Chapter 1961 Killing the Grand Master in a Row (Part 2)
Chapter 1959: Killing the Grand Master in a row (Part 2)
Confucius had already calculated everything, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xi was so fast. With two people at his side, even the three half-step masters couldn't catch up with him.
Seeing that Zhu Xi was about to escape from Xuanwu Street, Confucius finally couldn't bear it anymore. Although he didn't want to take action against Zhu Xi, he was even more unwilling to watch Zhu Xi escape, so he said decisively: "No wait, let's take action."
Kong Xuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he almost thought he heard wrongly, and asked: "But Brother Qiu, if we take action against Zhu Xi, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain when we get back."
A strange look flashed in Confucius' eyes and he smiled lightly: "Who said he was going to take action against Zhu Xi?"
Confucius' eyes fell on Yang Ping and Sima Yi, and he said calmly: "Zhu Xi took the substitute and Sima Yi with him even at the risk of being caught up. This shows that these two people are extremely important to Zhu Xi.
Therefore, we think that Zhu Xi will not remain indifferent if the imperial court arrests the traitors and takes action against these two people. He only needs to drag the Qin army to catch up, and then the Qin army will come to get rid of Zhu Xi. "
Kong Xuan was immediately overjoyed, but then he felt something was wrong. The way he looked at Kong Qiu changed, as if he was looking at a stranger.
“Brother, why do you look at me like this?” Confucius asked in confusion.
“Brother Qiu, you would never have used these conspiracies before.” Kong Xuan said with a complicated look.
Confucius was speechless.
In the past, Confucius was undoubtedly a gentleman. In terms of morality and integrity, he held himself to the standards of a saint. But later he discovered that benevolence, righteousness, and morality could not change Confucianism.
Saints cannot save Confucianism, but "villains" can.
Therefore, from the moment Confucius decided to reform Confucianism, he was no longer the same person as before.
Zhu Xi took Liu Ping and Sima Yi and was about to cross Xuanwu Street when he noticed two figures appearing in front of him. He immediately said to Liu Ping behind him: "Your Highness, hold on tight."
"Um."
After hearing Liu Ping's response, Zhu Xi not only did not slow down, but accelerated his speed, apparently preparing to jump directly over the two men.
But when he got closer and saw the faces of the two people, Zhu Xi's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly stopped, not daring to take a step forward.
Liu Ping and Sima Yi both looked at Confucius and Kong Xuan in front of them with doubts. They didn't understand who these two people were, who could stop the great master Zhu Xi.
Liu Ping and Sima Yi didn't know Confucius and Kong Xuan, how could Zhu Xi not know them, and these two great masters were standing in front of him, one of them was a Confucian protector whose combat power far exceeded his own level, Zhu Xi just didn't want to stop. Have to stop.
Zhu Xi didn't understand why Confucius and Kong Xuan stopped him, and immediately asked: "What do the leaders and protectors mean? Are they going to attack me?"
Liu Ping and Sima Yi were shocked when they heard this. The only person who could be called such by Zhu Xi was Confucius, the leader of the new Confucianists. But Confucius and Zhu Xi were both Confucians, so why did they come to embarrass them?
Confucius smiled calmly and said: "Master Zhu misunderstood. How dare Confucius fight against Master Zhu? He was just here to help the court arrest two rebels at Master Jia's invitation.
As soon as Master Zhu handed over these two men, Confucius immediately turned around and left. "
Zhu Xi's expression suddenly changed and he said: "These two people are related to the survival of the Han Dynasty and cannot be left to you. Besides, there is no rebellion here."
A flash of light flashed in Kongqiu's eyes, and then a look of doubt appeared.
He naturally would not think that Sima Yi would affect the survival of the Han Dynasty, so the person Zhu Xi mentioned was naturally the substitute, but he was just a substitute, so what qualifications did he have to affect the survival of the Han Dynasty?
Could it be that Zhu Xi was prepared to refuse to acknowledge His Majesty's death and wanted this impostor to continue to impersonate His Majesty?
No, this kind of lie that can be exposed as soon as it is exposed will not last long at all. Zhu Xi would not be so unwise.
But what is the reason?
In an instant, Confucius thought a lot, but he did not think about the fact that Liu Ping and Liu Xie were twin brothers. Although Confucius was also a wise man, he was not a counselor who was good at calculations. Although he had a lot of calculations in his mind, there was still a gap between him and counselors like Jia Xu. Thought for a moment.
After thinking hard to no avail, Confucius could only temporarily suppress his doubts and said: "Master Zhu, you are making things difficult for Qiu.
Your Imperial Party members know best what Mr. Jia is like. If Qiu goes back empty-handed, there is no guarantee that Mr. Jia will not give me Confucian shoes to wear. Master Zhu, don’t you even care about Confucianism? "
Confucius adhered to the principle of not taking action when he could talk, but tried to delay as much time as possible with Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi didn't dare to rush over. After all, a Kongqiu could stop him, not to mention that there was a Kong Xuan present. If these two people were determined not to let him pass, he would definitely not be able to rush through unless he burned up his inner strength. .
Realizing that the three auras from behind were really approaching quickly, Zhu Xi realized that the pursuers were about to catch up, so he quickly begged Confucius, hoping that he would give way to the Confucianists for the sake of his hard work and no credit. People leave.
Confucius did not want Zhu Xi to die, so how could he give way? Naturally, he looked at other things and racked his brains to continue to delay time.
Zhu Xi became anxious and said angrily: "Confucius, do you really want me to kneel down and beg you?"
Confucius smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhu, can Qiu kneel down and beg you? Don't drag the entire Confucian school into trouble because of two unrelated people."
“You are trying to force me to death.” Zhu Xi gritted his teeth.
Confucius simply shut up and didn't answer. Ah Qing and the other three had already caught up, so there was no need to delay.
Zhu Xi's eyes were filled with anger, and he glared at Confucius and said, "Confucius, it was you who destroyed the great Han."
“Master Zhu is serious.”
After saying something lightly, Confucius and Kong Xuan moved out of the way, but Zhu Xi no longer dared to pass by.
“Get started.”
With a loud shout, Ah Qing took the lead and stabbed Zhu Xi. Qin Yijue and Pei Ju also immediately attacked.
If Zhu Xi were alone, he would not be afraid of the siege of the three half-step masters, but he still had to protect Liu Ping and Sima Yi, so he would be reluctant to attack the three half-step masters.
In order to protect Liu Ping's safety, Zhu Xi had to resist A Qing's sword.
The power of Ah Qing's sword is completely different from Fan Lihua's.
A Qing is a half-step grand master and can already use local Gang Qi, and her sword naturally contains Gang Qi.
Although Zhu Xi has a Gang Qi armor to protect his body, facing A Qing's sword that also uses Gang Qi, the defensive effect is naturally not that good.
Ah Qing's sword directly shattered Zhu Xi's Gangqi armor. The long sword cut through his clothes and then pierced his skin. It penetrated three inches deep into the flesh and almost cut off Zhu Xi's left arm at shoulder level.
If Zhu Xi hadn't reacted quickly and kicked Ah Qing away, his left arm might no longer be there.
