Gong Xihua (Huanglong), Duanmuci (Yang Jian), Zixia (Dijiu), and Zaiyu (Xuanyuan) chatted very speculatively.

Other disciples were in small groups, also exchanging opinions.

Zilu said to Ran You and others: "Do you know? A while ago, Mr. Gongsun, the head of a famous family, relied on his power of words to 'confuse right and wrong' to resist the Yan State's 100,000-strong army from the north!"

"He is indeed a great master as famous as Keiko!"

Ran nodded slightly: "If Zou Yan, the head of the Yin Yang family, had not come forward to meet with Gong Sun Long in person, I am afraid that the Yan Kingdom would have collapsed this time."

"Who says it's not the case!" Tantai Mieming sighed with emotion: "But the Yin Yang family's 'Five Elements Emperor Fist' is really terrifying. It is said that Mr. Gongsun was trapped in the 'Kyuzhou World' by Zou Zi and was beaten severely for three days and three nights!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that too."

"Mr. Gongsun's words were too sharp, which made Zou Zi so angry that he broke his guard. In the end, the two of them fought, and Mr. Gongsun was beaten completely without temper!"

At the end, Ran You looked at the stern-faced Zi Lu with a smile: "Senior Brother Jinpeng, you praised famous people before, do you know if you will see the end of this 'venomous tongue' this time?"

"Where did you hear the news?" Zilu defended with a dark face: "The head of the famous family was beaten by the head of the Yin and Yang family. That is completely a rumor!"

"Do you understand the rumors?!"

Zilu said loudly: "Although Zou Zi is the reincarnation of His Majesty Haotian, Mr. Gongsun is also the reincarnation of the killing god Styx!"

"Leave aside the fact that Mr. Gongsun Long talks nonsense, his strength cannot be questioned."

"Furthermore, Mr. Gongsun Long has understood the way of 'Jian Bai', and it is not a matter of life and death. No matter how strong Zou Zi's Five Elements Emperor Fist is, he will never be able to defeat Gongsun!"

Seeing how excited Zilu was, Ran You and Tantai Mieming comforted him: "Yes, yes, brother Jinpeng, what we heard are rumors! Rumors!"

"Uncle Minghe, even if he is defeated by the Emperor of Heaven, it is enough to prove his power."

When Zilu heard this, he became anxious again: "How can it be called a failure in the affairs of the disciples?"

"That's just a slight disadvantage in terms of theory."

"Oh no, Mr. Gongsun was not defeated at all!"

The excited Zi Lu spoke incoherently. He looked at Ran You and Tantai Mieming, who were looking at him with narrow faces, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Anyway, Mr. Gongsun definitely didn't lose!"

"At best, we are invincible!"

Zilu's tone was a little weaker, but he was still stubborn.

In response, Ran You and Tantai Mieming just smiled.

On the other side, Zeng Shen came to Yan Hui's side. He picked up the bamboo slips on the table and started to read them.

"Hui, how is the compilation of The Analects of Confucius going?"

Suddenly, when he saw a certain line or sentence, he couldn't help but smile.

"Zengzi said: A scholar cannot be without great perseverance. The responsibilities are long and the road ahead is long!"

"good!"

"Remember this!"

Zeng Shen touched his palms and smiled. He then looked down, and sure enough he saw his classic quotations such as "Three inspections of myself" and "Ten eyes to see".

"Hui, I have some small words and great meanings here. Do you want to write them down too?" Beside Yan Hui, a wisp of azure aura of awe-inspiring power suddenly flashed past, and an elegant scholar walked out of the void. His sleeves were inlaid with inlays.

Embroidered with gold threads and auspicious clouds, there is a vermilion and white jade belt around the waist, with a Yin and Yang exquisite waist pendant hanging on it.

"Ziyou, are you back from the Chu Kingdom?" Yan Hui's eyes lit up when he saw the visitor, and he took the bamboo slip handed to him.

Yan Hui lowered his head, looked down, and recited softly: "It is humiliating to serve as many kings as you do; it is so sparse to have friends as many as you want!"

If you serve the emperor too tediously, you will be insulted; if you treat your friends too tediously, you will be alienated.

This statement is easy to understand, and Yan Hui's understanding is basically not as ambiguous as Zi Lu's.

"It seems that Ziyou's experience in Chu was not a good one!" Yan Hui smiled. He wrote it down carefully and then handed the bamboo slips back to Ziyou.

