Chapter 36: Confrontation
"Pass the order, don't kill anyone!" Xiong Jing did not look at the enemy, but asked Zhuang to pass the order. Finally, he quickly admonished two more sentences in Chu language, and then he smiled in the face of his enemies: "The people are not afraid of death, do you think this king is afraid of death?"
Don't hear it: the well frog can't talk to the sea, and it is confined to nothingness; Summer insects can't talk to the ice, but to the time; Qushi should not speak to the Taoist, and be bound to the teaching. Since you are the Mo, you should believe in the Mohists. Since we are convinced of this, it is natural that those who do not agree with ourselves are heretical, so why should we pretend to be fair and say that it is unreasonable? ”
The boat had stopped, and Zhuang Quji, who wanted to kill and seize the ship, was stopped by Xiong Jing, and the armor soldiers on the boat on the shore were completely on guard and ready to attack with swords. Qiu Ji looked at Xiong Jing with a look of disbelief, he didn't dare to treat this person as a child anymore, and only said: "Killing people deserves death, three generations of customs, the ink has not been before, how can those who do not disagree with themselves are hereticals?" ”
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this custom of all things, when there are no people, it has been. This is especially true today, so why not? Xiong Jing retorted. The Mohists live in the world with their own thoughts, and what do they have to do with the customs of the three generations? ”
The two argued, and the left and right histories were already recording with a pen. Qiu Ji used the same burial of the water as a threat to argue with the king of Chu, not only to promote the name of the Mo family, but also to warn future kings, and also hope that the historian would record it. It's a pity that he didn't win the righteousness of moving out of the customs of three generations, and he was also criticized by the king of Chu as 'the same party, different people', and he was immediately angry.
"What the Mo family does is the great righteousness of the world, and the righteous are the great interests of the world. What is wrong with the righteousness of the world for the sake of the world? "The hatred argued loudly, and what he said was all the truth of the Mo family." When there is no punishment, there is a difference in the hearts of men. One person has one righteousness, two people have two righteousness, and ten people have ten righteousness. The greater the number of them, the greater the number of the righteous. It is because everyone holds their own righteousness and refutes the righteousness of others, so they attack each other.
Fathers and sons and brothers cannot be combined; The people of the world are harmed by poison; If you have spare strength, you can't help; If there is any surplus, it is not divided among them; Concealing the good way, not teaching each other, the chaos in the world, if the beasts are, this is the reason why everyone has their own righteousness. ”
What the enemy said was Shang Tong of the Mo family. What is Shang Tong? It is to turn people with different opinions into people with the same opinions, and this process is called 'the righteousness of the whole world', so that 'whatever is above must be what is there; What is not must be not, and nothing is wrong', that is, all people's likes and dislikes must be the same as those of the above, without any mistake.
Xiong Jing smiled and listened to what Qiu Ji said, but said: "Let's not talk about whether the righteousness of the world is right or wrong, don't just ask, why should your Mo family share the righteousness of the world?" Instead of Confucianism, not Legalism, not Taoism, how can you be Mohist?
You Mojia say one, everyone can't say two; This is obviously a horse, but you say it is a deer, and everyone in the world says it is a deer, how ridiculous is it? ”
"Haha......" Although it was in danger, Xiong Jing patted the horse and said that it was a deer, and the armorers still laughed. Most of them have never read a book, and they used to hear that the Mo family couldn't help but admire, but now the king said that the Mo family wants to say that the horse is a deer, and let everyone in the world say that it is a deer, so why not laugh.
The laughter made his face twitch, and he was already in a dilemma. The king of Chu is not a Mo man, and the killing needs to rely on the righteousness of the world, but he can't be speechless when he argues with the king of Chu, how can this be good?
"If you don't kill now, when will you stay?" A handsome hand urged in Song, but Xiong Jing and the others didn't understand at all.
"Don't kill at this time." Qiu Ji shook his head, he looked at Xiong Jing, who was also laughing, and argued again: "My ink is only for the world, and I respect the ghosts of heaven and love the people. If the heavenly ghosts are rewarded, then naturally the righteousness of the world will be shared by my Mo family, so why not? As a king, but you don't love the people, and you abandon the law and customs, my Mo family can punish you on behalf of the heavens......"
At this time, Xiong Jing was going down the river, and Xiong Jing looked at a small tree in the middle of the river. Before the words of the enemy were finished, he hurriedly interrupted: "Can the people of Aili include me, Chumin? The ink will be unpredictable to this king, this king has already known, so the news of Da Chu has been slowed down in the Song Dynasty, but you are still waiting here, but the Qin people tell each other? Song is the land of Chu, and the people are the people of Chu, but you collude with the enemy country and kill the king, this is the so-called love of the people of the Mo family?
Standing up is even more ridiculous, and it is beautiful to say that it is appreciated by heavenly ghosts. Thirty years ago, the previous Juzi died, and many ink writers attacked and slandered in front of the King of Qin, in order to become the new Juzi, which was clearly rewarded by the King of Qin. After Yan Wuyi became a huge man, he wantonly killed people who dissided, this is the reward of your Mo family's heavenly ghosts? For the sake of all the people in the world, you ask why this king kills people and doesn't die, why don't you go to Qin State and ask why Yan Wuyi kills people and doesn't die? ”
What kind of virtue is the Mo family, Xiong Qi gave the information clearly, in order to delay time, Xiong Jing had to reveal this little-known secret. Qiu Ji wanted to finish the trial speech and was about to do it, but when he heard these words, his face changed instantly, with his age and qualifications, he naturally heard of those things that were in the position of the current Juzi.
"You! You ......" Qiu Ji pointed at Xiong Jing, and he was speechless with shame and anger.
