Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 366: I, Zhang Juzheng, can’t control the Banshan Courtyard?
The mountain breeze blew, and the master looked quietly into the distance.

Zhuang Moxuan looked up. He didn't know why the teacher made such an arrangement.

"Mo Xuan, as the headmaster of Bailu Academy, your vision cannot be limited to Bailu Mountain or Qingtian Continent."

"Even, we can't just see the Grandmaster level."

The Master's voice sounded slowly.

Outside of Qingtianzhou, Zhuang Moxuan knew that Qingtianzhou's Confucianism and Taoism could be supported by Yongtianzhou and Daqin.

But after all, they are far away in the void, and the support that Qin can provide is not really that much.

As the acting principal of Bailu Academy, Zhuang Moxuan knew exactly how many people in the academy came from Yongtianzhou.

As for what the Master said about not only seeing the Grandmaster realm, Zhuang Moxuan felt that it was too far away.

Even the Master has reached the point of stagnation in his cultivation, without making any progress for a hundred years?
Could he possibly imagine that illusory great master of heaven and earth?

"Master, I—"

Before Zhuang Moxuan could finish his words, the teacher waved his hand.

"The situation on Qingtian Continent has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. It's time to break it. Young people are smart, and they might bring more possibilities to Qingtian Continent..."

The Master's voice was leisurely as his figure dissipated from the spot.

Zhuang Moxuan sighed softly and walked away slowly.

……

In three days, Zhang Yuan and Kong Wenyuan walked around Bailu Mountain.

Students and teachers from the upper and lower courtyards, inner and outer courtyards, and fifteenth courtyard all came to see his junior uncle.

Zhang Yuan has a tall and straight figure, and even though he is wearing a Confucian robe, he still exudes a heroic spirit that is rare among Confucian and Taoist students.

"Is this Zhang Juzheng, the black-stained sky? He looks really young..."

"Hush, Junior Uncle-Master, he is the Master's direct disciple, how can you address him by his first name?"

"The Master taught me personally, the Master is not in seclusion—"

Many people on Bailu Mountain are curious about Zhang Yuan, who is said to have mastered the art of painting and was a direct disciple of a master who practiced both Confucianism and martial arts.

Zhang Yuan is too young, and it is really hard for people to associate him with the identity of a master.

What's more, Zhang Yuan was an easy-going person and spoke humbly when talking to students from various colleges.

When facing those teachers, he treated them with the courtesy of juniors.

In Zhang Yuan's opinion, these people who have practiced for dozens or hundreds of years and supported the Confucianism and Taoism in Qingtianzhou are worthy of his respect.

"Teacher Zhang Sicheng, a poem about iron cavalry and swords can carry you through a three-thousand-mile battle and stop a hundred thousand soldiers."

"Li Shouren, the head of the Upper House, uses poetry as his sword, each word a sword, and the sword's light is as bright as the stars."

"The great scholar Chen Zhengyan's words are as follows: his words are followed by the law; his book is a collection of mountains and rivers, which can calm the mountains and rivers."

……

"In my opinion, the Confucianism and Taoism in Qingtianzhou are different from those in Yongtianzhou. They focus more on combat."

"If you are not familiar with the fighting methods outside Yongtianzhou, you may suffer losses if you rashly go to Qingtianzhou."

In the small courtyard of Chunshantu, Zhang Yuan wrote down his feelings in his travel notes.

Zuoqiu Ren gathered thousands of Confucian students in Zhengyang County. Although most of these young people were passionate, they had little experience in the struggle between Confucianism and Taoism.

Such people need to be tempered and master Confucian and Taoist tactics before they can travel on Qingtian Continent.

Not only them, even the Qin army, if they really arrive in Qingtianzhou, they will have to adapt to the fighting methods on Qingtianzhou.

Closing the travelogue, Zhang Yuan looked at another long table. Zhao Yu and Kong Lingjun were exchanging ideas on military formations and tactics, which were surprisingly smooth and coordinated.

Kong Lingjun was very impressed by Zhao Yu's research on the Eight Diagrams and other military formations, and even couldn't help but invite Zhao Yu to Xuanji Academy.

But for the time being, Zhao Yu definitely cannot make the trip.

"There are various reports in the Imperial City that the Spring Hunt is being taken seriously by all parties, and they are all interested in vying for the top spot."

"The Imperial Concubine asked all the women in the courtyard to participate in the Spring Hunt, but I'm not interested in that kind of thing. The Spring Hunt is a good opportunity to sell those fine swords."

