Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1237 Famous Gongsun
  Xiaoshengxianzhuang, the main entrance.

After seeing the last and most important guest, Prime Minister Li Si, get out of the car, the three heroes of Qi and Lu, led by the leader Fu Nian, all went up to greet him.

Behind them, the Confucian disciples standing neatly on the steps in two groups also made their postures more standardized and meticulous.

Li Si did not stand still and wait for people to come over and say hello. He also stepped forward to greet them in a leisurely manner. In the end, the two parties met not far in front of the first carriage.

The three heroes of Qi and Lu stood at the same time, clasped their hands and made a salute, "When a distinguished guest comes to the door, he has not come far to greet you. If the etiquette is not thoughtful, I hope the Prime Minister will forgive him."

Li Si immediately returned the greeting, "No, no, I'm here uninvited. I hope Mr. Fu Nian won't be surprised."

Normally, when Li Si, as Prime Minister, was visiting the Little Sage Village, Fu Nian and the other two people should not just wait at the gate to welcome guests.

For the head of the imperial civil service, this salary is a bit low.

But why did Li Si come unexpectedly without notifying him in advance? Otherwise, Cook Ding would not have received a temporary order, but would have known about it the day before.

In this case, Li Si was paying an informal visit, so he could naturally be more casual and receive him as an ordinary distinguished guest. It would be more than enough to open a front door and stand at the door to greet him.

Therefore, there are two sentences like this between Fu Nian and Li Si, which is equivalent to showing that everyone is rude and each takes a step back and pretends nothing happened.

Fu Nian looked directly at Li Si, but his peripheral vision glanced at the other "guests" gathering behind Li Si, and then said:

"Have friends come from afar!"

"Master Xiangguo Yuzun came to visit, and he also brought several other distinguished guests with him. The little sage's manor will be full of glory."

Listening to Fu Nian's words, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang behind him couldn't help but smile knowingly in their hearts at the same time, while Li Si's eyes flickered.

As a person from Little Sage Village, Li Si's unofficial visit to Little Sage Village was normal, and no one could fault it.

But he shouldn't have brought anyone else with him.

Since it was a private visit, he should be alone. As a student of Little Saint Xianzhuang, meeting his former brothers and sisters, as well as the elders of his sect, what was the point of bringing along a few irrelevant people?
  It was clear that the person who came was not a good person - this was also the reason why the previous Pao Ding Tao Zhi felt that the Confucian attitude towards this visit was not right.

They are really not welcome!
  What Fu Nian said seemed to others to be faultless, but Li Si knew in his heart that they were trying to tease him secretly!

Mr. Xiangguo was very generous and didn't care. The main reason was that he couldn't say anything back at this moment, so he only treated it as a polite word.

Li Si did not continue the greetings, but turned sideways and reached out towards the other 'guests' behind him.

Standing at the front is none other than the plump woman holding a silver mask, that is...

"Let me introduce you..." Li Si's gaze moved across a large arc from Fu Nian to the fat woman on his side and behind him, "...this person is the famous Mr. Gongsun."

Fu Nian and Yan Lu's hearts moved, and they immediately knew the specific identity of the other party.

The current top figure among famous scholars is Gongsun Linglong, known as the "sophist genius".

The two of them had heard of this man's name for a long time, but they had never actually come into contact with these small sage villages.

I didn't expect it to be a woman... although her figure seemed a bit stronger.

Zhang Liang's eyelids trembled at this moment.

With the support of Liusha Intelligence Network, he naturally has a deeper understanding of Gongsun Linglong than his two senior brothers.

To be honest, he was a little curious about the appearance that was highlighted in the intelligence, and also a little...awe-stricken.

However, Fu Nianyan and Lu were obviously completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

After all, they only see the figure so far. Although he is a little fatter and has exceeded the limit of obesity, it is not a big deal. She is a famous figure who earns her living by her skills. Besides, no one stipulates that all famous women must be beautiful.

On the canopy of a tree nearby, Cook Ding was also quite surprised and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that the heir to the Gongsun family would be a woman!"

Tao Zhi glanced at him as if he were a fool, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"Gongsun Linglong... this sounds like a woman!"

Cook Ding mumbled and retorted, "I've never seen her before, I've only heard of her, and no one specifically emphasized her gender. Of course I thought she was a man."

"As for the name...it's not like a man can't have this name!"

"Pao Ding" is not an unreasonable word. "Linglong" is not a word like "coquettish" and "charming". It is not reserved for women. It makes sense for a man to choose this name.

Robber Zhi didn't comment on this, just rolled his eyes.

"Never mind it, after all, famous people nowadays basically make a living by talking. She, an heir of some kind, can only be a good talker at best."

"Uh... that's true." Regarding Thief Zhi's disdain for famous people, Chef Ding was stunned for a moment and then readily agreed.

The famous masters of that time were really powerful. Hui Shi, the founder, was a great sage who could be compared with the Taoist sage Zhuang Zhou - don't get hung up on the issue of "Zi Fei Yu", it was just a joke between two good friends.

His successor, Gongsun Long, was a master of sophistry and was good at debating. He put forward the classic "white horse is not a horse theory" and "li Jianbai theory".

Although he is a bit too keen on sophistry, he can also be called a wise man, with unique and profound insights into the cognition of things.

However, due to his influence, the path of famous people went further and further. The disciples of the younger generation only remembered the sophistry skills, but the real core of famous people - the ability to conduct logical analysis and explore the laws of thinking was completely lost.

Relying on sophistry will only cause trouble at most, and it is impossible for people to truly recognize your knowledge, and naturally it will become less and less popular.

But at any rate, he is one of the hundred, and he still has three pounds of nails on the broken ship, so he still has some foundation.

In recent years, Gongsun Linglong has brought celebrities back to the limelight several times - relying on her special sophistry skills.

Because of this, he got the title of "sophist genius" and was considered to have "the style of his ancestors" - only including the sophistry part.

In other words, it still doesn't work.

Such an unpleasant character followed Li Si to the Confucian Little Sage Village today. It is difficult not to make people wonder if Mr. Xiangguo came with some bad intentions.

Fu Nian and others had expected this, so they didn't show any signs of surprise and looked at this famous master calmly.

Zhang Liang's attitude was particularly calm - apart from being a little... uneasy about the face under the mask - because he had long known that Gongsun Linglong would appear today.

Relying on Quicksand's intelligence, the empire was one-way transparent to him in most cases.

Although Li Si had taken certain confidentiality measures, he was a legalist and had no knowledge of the espionage industry, so he was naturally full of loopholes.

　Many of Gongsun Long's own views are very interesting. If you are interested, you can check the specific content of Baima Feima and Li Jianbai. They are not as shown in the animation.

　　However, I personally feel that Gongsun Long is indeed going further and further into the wrong direction. He is too keen on sophistry, and the arguments he puts forward are getting more and more weird.

　　Of course, this is just a personal opinion.

　　In any case, Gongsun Long is one of the two most famous sages.
