Xun Qing in his mouth was referring to Xun Zi.

Xunzi was Li Si's mentor, and it is not inappropriate to call him this because of Li Si's status and fame today.

"My lord, if you want to see Uncle Shi, Fu Nian should lead the way." Fu Nian wouldn't stop him, and Li Si was so powerful that he couldn't stop him either.

"So, I will trouble Mr. Fu Nian."

"Sir, please."

Fu Nian stood up and made a gesture of invitation, guiding Li Si towards the back mountain.

This back mountain is a dense bamboo forest. There are not bursts of birdsong in the forest, but it is crisp and clear. The aroma of strange flowers floats in the forest, which makes people sober.

Walking in the bamboo forest path, the breeze is blowing on the face, and the bamboo leaves are falling with the wind, which is particularly quiet and natural.

After a while, everyone came to a small building in the forest.

This is a house made of bamboo in the forest. It is very small. There is a circle of bamboo rafts standing outside. There is a gate on the front.

"Sir, this is where Uncle Master lives in seclusion." Fu Nian pointed at the small building, and said with a hint of respect.

Li Si nodded and said nothing.

Squeak!

At this time, the door outside the building opened, and a six- or seven-year-old child came out.

The chubby little boy blinked with his **** eyes, looked around at the people around him, and then gave a Confucian salute, saying: "The master retreated and concentrated on studying the ancient scriptures, but there are no outsiders, everyone please come back. "

Li Si put his hands on his back and said lightly, "Please help to tell Xun Qing that it was his student Li Si who asked to see him."

When he got here, Li Si did not forcefully enter as the prime minister, but obeyed the ritual of Confucian teachers and students and waited outside the door, waiting for the results after the announcement.

The child bowed and re-entered the small building to ask for instructions.

The crowd didn't wait too long, and soon Xiaotong came out.

"Sir, the master said that he retreated and devoted himself to reading the ancient scriptures. No matter who came, he didn't see him. He also said, please go back where you came from, sir."

After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and closed the door again.

This scene is very similar to the plot in the anime, except that the reason why Xunzi didn't see Li Si in the anime is because Li Si killed Han Fei, which made Xunzi lose his best disciple, which made Xunzi have a great prejudice against Li Si.

Here, Xunzi doesn't want to see Li Si, and it has something to do with Han Fei's murder by Li Si, but it's not as decisive as in the anime.

Confucianism is very particular about etiquette and rules, advocating openness and integrity, uprightness and peace.

Li Si heard the words, his heart trembled, and he said quietly: "Can't you see?"

Although Li Si was already a prime minister, Confucianism always paid attention to the relationship between teachers and students, and he could not forget Xunzi's earnest teachings.

It can be said that without Xunzi's teaching, Li Si would not be where he is today.

"Oh, Xun Qing is such a big arrogant, and even Master Li can't see it if he doesn't see it. From the little girl's point of view, this is simply disrespectful, and you want to rebel."

Gongsun Linglong stood at the back and said yin and yang strangely.

"Uncle Shi has studied ancient books diligently and painstakingly, and he has developed a habit. I hope Master Li will never blame him." Fu Nian explained aside.

As for Gongsun Linglong's words, he was too lazy to pay attention.

"Xun Qing still has such a temper. It seems that I shouldn't be here today." Li Si knew that Xun Zi must have blamed him for killing Han Fei, so he refused to see him.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Si turned around and said to Fu Nian, "Mr. Fu Nian, it's rare to come to the Little Sage Village today, how about we have a reconciliation?"

"Reconciliation?" Fu Nian raised his brows slightly, his mind turned sharply.

Yan Lu and Zhang Liang, who were beside Fu Nian, swept their gazes to Gongsun Linglong behind Li Si.

Distinguishing harmony is a common way of competition among various schools of thought. The winner will be treated with courtesy, while the loser will naturally be unable to raise his head in the future.

This is a test about personal face and sect face, and any side attaches great importance to it.