"Kill!" Xiong Jing suddenly drank violently, and he had to do it before the inkman sank.
"Kill!" The armor soldier who had already been ordered rushed forward violently, stabbing with a sharp blade. The enemy did not draw his sword and hit two swords in a row, although the other inkers drew their swords to fight, but the blade was unstoppable, and they soon died under the sword, but when the armor soldier was fighting, there were fireworks in the cabin.
"The King?" It is not difficult to kill a dozen old men, but the difficult thing is that the cabin is loaded with grease that ignites the fire, and this ship cannot be saved.
"Paddle to the tree." Xiong Jing pointed to a small tree not far away. Small trees can grow in the middle of the river, and the only explanation is that there are sand dunes below.
"Yui!" Zhuang Qujian hurriedly ordered, not wanting the oars to be thrown into the river by the men, and the few slurries found were also broken.
"With a sword! Go to the tail of the boat. "The fire is getting bigger and bigger, the horses are neighing, and what is even more strange is that the big boat has a tendency to fall apart. It was too late to use their swords, and a few of the armorers who knew how to swim jumped into the water with a thud, paddling in the water and pushing them towards the dunes. Before the gang fell apart completely, everyone felt that their feet shook violently, and the gang ran aground.
"Disembark!" Xiong Jing was already on his horse, and he did not understand his master's intentions, and jumped off the deck without fear of the river. Because it is a sand dune, the water here is very shallow, only past the horse's knee.
"Very dangerous!" Zhuang Qujian also rode on a horse, looking at the surging river under his feet, he was a little frightened when he didn't know how to water.
"What's at stake?" Wattle can swim, and he can't die without a dune. "When I'm free, Gong Jia has to learn to swim."
"Ahh Zhuang Qu sighed, he hadn't finished yet, Xiong Jing said again: "What you say is not allowed to be spread outside, and the offender will be killed!" ”
"Yui!" What Xiong Jing said in the end is unheard of by historians, what happened to the Mo family in the Qin State thirty years ago can be known so clearly, the right history immediately sounded a person, only that person can know so detailed, and that person is also the blood of the previous king.
In distress in the river, trapped in the sand dunes, without waiting for Qiyi Yi Yin to come to the rescue, the rest of the palace armor rowed a bow boat and a floating raft to pick up Xiong Jing and others to the north bank. When the Yi pawn came to inquire, the palace armor showed the runes, which startled the other party.
"The ministers pay their respects to the king." In addition to the Fu Festival, the banner was also displayed, and when the last batch of armor soldiers landed, Yin of Qiyi Yi came to worship.
"If you still need to hurry, you won't enter Qiyi." Xiong Jing excused himself and explained.
The matter of the "minister......" ink master's plot to assassinate the king made Yi Yin's heart beat non-stop, he wanted to express his loyalty but did not dare to disobey Xiong Jing's meaning, and it was very difficult for a while.
"The ink man is not plotting to assassinate, these people will be handed over to you for thorough investigation first." More than a dozen rafts, some killed, others captured. There were still hundreds of miles to go, and the captives could only be handed over to Qiyi temporarily.
"Respectfully obeyed." Qi Yi immediately received the order, and before he could raise his head, the sound of horses' hooves rose, and in the dust, the flag had already traveled far away.

Even after being washed with water several times, the fishy smell in the city of Mulingguan still does not go. Lu Chan, who was carrying a bucket, was a little annoyed, the water had to be picked up from outside the pass, and a trip was three or four miles, and he was even more annoyed that he was also a student of Lantai and was in the first two rows of the military formation.
"No more!" As soon as the bucket was thrown, he stood in a huff, unable to understand where he was inferior to Lu Gao. What about being smart, does he have his own bravery?
Knowing his temper, his comrades laughed: "But you are not a scholar? ”
"So what?" Cavalry soldiers don't carry water, honored soldiers don't carry water, and officers naturally don't carry water, so only ordinary pawns take turns to carry water. "What about horseback riding? If there were no foot soldiers such as us, how would the city of Jucheng defeat the Qi people! ”
"Since the son is a prince, how can he be a pawn?" Someone chimed in. "A foot pawn is not as good as a cavalry pawn, and a cavalry pawn is not as good as a boat pawn......
"A horseman is not as good as a boat pawn?" Lu Chan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he picked up the bucket and walked together with this person. "Really?"
"That's true." The man's eyes blinked, and he heard the news from nowhere. "In the first battle of Jucheng, only 100 foot soldiers were selected, and more than 400 cavalry soldiers were selected.
"Geometry, Honorable Geometry?" Not only Lu Chan, but the other armor soldiers also came over when they heard the voice, and this person was even happier. The king's soldiers are good at fighting, and they pull people from the king's soldiers to go to the boats, but they are paid according to the head.
"Two thousand five hundred soldiers, a thousand people have become honored soldiers." The man whispered. "My heart has been decided, and I will join the boat division after this battle, and if you wish, you can go with me."
"If you go together, you will go together." The crowd roared. Yu Shi is given fifty stones a year, which is indeed not much, but he can kill people without dying. Walking out with a huge iron knife hanging from his waist, who doesn't respect himself? Respect, this is what soldiers need most; And according to the strong to help the weak without violating the law, several honorable people can go together and sweep away the injustice of the world.
"The king!" When the soldiers shouted to go together, the servants shouted, and the soldiers of the entire Guancheng hurriedly saluted.
The last 100 kilometers of riding almost broke up Xiong Jing's bones, but fortunately, he got on the boat when he arrived at Xiapi, and the boat rested for a day. The alliance is not today, but tomorrow, as the leader of the alliance, he came to familiarize himself with the venue in advance.
