The next day, I called Li Si, Yu He, and Tai Yue.

"Taishi Ling, are the things for the sacrifice of Jiuzhi Mountain ready?" There are Shun Tomb, Shun Temple in Jiuzhi Mountain, since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty there to worship Emperor Shun, when Yingzheng inspected Changsha County, let Meng Yi instead of going to sacrifice, the emperors of later generations also have many sacrifices, but basically are remote sacrifices, this time the place selected by Taiyue is in Hengshan Yao Sacrifice.

Tai Yue arched her hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, you have already prepared, and you can leave tomorrow." ”

I nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Don't accompany the sacrificial convoy this time, except for me and you, everyone else is waiting in Xiangxian County, although there is Wuguan Road to the south, but the road conditions are not very good, and there are few people to make it easier to act." ”

Li Si frowned slightly, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if there is no one to follow, the minister is worried about Your Majesty's safety." ”

Yu He was also a little worried, it was too few to bring only twenty people, and he opened his mouth to advise: "Your Majesty, let's go with everyone, it will take half a month to go back and forth, and the time it takes to go alone with Your Majesty is basically the same." ”

The road to the south is complicated, there are barbarians around, and Chu Mo is not what he said, I can't help but be a little worried, and I pondered for a long time and said: "That's it, Tai Shi Ling went with the sacrificial team, and I disguised myself as a merchant behind me, and twenty musketeers disguised as porters, so that I could be safe." ”

Along the way, I didn't find a chance to go out alone to see how the real people of Daqin lived, and this was a rare opportunity.

————

Three days later, near the stage.

A group of merchants were setting up tents, and a porter approached the leader: "The head of the family will be able to arrive in Hengshan tomorrow." ”

It was me and the twenty clean rooms, and when I heard Meng He's words, I raised my eyes and pointed not far away, "That's the Xiangjiang River, right?" Come with me and see. ”

The rest of the people were setting up tents, and I took Meng He and four or five people to walk slowly, but they arrived at the riverside in half an hour.

The surging river goes south, a piece of golden light ripples with the waves, although it has fallen recently, there are still fishermen fishing on the river, and there are women in the riverside raccoons.

Thinking of Qu Yuan, I couldn't help but say: "Qu Yuan once said that the whole world is turbid and I am alone, everyone is drunk and I am sober, but the fisherman said that the water of the waves is clear, and I can wet my hair; The water of the waves is turbid, and you can wet my feet. Now that more than 70 years have passed, who is right and which is wrong? ”

Before Meng He could answer, a voice came from the grass next to him: "Qu Zi seeks the country, and the fisherman makes a living, how can it be compared?" ”

Meng He and the others were shocked, they didn't even notice that there was someone next to them, and instantly surrounded me in the center, and their hands had already touched the short gun behind them.

In the vigilant gaze of several people, a person stood up from the grass, about thirty years old, dressed as a fisherman, slowly lifted a fishing rod from the water, his eyes did not squint, only stared at a palm-long grass carp, calmly took it off, put the bait back and threw it into the river.

I waved my hand and signaled for a few people not to be nervous.

He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Haven't asked for advice yet?" ”

The fisherman has the temperament of a worldly master, and said indifferently: "People have no appearance, why do you need to be famous?" It's just a fisherman, and it's not a matter of respect. Listen to you not like the Chu people? ”

Meng He's brows furrowed slightly, this person spoke so rudely. I didn't care, the fisherman seemed to have a special meaning during the Qin and Han dynasties, such as talking to Qu Yuan, such as persuading Xiang Yu to cross the river, they were all fishermen.

"I'm coming from Nanyang and selling some goods here. I just said what I said, but I don't dare to agree. How about seeking a country? What about making a living? The fisherman makes a living by fishing, and the doctor makes a living by benefiting the country, how can it not be compared? ”

The fisherman snorted coldly, glanced at him obliquely, and sneered: "Eli is the first, and your words are like Qin people!" ”

I raised my eyebrows, a little unhappy, and kindly chatted with you, you also played personal attacks and regional discrimination, right?

Then he said-for-tat: "If you are all Qin people today, you don't look like an old man in the mountains, but you open your mouth and close your mouth to the Qin people, which is extremely rude!" Rats have skin, but people have no manners! People have no ceremony, what is it to not die?! Guan Zi said: Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough and knows honor and disgrace, how is Guan Zhong compared to you? If Eli hadn't taken the lead, you would be fishing by the river at this moment to emulate Jiang Taigong, not to fill your stomach? Compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Jiang Shang with your talents? It's just hilarious! ”

The fisherman was scolded by me, his lips trembled with anger, his face turned blue, he stretched out his hand and pointed at me and stammered, "You...... Sophism! Qin people, tigers and wolves, don't know etiquette and righteousness! I have nothing to say to you! ”

I sneered, and Nima's personal attack, right?

"Tiger wolf? I'm quite satisfied with this skin, looking at your big head and thick neck, like a dwarf, compared to you, I can be described as handsome and magnificent. Etiquette? King Wen of Chu had applied for Deng, and when he turned around, he destroyed the Deng State; King Chu Huai forgot his righteousness when he saw that he was righteous, and betrayed the Qi State and attached to the Qin State for the sake of a mere six-mile business, do you talk to me about etiquette and righteousness? It's so faceless! ”

Although King Chu Huai betrayed the Qi State first, but in the end, Zhang Yi did not pay attention to it, and insisted on saying that six hundred miles was six miles, and the Qin State also lost its morality, but I expected that the sunspots in this region had no culture, so it would be right to spray him.

Sure enough, after saying this, the fisherman already rolled his eyes, shook the fishing rod in his hand, and said angrily: "What a boy with sharp teeth! Do you dare to go back to the village with me, my eldest brother will be able to refute your sophistry! ”

I sneered, the regional sunspot has neither logic nor brain, although there are more nearby villages, but now many of them live in the same race, in case he thinks not of convincing people with reason, but convincing people with strength, I am not making trouble for myself in vain? A normal person wouldn't go with him.

I looked at him like a fool and sneered, "Why, if your eldest brother can't talk about me, do you still have to call your father and grandfather out?" I don't bother to argue with you anymore. Meng He, go. ”

Ignoring the fisherman's smoke in the back seven orifices, I took Meng He straight back to the camp.

During the meal, Meng He's eyes were a little sharp, and he arched his hand and said: "Master, I think something is wrong with the fisherman, do you want people to investigate?" ”

I was stunned and wondered, "It's just a country man, what's wrong?" ”

Meng He shook his head slightly, as if he was also entangled, and hesitated: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have an intuition about danger, and that fisherman is hiding in the grass under our feet, and I didn't even notice it. But after he came out, I saw that there seemed to be a dodge between his eyebrows and eyes, and this place should be Chu Mo's range of activities, and the clean room did not detect anything wrong, this person seemed quite strange. ”

I smiled softly, not taking it to heart, as my bodyguards, they were very suspicious, and they didn't care: "It's okay, forgive him for not making a big wave." If Chu Mo's people find out my identity, then the riverside is a good opportunity to do it, and they won't miss it. Let's eat in peace. ”