Confucianism is a holy place for scholars all over the world, and there are naturally many people who are good at distinguishing harmony.

But the person they have to face is Gongsun Linglong, who is known as a genius of sophistication. In terms of reconciliation, Gongsun Linglong can be said to be the master of this Dao, and few people can match it.

Even if they were as strong as Confucianism, they all frowned.

"What? Could it be that Mr. Fu Nian is unwilling?" Li Si spoke again, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

"No, Master Li invites you, so what's Fu Nian's reason not to follow? In that case, why don't we put this competition on tomorrow?" Although Fu Nian was a little worried, he was not timid.

However, Li Si suddenly made this request, which caught Fu Nian by surprise, and it was too late to prepare. He had to find a way to postpone it until tomorrow, and then make plans.

"Well, if it's not too early today and the sun sets, then we will choose this time tomorrow, what does Mr. Fu Nian think?"

Li Si seemed to have expected it long ago, and nodded in agreement.

In this way, if Confucianism loses at that time, there will be nothing to say.

"Thank you, Master Li, and Fu Nian is very grateful." Fu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, at least they had one more day to prepare.

Li Si and the others came prepared, obviously they had the chance to win, and it was only natural for Fu Nian to buy time for himself and others, so Li Si did not allow it.

"Mr. Fu Nian, then I'll take my leave first, and we'll meet at the Confucian welcome hall at this time tomorrow." Li Si bowed his hands and said.

"Lord Li, please walk slowly, please."

Li Si left, and Fu Nian took Yan Lu and Zhang Liang to **** him out of the door, sending him away respectfully.

However, Li Si suddenly turned around at this moment and looked at Fu Nian.

Chapter 412

"Mr. Fu Nian, the rebels of the Mo family seem to have come to the city of Songhai recently. If there is news of these people, I think you know what to do?"

Li Si looked at Fu Nian and said lightly.

"Fu Nian understands what the lord said, please rest assured." Fu Nian raised his brows, changed his mind, and replied lightly.

The same as a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism and Mohism still have some similarities in some concepts, and he has heard a lot about what happened not long ago.

However, for Fu Nian, this has nothing to do with him.

As long as Confucians manage themselves well, it is enough, and it is better to be less mindful of other people's gossip.

"So, I can rest assured. By the way, before leaving Xianyang, His Majesty the Emperor has a word for me to bring to Mr. Fu Nian." Li Si said lightly, his voice was very soft, and he could not hear any changes.

But these words had a different taste in Qilu Sanjie's ears.

They were very curious about what Ying Zheng asked Li Si to bring.

Li Si carried his hands on his back and said as he walked, "Under the whole world, is it the king's land, and the coast of the land is not a king's minister!"

At this point, everyone's mind sank, Ying Zheng's warning is already obvious, if they still can't understand, then Fu Nian and others are also falsely claiming to be the three heroes of Qilu.

After Li Si left, all the masters who came with him got into the carriage and left slowly.

"It's really not a good comer... I'm afraid that tomorrow's peace settlement..." Yan Lu looked at the leaving carriage, the heavily armored soldiers, and said with a little worry.

"Although I have my mind and I don't care, my little sage is not to be humiliated. When Li Si comes here, there must be a conspiracy. I should always keep it in mind." Fu Nian put one hand under Xiong's mouth and the other behind him, solemnly said.

"Senior brother, what you said is very true, but how should we deal with the reconciliation tomorrow?" Yan Lu asked.

"We can only wait and see how things change. However, when the time comes, the disciples who are knowledgeable and good at distinguishing peace can come. Anyone who wants to come can play. The other party is Gongsun Linglong, a genius of sophistry. So reckless."

Fu Nian saw Li Si's thoughts thoroughly and summed it up in one sentence.

"Senior brother is right, we just need to wait and see how things change, don't be nervous." Zhang Liang said with a smile on the side.

The three sent Li Si away and went back to prepare for the next day's match.

Zhang Liang did not go back with the two brothers, but went to the residence where Wang Feng lived temporarily.

