Outside Songhai City, Xiaoyaozi's figure shuttled rapidly through the woods, and behind him, the figure of the Six Sword Slaves followed closely behind.

Xiaoyaozi killed the Luo Wang killer in the west city of Songhai City, which attracted Zhao Gao's attention, so he sent the six sword slaves who came back from Xiaoshengxian Village and began to hunt down Xiaoyaozi.

began to flee from Songhai City, and now Xiaoyaozi has been fleeing for a day and a night, and he has not thrown off the six sword slaves, and his traces have been bitten by the other party.

Songhai City.

Zhao Gao put aside the matter of Xiao Shengxian Zhuang for the time being, and went all out to kill the personnel of all forces in the city.

The killers of the net are acting all the time, the atmosphere in Songhai City is full of soldiers, and all the hundreds of forces have begun to be targeted by the net, whether they are enemies or not, they will be killed when they see it.

As soon as the whole Songhai arrives at night, the forces and nets running back and forth on the streets appear one after another, and you go back and forth to fight, and no one obeys anyone.

It was another night, the people in the city went home early, the flow of people on the streets quickly disappeared, and the lively Songhai City during the day was quiet in a short time.

Yan Yan came to the roof, looked at the black shadow that flashed quickly on the street, and waited for Zhao Gao to arrive.

The moonlight was brighter, and Zhao Gao's figure appeared on the side.

Yan Yan: "Luo Net's recent actions have gone off the trajectory. ”

Zhao Gao: "Master Tai, rest assured, everything is in the plan at the moment." ”

Yan Yan: "Little Sage Village is safe and sound now, and it is also your plan. ”

Zhao Gao: "Yes, that's right. ”

Yan Yan: "Tell me. ”

Zhao Gao "At present, if you directly attack the Little Sage Village, the reputation of the empire will be stained, and only by taking the initiative to make a move than the Little Sage Village, will the empire not have any stains." ”

Yan Yan: "The net is now acting vigorously in Songhai City, just to ensure that this stain does not occur. ”

Zhao Gao: "That's good. ”

"Most of the forces in Songhai City are led by Confucianism, and most of them have joined the so-called Blue Dragon Project of the Mo family, as long as they are attacked, Confucianism will definitely not stand idly by."

"As long as the Confucian disciples make a move, then they can take this opportunity to put the hat of a thief on the other party's head."

"When the time comes, the empire only needs to destroy Confucianism in the name of exterminating the rebels."

Yan Yan: "If Confucianism held back and didn't make a move, what would you do?" ”

Zhao Gao: "No, Confucianism will definitely make a move." ”

Yan Yan: "You're so sure. ”

Zhao Gao: "Not to mention the rest of the Confucian disciples, Zhang Liang alone will inevitably choose to make a move." ”

"Since Zhang Liang is also a participant in the Blue Dragon Project, it is impossible for him to sit idly by and let the forces in Songhai City exterminate them one by one."

Yan Yan: "Since these are your means, then I hope that the little sage village will disappear into Songhai City within ten days, you have no opinion." ”

Zhao Gao: "Master Tai, rest assured, within ten days, the little sage village will disappear in Songhai City." ”

Yan Yan nodded and motioned for the other party to continue to work.

Zhao Gao saluted and disappeared on the roof, and his actions in the past few days not only found out the situation in the Little Sage Village, but also found out the specific list of people in Songhai City who participated in the Blue Dragon Plan.

Zhao Gao also had to convince the Mo family, and actually persuaded so many forces and personnel in Songhai, more than three times the list he got from Yan Dan's mouth, it is really not to underestimate those who choose to take risks for the sake of glory and wealth.

People's desires really grow infinitely, and after life is guaranteed, they want to get more things, and for this thing, life is completely forgotten.

Zhao Gao came to the door of a house in the middle of the night, knocked on the door, and stood outside the door to wait.

Inside the house, the owner woke up instantly and looked out of the courtyard, at this moment he was very frightened in his heart, that is, he was afraid that it would be the net that would come to the door, and he was afraid that it would be the Mo family who would come to the door.

At the beginning, the disciples of the Mo family came to the door and said that they wanted to overthrow the Qin Empire and restore the countries, and he agreed to come down with his patronage, but it was not a few days before he was happy, and Luo Wang wantonly arrested such people in the city, and he was directly frightened.

In the past few days, I didn't dare to go out of the door, no one was seen, and I sent a few children away, worrying day after day.

"Who?"

Zhao Gao didn't speak, and continued to knock on the door, and at the same time, the killer of the net had already surrounded the house.

