Chapter 256: The great scholar’s rage (2/2)
“Yes.Since that night, he hasn’t come out in three days already.”
After that large battle with the Snake Scorpion Beasts, Gu Qianqiu had not appeared in the subsequent clean up battles.He just locked himself in the laboratory, fully focused on studying the diagram for the Four Directional Lightning Array.
There was too much wisdom contained within this array diagram!
Gu Qianqiu was like an explorer that had just discovered hidden treasure.Under his excitement and fanaticism, he had spent three days without sleep, creating three notebooks covered in notes.
“The Green Wood Marquis Mu Rong greets Mister Qiu!”
Gu Qianqiu was interrupted by the Green Wood Marquis and his eyes flashed with a trace of unhappiness.He immediately closed his book and walked out of the laboratory, “Since the Green Wood Marquis is personally here, then you should know who this old man is.”
The Green Wood Marquis did not play the fool and said with a face filled with deep respect, “For the great scholar to come to Qing State to solve our problems, it is Mu Rong’s fault for not recognizing your venerable self, so I came to make up for my mistakes.Mu Xuan, why haven’t you taken out the gift yet.”
“No need for this kind of common item.”Gu Qianqiu did not even take a look at it and gave a sigh, “Solving the problem of Qing State is not my credit, it is not my credit!”
Qu Qianqiu had spent several days studying the diagram.
The more he studied it, the more awe he felt.Just a single detail from this array was enough for Gu Qianqiu to study for several days.
Just who was that youth?
Mu Rong saw the great scholar did not want to accept the gift, so he didn’t force him, “The Green Ridge is open once again and Qing State is filled with vitality.This marquis wants to host a large banquet and hopes that the great scholar will attend.”
As Gu Qianqiu was about to speak.
Suddenly a loud screech was heard.When they looking into the sky, they saw a hundred giant flying demon beasts.They had light yellow feathers that were the same colour as the sun.The golden brown lion half of the beast completely clashed with the golden yellow hawk head.It was very big and powerful.
On the back of each griffin was a knight wielding a spear.
“The Griffin Knights?It’s the royal knights!”
“Imperial City has arrived?”
For a small country like ths Southern Summer Country, airborne mounts were considered rare.Most griffins were imported from other countries, so while the Griffin Knights were very strong, there weren’t enough to create an entire troop.They were mainly used for scouting, delivering letters, or protecting the royal palace.
A man with a full beard fell down to the ground and respectfully kneeled down, “I am the royal knight’s third squad leader, Cao Bao.I greet the great scholar and the Green Wood Marquis.”
The Green Wood Marquis asked, “For the royal knights to take action, could something big have happened?”
“My group has come to Qing State with an imperial order to go with the great scholar to Central State for a mission.”Cao Rong held a confidential letter in both hands, “This is an urgent letter sent to the great scholar from Imperial City, I ask the great scholar to read it!”
Gu Qianqiu swept his eyes over it.
His brows tightly knit together and his face turned dark.
“Humph, what a wild brat!You’re angering this old man to death!”Gu Qianqiu angrily threw the letter to the ground, “How could the Southern Summer Country tolerate the arrogance of a fellow like this!”
The Green Wood Marquis asked in a surprised voice, “What has happened for the great scholar to be this angry?”
“There is a brat that doesn’t know the height of the heavens or the depths of the earth that appeared in Central State.Not only did he shame my honorary disciples and my fame, he also used my name to challenge me!The most despicable thing is that he was the one that caused the chaos in Central State, causing several tens of thousands of people to die.”
“There was such a matter that happened?”
The Green Wood Marquis was very surprised and looked over the letter.
Information was hard to spread in this era.Qing State couldn’t even maintain itself in the past few months, so the Green Wood Marquis was not focused on affairs of the nation.Seeing this scared him.This letter was filled with crimes of this youth named “Chu Tian”, making him sound like a true villain.
Not only did this person insult a previous student of the great scholar, he even insulted the great scholar.If this was spread, then it could easily shock the Southern Summer Country.
What was even worse was that he had created a stir in Central State.He had eliminated the three great families and installed himself as the leader of Central State.
It wasn’t just that!
Although he had committed all kinds of crimes, Imperial City did not immediately punish him and sent an imperial envoy to investigate.The result was?After travelling tens of thousands of miles to Central State, before he even got to sit down, he had been crippled!
For an arrogant and unreasonable attitude like this, it was rarely seen in this era!
“With the Divine Wind Marquis in Central State, how could it become this messy?”
“Divine Wind Marquis?”Gu Qianqiu was dissatisfied with the Divine Wind Marquis, “He has already gone into seclusion and did not manage Central State properly, that is how such a wild person appeared!Since this old man is already here, then how could I not see this evil spawn.I’ll personally pay a visit to Central State!”
The Green Wood Marquis said, “This marquis is willing to lend the great scholar a helping hand.”
“In the Southern Summer Country, no one dares to move against me, even the Three Rulers have to give me face.What does a trivial Central State City count for?Not to mention Southern State’s Western Marquis has also received this order and will arrive in Central State soon.This old man will head over first and investigate everything.”
The Qing State military had already been exhausted and was not suited to take action.
“This is also good!”
Gu Qianqiu did not waste any more time in Qing State.He immediately mounted Cao Bao’s griffin and headed to Central State.
While the lush green lands of Qing State was passing by underneath them, Gu Qianqiu couldn’t help thinking of the youth named “Yu Changge”.He did not know where this peerless talent came from and didn’t know when he would have a chance to learn from him again.
Gu Qianqiu hated the fact that his face couldn’t be thicker and he should have stubbornly insisted with the other side.Now he was gone and it was unknown where he went.
Once this matter in Central State was solved, he had to properly investigate.
