Chapter 91 Zhang Liang returns to Shengxianzhuang
As the days passed, many people of unknown origin gradually appeared in Sanghai City. Confucian disciples would report the situation in the city to Fu Nian every day.
"Are you saying that Zhang Han has brought people to Sanghai first?" Fu Nian, who was chatting with Su Yu, said after hearing the report from the disciples below.
"Yes, Master, Zhang Han's troops are about 2,000 people, and they are now stationed outside Sanghai City. The disciples rushed back as soon as they saw it." The disciple said.
"Okay, I know, you go down." Fu Nian said.
"Brother, it seems that Fusu will be here soon." Yan Lu said. Zhang Han went ahead, obviously for safety, to make preparations in advance.
"Sorry, Su Zi, I'm afraid I won't have time to greet you these days." Fu Nian said to Su Yu.
"It's okay, Master, you can go first if you have something to do. Xiao Shengxian Manor can use me again, so you don't have to be polite." Su Yu said.
"Thank you, Su Zi." Fu Nian was overjoyed. With Su Yu's promise, he was more confident to face Fusu.
Then everyone continued to discuss poetry and songs. After a while, Xunzi also joined in. This old man has been very happy every day recently. He came to Su Yu on time, just like a student going to school.
Lu Xiaofeng and Jiang Ni were too bored, so they went to Sanghai City to hang out. As for Yue Shen, she disappeared early this morning. Su Yu knew that she should have gone to find someone from the Yin-Yang family, so she didn't ask much.
At this time, a horse carrying a young man with a refined and handsome appearance galloped towards Xiaoshengxianzhuang. When the passing disciples saw the man on the horse, they all stepped aside and bowed to the roadside.
At the gate of Xiaojuxianzhuang, Liang Mu was still guarding the gate honestly. Unlike usual times, he swept away his decadence at this time and regarded guarding the gate as a glorious and great cause.
"Huh? This is..."
Liang Mu looked around Ma Ti Shengchuan. After he saw the person clearly, he quickly tidied his clothes and then walked forward respectfully and pulled the reins.
"Student Liang Mu greets his uncle." Liang Mu said.
"Liang Mu? Why are you guarding the gate here?" After getting off his horse, the visitor looked around and showed a trace of doubt. In the past, the people guarding the gate here were all new Confucian disciples. Liang Mu actually had a high status in Confucianism, so why was he guarding the gate here?
"Replying to Uncle Master, there are only humble people in the world, but no humble jobs. The value of a person lies in himself, not in the job he does. No matter what job, a person's mentality, personality, temperament, cultivation, and talent can be fully revealed. In the students' opinion, guarding the gate is an important job that the master has given to the disciples. It can train the disciples to behave and treat people, and there is nothing wrong with it." Liang Mu explained seriously.
The visitor opened his mouth in surprise, with an incredible look on his face.
"You kid has opened your mind."
This person is the third junior brother of Fu Nian and Yan Lu, Zhang Liang, who is known as the Three Heroes of Qi and Lu, and is also the third head of the Confucian Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
"By the way, are the senior brothers here?" Zhang Liang asked.
"The master and others are chatting with Su Zi in the reception building." Liang Mu said hurriedly.
"Su Zi? I've heard a lot of rumors about this person recently. Humph, is he just pretending to be a ghost or is he really as powerful as the legend says? I want to see." Zhang Liang snorted coldly and walked towards the manor.
"..." Liang Mu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he could only shake his head helplessly. He didn't know the temperament of his uncle master yet, and it was useless to persuade him. He believed that he would soon be convinced by Su Zi.
Zhang Liang entered Xiaoshengxian Manor and ignored those students. Instead, he went directly to the library. He wanted to see whether the two couplets were really as magical as the rumors said.
"Uncle master."
"Uncle master."
The disciples gathered at the door of the library saluted Zhang Liang after seeing him.
"Why cover it with red silk?" Zhang Liang said.
"Uncle master, the teacher has ordered that only ten students can watch it together every hour, and the rest of the time it must be covered." One of the students responsible for maintaining order said.
Zhang Liang turned around and looked around. As expected, except for the ten people facing here, the rest of the people were kneeling on the ground with their backs facing away and waiting.
"Open it, let me see it." Zhang Liang said directly.
The disciple heard Zhang Liang's bad tone and hesitated for a moment, then looked at a disciple beside him, who immediately understood and left the library.
"Open it." Zhang Liang continued.
"Yes." The man had no choice but to slowly pull the red scroll open.
"There is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way; there is no end to the sea of learning, and hard work is the boat." Zhang Liang couldn't help but recite.
"Boom..."
Suddenly Zhang Liang felt that his spirit was in a trance, as if he was about to faint. Then he was shocked and hurriedly used his power to resist. After a while, the feeling disappeared.
"Good poem, but it's a pity that it has been cast into a sorcery." Zhang Liang turned around and looked at the couplet and said, at this time he no longer had the feeling he had at the first glance.
"Uncle Master, this is not a sorcery, this is a fantasy of literary energy that can prompt the understanding of the person who sees it." The famous disciple quickly refuted.
"Absurd." After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he jumped up and was about to destroy the words on the pillar.
"Uncle Master, don't..." The disciple was so frightened that he shouted loudly.
