Spring and Autumn I Am King

"who!"

When the incident happened suddenly, Qi Wan, the guard beside Zhao Wuxi, was shocked and stepped forward to draw his sword to protect the lord, but was stopped by Zhao Wuxi reaching out his arm. ⊥, x.

Zhao Wuxi looked up and saw the appearance of the person on the tree.

The man was squatting on the sturdy branch, reaching for the pears among the yellow leaves, eating them whole, and there were many pear cores that had been eaten cleanly under the pear tree...

Is it the villagers who came to eat pears? Unlike the village elder who just saw the grass hut from afar, he paid homage, and the rest of the villagers mentioned Mr. Xin more respectfully than their old master, Jun Leqi. They would not easily cross the bridge to disturb them. So rude.

So, is it Ji Ran himself?

Although people with strange talents must have strange characters, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, this situation reached its peak. It is understandable for Ji Ran to do this kind of thing at his doorstep, but it is very different from the delicate and patient economist in Zhao Wuxi's mind. Instead, it looks like...

Such a crazy person!

So Zhao Wuxi stepped forward and bowed to the person who was eating pear Zhenghuan on the tree: "Is it Mr. Xin Wenzi?"

His attitude is sincere and his tone is humble. Treating an unknown scholar in such a capacity can be said to be a corporal with the utmost respect.

But the man on the tree stopped eating, and after a while, he laughed loudly, and only jumped down after the long laughter stopped.

Everyone under the tree couldn't help but take a few steps back, but saw the big sleeves flying, like a feather falling gracefully, but it was a middle-aged man. I saw that he was tall and tall, with a sloppy attitude and a pair of broken shoes. The large ge blouses were tattered, with patches scattered here and there.

Refugees from outside?

Look again. The man dressed as a refugee was about 40 years old, and his beard and hair were disheveled. The facial features are clear, and the eyes are as clear as gods. At first glance, it was very sloppy, but after a closer look, there was a Tsinghua spirit that could not be concealed by ragged clothes and shoes could not help overflowing.

He stepped on a pear core and asked proudly, "Who are you?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, it turned out to be a standard Cheng Zhou Yayin, and Zhao Wuxi said in his heart: "This person is not a wise man, but he is also a good person. I have heard that China is rude. Learning from the four fields, there are quite a few wanderers in this era who hide in Ye Lu, I can't judge people by their appearance."

So he stepped forward and continued to see the ceremony: "The next is the in-laws of the Le family, the son of Zhao Qing of the Jin State, Zhao Wuxi, the small secretary of the Lu State, I have heard the name of Mr. Xin for a long time..."

The wanderer stretched out his little finger and poked out his ears: "I have poor eyes, I can't recognize noble people, and I'm also deaf, so I can't remember such a long name. But the name of Zhao Xiaosikou in the Kingdom of Lu seems to have been heard before."

The other party's behavior is strange, and it is not easy to deal with...

At this moment, a gust of autumn wind blew, and the wanderer couldn't help shivering. Zhao Wuxi had an idea and said, "Jiqiu is cold, but the gentleman is wearing thin clothes. I also hope to accept the kid's fur coat..."

After saying that, he took off his bear fur and presented it. The guards and entourage behind him were moved, and had long heard of Corporal Si Kou Lixian. Sure enough.

The wanderer stepped on the pear core on the ground, but he took it with a smile and unceremoniously, put it on without saying a word of thanks, and continued to reach into his rags to search for lice, squinting and asking, "I don't know. What is Zhao Xiaosikou here for?"

"The boy is here to visit Mr. Xin Wenzi..."

Youshi found a louse and threw it into his mouth and bit it hard, frowning as he watched the crowd, and then continued: "Visiting? A slaughter and an official?"

Zhao Wuxi thought to himself, these outspoken hermits don't like hypocritical people the most, so it would be better for me to directly clarify my intentions.

"Of course, the Song Kingdom is in great chaos, and there are clouds in all directions, so this kid wants to see Mr. Xin, and ask for a strategy for peace and stability..."

