Chapter 179: Jixia Academy Gongsun Long Kong Chuan

Chapter 179: Jixia Academy Gongsun Long Kong Chuan
When Ying Chengjiao stood outside Linzi City, he saw that Linzi City was exactly the same as the Linzi he had imagined, but far different from Xianyang.

When he walked into Linzi City and saw the busy streets with cars and pedestrians, he realized the unique style of this former number one city in the world.

If Xianyang is grand, then Linzi is prosperous.

Ying Chengjiao traveled around the countries, visited many cities, and met all kinds of people.

But he had never seen such a person in any city.

Almost every Linzi person he met had clothes without patches, had a ruddy complexion, and looked leisurely when walking or standing.

People in Linzi are relaxed at heart.

As he walked, Ying Chengjiao saw many people from Linzi doing different things.

The young man was quite shocked when he saw the people of Linzi playing the 竽, 琴, 琴, cockfighting, dog racing, gambling, and playing football.

If entertainment is popular in a place, then the people in this place will most likely not worry about three meals a day.

People who can’t even fill their stomachs have no mood to play.

What the people of Linzi did was what the nobles did in other countries.

Life is rich, and the next thing is spirit. The boy began to focus on the eyes of the people in Linzi looking at him.

Among all the nations, the common people looked at the nobles and officials with a mixture of envy and fear.

The country that impressed Ying Chengjiao the most was Zhao State, because it was the most different.

Due to the national conditions of Zhao State where there are more women than men, there are few men on the streets of Zhao State, and most of the people are women.

Ms. Zhao's eyes were burning.

They seem to just want a man.

No matter the time, place or age,

When Ying Chengjiao was walking on the streets of Zhao State, he felt like he was being burned to death by the gazes of the Zhao women.

After the Zhao woman, the eyes of the Linzi people also left a deep impression on Ying Chengjiao.

The looks from the people of Linzi when they looked at him were ordinary and casual.

There was no obvious difference between how they looked at the nobles and how they looked at the common people around them.

No envy, no fear.

It was like seeing someone I see every day, someone very familiar, and I just glanced at him casually.

The young man was inspired and said:

“The world is so big, and there are so many cities.

"Nowhere is the people happier than in Linzi."

If there were a city happiness index ranking now, the boy was sure that Linzi would be the first.

The young man originally looked down upon the State of Qi.

Based on what he had learned in his previous life, he believed that Qi was a country that had lost its enterprising spirit and was doomed to perish.

The fact that Qi did not join the coalition to force Qin proved the young man's judgment.

If the Jixia Academy had not been in Linzi, Qi, the young man would not have bothered to come here.

He traveled around the various states to buy time for the Qin State to rest. The only state he never visited was Qi State, because he thought Qi State was unnecessary.

Whether he comes to Qi or not, Qi will not cause trouble.

Now, his thinking has changed a little.

The State of Qi may not be strong in terms of military power, but the people of Qi must have the best living conditions.

Zou Yan paused and looked directly into the boy's eyes, his gaze seemed to be able to see into the deepest part of the boy's heart.

After a moment, the Jixia Academy's chief priest smiled sincerely:
"Today's weather is very good, very suitable for parades. How about Yan taking you to see the scenery of Linzi?"

If we march to Linzi, we won't have to debate with Gongsun Long.

Zou Yan thought that Prince Cheng Jiao was now a gentleman.

"If I follow Zou Zi's wish, will Zou Zi still think the weather is good?" Ying Chengjiao smiled, cupped his hands, bowed his head slightly and said, "Jixia Academy, Gongsun Longzi, I have been wandering for a long time, please lead the way, Zou Zi."

A gentleman is not afraid of questioning.

Can Prince Chengjiao, who avoids war, still be called a gentleman?

Zou Yan did not move:

"Yan's nickname is Tan Tianyan.

“Everyone in the world knows that Yan is good at chatting.

"Yan reminded you last time, young master, to talk to Yan, not to chat."

Zou Yan was good at conversation, and Gongsun Long was good at debate.

Don't chat with Zou Yan, and don't debate with Gongsun Long.

The chief priest is giving the final exhortation.

Ying Chengjiao pretended not to understand and said:

"I understand, young man. Please lead the way, Zou Yan." Zou Yan sighed, said "Forget it", and walked ahead.

Around the two of them, the Jixia scholars who heard their conversation had strange looks on their faces and strange lights in their eyes.

For many years, no one dared to debate with Gongsun Longzi.

The last person who took the initiative to approach Gongsun Longzi was Confucius’ sixth-generation grandson, Kong Chuan.