"Sister Yuqing and I have already discussed this. We're taking this opportunity to sell some of the treasures in Liangyuan Territory..."

Zhao Yu wrote a lot of scattered things, and the last sentence made Zhang Yuan's eyes light up.

"I've learned the Colorful Dance. Do you want to see it?"

……

Although he wanted to see Zhao Yu's colorful dance, Zhang Yuan still straightened his clothes, took the jade token, and walked out of the courtyard where he lived.

He will take over the rock and move the mountain between the two houses.

"Greetings, Dean."

In the Panshi Courtyard, dozens of figures wearing green robes or soft armor clasped their fists.

Panshiyuan is the internal guard of Bailu Mountain, with 30,000 guards responsible for guarding the area both openly and secretly.

Zhang Yuan nodded, and glanced over, clearly seeing the identities and cultivation levels of the Rock Guard commanders in front of him.

The patrol commander Zhou Shucheng, a Vajra Grandmaster of martial arts, is one of the most powerful martial artists on Bailu Mountain.

The leader of the secret guards, Sun Wenzhu, practices both Taoism and Confucianism, both of which are at the peak of the innate realm. With the Confucian treasure in hand, he has the combat power of a master.

In addition to these two, there are He Zhiming, Han Mo and others who are responsible for guarding the inner and outer courtyards on the mountain and guarding the back mountain where the master lives.

In Panshi Academy alone, there are three grandmasters, dozens of masters in the Xiantian realm, and masters of both Confucianism and martial arts, and Confucianism and Taoism.

As worthy of being the first of the four major academies, Bailu Mountain does have a lot of heritage.

"Commander Han Mo, give me a copy of the patrol arrangements and route map for the mountain behind where the Master lives."

"Commander Zhou, I will take the time to visit all the guard camps in Bailu Mountain. You will accompany me then."

Zhang Yuan looked at Zhou Shucheng and Han Mo.

The two of them hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed: "Yes."

Zhang Yuan was not familiar with Panshi Court for the time being, and did not directly intervene in its operations. He just took some defense maps and rosters and left.

"The dean is so young, ah..." Someone whispered as they watched him leave.

"He is the master's direct disciple. It is understandable that he is in charge of Panshi Academy and is responsible for the defense of Bailu Mountain. I just hope that he will not interfere." Han Mo, who was standing next to Zhou Shucheng, said in a low voice with a sullen face.

The others looked at each other, said nothing more, and dispersed.

No matter where you are, no one will be too enthusiastic about the sudden arrival of the chief officer.

After all, most of these people who know nothing, are unfamiliar with anything, and only rely on connections will have a counterproductive effect.

……

Banshanyuan is located on the hillside of Bailu Mountain, not far from other places for Confucian and Taoist practice and teaching.

When he arrived in front of the Banshan Courtyard, Zhang Yuan felt a spirit entering the Spring Mountain Painting.

It is Zhao Yu's painting "Spring Mountain".

Colorful dance?
Want to see.

"Zhang Juzheng, you go back first. I will personally tell the Master that it is better for me to take charge of the Banshan Courtyard."

As soon as he stepped onto the stone steps, a voice was heard from the Banshan Courtyard.

Meng Shuyao.

When Zhang Yuan met this third senior sister two days ago, she was wearing a Confucian robe and looked elegant with a hint of charm. But what he saw today was different.

Even though she was wearing green soft armor, an iron crown to tie her hair, and holding a spear, she still retained the charm of the most beautiful woman on Bailu Mountain.

However, in Zhang Yuan's eyes, the most beautiful woman in Bailu Mountain is naturally not as worth looking forward to as Zhao Yu's colorful dance.

"Third Senior Sister, go and tell the Master in person?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and turned to leave.

This scene stunned the masters standing in the Moving Mountain Courtyard.

gone?

Meng Shuyao was also slightly surprised.

"Hey, this kid is really cunning. He knows that he can't control our Banshan Courtyard, so he uses the donkey to go downhill. He is quite smart--"

A chuckle was heard.

Zhang Yuan paused in his tracks.

Zhao Yu, who didn't wait for him, had already left the Spring Mountain Painting.

This girl danced for him, but she mustered up the courage. Now that she's gone, I don't know when I'll have another chance.

Zhang Yuan turned around slowly.

He is in no hurry to leave now.

"I, Zhang Juzheng, can't control the Banshan Courtyard?"
