Ji Yanran's building is built of white stone and is nestled among flowers, grass and trees. It has an ancient and elegant form, like a Penglai pavilion in a fairyland, where beautiful immortal fairies live.
Walking up the stone steps to the stairs, there is an exquisite entrance hall for guests to place their clothes and weapons. Two beautiful maids have been waiting here, serving them attentively.
Tan Bang leaned into Xiang Shaolong's ear and said, "The talented girl Ji doesn't like someone bringing a sword into her palace."
Xiang Shaolong nodded to express his understanding. He secretly thought that this talented girl was so arrogant. Even though she knew that a distinguished guest like Lord Xinling was coming, she was still lying down. The maid did not dare to wake her up, and no one was allowed to enter the building with swords.
. But when I thought about it, I felt that this was a good thing, because if I asked myself, I had to admit that men are cheap. The more difficult it is to get a woman, the more precious she is. At this moment, even he is eager to see how beautiful she is.
How gorgeous it is.
Those two pretty maids were particularly fond of Xiang Shaolong, and they served him considerately, carefully wiping the dust from his clothes and wiping his face with wet wipes.
After everything was settled, the four of them entered the hall.
Just as he entered the door, a loud and crisp voice shouted beside Xiang Shaolong: "The distinguished guest is here, the distinguished guest is here."
Xiang Shaolong was frightened and startled. He followed the sound and couldn't help laughing. It turned out to be a talking parrot standing on a shelf.
The two beautiful maids obviously doted on it very much. They smiled coquettishly and fed the sensible beast with grain.
Xiang Shaolong took a look around.
This hall is elegantly and gracefully decorated. The most distinctive feature is that there are no floor mats, instead there are several groups of square and low couches. The hall is filled with beautiful potted plants, as if part of the garden outside has been brought in.
On one of the large walls hangs a giant silk painting of a lady, lightly painted with thin colors, elegant and elegant, which appropriately reflects the talent and temperament of the hostess.
At this time, there were three groups of people sitting on the four groups of couches in the hall, each group ranging from two to six people. More than ten people were talking in low voices, as if they were afraid of waking the hostess from her nap.
Lord Xinling took the lead and walked into the hall. Immediately, more than half of the people stood up and saluted the second-largest man in Wei State. Others seemed to have met Lord Xinling for the first time. Only then did they know who he was and they were busy.
Stand up and greet.
Xiang Shaolong noticed several of them at a glance.
Especially the group of four people on the left by the window. Three of them were dressed as warriors and had extraordinary bearings. But what caught his attention most was their bravery. One of them, in particular, was a burly man who looked as tall as a mountain.
Xiang Shaolong is a little taller, with extremely strong hands and feet. He has a long shawl and a silver forehead band. He has a thick face, broad shoulders, eyes like copper bells, and a sinister and cunning look. He has a majestic appearance and a whole body.
Exuding an evil and frightening charm.
The other two warriors beside him were both tyrannical and fierce men, but when they stood next to him, they immediately competed with each other. What was even more strange was that the hands of the three of them all had marks burned by fire.
Another person who attracted him was the group of six figures on the right dressed as scribes. One of them was tall and tall, with a strange appearance and deep eyes, shining with the light of a wise man. He looked like a fairy.
There are only two people in the last group. The shorter one has an ordinary appearance. Judging from his clothes, it can be seen that he is not from Wei. I just don’t know where he is from. But he is here to meet Ji Yanran, so he is definitely a person of some status.
Already.
Lord Xinling first greeted the group of six people on the right, and said to the strange-looking man: "We just mentioned Mr. Zou, and we didn't expect to see you right away." He waved to Xiang Shaolong and said, "Shaolong, I've seen you here.
Mr. Zou Yan, who is proficient in the art of sensing gods and humans."
Xiang Shaolong thought that this was the contemporary master of metaphysics who was famous for his "Eternal Theory of Five Virtues". Just as he was about to step forward to greet him, a deep and powerful voice from the left came: "Master Wuji, may I ask this question?"
