"You're missing out on this, and you don't understand what I really mean."

Hearing the reply criticizing himself, Tian Qian took a step forward, and his nearly nine-foot-tall body slowly sat down, although his hair was a little gray, but there was still a look of non-anger and self-authority between his eyebrows, which made people feel the suppression of momentum.

I saw that he was dressed in a high crown and a broad belt, the robe was beautifully decorated, and the five colors and twelve chapters complemented each other, quite a "wrong gold, carved eyes" style, calmly looked at the smiling Fan Li in front of him, casually threw down a few clouds in the sky, placed them on the peak and turned into a clear spring, and then explained:

"A recruit archer who is a good shot in training is probably not as good as an old soldier in marksmanship; The ability to perform in a familiar and safe environment may not be applicable in an unfamiliar and dangerous place. ”

"Therefore, even if his performance just now reaches the level I need, for the sake of his young age, I still have to lower my evaluation, and after joining our Tian clan as a guest secretary, I will not be able to get a higher treatment for the time being."

"Also, the name 'Ouyi Zipi', although it is just a code name, sounds too banal, and it is also difficult to convince others, so it is better to change it."

Fan Li, although he was born in three households in Wandi, Chu State, is just an ordinary family of the people, but tracing back to his ancestors, he is the famous Jin State Secretary Fan Wuzi, who belongs to the descendants of the branch of the former Jin State Sixth Secretary Qi surnamed Fan.

Perhaps when he first rose, his family had fallen into the situation of commoners, and he did not get the slightest support from the Fan clan of the Jin Kingdom, but when Fan Li made some names in the land of Chu Yue, the clan of the same origin naturally did not hesitate to provide a little help and make investments, making the connection between the two deeper and deeper.

However, no matter what kind of friendship Fan Li developed with the Fan clan, and what kind of relationship it had in the beginning, everything changed greatly with the defeat of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan in the struggle between the six kings.

A few years ago, under the pursuit of Zhao Ying, the last suzerain Fan Ji, who fled to Qi in a panic and had no family power, obviously no longer compared to Fan Li, who was an important minister of the Yue Kingdom, and was overtaken by the latter.

However, although after escaping to the Qi State, Fan Jichu only obtained a fief of Dayi and fell to the level of the third- and fourth-tier forces, but because the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan had formed an alliance with the Qi Guotian clan before, they actually lived quite well, at least not to the point of misery and desolation.

In order to gain a firm foothold in the Qi State, the Fan family, who wanted to become a vassal of the Tian family and get more protection, benefited from the rich experience of the perennial political struggle in the Jin State, and quickly sensed the Tian family's intention to steal the country, so he took the initiative to recommend the strategist Fan Li to Tian Qi, the head of the Tian family, and took the lead on the side, wanting the two sides to reach a preliminary cooperation agreement, and the two sides benefited.

In the opinion of Tian Qishu, the eldest son of Tian Qishu, who is in charge of this cooperation, located in a Yue country that is controlled by Wu State, even if Fan Li is in charge of the country, it is difficult to compare with the more powerful Tian family in Qi State, even if the two sides cooperate, there should be a difference between master and slave.

As for Sun Enemy on the side, although this person is one of the commanders of Wu Guohong's sword guard, he feels that he is less and less valued after Sun Wu's retirement, remembering that the main line of the Tian clan of Qi has the potential to represent Qi, and was promised by the latter that after the matter is completed, he can serve as the position of the Great Sima, command the three armies, or can reproduce the power of his father Sun Wu to lead the world, so compared with being loyal to King Wu, he is more inclined to have a good relationship with the Tian clan and wait for the opportunity to change jobs.

"That being said, what would you choose between a recruit who was able to shoot arrows at the beginning of the army, and another veteran who was always mediocre in ability? Obviously, the talented former is more likely to grow. ”

What's more, the archers who are also shooting targets in the school field, who have good archery skills, and Yang Yuji, who graduated from the school at a young age, will finally achieve all the red hearts, but the actual skill level is very different. If it is the latter, even if it is the first time to enter the battlefield, it can far surpass its peers and immediately shine. ”

Looking directly into Tian Qian's eyes, Fan Li also sat down, and with a slight stroke of his fingertips, he turned the clear spring into a winding stream, and placed a bronze jue in the upper reaches of the stream, and the wine naturally gushed out from the jue, and replied lightly:

"In addition, I have already said before that Zipi is highly valued by my master, and he is now practicing an esoteric supernatural power, and he may need to wait for three or four years, or it may only take half a year, before he can agree to your conditions and join the Qi to help the Tian clan."

