How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

The moon is high.

Bonfires rose in the woods.

After resting for a long time, the master and the apprentice did not choose to go down the mountain, but camped on the spot.

The tigers roaming the barren mountains are all dead, so what else is there to be afraid of?

After Li Xin took care of his injuries, he took out some raw meat and cooked food, inserted iron skewers into them and grilled them on the fire.

He even took out a bottle of old wine and sipped it every sip.

Zhang Yan and Lu Lingxuan, who had never spent a night in the wild, regained their energy after the fear, and played around the chirping campfire.

After all, she is only a fourteen-year-old girl!

It's a time of innocence.

Li Xin smiled and divided the baked food between two people from time to time.

Zhang Yan's mouth was full of oil after eating, and she looked at the dead tiger beside her, and then at the injury on Li Xin's shoulder.

"Master, this...is this what you call courage?"

"But if you do something you know you can't do, isn't it stupid?"

The girl still can't figure it out.

Why did the master, who was always extremely smart and dashing, be so stupid as to go up the mountain to hunt tigers?

Doesn’t it mean that a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall?

You are a scholar.

That is to say, the tiger was successfully killed.

What if it fails?

Not only are you going to die, sister Lingxuan and I will also die.

The three of us, master and disciple, will all die from this senseless stupidity.

Why provoke this tiger?

The more the girl thought about it, the more she couldn't understand, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"madness?"

Li Xin, who was drinking, was stunned and smiled lightly.

He put the wine bottle aside and beckoned the two girls to come over and get closer to him.

"Baozhu, Lingxuan, let me tell you a story. Please tell me what is stupidity and what is courage?"

Seeing that Li Xin was about to tell the story, the two girls hurriedly came over.

Sir, he is full of stories.

When they were young, I told them about [Sword Comes], [Swordsmanship in the Snow], [Robinson Crusoe], [Alice in Wonderland]...

All kinds of weird rumors made the two girls fascinated.

Now, what story does Master want to tell?

Li Xin has spoken softly.

"It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Duke Qi Zhuang of Qi State was in power."

"He had a prime minister named Cui Zhu, that's who..."

"Master, I understand!"

Zhang Yan was smart and interrupted Li Xin with a smile.

"I know what story you're going to tell."

"Is he the Cui Zhu who killed his own king?"

Zhang Yan said proudly: "After Cui Zhu killed the king, the historian directly wrote that Cui Zhu killed his king. Cui Zhu was furious and killed the historian with a sword. Who dared to write it?"

"Unexpectedly, the historian's younger brothers Tai Shizhong and Tai Shi Shu continued to come forward and wrote [Cui Zhu killed his king], and Cui Zhu continued to kill the two of them."

"There was only one male left in the historian's family, Tai Shi Ji, so I asked him if he still dared to write?"

"Taishi Ji still wrote the words Cui Zhu kill his king, which made Cui Zhu speechless and no longer dared to kill Taishi's family."

Zhang Yan told the story briefly and then smiled.

"Master, is this the story you want to tell, telling us that historians must not be afraid of power and write straightly?"

"But... what does this have to do with courage? It has nothing to do with stupidity either."

"Isn't that what Taishi and his family should do when he feeds the emperor and talks about state affairs?"

Li Xin glanced at Zhang Yan in surprise, shook her head and smiled helplessly.

"You little girl, don't interrupt me yet. What I want to tell is the story of another person besides Duke Qi Zhuang and Cui Zhu. It doesn't even have anything to do with them."

Doesn't matter?

Zhang Yan vomited and did not dare to interrupt at will.

Li Xin continued to speak: "After Cui Zhu killed their king of Qi, the world was shocked."

"At that time, almost all the people in Qi were afraid of Cui Zhu's power, and no one except the historian dared to mention this matter."

"But there is one person who can't stand it anymore! He is the protagonist of the story, Chen Buzhan."

Chen Buzhan?

Zhang Yan and Lu Lingxuan were stunned, and after thinking for a long time, they didn't remember who this was.

There seems to be no mention of his name in the Four Books and Five Classics, or even in the classics and history books.

"Chen Buzhan! A scholar of Qi State, that is, an ordinary scholar, his deeds will not even be recorded in the official history."

Li Xin said softly: "That is, the new preface "Yiyong No. 8" written by Liu Xiang records this humble story."

"It is said that Chen Buzhan is naturally as timid as a mouse. Even hearing the sound of thunder and rain will scare him."

"After he learned that Cui Zhu had killed his king, he was eating, but he was so frightened that he couldn't hold his chopsticks."

"After picking up the chopsticks, he became furious and cursed Cui Zhu for being extremely shameless and daring to kill the king without permission!"

"Chen Buzhan simply stopped eating and asked his family to prepare weapons immediately and find a carriage. He would go to Cui Zhu personally and kill him to avenge the king."

"But he's so timid!"

Li Xin said with a smile: "When Chen Buzhan got on the carriage, he couldn't even hold on to the carriage beam and fell off the carriage many times."

"His family and the driver all saw that Chen Buzhan was frightened."

"Everyone has tried to persuade him not to trouble Cui Zhu anymore, but can he just hide at home peacefully?"

"But what did Chen Buzhan say?"

Li Xin looked a little more serious.

"The dead king is righteous! Without courage, he is selfish. Don't harm the public with your private life!"

"It is justice in heaven and earth to die in order to join you! I am as timid as a mouse, and that is my own business. I can never use my private life to abolish public service!"

"The family and the coachman were moved by his words and determined to support him in going to Cui Zhu's residence to kill him."

"pity……"

Li Xin sighed.

"What's a pity?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan and Lu Lingxuan were entranced and subconsciously asked questions.

"It's a pity that Chen Buzhan is still too timid."

"After he arrived at Cui Zhu's house, he saw a cloud of soldiers in front of Cui Zhu's house. They were all brave and fierce. He didn't even have time to get out of the car and was frightened to death by the clash of weapons in the hands of those soldiers!"

"what?"

Neither of the two girls expected such an ending, and were stunned.

How could there be such a coward in the world who would be scared to death when he heard the sound of weapons clashing?

Then why would he die in vain?

Li Xin continued: "The coachman was frightened to death when he saw Chen Buzhan didn't get out of the car. He sighed and took him back to his hometown for burial."

"After the people in his hometown heard his story, no one laughed at him for being as timid as a mouse. They all said that he was a kind and courageous man!"

"As the saying goes, where the Tao is, even if there are thousands of people, I will go there!"

Li Xin finally finished telling the story and looked at Zhang Yan with bright eyes.

"Orb!"

"Do you think Chen Buzhan is stupid or brave?"

"I……"

Zhang Yan couldn't say another word, she blinked and was stunned.

Yes!

The tiger hurt people. When the master heard about it, he went to kill it.

What does stupidity have to do with it?

But Master taught me to be brave, but what else did he want me to do?

The girl felt inexplicably that the master today was very strange, indescribably strange.

She subconsciously looked into the darkness of the night.

There seems to be some big horror waiting for me.

The three masters and disciples fell silent for a while.

Only Ye Cheng stared blankly and sighed.

Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Yan.

Three people who changed the fate of Ming Dynasty all appeared.

What will happen to them under Li Xin's plan?
