At the entrance of Little Saint Xian Manor, Shao Yu happened to see a group of Confucian disciples who were helping each other with bruises and swollen faces, and did not forget to try their best to cover up their appearance.
Just at this moment, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang passed by the door. When these Confucian disciples saw the two masters, they quickly sped up and ran and jumped to escape.
This rather funny scene left Yan Lu and Zhang Liang a little confused. They wanted to stop them and ask, but seeing how they were avoiding them, they gave up.
The two of them are not Fu Nian, and they are somewhat tolerant towards their disciples.
Shaoyu stood in the open space aside, scratching his head and feeling confused:
"What's going on? And Tianming, isn't he usually in a daze nearby at this time?"
Half guided by curiosity and half looking for friends, Shao Yu walked around carefully for a few times.
The Tianming people didn't find out, nor did they find out the cause of the Confucian disciples' madness, but it wasn't all without gain.
Looking at a row of strange dark red symbols painted on the bottom of the trunk of an inconspicuous big tree on the edge of the cliff, Shao Yu touched his chin and fell into deep thought...
………………
After a day of teaching, Mr. Yan Lu, the second master of Little Sage Village, returned to his small courtyard leisurely after finishing his busy work.
His steps are relaxed and his posture is comfortable.
This is natural. He said it was a busy day, but in fact he only had one class, and his life was not easy.
After entering the courtyard, the mother and daughter were sitting quietly in the courtyard.
Yan Lu smiled at the two of them, walked to the small table in the courtyard, and put the food box in his hand on it.
He has already had dinner, and this is another secretly reserved meal for two people.
There are over a hundred disciples in Xiaoshengxian Village. The scene during the meal is not chaotic, but it is more complicated. Yan Lu secretly leaves two meals and it is not noticeable. Anyway, he often takes the rice back and eats it alone.
Jing Salamander did not rush to eat, but looked at Yan Lu first:
"You seem to have any doubts?"
"Oh!" Yan Lu waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing, I just saw some strange things before."
He was just thinking about those Confucian disciples with bruises and swollen faces.
In fact, before meeting those injured disciples, he also met Tianming who was uneasy and didn't know what he was thinking.
Tianming, like the injured disciple, hid away immediately after seeing him and Zhang Liang. The only difference was that Tianming was not injured.
Although there was no evidence, Yan Lu seriously suspected that there was a deep connection between the two. He could even roughly guess that a certain degree of conflict broke out between the two parties because of their conflicts.
Yan Lu also knew a little bit about Tianming's ostracism during this period, but as long as it didn't become a big deal, Fu Nian wouldn't care about it, let alone him.
After all, these disciples don’t think it’s too big when they say it’s big, but it’s not too small when they say it’s small.
Xiaoshengxian Manor accepts students to impart the knowledge of the sages, not to be a nanny. Although dealing with people is also a part of learning, it is obvious that Fu Nian does not want to teach them what they should do and what they should not do.
Some things still have to be done by themselves and then taste the consequences for themselves in order to truly produce unforgettable effects.
Yan Lu will not take the disputes between juniors to heart.
What makes him curious is that Tianming seems to have the upper hand?
And judging from the strange expression on Shao Yu's face, he didn't know about it, which meant that Tian Ming didn't get help from his only friend.
This is a little bit more interesting.
Coupled with the incongruous reality of Chef Ding's special attitude towards Tianming and his sudden appearance in Xiaoshengxian Manor, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion:
This young man who cleverly defeated the Gongsun family's argumentative genius in a rogue way is not as simple as it seems, and he is definitely not just a fool.
The most important thing is that my junior brother must have played an important role in the secret behind it.
Regarding some of Zhang Liang's thoughts, Yan Lu could tell very clearly, and even Fu Nian basically knew about them. However, he was really smart and resourceful, and many times it would be useless even if you knew it.
Yan Lu didn't care about most things, and even if he was curious for a moment, it was only for a moment, but Zhang Liang's little calculation didn't allow him to think about it more.
After all, it is very likely to involve the entire Confucianism.
Jingli didn't care after receiving a vague answer. With her temperament, even if she faced Yan Lu, she would only ask this question at most. If the other party didn't want to tell him in detail, she wouldn't go into details.
However, after Yan Lu hesitated for a while, he decided to ask his old sister:
"Do you know Zhang Liang? My third junior brother is also known as one of the 'Three Heroes of Qilu'..."
Without Yan Lu's detailed introduction, Jing Salamang nodded directly, "I know, Gu Xun mentioned him to me many times, but I remember that I have never seen him in person since I went to Xianyang."
"Well..." Yan Lu sat down, thought about it for a while and then continued:
"As far as I know, although Liusha and the Empire are somewhat at odds with each other, they should still maintain a sufficient tacit understanding."
"Zifang... that is Junior Brother Zhang Liang, he should be inextricably linked to Liusha, but his attitude towards the empire seems... not very compatible with Liusha."
"Isn't this... no problem?"
"..." Jing Salamander was silent for a while, probably thinking about it. After all, she basically didn't care about such things in the past.
After a moment, he replied, "I don't know much about him. What impressed me most was that Gu Xun emphasized Zhang Liang's intelligence more than once."
"He is not related to Liusha, he is a member of Liusha and one of the founders of Liusha."
"However, Gu Xun said that the fall of Korea had an even greater impact on Zhang Liang than Han Fei, so he chose to study at Xiaoshengxian Manor after many considerations."
"For this reason, although Zhang Liang is still one of the founding members of Liusha, many of his actions have nothing to do with Liusha, but are his own actions."
"In this case..." Yan Lu asked doubtfully, "Isn't it possible that some of Zifang's behaviors run counter to Liusha's philosophy and even the specific plan?"
"Sounds like a big hidden danger?"
Jingshao shook his head, "It won't happen... I don't know the detailed reason, but Gu Xun said it wouldn't happen."
"In his original words: 'Zifang is indeed on a different path from my current choice, but fundamentally he has not deviated from Quicksand, it is just another attempt.'"
After Yan Lu heard this, he frowned unconsciously.
It can be said that Zhang Liang's thoughts are well hidden, but there are some unforgettable emotions that even a smart person like him can't help but reveal some clues in the end.
If Zhang Liang with such an attitude can't be considered as betraying Liusha, then... what exactly does Liusha want to do?
