"Who!"

The incident happened suddenly, Qi Wan, the guard beside Zhao Wuxian, was shocked, and stepped forward to draw his sword to protect the monarch, but was stopped by Zhao Wuxian's outstretched arm.

Zhao Wuxian looked up and saw the appearance of the person on the tree clearly.

The man was squatting on the thick branches, reaching for the pears among the yellow leaves, and gnawing on them, and there were already many cleanly eaten pear pits under the pear tree......

Are the villagers who came to eat pears? No, the elders of the township just now bowed when they saw the grass house, and the rest of the villagers mentioned Mr. Xin, who was more respectful than mentioning their old lord Jun Leqi, and would not easily cross the bridge to disturb him, and would never dare to be so rude.

So, is it Ji Ran himself?

Although people with strange talents must have strange personalities, when it came to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, this situation reached its peak, and the celebrities and hermits were all non-mainstream and liked to play some performance art. It is understandable for Ji Ran to do this kind of thing at his own doorstep, but it is very different from the delicate and patient economist in Zhao Wuxian's mind, but it is like ......

I used to order such a crazy person!

So Zhao Wuxian stepped forward and saluted the person who was gnawing pears on the tree: "Dare to ask, but Mr. Xin Wenzi?" ”

He was sincere in his attitude and humble in tone, and to treat a scholar who was not yet famous in such an capacity could be described as a highly courteous corporal.

But the man in the tree stopped eating, and after a long pause, he burst out laughing, and then jumped down after the long laugh had stopped.

Everyone under the tree couldn't help but take a few steps back, but they saw the big sleeves flying, like a feather fluttering, but it was a middle-aged man. I saw that he was long, sparse, and wearing a pair of broken shoes. The wide kudzu shirt was tattered, and the patches were one in the east and one in the west.

Displaced people from outside?

Take another look. The man dressed like a homeless man was about forty years old, and his hair was unkempt. The facial features are clear, and a pair of eyes are clear like a god. At first glance, it looks very sloppy, but when you take a closer look, there is a breath of Tsinghua that can't be concealed by rags and shoes, and can't help but overflow.

He stepped on a pear pit and asked proudly, "Who are you?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, it turned out to be the standard Cheng Zhou Yayin, and Zhao Wuxian said in his heart: "Even if this person is not calculated, he is also a good person, I heard that China is rude." Studying in the four fields, there are quite a few wanderers hidden in the wilderness in this era, and I can't judge people by their appearance. ”

So he stepped forward and continued to salute: "In Xia Naile's in-laws, the son of Zhao Qing of the Jin Kingdom, the small Sikou Zhao of the Lu State, and the name of Mr. Xin for a long time......"

The wanderer stretched out his little thumb and plucked out his ears: "I am clumsy, I can't read nobles, and my ears are deaf, so I can't remember such a long name." However, the name of Zhao Xiaosikou of Lu Guo seems to have been heard. ”

The other party behaves strangely, and it's not easy to deal with......

At this moment, a gust of autumn wind blew, and the wanderer couldn't help but shiver. Zhao Wuxian was inspired and said, "Ji Qiu is cold, but Mr. is thinly dressed. I also hope to smile at the boy's fur ......"

Then he took off his bearskin fur and offered it. The guards and entourage behind him were all moved, and they had long heard of Corporal Si Ko Lixian. And so it was.

The wanderer stepped on the pear core on the ground, took it unceremoniously with a smile, put it on, and continued to reach into his ragged clothes to look for lice, while squinting his eyes and asking, "I don't know why Zhao Xiaosikou came here?" ”

"The kid is here to visit Mr. Xin Wenzi......"

The wanderer found a lice, threw it into his mouth and bit it fiercely, looked at everyone and frowned, and then continued: "Visit? I don't like to talk nonsense either, so why don't you come to ask someone to go out of the mountain and go to your territory to be a ruler? ”

Zhao Wuxian thought to himself, such a straightforward hermit doesn't like hypocritical people who go around the bend the bend, and it would be better for me to make it clear directly.

"However, the Song Kingdom is in turmoil, and the Quartet is disturbed, so the kid wants to see Mr. Xin and seek a strategy to stabilize the country......"