"Hahahahaha!" Before he could finish speaking, the wanderer who seemed to be Ji Ran burst into laughter. He didn't care that the bright bearskin fur was still on his body, and rolled to the ground, beating his chest and feet, laughing with his nose and tears. Out.

The guards and entourage behind him were furious, but Zhao Wuxi didn't take it seriously: "Why are you laughing, sir?"

The wanderer had laughed enough, and just now he sat on the fallen leaves and said, "Because this is the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life."

His face suddenly became serious, and he pointed at Zhao Wuxi and said, "Song is not your home state, nor your kingdom, but you are concerned about it, not to mention it's just because of the Sicheng Le clan. I heard that Zhao Xiaosi Kou is in the state of Lu. To lead the alliance as a doctor, invade other cities and towns, and press down the Qing family, can be described as a wolf's ambition. Now, the purpose of entering the Song Dynasty is either **** or stealing! Isn't this Song State being attacked by the daughter-in-law Nanzi, Uncle Xiao Daxin, the fourth son, Xiang Xiang Brothers, are you Zhao Wuxi and other thieves who stole the country? Now you pretend to want peace and stability? Isn't it a big absurdity in the world?"

...

This accusation came extremely quickly, and everyone behind Zhao Wuxi was stunned for a while. After reacting, they all wished that they could draw a sword and slash the arrogant madman. The man was not afraid. After speaking, he continued to sit still. Picked up a pear and nibbled again.

Zhao Wuxi stopped them again and said, "I didn't expect my husband to see me like this..."

The madman raised his eyebrows: "That's how I see it, how are you doing?"

Meat eaters contempt! As early as more than 100 years ago, there were quite a few Chinese people and scholars who held this view. The more serious the collapse of ritual and music, and the closer to the world of the Warring States, the more people who have high self-esteem and disdain princes. .

This kind of social trend is good and bad. The advantage is that the mind is becoming more and more open and diverse, and the scholars have their own personalities and ideas, which eventually created a hundred schools of thought contend. As for the downside, it is that individuals can criticize the nobles, the life of the lords is getting harder and harder, and it is more and more difficult to recruit talents.

Fortunately, Zhao Wuxi came from later generations. He has the capacity to tolerate people. After a moment of indulgence, he said, "If this is the case, then I will tell it myself, so as not to misunderstand Mr.

"I don't want to explain what I did in the State of Lu, but I just want to say that everything is worthy of my heart. From the previous year to the present, it is the boy who helped the state of Lu. I don’t know how many accomplices to the government; if there is no me, Qi will enter Lu. The people of Lu suffer from disaster and become vassals of other countries. I don’t know how many thousands or tens of thousands; Well, there are countless more wronged souls in Haoli; without me, the state of Lu would have been defeated in Jiagu long ago, and the monarch and Sanhuan would become the laughing stock of the world..."

The madman laughed and said, "Xiao Sikou thinks very highly of himself, but he also makes sense, but in the final analysis, you are still the same as Yang Hu, the wise master is careful to do things, and if you are not worthy, you try to act as a traitor. You have hollowed out half of the foundation of the Song Dynasty, and now you think it's not enough, and come to dig the Song country again?"

"Mr. has misunderstood this point. In the chaos of the Song country, the boy was indeed an outsider. I had no foundation in the Song country, and many things were out of control. Until the Sichengle family suffered, and my unmarried wife was surrounded, I had no choice but to come to help. Just as Mr. said, this turmoil was originally set off by the ambitious. It's not the turmoil of Liu Qing's regime change. It even allowed the war to spread to this peaceful Pu..."

"Xing, the people suffer. Death, the people suffer..." The madman lowered his head and silently recited it several times. Fu stood up, and his attitude was not so disrespectful.

"There are not many meat eaters who can realize this. It seems that Xiao Sikou is also a wonderful person." He tutted his tongue in amazement, and suddenly praised in a Chu accent: "Feng Xi Feng Xi! Remonstrance. Those who come can still be chased. That’s it, that’s it! Today’s politicians are in danger!”

