Chapter 146, 147, 148, The battle between the witches! Shi Feixuan's questions
Facing Shan Meixian's all-out counterattack.
Zhu Yuyan snorted softly, her deep black pupils flashed blue, and she suddenly burst out with all her strength.
In an instant, her long, straight black hair fluttered in the air without wind. The demonic force field activated by decades of skills easily blocked the counter-attack of Shan Meixian's force field, and once again forced Shan Meixian's demonic force field to retreat inch by inch.
Although the two were at the same level, Shan Meixian's skills were pure and profound, and she didn't look like she had neglected them for many years. However, Zhu Yuyan's decades of practice in the Heavenly Demon Skills made her much stronger than Shan Meixian's after all.
As the two force fields pressed against each other with all their might, a wild gust of wind as strong as a hurricane suddenly blew up in the small hall.
The whistling of the wind was mixed with loud bangs and explosions, making it sound like a strong wind and thunder and lightning.
Amidst this terrifying noise, the small building began to tremble continuously, and the floor, beams, and walls all groaned and creaked under the heavy weight. A round stool at the center of the two-person force field exploded with a crack, and some of the broken wood flew into the air, floating lightly like feathers, while others were crushed to the floor and shattered into powder.
If this continues, the entire bamboo building will probably be shattered under the force field of the two.
"That's it for now."
Seeing a crack in the beam above his head, Ouyang Feng suddenly spoke:
"This is not your home. It's really rude to stay in someone else's house and then destroy it."
As he spoke, an invisible cold current emanated from his body and rushed forward. The two invisible force fields suddenly stiffened slightly at the same time, as if they were frozen by the cold current.
Zhu Yuyan chuckled, took the opportunity to stop her power, and slowly withdrew from the demon force field.
Shan Meixian also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, her skills were not as deep and pure as Yin Hou's. If they continued fighting, she would not be able to hold on, so she quickly stopped.
When the two force fields were withdrawn, the small hall became calm again, as if nothing had happened. Only the shattered stool and a small crack on the beam proved the fight that had just taken place.
Ouyang Feng looked at Zhu Yuyan again and said calmly:
"It's getting late, Queen Yin, please go back and rest early."
How could Zhu Yuyan be willing to leave when none of her questions were answered?
But looking at Shan Meixian, and thinking about the miracle of her Heavenly Demonic Art, he finally sighed and said:
"I bid farewell."
After saying this, his figure flashed and flew gracefully to the terrace, then disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her leave, Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shan Wanjing rushed to Shan Meixian and asked:
"Mother, are you injured?"
"No." Shan Meixian said with a smile: "The Heavenly Demon Force Field is essentially just a display of power. It is very effective against the weak and can sweep across a large area. But against the strong, it can only play a certain role of containment and harassment. With my mother's current cultivation, even if I don't use the force field to resist, even if Zhu Yuyan's force field is overwhelming, her force field can't easily destroy my body protection true qi and hurt me."
Shan Wanjing patted her chest and said with a smile:
"But the noise you made was really scary. The building almost collapsed."
Shan Meixian smiled and said, "That's right, it's not bad to use the demon force field to demolish the house."
After saying this, she looked towards Ouyang Feng with her beautiful eyes and bowed to him.
"Thank you for your help, sir. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have been able to hold on. Even if I wasn't injured, I'm afraid I would have made a fool of myself. For me, making a fool of myself in front of Zhu Yuyan is more painful than killing me."
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "We are all family, no need to be polite."
Shan Meixian bowed again, "Also, before you even opened your mouth, I stepped in and confronted the Queen. Please forgive me for my impoliteness, sir."
Ouyang Feng raised the corner of his lips slightly, revealing a subtle smile, and said:
"Madam, you are too kind. It is getting late. Madam has been traveling all the way and fighting with the Queen of Yin. I think she must be tired. Wanjing, arrange for Madam to rest."
"Okay." Shan Wanjing responded and took Shan Meixian's arm. "Let's go. I'll arrange a room for you."
"I just had a fight with the Queen Yin. Although I am not injured, I am a little tired. Wanjing, please help me massage my body later."
"Ok."
"Would you like to talk to me again? I really want to know about your experiences since we left Jiangdu."
