Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 221, Choice
The three-legged Golden Crow came to the Fusang Sacred Tree, and looked at the Great Elder below with human eyes. The Great Elder looked at the dark Shilan clan land, and nodded to the Three-legged Golden Crow.

The three-legged Golden Crow flapped its wings and flew towards the place where Ziyou was. The Great Elder took another look at the Shilan Clan's land, and then his whole body turned into blue butterflies. The butterflies also scattered away.

Ziyou stood under the big tree, watching the flying three-legged golden crow stretch out his palm, covered with internal force, the three-legged golden crow landed in his palm, Ziyou looked at the palm in his hand with a sly smile in his eyes. The three-legged Golden Crow.

With the sound of footsteps, Ziyou looked at the Great Elder who came out of the dense forest. The Great Elder was wearing the same clothes as Yu Chou, except that there were more and more complicated white symbols painted on the Great Elder's old face, and the symbols at the corners of his eyes exuded Faint blue light.

While Ziyou was sizing up the Great Elder, the Great Elder was also observing Ziyou. He was dressed in Confucianism, which allowed the Great Elder to confirm Ziyou's identity. With the Zhanlu sword on his waist, the Great Elder couldn't help but say

"Xiao Mister, how did you get this sword?"

"Would you believe me when I said that I picked up this sword while walking on the road?" Ziyou put away the internal force in his palm and said.

"I believe." The Great Elder nodded and said, famous swords have spirits, and they choose their masters to serve them. The real famous swords choose their masters actively. Sharp swords, and the process of choosing the owner of a famous sword is quite peculiar, even if Ziyou picked it up on the road, the elder will believe it.

Ziyou was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that anyone would believe such a nonsense reason, seeing the great elder sincerely said that he believed it, Ziyou was a little embarrassed to continue editing, Zhanlu was not picked up by the roadside, It has nothing to do with him to pick up an artifact on the roadside. He found it in the room where a Confucian senior lived. At that time, he thought it was a fire stick. sword.

"Ziyou, a Confucianist, studied under Xunzi. Now he is the teacher of the king of Qin, the president of the Daqin Academy of Sciences, and the special envoy of Shu." Ziyou changed the subject.

Hearing Ziyou's self-introduction, the Great Elder was a little surprised. Although he didn't know the position of the dean of the Daqin Academy of Sciences, no one dared to underestimate the two titles of Disciple of Xunzi and Master of the King of Qin. Seeing Ziyou's youthful face, the last bit of contempt in the elder's heart was gone.

"Guarding the Great Elder in Xia Yuyuan, the patriarch of the Shilan clan in Shushan, I don't know why Mr. Xiao used my Yuyuan secret technique to call me to meet him?" said the Great Elder. He thought it was a descendant of the Sima family who had summoned him , but did not expect that a high-ranking person came, which made the elder a little at a loss. The Sima family can hand over the method of summoning him, which means that the Sima family has surrendered to Ziyou. There was a hint of worry in his eyes about the future of the Lan people.

"The Great Elder lives in Yuyuan, Shu Mountain, so he probably doesn't know about the affairs of Shu County, right? Shu County is going to suppress bandits." Ziyou said lightly.

The Great Elder's heart sank. It was as he guessed. Although Yu Yuan's guards lived deep in Shu Mountain, they also had people from the mountain to provide them with some news. People from the Shilan tribe would go down the mountain occasionally, and they would come back after hearing the news. Let's talk about it, especially the bandit suppression that is widely circulated in Chengdu today. There is an inextricable connection between Shushan Yuyuan and the Shushan banditry. Although he intends to pick Yuyuan out, he can't do anything.

"I don't know what connection the Yuyuan Shilan people have with these bandits, but there are no bandits among my people in Daqin, and they won't have any connections with bandits. Those who report bandits can still receive rewards from the local government, but with Those who have connections with bandits, or those who do not report their knowledge, shall be punished for the same crime. I wonder if the Great Elder knows about this?" Ziyou looked at the Great Elder indifferently and said, but the majesty on his body made the Great Elder's breath short stand up.

The Great Elder looked at Ziyou with complicated expressions in his eyes.Ziyou's words are already very clear. He gave Yu Yuan's guards and the Shilan tribe two ways to go. First, they should become the subjects of the Qin State, and hand over those who have connections with the bandits, and the Qin State spared the rest.

Second, be buried together.Looking at Ziyou's indifferent look, the Great Elder knew that he had to make a choice. Ziyou was different from Zhang Yi before. Zhang Yi knew the importance of Yu Yuan. In addition, Qin had just risen and did not have enough power to expand its territory. He also dealt with Yu Yuan's affairs internally, so Yu Yuan's guards still had room for negotiation.

But Ziyou is different. As a disciple of Xunzi, the Great Elder doesn't believe that Ziyou doesn't know the importance of Yu Yuan's guard, but Ziyou still gives the choice of life or death, which shows that Ziyou doesn't care about Yu Yuan's seal In other words, Ziyou is sure that after Yu Yuan's guards disappear, he can continue to seal Yu Yuan.

"Sir, the Shilan tribe thanks you for giving me a way out, but the Shilan tribe is complicated, please give me some time." The elder said in a deep voice, it has been almost a hundred years since the royal family of Shu merged into the Shilan tribe. At that time, the two had already merged into one. He was not sure how many people in the Shilan tribe had contact with the Shushan bandits, and although these people participated in it, most of them were bewitched. He still hoped to save them. Next some people.

"I will only give you seven days. After seven days, the army will go out of the city to suppress the bandits. At that time, Yu Yuan in Shushan will not be facing me, but my Daqin army. As for whether we can negotiate in such a peaceful manner, it depends on Yu Yuan Are the guards able to withstand strong bows, crossbows and sharp swords like Wei's armored gate?" Ziyou touched the three-legged Golden Crow on his shoulder and said.

The threatening meaning in Ziyou's words is self-evident, but the elder did not get angry at all, but felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. The battle of Qin's annihilation of South Korea is well known in the world, and he has also heard some news. When Qin's annihilation of Bashu, They are powerless to fight back, and now that Qin has easily wiped out a South Korea that far exceeds Bashu, what ability do they have to resist?

"The guards of Yu Yuan are no longer pure. Some people even forget their mission, and instead devote themselves to careerists. Such guards of Yu Yuan will cause disaster sooner or later. I hope you can make a wise choice, I gave Guard Yu Yuan the choice because of the mission of Guard Yu Yuan." Ziyou paused and continued.

"Just now, my subordinates rescued three children from the criminal elders guarded by Yu Yuan, two boys and one girl, and the girl is called Xiao Yu. She is very special, and the power in her body is very strong. She should be guarded by Yu Yuan's guards. The main power of Yu Yuan's seal, right?"

Hearing that Xiao Yu was attacked, and that the person who attacked was Yu Qiu, the elder's pupils tightened suddenly and he said
"how can that be?"

"Nothing is impossible, I don't need to lie to you, people are here with me now, they are safe." Ziyou continued.

Looking at Ziyou's serious look, and looking at Zhan Lu in Ziyou's hand, the Great Elder chose to believe Ziyou's words, and Ziyou had no reason to lie to him. Thinking of this, the Great Elder only had one thought in his mind , the descendants of the Shu royal family under Yu Yuan's guard must be dealt with immediately.
