Chapter 4: The Position of Tian Yuan
Mao and Qiu trembled almost at the same time and came back to their senses. Qiu looked at Peng Yu'er standing in the middle of them in a daze. The jade pot in her hand had already smashed to the ground, her face was red and white for a while, and tears were rolling in her eyes. After a long time, she whispered: "Senior brother, my husband invited you to be a guest, and the guest is strong and does not deceive the master, this is a courtesy." He is a junior brother, I am a junior sister, for the elder not to bully the young, this is humane. Master knows that he will not want to see you like this. ”
Qiu looked at the little junior sister in front of him, and memories were churning in his mind. When he was a teenager, he also quarreled with Mao from time to time, and even fought with him. At the beginning, it was a competition of swordsmanship and archery, and every time it was difficult to solve, it was the little junior sister who blocked the middle to prevent them from continuing. Later, it was the infighting in the middle palace of the Divine Hall, and later the skills deepened, and the differences became deeper, sometimes even the master couldn't feel that they were fighting, but the little junior sister whose skills were far inferior to the two could always be found and stopped at the first time. Perhaps, without the little junior sister, he and Mao would have been difficult to survive as early as when they were young, and they would not have broken up until the master died. But perhaps, without the little junior sister, he and Mao would not be so incompatible. Mao's thoughts and actions are despised by him, just as Mao looks down on him as much. But he can tolerate so many people who want to be left, why can't he tolerate it?
Because he's the only bad guy who can match himself. Even if other people are ugly, they are not their opponents, and they cannot stop their great cause of educating the world. Only Mao can destroy everything, everything he says and does is obviously wrong, but it can make people believe. Such a person cannot be tolerated by himself, nor can he tolerate it. Qiu defended himself in his heart, which had nothing to do with the little junior sister. Although on the day Mao and Peng Yuer got married, he went away and woke up drunk, but this is not the real reason why he hates Mao, it must not be.
Qiu raised his hand and shouldered flat, meticulously said goodbye, and turned to leave. Behind him panted and trembled slightly, half angry, half frightened. Although the battle was over before it began, the dark clouds that covered the sky made him breathless. Over the years, Qiu's strength has become more and more unfathomable. It seems that if you want to win, you can only take risks.
Peng Yu'er stepped over the debris on the ground, sat on the edge of the bluestone platform, looked at the fragrant golden carp on the table, and didn't say a word, not knowing what she was thinking. Mao hesitated for a moment and sat down: "He doesn't eat, let's eat." I'll have another pot of wine boiled. ”
Peng Yu'er said lightly: "He's going to find King Lu, you don't have time to eat this fish." ”
Mao looked at his wife's eyes in surprise: "You have sneaked into his heart? impossible, I am not sure, I may not be worse than him in attack, but speaking of defense, Master said that Kong Qiu is the genius he has encountered for the first time in hundreds of years." “
Peng Yuer looked at the carp on the table: "That's because he has a strong belief in his heart, and etiquette is his faith." No matter how much he desires, it can't conflict with etiquette. Even if I could enter his temple, I wouldn't be able to find out what he was thinking. “
Mao said suspiciously: "But you are sure that he will go to King Lu." He has been in the country of Lu for so long, and he has never gone to find King Lu. ”
Peng Yuer's face did not fluctuate, but there was a little more hazy in her eyes: "I guess." Growing up, I guessed his mind, and I never guessed it. You don't need to use Flying Souls. ”
Mao glanced at Peng Yu'er, didn't say anything, stood up and walked out, and when he arrived at the gate of the garden, he turned around and said, "I won't lose to him." ”
However, Peng Yuer didn't look at him, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and began to eat the fish. It was already dark, and the water vapor from the lake covered her faintly, like a dream.
Mao hurriedly rushed to the palace of King Lu, he knew that although Qiu had not asked to see Lu Dinggong after arriving in Lu State, Lu Dinggong had already known the news of Kong Qiu's opening of the altar to give lectures. I also asked in the court several times. He hurriedly set up an altar to speak, also in order to suppress Qiu's momentum and let Lu Dinggong understand that he was the more talented party. If Qiu took the initiative to ask Lu Dinggong to see him, then Lu Dinggong would definitely see him. Few people could not be more impressed by Qiu's demeanor, and that could not be more clear. And once Lu Dinggong identified Qiu, he occupied the position of Tian Yuan in this game of chess, and it was difficult for him to win.
He had to stop the meeting from going smoothly, at least, he had to be there. This is related to who the future of the country and even the world belongs to, or rather, what kind of people do they belong to.