"Hahaha!" Before he finished speaking, the wanderer who seemed to be Ji Ran burst into laughter, and regardless of the glamorous bear fur still on his body, he rolled directly to the ground, beating his chest and feet, and laughed out of his nose and tears.

The guards and entourage behind him were furious, but Zhao Wuxian didn't think he was angry: "Why is Mr. laughing? ”

The wanderer had enough laughter, and Fang Caiji sat down on the fallen leaves and said, "Because this is the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life." ”

His face suddenly became grim, and he pointed at Zhao Wuxian vigorously and said, "Song is not your mother state, and it is not your monarch's country, but you are concerned about this, not to mention that it is just because of the Sicheng Le clan." I heard that Zhao Xiaosikou was in charge of the alliance as a doctor in the Lu State, invading other people's cities and oppressing the Qing clan, which can be described as a wolf ambition. Now that he has entered the Song Dynasty, the purpose is either treachery or theft! Isn't this Song Kingdom disturbed by the princess Nanzi, Uncle Xiao, the fourth son, the Xiang brothers, and you Zhao Wuxian and other thieves who steal the country? Now you want to settle the country? Isn't it a great fallacy? ”

……

This accusation came extremely quickly, and everyone behind Zhao Wuxian was stunned for a while, and after reacting, they all wanted to draw their swords and slash the arrogant madman, and the man was not afraid, so he continued to sit still after speaking, picked up a pear and gnawed it again.

Zhao Wuxian stopped them again and said, "I didn't expect Mr. to look at me like this......"

The madman raised his eyebrows: "That's how I see it, how are you going?" ”

Meat eaters despise! As early as more than 100 years ago, there were quite a few people and scholars who had this view, and the more serious the collapse of etiquette and music, the closer they were to the world of the Warring States, the more people who regarded themselves very high and disdained princes.

This kind of social trend has both good and bad, and the good thing is that the minds are becoming more and more open and diverse, and the scholars have their own personalities and ideas, which eventually creates a hundred schools of thought. As for the disadvantages, it is that individuals can criticize the aristocracy, the life of the lords and monarchs is getting more and more difficult, and it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit talents......

Fortunately, Zhao Wuxian came from the later generations, he had the capacity to accommodate people, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Since this is the case, then I will explain it myself, so as not to misunderstand Mr." ”

"I don't want to explain much about what I did in Lu Guo, but I just want to say that everything is worthy of my heart, from the year before last to the present, the person who helped Lu Guo Sheji is a kid. If there is no me, then Yang Hu and other rebellious and seizing ministers do not know how many; If there is no me, the country of Qi will enter Lu. The livelihood of the Lu people suffered, and those who became subordinates of other countries did not know tens of thousands; If there is no me. The great plague that rampant in the capital will not be cured so quickly, and there are countless unjust souls in Artemisia; If there is no me. The state of Lu has already been defeated in Jiagu, and the monarch and Sanhuan will become the laughing stock of the world......"

The madman smiled: "Xiao Si Kou thinks very highly of himself, but it makes sense, but in the final analysis, you are still the same as Yang Hu, the master is virtuous and careful, and if you are not good, you will pretend to be a traitor and try it." Half of the foundations of Lu Hou and Sanhuan have been hollowed out by you, and now it is especially insufficient, and you have come to dig up the Song Kingdom again? ”

"This gentleman is misunderstood. The rebellion of the Song Kingdom, the kid was indeed an outsider before, I had no foundation in the Song Kingdom, and many things were uncontrollable, until Sicheng Le's family was in trouble, and my unmarried wife was besieged, so I had to come to help. As Mr. said, this turmoil was caused by careerists. However, Xing. The people suffered; Death, the people suffer. Since the kid is here, he also wants to return the Song State to a stable court, instead of the turmoil of the regime change in Liuqing. Even let the flames of war spread to this tranquil Pu Shang......"

"Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people are bitter ......" The madman lowered his head and silently recited it several times. Fu stood up, and his attitude was not so disrespectful.

