The next morning, in front of the gate of the Daihou Mansion, the housekeeper Zhao Zhu had just sent off a guest when he saw an ox cart coming and stopped in front of the mansion.

A man jumped out of the car, saw Zhao Zhu standing at the door, and immediately stepped forward to salute: "Steward Zhao." ”

"Are you?" Seeing that someone was coming again, Zhao Zhu felt a little drumming in his heart, and he had a bad premonition.

As soon as the man spoke, he really verified Zhao Zhu's hunch.

"Steward Zhao, I am the steward of Yao Mansion, this time I came here to report to the Marquis on behalf of my lord, my lord went out of Beijing last night because of something at home, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for ten days and half a month, and I can't participate in the meeting in a few days, this ...... You see?"

"Did your old man have something to do that day?" This is the third time to excuse himself today, and the expression on Zhao Zhu's face is a little unbearable.

He frowned: "I'm just a housekeeper, and I can't make my own decisions about this matter, so you come with me and go to see Mr. Jian, who is in charge of the Wenhui." ”

As he spoke, he led this person to see Jian Qu.

The guest who had just sent away had resigned from the Wenhui for the host, and Jian Qu was depressed, when he saw Zhao Zhu leading another person to find him, his heart sank.

Waiting for the person to say what he meant, Jian Qu's mood was indescribable, and he had to suppress the surging anger, and reluctantly exchanged a few words with the visitor, and heard that Yao Xun, who he invited, had left Beijing last night, and he was even more dissatisfied, so he had to smile reluctantly: "Even if that's the case, there is no way, I hope I will have a chance next time." ”

asked Zhao Zhu to send this steward out, and he slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, angrily: "What does this mean?

"What, someone has repented?" asked a man who pushed the door in from outside.

Jian Qu looked up and saw that the person who came in was Cen Rubai, who was his own person, so he couldn't help but tell Cen Rubai about the three refusals that came in an hour.

Cen Rubai frowned when he heard this, and said after a long time: "You can't blame them all for this, Lord Jane, I'm afraid you don't know, now there are rumors in the capital that whoever comes to our mansion to participate in the cultural meeting will evil King Qi, and it is not surprising to have this reaction." ”

The King of Qi is the most vocal and powerful one among the kings, and he has also been operating in Beijing for many years, which really makes many people afraid of it.

Jian Qu heard this and frowned: "That's right, but if everyone is afraid of King Qi and doesn't dare to come to the Daihou Mansion, won't this literary meeting be impossible to start?

This is the first literary meeting held by the lord after his naturalization, and he can't even open it, so he will lose face at home.

Cen Rubai muttered: "Don't report this to the Lord in advance, if someone comes to excuse it, we will immediately visit the guests again, and invite some new guests, and strive to let the guests come more. ”

Jian Qu agreed: "That being the case, I asked people to list some famous scholars in the capital, and those who were officials could not be invited because of suspicion, but there were many people in Beijing, and there were still some local talents, if they were famous, they could also send invitations and invite them to participate in the meeting." ”

In the whole capital, the number of people and talents is very considerable, and there are still a lot of people who are selected among them, and they don't believe it, and there are not even a dozen people who are enough!

The wild Taoist standing at the door happened to hear the conversation, and was going to go in, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, and turned around and walked towards Su Ziji's courtyard.

When he arrived at the study, he found that the Lord was sitting there quietly playing music, and he was not an outsider, nor did he pay attention to politeness, so he sat aside and waited quietly.

"The Lord asked me to stop the steward of the Qi Palace, and sent ten taels of silver to the steward Chen, what is the purpose?"

"It's also strange to say, although this Chen steward is usually greedy for money, but when he speaks and does things, he is cautious and never good at making claims, but not long after receiving the silver, he actually released words in the Qinglou, and asked me to spread the news of publication, which caused an undercurrent in the capital to surge and discuss. ”

"Isn't this move of the Lord to show weakness to Your Majesty? But in this way, the Hou Mansion will hold an unwritten meeting, and this face will be lost. ”

"It's really what I guessed, the Lord has sacrificed a lot, how important is his first appearance, but the Lord can step on his face and use it to dig a pit for King Qi, I'm afraid that no matter how suspicious people are, they won't believe it, there is the master's handiwork in this. ”

When the wild Dao people pondered in their hearts, Su Ziji had already finished silently playing the score.

"[Panlong Heart Method] +10, level 15 (5/15000), qualification +1, qualification 17→18 (10), Wenxin Carving Dragon obtains [only words]!"

"Finally upgraded. ”

Suddenly, Su Ziji's eyes lost focus, and it seemed that he had seen through the void, crossed the boundary of time and space, and projected to the distant other side......

In the vicinity of Panlong Lake, the restored Dragon Maiden Temple has all been replaced with new names, and there are also some incense burners due to the rain caused by the Dragon Maiden's locust extermination.

"Hello Master. A young man swept the floor diligently and greeted him when he saw it.

"Okay!" The old man Sun of the ancestral hall had a smile on his face, he was a lonely old man, just this apprentice, he was regarded as a son, this apprentice was fooled and followed to make trouble, advocating that the water temple be changed to a locust shrine, and was punished with hard labor, and now he is finally back, and he has become respectful and diligent, which is a great thing.

At this moment, all of a sudden, his body shook, and the apprentice hurriedly held on: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Didn't you hear?" Old Man Sun was stunned.

“......”

The apprentice didn't hear anything, but Old Man Sun did, and a deep and majestic dragon roar radiated in all directions, surging like the sea, and like a storm in the sky, filling the sky with no end.

And people's eyes involuntarily turn to Panlong Lake, which is the center.

"Lord, Lord?" The whisper in his ear made Su Ziji wake up, and he was stunned, only to realize that he had been out of his mind for a few minutes.

Su Ziji looked at the window in a daze, the sky was still dark, but suddenly, the cracks in the clouds cracked, and the sunlight shone down and was shining on his body.

"Is this authority?" Su Ziji felt the authority contained in it, and his heart was hot, and it was difficult to distinguish at this time, and he experienced new changes.

"Just a few words?" Su Ziji found that when he upgraded in the [Panlong Heart Method], Wenxin Carving Dragon was also upgraded.

"Just a few words: within a controllable range, using this technique on a person can make them say a sentence or two that the caster wants in a specific environment, and it will not be doubted. ”

This kind of skill is in the same vein as the previous [Wenxin Carving Dragon], but [Wenxin Carving Dragon] affects emotions, after winning the skill, it is activated by keywords or the environment, and what words will be said, in fact, it varies from person to person, and it cannot be controlled, and it is prone to some errors.

But [just a few words], but it can allow the person who is being used to say a specific sentence or two in a specific environment, this kind of skill is simply a fairy technique.
