one person is right

Chapter 826

"Sir, Mr. Li is here to invite my king!"

In a few days, Li Si arrived in Chen Zhuang, and said to Chen Cuo sincerely: "My king is very thirsty for talents. He knows that Mr. has a great talent, so he doesn't want to delay for a moment. He knows that I have an old relationship with him. So send me over to invite!"

As he was talking, he realized the omission in his words, and hurriedly made up for it: "The reason why I didn't come over to invite you earlier was that Lu Buwei was in the way. Now that this person committed suicide in fear of crime, His Majesty can send someone to invite you, so you don't have to worry about the future. Thinking about Lu Buwei's invitation many times before, Mister also had scruples in his heart, so he refused one after another. Now, my king, with the honor of Lord Qin, invites Mister, so I can avoid many worries in the future."

On the opposite side, Chen Cuo took a sip of tea and did not answer, but instead said: "Li Si, you have really changed a lot compared to back then."

Li Si was taken aback suddenly.

"When you went to Guanzhong, you passed through Chenggao, and you lingered here for a year. Although you respected me, you still persisted in your heart. You kept the teachings of your teacher Xunzi firmly in mind, so I made a point of view, although you did not directly object to it. , but often argue with reason to explain his mind, why have you ever swallowed your anger like this?"

Having said that, he shook his head and said with emotion: "Is it because King Qin's majesty is too strong, or is the ups and downs of the officialdom smoothing your heart?"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Si's face showed shame, but he quickly suppressed it, and said instead: "Listen to what you mean, sir, I'm afraid this time I came here for nothing..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Cuo.

"No, I will follow you to Xianyang."

Li Si was stunned and puzzled.

Chen Cuo didn't wait for him to ask, he smiled and said: "Since I exist in this era, the King of Qin must meet him, and seeing him now is better than seeing him later."

Whether it is on the extraordinary level or on the historical level, Qin Shihuang is a figure that cannot be avoided.

In terms of supernatural powers, he is the ancestor dragon of the legendary Jedi Tiantong in later generations, and in terms of later history, he even shaped the first emperor of China's unification!
Chen Cuo has risen and fallen, how can he not see Zulong?
It's just that, of course, he wouldn't tell Li Si the reason for this, which made the latter feel suspicious for a while, and made him even more worried about gains and losses.Because in his impression, this Mr. Chen is unpredictable and unpredictable.When he stayed here, he faintly sensed that although this gentleman never refuses anyone, he has almost achieved the ultimate in teaching and non-discrimination, but he is not the kind of detached temperament, who is united with those few people. The masters who want to leave the inheritance of the school are different, obviously they have something in their hearts.

"Could it be that his pursuit is also to unify the world?"

As for the thoughts of that Qin Wangzheng, Li Si asked himself that he had already figured out what kind of ambition it was, and it could be said to be a rare ambition since the beginning of the world!In Li Si's view, it was difficult for the king to get what he wanted, but it did not prevent him from taking the opportunity to display his ambitions.And there are not a few capable people and strangers gathered for this purpose.

"Perhaps this Mr. Chen Chenggao also has the same thoughts. That's why Lu Buwei sent someone to invite him before, and he always refused. After all, with Mr. Chen's knowledge and intelligence, he can not only guess the king's ambition, but also the same. I can see Lu Buwei's end!"

But no matter what thoughts "Mr. Chen" has, as long as he is willing to go to Xianyang with him, then he has fulfilled the king's order.

So, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "In this case, please prepare a little bit, sir. In the next two days, we should set off for Xianyang." At the end, he seemed to be worried that Chen Cuo would delay, and reminded : "It has been many years since Sanchuan County has been merged into the Qin State. The Qin system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With the order of the king and many guards, we can just go on our way and don't need to worry about other things."

In the past few years, Qin State has got rid of the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the Allied Forces of the Five Nations. Not to mention regrouping, it has adopted the strategy of far-reaching and close-attack, splitting and disintegrating the Shandong countries, and the front continued to advance eastward. After encroaching and annexing the land, finally The protruding part of the land in the east has already touched the state of Qi on the eastern peninsula!

Relying on this, Qin's power not only increased greatly, but also gradually increased its control over the previously annexed land.

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't break my promise." Chen Cuo saw Li Si's concerns, "However, I won't go with you, time is tight and there is not much time to waste on the road, so I will Take a step ahead, when you arrive in Xianyang, you may hear the news of my meeting with the King of Qin."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Li Si nodded and said, "I understand."

He didn't ask why the time was tight, and he didn't seem to worry that Chen Cuo was procrastinating for an excuse, so he just left.As a result, when he left Chen Cuo's residence and walked on the small road in Chenzhuang, the attendants who came with him couldn't help reminding: "The Lord came here to fulfill the king's entrustment, and to invite this Chen Cuo Mr. Chen is going to Xianyang, why not take him there personally? If this Mr. Chen just pretended to agree and perfunctory the lord, when we go back, he will definitely blame the king!"

Li Si shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen's prestige has already spread all over the world, and he has many disciples and followers. It took him about ten years to achieve the current situation, so you can imagine how much painstaking effort it took. How can such painstaking efforts be given up easily? With the national strength of the Great Qin, if he fools the king like this, what will happen to him?"

Several disciples also came to understand one after another, and they all said that Li Sizhi was wise.

Li Si shook his head, he was not overjoyed by these people's compliments, but his heart was full of thinking about the future situation of the world.

"If even Mr. Chen has a plan for the king's ambition, will the world in the future be like it is now?"

As he thought about it, he became more and more distracted, and his eyes fell on a huge willow tree unconsciously, and he was immediately shocked: "When did such a tree appear here?"

When the bystanders heard the words and looked at it, they saw that the tree trunk was as thick as ten people hugging each other, and they couldn't help being speechless.

"This kind of giant tree is at least several hundred years old. I didn't expect it to be preserved to this day..."

As the doorman said, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Li Si: "My lord has lived here for a long time, has he never seen this tree?"

Li Si shook his head with a deep expression.

For a moment, the image of that Mr. Chen in everyone's mind became more and more unpredictable.

"You want to choose this time to meet Zulong?"

On the other side, after Li Si left, two more people walked into the house. They were Taoist Qingxu and Hierarch Yuxu, but their auras were weak, and they had obviously been completely suppressed.

"That's right. Ever since Kongtong Mountain experienced a strange phenomenon and the earth's veins trembled a few years ago, it's getting closer and closer to the arrival of the legendary Master of the Yellow Emperor. If I'm not ready, I'll just deal with it with my current half-bottle personality. I am afraid that there will be defeats but no victories, and they will perish by themselves!"

Chen Cuo smiled, and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, I need two guides to enter the customs. You have lived in the customs for a long time, and you are very familiar with the customs there."

Taoist Qingxu murmured: "Your master is Mount Taihua, are you not familiar with it?" After saying that, he shook his head.

"You go, I don't know how much deviation from the original context, after all..."

Having said that, he lowered his voice.

"That ancestral dragon almost made his way!"
