In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Estate, Zhang Xuan wielded his sword. Like a pine leaf, he swayed left and right as the sword in his hand sliced through the air, producing whooshing sounds.
"Pine Wind Shadow."
" Die!" Zhang Xuan shouted. He jumped up and circulated his internal energy rapidly. The three-foot-long Qingfeng sword in his hand was so fast that it seemed to leave behind afterimages. From afar, it looked like four swords had appeared in Zhang Xuan's hand. However, three of them were very illusory, as if they were transparent.
Zhang Xuan spun rapidly in the air, channeling all his internal strength into his sword arm. The sword body shook slightly, and he stabbed forward. A thin and long sword shadow immediately remained in the air, lingering for two breaths before slowly fading away.
A leaf happened to be at the tip of the sword. When it fell to the ground, it had already been cut in half.
"Mouth slap ~"
At this moment, a round of applause could be heard. Zhang Xuan's brother, Zhang Liang, happened to be standing in the distance. When he saw Zhang Xuan's Song Feng's afterimage, his face also revealed a look of amazement.
Zhang Liang walked over slowly, shook his head and smiled,""This is indeed the time to study, but not today. Today is the day for teachers to rest. How can I waste other people's time for my own selfish desires?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xuan smiled embarrassedly. He had been practicing his swordsmanship for the past few days and was completely confused about the time. He even ignored the few times that Hong Lian came to play with him, which made the girl very angry.
" You, your dedication to martial arts has already surpassed my reading." Zhang Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought for a moment and seemed to have something to tell Zhang Xuan.
" Big brother, do you have something to tell me?" Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Liang. He was very familiar with this big brother who he grew up with. He could tell that Zhang Liang had something on his mind.
Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes in confusion. Not at home for a while? Was he going on a long journey?
" Second Brother, to tell you the truth, I'm very interested in the Confucian school founded by Confucius. I've benefited a lot from the various ideas in it. Therefore, I've thought about it and decided to go to Qi to study," Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.
" Confucianism " Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. As a transmigrator, this name was no stranger to him. In the modern era, Confucianism had a profound influence on the entire Chinese race. It could be said that among many theories, Confucianism had been raised to a very sacred height by everyone. It was almost the first of all theories.
Zhang Liang in the original novel was one of the three heroes of Qi and Lu in Confucianism. When Zhang Xuan heard that Zhang Liang was going to study in Qi, although he was a little surprised, he was not surprised.
" As expected, he will still go to the Little Sage Manor of the Qi Kingdom sooner or later," Zhang Xuan thought to himself.
The two of them came to a stone table at the side and sat down to drink tea. Zhang Xuan said,"As your younger brother, I naturally have no right to interfere with your choice. The Confucian school is known as the Sage, so it's actually good to go there."
Of course, there was another reason that Zhang Xuan didn't say. Qi was the only country that surrendered without a fight among the six countries that Qin destroyed. Although it was humiliating, it avoided the war and fire in the country. Compared to other places that were barren and destitute, Qi was relatively prosperous. From the original novel, the scenery of the Little Sage Manor was beautiful and charming. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many Confucian rules and Zhang Xuan wasn't too interested in Confucianism, it would have been a good choice to go to Confucianism.
"Then big brother, when do you plan to set off?”Zhang Xuan asked.
"What do you mean by the results in two days?”Zhang Xuan didn't understand.
Zhang Liang smiled. Excitement flashed across his eyes as he said," Second Brother, you've been practicing your swordsmanship behind closed doors for the past few days. I don't know that news has already come from New Zheng. It's said that a sage scholar from the Confucians, Xun Zi, will come here in two days and attempt to recruit a disciple."
"Xun Zi!" When Zhang Xuan heard this, his eyes revealed a trace of shock. This was a Confucian master, and in the original novel, his seniority was extremely high. Even Fu Nian and Yan Lu did not dare to overstep their boundaries in front of him. Although he was old, he was not restricted by the rules of the past. He was an old man who knew how to adapt.
" Second brother, Xunzi is very knowledgeable and has a profound cultivation. If it's possible, I hope that you can enter the Confucian school with me. I know that you like martial arts, but the Confucian school is also divided into the literary school and the martial school. You can also enter." Zhang Liang watched Zhang Xuan go to a faraway place to study and leave his hometown. No matter who it was, they would more or less feel a sense of reluctance. As a brother, Zhang Liang naturally hoped that Zhang Xuan would go with him.
" Enter the scholarly faction?" Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched. He had never thought of this idea before. He could almost imagine a scene in his mind. In a small room, there were more than ten people holding books, shaking their heads as they read the Analects of Confucius. Just thinking about that silly look made Zhang Xuan break out in cold sweat.
Seeing Zhang Xuan's straightforward refusal, Zhang Liang sighed regretfully and tried to persuade him again. However, Zhang Xuan was not interested in the Confucian school at all. In the end, he could only give up and return to his room to seriously prepare. He hoped that he would be able to stand out in Xun Zi's selection two days later.
Two days passed by quickly. Many of the nobles in Xin Zheng had been studying hard at home. The Confucians of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were well-known in the Seven Kingdoms. Confucius was a great scholar who was respected by countless people. The small Sage Manor of the Confucians in the Kingdom of Qi was known as the holy land of reading in the world.
On this day, a group of over a dozen people slowly entered the city. At the front of the group were two young men in their twenties.
" Korea is the smallest country among the seven countries. It's also the weakest country. I wonder what kind of students Uncle will recruit here," one of the two said.
The two of them rode their horses and slowly entered Xin Zheng. An old man with black and white hair sat in the carriage behind them. The moment he entered the city, he slowly opened his eyes.
