The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 341 Ji Ping'an: I'm back, it seems like it's just the right time ([-] words, please subscribe)
"Welcome to the principal!"

At this moment, as Han Qingsong opened his mouth, a famous scholar saluted respectfully, with surprise and excitement in his tone.

Although they had already known that due to the "summit", the masters of their sect would arrive, it was still a bit unexpected for the dean to come out in person.

The contemporary dean of Yunhuai Academy was already the last step away from the realm of Shenzang in his early years.

The inheritance of the academy can be traced back thousands of years to the era of contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Daxing Dynasty.

As the orthodox successor of Confucianism, although today's academies have long been separated from "Confucianism", they are not the same thing.But the character and magnanimity of the literati have been inherited in one line.

The current dean's surname is Chen, and his first name is unknown. At least Han Qingsong has only called him "Dean Chen" since he was admitted to the hospital.

And this great man who observes the sky rarely goes out and walks around the world.

He spent the whole day in the study room of Yunhuai Academy, writing books and commenting on saints' classics, rarely showing his true appearance.

But no one dares to look down upon it.

Because the Confucian orthodoxy has been passed down, there are Confucian treasures in the academy. Only relying on the blessing of the treasures can raise the strength to a higher level.

Even in the Shenzang realm, one dare not underestimate the enemy.

Just like Master Mo Lin, his cultivation has not yet reached the peak, but there is a scroll of "Divine Hidden Realm" at the bottom of the box, which is why outsiders dare not underestimate him.

Although the peak combat power of Academy and Molin has not reached the divine treasure, they both have treasures that can barely increase their combat power by more than half a level.

"Well, Qin Leyou isn't here?"

The carriage door opened, and a senior from a famous college walked out, and then looked at the opened curtain.

Only the old man with a long beard wearing a Confucian crown and Confucian robes was seen opening his eyes, and the incense burner in front of him suddenly went out.

Han Qingsong was extremely embarrassed and said seriously:
"Senior Brother Qin is busy outside and is not in the courtyard. The disciple will go look for him now."

The old man glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said:

"Which fireworks willow are you busy at?"

Everyone bowed their heads and blushed. Although in the tradition of the academy, romance is also a label for scholars, but in public it is always a derogatory term.

"Don't wait for him, go to the hospital first." The old man walked away with a puff of sleeves.

Everyone followed.

Not long after, a group of people sat down in the spacious inner hall. As soon as Dean Chen and other elders sat down, they asked about the situation in the city.

Han Qingsong didn't dare to hide anything and told the truth.

Most of them are nothing special. The only new thing is that Mo Lin also arrived the day before yesterday. As for the Beast Control Sect, Luan Yu came earlier.

In other words, with the academy team entering the city, the five major sects in Yuhang City are now complete.

When he finished speaking, a senior from the famous academy had different expressions on his face. The old dean pondered for a moment and said:
"So, when the Imperial Master showed up that day, you saw it with your own eyes?"

Han Qingsong nodded: "It's absolutely true."

After saying that, seeing the solemn expressions of the teachers, he couldn't help but ask:

"May I ask the dean and all the masters, what is the situation in Leizhou now?"

The resident of Yunhuai Academy and the Monster Clan were also considered close neighbors, so he was very worried.

One of the masters sighed: "The soldiers are pressing down on the territory, and it's about to break out."

Another master added:
"Although there is fighting, both sides are obviously restraining themselves. In the final analysis, neither the Great Zhou Dynasty nor the Demon Kingdom are ready to start a war. Now, rather than declaring war, it is better to say that they are pushed by the situation and put up a fight. Roast on the fire.”

Han Qingsong listened for a while and felt worried.

Under this situation, no one knows how the situation in Kyushu will evolve.

But after all, it is necessary to mobilize for war, and this is also the purpose of their coming to the summit.

It is to reach a consensus and form an offensive and defensive alliance.

However, forming an alliance sounds simple, but in fact it is extremely complicated. After all, it involves military strength and resources, which all need to be discussed.

Moreover, although in the face of foreign enemies, the five major sects generally need to work together, how can it be so simple in fact?
We also need to be wary of each other, after all, no one wants to suffer too much damage in this change.

Therefore, this also involves the closeness and distance between different sects. Under the superficial alliance, it is also very important for all parties to form a "pair-by-two" alliance in private.

This situation sounds complicated, but as a metaphor, it is just like that classic joke:

There are six girls in the dormitory, and they have created seven groups...

Among the five major sects, Yunhuai Academy has the strongest motivation to form an alliance.

Because the area where the academy is located borders Daxi Continent, once a war breaks out, they will be the first group to face the enemy besides the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Dean Chen came in person.

"Dean, what do you think?" A master looked at the leader of the old man.

