In front of a mansion with beautiful mountains and clear waters and quiet scenery.

Stone lions are displayed on both sides, surrounded by green bricks and built into a garden. It is autumn, and although the fallen leaves are yellowing and withered, you can still vaguely get a glimpse of the spring scene.

This is the home of Lu Zhi, a contemporary scholar and official in the imperial court.

"Whoosh!"

Bang~~!

Inside the mansion, a feather arrow shot out from the hand of a tough, handsome young man in brocade robes, and stabbed firmly into the bullseye in the distance.

The young man raised his head and looked at the bullseye in the distance covered with arrows. He nodded with satisfaction and then put down the big bow in his hand.

Then, he looked at a man in green robe standing beside him with his hands hanging down, his arms longer than his knees, and asked casually:

"Brother Liu, the young man who came to visit has been talking with Master Lu in the mansion for a long time."

"Since I came to study, I have never seen Master Lu value someone so highly."

"What do you think he is?"

Hearing the young man wearing a brocade robe ask, the man slowly shook his head:

"Master Lu smiled when he saw the guest, and then welcomed him into the room without revealing his identity. Naturally, I didn't know."

"But I think it must be some powerful family in Tai'an City passing through Fanyang County, so I came to visit."

The two chatted and chatted, and based on what they said, one could guess that both of them were disciples of the Lu family.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to have such leisure time in this mansion.

"Whatever, with Master Lu's temperament, he will have to introduce him to us when he comes out later."

"Hey, look at the red-faced man who came with that kid just now."

Hearing the words of the man he called Brother Liu, the young man in brocade robes yawned out of boredom.

The next moment, as if he had found something fun, he suddenly cheered up again.

He tapped the arm of the man beside him with his arm and pointed at the long knife not far away. He paused for a moment in the courtyard and looked at the style of the mansion. He stretched out his finger and said with some interest in his tone:

"This person has a strong martial arts aura. From my point of view, he is not far from a martial arts king."

"You think if I fight with them, who can be better?"

Seeing the desire to win in the eyes of the young man in brocade robes, the man with slender arms felt helpless:

"This is a friend of Master Lu's guest. If you really go up to discuss with me, if you are disgusted by others, you will lose Master Lu's face."

"From my point of view, it's better to forget it."

Obviously, when it comes to respecting teachers, the man in green shirt with slender arms and a face like a crown jewel is more serious.

Seeing that his fellow disciple beside him was about to move, the man's big ears moved slightly. After hearing the movement of the figures stepping forward one after another on the threshold of the inner study, he immediately coughed:

"Brother Gongsun, Master Lu is out."

"It's time for us to step forward, lest we be told that we don't know etiquette."

After saying that, the man in green shirt straightened his clothes and walked away.

"Hey, wait for me, slow down!"

When the young man in brocade robes next to him saw this, he no longer wanted to compete. He put down the big bow in his hand and went forward with him.

Looking along the gaze of the two of them, one could see in front of the study room's threshold, a young man carrying a package and dressed in white, talking and smiling, talking to a middle-aged scholar in black clothes and ordinary attire.

.

It was difficult to hear the words clearly from a distance, but looking at his expression, it seemed that Lu Zhi, as a teacher, quite admired this young man.

"Disciple Gongsun Sheng, disciple Liu Xuan, pay homage to the teacher."

The two walked quickly and bumped into Ji Qiu and Lu Zhi head-on. Then they held the disciple ceremony and spoke to Lu Zhi together.

Seeing this, the scholar in black immediately smiled and introduced to Ji Qiu:

"Julu, these two are the two disciples I took in when I was idle at home."

"The one on the left is named Gongsun Sheng. He comes from the Gongsun family in Liaodong. He is a descendant of a famous family and has extraordinary martial arts skills. The one on the right, although his family has fallen into decline, has a prominent ancestor and is named Liu Xuan."

After the introduction, he pointed to Ji Qiu on one side and said to the two disciples:

"This is Zhang Yuan and Zhang Julu, from the Zhang family in Dangyang. He is a disciple of Zheng Xiu, the first scholar of Confucian classics in the world. His attainments in the Five Classics and Taoism are quite extraordinary. When you two study, you should take him as a model.

"

"Especially you, even if you are successful in martial arts, you should not favor one over the other. You must settle the world with your pen and settle the world with your horse. Do you understand?"

Looking at Gongsun Sheng, who was tall, with arms and waist and a handsome face, Lu Zhi criticized him mercilessly.

In response to this, the young man looked helpless, but did not dare to refute, so he had to comply.

