the first half of the sentence, the second half of the sentence “one day, famous” and “the whole world knows” are true.
The rising star of Dali Wendao who came all the way to disrupt the event.
Su Wu and Shen Ran’s poetry battle.
Wei
Changtian, who wrote nine peerless poems in a row and turned the tide.
The Spring River Moon Night, which caused a series of strange phenomena and even converted a real dragon.
Liu Jiaya and Yan Shuyuan’s sneak attack and revenge.
The wandering monk from Folian Temple who suddenly appeared.
The dead bodies were scattered all over the Sun and Moon Lake.
If there is a saying in this world that “eating melons” is good, then the Chunlong Poetry Meeting, which brings together many elements such as the struggle of literature and Taoism, ancient poems, political party struggles, bloody violence, etc., is definitely the biggest melon that the people of Daning have eaten in recent years.
As we all know, the speed of gossip can even exceed the speed of light.
Therefore, in just five days, everything that happened at the Chunlong Poetry Meeting has spread throughout the thirty-six states, truly reaching the level of “known to the world”, and brought a series of changes to Daning.
Officials and wealthy merchants belonging to the Liu and Wei families began to gather their forces to prepare for the next full-scale war between the two families.
In the brothels and taverns from all over the world, the girls holding the Yaoqin no longer sang anything else, and all they sang was “The Spring River Tide Connects the Sea Level”.
The envoy of Daning set off for Dali and demanded that the latter hand over Shen Ran, who “disgraced the dignity of the superior country”.
The more clever merchants have already begun to quietly hoard goods, preparing to make a fortune in the upcoming chaos.
The impact of the Spring Dragon Poetry Festival has affected almost everyone in Daning, and for Wei Changtian himself, the most obvious thing he can feel right now is the group of literati who guard the entrance of his alley every day.
”Back off! Back off!!”
In Fulu Lane, dozens of Xuanjingsi officers dressed in tiger-dragon costumes stood in a row blocking the entrance of the alley.
Opposite them were hundreds of scholars with feather fans and scarves and fanatical expressions.
”We just want to visit Mr. Wei! If he doesn’t want to see us, he will leave! But why did the Xuanjingsi stop us here!”
”That’s right! This is my name card, take it to show Mr. Wei!”
”This is mine!”
”And me!”
”.”
Amid the dissatisfied questioning, name cards were thrown at the feet of the Xuanjingsi officers like snowflakes, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered the ground.
Facing the Xuanjingsi, ordinary people might be afraid, but these scholars didn’t care much.
After all, most of those who came here to see Wei Changtian were scholars or well-known scholars. They were proud of their achievements and did not believe that Xuan Jingsi would dare to do anything to them.
And Xuan Jingsi really could not do anything to them.
It was impossible to tell what background these people had, and they had not violated any laws. They could not be driven away or taken away without explanation.
In any case, Xuan Jingsi was an official, and they had to have a reasonable reason for doing things.
But some people did not need such a reason.
”Da da da da!”
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came first, and then a large group of fierce men in different clothes rushed over from the end of the street. As soon
as these people appeared, they went straight to the group of scholars, and did not care about the Xuan Jingsi officers standing next to them. They raised their fists and started fighting.
”Ah! Why did you hit me!”
”Thief! Do you know who I am?! Ah! It hurts! Please spare my life, please spare my life!”
”Bandits are committing crimes in the street! The Xuan Jing Division actually turned a blind eye! I, I will go to the government office and sue you!”
”Ah! My hand! My right hand that can write poems, paint, and control women!!!”
”.”
The wailing of crying and screaming suddenly became a chorus. After only a dozen breaths, more than a hundred scholars ran away in a hurry.
The big man who beat them away did not chase them, but quickly dispersed and surrounded the alley.
A young man slowly walked over from the back of the crowd, and the officers of the Xuanjing Division immediately recognized him.
From the surface, this man was even their colleague.
”Brother Chu!”
The centurion wearing the silver-threaded tiger dragon uniform took a step closer and clasped his fists to Chu Xianping in a rather restrained manner: “Thanks to you today!”
”Brother Liu, you have worked hard too.”
Chu Xianping also clasped his fists in return, and his eyes swept over the dozens of Xuanjing Division officers.
”Brothers, from now on, my Freemasonry will guard this place. This is what Master Wei meant.”
”Yes, yes, yes! Then I’ll have to trouble you, Brother Chu!”
When the centurion heard that it was arranged by Wei Changtian, he dared not say much. After a few more polite words, he hurriedly withdrew with the people of the Xuanjing Division.
As soon as they left, the Freemasons also dispersed, hiding and disguising themselves around, secretly observing the people coming and going.
After that, all the scholars who came here for the sake of reputation were “persuaded” to leave one by one, and if they were not convinced, they would immediately fight each other. Surprisingly, there was no more chaos like before.
It seems that bandits are more effective than government officials in dealing with these scholars.
”Okay, keep an eye on this place, and remember not to allow any strangers to enter the alley.”
After looking around for a while, Chu Xianping gave his men a few more instructions and prepared to leave.
As the helmsman of the Freemasons, he usually has a lot of things to deal with, and of course he can’t stay here all the time.
”We understand! Helmsman, don’t worry!”
Everyone responded, saying that they would never let even a fly disturb the peace of Master Wei.
But at this moment, a black carriage suddenly appeared from the end of the road, and it seemed to be heading for Fulu Lane.
”Stop the carriage!”
Before Chu Xianping could speak, several skilled men immediately jumped up, preparing to grab the reins from the driver.
But the driver was not a pushover. He held the reins firmly with one hand, and at the same time, he quickly slapped the air with the other hand.
”Bang, bang, bang!”
A series of muffled sounds exploded, and several men who went to stop the carriage flew back instantly.
Fifth rank!
A driver actually has a fifth rank!
Chu Xianping narrowed his eyes slightly, but his body did not move, and he did not even say a word.
Because there was no need.
It seemed that they had rehearsed this situation long ago. Although the other Freemasons saw several of their companions being knocked away at the first sight, they did not hesitate or panic. The next moment, they all took out their weapons and formed a small formation at the entrance of the alley.
With such a reaction speed, I am afraid that some people would believe that they were the most elite guards in Daning.
”Da Da Da!”
The black carriage did not stop and continued to rush straight to the entrance of the alley.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and in a moment, there was only less than ten feet between them.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, at this moment, the people in the car and Chu Xianping shouted almost at the same time:
”Stop!”
”Disperse!”