The old dean thought for a moment and said:
"Send someone to deliver a letter to Yin Yang Academy, and I will personally visit you in the afternoon."

……

……

The news that the Yunhuai Academy team had entered the city spread quickly as expected and attracted the attention of all forces in the city.

The prefect of Yuhang came to the door first and took the initiative to express welcome on behalf of the court.

However, the other major forces did not react immediately and were in a wait-and-see state.

In this atmosphere, a letter of greeting was delivered to Yin Yang Academy under the gaze of countless people.

In the palace.

After the snowstorm, the entire Yin Yang Academy ushered in a rare excitement.

Xu Xiurong was in charge, followed by Huang Chen, and Luo Huaizhu and others once again transformed this academy, which originally had only a few intersex people, into a place that stood side by side with the Qintian Prison in the divine capital.

But today, the atmosphere in the academy was a bit strange.

When the God-Emperor and his four people came from Yijingzhai after hearing the news, they saw that the star officials headed by Huang Chen had gathered together in the inner hall.

"Are you here? Sit down."

Huang Chen, who was sitting at the main seat and wearing a yellow-brown prison robe, glanced at a few people, nodded, and motioned to take a seat.

Huang He and Mu Yaoyao bowed respectfully and found chairs to sit down.

The God-Emperor went out in the form of a puppet, wearing a long black gauze dress, and the cold-looking Xue Ji looked confused.

The former asked without politeness:
"What's going on? I heard that the dean of Yunhuai Academy is coming to visit?"

No one was surprised by the tone of this "Adou God General".

After all, with his qualifications, he is indeed qualified to speak like this.

Huang Chen, the warden of Tuyuan, nodded, signaled a greeting note on the table, and said in a deep voice:
"I just arrived in the city early in the morning, and the post I sent later is still warm."

The God Emperor's horse, Jin Dao, pulled over a chair and sat down, grinning and saying:
"That's interesting. Didn't the other party say anything else?"

Xie Wensheng, who was sitting next to Huang Chen, looked like a dog-headed military advisor, and said in a neutral tone:

"We have sent people to keep an eye on it. Apart from meeting with the Yuhang magistrate, there is nothing left. It seems that Qintian Prison is the first one they visited."

The God Emperor was amazed and said with a smile:
"This attitude is a bit obvious, but it's not unexpected. These scholars seem to be strict about character, but in fact they are also very adaptable. Once the two clans start a war, the academy will bear the brunt and will definitely want to attract people to form an alliance.

The Taoist sect is the most powerful, but with such a huge disparity in strength, it is not a good candidate for alliance. Moreover, as the state religion, the Taoist sect will cooperate with the imperial court... The Beast Control Sect is also close to Daxizhou, but its sect The style of the sect has always been domineering, and if you form an alliance with it, you will probably bleed...

As for Mo Lin, he was in Qingzhou, which was the farthest away from Daxizhou, so it was difficult to take care of each other. After calculation, Qin Tianjian was indeed the most suitable, especially when the Imperial Master showed up and Xu Jianhou broke through. "

This analysis is an understatement, but it gets to the point.

Huang Chen and others were a little surprised, but they thought that the other party had followed the imperial master and became famous all over the world, and also studied under the god emperor. It was normal for him to have such knowledge.

"What the general God said is absolutely true." Huang Chen nodded, somewhat impressed.

The God Emperor said strangely:

"In that case, why are you calling us together to discuss? If you don't want to form an alliance, just refuse. If you want to see the situation, just meet and discuss it in detail."

Hearing this, Luo Huaizhu, Wang Xian and other star officials present also looked at Huang Chen with questioning expressions on their faces.

They were also confused about this and were called over in a daze.

Huang Chen looked around at everyone and said with a bitter smile:

"The question is, who's going to make the decision?"

Hearing this sentence, everyone was stunned.

Yes, who will make the decision?

The interests involved in such a major matter as sectarian alliance are too great. It is related to the fate of a sect, and of course not just anyone can represent it.

At least, with Huang Chen's identity, it's not enough.

"It stands to reason that for such a major matter, Jian Zheng must be informed and let him make the decision, but Jian Zheng cannot be contacted..."

Huang Chen said helplessly:

"If the supervisor is not here, according to the usual practice, a meeting of supervisors will be held to vote, but it is obviously too late to gather everyone for a vote."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Beside the table, Xue Ji looked on coldly and said:

"Isn't there still that Xu Jianhou? She is now the strongest star officer present."

Xue Ji's tone was a little cold. On the one hand, it was because of her personality, but on the other hand, she and Xu Xiurong were inexplicably uncomfortable with each other.

When Xu Xiurong arrived in Yuhang, the two parties met. At that time, Xue Ji clearly felt that Xu Xiurong had a slight hostility towards her, which was very strange.So the tone was not very respectful at this time.