Yan Hui was very strange and didn't understand why the teacher was suddenly in a hurry to see King Lu, but he still wrote the letter of request seriously. Kong Qiu glanced around, and the people who had gone out to listen to Shao Zhengmao's lecture during the day had returned, but not all, a few of them had secretly changed their doors. Kong Qiu counted silently, but fortunately, the people with flying souls were not among them.
Lu Dinggong was the Qiu who met him late at night. Although he was surprised by Qiu's sudden invitation, he was still very happy. He wanted to summon Kong Qiu several times, and even hinted at Shao Zhengmao's recommendation, but Shao Zhengmao did not understand. He didn't dare to blatantly summon Kong Qiu, the monarch was weak and the minister was strong, and the etiquette was broken, and there were many people watching his actions. As soon as those people feel something is wrong, maybe their plans will be aborted. Shao Zhengmao is his confidant, and he can still deal with the three powerful ministers in the court, and Lu Dinggong is surprised and happy. Those three should have wanted to get rid of Shao Zhengmao many times, but he was always able to save the day at the most critical time. He cleverly took advantage of the mutual distrust between the three to win space for himself.
Once the Ji Sun clan had already surrounded the Shaozheng Mansion, and there were no soldiers in his own hands, so he could not rescue him, so he summoned the Ji Sun clan, and the Ji Sun clan was sick. He thought that Shao Zheng Mao would be resting, but he didn't expect that the general who led the troops would lead the troops back with his words after Shao Zheng Mao was invited into the back hall, but instead said to Ji Sun's Chen: Shao Zheng Mao is the person who Ji Sun's should use, and he should not be killed lightly. Although Ji Sun's family was dissatisfied, the general was his confidant, and he didn't blame him too much. Only the eloquence of Shao Zhengmao can really shock the world and cry ghosts and gods. But one less is right, after all, there are too few, and many people don't believe him. Kong Qiu is different, he has a greater reputation, and I heard that he and Shao Zhengmao are acquaintances, if they can assist themselves, the ability of these two people, why can't they turn things around?
Qiu slowly walked into the hall, and his eyes fell on the body of Lu Dinggong's side. Mao sneered in his heart: Obviously, you can be faster, but you have to do the gift of a book, dragging mud and water. If I'm not around, and you control Lu Dinggong with the soul hunting technique, I'm afraid I won't have a chance again.
As if seeing through his thoughts, the corners of Qiu's mouth provoked a contemptuous smile, and then disappeared, solemnly saluting like Lu Dinggong.
Lu Dinggong returned the salute and said eagerly: "I have heard the name of Mr. Jiuwen." Mr. is a broadcaster, with disciples all over the world, and there are many sages around him. Now that the country of Lu is tired, it is the time to employ people. Lone wants to summon you, but there are many concerns, since Mr. today has come to see Lone, he must not let Lone down. “
Qiu nodded: "Gong's heart, Qiu knows it well." See you today, you're here to make a difference. I am willing to take the country of Lu as the cornerstone and rebuild the whole day. At that time, the country of Lu will be the first country under the Son of Heaven, and the public will be the first prince under the Son of Heaven. The way of kings and ministers cannot be abandoned. How can a courtier be proud?"
Lu Dinggong was overjoyed in his heart, pointed to Shao Zhengmao and said: "I heard that you two are old people, and it is really a good thing to be able to serve Lu Guo together today." ”
Mao smiled: "The king can get Mr. Kongqiu, better than thousands of troops." The king didn't know that the gentleman himself had the power of the sky, not to mention that among his 3,000 disciples, seventy-two were exceptionally outstanding. If you can train well, not to mention just three capitals, even the world can get it at your fingertips. “
Lu Dinggong looked at Qiu: "Is this really the case? ”
Kong Qiu said lightly: "There are indeed some brave and powerful disciples of Qiu, and some are resourceful. But they are all ordinary people, how can they be so exaggerated as Shaozheng said. ”
Mao said slowly: "Why should Mr. be too modest. These seventy-two people, if the gentleman does not give up, Mao is willing to help the gentleman and train them into a powerful force, and they will only be loyal to the king. How's that, sir, you can't be reluctant, right?"
Lu Dinggong was excited, and he looked at Kong Qiu. Qiu's fingers shook slightly, and the wine in his hand shook and spilled a little, splashing on his hand, cold and cold. He could not accept this request, for he knew what would become of these seventy-two people if they fell into the hands of Mao. But Lu Dinggong's eyes were looking at him with great eagerness, how could he refuse?
This move is extremely wonderful, and if he agrees, the defeat is decided, not only endangering himself, but even the whole world may fall. If he doesn't agree, Lu Dinggong will inevitably suspect that he is not loyal enough, and then use the power of Lu Guo to secure the world and restrain the plan of soul hunting will inevitably fail.
Is this a must-lose?
