After Wangcai asked this question, Zhao Lang could feel that the whole manor was instantly quiet.
Everyone still seemed to be going about their business, but one by one, their ears had long since perked up and the movements of their hands had long since forgotten to move.
Just waiting for Zhao Lang to speak.
Zhao Lang looked at Wang Cai, but instead of answering directly, he asked
“Where did you hear about this?”
Wangcai returned with a few moments of nervousness, and
“It’s all over the place now, saying that the King of Zhao, among the Six Kingdoms, is the Crown Prince of the Great Qin.”
Zhao Lang’s identity as the King of Zhao was still known to the people on the Liaodong Zhuang, only that he had not announced it with great fanfare.
After all, training troops and cantonments and building weapons were not things that normal people did.
Zhao Long looked at the courtyard full of people and knew that there was no great need for him to hide it.
So he nodded his head extremely dryly and said.
“Not bad, I am.”
Bang, choke, dang.
A tinkling sound rang out across the entire stately home.
Wang Cai in front of Zhao Lang even sat on his butt directly on the ground.
His mouth was stammering for something to say, but he didn’t say it.
The others’ were even less so.
Originally, to them, Zhao Lang was the eunuch of the manor, and his status was high and mighty.
It was just that Zhao Lang had always acted rather casually and treated people with respect, and had never taken a stand.
So everyone was still very close to him.
But now, his own son, the prince of the Great Qin, had become the prince of the Great Qin.
This news had gone beyond their imagination.
Everyone did not know how to react to this and could only sit dumbfounded on the ground.
When Zhao Lang looked at this scene, he could only give a bitter laugh, he could only say that his old man was really ruthless.
No one on the farm knew about it?
As he was thinking about how to end the situation, Uncle Fu came over in a hurry at this time and said that
“What are you all doing here? Are you comfortable on the ground? Why don’t you go and do something!”
With this yell from Uncle Fu, it was as if everyone’s souls had returned, and one went to work on whatever it was time to work on.
It was just that their hands and feet were still slightly inflexible.
Zhao Long looked at Fu Bo and felt a few emotions in his heart, saying.
“Uncle Fu, I don’t blame them, in fact, I am the Crown Prince of the Great Qin.”
Since Wang Cai and the others already knew about this news, then Uncle Fu must have known about it as well.
After saying this, Zhao Lang was already prepared to catch Uncle Fu.
The other party was old and it would be bad if he really had to sit on the ground.
Sure enough, a trace of surprise appeared on Uncle Fu’s face instantly, and then said that
“The family head has finally spoken to the Duke! Great! Great! Hahahaha!”
Looking at Uncle Fu, Zhao Lang was slightly dumbfounded.
Just in this instant, some of Zhao Lang’s previous doubts were all figured out.
Originally, he thought that all those techniques of his were leaked out by the Black Ice Guard, but he never thought that Pops’ biggest traitor was actually Uncle Fu!
And when he was in Xianyang, Pops didn’t even mention it!
It was just that looking at Fu Bo’s happy face, he couldn’t blame the other party.
Then again, Uncle Fu’s allegiance had never been to himself, but to his own old man.
This was something he could only admit.
Zhao Lang blinked and said to Uncle Fu that
“Uncle Fu, where is the teacher?”
Uncle Fu quickly replied back that
“Didn’t the gongzi send back an old man earlier? The Duke’s teacher seems to know that man, and he has been going to that man from time to time in the past few days, so he should be there now.”
Hearing this, Zhao Lang’s face changed slightly, the old man he had sent back was naturally the ghostly man.
The teacher was alone with him, don’t let anything go wrong.
Zhao Lang hurriedly walked towards where he was, and the others followed at once.
Only one person stayed where he was.
Chen Ping looked at Zhao Lang’s back as he left, his heart a little blank, this was the first time he had heard this news!
This kind of thing, shouldn’t we all get together and have a serious talk about it?
He hadn’t been prepared for it to come out like that!
At least let him sit down first!
Wang Cai, who had lagged behind, asked curiously.
“Why isn’t the gentleman following the gongzi?”
Chen Ping said, squeezing out a smile.
“No harm, it’s good to be slow.”
“Why isn’t the little steward following?”
“My legs are numb.”
“…”
By now, Zhao Lang had made his way to the place where the personnel were being held, which was still heavily guarded.
Otherwise, Zhao Lang wouldn’t have dared to put the people in the manor.
Quickly opening the door, he saw his Confucian head teacher, who was having a good conversation with Ghostly.
Seeing that his teacher was alright, Zhao Lang was only slightly relieved and then said that
“Teacher, the student is back.”
Seeing Zhao Lang, a trace of desolation flashed across Ghostly’s eyes; Zhao Lang had returned, which meant that Zhang Li must have died.