The man did not reply, but clutched the sword at his waist and walked towards the door, where he wanted to see who was outside.

Zhao Gao took a step back, dodging the sharp sword that passed through the door, and then the door shattered, and a figure rushed out, rushing towards the wall.

Just as the figure was about to run against the wall and flee, a killer appeared in front of him from the ground and slashed his left leg with a sword, causing him to fall to the ground.

The man looked at the killers around him, and when he saw Zhao Gao's figure appear, the whole person was directly stunned.

Zhao Gao looked down at him and said softly, "Li Shi, the former secretary of the Qi State, colluded with the Mo family to rebel, and he should be killed according to the law." ”

Li Shi kept kowtowing on the ground, begging to spare his life.

Zhao Gao: "I want to live." ”

Li Shi: "Yes, yes. ”

Zhao Gao: "If you want to live, it's very simple, write everything you know. ”

Li Shi: "I don't know much, I only know that they are Korean princesses and old nobles, as well as Mohists and Taoists, calligraphers, and painters. ”

Zhao Gao "took him down and wrote." ”

Since someone took Li Shi away, Zhao Gao took these people out of the mansion and continued to rush towards the next target.

After one night, the net harvested a few more hidden old nobles.

Songhai's information continued to be sent to Gai Nie's hands through the Purple Girl, and Gai Nie and Zhang Liang once again got together to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Gai Nie: "Right now, the actions of the nets in the city of Sanghou are becoming more and more intensive, and those nobles who have joined the Blue Dragon Project have begun to waver, and if they continue, they may be exposed. ”

Zhang Liang: "The net is now trying to force us to stand up, and the plan to disrupt the sight of the net has lost its effect, and the plan must be changed." ”

Gai Nie: "What should we do next, is it necessary to abandon Songhai and transfer." ”

Zhang Liang lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Yes, Songhai has lost the role of continuing to hide, and the actions of the net here have completely scared the courage of those nobles to death, so giving up Songhai is also a good choice." ”

"Since that's the case, let's start organizing people to retreat, and if we continue to stay here, we will only lose our lives in vain." ”

Zhang Liang: "You are in charge of this matter, and I will continue to leave Songhai to keep an eye on the traces of the net, so as not to make any plans to deal with the net, and we don't know at all." ”

Gai Nie nodded and agreed to Zhang Liang's proposal.

The two separated, and Zhang Liang returned to Xiaoshengxian Village and walked towards the back mountain.

Zhang Liang came to Xunzi's bamboo house and asked the boy to go to tell him, and Zhang Liang stood outside the courtyard and waited.

The boy came to open the bamboo house, looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Third Master, Mr. let you in." ”

Zhang Liang nodded, walked through the courtyard into the bamboo house, and after seeing Xunzi, he saluted and said, "I've seen Uncle Shi." ”

Xunzi looked up at Zhang Liang and said, "Sit." ”

Zhang Liang sat in the guest seat, and Xunzi asked, "Come here and make peace." ”

Zhang Liang "came for the situation in Songhai City. ”

"Now that Luo Wang is wantonly chasing and killing hundreds of disciples and members of various forces in the city, it has already panicked the people in Songhai City."

"And our Little Sage Village has always been the head of the hundred schools of Songhai City, and the ultimate goal of the students is afraid of Confucianism, which is the Little Sage Village."

Xunzi looked at Zhang Liang for a long time and didn't speak, and after a long time, Xunzi lowered his head and sighed and said, "Even you can't see it, how can Fu Nian not see it?" ”

"It's just that one decision of Fu Nian will determine the future of the entire Confucianism and the entire Little Sage Village, so he needs someone who can help him make a decision."

Zhang Liang: "Uncle Shi, this person can't be given to me, only you." ”

"My background and behavior have made me lose my neutral attitude, once I go to persuade the senior brother, it will only make him more and more confused, and even end up doubting himself."

Xunzi: "I already know about this, and when the time comes, I will naturally go to see it and remind Fu Nian." ”

"This time the Qin Empire's actions, Confucianism wants to stay out of the matter is already a fool's dream."

"In the battle of the general trend of the world, the goal of the empire is too grand, and internal stability has become the first problem to be solved by the empire."

"And the actions of the hundreds of schools of thought and the forces of all parties overlap and oppose each other with the actions of the empire, so they will naturally become enemies of each other."

Zhang Liang: "The Qin Empire does not allow people from a hundred schools of thought, not a hundred schools of learning, but it is precisely in this way that the current situation will be formed." ”

Xunzi took the test for Zhang Liang's knowledge before letting him go, among the brothers of Fu Nian, Yan Lu, and Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang is the one who has the clearest view of the situation, and the most suitable one to make trade-offs.

