The Chu army returned from victory, and the king of Chu greeted the general in the palace of Chu State.

"General! Thanks to the general this time!" King Chu laughed while drinking.

The state of Chu has added more land. These days, having land means having more resources, and having more resources means that the state of Chu will become stronger.

The general lowered his head modestly, and said, "It has nothing to do with my minister, thanks to Mr. Gongshu's ladder."

Gongshu Pan sat on the side, he seemed unwilling to talk while drinking.

The King of Chu stepped down from his superior position, walked up to the Gongshu Ban, toasted the Gongshu Ban, and said, "Hahahaha, Mr. Gongshu, thank you for your ladder. It's like a fish in water for my country of Chu to have Mr. Gongshu!"

Gongshuban was able to smile a little, and stood up to pay back the King Chu wine.

"Wang was joking. This is the duty of the public loser. Wang gave Ban a chance, and Ban should repay Wang."

The King of Chu laughed loudly. He patted Gongshuban on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay! Okay!! By the way, sir, I am going to attack Song State, and I need to entrust you with the military equipment!"

Gongshu Pan nodded and said, "I will definitely live up to the king's entrustment."

The King of Chu looked at Gongshuban and laughed again.

Everyone was very happy at this celebration banquet, only Gongshuban seemed not very happy.

The general saw Gongshuban's expression, and after the banquet was over, he walked up to Gongshuban and said, "Mr. Gongshu, I think you are a little unhappy?"

Seeing that it was the general, Gongshu Pan cupped his hands and said, "General, I'm just thinking about how to improve the ladder."

The general laughed loudly and said, "That's good, then I will take my leave first."

The general strode away, and Gongshu Pan walked behind, looking up at the sky, only a little confused in his heart.

After he came to the state of Chu, he made military equipment for the state of Chu, and he no longer touched the farm tools of the past. Because he did not touch them, he now has some desire to return to the life he used to have, but it is impossible to return to that kind of life. of.

Gongshu Pan looked down at his hands, he didn't know whether he was right or wrong.

Gongshuban sighed, then left Chu Palace and returned to his own house.

At the door, he found that there seemed to be a person standing under the lamp. When he walked over, he saw Lin Yi standing under the lamp. Lin Yi smiled and looked at Gongshuban, cupped his hands and said, "Sir."

For some reason, Gongshuban wanted to burst into tears. When he saw Ji Dong, he seemed to have seen those days in the past, and those people in the past.

Gongshu Pan walked over, grabbed Lin Yi with both hands, and said, "Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

Since he came to Chu State, he had never seen Lin Yi again. He thought that Lin Yi might have returned to later generations, or stayed in that village.

But I didn't expect to see Lin Yi here. The feeling of seeing an old friend again is extremely cordial.

Gongshu Pan smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I saw Jun Lin, and Jun Lin is still the same as before."

He has been in Chu State for several years, and he has grown a lot of white hair on his head, but Lin Yi doesn't seem to have changed at all. The flames of war in this troubled world have not stained his clothes, and he is still the same as before.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Gongshu, Mr. Gongshu finally got his wish?"

Gongshuban showed a bit of distress on his face. He pulled Lin Yi into the room and said, "Mr. Lin, please talk to me inside."

Gongshuban took Ji Dong to a room. He lit the lamps and ordered some food and wine to be prepared. After that, he dismissed the servants and poured Ji Yi a glass of wine.

"Lin Jun, alas, I have also looked for you these years, and even sent people back to the village to see if you are there, but I have never found Lin Jun."

Gongshu Pan sighed. When he sent people back, the village had already suffered from the flames of war, and the villagers had already fled in all directions. All the things in his house were taken away, even the tools from the past were taken away. They were all taken away.

He originally thought that if he got tired of being in Chu State, he would go back to the village again, but he didn't expect that the flames of war would spread so far. His village also suffered from the flames of war, and his last retreat disappeared. Can choose to stay in Chu.

Lin Yi looked at Gongshuban and said, "Sir, you seem to be a little sad? Is it because of King Chu?"

Gongshuban looked at Ji Dong with some surprise in his eyes, but he was soon relieved. After all, Lin Yi came from later generations, and he can fully understand some of his miraculous features.

Gongshu Pan sighed and said: "The King of Chu is going to attack the State of Song. I really don't know what to do. I am in the State of Chu to repair equipment for the King of Chu. Although these instruments are originally used to kill people, I don't know what to do. Why, when I think that these things are stained with other people's blood, I feel ashamed in my heart."

Lin Yi looked at Gongshuban and said, "Sir, you don't want to do it?"

Gongshuban looked at Lin Yi, with some hesitation in his eyes. He knew that siege equipment might not be something he should do, but he had no choice but to do it. After all, he lived in the state of Chu and was appointed by the king of Chu. He is not allowed to do some treacherous things, not to mention that even if he doesn't do it, will the king of Chu destroy the idea of ​​Song State?

Chu State is gaining momentum now, and it is absolutely impossible to give up the idea of ​​attacking Song State.

Gongshu Ban said in embarrassment: "This is not up to Ban alone, I just feel ashamed, but."

Gongshuban has some difficulties. He wants to do it but doesn't want to do it. He is very fascinated by carpenters, equipment, and architecture. Of course he is proud of making such weapons, but he can't help but look directly at the consequences of war.

Lin Yi said, "Mister, do you think you are from Chu?"

Gongshu Pan sighed, then nodded.

He lives in the territory of Chu State. Although he has always told himself that he is from Zhou, how can he deny that he is from Chu?
"Doesn't the gentleman already have an answer in his mind?"

Gongshuban raised his head and looked at Ji Dong. Jiong's eyes seemed to have the magic power to penetrate people's hearts. He looked at Gongshuban, and Gongshuban felt a sense of being seen through. This feeling made Gongshuban a little ashamed , but it seems that he can see through his heart with this kind of gaze.

He likes carpentry, but he doesn't like war.

Although he didn't know how to balance these, he might not go against his will.

Gongshuban closed his eyes, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and then sighed softly.

He knew that maybe he made a choice that he didn't want to think of in his life, but he might not regret it.
