"My Lord, you must stay calm!"
Kang Shi was really regretful at this moment. He had originally made up his mind to stay away from his master for a few days until the side effects of the way of the scholar disappeared before returning. Unexpectedly, he ran into his master who was in a rage before he had even packed his bag. He wanted to cry but had no tears, and dared not beg for mercy.
"Weiheng, please persuade the lord. I will really die if she strikes me with this knife!" In Kang Shi's tent, he was lying on the table with his arms and legs spread out, not daring to move. The lord's sickle was only two fingers away from his cheek, and the cold light of the blade made him panic.
Yu Zi half-peeked out of the tent and muttered, "Why are you being pitiful? Can the lord really take your life?"
Kang Shi: “…”
Of course he knew that his lord would not take his life.
But in broad daylight, if Chu Yao and the others knew that his lord was going to execute him on the spot, he would really be killed.
Kang Shi crossed his hands and raised them in front of his chest.
She wanted to cry but had no tears: "My Lord, please talk to me nicely."
If the lord really wants to kill him, he will have nothing to say, but at least he should die with a clear conscience, so that he won't become a fool.
Chen Tang was furious when he saw his reckless look: "Kang Jishou, you are such a good guy, you ruined my good seedling!"
Kang Shi was confused: "A good seedling?"
He thought that the lord came to trouble him to settle the side effects of bad luck. After all, he had heard that the lord's camp had accidents one after another from such a distance, so it was normal for his mentality to collapse. Who knew that she came for the "good seedling", Kang Shi was stunned for a moment.
He cried out, "My Lord, I am wronged!"
How could he possibly lead his lord's good talent astray!
Chen Tang held the handle of the sickle with one hand and pointed at the third person present with the other hand: "Kang Jishou, look at the good things you have done. Wei Heng's scholars are like this, and it's all your fault!"
It would be fine if you didn't mention this, because she would get even angrier if you did.
Before Kang Jishou joined, her team consisted of Chu Yao, Qi Shan and Gu Chi. Chu Yao's way of being a scholar was normal, and Qi Shan and Gu Chi's ways of being scholars had side effects, but they were barely within the normal range. Since Kang Shi joined, the style of the painting has completely changed!
The content in normal people is extremely low!
Now even the good seedlings she raises at home are abnormal!
Kang Shi's first reaction to this accusation was not to cry out for injustice, but to turn his head to look at Yu Zi in astonishment: "When did it happen?"
After the expedition, Yu Zi had been his deputy clerk.
He knew her strength status very well.
Yu Zi is thoughtful and obsessed. Although she is likely to awaken the Way of the Scholar in this state, she is too purposeful. Even if she awakens the Way of the Scholar, she may still go astray. The Way of the Scholar is for the scholar to question his true heart. If he even finds the wrong true heart, how can he take the right path in the future? Before going to the expedition, her great uncle also wrote to Kang Shi to help him solve the problem for Yu Zi.
Face your truest self and find the right path.
Kang Shi couldn't refuse this.
only-
If you count the length of service, Yu Zi is now a veteran in the workplace; if you count her age, she is an adult, she has her own ideas, and outsiders have limited influence on her. Kang Shi wanted to wait until the war was over before having a formal chat.
Unexpectedly, plans did not change as fast as before.
Yu Zi said with a guilty conscience: "In front of the battle."
The lord was furious and took a sickle to settle accounts with Kang Jishou, and put the blame on him, but Yu Zi couldn't take it for granted. The way of a scholar is to ask about her heart, and her heart and nature are like this, and it has nothing to do with Kang Shi...
When she said Kang Shiwen, it was just her private complaint and not the truth.
Kang Shi frowned when he heard that, and didn't even notice when Chen Tang took away the sickle until she pushed him with the back of the knife in annoyance.
"Get up, let's discuss what to do."
These words made Kang Shi realize that something was wrong.
"Is there something wrong with Wei Heng's way of being a scholar?" The lord has many wonderful people under his command, but none of them has made her so worried. It can be seen that Yu Zi's seriousness may be worse than Xun Zhen, who has made the lord deeply in debt. "What is her ability?"
Yu Zi didn't dare to hide anything.
“The way of the scholar is to hate purple and seize red, and the final effect may be similar to that of Military Advisor Xun. The difference is that Military Advisor Xun uses money to exchange, while the way of the scholar is to seize the luck of the lord, colleagues and even the enemy. Eighty percent of the total is converted for my use… Assuming I obtain one hundred luck from the lord and colleagues, I can also seize one hundred from the enemy. In the end, I can exert a strength of one hundred and sixty.” As she spoke, she lowered her head, and her already pale face became even uglier.