Fu Nian has the most profound knowledge, and he has his own unique views on the Confucian classics, Yan Lu is the most gentlemanly, and he is proficient in the golden mean.

Xunzi looked up at the window, and the future path of Confucianism finally took the path that he did not want to see.

Zhang Liang met Yan Lu on the way back to the house, and the two walked in the corridor without speaking.

On the occasion of separation, Yan Lu said, "The decision has been made." ”

Zhang Liang nodded, then looked at the bamboo forest outside the corridor and said, "The current situation, Senior Brother sees it very clearly, except for such a path to choose, Confucianism has no road to go." ”

Yan Lu: "The Qin Empire does not want to have the strength to obey him in the territory under his control, no matter whether this force is good or bad, it must be eradicated." ”

Zhang Liang: "This is also the fundamental reason for this netting operation, otherwise Yingzheng would not have allowed such a thing to happen." ”

Yan Lu nodded and turned to leave.

Zhang Liang returned to the room, took out the Taigong Art of War and Huangshi Gongluo and began to look at it, the more he studied, the more he could find the differences.

Yan Lu came to the outside of Fu Nian's room, knocked on the door and waited, and after a while, Fu Nian's voice came out, "Come in." ”

Yan Lu pushed the door in, and saw Fu Nian, who was reading at night, and said, "I've seen senior brother." ”

Fu Nian: "What's the matter at such a late hour?" ”

Yan Lu: "The future of Confucianism." ”

Fu Nian put down the book in his hand, looked up at Yan Lu and said, "Say, what is your choice?" ”

Yan Lu: "Since Senior Brother has seen the current situation, he has already understood my choice. ”

Fu Nian: "In the current situation, you should also understand what Confucianism will face if you take that step, and what the final result will be. ”

Yan Lu "understands, but because he understands, he needs to make a decision early." ”

"Otherwise, it will be too late for others to force Confucianism to make a decision."

Yan Lu: "Senior brother also understands that this is no longer something that can be solved by retreating, what is the purpose behind the reckless actions of the net in the city. ”

"If you continue to wait, Confucianism will fall into passivity at that time, and the little sage village will become the eucalyptus meat of the net, and it will be cut by the net."

Fu Nian looked at Yan Lu, who was calmly telling everything, and nodded in agreement with the other party's point of view.

He knew Luo Wang's every move in Songhai City, and he also knew that everything behind it was for the sake of the Little Sage Village, but he knew even more that once the disciples in the Little Sage Village made a decision, what kind of fate would they face, and this end made him unable to make up his mind.

Yan Lu got up and said, "I will say goodbye to my senior brother first, this matter should be sooner rather than later." ”

Fu Nian looked at the door that was closed by Yan Lu, his brows were locked under the candlelight, and he seriously thought about what Yan Lu said.

At dawn the next day, Fu Nian came to the back mountain and met Xunzi.

Xunzi looked at Fu Nian, put a cup of tea in front of him, looked at him and said, "The most difficult thing for people to do is to make a choice, especially when this choice is related to life and death, the difficulty is even higher. ”

Fu Nian: "According to Uncle Shi's opinion, how can we make the best decision for this choice." ”

Xunzi looked at Fu Nian and shook his head and said, "There is no best, no matter what you do, the final result will be death, so this choice will be a good choice if more people can survive." ”

Xunzi "In this matter, no one can help you, only you can see everything behind this and understand what the consequences of everything behind this will be in the end, so that you can make the same choice as your junior brother with a clear conscience." ”

"If you make a decision without seeing it through, then even if the decision reaches the best result in the end, it will still be an answer without an answer to you, not your answer."

Fu Nian looked down at the teacup in front of him, and the mist slowly rose, obscuring his reflection in the glass.

Xunzi "You don't have any burden on what decision you make, since there is no objection when you are elected as the head of the Little Sage Village, then it has been proved that you are not in the knowledge and cultivation of the Little Sage Village." ”

"It also means that when we go to these people, we will follow the orders of the master, and we will not abandon morality because we are afraid of life and death."

Fu Nian picked up the teacup and drank it all, put down the cup and said, "Fu Nian understands, thank you Uncle for solving your doubts." ”

After saying that, Fu Nian left here and walked towards the lecture hall of Xiao Shengxian Village, and then he wanted to announce the next path of Xiao Shengxian Zhuang and make a guarantee for the lives of Confucian disciples.

Xunzi looked at Fu Nian's back, turned around and walked in the other direction, since Fu Nian had decided, then their old bones should also move.
