The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

The capital, Moet Tea House.

Many Confucian scholars sat at the table, drinking tea.

Originally, the teahouse was supposed to be very lively. Normally, scholars of literati gathered together, either to talk high-spirited speeches, or to dance with words and write poems.

But at this time, Confucian scholars were still there, but very few people spoke.

They are worrying about state affairs. Now that the battle at sea is not clear, they have no intention of reciting poems to fight against it.

After a long silence, a relatively young student suddenly asked the people around him:
"Brother Xu, in your opinion, what chance do we have of winning this sea battle?"

This question caused many people to look at "Brother Xu". He is a student of the Imperial College, named Xu Bai, quite talented, knowledgeable about current events, and has predicted many things before. .

Xu Bai sighed softly upon hearing this, shook his head slightly, and did not speak.

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was obvious, and he didn't like it.

The young student frowned and asked: "Why? I am a big man with strong horses, strong guns and strong boats, and brave soldiers. Why can't we fight?"

Xu Bai said in a deep voice: "This is true. If it's one-on-one, why have I ever been afraid of others? It's just that the other party is not the power of a country!"

"Bastard! These animals are immoral!" The young student slapped the table and cursed angrily.

Xu Bai glanced at him, and scoffed: "How many countries in the world are as particular about morality and etiquette as I am a big man? These bandits only want to plunder our wealth, snatch our women, and kill us Han people. ? They don't recognize these two words!"

Everyone who spoke these words gritted their teeth, filled with righteous indignation.

The young student asked angrily: "Could it be that no one can stop them? Are we going to lose this battle?"

This was also the question everyone wanted to ask. They looked at Xu Bai, expecting his answer.

Xu Bai's eyes darkened, and he shook his head slowly: "They gathered dozens of countries to march together. Although our soldiers are brave, they are no match for four hands!"

Everyone who said this was angry and aggrieved, but they couldn't refute it at all, because it was the truth.

The young student was full of anger, but after thinking about it, he suddenly asked with hope:
"By the way, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also on the front line? With him here, it may not be impossible to change the situation of the battle."

Hearing him mention Jia Jue, everyone was shocked. Jia Jue has a lofty status in their hearts, and he has created impossible miracles time and time again, which has already convinced them and admired him deeply.

A look of admiration also flashed across Xu Bai's eyes when he heard this. As a student of the Imperial College, how could he not know that Jia Jue, who is a senior, has made great achievements, and how could he not respect Jia Jue so much?

He closed his eyes slightly, then opened them slowly, still shaking his head:
"Your Highness is both civil and military, talented, and capable of what others can't. I also admire it very much. However, war is beyond the control of individuals, especially in the vast sea, where personal power has little impact on the battle situation. Moreover, His Highness's The personal guards are in Fusang right now, His Highness is probably powerless."

This is the conclusion he came to after deliberation. Jia Jue's personal ability is of course extremely strong, but no matter how strong he is, he is still only one person after all, and the role he can play is very limited. In the face of overwhelming strength, what he can really do not much.

The rest of the people let out a long sigh when they heard the words. What Xu Bai said was reasonable, they couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Only the young student shook his head and said: "If others can't do it, it doesn't mean His Highness can't do it. Your Highness is a god who came down to earth, so how can you use ordinary people's reasoning?"

Everyone looked at him when they heard the words, with a touch of surprise in their eyes.

Xu Bai shook his head and said softly:
"The child is silent and strange."

The saying that Jia Jue descended from a god was mostly believed by ordinary people, while most scholars laughed it off.

That's why everyone was so surprised when they looked at the young student.

"If you talk about other gods, I don't comment, but if you say that Your Highness is the reincarnation of a god, I firmly believe it!" The young student said seriously, he firmly believed that Jia Jue was a god who came down to earth.

Xu Bai smiled at him, and poured him a cup of tea: "Drink it quickly, and you will have to study it later."

He didn't think this issue needed to be discussed, so he changed the subject.

"Brother Xu, you don't believe me?" the young student couldn't help asking.

Xu Bai couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Do you have a way to make me believe you?"

The young student froze, but couldn't speak. How could he prove such a thing?

Seeing his embarrassment, Xu Bai smiled: "It's okay, this is also a good thing. You should follow His Highness as an example and work hard."

The young student was extremely depressed. He really thought Jia Jue was a god, but he couldn't convince Xu Bai.

Seeing his appearance, the Confucian scholars around him also smiled slightly.

Immortals are just legends after all.

bang bang bang!
At this moment, a series of gongs and drums sounded outside the teahouse, and then someone yelled:

"His Majesty the Crown Prince is mighty and mighty, and he has achieved a victory that has never been seen in eternity!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, His Royal Highness the crown prince is so powerful?

An unprecedented victory?
Is this telling a story?His Royal Highness has a new book?
The young student's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he rushed out quickly, but not long after, he dragged a person into the teahouse.

Everyone looked at him, but they were all taken aback, because this person was not the storyteller they expected, but a servant of Shuntian Mansion!

Could it be that this yamen servant actually helped the storyteller solicit customers?
"Young master, you called the little one, but something is wrong?" The yamen servant swept the crowd, and then asked the young student beside him.

"What did you just say? I didn't catch it clearly, so please try to explain it again." The young student said.

Hearing the words, the yamen servant immediately beamed with joy and said: "What the villain said just now is: Your Highness the Crown Prince is mighty and mighty, and he has achieved a victory that has never been seen in eternity!"

Hearing what he said, Xu Bai asked curiously:
"You are obviously a member of the public family, so why did you invite customers for the storyteller? Are you afraid that the adults will punish you if they find out?"

The yamen servant was stunned: "Young master, what do you mean by this? Why did the villain solicit customers for Mr. Storyteller?"

"What you said just now, the so-called 'supernatural power' and the 'great victory through the ages' are just storytelling?"

The yamen servant blinked and quickly explained:

"Young masters, you have wronged the young ones. Even if the young ones have eaten the heart and leopard courage, they dare not do such things when they are on duty. I want to teach you young masters that this argument is the government's Mr. Yin personally ordered that this is an official document of the imperial court, and it must be announced to the world."

what?
The official document of the imperial court to announce to the world?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, showing a look of shock.