"I haven't met any serious masters along the way, so there's nothing much to say..."
The mother and daughter went out chatting and laughing, closing the door behind them.
Ouyang Feng sat on the low couch, watched the two leave, closed his eyes, and continued to ponder and comprehend the "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound".
Previously in the main world, after Huang Yaoshi came out of seclusion, he, Lin Chaoying and Huang Yaoshi worked together to figure out the tiger demon's tendon movement, pulse movement, and breathing rhythm, and had gained a lot of insights.
Huang Yaoshi also proposed a concept, that is, to link "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound" with each internal energy method, so that people can use "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound" to temper the internal organs, bone marrow, Qi and blood while sleeping, while driving the circulation of true Qi. When the innate true Qi is circulating, it can also passively nourish and strengthen the Yuan Shen.
In this way, even in sleep, the essence, energy and spirit can be continuously cultivated and become stronger.
Even though it is not as efficient as active practice, if you make full use of your sleep and rest time, and improve your essence, energy, and spirit comprehensively, then over time, the gains can be quite amazing.
Huang Yaoshi's suggestion was exactly what Ouyang Feng wanted. After the three of them worked together to ponder and comprehend, they gradually gained some insights.
At this moment, Ouyang Feng is pondering and researching in this direction.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.
Suddenly, the door to the small hall opened silently, and a figure in a black skirt flashed in.
She closed the door with her backhand, and her snow-white, crystal-clear bare feet stepped silently on the floor as she walked slowly towards Ouyang Feng. As she walked, her waist-length straight black hair fluttered slightly, and her clothes slipped off one by one.
When the moonlight fell on her naked body, which seemed to be carved from white jade, her crystal clear skin immediately reflected the moonlight, giving people a wonderful feeling that it was so white that it seemed to be glowing...
……
Early the next morning.
Shan Wanjing looked refreshed, and went shopping with Shan Meixian, who also looked radiant and only a few years older than her, like her older sister.
Ouyang Feng stayed alone in his residence and continued to comprehend the martial arts.
Near noon, Dugu Feng came again.
This time she was quite polite and did not just barge in. Instead, she called Wanjing in front of the small building.
Ouyang Feng went to the terrace and said to Dugu Feng:
"Wan Jing and her mother went out shopping and will not be back until noon. They are going to Dong's Restaurant for a drink. If Miss Feng wants to look for Wan Jing, she might as well go to Dong's Restaurant."
"Has Madam Dongming also come to Luoyang?"
Dugu Feng thought about it, and a lively and sweet smile appeared on her icy face:
"Isn't Master Ouyang Feng going to the Dong Family Restaurant at noon?"
Ouyang Feng shook his head, "I still have some things to do, so I don't have time to go out."
"Dong's Restaurant is a bit far from here. But I know there's a delicious street restaurant nearby. Mr. Ouyang, why don't you go there with me to enjoy the food? I'll treat you as a way of thanking you for your guidance last night."
Ouyang Feng smiled, "Miss Feng is the eldest daughter of the Dugu family. Are you only treating us to a meal at a small restaurant on the street to express your gratitude?"
Dugu Feng said smilingly: "If you are willing, Feng'er can also take you to the Luoyang Palace to taste the royal meal. I am just afraid that you will find it troublesome and far away."
"It's indeed troublesome." Ouyang Feng said, "How about this, Miss Feng, go to that small restaurant to have lunch by yourself, and pack me a portion of their signature dish."
Dugu Feng was both amused and confused, "It's only a few steps away, you don't want to walk?"
"Too lazy to move."
"……OK then."
Dugu Feng made a speechless expression and said:
"Mr. Ouyang, wait a moment. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Ouyang Feng returned to his room and continued to study the technique. Less than half an hour later, he heard Dugu Feng's voice again:
"Master Ouyang, I'm back."
"come in."
Ouyang Feng responded casually, and soon, brisk footsteps were heard on the stairs. Dugu Feng walked quickly upstairs and entered the small hall carrying a large food box.
She put the food box on the table, opened the lid, took out a few dishes, and two large bowls of fried rice, and said with a smile:
"The best dishes of that restaurant are the secret marinated pork and minced gold rice. Mr. Ouyang, come and try them."
