When Shen Chen returned to Xianshan Academy, he could already feel the changes that fame had brought to him.

The eyes of the fellow disciples and brothers suddenly became different when they looked at him.

More than a dozen servants of the Deng family went up the mountain with gifts.

This is something that is done every year, and every time Shen Chen comes back from the Yellow Gate Pavilion, he will give gifts to the division commander and his classmates.

In previous years, everyone would be polite, hug each other, and joke with each other to take the gifts.

Because there are no children from poor families who study at Da Shan Academy.

Shen Chen gave gifts, and they would also give gifts, all of which were worthless gifts, such as bacon, pen and ink, books, and the like.

In addition, I have known each other for a few years, and they are all friends, so I don't pay so much attention to politeness.

But this year, watching the Deng slaves bring up the gifts, no one came up to receive them.

At the gate of the mountain, Shen Chen stood there a little crampedly, and the surrounding brothers and sisters were just watching from a distance, like a group of strangers.

"Ah Chen."

When Song Zhong heard the news that Shen Chen had returned to the mountain gate, he stepped out, his face was a little unsightly, and said, "Come in." ”

"Master."

Shen Chen bowed his hand, instructed the servant to send the gift to the backyard, and then followed Song Zhong inside.

His friends such as Wang Cang, Pan Jun, Wang Han, and Zhou Sheng were all there, and the rest of the teachers from Qi Wuhong, Pan Fan, Zhao Kui and other colleges also came.

Everyone followed Song Zhong to the courtyard of the hall, it was the spring of March, the towering tree in the center of the courtyard was slim and elegant, the thick trunk was growing in knots, the crown was dense like an umbrella, and the branches were hanging down.

In fact, there is not a fixed number of students in Xianshan Academy, the most formal class system in the Han Dynasty was Taixue, with a strict class schedule, and the other schools were not so formal.

The private classes at the bottom are more casual, and they all depend on personal wishes. For example, if you have time to come to class today, just say hello to the teacher if you don't have time.

For example, Confucius taught 3,000 disciples, and it would be impossible to teach 3,000 people every day.

So students basically come when they have time and leave when they don't, a bit like a university classroom, no one will force you.

When Liu Biao first established the Xianshan Academy, there were not many students at the beginning, but it has slowly grown in recent years, and in its heyday, including teachers, it was actually only a few hundred.

The teachers and students who usually attend classes are generally maintained between dozens and hundreds, and today there are about thirty or forty people, and when Shen Chen came back, it was during the class, and it happened to be a big class together in the courtyard.

Today, Song Zhong is lecturing on "The Words of the Law", which is the work of Yangxiong of the Western Han Dynasty. Although Yangxiong's defection to Wang Mang led to some problems in the wind criticism, his writings and ideas were indeed praised by the Han people.

So at that time, there were a lot of his supports, Song Zhong himself was a great Confucian who studied the Five Classics, and he commented on all kinds of Confucian scriptures, and also studied Yangxiong's works, and made annotations for Yangxiong's books such as "Taixuan Jing" and "Fa Yan", and he was a Confucian who admired Yangxiong very much.

After Shen Chen came in, many students sat down separately.

The courtyard was covered with mats everywhere, Song Zhong stood under the tree, and the students around him were very quiet, until Shen Chen came in, and a servant of the academy brought a mat, and after he sat down, Song Zhong sat cross-legged on the seat by the tree.

Today's talk is about the "Fa Yan", Yang Xiong said, "The sage is happy to know his fate, Lotte is not diligent, and he is not worried when he knows his fate." I think it makes sense, what do you think? ”

Song Zhong looked around and asked everyone.

There was no one around to speak, and after a moment of silence, Song Zhong looked at Shen Chen and said, "Ah Chen, you just went back to the mountain gate, what do you think?" ”

Shen Chen stood up and replied, "Returning to Shijun, I also think it makes sense. When the saint is aware of the Heavenly Dao and knows the Mandate of Heaven, he knows that the operation of the Heavenly Dao is natural, and he will not suffer from gains and losses, and he will not feel worried. ”

Confucius said: "Do things with the way", which shows that Confucius felt that the king of things is the way of heaven. Why, then, would anyone disobey the monarch's orders and choose to attack him? ”

Song Zhong asked.

Shen Chen frowned, in fact, he also understood that today's situation was probably not because of his fame.

After all, he is a student of Da Xian Academy, and if he has an outstanding disciple, the teacher will have a bright face, so he will not attack him because of his growing fame.

