Anyang Villa, located on the edge of the inner city, is the second property of Anyang Hou Pang Yi in the capital.

The inner city of Xingjing is worth every inch of land. It is not easy for others to have a yard here, but Pang Yi occupied two places by himself. Although the other courtyard is located on the edge of the inner city and is not large in area, it can still be seen that it has extraordinary power.

This is not something you can buy with money alone.

On this day, after noon, people came and went in the courtyard, and were extremely busy.

When the sun sets and the sky becomes dark, lights are lit in the yard. When the sky is getting late, the lights will be bright.

Since the evening, people have arrived one after another, bowing each other, with thoughtful etiquette and all are Confucian disciples.

"When I received the invitation, I didn't agree with it. I thought it was no big deal after being a military general. But after I came and saw you, I realized that it was another grand event!"

At the gate of the villa, several familiar Confucian scholars met and stopped talking.

This time, the daughter of Anyang Hou held a banquet in a separate courtyard and sent invitations. The selected people were people who were slightly famous among the candidates. There were not many people, but they seemed to be very literary when they gathered together.

In this exam, there were a few thousand candidates. If everyone came, not to mention Anyang Villa, even if the Anyang Marquis Mansion could not be treated, they could only choose someone to deliver a letter. However, this also reflects from the indirection that the power of Anyang Marquis Mansion was as if they had a certain understanding of the situation of many candidates, so that they could only be screened out.

Here, when the Confucian scholar was talking, someone shook his head and said, "Although he is the daughter of a military general, the Marquis of Anyang is different from ordinary military generals. He is not only a descendant of a nobleman, but also has strong military achievements."

"Oh? Brother Wang, you came from the Three Jins in Hedong. I think you know a lot about the frontier. I wonder what kind of achievements this Anyang Marquis has?"

The scholar who asked this question came from the south. This great ceremony of talent gathered scholars from all over Darui, and was found everywhere. At that time, mortals with poor communication and lack of supernatural powers were difficult to obtain current affairs information, let alone military information, and they didn't even know much about Darui's generals.

This is also because Da Rui inherited the peace for a long time. Ma Fangnanshan has become a military commander with literature. Scholars are born with a sense of superiority towards military generals, so they don’t pay much attention to it.

But now it involves military and national affairs and is in Xingjing, which is naturally different.

When asked, the scholar surnamed Wang replied: "The Marquis of Anyang guarded the north and took the initiative to send troops several times to attack the hinterland of Beihu, drove away several major tribes, and killed the enemy and broke into a thousand times. He is a first-class general. If he had not turned the tide in the recent war, the state would probably have ceded territory and asked for peace again."

When he said this, he inevitably attracted discussions among others. He had their own opinions on military strategies, and he seemed to be a famous military strategist in his words.

But someone frowned and asked, "Why? Brother Wang said the word "Ye"?"

"You still don't know about this..." The scholar surnamed Wang shook his head, knowing that he had made a mistake, but he did not deliberately conceal or conceal it, which attracted people's imagination.

In this way, others want to know the situation more and ask more carefully for a while.

This is a microcosm of the scholars who are talking about, with similar groups around them, or two people facing each other, or in groups of three or five.

Their topics are not complicated. They are mostly military and national affairs, or related to the Marquis of Anyang, the leader of the other courtyard. However, they concentrated on the examination again. However, not all the examination questions were involved in the conversation, and there were rumors related to the examination.

"Have you heard about it? The test questions were leaked in advance in this exam."

"I have heard of this matter a little. I heard that officials from the Ministry of Rites were involved, and the court has sent officials to investigate it secretly."

"Really? I thought it was nonsense!"

"The Gong Academy has not yet opened, and many examiners are still among them. I don't know if there are any changes in it."

"If you say that you miss the question in advance, it may not be impossible, as far as I know..."

...

Talk about it, the scholars slowly moved forward and walked into the other courtyard.

When passing by, many people couldn't help but look at the two guards next to the door.

The two of them were wearing armor and were motionless like statues. Anyone who walked by them could capture an unusual aura from them, giving them a strange feeling, and goose bumps appeared on the surface of their skin.

In contrast, the two guards looked at the scholars, with a look of contempt that was not easy to detect.

"These two people have also been on the battlefield. Although they have restrained their murderous intent, they will inevitably be leaked. The Pang family is indeed extraordinary, worthy of the military family. The two guards outside the examination room that day had arbitrary murderous intentions, which was already surprising. I didn't expect that the guards guarding the gate today were also extraordinary."

In the distance, Qiu Yan walked slowly. When he saw the guard at the door, he quickly saw a clue. He thought to himself, his feet kept stepping on the ground, and his body shaking, giving people a feeling of lightness, as if there was no strength, but when his body shook, he was only ten feet away, abrupt but natural, full of contradictions. The scholars next to him did not react at all.

Time has passed two days before the day Pang Qianru and others come to visit.

