C472 Tongue like a spring (1/2)
Everyone followed the voice and looked over. They saw a weak scholar timidly standing up from behind the three young men. He looked at the crowd with some fear in his eyes.
This scholar was Fang Yunlong. Seeing that Fatty Ji was momentarily speechless, he thought for a moment and decided to speak up for him. After all, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, he had beaten back the Great Song Martial Forest's Heaven Severing Scholar many times during the battle on the southern front.
When Zhao Zhen saw that this person was sitting at the same table as the three young men, he stood out and spoke up for them. He thought this person was a close friend of the three young men and said, ”This young brother here is a disciple of some great hero. Please forgive this old man for not being able to recognize you.”
Seeing the weak and feeble scholar stand up to speak for him, the three young masters were startled, and Fatty Ji even turned to look at Fang Yunlong, frowning, but did not say anything. He hadn't decided what to say yet.
Even if he was mistaken, it would not matter if he offended the Great Song Empire, because those were his words, and not his own words.
Fang Yunlong smiled sheepishly, and said: ”Old Master Zhao, this young one is Cheng Jinsheng, a scholar that does not enter the martial arts world. He was saved by Brother Ji, Brother Wu, and Brother Zhang when he left the city. Because of my curiosity, I wanted to explain this matter to you all. ”
Fang Yunlong's humble yet fearful performance had successfully fooled all of the martial artists present. These people were all famous experts, and naturally would not be angered by a weak scholar's words, they all nodded, agreeing to Fang Yunlong's request.
Zhao Zhen laughed and said, ”Little Brother Cheng, since you have something to say, tell me what happened.”
With the approval of the majority of the martial artists, Fang Yunlong's pale face returned to normal. She spoke to the rest clearly: ”Everyone, I am repeating Brother Ji's original words.
Brother Ji said at that time: When that time comes, I will bring the martial arts experts from the Great Song Nation to the Tiger Hidden Valley, just in case there is a problem.
When Fang Yunlong said that, the people from the Great Song Sect all looked at Fatty Ji, the fury on their faces revealing once again. So what Black Phoenix Fairy said was true, this Tang Dynasty Martial Forest is clearly treating us as prisoners.
They were escorted to Tiger Hidden Valley to watch the birth of the Heaven Severing Divine Sword. As the saying goes, people fight for a single breath of air, buddha fight for a single incense stick of time. Since the people of the Tang Dynasty and martial arts forest look down on us and think that there's something wrong with us, then we shouldn't be polite.
In an instant, the crowd began to berate Fatty Ji angrily and belittle the Tang Dynasty and Martial Forest. As for the experts of the Tang Dynasty, they naturally wouldn't willingly accept such a scolding.
Fatty Ji turned around angrily to look at Fang Yunlong. He said so, but in the end it was a whisper and he couldn't say it out loud.
That was why he had his own concerns. He thought about how he could make these words round enough to make Wu Lin of the Great Song Province feel disgusted. He didn't expect that this scholar would actually say it out loud.
Once again, the scene erupted. Fang Yunlong snickered, junior, see how the Heaven Severing Scholar turned his hand into a rain of rain, I will break the rules for you to see.
Fang Yunlong called out loudly, ”Everyone, please listen to what this one has to say.” Unfortunately, he played the role of a scholar. Although he raised his voice to shout, very few people heard it.
”Quiet!” A loud shout stunned everyone. They saw Zhao Zhen standing on a table as he said to everyone, ”Everyone, you just agreed that this old man will resolve this matter. Please remain calm and listen to what little brother Cheng has to say before making a decision.”
Using Zhao Zhen to suppress the crowd, Fang Yunlong smiled lightly at Fatty Ji, then cupped his hands towards the crowd and said: ”Black Phoenix Fairy, may I ask if Brother Ji's words from before were the same?”
Black Phoenix Fairy frowned, as if she was considering Fang Yunlong's intentions. However, everything Fang Yunlong said was the truth, so after hearing his inquiry, she nodded and said: ”That's right, the original words are indeed true.”
Fang Yunlong smiled and said to the people of the Great Song Nation: ”Everyone, this is a misunderstanding.
The birth of the Heaven Severing Divine Sword was a grand occasion for me and your country's Wu Lin. ”However, due to the peace agreement between our empire and your country, only a thousand experts have the chance to watch this grand occasion. However, there is some inconvenience …”
Hearing Fang Yunlong's words, the face of Da Song party turned doubtful. What inconvenience?
Fang Yunlong said heavily: ”In a war, regardless of victory or defeat, the casualties are still the common people. Ten-odd years ago, during the battle, your country's soldiers, martial arts experts, charged into the city and entered me. I turned to the soldiers.
Countless heroes of the martial world have died. Many lives have also been taken in your country. This includes the lives of your parents and brothers, as well as your friends and relatives. Everyone here is naturally grieving for you. ”
Fang Yunlong's words struck deep in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Nation. Most of them had participated in the war before, and many of their relatives and friends had died beside them. The reason for coming to the Tang Dynasty this time was not only to see the birth of the Heaven Severing Divine Sword, but also to pay respects to his friends and family who had died in battle.
After the war that year, all the dead citizens of the Great Song were buried in one place by General Zhang Guifang. After the Heaven Severing Divine Sword appeared, everyone returned to the Song Dynasty to offer worship.