The Jixia scholars who heard Zou Yan and Ying Chengjiao's conversation nearby passed on their words to the Jixia scholars who were farther away.

Soon, all the scholars knew that Prince Chengjiao could avoid fighting but did not, and took the initiative to debate with Gongsun Long.

Before Ying Chengjiao met Gongsun Long, his image had already been established in the minds of the scholars.

In the crowd, Deng Lingxue, the leader of Chu Mo, breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

Qi Palace, west gate.

The Palace of the King of Qi was the small city of Linzi mentioned by Tian Dan, located in the southwest corner of the big city.

The west gate of the Qi Palace was called Jimen.

Outside Jimen, located in the big city but close to the small city, is the Jixia Academy.

The name of Jixia Academy comes from the academy under Ji Gate.

Ying Chengjiao stood in front of the gate of the Jixia Academy, craning his neck to look at the four big characters "Jixia Academy" written in Qi script on the plaque.

He didn't recognize these four words, but he knew by guessing with his butt that they were the four words "Jixia Academy".

Prince Chengjiao originally had some reluctance to attack Qi in the future because of its love for its people, but at this moment, he had completely lost that reluctance.

[This is a broken character! I don't recognize it at all! Sooner or later I will change it to Qin!]
Stepping into the main gate of the Jixia Academy, Ying Chengjiao, led by Zou Yan and surrounded by other scholars, came to an extremely wide square.

The square is paved with white stones, is circular in shape, and has three thousand seats, enough to accommodate three thousand people.

At this time, except for the dozens of straw mats in the central area, all other straw mats were full of people.

These people were wearing the same uniform and they were the students of the Jixia Academy.

From the moment they learned that Gongsun Long was going to debate with Gongzi Chengjiao, many students had been eagerly waiting.

As soon as Ying Chengjiao entered the square, countless eyes turned towards him.

Young Master Chengjiao slowed down his steps for a beat, recalling the feeling of being burned by Ms. Zhao's scorching gaze.

The ardor in the eyes of the Jixia students was no less than that of the Zhao girl.

Facing these gazes, Ying Chengjiao followed the disciples through the crowd and walked into the center of the square.

In the center is a high platform with a table on it and two straw mats on the left and right of the table.

There was a person sitting on one of the straw mats, resting with his eyes closed.

He has an ordinary appearance, nothing special about him, and is hard to be noticed in a crowd.

But as he sat there, no matter how ordinary he looked, he was extraordinary.

Unparalleled in debate, Gongsun Longzi.

The scholars took their seats one by one, their eyes gradually becoming as enthusiastic as those of the students at Jixia Academy; they also wanted to see Gongsun Long's debate.

The boy let out a sigh.

Before facing the real Gongsun Longzi, he read "Gongsun Longzi" fifty-eight times.

Let me see how big the gap is between people and books... He muttered to himself and slowly climbed the stairs.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and someone suddenly took a few steps ahead, climbed onto the platform, and sat down opposite Gongsun Longzi!
Ying Chengjiao, who had just climbed half of the stairs, was shocked!

What happened? How did you get up there?
When they were near the platform, the disciples who could see the situation clearly were shocked!
Normally, no one dares to debate with Gongsun Long. Why is he doing this today?

The students of Jixia Academy were shocked!

Whose driver is this? He doesn't know the rules! Is this a place where you can mess around?

The two men who climbed the steps and sat down were dressed as grooms. They were Ying Chengjiao and Kong Bin, the drivers who drove the carriage from Xianyang to Linzi.

The driver turned around and smiled at Ying Chengjiao:

"This seat has been taken by me. Please sit aside for a while and watch me debate with Gongsun Longzi."

Ying Chengjiao was suddenly startled. He turned his head and scanned the stage, searching for Kong Bin, but did not answer immediately.

This driver was brought by Kong Bin.

Gongsun Longzi, who was closing his eyes to rest, frowned slightly, feeling that the voice was quite familiar.

He opened his eyes and saw the driver, with a hint of understanding and surprise in his eyes.

What was clear was that I had not heard wrongly, it was indeed an old friend.

What was surprising was that an old friend was sitting in front of me at this time.

"Zigao." Gongsun Long said in a bad tone: "This matter has nothing to do with you! Get out!"

The driver shook his head:
"Zi Bing, you have to talk to me first before you can talk to Master Cheng Jiao."

With a solemn expression, he folded his hands in front of him and bowed formally:
"Kong Chuan, please tell me about Gongsun Longzi, a white horse is not a horse."

 I'm stuck in the debate, I'll make up for it tomorrow
