Physics, chemistry, Chinese, English, etc. are not very useful.
After nine years of compulsory education in the previous life, in the end, I still had to sell my body to make a living.
desolate.
Yu Xian reluctantly decided to continue his life of fighting and killing.
When Yu Xian entered the city of Pu, he went around asking if there was any family in need of followers.
Unexpectedly, after walking around the city for a long time with his sword in hand, Yu Xian unexpectedly learned some news.
There is a caravan in the city and is recruiting escorts to go to Anyi.
Yu Xian was a little surprised.
It was so smooth sailing?
After asking around carefully, Yu Xian was a little confused.
In addition to going to Wei for trade, this caravan also escorted a very important person.
That is the only remaining old man in the Confucian sect, Bu Zixia.
The awesomeness of Bu Zixia can be expressed in just one sentence.
He is the only one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius" who is still alive today, and the true first generation disciple of Confucius.
What is the concept of a direct disciple of Confucius?
The Analects, a Confucian classic, records the words and deeds of Confucius, but it was also compiled jointly by Confucius's disciples.
There are also personal belongings of the disciples hidden inside.
As one of the ten philosophers of Confucius, Zixia has the most direct right to interpret the Analects.
Bu Zixia established the Xihe School and taught many disciples. Some even regarded him as a saint.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Biao snitched to the court to slander Liu Yan. He used the saying "Zixia doubted the saint in Xihe" to show that the Yizhou people had regarded Liu Yan as the emperor.
This old man is forty-four years younger than Confucius, and is now almost a hundred years old.
With such a body, it is indeed not an easy task to safely escort him to Anyi.
The person responsible for escorting Bu Zixia was Cheng Ming, the envoy of Ji Si.
When he came from Wei, he was still relaxed and felt that this errand was not difficult.
Now Wei Zi, Zhao Zi, and Han Zi are in charge of the huge Jin State, and even Qi State does not dare to offend easily.
Who would have thought that after meeting Bu Zixia, the envoy discovered the biggest trouble.
This guy is really too old and he is an ancestor who cannot be messed with.
Originally, he thought that he would be polite to the Confucian people, and if they had any hesitation, he would quickly push the matter away.
Who would have thought that as soon as those guys from the Confucian sect heard that Wei Zi valued Confucianism and wanted to become Bu Zixia's disciple, they packed the old man up and put him in the car without saying a word.
Cheng Ming was unlucky and had no choice but to take the old man back to Anyi.
Now that the Confucian sect has driven out the Mohists, and there are hundreds of responses in the state of Lu, the road is relatively safe.
But after leaving Weiguo, the envoy began to panic.
Because the descendants of Robber Zhi still roam the borders of the three kingdoms of Song, Lu, and Wei, these guys are all fearless masters. If the old man makes a mistake, Ji Si will have to chop off his head.
So the official Cheng Ming had to stay in Chengpu for the time being.
After staying in Weiguo for a while, Cheng Ming had another idea.
The geographical location of Weiguo is particularly good. It is located between several major countries. Although it is not conducive to defense, it is very suitable for trade.
Therefore, there are many caravans coming and going to various places.
These wealthy merchants have inextricably linked relationships with rogue bandits everywhere, enough to ensure safety along the way.
So Cheng Ming decided to follow the caravan.
Logically speaking, the person Cheng Ming should turn to for help should be the Duanmu family.
Because Zigong and Zixia are both Confucian philosophers and can be regarded as family friends of the Duanmu family, it is not difficult to ask them to help.
As the top wealthy businessmen of the Wei Kingdom, the Duanmu family also has enough strength to protect them from crossing the Wei Kingdom safely.
Decades ago, the Duanmu family "married four horses and four horses together, tied up silk coins, and used them to hire princes. Wherever they came, the kings of the country all divided their courts to resist the courtesy."
What's more, in addition to being rich, Zigong also served as the prime minister of Wei State, so official affairs could be carried out smoothly.
However, Duanmu's family is in Liyi, and although it is close to Chengpu, it is still some distance away.
So Cheng Ming planned to recruit some people first, follow Lu, a wealthy businessman from Chengpu, to Liyi first, and then ask Zigong's family to help with the rest of the trip.
When Yu Xian heard about this, he felt a little sore.
No matter which angle you look at it, joining Cheng Ming is definitely a good path.
Cheng Ming himself is Ji Si's subordinate, and through Cheng Ming's connection, he can join Ji Si's disciples as early as possible.
And judging from the situation, the surrounding area is not very peaceful. Being able to follow the Lu family's caravan can also reduce a lot of trouble.
The only trouble is that Bu Zixia is a big boss of the Confucian sect, and there must be many second and third generation disciples of the Confucian sect following him. If he accidentally misses his whereabouts, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing.
Yu Xian hesitated for a long time, unable to make up his mind.
In the end, there was really no other way, so he gritted his teeth and went to Cheng Ming to apply for the job.
Yu Xian covered his face with a cloth and came to Cheng Ming with his sword in hand.
Cheng Ming suddenly lost his composure, what are you doing?
Against Cheng Ming's suspicious gaze, Yu Xian explained, "Customs and traditions."
In order to dispel Cheng Ming's doubts, Yu Xian took off the cloth and gave him a look.
There were no newspapers at this time, so Yu Xian believed that as long as he was not the relevant person, he would not be recognized at all.
Cheng Ming really didn't see any reason for this.
He also called the servants in the post office to identify him and made sure that he was not a gangster from nearby Chengpu. Only then did he feel relieved.
Yu Xian didn't care, as long as he didn't expose his secrets in front of the Confucian disciples, everything else didn't matter.
After verifying his identity, Cheng Ming inquired, "I wonder who your surname is, where you come from, and what skills you have?"
Yu Xian thought for a while and replied, "My name is Yu Xian. I am from the Zuo family. My hometown is several cities away from here. I have been good at sword fighting throughout my life and have great strength."
The name Wu Qi must not be used anymore.
The war between Qi and Lu had just ended, and Wu Qi, an unparalleled villain who abandoned his mother, killed his wife, destroyed his army, and betrayed his master, was already a bad sight on the streets.
He was good at sword fighting because of Yu's dedication to himself, but it was true that he was extremely powerful.
Although he does not have the strength of a super warrior, Yu Xian's endurance is definitely extremely strong.
At least, Yu Xian himself has not yet tested the consumption limit of a mother's power.
In the first plot, Yu Xian carried Wu Qi's mother on his back and spent three years in Weiguo.
Then Cheng Ming was doubtful, "Seriously?"
With that said, he asked people to bring out the swordsmen recruited a few days ago to compete with Yu Xian.
When the people came out, Yu Xian's eyelids twitched.
I saw the swordsmen who came out, each with unkempt hair, protruding temples, hanging crowns, manly tassels, and short back clothes, looking at me with indifferent expressions.
Cheng Ming introduced, "These are Yanzhao swordsmen that I recruited. You can compete with them."
Yu Xian suddenly became a little uneasy.
Descriptions such as "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuangxueming" and "Killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace in a thousand miles" came to mind.
Yu Xian was scared.
Going solo with these professional swordsmen is definitely not a good idea!