But his actions went against the minds of some people.

That is the idea of loyalty.

In fact, there are two currents of thought in Jingzhou, the first is Liu Biao's current idea, to divide Jingzhou in order to stand on its own.

The second is to respect the imperial court, or even to fully turn to the imperial court, and to conquer the Quartet under the orders of the imperial court.

In particular, the second is the mainstream thought, so after Liu Biao's death, the choice of most of the scholars in Jingzhou was to surrender directly to Cao Cao and surrender Jingzhou.

Because in their opinion, Cao Cao is to serve the Son of Heaven to beg for nothing, and the Son of Heaven is greater than everything, so surrendering to Cao Cao is not a disgraceful thing, but the return of Jingzhou to the imperial court is a matter of righteousness.

And this kind of thinking from the academic school of Xianshan Academy to the officials under Liu Biao's rule is very numerous, for example, last year Cao Cao greeted the Son of Heaven, Liu Biao immediately sent someone to confess, but at the same time sent someone to contact Yuan Shao and become an ally with Yuan Shao.

Liu Biao's governance was engaged in Deng Yi, and he advised him that he should fully turn to the imperial court, instead of befriending Yuan Shao. was reprimanded by Liu Biao, so he abandoned his official position and went to Jiangdong.

Later, Jingzhou did not drive Han Song, and also persuaded Liu Biao to fully fall to the imperial court, instead of continuing to fight against Cao, was suspicious of Liu Biao, so he sent him to Xuchang to see Cao Cao to see the truth, but after Han Song came back, he asked Liu Biao again to belong to the imperial court, and was almost killed by Liu Biao.

Including Song Zhong, he was also the main surrender faction, after Liu Biao's death, when his successor Liu Cong wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, it was he who gave Cao Cao a surrender table, and was scolded by Liu Bei when he passed by Xinye.

Therefore, there are many examples of this, and there are countless people in Jingzhou who persuaded Liu Biao to join Cao Cao, such as the carp that crossed the river. They didn't think that this was betraying the Lord, but that persuading Liu Biao to follow the righteousness and serve the Son of Heaven of the Han family is the royal way.

But don't they know that Cao Cao is now holding great power, and he is "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" in the name of "serving the Son of Heaven to please the princes"?

Maybe someone is faintly aware.

But just as Wang Mang was humble and not usurped, no one would believe this before it happened.

They all believed that Cao Cao was a loyal minister, and he was fighting for the Son of Heaven.

It wasn't until many years later that Cao Cao began to add nine tins, ten crowns, and went to the palace with swords, entered the court, praised and worshipped the nameless, and gave himself the title of Duke of Wei, and finally when the King of Wei was born, those who were loyal to the Son of Heaven of the Han family had already been killed by Cao Cao.

Later, people naturally forgot to be loyal to the Han Dynasty again, and then Cao Pi finally peacefully let Emperor Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, obediently give up the emperor's throne and create the Great Wei Empire.

So in general, from the perspective of God, later generations know that Cao Cao is the top version of Wang Mang, and while crusading against the Quartet in the name of Liu Xie, he is secretly preparing to usurp the throne.

But the world doesn't understand.

Therefore, most of the scholars in Jingzhou never felt that there was anything wrong with joining Cao Cao, but thought that fighting against Cao Cao was against the imperial court.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Biao is unwilling to fight Cao Cao to the death.

Now Song Zhong is using the words of Yangxiong and Confucius, in fact, he is asking Shen Chen, why do you want to fight against Cao Cao and the imperial court?

also eliminated so many soldiers and horses of Cao's army, killed Cao Cao's younger brother and generals, and offended Cao Cao to death.

Can't you be happy with the destiny of heaven and obediently obey the conquest of the imperial court?

It's not good, but it's true.

Shen Chen could naturally hear the meaning of his words, but it was definitely not okay to go back directly, saying that Cao Cao was not a loyal minister, and he was "blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes"?

It is estimated that nine out of nine out of thirty or forty people present will think that he is talking nonsense and will not approve of his words.

So it is necessary to find arguments and arguments to fight back.

So what is the argument argument?

First of all, it is necessary to affirm the orthodox status of the imperial court and recognize the name of Liu Xie's orthodox son of heaven.

The second is to refute Cao Cao's actions, which are the orders of the Son of Heaven.

