Chapter 69: The Wise Man Labors
Chen Sheng doesn't do things that he is not sure of. With Meng Yi's ability, at least all the Praetorian Guards have been collected at this time, and the suspicious county order in Pei County has been resolved, plus the mobility of the Praetorian Guards, it is definitely not a problem to rush to this place at this time.
"Are you really a student of Master Wei Yu?" Although Ling Suyun has lived in the remote area of Ba County for a long time, she is still very clear about the court officials. Although Wei Yu does not occupy any important official positions in the imperial court now, his words and deeds have a very far-reaching impact on the emperor, so no one can easily ignore this old man who is over eighty years old. Recalling her previous conversation with Chen Sheng, she seemed to remember Chen Sheng saying that he was a student of Wei Yu, and couldn't help but think of the old man she had seen outside Pengcheng that day. The old man's bearing was extraordinary, which impressed Ling Suyun deeply.
"yes." Chen Sheng licked his lips and said disapprerovingly. He knew that his teacher's prestige was far and wide, and he was already surprised by the reaction of others.
However, Ling Suyun did not look awe-struck, but frowned and said, "This is really strange, the students taught by Master Wei Yu are still desperate and ruthless. Ling Suyun shrugged her shoulders, very puzzled in her heart.
Hearing this, Chen Sheng was very dissatisfied. In Ling Suyun's eyes, his performance of wisdom and courage turned out to be a desperate effort, to put it bluntly, this is a reckless man. Chen Sheng said dissatisfiedly: "Am I working hard? If it weren't for my intellect, how could you be here? ”
Ling Suyun glanced at Chen Sheng with disdain, and seemed to be a little disdainful: "The wise man works hard, and the fool works hard." After a pause, Ling Suyun said: "Human power is limited, but wisdom is infinite, you are just a little clever, we are not lucky to be able to survive until now?" Ling Suyun sighed again and said: "Master Wei Yu is proficient in power and strategy, but the first think tank around the emperor, under his strategic manipulation, the empire smashed the alliance and encirclement of the six countries of Shandong, and caused internal strife and disputes in various countries, and smashed the will of the upper echelons of the empire for the empire. ”
Chen Sheng's eyes froze. Ling Suyun's words knocked on his heart. Not bad. When the teacher taught him to learn art, he basically only taught him some knowledge such as yang conspiracy, in addition, and it was about the national economy and people's livelihood to govern the country, for Chen Sheng's martial arts cultivation, Wei Yu just seized the time at the beginning, let Chen Sheng lay a good foundation, and then he didn't ask about it anymore, let Chen Sheng cultivate on his own. From this point, it can be seen that the teacher does not attach importance to personal force, and only needs to protect himself. Because powerful people, killing people and setting fires, how can they use themselves to go out in person?
Chen Sheng smiled bitterly, and suddenly found that his choice of life path seemed to have deviated from the original intention during this period of time. And the direction in which he deviated, Wei Yi did not correct it, and Chen Sheng was also very puzzled. After thinking about it, Chen Sheng remembered that it was not that the teacher did not object, but that the language he refuted was too advanced, and he used knowledge thousands of years away to refute the teacher, making it difficult for the teacher to argue. had to let Chen Sheng act according to his own temperament. Wei Yi turned a blind eye, not to ignore Chen Sheng, but to let Chen Sheng know that sometimes when the theory is put into practice, it will not be transferred according to the will. Because all of Chen Sheng's ideas need a big environment. That environment is thousands of years away, not in the present. After thousands of years, it is true that powerful businessmen are enough to influence the direction of a country's policy, but in the current world, it is absolutely not.
Just like the Ling family and the Wu family, although they are rich and rival the country and are more arrogant than the princes, they maintain great reverence for the imperial power, and they must show enough awe for the royal family. As long as the emperor speaks, their seemingly powerful family will be wiped out.
Chen Sheng was like an initiation, and a cold sweat broke out. If it weren't for Ling Suyun's unintentional words, he might have been lost on this road for a long time.
O wise man! He Chen Sheng wanted to be the one who commanded the knife, not the knife that served as a tool. And judging from tonight's performance, he Chen Sheng is just a knife, and he is also the guy who stupidly rushed out to be a tool. If you die in this place for no apparent reason, then everything will be lost!
"Miss Xie reminds!" Chen Sheng let out a breath of turbidity and bowed slightly to Ling Suyun.
Ling Suyun was stunned, when did this rascal become so polite. She didn't know that her words of ridiculing Chen Sheng for being reckless and competitive completely made Chen Sheng stabilize his mind and embark on another path.
"You're welcome." Ling Suyun thought back to what happened tonight, and knew that what he said was not quite correct, judging from the plan made by Chen Sheng, there should be no problem for him to leave this place by himself, just took her with him, and was trapped here. However, in a place surrounded by enemies, Chen Sheng was still so calm and composed, which was by no means comparable to a reckless man.
Xiang Liang walked anxiously on the city wall. What happened tonight made him feel very uneasy. A keen sense told him that maybe something big would happen tonight, but this place had been exposed, and there would be a large number of officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it? Xiang Liang shook his head, this Pei County Commander is a person from their side, if there is any trouble, there will be news from the county seat, and there will be no accidents. But what else could have made him more flustered?
"Send more manpower and increase the number of search and arrest personnel!" Xiang Liang said fiercely: "Send another scout team to look for the missing patrol members outside and see what happened!" Xiang Liang finally felt that it was not a way to sit back and die, anyway, he knew that even if this place was exposed, it would not be easy to catch him, as long as he retreated to the boat by the river, even if he was surrounded by 100,000 troops, it would be difficult to capture him. Everyone knows that the empire does not have a decent sailor at all.
When Xiang Liang's order was issued, Chen Sheng and Ling Suyun were secretly happy in their hearts. Due to a shortage of personnel, they had to select men from the city guards, and the two took the initiative to say that they were skilled in riding, so they were incorporated into the scouts.
This is the perfect opportunity to escape. Chen Sheng and Ling Suyun's heartbeats both increased slightly. The night was dark, and the camp was already in chaos, and no one noticed that the two guards were all fresh faces.
