In the eyes of these academy students, the few words Quyang Hou just said were humble and humorous, without the domineering air of a top noble...
In the minds of young students, such people can win favor.
Huang Xie also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the unexpected incident in front of me has been solved...
Huang Xie glared at the Confucian giant with some dissatisfaction, thinking that you, a pedantic old man, are really a tiger.
Do you even dare to offend the arrogant Xiong Wuliang?
Fortunately, I, the mountain leader, reacted quickly enough and ended this topic with my cleverness... Otherwise, what might happen next might not happen.
The surrounding college students looked at Xiong Wuliang with reverence and whispered excitedly——
"Marquis Quyang is indeed very generous."
"How can you be someone who can defeat so many strong enemies, how can he be a 'ignorant' person? I think those are pure slanders!"
"Yes! It must be Marquis Quyang who is being humble..."
…
Xiong Wuliang suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and nodded slightly at the Confucian giant as a greeting.
Unless absolutely necessary, Xiong Wuliang really didn't bother to deal with these smelly and stubborn rotten scholars.
They really don't pose a threat... but they are disgusting!
If you really offend the Confucians... you don't necessarily have to be scolded by them.
Don't you see that Qin Shihuang's brilliant achievements, talents and strategies... just because he burned books and harassed Confucians, he offended these alchemists and corrupt Confucians, and ended up being scolded for two thousand years?
Qin Shihuang is one of the rare emperors in history who did not kill any of his heroes, yet he was labeled a "tyrant"... He was labeled a tyrant and served as a negative example to future emperors for more than two thousand years...
Just when everyone thought that this matter was over, they heard the Confucian giant speak unhurriedly again——
"The prince is not obsessed with past achievements, but is quite self-aware, which is good."
"A child can still be taught."
"Now everyone in the world regards Chu as the country of the Southern Barbarians, and the people of Chu as the Southern Barbarians... In my humble opinion, since I have this ugly crown of 'crown with monkeys' on my back, the kings and princes should work hard to become stronger. Practice academics.”
"In this way, the name of 'Southern Barbarian' can be washed away."
The entire dining hall was silent.
Most of the students present were from Chu, and their expressions were a little worried.
And... everyone could see clearly - Xiong Wuliang's face was extremely ugly, and a trace of murderous intent that he tried his best to suppress flashed across his gloomy face.
Are the Chu people Southern Barbarians?
If these words were spoken out of the Chu people's mouth as a self-mockery, such as the occasional unreasonable "I am a barbarian", it would seem indifferent.
Once it comes from an outsider’s mouth…
That would be too harsh.
Old man, you want to die, right?
Do you know what happened to the last person who dared to call Chu people "Southern Barbarians" in front of me?
Here, Xiong Wuliang was still patient, but Xiao Hei had already jumped up, pointed at the Confucian giant, and yelled angrily: "How outrageous!"
Xiong Wuliang pressed Xiao Hei and gave out a murderous sneer: "May I ask the Confucian giant how to 'wash away the name of the Southern Barbarians'?"
"I conquered the south and the north, won six battles and won six victories, killed countless enemies for our great Chu, and created a glorious hegemony for our king... Doesn't this count as 'washing away the name of the Southern Barbarians'?"
The Confucian giant was startled for a moment, then grinned.
Facing the furious Xiao Hei, the calm-faced Huang Xie...Xiong Wuliang, who clearly had murderous intent on his face, and the thousands of silent students, this old immortal showed no fear at all!
"Marquis Quyang, do you want to send your elite soldiers to the academy?" The Confucian giant sneered and said, "Can you still kill me?"
The whole scene was like falling into an ice cellar.
No one could have imagined that a good lunch would end up in this situation.
Huang Xie felt that Xiong Wuliang was already in trouble, so he hurriedly stood up and glared at the Confucian giant: "This is too much... What the Confucian giant just said is indeed inappropriate. I, the mountain leader, am also a Chu native, and I also feel embarrassed. Nothing left.”
"Please also ask the Confucian giant to take back what he said just now, and accept it as the sea of Quyanghou, and he will definitely not care about it."
Several other masters and tycoons from various schools also offered good words and advice... hoping that the Confucian tycoon would be subdued and confused by everything in front of him.
The Confucian giant smiled coldly and remained unmoved.
Everyone knows that Confucianism and Legalism have deep-rooted grievances.
Xiong Wuliang carried out massive reforms in the fiefdom, appointed Shen Dao as an official, and appointed countless Legalist disciples... which had long made the Confucian giant very dissatisfied!
Confucian disciples are indeed pedantic, but they have strong bones!
Back then, Mencius was able to openly utter such bold words as "The king is of low importance" in front of the King of Qi, which shocked the world and made Confucianism famous... Can't I, a descendant of Confucianism, be as strong and strong as Mencius?
Marquis Quyang's illustrious reputation shocked the world, but I, the Confucian, are not afraid of him either!
This is an academy, can he really commit murder?
After today, the reputation of the Confucian disciples will once again be spread all over the world... Let the world see that I, the contemporary Confucian giant, have not lost the reputation of the ancestors!
Thinking of this, I saw the Confucian giant straightening his back, looking like an upright and poor scholar - with a look of compassion on his face, what a fairy-like spirit!
The Confucian giant flicked his sleeves and said, "Marquis Quyang, this is Quyang Academy, not your military camp."
"The competition here is based on academics, not military strength."
"Since you are not very knowledgeable, I ordered you to strengthen your studies...is it still wrong?"
"If you become angry out of shame, it proves the theory of 'barbarians'!"
…
Xiong Wuliang's eyes were cold. He stood up slowly under everyone's gaze. Just as he was about to speak, Le Yi pulled his sleeve... He looked down and saw Le Yi shaking his head slightly...
After all, he is a Confucian giant and one of the top intellectuals of our time.
If he were really killed, the impact would be too bad.
Le Yi looked into Xiong Wuliang's eyes, moved his lips, and whispered to dissuade him: "Junhou, calm down——"
"Don't be murderous!"
"If you really kill him, you will only let this guy enjoy the reputation of being 'not afraid of the powerful' and 'killing oneself for justice'... which is exactly what he wants."
"The reputation of the monarch has become stinky..."
Xiong Wuliang smiled.
Le Yi's sincere dissuasion showed that he was thinking about Xiong Wuliang... This made the latter very happy.
But——Xiong Wuliang gently pulled back his sleeves and laughed in a low voice: "I won't kill him... Since he wants a good reputation, I will simply argue with him..."
Le Yi was stunned——
Ah, isn’t it?
You, you, you, an academic waste, can't even understand the most basic dictionaries... Do you really want to quarrel with this old scholar who has read poetry and books?
Use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths?
Isn't this pure nonsense?
Le Yi took a deep breath and was very worried - Xiong Wuliang was indeed a master of military skills, but to say how superb his knowledge was, even if he killed Le Yi, he wouldn't believe it!
This...you dare to argue with the Confucian giant?
Now that so many people are watching helplessly, if what he says later does not make sense, won't it affect Marquis Qu Yang's reputation in the hearts of many academy students?
This is not the most terrifying thing - the Confucian disciples are really bad. They will definitely record all the subsequent conversations truthfully and pass them down for thousands of years, leaving such a record as "Quyang Hou asked the question before" …
Disgraceful and relegated to future generations!
But the Confucian giant is now adding fuel to the fire——
…
