Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1281 Confucian leader
  "Hmph..." After a moment of silence, Fu Nian sighed tiredly. Not wanting to argue with Zhang Liang anymore, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, take these two..."

Fu Nian's plan to take Zhang Liangyan down first was interrupted by an accident, and his words stopped abruptly.

Under the sunlight at the door, a tall and thin figure appeared there at some point.

Although the backlight made it impossible to see his face clearly, Fu Nian could recognize who the person was just by looking at the figure and the towering crown on his head.

It was Xunzi, the uncle of their three brothers and the highest-ranking person in Confucianism at this time.

Only he dared to come here uninvited when Fu Nian was furious.

Seeing the flash of astonishment on Fu Nian's face, Yan Lu and Zhang Liangliang also had suspicions, and turned to look at the door in unison.

Xunzi also slowly walked into the house with his hands behind his hands.

Fu Nian hurriedly stood up from his seat, clasped his hands and bowed, "Uncle, long time no see."

Zhang Liang and Yan Lu didn't say anything, they just stood up and moved to the left and right, leaving the C seat in the middle free.

"It's only a few years, not a long time, right?" Xunzi replied casually, and continued to walk a few steps forward to ensure that he could hear Fu Nian's voice clearly. At the same time, Fu Nian stopped after hearing his own voice clearly. He raised a hand to stroke his long beard and asked casually:

"I hear you arguing about family law, national law, Mencius, and The Analects of Confucius. It seems like it's just for the sake of two children?"

Fu Nian frowned and replied, "They are all traitors and important criminals wanted by the empire."

Zhang Liang moved his lips on the side, wanting to say something.

He wanted to remind him that one of them was not wanted, but that was all that mattered.

Xunzi didn't see the anger, but still asked calmly, "So... you want to hand them over?"

Fu Nian tried to present the facts and reason with his uncle, "During this period, the entire Songhai was under the strict control of the empire, and a large number of troops were stationed. Some time ago, the Prime Minister personally visited the Little Saint's Manor. "

"If these two children continue, it will definitely bring disaster to the Confucian family!"

"Li Si..." When Xunzi, who had always been calm, heard this name, he suddenly showed a bit of displeasure and his tone became a bit harsh, "You want to hand over two children to such a person?"

"Uncle Master, I said..." Fu Nian could only helplessly try to continue explaining, but was directly interrupted by Xunzi.

"In order to protect his official career, Li Si will not hesitate to deal with his fellow disciples."

"Are you planning to deal with your two junior brothers today?"

Fu Nian naturally didn't dare to accept this hat. Moreover, he really didn't have this idea. "Uncle Master should know that everything I do is for the safety of Little Saint's Manor."

"Can you save Confucianism by enduring humiliation?" Xunzi asked.

"But you will definitely not be saved by acting recklessly!" Fu Nian solemnly replied in a loud voice.

"As the head of Xiaoshengxian Village, it is my unshirkable responsibility to protect the safety of Xiaoshengxian Village and continue the Confucianism passed down by the ancestors."

"I am the only one to bear this responsibility. I dare not slack off, and I cannot let anyone else share it for me, not even you...as my most respected uncle!"

What Fu Nian said was a bit harsh, and it was tantamount to saying that it was not Xunzi's turn to make the final decision on the affairs of Xiaoshengxian Village.

But it’s not too much, because although Confucianism pays attention to the order of elders and younger ones, it also respects the distinction between superior and inferior. Fu Nian is the leader after all. He just needs to maintain a respectful attitude towards Xunzi, an elder. It is related to the decision-making of Xiaoshengxian Village. It's no one's turn to comment.

Therefore, Xunzi was not angry at his remarks, but nodded, "Yes, you are the head of Confucianism, I know this very well."

"However, I have one more thing to say." "Taking something that does not exist is not righteous; killing someone without guilt is not benevolent."

"No matter what, Ziming and Ziyu are just two children."

"Of course, the final decision is yours."

Xunzi turned around and walked out, leaving a few words at the end:
  "The decision of the leader is the decision of Xiaoshengxian Village, which is also the decision of Confucianism."

"The will of the leader is the will of Xiaoshengxian Village, which is also the will of Confucianism."

"In the past, many people have shouldered this responsibility, but now, it is you, Fu Nian!"

As the last word fell, Xunzi's figure completely disappeared from Fu Nian's sight.

Inside the house, Fu Nian looked at the empty door, clenching his right hand tightly behind his back, his face uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

………………

No one knows what final decision Confucian leader Fu Nian made, but what is certain is that he acquiesced in Shao Yu and Tian Ming's continued stay in Little Sage Village.

Zhang Liang also sent his disciples to the city in the evening of the same day to find Shao Yu who was planning to run away and Tian Ming who knew nothing about it.

Shao Yu, who was alert and alert, knew that he and Tian Ming were not 100% safe from the moment they entered Little Sage Village. After all, it was only Zhang Liang, the third master, who brought them in, not Fu Nian, the master.

So as soon as he received the news that Zhang Liang specially sent to him, he immediately took Tian Mingrun with him.

If Zhang Liang hadn't taken care of this, Fu Nian was determined to hand them over to the empire, and they would have been made dumplings if they stayed in Little Saint Xian Manor.

Anyway, regardless of whether there are dates or not, it is absolutely right to run away first.

Shao Yu didn't even dare to approach an inn, and immediately planned to leave the city. Fortunately, Zhang Liang's side ended quickly, otherwise he might have to send people out of the city to look for him.

Of course, Tianming was unaware of all the twists and turns throughout the journey.

In his opinion, he was somehow dragged into the city by Shao Yu and slipped away for a long time, and then Zhang Liang sent someone to call them back inexplicably.

In short, everyone is abnormal.

………………

East China Sea.

The towering mirage is driving slowly on the water, and it seems that the speed is still decreasing, and it seems to be stopping.

It’s not hard to guess why the ship stopped so suddenly in the sea—the sea was a little uneasy.

It was obviously a sunny day with no wind or rain, but waves kept coming one after another on the sea, which was very strange.

Of course, waves of this magnitude are actually not enough to pose any threat to the mirage, otherwise there is no need to expect it to go out to sea and just lie down in the port.

However, the people on the boat were worried that the waves would further intensify. In addition, the mirage at this time was still a new ship product that had not been reviewed by senior management. If it bumped into something or even just got dirty, it would be difficult to explain. Just drop anchor and wait and see what happens.

At worst, we'll arrive in Hong Kong half a day or a few hours late, but there's no rush anyway.

But once it enters Songhai Port, the ship may be inspected by senior officials at any time.