Kong A greeted with a smile at this time, and
“Come, come, come, Long’er, meet Mr. Guigu.”
“Mr. Guigu, this is the initiated disciple of my Confucian family, Zhao Lang.”
Of course Kongjia knew that the two had met, or else Ghostly Valley would not have been imprisoned here.
Just this introduction meant that it was now an exchange between the various schools of thought.
Zhao Lang told everyone else to exit first, then saluted and greeted him.
Only when both sides sat down did Zhao Lang ask
“Teacher, do you know Mr. Guigu?”
It was a bit better for him to ask for clarification on the key to this.
Kong A smiled and said back that
“When I was young, I was considered an old acquaintance, and I never thought that you, Long’er, would have such a good fortune to have invited Mr. Guigu to be a guest at the Zhuangzi.”
When confronted with Kongjia’s claim that he had helped to cover himself up, Guigu Zi merely shook his head, took out a piece of silk from his pocket and said.
“I am but a prisoner of the rank and file, there is no need for the head of Confucius to defend the face of the old man.”
“Since Gongzi Lang has returned, that means that my disciple should not be alive either.”
“Here are the contact details of the various ministries of the Zongheng Clan, Gongshilang take them.”
Faced with the somewhat unsympathetic approach of Gwizi, Kong Jia did not care, and just looked on with a smile on his face.
It was thought that the two had talked about these matters long ago over the past few days.
Zhao Lang would be even less polite and put the silk away straight away.
Then said.
“Then, thank you, Mr. Guigu, you can go now.”
Having taken down the Zongheng family, Zhao Lang’s next intelligence work would be much easier.
He would also be more confident in dealing with the Xiang Clan.
It would be better to let the other side go as the Ghost and Cross is also a curse if he stays at the Zhuang.
But Kong A, who was standing by, had a slightly solemn face and said that
“Lang’er, how can you be so rude to Mr. Guigu? Apologise quickly!”
Zhao Lang was just about to explain that he and the other party were considered enemies.
However, Kongjia gave Zhao Lang a rare glare.
Zhao Lang could only say honestly that
“Mr. Guigu, it was my rudeness, please forgive me.”
Even though he knew that Zhao Lang’s apology was not heartfelt, Ghost Valley’s heart still eased slightly and said to Kongjia that
“The head of Confucius has a good eye, better than I.”
The deaths of two disciples of his Zongheng family were both related to Zhao Lang, and it could be said that it was a complete defeat.
Kongjia, however, said with a smile.
“Mr. Guigu does not need to be presumptuous, the world does not know, but I do know that the Guigu lineage is extremely powerful in all its studies.”
“The Zongheng family is just one of them.”
“There is no need to take it personally if you fall for a moment.”
Hearing these words, Guigu Zi could not help but feel slightly better in his heart, and slowly exhaled a breath and said that
“The Confucian head is too kind, after this time, I will return to the mountain, and do my best to train my disciples, and will not come down from the mountain from now on.”
“In twenty years’ time, my disciples will compete with the hundred schools of thought again!”
As he spoke of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Ghostly Valley looked at Zhao Lang.
Nowadays, the Plutocrats could be said to be Zhao Lang.
Kong A lamented that
“Mr. Guigu is just what he should be, but we, the hundred schools of thought, cannot be cut off.”
“I just wonder if Mr. Guigu has a candidate for a new disciple?”
Hearing these words, Zhao Lang on the side had a slight movement in his heart, this routine of his own teacher was a bit familiar.
Before he realised what was going on, Guigu Zi slowly said that
“There are actually still some disciples among the Mountain Sect, but Su Ying and Zhang Li are the best of them, they have both failed, so I can only start from scratch.”
“I am going to go to the folk to find some children with qualifications and then start again from scratch.”
These words made Zhao Lang slightly moved, this could be said to be a typical elite education.
Of course, to him, this type of education was still a bit backward.
When his own comprehensive university was built up, the disciples taught by a sect of ghosts and goblins.
It would be a hell of a thing if they could compare with the students taught by his own university that gathered the strengths of a hundred schools.
Zhao Lang’s expression was hidden, but it couldn’t be concealed from the eyes of Ghostbusters.
Ghostly said, coldly
“Gongzi Lang seems to look down on what I am doing?”
Zhao Lang had absolutely no idea of giving face to the other party and said that
“I am afraid that this approach of Mr. Guigu is a bit closed-minded. ”
Hearing this, however, Guigu Zi revealed a smile and said to Kongjia, who was on the side, that
“Although Gongzi Lang is a disciple of the head of Confucianism, it seems that this book is less read.”
“Behind closed doors, out and about, doesn’t this show that the old man’s approach is the right one?”
