Jing Xian was also very honest. He didn't hide his purpose in coming here.
His face was full of sincerity.
At this time, the servant brought two pots of hot tea. He poured a cup for each of them and left.
Jing Rong frowned slightly. He took a sip of the tea and asked Jing Xian, "Didn't you take the initiative to handle this matter? Why did you suddenly come to me for this matter? " Jing Xian appeared slightly embarrassed and was too embarrassed to open his mouth. However, he still gathered up his courage and said, "I really shouldn't trouble you with this matter, but … you also know that I haven't been in the court for long. These two short months are neither long nor short. However, my aptitude is mediocre and I've never come into contact with the matters of the court. At most, I only know a few things. Those matters of war and the wisdom of the officials are like a blind man reading a book to me. Compared to you, I'm afraid that I still have many things to learn in the future. Today's matter in Shaanxi, I also considered it for a long time before I accepted it, but …
I also know that my ability is limited, so I wanted to discuss it with you. Just now, you left the court in a hurry, so I couldn't stop you. I had no choice but to personally come to you. "Jing Xian's tone was humble and sincere.
His purpose was clear.
"Oh." Jing Rong said, "So, you want to ask for my opinion?"
"Yes … In fact, I also want to ask for your opinion."
Jing Rong could see that Jing Xian came with sincerity.
Thus, he generously helped Jing Xian think of an idea.
He analyzed, "This matter is indeed thorny, but it is not completely impossible."
"Would you like to hear the details?" "Different methods should be used to deal with different people. As the saying goes, teach in accordance with one's aptitude. Since those bandits are cunning, then we must use the same method to be more cunning than them. More than a year ago, I passed through Changbing in Shaanxi. Although I only stayed for two days, I knew a little about that place.
The terrain there is very rugged and steep. Both the official road and the small road will pass through a valley. The high walls on both sides of the valley are covered with moss, making it very smooth. If both sides are blocked, the person in the middle will be trapped and have no way to escape. "
When Jing Xian heard this, he carefully thought about it and seemed to understand the meaning behind it. "You mean to catch a turtle in a jar?"
"That's right."
"But, knowing that the valley is dangerous, why would those bandits go there?"
"Like I said just now, teach in accordance with your aptitude.
Jing Rong emphasized these two sentences again.
Teach students in accordance with their aptitude?
Obtaining the Dao and using it?
Jing Xian pondered for a moment before he finally understood.
"I understand." He was pleasantly surprised. He immediately stood up and clasped his hands to express his gratitude. "Jing Rong, thank you very much."
In the next moment, Jing Rong also hurriedly stood up. He grabbed Ji Yunshu's wrist and lifted it up. "I've already said that you and I are brothers. There's no need to be polite. Besides, helping you is also helping the Imperial Court. Of course, I have to do my best. "
"In the future, if you encounter something you can't solve, I will do my best to help you."
"Alright."
The two of them got along very well.
After chatting for a while, Jing Xian saw that it was getting late, so he bade farewell and left.
On the third day, he departed for Shaanxi, accompanied by several military generals from the imperial court.
Five thousand soldiers were already waiting outside the city.
On this day, Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu, Mo Ru, and Tang Si all came to the city gates to send them off.
Jing Rong patted his hand and said, "Be careful on the road."
"Don't worry. I will leave early and return early. I won't disappoint Imperial Father."
"Remember what I said before."
Jing Xian nodded.
Mo Ruo came over and stuffed a box into Jing Xian's hands. "You've never left the capital before and don't understand the situation outside. I don't know what you're trying to do this time. You even dared to accept something you're not confident in! "
Although he was a little angry, his tone was still filled with concern.
Jing Xian only smiled. "I only accepted it after thinking about it. In short, I will take good care of myself. Moreover, Shaanxi is not far from the capital. With five thousand soldiers and so many imperial guards accompanying me, there won't be any problems."
"I hope so." Mo Ruo poked the box with his finger. "There are some food inside. I've also added some tonics. You can bring them with you to replenish your strength."
"Many thanks."
"Be careful on the road."
Jing Xian nodded again.
An imperial guard came over. "Xian Wang, it's time to leave."
Hurry!
Jing Xian didn't waste any more time. After bidding farewell, he boarded the carriage and left.
As the group left the capital's gates, their line of sight was gradually blocked by the commoners going in and out of the city.
Tang Si glanced around and said disdainfully, "I think this Xian Wang is just a scholar who writes with a brush. How would he know how to suppress bandits? I reckon that when he sees those bandits, he'll definitely piss his pants and run back. "
She giggled.
Mo Ruo immediately rolled his eyes at her.
Her mouth didn't stop moving as she continued, "I'm not wrong. He's been in the palace for so many years and doesn't know anything about the outside world. Moreover, the hearts of people are sinister and danger lurks everywhere. Does he think suppressing bandits is that easy? He might not even know the way when he leaves the capital's gates. "
She giggled again.
Ji Yunshu replied, "A scholar wielding a sword is better than your whip."
"Nonsense!" She was furious. She patted the silver whip that was wrapped around her abdomen and said proudly, "My whip and I are …" Very good.
Before she could say the last three words, she stopped talking.
A pair of round eyes suddenly fell on the four men who came in from outside the city gate. Three of them were dressed simply, but they were tall and sturdy. Their eyes were ferocious and their faces were filled with hostility. Each of them held a scimitar in their hands. The scimitars were engraved with exquisite patterns that looked like flowers or animals. As for the other person, he was a middle-aged man with a short beard. His eyes were sharp and spirited.
His expression was solemn and his tightly furrowed brows seemed to exude an innate murderous aura that made people shudder.
As they entered the city, they looked around as if they were looking for something? Or someone?
Tang Si immediately gave in.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
"…"
Her body flashed and she immediately hid behind Mo Ruo. Her head shrunk and her hands tightly clutched the bundle of clothes on his back. Her eyes were filled with panic.
This was the first time he saw her like this.
Mo Ruo frowned and tilted his head to ask her, "What's wrong with you? Hurry up and let go of me. "
"Don't move."
"What's wrong with you?" She lowered her head.
Her unusual behavior was unfathomable.
The three of them looked at each other.
Unknown!
Tang Si peeked out and secretly glanced at the city gates. Seeing the four people getting closer and closer, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
In a panic, she stomped her feet and simply —
She turned and ran.
