Chapter 47: Yuci Sword Master? Sword Master from Children's Palace!
The so-called inner sage and outer king means to implement benevolent policies internally to demonstrate the virtue of a sage, and to implement the kingly way externally to protect peace and prosperity in the world.
Simply put, it means treating the subjects under your rule better and being more domineering towards foreigners.
It’s a simple logic, but it’s difficult to do well.
Gongsun Ce suddenly thought of something and asked with some interest, "Brother Wei Zhuang, did you tell Gai Nie the location of your room?"
Wei Zhuang reacted and realized that Gongsun Ce had just said that he liked tests.
This was a good opportunity to test Gai Nie, and Wei Zhuang immediately became interested.
"No. Since you are interested, let me make a bet with you. I bet that my senior brother can find my room first."
Gongsun Ce's next words surprised Wei Zhuang, "I bet Gai Nie will come to see me first."
"Oh? We'll see."
As the night fell, a young man in white clothes and a black gauze scarf slowly walked into the Zilan Pavilion, which was incompatible with his temperament.
Zi Nu noticed Gai Nie's existence and subconsciously determined his identity.
As we all know, Guiguzi's sect is good at raising the King of Force.
Li Wu, who was dancing on the stage, also noticed Gai Nie. As the number one swordsman beside King Ying Zheng of Qin, Gai Nie's portrait was widely circulated in Xianyang.
"Is this guest visiting Zi Lan Xuan for the first time?"
Gai Nie nodded gently, "It's my first time here, but I'm here to look for someone."
After saying that, Gai Nie walked past Zi Nu and went upstairs, walked straight to Gongsun Ce's room, and knocked on the door gently.
"boom!"
As Gongsun Ce waved his hand, the Word Spirit·Yin Lei was activated. A slight explosion was heard and the wooden door was pushed open without damaging it.
Gongsun Ce sat on one side of the chessboard, picked up the black piece and knocked on the board, shattering the candle that had melted and cooled and condensed on the board.
"Brother Gai Nie, how are you?"
Gai Nie closed the door naturally, walked to Gongsun Ce, and bowed, "Please."
Wei Zhuang, who was sitting in his room wiping the shark's teeth, froze in his expression. He was Gai Nie's biological fellow apprentice!
Gai Nie tacitly agreed that Gongsun Ce would play the black pieces first, and Gongsun Ce did not hesitate and placed the first piece on Tianyuan.
There was no surprise on Gai Nie's face. There is an old saying in Go: "Gold edges and silver leaves on the grass belly". Placing a piece at the center of the field at the beginning is equivalent to giving the opponent a piece.
Victory is unfair, and loss is shameful.
"Tongming is still the same."
When Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie met for the first time, Gai Nie was six years old and Gongsun Ce was five years old.
Next to the two of them was the platform for the famous debate conference and the crowd watching the fun.
Gai Nie used a branch to draw a chessboard on the ground, and the two men used stones as chess pieces to play chess.
Unfortunately, the two had only that one chance to play chess against each other, and later Gai Nie went to Guigu to learn martial arts.
Gongsun Ce was still trapped in the Gongsun family, an orphan without a father or mother, and he chose his own name.
Gongsun Ce shrugged. "I am suspicious by nature. I always want to see if you are still a friend."
Gai Nie gave birth to a child, "Some people are naturally compatible with each other, and they can get along well even if they only meet once."
"For example, the one you and I are guarding?"
Gai Nie remained calm and continued to make moves, "He asked me about you, and I told him the truth."
"A reputation for beating people when you can argue, and beating people when you can't argue?"
"if not?"
Gongsun Ce chuckled, "Haha, he must be very disappointed."
"Do you believe it yourself?"
Gongsun Ce looked at Gai Nie and was stunned for a few minutes before he said, "As expected, you are a close friend who we only met once."
Gongsun Ce felt that Ying Zheng should like his way of doing things.
The bigger the fist, the more powerful it is. This is very useful to Ying Zheng. Gai Nie also thinks so, otherwise he would not have come to Gongsun Ce in the first place.