Is it Brother Xiang Shaolong, the imperial swordsman from the Kingdom of Zhao?"
Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment, and following the sound, he saw that the speaker was none other than the warrior who was like a demon king.
Lord Xinling obviously didn't recognize this person, so he said in surprise: "This strong man."
The Wei man who seemed to be the one who introduced the three warriors to see Ji Yanran stepped forward and said respectfully: "Feng Zhi, a guest of Lord Longyang's family, is here to see the young master. This is Mr. Wei Mou, who is famous for his wisdom and bravery in Qi. On the right
The strong man on the left is called Ning Chong, and the one on the left is Zheng Le. They are both famous warriors in Qi State and Mr. Wei's personal bodyguards."
Lord Xinling and Xiang Shaolong were both shocked. They didn't expect that this murderous man would be so secretive and openly chased him to Daliang. He had bad intentions. Apparently, Lord Longyang was taking care of him, and King Wei was backing him up. No wonder he was like this.
So overbearing.
When Xiang Shaolong felt a severe headache, Wei Mou strode forward, saluted Lord Xinling, moved in front of Xiang Shaolong, stretched out his hand and said, "I've heard for a long time that Brother Xiang is excellent in swordsmanship. If I have the opportunity, I must learn from him."
.”
Xiang Shaolong knew that he was going to compete with him, so he had no choice but to reach out and shake hands with him.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Wei Mou's mouth, and he squeezed Xiang Shaolong's hand hard. It was like an iron hoop was locking his hand, and it was still tightening.
Xiang Shaolong was stunned in his heart. Although he could barely hold it with his strength, he was still in pain that was heart-breaking and bone-breaking. He knew that the opponent's hand strength was actually better than his own.
Fortunately, he had extraordinary endurance and did not make a fool of himself on the spot. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, has he experienced a fire disaster recently? Why are there burn marks on both hands?"
Crazy anger flashed in Xiao Wei Mou's eyes, he strengthened his grip, and said coldly: "It's just a boring trick played by some gangsters, it's nothing, and those who mess with these gadgets can only succeed for a while, and sooner or later Xiao will tear him apart."
into pieces."
Even Zou Yan and others could clearly feel the strong smell of gunpowder, knowing that something unpleasant must have happened between the two of them.
Xiang Shaolong endured his astonishing strength.
Xiao Wei Mou originally wanted to crush his finger bones on the spot and teach him not to hold a sword again. But after trying Xiang Shaolong's strength, he knew that such an ideal effect would not be possible. He sneered, let go of his hand, and retreated.
go back.
His two men stared at Xiang Shaolong with deep hatred, which showed that the wildfire burned them quite miserably.
Lord Xinling glanced at Xiang Shaolong and introduced him to the Wei people next to Zou Yan. They were all celebrities and high officials in the Wei state. It can be seen that Zou Yan was very popular with the Wei people.
After the introduction, Mr. Xinling's eyes fell on the remaining Wei people in the group, and he smiled and said: "This is the first time that I meet Mr. Zhang Fengchang here." Looking at the middle-aged man next to him, except for a pair of eyes, they are quite similar.
Besides the elves, an ordinary-looking human said: "This is."
Zhang Fengchang smiled and said: "This is Mr. Han Fei from South Korea. I am taking advantage of him this time because after Miss Ji read Mr. Han's "Speaking of Difficulties", she was full of praises and asked people to send a message to see him. So
Chief Feng has no choice but to bring Young Master Han here to meet the young lady as his companion."
Lord Xinling and others were all moved. They didn't expect to meet this man who was a great master of Legalism and had great literary talent. But it was a bit unpleasant because he didn't expect that this person's appearance was so inconspicuous.
This Han Feixian, who has been passed down through the ages, is not good at social communication. He smiled awkwardly and bowed slightly to say hello.
The two beautiful maids hurriedly invited Lord Xinling to sit down on a set of low couches opposite Han Fei and Han Fei.