Qiu Yan came here this time to the banquet. Compared to two days ago, his face was still pale, but there was a little blood. However, when he walked, he still felt weak.

The two guards didn't look down on the weak appearance of many scholars. At this time, they happened to see Qiu Yan and noticed his pale face and empty steps. The contempt in their eyes became more and more intense. But when they blinked, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them, and Qiu Yan was already in front of them!

"Hmm?" The trance came, which made the two of them feel blurred in memory. Then the qi and blood rushed, repeating Qingming, but Qiu Yan had already passed by them.

"The scholar just now..." The next moment, the two guards looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes, and then they restrained their contempt.

……………………

"My control over the city's mind is not pure enough. It is still good to affect ordinary people's senses. If you face someone with some cultivation and abundant qi and blood, the degree of interference will be greatly reduced, and you still have not had enough understanding."

In the courtyard, Qiu Yan was thinking about it, and someone greeted him by the door and asked him to take out the invitation.

Qiu Yan also had an invitation, which was sent to the inn by someone from Pang’s mansion yesterday.

Walking into the courtyard gate, bypassing the screen wall, a table was placed, and there was a middle-aged scholar sitting behind him, comparing the list. Behind him, a servant in blue was standing, with his eyes rumbling.

After Qiu Yan handed over the invitation, he was not in a hurry and turned to look at the scene in the courtyard.

The main hall is brightly lit, and carved beams can be seen vaguely. There are low tables and cushions on both sides of the path in front of the door.

Between the table mats, many scholars gathered and dispersed, and were led by others and sat down one by one.

“There are quite a lot of people coming today.”

Just as Qiu Yan was muttering, the middle-aged scholar took his invitation and glanced at him, then was stunned, then looked up at the person, with a trace of strangeness in his eyes.

"It turns out it's Mr. Qiu, please come inside. My lady has been waiting for a long time."

Qiu Yan nodded and stepped in, and the middle-aged scholar turned around and gave the servant instructions. The servant took the order, ran to the backyard.

Qiu Yan ignored it and walked inward under the guidance of the famous maid. Judging from his attitude, he was about to enter the main hall.

This scene was seen by the scholar beside the door and inevitably caused discussion.

At this banquet, only a few candidates were invited, and every invited person was very happy. But as soon as he walked in, he saw the seat arrangement and knew that someone was sitting in the outer courtyard, but someone could enter the room, so he immediately felt unbalanced.

Rationally, they knew that there were many people who invited him and the lobby was small, so they could only arrange it like this. But in terms of emotions, how many people would feel that they were not as good as others. Those who could enter the lobby were undoubtedly the best. How could people who could not enter be convinced?

Seeing that Qiu Yan was about to be led in, the few people who were close to him immediately walked up.

"Let's go!" The leader was a man over 30 years old. He was gentle and elegant, with heroic spirit hidden between his eyebrows. He was obviously a person with a firm mind.

"Dare you ask me about this brother's surname?" He walked up, saluted respectfully, and blocked Qiu Yan's future without hesitation.

"This young man..." The maid who led the way was about to explain, but Qiu Yan took a step forward, squinted his eyes and looked at the other person, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes.

The man opposite suddenly felt like he was seen through, and he actually wanted to retreat, but the arrow was on the string and had to calm down the strangeness in his heart. He was about to speak, but Qiu Yan snatched it first.

"This brother, maybe I think I was taken to the lobby by someone, and I was unwilling to accept it, so I came over to stop it?" As soon as Qiu Yan spoke, he made the words clear, and there was a tense atmosphere around him.

Qiu Yan met Wen Zhizhen outside the Gongyuan that day, and his reputation had spread. However, there were many people at that time, and it was impossible for everyone to see him, so this face was still unfamiliar to many people.

"This..." The man didn't expect Qiu Yan to be so direct, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Don't be surprised." Qiu Yan laughed. His purpose was two: to make a name for himself and to clear away many obstacles. The other was to understand the humanity and grasp the humanity of talented people in the literary world. No matter which one, he would inevitably deal with the people at the banquet. Some people came to him, but there was no reason to retreat.

"Wen is not the first, I think you will definitely not accept it, and there is no need to say anything false. The fight between you is just like a fight. I see that there is firmness between you, your behavior is in secret, and your eyes have the intention of respecting him. What you should learn is the way of Sun Sheng. I will show you a Sun Sheng spirit. If you can solve it, Qiu will naturally retreat! Let you enter the house!"

Speaking of this, Qiu Yan turned to the maid and said, "Go and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone." As he spoke, his aggressiveness was beyond words.

The maid served the rich and had seen many people, but she was still shocked by Qiu Yan's words. When the other party's eyes fell, she was shocked and shuddered all over. She didn't dare to refute and took the order and left!

When the maid left, Qiu Yan looked at the man who was as dumb as a wooden chicken opposite him, and his eyes turned, and his eyes swept across the people behind him, and then smiled and said, "You don't have to stand behind, come forward."