Kang Shi: “…”
He finally understood why his lord was so furious.
Yu Zi's scholarly ways are so annoying!
He completely achieved his own goals by plundering his colleagues. Although the victims also included the lord and the enemy, the final military merit still fell on Yu Zi. If this matter were known to others, Yu Zi's political enemies would probably line up in a long queue, and her career would be difficult.
Not everyone is as optimistic and open-minded as the lord. Similarly, colleagues are not just Chu Yao and Qi Shan! It covers civil and military affairs, from clerks in various county offices to soldiers from all over the country. These people are all targets of Yu Zi's plunder.
Luck is a mysterious thing. Although it cannot be seen or touched, it can affect the final outcome of an event. Especially in a battlefield where life and death are at stake, if luck is weak, one's life may be in danger. If Yu Zi cannot control this scholar's way, she will be useless!
Chen Tang knocked on the table to get him back to his senses: “You figure it out.”
Kang Shi was also worried, but he still wanted to say: "In terms of understanding the way of the literati, the perfect Xiandeng is more suitable."
Chen Tang threw out a sentence that left him speechless.
"Because Wei Heng's awakening to the Way of the Scholar happened to be the highlight of your great power. How can you guarantee that she was not influenced by you at that time? After all, Wei Heng is half of your student. If she encounters problems, who else can she turn to if not you?"
Kang Shi: “…”
He rubbed his forehead with a slight headache.
The lord really thinks highly of him. He hasn't even figured out his own way of the scholar yet, but he has been entrusted with an important task to find a way for the way of the scholar, which is even more terrible than his. However, Kang Shi did have some ideas: "In essence, Wei Heng's way of the scholar is the same as Han Zhang's. As long as the conditions are met, there is no upper limit to the strength. From this point of view, the potential is still considerable."
If Xun Zhen had unlimited money, theoretically, he could even conquer the entire continent by himself, and fighting against 100 million enemies is not a dream, but the poverty of his lord limits his ability to do so. Similarly, the same is true for Yu Zi, a scholar. As long as she sacrifices enough colleagues and lords, she can harm an equal number of enemies while squandering unlimited money and killing people everywhere...
Tsk tsk, none of them are good people.
At this time, just limit it.
Chen Tang asked, "How to restrict it?"
Kang Shi: "The lord's private vault restricted Han Zhang. If Wei Heng can freely control the scope or number of his colleagues, the restriction effect can also be achieved. One person is robbed of 100 luck, and 100 people are robbed of 100 luck. Although the result is 100 luck, the latter is only a little when spread to each person. Compared with the former, the impact is negligible."
He took a sip of water to moisten his dry lips and continued, "For example, when two armies are fighting, the possibility of colleagues in the rear facing danger is far less than that of colleagues in the front. Can the Scholar's Way be applied to the group in the rear?"
Chen Tang frowned and asked, "Is this okay?"
Although Chen Tang is good at arranging subordinates in a fancy way and developing strange uses, she herself does not have the knowledge of scholars and does not know much about it. As for the so-called "way of princes", she still does not know where this thing is.
Kang Shi nodded: "The way of the scholar is not static, just like the thoughts of the scholar himself. A person's thoughts will change with age and the increase of experience and knowledge, and the way of the scholar will naturally grow. But no matter how much it grows, it cannot be separated from the initial framework, just like the seeds of jade wheat cannot grow into white sorghum. The choice at the beginning is very important."
He looked at Yu Zi helplessly.
"If you take the wrong step at the first step, it will be very troublesome."
Yu Zi asked anxiously, "What kind of trouble is it?"
"The Way of Scholars, guess why it is called 'Tao'?" Kang Shi sighed, "It is the morality practiced by scholars, and it is also their true heart. You have chosen it firmly now, but what about ten, twenty, or thirty years later? When you clear the fog in your heart and find that it is not what you want, your heart will conflict with it, and you may even go crazy..."
Influenced by factors like these, it is not surprising that the group of literati and scholars is prone to produce paranoid and extreme people.
Yu Zi was stunned: "Crazy?"
"There are literati who drive themselves crazy. That's why I think the best age to awaken to the Way of the literati is when one is an adult or close to adulthood. By then, one's thoughts have become mature, and it's unlikely that one will find the wrong heart. But everything has its pros and cons - the more mature one's thoughts are, the more restrained one will be, and the less obsessive impulses one has as a teenager..."
There are so many young talents in the world who only shine for a short time. Apart from the wars, this is also partly due to the fact that they awakened to the way of scholars too early.
Yu Zi clutched the fabric around her knees.
She bit her lip and said, "I didn't choose the wrong path."
