Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 533 Have you considered developing in first-tier cities?

After Gu Xun left, Fu Nian returned to the side hall. Yan Lu was still sitting in the room, seeming to be thinking about something.

He heard the noise, looked up and saw Fu Nian coming in, quickly stood up and said, "Brother, head master."

Fu Nian waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down, then sat opposite him and asked:

"Junior Brother Yan Lu, how are you? Are you okay?"

"...It's nothing..." Yan Lu was silent for a moment and replied in a low voice.

Fu Nian did not continue to ask, but just looked at his mysterious junior brother quietly.

What is the causal entanglement between his junior brother and Gu Xun, the new upstart master of the Qin Kingdom... It would be false to say that Fu Nian is not curious, but out of respect for Yan Lu, he will not take the initiative to ask. If Yan Lu wants to say something, he will listen, but if he doesn't want to, just let it go.

After Yan Lu was silent for a moment, he said, "Senior Brother Head...I...want to go to Xianyang."

Fu Nian's narrow eyebrows were raised high, and he asked suspiciously, "Going to Xianyang...are you alone?"

"Um……"

"No, you are still young. Songhai is thousands of miles away from Xianyang. How can you go there alone!" Fu Nian immediately refused and sternly refused.

The power of Xiaoshengxianzhuang is all concentrated in the Songhai area. It rarely pays attention to the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms. Naturally, it has little contact with the kings, and Xianyang, the capital of Qin, has almost no contact. Yan Lu wants to go to the capital with others. No, as for him walking alone, Fu Nian is of course even less likely to agree.

Of course, the power of Confucianism is actually not limited to Songhai. Among the hundreds of scholars, Taoism is the most divided on the surface. First it separated into the Yin and Yang school, and later there was a struggle between heaven and man. But in fact, the most internal The fight is still with Confucianism.

After the death of Confucius, Confucianism was divided into eight parts, each holding its own views and fighting endlessly. Later, Mencius reintegrated Confucius' thoughts and learning and barely unified the divided Confucianism. However, after his death, Confucianism once again showed a tendency to split, which has been passed down to this day. , Xiaoshengxianzhuang is the holy land of Confucianism and represents the strongest force of Confucianism. However, there are still many other factions in Confucianism, but it is not as serious as the internal fighting after Confucius passed away and the Confucian eight points.

For example, Chun Yuyue, the Confucian doctor who once taught Fusu in Xianyang, was not from Xiaoshengxian Village, but he was from Qi State and his relationship with Xiaoshengxian Village was not particularly bad.

But if it's not bad, it doesn't mean that Fu Nian can just arrange Yan Lu to take care of him. Even if Chunyu is more willing, Fu Nian is still worried.

Upon hearing the expected rejection, Yan Lu did not give up and tried to persuade:

"But Senior Brother, I have a reason to go."

"Junior brother! I know that since you made this request, you naturally have your reasons, but... the reality is that you can't go."

"..."

"..."

The two junior brothers looked at each other with big eyes. After being silent for a long time, Fu Nian took a long breath and broke the silence:

"Junior brother, don't worry, I will find a way."

"...I'm sorry, senior brother..." Yan Lu apologized a little guiltily after hearing this.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I am the head of the Little Saint's Village, and you are the disciple of the Little Saint's Village. This is my responsibility." Fu Nian replied with a calm face. Xiaoshengxian Manor is a sacred place for Confucianism, and Fu Nian feels that as the head of the village, he can't even let his junior brother go to Xianyang.

But...it takes a suitable opportunity.

Yan Lu's insistence on going to Xianyang must have something to do with Gu Xun. He is the master of the Qin State, and Xianyang is his home field. He must not act rashly.

Fu Nian needs to wait for the right opportunity and then find the right person to accompany Yan Lu to Xianyang. Well... the only suitable people are actually the same disciples of Xiaoshengxian Manor.

Now that both the enemy and ourselves are somewhat unclear, the only people Fu Nian can trust are himself and his brothers.

………………

That evening, Gu Xun and Yan Lingji wandered to an inn for dinner. The cook Ding didn't dare to refuse because he knew Gu Xun's identity. Fortunately, dinner at Little Shengxian Manor was simple and less troublesome.

This time, he did not cook Sichuan cuisine for Gu Xun, but instead cooked some dishes with more Songhai characteristics. To be specific, they were... all kinds of seafood, even fish fillets.

It's a pity that although marine fish is much better than freshwater fish in terms of bacteria, is relatively clean and hygienic, and the chef handled it well, neither Gu Xun had any intention of eating raw food. In the end, the sashimi was turned into a sashimi by Gu Xun with a wave of his hand. I got cooked fish fillets and it was okay to eat.

Although the cook Ding was more afraid of Gu Xun, but due to the professionalism of an intelligence officer, he felt that it was a bit of a loss not to ask what to order when everyone came to the door... So he talked to Gu Xun at the counter like noon, but It was just that he had no intention of chatting at noon, but this time he did it on purpose.

Gu Xun doesn't pay much attention to eating or sleeping. If anyone wants to chat, just chat.

"Well..." Cook Dinghan smiled, trying his best to appear harmless, "Two guests, when I was delivering food to Little Saint Xian Manor at noon, I saw Master Fu Nian coming out to greet you two, and he also called you... …National Division?"

"Yes, Gu is holding the position of Imperial Master of the Qin State." Gu Xun responded casually while picking up a piece of cooked fish fillet with his chopsticks to dip it in the sauce.

"Oh! I didn't expect that the guest turned out to be the Master of the State of Qin. This villain is really discerning... What is that?" Cook Ding pretended to be a common citizen who had never seen the world, and exclaimed. Unfortunately, his cultural level It seems almost impossible to say the last word.

"You have eyes but no eyesight." After hearing this, Yan Lingji, who was half-skilled, couldn't help but give guidance to the illiterate chef.

"Yes, yes... you have no eyesight, you really have no eyesight, hehe." Cook Ding scratched his head, looking ashamed of his ignorance, "I didn't expect that someone of your status would come to my Fatty Ding's inn. It really makes the shop...that thing shine, and I am so lucky for my whole life!"

"Pengpi shines!" The half-hearted person pointed out again.

"Ah...yes, Pengpi is shining..."

Gu Xun interrupted with a smile at this time, "Master Cook Ding, you don't have to be humble. With your cooking skills, you are more than enough to cook for the kings of various countries even if you enter the palace. Entertaining Gu is not a blessing, but it is me." , it’s not easy to see your skills.”

"Hehe!" Cook Ding's rough big hand touched the back of his round head again, scratched it, and said modestly, a little embarrassed, "Your Excellency, you are too polite. I, Fatty Ding, am just a cook."

"You're not polite." Gu Xun's smile became even brighter, "I wonder if Master Cook Ding is interested in opening a shop in Xianyang. Although it will lose the business of Xiaoshengxian Village, Gu Xun guarantees in the name of the national master that you will definitely You’ll make more money.”

If I don't earn enough, I can be specially allowed to be my personal chef, and my monthly salary will be enough...
