Chapter 148: How Can Flowers in the Garden Survive?

Fusu thought for a moment and said, "I have heard of the stories of 'Oranges grow in the south of the Huai River, while citrons grow in the north of the Huai River' and 'Mencius's mother moved three times'.

Whether it is a person or a plant, they will change according to where they are.

Therefore, people are easily changed by acquired factors.

I have also heard that it is difficult to change one's nature, just as oranges and citrons will not change their nature of liking water just because the environment changes.

If human nature is good at birth, why is it like this..."

Gongsun Ce looked at Fusu who was talking eloquently. Although his words had many loopholes, so many that any Confucian scholar could have left Fusu speechless.

However, ignoring that body of muscles, Fusu is only nine years old after all, and it is already very good to have this understanding.

Gongsun Ce looked at Ying Zheng standing beside him and found that Ying Zheng's eyes were full of satisfaction.

"A Zheng, Fusu's knowledge is already good. Next I want to test his martial arts. Do you still want to watch?"

Ying Zheng nodded subconsciously, "A man of the Great Qin should be both civil and military. Please feel free to teach me, sir."

When Gongsun Ce stood up, he realized a problem. Why didn't he take the martial arts test first? Fusu's clothes were very troublesome to put on and take off.

However, Fusu was obviously used to putting on and taking off this robe.

Fusu followed Gongsun Ce out of the study and came to the open space outside the study.

Fusu practiced the hard Qigong passed down from the ancestors of the Qin State. Internal Qigong and hard Qigong were circulated among the royal families of the seven countries.

Wei Yi, the great master of the Wei State, learned the hard qigong that was passed down among the royal family of the Wei State.

Of course, these hard qigong are not necessarily qigong, they also have some wonderful side effects, which are of course benign.

Unfortunately, South Korea's foundation was insufficient, and the King of Han hardly practiced hard Qigong, which resulted in King Han An losing the relevant abilities early on.

Outside the study, Fusu clenched his fists, bent his feet slightly, and was ready to go.

His muscles trembled slightly in the sunlight, as if hiding infinite power.

"drink!"

With a low shout, Fusu suddenly rushed towards Gongsun Ce, his fists and feet as fast as the wind and with the force of a storm.

After Gongsun Ce looked Fusu up and down, he could be sure that Fusu had now reached the second-rate level.

Being able to practice hard qigong to this level at this age, Fusu will definitely reach the level of a grandmaster in the future.

Facing Fusu's fierce attack, Gongsun Ce curled up a smile.

He moved his body and easily dodged Fusu's attack, floating away like a falling leaf.

Although Fusu's attack was fierce, it was disorganized. Moreover, Fusu's realm was too low. Even if Gongsun Ce did not dodge, Fusu still could not hurt Gongsun Ce.

However, Gongsun Ce's purpose was to teach Fusu martial arts.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce's steps became lighter and lighter. He sometimes dodged sideways, sometimes retreated to avoid, and each time he avoided Fusu's attack just right.

It seemed that Fusu's fist could hit Gongsun Ce if it moved forward just a few centimeters.

But this distance of a few centimeters is like an insurmountable chasm.

When Fusu saw that the attack was easily resolved, he couldn't help feeling powerless.

Fusu knew very well that Gongsun Ce's strength was unfathomable, but he never thought that he would not even be able to touch the corner of Gongsun Ce's clothes.

After all, the deep palace limited Fusu's horizons, so Gongsun Ce had already thought of taking Fusu out to broaden his horizons.

In the battle to destroy Zhao, the great master of Zhao will definitely take action, which will be a good opportunity for Fusu to broaden his horizons.

The battle between grandmasters just made Fusu understand the horror of the grandmaster realm.

Fusu's punches and kicks became more and more powerful, and each strike contained all his strength.

However, Gongsun Ce still dodged with ease, as if he was playing a game of cat and mouse with Fusu.

But Fusu knew that Gongsun Ce was not teasing him, but was guiding his attack with subtle techniques.

Gongsun Ce's figure swayed left and right, forward and backward in the sunlight, making it so that Fusu's attacks were always just a hair's breadth away.

Fusu repeatedly felt the powerlessness of hitting the air with all his strength, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

He felt Gongsun Ce's guidance and also felt the improvement in his martial arts.

This instruction did not last long because Fusu's true energy was limited. Soon, Fusu stopped attacking, panting.

He looked at Gongsun Ce tiredly, his eyes full of respect and gratitude.

"Thank you Mr. Gongsun for your guidance!"

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Your hard Qigong is already good for your age, but you still need to continue to hone it."

After saying this, Gongsun Ce patted Fusu on the head and left the Xianyang Palace.

After Ying Zheng watched Gongsun Ce leave, he walked over to the panting Fusu.

Gongsun Ce's assessment of Fusu has ended, but Ying Zheng's assessment of Fusu has not yet begun.

But Ying Zheng's test only had one question, "Fusu."

"Father!"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and pointed to the garden not far away, "Fusu, if the garden ahead is the one you have carefully taken care of.

But one day, I order you to pluck one of the flowers. Will you choose the ugliest one or the most beautiful one? "

Ying Zheng intended to test Fusu's imperial intentions. If it were Ying Zheng, he would naturally choose to pluck out the ugliest flower.

