Fang Yi chose to leave Jiangnan Academy.
This is not because Fang Yi no longer practices Confucianism, but because Fang Yi has become a fifth-rank Hanlin scholar and does not need to stay in the academy all the time.
From then on, the world was so vast that he traveled around, increasing his knowledge and understanding the principles of heaven and earth during his travels.
It is basically impossible for a fifth-grade Hanlin to become a bachelor in the academy.
And, there is another reason.
Fang Yi destroyed the demon realm and helped Zhao Wuji become an eighth-level scholar, which completely changed the situation between Da Li and the demon clan.
Both of Zhao Zhe's two strategies were completely successful.
News came a few days ago that the great demon in Yunmengze had suffered many casualties and was determined to negotiate with the human race. From now on, it was determined that it would only stay in Yunmengze and no longer invade Dali.
The demon realm of the demon clan was destroyed, and the demon clan in the East China Sea was sealed.
Da Li won a great victory.
Although Dali Confucianism and Taoism suffered heavy losses, nearly sixty great Confucians died in the battle.
There used to be more than a hundred great scholars, but now there are only a few dozen left.
The academicians and Hanlin suffered numerous casualties, and Da Li Confucianism and Taoism lost at least half of their combat power.
But the result is good. Dali's top combat power has been increased by an eighth-grade scholar, and the dead and injured scholars, bachelors, and Hanlin are all very old and may run out of gas at any time.
They dedicated their last glimmer of light to Dali, and then helped Dali preserve the spark of hope.
The future of Confucianism and Taoism is still promising.
In this way, the battlefield between Confucianism and Taoism is finally over.
In the most dangerous Northland, Confucianism and Taoism can also contribute. In this way, Dali's original crisis of being surrounded by enemies on three sides will be completely lifted.
…
There is no use staying in Jiangnan Academy. Next, we have to go to the Northland.
Fang Yi made up his mind.
His old father-in-law was seriously injured in the battle in the Northland. This news was something he learned from Ji Yuehen after he came out of the Demon Realm.
After that, Fang Yi sent a letter to Luo Qingyi, asking about Luo Qingyi's current situation.
But Luo Qingyi was probably extremely busy and had no time to reply to Fang Yi.
So Fang Yi still doesn't know what is going on with his old father-in-law.
After bidding farewell to Great Scholar Zhao Zhe and Great Scholar Wang Jingzhe, Fang Yi took the lead in returning to Luyuan.
In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve, and the children of Dali Academy will also take a break and go home to celebrate the New Year.
…
When Fang Yi returned to Luyuan, the situation in Dali was also undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Luo Shenhou was seriously injured and had returned to the south of the Yangtze River, but the brutal battle also severely damaged the barbarian army.
But the winter in the north was getting colder and colder, and there was almost nothing to eat. The barbarian army quickly gathered here and was about to continue its march south.
On Dali's side, Luo Shenhou was seriously injured, and Dali's army lost its backbone.
In addition, with New Year's Eve coming up, many soldiers in the Dali Army felt homesick and could no longer continue fighting.
Many of the troops previously sent to aid the North were improvised and did not have much combat power at all.
The guards of the Dali Dynasty have now retreated to Taiyuan City.
If Taiyuan City is breached, the situation in Dali will be really precarious.
Great departure from the palace.
Song Zhiwen was still in the East Palace.
Yun Wuji's eyes were bloodshot, and he relaxed slightly when he saw Song Zhiwen.
"Your Highness, you still need to take good care of your health." Song Zhiwen spoke at this time and reminded him.
"Master Song, it's not that I won't rest. If the army is defeated this time, once Taiyuan City is conquered, Dali will no longer have a barrier." Yun Wuji sighed at this time: "Before, I always thought about why my father was so young and powerful. However, he is suffering from an illness and needs to practice with the national master every day, and he also needs to take elixirs and medicinal baths to maintain himself."
"Now I understand that when you are in a high position, you have the trouble of not being able to live in a high place." Yun Wuji humbly asked for advice at this time: "Master Song, you are far-sighted and experienced. Please teach me, what should I do? ? "
"Your Highness, don't worry. The war in the southeastern sea has initially come to an end. The situation in the north will not change overnight, but it is not a big problem." Song Zhiwen was analyzing the situation in the world at this time.
It turns out that the Gu tribe colluded with the barbarian tribe and the demon tribe to kill Dali.
But now, the Triangle Alliance has broken down, and the demon clan has lost its combat effectiveness, and there is nothing to fear.
Confucian and Taoist monks can assist the northern army to regroup and launch the Northern Expedition.
Moreover, there is another most powerful force in Dali, and the Taoist sect has not yet been dispatched.
If the Taoist sect's strong hands are invited to help and resist the attack of the barbarian army in the north, there will probably not be a big problem.
As long as you survive this most difficult level, when spring comes and the flowers bloom next year, the barbarian army will not be so bloody. By then, half of the difficulty will be solved.
"But having said that, the Taoist sect is controlled by my father, and I cannot mobilize the power of the Taoist sect." After hearing Song Zhiwen's opinion, Yun Wuji's eyes lit up immediately, but then he shook his head and said, "I have seen my father several times. The emperor told my father about the current situation in Dali, but my father seemed not to care at all, and every time he replied, he said, let me figure it out myself."
