Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 422 Strange people and strangers, a banquet from Zhao Ya.

No matter what era, anyone with a little ability can almost become a guest of the princes and nobles.

Not to mention the pre-Qin period, even in modern times with advanced technology, there are many wealthy businessmen who believe in Fengshui and fate, and they spend a lot of money to ask fortune tellers to approve calculations for them to enhance their wealth.

Qin Zhiyong showed his hand and rescued Shan Rou.

For Qin Zhiyong, it was as simple and casual as eating and drinking.But in the eyes of others, it is simply astonishing.

King Zhao laughed, and said: "I have misjudged my eyes. I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be a strange man at such a young age. Mr. Qin's method of repelling Lian Jin just now really opened my eyes."

Qin Zhiyong stood up, bowed to King Zhao, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, I appreciate the award. Qin is just an ordinary scholar, not a strange person."

Zhao Wang said: "I wonder if Mr. Qin is willing to come to Zhao as an official?"

It is not uncommon for princes and states to poach talents from each other.

Xunzi was from the state of Zhao, but he was an official in the state of Qi and served as a sacrificial wine for the Jixia Academy.Lu Buwei is the prime minister of Qin, but he is not from Qin.

A strong man like Qin Zhiyong, as long as he is a monarch with a little foresight, will win him over.

Julu Hou Zhao Mu looked at Qin Zhiyong, thinking about how to bring Qin Zhiyong under his command.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Qin is currently studying under the teacher's school and has no plans to become an official for the time being."

Qin Zhiyong rejected Zhao Wang, which made Zhao Mu heave a sigh of relief.

As long as Qin Zhiyong is not attracted by King Zhao, Zhao Mu feels that he still has a chance.

Zhao Mu is very powerful in Zhao country, even the king of Zhao should respect him three points.Zhao Mu may not be able to afford the price that Zhao Mu can afford.As long as the price is sufficient, Zhao Mu believes that it is not difficult to take Qin Zhiyong under his command.

How arrogant was Lian Jin back then?In the end, he went to the Juluhou Mansion to be a cow and a horse for himself, and let him do his bidding.It's a pity that Xiang Shaolong was drawn over by Wujiabao.

Zhao Wang said: "If Mr. Qin wants to become an official in the future, I welcome you at any time."

Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Qin has something to do, so I will leave first."

Zhao Wang nodded and allowed Qin Zhiyong to retreat.

When Qin Zhiyong was here, everyone present would focus on him, and the banquet could not go on.

It would be good to let Qin Zhiyong leave early.

Qin Zhiyong walked out of the palace, and Shanrou followed.

Shanrou said with a face of shame: "Sir, Shanrou failed to win Lian Jin, and I am ashamed of you."

Qin Zhiyong said: "You have been able to practice basic swordsmanship in such a short time, and the speed of improvement has exceeded my expectations. I don't blame you for losing to Lian Jin. Shanrou, you have to remember that winning or losing is not that important. As long as You stick to your heart, constantly improve your cultivation, and one day you will stand at the pinnacle of the world."

Qin Zhiyong never cared about temporary honor or disgrace.

As long as you are still on the road of cultivation, you are not considered a loser.The one who laughs last is the real winner.

Shanrou said: "Shanrou always remembers the teacher's teaching."

…………

Wujiabao.

Xiang Shaolong was studying Ju Ziling again.He had a feeling that there must be some amazing secret in Ji Ziling.

Wu Tingfang came to Xiang Shaolong, and said angrily: "Xiang Shaolong, when you came back from the king's banquet, you were silent. Is there someone who offended you and made you unhappy?"

Wu Tingfang has an indescribable feeling for Xiang Shaolong, as long as she doesn't argue with him for a day, she will feel a little lost.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Today's palace banquet, you don't know how wonderful it is. It's a pity that you didn't go. Your old friend was so lucky that he was defeated by someone."

Wu Tingfang said angrily: "Who do you say is Lian Jin's best friend? You bastard, don't talk nonsense."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you and Lian Jin are innocent. Hey, do you think there are really gods in this world?"

Xiang Shaolong has received the education of the new era.Taking the time machine to the Warring States Period, facing the "natives" of this era, he actually felt very superior.After all, Xiang Shaolong's vision and thinking surpassed the present for more than 2000 years.

In Xiang Shaolong's eyes, Yuan Zong was already a strong swordsman, but after seeing Qin Zhiyong's martial arts, he doubted whether there were really gods in the world.

Qin Zhiyong repelled and injured Lian Jin with a drop of wine, no matter how you look at it, it was an extraordinary method.It is incredible.

Wu Tingfang hesitated for a moment and said, "I think there must be gods, although I have never seen them."

People have never seen the gods, but they are all looking for the gods and praying to the gods.

