C162 A War Without Smoke

Looking at Xiao Wen's letter, although he didn't specifically explain the problem between him and Shangguan family by name, but through the point of view of "those who teach others will be enlightened", he faintly ridiculed Shangguan Ting's shameless attitude towards being a teacher.

"How preposterous! How preposterous! " Looking at this letter, Shangguan Tinzhi's anger flared.

Without any hesitation, he tore the letter in his hand into pieces, and then said to the servant, "Throw all of these pieces of paper away for me. I don't want to see these things, not even if it's just scraps of paper, not even for a moment! "

After he finished speaking, he still had his back facing the pile of paper, and had an exaggerated and angry look on his face.

But even so, Shangguan Tinzhi's mind was still preoccupied with such things as: "Today, all the people, even the saints below are far away, and shame is learned from the teacher. It was a saint from the past, a fool from the past. The reason why saints are saints and fools are fools is because of this? "

"The teacher of the other child, the one who teaches the book, and the reader of its sentences, is not what I call the one who preaches its wisdom. I do not know the meaning of reading, or puzzlement, or teacher, or not, primary school, I do not see its light. "

"A man who works a hundred times as a musician for a witch doctor, he is shameless." In the clan of scholars, the disciples of the day are all gathered together, laughing merrily. "

"It is shameful to be humble, but flattery to be rich and powerful."

If it was anyone else who had seen these words, they would not have been moved.

But as a Chinaman, Shangguan Tinzhi always felt that these essays were Xiao Wen's mockery of Chinaman.

Well, Han Yu, who wrote this article, was indeed mocking the Tang people. However, Xiao Wen felt that with Han Yu's position, especially with Han Yu's current status as the envoy, it was understandable for him to write this article.

However, Xiao Wen had forgotten that there was an ugly rule in this world. It was that one type of speech had two consequences when compared to two types of people.

For example, if a South Korean boasts about South Korea, it might be seen as a payoff for patriotism and nationalism. When the Chinese heard this, they felt that Gao Li was really shameless.

But if a brain-damaged Haqani said so, it would be considered a betrayal of the nation and its people.

Especially in a country like a cultural bandit, they would often say that some things from the Chinese civilization belong to them, or even directly apply for cultural heritage in such a shameless situation.

Similarly, Han Yu's teacher said that with his status as an official, it was understandable to exclaim that young people were not diligent enough to ask questions and teach them a lesson.

But in Shangguan Tinzhi's eyes, Xiao Wen, as a Chinese man, could actually talk so much about the Tang Kingdom. How preposterous!

If it wasn't for her considering her current identity, Shangguan Tinzhi would have even picked up her treasure sword and went to Xiao Wen's house to ask him to duel with her.

This, no doubt, is the common way that traditional Chinese scholars use when they find that they cannot solve a problem through debate.

However, he had more important things to do. As a spy, he had to face off against Xiao Wen, who was on the cusp of the battle and was being watched by the Han Emperor. The political risks he had to take were huge.

Shangguan Tinzhi felt that she should consider the bigger picture. As such, he gave up on the idea of battling Xiao Wen.

But at this time, the servant did not leave.

He looked at the angry expression on his host's face, and his face was filled with hesitation. He seemed to want to say something.

"What else do you have to say?" Seeing that the servant had not made a move for a long time, Shangguan Tinzhi turned around. he asked when he saw the servant hesitating to speak.

"That …" The servant hesitated for a long time before saying, "The messenger who delivered the letter, well, he is a child. Tomorrow, he said, his teacher, the man who had written the letter, would return and pay him a visit. "Please make your preparations, Master."

"Prepare my ass!" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Tinzhi immediately broke out in curses.

He ordered, "Don't clean up today. The prayer mats that were given to customers in the living room were all replaced with the worst-looking ones. "Well, you'd better put it in the stable or the pigpen for the night, and bring it back tomorrow and put it in the living room."

"Also, don't boil hot soup at home tomorrow. "There's no need to continue fighting in the well. Tomorrow, go to the river outside the city and fetch a bucket of water to welcome the guests."

Shangguan Tinzhi's face twisted in anger as she spoke.

It could be said that if Xiao Wen dared to come, he would definitely let Xiao Wen experience an unforgettable memory.

Watching the servant clean up the pieces of paper on the ground with a frightened expression, Shangguan Tinzhi nodded in satisfaction.

Then he walked into the room and said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, you are not allowed to take even half a step out of this room tomorrow …" You are not allowed to open windows or open doors until dusk. Your father will have the food brought to your room. "

"Father, is something wrong?" Wan-Er asked.

Shangguan Tinzhi thought for a moment before replying gloomily, "There's a big shot who wants to come to our country to discuss some important matters." These things are not something a little girl like you can know. Do you understand? "

"Only." Shangguan Wan'er nodded.

However, Shangguan Tinzhi scolded him, "Say yes! To learn to be submissive and submissive all day, what are you trying to say? "

"Yes …"

The next morning, Xiao Wen arrived at the Shangguan Family residence.

Seeing that the Shangguan Family still had their doors closed and didn't have any intention of welcoming guests, he couldn't help but shake his head.

He glanced at Zhuge Liang, who nodded and walked up to him.

Dong, dong, dong!

Zhuge Liang's small hands knocked powerfully on the Shangguan family's door, producing a loud sound.

Presently a servant opened the door.

The servant greeted Xiao Wen and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"I told you guys yesterday, my teacher will pay you a visit today."

"So it's Teacher!" The servant suddenly came to a realization and nodded his head. He then opened the door completely and said, "The lord has been waiting for a long time. Please come in."

Thus, everyone walked into the Shangguan Family.

However, looking at the servants of the Shangguan family, Xiao Wen could faintly detect a trace of malice through his observation skills.

Thus, he turned around and winked at Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang noticed the look in Xiao Wen's eyes and immediately understood what he meant.

Without any hesitation, she stealthily left the room without the servant's presence.

As for Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Yang Xiu, they followed the servant and entered the Shangguan family.

Sun Shangxiang looked at Xiao Wen's back from afar and muttered: "This Shangguan family seems to have some malicious intentions. As expected, conflicts between guilds were difficult to reconcile. There would probably be a fierce battle in the Shangguan Family today. However, it shouldn't level up to the level of using force, right? Of course, with Guan Yu here, the teacher will not be at a disadvantage. "

After all, as the goal of his life, Guan Yu's martial prowess was definitely a reliable synonym in Sun Shangxiang's eyes.

Without any more hesitation, Sun Shangxiang watched as the servant closed the Shangguan Family's doors again, then walked around the wall towards the backyard of the Shangguan Family.
