one person is right

Chapter 813 The name is just beginning to cry

"About that gentleman, what else do you know? It's unlikely that you and I will visit and don't know anything, right? That would be too rude."

Sitting in the carriage, Li Si said to Ding Wu helplessly.

"What can we find out in such a short period of time?" Ding Wu shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "It's just now that I found out with great difficulty, after all, he only came to Chenggao a few days ago. .”

Sighing, Li Si said again: "Forget it, let's talk about everything you know first, knowing is better than not knowing."

Right now, he and Dingwu are going to visit the gentleman who "spoke wild words" a few days ago.Recalling that just now at Dingwu's home, when I heard the latest news from the front, saying that the Allied Forces of the Five Nations had suddenly retreated, all the scholars in the courtyard were surprised, even Li Si was full of surprise.

Because the news came so suddenly, it not only disturbed the interest of everyone talking, but also made them all confused and confused, and it was hard to tell the truth from the fake.But everyone is located in Sanchuan County at the junction of Qin State and Shandong Kingdoms, and they are all gentry, and they are related to all aspects. It only takes one afternoon and one night to find out the truth of the matter. .

The next day, more news came from the front line. After confirming the previous rumors, the scholars in Chenggao City couldn't sit still.Some people packed their bags in a hurry, and left the city with their family and servants that day, especially those Korean officials who had just arrived, they left in a hurry without even warming up their chairs, coming and going in a hurry .

However, there are also some members of the big clan, who were overjoyed after hearing the news, and waited for the return of the Qin army to serve again.This naturally included Ding Wu's family. Similarly, Li Si, who had originally planned to join Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, would not leave.

Correspondingly, when everyone was not optimistic about the situation in Qin State and felt that the Allied Forces of the Five Nations could kill a lot, the "crazy man" who raised objections and accurately predicted the ending naturally attracted the attention of interested people.

"It is true that there is not much news about that man, and I know very little. I only know that he is the Chen family, and he entered the city a few days ago. Judging by his appearance and speech, it is obvious that he has a family background, and he spends a lot of money. Three A few days ago, he spent a lot of money and bought a manor in the north of the city." Dingwu searched his stomach and told him all the news he knew.

"Si's surname is Chen? That may be a descendant of Chen. People with the Chen surname were originally scattered in the Central Plains and Chu. That's right, after the Tian family took over Qi, many moved to Qi. The person you mentioned Mr. Chen appeared in Chenggao, why did he come here? Could it be that he also wants to enter the customs?" Li Si thought after listening to this, "He can accurately predict the outcome of the five-nation coalition, he must be a well-educated man with knowledge , this time you are born, you must have something to ask for!"

"That's beyond what I can know, but you said that he also wants to join the Qin Dynasty, I don't think so," Dingwu shook his head, "The mansion he bought was originally a separate courtyard of the Korean clan. It’s as big as a village, but that Mr. Chen came here alone and bought such a large area, so it’s not like he’s going to take the manor and enter the customs to surrender to Qin, right?”

"Oh? You mean the manor?" Li Si's heart skipped a beat, recalling inexplicably his experience when he was studying under his teacher. Isn't the place where his master Xunzi taught like a village?It's just that the people living in the village are all from the same sect.

Could it be...

crunch...

Just as he was thinking, the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Here we are." Ding Wu lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, then called Li Si to come down, followed by looking at the gate of the courtyard not far away, frowning, "It's strange, the courtyard of this house looks very grand, But in the past, it was clearly covered with vines, and there were many weeds around, and it was cleaned up in a few days? How many servants did that Mr. Chen hire?"

Muttering, he and Li Si walked forward hand in hand, and when they arrived at the door, they saw that there were no guards and servants, but there were small voices coming from the door. The two looked at each other, hesitating whether to go in, but heard a voice call.

"Mr. Dingwu, Mr. Li, you are here too." After the voice fell, a thin but tall man came out with strides.

Li Si immediately recognized that this person was also in Dingwu's house yesterday, his name was Xia Jing.

"You are also here to visit Mr. Chen, right? Don't send greetings. Mr. first came to Sanchuan, and there are not many servants under him. Come along with me. Mr. Chen has already been surrounded by Katsuki and others. To give lectures."

"Shengji and the others are here too?" Ding Wu was quite surprised, "I thought he would go to Zhao country with his family."

"We must keep some people in Qin." Xia Jing chuckled.

Li Si's mind was on another matter, and he cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Xia, that Mr. Chen wants to give lectures? Do you know which school you are talking about?"

Ding Wu also paid attention to this question.

In today's world, great powers are competing for supremacy, and the original countries are no longer standing side by side. The momentum of contention among a hundred schools of thought has also come to an end, but the inheritance of each family remains the same.Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism, as the main schools, also have their own active successors.

Li Si studied under Xunzi, learned Confucianism and had the same punishment name, and he naturally valued the inheritance of the school.Even Ding Wu, a disciple who registered and falsely listened to this question, couldn't help but pay attention.

"It's not clear at the moment. Mr. Chen didn't explain it, but judging by his age, he should also have a teacher." Xia Jing said, her eyes glanced at the two of them, "You are well-informed and have traveled thousands of miles to study. Hurry up and listen. You may not be able to hear the clue."

The three of them talked while walking, and soon they came to a courtyard, and they happened to see a group of people gathered together, all dressed as scholars, but there was one person sitting in the middle, it wasn't Chen Cuo, who was it?
"That's Mr. Chen?" Li Si was taken aback when he saw him, because he looked up to thirty at the most, but he had an extraordinary bearing. Although he was dressed in simple clothes and all in black, he stood out from the crowd just by sitting there. It's hard not to be noticed.

"It's him, go over and listen to what they're talking about." Ding Wu nodded, walked over with Li Si, and listened attentively.

"...Gentlemen, I didn't use any magic method to calculate, but after getting a lot of news, I deduced the situation from the perspective of rise and fall, and then I got the result."

Chen Cuo was obviously answering why he could accurately predict the advance and retreat of the five armies. He listened to the people's repeated questions, but he was calm and patient.

"Everything has a context. There are rumors about the five armies. Although it is true and false, Chenggao is located in Sanchuan. Both Qin and the coalition forces have passed by, leaving many traces, so we can get a lot of clues. Then In addition, the development of this matter is very urgent, and the generals leading the army are not unknown people, in short, it is obvious."

As he spoke, he looked not far away calmly.

"The law of rise and fall?"

At the end of Chen Cuo's line of sight, the middle-aged scribe stood on the top of the hill, watching from a distance, his face full of confusion.

On the side, the young man asked: "Master, you have seen a lot, do you know this name?"

"I've never heard of it." The middle-aged scribe shook his head, "Let's just listen to him and see if he is a person who deceives the world with a fake name, and then decide whether to visit as a teacher."

"Sir, is this law of rise and fall really so powerful?"

"It can't be said to be great," Chen Cuo smiled slightly and looked away, "but as long as you master the trick, everything in this world can be explained."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

After all, this tone is really too big.

Even Li Si couldn't help frowning, and even his pedantic teacher had never made such a judgment. The man in front of him was not very old, but his tone was really not young. After the situation is broken, right now you are making use of the topic to make a name for yourself?

At this point in his mind, he looked at the gap between Chen Cuo's speech and said: "The theory of rise and fall in the mouth of the master is so exquisite, why is it not known in the world? Could it be covered by various theories?"

Chen Cuo heard the words and looked over, and said with a smile: "It's normal not to pass it on to the world, because I have only compiled this method in recent years, and it has never been passed on in the past."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was even more surprised!