Xiang Shaolong was a little worried, if Zhao Guo also had a strong man like Qin Zhiyong, then it would be very difficult to rescue the proton Yingzheng.Pessimistically, it can even be said to be an impossible task.

…………

Zhao Ya is the younger sister of King Zhao, she is a famous figure in Handan City, everyone knows her.Zhao Ya likes to make friends with famous officials, but her son Zhao Pan is a playboy, which is very annoying.

After meeting Qin Zhiyong, Zhao Ya became very curious about him.

Zhao Ya has already investigated Qin Zhiyong's identity.

Before, Zhao Ya had entertained Xiang Shaolong.Zhao Ya once wanted his son Zhao Pan to worship Xiang Shaolong as his teacher.

However, now she seems to have a better choice.Qin Zhiyong's methods are extraordinary and holy, his martial arts are stronger than Xiang Shaolong, and he is Xunzi's closed disciple.

Zhao Ya didn't ask her son Zhao Pan to learn all the skills of Qin Zhiyong, but only asked Zhao Pan to save his life in the future.

Zhao Ya wrote the invitation and asked the housekeeper to send it to Qin Zhiyong's residence.

…………

Fame is a good thing.

When you deliberately pursue fame and fortune, fame and fortune are far away in the sky, but when you don't want to have fame and fortune, fame and fortune will come inadvertently.

Qin Zhiyong came to Zhao State just to send his teacher Xunzi a letter from his family.

If Xunzi hadn't asked Qin Zhiyong to come to Zhao with the Qi mission, Qin Zhiyong might have followed Xunzi to continue his research, or he might have gone to Qin.

From the beginning to the end, Qin Zhiyong never wanted to be famous.

But Qin Zhiyong rescued Shanrou in the palace, and defeated Lian Jin with one move. In a short time, his name spread throughout Handan City.

People describe Qin Zhiyong as a master in the world, or even a banished immortal.

In short, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous.

Shanrou came back in a black dress, carrying a roast chicken and a jar of rice wine.This is Qin Zhiyong's favorite food, and she went out to buy it specially.

Qin Zhiyong practiced his sword in the yard, his movements were very slow, seemingly harmless.

The knife is a bamboo knife, not sharp.

But when Qin Zhiyong wielded his sword, the sword intent seemed to be able to cut through the void and tear apart people's consciousness and spirit.

Shanrou felt that there was nothing in the world that could resist Mr.'s knife.

What is a real "clean cut"?Qin Zhiyong's sword intent was perfectly interpreted.

Qin Zhiyong took the bamboo knife away, and sighed: "I haven't practiced the sword for many years. Although the sword intent is much purer, but the sword technique is a bit rusty. The skill of the sword is close to the Tao; the skill of the sword is endless."

Shanrou put the grilled chicken and rice wine on the stone table and said, "Sir, I brought you something to eat."

Qin Zhiyong smiled and said, "Thank you."

Shanrou said: "Mr., your name is being spread outside. Everyone in Handan City knows that Mr. is an expert."

Qin Zhiyong said: "I'm afraid you're not just talking about me. You're also famous for your kindness. What I'm worried about now is that after you enter the Mohists' Guild of Zhao State, you may be in trouble."

The Mohist Guild is a non-governmental organization.

The folk and the government are often two different classes, and the issues considered by the two are also different.It's like people from vassal states can communicate with each other and go to other vassal states to serve as officials.But non-governmental organizations are different, they are more regional and more exclusive.

The more famous Shanrou is, the more she will be excluded after entering the Mohist Guild of Zhao State.Even if Shan Rou is worshiped under Zhao Ping, the Mohist giant, and is the elder sister of the Mohists in Zhao State, it will take a lot of energy and thought to truly integrate into the Mohism.

Qin Zhiyong told Shanrou the worries in his heart, hoping that Shanrou would be mentally prepared.

Just now.

An old man sent an invitation: "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Ya invites you to visit her house tomorrow night."

Shanrou's face changed slightly.

Lady Ya?
Apart from Zhao Ya, who else in Handan City is called Mrs. Ya?
Zhao Ya is very famous, but her reputation is not very good, it is a beautiful name.

What did Zhao Ya ask Mr. to come to the house for?And it was still night.

Qin Zhiyong accepted the invitation, and said with a smile, "Madam Ya, what business do you need from Qin?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know. Mr. Qin will naturally know what's going on when he arrives at Mrs. Ya's house tomorrow."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Okay. You go back and tell Mrs. Ya that Qin will definitely visit tomorrow."

After the old man left.

Shanrou said: "Sir, are you really going to Zhao Ya's house tomorrow?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "Zhao Ya is the king's biological sister. She sent all the invitations, how can she not go? We still have to give Madam Ya's face. Shanrou, get ready and go to Zhao Ya with me tomorrow Go to the house for a banquet."

A smile appeared on Shanrou's face, and she said happily, "Yes, sir."