"Thank you."
Ouyang Feng went to the table and took a look at the so-called "broken gold rice". He saw that it was just a bowl of egg fried rice with some chopped vegetables, fruits and minced meat. However, the cooking time was very good. The egg liquid wrapped the rice evenly. The rice grains were clear yellow and translucent, just like broken gold. The chopped vegetables, fruits and minced meat were dotted among them. It was colorful and fragrant, and very mouth-watering.
The other dishes looked ordinary, but they smelled really good, especially the big plate of braised pork, which was both delicious and appetizing, and could whet your appetite just by looking at it.
"As expected, the real food should be found in the small restaurants on the street."
Ouyang Feng nodded in praise, sat down at the table, and saw Dugu Feng wanted to pour him a glass of wine, so he declined:
"Thank you Miss Feng, but I don't drink."
"Don't drink?" Dugu Feng blinked in surprise. "Master Ouyang is such a hero, but he doesn't drink. This is really... Could he be a Buddhist monk?"
"No. I am a layman, I just don't drink."
"Okay, then I'll drink it myself."
Dugu Feng poured herself a full cup, sat down in front of Ouyang Feng, drank the first full cup, squinted her beautiful eyes and smacked her lips, then filled her own cup again. Then she picked up the fried rice, picked up two chopsticks of braised meat for Ouyang Feng, and invited him to eat.
"Why didn't Miss Feng eat in that restaurant?"
"Master Ouyang is also my guest. How can the host eat first? I must bring it back to eat with you."
"Miss Feng is thoughtful."
"You're welcome. Feng'er benefited a lot from your advice yesterday."
The two of them ate and chatted, and soon finished up the simple but delicious food from the restaurant.
After eating and drinking, Dugu Feng brewed a pot of fragrant tea and chatted with him while drinking tea.
Being a martial arts fanatic, Dugu Feng's topics of conversation naturally all revolve around matters of martial arts.
"Master Ouyang, have you ever heard of Ren Shaoming, the 'Green Dragon' of the Iron Cavalry Society?"
"I've heard of it. It's said that he used a meteor hammer, a rare weapon rarely used by people in the martial arts world. He once saved his life from the sword of the Heavenly Sword Song Que."
"Yes, that 'Green Dragon' Ren Shaoming is very good at martial arts. But my grandmother said that Song Que must not have taken it seriously and just sent him away as a joke. Otherwise, how could Ren Shaoming escape from Song Que's Heavenly Sword with those two moves? But Ren Shaoming took it seriously and thought he was very great. As a result, he was assassinated in the street by the Yangzhou Twin Dragons Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling a while ago."
"Oh? Are Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling already capable of killing a master like Ren Shaoming?"
"After all, according to the legend, they are the only two lucky guys who have mastered the 'Eternal Life Secret', one of the four great books. However, Ren Shaoming is said to be the second best fighter in the grassland, the only son of 'Tie Le Flying Eagle' Qu Ao. He sneaked into the Central Plains under an assumed name and established the Iron Cavalry Society to establish a separatist regime. He is planning something big..."
"So, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did a good thing?"
"For the Central Plains, yes. But they also angered Qu Ao, who not only sent his disciple Chang Shumou and others to hunt them down, but also came to the Central Plains himself. But Feng'er felt that Qu Ao, in name only, came to avenge his son, but in reality, he might be plotting against Yang Gong's treasure house and even the Heshi Jade..."
"Qu Ao is coming to Luoyang too?"
"Yes. The successor of Cihang Jingzhai, Shi Feixuan, will appear in Luoyang. Qu Ao should be here soon, right?"
Seeing Ouyang Feng's interested look, Dugu Feng asked:
"Sir, do you want to challenge Qu Ao?"
Ouyang Feng nodded:
"I heard that Qu Ao has some unique skills. Although he lost to Bi Xuan, his kung fu should still be pretty good."
Dugu Feng smiled and said:
"Qu Ao's unique martial arts are 'Nine Transformations of Condensation' and 'Thirteen Styles of Eagle Transformation', which are indeed extraordinary skills. He once relied on them to become the best master in the grassland. It's a pity that he met Bi Xuan, a peerless figure, and thus fell from first to second."
