"It's good that they're both fine." Sledgehammer touched his smooth head and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked in surprise, "They're fine... Is there anything else you can say slowly?"
"I told you not to worry!" Thief Zhi rolled his eyes at him and responded angrily.
Master Ban came up and scolded Big Hammer, "Big Hammer, don't keep disturbing him."
"Hmph!" Big Hammer was scolded, and he grunted unhappily and moved away.
Cook Ding followed and asked speculatively, "Did you take a peek at the meeting between Li Si and Confucianism?"
"How can I take a peek... That's to make sure Tianming won't be discovered." Thief Zhi first pretended to refute Cook Ding's inappropriate words, which made the other party roll his eyes, and then said, "In short, the content of this meeting is very important. Wonderful."
"That Li Xiangguo really didn't hold anything back...he just came to pick a spot at Little Sage's Manor."
Thief Zhi probably thought about what he had seen before, and became more and more excited. He also spoke a little arrogantly, and wanted to use some bad words, but he still held back midway and changed his words in time.
Hearing that there was fun to be had, and that some important information might be unearthed, everyone gathered around, including the big hammer that was still humming just now.
Whoever you have trouble with, don’t have trouble with gossip.
Seeing that the audience was all seated, Robber Zhi no longer held back his reservation. He took another sip of tea, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
"At first, Li Si and the head of Fu Nian talked some nonsense, but there seemed to be some signs of something different. Then Li Si proposed to visit a person named... named Xun Qing."
"This should be a person's name...do you know him?"
"Xunqing!"
Robber Zhi was not knowledgeable, but there were many knowledgeable people in the audience. After hearing the name, they invariably repeated it with the same emphasis.
"It seems to be very famous!" Thieves Zhi touched his chin and laughed.
The few people who knew each other looked at each other, and finally Gai Nie, the most knowledgeable person, was responsible for explaining:
"Xun Qing... we don't often say this name. Generally, when people mention him, they use another honorific title - Xunzi."
"Xun...zi!" Big Iron Hammer was slightly speechless.
Illiterate people like him also know that only a handful of the most knowledgeable people among the hundreds of scholars are qualified to be given the honorific title of 'Zi', such as their Mohist ancestor Mozi.
I didn't expect that this name represented such an expert.
After all, Robber Zhi still had some knowledge. When he mentioned Xunzi, he immediately knew who he was.
"It turns out it's the great scholar... his name is Xun Qing. Why does it feel different from my impression?"
Gai Nie explained, “Mr.
"But Li Si...he is Mr. Xun's disciple, so it's appropriate to call him that..."
Gai Nie couldn't explain.
It's normal for people who are close to each other to call each other by names, but as a student, is it really okay for you to call each other Xunqing instead of just calling the teacher?
It's too much to put on the Prime Minister's arrogance...
Of course, Gai Nie considered that Li Si would most likely be unkind to Confucian visitors, so such an impolite name seemed... understandable?
Thief Zhi was very surprised when he heard this, "Oh! It turns out that guy Li Si is a student of Xunzi... Isn't he a Legalist?"
"Also, how could he attack his teacher's sect?"
Although Thief Zhi despises rules and etiquette, he still abides by the basic bottom line of respecting teachers and teaching.
Li Si's operation was somewhat beyond his perspective.
After Gai Nie was silent for a moment, he responded in a deep voice, "Xunzi's thoughts are an anomaly in Confucianism. It is not unusual for him to teach a master of Legalism."
"As for Li Si's actions... He is a politician. Everything he does is for his own position of power. As long as there is a need... Teacher, he is also a bargaining chip and a sacrificial item!"
Hearing this, Big Iron Hammer, who had been tortured by power disputes in the Yan Kingdom, couldn't help but spat on the ground and cursed bitterly, "These official bitches!"
"Okay, these are not the main point." Master Ban spoke up and brought the topic back, "Xiao Zhi, continue talking."
"Oh... ok." Taizhi nodded, "Then they went to a bamboo forest behind Zhuangzi, where the senior Xunzi was probably."
"But when I approached it, I always felt that the place was very dangerous. Considering that they were still in the village at dawn, I didn't dare to take risks, so I stayed outside the forest waiting for Li Si and others to come out."
"Do you feel in danger?" Gao Jianli pondered for a moment and then said, "Your intuition has always been accurate. There must be a top expert in the bamboo forest."
"I think that senior Xunzi's strength should meet this condition."
"Ahem!" Master Ban deliberately coughed twice at this time, reminding Gao Jianli, "Xunzi... is a scholar of the literary school, the kind who does not practice martial arts, so his students, such as Li Si, are also pure scholars. "
"Uh..." Gao Jianli, who had made a mistake, was stunned for a moment, and then changed his words with a normal expression, "That is probably some hidden master of Confucianism... maybe the one responsible for protecting Xunzi's safety."
Thief Zhi curled his lips and was noncommittal about the outcome of their discussion, "Maybe..."
In fact, he felt it was not that simple, because at that time he felt particularly dangerous, like a awn on his back, and his eyelids were twitching.
However, he had no intention of saying it at this time. After all, it was just a feeling, and it lasted only a short time and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
If he hadn't considered Tianming Shaoyu at that time, he might have simply ignored this sense of danger.
"Not long after that, a large group of people from Li Si came out. It seemed that they had been rejected and no one was seen... I was still wondering who dared to reject Xiang Guo. It turned out to be his teacher."
Thief Zhi continued to talk, and his excited expression reappeared, "Pay attention, the next step is a lively place."
"After leaving the bamboo forest, the fat woman Li Si brought..." Even though he was not in front of his eyes, Tao Zhi still looked disgusted when he mentioned Gongsun Linglong.
I don’t blame him. If he was just a little fatter and uglier, Robber Zhi wouldn’t be so venomous. But that girl kept posing all the time to attract attention, for fear that others wouldn’t be disgusted by her... What a shame!
"That one's name... is Gongsun Linglong... I don't know why she has the nerve to call her that name..."
Master Ban and others all showed curious expressions. Only Gai Nie, who had heard about Gongsun Linglong's appearance, was relatively quiet at this time.
Cook Ding had told them before that who was accompanying Li Si to visit Little Sage Village, so they were not surprised to hear Gongsun Linglong's name at this time.
But they were curious about how shivering this woman looked.
As for... Cook Ding came back first and was disgusting, and told them mockingly for a long time, and then Tao Zhi came back looking disgusting, attacking the opponent's appearance without any bottom line?
】
You must know that Thief Zhi is a very moral person. Attacking a woman's appearance is not an outstanding behavior for him... directly calling her an imperial lackey is more in line with his temperament.
