Qu Jiang listened to Teng Shuyu's words, looked at the few ink masters who were discussing something in the distance, and said indifferently: "The ink scholars think that all people are equal regardless of the elderly. In addition to the ink person, I am a prominent member of the Qu family surnamed Mi; Among the inkers, there is only one ...... Well, a person. people, that's all. ”

"Shu agriculture and industry, if there is meritocracy, it will be lifted. My sword is not as good as a man, my shooting is not as good as a bird, Xiao Tianzhi is not as suitable, my argument is not as good as fifty-four, my punishment is not as good as a copy, and my craftsman is not as good as an axe, I really don't know why I can't be an ordinary inkman. ”

Teng Shuyu was really convinced this time, and sighed and said, "Isn't Luo Qianli really the number one warrior among the ink masters?" ”

When Qu Jiang heard the word warrior, he smiled helplessly, looked at Hu Feizi behind him and said, "Sir, it seems that he still doesn't know what courage is." ”

Hu Feizi also smiled, and said to Teng Shuyu: "If you can't know what Yong is, then you will think that I am insulting you by praising you just now." So let me answer for you what courage is. ”

Teng Shuyu nodded, and Hu Feizi glanced at Qu Jiang and bowed his head at him.

Qu Jiang said to Teng Shuyu: "Ten years ago, I also understood Yong like you. But sir made me understand what courage is, please do this moment ten years ago. ”

After saying that, he helped his high crown, Hu Feizi knelt on the ground, half-closed eyes, recalling the events of ten years ago.

Qu Jiang took a step forward, suddenly pulled out the Chu sword, and pressed it against Hu Feizi's neck, Hu Feizi suddenly opened his eyes, but he was not afraid, but stared at Qu Jiang.

Qu Jiang's wrist did not tremble, the blade of the sword slashed around Hu Feizi's face, and said with a smile: "I am the warrior of Chu State, Qu General, I heard that Mo Zhi Fei Dou, I think that the ranger warriors are stupid to fight, and I am not brave." So if you can't tell me what great courage is, I can only kill you, because you have insulted me, because I am the kind of stupid warrior that you ink men say. ”

Hu Feizi recalled the conversation ten years ago, and asked without changing his face: "In the eyes of Yong as you understand it, am I a warrior?" ”

The sword in Qu Jiang's hand stabbed a few more times, and said, "You are a warrior." If you are not a warrior, then you will definitely be scared to pee out at this time, and your face does not change, so you are a warrior. ”

Hu Feizi laughed, as if he didn't care about the blade of the sword that was swimming near his throat, and said loudly: "Among the four braves defined by Zi Mozi, it is called Tao Yi's bravery. ”

Qu Jiangqi said: "What is the courage of Tao Xuan? ”

"The landslide is in front, the face does not change, the height is looking down, the legs are not shaking, the body is like a clay pot and is not affected by the situation outside, even if the blade is in the throat, it is still laughing and talking, it is the courage of Tao Yi to be able to do this."

Qu Jiang said: "I can do this, and you can do it too." So why do you ink writers criticize those who like to fight? Please tell me what the rest of the three Yongs are, and if I don't like it, then I will kill you and then kill Mo Zhai who said this. ”

After ten years, Hu Feizi's face still showed a look of disdain, and said: "Fighting tigers and leopards, fighting bears with bare hands, and killing dragons are the courage of fishing and hunting." ”

"When others look at you, they stab someone with a sword, and when someone else glances at you, you kill the whole family, this is the courage of the five punishments, the stupid courage of self-seeking punishment, and it is a person like you."

"For example, when Cao Mo met the alliance after the long spoon war, he hid a sharp blade in his body, hijacked Qi Huan, and said: 'Please withdraw from the army and no longer cut Lu, otherwise I will cut your neck and bleed', Qi Huan then retreated from the alliance. With the strength of one person, retreat from the country of ten thousand times and save the weak state of thousands of times, this is called the courage of a gentleman. ”

"It's like Yan Ying back then, who is five feet tall. Qi Zhuang privately communicated with Cui Wuzi's wife, and gave Cui Wuzi's hat to mock her, and was finally killed by Cui Wuzi. Yan Ying went to Cui Wuzi's mansion alone to cry Zhuang Gong with a five-foot body, and drifted away after crying, but because of the support of all the people, Cui Wuzi did not dare to kill, which is also the courage of a gentleman. ”

"So, aren't you fools who call yourself warriors stupid warriors who are far from true bravery?"

