Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 142 Zhang Liang’s room
"Duan Ning Shen Xiong, great skill but no workmanship."

In the reception hall of Little Saint Xian Manor, between two rows of gorgeously dressed guests, an old man in gray was stroking a broad sword with his palm as rough as an old tree root, and he was full of admiration:

"It is worthy of being a majestic sword jointly created by Master Ou Yezi and Master Ganjiang. The sword does not exist but the sword energy already exists between heaven and earth."

The old man performed a set of ancient sword techniques with agility that did not match his appearance, which amazed everyone present.

Even though some people in the crowd could not understand the power of this slow sword technique, as long as they thought that it was Master Fengbeard wielding the Tai'a sword, they knew that it must be an extraordinary sword move.

At the final moment of sheathing his sword, Feng Beard threw his sword away. Tai'a was solemnly received by the majestic man opposite him, holding the sword in a bow:
"Master Fengbeard's sword moves have deeply inspired the swordsmanship of the Holy King."

This person is Fu Nian.The soon-to-be-successor Confucian head was wearing a green and tan dress. He looked elegant and extraordinary, and his every move showed the righteousness of a famous family.

Under his long and low eyebrows, there are a pair of firm and stern eyes.

Lu Wei, who came here later and mingled with the crowd, had seen this look on Yan Dan's face before.But the difference from Yan Dan is that the prince of Yan has too many things to worry about, and there are inevitably some worries and calculations hidden in his brows.

On Fu Nian's face, the hall master did not see the pride that Li Shiqi mentioned. This may require more detailed contact to discover.Now Fu Nian gives people a feeling of awe-inspiring aura and confidence.

Among the leaders of the major sects, Lu Wei had seen Tian Guang, Six-fingered Black Man, or Yan Dan.These three people also have their own characteristics, but in terms of appearance alone, this Fu Nian is the most upright.

I am afraid that only in front of the next leader of the farm family will I be pushed to second place~

"For a majestic sword, only the inner might of the person holding the sword can inspire the power of the sword."

"Tai'a Sword ranks among the top ten in my sword manual."

In Feng Beard's eyes, Fu Nian and Tai'a are swordsmen and swordsmen who promote each other. This is undoubtedly a great bonus when arranging scores by yourself.

Gua, the onlookers made a noise when they heard this, but when they thought about it carefully, they were not surprised: the Tai'a Sword united the three elements of time, place, people and people when it was released, which amazed the world.Now being held by Fu Nian, the head of Confucianism, it is natural to enter the top ten ranks of any sword manual.

However, Master Fengbeard has been traveling around the world for many years and has evaluated more than a thousand swords. Today is the first time he has bluntly stated that a sword can definitely be ranked among the top ten in his sword manual.

No longer paying attention to these noisy guests, some of the rangers held their swords and were about to move, but with Tai'a Jianzhuyu in front, no one in this lobby really came out to embarrass themselves without thinking.

Because Feng Beard would really yell at Fan Jian who didn't meet his standards.

This old man's temperament is fair to the sword he likes, but he will also grant it to the swordsman who doesn't know it and just wants to be famous. However, the name of success is often not the name those swordsmen want.
"Master, please leave."

Fu Nian accompanied Feng Beard by his side.The Tai'a Sword has been selected, but there is still some time before the succession ceremony of the Confucian leader.He had already arranged a residence in the Little Sage Manor for Master Fengbeard, so it was time to send him there in person.

The pillars of the Confucian hall were all inlaid with bright gold bars with passages from Confucian classics. When the two of them walked to the pillar that said, "I will examine myself three times every day," Feng Beard suddenly stopped and looked at the handsome young man beside the pillar, his eyes wide. Big bright.

As one of the two protagonists in the entire hall, Feng Beard's actions naturally attracted the attention of the other protagonist Fu Nian and all the guests:
Everyone followed and focused their attention on Lu Wei.

Staring at the dark blue simple hilt of the sword on Lu Wei's waist, Feng Beard half-turned around and walked quickly to the hall master:

"I wonder which sect you are a disciple of?"