After the praise, he looked at Zhao Wuchen and said with emotion: "I was rude just now, but since you are a young phoenix among people, how can you get involved in the conspiracy of the court and the turbid waters of the feudal lords? Why don't you learn from Wu State? Yanling Jizi, live in peace and ignore the turmoil in this world."

"I am limited by my status and I have to do it. I can't do Ji Zha. I only wish to cultivate myself and manage the country, and contribute to the rise and fall of the world. I also hope that Mr. Xin Wenzi can give some pointers."

The madman laughed: "When did I say I'm Xin Wenzi?"

Zhao Wuxi was taken aback: "Isn't it? Isn't this Mr. Ji Ran's residence?"

"This is Wenzi's residence, yes, but he, like me, likes to travel around the world. I'm not at home, I'm just here to find an old friend of his."

"Does the gentleman know where he went?"

The madman stretched his back and said, "Who knows? At this time, he may be swimming among the five lakes in a small boat, or visiting hermits above Taihang, or looking for friends in Qilu, or playing qin and chess in Sangjian Pu. I'm unpredictable, I don't know where I'm going. I want to visit, but I don't know where I'm going, and I don't have a bite to eat, so I can only come to eat this sour pear..."

Zhao Wuxi was a little disappointed. It turned out that he was in vain today: "When will I be able to return?"

The madman yawned: "According to his usual style, the return date is not fixed. If it is close, it may be three or five days, and if it is far away, it may be three or five years..."

Zhao Wuxi was a little speechless, but he couldn't run for nothing today. The person in front of him or Jiran's friend, as long as he stayed, was not afraid that Jiran would not come. So he invited the madman to say, "I don't know the name of Mr. Xin. Now that the soldiers are fighting all over the place, I also ask Mr. to accompany me to Daicheng. The boy will treat him with delicious food and gentleness, and we will wait for Mr. Xin Wenzi to return. How about it?"

The madman shook his head like a rattle: "Don't go, don't go, I would rather be a tortoise dragging its tail in the grass, but I would rather be made into a tortoise shell and enshrined in a temple!"

"As for my name? I don't dare to insult the emperor's ears, I'm just a madman in Chu! Please come back, Si Kou, and you don't have to put me under house arrest for a reason. If I see him, I will naturally Tell him what happened today!"

After revealing Zhao Wuxi's plan, he walked away, walking towards the vegetable field outside Ji Ran's house.

"If there is a way in the world, sages will become successful; if there is no way in the world, sages will be born. In today's time, only punishment can be avoided. Blessings are as light as feathers, and there is no need to know them; disasters are heavy on the earth, and they should not be avoided. , come to the person with virtue! It is almost dangerous, and it is drawn to the ground! I am lost in the sun, and it does not hurt my line! My line is curved, and it does not hurt my feet."

Zhao Wuxi and the others returned to the stone bridge, and were about to beat their horses and walked away. Hearing the madman singing, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He remembered the "Feng Xi Feng Xi" he sighed earlier, and suddenly remembered who this person is!

I am a madman of Chu~www.wuxiahere.com~ Feng Ge laughs at Confucius.

Holding a green jade staff, he bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower.

The Five Mountains are not far from seeking immortals, and it is easy to travel to famous mountains in a lifetime!

That Chu madman who would sing to Confucius a few years later, would meet him here...

...

Time flies, Jiqiu and Jiuyue are halfway through in the blink of an eye, Nanzi still has no news, but there are rumors that she was imprisoned on the high platform of Shangqiu Tong Palace. As for Ji Ran, Zhao Wuxi also sent people to inquire, but There was still no response, and even Chu Kuangren Jieyu disappeared.

After that, the war raged and the situation became more and more tense, so Zhao Wuxi was not able to "visit the cottage three times", but just before he was about to fight against Meng Zhu with the allied forces of Zheng, Wei and Song rebels, someone came to the door. .

"Outside the camp there was a man dressed as a fisherman who called himself 'Fisherman' and said that he had news of Xin Wenzi and asked to see Si Kou!" (To be continued.)
