At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its peak under the assistance of King Wen of Jin. Even people in Shu secretly envied the political clarity of Great Zhou, and complained about the militaristic policies of Shu merchant general Jiang Wei. There were many people in Shu at that time
For people, the demise of the Shu merchants made them secretly relieved, and even secretly rejoiced. With such people's hearts, no one would support Zhong Ai's separatist rule of Shu. As for the generals of the Zhou Dynasty who accompanied Zhong Ai to conquer Shu.
For example, you have just accomplished the task of destroying the country, and everyone is happily discussing how the court should reward you every day, and thinking about how to return home in glory and honor your ancestors, and no one is stupid enough to follow you, Zhong Ai, to rebel again.
Even if the rebellion succeeded in separatizing Shu, it would still be a feudal prince. But you don’t have to rebel to be a feudal prince, and it would be a feudal prince of the powerful Zhou Dynasty, not just a small place like Shu.
But today's Jin Dynasty is different. Although Zhao Min got the position of governor of Yizhou through Shen Xiu's path, after arriving in Shu, he appointed a large number of local people from Shu and ignored the orders of the court and strictly ordered the refugees not to enter the country.
Entering Yizhou. Only these two points earned Zhao Min the praise of countless Yizhou people. Even people in places such as Guanghan County, Zitong County, Xindu County and other places that were divided into Liangzhou were extremely envious of Zhao Min in Yizhou.
There is a governor like Shijun, but Liangzhou has a governor like Luo Shijun.
Regarding Zhao Min's failure, Gongsun Fan just sighed in his heart, this man has no destiny.
In such a chaotic situation in the Jin Dynasty, as long as the refugees at that time obeyed Zhao Min instead of resisting Zhao Min, in Gongsun Fan's view, it would be easy to capture Jiange Pass and then separatize Shu.
As long as the Central Plains is in chaos, Shu will definitely be divided. This is Gongsun Fan's own judgment. So when he heard these things about the newly arrived Bo Dao Tinghou, not only was he not angry, but he was even more moved by Zhou Xing.
interest.
In the past, Zhou Xing was engaged in building schools, medical clinics, and trade centers. In Gongsun Fan's eyes, these were the wishes of young people. They were neither good nor bad.
After hearing that Zhou Xing caused trouble in the county government and beat up Cao Jian, a householder, and many people in his family scolded the Tinghou for being so domineering and would definitely be punished by the court in the future, he saw that this person was not the kind of person who just follows the crowd.
.And at that time, he told his son Gongsun You that County Magistrate Zhang would never file a complaint with the county or state about this matter. The reason was very simple. This matter was actually the fault of the county.
He did not think that Zhou Xing beat Cao Jian on impulse. He thought that Zhou Xing saw through this and beat Cao Jian.
"At such a young age, this boy has such vision and judgment, and his cultivation level is that of Zhou Xing. He is really a powerful person! No wonder he can kill Shen Xiu, a great national thief who is famous for his resourcefulness." This is it.
His last concluding words to Gongsun You.
Gongsun You didn't take his father's words seriously.
Kill Shen Xiu?
Without King Qi's victory in the two places, what would Zhou Xing do to kill Shen Xiu?
Just a guy who got really lucky.
If those refugees hadn't gone back on their word that day, I might have been made a marquis by Zhao Min at this time. Ambassador Zhao, you are too indecisive.
But Gongsun You didn't want to. He was also on both sides at that time. He hoped that Zhao Min could successfully occupy Jiange Pass, and those who chose to follow Zhao Min could become generals or take charge of the government. At the same time, he also hoped that Zhao Min would succeed in occupying Jiange Pass.
Min failed to prepare, and tried not to leave any bloody cases on his hands. When the time came to explain, he was forced to have no choice, but he was in the Cao camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty.
Be like light and dust. This is the principle of life that Gongsun You has followed for so many years.
He didn't take his father's words to heart, but after his son Gongsun Sheng heard it, he took it to heart.
Gongsun Sheng was also a well-known genius in Shu, but when Jordan was born, he was always suppressed by this young man who was several years younger than him, and he never had the glory he had in his early years. This made the same high-spirited man
He was so arrogant that he was very depressed.
He always felt that it was not that he was really inferior to Jordan, but that his background was simply inferior to Jordan.
The Qiao family in Shu County has such a great reputation!
A young man from an outstanding family like him who has been an official for generations was naturally recommended by others just after he had his coming-of-age ceremony, and he recommended them all. In his eyes, unless he was the governor of a state or an official of the Shangluo court, he was recruited.
, he planned to become an official. In his 21st year, he went out to travel alone. First he went to Liangzhou, then entered Yongzhou, and then went from Yongzhou to Sizhou. He stayed in Shangluo for almost a year, and then returned to Shangluo.