At this time, only a couch under the giant painting of a lady was empty, which must have been the seat of Ji Cainnv.
Xiang Shaolong leaned on the couch like the others, eating and drinking the snacks and tea served by the maid, but his heart was in chaos.
Once Xiao Wei Mou arrived, the situation became much more complicated.
In addition, this man's physical strength is astonishing, and his body is as solid as a copper wall. Although he is conceited, he may not be his opponent. If he joins forces with Lord Longyang, a local snake, and Lord Xinling harbors evil intentions against him, this trip will be very unlucky.
.
While thinking about it, I heard Lord Xinling ask Han Feizi: "Master Han comes to our country this time. What do you have to do? Please tell me if there is anything Wuji can help you with?"
Han Fei said: "Hey, this time, Han Fei is here to borrow food from your country on the order of my king."
Xiang Shaolong was surprised. He didn't expect that Han Fei was stammering, not fluent, and unable to express his meaning. He didn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity to explain the pros and cons, and pointed out why Wei had to lend food to South Korea.
As expected, Lord Xinling frowned and said, "I see, how much grain does your country need to borrow?"
Han Fei said coldly: "Ten thousand stones" without any other words.
Lord Xinling was of course unmoved, smiled slightly, and said no more.
Zou Yan raised his voice and said: "The most prosperous must decline, the worst must prosper, and the five virtues alternate. The current severe drought in South Korea has actually been foreshadowed for a long time. Five years ago, Zou saw a comet falling into South Korea and concluded that there would be a natural disaster**. Today
The result is not satisfactory."
Han Feizi frowned, showing his displeasure and disbelief in Zou Yan's words, but other people around Zou Yan echoed his words.
Opposite me, Xiao Wei Mou, who is from the same Qi Dynasty as Zou Yan, laughed and said: "Mr. Zou knows the Tao of Heaven. Today, the Seven Kingdoms are ruling the roost. Can you please explain in detail where the destiny of heaven lies, so as to clear the air?"
Zou Yan smiled slightly and was about to answer when there was a sound of a ring. A stunning beauty, supported by four maids, walked into the hall from the inside.
Xiang Shaolong looked quickly, his mind was shocked, and he felt an amazing shock.
I saw a beautiful woman with creamy skin and bright face, like a fairy descending from the earth. Surrounded by those pretty maids, she walked towards her like a star holding the moon. Everyone looked forward to it. Everyone saw that the gods were snatching their souls away from her.
Flying outside.
Her hair is combed in a pony bun, which is high and sideways. Together with her slender and graceful figure, slender waist, beautiful jade necklace, and white skin, she is even more charming and radiant.
The eyes are deep and black, and the watery light shines when they look around. No wonder the beauty is so famous, it is really moving.
Wearing a long gown of blue and white on a white ground, her light and graceful, erratic and fairy-like steps, with wide, wide sleeves that open and close to cover up, further accentuate her extremely beautiful appearance.
The external beauty of bright teeth and the inner beauty of radiant elegance combine to form a picture of beauty. Xiang Shaolong is as if he has entered a fairyland, but he still knows what the world is like.
Wu Tingfang's beauty is also inferior to her in terms of style, which shows how attractive she is.
Until Ji Yanran leaned against the high cushions of the middle couch with her graceful posture and leisurely attitude, her charming charm was even more incredible.
Her charming posture, half sitting and half lying down, was already extremely touching. What's more, when she put her legs up on the couch, a section of her flawless, elastic and slender feet was exposed under her robe, which made Xiang Shao
Long just wanted to climb onto the couch and press her under him so that he could explore her wonderful body and smell her orchid-like body fragrance.
After Ji Yanran sat down, she leaned back with her beautiful face and said with a sweet smile: "Yanran is sleepy, everyone has been waiting for a long time."