Compared with people of this era, Gongsun Ce has a characteristic, that is, he loves to take a bath and wash his hair. The room with the strongest smell of soapberry must be Gongsun Ce's room.
Gai Nie: I came here because I smelled the scent.
"Yuci Sword Saint, have you ever thought about what the future of the Zongheng family would be if the world were unified?"
Compared with Yuci, Nie Village where Gai Nie is located is a small place, and the title of Yuci Sword Saint is horizontally compared with the Sword Saint of the Children's Palace.
It was not until Gai Nie became an apprentice under Guiguzi and returned to Yuci to live for a period of time that this title began to have real meaning.
Otherwise, Jing Ke would not have gone to Yuci to meet Gai Nie on his way to travel around the countries.
The corners of Gai Nie's mouth twitched slightly, "The unification of the world is a good thing for the people."
Gongsun Ce nodded and did not dwell on this question any further. "Is he living inside or outside the city now?"
Gai Nie gestured inside the city, Gongsun Ce picked up the chess piece and raised the little finger of his right hand to point outside Zi Lan Xuan, and then pointed to the first floor of Zi Lan Xuan.
"Your plan is full of dangers and hidden dangers."
Gai Nie raised his hand and made a move, "Choose the lesser of two evils."
"really."
If Ying Zheng came directly to Zilanxuan, it would be tantamount to walking into a trap (Ba Linglong, Yanri).
When Gai Nie arrives and takes Gongsun Ce and Han Fei to see Ying Zheng, the risk factor is undoubtedly much smaller.
Gongsun Ce tapped the chess piece on the chessboard and asked, "What's the weather like tonight?"
"It was a clear and sunny day."
Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie simply finalized the rules and decided to meet Ying Zheng tonight.
"Hiding in secret, the world is united, I admire you."
Gongsun Ce's Tianyuan skill came into play at the last moment and turned the tide.
As soon as Gai Nie finished speaking, Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie disappeared in the room, and only the open window confirmed the path they took to leave.
Wei Zhuang wiped the shark's teeth, sighed, walked out of the room and stared at Li Wu downstairs.
Li Wu felt Wei Zhuang's gaze from upstairs, and her purpose of leaving Zilanxuan failed.
Behind Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie, a figure in snow-white clothes kept chasing them.
"Bai Feng, one of the leaders of Ji Wuye's assassin organization."
Gongsun Ce casually introduced Bai Feng's identity to Gai Nie. Gai Nie glanced at Bai Feng's tender face and said, "Her talent for Qinggong is unparalleled in the world."
Gongsun Ce nodded, "You are young, but your Qinggong skills are not inferior to ours."
Gai Nie suddenly felt that something was stolen, but he quickly reacted, "Do it?"
Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Someone will stop him for us."
"Kakakaka..."
A sound like a chain shaking was heard, and the red soft sword suddenly shot out from Bai Feng's side, blocking Bai Feng's forward trajectory.
Zi Nu's graceful figure appeared beside Bai Feng, "Sorry, this road is blocked."
The moonlight was hazy, and in the quiet night, Bai Feng's white dress seemed to be shining.
The red soft sword in Zi Nu's hand danced like a spirit snake, blocking Xiao Bai's way.
The sword was as soft as water, yet as sharp as frost. Every time it was swung, it brought up a cold light.
Bai Feng dodged and moved, trying to find a breakthrough, but Zi Nu's soft sword seemed to have spirituality, and always managed to cleverly block his way when he was about to break through.
Bai Feng leaped, rolled, and rushed, using all his skills, but he was still unable to break free from the entanglement of the soft sword.
The duel between the two was like a hunt in a hunting ground. Bai Feng was like a white bird flying through the woods, while Zi Nu's soft sword was the big net that bound the bird.
A trace of anxiety gradually appeared on Bai Feng's face. Ji Wuye drew a pie for him with the picture of rescuing Mo Ya, and he ate it happily.
However, the prerequisite for rescuing Mo Ya is that he must make meritorious contributions and exchange Bai Feng's achievements for Mo Ya's departure from the Korean Prison.
