On the second floor of the inn, in a certain room.

Everyone quietly digested Zhao Rong's words.

At this time, Gu Yiwu seemed to have remembered something and asked:

"Tzuyu, you said before that we would set off tomorrow morning and go straight to Hanjing...so you mean that we won't meet Zhou Dufu, who we haven't met yet?"

He nodded to himself and said:

"Well, that's fine, let's make a choice between them as soon as possible. Moreover, we were originally invited by the Empress Dowager Dugu to perform the ceremony. Now the situation is clear. Dugu and Li Mingyi are allies, and now we are really in control.

There is no need for us to waver any more when we leave the court. We have the same interests as the Dugu family and we can do our best to help her become a Zen monk."

Zhao Rong smiled and waved.

"We really don't need to deliberately go see Zhou Dufu, but it won't mean we won't miss him. We will leave immediately tomorrow because Feng Chan is in a hurry, but this will not prevent them from coming to visit him.

"Brother Yiwu, actually I don't think Zhou Dufu can sit still. Let's wait and see. Maybe they are in the guest room next to them now. How about knocking on the door? Also."

Zhao Rong paused for a moment and looked at Gu Yiwu with a smile, "Who else said that we have the same interests as the Dugu family and should stop trying to help her?"

When the burly Confucian scholar and other students heard this, their eyebrows suddenly narrowed and they looked at each other in confusion.

Isn't it because they went down the mountain to take the assessment so that Meng Zhengjun could not help but give high marks to the Zen ceremony?

And the Dugu family invited them to consecrate the young emperor. Is it possible that she still wants to fail? Can she not stop trying to help them, look at her gifts.

Gu Yiwu was really confused by his friend's words, and he wanted to ask with a confused look on his face. However, at this moment, Zhao Rong spoke up again.

Seeing that he had prostituted two stunning fairies for nothing tonight, he let out a long sigh, clenched his fists and hammered his palms, and said bitterly: "Hey, Zhou Dufu, why aren't you here yet? I don't know if there are any of the proud girls of heaven in Nanchen Palace.

A kind of beauty and fairy."

Gu Yiwu and a group of students: "..."

Zhao Qian'er: "!!!"

Zhao Rong smiled sheepishly and waved his hand towards them, "Actually, I don't have any other intention. I just want to get to know each other and have a deeper understanding."

Gu Yiwu opened his mouth, looked at Zhao Rong who was sighing, and muttered: "Ziyu, people can't, at least they shouldn't."

Zhao Rong laughed for a while and then gradually became serious. He looked at everyone and said leisurely:

"We deliberately stayed in Xingzi Town. In addition to clarifying the current situation in Dali and the interests of all parties, there is also the most important point.

"Achieving the former can only be regarded as completing a small part of the purpose, and it is done by the way. The latter is the real purpose of our coming here."

Zhao Rong paused and gave Gu Yiwu an expectant and encouraging look.

The burly Confucian scholar with thick eyebrows and big eyes frowned, and a certain tiger body shook, and he realized, "Tzuyu, you are saying that the most important purpose of our coming here is... free prostitution!"

Zhao Rong's smile narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips that had just been raised couldn't suppress the twitching. He looked at the stunned Gu Yiwu speechlessly. The next second, his face was stern and resolute, "No!"

"It's not free sex? Then you're so enthusiastic about free sex tonight...Okay, what on earth is that? Tzuyu, stop pretending and tell me!"

Everyone was confused and urged him one after another.

Zhao Rongjue shouldn't waste his emotions on these sleeping dragons and phoenixes with them. Hey, being invincible is so, so lonely...

He said directly: "Everyone, we are coming to Dali on this trip. What are our identities?"

A student from Zhengyi Hall analyzed, "We are here to assess, so we are...assessing students?"

"It's too small, the pattern is too small." Zhao Rong shook his head.

Gu Yiwu relaxed his eyebrows at this time, nodded slowly, and realized: "In the eyes of the princes and people of Dali Court, we represent Linlu Academy and are the authority in the authority of the Zen ceremony..."

There was another student who was more witty and rushed to sum up: "So we are the emissaries of the Immortal Family sent down by the big forces. In addition, we also like to have sex for free, so they all have to be happy."

Zhao Rong shook his head, not joking this time, and explained seriously: "Everyone, prostitution is just a means, not an end."

Then, without waiting for any reaction from his classmates, he changed the subject and agreed:

"That's right. Our identity as the Immortal Envoy of the Great Immortal Family is our role on the chessboard of Dali. We want to maintain the greatest influence so that all forces will be afraid to please us and influence the direction of Dali's situation.

We have to maintain this role positioning without any deviation in the eyes of everyone in Dali.

"As for which side we prefer in private and what we think, that is another matter, but we cannot reveal it now so that they can find out. This will be the case until the ceremony of enthronement is successfully held.

"

Gu Yiwu was confused and concluded:

"So we must have a business-like attitude at the beginning? At least on the surface, we should show this. Then let them who have interests and appeals come to us one after another to win our support. In the end, just like tonight, we will manipulate them at will?"

