Fusu didn't know Xunzi's inner thoughts. After the moment of astonishment, he immediately showed a knowing smile:
"This is...what a coincidence."
Li Si on the side was stunned, "Young master, what you said is..."
Fusu didn't specifically answer Li Si. Anyway, Li Si would naturally understand after he finished speaking:
"Master Xun, last time I was rescued outside the city by your chivalry, I didn't even have time to thank you. Fusu always kept it in mind!"
As soon as Fusu said these words, Li Si's eyelids suddenly trembled.
The person who happened to save Fusu during the last attack was actually Xunzi!?
There is also this kind of coincidence... Why did Xunzi, who always lived in seclusion, leave the city?
Li Si was in a daze. Firstly, he didn't quite understand how such a coincidence happened. Secondly, he felt that he was somewhat unlucky - this was not good news for him.
A trace of doubt secretly flashed in Xunzi's eyes. He did not expect that Fusu would take the initiative to hide Ziming's existence.
why?
Fusu took the initiative to conceal Zi Ming, which just shows that he was very aware of Zi Ming's special status, so he did not want to expose Zi Ming's existence in public.
But the Mohist family had been labeled as rebels. Why did Fusu favor Ziming, who had a close relationship with the Mohist family?
Or is it that he is not favoring Ziming, but is favoring Confucianism?
After all, he is currently the most prestigious Confucian scholar in Confucianism. If he gets involved with the rebels, it will undoubtedly cause huge damage to the prestige of Xiaoshengxian Village.
Of course, in fact, Fusu was simply protecting Tianming.
Hmm... Strictly speaking, it's not biased. Fusu just omitted some content - he said that Xunzi saved him, and he didn't say that it was only Xunzi.
There was another person present at that time, but now he didn't see that person, so why not just ignore it?
As for Xunzi's confusion, Fusu would definitely not be able to explain it.
Now is not a good time to think about things. Xunzi can only press down on not thinking about it for the time being, and then... quickly patch it:
"Young master, there is no need to worry. Besides, I don't know martial arts. The ones who really contributed that day were the disciples of the Little Saint Xianzhuang who were following me. I really don't dare to take credit."
This is the patch Xunzi wants to make. He doesn't want to reveal the existence of Tianming, but there must be a third person present at the time.
Because to the vast majority of people present, Xunzi was a pure disciple of the Confucian literary school and did not understand martial arts at all.
If you don’t know martial arts, how can you save people?
Fortunately, this patch is easy to apply. Li Daitao can solve the problem and continue to conceal Tianming's existence.
Of course, this replacement must be arranged well, and if he is found later, his secret cannot be revealed.
But this is easy to handle.
As long as Xunzi said this, someone will naturally take care of it.
Fu Nian on the side is not a fool. He has no idea whether the students of Xiaoshengxian Village have been taken out by Xunzi recently or whether they have saved anyone - this Confucian disciple does not exist at all, and his uncle must be talking nonsense.
What he wants to do is definitely not to expose lies, but to establish the truth.
This step is also simple, he only needs to take the time to give instructions secretly and it can be done.
Depending on the situation, the two parties involved, my uncle and his son Fusu, have secretly reached a tacit understanding. Since they have formed a partnership, it will be easy to deceive other people.
Just find a skilled disciple and that's it.
Although Confucianism emphasizes that people should be honest, Confucius has never been a pedantic person, and he has never said that Confucian disciples are not allowed to lie.
Specific situations still need to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Of course, Fu Nian is a little pedantic, but he has always been strict with himself and lenient with others. If his uncle wants to deceive others, he has no choice but to cooperate.
And he is not so pedantic that he would self-destruct when it is obvious that something is wrong.
Fusu's eyes fluctuated when he heard this, and then he followed Xunzi's words with a smile:
"Yes, there is also that Confucian disciple."
"I wonder where he is now?"
Xunzi didn't answer and turned to look at Fu Nian.
Fu Nian understood immediately and took the initiative to interject, "Oh, the disciples are all in the villa now. If His Highness needs it, I will send someone to call him right away."
Fusu raised his hand and said, "Oh, that's not necessary."
"Just know that he is also a Confucian disciple and a member of Xiaoshengxian Village."
Li Si interrupted at this time, "I didn't expect that the person who saved His Highness the Young Master from the bandits that day was actually the teacher."
"What a coincidence!" His eyes wandered back and forth between Xunzi and Fusu, and he said with a smile.
Li Si noticed that the conversation between Fusu and Xunzi was a bit unnatural, and there was a high probability that there was some hidden secret in it.
However, the two parties concerned made it clear that they did not intend to talk about it, and their status was so special that he, the Prime Minister, could not afford to offend either of them, so he could only follow his authority and pretend that he did not know anything.
Zhao Gao simply didn't say a word, and just watched everything secretly with his eyes.
Fusu didn't care whether others noticed something was wrong, he raised his hand and ordered with a natural look:
"Pass on my order, Xiaoshengxianzhuang has done a good job in rescuing the driver, and he will be handed over to the commander for reward according to the laws of Daqin."
"Wei Chen understands." Li Si bowed his hands and accepted the order.
Fu Nian and others saluted and thanked them in unison.
After giving the instructions, Fusu didn't mention the matter anymore and just dismissed the matter as it related to his own life.
"Master Li, has the distinguished guest I invited arrived yet?" Fusu then asked Li Si.
Upon hearing this, Li Si immediately replied, "Wei Chen has not received any news yet."
"But... that distinguished guest has always been elusive, but since he agreed, he should arrive on time."
These words made Fu Nian murmur in his heart.
What is the identity of the distinguished guest that Fusu personally invited as a prince?
Moreover, that person actually dared to be so negligent in response to Young Master's request, and Young Master Fusu also showed no concern... I'm afraid his background is not simple.
This is undoubtedly bad news for Little Shengxian Village - all they need today is mediocrity.
Zhang Liang on the side looked calm.
He already knew who this special guest was.
But...for him, this distinguished guest is also a difficult person to deal with.
The main reason is that he knows nothing about this person except his name, and has no way of starting.
The psychological activities of others had nothing to do with Fusu. After he received the answer, he calmly ordered, "In that case, let's go to the village first."
Fu Nian gathered his thoughts when he heard the words, stepped aside to let the guests in, and at the same time shouted in a deep voice:
"present!"
The thirty-six Confucian disciples who had been waiting behind for a long time immediately started dancing after hearing the sound, and performed neatly and neatly according to standard movements.
Fusu walked alone among the many dancers, walked up the steps, and headed towards the gate of the Little Saint's Villa.
Of all the people who came here, he was the only one qualified to enjoy this eight-legged dance with six rows and six columns, so naturally he walked alone.
Li Si and others, at most, can be considered as doctors and scholars, but they are not worthy of six thousand.
Confucianism has always been meticulous in etiquette.
