Chapter 53: The Covenant of Fusu (1)

In the early afternoon, I waited for Shilan at the appointed location.

Originally, she wanted to take me directly over the wall, knowing that I couldn't do any light work, she decisively gave up this plan, although she was good at light work, but it was still a little difficult to take someone to climb over the high wall of the small sage village. However, Shi Lan is definitely not an ordinary person, she is also proficient in witchcraft from the Western Shu Kingdom, and will use a magical trick to cover her eyes. What's even better is that this method has a very philosophical name, which is called a leaf blinding.

A blind eye, not seeing the world, can confuse others to hide themselves.

Although I didn't understand how this blind method blinded the disciple's sight and made us walk out of the door in such a grand manner, I was not very surprised, nothing is impossible to happen in this strange time and space, there is no scientific principle at all, and I have long been surprised by those fantasy events. I don't know if this kind of witchcraft is passed on, but if I can, it should be good to be able to learn both hands......

The mysterious girl Shi Lan made me even more curious about this unknown country, the Western Shu Kingdom. And why did Shi Lan leave her hometown and come all the way to Songhai City? She disguised herself as a man and lurked in an inn, and what was it about the mirage to investigate?

"Shi Lan, what are you looking for in the mirage?"

"Miss Ziyu doesn't have to know so much. ”

"But don't you tell me how I can help you find out?"

"Miss Ziyu doesn't need to deliberately help me inquire about the news at the moment, so as not to arouse Fusu's suspicion. If I need help from a girl in the future, I will come to her. ”

Shi Lan didn't want to sue me, so I didn't ask any more, it is true that she is not very familiar with me, and there is no reason to trust me so much, and tell me all her secrets.

"Miss Ziyu, I will answer you secretly on the side in case something unexpected happens. ”

"Thank you so much, Shi Lan!"

Shi Lan is only a teenage girl, but she has an elegant and elegant temperament, revealing maturity and calmness beyond age from her bones, in my opinion, she must be a person with a story. Time passes like an arrow and does not return, but the years are deeply rooted in our faces, in our hearts, in our joys, sorrows and sorrows, making each of us different and unique.

And what is hidden in Shi Lan's cold and clear eyes, I think, must be a poignant past.

The wharf of Songhai City is breezy and the golden mirage stands tall above the sea, I don't know when it will set sail, where it will go to find immortals, will it really go east to Japan?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile at the question that historians can't conclude, maybe I, who have witnessed the process of history, can be fortunate to know the answer to it.

"Girl, why are you smiling?" Fu Su asked, as he walked up to me and asked curiously, a smile of inquiry rising at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Royal Highness is polite!" I bowed my head and saluted him respectfully.

The flickering smile on his face dimmed for a moment, and after a pause, he said: "Every time I see a girl smiling like this, I will hear a unique opinion, I don't know what the girl is laughing at today?"

When he asked me like this, I didn't know where to start, so I randomly found a topic and prevaricated: "I was thinking that this mirage has no sails, and it is so huge, and it does not rely on the power of the wind, so what force does it rely on to propel it to sail? It won't stop here forever and can't go out, right......?"

As soon as the words fell, Fu Su suddenly laughed, he nodded, a trace of the king's domineering and arrogance appeared in his expression, and he said: "The girl is really discerning, the mirage was designed by the public and the enemy, and the whole project took ten years, and I invested a lot of money in Daqin." Now that I'm ready, it's just a little bit of a problem in terms of power, but it will be solved soon, and the mystery of this is only clear to the public loser, and I'm not proficient in the mechanics of the public loser. ”

"The tricks of the public loser are really ingenious, which is really impressive, and it can be compared to the Mo family. ”

Hearing the word Mo family, a trace of coldness suddenly flashed on Fu Su's face, and he sighed: "It's a pity that the Mo family can't do its best to be the enemy of my Great Qin, otherwise, a generation of prominent Mo family can also have a great achievement in the world." ”

In order not to make Fusu suspicious, I told you to affirm the remarks of the great unification of the Qin Dynasty: "Although the unification of the six countries by the Great Qin has experienced countless wars, it is also the inevitable price of change. It is true that the Mohists advocate both love and non-aggression, but this ideal may indeed be too ideal to be realized. Even if the Qin State does not destroy the Six Kingdoms, how can the smoke of gunfire between the Seven Kingdoms ever stop?"

"That's true. Compared with the Mohist concept of non-aggression and love, he believes in the Confucian theory of benevolence and love. ”

"Does the prince agree with the idea that the people are the most important thing for Master Meng?" I thought to myself, since Fusu mentioned Confucianism, I simply asked him about his ideas and positions, and saw if they were completely consistent with the records in the history books.

"If we are unified today, although it is the trend of the times, we have also paid a heavy price, and the world has decided that if we can advocate the rule of benevolence and virtue, it will be more able to appease the people, but it is just ......." Fusu suddenly stopped halfway through his words.

He turned his head to look at me for a moment, as if he was appreciating a work of art, with a look of approval and inquiry, and suddenly raised a smile and said: "The girl is really bold, she dares to talk to me about such a topic, aren't you afraid that I will ask you for it?"

I looked at him in a daze, and I didn't know how to explain it for a while, and if I didn't know the future history, of course I wouldn't dare to be so rampant! Before the Song Dynasty, how many emperors listened to Mencius's proposition of 'monarchy and people's authority', and which one did not pretend to be deaf and dumb and unwilling to respond positively, and in history, Zhu Yuanzhang was even furious after reading Mencius's "Chapters and Sentences with All His Heart", and simply deleted Mengzi's famous sayings of many nobles and gentlemen.

Embarrassed, I hurriedly changed the topic, smiled at him, and asked, "Master Fusu, did you say in your letter that you had a congratulatory gift?"

Fusu's gaze remained fixed on my face, but he suddenly put away his smile and asked in an inexplicable tone. "If I don't use the excuse of giving a congratulatory gift, won't the girl come to the appointment?"

I was a little embarrassed, squeezed out a dry smile, and didn't look away from his gaze.

"Actually...... I'm looking for your help, too. I deliberately avoided his question, but it also brought out the purpose of my trip.

"Oh, if there's anything I can do to help, just say. ”

"That, I have a friend who has a strange disease, and recently I was fortunate enough to meet a master for diagnosis and treatment, and the master said that a special medicinal herb is needed to cure my friend's disease, but now Songhai City Pharmacy can't even buy ordinary bone-setting medicine, so I want to ask Childe if he has it. ”

"Well, what kind of medicine?"

"Artemisia produces wolf venom. ”

"Poison?"

"It's a poison indeed. My friend's illness is quite strange, and the master said that he can only try the method of fighting poison with poison, and maybe there is a glimmer of hope. ”

He nodded, and said in a sincere tone: "Okay, I can help the girl find it, it shouldn't be difficult, I hope I can help your friend." ”

"Thank you so much!" Fusu is really good at talking, he really didn't misunderstand his character!

He looked at me, smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "How can the girl repay me?"

"This ......"
