The God of the Three Kingdoms will come

On the next day, Ling Xiao received the imperial edict, bid farewell to Zhang Rang, and Ling Xiao turned to Wang Yun's mansion.

Although this matter was mainly arranged by Han Lingdi and Zhang Rang, they also relied on Wang Yun's contacts after all, otherwise, if someone objected in the court, the reward would not be so easy.

Because of emotion and reason, Ling Xiao should pay another visit.

"Haha, my virtuous nephew is indeed not someone in the pool. If he can make such a great contribution, he must have a large number of elite soldiers!" This time I saw Wang Yun in the study, not as formal as before, but a little more close to the meaning.

"My lord's praise, I'm just a coincidence, just happened to happen, and if I don't have my lord's help this time, I'm afraid that my job as a rebellious general will be turbulent for the rest of my life. Please accept a little courtesy."

Naturally, the gifts given to Wang Yun couldn't be the same as Zhang Rang's. For Wang Yun, who has read poetry and books, giving jewelry and money is undoubtedly a mockery.

Therefore, what Ling Xiao gave was really a "thin gift", it was just a thin gift in the eyes of the world!

Civil servants like this are more or less interested in playing chess. What Ling Xiao gave Wang Yun was a chessboard, and it was just a chessboard without pieces.

However, the material used for this chessboard is hard to find in the world. It is made of leftover ten thousand-year-old star wood scraps left over from the construction of the Tianji Pavilion. It is more than three feet long, and the criss-cross patterns on it are natural, without any artificial carving Mark of.

This is the grain of the Ten Thousand Years Star Wood, the effect presented by special techniques. Although it does not look so regular and straight, it has a unique charm.

Wang Yun just glanced at it and couldn't look away anymore. He seemed to be in thousands of stars, and endless astrology revolved around him.

"My lord, my lord?"

Seeing that Wang Yun hadn't moved for a long time, Ling Xiao had to call out twice.

Hearing Ling Xiao's voice, the vision in Wang Yun's eyes suddenly disappeared, and there was a look of incompleteness on his face.

"This thing is really incomparably mysterious, and the old man couldn't refuse it, so he accepted it cheekily."

"What do you say, my lord, it's just a chessboard, as long as my lord doesn't dislike it!"

Wang Yun glanced at Ling Xiao, but didn't say much.

He is not an ignorant person either. The chessboard can have such a vision, so how can it be a common thing? Just at that moment, he felt that his soul had been baptized, and his thinking became more active. The accumulated mental pressure seems to be released in an instant, and there is a pleasant feeling of swimming in the sea of ​​stars.

It has to be said that Wang Yun was still very surprised that Ling Xiao's attack was extraordinary.

Whether it's the elixir before or the chessboard with the stars and stars, it all shows that the young man in front of him has a profound background, and his subordinates are absolutely capable and talented, otherwise how can he get these ordinary talents? Spiritual creatures that cannot exist in the world!

The evaluation of Ling Xiao secretly improved a lot in his heart, Wang Yun then asked aloud: "I wonder how long my nephew will stay in Luoyang this time?"

"Nowadays the Yellow Turban bandits are so powerful that His Majesty values ​​them. He has been appointed as the Rebellious General. He should have the responsibility to wipe out the rebels in the world as soon as possible and share the worries of His Majesty. Therefore, they will leave in three days. What's the matter, my lord?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just that there will be a Confucianism and Taoism conference tomorrow, and the old man wants to invite my nephew to participate."

"Dare to ask this Confucianism and Taoism conference..."

Ling Xiao had never heard of this thing in his previous life. He only knew that there was Yuedan Commentary, which was hosted by Brother Xu Shao from Runan County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It was an activity to criticize and criticize contemporary figures or poems, calligraphy and paintings, but I wanted to come to Confucianism and Taoism The meeting should be about the same as this one. If so, Ling Xiao is not very interested.

It's really boring to listen to a group of people talking about the mountains there. If you have this kind of skill, you might as well go to practice.

"Oh, the so-called Confucianism and Taoism conference is a gathering of some great Confucians in Luoyang City. It is held once a year. This time it is held in Cai Daru's mansion. I wonder if my nephew would be interested?"

"Go, I must go next time!"

He thought the Confucianism and Taoism Conference was a gathering of young people, but he didn't expect that they were all Confucian-level figures, which is cheating.

During this period, there were not many great Confucianists, such as Zheng Xuan and Ma Rizun (di), who were in the field, and Yang Biao, a representative of the Hongnong Yang family, and Lu Zhi, who is still in office. , as well as Kong Rong from Beihai, and of course Situ Wangyun in front of him.

These people are all very famous people in the world, and many of them are high-ranking ministers.