It is necessary to separate the Son of Heaven from Cao Cao, so that everyone cannot think that the two are one, that is, Cao Cao's order is the order of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, after pondering for a long time, Shen Chen said softly: "Sir is actually asking, why do we want to fight against Cao Cao." ”

Song Zhong said: "Cao Cao sent the Son of Heaven to conquer the Nanyang Xiliang Army, which is where the righteousness lies. ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think so. ”

"Why?"

Song Zhong asked.

Shen Chen said: "Everyone in the world thinks that Cao Cao is fighting for the Son of Heaven to conquer the thieves from all directions, but Confucius said: The son is the government, and he uses to kill? Cao Cao was brutal and unkind, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, how could he be a good minister? This is a mistake for the Son of Heaven, and the people naturally have to rise up and fight. ”

Song Zhong said: "I know that you are from Xuzhou and have a grudge against Cao Cao. But how can a family feud compare with the righteousness of the country? Cao Cao's service to the Son of Heaven is the righteousness of heaven, and the gentleman is righteous and not it, how can things be done by all things? ”

What he means is that now that the country is unstable, family hatred should not be put in the first place, but should follow the right path like a gentleman, and not allow himself to go down the wrong path because of the twists and turns of things.

However, Shen Chen said: "Zi said: The son wants to be good, and the people are good. The Son of Heaven was mistaken by traitorous ministers, Cao Cao was not good, even if he served the Son of Heaven to beg for him, how could he make all the people surrender if the killing was so heavy? This is not the royal way, but the heresy and hegemony that has caused harm. ”

Song Zhong frowned and said: "To govern the troubled times, it should be a heavy pawn." The Qin State won the world with its hegemony, but now the Han Dynasty is in decline, and Wang Gang is sluggish. Cao Cao first assisted the Son of Heaven in his crusade against the unsubordinate, and after the world was calmed down, the Son of Heaven was naturally generous and benevolent, what's wrong? ”

Zi said: You can't do it. It's right to be domineering, but the people of Xuzhou have never had a heart of disobedience, even Tao Qian is trapped in the East China Sea and has no intention of causing chaos, how can he be angry with the innocent because of this? ”

Shen Chen immediately said: "If Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou in the name of the Son of Heaven, I have nothing to say, but the reason for Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou was to avenge his father, when the Son of Heaven was still in Chang'an, how could he slaughter the people in the name of the Son of Heaven?" So this is just his desire to vent his selfish desires, do you think that if the princes divide one side, they can wantonly kill the people, and once they serve the Son of Heaven, they can get rid of their cruel nature? ”

"This ......"

Song Zhong was asked for a while.

Because he thinks that it is normal for Cao Cao to use heavy codes in troubled times, and the Qin State was like this in the world.

The problem is that Shen Chen's rebuttal is reasonable.

It is said that Cao Cao did not slaughter Xuzhou at the behest of the Son of Heaven, but to vent his selfish desires, how can such a brutal person afford the reputation of a loyal servant who crusaded against thieves from all directions for the Son of Heaven?

Even when Confucius talked about the courtiers governing for the king, he should focus on benevolence, not to mention that Cao Cao was not governing for the king, but he was doing bad things.

Therefore, Shen Chen's argument is that Cao Cao is brutal, and the Son of Heaven has been deceived by him, so these people should clear the monarch's side and fight against Cao Thief.

It's just that this argument still can't convince everyone, and another teacher of Da Xian Academy, Qi Wuhong, stood up and said: "If a person is not a sage, who can do no wrong." After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. Although Cao Cao once slaughtered Xuzhou, now serving the Son of Heaven is a great good. ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Mr. is right, if there is one, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged." It's a very good thing to correct the mistakes you've made. But did Cao Cao change? At least now I don't see it. Just as the Son of Heaven made the state shepherd and guard the Quartet, if the shepherd has no flock, can he still be called the Heaven Patrol? It was unreasonable to fight the Lu country, and the general died and slaughtered the city, and finally caused the decline of the Qi country. If Cao Cao treats the people of Xuzhou well and welcomes the Son of Heaven to seek Tao Qian, how can the people of Xuzhou not eat pot pulp to welcome the king? Zi said: "Good people are for a hundred years, and they can also win and kill the remnants, which is true." "When a tyrannical man takes charge of the country, it is a disaster for the country. If Cao Cao has corrected himself, then he shouldn't have sent troops to attack my Huangmen Pavilion, is it true that the sword and axe are coming, just because he serves the Son of Heaven, I should be killed? ”

"Forehead ......"