"The trip to the Chu Kingdom is not good at all."

Ziyou found a seat and sat down. He secretly glanced at the master who was sitting quietly under the apricot tree, then he smiled and said to Yan Hui: "After all, apart from some troubles in the Chu Kingdom, this trip south, I

I also met two military gods from the military strategist."

"Wu Zixu and Sun Wu?"

Zeng Shen sat up straight and almost blurted out. He looked at Ziyou with envy and regretted not following him.

"Is Shenglin also interested in military strategists?" Ziyou looked at the excited Zeng Shen with interest.

Zeng Shen nodded without thinking: "Of course!"

"Among the Six Arts of the Gentleman, I am good at chastity and archery. I have recently consulted Master on the art of war. It would be best if I could get guidance from the military master!"

Yan Hui on the side nodded and said with a smile: "This is true."

"A few days ago, Shenglin went to the battlefield of the two realms to participate in the Six Arts Assessment. He drove a chariot in front of the battle and shot and killed nine enemy demon vanguards one after another!"

Ziyou laughed loudly when he heard this: "That's it."

"Presumably after this battle, Master must have talked to Shenglin, so Shenglin's interest in military strategists greatly increased, right?"

"Senior Brother Tianlu knows the Master better." Zeng Shen nodded with a smile.

Ziyou touched his chin: "If Shenglin wants to meet some of the big guys from the military strategist, there will be a more suitable opportunity next."

"Senior Brother Tianlu, did you mean 'the philosophers debate'?" Zeng Shen's expression changed.

"That's right!"

Ziyou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Other scholars have taken the lead, but our Confucianism was established relatively late, so if we want to be recognized by the world, we must participate in a 'controversy of scholars' to show the prestige of our Confucianism!"

"At that time, hundreds of schools of thought will contend, and ten thousand schools of thought will contend. You will not only be able to see military leaders, but also Mohists, Legalists, farmers, doctors, etc."

The light in Zeng Shen's eyes became more and more intense, and he patted his thigh: "Okay!"

"Very good!"

"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Kong Xuan, which company is hosting this 'Controversy of Scholars'?"

Zeng Shen looked back at Yan Hui.

Yan Hui smiled slightly, and he counted on his fingers, with a hint of understanding in his eyes: "This 'Controversy of the Scholars' is hosted by the Taoists."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I believe Mr. Boyang will send a note to our Confucian family soon."

"Really!"

Zeng Shen became even more excited after hearing this. Thinking that he could meet various disciples, he could hardly restrain his excitement.

"Shenglin, don't be too happy too early." Yan Hui looked at Zeng Shen, with a faint smile on his lips: "If I guess correctly, Lord Wu An will also go there by then!"

"What?"

When Zeng Shen heard the words "Wu Anjun", the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He subconsciously shrank his neck and asked, "Uncle Tiger will also go?"

Ziyou felt happy when he saw his appearance.

"The scholars are debating such an important matter. As the most reliable military leader in this era, can Mr. Wu An not go?"

Zeng Shen's expression became even more wilted.

Yan Hui smiled and patted Zeng Shen on the shoulder: "Shenglin, Lord Wu An actually has nothing to be afraid of!"

"You just accepted Senior Styx as your teacher. What's the big deal?"

"Apart from the resounding name of 'God of Death', Senior Styx is also a God of Killing. There is no shame in worshiping such an extremely powerful teacher!"

Ziyou also stretched out his arm and hugged Zeng Shen: "That's right! We are the top second generation in the world, we can't just follow the arrangements of the older generation, right?"

"Young people must have their own ideas!"

"Although your idea is a bit extreme, it is still your own choice and you have nothing to regret!"

After hearing this, Zeng Shen felt that it made sense and straightened his back: "That's what the two senior brothers said."

"Masters on both sides have bowed to me. Uncle Tiger can't really kill me with a knife!"

"Besides, I am now a Confucian and a Taoist, and I am a disciple of the Master."

Zeng Shen looked at Master in the distance and decided in his heart: "Even if Uncle Tiger really wants to attack me, my master can't stop me, Master can also stop me!"

Yan Hui and Zi You looked at each other, then laughed.

"Shenglin, you are so transparent!"

Cold comes and summer comes, spring passes and autumn comes.

Under the apricot trees in Sheji Mountain.

On this day, Mingyu preached to his disciples as usual.

"Master!"
