After a while, in the side hall of the small courtyard of the thatched cottage, everyone gathered together and sat around a small stove.
Late at night in the cold winter, although the thatched hut keeps out the cold, it also generates a rolling chill. There is always internal power to protect the body, but it is not as warm as the flames to warm the whole body.
Coupled with the not-so-delicate bowls of hot tea, and a few sips, the warmth flows through the body and limbs, making it extremely comfortable.
Xiaoyaozi held a bowl of tea in his hand, looked at the Confucian disciples around him, and saluted again.
"Mr. Xiaoyao, there is no need to say this."
"But... I didn't expect Luo Wang to be so powerful in the land of Surabaya!"
"It seems... I need to be more cautious in what I do next."
The Xiaoyaozi of Renzong!
Duke Nan of Chu of the Yin and Yang family!
There are also the Xiang clan and others. This young man is Xiang Shaoyu, the young leader of the Xiang clan!
It is indeed fate to meet everyone in this remote place today.
The reason for their appearance here was just learned from Nangong. The Xiang family suffered heavy losses. Without Nangong and his help, it would have been very difficult.
Zhang Liang cupped his hand as a gesture of courtesy.
"Now that the land of Surabaya is in chaos, why do Confucians still go there?"
It is also a courtesy for young people.
Although I am not very familiar with Confucianism, I did receive teachings from Confucian scholars for a period of time when I was young.
It's just that the teachings of those Confucian scholars were too obscure and I didn't like it, so I kicked them all away, but... I couldn't bear to look back.
At the beginning, I underestimated the Confucian scholars and the Confucians.
Today, among hundreds of schools of thought, only Confucianism has escaped disasters one after another. This is a strength in itself.
"Such a thing is not a secret."
"It is precisely because the land of Surabaya is in chaos that the head brother made such a decision and ordered us to go to Surabaya County to restrain the Confucian people."
Zhang Liang smiled, glanced at the brothers on his left and right, and told him the purpose of his trip.
In recent years, the situation in the Xia Dynasty has been unpredictable, and Confucianism has been unable to protect itself. What's more, there are now inspectors from the Qin State in the Xiaoshengxian Village.
That is an extremely strong surveillance on Confucianism.
According to the information obtained by Confucianism, the Qin State will definitely attack the farmers in Surabaya, and most of the power of the entire farmers will be concentrated in Surabaya.
The rest are scattered in Jiujiang County, Donghai County, south of Huai River and other places.
In order to ensure the stability of Confucianism itself, he and Senior Brother Yan Lu led a group of senior brothers to various places to restrain each Confucian disciple.
At least, during the period when the Qin State attacked and destroyed the peasants, Confucianism could not make any more mistakes.
No mistakes are allowed.
"That's right!"
Chu Nan Gong, whose beard and hair were as white as snow, nodded gently.
"All the Eight Swordsmen of the King of Yue have arrived at the land of Surabaya. Things happen to farmers in a matter of seconds."
"Mr. Zhang Liang, are Confucians really prepared to stay out of this matter?"
Watching a Confucian disciple adding firewood to the small stove, Xiaoyaozi held the pottery bowl in both hands and changed the topic.
"This matter...Zifang doesn't make the decision!"
"There are hundreds of schools of thought, each with its own way, and Confucianism is now..."
Zhang Liang shook his head.
It's hard to say those things yourself.
Moreover, sometimes I can't figure out the thoughts of the head brother, the inner saint and the outer king, the way of the saint king.
It seems that the head brother has already made plans for the future of Confucianism.
And I... can't stay in Confucianism forever.
You also have your own way.
Many years ago, that elder brother gave up everything and returned to his country, hoping to revitalize Korea, restore its dominance, and even make it stronger.
However, everything was in vain.
And I won't forget it.
I have never forgotten it!
"farmhouse!"
"I wonder what happens next?"
"Lie Shantang Tian Meng died, and the farm family is going to be in chaos."
The young man sighed softly.
Confucians are like this, they have to avoid themselves to protect themselves.
Farmers... are really in danger.
"Farmers..., life and death are their own choices."
Zhang Liang smiled slightly.
There are many people like the farmers and strategists, and they will have more plans for the future of the farmers.
Therefore, no one else needs to worry about it.
"Is there a way for the farm family to survive?"
The young man seemed to understand something.
Immediately surprised.
Under the suppression of such a powerful force from the Qin State, is there any way for farmers to survive?
But why can't I figure it out?
"And... continue to watch."
Zhang Liang smiled mysteriously and didn't say much.
"this……."
The young man feels that his dislike of Confucianism has emerged again when he was young.
Forget it if you speak politely.
Some key things are always said so that people can guess for themselves, so just say them directly.
Not straightforward at all.
"How is Master Xun doing lately?"
Duke Nan of Chu gently stroked his long beard. Nowadays in Zhuxia, his old friends are becoming fewer and fewer, and Xun Kuang is undoubtedly one of them.
"Uncle Xun has been practicing quietly in Xiaoshengxian Village. According to his words, if you eat well, sleep well, you will practice well!"
Zhang Liang smiled.
"He was really relieved."
"When you have time the next day, you should go to Little Sage Village to discuss Taoism with old friends."
"Let's play chess by the way. I wonder if my old friend's chess skills have improved over the years!"
Chu Nan Gong also narrowed his old eyes and smiled softly.
"If so, Uncle Xun will be delighted."
Zhang Liang nodded.
"Hahaha, that's how it should be."
Duke Nan of Chu laughed.
This old friend's chess skills are just average, which is theoretically impossible, but... when it comes to my old friend, it's unbelievable.

"Father!"
"The water seems to be warmer than on the boat."
"Little dolphin, this princess orders you to charge forward!"
Sea area!
The big ship was still moving southward along the coast leisurely, but many people on board were deep in the sea, crisscrossing the sea.
The whole body was surrounded by a purple mysterious light, and a little thing with delicate and beautiful features was riding on a big fish that was about ten feet long.
Holding the fish's fins with both hands, he kept shouting and patting the big fish under him.
Immediately, the big fish ran forward like lightning.
"Xi'er, I'm here too!"
Not far away, Xiao Yangzi was riding astride a large fish with a similar shape. The big fish had a spindle-shaped trunk, smooth and hairless skin, and a strong and flexible body.
In particular, the big fish's head is even more spiritual, and its eyes, which are like those of an ordinary child, are even more endearing.
He patted the dolphin with one hand and quickly ran away.
"Xiaoyi!"
"How does it feel in the water?"
Zhou Qingzheng stepped into the water casually, his eyes flashing purple. In the dim water, he was not blocked by any sight. The same thing happened when his magical powers were controlled by the two little guys.
dolphin!
It's very interesting to encounter such creatures in the sea. With the spiritual sense, you can directly overwhelm them and then use them.
Being in the sea is still very good.
With Yun Shu, Xue'er and the others taking care of the two little ones, there won't be any big problems.
On the other hand, there was a girl in purple next to her. In terms of age, Xiao Yi was much older than Xiao Meng, but... after years of practice, Xiao Yi's voice and appearance had not changed significantly.
Very strange!
What's even more strange is that Xiaoyi, as the young master of the Yin Yang family, seems to be really afraid of water.
Even though he was protected by his own vacuum, he was still very reserved and did not dare to make too many movements. He just looked at everything in the sea.
