Sometimes I think that Taoliu Lane is like a reservoir, where people from all over the world gather, in this small courtyard, there seems to be no intersection under one roof, I don't know if it is fate?

What is my destiny among all living beings in the world, and what is my future situation?

Confusion occupied my way forward, and I began to be more and more overwhelmed by this unknown rivers and lakes.

But the trajectory of my life seems to have changed imperceptibly when I stepped into the Eastern Capital, just like Zhang Mazi's original trajectory was just guarding his mother's tomb, and the hatred buried in his heart drove him to become stronger, otherwise he would not have moved forward because the dog master pointed out a direction for him, he would have been indomitable, tempering his own cultivation without distraction, and daring to spread wild in the territory of the deficit camp.

Liang Po may never have dreamed that the reason why his deficit battalion was in constant trouble during this period of time and suffered all kinds of nuisances came from his defeated general Zhang Mazi.

Master Dog may not have thought that his ordinary life would become no longer able to lie down with peace of mind because of the appearance of Yi Diandian, let alone continue to eat and wait for death, and use wine to numb himself.

I didn't expect that I would become a guest of the Phantom Sword Book Alliance, and since then, I have stepped into the circle of the powerful people in the Eastern Capital, and become a weak shrimp struggling in troubled waters.

In the year of the weak crown, the future is uncertain and wandering in a foreign land, where should my life go, whether to do nothing and be willing to be a nominal "master book" in Taoliu Lane, or to seek two stones of corn for "doormen", this is a practical problem related to survival.

Therefore, when I appeared in the Phantom Sword Book League as a guest on the first day, I was deeply aware that once people choose to bend their waists for five buckets of rice, they will lose a part of themselves, and step-by-step is the main tone of life.

To be able to realize this problem, I am not completely immersed in the whirlpool of resignation, I am too satisfied with the status quo in the process of bending over to lose myself, the loftiness in my bones, and the desire for fame and fortune of a scholar, so that I do not easily bow to reality.

It seems to be a walking corpse, but it seems to be unyielding stubbornness, this is the me I am now, a me that I don't know!

After I entered the Illusory Sword Book Alliance, I found that I was the only guest in the door, and everyone else was a guest, and it was needless to say that I was several times more than me, and the treatment I enjoyed was not comparable to that of a doorman.

I don't care about the difference between the door and the guest, I have never been confined to these forms, besides, what kind of organization is the Illusory Sword Book Alliance, what kind of things are planned for His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince, all this is still in my observation, I dare not guarantee that I will sacrifice my life for the sake of two stones of corn regardless of my own safety.

After all, I am just an ordinary scholar with no background, but I don't have the unswerving, mighty and unyielding noble aspirants.

As an ordinary person who just wants to live a good life, I don't want to get involved in the struggle between the forces of all sides.

On the first day I entered the Fantasy Sword Book League, Zheng Beiyou assigned me the task of sorting out the records and histories of various states and states, including the coping strategies for floods, droughts, and insect disasters.

My main task at the moment is to coordinate the effective measures taken by various states and counties to deal with disasters in the past, and to make a necessary summary of the potential natural disasters that may exist in the future.

These special circumstances are often accompanied by the plague, after the Ezhou epidemic, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty ministers are summing up this lesson, which shows that such events need a perfect measure to serve as a reference for similar events in other princes, states and counties in the later period.

Apart from sorting out these contents, the book league has not arranged for me to do anything else, which makes me feel that the two stones of corn are really deserved.

In the interval between tidying up, I secretly asked other guest secretaries, asking them if they had been sorting out these documents and histories all year round, and had to be with these scriptures and books all day long.

There are no less than ten people doing the same thing as me, and no one wants to deal with me, and they are all tirelessly immersed in their respective tasks, I don't know whether they are deliberately secret, or they see that I am a new face and are unwilling to talk to me, which means that if you want to integrate here, you either need time or strength.

If you are dedicated to sorting out the literature, without distractions, time flies quite quickly, of course, people enjoy it, but if you are not interested in this kind of task, it is a kind of torment.

There is only one guest in the book league who is willing to talk to me, I see that he is dressed ordinary, even showing the same shabby as me, I guess his background should be relatively ordinary, it seems that no matter what circle he joins, people are always accustomed to being close to people of their own status.

I don't know if the other party feels this way, at least I think he is the only person in the book league who doesn't make me feel gloomy and dull.

This person is a talented person who has been trying for many years at the junction of South Vietnam and Jing Chu, and he left his hometown alone without a way, and he was exiled in the Eastern Capital without relatives, and he joined the Book League by chance.

At first, he just wanted to fill his stomach and find a way out, but then he liked these interesting state and county documents, and then he felt that it was very pleasant, there was no worldly deceit, and there was no frustration of no way to report, the scrolls were on his head, and the books were simple when he looked down, and there was no need to deal with cold eyebrows, nor did he need to flatter for a livelihood, everything here was filled with interesting documents and mountain and river gazetteers, and this errand allowed him to have no distractions, completely immersed in the sea of books and pursue his free and easy self, so that he lived too casually, He was regarded as a madman by many guests in the book league.