Suddenly another student from the Hall of Justice spoke up with a calm tone:

"Mr. Zhao Xiao, I have a question. Even so, as Mochi students, Dali's enthronement is our mid-month assessment. I think everyone in Dali who is interested should have heard about it clearly. How can we hide our background from them?

"

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows.

At this moment, Gu Yiwu nodded in agreement with his colleague's question, and said doubtfully:

"And Ziyu, why did you accept Su Xianzi and Luo Xianzi tonight? They are romantic, but they are irresponsible. According to our role positioning you just said, this is not detrimental to our integrity.

, a business-like image?”

Hearing this, Zhao Rong looked around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He first looked at the student who raised doubts in front of him, his eyes were appreciative, but his expression was half-smiling, and he asked:

"Who says that we, as examination students, can't have a business-like attitude when it comes to the ceremony of enthronement? Do we have to get high scores in the exam? Isn't it okay if we don't care?"

At first glance, it seems that he has never been a scumbag. On this point, Brother Yushu has done a good job. Well, the days of fishing and paddling with Brother Yushu are really nostalgic. I miss him on the 40th day...

Zhao Rong squinted his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and looked at everyone:

"And it is precisely because we don't care that we are not in a hurry for Fengchan Dali. Whoever likes to be impatient can hurry up. Anyway, we will never be the most anxious one. Under the noses of all the forces in Dali, slowly

I hurried on my way, took a leisurely detour to visit Xingzi Town, and went to Zuixian Tower to drink flower wine...

"If we are not in a hurry, we will wait slowly to see who is anxious first. But if it is the opposite, and we rush to Hanjing in a hurry, we will expose our background. Friends and foes are all naturally distinguished, and

Or a local snake hiding in the dark, we must be confused." He shook his head.

At this time, Zhao Rong became the focus of everyone in the room. His words were like a big invisible hand, grabbing their eyes tightly and keeping them focused.

"...Furthermore, a great man once said that human nature is a very cheap thing. It is difficult to cherish things that are obtained easily.

"The more you try to help them enthusiastically, the more they become suspicious or indifferent. If you hold them back, they can't help but come to you and beg you, but you won't let go, leaving them scratching their heads and asking for help.

If you ask for help, then after they get help in the end, they will be more careful and cherish it. After it is done, they will be grateful and remember the kindness forever."

Zhao Rong, who was sitting on the chair, chuckled, tilted his body to the other side, and used his hand to support his chin.

His voice paused and he looked around the room. Gu Yiwu and others either frowned in thought or suddenly had an epiphany.

"Hey, that makes sense. Ziyu, who is the great man who said this? He actually said such wise words." Gu Yiwu's eyes opened sharply.

"Well, to be honest, it's me." Zhao Rong looked a little embarrassed.

(???(???(???*)

Everyone in the room: The great man is yourself!

"Brother Yiwu has received the award, don't you dare accept it or not." Zhao Rong bowed his hand.

Don’t dare to be one? You’ve become a fucking great man, so why don’t you dare to be one...

Gu Yiwu's head was covered with black lines.

After letting everyone digest for a while, Zhao Rong cast his calm eyes like a green edge on Gu Yiwu and asked again with interest:

"Who said that people who handle official business must maintain an upright attitude and not engage in prostitution in vain?

"We strive to be an upright person in their eyes and work hard to maintain the so-called impartial authority. However, it is a self-defeating burden, making all parties think that we are impartial and honest and difficult to deal with. This is contrary to our ultimate goal."

Gu Yiwu kept his back, "Ziyu, you mean..."

Zhao Rong turned his head and looked at everyone:

"I just said, whether it's free prostitution or the initial stance of doing business in a fair manner, they are just means, not ends.

"We are coming down the mountain as the envoys of the Academy and are the neutral authority of the Zen Ceremony. Why should we foolishly end up taking sides?

"Secretly, no matter how powerful they are, no matter what grudges they have between them, we don't care, and we welcome them to come to us to contact us, give us gifts, and express their interests.

"Which of them wants the ceremony to succeed, and which ones wants the ceremony to fail, or other weird results, they can talk openly, and we will just smile and listen, and understand it by the way, and then we can gradually give them some vague and ambiguous information.

'Accurate words', but until the final ceremony of enshrining the Zen is successfully completed and the truth comes out, we will not completely lean towards any party."

Zhao Rong opened the palm of one hand, reached forward, and grabbed it hard from the air.

"Just like this, we need to balance all the forces and stop them from messing around. During this process, we only need to make every effort to prepare for the Feng Chan. The success or failure of the Feng Chan will be determined by doing everything we can and listening to fate. This is

The purpose of our trip.

"But they don't know this. They are laymen when it comes to Feng Chan. We are Confucian scholars studying etiquette. We are experts in their eyes. Well, in fact, we are not sure.

"Whether it is the Dugu clan, Zhou Dufu and Li Mingyi, or some other chaotic forces, in order not to offend us, they have made us completely fall to their enemies. While we are preparing for the Zen ceremony, we dare not cause trouble.