"Brother, let you wait for a long time, I will take you to see the teacher."

As soon as Zhang Liang saw Wang Feng, he said he was serious.

"Well, I'm bothering the second brother."

Wang Feng and Jing Ke put down the teacups in their hands and followed Zhang Liang out of the residence.

Like Li Si and the others, Wang Feng and others also came outside the bamboo house.

Zhang Liang gently attacked the door, then stood outside the door and waited for a response from inside.

Squeak!

The little boy who accompanied Xun Zi opened a gap, his black eyes looked outside a few times, and then walked out from the inside.

"Uncle Shi, the little boy is polite." The little boy bowed respectfully, then looked at Wang Feng and the others, and didn't say much.

"Please tell the teacher that the friend I mentioned earlier has arrived."

Zhang Liang was always a disciple of Xunzi, but he also acted according to Xunzi's rules.

"Master, please wait a moment."

The boy bowed again, closed the door of the bamboo house, and went in.

Wang Feng and others waited quietly outside, and he also knew that the rules of Confucianism wanted to be like this.

It didn't take long for the child to come out of it.

"Uncle Shi, Shizu invites you in."

The child made a gesture of invitation, opened the door, and let Wang Feng and others go first.

Zhang Liang returned the salute and led Wang Feng and the two into the gate.

Inside the gate is a simple bamboo house, not too big, but in this elegant and leisurely environment, it has a different meaning.

"Uncle Shi, let's go in, the little boy will send you here." The little boy bowed and left without saying much.

Zhang Liang came to the Bamboo House and shouted respectfully, "Teacher, please see the ovary."

"Come in!" A refined, old voice came from inside.

Although Wang Feng has seen the image of Xun Zi in the anime, this is the first time he has seen him here.

He was also a little curious about what the great Confucian master would look like.

After entering the bamboo house, the furnishings inside are very simple. Except for a bamboo couch, there are books on the side, and there is a table in the middle with a chessboard on it.

At this time, an old man was thinking hard there.

The old man was dressed in white robes, his hair and beard were all white, and the wrinkles on his face were tightly locked, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, and there were flashes of light from time to time. If an ordinary person stood in front of the old man, he might mistake him for an ordinary old man.

This person is Xun Zi, the Confucian master of the current generation of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

This is a world-famous old man. He sat behind the chessboard, thinking hard, holding a white stone in one hand, but he failed to fall for a long time.

Wang Feng saw that the chessboard was already full of chess pieces, black and white chess pieces were densely covered, and the form was clear. If there was no accident, the black piece would definitely win.

From the animation, Wang Feng knows Xunzi's chess skills, but he is not as good as his knowledge and martial arts, on the contrary, each of his disciples is very good.

Whether it is Han Fei, Li Si or Zhang Liang, they are all masters of chess, and they have beaten Xunzi a few streets in terms of chess.

The chess game on this chessboard was left over from ancient times and recorded in an ancient book.

"It seems that your teacher has encountered a problem." Wang Feng said softly.

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "It's been three months, and the teacher has been unable to solve this mess."

Wang Feng heard the words and said, "Could it be that the ability of the ovary can't be solved?"

Zhang Liang's chess skills are extremely advanced. When he was in the country of Han, he compared his chess skills with Han Fei.

If even Zhang Liang can't solve it, then it's normal that Xunzi can't solve it.

"It's not that it can't be solved, it's just..." Zhang Liang didn't say it, but Wang Feng understood it.

Xunzi was a great master of Confucianism of a generation, but he was also a man of great face.

If Zhang Liang told Xunzi the solution, although he could solve it, he was afraid that Xunzi's face would not hang, so Zhang Liang never dared to say it.

"Oh, why can't it be solved all the time? As expected of an ancient endgame, it's really amazing."

At this time, Xunzi dropped Baizi in his hand, shook his head, and gave up.

"Teacher, this is the eldest brother the disciple told you last time, and he is also a master of chess."
