Out of Luoyi City, Fang Jishi traveled non-stop day and night to catch up with Confucius. On the afternoon of the third day, I found out the whereabouts of Confucius.

Confucius and his party walked very slowly, and! Confucius asked Fang Zhong to mark along the way. So! It's easy to find.

On this day, Confucius found an inn to live in early. He also asked Fang Zhong to mark the official road, and from time to time asked Fang Zhong and Uncle Nangong Jing to go to the official road to check. As soon as you hear the sound of horses running on the official road, let the two of them come out to check.

Uncle Nangong Jing was very reluctant, and Fang Zhong was the opposite.

Fang Zhong was also in a hurry, did something happen to his father, why hasn't he chased him up yet? Heard! When crossing the Yellow River, the boat often capsizes, will my father suffer from capsizing?

After two days of chasing, Fang Jishi roughly knew: how many walks Confucius walked in a day. So! On the third day, he slowed down his pursuit and searched all the way.

Seeing a sign on the side of the official road, he rode to the inn. Fang Zhong happened to come out and bumped into him.

"Daddy!" Fang Zhong ran up in surprise like a child seeing his own mother and led his father's horse.

"Where's the gentleman?" Fang Jishi asked anxiously.

"The gentleman is in the inn, and he is already lying down!" Uncle Nangong Jing heard movement outside and also walked out. Hearing Fang Jishi ask, he said with some dissatisfaction.

"Lying down? So early? ”

"Sir is waiting for you all the way! Father! ”

Fang Jishi didn't speak, and walked quickly into the inn.

Uncle Nangong Jing followed behind and guided him up to the second floor.

Fang Zhong led the horse to the backyard, and a young man stepped forward to lead the horse. Fang Zhong was not at ease, and followed, and he did not leave until the young man tied the horse together and gave him high-quality fodder.

"This is my father's horse!" When Fang Zhong was leaving, he stuffed a few Eastern Zhou currencies and gave them to the young man.

The young man got the benefit, but he couldn't be happy.

Fang Jishi came to the upstairs room and was shocked when he saw Confucius leaning on the bed with blank eyes.

"You? What happened to you? ”

"Me?" Confucius saw that it was Fang Jishi who came, supported himself and sat up straight, and said, "I may be sick and dizzy!" The body is hot. ”

"You? What's wrong with you? Fang Jishi stepped forward and touched Confucius's forehead with his hand, and was immediately frightened. You? You've got a fever! Fast! Lie down! ”

Under the compulsion of Fang Jishi, Confucius had to lie down.

"You? Why are you here now? After lying down, Confucius asked with difficulty.

"It's hard to put into words!" Fang Cornerstone also stood up. Then he asked, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Why did you suddenly get sick? ”

Fang Jishi was very skeptical: Did something happen on the road? With Confucius's body, how could he be sick if he could eat two people's portions in one meal?

"Sir is sick?" Fang Zhong walked in and asked.

"Sir is sick, why don't you two know?" Fang Jishi glared at Fang Zhong and asked.

"Me? I don't know? Fang Zhong looked innocent.

"You two! I just know to sit in the carriage, regardless of the gentleman, right? Sir, in turn, drove you to the carriage as a coachman? You guys? ”

Seeing that Uncle Nangong Jing looked very bad at him, Fang Jishi didn't blame him anymore.

Who is Uncle Nangong Jing? He is the official 1 second generation of Lu State, and the second generation of Jiafu 1 is the second generation.

In the country of Lu! His father still treats him as a great god and still fears you, and these next-generation babies don't take you seriously at all.

"Daddy! We? We really don't know? Sir just fine! ......" Fang Zhong explained with an innocent expression.

"Big brother!" Confucius interrupted: "Don't blame the babies! I suddenly felt sick! Don't blame them! ”

"You rest!" Fang Jishi pulled Fang Zhong out of the room and closed the door. And then! Instructed Uncle Nangong Jing to find the innkeeper and ask the shopkeeper to invite a Lang Zhong for Confucius in the local area.

Although Uncle Nangong Jing is a half-grown child, he is very good at diplomacy and is willing to do this kind of thing.

Fang Jishi pulled Fang Zhong aside and asked him if anything had happened on the road.

Fang Zhong didn't dare to say anything, so he pulled his father outside to see that there was no one around, and then told him about the robbers he encountered on the road.

"Sir has murdered! ……”

"Did the gentleman kill someone?" When Fang Jishi heard this, he was shocked on the spot.

Although he is a historical illiterate, he still knows something, and there is no record in the history books that Confucius killed people. Moreover! It is the one who kills with his own hands.

Confucius did not kill with his own hands, but! But he killed indirectly. The robber who fell off the cliff died on the spot after falling off the cliff with his man and horse.

Afterward! His companions came and fetched his body and his horse. So! The people who passed by that section of the official road, as well as the messengers, spread the news.

When Confucius heard that the man was dead, he was frightened. He didn't mean to kill, but! In that case, justifiable defence is compelled. He doesn't want the other party to fall to his death, he only wants the other party to fall and get injured, and from then on he will abandon evil and follow good.

There were several robbers, and he took the initiative to stab each other, and he did not want to kill each other. If he had malicious intent and intended to kill, under the circumstances at that time, he could have killed the other party ruthlessly. But! He didn't do that.

The stabbing of the other party was only forced by the needs of the situation and out of legitimate defense.

Maybe? It was precisely because he heard that he had killed people that Confucius was frightened, and he was anxious, and he was caught by the wind and cold while driving the carriage, so he fell ill all of a sudden.

Hearing that he encountered robbers on the road, his son, Confucius, and Uncle Nangong Jing almost died, Fang Jishi blamed himself.

But? I can't blame him for this! He is only one person, and he has no doppelganger. If you can take care of Confucius, you can't take care of King Zhou Jing's side.

After learning what happened, Fang Jishi came to the room and prepared to apologize.

Back in the room, Confucius was already in a coma with a high fever, and his eyes were blank, like a man who was about to die. Seeing this, Fang Jishi was frightened on the spot.

I have seen those who are suddenly ill, but I have never seen such a sudden illness, and they will fall.

OK! After a while, Uncle Nangong Jing invited Lang Zhong from the local area under the introduction of the innkeeper.

While applying a cold compress to Confucius, Lang Zhong boiled a dose of decoction and fed it, and Confucius's condition was stabilized.

"What's wrong with him?" Fang Jishi asked Langzhong.

Lang Zhong examined it carefully again, and said, "The patient can be in a hurry, plus overwork, and exhausted, before he falls ill." It's okay! After a few days of rest, you'll be fine. ”

"I'm fine! It's okay! Confucius seemed to hear Fang Jishi asking Lang Zhong about his condition, and said inarticulately.

"Alas! Why do you think you're in such a hurry? If something happens to you, how can I go back and report to the Qi Guan's family? Xiang Lu Gong and Doctor Ji are on their errands? You? ”

"Me? I? Confucius thought about it, but still said, "I was wrong! Eldest brother! ”

Of course! This is his contrary to his heart, not the truth.

In his heart, he is still firm! Walk! Leave Lao Tzu and do not accept Lao Tzu's Taoism!