After talking about martial arts affairs for a while, Dugu Feng felt itchy again and asked Ouyang Feng for advice.
Ouyang Feng lived in a house borrowed from others and ate takeout brought by others, so it was difficult for him to refuse. He nodded in agreement and started competing with her again.
……
In the next few days, Ouyang Feng stayed at home most of the time to comprehend the martial arts, and occasionally he would accompany Shan Wanjing and Shan Meixian to stroll around Luoyang City.
Dugu Feng came here every day, either to discuss swordsmanship with Shan Wanjing, or to ask Ouyang Feng for advice. Occasionally, he would also seek advice from Shan Meixian. He really enjoyed the atmosphere of discussing martial arts and philosophy with good teachers and helpful friends.
To show her gratitude, she would bring some delicious food and wine every day, and also bring news every day.
That day, Dugu Feng brought two jars of imperial wine and several boxes of royal cakes and preserves, and asked Ouyang Feng, Shan Meixian, and Shan Wanjing to share them. At the same time, she also brought a new piece of news:
"I know that Wang Bo, the world's most famous prostitute, will come to Luoyang and hold a grand banquet in the Manqing Courtyard to entertain friends from all walks of life. I heard that he has also invited Shang Xiufang, the world's most famous prostitute, to perform at the banquet."
Zhishilang Wang Bo is the leader of the "Changbai School". His martial arts skill is the "Dingshi Whip", and he is known as the Whip King of the time. It is said that he is a master at the same level as Li Mi and Du Fuwei.
He was also the author of the famous "Song of Not Dying in Liaodong" and the first rebel leader to raise the flag and launch an anti-Sui movement.
However, Wang Bo's rebel army had been defeated by Zhang Xutuo several years ago, so he had long since stopped participating in the struggle for hegemony. And because Yang Guang was dead, no one targeted him when he came to Luoyang to hold a banquet. "I've heard about this too!" Shan Wanjing said with great interest, "Shang Xiufang is not only a stunning beauty, but also has unparalleled dancing and singing skills, and her zither skills are also unparalleled in the world. In terms of talent, she is comparable to Shi Qingxuan..."
Then she looked at Shan Meixian and said, "Mother, let's go to that banquet too. I also want to see Shang Xiufang's extraordinary dancing skills."
Because the owner of Manqingyuan is Shangguan Long, an elder of the Yingui Sect, and Queen Yin has also been in Luoyang recently, Shan Wanjing was worried that her mother would not want to go, so she blinked her bright eyes and looked at her pleadingly.
Shan Meixian chuckled, "Wang Bo didn't send us an invitation, how can you go without an invitation?"
Shan Wanjing took Shan Meixian's arm and said coquettishly:
"With your connections, mother, as long as you tell me your name, Wang Bo will invite you in respectfully, right?"
Shan Meixian gently patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile:
"In fact, with your current reputation, Wanjing, if you tell me your name, you will be respectfully invited in."
Shan Wanjing showed surprise:
"Mom, do you agree to go?"
Shan Meixian nodded with a smile:
"Since Wanjing is looking forward to it so much, I will go with you."
Shan Wanjing giggled and looked at Ouyang Feng again:
"Sir, would you like to come with us?"
Ouyang Feng nodded in agreement and asked Dugu Feng:
"There will be many experts present at this banquet, right?"
"Of course there will be many experts."
Dugu Feng counted on his fingers:
"Flying Eagle Qu Ao is coming, and Song Clan's Song Lu, Song Shidao and others have already arrived in Luoyang. It is said that the amorous young man Hou Xibai has also appeared in Luoyang. The head of the Nanhai Sect Mei Xun, the elder Mei Tian and others are also on their way to Luoyang. Even Li Mi's only son Li Tianfan has come to Luoyang with the Wagang Army's beautiful military strategist Shen Luoyan, and the 'Changbai Twins' Fu Zhen and Fu Yan."
Shan Wanjing was surprised: "How dare Li Mi's son and military advisor come to Luoyang?"
Dugu Feng chuckled, "Li Mi accepted the amnesty! He is now the Duke of Wei, the Grand Marshal, the Minister of the Chancellery, and the Marching Marshal of the Southeast Road of the Sui Dynasty."
