Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 127
The distance between Tuqiu and Qufu is not too far, only more than 100 miles away.

In other words, even the State of Lu is only a country with a radius of five hundred miles.

However, although it was only more than 100 miles, considering that there were old people and children in the team, Zai Yu and his party still stopped and ran for five days.

In the early morning of the fifth day, a square city finally appeared on the horizon.

Xiaogong Shuban was pestering Zaiyu to explain the basic principle of pinhole imaging to him.

When he saw the city, he suddenly closed his right eye, stretched out his thumb to measure it, and quickly gave the length of the city from east to west.

"Master Zai, the city ahead is about four thousand to five thousand feet long, am I right?"

Zaiyu is no stranger to Gongshuban's intelligence, after all, he is at the level of a patriarch.

I just taught him the thumb distance measurement method the day before yesterday, and I can learn it and use it flexibly today.

If you give him another ten years of study time...

Stop Chu from attacking Song?

Does Mozi have a howitzer?

But this is a joke after all. Gongshuban is still young, and his world outlook, outlook on life, and most importantly, his moral outlook have not yet been formed.

As the successor of the master, Zaiyu is quite confident in teaching a benevolent craftsman with a flexible moral bottom line.

Jae Yu took out the caramel with a smile and said affirmatively, "You have learned well!"

Xiaogong Shuban was affirmed by his master, and his confidence was even stronger.

He took the caramel with a smile, took out the homework book pinned to his belt, and handed it to Zaiyu respectfully.

"This is yesterday's homework, please check it, master."

Zaiyu took the homework book without reading it, but directly handed it to Zigong who was watching the scenery next to him.

"Mathematics, let Master Duanmu check it later, I'm not familiar with these."

Zigong reluctantly accepted the homework, if Zaiyu hadn't promised to give him "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", he wouldn't have bothered to help the children correct their homework.

He opened the workbook of Gongshuban, who knew that the first question frowned on him.

Master Duanmu met a tiger in the mountains. Master Duanmu wanted to leave, but the tiger chased him.Suppose Master Duanmu walks five feet per breath, and the tiger walks eight feet per breath, and the distance between the two is 180 feet. How many breaths later will Master Duanmu be overtaken by the tiger?

"Damn me! What's wrong with you? Why do I have to meet a tiger, why don't you?"

After hearing this, Jae Yu turned to the next page of the workbook in distaste, pointed to the text on it and said, "Who said I didn't meet, didn't I meet?"

Zigong took a closer look.

Master Zai met a tiger in the mountains, and the tiger wanted to leave, Master Zai chased after it.if……

"Hey! Kid, you kid..."

Zigong was about to start swearing, when he suddenly heard screams from the queue behind him.

Everyone looked back.

A few savages with disheveled clothes and dirty faces popped out of nowhere.

They went straight to the ox cart full of grain, grabbed a handful of dried meat and bread, and ran away.

Seeing this, Zaiyu quickly shouted: "Zi Zhou!"

Shen Shu shouted loudly, "Yes!"

"Catch them for me!"

"As ordered!"

With an order, Shen Shu ordered the chariot to pursue the savages, and thirty apprentices followed closely behind his chariot and went forward to pursue them.

A horse with two legs cannot outrun a horse with four legs.

Shen Jian took the bronze dagger instead, and knocked them down one by one with the handle, and the disciples swarmed up and subdued them one after another.

"Don't move! Be honest!"

Most of the savages were scared pale by this group of heavily armed soldiers, and some even started to kneel down and beg for mercy, talking a lot.

For the rest, they didn't even care about their fear, they wolfed down the food they had just grabbed into their mouths.

It seems that he has been hungry for a long time.

And the savage in the middle, who was obviously much stronger than the others, sat on the ground calmly.

He first looked up to the sky and sighed, then took out a piece of jerky, and began to eat slowly, chewing each mouthful, and savoring it for a while, as if he was experiencing the delicious taste of salt.

When Shen Jian saw this, he immediately lost his temper.

He jumped out of the carriage and kicked the other party to the ground: "The stolen food is eaten with a calm face! Don't you know what is called etiquette, righteousness and shame?"

Shi He, the leader of the disciples, said weakly: "Shen Sima, these wild people seem to speak the dialect of Judi. The people of Juguo probably really don't understand these things."

Shen Shu was choked by his words and didn't know how to continue.

At this moment, Jae Yu's chariot also arrived.

He got out of the car, first glanced at the costumes of these savages, and suddenly felt that this group of people seemed to be different from ordinary savages.

Although the clothes were dirty and shabby, at least they were neatly dressed, and some of them were actually wearing leather armor.

However, judging from the remaining sword scars on the leather armor on their bodies, it is obvious that they have experienced a great battle.

Before Zaiyu could speak, he suddenly heard the strong savage leading the conversation.

"It's you?"

