Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 211 Zhongqiu Apprenticeship
"Sir, sir, sir!"

Huan Chang was discussing with Zhongqiu when he suddenly heard Duanmu's voice.

Huan Chang couldn't help shaking his head inwardly as the shout contained boundless joy and unconcealable pride.

But Zhongqiu smiled slightly, and said to Huan Chang: "Young hero, please hide for a while."

Huan Chang didn't know why, but he didn't ask too much, his body flickered a few times, and then disappeared without a trace.

"gentlemen!"

Duanmu is holding a stone mortar, which is filled with clear water, but the tiger's tail is hidden in his bosom.

"Sir, please drink some water."

Duanmu Ci, who was all dirty, held the mortar in both hands and handed it over, then looked at Zhongqiu expectantly.

In order to attract Zhongqiu's attention, Duanmuci deliberately revealed his tattered clothes and scars on his arms.

Zhongqiu turned a blind eye to it.

After he took the mortar, he began to drink water without haste, appearing very intoxicated.

Duanmuci swayed back and forth in front of Zhongqiu.

Until Zhongqiu finished drinking the water, there was still no reaction, which made Duanmuci a little anxious.

"Sir, don't you want to say something when you see me like this?"

In the end, Duanmuci still couldn't bear it, and said to Zhongqiu.

Zhongqiu put down the mortar slowly, glanced at Duanmuci, and said: "Looking at your desperation, you must have encountered some kind of beast just now."

When Duanmuci heard the words, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes."

"I met a tiger just now, but the tiger in front of me is nothing, I beat it to death with three punches and two kicks!"

Speaking of this, Duanmuci was a little proud.

He looked at Zhongqiu expectantly, hoping to get Zhongqiu's compliment, but it ended in disappointment.

Duanmuci's face collapsed, and he asked: "I heard from my husband before that the sergeant has the ability to know the world."

"If the sergeant encounters a fierce tiger, how will he behave?"

Glancing at Duanmuci, Zhongqiu said unhurriedly: "The sergeant is very courageous. If he encounters a fierce tiger, he will definitely go up to him, grab the tiger's head and beat him to death."

When Duanmu heard this, his face collapsed.

He thought that if he killed this fierce tiger, he could at least be called a sergeant, but he felt that he was still a little short.

"I am still young, and there is still room for improvement in the future."

Thinking of this, Duanmu cheered up again.

He asked expectantly: "If the sergeant encounters a fierce tiger, how will he react?"

Duanmu thought to himself, even if he is not a sergeant, he is at least a sergeant, and he is not too far away from a sergeant.

Zhongqiu still said unhurriedly: "Although a sergeant doesn't have the guts of a sergeant, he doesn't feel afraid. He will grab a tiger by the ear and beat him to death."

When Duanmu heard this, he felt a little unhappy.

He had already heard what Zhongqiu meant, that is, both the sergeant and the sergeant were courageous.

Thinking of the fear in his heart when he met the tiger at the beginning, he couldn't help but blushed.

"So, what will happen to the corporal when he meets a tiger?"

After struggling for a long time, Duanmu finally couldn't hold back, and asked Zhongqiu his doubts.

Duanmu also wanted to know if he was a corporal.

Glancing at Duanmu, Zhongqiu cleared his throat: "If a corporal encounters a fierce tiger, he must be terrified and terrified."

"Only when you are sure that the tiger can't kill you, and then grab the tiger's tail in embarrassment, can you dare to fight the tiger."

Duanmu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then became angry from embarrassment.

He took out the tiger's tail from his pocket and threw it hard on the ground.

Duanmu resentfully said: "Sir, knowing that there is a tiger beside the stream, he actually asked me to fetch water. Is it because he intends to kill me?"

No wonder Duanmu would have such speculation.

Just now he didn't tell Zhongqiu his experience of fighting a tiger, but Zhongqiu told the story through the way of a corporal fighting a tiger.

This is not only humiliating Duanmu.

From Duanmu's point of view, Zhongqiu wanted to kill himself.

Zhongqiu didn't answer Duanmu's words, instead he stood up, took a few steps forward, and stretched himself.

Seeing this, Duanmu felt more resentment in his heart.

Taking advantage of Zhongqiu not paying attention, he quietly picked up the mortar on the ground and hid it in his bosom.

"This guy not only deliberately humiliated me, but also wanted to use the tiger to kill me, so I can't keep him!"

"I hid the mortar in my arms, and when he wasn't paying attention, I smashed it hard on his head with the mortar. This guy's brain will definitely burst."

Thinking of this, Duanmu immediately showed a fierce look, and wanted to smash Zhongqiu to death with his hands.

At this moment, Zhongqiu turned his body around and looked at Duanmu quietly with his eyes, as deep as the dark night sky.

Being watched by Zhongqiu like this, even though he knew that the other party didn't know martial arts, Duanmu still felt hairy in his heart.

Duanmu stabilized his mind and restrained the fierce light in his eyes.

He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and asked again: "Dare to ask, sir, if the sergeant wants to kill someone, what method will he use?"

Zhongqiu was taken aback for a moment, and then there was an indiscernible look of disappointment in his eyes.

"The tip of a sergeant's murder pen."

Duanmu frowned, not knowing what it meant.

Zhongqiu explained: "The sergeant is full of talent, holds power, and has a high position and authority. He can determine the rise and fall of a country."

"If they want to kill people, they don't need to do it themselves. They just need to write it on paper with pen and ink, and make it known to the world with words, and they can put people to death."

It was only then that Duanmu suddenly realized that he also had a strong envy for the demeanor of those sergeants that Zhongqiu said.

Duanmu's anger subsided slightly, but he still wanted to kill Zhongqiu, and continued to ask: "Then how should the sergeant kill someone?"

Zhongqiu replied slowly: "The sergeant kills with the tip of his tongue."

"The human tongue is soft. It can say that the square is round, and the round is flat. Many words make gold, and it can kill people without blood."

Duanmu continued to ask with ulterior motives: "Then how should the corporal kill people?"

When he said this, Duanmu involuntarily put his hands in his arms, and there was an indiscernible sternness in his eyes.

Duanmu has decided that after Zhongqiu finished answering, he will be crushed to death with a mortar.

Zhongqiu looked at Duanmu and said with a half-smile: "Corporal kills people, he only dares to hide the mortar in his bosom, and then smashes him to death while no one is paying attention."

Duanmu's face changed drastically at first, and then he was stunned on the spot.

As if he had figured something out, he took out the mortar in his arms and threw it on the ground.

"It turns out that if you really can see everything, sir, you already knew that I had evil thoughts!"

Duanmu knelt down on the ground, kowtowed several times to Zhongqiu, and said: "I have evil thoughts in my heart, I am a big treason, I hope you will punish me!"

But Zhongqiu chuckled a few times, stepped forward to help Duanmu up, patted off the vegetation and soil debris on Duanmu's body, and arranged his clothes for Duanmu.

Zhongqiu said: "If you want to achieve great achievements, you must be humble and polite. You can't start to be complacent and forget yourself just because of a little achievement."

"It is indeed something to boast about that you can kill a tiger, but it is not the reason for you to boast. Do you understand what I mean?"

Duanmu nodded heavily, and said: "Thank you for your teaching, sir, the students already know it!"

Huan Chang, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help being amazed when he saw Zhongqiu teaching Duanmu like this.