If you can become familiar with these people, and even if you can get the appreciation of those people, then you will have quite deep connections in the court.

I have to say that this gift is worth it, if not, how could Wang Yun invite such a young man as Ling Xiao to a party in their circle!

Wang Yun took out a post from the desk and handed it to Ling Xiao.

"This is a greeting card, you can take it to Cai Mansion tomorrow, and the old man will not go with you."

"Understand!"

Ling Xiao naturally knew what Wang Yun meant, the current relationship between the two should not be known to too many people, that's why Wang Yun asked Ling Xiao to take the greeting card over, instead of him personally taking it.

After all, Ling Xiao is now considered a man of the day in Luoyang City. His Majesty has publicly praised him in the court, and he has already held a high position at a young age. This is far beyond the reach of those second-generation officials in Luoyang City, and he has offended him virtually. some people.

Moreover, Ling Xiao is the prefect of Yanmen after all, if he gets too close to the people in the court, he will easily be offended, so it is better to separate.

Ling Xiao who left Situ Mansion did not go back to the inn, but rushed to a dense forest outside the city.

As if sensing Ling Xiao's breath, Zidian Dragon Eagle, who was playing with small animals alone in the dense forest, spread its hooves and started running towards Ling Xiao. The speed directly brought out a vacuum runway.

"Okay, I know you're bored, I'll bear with it for a few more days, and then I promise to take you all over the world. Call your old lady over now, I have something to do."

Touching Zidian Longying's head, Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Although this kind of thing can be directly transmitted through the soul, after all, it is already bound to its soul, but Ling Xiao feels that it is more sensible to say it. In his eyes, Zidian Dragon Eagle is a child, not a strange beast.

The reason why Ling Xiao wanted the Giant Eagle to come over was to ask the Giant Eagle to help him pick up something from the Dragon Whale Ship. This thing was a gift for tomorrow when he visited Cai's Mansion. After all, he couldn't go there empty-handed.

Although Wang Yun didn't mention this problem, as a newcomer to the conference, Ling Xiao still has this point.

Although Cai Yong is now at home and is not considered a high-ranking official, there is no doubt that he has a high reputation among the gentry and his influence is not trivial, so Ling Xiao will naturally not neglect.

The next day, Ling Xiao came to Cai's mansion dressed as a literati, and entered the mansion after handing over the letter of worship.

But at this moment, a system notification sound suddenly came from Ling Xiao's ear.

Chapter 256

"The player triggers the hidden plot: Confucianism and Taoism are the most holy."

"This task is an open task, and the content and completion of the task are up to the players to explore."

"Task Reward: Unknown"

This……

Ling Xiao was stunned when he heard the task prompt, he didn't understand what the task was asking him to do.

In fact, there are many special plot missions like this, such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei's green plums cooking wine and discussing heroes. If players can encounter this scene, they can also trigger the mission. As for the mission requirements, the system will not clearly state it. You are free to play.

Apparently Ling Xiao has encountered this kind of special plot task now.

Stepping on the bluestone floor, Ling Xiao didn't stop, and followed the servants of the mansion to the living room, secretly thinking about what to do next.

The next moment, Ling Xiao's heart moved, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the living room was already filled with those highly respected contemporary Confucians, but the meeting had not yet started, so they were just chatting, not talking about classics, righteousness and current affairs.

At this time, Wang Yun was chatting with an old man with his head sideways, but no one knew exactly what they were talking about.

These people are people with profound spiritual power, so for them, building a sound barrier is too simple.

Moreover, all the people here are respectable people, so naturally they would not brazenly use their mental power to eavesdrop. If this is discovered, they will be praised to death!

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the door of the living room, and then a young man walked in slowly, carrying a flat and long box behind him.

The visitor's eyes are like stars, coupled with a pair of sword eyebrows that enter the temples, he can be called handsome and handsome. Although he is dressed in simple and elegant long clothes, he has a heroic spirit!

And maybe it's because Ling Xiao is a modern person, with a special aura that the ancients didn't have in his gestures.

"There are young people with such a unique temperament in the world!"

Everyone in the hall stopped talking, and their eyes were naturally attracted by Ling Xiao.

"Whose child is this?"

One of the white-haired old scholars asked aloud.

At this time, Wang Yun who was sitting in the upper seat said: "This must be the prefect Ling Xiaoling who was rewarded by His Majesty in the court hall a few days ago."

With these words, Wang Yun introduced Ling Xiao's identity calmly, but at the same time, he would not give people the feeling that the two of them had known each other for a long time.

"Xia Lingxiao, people from Bingzhou, have met you gentlemen!"

Ling Xiao saluted several great Confucian scholars one by one. The courtesy was in place, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. In his movements, he had the elegance of a literati and the straightforwardness of a military commander, perfectly combining the characteristics of the two.

