Because the door of the main hall was locked, Tian Bule and Fang Sheng could only watch it outside before reluctantly leaving.

After visiting the Jixia School Palace for a long time, Tian Bule remembered the purpose of his coming here and couldn't help but be a little discouraged. There are thousands of people in the Jixia School Palace, and it is not easy to find Li Si. He can't blatantly go to find Li Si, otherwise he will definitely be discovered by others.

Cuckoo

I don't know what's going on, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and hurriedly pulled Fang Sheng and said, "Brother Fang, I'll go to the toilet first." You wait here for a moment. ”

Fang Sheng smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Shen, go quickly." ”

Tian Bule followed the signs in the school palace to the latrine, which has more than a dozen pits, each of which is separated by wooden planks. After Tian Bule relaxed, he stood up refreshed.

With a bang, the toilet door opened, and a man dressed in a shabby scribe's costume walked in with a broom. Tian Bule hurriedly grabbed his pants and said in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

When the man saw Tian Bule, he hurriedly apologized: "In Xia Lisi, I am responsible for the sanitation and cleaning here." I'm sorry I didn't notice anyone in there. ”

"What? Your name is Lis?"

Tian Bule paid attention to the person in front of him, although this person looked very down, not only ragged, but also unshaven beard, but his eyes were bright, and he had a resolute and unyielding temperament.

However, how could the future prime minister of the Qin Empire be a toilet cleaner?

Tian Bule further verified: "You are a native of Shangcai in the Chu Kingdom, right?"

Li Si was surprised: "How does Mr. know?"

Tian Bule tied the waist of his trousers, took a step forward, and laughed: "Look up for a long time!"

Li Si took two steps back, looked at Tian Bule in fear, and said, "Mr. is joking, right?"

Tian Bule scratched his head, but he didn't expect his enthusiasm to scare Li Si, and explained: "Brother Li is not strange. In Xia Shen Liang, I heard Han Feigongzi talk about Brother Li's name in Wei State, and he once praised you for your great ambition and ability to assist the famous lord to dominate the world. ”

Li Si put down the broom in his hand, smiled gloomily, and said, "Auxiliary master?" I'm just sitting here and cleaning the toilet right now. ”

Tian Bule encouraged: "Brother Li is just lucky to have not arrived. One day, Brother Li will be able to spread his wings like Dapeng and soar upward. ”

Li Si was in a difficult situation, and when he heard someone encouraging him like this, his spirit was shocked, and he talked more.

The two chatted eagerly, Li Si sighed, and said, "I used to be a scrivener in Shangcai, Chu State, and I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, so I wanted to live like this for the rest of my life." But one day, when I was in the toilet, I saw rats eating feces in the toilet, and when people or dogs came to the toilet, they all ran away, and the rats I saw in the rice barn, one by one, eating big and fat, leisurely playing and mating in the rice pile, no one or a dog brought threat and fright. After a pause, Li Si sighed: "I suddenly discovered that whether a person is successful or not, just like a mouse, is determined by his own environment. People don't care whether they can do it or not, their intelligence is about the same, rich and poor, it all depends on whether they can seize the opportunity and choose the environment. Now that wars are frequent, all countries are desperately recruiting talents, and everyone is vying for fame and fortune, and I also want to make a career. So I quit the official errand, sold my family property, and went to study here in the Qi country. ”

Tian Bule was puzzled: "Then why is Brother Li so downcast? Ahem, I have no malicious intent." ”

Li Si said helplessly: "To enter the school palace, you need to pay a lot of tuition. Since I entered the school, my income has been cut off, so I have to clean the toilet in exchange for tuition. Then he smiled again and said, "I have no way out, as long as I grit my teeth and persevere." Whenever I feel like giving up, I look at the rats in the latrine so that I can continue to learn. ”

Tian Bule couldn't help but be a little moved, and in the face of such a diligent and studious Li Si, he was really ashamed that he had often skipped class before.

