Su Wen took a deep breath and said after a long time: "No way?"
When Dongguo Mu first met him, his integrity was so shocking that Su Wen felt ashamed when he saw it.
But in the blink of an eye...
This upright Legalist leader surrendered to the enemy in the blink of an eye?
Cold sweat broke out on the tip of Su Wen's nose.
He thought to himself that he was lucky.
He didn't reveal a single word about his plan to escape from the nest to Dongguo Mu.
otherwise……
Su Wen was very sure that if Long Aotian learned of his escape plan, there would be no way he would survive.
After all, Long Aotian has made him his confidant. If Long Aotian finds out that he still wants to escape, he will definitely become angry.
Having angered Long Aotian, Su Wen felt that he was doomed even if Walnut was present.
"Senior Brother Shen..."
Su Wen motioned for the others to leave temporarily and gave Shen Buhao a look.
"I know……"
Shen Buhao gritted his teeth and said: "It is very possible that the teacher wants to use the lobster man to be promoted to the pillar. In order to win the trust of the lobster man... we can all be betrayed."
Having said this, he smiled miserably and said: "But this is not surprising. Legalist scholars, for their own beliefs, have attacked and undermined each other countless times. It is not surprising, not surprising..."
He had countless filthy words in his heart, but Dong Guo Mu was his mentor after all, so he really couldn't curse him out.
What's more, so far, he has no evidence to support his guess. If he makes a mistake and humiliates Dongguo Mu in this way, his behavior is the same as bullying his master and destroying his ancestors. Naturally, he can bear it as long as he can.
"Dad! Long Aotian is here!"
At this time, the voice of the Earthly Branches sounded quietly in Su Wen's heart.
Hearing Earthly Branch's words, Su Wen knew clearly that Dongguo Mu must have gone to find Long Aotian. Otherwise, how could Long Aotian come to his door in the middle of the night?
"Dongguo Mu is also following..."
Earthly Branch added.
Hearing this, Su Wen felt even more enlightened.
"Brother Long, are you here in the morning? Is there anything urgent?"
Su Wen did not pretend not to know that Long Aotian was coming, but greeted him from a distance.
"Ah ha ha ha..." Long Aotian laughed strangely from a distance, and his thin figure soon appeared in front of Su Wen. It was indeed followed by Dong Guo Mu, but Dong Guo Mu's face was gloomy at this time, hiding in the shadows. Zhong, did not say hello to Su Wen or anyone else.
"Brother Su, I heard from the children below that there were signs of uneasiness in your camp in the middle of the night, and I was worried. I came here to ask if there is any place where I need my help."
"It's just a lie..."
Su Wen chuckled at Long Aotian, looked past Long Aotian, fell on Dong Guo Mu, and sighed: "Mr. Dong Guo's beloved disciple, Brother Shen, woke me up in the middle of the night, saying that his teacher was missing... and so are you. You know, this place is not very suitable for our human life. We were afraid that something might happen to Mr. Dongguo, so we looked around, but what we didn't expect was... he came back with my brother." There seemed to be a hint of emotion in the voice. Complain.
"Oh...that's right."
Long Aotian's tentacles swayed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I have found him for you...you all should have a rest early."
Su Wen was quite surprised when he saw that Long Aotian was unwilling to say more about this matter.
He originally thought that Long Aotian would scold him when he saw him, then ask him if he was planning to escape, and then drag Dong Guo Xi to testify. Finally, leaving him speechless, he slapped his head to pieces. Take his life.
But Su Wen couldn't handle a soft "rest of peace".
"……good."
Su Wen hesitated for two seconds before responding, turning around and waving to everyone: "Mr. Dong Guo is back, please go back to sleep."
"Mr. Dong Guo, if you go out in the middle of the night, why don't you tell Senior Brother Shen..." Su Wen said helplessly to Dong Guo Mu: "This is not good."
"I forgot and disturbed you all. I'm very sorry."
Dongguo Mu's old face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. When he spoke, his voice was gritted, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was really being blamed.
The reason for his disappearance was exactly what Su Wen and Shen Buhao had guessed.
In order to meet the conditions for the promotion ceremony, Dongguo Mu really made a move and prepared to join the Lobster People to help them design a civilized order and bring them out of barbarism and towards civilization.
So he found Long Aotian.
However……
Long Aotian was not interested in Dongguo Mu who came to seek refuge.
Yes, in the eyes of Long Aotian, the headmaster of the dignified Tianshi Academy is even less knowledgeable than the obedient Confucian scholars trained by Su Wen. The "law, technique, and force" he mentioned are exquisitely said by Legalists to improve social civilization. In Long Aotian's opinion, there is nothing remarkable about the level of rules and techniques.
It is even less likely to be compared with the Confucian moral knowledge of "propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame".
Dongguo Mu explained endlessly for several hours and put forward a detailed plan that would allow the lobster people to run into the level of human civilization, but it was not worth a penny in Long Aotian's heart.
After patiently listening to Dong Guo Mu's plan for civilization and progress, Dong Guo Mu asked: Does he know Confucianism and can he understand the Analects of Confucius?