Qi Wuyi was speechless for a moment, and one should really not prevent others from rebelling in the face of death.

Song Zhong said again: "In the past, Yao had the world, raised the outline, and ordered Shun and Yu; Xia, Yin, and Zhou belong to their sons, and those who don't glue are outstanding! Tang and Yu Xiang are only punished, and the meat after the summer is 3,000, and those who are not glued are outstanding! Yao pro-nine tribes, concord with all nations. Tang Wu Huanhuan, four grams of conquest. In other words, those who do not glue are outstanding. Those who achieve great things should not be confined to small sections. ”

Shen Chen asked tentatively: "What does that gentleman mean to let me give up the hatred of more than a hundred relatives, and when Cao Jun comes, tie my hands and feet and surrender to Cao Cao?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Zhong didn't speak, and sat there indifferently without moving.

But without speaking, everything has already been expressed.

The people around were not surprised, and they all had a natural expression.

Don't think they think weirdly.

At least in the eyes of the people at the time, there was nothing wrong with that.

For example, Lu Xun.

Does Lu Xun have a grudge against Sun Ce?

Of course.

More than 100 members of his family were killed by Sun Ce.

And then?

Born in Soochow, he spared no effort when he worked for Sun Quan.

It is true that the Han Dynasty is now shattered, but in the eyes of this group of old and young people of the Han Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to the king.

What is Cao Cao's identity now?

The Son of Heaven is close to the minister!

In the name of the Son of Heaven, he went to conquer the princes of the divided side.

In the eyes of Song Zhong and others, it was the righteous side.

Therefore, they thought that Shen Chen's rebellion against Cao's army at Huangmenting and finally eliminated 5,000 Cao's soldiers and killed Cao Cao's subordinate brother Cao Ren was an unjust move.

This represents that he is confronting the imperial court and weakening Cao Cao's strength.

And weakening Cao Cao's strength is weakening the strength of the Son of Heaven, making the possibility of the Son of Heaven recovering the lost territory greatly reduced.

Therefore, Song Zhong and the others are here, in fact, they are not discussing the hatred between Shen Chen and Cao Cao, but discussing the question of why Shen Chen wants to fight against the Son of Heaven.

They don't understand why Shen Chen wants to go against Cao, even if he kills more than 100 of your relatives, can't he give up his hatred in front of the Son of Heaven and be loyal to the imperial court?

Although this concept seems outrageous to later generations, it cannot be denied that this is indeed a certain kind of loyal monarch thought in the Han Dynasty, and many Confucians thought so during the Han and Han dynasties.

On the other hand, Shen Chen's response was also very smart, he tried his best to separate the Son of Heaven from Cao Cao.

Because Song Zhong tied Cao Cao to the Son of Heaven, they thought that Cao Cao was a loyal minister who was helping the Son of Heaven to restore the country.

Therefore, Shen Chen must correct this concept, first criticize Cao Cao's cruelty, and then use Confucius's words to tell everyone that Cao Cao is not a loyal minister who can help the Son of Heaven restore the country, on the contrary, his cruelty will make the people deviate from morality, thus ruining the reputation of the Son of Heaven.

At this point, Shen Chen's counterattack is still very good.

But unfortunately, it is still impossible to convince the people, who still stubbornly believe that you should not fight against the king's order no matter what.

This made Shen Chen laugh at himself with some disappointment: "Yes, the people are all grass and trees, and Cao Cao can turn a blind eye." If the Son of Heaven is killed, you can also sit in Jingzhou and ignore it. But how can I pretend not to see when my relatives are slaughtered and my homes are destroyed?

"Now Cao Cao's expedition to Nanyang is not only to conquer Zhang Xiu, but why did he send troops to attack my Huangmen Pavilion?"

"The Son of Heaven did not send the princes to slaughter the people, but the princes still tortured and killed living beings because of their own selfish desires, and the sword and axe came to your heads, will everyone agree?"