"It's fine." At this time, after receiving the message from Sun Di on the side, Tian Qiang's eyes lit up slightly, and he took a sip of the wine jue, and did not show impatience due to the delay of time, but the momentum was a little more condensed, swept the sleeves of his robe outward, and said:

"When the time comes, if I can hear that the name of Yi Zipi has spread outside the Qi Kingdom, proving that he does have such extraordinary potential, I will give him a higher treatment. For the time being, the degree of cooperation between our two sides is limited to some information and material exchanges. ”

……

When Tian Qiang, who was not very satisfied, left with Sun Di one after another, a few cheerful golden carp suddenly appeared in the Qushui on the side of Fan Li, carrying the wine jue to clean it, and the young man in white who looked into the distance at the top of the peak also slowly turned around.

I saw that the other party was dressed in a white robe, gentle and elegant, and the qi around him had no intersection with the outside world, as if he was an independent universe, which could be called the most quiet, but under a closer look, he could find that his person maintained a state of high-speed cultivation all the time, but it showed the characteristics of extreme movement.

His gaze is as sharp as a sword, as if he can see through all the disguises and potential defects in the world, but it inexplicably gives people a sense of closeness, makes others yearn for a better life, naturally corrects their biases, and shows the most positive and upward attitude.

If Tian Qian knew that "Ou Yi Zi Pi" had such an amazing ability just by glancing, he would definitely regret his behavior of sweeping away directly.

"Young uncle, in the deep pool formed by conspiracy and calculation, I have a glimpse of the unpredictable human heart, is this the test that Teacher Wenzi brought to me? This kind of sharpening method is also unique, and it may really make me further realize the difference between ideals and reality. ”

Yang Ziju's right hand held a jade slip engraved with the ancient heavenly seal, and the five fingers of his left hand were slightly twisted, conjuring up a void world surrounded by immortal qi in the five directions, and there was a quiet and restrained power in his temperament, which made people dare not approach easily.

When he walked to Fan Li's side, put away the jade slip, and finally spoke, the heavens and the earth seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the clouds fell slowly, as if listening on the side:

"I have heard that after my master and elder have attained the Tao, Kang Cangzi has attained its purity, condenses the universe, is virtuous as heaven and earth, and gradually reaches the realm of the whole Tao to the truth; Xin Wenzi has a lot of knowledge, reads thousands of books, and leads the program to calculate and solve the secrets of the universe. ”

"These days, I first read the hundreds of volumes of books on medicine and divination and planting trees on farms that were co-authored by Shaobo and Wenzi to teach the people.

"If Ziju is not bad, this large area of planned rice fields should have adopted a lot of new technologies that you have researched! It's no wonder that the farmers under the mountain often talk about the characters, except for King Yue Goujian, are Wen Chong and you. ”

It turned out that the top talent "Yizi Pi" that Fan Li wanted to "recommend" to Tian Qian was the old Dan Xinxin disciple of his uncle, Yang Ziju.

However, because the Taoists despise etiquette, Fan Li himself actually accepted Lao Tzu's personal guidance when he followed Wenzi to do things, but between the two, they hit it off at first sight and regarded each other as friends.

So much care about the miscellaneous books I wrote without incident? Fan Li thought thoughtfully, but he didn't want to mention these little things here, so he changed the topic and said:

"Ziju, what the Tian family did was actually a move to usurp the country and seize the throne, even if my master provided and facilitated such an opportunity, you don't need to get involved!"

"'The water of the waves is clear, and it can be wet; The water of the waves is turbid, and you can wet my feet. This is a song composed by Rushi in the past, and now it is widely spread in Chu. Yang Ziju replied with a smile: "The conflict between the Qi State Office and the Tian clan is not so easy to pollute my state of mind. ”

"To tell the truth, in my personal opinion, Jiang Qi has been a mediocre person since he was too public, even if he is the Duke of Qi Huan, who created the hegemony, his real merits are few, and he is definitely not as good as directly letting Guan Zhong serve as the monarch of Qi State."

"If the virtuous of the courtiers is better than the monarch, and the new policies promulgated are better than the old ones, and the former replaces the latter, which is not much different from the ancient Zen concessions, what is there to blame?"

"Be careful! Be careful! You seem a little too aggressive. Fan Li subconsciously glanced around and reminded sincerely.

"I suspect that the role of the mediocre monarch is still better than that of the virtuous minister, it is just that the country's system ~ system and the current environment have gone wrong, and the simplicity and kindness of the ancient times are no longer restored, and a symbolic monarch is needed to stabilize life."

Yang Ziju talked about it: "However, you ask yourself, from a distance, Zhou Gong is to Cheng Wang, from a near point, Zhao Dun is to Ling Gong, when these capable ministers are in charge of the country, is the state governance worse than when the monarch is in power?" ”

"Further detail, a few years ago, when Gou Jian, the king of Yue, served Wu, and the political affairs of Yue were in charge of Ru Youwen, the people of Yue were still living well, and there was not much difference from Gou Jian after returning to China."

