Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 144 Wei Zhuang
Quicksand has always had a special status in Zhang Liang's mind.

The laws of heaven and earth are not slack in execution.

Use tricks to know traitors, and punish them with punishment!
He witnessed with his own eyes how this organization that intended to change the entire South Korea was established with great enthusiasm, became famous, suffered setbacks, and finally transformed into a completely different image with the collapse of South Korea.

Zhang Liangzhong regretted it, but also understood that he was unable to change this situation now.In this era, everyone must learn a new way of survival.

Before the world changes, keeping yourself alive is more important than anything else.

Although Liusha is also actively seeking changes, their method is to kill people.But Zhang Liang had other plans.

He is now the new head disciple of Confucianism who is about to take office.

In this identity, Zhang Liang can devote himself to studying and improving his abilities while also taking the initiative to make friends with other scholars.

The desire to restore the country has become an obsession in the subconscious of this young man who has a tradition of being a minister of Korea for five generations.

He knew that there were many people who were dissatisfied with Qin.

These forces that will be called "rebels" will be extremely weak if they exist alone in a certain place. But as long as these little forces can be connected with each other, they will gather into a tower, and in a sense, they will exert the invisible effect of "gathering and dispersing quicksand". strength
This will be a long-term persistence of ten, 20 years or even longer, and Zhang Liang has already been mentally prepared for this.

Farmer Lu Wei can be a key node in his own plan.

Population is a very important and indispensable strategic resource. Only farmers among hundreds of families can provide tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

"My understanding of this Lu Wei is not as deep as his understanding of me. Farmer, I need to make up for my mistakes."

Walking on the trail back to Xiaoshengxian Village, Zhang Liang did not meet Hall Master Lu again this time.
Confucianism's ability to explore the outside world is relatively weak. The disciples are immersed in the small sage's village and study the classics. When they go out, they can only wander around Songhai City.

Wanting to understand the current situation in the farmhouse, Zhang Liang's first target is his senior brother Fu Nian.

As the soon-to-be-taken over Confucian leader, Fu Nian is very busy these days, but for the 'third junior brother' who is dedicated, he can always find free opportunities.

"Senior Brother, you have worked hard these days."

Another glorious dusk, Zhang Liang and Fu Nian were sitting in Ruyishui Pavilion, playing a game on the square chessboard in front of them.

For example, the word "Ruyi" in Yishuiting is taken from "The Analects of Confucius Xiangdang No. [-]", which describes the kindness of friends.

Every pavilion in Little Sage's Manor, and even the gorgeous gardening works, are named after famous lines from literary classics.In this way, Confucian disciples can feel the wisdom of the sages wherever they go in the village.

In this way, you should be alert to your own knowledge and continue to work hard.

"It's hard to do things that are within the scope of one's responsibilities."

Fu Nian straightened his back in the most upright posture, gently picked up a white piece with his inner strength, and dropped it onto the chessboard.

"What the senior brother said is true." Zhang Liang also twirled a piece of rice and dropped it close to the white child, and then frankly stated his purpose: "I am nagging the senior brother today because I want to ask about the farmer's affairs."

"Farmers sow a hundred grains and encourage mulberry cultivation to provide enough food and clothing for the people. This is what they are good at. What is there to ask about?"

Fu Nian looked at the regular chessboard situation and added another word: "Zifang is here for Lu Wei."

"Yes", Zhang Liang smiled: "Lu Wei has been a popular figure in the farm family in recent years. There are even rumors that this person is almost certain to be the next leader of the farm family."

"The identity of the current peasant hero is so well hidden that most people in the world don't know his name and appearance. Faced with the exposure of the next hero, Liang is very interested."

"Inherited the inheritance of the farmhouse, there are arranges inside the farmer, how can you believe in rumors!" Fu Nian shook his head unwillingly. The principles in the classroom are equally applicable in the arena:

"However, this person has become the leader of Gonggongtang in a few years. He has tens of thousands of people under his command, and he can lead the Gonggongtang, which is at the bottom, and now has the potential to be the No. [-] farm hall. His methods are indeed extraordinary."