Feng Beard actually took the initiative to bow and asked in a very polite tone.

Lu Wei was not in the mood to observe the reactions of the guests and Fu Nian. He responded with a faint smile and said politely: "I am a farmer's disciple, Lu Wei."

"Lu Wei!" Fu Nian, who was waiting aside, thought.

The guests present may not be very familiar with this name. After all, if you don't pay special attention to it, with the speed of news spreading in the world, a lot of information will not be able to spread widely.

Songhai City is located in Qidi, and most of the guests here are from Qidi.Although farmers have a great influence in Qi land, for elegant people who are well-informed and polite, they are unlikely to have much to do with farming.

Fu Nian is different. He is about to become the head of Confucianism. He has an in-depth understanding of hundreds of schools of thought, including many small sects, so he naturally knows the name of this new farmer's name 'Lu Wei'.

Although I don’t know much about him, the status of the master of the Farmer’s Gonggong Hall is no longer at the level of an ordinary guest and requires more attention to the reception.

Feng Beard walked south and north, but he was the one who knew the most about what Lu Wei had done personally among all the people present:
"It turns out to be Hall Master Lu. I didn't expect that Hall Master Lu, in addition to doing great good deeds, also has a unique mastery of the sword."

The old man's eyes repeatedly switched back and forth between Lu Wei and Swallowing Sea Sword:

"Farmers have many righteous people. After Songhai and his party, I also want to visit Daze Mountain."

After hearing this, the master of the hall decisively agreed: "The farm disciples will wholeheartedly welcome you!"

"Thank you!" Feng Beard suppressed his impatience, glanced at Tunhaijian a few more times, turned back to Fu Nian, and continued walking out.

Fu Nian nodded to Lu Wei from afar, and then glanced at the Confucian disciple who was paying attention not far away, and the latter ran away.

After the two protagonists left the hall, Lu Wei, who was reduced to the third protagonist at the last moment, became the meat and potatoes.

Because of Feng Beard's recognition and the phrase "Lord Master Lu", anyone who knew the organizational structure of the farm immediately understood Lu Wei's identity.

Those elegant people who spend most of their time immersed in books are also willing to come forward and exchange a word or two with the respectful people with windbeards and exchange names.

The master of the hall will not reject anyone who comes.Multiple friends and multiple paths, maybe there are powerful characters among these people who he can win over as subordinates or can use in the future~

"Two masters, master has accompanied Master Fengbeard to Haiya Pavilion. There is an important guest in the reception room, and he needs to be received by master."

The disciples who were prompted by Fu Nian's eyes found Yan Lu and Zhang Liang, reported to them the sword watching process, and then made Fu Nian's request. "Well, I understand, I'll go."

Yan Lu put the scroll in his hand into Zhang Liang's arms, took a step forward, and said in a gentle voice, "Which sect is this distinguished guest from?"

"It's Lu Wei, the master of Gonggong Hall in the farmhouse."

Yan Lu and his disciple were walking in the corridor one behind the other. Behind him, Zhang Liangben was holding the Lingxu Sword in one hand and the scroll in the other hand and was about to walk in the opposite direction. When he heard the conversation behind him, he raised his eyes and shouted loudly:
"Senior brother, I will receive this person!"

"Oh?" Yan Lu, who was stopped, turned around and saw his junior brother throwing the sword and the scroll over. He hurriedly held them in his arms with curiosity in his eyes.

"Senior brother", Zhang Liang walked past him, smiled and patted Yan Lu's shoulder gently: "Although the lower-level disciples of the Confucian and Nong families occasionally interact with each other, the upper-level disciples always keep in touch with each other."

"Senior brother reads the books of sages, so I don't know much about farmers. I'm here to share your worries for this reception~"

"I actually know a little bit about farmer Lu Wei."

Watching his junior brother and the disciple who came to report the news go away, Yan Lu whispered, then shook his head and turned around with a smile.

Since junior brother wants it, just give it to him.
After staying in the hall for more than half an hour, Lu Wei just walked out of the main door accompanied by several guests who wanted to get closer, and saw a handsome young man walking towards him:
"Have friends come from afar."