These words directly confused Dongguo Mu.
Later, Long Aotian mentioned a few words in the name of research: Let Dongguo Mu elaborate on the passages in the Analects.
Although Dongguo Mu was a Legalist scholar, he could interpret an Analects of Confucius, so it was no problem.
It was just his explanation... but he was regarded by Long Aotian as ignorant and incompetent. He thought that if the lobster people group followed such a human being who could only talk nonsense, they would only become more and more stupid. Why? Possibly moving toward civilization?
So Long Aotian was about to see off the guests.
Moreover, he personally sent Dong Guo Mu back, making Dong Guo Mu dying of shame and anger.
Dongguo Mu, who was unwilling to be abandoned, became worried and revealed Su Wen's plan to escape.
Although Su Wen never mentioned this plan from beginning to end, Su Wen's actions and tacit answers were enough to prove Su Wen's thoughts.
When legal scholars do this kind of thing, they actually need to pay attention to evidence. Even forged evidence is still evidence, and basic procedures are indispensable.
But... considering that the Lobster people are not civilized at all, and Long Aotian is even more ignorant, arrogant, and arrogant, Dongguo Mu is not too concerned and wants to gain Long Aotian's trust by stepping on Su Wen.
But Long Aotian ignored Dong Guo Mu's thoughts and sent him back directly. He did not kill Dong Guo Mu on the spot, which was also Long Aotian's little thought. He also wanted to see Su Wen's behavior towards Dong Guo Mu. What kind of reaction is it?
It's definitely fun.
Leaving Dong Guo Mu, who was stunned, Long Aotian made a gesture of invitation and said to Su Wen: "Brother Xian, shall we go for a walk?"
"good."
Su Wen quickly responded.
At this time, he neither dared nor was willing to refuse Long Aotian's invitation. He also wanted to know what Dongguo Mu said to Long Aotian.
It's impossible to take the initiative to inquire about that. It's better not to ask. If you ask, Long Aotian may think that there is something wrong in your heart. But Dongguo Mu has done something like this, so don't ask... isn't that? It's obvious that he has a guilty conscience.
Don't you even dare to mention it...
"Brother Xian... the Five Stone Powder you mentioned, I have actually prepared a secret medicine suitable for us lobster people to take. It is also made from five rare materials. After taking a little, you will feel as if you are in heaven."
It makes people feel happy all day long without any side effects. Do you want to try it?"
Long Aotian took out a jade bottle and rubbed it carefully: "If you want, I can give you a little bit. The refining is not very stable at the moment. Brother Yu can only make three bottles every day."
"...This is too precious, and I don't like it. Brother, just keep it for yourself and enjoy it." Listening to Long Aotian's words that were half sharing joy and half showing off, Su Wen quickly thanked him and accepted his kindness.
"That's such a pity..." Long Aotian carefully put away the jade bottle and continued: "The scholar named Dong Guo just now has little knowledge and really bad character. He said bad things about you in front of me, and his students also
After scolding him together, you should deal with him well."
"This..." Su Wen frowned slightly: "What bad words were said... This shouldn't be the case... I have only met him for a few hours, and I have never offended Mr. Dongguo."
"Hey..." Long Aotian smiled coldly: "There is a proverb in your human race that says, "Knowing people knows their faces, but they don't know their hearts. It's people like him who actually say you want to run away..."
"..."
Su Wen suddenly felt an alpaca roaring past in his heart.
This old guy Dongguo Mu actually went to Long Aotian to inform him.
Fortunately, I didn't tell him anything, otherwise the situation would have fallen into Long Aotian's hands, and the consequences could be imagined.
"This is a false accusation." Su Wen adjusted his mood and said calmly.
"Brother, of course I know..." Long Aotian laughed: "Even if it's not a frame-up, so what?"
Long Aotian narrowed his eyes and said: "You are not from my tribe, and this is not your hometown. It is understandable that you want to leave here."
"..."
Su Wen was so choked by Long Aotian's straightforward words that he couldn't continue.
"Don't you want to get out of here?"
Long Aotian said another sentence.
"I thought so." Su Wen didn't hide it.
With Long Aotian's IQ, it would be impossible to believe him if he were told, "I am happy here and don't miss the world."
"That's right." Long Aotian's smile became even brighter, he patted Su Wen on the shoulder and said: "You want to leave, all human beings want to leave here, I know it well... Then Dongguo, follow me
Isn’t it nonsense to say this?”
"There's really nothing wrong with this logic..."
Su Wen nodded repeatedly.
But he knew better that Long Aotian could still easily communicate with him here, mainly because Dongguo Mu did not provide any solid evidence.
If there is evidence, Long Aotian should have a different face, and his words should be something like "I am so courteous and virtuous, and this is how you treat me."
"But..."
Long Aotian stopped smiling at this time: "My dear brother... you can think of some things, but don't really try to do them."
Long Aotian patted Su Wen's shoulder gently again.
"..."
Su Wen could naturally feel the threat expressed in Long Aotian's voice.