He traveled to Yuzhou and returned to his hometown via Jingzhou.
When he went to Shangluo again, he was already twenty-five years old. This time he took his sister Gongsun Yan to study at Hongdu College. And two years later, when he heard that King Shen Xiu of Zhao had launched a coup in Shangluo to depose Empress Jia,
After that, he hurried to Shangluo to bring back his sister Gongsun Yan.
It was at that time that he heard a series of things about Zhou Xing.
A slave of Hongdu Academy can teach the swordsmanship of Zhang Bu, one of the three masters of Hongdu who is good at swordsmanship. One can make Wang Tianci, the proud man of heaven, and a man as arrogant as him even feel jealous.
He couldn't produce a person, so he had to hand over people at all costs. His sister Gongsun Yan liked Zhao Yu the most among the three heroes of Hongdu. According to her, Zhao Yu often praised Zhou Xing since he started dating.
He said that the other person's talent is actually several times better than his own.
When a person is praised by a genius, it may be an accident. But when a person is praised by several very outstanding people, it is definitely not an accident.
These years of travel have allowed Gongsun Sheng to get to know many handsome young people from all over the country, making him no longer as arrogant as he was when he was young, and his understanding of people and world affairs has become much better. Correspondingly, it is precisely because
With these breakthroughs in understanding, he also gained a lot of enlightenment in cultivation. The reason why he is still a sixth-grade green-robed monk is simply because of the continuous turmoil in Yizhou and he was unable to go there to re-evaluate his grade.
And now he doesn't value it as much as before, especially now that the world doesn't seem so peaceful.
There will be chaos in the world. Many people can see this situation clearly, and naturally Gongsun Sheng can also see it clearly.
"Using the method of publicly commending advanced people to encourage everyone to strive for the top, this method is beneficial and cost-effective. This Gaoting Marquis is not simple." Gongsun Sheng heard his brother Gongsun Shu talking about this matter at home, and then decided to come over and take a look.
After hearing about it, his sister Gongsun Yan also insisted on coming together, saying that although she was not familiar with Wang Tianyun at Hongdu College, she knew Wang Tianyun, a famous person in Hongdu College, but did Wang Tianyun know her?
She wasn't sure.
This made their father, Gongsun You, really complain when he found out, saying that since you are classmates, you should move around more. As for what you are not familiar with? You will become familiar with it if you move around a lot.
Gongsun Yan nodded obediently on the surface, but she didn't think so in her heart.
The number of female students recruited by Hongdu College is less than one-tenth of the number of male students. Wang Tianyun has contributed a lot to this. Before Wang Tianyun entered Hongdu College, female students were even rarer, and almost all of these female students were
Descendants whose parents had died during Malong's Western Expedition. As for those with families, whether they were rich or poor, they all refused to send their daughters to Hongdu College.
The reason why Gongsun Yan was later sent out by her family and recommended by the state was because after Gongsun Fan heard about Wang Tianyun, he decided against all opinions and decided to send Gongsun Yan to Hongdu College. She was also the first person from Shu to be recommended to enter.
A girl from Hongdu College.
In this regard, Gongsun Yan admired Wang Tianyun very much.
But this admiration did not last long.
Wang Tianyun's food, clothing, and supplies were beyond the reach of a "wealthy family" like her from Bodao in Sichuan, and she could still endure these. But when she saw the eyes of Zhao Yu, whom she had a crush on, peeking at Wang Tianyun, she felt towards Wang Tianyun.
The impression became extremely bad.
According to what many girls say privately, almost all the male cultivators in Hongdu College want to pursue Wang Tianyun and become the son-in-law of the Wang family in Jinyang.
After learning that Wang Tianyun actually married Zhou Xing, a man who was originally working as a handyman at Hongdu College, Gongsun Yan felt surprised and disdainful.
And what about the eldest lady of the Wang family in Jinyang?
It’s not just watery!
Everyone in Hongdu College knew that he and Zhang Bu were flirting with each other in the college. Why did he turn around and marry Zhou Xing, the man who killed Dean Shen?
However, at that time, everyone said that the relationship between Zhao Yu and Zhou Xing was unusual, but they didn't know whether Zhou Xing knew where Zhao Yu was now? What was the situation? Was he married?
Every time she thought of this, Gongsun Yan's face felt hot, and she couldn't help but steal a glance at her brother, fearing that her brother would see what her little daughter was thinking.
Little did she know that her brother's thoughts were not on her at all.
"Ashu just talked about the thing about commending advanced people. In my opinion, the most important thing is that Ashu said something disapproving about walking in unison and standing at attention." After Gongsun Sheng saw Zhou Xing's training, something came to his mind.
