Bidding farewell to South Korea, Qu Ling and the others did not dare to stay for a while, and went straight to the Western Zhou, judging from the current situation, it is already half of the success. Urging South Korea to maintain neutrality will not only not violate the interests of South Korea, but also ensure the security of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. However, the wronged leader of the Western Zhou Dynasty sat down this time.

Thinking of this, Qu Ling, who was still galloping on horseback, not only laughed out loud.

"Miss! What are you laughing at? Meng Shuo followed and asked suspiciously.

"Nothing! I just think that this Western Zhou Jun is too wronged! Qu Ling replied.

"Miss, what do you mean? Didn't we just come out of Korea? Why did it get to Xi Zhoujun again? Meng Shuo's doubts always existed, and he kept asking.

"Oops! All right! Don't ask, you'll understand when the time comes. Let's keep going! Driving...", waving the whip in his hand, the horse shook off its hooves and went away because of the whipping.

The Central Plains in autumn was originally the busy season of the autumn harvest. Years of war have long caused this land to lose its former color, and her life has become rough because of too much killing.

The barren farmland, the scorched dead trees, you can see that not long ago, there was a great war here, and flocks of crows were wailing on the dead trees on the edge of the ground. There are also flags that have not had time to be packed up when they retreat in a hurry, and they are still waving in the wind in the farmland.

Packs of wild dogs, running back and forth, not afraid of the crowd in front of them. The red eyes make people shudder.

Although it is a blue sky and a white day, there are no people everywhere, which always makes people feel a little different.

Qu Ling Pegasus came to the high hill at the top of the field, and when he looked at it from afar, he could not see the farmers ploughing at all, and the villages in the distance were dilapidated, and it seemed that there had been no people for a long time.

"After walking so far, why haven't you even seen a farmer farming?" Qu Ling asked Meng in confusion.

"It's not the result of years of war, the common people can't survive, either they die on the battlefield, or they flee to the mountains, who else will stay here to farm." Meng Shuo said as he tightened the reins in his hand, the horse raised its head high, its front hooves off the ground, stopped advancing in an instant, and stood on top of the high post with Qu Ling.

The accompanying guards quickly dispersed and remained vigilant.

"Let's rest for a while, find some forage for the horses, and rest for a while before walking." Meng said to order his guards.

Most of these people are carefully selected warriors by Yangchengjun, and their physical fitness is excellent, so it is not a problem to run this way. It's just a long way, if you don't care for the horses, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the Western Zhou, but you will miss something.

The Analects. There is a small story recorded in "Zi Lu".

'Zi Xia is the father of Ju and asks about politics. Zi said: There is no desire for speed, and there is no small profit. If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and if you see small profits, you can't do big things. ’

Blindly seeking speed, while ignoring the objective law of the development of things, not only can not achieve the goal quickly, but will take more detours.

Mozi studied under Confucius and was deeply influenced by Confucian culture, so he was naturally familiar with the Confucian classics. Meng said that after seeing the horses galloping quickly, he was somewhat tired, so he hurriedly named his subordinates and dismounted to rest.

Seeing this, Qu Ling hurriedly stopped:

"Deacon Meng, no! I'm afraid I'm going to miss a big deal if it's late? We must get to the West Week before sunset! ”

"Hahaha... Miss don't panic, if you don't rest now, you will definitely not be able to reach Xizhou before sunset, if you take a break for a while, before sunset, you can definitely arrive! Meng Shuo jumped off his horse, stood on the ground, pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, and pulled the reins of Qu Ling with the other, and said.

"Why is that? Deacon Meng! Why is it that if you delay the time, you can arrive early, but if you don't delay the time, you can't arrive? Qu Ling asked Qi Meng suspiciously.

"Come on! Come here, I'll tell you a story, and I think you'll understand. Meng said while beckoning everyone to sit down.

Most of the children of the Mo family are the lower classes of toiling people, so the learning between them is mostly in the fields, whether it is a fisherman or a woodcutter who chops wood, everyone sits together, discusses with each other, and learns the essence of the Mo family.

The Mohists pay attention to practicality, and the nature they learn is closely related to everyone's life, and it is not a high-flying spring and white snow.

The language used is naturally not difficult to understand, but is approachable and easy to understand, which will attract many followers.

"Many years ago, I made a living by chopping firewood and selling firewood at home, and I heard that the price of a load of firewood in Linzi City was much higher than that of the market next to my house. So the next day I went into the mountains early to chop firewood, and I cut a lot of firewood.

But when I was only concerned with chopping wood, and by the time I remembered that I was going to Linzi, the sun had already begun to set in the west, and the evening smoke was wrapped around the branches of the big trees. I hurriedly tied the chopped wood with rattan, carried it, and hurried to Linzi City.

When I met an old man on the way, I quickly asked the old man, 'Uncle, are you still in time to catch up with the city gate open?' ’

The old man carefully looked at the wood on my back, and said to me, 'Go slowly, the city gate will still be open, if you are still in such a hurry, the city gate will be closed.'

At that time, I was very unhappy and a little angry, thinking that he was teasing me, so I ignored what he said and hurried to Linzi City.

When he was still a few hundred meters away from the city gate, he suddenly tripped over a stone on the ground. The firewood on my back fell to the ground, and the rattan that bound the firewood became dilapidated because I ran all the way.

When I had tied up the firewood again, I looked up and saw that the gates were already closed.

Facing the closed gates, I suddenly remembered the old man's words, and suddenly I woke up. There are too many people in the world who are too impatient to find a place to live when it gets dark, let alone sell the firewood in their hands. ”

Meng said and looked at Qu Ling, Qu Ling seemed to understand something, nodded incessantly, and then said:

"Deacon Meng, I understand, the giant once said, 'If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and if you see a small profit, it is difficult to achieve a big thing', don't rush to the road, if the horse has three long and two short, it won't be able to reach the Western Zhou."

"Yes! Miss, this Han Hou has already made a guarantee, so we naturally don't have to rush west. "Just now Meng said that he had already understood more or less along the way, Qu Ling and the plan of the Eastern Zhou Tianzi, although Qu Ling didn't say it, Meng said how much he had already guessed.

Some people react quickly and are quite quick, and some people are a little slower, but they are more perfect and have a long time considering things. Inches are short, each with its own merits.

Everyone rested, and the wild dogs in the distance smelled the smell of the living, and it could be seen that they hadn't eaten for a long time. Screaming and gathering, the dogs in the distance may have received the message of 'dinner' and kept moving closer to this side. Hungry dogs are overwhelming, whistling along the horizon.

The neighing and frightened cries of the horses interrupted the conversation.

"It's not good, there is a situation, everyone prepare." Meng Shuo jumped up as he spoke, and Yang Chengjun's subordinates also quickly pulled out the Wu hook on their waists, gathered together, and surrounded Qu Ling inside.

"Get out of the way, don't surround me, I can protect myself." Qu Ling said stubbornly, because at this time she felt that she had grown up and did not need the protection of others.

The crowd wanted to ride away, but it was too late, and the roar of the vicious dogs frightened the horses, which were already difficult to control, and besides, the vicious dogs that pounced on them from all sides had cut off the retreat in all directions.

A pair of murderous and greedy eyes, step by step! Mixed with the neighing of horses, the roar of vicious dogs, and the incessant chirping of crows in the distance, a dangerous aura lingered over everyone's heads for a moment.