The God Emperor also nodded in agreement:
"In my opinion, Xu Jianhou can come forward to receive the meeting, and then not give an answer on the spot, but delay it for a while to see the alliance conditions given by the other party, and then discuss it behind closed doors.

After all, the other party has already submitted a greeting card. If he refuses directly, it would be too much and there is no room for it.On the contrary, even if they meet and be known by other forces, it is actually not a bad thing. "

After all, the God-Emperor is an emperor, and he still has a strong vision of the overall situation.

With the current situation in Qin Tianjian, regardless of whether they form an alliance or not, meeting him is not a bad thing, but can actually increase his worth.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Xu Jianhou attend?" The God Emperor looked around in confusion.

Huang Chen became more depressed after hearing this and said:
"This is the key problem. Xu Jianhou is not in Yuhang City at the moment!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"Isn't Xu Jianhou here? Isn't she in seclusion?" Huang He couldn't help but say something.

Mu Yaoyao's eyes widened, her expression blank.

Huang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"A few days ago, Mr. Xu Jianhou went out on urgent matters and lied about being in seclusion. In order to avoid people's unrest, he did not make it public."

He ran away... Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Mu Yaoyao looked confused, suddenly thought of something, and slapped her head:
"No wonder, before I asked Master to correct my homework, she didn't even see me."

Case solved!
Huang He couldn't help but ask:

"Where did Xu Jianhou go? When will he come back?"

Huang Chen shook his head: "I don't know, she just said she was going to do something."

Everyone is numb.

Zhao Xinghuo said:

"Even if Xu Jianhou is not here, Huang Jianhou, you can just meet with Dean Chen as your representative. Anyway, don't agree to anything, just discuss it."

"Stupid!" Xue Ji folded her arms and said sarcastically.

Zhao Xinghuo stared, thinking that although you are a senior, why do you curse?

But the next second, the God Emperor said expressionlessly:
"It's really troublesome."

Seeing that there were still people who didn't understand, the God Emperor sighed and explained:
"Since ancient times, diplomacy has always emphasized equality of status. The dean of the academy is a figure of the same level as Jian Zheng. When visiting in person, even if Jian Zheng is not around, Xu Xiurong must come forward. This is in line with etiquette.

If Huang Chen is the representative, it will only send out two signals. One is that Qin Tianjian is deliberately humiliating Yunhuai Academy, which is obviously absolutely unacceptable.The second one is that Xu Xiurong is not in the city. "

After a pause, the God Emperor said with an ugly expression:
"And once the other party notices Xu Xiurong's absence, they will inevitably make associations. Just imagine, the summit is about to be held, what could possibly cause her to leave secretly?"

Luo Huaizhu, who never said a word and acted as a transparent person during the dinner, suddenly said:

"National Division."

The God Emperor nodded:

"That's right! Only important matters related to the Imperial Preceptor or the Imperial Preceptor will make Xu Jianhou leave, and now all forces are staring at the Imperial Preceptor's whereabouts.

Xu Xiurong left secretly, which shows that what she wanted to do was very secret and could not be exposed. However, if the outside world knew that she had left, it would inevitably prompt all parties to pursue the investigation frantically. In this way..."

Wang Xian's face changed slightly:

"In this way, it is likely to affect the actions of Xu Jianhou, thus causing unknown damage!"

Yes!

According to this logic, if Xu Xiurong's departure is indeed related to the National Preceptor, then if the news leaks, it may affect the "National Preceptor's arrangements"!
Even now, no one knows what Xu Xiurong did, but that doesn't matter!
Just understand that this has to be a big deal!
So what they have to do is help Xu Xiurong conceal his whereabouts until the other party comes back.

But Dean Chen's visit put this matter at risk of being exposed!

Everyone present was not stupid. They quickly figured out the logic. Lin Qin said:
"What about missing? Just reject the other party."

Xue Ji glanced at her, shook her head and sneered:

"Another fool. Direct refusal at this juncture is tantamount to completely cutting off the possibility of alliance. How can such a signal be released easily? Besides, can you guarantee that refusal will not arouse suspicion?
After all, in everyone's opinion, Qin Tianjian had no reason to refuse directly and not even meet him.Refusal at this time may make people suspicious. "

Lin Qin was speechless.

Everyone also fell into silence, and things seemed to be at a dead end. Neither rejection nor an interview was an option.

"Can it be delayed?" Huang He asked.

"How to delay?" Xue Ji shook her head, "Any reason that is not sufficient will arouse suspicion."

After all, she has been a saint of the Demon Cult for two lifetimes, and her vision is so much higher than these young star officials...

For a while, everyone was at a loss.

And as time goes by, the time gradually approaches the time of visit.

In the end, it was Huang Chen, the nominally highest official, who gritted his teeth and ordered to open the door to welcome the guests and receive them himself.

