Chapter 919 Kong Xuan Visits Jixia
Kong Xuan slowly opened his eyes, already having made up his mind. He looked out at the bustling street scene. No matter what, he had to meet this Su Ye in person to see what made him so special and whether he could become the true enlightened ruler in his heart.
As night fell, the Tianheng Mansion was gently bathed in a soft moonlight. The Zhenguo Duke's mansion was located in the heart of this bustling city, and under the night sky, the mansion was dimly lit.
A series of light footsteps echoed in the corridors of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Jing Ni, with her graceful figure and dressed in a fishing net outfit, moved silently through the mansion like a ghost in the dark night.
As the main intelligence organization under Su Ye's command, Luo Wang's intelligence network has long been spread to every corner of Tianheng Prefecture, like an invisible giant net, taking in every subtle movement of this great city.
Whether it's gossip in the alleys or secret meetings of high-ranking officials, nothing can escape the eyes and ears of the informants.
Therefore, in Tianheng Prefecture, which has now become Su Ye's base camp, after Su Ye gave the order, within an hour or two, the Luo Wang had already compiled Kong Xuan's specific situation and handed it over to Jing Ni, who then passed it on to Su Ye.
"Your Highness, the secret message from the Net has arrived."
Jingni pushed open the door, stepped into the room, bowed, and presented the secret letter with both hands.
Su Ye took the secret letter, gently opened it, and unfolded the scroll. He saw that it was densely filled with records of Kong Xuan's every move in Tianheng Prefecture.
He glanced through the secret letter, his brows furrowing slightly. It was a shame that Kong Xuan hadn't come to visit him with his grandfather's letter of recommendation.
Instead, he chose to wander around Tianheng Prefecture, which really puzzled Su Ye.
"What exactly is this five-colored bird up to?"
Su Ye muttered to himself, but a playful smile crept onto his lips.
He understood Kong Xuan's character: proud and arrogant, he would never easily submit to anyone, and even if he sought refuge with a wise ruler, he would insist on doing so in his own way and showing a unique style.
Su Ye continued reading the secret letter, which detailed Kong Xuan's various behaviors in the marketplace: chatting with vendors and inquiring about Su Ye's situation; enjoying food at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and listening to the diners' discussions; and even showing great interest in the zither music played by the woman in plain clothes.
"This guy is really living a carefree life."
Su Ye couldn't help but chuckle, her fondness for Kong Xuan growing even stronger.
After putting down the secret letter, Su Ye stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the tranquil night sky outside, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Kong Xuan's arrival undoubtedly added a bright touch to his ambitions.
This person, second only to the sage, is a top-tier individual in both martial prowess and strategic acumen.
Su Ye gazed at the bright moon outside the window, a strange sense of anticipation welling up in her heart.
How exactly would Kong Xuan, the number one person below the sage, "join" him?
A night breeze blew by, bringing a touch of coolness and dispelling Su Ye's thoughts.
He turned around, sat back down at his desk, picked up his pen, and began writing a reply.
"Jingni, give this letter to the demons and monsters of Luo Wang and tell them to continue to keep a close eye on Kong Xuan's movements. They must be very careful and make sure he doesn't become aware of our presence."
"Um... never mind, he probably already knew..."
After writing his reply, Su Ye folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Jing Ni, casually giving her an instruction.
Fall in love with reading, starting with Cola Novels.
But before he could finish speaking, Su Ye suddenly remembered Kong Xuan's powerful weapon with a base level of 109. He realized that Kong Xuan must have already discovered it when the Luo Wang was investigating.
Not long after, as night deepened, the Zhenguo Duke's mansion remained brightly lit. A series of hurried footsteps broke the silence inside, and Jingni pushed open the door again, clutching a secret letter tightly in her hand, her expression showing a hint of urgency.
"Your Highness, another secret message has arrived from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven)."
Jingni's voice carried a barely perceptible panting, clearly indicating that she had jogged all the way here.
Upon hearing this, Su Ye raised an eyebrow, put down his pen, and accepted the secret letter handed to him by Jing Ni.
"Um... Kong Xuan has already left Tianheng Prefecture!"
He gently opened the envelope, unfolded the paper, and saw a few lines of hurried handwriting that revealed an unexpected message.
Su Ye was taken aback. The five-colored bird had just been wandering around Tianheng Mansion, and then it left in the blink of an eye. As he continued reading, Su Ye's eyes shone even brighter.
"Kong Xuan went straight to the Jixia Academy!"
This news stirred something within him. The Jixia Academy was a man-made cultural holy land in Hengzhou that he had personally organized. It was founded by Guan Zhong, a leading figure in Confucianism, and was an academic holy land that brought together many scholars from the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Yong Dynasty.
Kong Xuan's choice to go at this time was undoubtedly an endorsement of Guan Zhong and the Jixia Academy, and also an indirect affirmation of Su Ye's vision and magnanimity.
What kind of interaction would Kong Xuan, the foremost figure after the sage, have with Guan Zhong? And how would he display his brilliance?
Meanwhile, Kong Xuan had already left the bustling streets of Tianheng Prefecture and embarked on the path leading to Jixia Academy.
The Jixia Academy was exceptionally quiet under the night sky, with only a few lanterns swaying gently in the breeze, emitting a soft glow. Kong Xuan, dressed in a magnificent five-colored robe, his clothes fluttering, looked like an immortal descending to earth, his steps light and his expression serene.
The academy's architecture was simple and solemn, exuding a rich cultural heritage. Kong Xuan looked up at the towering gate tower and felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.
He strode through the gatehouse and walked slowly along the bluestone path. The pines and cypresses on both sides were lush and tall. Every now and then, scholars dressed in Confucian robes would hurry by, or gather in twos and threes to discuss academic issues.
The academy was filled with the sound of students reciting their lessons. Some were writing furiously at their desks, while others were discussing in hushed tones. The air was thick with a strong academic atmosphere.
Kong Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the purity and dedication of the literati, and a sense of respect welled up in his heart.
Before long, Kong Xuan arrived at Guan Zhong's residence. It was a simple courtyard filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.
Kong Xuan stood outside the courtyard gate, took a deep breath, and gently knocked on the door knocker.
A moment later, the door slowly opened, and an elderly man dressed in a Confucian robe appeared before them; it was none other than Guan Zhong.
"Nephew Kong Xuan, what a rare guest! I never expected you to come here, I am very pleased."
When Guan Zhong saw Kong Xuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he then smiled.
"Master Guan Zhong, it's been many years since we last met, and you still retain your charm."
Kong Xuan bowed respectfully, his tone conveying a sense of reverence.
Guan Zhong laughed heartily, took Kong Xuan's hand, and led him into the house.
The room was simply furnished, with a bookshelf filled with all sorts of books and several unfinished manuscripts on the table, clearly works that Guan Zhong was writing.
