Chapter 22, Jing Ke

Ziyou drove towards the capital of Yan State, Jicheng, Yan State as the second-to-last existence of the Chinese power of the Seven Kingdoms, once also brilliant, King Yan Zhao set up a golden platform, a thousand gold to buy horse bones, attracted countless wise men into Yan, Le Yi attacked Qi and Qin Kai broke through Donghu Korea, so that the national strength of Yan reached its peak.

But after the death of King Yan Zhao, the Yan State declined rapidly, but the foundation of the original strong country is still there, not weak, after the Battle of Changping, the Yan State tried to take advantage of the fire to rob, but was beaten by the Zhao State, and the fight was to lose the armor and completely become a weak country.

And the subsequent kings were completely rotten, resulting in the Yan Kingdom being inferior to the next generation, the upper class continued to oppress the people, the court was corrupt, Yan Chunjun covered the sky with one hand, and the Yan King hid in the deep palace and lived a life of drunken dreams and death.

There has been no war in Yan for many years, but the people are still poorly clothed and hungry, coupled with the heavy snow in Yan last winter, the affected people were displaced, and the victims can be seen everywhere.

Ziyou was driving the carriage, and suddenly heard a fight, Ziyou followed the sound, only to see a young man besieged by a group of people, and there was a young man holding a long qin standing on the side.

The besieged youth shot while drinking, the shot was not very amazing, they were all some very ordinary moves, but every minute and inch was just right, and the skills could be called good, as for the ranger who besieged the youth, it was completely a three-legged cat kung fu, and he was soon beaten to the ground by the youth.

The young man drank the wine in his hand and looked in the direction of Ziyou

"Your Excellency has been watching for so long, please show up?"

Ziyou appeared in front of the two of them in a carriage, got off the horse and saluted

"Your Excellency is a good worker, and you have no malice when you hear the sound below."

"If I can let Mr. Ziyou, a Confucian who has a heart for the world, have ill will be malicious to me, it is also my honor for Jing Ke." The young man laughed.

The young man holding the piano on the side heard Jing Ke say Ziyou's name, and he couldn't help but look surprised and looked at Ziyou incredulously

"Is Your Excellency Mr. Ziyou of Little Sage Village?"

"It's me, I didn't expect Your Excellency to recognize me?" Ziyou smiled bitterly, hey, reputation is trouble, and you can be recognized when you go out.

"Of course, I was fortunate to see the debate between Mr. Ziyou and Mr. Gongsun Bai at the beginning of the year, and I admired the righteousness in Mr. Bai's heart very much." Jing Ke said, "In Xia Jing Ke, a ranger, this is my friend, Gao gradually left, and he is a well-known musician in Yan Kingdom. ”

Looking at the two people in front of him, Ziyou was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet Jing Ke and Gao Yanli, the two key characters in the original book, in this wilderness, looking at Gao Yanli with a trace of gloom on his face, thinking of the rumors he heard on the road, Zhao Guole, Kuang Xiu assisted the rebel general of Qin to escape from the border of Qin and was convicted, and became a prisoner of the order, and two young people came to rob the law field in the execution field.

In the end, Kuang Xiu played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" with one of the young people, and finally committed suicide and died with a smile. And the two young men fought their way out of the siege and disappeared.

Looks like these two people are them.

"I don't know where Mr. Ziyou is going? Why don't we go together? Jing Ke warmly invited that as a ranger, his favorite thing to do is to make friends.

"I'm going to the capital of Yan Kingdom, Jicheng." Ziyou said.

"It just so happens that we're going to Jicheng too, how about we go together?" Jing Ke hooked Ziyou's shoulder very familiarly, and without waiting for Ziyou to speak, he pulled the carriage and left.

"Good." Ziyou didn't object.

Jing Ke is a big man, he has no scheming, he just wants to be a ranger who punishes evil and promotes good, and bragged to Ziyou on the road about punishing evil and promoting good these days, Ziyou is still willing to make friends with people like Jing Ke.

As for Gao Yuanli, who has been silent behind him and always has a trace of pain and regret in his eyes, Ziyou doesn't want to have anything to do with him, because he will be affected by such a fool, and he doesn't even know how to die.

At night, the trio sat around a campfire.

"Mr. Ziyou, I heard that the Seven Kingdoms visited the Little Sage Village and invited you to go out of the mountain, but you were rejected by the countries you traveled, and now there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that you are here to visit various countries on the spot in order to make a final choice, is it true or false?" Jing Ke asked curiously.

"No, I'm traveling because I'm missing something." Ziyou shook his head and said.

"What's that?" Jing Ke's eyes were full of curiosity, and Gao Yanli also cast a curious gaze.

Ziyou just smiled at this and didn't say more, looking at Ziyou's behavior of selling Guanzi, Jing Ke could only be anxious and said

"You people just like to sell off and talk halfway."

It's not that Ziyou doesn't want to say it, it's that he doesn't know what he's missing, he just has a feeling that his crucial step into the Grandmaster requires him to come out and travel.

"What I'm missing, I don't understand myself, why did you two go to Jicheng?" Ziyou looked at Jing Ke and Gao and asked.

Gao Yanli and Jing Ke were stunned for a moment, and Jing Ke was just about to tell about their robbery of the law field, when he heard Gao Yanli take a step forward

"He was entrusted to escort me back to Jicheng, I was originally a luthier, and I was invited to come to Feixue Pavilion as a luthier."

Jing Ke looked at Gao Yuanli in some surprise, but he didn't say anything, he was just arrogant, and he wasn't a fool, but he didn't feel the need to hide it from Ziyou, in his opinion, Ziyou could already become that kind of sage.

In this period, reputation and appearance are the first factors to measure a person, and anyone like Ziyou is the first to react that this is a virtuous and capable person, so Jing Ke is willing to believe in Ziyou.

"Feixue Pavilion, is it rumored that it is called the Feixue Pavilion of the North Snow and the South Flower along with Wanhualou?" Ziyou asked with interest.

Jing Ke just wanted to say that a great sage like Ziyou didn't know about such a luxurious place as Feixue Pavilion, but he didn't expect Ziyou to start discussing Wanhualou and Feixue Pavilion with Jing Ke with great interest, but this made Jing Ke have a lot more good feelings for Ziyou, and everyone is a fellow practitioner.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Ziyou to know a lot about this kind of dusty place." Jing Ke laughed heartily.

"It's just a little heard, Fei Xue Pavilion has only heard of it, a song of Lingbo Feiyan is the best in the world, but there are almost no people who can see it, and when the flowers of Wanhualou are blooming, I have seen it once, and it is quite shocking." Zi lobbied and gave a thumbs up.

"Oh, let's hear it." Jing Ke approached Ziyou and asked with a gossipy face, he hadn't seen these two, the first Feixue Pavilion was the famous Jinjin Cave in Yan Kingdom, but it was not from him, a ranger who went in and out of the rivers and lakes, and Wanhualou, although it was not as luxurious as Feixue Pavilion, but it was not something that ordinary people could consume.

Ziyou and Jing Ke, one began to speak, the other began to listen, didn't the two of them still express their opinions, Gao gradually separated from the two who looked like disciples, and narrowed the distance.

And Jing Ke and Ziyou looked at each other with more eyes, and they hated to see each other late, as if they couldn't wait to enter the Wanhua Building side by side.
