This time, Ling Xiao didn't want to directly intervene in Huanlang's affairs at first. He always wanted them to reflect on themselves. They were no longer the kind of children who could blame them at will. Talking too much would only make them feel unhappy, but instead
It has no good effect.
Since she said that when they grow up, they should not take care of everything as children and let them think for themselves. So after she brought them back, she didn't seem to care about Huanlang's situation, and didn't even call them over.
Scold him once.
But she still kept an eye on their situation, and felt relieved when she saw them gathered together and began to recall to each other what happened not long ago.
This encounter was good for them. In Ling Xiao's opinion: as a human being, you must not be like Mr. Dongguo, who has good intentions but will end up being buried in the belly of a wolf. The reason why Mr. Dongguo escaped was
That's meeting a wise man.
If Huanlang and the others don't wake up, Mr. Dongguo will be eaten sooner or later. The reason why Mr. Dongguo said this is that Ling Xiao knows very well that people who want to flex their muscles in their official career will definitely not be the kind of pure-minded people.
.
That kind of person will do whatever they can to achieve their goals, which is why Huanlang and the others are obviously very smart, but they still have their weaknesses caught by those two people.
Ling Xiao also knew the reason. In many cases, whoever had the lower bottom line would achieve the goal, and they instigated Huanlang's children little by little, trying to get them away from home.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao didn't feel at ease when he went out. There were puppets following these children all the time. When he saw something was wrong, Ling Xiao rushed back, which completely eliminated the possibility of being plotted against them.
And just when Ling Xiao directly stopped Huanlang and the others, the people in another place swept away the leisurely mood before Huanlang and the others left, "Why are you so difficult to coax?"
"Don't worry, I'm about to be tempted. Good things are hard to get." The other person was a little worried. Over the past few days, they could see how excellent these little guys are. They were trained according to the Six Arts of the Gentleman.
people,
After these days of inquiring, I found out that they all knew how to read and write, and they all had special training. This is a rare thing, and you can tell at a glance that they have put a lot of effort into cultivating them.
I just don’t know why these children, in addition to having certain cultural qualities, also have good skills, both civil and military, and can cook and clean up debris.
This small team of people is even specially equipped with people who have good medical skills. It is really rare. The more you know about them, the more you want to catch them in your hands.
It's just that those young people should have received special training to make them feel less easy to fool. In order to coax Huanlang's approval, they had to rack their brains and think of new things. Gradually, they felt that there was not enough food in their stomachs, but they still couldn't let it go.
Huanlang and the others trusted him completely.
The most troublesome thing is that these children are all literate and even know the seal script. If they want to write a contract to plot against them, they can't hide it from one of them, which makes them want to leave someone behind.
It's a pity that the child is not easy to get rid of. They are a team accustomed to group activities, and the place where the two of them live belongs to each other's territory, so it is difficult to make plans.
The two of them could only work together slowly, but they felt that there was not enough time. The person who went out had been out for a few months, and they had stayed for a few months, and even the broken legs had grown almost the same.
The two people found that there was no excuse to stay any longer, but the other party was still a little tempted, but they couldn't be sure, which was why they were a little anxious.
In addition, they have not yet decided which Ming Lord they want to join. They cannot just listen to rumors. They must conduct on-site inspections to determine whether they are suitable. In many cases, the name is not worthy of the name.
They specially inspected several rebel leaders along the way to see what their follow-up situation would be like. They soon discovered that many of them were just the masters of fighting and killing, and had no short-term goals, let alone long-term goals and ideas.
This seems to be vigorous and has a lot of momentum, but in the end, it has no idea of becoming bigger and stronger, and is not willing to listen to the advice of sensible people, so it has no future.
They spent almost all their money and men in order to investigate, and they had no confidence to find the next master. Huanlang was the biggest trump card they could get, and they were eager to grab it.
It's just that they haven't really joined one camp and can't figure out what kind of power they can get. This also leads to the fact that when they deceive Huanlang and the others, it's all lies. It's not that they don't want to make clear the conditions to the other party, but they themselves don't.
