Chapter Forty-Seven: Although the Tao is not good, it cannot be reached

On the road from Changping to Lucheng, a carriage is swaying forward, Ge is cursing the local officials, driving the car seriously, Zhao Kuo is holding gradually, reading seriously, this long journey, there are two entertainment activities, the first is to read, the second is to chat with Ge, in these two options, Zhao Kuo did not hesitate to choose the first one, this road is very bumpy, has not been repaired for many years, even if the carriage, the speed of progress is not fast.

Therefore, Ge hated the officials here very much, and he said that if he met the officials here another day, he would definitely spit in the face of that official.

Zhao Kuo just smiled and ignored the annoyed Ge.

After driving for a long time, Zhao Kuo's eyes were a little sore, reading a book in this shaking carriage was a very painful thing, put down the bamboo slips, rubbed his eyes, Zhao Kuo looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, the road was lined with uneven hills and ravines, he asked with some curiosity: "Where are we rushing to?" ”

"It's Xianyang!" , Ge said angrily.

"Huh?" , Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, and asked again: "I want to know how long it will take to reach Lucheng?" Ge thought for a moment, and then said: "It will take about six or seven days, the road here is not easy to walk, I used to follow Ma Fujun here, at that time it was not as bad as it is now, for decades, they have not repaired, these incompetent beetles!" ”

"My father was here?"

"Of course!" Speaking of Ma Fujun, Ge was in a lot of spirits, no longer yin and yang, he slowly recalled the past, smiled and said: "Ma Fujun is not like you, he often runs around, sometimes, even can only go on foot, I and he have been to Wucheng once on foot from Handan, and walked for more than 30 days...", Ge talked about the past, Zhao Kuo listened carefully, and when he finished speaking, Zhao Kuo asked: "General Lian Po said that my father was irritable, is this true?" ”

"That's the case, Ma Fujun is upright, once Pingyuanjun's family broke the law, extraordinarily arrogant, insulted Ma Fujun, Ma Fujun directly pulled out his sword, and beheaded one person with a sword, and then, the rest of the people were so frightened that their clothes were wet, and they cried and entertained all their crimes, and Ma Fujun killed them all, his personality was irritable, and he often argued with others, and I always had to persuade him..."

"You persuade him to ???"

Suddenly, Zhao Kuo felt that this story was not very real, and he asked: "But I remember that my father is a very gentle and elegant person?" ”

"With the presence of the master mother, can you not be gentle and elegant...", Ge just muttered, and did not continue.

Zhao Kuo seems to have discovered a big secret, could it be that this dignified horse is still a man who is afraid of his wife? Oh, what's there to be afraid of my wife? When I get married in the future, I will definitely be at home and hold the power of the family, Zhao Kuo thought to himself.

On the side of the road, I suddenly saw an ox cart, the wheels of the ox cart seemed to be broken, an old man stood calmly aside, but it was the young man who seemed to be the driver, he was about to cry out, he was at a loss, Zhao Kuo hurriedly ordered Ge to stop the car, and walked down from the carriage, Zhao Kuo first saluted the old man, the old man was tall, but slightly thin, with a long beard, holding a bamboo slip, he was probably the most handsome old man Zhao Kuo had seen in his life.

"Is the old man okay? But what do you need help with? Zhao Kuo asked with a smile, Ge on the side put his hand on the hilt of the sword, looked at them suspiciously, the young driver spoke a mouthful of Qi dialect, and hurriedly said a lot to Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo couldn't understand a word, he looked at the young man in front of him, nodded and said: "My car is broken, and there is no place to repair here." ”

The old man's voice is magnetic, very good, he still uses a Handan accent, so that Zhao Kuo feels cordial, his words are also very calm, there is no anxiety trapped on the road at all, very calmly told Zhao Kuo what he was facing, Zhao Kuo helped to check the wheels, the wheels are indeed disconnected, the ox cart is also a little tilted, Zhao Kuo shook his head, and said: "I have no way to help you repair, not far ahead is Lucheng, why don't you get into my carriage, leave the car here, I and this driver lead the ox to follow." ”

"I can send you to Lucheng."

The old man looked a little surprised, he looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him again, and said, "You must be someone who has read a lot of books, so that's it." Ge was a little anxious, he jumped up from the carriage suddenly, and shouted: "Shaojun, we don't know the origin of this person, maybe it is a spy sent by the Qin people, what's more, he has never thanked you for your help, it seems that he is a villain with no morality, how can he let him get into the carriage?" ”

The old man was very angry, glared at Ge in front of him, and said, "Why can't you learn his character when you stay by the side of such a benevolent and righteous family master?" Not only do you not persuade your own master to do righteous things, but you want to discourage people like you from being the root of cholera in the world. ”

"I have heard that things follow their masters, my character is not good, and your conduct is like your carriage!"

"I have heard that cattle and sheep will bow their heads to show their gentleness when they meet people, and tigers and leopards will be vigilant when they meet people, only wild boars in the mountains and forests, after encountering others, will stretch out their fangs and attack people desperately, to show their courage, but they reveal their ignorance, you are a person like a wild boar!"

"Me!!" The old man raised his fist and shouted, "You are a villain who does not know how to accept the favor of others and express his gratitude!" ”

"You're a beast who doesn't know how to show your manners, and you can only grin your teeth."

"You're a beast!!"

"You don't read a lot of books on weekdays, do you? Can't even swear people? ”

Anyway, the old man still got into the carriage, Zhao Kuo and his young driver followed behind, Ge was considered to have met a real opponent, and the old man quarreled so much that it was dark, Ge drove the car, the old man sat in the carriage, and the mouths of the two did not stop, if Ge also has some characteristics of a Zuan boy, then this old man is completely a senior Zuan diamond.

Ge rarely fell into the disadvantage in the scolding fight, although Zhao Kuo walked, it was better to take a carriage, but seriously, this road has become tasteful, listening to the quarrel between the two of them every day, Zhao Kuo is a little nostalgic for the taste of popcorn, but unfortunately, the Qi man next to him doesn't understand Zhao language, the two can't talk, and the one can't even understand what the old man and Ge are arguing about, and looks at them with a confused face.

When the carriage finally arrived at Lucheng, the two people said goodbye to Zhao Kuo and left, probably because of the military situation, the old soldiers at the city gate looked very cautious, interrogated Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo did not tell the truth, and said that he was Handan Ling's fourth son Handan made, and the old soldiers were directly released, which made Zhao Kuo's heart extremely complicated, and he had the heart to reprimand, but looking at the few old soldiers with white hair and trance, he couldn't speak.

The old man got out of the carriage, and then solemnly thanked Zhao Kuo, he asked with a smile: "I have been away from Zhao for many years, I didn't expect that there are still people like you among the young people of Zhao Kingdom, I am very happy about this, I hope you can continue to maintain your benevolence, you will definitely have great achievements in the future." ”

"Do you still need to say that?" , Ge on the side said with some displeasure.

The old man looked at him, smiled, and said, "Thank you for driving me here, you are also an upright and strong retainer, please dissuade your family master more, let him study more and do more benevolent and righteous things." Zhao Kuo didn't expect that the two old men would quarrel with friendship, and after the two people said goodbye, Zhao Kuo hurriedly rushed to Handan.

"Teacher, you seem to like this young man of Zhao very much? Why not let him follow you and learn the truth? The young rider on the side asked curiously.

"He has learned the deepest truth of righteousness, so what can I teach him? Don't ask any more questions, buy a car first, and after seeing the people we should see, we'll go back. ”

"Got it, teacher."