The history books he read when he was a child contained records about the famous ancient general Sun Wu, "Is this how Sun Tzu trained the concubines of the Wu Kingdom? And at that time, Zhuge Wuhou trained his troops for a year, and then he was almost invincible. Is this the same way?"
Like? Since this Tinghou has such ability, I don’t know what he is thinking in his heart? Is he just protecting the family and the people? Or does he have such great ambitions?"
Immediately, he smiled dumbly and said to himself: "In any case, it is obvious that this Tinghou loves the people. He has this love for the people and has the skills to train soldiers. After hearing what Ashu said, this person is also very open-minded and good at listening.
For such a person, I will block him."
He made up his mind and called Gongsun Yan who was worried, and the two of them walked towards Zhou Xingxing, who was sitting under a big tree to enjoy the shade.
"The monk Gongsun Sheng (Gongsun Yan) has met the king!"
Zhou Xing's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them wearing brocade robes that symbolized their status as monks. In the past few days, he had only recruited one monk, that is Huang Yuan. When Huang Yuan came to apply for the job yesterday, he saw him
I was stunned at first, not surprised at all, but a little embarrassed.
He had just sent his father to prison not long ago, and he heard that the war in Yizhou was not going well a few days ago, and all those in prison were pulled out to fight. I don't know whether Huang Ang is dead or alive now.
There are seven or eight families with monks in his fiefdom, but they are all small and "poor families". Not to mention compared to the national wealthy families such as the Jinyang Wang family, the Boling Cui family, and the
As for the Qiao family in Shu County, the Guanghan Xin family, compared to the Gongsun family of Bodao, they are both poor families. But compared to the families of Qiao Feng and others, they are a "rich family".
But even among the monks from the poor families in his fiefdom, no one came. He couldn't say anything to them. They all sent their own disciples who were not cultivators to apply for military service. It wasn't like they refused to perform military service.
This made Zhou Xing very depressed.
Although Zhou Xing felt uncomfortable about Huang Yuan's arrival, he immediately made a warm welcome gesture. He immediately asked the blacksmith to make a sign with "Advanced Home" engraved on it and gave it to Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan accepted it solemnly with gratitude on the surface, and after returning home, he buried it under the box.
Well, I really can’t hang it out, and I can’t afford to lose that person. Huang Yuanquan pretends that he has not confiscated this thing, and Quan pretends that he has never seen this thing.
Zhou Xing didn't know that when he saw Huang Yuan's cheerful look, he thought that his small favor had worked again, and he was very happy. When he saw Huang Yuan again, he no longer felt embarrassed. And he personally gave Huang Yuan a test.
, and found that although Huang Yuan only had one spiritual vein, his Qi sea was very large.
"In the past few days, you should concentrate on refining your spiritual power," Zhou Xing said to Huang Yuan, "When the spiritual power in your Qi Sea is full, I will teach you the 'Twenty-four Styles of the Divine Ape'."
This time, Huang Yuan was grateful from the bottom of his heart. Regarding the matter between his father and Zhou Xing, although he often said in his heart that the monarch was not wrong and that the monarch enforced the law impartially, it was impossible to say that he did not care. Until Zhou Xing
After Xing said these words, Huang Yuancai completely lost all concern.
"Jun Hou, when I came here, I saw that a lot of vines had been cut down in your kingdom, and some rattan signs were placed beside them." Gongsun Sheng said, "What makes me wonder is, why are these vines not dealt with?
"
Zhou Xingzheng was worried about this matter. He thought that the shield could be made by weaving vines into a shield. But he didn't expect that the shield made in this way would not be able to withstand the attack of the sword. He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know why.
solve.
"Mr. Gongsun, please tell me quickly!"
"This matter is not difficult." Gongsun Sheng traveled to various places and happened to see people making rattan plaques and rattan armor in a small tribe in Zangqi County. He had always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he actually remembered the process perfectly.
"Soak the woven rattan or rattan armor in tung oil for twenty-four hours, then take it out and dry it. The drying time needs to be at least two months. Then soak it again and dry it again. Repeat this for more than three times to make
The rattan armor and shield that come out will be invulnerable to weapons and weapons."
Damn it! Zhou Xing was shocked when he heard this: "It actually takes such a long time? How could it be done in time!"
"If you are in a hurry, I can make a trip to Xanghao County for you. There are several tribes there that have this kind of made rattan armor. But the quantity is difficult to guarantee."
"Mr. Gongsun is really a timely gift to me, Mr. Gao. I don't know what Mr. Gongsun needs, but as long as Mr. Gao has it, I will never be stingy."
"Without it, I hope that the king will realize his ambition in the future and never forget his original intention today."