"Mr. Lu's praise is too ridiculous. My attainments in literature and art are still far behind those of my teachers and seniors, so I don't deserve such praise."

"In my opinion, these two senior brothers are also extraordinary people. Their temperament is outstanding and outstanding. I think they are also talented people in the state. Otherwise, how could they be in the eyes of Mr. Lu?"

When Ji Qiu heard Lu Zhi's words, he was actually a little ashamed.

This gentleman was really honest, and he was not afraid that the two disciples would be unhappy after his praise.

While thinking to himself, Ji Qiu looked up at Lu Zhi's two disciples.

Before his simulated death, these two men were quite famous, especially the one named Gongsun Sheng, who once led an army to defeat him, and his troops were quite good.

He should be an extraordinary person.

[Follow-up:???(It exceeds the upper limit of the host's current strength and cannot be deduced for the time being.)]

[Simulation evaluation: With an iron-blooded appearance, he will start a boundless killing spree and become the hero of a state!]

...

【Liu Xuan】

[1 year old: He is a descendant of the king's blood. Unfortunately, it has been in decline for a long time and he comes from a humble background. 】

[9 years old: At a young age, his family had only a few walls, and he had nothing to offer, but he was more precocious and intelligent than his peers.]

The three forces in the south of the Yangtze River combined their efforts to burn the entire camp for 800 miles, and he died. 】

[Simulation evaluation: The emperor’s destiny is incomplete, it is really destined.]

"Um?"

Ji Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at the trajectory deduced by Gongsun Sheng and Liu Xuan, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Gongsun Sheng's trajectory was within his expectations.

but...

It was beyond Ji Qiu's expectation that this young man with arms above his knees and a face like a crown jewel would achieve such success in the future.

"He is another hero who proclaims himself emperor in a troubled time. He is comparable to Cao Wu. He is really powerful!"

While secretly marveling in his heart, Ji Qiu couldn't help but frown slightly.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Whether it was Cao Wu or Liu Xuan, both of them would be emperor-level figures in the future, but in the end they both died at the hands of Dao Meridian.

But this world... is obviously a world where aristocratic families are prosperous and civil and military arts are flourishing!

"When I launched the Taiping Uprising, there were also countless Daoist people who came together, and they were assisted by several Vajra masters who came to kill me."

"And when I was conferring the Taiping Sutra on Mount Taihua by Immortal Taihua, he once mentioned to me that if I want to practice the path of peace in the world, I will be the enemy of the whole world..."

"What's the connection between this?"

Intuition told Ji Qiu that some of the joints were wrong.

Even if it's just on the surface, the truth behind these is probably not simple.

"It seems that we still have to find a way to go to Taihua Mountain. After all, Immortal Taihua does have real abilities."

"And he seems to be able to peek into destiny, so after seeing me for the first time, he wanted to teach me the Taihua Sutra to lead me on the path of refining my Qi."

"I'm afraid only he can solve some of my doubts..."

Ji Qiu's mind was racing with thoughts, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses.

These are all things for the future.

At the moment, we should get over this illness in Youzhou first, and then talk about other things.

So, Ji Qiu bowed to Lu Zhi, who was dressed in black in front of him, and said thanks:

"Disciple, thank you very much, Mr. Lu, for opening the door of convenience."

"With your reputation as a guarantee, my disciple can practice my own path."

Lu Zhi stroked his long beard and smiled when he heard Ji Qiu's words:

"No need to thank you, I just want to say hello."

"And with your own ability, if you want to cure diseases and save diseases in Youzhou, no one will stop you."

"But what puzzles me is, is this your way of educating the world?"

Treating diseases and saving people cannot save the country or help the people's livelihood.

There was deep meaning in Lu Zhi's eyes.

Regarding this, Ji Qiu also had a magnanimous look:

"This is certainly not the avenue I have in mind."

"But... there is something that no one in the world is willing to do, so why not do it if I do it?"

"Someone has to do some things. Since no one is going, why can't it be me?"

"Are you right?"

Three questions in a row are thought-provoking.

After finishing his words, Ji Qiu submitted his resignation. After nodding his head to Gongsun Sheng and Liu Xuan, he took Guan Changsheng away.

Only the scribe in black was left to see him off, and when he lowered his head slightly in front of the threshold, there was a look of contemplation in his eyes.

"Someone has to do it, right?"

"interesting..."

After thinking for a moment, the scribe smiled.

Not only does this man have both ability and political integrity, he is accomplished in his studies, and he seems to be a man of integrity and caring for the world.
