Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1253 Desperate scumbag

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

In the end, Songhai City, which was experiencing surging undercurrents, maintained a calm appearance. Except for the increasing number and frequency of soldiers patrolling the streets, the people did not feel anything unusual.

Thanks to the fact that the empire transferred the best elites this time, the soldiers' military discipline was acceptable, and Meng Tian was strict in running the army. Although these soldiers patrolled every day, they could barely do anything to the common people.

After being on tenterhooks for a while, the people gradually got used to it.

Life has to go on as usual, but there are just a few more checks every day.

There is only one exception.

There is an innkeeper, the famous chef Cook Ding - I don’t know how many generations of cook Ding.

His life was very hard.

Of course, in the eyes of the surrounding neighbors, Boss Ding's life was very comfortable, because the big soldiers did not check him, and even the leading officers such as the squad leader had to smile pleasantly when they saw him.

They weren't surprised either. Boss Ding's cooking skills were so good and he was close to the scholars at Little Sage Village on the mountain. He must have been taken care of by important people. It was normal for him to receive some special treatment.

Only Cook Ding himself didn't think his special treatment was any good.

Obviously, Gu Xun fulfilled his promise and really asked the people below to take care of Youjian Inn.

This also caused the cook Ding to be frightened during this period... and the rogue foot.

Gao Jianli and the others left Songhai City after that day, hid in a hidden stronghold on the outskirts, and never entered the city again.

Unless there is a necessary reason, they will not enter the city again.

Only Thief Zhi can still move freely, traveling frequently inside and outside the city, responsible for both inquiring about news and delivering news.

Of course, in half a month, he didn't get any valuable information, probably -

There was a group of strange people hiding in the city, and they were almost certain not to deal with the empire, but he couldn't be sure which sect they were from... This surprised Thieves Zhi. There was a reaction he couldn't figure out. Qin's power.

However, he had to admit that that group of people was indeed quite strange, and they did not look like people from the Central Plains.

To him, this was just a small incident. He had seen it once accidentally, and he had no intention of continuing to pursue it after that.

The saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend does not always hold true, and the Mohists are not willing to be close to all anti-Qin forces.

When Yan Dan held an anti-Qin meeting, there were a large number of people who had only a mediocre relationship with the Mohist family.

At that time, it was considered that due to the general situation, everyone could not come together to cooperate, but it did not mean that there would be further contact in private.

In addition, another discovery made by Robber Zhi was that the defense of the General's Mansion was extremely tight and almost airtight.

He once had the idea of ​​trying it out, but gave up in the end.

Because he didn't know whether the news of the Mo family's arrival in Songhai had been exposed to the empire, he couldn't act recklessly and put everyone at risk... The last time he visited Xiaoshengxian Manor, it was because Tianming went in, and he didn't hesitate to pay for the giant.

One reason is that he doesn't know whether Gu Xun is in the general's mansion.

Although he had always been confident in his own Qinggong, he did not use this to test the thoughts of the imperial master who was said by Ge Nie to be unmatched by manpower.

Also because of Gu Xun, every time he went to an inn, he would try to stay in the middle of the night...at that time no one would eat.

But compared to the cook, Ding, and Taizhi, the days at dawn are really miserable...

"Have you been facing the wall all morning again today?" Cook Ding touched his chin and looked at his little boss with a pained expression. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to pick up the food box Shi Lan handed over. Shi Lan handed over the thing and immediately lowered her head and hid to the side so that no one could see her face clearly.

It was still so gloomy, but it was a bit more air-conditioned than before.

Tianming looked downcast at the valley ahead, not wanting to talk to the fat man next to him.

Today, in order to rush to class before being late, he bumped into Shi Lan who was delivering food.

Both of them were fine, but the breakfast prepared for Fu Nian and others in the food box was all wasted.

And he couldn't catch up with the time. Even if Shi Lan cleaned up the subsequent mess, he was still late... maybe a few seconds.

Both crimes were punished at the same time, so he faced the wall and thought over it as expected.

In the past half month, he would make a fuss like today's at least once a day, sometimes even two or three times.

At first, Fu Nian punished him with corporal punishments such as slaps. Later, Fu Nian beat him and the people he hit were numb... so numb that he gave up and just asked him to face the wall.

Fu Nian had no idea how to deal with Tianming, or Ziming.

Zhang Liang said that these were his new disciples... Along with Ziyu, although Fu Nian had some suspicions in his heart, he did not reject these two new disciples.

After all, Zhang Liang used himself as guarantee, and Ziming defeated Gongsun Linglong in public, which suddenly spread his name in the village. If Fu Nian forced the two of them away, it would inevitably lead to a lot of discussion among the disciples.

It's just two new disciples, so let's accept them.

But Fu Nian regretted it later...

Ziyu is okay, he is kind to others, quick in thinking, and polite. He handles both his personal studies and his relationship with his classmates very well.

Ziming is the complete opposite. He is clumsy, reckless, paranoid, rude, and has a very bad relationship with his classmates... Of course, Fu Nian understands that the reason for the poor relationship is not only Ziming, but also other Confucian disciples who have big problems.

But other issues are purely Ziming's personal.

It's not like Fu Nian has never seen the thorn-headed disciple, who was even stronger than Han Fei back then, but he had to be a bit intimidated in front of him.

Fu Nian was never afraid that his disciples would not listen to discipline.

But Ziming and Han Fei are completely different situations!
  The latter type knows everything and understands everything, but they just don't follow the rules and just want to follow their own temperament.

As for the former, most of the time he just can't do it!
  I can't concentrate in class... not even for a quarter of an hour.

It's easy to oversleep in the morning... Even if Ziyu calls him several times, it doesn't work.

When you are anxious, you will ignore everything and only see the things you care about at the moment... After making so many mistakes, you still remember to eat and not to fight.

As for memorizing...I fall asleep faster than attending class.

You might say that he has no energy and feels groggy all day long. He is particularly energetic when he has nothing to do. He can quarrel with an entire dormitory by himself.

You could tell that he was bouncing around, but when it was time to study, he would fall asleep, as if he had stayed up for days and nights. It was useless to wake him up, and he would fall asleep again in the blink of an eye.

Facing this kind of disciple, what can Fu Nian do?
  Fu Nian is also very desperate!
  Fortunately, this Confucian leader is a true gentleman. After discovering the truth that Tian Ming was really unworthy of cultivation, he did not dislike this Kuchiki disciple or drive him away in anger. Instead, he chose to tolerate Tian Ming. Shortcomings, he showed great patience and did not force himself to reform the other party.

The daily punishment for Tianming has also been reduced to only facing the wall - punishment is necessary, otherwise it will give other Confucian disciples a bad start, and Fu Nian cannot use Tianming's own lack of qualifications to easily cause discrimination by other disciples. Tianming’s words came to excuse him.
