The cultural fair is held in the very famous cultural district of Luoyang, on the bank of Luoshui River.
It was already crowded with people, and there were very decent young scholars everywhere.
The people presiding over the grand ceremony in the middle were Kong Rong and Kong Wenju, the 20th grandson of Confucius and one of the seven sons of Jian'an in the future.
Kong Rong was a rare talent, diligent and studious, and was as famous as Tao Qiuhong and Chen Liuren from Pingyuan.
Kong Rong was studious by nature and well-read. He had outstanding talents when he was young and was praised by the famous scholar Li Ying.
General He Jin also valued Kong Rong because of his uprightness and reputation, and made him a general's vassal.
"Everyone, thanks to the great general's respect, I will preside over this grand event this time! Kong Rong is very scared in his heart!"
Kong Rong has been a wise man for a long time and has long been recognized by the world. Now some people are echoing his words.
"Master Kong has taught the world with his moral character and talent, and we have great admiration for him! Master Kong is truly well-deserved for hosting such a grand event!"
"Yes! Mr. Kong is amazingly talented, and I admire him endlessly!"
"..."
Everyone below echoed, and praises could be heard from everywhere.
"Thank you! Thank you for your recognition!"
Kong Rong kept smiling and nodded to everyone, then raised his palm slightly, and suddenly became quieter.
"Everyone, the Yellow Turban rebellion last year forced such a grand event to be interrupted. Fortunately, General Liu Zhang came out of the blue, and Zhang Jiao was killed, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were crowned! Only then did I become a great man..."
"We are a literary festival! Why do you mention that martial artist?"
A discordant voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Kong Rong's speech.
Everyone frowned and looked at the voice, wondering who this gullible person was.
As expected, the person speaking had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and inverted triangular eyes. At first glance, he was not an easy person to talk to.
Perhaps because he saw everyone looking at him, the man was a little panicked and kept looking around.
Kong Rong was a man with a very good temper and a very approachable manner. Now I am a little angry at this mean person.
"Who is under your command? What merits do you have? You actually despise the general?"
"me..."
Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him angrily, this man couldn't help but be a little scared, and he hesitated and couldn't speak.
"Ziyuan! Why is it you!"
I saw a handsome, burly young man with majestic appearance walking out.
"Origin...it's you..."
The mean person felt a little embarrassed and his eyes kept averting.
Kong Rong seemed to recognize this handsome and tall man and asked.
"Is this the talented Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu of the Yuan family?"
The handsome man nodded to Kong Rong and bowed his hands.
"No, it's Yuan Shao. Duke Kong is so polite!"
At this time, another discordant sound came from a distance.
"He is not a talented person from the Yuan family! He is just an illegitimate son of a concubine!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and they all looked towards the person who spoke.
I saw this man in rich clothes. Although he was short in stature, his appearance was extraordinary.
"Yuan Shao is just the son of a concubine, he is really a despicable person!"
Everyone present was amazed that this man openly insulted the Yuan family. His background must not be simple!
"Hmph! Yuan Gulu, don't go too far! No matter what you say, I am also your brother!"
Yuan Shao's eyes were full of anger, it had not been a day or two since his brother had been so presumptuous.
Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder they dared to shout openly with the Yuan family, they turned out to be from the Yuan family!
The corners of Yuan Gongli's mouth raised, revealing a sneer, and he looked at Yuan Shao with contempt.
"Brother? You deserve it! You despicable bastard! How dare you cheat under the banner of our Yuan family!"
Yuan Shao was extremely angry. His fists were clenched tightly and his nails dug into his flesh!
Suddenly, he relaxed and looked at Yuan Shu and laughed.
"Hahahahahaha, Highway, have you forgotten! I have been adopted to your uncle, my current father Yuan Cheng!"
"I am now my father's eldest son! And you are just the second son!"
Yuan Shu couldn't bear to see Yuan Shao's proud look, so he pointed at Yuan Shao and started to curse.
"You despicable beast! How dare you look down on me! Someone, teach him a lesson!"
Following Yuan Shu's order, several people rushed out from behind and headed straight for Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was not afraid at all. He raised his hand and waved slightly, and several people rushed out from behind him.
"stop!"
Just when the two parties were about to fight, a loud shout came and stopped the two guards.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw a short, dark-skinned man, who was Cao Cao.
Cao Cao walked directly to the middle of the group of guards and stretched out two arms to prevent them from fighting.
"Highway, Benchu, today is the Luoyang Cultural Conference, a grand event that even the general is paying attention to! You are fighting here, aren't you embarrassing the Yuan family!"
Yuan Shu didn't care about so much, and now he only wanted to teach Yuan Shao a lesson. Then he shouted to Cao Cao.
"Mengde, get out of the way! If I don't teach him a lesson today, my anger will never go away!"
Yuan Shao refused to give in at all and pointed at Yuan Shu angrily.
"You think I'm afraid of you!"
Just when Cao Cao was in danger, there was a burst of applause.
This is a tense moment, and the applause immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It's a child! This child is very handsome, probably in his teens.
Including the Yuan brothers, everyone was shocked.
Whose child is this? Don't want to die? Dare you applaud at this time!
Yuan Shu was full of anger and was simmering in his heart, and now he had a direct target to pour out.
"Little beast, you are tired of living, aren't you! Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
This child exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only did he not fear Yuan Shu, he instead smiled up to the sky with a childish voice.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Not only Yuan Shu, but also Yuan Shao frowned and glared at the child.
His laugh was so contemptuous that anyone could tell he was laughing at the Yuan brothers.
"Have you laughed enough?"
Yuan Shao did not express his anger directly on his face like Yuan Shu, but his eyes were fierce and his voice was unusually cold, which made everyone around him sweat for this child.
"Whose child are you! How dare you talk nonsense here! Why don't you back down!"
Cao Cao sounded very anxious. He was really afraid that the Yuan brothers would vent their anger on this child.
The child was not afraid of the words at all, but bowed to everyone with unusual calmness.
"My surname is Zhou Mingyu, and my father is Zhou Yi."
"Are you Luoyang Ling's son?"
Cao Cao was slightly relieved. Since he was Zhou Yi's son, safety would not be a problem.
"Yes, my father is Luoyang Ling."
Yuan Shu curled his lips and revealed a sneer.
"Boy, what happened to the Luoyang Order? Does the Luoyang Order make you so confident?"
"Let me tell you! In the eyes of my Yuan family, Luoyang Order? Humph!"
"Luoyang Order is nothing!"