As for the rest, we can only do our best and listen to fate.

Procrastinate as long as you can.

……

……

Shortly after the decision was made, the chariot from Yunhuai Academy arrived outside the academy as promised.

This visit was grand in scale, and all the masters from the academy, as well as Qin Leyou and Han Qingsong, were among them.

"Dean, the academy has arrived."

Following the disciple's call, the curtain of the carriage was raised. Dean Chen, wearing a Confucian robe, a Confucian crown, and a long beard, stepped out of the carriage and looked at the plaque on the steps with his hands behind his hands.

The vermilion gate had already been opened, and the Qintian Supervisor star officials lined up to greet them.

"Huang Chen, the eunuch of Qin Tian Jian, has met Dean Chen. I am disappointed to see you from afar, but I hope you will take care of me." Huang Chen saluted respectfully and gave him enough cards.

The old dean smiled and nodded. He was approachable and could not see the aura of the half-step god.

The group first exchanged greetings, then entered the academy, and waited until the guests and hosts were seated in the reception hall.

The old dean smiled and glanced at everyone present, then waved his hand and ordered his disciples to deliver the gift boxes they brought, and said with a smile:
"The day before yesterday, I heard that Xu Jianhou, a disciple of the National Master, was promoted to the realm of observing the sky. Our Yunhuai Academy specially prepared a small gift to express our congratulations. I wonder why Xu Jianhou did not see him?"

coming!

Hearing this, the hearts of the people in the Qintian Prison sank. After all, they could not avoid the inquiries that were coming.

Huang Chen's expression did not change. He first bowed his hands to express his thanks and ordered others to accept the gifts. Then he said with regret:
"Dean Chen is here, and Junior Sister Xu should have received it in person, but unfortunately, Junior Sister has not been promoted for a long time and is not stable. In the past few days, she has been studying the manuscripts of the Imperial Master and has occasionally gained something, so she has been in seclusion to ponder...

When it comes to the level of heaven-observing cultivation, Huang's cultivation level is low and he doesn't know the importance. He really doesn't dare to influence it, so he suppresses the matter and does not inform his junior sister.What a discourtesy. I hope Dean Chen Haihan will do the same. "

After saying this, the faces of the Yunhuai Academy group changed slightly.

Some young disciples looked angry:

Confucianism values ​​courtesy, so for this visit, the dean of his family personally came to the door and prepared generous gifts, which was a sign of respect.

But the other party had such an attitude that he didn't even want to meet him and only sent someone to meet him... In his opinion, it was tantamount to humiliation.

Many of the masters, however, were thinking more deeply and looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.

The old dean's face was as calm as ever, and he couldn't see any sullenness at all. He just said in surprise:
"Retreat? Xu Jianhou has realized something. It is indeed a big deal. However, the summit is about to be held. It is surprising that he chooses to retreat at this time."

These words were light and gentle, but when they fell on everyone's ears, they felt a huge pressure enveloped the house!

Huang Chen, who was nearest, could only force a smile. Behind him, the God Emperor, Xue Ji and others also felt the pressure.

In the realm of observing the sky, spiritual consciousness is invisible and can affect people's emotions.

People like Dean Chen, who are "half-step divine treasures", can oppress everyone's souls with just a thought.

"This matter... is Huang's selfish intention. If he offends me, I still hope... I still hope..."

Cold sweat was secreting from Huang Chen's temples like crazy. He could feel his heart beating like a drum. His eyes were turning black, and the spiritual energy in the sea of ​​energy was suppressed to the point where he couldn't move.

In his eyes, the old Confucian scholar sitting peacefully across from him was as scary as the mountains with no top.

He clearly didn't move, just looking down at him calmly.

The pressure made it difficult for him, who was sitting at the top of the well, to breathe, and his limbs were cold!
His heart sank little by little!

Knowing that his "excuse" was of no use, the other party was obviously suspicious.

Thinking that if this matter is allowed to develop, it may destroy the "big event", Huang Chen is confused and racking his brains, but he can't think of a way to solve it.

Although the God Emperor and others did not face the pressure directly, they sighed deeply in their hearts and realized that the situation was out of control.

However, there was silence in the hall and everyone was almost suffocated.

Suddenly, there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the hall.

Then, the closed door was suddenly pulled by an invisible force and opened with a bang!

Everyone turned their heads suddenly, looked outside, and then were shocked.

I saw a large group of monks suddenly breaking in.

The first two people were Xu Xiurong, who was wearing a dark green official robe, with slim eyebrows and a graceful neck.

Next to her, who was vaguely the real core figure, was a young man wearing a green shirt with a calm and calm expression.

Ji Ping'an glanced at everyone, his eyes fell on the old Confucian scholar, he raised his eyebrows, and smiled without emotion:
"What a fun time. It seems that we are back at the right time."