Bottom, how to say?
After this period of acquaintance, they also knew that these children were very arrogant, and it would be bad if they got into trouble. Therefore, they planned to get some wine, let them sign a contract while drunk, and then take the people away.
The reason why they would rather offend Huanlang and the people behind them than to keep them in their hands is because they know that it will be much better if they have this small group of people in their hands.
Although they were very confident in front of Huanlang, during this period they knew very well that if Wenren had no trump card in the rebel army, no one would care. It would be good for them if this group of young soldiers could be subdued.
But this team of people is not easy to conquer. They may have never been out, but that doesn't mean that their family members are ignorant of everything. They can cultivate people with both civil and military skills. I'm afraid they are not ordinary people themselves.
This is also what the two of them are worried about. There are capable people behind the young man, and if he is not good enough, he may be defeated. This point must be paid special attention to.
Fortunately, I heard that capable people were out during this period, which led to those curious young people to go out to rescue people. But they should have received relevant education and not brought people back to their own village. What a pity!
It would be great if we could get to know the relatives of those children. We could continue to deceive them, and maybe some ignorant adults would let these children follow them.
In their eyes, prosperity and wealth are more important to them. As people who have received family education for many years, they have always thought about how to make the family more prosperous. Everything is their stepping stone.
After learning about Huanlang's situation, they were very interested in that person from Xiaozhuangzi. It would be great if they could copy Huanlang, but they knew they couldn't go.
Huanlang and the others did not let them appear in Xiaozhuangzi at all, saying that the family would not let outsiders in, which made them have to suspect that the village had some secrets.
Or maybe this is not an ordinary small villa, but a secret base of a big family, and these young people are the family's hidden trump card? But the two of them still felt something was wrong.
I once wanted to follow him secretly, but those children were all accustomed to walking on mountain roads and were extremely fast. They couldn't follow him secretly, so they worried about gain and loss for a while.
When they were about to pour wine into the children, they found that when the children came back they were not as enthusiastic as before, and they no longer rushed to do other things. Instead, they were asked to pack up and prepare to leave.
This discovery made them realize at once that the talented man in Zhuangzi had returned from a long absence and discovered a problem. This made the two of them feel chills on their backs, not knowing what the other party meant.
It was really over now. Although these little guys wanted to fly out, they had always respected this capable man in their hearts, so the capable man's return exposed all their previous deeds.
Hey! What should we do? Although the capable person didn't do anything, they knew what they had done. The other person might not know, and they didn't dare to stay at this moment any longer.
Children like Huanlang are not particularly disgusted with these two people because they have learned something from them and will not be fooled next time.
When they knew they were finally planning to leave, they did nothing to stop them. Even a small group of them sent them out, but they had absolutely no intention of following them.
The two of them left with a bit of annoyance, secretly glad that the capable man didn't kill them directly, or wanted to get rid of them secretly? But there was nothing they could do.
Finally, they turned around and one of them said: "Actually, we both know that we are a little greedy. Originally we just wanted to thank you for saving our lives, but that changed later."
When he said this, a bitter smile appeared on the man's face, "I'm sorry, we encountered many things along the way, and we don't have much money at hand, so we can't express our gratitude at all.
Later, I thought that after I found the Master with you, I could let you have a good fight and live up to this life, but I didn't expect that we would never have the opportunity to cooperate with you."
At this moment, they really felt that they had fallen short and had no chance to win people into their hands. What a pity! They had always thought that they were the best counselors before, but reality slapped them in the face and no one thought so.
They have to prove that they are the most powerful counselors, and joining a force will definitely allow them to show their abilities. If Huanlang and a few people are there, they will definitely perform well.
Huanlang and the others naturally understand the meaning. The other party wants them to join the other party's team, but can they go? No! A lot of things will happen after they go. If they go even though they know it's not good, wouldn't they be a fool?