"It turned out that it was Ling Xiao, the prefect of Yanmen who broke through a million yellow scarves and beheaded the yellow scarf Daqu Shuai Bocai. Looking at it now, he is really extraordinary!"

Obviously, many of you here have heard of Ling Xiao's heroic deeds, and an old man immediately praised him.

Ling Xiao looked over at the old man who spoke, and saw that he was sitting at the first place, he must be the owner here, Cai Yong and Cai Daru!

Ling Xiao nodded and smiled at Cai Yong, bowed slightly and saluted.

"Ok!"

There was also a smile of approval on Cai Yong's serious face.

He nodded to Ling Xiao, signaling him to take a seat.

However, not everyone here is pleasing to Ling Xiao, such as the Grand Tutor sitting at the lower left of Cai Yong.

He saw that Ling Xiao's demeanor was extraordinary, suave and suave, even better than the two of his own.

The key point was still valued by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, so the Taifu Yuan Wei felt a little unhappy, his face darkened, and he said coldly: "How can I let a yellow-mouthed child sit down where I am waiting for great scholars to talk about scriptures and Taoism?"

The voice came to everyone's ears clearly, but Ling Xiao didn't seem to hear it. He sat down on his own, and took a sip of the tea cup in front of him naturally.

Ling Xiao's actions were naturally noticed by Yuan Kai, his pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Oh? Then how can I be qualified to take a seat?"

Ling Xiao put down the teacup, looked directly at Yuan Kai and asked.

Yuan Kai frowned, he didn't expect Ling Xiao to be so shameless, and directly confronted himself.

If Ling Xiao knew what Yuan Kui was thinking, he would definitely have laughed. You don’t give me any face at all. I’ll give you some face. It’s great that you are a grand tutor. You’re not the one who was killed by Dong Zhuo. What's so exciting.

"Hmph, at least you have to know the Confucian classics. If a common man who only knows how to fight and kill can be placed among the great Confucians like me, wouldn't it be a big joke!"

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Yuan Kai's words, Ling Xiao suddenly burst out laughing.

"Laughing indulgently in public, such a disrespectful person is not worthy to sit in this hall!"

Yuan Kui saw that Ling Xiao not only did not restrain himself, but actually laughed wantonly, he couldn't help scolding.

"What I'm laughing at is, you, a person who doesn't even understand the essence of Confucianism and Taoism, how can you have the face to sit in this hall!"

"Heh~ Huangkou kid, talk nonsense! This old man is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and has all the teachings of Confucianism firmly in his heart. He even said that this old man doesn't understand the essence of Confucianism. He simply doesn't know what it means!"

"Oh? If that's the case, why don't you even understand what Confucius said?"

"This……"

Yuan Kai was choked by Ling Xiao's words, and knew that he was reckless, but he didn't expect to fall into this kid's way.

But one thing is strange to him, logically speaking, he is not such an irritable person, why he lost the city of the past in the face of this son.

There's something wrong with this kid, it's really weird, it's better to be more careful.

Thinking of this, Yuan Kai didn't say much, and turned his eyes away from Ling Xiao.

In fact, the reason why Yuan Kai's heart changed like this was entirely because he was targeting Ling Xiao.

As a person with prosperous luck, Ling Xiao is blessed by the luck of heaven and earth, and all those who target him will lose their sense of control invisibly, and thus unconsciously do some stupid things.

There is also a professional term for this kind of situation, reducing intelligence to strike!

"That's well said, such a man who is educated without discrimination, old man Kong Rong, I would like to toast my little friend."

In terms of knowledge, Kong Rong may not be the top one here, but in terms of status, he is the most special one.

There is no way, he is a descendant of the sage Confucius, and in Confucianism, no one dares to fight against this man!

As a descendant of Confucius, when Ling Xiao mentioned the most reasonable saying of his ancestors, he naturally felt very cordial.

"Kong Lao's heart is broken, it should be the boy who respects you!"

Ling Xiao is like this, people respect me a foot, I respect others, and vice versa.

His personality might easily make enemies in the officialdom, but it doesn't matter, as long as his fists are big.

"Okay, okay, Brother Yuan is rigorous and meticulous in his studies, and he is also very strict with others. In addition, he is not very familiar with Ling Xiaoyou's talents, so he said such things. I hope Ling Xiaoyou will not take it to heart!"

"Come, come, the time is almost up. Lu Daru has not yet returned from leading troops to suppress the Yellow Turban bandits, so he can only be absent this year. Let the Confucianism and Taoism Conference officially begin."

As the person in charge, Cai Yong naturally wouldn't let the atmosphere go down so awkwardly, so he found a way for both of them to step down!
