Chapter 280 Confrontation in front of the door
In front of the main entrance of Situ's mansion, the atmosphere here seemed particularly solemn due to a confrontation.
The two parties involved in the confrontation were the Wei soldiers who were guarding the Situ Mansion on one side, and the disciples who came here on the other side.
Because of the family fortune accumulated by their fathers through bloody battles and hardships, these children are often praised by the people around them.
This kind of flattery makes them misunderstand themselves and always feel that they are superior to others.
This is why they dared to come to Situ's residence today to seek an explanation from Gongsun Yang, an important minister of the Wei State.
However, what these noble disciples did not expect was that before they could even enter the gate of Situ's mansion, they were directly stopped by the soldiers of the Wei army in front of them.
With his right hand, he slowly drew out the long sword from his waist. The sword's blade shone with light under the sunlight. A general of the Wei army looked coldly at the uninvited guests in front of him.
"This is an important place in the Situ Mansion. You must leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will be severely punished according to the law."
The long sword in his hand fell with the sound, and the Wei army general issued a silent military order to the soldiers under his command.
Almost as soon as they saw the long sword falling, the strong archers among the surrounding Wei soldiers immediately came to the front of the team.
Take the arrow, draw the bow...
These soldiers were worthy of being selected from among the elites of the Wei army. There was no sloppiness in their movements, and each strong bow was ready.
The faces of the disciples who were looking at everything in front of them had a look of panic at this moment.
Like the bowstring of the full moon, like the arrows like stars, they could clearly feel that death would come to them in the next moment.
Panic spread among the crowd, the original high momentum was gone, and some people even backed down.
Feeling the huge threat ahead, sporadic footsteps sounded in his ears again. The disciple who was the leader this time immediately realized that the situation seemed to be getting out of his control.
He knew that if he didn't take any action, today's good show in front of the Situ Mansion might turn into a joke in an instant.
Thinking back to what the man said to him yesterday, this disciple's eyes suddenly widened.
Summoning all his courage, he looked at the Wei soldiers in front of him who looked like wolves and tigers, threatening to bite anyone at any moment. This noble disciple immediately raised his right hand.
"We have something unclear, so I would like to ask Master Situ to help us clear up my confusion."
This voice could be said to have sounded very timely. It not only gave the young man a bit of courage, but also temporarily stopped the steps behind him that were about to leave.
But when he heard these words ringing in his ears, the generals of the Wei army frowned, and subconsciously held the sword in their hands a little tighter.
"Situ is busy with official duties these days, so how can he have time to answer your questions?"
The Hundred General's answer seemed to give the other party another chance, as the young man climbed up directly along the pole.
"The decrees promulgated by Situ recently are destroying the foundation of our country of Wei. As Wei people, how can we sit back and ignore it."
"If Situ doesn't give me a satisfactory answer today, I won't leave here."
When Baijiang heard what this young man said, his brows furrowed even more.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of everyone in front of him, General Bai knew that today's matter might not be settled for a while.
Just as Baijiang was thinking about how to deal with it, a rhythmic footsteps sounded in the mansion behind him.
Almost at the same time, everyone present looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young figure coming in front of them.
"I'll wait and see Situ."
The next moment, under the leadership of this Wei army general, the surrounding Wei soldiers immediately gave a military salute to the visitor.
Is this person Situ Gongsun Yang?
Looking at the movements of the Wei soldiers in front, and looking at Gongsun Yang, who was dressed in white coarse clothes but could be seen as extraordinary at a glance, the leader of the disciples couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He was surprised by Gongsun Yang's youth, and he was even more surprised by the unspeakable magnanimity in him.
However, this man was not surprised for long. Recalling the purpose of his coming, a look of determination appeared on this man's face.
With light steps under his feet, the man seemed to be bowing forward and said, "I'm Li Si, a scholar from Anyi, who has met Situ."
After saluting, he gradually straightened his body and looked at Gongsun Yang who had arrived not far ahead. Li Si's voice immediately became several degrees louder.
"It is indeed rude of me to come here without telling you today. It's just that I have something unclear with my companions. I hope Situ can help us clear up my confusion."
While Li Si was speaking, Gongsun Yang's eyes kept shifting back and forth on his face and the faces of the people behind him.
When he finished speaking his mind, Gongsun Yang's mouth curved slightly, "Since you are here to ask for advice, you might as well speak up if you have anything to say."
Gongsun Yang's words and Gongsun Yang's kindness seemed to give Li Si confidence again, and the fear hidden deep in his eyes gradually faded away.
"Situ, I believe that the Wei army is crucial to the foundation of our Wei state, and the Wei soldiers among the Wei army are even more crucial."
"Since the founding of the state by Marquis Wen for more than 40 years, our country, Wei, has always treated its scholars with courtesy and treated its officers favorably. Now, with just one decree, Situ has deprived the soldiers of Wei of the favor they received through their bloody battles."
The words in his mouth were so moving, and the look in his eyes was so firm, Li Si looked straight at Gongsun Yang in front of him.
"Isn't Situ afraid that he has chilled the hearts of Wei soldiers, chilled the hearts of Wei soldiers, and even chilled the hearts of my Wei people?"
"color!"
…
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from around him.
Obviously, his words did speak to the hearts of some people, and were indeed what some people wanted to hear.
Facing the sound of cheers from around him, Gongsun Yang did not respond immediately, but just waited there.
When the cheers gradually died down and everything returned to calm, Gongsun Yang silently took a step forward.
His eyes once again swept across the group of people in front of him, and Gongsun Yang just said something softly.
"Those of you who have relatives serving among the soldiers of Wei, please come out."
When Gongsun Yang's voice fell, a bit of chaos immediately arose among the crowd, and everyone was curious about what he was going to do.
However, Gongsun Yang was still a Situ of Wei after all. Shortly after his request was made, more than ten people still came forward.
"very good."
After looking at these people with a smile and satisfaction, Gongsun Yang said softly again.
"Those of you who are planning to serve among the soldiers of Wei in the future, please take one more step forward."