Zai Yu frowned and turned his head, "You know how to speak politely?"

The wild man stood up excitedly, with anger written all over his face, he waved his fist and hit Zaiyu.

"I was hurt so badly by you!"

Zaiyu is used to fighting with Zigong, so he has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of sneak attack.

Seeing the savage approaching, he raised his leg lightly, followed by a lightning-fast move to lift his foot.

There was only a muffled bang, and the two-hundred-jin man fell to the ground in pain.

Zai Yu walked in front of him, knelt down and asked, "Is there anything I can say? Why do you insist on pressing each other so hard?"

The savage lay on the ground for a long time before replying through gritted teeth.

"How do you want me to talk to you in a nice voice? On the battlefield that day, you shot our coach to death.

According to the law of Ju State, if the commander-in-chief dies in battle, we soldiers who follow us will also be executed together!
Those of us personal guards can only face the pursuit of the two countries, flee along the border to the territory of Lu State, and become homeless savages!

You make me how can I not hate you! "

When Zaiyu heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then carefully looked at the facial features of the person in front of him, and said in surprise.

"Are you the Juren archer who shot me that day?"

The other party sighed: "I only hate that I didn't recognize you before! If not, I will shoot you to death."

When Shen Shun heard this, he flew into a rage, and he raised his hand to give him a big slap in the face.

"Under the defeated general, An dares to speak bravely!"

Zai Yu hurriedly stopped Shen Shu: "Wait!"

After finishing speaking, Zai Yu asked the wild man with a smile, "I said, what's your name?"

The savage said disdainfully: "If you want to kill, then kill, why bother talking?"

He didn't answer, and Zaiyu was not in a hurry, he got up and asked his subdued companions: "What's the name of this person? Who can answer my question, I will save him from death."

As soon as the voice fell, several replies were heard one after another.

"His name is Ji Sheng, and he is a descendant of Ji Chang, a master archer!"

Hearing this, Ji Sheng couldn't help but angrily reprimanded: "Brother, it's just a death! How can you surrender to the enemy?"

Zai Yu nodded with a smile, and then gave instructions to the disciples around him.

"The few people who just answered the question, present them with good wine and good food."

"Leader!"

Not long after, the disciples brought them a jar of good wine, and sent them a few pieces of bread and meat for them to drink.

Seeing that their companions were treated like this, the rest of the defeated soldiers of Ju State showed eagerness on their faces, and they asked one after another.

"Gentleman, if you have any questions, we can answer them!"

When Jai Yu heard this, he smiled even more happily.

It's easy to have a leading party.

Zaiyu paced and said, "I heard from Ji Sheng just now that you are all personal guards of Marshal Ju. So, you must all be good fighters in the army of Ju State?"

"I can handle six weapons!"

"I am capable of defeating the three of them!"

"I can travel hundreds of miles a day in the forest!"

Zaiyu took a jar of wine from the disciples, and ordered his subordinates to bring pottery bowls to the defeated soldiers.

He poured wine for them one by one, and while pouring wine, he said: "I heard that when a man is born in troubled times, he should carry a three-foot sword to achieve invincibility.

Although I am from Lu, I have fought with you.However, when the two countries started a war, both sides were their own masters, devoted their loyalty to the country, and gave their lives to the monarch. This is something that cannot be helped.

In the battle of attacking Ju, everyone took advantage of the night to surprise the Lu army's vanguard camp, attacking the crowd with the few, attacking the many with the few, what kind of fearless spirit is this?
On the battlefield, I and you are enemies.Under the battlefield, I respect you as heroes.

This bowl of wine, I worship you all! "

After finishing speaking, Zaiyu picked up the pottery bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

When the defeated soldiers of Ju State saw it, they all had tears in their eyes.

They lived and died for the country of Ju, and they were determined to go out with the army with the determination to die.

However, the strength of the State of Ju could not compete with the State of Lu, and the death of Commander Ju had nothing to do with them. However, they were chased and killed by the state, lost their dignity, and were driven around like pigs and dogs.

The mother country treats them like this, thinking that no one in the world can understand them, who would have thought that the one who respects them is actually a general from the enemy country?

The defeated soldiers stood up together and drank all the wine with Zaiyu.

"I'm waiting, I also worship the gentleman's great kindness!"

Seeing that his subordinates were being bribed by Zai Yu, Ji Sheng couldn't help but angrily said.

"How can you bend down for a small favor! The national support, is it to make you break your promise!"

When Zaiyu heard the words, he just laughed, shook his head and said, "Jizi, you are wrong about what you said."

Ji Sheng said angrily: "What's wrong? You can fool them, but don't try to deceive me with your evil words!"

　I have been unlucky for three years just to wait for an opportunity!I want to fight for my breath, not to prove that I am better than other authors!I just want to tell people that I must get back the lost monthly pass and recommended pass!