There were some things she couldn't explain in detail.
For example, the Dugu clan, which supported Emperor Huangtai Yang Tong, also hoped that Li Mi would fight with Wang Shichong, and it would be best if both sides would suffer losses and perish together.
Therefore, the Dugu clan turned a blind eye to Li Mi's forces entering Luoyang, and even secretly opened the door for them.
Even if Li Mi himself came to Luoyang, if the Dugu clan saw him, they would just pretend not to see him.
Ouyang Feng was not very interested in these intrigues, he was only interested in the masters:
"Has the Nanhai Sect's top expert, 'Nanhai Immortal' Chao Gongcuo, arrived in Luoyang?"
Chao Gongcuo was a master of the same generation as Ning Daoqi, and had a unique skill called "Seven Killing Fists". It was said that he once duelled with Ning Daoqi and forced Ning Daoqi to use his "Sanda-style Eight Pounces" before being defeated.
Therefore, Ouyang Feng was somewhat interested in the old man's "Seven Killing Fists" and planned to learn it to enrich his arsenal.
"I don't know about that."
Dugu Feng shook his head and said:
"No one has seen Chao Gongcuo show up yet. However, the Nanhai Sect has almost come out in full force this time. Maybe Chao Gongcuo is here too? He just doesn't want to show up and is not traveling with the Nanhai Sect? With Chao Gongcuo's martial arts skills, if he travels alone, it would be difficult to find his whereabouts."
Ouyang Feng smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, he will just fight whoever he runs into at that time. No matter who the master is, as long as he has special skills, he will try them out.
As for whether to "stop when the time is right" or "determine the winner and decide life or death", it all depends on his mood at that time.
evening.
The four of them went out and had dinner at a street restaurant that Dugu Feng highly recommended.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw the boss approaching me with an apologetic look on his face, bowing deeply to apologize:
"Miss Dugu, and these three distinguished guests, I am really sorry that our shop has been reserved."
Dugu Feng was surprised and said:
"Your small shop is actually reserved by someone?"
The boss smiled bitterly and said:
"I didn't expect such a strange thing to happen..."
Dugu Feng didn't want to embarrass the boss, and when he was about to leave, Ouyang Feng seemed to have heard something, and the corners of his lips raised, revealing a subtle smile, and said to the boss:
"The guest who booked the entire place is an acquaintance of ours. We'll go in and say hello. Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you."
As he spoke, he opened the door curtain and strode in.
The boss saw that he had an extraordinary aura and heard that he was an acquaintance, so he did not dare to stop him. He could only watch Ouyang Feng enter with Shan Wanjing, Shan Meixian and Dugu Feng.
After entering the lobby, Ouyang Feng walked straight to the corner of the lobby, where there were two tables. Two guests were sitting at one of the tables, and at the other table, there was a guest wearing a bamboo hat, a curtain covering his face, and a green robe, sitting with his back to the two guests.
The two parties were originally talking with their backs to each other, but when they heard the footsteps of Ouyang Feng and his party, they stopped immediately and looked sideways at Ouyang Feng and his party.
Shan Wanjing, Shan Meixian and Dugu Feng, who were following behind him, were immediately surprised when they saw the two guests without hats, because these two people were actually their acquaintances.
To be precise, one of them was an acquaintance of all three of them, while the other one had met Shan Wanjing a few times.
The two guests who were not wearing hats were also slightly surprised when they saw Ouyang Feng and his group.
One of the tall and handsome young men stood up and said:
"Aunt Shan, Sister Wanjing, Sister Feng'er, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Shan Meixian said with a smile:
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Shimin."
Shan Wanjing also greeted him with a smile:
"Brother Shimin, it's been a while since we last met. How are you?"
Dugu Feng also looked at him with a half-smile:
"Brother Shimin, you are so brave that you wander around Luoyang without any guards. Aren't you afraid that I will catch you?"
Well, that young man was none other than Li Shimin.
Shan Meixian was already familiar with Li Yuan when she was a Yin Gui Saint, so she naturally recognized Li Shimin. Shan Wanjing had also met Li Shimin several times when she was a child and was quite familiar with him.
