Little Sage Village.
Inside Zhang Liang's bedroom.
Yan Lu looked at Zhang Liang, whose face suddenly became serious, and the gentle smile on his face slowly disappeared.
Because he knew that his junior brother was probably going to say something important.
"What's wrong?" Yan Lu asked Zhang Liangdao calmly.
Grab, grab, grab. "There is one thing that I think we should let Senior Brother Yan Lu know." Zhang Liang said seriously to Yan Lu, his eyebrows furrowed, and his usual carefree and unruly attitude was replaced by a touch of dignity.
"Junior brother, please speak, senior brother, you are all ears." Yan Lu said to Zhang Liang equally seriously.
"Senior brother, do you know that not long ago, in Jicheng, the capital of King Yan, someone planned an assassination against Prince Yan Dan of King Yan." Zhang Liang said seriously to Yan Lu.
"Assassinate the crown prince of Yan State even before King Yan?
It is said that Prince Dan of Yan was killed by King Xi of Yan, and his head was presented to King Qin for peace. Could it be related to this matter? "Yan Lu looked calm at first, and then after a moment's thought, he figured out the joints. His face became solemn, and he felt extremely frightened by thinking about it.
“It is still difficult to find out clearly, and it is impossible to investigate further.
But what we can know is that in this persecution against Prince Yan Dan, the person who planned this plan must have played an important role. "Zhang Liang opened his mouth and said to Yan Lu in front of him.
"Yan Dan has a close relationship with the Mo family, and he is considered an outstanding figure of his generation. It's a pity, it's a pity that his heart is as high as the sky, but he is unlucky." Yan Lu lamented for him regretfully.
Although the relationship between the Confucian and Mohist families was extremely bad and could almost be said to be at odds with each other, facing the passing of such a Mohist hero, Yan Lu, as a gentleman, could not help but lament in his heart.
"Senior brother, do you know who arranged this deadly situation against Yan Dan?" Zhang Liang asked Yan Lu.
“The dragnet is all-encompassing.
They are the sharpest weapons in Qin's hands and the most powerful assassin group among all countries. "Yan Lu opened his mouth and replied.
Although these things were not spread too sinisterly, it was impossible to hide them from other characters in Yan Lu's episode.
“The murder weapon always hurts yourself before it hurts anyone.
What the senior brother said is right.
Does that senior brother know that during this assassination, Luo Wang, a "Tianzihao" killer who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared? Zhang Liang asked Yan finally.
"Tianzihao!" Yan Lu felt his heart tighten.
A familiar silhouette and a long-lost memory came to mind again.
"One of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, the Frightened Salamander.
We have just learned of his existence, but it is difficult to know how many years he has been killing.
Maybe we know this information now just because this time he didn't have time to kill all the witnesses like before. "Zhang Liang said seriously to Yan Lu.
嘘戅戅. Yan Lu's eyes grew slightly and his pupils shrank.
…
Inside Wan Zhang's study.
Wan Zhang and Xunzi sat across from each other, tasting the cold food together, and both of them chewed slowly.
After a long time, the meal was finally finished.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was silent from beginning to end.
However, in the end, it was Xunzi who couldn't help but speak first.
"Senior brother, what's going on?" Xunzi asked Wan Zhang.
"There are some important things that I need to discuss with my junior brother, and there are also some important things that I need to explain to my junior brother." Wan Zhang was dressed in Confucian clothes and wore a Confucian crown. Although he was old, he was still elegant.
"What is this important matter? Senior brother, why do you want to be so serious?" Xunzi also felt that something was wrong at this time.
"It's about Wei Yan and Xiaoshengxian Village." Wan Zhang said calmly to Xunzi.
"Well, what are your plans, senior brother?" Xunzi asked Wan Zhang.
"Junior brother, do you know Wei Yan's true identity?" Wan Zhang did not answer directly, but asked Xunzi.
"Senior brother, what do you mean?" Xunzi's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.
"Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, was assassinated fifteen years ago. Before that, the owner of the 'Yan Wuji' jade pendant was Wei Wuji." Wan Zhangruo pointed out.
"Junior brother understands, what does senior brother want to do next?" Xunzi's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure and asked Wan Zhang.
He really wanted to know how Wan Zhang planned to teach this young man.
He had a hunch that the answer Wan Zhang gave him would be a great surprise.
This is indeed the case.
"I plan to teach "junior brother" Wei Yan together with my junior brother." Wan Zhang said calmly.
"Senior brother, he is your disciple, and I will teach you what is wrong, okay?
Wait, Wei Yan...junior brother? "Xunzi asked Wan Zhang with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes." Wan Zhang confirmed to Xunzi with a calm expression.
"You, you want to accept a disciple as a master?" Xunzi looked at Wan Zhang in disbelief, as if he knew Wan Zhang again from this moment on.
"Wei Yan's martial arts talent is extremely high, and he is considered a rare genius in our eyes.
I, rather than have similar skills, it was only after I was sixty years old. Even my teacher, who led a group of disciples to travel around the world, was nothing more than that.
What is even more rare is that he is talented and intelligent, and those four sentences are enough to be ranked alongside the classics of saints.
It is not an exaggeration to accept a disciple on behalf of a teacher. "Wan Zhang said slowly, and Xunzi who was listening was dumbfounded.
But when I thought about it, it was indeed true.
"That's true. What's even more rare is that he understands etiquette and has a gentle personality. He is indeed a rare good seedling. The sage Mencius knows this, and he will probably feel relieved." Xunzi said facing Wan Zhang, who was already calm at this moment. Come down.
After thinking about it for a while, he found that there was nothing wrong with what Wan Zhang said.
"Teacher enjoys being a teacher and is tireless in teaching others. When he was still here, when he saw such a young genius, he would definitely be tempted.
It's a pity that although I have a deep foundation, my talent is still inferior. Among the brothers, no one can be as powerful as Guigu Zongheng, the Taoist Heaven and Human Sect, and the guardians of the Yin and Yang family. They are unstoppable and carry forward the world. My own theory.
It is my fault that the words of the saints are covered in dust, so that no one in the world practices the royal way, and the people are oppressed by tyranny and miserable, and are in dire straits.
Now, God allowed me to meet Wei Yan. This is really a fate arranged by fate. "Wan Zhang said to Xunzi with both reminiscence and emotion.
Of course, the so-called inferior talent is just a modest statement.
Even though Gui Guzi is a scholar of heaven, Donghuang Taiyi is aloof and unfathomable, Bei Mingzi is just like Guang, and Bai Qi is an arrogant military strategist, no one among the four dares to look down on this old master who has been teaching and educating people all his life.
Not to mention, there is another benefit to doing this.
That is, we can raise Wei Yan's seniority so that he will not suffer the disadvantages of his lower seniority in the arena, and at the same time solve the problem of who will be the next head of Little Sage Village.
It has to be said that those who are too old to die are thief, and this old boy Wan Zhang is indeed a thief to death.
