Chapter 4: The Soldier's House
Su Qin and Su Dai struggled to get up from the ground, Zhang Yi stood on the grass with his arms slumped, and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the previous moment of shock, my heart is still worried.
Su Qin thought: "Thanks to the rescue of this young man in Tsing Yi in front of me, otherwise he would have died in Huangquan today." So, he bowed down and bowed to the governor and thanked: "Thanks to the rescue of the son, I am very grateful, and he will thank the son again in the future." ”
The boy in Tsing Yi looked at the three of them, and the scene at this time was really unbearable: Su Qin's thighs were exposed, the clothes on Zhang Yi's body were shredded into strips of cloth, and Su Dai was like a bloody man.
He pursed his lips and smiled, and replied to them, "It's a trivial matter, and I don't dare to say thank you." I don't know who the three sons are? How can you fight with people here? ”
Su Qin was dressed and replied respectfully, "We are the disciples of Mr. Guigu. I am Su Qin, this is my junior brother Zhang Yi. He pointed to Su Dai and introduced: "This is Su Dai, the younger brother." ”
Su Qin continued: "Master was in retreat recently, and we went down the mountain to wander, but we were ambushed by the man in black on the way back, so we were in this mess. Shame shame shame! ”
When the boy in Tsing Yi heard that he was a disciple of Mr. Guigu, his face changed, and he hurriedly reported to the old man in the sedan chair. The old man hurriedly ordered the sedan chair man to move forward, he walked up to the three people, lifted the sedan curtain, leaned over to inspect the injuries of the three people, and asked with a solemn face: "Do you know who injured you?" How is Mr. Guiya now? ”
Su Qin truthfully explained what happened, and as for Mr. Guigu's safety, he said that he didn't know either.
After Su Qin explained the situation, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Sheng dares to offend and ask for advice, who is Your Excellency?" What is the noble reason for driving in this barren mountain? ”
The old man glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi and motioned for him to answer, and the young man in Tsing Yi clearly introduced the identity and intention of the group.
After the young man in Tsing Yi patiently explained the situation of his group to Su Qin, Zhang Yi and Su Dai, Su Qin and the others were shocked.
The old man sitting in the sedan chair turned out to be the world-famous military master Sun Bin.
For more than 30 years, Sun Bin led the Qi army to set up ambushes in Guiling and Maling, and defeated the elite soldiers and strong generals of Wei twice, making Pang Juan, the general of Wei, commit suicide in shame.
After these two serious defeats, the Wei State, which was strong in the early Warring States period, has been in a state of collapse since then, and the situation in the world has changed. He is a figure who changes the situation in the world, seemingly not amazing, but has amazing talent and ability.
Sun Bin Yuan is also Mr. Guigu's apprentice, who became an apprentice in his twenties and has never had the opportunity to surrender to his master. This time, he heard that Mr. Guigu lived in seclusion in Yunmeng Mountain, so he came to see him despite the fatigue of the journey. On the one hand, he hoped to see Master again in his old age, and on the other hand, he also wanted to discuss confidential matters with Master.
Although Sun Bin is the military advisor of the Qi State, he insists on hiding it deeply, and the world rarely sees his true face. This time, he tried to reduce his entourage as much as possible, but King Qi Xuan was worried about Sun Bin's safety, so he still sent Tian Ming, the son of the clan with excellent martial arts, to lead more than 30 imperial guards to protect him.
Su Qin and the others had only heard of Sun Bin's name in legends before, but today they unexpectedly saw a real person, how could they not be surprised! After listening to Tian Ming's introduction, they hurriedly ignored their physical injuries, bowed to the ground, and said: "I don't know the senior brother's respect, it's rude." ”
Sun Bin raised his hand to signal Su Qin and the others to stand up, and then called Tian Ming to him, and instructed Tian Ming to take out the wound herbs and apply medicine to Su Qin and the others to treat their injuries. After treating their wounds, the group got up and headed towards the Lonely Pavilion on the bank of the clear stream.
Sun Bin didn't talk to Su Qin and the others all the way, he was preoccupied. Su Qin, Tian Ming and other young juniors didn't know the profound intention of King Qin to send someone to kidnap Mr. Guigu, but how could he not be aware of Qin Guo's intentions.
He was in charge of the military of Qi for many years, and he had insight into the situation that the Qin State had already formed a strong and dominant situation in the world at this time, and if the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Han in the east still did not wake up, it was likely to eventually become a situation of encroachment and ruin.
What Qin was most afraid of was that the eastern princes would join forces to resist Qin, so they were very concerned about Mr. Guigu's vertical and horizontal skills. Sun Bin thought to himself: "The Qin State has taken the initiative to attack, and the situation is becoming more and more urgent. ”
Tian Ming always remembered Gao Sheng's sword, and he didn't know what kind of treasure it was, and thought: "If I have it, how majestic it is." Sun Bin is well-informed, maybe he knows some clues, right? He wanted to ask Sun Bin for advice several times, but when he saw Sun Bin deep in thought, he didn't dare to speak rashly.
It was almost evening, Su Qin and Sun Bin and their party came to the Lonely Pavilion. The mountains and green onions here, the scenery is beautiful, and it is really a fairyland on earth.
A thousand-foot high cliff faces from the south to the north, and a clear stream flows from west to east. The Lonely Pavilion is built along the mountain and against the rock wall, only two stories high, small but very delicate. Beneath the pavilion, the stream alluvializes a flat land, on which the crops are planted luxuriantly; The fields are mixed with peach, plum, apricot and other fruit trees, and the fruits are heavily bent on the branches; A courtyard is nestled in the middle of a field.
For the first time, Tian Ming saw that there was such a wonderful place in the inaccessible mountains, and he couldn't help but admire. Sun Bin also came here for the first time, when he went out of the mountain, the master was still living in another place, and saw that he was now living in seclusion with the wind and water, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the countryside was beautiful. How fast the masters and apprentices feed themselves! Sun Bin also sighed.
When Sun Bin followed Mr. Guigu to learn art, Mr. Guigu was in middle age. He traveled to study in the Xihe of the Wei State, and was determined to apply the study to the world, advocating "taking advantage of the trend", adapting to the new world, and changing to become strong. At that time, Xihe gathered a large number of scholars such as Zixia and Tian Zifang, forming the "Xihe School" based on Confucianism.
Mr. Guiya delved into the art of war, intending to determine the world with strong soldiers, but he was not taken seriously. It wasn't until the apprentices Pang Juan and Sun Bin came out of the mountain successively that the two staged a thrilling "Sun Da Huge Battle", which made Mr. Guigu's doctrine famous all over the world.
However, there is always a paradox in the world: Mr. Guigu originally wanted Pang Juan and Sun Bin to assist Wei to pacify the world, but because Pang Juan was jealous of his ability, Sun Bin later turned into Sun Bin who switched to Qi and helped King Qi Wei defeat Wei, and Qi dominated the princes, and Wei's fortunes declined from then on.
When Sun Bin came to the master's retreat, he was about to see the master, and he was a little excited. More than 30 years of past 30 years appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel sad from it, and it was difficult to suppress the faint sentimentality.
Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others were very familiar with this place, they walked in front of the team with injuries, and the group followed the path in the field and came to the Lonely Pavilion.