"At least for me, I never felt that Cao Cao would be able to serve the Son of Heaven Kuang Fu Han Dynasty; The Han family established the country with virtue, the ancestors of the ancestors established the world with benevolence and righteousness, and hung the people to fight crimes, which is the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Cao Thief said that he was a domineering auxiliary country, but in fact, he did something wrong in the name of the king, even if he finally recreated the Han family, what is the difference between it and the tyrannical Qin? ”

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Moreover, Cao Cao is not a saint or a virtuous person, so it cannot be the right way because he served the Son of Heaven. Could it be that Liu Yuanjun protected the territory and the people and treated the people of Jingzhou well, so he couldn't serve the Son of Heaven? ”

Hearing his words, someone said: "Ah Chen, do you want to eliminate Cao Cao, let Liu Yuanjun serve the Son of Heaven, and fight for the Son of Heaven to destroy the Son of Heaven?" ”

Shen Chen said: "The power of the state should be in the hands of capable and kind-hearted people, not in the hands of capable but brutal people. Zi said: "Killing without teaching is abuse; not to abstain from the violence of the so-called; Slow order is called a thief. "The country should be governed with leniency, and the lawbreakers should be dealt with with vigorously. Is there any reason to abandon righteousness and stoop to the knees of tyrannical thieves? ”

"Now that the Han Dynasty is withering, the wolf smoke is gradually rising everywhere, and the princes have ill intentions, if they are lenient, how can they convince the public?"

Others stood up against it.

Shen Chen said: "Leniency does not mean leniency to those rebellious princes, but to be lenient to the people, and harsh to those who commit rebellion, if the Son of Heaven and those who serve the Son of Heaven are harsh on everyone, it will be difficult to convince the public, just as the tyrannical Qin is heavy on utilitarianism, cruel law, and even the people's resentment is boiling." After Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, he reduced the land tax with light forced labor, and imposed lenient government, and the whole world obeyed it. ”

"It's too much."

Zhao Kui said: "Although Cao Cao has brutal behavior, but now he has been corrected by serving the Son of Heaven, I heard that he is recuperating in Yanzhou to recuperate the people's livelihood and appease the people, isn't this a crime to hang the people?" Is it because he has done a wrong thing that we stop listening to his words and watching his deeds? ”

Shen Chen said: "But listening to his words and watching his deeds, he still hasn't changed, hasn't he?" Hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, more than 1,000 people in our Huangmen Pavilion, and hundreds of people were slaughtered by him. We gave up the land and traveled thousands of miles back to the ancestral land of Nanyang, just to leave our hometown to avoid disaster, and we didn't want to die and annihilate, is this also wrong? But why did Cao Ren conquer the Yellow Gate Pavilion? It's not that I'm fighting against the royal road, but in fact, Cao Cao still doesn't change his brutality, and I'm helpless. ”

Song Zhong said in a deep voice: "But you can completely repel Cao Ren, but annihilate all the Cao army and kill Cao Ren's generals." Don't you hear about the death of Prince Chu and the destruction of Xiao Guo? Now Cao Cao in the name of the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, it will come to Nanyang again one day, will be angry with the people of Nanyang because of you, if he comes to attack Huangmen Pavilion again, Huangmen Pavilion is invincible and suffered slaughter, will it be too late to regret it? ”

"Shijun is saying that after I defeat Cao Ren, I should go to the table and ask for surrender?"

Shen Chen asked.

Song Zhong nodded: "This is natural, Cao Cao can accept Zhang Xiu's surrender, he has the will to tolerate people, surrender is not to surrender to Cao, but to descend to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is the lord of the world, isn't it the right thing to surrender to the court?" ”

Shen Chen laughed: "It's naturally right to have a heart for the imperial court, but this doesn't mean that Cao Cao is the imperial court." The Son of Heaven just entered Luoyang, Cao Cao led troops to meet in the name of serving the Son of Heaven, and then killed the heroes Tai Chong, Feng Shuo and others in order to take power, and killed the heroes, is this the will of the Son of Heaven? It is nothing more than Cao Cao's move to take over the power, and there is no conflict between serving the Son of Heaven and crusading against the unsubordinate thieves around the Son of Heaven. ”

"Ugh."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Shen Chen, Song Zhong sighed and said, "Ah Chen, Jingyi, you have defeated me, go down the mountain." ”

"Master ......"

Shen Chen looked at Song Zhong in a daze.

Song Zhong turned away and stopped looking at him. jújíá?y.?? m

"Brother Zhongxuan, Brother Chengming, Brother Derong, Brother Hongguang?"

Shen Chen looked at his best friends in the academy again, but Wang Cang and Pan Jun also didn't say a word.

In the final analysis, it was because Shen Chen had a different position from them.

Including Wang Cang, these big families, the so-called Confucians, never cared about the life and death of the people.

What they care about is the so-called righteousness of the Son of Heaven.

Cao Cao now represents the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, and disobeying Cao Cao is disobeying the Son of Heaven in their eyes.

