Chapter 2: Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the dead

Gongsun Ce stretched out on the ground, "Look at this useless guy."

Gongsun Ce turned over, planning to sleep where he fell.

At this moment, a pair of boots suddenly appeared in front of Gongsun Ce, "What familiar boots."

The old man lowered his head, "What a familiar face."

Not long after, Gongsun Ce sat on the stone steps outside the Gongsun family with a worried look on his face, "Where can I find a sucker who is willing to pay for my two meals? Mia, mia..."

As everyone in the Gongsun family knows, Gongsun Ce is pitiful, helpless, weak, and a big eater.

Gongsun Ce quickly finished the lamb leg he had just picked up from the kitchen and said something harsh to the locked door, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the dead!"

Come to think of it, thirty years plus thirty years, he is at least sixty years old, how can he be called a teenager.

"Why is Tongming standing at the door in a daze?"

Gongsun Ce saw who was coming and thought that he was really sleepy, so he gave him a pillow.

The young man leading the horse in front of him is named Yue Xing. His father is a minor official under the Internal History of Zhao, but he has plenty of benefits and is a great victim.

Gongsun Ce waved his hand and said, "I hit someone at the debate, and the elders asked me to go on a study tour to learn my lesson."

"Hahahaha, in that case, do you want to go to Sanghai with me? Xiaoshengxianzhuang is recruiting students."

Gongsun Ce was a little surprised, "Do you have a letter of recommendation?"

Yue Xing shook his head. "No, this time, the enrollment of Xiaoshengxianzhuang is based on academic knowledge. Having a recommendation letter can only be said to be a certain help."

"Okay, let's go. By the way, what about board and lodging? And horses?"

Yue Xing patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of it! Three meals a day and a horse."

Gongsun Ce's eyes flickered, he was indeed a perfect sucker.

Soon, Yue Xing took Gongsun Ce to buy horses, left the city, and went to Xiaoshengxianzhuang in Sanghai, Qi State.

The two men rode on the official road, chatting about the test questions that Xiaoshengxianzhuang might ask.

"Tongming, I think this time it must be a test of the six arts of a gentleman."

Gongsun Ce yawned, "Why do you think so?"

"How can a scholar not know this?"

Gongsun Ce asked Yue Xing, "What are you good at?"

Yue Xing collapsed, Gongsun Ce's mouth twitched, knowing that he had touched Yue Xing's sore spot, "Then what can't you do?"

Yue Xing straightened his chest and said proudly, "There are only two things I can't do."

Then Yue Xing collapsed again, "It won't work this way, and it won't work that way."

"Hiss!" Gongsun Ce took a breath of cold air, "We are now on the official road, but it may not be the case later. There are many bandits and wild beasts on the small roads."

Suddenly, a small road branched off in front of the official road. Yue Xing took out the map and took a look at it. "Tongming, your words are so effective.

We can catch up with the test paper of Xiaoshengxianzhuang by taking the small road, but it will take two more days to take the official road. "

Gongsun Ce rolled his eyes and said, "You are really brave. Let's go. With my many years of experience in hand-to-hand combat, I guarantee that the beasts will never be able to defeat me. After all, they can't even speak.

Don’t panic if you encounter bandits, I promise I can…”

Gongsun Ce paused, and Yue Xing hurriedly asked, "What can you do? Defeat your opponent, like a knight-errant?"

Gongsun Ce said dejectedly, "I guarantee that we can irritate them and give us a quick death."

"what?"

Yue Xing had not expected this to be the guarantee. Gongsun Ce suddenly became curious, "Didn't your father spend money to hire a guard for you?"

Yue Xing's face fell again, "I ran away secretly, I only brought a lot of money and nothing else."

Gongsun Ce blinked his eyes and said, “When you meet a tiger later, feed it money and see if you can choke it to death.” Gongsun Ce was not joking. The currency of this era was generally metal. If a tiger swallowed it, it might be scratched inside and cause infection.

When they reached a valley, they suddenly heard a deep tiger roar, shaking the mountains and forests.

Then, a white-browed tiger jumped out from the woods and blocked their way.

Yue Xing was frightened so much that his face turned pale. He drew the sword from his waist, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the sword steadily.

However, Gongsun Ce's expression remained normal, his dragon blood was boiling, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and his golden pupils appeared for the first time.

Gongsun Ce stared at the white-browed tiger, and a powerful pressure emanated from him, as if an invisible force was suppressing the tiger.

The originally ferocious aura of the white-browed tiger instantly dissipated under Gongsun Ce's gaze.

It felt the powerful aura emanating from Gongsun Ce and couldn't help but tremble, lying on the ground and not daring to move.

This is blood suppression, unless the tiger in front of you has dragon blood and is in a state of blood rampage.

Otherwise, it is destined to be afraid of Gongsun Ce's golden eyes. Gongsun Ce smiled slightly and spoke to Yue Xing beside him.

"Brother Yue, it looks like we can get through safely today."

After saying that, he put away his golden pupils and walked forward, but found that he couldn't pull the reins. Gongsun Ce's horse was not a good one.

Frightened by Gongsun Ce's golden eyes, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Although Yue Xing's horse was kneeling on the ground, it was able to stand up tremblingly after Gongsun Ce put away his golden eyes.

"Tsk."

Gongsun Ce let out a light sigh, then shifted his gaze to the trembling tiger beside him.

Gongsun Ce looked at Yue Xing beside him and asked, "Which is happier, riding a horse or riding a tiger?"

Yue Xing guessed what Gongsun Ce was going to do and his expression was a little subtle, "Do you want to ride it?"

Gongsun Ce glanced at the tiger, and the tiger understood Gongsun Ce's look. It slowly stood up, came to Gongsun Ce, lay down, and asked Gongsun Ce to get on the tiger.

"Hey! I planted this tree, I opened this mountain. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for passage!"

A very classic opening line. Gongsun Ce saw two bandits jumping out from the bushes nearby.

Then the two bandits holding sickles saw Gongsun Ce's mount and said, "Big brother, there's an old tiger."

"hiss!"

The two bandits knelt down before Gongsun Ce on the spot and said, "Big brother, I have an 80-year-old mother crying and an 8-year-old child crying. Please let us go."

Gongsun Ce glanced at the blood on the sickle and said, "Next time you make up a lie, clear the evidence first."

Gongsun Ce then opened his mouth and uttered an obscure tone, "Spirit of Words. Dark Thunder."

"Puff! Boom!"

Two streams of air turned into bullets that pierced through the hearts of the two bandits, followed by an explosion.

The two bandits who were alive just now were now flying all over the sky.

Yue Xing looked at the bandits who suddenly filled the ground in front of him with a bewildered look on his face, his excitement evident on his face.

"Tongming, is this witchcraft?"

Gongsun Ce neither admitted nor denied, "Just take it as it is."

For the first time in his life, Gongsun Ce felt that he had adapted to this era.

Two living people died in front of him, and there was only a vague feeling of brutality in his heart. Perhaps it was the influence of dragon blood, or perhaps it was just his nature.

Yue Xing was only nineteen years old, or even not yet an adult, and when he saw the passing of life, he felt no disgust or nausea, only excitement and curiosity.

Finally, the two of them arrived at Sanghai in Qi before the test at Xiaoshengxianzhuang began.