When the conversation changed, Fu Nian also boasted to the Hall Master: "Yesterday, Hall Master Lu also asked Li Shiqi to send a gift to Little Saint Xian Manor. After I checked it, I was very surprised."

"If Zifang is interested, you might as well go to the Library Pavilion and take a look."

"A gift that can make even senior brother amazed must be a treasure~"

Zhang Liang dropped a stone, ate a few white stones, and took them away: "Liang will go and have a look later."

"Well, my Confucian school has not had contact with other schools of thought for many years. Hall Master Lu Wei is here this time." Fu Nian also dropped a word and ate a few sunspots on the other side:
"Although scholars and peasants occasionally have differences in their moral traditions, they can still get along with each other on the whole. Since the two families live in the same land of Qilu, it is not good to have grudges."

"The Master once said: 'Vulgar people lead farmers and want to make monarchs and ministers work together, violating the order of superiors and subordinates.' He refuted the farmers greatly."

"Today's farmers stay away from the court and work peacefully, which shows that they have followed the teachings of the saints."

"The next time Zifang meets Hall Master Lu Wei, please choose one or two gifts from the treasury to give back."

"Follow the orders of the elder brother."

Zhang Liang got what he wanted and accepted the order with a smile.

'Li Shiqi is the direct way to understand Lu Wei. '

'Confucian peasants are now far away from the court. From a practical point of view, they are very worth making friends with. '

While Fu Nian was discussing the chess game with Zhang Liangshou, Lu Wei came to Xiaoshengxian Manor again and had a pleasant chat with their junior brother, Yan Lu, on the lake bridge.

"The two of them are living well at the farmhouse."

"Xiao Yan'er is seven years old. He spends all day playing with fish and shrimp in the mountains behind the farmhouse. His childhood is very happy now." The master of the hall said calmly while looking at the fish swimming in the lake with his hands behind his back.

"That's it." Yan Lu felt that his expression didn't seem to be fake, and nodded gently: "I separated from them when I was young, and after I came to the Little Saint's Manor to study, I never knew where my old friend was."

"It turns out that Hall Master Lu took them in."

Yan Lu's first master was an unknown knight who was once hunted down by Jing Salamander who was still in the net.

In the middle of the journey, Wuming realized that Jingli was pregnant, and successfully persuaded her to escape from the trap.Later, he was willing to die on his own initiative, temporarily exchanging his own life for the lives of his disciple Lu and his mother and daughter.

As a result, the young 'Lu' and Jing Salaman went through a period of escape together, until they joined the Confucian school and became Yan Lu.

All in all, Lu Ni and Ji Yan were the only old friends of the future Confucian 'Second Master'.

This once-brief connection has experienced the passage of time, and it may not be very important at this time, but after recalling it, both parties will not refuse to help one or two.

Lu Wei brought news about the two of them to Yan Lu, which made the latter naturally have a good impression of him even though he didn't dislike the farmer at all.

"It was also a coincidence. I was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time." Lu Wei seemed to be immersed in memories along with Yan Lu: "I was a little bit powerful in the peasant family. I saw her coming to Daze Mountain with her child in her arms. The child in my arms is weak.”

"It happened that a senior doctor was making a diagnosis for the peasant disciples, so he took them to the doctor's residence, and they later stayed."

"I see, Hall Master Lu really has a good heart."

Deep down in his heart, Yan Lu had very limited trust in these words, but he expected that there might be some minor incidents that were left unsaid, and the overall situation should be about the same.

After all, he knew the strength of Jing Salamander very well.As for Lu Wei, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, if the former is not willing, Lu Wei will definitely not be able to prevent them from leaving.

"The hall master was led by my junior brother to visit the Little Saint's Manor yesterday. Is there anything else you want to see again today?"

"No." Looking up at the golden color of the sky, Lu Wei firmly grasped the horizontal line: "Today I just came to check for them whether their old friend is okay."