As for Dugu Feng, she was even more of a cousin of Li Shimin, because Li Shimin's grandmother's surname was "Dugu" and she was the daughter of Dugu Feng's great-grandfather Dugu Xin. Dugu Feng had to call Li Shimin's grandmother "great aunt".
Now the Dugu clan supports Emperor Huangtai in Luoyang, while the Li clan supports Yang You in Chang'an as a puppet emperor. On the surface, both sides "serve their own masters", but in reality...
Anyway, even if the Dugu clan failed in the struggle and was driven out of Luoyang by Wang Shichong, they could go to Chang'an and join the Li clan.
So Dugu Feng's so-called arrest of Li Shimin was obviously just a joke.
Li Shimin bowed to Shan Meixian, and greeted Dugufeng and Shan Wanjing. He looked at Ouyang Feng with strange eyes, and said with a cupped hand:
"This young man has a good appearance, but is this Mr. Ouyang Feng in person?"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "It is Ouyang Feng. Master Li, do you recognize me?"
Li Shimin smiled cheerfully, "Although we have never met, I have long heard of Master Ouyang's name. As for why I could recognize you... Wanjing has been proud and arrogant since she was a child. I guess the only man who could travel with her so closely is Master Ouyang, who once fought against the Demon Sect with Sister Wanjing, killed the Demon Yin Bian Bufu, and fought against the four major bandits together!"
When Li Shimin was speaking, Ouyang Feng clearly felt that the man in green clothes and a bamboo hat who was sitting with his back to Li Shimin also turned his head slightly and cast a curious look at him through the curtain of the bamboo hat.
Ouyang Feng did not react to this, but only smiled at Li Shimin, "Mr. Li has a good eye."
At this time, the guest who was sitting at the same table with Li Shimin also came over to greet Ouyang Feng and Shan Wanjing with a stiff upper lip:
"Master Ouyang, Miss Shan, we meet again."
This guy is Xu Ziling.
When Xu Ziling saw Ouyang Feng and his group coming in, he felt a little guilty.
Back then, outside the city of Dongping County, after Ouyang Feng killed hundreds of warriors in a short period of time, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, relying on the extraordinary perception of the "Eternal Life Secret", captured Ouyang Feng's remaining artistic conception from the wounds of the dead and the knife marks on the ground. They also used their extraordinary comprehension to comprehend the mystery from it, and their martial arts skills improved greatly.
In Xu Ziling's opinion, although the killing field was a "public place" and Ouyang Feng had never taken the initiative to wipe out the knife marks and breath, he and Kou Zhong were ultimately suspected of "learning martial arts secretly", so when he saw Ouyang Feng, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Little did they know that Ouyang Feng had already discovered their behavior, but he didn't care about it at all.
With his broad mind and courage, he was not afraid of being observed and speculated about since he did not take the initiative to erase the knife marks.
Whether you learn something real from it, or figure out his sword skills through the knife marks, or even find the flaws in his sword skills - if there are any - it all depends on your own chance and understanding.
So, seeing Xu Ziling's guilty look as he came to see him, Ouyang Feng felt a little amused.
He did not embarrass this now famous martial arts rookie, and simply said:
"I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Ziling is in good spirits and full of energy. It's obvious that he has made great progress. I heard that Ziling and Kou Zhong once assassinated Qingjiao Ren Shaoming, the son of Tiele Flying Eagle, in Jiujiang County? This heroic feat is worthy of your name 'Yangzhou Twin Dragons'."
Seeing his calm tone and peaceful expression, Xu Ziling couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, bowed to Ouyang Feng, and said gratefully:
"Xiao Zhong and I were able to successfully assassinate Ren Shaoming thanks to Master Ouyang. If we hadn't witnessed Master Ouyang's peerless swordsmanship outside Dongping County, Xiao Zhong and I wouldn't have made such rapid progress in martial arts."
However, he implicitly confessed the matter of "stealing skills".
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"You are just good at understanding. You figured it out with your own ability. Why do you need to thank me?"
Li Shimin smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that Brother Ouyang and Ziling are also familiar with each other. By the way, I also went to Dongping County before, but unfortunately I missed Brother Ouyang... Let's not stand and talk, Brother Ouyang, Aunt Shan, please take a seat. Wanjing, Feng'er, please take a seat as well."