"It shows that His Majesty has full trust in His Highness, which is a good thing." Song Zhiwen said.
Yun Wuji took the initiative and asked, "Master Song, I heard that Confucian Zhao Wuji has become an eighth-grade Confucian?"
Song Zhiwen nodded.
Yun Wuji spoke again: "So, is it really as rumored that the reason why Zhao Wuji became a great scholar is all because of Fang Yi?"
Song Zhiwen thought for a while and gave a positive answer: "Zhao Wuji himself is hopeless at the eighth level, but Fang Yi does have amazing poetic talent, and Zhao Wuji is a great Confucian who specializes in war poetry. All these coincidences combined , indeed made Zhao Wuji become an eighth-grade scholar, from this point of view, Fang Yi indeed played a very important role."
"It's a pity that I have never seen them." Yun Wuji smiled at this time: "I have always valued the world's talents. If I can get Fang Yi's help, I will be even more powerful."
Song Zhiwen shook his head: "Fang Yi is unruly and unruly. I'm afraid it's a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it's fine. If you use it badly, you may hurt yourself."
Yun Wuji nodded slightly.
Song Zhiwen spoke again: "Your Highness, the Jianghu sect will be a disaster sooner or later. If you take the time, you still have to concentrate on dealing with them."
"The Jianghu sect does not obey the discipline of the Dali Dynasty and has always gone its own way. This time when Dali is in trouble, none of them are willing to come forward. Moreover, there are countless martial arts experts in the Jianghu sect. Xia uses force to break the ban and annihilate them, and It is equally important to exterminate the barbarians.”
The reason why Dali's army is in such decline now is, ultimately, because there are too many sects in the martial arts world.
Reckless heroes and martial arts experts are all concentrated in Jianghu sects. Some hidden sects have top martial arts combat capabilities.
But they never obey the orders of the Dali court, so they are considered a cancer.
However, this situation lasted for a long time and was not achieved overnight.
"I hope we can stabilize the situation in the North first." Yun Wuji said at this time, "The Gu clan has basically stabilized now."
Speaking of this, Yun Wuji smiled and said: "All of this is thanks to Master Song's guidance. Yunxi went to the Gu clan. This was simply a stroke of genius. It is said that the son of the Gu king is madly pursuing Yunxi. Once the marriage is completed, in the future Maybe the Gu tribe is no longer our trouble, but our ally."
Song Zhiwen smiled slightly: "I guess the Holy One should know about this, but he is not angry, right?"
"Hahaha." Yun Wuji laughed loudly: "My father is also a master of power. In his heart, the country, the country, and the country are of course the most important thing."
"Although Yunxi is his favorite only daughter, considering that I have a long history, my father knows it well." Yun Wuji thought of the situation when he reported the matter to Emperor Taiping before.
Emperor Taiping was not surprised by this, nor was he angry. He just said: "I have met the son of King Gu once. He is a good boy."
Yun Wuji heard a thousand words from this sentence.
But all in all, my father did not object, nor did he blame him for it.
This is a good sign.
…
Tens of days later, Fang Yi returned to Luyuan.
Hearing that Lu Yuan's uncle was back, someone from Luo Mansion had been waiting outside the door to greet him early.
When Fang Yi arrived at the gate of Luo Mansion, the first people he saw were Xia He, Qiu Ju and Dong Zhu.
"They're all back??" Fang Yi was slightly startled, and soon he had the answer in his heart.
Is Luo Qingyi back too?
Could it be that his old father-in-law came home to recuperate?
"Welcome my uncle back home." The three maids smiled at Fang Yi Yingying and saluted.
"Why are you so polite?" Fang Yi waved his hand, and then said with a smile: "Come, let me see, have you two changed in the Northland for so long?"
As he said that, Fang Yi looked at the three maids carefully, looking at their smiles, but there was no big change, except that their cheeks were thinner.
Fang Yi looked at it for a long time and suddenly sighed: "It would be great if Chuntao was here."
"Hey, hey." Qiu Ju said with a smile at this time: "My uncle still loves Chuntao the most. Why, I haven't seen Chuntao for a while. Do you miss Chuntao?"
"My uncle not only misses him, but also misses you." Fang Yi said with a faint smile.
"My uncle is very powerful now." Dongzhu said with a smile: "I heard that my uncle destroyed the Demon Realm and helped Zhao Wuji achieve the eighth rank. But now he is a man of great influence in Dali. The storyteller in this city will tell you all about your deeds. They are all compiled into storybooks and I tell stories every day."
Xia He also said: "Everyone underestimated my uncle before."
"False name." Fang Yi waved his hand again and asked, "You are all back. Are your father and Qing Yi also back?"
"Of course." Qiu Ju replied: "However, the situation of Shenhou is not optimistic. Miss Qingyi went to Penglai to ask for help from the Brahma Sword Shou. She will be back in a few days."
"I have a surprise for you when I come back this time." Dongzhu also smiled.
The group of people walked and talked, and soon they returned to their residence.
Nothing here has changed. Even after Fang Yi left for half a year, it is still the same.
But in front of the stone bench outside the room, a beautiful figure was sitting on the stone bench, looking forward to the arrival of someone.
Seeing that beautiful figure, Fang Yi was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Chun Tao!"
Some people died, but not completely...