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, the couplet emitted a white light, and after a loud noise, Zhang Liang, who was jumping in the air, was repelled by an inexplicable energy. He retreated dozens of meters in the air before slowly falling down.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?" A scolding voice came.
It turned out that it was Fu Nian and Yan Lu who arrived and saw the scene where Zhang Liang was repelled. The two immediately understood what happened.
Zhang Liang fell from the sky, looked at the library in doubt, then walked to Fu Nian and the other two, bowed and said.
"Hello, two brothers."
"Okay, don't do this, I want to ask you, what were you doing just now?" Fu Nian continued.
Zhang Liang frowned, then replied.
"I saw that there was a secret hidden in the two words, so I tried it out. Sure enough, senior brother, you may have been tricked." Zhang Liang said.
Fu Nian and Yan Lu heard this, and their faces changed immediately. Although Zhang Liang was their junior brother, because he was much younger than them, they actually treated him as their own child more often and always doted on him, but now the two of them also showed a hint of anger.
"Don't be rude, junior brother, how can you be so impulsive." Yan Lu said hurriedly.
"How can a scholar like me be deceived by these charlatans? Senior Brother, I see you have stayed in Xiaoshengxianzhuang for too long, and you are so easy to trust others. In my opinion, that Su Zi is just a charlatan who knows some evil tricks." Zhang Liang said with an expression that he had seen through everything.
"Bold." Suddenly, a roar of anger came from the horizon.
Then, a murderous intention came, and a giant sword suddenly appeared in the sky. A woman floated next to the shadow, and it was Jiang Ni.
"Dare to offend the young master, damn it." Jiang Ni said, and waved his hand. The giant sword condensed by the true energy in the air immediately flew quickly towards where Zhang Liang was.
"Girl, don't." Fu Nian shouted loudly, but it was useless.
"Junior Brother, be careful." Yan Lu also hurriedly came to Zhang Liang and started to practice, intending to block it with him.
Zhang Liang also saw that this sword was quite powerful, so he quickly took off the Lingxu Sword from his waist, and then a sword energy broke through the air and rushed towards Jiang Ni's sword energy. However, Zhang Liang's sword energy was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and was shattered in an instant, and the sword energy continued to fly towards Zhang Liang.
Fu Nian was horrified at this time. This sword was so powerful that the entire library would be destroyed if it fell.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Go." It was Su Yu who came. He saw him pinch the sword formula with two fingers, and a sword energy came out of his hand.
"Swish..."
"Boom..."
The two sword energies made a loud noise in the air, shaking the people below as if they were wet in the calamity, and their ears were slightly painful.
"Su Zi." Fu Nian was overjoyed.
"Young Master." Jiang Ni's face changed, and then he quickly flew in front of Su Yu.
"Young Master, Jiang Ni offended me." Jiang Ni lowered his head and said.
"Oh my god, big sister, you scared me to death." At this time, Lu Xiaofeng also ran over breathlessly.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future. What if you hurt innocent people?" Su Yu said.
"Yes, Jiang Ni knows her mistake." Jiang Ni said hurriedly.
"Sorry, I scared you." Su Yu turned around and said to Fu Nian and others, and then her eyes fell on Zhang Liang, who was stunned.
"It's too outrageous." An old voice came, it was Xunzi who came. He walked straight to Zhang Liang and scolded him.
"You have read the Confucian classics in vain. Have you forgotten the teachings of the saints? If you want to establish yourself, you must first establish others. If you want to achieve yourself, you must first achieve others. You don't know right from wrong, and you make rash decisions based on your own ideas. Zhang Liang, you disappoint me very much."
"Uncle, I was wrong." Zhang Liang bowed and apologized quickly. He didn't dare to be rude in front of Xunzi.
"Su Zi, don't blame this girl. She is eager to protect her master, and it is right. I am here to accompany you." Xunzi said and was about to bow and apologize.
"Master, there is no need to be so magnanimous. Su Yu raised his hand to stop Xunzi and said.
"Is this Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang? He is indeed a handsome man." Su Yu said.
Zhang Liang was very embarrassed when he heard it. He just said that he was a liar, but he didn't seem to care, which made him look like a villain.
Su Yu didn't say much, and then left the library with his hands behind his back. Jiang Ni and Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly followed.
"You..." After Su Yu walked away, Fu Wan couldn't help but point at Zhang Liang, and then hurriedly caught up with Su Yu.
"Huh..." Xun Kuang glared at Zhang Liang and left.
"Junior brother, you are too impulsive." Yan Lu walked to Zhang Liang's side, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Senior brother, who is this person? Why is he so powerful." Zhang Liang recalled Jiang Ni's terrifying sword just now, and asked with lingering fear.
"Su Zi, we don't know his origins, but he is definitely not what you think. What kind of swindler is he? Do you think we are really that stupid? Fortunately, he didn't bother with you. Hiss, it was the first time I saw Su Zi take action. I'm afraid that none of us three brothers could block the sword of that girl just now, but Su Zi blocked it with just a light touch. It's incredible." Yan Lu said.
"I, I heard too many legends about him along the way. Those things are really too bizarre, so I preconceived that he was a liar, but I didn't expect..." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.
"Let's go, it's better not to say more. You will know what kind of person he is after more contact." Yan Lu said, pulling Zhang Liang away.