After that, General Qu took off the high crown on his head, took three steps back and knelt on the ground: "Please teach me the courage of a gentleman to benefit the world, let all the people support, and save the weak and small countries." ”

"I am willing to do the courage of a gentleman like Cao Mo for the world. Blood spattered in five steps for the stability of the world! ”

After the two of them finished acting, Qu Jiang put away his sword and stood behind Hu Feizi, Teng Shuyu had a strange expression on his face, and said after a long time: "Is it difficult that I am only the courage of the five punishments?" ”

Hu Feizi said: "No. Didn't you say that you didn't spare your life, but that you wanted to keep it for great things? If you want to lift a big thing that can benefit the world and save the weak state, isn't this the courage of a gentleman? So when I say you are a warrior, I am not insulting you. ”

"Besides, you are just a scholar, if there are many people who can be doctors among the ink masters, and there are also many people who can be called swordsmanship masters, is it something to be ashamed of being defeated in the hands of the ink masters? In the battle of the long spoon, Qi Wan was defeated, ashamed and ashamed; The more Teng Bang is destroyed, the more ten thousand times the hundred times are pressed, do you have to feel ashamed? ”

When Teng Shuyu heard this, he only felt as if the hemp rope thrown by the hemp dippers on the shore when he fell into the water when he was a child, and couldn't help but follow Hu Feizi's words: "That's right, I just want to keep this body to do some big things." Although I don't know if it's what you said is beneficial to the world, at least it's not just the courage of the five punishments! ”

These truths were originally told to him by Hu Feizi, and of course Teng Shuyu said this not so that Hu Feizi could hear it, but hoped that those partners and friends around him would hear it.

He felt that the ink man had given him enough face, and after his face was damaged, these ink people did not come to insult him, but found such an acceptable reason for himself, and this thought alone was enough for him to repay in the future.

He is a nobleman who has lost power, a man in the market, even if he regrets not making the right choice for a while, but the feelings and ways of doing things in these markets are still not forgotten, and they have been integrated in the blood.

You don't have to say these words, just keep them in your heart, but Teng Shuyu doesn't know how to repay the ink man. At least he felt that he couldn't do such a thing as becoming an ink master, and there were many talented people among the ink masters, even if he had a sword and a martial arts, where would he be able to make his own move?

The partners and friends next to him have also been persuaded by Hu Feizi, and they already have a friendship with Teng Shuyu, and those who see the ink say this, so they no longer think about those seemingly shameful escapes.

Hu Feizi said again: "Those witches and wished to accumulate wealth and kill people, and the ink man killed them to benefit the world." I don't think you know what's going on, do you? ”

At this point, what else could Teng Shuyu say, and said repeatedly: "I really don't know, I don't know now." If I wanted to know, how could I do such a thing for the sake of thousands of dollars? Although I don't know the righteousness of the world as well as a writer like you, I also have the rules of a market ranger. ”

Hu Feizi smiled: "In this way, please cultivate." In a few days, I will come back to see you and ask you about the important things you want to do. ”

After that, he saluted with Qu Jiang and slowly retreated.

Halfway through, Qu Jiang asked, "Sir, is Teng Shuyu really such a person?" ”

Hu Feizi shook his head and said, "I don't know." Fleeing with regret may be to do something big, or it may just be afraid of death. This is someone else's heart, how can you speculate? But the giant has an order, and we will obey it. It may be useful in the future, so it is. ”

…………

On the other side, Ji Chengzi came to the side of those big clans and officials with a cold face.

These people are like facing a great enemy, the ink man didn't say let them go, nor did he say that he wouldn't let them go, they saw the ink man's methods, how dare they make their own opinions?

Not to mention the terrifying words I heard in the afternoon, even these hundreds of ink makers with profits in their hands are not something that these Peiyi clans can deal with.

Mozi has been righteous for decades, his footprints are all over the world, and the disciples he has collected are the essence of the world, where is the so-called big clan of Peiyi, which has not yet become a place for the migration of wealthy nobles at this time?

I thought of using it to intimidate the inker, but who would have thought that the inker didn't care at all, but turned these intimidations into invisibility with a wave of his hand, and even intimidated the person who wanted to intimidate in turn.

