On the table, there was a dazzling array of gifts, piled up like a small mountain. These were the items that some minor officials had presented, and the items that those aristocrats and officials had presented were even more shocking.
" Fifth doctor, Wang Jin presents a pair of white jade horses," Xu Shu received a gift from someone and shouted.
"Minister Zuo Shu-Reiterates a pair of glazed jade bracelets."
"Grand Physician Zhang Feng offers a Nine Dragon Jade Water Cup."
······
" Young General, Meng Tian, presents a horse, a Purple Night Stallion." Seeing the items on the gift list, Xu Shu's voice could not help but become excited.
" What? It's actually a precious horse, the Purple Night Monkey? Are you kidding me? This is the best of all precious horses. I didn't expect Young General Meng Tian to take it out. This is too shocking."
What's there to be surprised about?"
" What do you know? You must know that the people in the army like horses. General Meng Tian loves horses, and General Meng Yi loves swords. This is a well-known fact. I didn't expect Meng Tian to offer a monkey. It seems like General Meng Tian values Young Master Fusu very much." A commotion could be heard from the crowd outside the door.
Among these people were peddlers and people from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. They did not have the right to enter the Fusu Residence, but they were not allowed to watch outside the door?
Therefore, many people gathered in front of Fusu's door. In their hearts, although none of the gifts on the list were theirs, they could still enjoy themselves. Moreover, they had the right to brag to everyone in the future.
These officials were also very clear about the power of these refugees. The gifts that they presented, after being publicized and boasted by these refugees, might not be a matter of not gaining face. If luck came, it could even become an opportunity for some people to hear about it.
"Monkey, what's a monkey? Why haven't I heard of it before?”After all, he was just a commoner. There were many people who did not know anything.
" Even a monkey doesn't know. You're really ignorant." This person raised his head like a rooster." Let me tell you."
" Really. Please, sir."
"The Monkey was originally a kind of scarlet horse. A few hundred years ago, it was the mount of King Mu of Zhou. It was one of King Mu's eight horses and was famous. This Purple Night Monkey is even more precious. It is the king of the monkeys. According to rumors, the Purple Night Monkey could not see its opponent's body when it ran in the dark. It could only capture its purple shadow. Its speed was extremely fast, and this Purple Night Monkey was worthy of being the king of horses. Its strength was so strong that it could stomp a battle-hardened soldier to death with a single step.”
" So powerful." This person was dumbfounded. He had no knowledge and had never been on the battlefield. He could never imagine that there was such a powerful horse in this world. It could actually trample a person to death with a single step. It was too terrifying.
"Of course. What do you think?”The young man couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Big Brother, you're really knowledgeable."
" Of course. No matter what, I studied in the Confucian school for a period of time." The young man couldn't help but puff out his chest.
" Big brother, you're amazing. Does this Hua have any other stories?" The other young man also had a look of admiration.
" Ahem, of course." Seeing the admiration in the young man's eyes, the young man straightened his back.
"Our Confucian sage, Xun Zi, once wrote in Xun Zi: Evil Human Nature: 'A horse with green ears is a fine horse from ancient times.' Do you think a horse that can be praised by Old Master Xun is an ordinary horse?”
" That's right, I've only heard of the Purple Night Monkey. I didn't expect it to really appear." The people in the marketplace couldn't help but discuss among themselves. However, what happened next made this commotion even louder.
" Young General Meng Yi offers the peerless sword Cheng Ying."
As Xu Shu shouted, everyone's eyes widened once again.
"Wait, what sword was that? I didn't hear it clearly."
"Cheng…Cheng Ying?"
"What is it? It was actually the Cheng Ying sword. Wasn't this sword lost?”
" Heavens, it's actually Cheng Ying!"
······
Hearing the name of the Cheng Ying sword, everyone could not help but be shocked. The Cheng Ying sword was an extremely famous existence, both in the past and in the present. The Cheng Ying sword was not listed in the top ten sword rankings by Feng Huzi because during his time, the Cheng Ying sword had long been lost. The Cheng Ying sword lived in legends, and no one had seen its power and appearance. Feng Huzi was no exception.
Therefore, even if Feng Huzi wanted to include the Cheng Ying sword, he did not know the exact information about it.
Now, for some unknown reason, it had actually fallen into Meng Yi's hands. Moreover, he had even taken it out and given it to Fu Su.
" General Meng Tian loves horses, but he offered the precious Purple Night Monkey to Young Master Fusu. General Meng Yi loves swords, but he offered the peerless sword Cheng Ying to Young Master Fusu. Could it be that the Meng family is announcing to everyone that they will stand firmly with Young Master Fusu?" An old man with a goatee could not help but mutter to himself.
Meng tribe's performance made everyone's imagination run wild.
" Cheng Ying Sword, it's actually our scholarly faction's Cheng Ying Sword." A person dressed like a scholar was extremely excited.
" When did the Cheng Ying sword become the scholarly faction's? Why didn't I know about it?" A shabbily dressed person couldn't help but mock. From the looks of it, there must be some grudge between the scholarly faction.
" Hmph, the Chengying Sword is a famous sword from ancient times. It was once the sword of the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it became the possession of the Wei sage Kong Zhou, one of the Three Swords of Kong. Kong Zhou is a member of our Confucian school. Tell me, isn't it an item of our Confucian school?" the scholar argued.
" If that's the case, it's true. No, according to what you said, this should be Emperor Yin's sword." The shabby student lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he reacted and was almost bypassed by the other party.
" That's…not right. The descendants of Emperor Yin have already been destroyed, but our scholarly faction still exists, so the Cheng Ying sword belongs to our scholarly faction." The scholar's face was slightly red.
" Alright, now that the Cheng Ying sword has fallen into General Meng Yi's hands, it belongs to the militarists. Who else can you blame for not protecting it? As the saying goes, the virtuous keep the treasure, and the immoral lose it. Does this mean that you Confucians are immoral?" The shabby student dared to say anything, not afraid of offending the Confucians at all.
" You…You…You, I want to duel with you!" The scholar was furious.
" Humph, it's an insult to our culture." The shabby student wouldn't make a move.
"Please wait a moment. May I ask which three swords are the Three Swords of the Confucius Temple?”An old man couldn't help but ask.