Xiang Shaolong came to his senses and looked at everyone. He saw that no matter whether it was Lord Xinling, Zou Yan, Han Fei or Xiao Wei Mou, they all had expressions of enlightenment and had even less self-control than himself.
While everyone was busy expressing that it was irrelevant, Ji Yanran's sparkling, jewel-like black eyes drifted to Xiang Shaolong, spun around, then drifted to Wei Mou's seat, and looked at everyone deeply.
Finally, he looked at Han Fei, with a flash of joy, and said happily: "Is this Mr. Han Fei?"
Both Xiang Shaolong and Wei Mou were greatly disappointed. Ji Yanran was obviously more interested in Han Fei than them.
Han Fei's face turned red and he said nervously: "This is Han Fei."
Ji Yanran's pretty eyes lit up, and she said happily: "I have read the master's masterpiece, it is indeed unprecedented, and Yanran is so impressed that she fell in admiration."
Xiang Shaolong was greatly bored. Han Fei was unattractive in appearance, but Ji Yanran looked at him differently. Obviously, this woman paid more attention to the inner connotation of a person. When it comes to writing, Shu Shijian, compared to Han Fei, she was like
There is a difference between a kindergarten student and a Nobel Prize winner. But there is also a feeling of relief, because now he can't protect himself. No matter how attractive Ji Yanran is, he has to put away his gentleman's jealousy to avoid being unable to cope with it.
Han Fei was praised by the beauty, and he didn't know what to do. He didn't even know where to put his hands.
At this time, Ji Yanran seemed to have only Han Fei in her eyes, and said softly: "Sir, based on the theory of governing the country by combining 'law', 'skill', and 'power', he proposed that 'when the world changes, things will change, and when things change, we must change the law.'"
It really hits the mark and makes people think deeply.”
Han Fei was even more confused and couldn't help but nod, which made people feel sorry for him.
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that if he transplanted his knowledge into his mind, he might be able to kiss Xiang Ze tonight.
Zou Yan let out a long laugh, attracting Ji Yanran and everyone's attention, and then he confidently said: "Master Han's knowledge will definitely be reused by your king. Why is it that your country has never seen any improvement in its struggle for world supremacy?
?”
Xiang Shaolong cursed in his heart that Zou Yan went too far in exposing Han Fei's scars so sharply.
Han Fei had a look of indignation on his face, but he was even more speechless.
Ji Yanran was obviously a talented person who loved Han Fei, so he came to his rescue and said: "If you have a wise man, you must also have a wise master. Shang Yang, a member of the Wei Dynasty, also achieved nothing in Wei. But within a few years of the Qin Dynasty, he had achieved remarkable results. Mr. Zou believes that
Is Yanran right?"
Xiang Shaolong praised in his heart, this woman is indeed extraordinary. Just when he thought that Zou Yan had nothing to say, Zou Yan smiled slightly and said: "Of course what the lady said is very reasonable, but the focus is still on human affairs. Who knows
There is also the way of heaven above human affairs. Shang Yang only achieves things according to the situation and cannot escape the control of the flow of the five virtues. Only those who understand the principles of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can grasp the operation of the way of heaven."
Han Fei snorted coldly and spoke more fluently: "Mr. Zou's words are illusory, so should we just sit back and obey fate and do nothing?"
These few words were reasonable and reasonable, but when he stammered them out, they were not convincing enough.
Zou Yan was an eloquent person and laughed and said: "Of course not. As long as we can grasp the way of heaven, we can predict personnel affairs and know the goal and direction of our efforts. For example, digging a well. Only by knowing the location of the water source can we avoid wasting our efforts."
Han Fei was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't find the words to refute, or didn't know how to express it. Xiang Shaolong felt sympathy for him and wanted to find paper and pen to let him express his views.
Applause rang out, and it turned out to be Xiao Wei Mou applauding in agreement.
Ji Yanran looked at Wei Mou, frowned and said, "This is."
Xiao Wei Mou puffed out his chest, like a wild beast seeking a mate, and responded loudly: "I am Qi Guochao Wei Mou, have you heard of me?"