Because he loves perfection, the entire Xianyang must be his favorite color - black.

Naturally, there could be no ugly flowers in his garden.

Fusu thought for a moment and replied to Ying Zheng, "All!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, "Why?"

Fusu swore, "If I cannot protect every one of my people in the face of danger, I will choose to fight to the death."

Ying Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Fusu to understand his hidden meaning. The garden is the country and the flowers are the people.

What Ying Zheng wanted was to transform his people into the perfect existence in his mind little by little, or even eliminate imperfect existence.

Fusu's perspective, however, is how to face danger when it comes and how to protect every citizen, but Fusu also has the courage to fight to the death.

Ying Zheng realized that there was a problem with his and Fusu's ideas on governing the country.

The inner sage and outer kingly character was ultimately embodied in Fusu.

Ying Zheng sighed in his heart and then left.

Fusu tilted his head and looked at Ying Zheng's leaving back, feeling a little confused, but this did not affect Fusu's progress in self-improvement.

Fusu tied the huge rock around his waist again to temper himself.

The next afternoon, in Yongdi, Gongshujia's residence.

Yongdi is not only the ancestral land of the Ying family, there are also many mineral veins outside Yongcheng, including a bronze vein.

So Gongshujia's new residence was near the bronze mine outside Yongcheng.

“First, the bronze figures that replace the soldiers can perform a variety of simple actions, such as holding weapons, sweeping, and falling down.

Secondly, the terrain on the bronze base can change, such as rivers changing direction, mountains becoming plains, and plains becoming cities.

Finally, although I personally think it is unlikely, can we try to make a mechanism to simulate the weather, such as rainy, sunny and other simulated weather?

Master Gongshu, how likely do you think it is to make this kind of bronze mechanism?"

Gongshu Chou felt a bit of a headache when listening to the various requests made by Gongsun Ce, but his blood was burning with passion as he felt that it was necessary for him to take action personally because the situation was extremely difficult.

Gongshu Chou stroked his goatee and said, "Except for the weather, everything else should be fine."

Gongsun Ce then asked, "Master Gongshu, you know something about my abilities. I can easily shape bronze. If you have my help, can you make it more delicate?"

Gongshu Chou pondered for a moment, then asked Gongsun Ce, "What does General Gongsun mean by more detailed?"

"For example, we can add some blood bags to the bronze figures, let them shoot arrows, etc., just to make everything more realistic."

Gongshu Chou thought for a moment and nodded, "It should be possible. Please ask General Gongsun to make the bronze doll according to my request first."

Gongsun Ce and Gongshu Chou walked into the smelting room. Gongshu Chou simply drew a diagram of the structure of the bronze doll and handed it to Gongsun Ce, "Please ask General Gongsun to make the bronze doll according to the drawing."

Word Spirit: Blazing
Gongsun Ce walked to the smelting table and waved his hand lightly. A blazing flame rose from his palm and instantly enveloped the bronze in front of him.

The flames burned fiercely, and the bronze gradually melted in the hot flames, turning into a pool of boiling liquid. Then bursts of bronze steam rose up and filled the air.

Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King

Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression focused and calm.

He waved his hand again, and a breeze flowed out from his fingertips, gently wrapping the rising bronze steam.

The breeze was as gentle as silk, pulling and shaping the bronze steam, and it began to slowly change according to Gongsun Ce's wishes.

As time went by, the bronze vapor gradually condensed and took shape, transforming into lifelike bronze figures.

These little men are of sturdy build, with resolute faces, and they exude a faint bronze luster.

They stood neatly on the smelting table, like an army waiting to go to war.

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and flicked his fingers, and an invisible force completely cooled down the bronze man.

As cooling is completed, the bronze figures become harder and more realistic.

The heavy armor, light armor, infantry, cavalry and other equipment on them are clearly visible, and the various types of troops are further subdivided into archers, shield bearers and other categories. Each category has its own characteristics and is lifelike.

At this moment, the war simulator that Gongsun Ce hoped to refine has been initially completed.

Gongshu Chou picked up a bronze man and found that the limbs of these 30-centimeter-tall bronze men could move freely, and there was a hole in the chest, which was big enough to hold a small blood bag.

These bronze figures can perform some anthropomorphic actions and can even bleed after being stabbed in the heart.

Then, Gongshu Chou was somewhat surprised to find that there were some tubular holes shaped like tendons and veins in the body of the bronze man. Gongshu Chou was unconsciously a little shocked.

He saw that this was Gongsun Ce's improvement. With this improvement, these bronze figures could even sweat.

"I admire the talent of General Gongsun. Such an ingenious idea makes me feel ashamed of myself."

Gongsun Ce waved his hand. "It's just a small detail, not worth mentioning. But how should the remaining mechanism be constructed?"

Gongshu Chou thought for a moment, and found a lot of blueprints from the side of the smelting table, all of which were blueprints of bronze parts. "I have a certain amount of these parts in stock, but they may not be enough.

So if there are any missing parts, please ask General Gongsun to help build them. In addition, the landscape structure corresponding to the terrain also requires General Gongsun's assistance in building it."
