Zihu was so embarrassed by his words that he had no choice but to retreat and find a place where no one was around.
Zhang Xuan withdrew from the Small Universe, thinking about Hong Rui's suggestion, and thought it was feasible.
After learning eighteen kinds of martial arts from Yingxiao, he integrated his high-end martial arts skills into ordinary martial arts moves, making those originally ordinary moves full of energy when retracting and releasing, and the attack power was even more powerful. Strong. Eighteen kinds of weapons used in the eighteen kinds of martial arts - knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, boring machines, sticks, spears, sticks, whips, maces, hammers, grabs, abductors, and shooting stars. , he has stored several sets for ready access at any time, and he also has a spare weapon when one of them is worn out.
Of course, this is not his first attempt to integrate skills. Previously, he also integrated skills such as the Cruciatus Curse into Hunyuan Yi Qigong. From this point of view, he already has certain experience in the integration of skills.
However, the fusion of seven different qi energies of demons, demons, ghosts, monsters, ghosts, evil spirits, and poisons is a more advanced fusion. He needs to think about it carefully, and there is no feasible idea at the moment.
Before I could figure it out, the envoy from Badan arrived.
The next day, the pro-Emperor Sima Letian held a court meeting and met with envoys from other countries. The civil and military ministers sat in separate classes and the atmosphere was strict.
Zhang Xuan, as General Xiaoyao, is a first-grade military general. Originally, the same first-grade general was Hussar General Erai, but now there is only Zhang Xuan, a first-grade military general, so Zhang Xuan is at the head of the general class. As for Su Can, the cavalry general who actually commands the three armies, he can only take second place in the class because his rank is lower than Zhang Xuan. Ying Xiao, who taught Zhang Xuan martial arts, was a cavalry general like Su Can. Due to his junior qualifications, he was ranked below Su Can.
Although Zhang Xuan is an expert outside the world, it is his first official appearance after all, and he is only fifteen or sixteen years old. He suddenly appears at the top of the class, which seems quite unexpected, and he himself feels a little uncomfortable for a moment. Fortunately, before going to court, he carefully studied etiquette with the officials of Honglu Temple in private, and his behavior was not inappropriate.
A quarter of an hour later, officials from Honglu Temple came in with a staggering middle-aged fat man.
This fat envoy from a foreign country looked around as soon as he came in. His eyes were darting around, and his behavior was not dignified at all. When Zhang Xuan saw this, he wanted to step forward and give him a few slaps.
When His Majesty arrived, the officials of Honglu Temple signaled the envoys from other countries to salute, but the envoys said with high spirits: "I say, everyone, as the saying goes, the winds are different in three miles, and the customs are different in five miles. Each place has its own customs, and each place has its own etiquette. As a result, Envoy of the Badain Kingdom, I follow the etiquette of the Bataan Kingdom wherever I go. When I see the king, I just clasp my fists and hold my hands in front of me. If I am asked to kneel down and kowtow, that is absolutely impossible!"
After hearing this, everyone present was so angry that their teeth itched. People say that when one comes to a country, one does as the Romans do, but this envoy from a foreign country is so arrogant that he insists on adhering to the customs of his own country. It is nonsense! Besides, even in the Badan Kingdom, when he met his monarch, could he just give it up?
Zhang Xuan was furious and wanted to give this damn guy a slap in the face. Since this was a court and even the emperor didn't show dissatisfaction, he couldn't cause trouble for no reason, so he had to hold back.
But I heard Prince Sima Letian ask: "The envoy from Badan Kingdom came here. Is there something important?"
"It's important or not, we'll talk about it later." As the envoy from Fanbang spoke, he took out a brown bark-like thing from the bag he was carrying, held it in his hand, and turned it around in a circle to show it to everyone. , "This is a calligraphy written by me, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy of the Badan Dynasty. If anyone in your dynasty can recognize it, I will get down to business soon!"
After saying that, he looked around triumphantly.