Facing Kang Shi's gaze, she repeated again: "I did not choose the wrong path, my lord, Military Advisor Kang, my path as a scholar is like this... because I am essentially such a person. But what's wrong with this? I just want to climb up!"
The grass that should have been in the mud was unwilling to rot, and instead tried hard to plunder nutrients to grow upwards. What's wrong with that
If she didn't have this determination and perseverance, she wouldn't be sitting here now, fearing the negative impact of the scribes' way, but would be curled up in a corner of Fugu City begging, or even lying in a corner full of stench, welcoming guests and acting as a lowly prostitute.
What's wrong with being unwilling to accept your predetermined fate
If the prerequisite for climbing up the ladder is to sacrifice her colleagues, she will do it! At most, she will be more careful and covert, praying that her evil deeds will not be discovered or exposed. She does not want to, and is afraid of returning to the past situation that she cannot bear to look back on.
"People live for fame, fortune and status. There is nothing wrong with your idea, but--" Chen Tang suddenly changed the subject, admonishing with his mouth, but his eyes showed no disgust or vigilance, "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can control their nature. The way of the scholar allows you to face your heart, not to let you indulge in your heart, it just lets you know that there is such an existence in your heart. Just like now, if you indulge in this way of the scholar, it will bring you powerful strength. As long as you don't reveal it, even your colleagues will not know that you are affected. But if you control it properly, it will be the strongest confidence."
The basic bottom line must be maintained! Using any means necessary may get you good results for a while, but under her command, you will never get far!
Yu Zi regretted the moment she said the above words. She feared more than anyone else that she would not be valued and cultivated, but the lord was lenient with her, which made her feel ashamed. She nodded heavily: "I will never forget the lord's teachings today."
Chen Tang spoke beautifully, but he was suffering in his heart.
But what can she do
Yu Zi is also a precious seedling.
"… Alas, I, your lord, am very lucky. Before you figure out how to control your way of the scholar, just keep an eye on me. You are a newbie on the road, how powerful can you be worse than Kang Jishou? Come on, for my life!"
Chen Tang patted Yu Zi’s shoulder.
The more open-minded she appears on the surface, the more tears she has in her heart.
Why was she so naive to think that as long as she didn't recruit eccentric scholars, her team wouldn't have eccentric scholars? Guard against thieves at night and day, but it's hard to guard against thieves at home! There's a traitor in the team!
She had just stood up and had not had time to straighten her back when the tent above her head collapsed with a crash. Shen Tang's newly rebuilt mentality once again shattered into thousands of pieces. A burst of martial energy violently broke through the tent, and the lord raised his knife to chase after Kang Shi, who was holding a package and chasing the wind and the scene.
A quarter of an hour later—
Chu Yao and the others saw their master, who was covered in dust and limping. The handle of the giant sickle became her makeshift crutch, and she looked so miserable. Seeing them, she sent Yu Zi away to do something, so that she wouldn't tell them about how she fell flat on her face and sprained her left foot while chasing Kang Jishou. She coughed twice and put on the serious expression of her master: "Wu Hui, do you have something to ask me?"
Although Huang Lie is dead, he still has many remnants.
Troops also need to be sent to wipe out these remnants.
Due to some force majeure, Chen Tang, a high-end combat force, could not lead his troops out and could only watch the opportunity to make meritorious service being handed over to other generals. Among them, Xian Yujian, Lu Jue and other young generals were the most enthusiastic, and these were also military merits!
Even though these remnants are torn apart and hiding everywhere, it is difficult to locate them, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat! They don't mind!
Chu Yao and others will also send people to follow and provide support.
Chen Tang was curious, why did he come back so soon
"I have something to show you, my lord."
As Chu Yao spoke, he turned sideways. Several soldiers came over with three stretchers. They turned out to be three enemy corpses. Judging from the color of their skin and the blood coagulation state of their wounds, they had been dead for a while. Chen Tang held up his scythe and jumped forward.
"What's wrong with them?"
Chu Yao and Gu Chi looked at each other.
He stepped forward, turned one of the bodies over, grabbed the man's collar and pulled it down, revealing most of his back.
Shen Tang's expression switched from confusion to solemnity.
"Is this... a tattoo?"
She took out a piece of cloth from the cloth pouch around her waist.
Pinch a corner and shake it open.
This piece of cloth was found on Zhang Yongqing.
The pattern above is exactly the same as the one on the back of the corpse!
Family, who understands...
What kind of good person would tattoo a nuclear radiation symbol on his back
"What family crest is this?"
An unexpected person suddenly spoke up.
"no."
Chen Tang looked towards Yun Ce.
