After dealing with these horse thieves, Zhao's delegation moved forward again. This time, the soldiers were no longer as panicked as before. After that, everyone did not encounter any more trouble, and the journey to Daliang was very smooth.

, was greeted by Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period.

Originally Ji Yanran and Fang Zheng were planning to say goodbye and leave, but the third princess of the Zhao Kingdom also fell in love with Ji Yanran along the way. Now that they were in Daliang, they were even more nervous and anxious. They hoped that Ji Yanran could stay with her, and Ji Yanran

He couldn't bear to leave the third princess alone, so he agreed. Fang Zheng had nothing to do, so he simply accepted Lord Xinling's invitation to attend the reception dinner.

Logically speaking, when a princess of a country gets married, there should be a big banquet. But the fact is that not only the nominal husband, King Anli, did not show up at the banquet on the pretext of being unwell, but also the princes and ministers of Wei State.

He didn't show his face for nearly half of the time. In the end, Lord Xinling had to jointly invite Ji Yanran, and finally he was able to give enough face and put together a banquet.

Otherwise, Lord Xinling would have nowhere to put his face.

Although the atmosphere at the banquet was quite lively, the third princess did not look happy. Fang Zheng looked occasionally and could see a flash of sadness and uneasiness in her eyes. Just from this banquet, it could be seen that this

This princess will definitely not end well in Wei Kingdom in the future.

"This is the tragedy of a daughter born into a royal family."

Sensing Fang Zheng's gaze, Yan Ran sighed softly.

"I wonder what will happen to the third princess in the future..."

"What will happen in the future depends on their own choice, and I don't think there is anything sad about it."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of wine.

"As the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss. Isn't it just for this that the third princess has been prepared for this? If she was born in a commoner family, with her beauty, wouldn't she be sold by her family to become a prostitute?

, she was chosen by a certain wealthy family and used as a private residence. Compared with their lives, the third princess is already pretty good."

"Yanran cannot agree with these words."

Hearing this, Ji Yanran couldn't help but frown.

"It is true that a family of officials cannot help themselves, but they are not even qualified to be pitied. It is so sad."

"The world is never fair. If you want to be happy, you have to work hard."

Fang Zheng raised his wine glass and squinted his eyes at the wine in the glass.

"This is the case for common people, and it is the same for princes, nobles, and princesses. If you want to change, you have to show courage. Otherwise, you can only endure it. You can't take advantage of all the good things in this world.

There is no such reason, right?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ji Yanran shook her head helplessly, but before she could say anything else, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Master Fang, what you said is wrong!"

"Um?"

Fang Zheng turned around, and then he realized that a stout man with a ferocious face sitting on the seat not far away was glaring at him fiercely. Ji Yanran also frowned slightly and looked at the man.

"Who is this………"

Upon hearing Ji Yanran's question, the man hurriedly raised his chest and raised his head like a rooster, and responded loudly.

"I am Qi Guochao Wei Mou. I wonder if my lady has heard of it?"

"It turns out it was Mr. Wei who advocated learning from animals..."

Hearing Xiao Wei Mou announce his name, Ji Yanran also showed an expression of sudden realization.

"But let me ask you, if humans were no different from animals, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos?"

"Hahaha."

Faced with Ji Yanran's inquiry, Wei Mouze laughed.

"My lady has lived in the city for a long time, so of course she doesn't understand the world of animals. Taking nature as a teacher and observing the lives of birds, you can see that only by following nature can you not violate the laws of heaven. If you force yourself to suppress it, it will only be harmful and useless.

It turns people into hypocrites who are not what they seem and what they are.”

Hearing Xiao Wei Mou's answer, Ji Yanran's eyes lit up, but Fang Zheng remembered the famous joke before his rebirth and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hearing Fang Zheng's laughter, Xiao Wei Mou felt unhappy.

She glanced at him and asked.

"Why are Mr. Fang laughing? Could it be that you have some objections to Xiao Xiao's views?"

"Sorry, no objection, I just heard you say that and it reminded me of an interesting story."

"story?"

When Ji Yanran heard Fang Zheng telling a story, her interest immediately returned.

"Master Fang, do you have any interesting stories? Why don't you tell them for everyone to hear?"

"Okay, it's not a joke that can be considered elegant, but since you are asking this..."

Facing Ji Yanran's inquiry, Fang Zheng thought for a moment before speaking.

"The story goes that one day it rained heavily, and a Confucian scholar and a woman took shelter in the temple. The woman was young and beautiful, and the Confucian scholar was young and handsome. They fell in love at first sight, so the woman invited the Confucian scholar to have fun. But when faced with the woman's invitation, the Confucian scholar refused

He refused, saying that I have never met you, and if we were just having sex, wouldn't it be like a beast? But after listening to the Confucian scholar's words, the woman smiled and asked - "Then you want to be a beast?"

