Yu Xian paid the room fee, left the inn, and began to worry about what would happen next.
There are two ways to go now.
One is to completely follow the main line of the mission and try to copy Wu Qi’s success.
The other is self-reliant and trying to find a way out.
Yu Xian does not plan to consider the path of self-reliance for the time being. Even if he can get hidden mission rewards, there is a high possibility that he will go astray in the plot.
Ruthless people like Wu Qi are rare throughout the ages. If you don't rely on the power of the plot and rely solely on your own abilities, it is completely impossible to achieve success in the world.
Moreover, even if you follow the main mission line, it is not easy to actually do it.
Yu Xian was not a military strategist, and he was not very familiar with Wu Qi's past.
When he first arrived in Qufu City, even if he wanted to seek apprenticeship with a military strategist, he could not find a way.
Yu Xian pondered while walking along the flow of people.
"I don't know who Wu Qi found to be his disciple in history. Now, I'm still a little troubled, but I can still hold on for a few days."
Yu Xian walked on the street for half a day, not trying to strike up a conversation with anyone, but just listening to what passers-by said along the way.
By noon, I still had no useful information.
Yu Xian had no choice but to find a wine shop and have something to eat.
After randomly ordering a few dishes, Yu Xian was about to ask the all-powerful waiter about something when he heard a drinker at the next table say to his friend enthusiastically, "Have you heard? Dr. Zeng Shen Zeng expelled a disciple from the master yesterday.
The door is open."
Another person was a little surprised when he heard this, "Is there such a thing? Which disciple is so ignorant and offends him?"
Then he said regretfully, "Doctor Zeng is now trusted by the Lord. It is a very popular time. If he hates Dr. Zeng, how can he find a way out of the Lu Kingdom?"
The person who spoke before said with a smile, "I heard from the disciples next to Dr. Zeng that he was a guy who fled from the Wei Kingdom. The man named Wu Qi killed his enemy, and then ran away without caring about his mother. He even bit him.
I swore an oath to make great achievements before returning to the Wei Kingdom."
After hearing this, another person was also a little angry, "That's how it is! Our country of Lu respects Confucianism and attaches great importance to benevolence and filial piety. Even if such a person does not offend Dr. Zeng, he will find it difficult to move forward in the country of Lu."
Yu Xian listened, his heart sinking slightly.
Within one meal, Zeng Shen expelled a disciple and was mentioned many times.
This era is still relatively closed.
Only a handful of wealthy merchants and scholar-bureaucrats who lobbied the princes could travel around.
A new news for outsiders spread all over the capital of Lu in less than a day.
Although he tried his best to find out about several military strategists who were offering apprenticeships, he was quickly turned away after his name was given.
Yu Xian, an abandoned Confucian disciple, almost became a laughing stock in the capital. There was an unfriendly atmosphere towards him everywhere.
Day by day passes.
Although Yu Xian was unyielding, after he visited all the military strategists he had inquired about and was rejected, Yu Xian's heart suddenly cooled down.
Yu Xian carefully checked the names he had written down one by one, for fear of making any omissions.
However, after repeated comparisons, he had to admit that he had visited all the military strategists in the entire capital of Lu who were qualified to teach the art of war.
And the result, without exception, was rejection!
Yu Xian's face looked extremely ugly.
If you can't find the person who triggered the follow-up mission, then how can you practice the art of war?!
Once the main line of the mission is cut off, how can I rely on myself to conquer the world?
Moreover, it has been more than a month since Zeng Shen was expelled from the school. Wu Qi not only gained nothing, but also spent all the last copper coins he had.
Yu Xian had no choice but to let go of his pride and rely on his strength to join a small family as a disciple.
However, as an abandoned disciple of Confucianism, Yu Xian could only be the lowest disciple in a small family.
He drew swords and fought every day, but he could barely get enough to eat.
It is not difficult for Yu Xian to imagine that the real Wu Qi in history may have had the same experience.
In an environment of extreme disapproval, he struggled desperately and grew up hard and vigorously.
In this way, the days flew by and a full year passed.
…
On this day, Yu Xian returned from the sword fight, thrust the bloody sword in front of Wu Qi's wandering soul, and said calmly.
"Old Wu, let's have a chat."
Although Wu Qi's ghost did not answer, he glanced over.
Yu Xian smiled.
He sat cross-legged and looked calmly at the long sword in front of him.
"Old Wu, I really admire you. Even though I knew that what those people said had nothing to do with me, Yu Xian, I was still almost knocked down by the accusations made by thousands of people. That feeling that no one in the world agrees with, I'm afraid
It’s more tiring than anything else.”
"To move forward with shame, you really need to be braver than ordinary people. Speaking of which, it's really not easy for you."
Yu Xian said and glanced at Wu Qi Ghost.
What appeared on Wu Qi's ghost face was only the numbness after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.
Yu Xian smiled slightly, his face showing joy from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm a little stupid. I just figured out how to break the situation today. Even if you are smarter than me, you still suffered a lot, right?"
"Oh?" Wu Qi's ghost, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and asked calmly, "The entire Lu Kingdom's military is hostile to you, how do you plan to break the situation?"
A smile bloomed on Yu Xian's face.
"Oh, you have something interesting too."
He looked at Wu Qi's ghost with great interest.
However, the ghost did not give any further response, which made Yu Xian a little disappointed.
Yu Xian answered Wu Qi's ghost's question, "After I had a sword fight with someone today, on the way back, I suddenly heard a name. This made me suddenly realize that not only orthodox military strategists teach the art of war!"
The ghost of Wu Qi looked straight at Yu Xian, waiting for his answer.
"That name is Mo Zhai, and he is a giant of the Mo sect. Now the Mo sect is entering the Lu country in a big way. Then I suddenly thought of one thing. The old gentleman also rebelled against Confucianism, and the Mo sect also has orthodox military art professors.
!”
Mo Zhai was originally a disciple of Confucianism, but later he rebelled against Confucianism because of huge differences between his pragmatic thoughts and Confucianism.
Because I was born in Confucianism, I have full and mature thinking about Confucianism.
Mo Zhai extremely hated many of the profound theories of Confucianism, and he continued to criticize them both verbally and in writing. Many of his arguments could be said to be sharply pointed.
With such a historical background, Yu Xian can completely break the current predicament and join the Mo family without discrimination!
After Yu Xian finished speaking, he looked at Wu Qi Ghost without blinking.
Whether joining the Momen is a way to survive depends on Wu Qi's reaction.
When Wu Qi's ghost heard the word "Mo Di", his eyes slowly gained a breath of life, and then nodded slightly, "Yes. I only thought of this path after suffering for a year and a half. You are better than me at the beginning."
Some."
Yu Xian didn't feel proud at all after hearing this.
He sighed and said, "The victor and the defeated soldiers have unexpected family affairs. It is a man who is shy and endures shame. You admire my cunning, but I admire your perseverance. One and a half years..., I don't dare to think about it."
Yu Xian drew his sword, shook his head and went out.
