After leaving the Small Sage Manor, they had to pass through the territory of Qi State.
At this time, the Qi State was very strange. In modern terms, it was already " flat."
Ever since the Qi Kingdom was destroyed by the Yan Kingdom and rebuilt with the Fire Bull Array, its backbone had been broken. From the king to the nobles, they had all given up their weapons and focused on accumulating their own wealth. They closed their doors and lived their own lives, ignoring the fighting and killing outside.
As a result, the Qi Kingdom had not experienced war for decades.
Although the common people were not rich, at least they did not have to worry about food and clothing. Moreover, the entire Qi State had a strong business atmosphere, and merchants gathered there…
If there were no foreign enemies, such a Qi country would naturally be a rare paradise.
Unfortunately, it was the Warring States Period now, and Qi State was like a piece of fat meat. If it wasn't for the threat of Qin State, the other five countries would have long bitten it.
Of course, it also had something to do with the Qi Kingdom's style of being a fence-sitter.
When the other five countries attacked Qin, Qi State did not send troops but provided food. When Qin State attacked the other countries, Qi State also sold food to support them…At the same time, they also did business with Qin State, selling food, salt, and everything else.
It could only be said that the Qi Kingdom's method of "getting benefits from both sides" was very smooth.
Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Chu, the four countries that bordered Qi, needed to buy food from Qi to resist Qin.
Qin also needed to appease Qi to deal with the other five countries.
Of course, it was also related to the popularity of Confucianism in the Qi Kingdom. Other than Xunzi's "controlling the will of heaven", the other Confucians all talked about "following the will of heaven".
Follow the destiny and muddle along.
……
Gao Jing leaned against the shaft of the carriage and did not control the reins. He allowed the horse to pull the carriage forward and only focused on reading the book in his hand.
As Han Fei said, as long as he had this book, Gao Jing could continue to learn wherever he was.
He was currently reading the Book of Songs.
The 311 chapters of the Book of Songs were generally divided into "farming","conscription", and "marriage" between men and women.
Confucius summarized it in three words: "Si Wuxie."
There was nothing in his heart that he could not say to others. He was magnanimous and upright.
Gao Jing was engrossed in the story when the carriage stopped listening.
Looking up, he saw a woman holding a little girl and blocking the carriage.
The woman was very beautiful. She had a perfect oval face, long eyebrows, and a beautiful figure. It was difficult to believe that the girl in her arms was her child.
Gao Jing was reading the Book of Songs enthusiastically and blurted out,"The moon is shining, and the beautiful people are burning. My heart is so sad…"
The woman's face was cold, but her eyes became sharp when she heard this.
However, when he saw that Gao Jing was just a child who was neither too young nor too young, and that his eyes were clear and could make people feel that his thoughts were pure and that there were no evil thoughts, he relaxed and said,"I want to borrow your carriage!"
Gao Jing jumped off the carriage and lifted the curtain."I have a female companion, Yan Ru Shun Ying…Madam, please get in the car.”
The woman did not get into the car. Instead, she emphasized,"I mean, I want this carriage!”
Gao Jing smiled." I can't give you the carriage, but I can give you a ride."”
The woman stared at Gao Jing for a while, then suddenly turned around and left.
Gao Jing smiled and jumped into the carriage, letting the carriage catch up with him. He turned his head and sized him up."Furen can endure the pain of traveling, but this little sister can't.”
Gao Jing gave off a very sincere feeling. In addition, he was still young, so it was easier for people to let down their guard.
After hesitating for a moment, the woman finally carried the little girl into the carriage.
"There's food and water in the carriage.”
Gao Jing said casually as he drove the car. However, he felt a wave of regret in his heart. He was still too young. Facing such a stunning woman, he was tempted but could not move…
Si Wuxie…
Being lecherous…was self-abasement!
As expected, there were tests everywhere. He almost lost his mind!
Gao Jing sighed, gathered his thoughts, and straightened his heart. He could clearly feel that his " concentration " had deepened a little.
After walking for a while, a corner of the curtain was suddenly lifted, and the little girl poked her head out, looking at Gao Jing curiously with her big black eyes.
In terms of clarity, even the most sincere Gao Jing could not compare to this girl.
Feeling a surge of affection in his heart, Gao Jing could not help but reach out to stroke the little girl's head and softly said,""What's your sister's name?"
"Mother said my name is Yan, the word for oath." Mother asked me to thank Big Brother."
"Yan, what a good name."
Gao Jing's face twitched." You're welcome. Where are you going?"”
The little girl was puzzled. Her little head shrank back and came out a moment later. She said happily,"Mother said to go to Chu, to the Great Marsh Mountain.”
Was he going to use the power of the farmers to avoid the net?
Gao Jing thought for a moment and said,"Alright, then I'll send you to Chu first."”
Inside the carriage, a woman's voice sounded,""Little Mister, you don't have to do this."
Gao Jing smiled." I don't have anything to do anyway. I'm out traveling. It doesn't matter where I go."”
After a moment of silence, the woman said,"" Little mister is a scholarly disciple?"
"Gao Jing of the scholarly faction greets Madam." Gao Jing nodded and looked at Yan. He smiled and said,"Greetings, Miss Yan."
The little girl rolled her eyes and said carefully,""Have you met Brother Gao Jing?"
His tone was uncertain.
"Yan is really smart!" Gao Jing laughed.”
"Gao Jing…does little mister know someone called Lu?”
"Yan Lu?"
"Probably."
"Of course I know. The previous sect leader liked his talent and temperament, so he gave him the surname 'Yan'. He is now the second head of the Little Sage Manor.”
“……”
The carriage fell silent.
Yan Qingsi climbed out of the carriage and went up to Gao Jing.
Gao Jing's thoughts were pure and sincere. Even adults with complicated thoughts were close to him, let alone this little girl.
Seeing this, Gao Jing was worried that Yan would fall off the carriage, so he picked her up and placed her on his lap. He held her with one hand and let her play with the reins while he rolled up the book with the other.
"There are no words in my brother's book." Yan asked doubtfully.
"But there's an animation. Do you want to watch it?”
"What's an animation?"
"I can only let Yan see a little now…"
