Lu Yan went all the way east out of Hangu Pass, passed through the former Korean area ruled by the Chu State, and then entered the territory of the Qi State.
To tell a joke, Koreans lived better under the rule of Chu than during the previous Korean rule.
When Lu Yan saw this scene, he had mixed emotions. No wonder no one from Qin State was willing to go when it tried to recruit Korean people. The Chu State, the murderer of the country, treated him so well.
Don't mention the national consciousness of the people in South Korea. In the roughly 170 years since the founding of South Korea, there have been basically no highlight moments. It was bullied by Wei, Chu, Qi, and Qin.
Bullying, for a country like this to try to unite the hearts of the common people is just like joking.
Thinking again about how bad the situation in South Korea was during the reign of Han Wangan, it is not difficult to understand the current situation.
As the beginning of the downfall of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, South Korea has completed a very important historical mission. It has made people realize that the collapse of the country does not mean that the sky will fall, and life can still go on. This is undoubtedly very beneficial to the unification of the Qin State.
Now that the world is on truce, all countries are recuperating, and spring has just passed. It can be seen that various commercial flows in the world are slowly returning to prosperity, and all walks of life are quickly making up for the losses caused by the previous war.
Qi State has pursued this national policy of not going to war for about 40 years. Just after a war like this is fought, when everyone is busy restoring industry and restoring national strength, this is also the time when Qi people make the most money.
After all, you were at war before, but I didn’t have any. Do you want to come and buy supplies?
Therefore, Qi State is really bustling at this time, and a large number of foreign merchants can be seen in all major cities in Qi State.
"Sir, this is indeed the most prosperous country. People here smile much more than other countries." Returning to Qi State again, Ju Shuang also sighed with emotion.
"How should I put it? Qi State seems to have completely forgotten that there is still war in the world. Long-term peace has certainly made this place very prosperous, but in such a country, it is difficult for people to have fighting spirit."
Lu Yan didn't know how to evaluate King Qi's national policy. At least it would definitely be beneficial to the subsequent unification of Qin. There was no need to worry about other things.
"Lu Yan!"
A call mixed with internal energy from the crowd reached directly to Lu Yan's ears. He subconsciously looked for the whereabouts of this internal energy, and was surprised when he saw the person coming.
"Yan Lu!"
Ju Shuang also smiled and said, "Mr. Yan Lu."
Yan Lu was dressed in light-colored Confucian clothes, with an indifferent smile on his face. He was so indifferent, passing through things without realizing it, and his sharp edge was hidden. He walked lightly in front of Lu Yan and said, "Since I said goodbye to Taoism, I have never thought about it."
It’s quite quick to say goodbye.”
Good guy!
Lu Yan is just a good guy.
This guy has already reached the Dacheng Realm. With such a temperament that can almost make him feel delusional, he is definitely at the Dacheng Realm. You must know that Yan Lu is still younger than himself.
Yan Lu seemed to also see Lu Yan's psychological activities, and said nonchalantly: "Haha, it's all thanks to you. "On Life in the World" has given me a lot of inspiration."
Lu Yan couldn't help but wink, "No wonder, it turned out to be my fault."
Yan Lu came close to him, touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, you can actually take the initiative to come back and ask the teacher to give you a crown ceremony. Why don't I believe it? Did you meet a girl you like and go back in a hurry to get married?
?Um?"
Lu Yan's expression did not change, and he explained seriously: "What are you talking about? The world is uncertain, so why should we take care of our family? I took advantage of the rare opportunity for the princes to calm down and came back to take a look. There will be no such opportunity in the future. Think about it.
I think, after the publication of "On Life in the World," maybe my expulsion from Confucianism was an understatement."
When Yan Lu heard him talking about "On Life in the World", his expression became serious, "I see. If such a day comes, I will not stand idly by."
Seeing that he actually believed it, Lu Yan could only show an awkward but polite smile, "Haha, no matter what he did to do these unhappy things, maybe they won't be so serious in the future. Where is the teacher? He still lives there.
In the bamboo forest?”
"Uncle Master, when he heard that you were coming back, he probably went to argue with Master again."
"Yes, these two old people are really energetic. I really want to see Fu Nian's expression when facing these two mischievous elders."
"It's very interesting. I've seen it many times."
"Hahaha……"
The two men walked side by side, talking and laughing. Ju Shuang led the horse and was one step behind them. Pedestrians along the way turned back frequently.
"It's really strange that such a beauty is holding the horse from behind, but the two men are so close..."
The trio soon entered the territory of Little Saint Xian Manor.
"Hello, Second Senior Brother." "Hello."
"Second senior brother." "Yeah."
Many Confucian disciples passing by along the way saluted Yan Lu, and it was obvious that they all respected Yan Lu sincerely.
"Your popularity is still so high."
"If you hadn't invented all kinds of famous quotes that trouble people, I think they would respect you."
"Yeah~"
"Well, with your various words of encouragement and aphorisms, coupled with Senior Brother Fu Nian's meticulous example, you will be greeted cordially by the students every day."
Yan Lu led the two of them to a house and stopped, inviting each other with his hands, "Here we are, this place is prepared for you. You can clean up after yourselves. After bathing and changing clothes, wait until Master and Uncle Master meet for the 336th meeting.
When the game is over, I will come and call you. Then, I will leave first."
Ju Shuang looked at the familiar Confucian furnishings in his memory, threw the salute into the back room, and said as he walked: "It feels like nothing has changed. Mr. Yan Lu is still so interesting."
"Oh, he has been quite interesting since he was a child."
"Young master, you are only two years older than him. Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to take care of it. Although I don't know if Master Xun will see me, I still need to bathe and change clothes."
"Hey, I just went to see the teacher in the dust, how sincere it is! It's so unnecessary, haha~" Lu Yan complained casually, yawned, and walked into his room.
But in Meng Si's residence, Fu Nian was sitting upright on his knees, his eyes like a pool of stagnant water.
In the 336th game of chess between Meng Si and Xunzi, the two men had already played more than 1,500 hands, and there was still no sign of victory or defeat.
"Really, what's the matter with you letting me win a game beautifully before my disciple came to see me today?"
Xunzi spoke quickly and took a "snap" step with his hands, and his movements were not slow.
"Huh, if you can't do it, just beg for mercy. This shameless skill is still so profound. I tell you, don't even think about it."
Meng Si also showed no signs of weakness and took one step with a "snap".
Fu Nian just stared at the two of them, "pop", "pop", "ta", "ta", with countless comments in between. It was only thanks to him that he could watch them seriously for so long.
Yan Lu walked in and saw this tit-for-tat situation, "Um, senior brother?"
"Hush, be quiet."
"To what extent?"
"One thousand five hundred and eighty-nine moves."
"Um, okay then I-"
Fu Nian interrupted Yan Lu and stood up immediately, "Sit down and you read it for me. I have to check the students' homework."
After saying that, he didn't give Yan Lu any chance to speak anymore and walked out with a serious face.
Yan Lu turned his head mechanically——
Meng Si happened to ask, "Fu Nian, how many times have I fought this guy?"