But because Ling Xiao said that those two people had broadened their horizons, he did not intend to hold them accountable, so he did not fall out directly. He just said: "We are still too young and will never go out now. We have too many things."
I haven’t learned it yet.”
The most important thing is that there are many differences between them. After all, they are not familiar with each other. Even Huanlang and the others don't know what the other's trump card is, and they don't know what kind of family the other has.
Isn't the situation between them actually a kind of competition? Both parties have their own plans. Fortunately, the children did not agree directly after being tempted, nor did they talk about more things. In their hearts, they still had some thoughts.
alert.
If Huanlang and the others were real farm boys without Ling Xiao's guidance, they would have been told that they were attracted and followed them, and when they got there, they would have been branded as someone else's subordinates.
At that time, I could only follow, unless two people died before they could escape. If the deed of sale was signed, the owner might not be free even if he died, which would be terrible.
Fortunately, Huanlang and the others were literate, so they probably wouldn't have signed the contract soberly, but what if they were tricked into signing the contract? There have been cases in the past where people signed contracts in a daze when they were drunk.
When I woke up, it was too late. I felt aggrieved for doing things according to the contract. If I didn't do things according to the contract, I might be sued or even enforced. Ling Xiao had specially reminded the children of these things, which made them very nervous.
After Huanlang and the others became wise, they were basically in Zhuangzi, and they came into contact with relatively few people. No matter how bad they were, they were just selfish families. They were very good at what they did, but they couldn't stand up after meeting Ling Xiao.
This also resulted in Huanlang and the others seeing too little of the dark side, because most of the things they had experienced were on the bright side, so they naturally did not expect that anyone would do this.
This time Ling Xiao decided to talk about the dark parts. She didn't talk much about them before because most of the children like Huanlang came from single-parent families, and she wanted them to live happily. But when they grow up, it's time to take a look
The other side of the world.
Huanlang and the others thought carefully about Ling Xiao's words. Of course they would not sign a deed of betrayal, but it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be tricked into signing something bad. It was really too dangerous.
Ling Xiao went on to say: "Don't think that if you didn't sign the contract of betrayal, it would be fine if you followed them. You can see it yourself, right? The two of them have no money.
If you follow them, you will most likely become impoverished and will be embarrassed to come back. You must know that when they left, they thought that they would be prosperous, but in the end they were in vain. This will only make them dare not go home and force themselves to stay.
Outside."
After being awakened by Ling Xiao, they had to think more. There are some things that they would not understand if they were confused, but naturally they would not be confused, they knew it very well in their hearts.
If Ling Xiao hadn't come back in time, he might have been fooled, so after realizing that they would not follow each other on the road, they just wished them a good journey in a polite manner, without saying anything more.
The reason why they were so polite was that after they woke up and reviewed each other carefully, they were arrested by Ling Xiao for questioning. They were stunned by a series of questions.
These days, they have always thought that people with ability will be popular wherever they go. But Ling Xiao told them not to think that just because they have ability, they are powerful. There is never a shortage of powerful people in this world.
During the Warring States Period, General Wu Anjun Bai Qi of the Qin State was a famous general. He fought many battles, the most famous of which was the Battle of Changping, which was a very famous war.
Bai Qi led the Qin army and the Zhao army to fight in Changping. The Zhao army was originally led by the veteran general Lian Po. He felt bad and refused to fight. Zhao Kuo was replaced by another general.
This is because the king and nobles of Zhao State wanted to defeat Qin State, so Zhao Kuo had to launch an attack. This time the battle of Changping ended up killing many Zhao troops, and Bai Qi's name became even more famous.
Qin and Zhao had an incomprehensible hatred because of the Battle of Changping, and they fought several battles. Once, the King of Qin wanted to defeat the Zhao army again, so he sent Bai Qi to lead the army.
Bai Qi thought that leading the troops would be bad for the Qin army, because the Zhao army's sergeants hated Bai Qi and wanted revenge. Bai Qi knew that he could not go.