Zhao Long froze for a moment, damn it, is there another sentence after this idiom?
He had always thought it was a sarcastic one.
This was a big disgrace!
On one side, Kongjia all slightly reddened his old face and said that
“This disciple of the old man is usually very busy, so he is indeed negligent in his discipline.”
But he quickly turned his words around and said.
“But now that the world is in turmoil, it is not easy for Mr. Guigu to find some qualified disciples.”
“If Mr. Guigu doesn’t mind, I do have some recommendations.”
Ghost Valley nodded back, for indeed, those of them who took disciples also cared a lot about their talent and qualifications.
A disciple with good qualifications could lift a finger.
Hearing this proposal, Ghost Valley Zi quickly said that
“The Confucian head is talking about recommendations, but those teenagers on the Zhuangzi?”
“Indeed they are all good youngsters, and the Confucian family is willing to part with them?”
Kongjia smiled and shook his head, returning
“Although the youngsters from Zhuangzi are intelligent, I am afraid they are not yet in the eyes of Mr. Guigu.”
“The disciple I am talking about is this one.”
With that, Kongjia pointed to Zhao Lang in front of him.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Kong A continued at this point, saying
“Although this disciple of mine is a bit naughty by nature, in terms of talent and qualification, he is definitely first-class in the world.”
“This is something that Mr. Guigu must know.”
Soon, Kongjia gave Zhao Lang a good boast.
As he listened, Mr. Guigu’s face became increasingly odd, and his heart could not help but recall the scene not long ago when Zhao Lang tied him up and gave him a good humiliation.
If he could get Zhao Lang to bow to him and call him teacher again…
Just thinking about it, Guigu Zi felt extremely happy in his heart!
He immediately looked uplifted, raised his head slightly, and said that
“The old man wouldn’t mind having an additional disciple.”
Now it was Zhao Lang’s turn to make a choice.
Zhao Lang frowned slightly, he didn’t know much about the Ghost Valley School, but he already had Agriculture, Medicine, Confucianism, Law, Mo, Bing and Zongheng, so it didn’t matter if he wanted the Ghost Valley School or not.
He was about to reject it when two options suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Lang’s eyes.
“Choice one, worship the Ghost Valley School as your teacher, reward junior high level maths!”
“Choice two, reject Ghostbusters as your teacher, reward junior high level psychology!”
Zhao Lang froze for a moment, how long has it been since the dog system came out?!
He had almost forgotten about it!
However, this choice now was a bit of a dilemma for him.
Both rewards were good, but when it came to practicality, it was definitely the maths.
Maths is the basis of all technological development!
Glancing at the ghostly figure on the side, Zhao Lang gritted his teeth, stood up and saluted
“Disciple Zhao Lang has met his teacher.”
At this time, Ghost Valley Zi’s eyes lit up and he said with a big smile.
“Well, well! I never thought that the old man would be so blessed!”
“Well, my shoulders and back have been a bit sore lately…”
Zhao Lang knew that this was pure revenge!
But one had to lower one’s head under the eaves and squeezed out a smile and said that
“My disciple will pound your back for you, sir.”
While watching his disciple suffer, Kong A on the side was smiling.
While Zhao Lang did not know how powerful the Ghost Valley School was, he did.
There were great benefits to having Ghost Valley as a teacher, so he would just talk to Zhao Lang afterwards.
Ghost Valley Zi also just wanted to take out his anger, and did not make things too difficult for Zhao Lang, and soon let him stop.
Zhao Long, however, was not one to suffer, and said.
“My disciple has already met my teacher, but I wonder if my teacher has and a meeting gift for my disciple?”
When he accepted disciples, it was always the case that people were grateful to him, how could they ask him for a gift?
Besides, his body had long been emptied by Zhao Lang, so how could he have any meeting gift?
However, he was not an ordinary person, and with a movement in his heart, he quickly said.
“Since you are already a member of the Ghost Valley Sect and you are the King of Zhao, you must also want to fight for the world, so I will wish you well.”
“Yet I can give you a way to break the Qin!”
Hearing these words, Zhao Lang’s face showed a hint of oddity and said that
“Teacher, this won’t be necessary, how about giving me a way to break the Xiang’s allied army.”
At this time, with a bit of pride, 鬼谷子 said that
“Superficial! Although the Xiang’s allied army is large and powerful, it is actually less threatening than the Qin army!”
At this time, Guigu Zi just wanted to give Zhao Lang an analysis of the world’s situation.
At this time, he heard Zhao Lang say that
“Teacher, I am actually the Crown Prince of the Great Qin.”
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out instantly in the room.
And after Kongjia froze for a moment, he revealed a relieved smile!