"It's already late. I know there are evening classes at Little Saint Xian Manor, so I won't disturb you."

Farewell to Yan Lu, the master of the hall walked leisurely on the steps, descending the mountain at a faster pace than the fading sunlight.

He spent two days communicating with Yan Lu and Zhang Liang.

Fu Nian must have seen the "Picture of Confucius' Observation Instrument" sent by Li Shiqi.With his wisdom, he would not fail to understand the importance of the material of that painting to Confucianism.

In the next few days, I just need to walk around Songhai City with peace of mind. I expect someone will come to see me.

After all, the sunshine was not as fast as Lu Wei, and the darkness was left far behind him.

But he never expected that the cunning Sun, seeing that he was going to lose, immediately arranged a blocker halfway up the mountain.
'Shark teeth are never picky eaters.'

Thinking of these words silently in his heart, the Lord Hall Master was ready to hold the hilt of the Swallowing Sea Sword on his waist at any time, and his eyes met the long-haired Wei Zhuang standing in front of him.

This was an accident outside Lu Wei's plan
"I can tell from your eyes that you recognize me."

The white hair hanging down on his chest was blowing in the sea breeze, and Wei Zhuang's voice was full of scrutiny.

"No knight in the world would dare not recognize the appearance of the master of Quicksand."

The master of the hall kept looking at each other without looking away. This was a dangerous move.

"That sword is very unusual." Wei Zhuang saw the Swallowing Sea Sword: "Yesterday, after the sword master Feng Huzi evaluated Tai'a Sword, he showed great interest in the rare sword among everyone present."

"This incident has been spread throughout Songhai City. It is said that the owner of the sword is Lu Wei, the leader of the farmer's Gonggong Hall."

"Coincidentally, I just heard this name from a friend of mine recently."

"And you" Wei Zhuang slowly pulled out the shark teeth, and the fiery red sword energy was brighter than the afterglow of the sun from the beginning: "We met on the bridge in Songhai City yesterday, didn't we?"

They met on the bridge yesterday. Although they did not face each other, Wei Zhuang could remember all the passers-by around him for a period of time.

Combined with the words that suddenly came up during the conversation with Zhang Liang, he had reason to suspect that the leader of Gonggong Hall was following Liusha.

"The target I want to target is not me."

Lu Wei stretched out his hand in front of his chest and sucked the Sea Swallowing Sword out of thin air: "If you take this step forward, today's Quicksand Project mission will fail."

"It doesn't matter." As soon as Wei Zhuang said this, he jumped forward and slashed vertically.

The master of the hall turned his sword and blocked it in front of him. After anticipating it, he blocked the blow abruptly.

The two swords intersected, and the red and blue sword energy immediately divided the not-so-wide mountain road into two colors:
"The famous Master of Gonggong Hall is worthy of letting Liusha fail once!"

"Really~" Lu Wei pushed his wrist muscles and used force to knock back the shark's teeth.

Wei Zhuang took the move and deflected to the outside of him, turned over and swung horizontally, but once again, Tun Hai predicted in advance and stopped the shark's tooth trajectory: "Then it is within your acceptance to bear a small price."

The master of the hall kicked off his feet and took the initiative to push the quicksand master who came to the edge of the cliff and took advantage of the narrow space to cross the mountain road!
The two of them had no solid footing, but they were still fighting each other with swords on the cliff. The clanging sound of boiling metal was almost completely covered up by the boundless waves of the sea.

If they continue at this rate, they will be beaten to death on the beach by the endless force of nature if they do not respond at a height of over a hundred meters.
Guigu Hengjian is skilled in craftsmanship!The time to fall from the top of the high cliff to the sea was very limited. Wei Zhuang knew that the battle would be over when he fell to the bottom, so he decisively used 'Across the Four Directions'!
Lu Wei's response to this was the fourth form of the Whale Drinking Sword Technique, "Hundred Rivers Enter the Sea"!
Traversing the four directions seems simple and complex, and hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea seem to be complex. The moment the two moves intersect, the winner of the sword-qi battle has been decided in advance.