He personally pulled out chairs for Ouyang Feng and his party, and invited the four of them to sit down. Just as he was about to ask the waiter to add more wine, food, and bowls, Ouyang Feng said:
"Mr. Li, you don't have to be polite. To be honest, we are the ones who barged in and interrupted your conversation. I wonder who this friend is? What were you talking about with Mr. Li and Ziling just now?"
The man in the green shirt and bamboo hat still had his back to the table. Hearing this, he spoke in a soft voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female:
"I am Qin Chuan, and I am asking Master Li about the way to be a king."
Qin Chuan?
The way to be a king?
That’s Shi Feixuan!
As for the soft voice that was difficult to tell whether it was androgynous, with Shi Feixuan's skills, it was extremely easy to disguise the voice with her true Qi and make it impossible for anyone to hear any flaws.
Ouyang Feng felt emotional. After waiting for such a long time, Shi Feixuan finally showed up. In that case, Ning Daoqi should have also sent the "He Shi Bi" to Jingnian Zen Temple?
Thinking this in his heart, he remained calm and said:
"Why do you ask about the way to be a king?"
Shi Feixuan, who was wearing a bamboo hat and curtains covering her face, not even revealing her chin and eyes, said calmly:
"Mr. Li is from one of the four great families. I just want to ask you for advice and see what you think about being a king."
After a pause, he said again:
"Mr. Li has just roughly expressed his view on the way to be a king. I wonder what Mr. Ouyang thinks of the way to be a king?"
"The way to be a king? When it comes to governing a country, it is enough for a king to combine the current reality and learn lessons from history. So, Brother Qin... instead of asking about the way to be a king, you might as well ask, what kind of person is worthy of being a king."
This is not the industrial age. Given the current level of productivity, why do we need any particularly remarkable insights?
History books are enough.
It would be more than enough to just take out the actions of Yang Jian and Yang Guang, absorb their experience, summarize the lessons, and then make slight adjustments based on the actual situation.
In Ouyang Feng's opinion, Shi Feixuan's question was completely unnecessary.
Yang Guang was so smart, received military and political education since childhood, was good at poetry and prose, and had superb acting skills. How could he not know how to be a king? Then why did he become the God of Guang in less than fourteen years after inheriting a rich legacy that all previous emperors would envy?
As for the so-called "way of being a king", anyone who has read a few history books and has a little bit of common sense can explain it clearly.
Anyway, if Shi Feixuan asked this question to the 20-year-old Guangshen, he would definitely exclaim:
This is the wise ruler I am looking for!
Shi Feixuan didn't know what Ouyang Feng was thinking. After hearing his answer, she pondered for a while and asked again:
"So, Mr. Ouyang, who do you think can be a wise ruler?"
Ouyang Feng drank a sip of tea and said calmly in a matter-of-fact and self-righteous tone:
"I do not know."
"..."
Everyone was speechless.
Ouyang Feng was thinking leisurely, so what if he is a wise ruler?
The inheritance model of "family empire" which only considers reincarnation skills, even if it implements "selection of the virtuous" or even the "gu-raising" style of selection, the scope of selection is too limited.
Intelligence, vision, breadth of mind and courage cannot be inherited stably, and the subsequent heirs are all raised in the deep palace, raised by women, high above and out of touch with reality. How can they know the sufferings of the people?
Therefore, no matter how wise and powerful a king is, there will inevitably be mediocre, incompetent, or even stupid and violent bastards among his descendants - including the descendants of his Ouyang family!
But then again, each generation has its own historical mission, so there is no need to be too demanding.
Given the limitations of the times and productivity, it would be considered pretty good if there could be two or three generations of wise rulers who could allow the country and the people to enjoy decades or even hundreds of years of peace and prosperity.
Anyway, before Ouyang Feng traveled through time, with the level of civilization and productivity in his previous life, mankind had not yet come up with an absolutely perfect system that could truly end everything.
If this is the case, why should we ask for too much in this era?
At that moment he smiled to himself, looked at Li Shimin and said:
"Although I don't know who can be a wise ruler, I think Mr. Li is not bad. He has a handsome appearance, is generous and cheerful, and has good relationships with people. I think he is quite likable."
"..."
Everyone was speechless again.