Even if Shen Chen and Cao Cao had a blood feud, even if Cao Jun hit the Yellow Gate Pavilion, in their opinion, Shen Chen should not kill Cao Ren Lejin and offend Cao Cao to death.

So at this moment, Shen Chen had already severed and clashed with their ignorant and stubborn thoughts because of his position.

This was already reflected last time when Shen Chen, Wang Cang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu had dinner together.

The high-ranking magnates ignored the life and death of the bottom, and the famous and Confucian scholars cherished their prestige more, and in their eyes, ignorance and loyalty to the monarch and the power they wanted from the Son of Heaven were far more important than the so-called benevolence, righteousness and love for the people.

Therefore, Song Zhong was also ashamed of the apprentices he taught, but he wanted to disobey the court and let him go down the mountain.

Even Wang Cang, Pan Jun and others were originally friends, but because of their different thoughts, they may eventually part ways.

For a while, Shen Chen was a little disheartened.

Actually, everyone is not wrong.

At least at the time, there was nothing wrong with the idea.

Later, Wang Cang and Song Zhong all took refuge in Cao Cao, which also proved this.

In fact, not only Wang Cang and Song Zhong, but most of the so-called celebrities in Jingzhou think so.

In addition to Pang Degong, Handan Chun, Du Xi, Zhao Yan, Fanqin and other great Confucian celebrities in Jingzhou all defected because Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven.

Later, Liu Cong offered Jingzhou, and even Sima Hui did not refuse Cao Cao's expedition, but he died of illness before he could take office.

So to some extent, the political prestige that Fengying the Son of Heaven brought to Cao Cao is unimaginable.

Otherwise, before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's performance was much stronger than Cao Cao's. If it weren't for Cao Cao's Liu Xie, then the Jingzhou scholars would definitely support Yuan Shao instead of Cao Cao.

Now because of Shen Chen's resistance to Cao Cao's behavior, it was difficult for him to stand on his own feet in the same sect, and he was extremely disappointed for a while, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Song Zhong and said: "Although I have different morals from Shijun, but Shijun is strict and respectful, that is, he has left the academy, I also remember Shi's kindness, Chen, say goodbye, but one day, Shijun will understand that Cao Cao is not a good person, and he will see it one day." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Everyone just looked at it, Wang Cang wanted to speak and stopped, Pan Jun's eyes couldn't bear it, and the rest of the teachers and students had different faces, but most of them were sorry.

Song Zhong did not stay, and he was later reprimanded by Liu Bei, which actually proved that his thoughts were completely inconsistent with Shen Chen.

Although he is knowledgeable, why is Yangxiong still the crown of two Hans, isn't he also succumbing to Wang Mang and being despised by Zhuge Liang?

Therefore, there are countless people who admire the powerful, and there are also countless people who follow ignorant thoughts as the guideline, and everyone is different.

Only a small child in the crowd had a bright eye, and suddenly said: "Brother Ah Chen, I think you are right, I will also go down the mountain with you." ”

Everyone saw that it was a sixteen-year-old child, and Zhou Budo, who often followed behind Shen Chen on weekdays.

Although Zhou Budo is not very old, he is very intelligent, and after Liu Xian sent him up the mountain last year, he worshiped under Song Zhongmen.

Song Zhong didn't want to take the child, because Zhou Budo was too young, so he let Shen Chen take it.

Originally, Liu Xian had asked Shen Chen to take care of him, so Shen Chen did not refuse, although he was also very busy and didn't have much effort to manage, but as long as Zhou Budo had something to understand, he would definitely teach carefully.

Over the past year, Zhou Budo has learned a lot of knowledge from Shen Chen, and he has long regarded Shen Chen as a teacher, and now that he is leaving, he naturally wants to follow.

Anyway, Song Zhong was nominally his teacher, and the knowledge he taught him was not as much as one-tenth of what Shen Chen taught him, so it was better to follow Shen Chen.

Seeing that only Zhou Budo was willing to follow him, Shen Chen laughed and said, "Hahahaha, okay, no doubt, then you can go down the mountain with me." Master, fellow brothers, I am out of the mountain. "It is difficult to know the truth, but it will be done", I will "combine knowledge and action", let time prove everything, and see who is right and who is wrong! ”

After that, he took Zhou Budo's hand and left the academy without looking back.

In this place full of the worst ideas of feudalism, he did not want to stay any longer.

Then get out of here and let the whole of Jingzhou see if he is right or wrong to fight Cao Cao!

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
