Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 522 To Songhai

After sitting down, without any unnecessary nonsense, Fu Nian immediately began to talk about the purpose of looking for Xunzi. His serious and upright voice echoed in the small room:

"Uncle Master, I have received news that Gu Xun, the master of Qin State, is coming towards Sanghai. If nothing else, his destination is Xiaoshengxian Manor."

Hearing Gu Xun's name, Xunzi didn't have any doubts. Although he entered a semi-reclusive state after his two disciples, Han Fei and Li Si, left one after another, it didn't mean that he didn't care about the world's affairs at all. After all, he is also a great Confucian scholar and the face of Xiaoshengxian Manor. Even if Fu Nian, the first headmaster, has no problem with his abilities, he should still take care of him.

After a while, when Fu Nian's position as headmaster is secure and his reputation no longer overshadows the headmaster's, he can completely let go and live his life as an old man with peace of mind. .

Regarding the news that Gu Xun was coming, Xunzi acted very calmly, stroking his long white beard on his chin and said, "He can come whenever he wants. It's not like the Little Saint's Villa cannot accept guests."

Confucianism still attaches great importance to rules. Of course, ordinary people are not qualified to visit Xiaoshengxian Manor casually, but Gu Xun has the identity of the Qin State's imperial master. Let alone visiting Xiaoshengxian Manor, even visiting the King of Qi, he cannot do so casually. Refuse.

When Fu Nian heard this, his face that always exuded a faint look of suffering became even more ugly, "Uncle Master, wherever he goes in ancient times... there are often waves and chaos. He comes to the little sage. Zhuang, it may not be just an ordinary visit to my Confucian family."

In fact, part of the reason why Fu Nian was so wary of Gu Xun was Han Fei.

Han Fei is also a famous figure in Songhai City and Confucianism. If Fu Nian is recognized by everyone as the embodiment of Confucian etiquette, then Han Fei is the terminator of Confucian etiquette. In other words... he is the terminator of Fu Nian. Synonymous with chaos and unbearableness, the breaker of rules, and the end of order.

Even with Fu Nian's qi-nurturing skills, during the years when Han Fei was studying at Songhai, Han Fei was so angry that he lost his steady demeanor more than once. It can be said that he almost wanted to curse!
  Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, cheating, and stealing. Apart from smoking and kidnapping, Han Fei did everything. He was regarded by the people as an outlier of the Little Sage Village. This once affected the reputation of the Little Sage Village. If Xunzi had not protected it in every possible way, he would have been I thought he had been removed from the list a long time ago.

The most important thing is that both he and Li Si were students of Confucianism, but what they ultimately learned were Legalist knowledge...

From Fu Nian's point of view, God knows what kind of chaos Gu Xun, who has a close relationship with Han Fei, will bring about.

Xunzi's old but still sharp and bright eyes slightly raised and glanced at the head of his family. He knew exactly what he was thinking and replied directly:

"Usual or unusual, his main target is me. As the leader, you just have to be polite. Don't worry about the rest."

"Uncle Master, are you willing to see him?" When Fu Nian heard this, his eyes flickered and his face softened slightly.

Fu Nian went to Xunzi because he actually wanted to fend off him. As the head of Confucianism, he was not lacking in responsibility, but when he knew that he was not suitable to deal with it, he would not have to bite the bullet, and Xunzi As a Confucian elder and having a relationship with Han Fei, he was the best candidate to receive Gu Xun regardless of his status or close relationship.

However, Xunzi had an eccentric temperament. He had hardly seen outsiders since he resigned from Jixia's position as a wine sacrificer for the last time and retired to the Little Sage Village. Fu Nian was not sure whether his uncle was willing to show up, so he came over.

When Xunzi heard Fu Nian's rhetorical question, he glanced sideways at him, said nothing, and waved his hand, "If you have nothing else to do, just go and do your business. Don't disturb me."

Fu Nian stood up after hearing the words, bowed respectfully and left as always.

Fu Nian, who had received Xunzi's reply, naturally had nothing else to say. He had to deal with mostly trivial matters up and down the Little Sage Village every day.

On the way back, Fu Nian met a teenage boy with a handsome face and an indifferent expression, wearing a light-colored Confucian disciple's uniform.

When he saw Fu Nian, the leader, he naturally stopped obediently, performed standard etiquette, and said hello, "Hello, senior fellow leader." Fu Nian nodded towards him, and his attitude rarely became gentler, " Zilu."

This young man is Yan Lu who came to Confucianism to study and took refuge in the Confucian school. Young students like him are usually called with the word "子" in front of their names.

Although Yan Lu was young, he was named by one of Fu Nian's uncles. Therefore, he was of the same generation as Fu Nian and was a generation above most of his peers in Little Saint Xian Manor.

Fu Nian quite likes this junior fellow apprentice who has a calm and gentle temperament, and he also cherishes his life experience, so his attitude is much better than that of ordinary disciples.

Yan Lu saw that Fu Nian seemed to be coming from the back mountain, so he asked casually, "Did Senior Brother Head go to see Senior Uncle Xunzi?"

"Yes." Fu Nian nodded and explained briefly, "There are some things that need to be discussed with my uncle."

Of course he would not tell Yan Lu, a young man, the details, so after a few pleasantries, he left.

The smart Yan Lu knew that his old-fashioned head brother would not go to Uncle Xunzi for a while. He must have something very important, but... what does it have to do with him?

He is just a poor student who has lost his parents and has nothing to worry about.

………………

Yan Lingji, who came to the coastal city for the first time, was a little shocked by the sight of the sea and the sky. Although the Baiyue Kingdom was quite close to the sea in the past, her activities were always limited to the mountains, forests, lakes and swamps, the sea...that What is it?
  In her concept, it was just a very big lake. However, after actually seeing it, she realized that lake and sea are two different concepts... The exception was the inner lake of the Roman Republic. By the way, it was only about dozens of Years later, Rome won the Third Punic War and successfully turned the Mediterranean into an inland lake.

Gu Xun's reaction to this scene was mediocre. After all, he was a modern person who had seen and eaten before. Besides, he had also visited the seaside in the animal world. Of course, seeing an ancient city built by the sea for the first time was still a bit strange. Yes, the only thing that makes him feel more regretful is that there is no mirage, a very unscientific pre-Qin stern giant ship.

The scene he remembers most clearly about Songhai is the mirage ship in the anime lying quietly on the sea, with the city of Songhai below. Putting the two together, one ship is almost as big as Half of the city...

Now that Gu Xun has actually arrived in Songhai City, he feels that the mirage thing is almost catching up with the Demon God of War.

According to his rough estimate, the urban area of ​​Songhai City should be nearly four kilometers long. Even if the mirage is only one-third the length of the urban area, it is still more than a thousand meters long... The aircraft carrier will shed tears just looking at it!

　Originally, Yan Lu was supposed to be a child at most ten years old, but considering Zhang Liang's age... I had to let Yan Lu grow up a few years.

　　Zhang Liang in Tianjiuli is actually only fourteen or fifteen years old according to Xuanji officials, so I arranged for Yan Lu to be a little older than him, so he should be fourteen or fifteen years old.

　　Anyway, the platoon brothers are based on the entry time. If it weren't for Yan Lu's beard, I would have just arranged for Zhang Liang to be older than him.

　　By the way, in history, Yan Hui's father was named Yan Lu, but the official Xuanji setting is that Yan Lu is a combination of Yan Hui and Zi Lu, which has nothing to do with the Yan Lu in historical facts.