Ji Yanran suddenly said: "It turns out that Mr. Wei is the one who advocates learning from animals. If humans were no different from animals, wouldn't the world immediately be in chaos?"
When Xiao Wei Mou got this opportunity to show his knowledge to this beauty, he was willing to let it pass and said with a smile: "Miss, who has lived in the city for a long time, of course she will not understand the world of animals. Xiao has been studying nature as his teacher for many years, observing birds.
In life, we came to the conclusion that only by following nature can we not betray God, and we can enjoy the gift of life under the greater laws of nature: If we force ourselves to suppress ourselves, it will only be useless and harmful, and it will make people become hypocritical and inconsistent internally and externally.
only."
Ji Yanran looked at him deeply with a thoughtful expression on her face. Xiang Shaolong was upset. This beauty was obviously full of curiosity about things and could easily be attracted by novel theories. If Wei Mou got her, even he would be the same.
Feeling sad and worthless, he couldn't help but said: "How can humans and animals be the same? Even though different animals have different lifestyles."
Xiao Wei Mou sneered: "The lifestyle can be different, but the nature will not be different."
How could Xiang Shaolong be polite to him? He glared at him and said with a smile: "The reason why humans and animals are different is that they are not driven by instinct and desires; they can even give up their precious lives for greater ideals. Animals stand on all fours.
, but we can stand up, and because we don’t have to walk, our hands become more delicate and dexterous, and we can make this house and all the supplies. Do animals have this ability?”
Wei Mouxian once conducted some research on this issue and mocked: "What you are talking about is only the ability, not the essence. Birds can fly, can people fly? Fish can live under the water, and people can live under the water.
Life?"
Xiang Shaolong is by no means a theorist, but at this moment he is riding a tiger and insists on saying: "What I am talking about is exactly the essence. Because the structure of the brain of human beings is different from that of animals, they can think and reflect. In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, they also need
Spiritual life; but animals do everything to survive. They sleep when they are full and mate when the time comes. Animals are at a loss and passive in nature, but humans can fight against nature and overcome nature. This is because humans have different natures.
Knowing how to progress and develop makes them superior to beasts."
Xiang Shaolong's theory, which was not very brilliant, was known to everyone in the 21st century, but to people of this era, it was very novel, making Ji Yanran and others immediately look at him with admiration.
Xiao Wei Mou obviously had not thought about this problem, and said angrily: "What's the difference? I've seen all the brains of humans and beasts, and they're not just bones and meat sauce."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "You have just mentioned the biggest difference between humans and animals. Will animals study the difference between their brains and human brains?"
Xiao Wei Mou was speechless for a moment, his eyes flashed fiercely, wishing to tear Xiang Shaolong apart.
Although Zou Yan disagreed with the theory that Wei Mou people should learn to indulge like animals. But since they were all from the same country, he also wanted to teach Xiang Shaolong to be embarrassed in front of Ji Yanran. He said nitpickingly: "Brother Xiang just said
The difference between humans and animals is that we can stand up. So how can we explain that orangutans and apes can stand up and walk?"
Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would never be able to explain to them what the theory of evolution is. Fortunately, an idea flashed through his mind and he said: "U differences are still the structure of the brain." He touched his forehead and said: "No apes have foreheads like ours.
, so their attention can only be focused on the present moment and will not think about tomorrow, but we can arrange and plan for tomorrow, or even for one year or ten years from now."
In fact, Xiang Shaolong's ideas and rhetoric are quite messy, but everyone knows that orangutans do not have foreheads, so they all think he has a point.
Ji Yanran clapped her hands and smiled sweetly: "It's really wonderful. I haven't had such an interesting debate here for a long time."
Her beautiful eyes drifted towards Xiang Shaolong, and she said with a sweet smile: "Sir, I forgive Yanran for not knowing who you are yet."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment, complaining in his heart. He couldn't help but make some nonsense, he must not make her fall in love with him.
