In mid-spring February, the position of the sun is in Kuisu; At dawn, Jianxing is located in the middle of the southern sky; At dusk, the arc star is in the middle of the southern sky.

Dusk is approaching, and the looming arc star sighs lightly: "When Shennong was in Shennong, his residence was quiet and leisurely, and his actions were easy to travel, and all the people were like me, only knowing his mother, but not his father. They coexisted with elk, ploughed and fed, woven and clothed, and did not have the intention of harming each other, which was the era of moral prosperity. ”

"So when I first set out, I wanted to recreate this era in Onozawa, but my ability was limited, and I ended up going the wrong way, and I couldn't sustain the lives of my men without attacking the city, destroying houses, and looting food and property. I knew that I had gone astray, and although I regretted it, the more and more people under my command gathered, and I couldn't turn back. ”

Wu Xian said: "I know, fish and bear's paws, you can't get both, I went out of the country of Lu, participated in political disputes, and fought fiercely with the Qi people, more often than not, not out of my wishes, but forced by the situation." If I want to trace my heart, I would prefer to travel with my wife and concubines and sisters, and ride in the plains. ”

The thief thought so: "However, the highest life expectancy in the world is 70 years old, the middle life expectancy is 50 years old, the low life expectancy is only 30 years old, and there are even minors who die young. The years of sickness, death, and sorrow, and the time of laughter and laughter are only four or five days in a month. Heaven and earth are infinite, and human life span is time-limited. I have heard Confucius say that the deceased are like Sifu, who are reluctant to give up their lives day and night, and place their lives in the infinite heaven and earth, and their rapid disappearance is like a thousand miles of good horses rushing through the cracks. ”

The shirtless fingers lightly tapped the wine case, life is in the world, the white horse passes by, and many philosophers will think hard but can't. But no one could have imagined that a thief who was murderous and feared and spurned by the scholars. He actually thinks about this ultimate question.

Probably because the thief was used to being a wild man on the bank of Onozawa since he was a child, and he was taken to Lucheng when he was a little older, and Liu Xia Ji instilled in him all kinds of etiquette and music rules caused by rebellion.

The thief sneered: "It's ridiculous that Kong Qiu obviously knows this, but he wants to use a limited time to restore the rule of Zhou Gong, who can't be returned. Once you figure it out, you will live in the temple of Lucheng and be a doctor who dies in bed for a long time; or entangled in the righteousness of the monarch and the minister. rashly and faithfully search for the dead; or those who seek power all their lives, but after death they are still the kings and princes in the grave, they are all ridiculous people. Traveling the world with a limited body, crisscrossing the world, and making my state of mind happy, this is the reason why I escaped from the prison in Lucheng, and the ambition I want to seek! ”

I see, like Zhuangzi, he would rather be a turtle dragging his tail and crawling in the mud of Onozawa. I don't want to be shelled and enshrined in the temple to make divination.

Wuxian sighed: "Zishi's ambition is great, I underestimated you before, speaking of which, in your eyes, I am probably unscrupulous in order to seek power, but after death, I am still a person with dry bones." ”

"Yes!" There was mockery in the thief's eyes: "Xiao Sikou is self-aware, although Jun behaves benevolently and filial piety in front of the world, and respects the virtuous corporal. But you are essentially no different from Yang Hu and Sanhuan. Although I call myself a thief, I am only stealing people's money and life. But you, little Sikou! It's the thief who steals the country! ”

From the capture of Zhencheng, to the reversal of the Yang Tiger, the attack on the group of thieves to obtain huge benefits, and finally the capture of the entire Xilu, which is enough to compete with Sanhuan, the thieves will see Zhao Wuxian's journey one by one.

The stolen foot is broken, and there is no mercy or annoyance: "Life is in the world." Bound by all kinds of relationships, in my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to do Zishi's state of mind like being happy. Those who steal the hook are punished, and those who steal the country are princes, and this is the way of the world today. Truth be told, I do have ambitions to steal Siru, and I want you to help me. ”

He stood up suddenly: "This is different from my original ambition, everything before was forced by you, why should I help you?" ”

Wuxian said indifferently: "Because I not only want to steal the country, but I also want to steal the hearts of the people!" ”

……

In February, this is the solar term of rain, peach and plum begin to bloom, orioles chirp, and eagles and birds become cuckoos.

The spring rain was as precious as oil, and the thin rain fell sparsely, dotting thousands of ripples on the surface of the lake, wetting the wooden fence of the dock and falling on the proud gentleman's bun and deep clothes, but it did not disturb the conversation between the two of them.

"I will also steal the frozen grain of the people of Onozawa, and steal the harsh tyranny imposed by the princes and doctors! Steal their descent as lowly as pigs and dogs! ”

Zhao Wuxian's words were full of passion, and he was stunned for a while.

"There is a saying called Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, Zishi has been in Onozawa for so many years, and you know the changes in Onozawa in the past six months. You keep saying that it is not your desire to plunder and rob, but for the sake of your people, and now I can do better than you, and I can be regarded as freeing you. “

The thief looked at the people in the distance who raised their arms and cheered at the spring rain. Indeed, after the half-starved group of thieves landed on the shore, they became Zhao Wuxian's household Qi people, distributed food and clothing under the jurisdiction of the good officials he dispatched, and reclaimed wasteland on the shore.

Like, just like a night of spring breeze, the ice of the past has melted one after another, disarming and returning to the field, casting swords into plowshares, isn't this the life that the people are looking forward to?