The behavior of the envoy from Fanbang was obviously to test the writing skills of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy of the Chaina Dynasty. Upon hearing this, Sima Letian signaled the officials of Honglu Temple to hand over the calligraphy to Zhu Zhishan, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy who was present, for identification.
Zhu Zhishan took the bark-like thing and began to examine the words on it, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.
Everyone looked at him intently, and their hearts tightened when they saw his sad face. The Fanbang envoy took out this calligraphy for people to recognize, which was undoubtedly a contempt and provocation to the emperors and ministers of the Zhai Na Dynasty. If even Zhu Zhishan, the most knowledgeable person in the dynasty, could not recognize it, then the face of the Zhai Na Dynasty would be at the hands of the Fanbang envoy. It’s in!
Prince Sima Letian was particularly nervous. As the supreme ruler of the Zhai Na Empire, he valued the face of the dynasty most. Once he was successfully provoked by envoys from other countries, it would be a great shame for him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Xuan raised his voice and said to Zhu Zhishan: "Master Zhu, our Chaina Dynasty is a huge country. The calligraphy in your hand belongs to a foreign country. Why should you take a serious look at such inferior writing? , I don’t need to bother you at all, I, a martial artist, can just take a look at it!"
While talking, he left work and came to Zhu Zhishan, took the letter from Zhu Zhishan's hand, and looked at it casually.
Although he did this out of impulse, he also had some confidence. The two ancient writing books that Zhang Kuanren lent him gave him a thorough understanding of ancient writing. Although the current characters of the three countries of Chaina, Badan and Fulao are different, they all come from the same source and evolved from those ancient characters. If the characters written on this frame are ancient characters, he should be able to identify them. Moreover, while studying calligraphy and painting with Damao, he and Damao studied the mechanism of changing the glyphs of some characters to turn them into paintings, so he could also recognize some deformed characters.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw the words on the banner, he recognized them very well. After recognizing those words, he suddenly became furious.
It turned out that what was written on the scroll turned out to be two sentences that looked like child's play: The moon crescents over Kyushu, some families are happy and some are sad.
"You damn guy, are you trying to fool people with your dramatic words?" Zhang Xuan scolded the foreign envoy with a cold face, "I frowned at the great scholar when I faced this painting, not because I didn't recognize it, but because I didn't recognize it. Because it feels ridiculous! Are those five to six people in your Badan country doing things so ridiculously?"
The envoy from Fanbang looked very unhappy when he saw that Zhang Xuan easily recognized the words that were originally extremely difficult to read, and was reprimanded by Zhang Xuan.
Everyone, including Sima Letian, was afraid that Zhang Xuan would tell nonsense. After seeing the reaction of the envoy from the foreign countries, they decided that what Zhang Xuan said was serious and couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan easily recognized these strange characters that even the chief bachelor could not identify. Does this mean that his knowledge is higher than that of Zhu Zhishan?
Everyone had always thought that Zhang Xuan was just an outsider in martial arts, but now that they had seen another side of him, they realized that he was an all-rounder in both arts and martial arts.
Sima Letian was particularly proud. He asked Zhang Xuan to attend the court meeting, originally just to make the courtiers familiar with Zhang Xuan, and did not expect Zhang Xuan to play any substantive role. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan unexpectedly became a blockbuster, showing that even the chief scholar Zhu Zhishan was ashamed. He couldn't help but feel guilty about his inferior literary talent, and felt that his understanding of Zhang Xuan was too one-sided.
With such a son-in-law who was versatile in both civil and military affairs, he felt happy and avoided the embarrassment of being humiliated by foreign envoys. Of course he was overjoyed.
In his pride, he said to the envoy from Fanbang in a scornful tone: "Little Envoy Badan, just as I said to General Xiaoyao, we, Chaina, are a huge country with abundant resources, natural treasures, and outstanding people. We can all catch and see through little tricks. It’s okay not to play such a clumsy ghost game, so as not to make yourself lose face!"
The envoy from the foreign country failed to humiliate others, but he suffered a lot of humiliation. He blushed for a moment, gouged out Zhang Xuan a few times, and began to talk about the business of the trip.