In the afternoon, these people could be considered to have understood, and the ink master didn't take their family seriously at all.

Yi Chengzi was also the person who led the patrol and led a group of ink scholars in the afternoon, and these people also knew that this person had a high status among the ink scholars, so they trembled.

Ji Chengzi also received the order of the giant, and explained clearly how to do it, so he said to these people: "Since you have come to get together, I thought that I would stay with you for a few more days, but some officials still have to go back to deal with political affairs. ”

Where did those officials who were deeply involved in wealth affairs dare to speak up, so they had to whisper: "We are here, it is really these witches who asked us to testify about the revenge of blood relatives." This matter is not in line with the righteousness of the Mo, but it is the reason of everyone, and we can't help but come. ”

Imitate Chengzi's heart, I'm not stupid, aren't you involved in this matter? But he didn't say anything at this time, he only said: "Those witches wish to collect wealth and live sacrifices, which greatly harm the world and anger the ghosts and gods, isn't it wrong for the ink master to do this?" ”

The elders of the Pengyi clan said: "Yes! Great goodness! ”

Ji Chengzi laughed: "That's right. This matter still needs to be investigated, but it is expected that it has nothing to do with you, so please go back to Peiyi. There are not enough cars and horses to send each other. Please. ”

This is the meaning of letting these people go, but when these people heard that they wanted to find out what was behind those witch wishes, where did they dare to go?

Even if you leave, you have to figure out what the future will be so that you can deal with it, and at this time, you want to leave but don't dare to go, so you have to keep quiet.

I don't want to be among these people, the descendants of Xia Qi, who proposed to intimidate Mo with blood feuds, first stood up and worshiped Xie Mo for his righteousness, and Peiyi will definitely rule the clouds in the future, and said that everyone left.

Everyone has no idea, the blood feud is like this, and this person can't be blamed, no one expected that the ink man's background is so deep, and when he heard this person make a decision, they all learned and left together.

After leaving the ink man for several miles, many people were covered in sweat and stopped. Several old men gathered together again, and after asking Na Xia Qi, he said, "The ink master said so, where do you dare to go?" ”

After that, Xia Qi said: "The ink man is known to be smart and cruel, how can he not know about us?" Since we are allowed to go, it means that we will not be held accountable, and of course it is also a warning to us and others not to hinder the ink again. Although we are not as good as the inkers, we really want to make chaos and disagree, and it is difficult for the inkers to do it. ”

When he said this, everyone also felt that there was some truth, and they asked, "What does the ink man mean today?" What's next? ”

Xia Qi then said: "It's nothing more than wanting to open up the land privately." In the afternoon, I listened to the handouts of the ink writers, and I didn't care about the Itianbian Xun, the rumors were not bad at all, and the Rumo was a mortal enemy. I hereby advise you that since the Mo people recognize private property, it is better not to hide private land and acres by the means of the past. Since they recognize private property, I only hope to write down the bamboo deed that belongs to me, and I am willing to pay the mu tax. ”

He didn't say why, the rest of the people just thought that he had been frightened by the ink man, and they all thought that if it was calculated according to the private mu tax, the annual millet tax was very large, how could it be done without means?

After the man had finished speaking, he did not explain, let alone the rest of the people, and after saluting farewell, he boarded the car and sped away, as if he wanted to flee from this place.

The rest of the people thought that this person was afraid that he had been frightened by the ink man, and the officials were all colluding with him, and he had many means.

Besides, if the private mu tax is used to check the acres of land, the mu tax will also be added to those subordinate farmers who rent seeds or make a living from them, how can they be willing? At that time, it will touch the interests of everyone, even if the ink is righteous and righteous, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do.

Moreover, these things are very involved, so aren't the big clans in Shangqiu worried? At this time, Wu Zhu may not care, if the ink person really investigates the private mu and the bamboo deed to determine the field, I am afraid that the Shangqiu clan will not be willing, and then they can be used as help, and they may not be afraid of these ink people.

As long as you go back and prepare early, why be as frightened as that person?

The leaders discussed it again, and then left, returning to Peiyi, and making preparations, but they did not dare to touch the ink easily. It is not for the sake of touching the vital interests, and I have been so frightened by today's events that I dare not use similar measures again, and I only want to not disturb each other for the time being.