Or worse than a beast?"

After hearing the joke told by Fang Zheng, everyone around him was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, I'm afraid not even the men in the world can answer this question!"

Even Lord Xinling was laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up straight. The others were laughing so hard that they almost stopped breathing. Although this era is open-minded, jokes like this are unheard of. After listening to Fang Zheng's words, everyone was stunned.

When I think about it carefully, I feel that this... seems to be the wrong choice no matter what!

Either a beast, or something worse than a beast......

Even Ji Yanran looked like she couldn't laugh or cry, but she couldn't say much. After all, she took the initiative to ask, and Fang Zheng also said that it wasn't a joke that would be popular... But Ji Yanran didn't think about it.

, the other party would actually tell such a rogue story.

Only Xiao Wei Mou looked ugly and stared at Fang Zheng. Originally, he wanted to use his words to win the attention of the beautiful woman, but Fang Zheng actually used his words to attract the attention of the whole audience. Even the famous Ji Cainv

He was quite concerned. This made Xiao Wei Mou suddenly feel angry. When everyone had come to an end, he immediately stood up and walked to Fang Zheng.

"Xiao has heard about Mr. Fang for a long time. Mr. Fang traveled around the country and wiped out bandits. He must be very good at swordsmanship. Xiao is not talented and would like to ask Mr. Fang for some advice."

Hearing this, everyone around them suddenly stopped talking and showed expressions of watching a good show. Almost all the people present were human beings, so they could naturally tell that Xiao Wei Mou was going to challenge Fang Zheng. At this time, someone should have come out to speak.

But Fang Zheng was not from either party present. Strictly speaking, Fang Zheng was even from Ji Yanran's side. Now Daliang knew that Fang Zheng and this talented girl had gone out to enjoy the mountains and rivers before, so he naturally gritted his teeth in hatred towards him.

Of course I won't come out to speak for him again.

As for Xiang Shaolong and others, they wanted to talk, but this was a banquet hosted by Lord Xinling and Ji Yanran. As guests, it was not appropriate for them to say anything.

Hearing this, Ji Yanran wanted to say something, but Fang Zheng had already stood up.

"no problem."

"Master Fang?"

Facing Fang Zheng's answer, Ji Yanran was a little surprised. Although she knew that Fang Zheng's killing skills were unparalleled in the world and almost invincible. But this was a sword duel, and Ji Yanran had never seen Fang Zheng holding a sword. Moreover, the martial arts of this era

Although there is a competition of skills, strength still occupies the core position. Nao Wei Mou looks rough and majestic, full of murderous intent, and it is obvious at a glance that he is a swordsman who is not easy to mess with. In comparison, Fang Zheng seems to be helpless.

A powerful scholar, at least, doesn't look like the kind of person who would go out and kill the enemy.

"Ji, everyone, don't mind if I lend you a sword."

"certainly."

Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Ji Yanran nodded, and then quickly took out a sword.

"This is Yanran's sword. Now give it to Mr. Fang."

"Such a precious sword... well, I'm still a gentleman and won't take away anyone's love."

Fang Zheng pulled out the long sword from the scabbard, took a closer look, and then put the sword back into its sheath.

"how come………"

"Hahaha, don't worry, Ji. If I take away your sword, some people will be dissatisfied."

After saying this, Fang Zheng walked out of the seat. At this moment, everyone else had returned to their seats, leaving space for Fang Zheng and Xiao Wei Mou. However, Xiao Wei Mou saw that Ji Yanran actually gave away all his swords.

He gave it to Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng didn't want it. He was even more angry because his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. At this moment, he was also looking at him coldly.

"The sword has no eyes, please be careful, Mr. Fang."

"oh."

However, facing Xiao Wei Mou's words, Fang Zheng just put his hands behind his back and stood there looking at him.

"Then it depends on whether you have the courage to draw your sword in front of me."

As soon as Fang Zheng said this, everyone was shocked. Xiao Wei Mou was also a famous swordsman in the Qi Kingdom. Now he was actually humiliated by Fang Zheng in front of so many people. It was really surprising. Xiao Wei Mou looked even more expressionless.

Tie Qing, snorted coldly.

"Then, let Xiao Xiao come and learn Mr. Fang's clever tricks!"

Having said this, Xiao Wei Mou turned sideways, then stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, trying to draw the sword...!

However, at the moment when he drew his sword, his movements suddenly stopped.