"There aren't many meat eaters who recognize this. It seems that Xiao Sikou is also a wonderful person. He was amazed, and suddenly sang in a Chu accent: "Feng Xi Feng Xi!" The Decline of Ho De? The past cannot be admonished. Those who come can still be chased. That's it, that's it! Today's politicians are gone! ”

After finishing the song, he looked at Zhao Wuxian and sighed: "It's just that I'm rude, but since you are a young phoenix among people, why should you get involved in the conspiracy of the court and the troubled waters of the princes' conquest?" It is better to learn from the Yanling Jizi of Wu State, live a stable life, and ignore the troubles of the world. ”

"Limited by identity, I have to do it as a last resort, I can't do Ji Zha, I only want to cultivate myself and govern the country with a family, and contribute to the rise and fall of the world, and I hope that Mr. Xin Wenzi can give me some advice."

The madman laughed and said, "When did I say I was Xin Wenzi? ”

Zhao Wuxian was stunned: "Isn't it?" Isn't this the residence of Mr. Ji Ran? ”

"It's true that this is Fumiko's residence, but he, like me, likes to travel the world, and is not at home, I just came to find an old friend of his."

"Does the gentleman know where he went?"

The madman stretched: "Who knows? At this time, he either drove a boat to swim in the five lakes, or visited the hermit in Taihang, or looked for friends between Qilu and Qilu, or played the piano and chess in the mulberry pu, unpredictable, and did not know where to go. I also want to visit it, but I don't know where it is, and I don't have a bite to eat, so I can only come to nibble on this sour pear......"

Zhao Wuxian was a little disappointed, it turned out that he pounced on the air today: "When will he return?" ”

The madman yawned: "According to his usual routine, the return date is uncertain, if it is close, or three or five days, if it is far away, or three or five years......"

Zhao Wuxian was a little speechless, but he couldn't run in vain today, the person in front of him or Ji Ran's friend, as long as he stayed, he was not afraid that Ji Ran would not find him. So he invited the madman: "I don't know the name of Mr. yet, but now that there are soldiers, please come with me to Daicheng, and the boy will be treated with food and gentleness, and wait for Mr. Xin Wenzi to return, how is it?" ”

The madman shook his head like a rattle: "Don't go, don't go, I'd rather be a turtle with its tail in the grass but free, than be made into a tortoise shell bone and enshrined in the temple!" ”

"As for my name? Don't dare to insult the ears of the king, just a madman in Chudi! Si Kou, please come back, and there is no need to put me under house arrest to wait for the plan, if I see him, I will naturally tell him about today's events! ”

After he broke Zhao Wuxian's plan, he walked away in a ruthless manner, and walked towards the vegetable field outside Ji Ran's house, while pulling up the reeds with mud, he sang in an indistinct Chu Yan:

"There is a way in the world, and a saint becomes a saint; There is no way in the world, and saints are born. At this time, only the punishment is exempted. Blessing is light as a feather, and Mo Zhi knows it; The disaster is serious, and I don't know how to avoid it. It's already done, and it's all right! It's almost gone, and the ground is tending to be drawn! The sun is misty, and it doesn't hurt me! I walked in a curt, and it didn't hurt my feet. ”

Zhao Wuxian and the others returned to the stone bridge, and were about to beat their horses and leave, when they heard the madman singing, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, remembering the "Feng Xi Feng Xi" he sighed before, and suddenly remembered who this person was!

I am a madman in Chu, Feng Ge laughs at Kong Qiu.

Holding a green jade staff, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower.

Wuyue is looking for immortals, and it is good to enter the famous mountains in a lifetime!

The Chu madman who would sing to Confucius a few years later would actually be met by him here......

……

Time flies, half of Ji Qiu's September is over in the blink of an eye, Nanzi still has no news, but some people say that she was imprisoned on the high platform of Shangqiu Tong Palace, as for Ji Ran's side, Zhao Wuxian also sent people to investigate, but there was still no response, and even Chu Maniac was nowhere to be found.

After that, the war raged and the situation became more and more tense, so Zhao Wuxian was not able to "look at the thatched house three times", but on the eve of the decisive battle with the Zheng, Wei, and Song rebel coalition forces in Meng Zhu, someone took the initiative to come to the door.

"There is a man dressed as a fisherman outside the camp, who calls himself 'Fisherman', saying that there is news of Xin Wenzi and asks to see Si Kou!" (To be continued.) )
