Lin Wenruo narrowed his eyes and did not tell all the reasons why the candidate was leaked. The matter has reached this point, and it is useless to say more. Moreover, the matter is extremely tortuous, with various coincidences and inevitabilities interspersed in it. The bloody storm inside cannot be explained in a few words.

clearly.

For now, just take care of the present and ensure that the details of this time's candidates are not leaked before the debate.

Lin Wenruo looked at Zhao Rong again. "We were already in a hurry. Now there are only ten days left, but there is still a shortage of candidates..."

Zhao Rong understood clearly and knew the cause and effect, but he did not accept Lin Wenruo's words at this moment, but continued: "What is the price? What is the price of this debate between Confucianism and Taoism?"

Lin Wenruo said slowly: "This is a bet. The winner takes everything on the table. Chongxuguan bets on their position as the state religion. If they lose, the Taoist priests will never be able to interfere in the affairs of the Zhongnan Kingdom. Taibai

All the Taoist temple land at the foot of the mountain must also be handed over to the Lanxi Lin family."

"The weights on the gambling table can be added as long as both parties agree."

Zhao Rong tilted his head and suddenly asked another question: "Why should Chongxuguan bet with you? Ignore you. If you don't move like a mountain, wouldn't you be in an invincible position?"

Lin Wenruo's lips curled up. "Because I convinced the monarch. Everyone thought that I forced the monarch during the spring sacrifice before deciding on the debate on Confucianism and Taoism. Little did they know that the monarch had actually tolerated the situation for a long time. He was just afraid of it.

The power is great, but I just handed the monarch a knife, that is, I, Lin Qingchi, and the Lin family of Lanxi behind me."

"The dispute between Confucianism and Taoism is the best outcome that the monarch and I can strive for!"

Zhao Rong rubbed his eyes. Although he was only in the Golden Stone Stage of the Heaven Realm, his physique was already slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. The words he just said made him sober, so he slowly recovered at this moment and stopped talking.

What drinking talk. "It's too risky."

Zhao Rong let out a breath and asked curiously: "How did you convince the monarch? How come I heard that the monarch is fond of alchemy, is very close to Chongxu Guan, and is even a registered Taoist priest of Chongxu Guan?"

"First of all, he was a king before a Taoist priest. Although I learned the art of slaying dragons, reforming the country to strengthen the country and enrich the people will be more beneficial to him as a king. Even if his imperial power is limited by me, but a hundred years later, I, Lin Wenruo, will

Even though he is gone, this country and country that have been revitalized by the new legal reform will still be passed down to his descendants, and it will still belong to his Zhu family. So regarding Zhongnan Kingdom, his and I have the same interests."

"Secondly, he is refining elixirs and cultivating Taoism just to seek immortality. Oh, it is just cultivation. What Qingjingzi can give him, I, Lin Qingchi, can also give."

Zhao Rong frowned and said: "You know that the kings at the foot of the mountain are not allowed to enter Haoran, not only because it is written into the "Xuan Emperor Law", but also because the king is backlashed by the dragon's energy and is naturally in conflict with the spiritual energy and cannot attract the spiritual energy into the body. You

How can I help him risk the world's disapproval to find immortality?"

Lin Wenruo smiled softly. "I just gave him a promise like Qingjingzi. He actually knew that it was impossible, but how can a mortal resist the temptation of immortality. Sometimes people only need an excuse and thoughts in life.

I can give him these at will. Besides, Confucian scholars don’t understand Haoran Realm much better than Taoist priests? Do you think I give him greater hope, or do Taoist priests give him greater hope?”

"In the end, even if we lose the battle between Confucianism and Taoism, it will not have much impact on him. He is still the king of Zhongnan. At most, he will never be able to raise his head in front of Chongxu Guan in the future. And these are different from Chongxu Guan.

Compared to a future where the mountain above his head is moved away, he probably doesn’t need me to teach him which one to choose.”

Zhao Rong was silent, staring into his eyes and saying word by word: "You haven't said yet, what will happen if you lose, what is the weight you put on the gambling table?"

Lin Wenruo slightly avoided the gaze of the Confucian scholar in front of him. "It's nothing. It's just that the Lin family of Lanxi moved out of Zhongnan Kingdom. Ziyu doesn't have to bear too much burden."

Lin Wenruo looked at Zhao Rong again. "Zhao Ziyu, you don't have to feel any guilt. If you can stay and help me, Qing Chi will be grateful; but if you choose to leave, Qing Chi will have no complaints."

Lin Wenruo raised his glass and suddenly smiled confidently. "Besides, who am I, Lin Qingchi, I still have some back-ups. Even without Tzuyu, I think I have a great chance of winning."

Zhao Rong did not speak, but lowered his eyes slightly, silently looking at the Confucian scholar in front of him with a bright smile but lonely eyes, and asked the last question of the night, which may also be the last question of this life for the two of them.

question.

"Is it worth it?"

Lin Wenruo was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed. "If there is a way in Zhongnan, Wenruo will not agree with Yi!"

The happy man toasted to invite you.

"It has nothing to do with this matter. If you don't live up to the bright moon, I will pour the cup myself. You can do whatever you want."
