Chapter 288: The Garland Effect

When Su Qin and Zhang Yi heard that Sun Bin's relics were missing, their palms were sweaty due to nervousness. Sun Ling is also quite embarrassed when he talks about this past, and said: "I guess it was taken by someone close to me, and it was clear to your master, he told me not to worry, look for it slowly, and hand it over to you after I find it." ”

Su Qin also felt that Sun Ling's analysis was reasonable, and only then did he understand in his heart: "Why did Master Guigu pretend to be mysterious at the beginning, it turned out that these items had disappeared inexplicably, so it was impossible to predict whether they could be passed on to the apprentices." ”

His eyes widened and he listened carefully to Sun Ling's continued speech, Sun Ling sighed and said, "Tian Tong, as the official secretary of Qi State, presided over Mr. Sun Bin's funeral and is very familiar with Sun's mansion. Moreover, he also had some ambitions, and he was concerned about Mr. Sun's relics, so I expected that the criminal Tian Tong was the most likely at that time. ”

Tian Tong, as Sun Ling's disciple, conspired to usurp and ruined, so Sun Ling felt disdainful, and when he talked about Tian Tong, he was inevitably angry and ashamed.

Su Qin and Zhang Yi knew that Sun Ling and Tian Tong were not all the way at all, but they didn't care about anything. Sun Ling paused and continued: "Since the relics were stolen, I secretly searched the Tiantong Mansion, and almost searched the corners and corners of the Tiantong Mansion. But it has not been found. On the contrary, it was Tian Tong's preparation for plotting and usurping, so that I could see it clearly. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he immediately understood why Sun Ling's father and daughter suddenly appeared in Tian Tong's mansion, and it was not because they had already understood everything about Tian Tong. Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but interject: "I see. ”

Seeing that Su Qin would come to his senses, Sun Ling nodded to him and said, "Yes, many things were deliberately arranged by the old man, such as leaving a letter for Mr. Su's flying knife. ”

"Oh, why didn't I think it was the old-timers who deliberately warned me. Blame Su Qin for being stupid, thank you seniors for saving me. Su Qin hurriedly bowed down to Sun Ling and thanked him.

Sun Ling also waved his hand to Su Qin to excuse himself as he did to Zhang Yi just now, and he said: "At the banquet that day, the old man hid on the roof beam of the Tianfu hall, originally to expose Tian Tong's conspiracy and rescue the King of Qi. But there was an unexpected bonus, that is, at the end of the top beam, a brocade box was found. Among them are the relics of Mr. Sun Bin and a handwritten letter from Mr. Guigu. ”

Su Qin and Zhang Yi were both glad for Sun Ling's unexpected discovery, and said in their hearts: "God really pays off, and getting the original back can be regarded as a very natural fate." ”

Sun Ling looked at Su Qin, then at Zhang Yi, shook the silk book in his hand, and said solemnly: "Mr. Sun Bin's relic is this book on the art of war, and I can give it to you now." But Mr. Guiya's handwriting is still not yet timely. Mr. Guiya was clever, he had anticipated the possible situation, so he made arrangements in advance. The old man can't say it now, please understand. ”

Su Qin and Zhang Yi looked at each other, not knowing how to reply to Sun Ling, the two made eye contact and nodded to each other.

Finally, Su Qin expressed his opinion: "Since it is the arrangement of Master Guigu, how can we go against his old man's will, that handwritten letter will be collected by the seniors, and when it will be handed over to us, the old-timers will decide." ”

Seeing that they had no objections, Sun Ling happily handed over the silk book to Su Qin, as for the handwriting of Mr. Guigu he mentioned, he did not show it to Su and Zhang from beginning to end.

Su and Zhang have both studied with Guiguzi for many years, and of course they deeply admire his wisdom and judgment. However, they couldn't help but be very curious about what the content of the handwritten book was, and since then it has also left them with a huge mystery.

After Sun Ling explained clearly, he didn't stay for a moment, he immediately got up to meet his daughter Xiaoyaozi, and the group left the Hongxi Inn. Su Qin asked where Sun Ling's father and daughter went, only to learn that they were staying in the mansion where Sun Bin originally lived.

Ning Jun had the intention to go with Sun Ling and his future mother-in-law Xiaoyaozi and others at this time, but he was afraid that Su Qin and others would laugh at him for having a fiancΓ©e, so he forgot his mission and neglected his best friend, so he chose to stay.

After sending Sun Ling's father and daughter away, on the way back to the Hongxi Inn, Su Qin pulled Zhang Yi aside, and the two discussed how to deal with his senior brother Sun Bin's art of war silk book. After the end, it was agreed that it would be placed at Su Qin's place first, and Su Qin would transcribe a copy, and then hand over the new book to Zhang Yi.

Su Qin remembered that he had asked for Zhang Yi's title in front of King Qi, so he told Zhang Yi that King Qi wanted to crown him as the doctor of Qi State. Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly bowed down and hugged her fists to thank Su Qin.

Zhang Yi asked Su Qin: "Then has Senior Brother Su's wish come true?" How can the King of Qi reward you? ”

Su Qin told the truth and made it clear that the king of Qi would officially hold a ceremony to worship the seal three days later. Su Qin found that Zhang Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed again at this time.

He thought to himself: "Is it that Senior Brother Zhang is not happy to learn that his title is not as good as mine?" ”

Su Qin explained again and said: "My title was set a long time ago, and the king of Qi presided over the debate of the Heaven and Earth Banquet on the Shangsi Festival, and I refuted the scholars under Ji, and he promised to give me such a title and unite the eastern princes to resist Qin." ”

Zhang Yi lowered his head and said "um", Su Qin found that his mood was not particularly refreshing, so he comforted him again: "The name is false, whether we can really unite the princes is real, there are still Wei, Chu, Han and other countries have not yet been decided, we still have a chance." ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he tried his best to calm down the disappointment and unhappiness in his heart, before he slowly raised his head, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Senior Brother Su doesn't need to be persuaded, I naturally understand in my heart that I started a little late, so I am lagging behind you everywhere." ”

Su Qin and Zhang Yi went out of the mountain at the same time, left the seclusion, and traveled the world, at first at a starting line, everyone had nothing.

walked separately, but a few years later, the two people had a difference in identity, and they naturally felt a little awkward when they thought about it. Moreover, they are all engaged in the same kind of work.

At this time, Zhang Yi had a faint feeling that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to achieve the same status and achievements as his senior brother Su Qin on the road of cooperation. Just because life is alive, we have to succumb to a "garland effect", the more garlands you have, the more garlands you can get, and those who are already few often struggle with difficulties and need to find another way.

Anyway, Su Qin is a senior brother after all, and he can have such an achievement, and he has already served as the secretary of state of Yan, Zhao, and Qi, which can be regarded as the initial realization of Master Guigu's teachings. Although I feel that Zhang Yi's own talent has not been recognized to match it, but, logically speaking, it should also be celebrated for Senior Brother Su Qin.