So the thief had to admit: "This is the difference between Xiao Sikou and other meat eaters, love like children, then the people return like flowing water, as long as you don't go against the grain, your wish to steal the country will definitely be achieved." ”

Wuxi's words became serious again: "It's not so easy, all this is unstable at the moment, Xilu and Pu Nan are not at ease, Qi and Wei are eyeing me outside, and Sanhuan hates to expel me immediately." Maybe it only takes a day and night, and all this will come to naught, and when the time comes, two-thirds of the tax of the Qi country, two and a half of the tax of the Lu country, the harsh punishment, and the suppression in the name of etiquette and music will return to everyone. I think Zishi probably doesn't want to see such a situation, so I hope you can help me fight against the princes and the three ......."

The thief hesitated: "Since Xiao Sikou knows my ambition, do you dare to appoint me?" A person like me will never condescend to the powerful, and will never be subject to the rites of the law. “

"I know, so I don't expect you to help me settle the country, as long as you help me clear the barriers, and the people you care about have me to take care of, then I can let you go to the world."

Zhao Wuxian can be regarded as thinking clearly, in the final analysis. The thief is an angry young man who talks about happiness on his lips, but he is compassionate in his heart and can't let go of things.

Sure enough, the thief's eyes lit up: "Is this true?" ”

"Of course, and you keep saying that you want to enjoy the rivers and lakes, but in fact you are confined to a corner of Onozawa. Although it is also forced by the situation and the concerns about the lives of the people under you, in fact, it is because you have no idea how big the world is! ”

The thief disagreed: "Could it be that Xiao Sikou knows?" ”

"I know." Wuxian is not humble at all, is there anyone in this world who knows better than him?

"Someone named Dayu to draw Yu Gong, divided into Xia, Chu, Wu and Shu for Kyushu: between the big rivers is Jizhou; between the Ji River is Yanzhou; The land of Haidai is Qingzhou; Hai, Dai and Huai are Xuzhou; Huai, Hai and Wu Yue are Yangzhou; The land of Jingchu is Jingzhou; Jingshan and Dahe are Yuzhou; Huayang and Heishui are Liangzhou; Heishui and Xihe are Yongzhou. I'm afraid your knowledge won't surpass this land of Kyushu. ”

The thief said: "Kyushu is already the limit of the eye, and he can't go through it in his life, in addition to this, it has been called the four foreign wastes since ancient times, is it possible that Xiao Sikou still knows more?" ”

"I know. The ancestor made his father from Mu Tianzi to the west and left a bamboo book...... Today, I will talk to you about it, what is the distance of the rivers and lakes, and the size of the world! ”

Although he is not good at chemistry, he still passes the geography test!

……

Wuxian's hand dipped in the wine, and drew the appearance of Yugong Kyushu on the desk, but outside, there were many blank spaces. There are oceans, there are islands. There are also stretches of continents.

It is recorded in the bamboo book that the so-called Chinese name is Chixian Shenzhou, and Chixian Shenzhou has its own Yugong Kyushu, as well as Dongyi, Nanman, Beidi, and Xirong. There are eight Shenzhou in Ruchi County outside China, a total of nine continents, and each continent is surrounded by the sea, mountains, and quicksand. The people and beasts are incompatible. The nine continents are united into the world, and outside the world, there is the Milky Way around, which is the time of heaven and earth. ”

"So the Kyushu as far as your eye can see is only one percent of the world!"

The thief listened a little sluggishly: "This. Is all this true? ”

Wuxian was amused in his heart, but he said very seriously on his face: "There is no lie, how big the Great Nine Continents is, my ancestors made fathers, and they have not been to the desolate land of the Western Regions from the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun." He looked further west at Xishanzhou through mountains and quicksands, and it is said that Jia, a merchant of the Yu branch who came to trade in Qin and Jin, said that there was a big country in Xishanzhou called Persia, and its ruler was called Cyrus and Darius, and he believed in the Vulcan Religion. Further west is the continent of Ctesi, with hundreds of small city-states collectively known as the Greek ......"

"As for the east, south, and north, those continents are not all known, only the people of Qi have been circulating overseas Penglai, Yingzhou, and abbots, which are ethereal and untraceable, maybe it is the edge of another continent."

Wuxian said very specifically, and the thief couldn't help but believe it, and he muttered to himself: "All of the above is really unheard of, but it is very troublesome, and it really makes me yearn for it......"

Seeing that these words of his own really suppressed the thief, he hit the railway while it was hot: "Zishi's ambition is to use his limited body to travel the world and crisscross the world, so that his mood can be happy." If you are willing to steal the country for me, I will fund your ships to go to the far east to see the true face of the Three Immortals Mountain. Or take a caravan to Persia in the far west, as well as the Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta to find out! ”

In the past, thieves have always regarded themselves very highly, and they only feel that they have a way to steal, they are happy to be revengeful, they can go wherever they want, and they despise those princes and doctors who are confined to temples and cities. Unexpectedly, today I knew that my eyes were so small, and my previous self-esteem was very high, in Zhao Wuxian's eyes, it might be like a microscopic worm fighting on a snail's horn.

So he bowed down a little distractedly: "I want to, but I don't know, what else can I do for Xiao Sikou now?" ”

Wuxian became serious again: "Although the people of Qi were defeated in the war, they were unable to recruit troops again to retaliate, but I got news from Taoqiu that the Marquis of Qi wanted to use the technique of the light and heavy of the pipe and the method of the sea king to make things difficult for Xilu in terms of cargo colonization, and I hope that Zishi can help me." ”

The thief was very puzzled: "This should be handed over to Xiao Sikou's subordinate merchant Jia Duanmuci to do it, I don't know about the matter of goods farming." ”

"Definitely." Zhao Wuxian lowered his voice: "This matter is not only up to the market, but also to the ships transporting goods on rivers and lakes......

PS: There is too little material about the theft, and the above is mainly through the "Zhuangzi. The brain of the "Thief Chapter" has been made up (to be continued.) )