Tian Bule said: "Brother Li's teacher is Mr. Xun Jing, can't he get an official position in Linzi?"

Li Si said helplessly: "There are nearly 1,000 disciples under Master Xun, and I am just one of them that is very eye-catching. In addition to the doctrines of Teacher Xun Kuang, I often studied the doctrines of other schools in the school palace in order to integrate them. What interests me the most is the study of how to govern the country, the so-called "art of kingship". It's a pity that the whole Qi country advocates vanity, and no one pays attention to my knowledge in the Qi country at all. Even Teacher Xun Guo left last month, but unfortunately he didn't go to the Qin State, but the Chu State at sunset. ”

Tian Bule knew that he was a step late, and he originally wanted to see Xun Guo, but when he saw that Li Si wanted to go to Qin State, he said, "Why do you want to go to Qin State instead of Chu State?"

Li Si said excitedly: "Since Qin Xiaogong of Qin State adopted the new law of Shang Ying, changed customs, the people are solid, the country is rich and strong, the people are willing to serve the country, the princes are attached to it, and they have successively defeated the armies of Chu and Wei, and captured thousands of miles of land, so far the political stability and national strength are strong. King Qin Hui adopted Zhang Yi's strategy again, captured the Sanchuan region, went west to annex Ba and Shu, went north to collect Shangjun, went south to capture Hanzhong, swept all the Jiuyi tribes, controlled the land of Yan and Ying, and occupied Chenggao Tianwei in the east, cutting fertile land. Now the Qin State has formed a trend that has swept the world, but now Lü Buwei controls the government, and the King of Qin has no ambition to annex the world. ”

Seeing that Li Si was still hesitating, Tian Bule persuaded: "In this case, Brother Li might as well wait and see for a while, now that Lu Buwei is in power to the government and the opposition, Brother Li will inevitably go to his disciples if he wants to develop in the Qin State." If Lü Buwei falls one day, Brother Li is afraid that he will be affected. ”

After hearing this, Li Si said happily: "Thank you Brother Shen for reminding me." ”

Tian Bule laughed and said: "You and I hit it off at first sight, why don't I invite Brother Li to have a light meal tonight, I don't know how?"

Li Si was worried about how to eat today, and when he heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

Tian Bule came out of the toilet and joined the Fang Sheng, who was still waiting outside. Fang Sheng saw Tian Bule's proud face, and wondered in his heart, is it so happy to go to the toilet?

The visit to the Jixia School Palace was almost over, and Tian Bule and Fang Sheng went out of the School Palace together and returned to the Tingsong Annex.

Along the way, Tian Bule kept thinking about how to win over and corrupt Li Si's talent and tie him to his side.

Li Si is now at his most depressed, but from his words, he already has the demeanor and insight of the future imperial prime minister. If he can be made his own brainchild, then the hope of destroying Tian Dan and King Qi will be greatly increased.

But how do you win him over?

Walking on the lively street, the street is lined with restaurants.

Tian Bule was thinking about it, when he suddenly sensed that someone upstairs in a restaurant was looking at him, and he looked back and was happy.

After making an excuse for Fang Sheng to go back first, Tian Bule made sure that no one was following him, and then entered the restaurant and came to the second floor of the restaurant.

Sitting in the corner upstairs were the two brothers Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who had been separated from him for a long time, and the more bright and moving Huang Li.

Tian Bule stepped forward and was naturally very happy to meet again after a long absence.

After sitting down, Tian Bule told what he had experienced these days. The three of them didn't expect him to become a deacon of a song and dance troupe in just a short period of time.

Although Tian Bule carefully avoided the ambiguous relationship between him and the beauties of the song and dance troupe, Huang Li must have thought that he was surrounded by all kinds of beauties every day, and immediately pursed his lips.

Tian Bule hurriedly diverted the topic and asked them about the situation in Linzi these days