The visitor was dressed in a green robe, with long hair tied back. His eyes were filled with deep meaning, and he held his hands in his hands: "My Confucian Zhang Liang has been ordered by Senior Brother Fu Nian to come and greet the distinguished guests."

"Hall Master Lu, would you like to take a look at the scenery of Little Saint's Manor?"

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang Liang." The master of the hall also handed over his hand: "It is said that Xiaoshengxian Manor is a beautiful sight in Qilu. I have admired it for a long time."

The other guests around him all excused themselves sensibly, leaving space for the two of them.

"So, Liang came at the right time ~ please."

Zhang Liang, with a gentle face, led Lu Wei along the long flat bridge on the east side towards the backyard of Xiaoshengxian Manor.

The handrails of the finest golden sandalwood and the embellishment of white jade ashlar make this wide wooden bridge in the lake a scenery in itself.

The occasional golden-red swimming fish jumps up on the lake, and the splashing sound is very interesting.

The two walked along, and Zhang Liang also introduced the flowers, plants and trees within sight along the way.

"That pavilion is the Six Arts Hall."

"The six arts of a gentleman are: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics."

"Confucianism has always been committed to Taoism, based on virtue, based on benevolence, and based on art. The six arts are skills that every Confucian disciple must learn."

"The wisdom of Confucius is really extraordinary." Lu Wei responded enthusiastically: "The flow of farmers is the official position of farming, sowing hundreds of grains, encouraging mulberry cultivation, and enough food and clothing."

"It is indeed not as comfortable as Confucianism."

"Master Lu, why should you be too self-effacing?" Zhang Liang shook his head: "If a husband doesn't plow the fields in his prime, there will be people in the world who suffer from hunger; if a woman doesn't weave, there will be people in the world who will suffer from cold."

"Farmers work hard and are truly the best in the world!"

By using Zhang Liang's mouth to say what he wanted to say, the master of the hall achieved his goal and said with a smile: "Wei has learned what Zifang said."

Zhang Liang was somewhat aware of Lu Wei's change of words that he had never told him, but his expression was calm and he continued to lead the hall master around the village calmly.

"This is the 'Guan Ran Tower', a place where Confucian disciples cultivate their minds."

"This is the 'Mingrun Hall', where students study by themselves."

"Wen Dao Academy is a place where we can preach, learn karma, and resolve doubts."

The two of them walked through the entire Little Saint Xian Manor. At the end, they circled around and returned to the outside of the hall:
"In Confucianism, the land is narrow and there are few people. It can be completed in one day. It is said that Daze Mountain can accommodate one hundred thousand peasant disciples. It seems to be a grand scene."

"Zifang is joking. The poor people in Daze Mountain cannot compare to this elegant place." Lu Wei smiled happily: "If Zifang goes to Daze Mountain to visit, I will personally explain the six farmhouses to Zifang."

"That's it, it's settled~" Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes and agreed: "When I go out to travel, I will definitely visit Hall Master Lu."

They only talked about elegant things today and did not touch on other miscellaneous matters at all.But they could all clearly sense from some of the words they chatted that they had some thoughts about the country to the west.
"The ovary stays."

At dusk, at the side entrance of Xiaoshengxian Villa, Lu Wei said goodbye with his hands in hand.Zhang Liang watched until his back disappeared, then turned back.

'Farmers can become allies! '

When Hall Master Lu returned to the inn in Songhai City, Li Shiqi had already ordered a meal on the first floor.

The two separated after entering the Little Saint's Manor. Li Shiqi went to reminisce with old friends, while Lu Wei wandered to the hall to watch Feng Beard's sword review, and that's what happened next.

The old man broke his intention of being polite as an ordinary guest, but it didn't matter.Today's first meeting with Zhang Liang was quite fruitful.

"Hall Master, I have found out the news about Fu Nian's two junior brothers."

Li Shiqi didn't know that Lu Wei had met with Zhang Liang, so he only explained in detail based on the information he had found out.