This person is very strange, on the first day I joined the book league, and I partnered with him to sort out the state and county literature and history, he told him that his surname was Zhao, and I called him Brother Zhao.

When I went to the Book League the next day to continue sorting out the Atlas of Mountains and Seas, he told me that his surname was Qian today.

On the third day, he began to change his surname to Sun again, which made me a little confused as to whether this person really had a problem with his head.

Later, after many inquiries, there are four strange people in the book alliance, the first of which is a Hongru in the Qingfeng Mingyue Building, it is said that Hongru was born only once in his life, helping the old lady of the Zheng family to turn the tide, and an immortal achievement has established the status of Zheng Guogong who is now unshakeable.

This Hongru is Mr. Shumeng, usually does not go out of the library, where there are questions about knowledge, or national strategy planning, only Zheng Beiyou has the opportunity to go to the library to kneel with him, usually Zheng Taibai has something to ask for advice, and he has to ask his nephew to ask for advice.

The second strange person surprised me, it was the storyteller in Taoliu Lane, I have never met this gentleman once, it is very mysterious, Lu Yao wanted to see this gentleman's skills more than once, but unfortunately he raised a mandrill, no one could get close to that house, this person did not appear many times in the book league, specifically for the book league hired which knowledge of the gentleman, so far no one can say why, it is said that this storyteller, only sell two faces, one is the old lady of the Guogong Mansion, and the other is the prince in the palace.

The third gentleman is the Zen master of Dongtuo Temple, this little monk who is not stupid has mentioned to me, I think the Zen master may be a little eccentric, and there is still a certain gap between the strange people who are rumored to be outside.

The last one is Keqing, who recently sorted out the literature with me, and I will call him Zhao Qiansun for the time being.

Unlike the above three, Zhao Qiansun, who frequently changes his surname for the Phantom Sword Book League, is not Mr. Shumeng, he is just a guest of the Book League, not even a teacher of the Book League, and his salary is no different from others, only slightly higher than me.

Perhaps because I think that I am different from those children with family backgrounds, and do things not superficially, when Zhao Qiansun first dealt with me, he immediately commented when he saw the excerpt I made: "The words lack pen power, but this summary is concise and to the point, and I can see that there is some literary ink." ”

I didn't explain to him the bamboo charcoal I used to practice calligraphy when I was young, and besides, the character is the face, as long as the person who can write can read it clearly, then there is no insult to the face of the reader.

Zhao Qiansun spoke in a vigorous voice, listening to the voice of the age is almost the same as the dog master, but the face is not confused about the age, not tall, the appearance is not prominent, the lips are a mustache, and there is a pinch of goatee on the chin, if you don't look at the habit, it really makes people feel weird.

He was the first person I met in the Book League, and he was also the one who spoke the most, I heard that he had the opportunity to be promoted to a teacher, and even had the honor to discuss with the Hongru in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, and later was summoned by His Royal Highness the Prince, and had some unpleasantness during the lecture with the Prince, and then the promotion to the teacher This matter was stopped, and he continued to be a guest secretary who sorted out the literature and classics, and then even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needed to help with advice on some state affairs and did not summon him.

This incident shows two points, one is that he has great talent, even if he has angered His Royal Highness the Prince, he still values his talent, and the other is that this person is unrestrained, his behavior is not tactful enough, and he is obviously an eclectic and angular person.

The talents of the ages are distinctive, so it is no wonder that he has become a weirdo in the eyes of others.

After many inquiries, I learned that when Zhao Qiansun gave a lecture to the prince for the last time, he said that since ancient times, the imperial power has no restraint, and the imperial power should be restrained, and the three powers are in charge, otherwise the subsequent kings of the dynasty will repeat the mistake of mourning the king's greed for beauty and misleading the country, and bury the great cause of the dynasty for thousands of years, wouldn't it be infinitely harmful!

Being able to say this is enough to show that Zhao Qiansun is bold, it is not difficult to understand why Zheng Beiyou did not dare to mention him as a teacher of the Book League, if this kind of rebellious words are listened to by outsiders, it will not only be the Phantom Sword Book League and the Guogong Mansion that will suffer, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be affected.

Fortunately, these things are just rumors, and this is just a simple mention of Zheng Beiyou to me, and he probably reminded me not to get too close to Zhao Qiansun, so as not to be brainwashed by him.

At the Phantom Sword Book League, I told myself to follow two things: keep your mouth shut, and restrain your curiosity.

If I can be competent in the tricky things of the Book League, and solve problems for Zheng Beiyou and others, it can be regarded as my two stones of corn that I did not take in vain, and Yu Phantom Sword Book League has a little value.

As for whether I can get the opportunity to make steady progress and make great achievements from the book league, I choose to treat it with a normal heart, Dongdu is a peer with a good family background and good strength, and there is also no shortage of capable people with lofty ideals who have no way to report, and there are so many young talents who run around the mansions every day to seek a way out, what kind of smoke does the green smoke of the ancestral tomb have to become, in order to produce a talented person with a glorious lintel?

In this regard, my heart has long been calm, live well, and An can break my eyebrows and bend my waist to deal with the powerful, so that I am unhappy?
