Chapter 1093 Bullying an honest person [Subscribe*Monthly ticket requested]

"Master, please spare my life. I am only here to deliver a message!" The killer was really scared.

He knew that Master Xun and Old Man Bai Lu were both masters, but no one told him that masters could be so terrifying. He flew out without even seeing any signs of the other party's attack.

If Xunzi had no intention to kill, it would not be as simple as sending him flying backwards.

"Keep talking!" Master Xun's eyes also turned cold.

"Lord Tonggu sacrificed his life at the meeting in Qinian Palace and was willing to die for his country. Lord Xuanjian was worried that Lord Tonggu would die at the hands of villains, so he ordered me to ride on the Suzaku to Xiaoshengxianzhuang to ask for help!" The killer did not dare to waste any more words and quickly told Li Si's current situation in Xianyang.

"Dying for the sake of righteousness, dying for the country?" Master Xun was stunned. He was familiar with these words. If they were combined with Han Fei, he could understand them. But why did they feel so unfamiliar to him when combined with Li Si?

"Get up and talk nicely!" Master Xun retracted his momentum.

The killer breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and then stiffly performed Confucian etiquette and told the story of what had happened in Xianyang.

"Is this really Li Si?" Master Xun was confused.

He had taught Li Si for so many years, and he knew Li Si's character very well.

Is it really possible for Li Si to sacrifice his life for the country?
Could it be that Xianyang and Luowang wanted to trick the dog into killing?
"I understand. You go back and wait first. Don't hide your whereabouts. I will send someone to look for you after I think it over!" Master Xun waved his hand.

"Yes!" The killer bowed hurriedly and left Xiaoshengxian Manor.

"Go and call Fu Nian and Yan Lu!" After sending away the assassins, Master Xun ordered the boy to invite Fu Nian and Yan Lu.

Soon, Fu Nian and Yan Lu arrived at the bamboo garden.

"The Luowang killer came here specially?" Fu Nian and Yan Lu were surprised.

"Luowang is no longer the same Luowang as it used to be!" Yan Lu said calmly.

"In the past, Luowang and Qin were in a cooperative relationship. Now, Luowang is Qin's lackey and the court's lackey. And all this is because of Hei Bai Xuan Jian!"

Fu Nian nodded in approval.

The Qin State’s only real intelligence agency was the Shadow Guard, but after Hei Bai Xuan Jian became the leader of Luo Wang, the nature of Luo Wang changed.

"I didn't ask you to come here to analyze Luowang's current situation!" Master Xun scolded.

"Uncle Master, are you asking me whether I should accept Hei Bai Xuan Jian's invitation to go to Xianyang?" Fu Nian understood.

"Yes!" Master Xun nodded.

"Senior Brother Tonggu is in Qin State, but he is not the person in charge of our Confucianism in Qin State. Uncle needs to go on this trip!" Yan Lu said decisively.

"I am asking you if anything will happen on this trip to Xianyang!" Xunzi looked at the two speechlessly.

He has to be afraid.

Wasn’t Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, also invited by the State of Qin to come to Qin? Then the prefect of Hangu Pass, Yin Xi, personally led an army of 3,000 troops out of the city for 30 miles to welcome him?

Do you really think that was a welcome?
That is telling me, you have to come whether you come or not!

Even a great master like Laozi had to leave behind the Tao Te Ching when he went to the Qin State and founded his own school of thought in Taiyi Mountain. Xunzi did not think that he could come back safely after going to Xianyang.

"..." Fu Nian and Yan Lu were silent. With Qin Guo's character, he could really do such a thing.

They didn't dare to kill Xunzi, but that didn't mean there were no other means to force Xunzi to stay in Qin.

The Great Qin Academy has always been lacking a chief academic officer.

Master Xun looked at the two silent people, and finally his eyes lit up and fixed his gaze on Fu Nian.

"Fu Nian!" Master Xun spoke.

"Here!" Fu Nian didn't understand what Master Xun meant, but he still bowed politely.

"I would like to go and save Tonggu at the risk of my own life, but I rejected the invitation of King Qin Zheng before. Now Hei Bai Xuan Jian invites me. If I go, it will be a slap in the face of King Qin Zheng and will also put Hei Bai Xuan Jian in danger. The other party is willing to offend the nobles of Xianyang and come to report the news. I, a Confucian, will not do such an unkind and unjust thing!" Master Xun spoke slowly.

"So, Uncle-Master wants Zi Nian to go?" Fu Nian looked at Master Xun in shock.

You old man, you are still so evil even though you are half buried in the ground.

You don't dare to go, so you let me go?
"You are the head of Confucianism and the head of Xiaoshengxianzhuang. It is more legitimate for you to go than for me!" Master Xun calmly stated his reasons.

"..." Yan Lu looked at Master Xun in shock. Is this still the respected uncle?
So your own disciples are disciples, but other people’s disciples are not disciples?
In order to save Li Si, they no longer treat their fellow disciples as human beings?
"I..." Fu Nian also hesitated. This reason was very powerful.

"But if I go, wouldn't that mean I acknowledge that Qin is the orthodox state?" Fu Nian also found a reason not to go, "Why not let my junior brother go and ask the Confucian scholars in Qin to take Li Si as their leader."

“???” Yan Lu was even more shocked and looked at Fu Nian with wide eyes.

Are you human?
Have you ever gone to a farmer's house for further studies?

They are all so cowardly, and then just let themselves go!
"I heard that Mr. Gongsun, the foreign minister of Bingzhou, is also in Xianyang. I haven't seen Mr. Gongsun and his wife for a long time. Don't you miss them?" Fu Nian was afraid that Yan Lu would disagree, so he quickly found a reason.

Xunzi hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to Yan Lu.

"This is not the way to bully an honest person, right?" Yan Lu's state of mind, which had remained intact for many years, began to crack today.

I have supported you two guys so much. Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard. How come you guys teamed up to plot against an honest person!
"What's more, Shuijun is also preparing to set sail to hunt Kunpeng. My uncle and I are on the invitation list, so we really can't leave." Fu Nian continued to add reasons, and then directly stuffed the Taia sword, which represented the head of Confucianism, into Yan Lu's hand.

"Go with peace of mind, all Confucian disciples will obey your orders!" Fu Nian patted Yan Lu's shoulder.

"I..." Yan Lu looked at Xunzi in confusion, then at Fu Nian, and finally looked unfocusedly at the Tai'a sword, the token of the Confucian leader in his hand.

"Look, even the Taia Sword didn't object!" Fu Nian said with a smile.

"..." Yan Lu's mouth twitched. Do you think I'm stupid? Can't you see that you used your true energy to suppress the Tai'a Sword?

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. If we go there, Qin may attack us. But it's different for you, Junior Brother. When you go to Xianyang, you can live in the Bingzhou Embassy. Qin will not surround the Embassy to arrest you. That would create friction between Bingzhou and Qin, and it's a diplomatic event."

"So you are the most suitable person to go on this mission, what do you think, uncle?" Fu Nian turned to look at Master Xun.

Xunzi also nodded hesitantly.

He had misjudged Li Si before, and now he found that he seemed to not understand Fu Nian either.

When did this Confucian leader become so cunning?
When did the Confucian leader who used to be generous with his appearance become like this!