"There is no king and there is no king, there is no king and there is no king, and between the two, there must be an agreement in some way, so that the vast majority of middle and low-level people will not feel the difference in a stable and healthy life......

"Shennong is not greedy for the world, but the world is rich; It is not valued by others for its wisdom, and is respected by the world. After pondering for a moment, Fan Li blinked his eyes and replied: "Today's princes and princes, their virtues are declining, and they abuse the people because of their dignity, and they are also righteous. ”

"It seems that regarding the matter of the Tian family's Daiqi, you have already helped them think of all kinds of 'legitimate' reasons, and even I was almost convinced! Ziju, the next time you joke with me and practice the art of debate, let's give you a hint. ”

When Fan Li ended the topic with a smile, the two tacitly did not reveal to each other their true views on the way of kings and ministers, but clicked on the wine lord in the stream from afar, split it into two, and began to drink.

Although he said so, in fact, Yang Ziju's personal views are far more radical than what he said to Fan Li today, however, opinions are opinions, actions are actions, and before he has the power to subvert the world, Yang Ziju tends to have a conservative attitude in front of outsiders.

"The political affairs of the world are so similar to the decrees of heaven and earth. But I don't know, does Ziju have a unique insight corresponding to the previous theory in the practice of the change of the six qis? After a while, Fan Li seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked curiously.

is different from Kang Cangzi, who is completely secluded from the world, and is also a disciple of Lao Tzu, but Xin Wenzi has the attitude of changing in the world according to the situation, and has created a new school that integrates the way of governing the country into practice;

Judging from Yang Ziju's promise to this tempering, he should be more inclined to the latter, but the specific situation, in terms of the details of the interpretation of the Great Dao, must be different and creative, and he has entered a completely new field.

If it weren't for this, as far as Fan Li knew, Lao Dan, who seemed to be leisurely but had actually been in retreat for many years, would not have to lead his apprentices personally, but would recommend Yangziju to Wenzi's disciple, feeling that this was enough to teach him the Tao and make him his own junior disciple.

……

At the same time, in the side hall of the Ming Hall in the Yuling Park, after the "Chao Fungi" gambling game was liquidated by the number of jade bets on the Ding number, Zhao Qing, who had just announced that he could bet on the last E number, was already ready, so he rushed ahead of everyone and said almost the same words as Xi Shi:

"All the chips, even the pressure of the E-number Chao fungus can live for several years."

"Are you sure?" Shen Ge forgot to look calm, pointed to the coix that had accumulated more than seven hundred coix in Zhao Qing's hand, and said lightly: "Although I appreciate some innovative and interesting methods, even if the gambling loss can be compensated, but the main premise is that there should be no repetition. ”

"Miss Zhao, if you are not sure that I will be interested enough, you will rush to press it all, obviously you have already earned so many chips, but you want to follow the layout of Shi Yiguang's Four Seasons Picture Scroll and get extra rewards, which is really worth the loss."

"Why don't you lose more than you lose? I have my own way, and everyone is welcome to call as well. Under the rather unfavorable gaze of everyone, Zhao Qing smiled slightly, spoke confidently, and directly pressed down all the chips, his demeanor was calm, and even made others hesitate for a moment before placing a bet.

However, thinking that Shen Ge had just made a definition, saying that only the Chao Bacteria in the E-No. Jade could be counted, and he couldn't think of any other "cheating" methods, when Gu Fu Cheng made the second bet, everyone on the field also pressed the number of chips they had originally planned.

But soon, these wizards who felt that Zhao Qingchun was boring, wasting chips, and even feeling sorry for him, experienced feelings of regret and frustration.

The reason and the story of the matter are very simple, that is, the moment when Shen Ge Forgetting officially opened the lid of the E-No. Jade Jade, a large stream of extremely dense spore smoke erupted from it, and it quickly spread in the blink of an eye, wafting up and down in the entire hall.

However, after a few breaths of time, these millions of spores, which are theoretically quite fragile and far less in number, have actually absorbed enough vitality energy from the air, and in a short period of time, they have grown into an umbrella-shaped prototype, and the dark green fluorescence is one after another, showing the form of layers of streamers, which rise and fall with the wind, making this place seem to turn into a green sea of stars.

But this dreamlike scene was still not the most eye-catching focus on the field, because with Zhao Qing's simple gesture of reaching out, including the E number, the five jade square seats on the ground actually jumped up on their own and floated straight in the area three feet in front of her.

Considering that these jade qi who had been set up with many prohibitions and vitality barriers had forgotten everything, there was really no reason to listen to Zhao Qing's "words" like this, there was no doubt that this meant something beyond imagination: they were refined by her, and they were even more easily mastered.

At present, it seems that in the half hour that everyone used their own means just now, Zhao Qing obviously carried out a series of special biological modifications on the Chao Fungus of the E-called Jade, but what she did and what kind of means she used, but no one still knows.
