Chapter 285 The Mysterious Little Girl
Ye Ru's calm voice lingered there, sending a chill down the spine of Chen Tianjian, a great Confucian scholar.
He knew Ye Ru's talent and his methods. If he pushed him too far, it was not impossible that he would use a strategy of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own to inflict heavy damage on the demon race.
"I believe in your methods, but we must still be careful. We must be careful not only of the demon race, but also of the human race. The human heart is far more terrifying than the demon heart. You can know a person's face, but not their heart."
Chen Tianjian sighed, patted Ye Ru on the shoulder, and then suddenly noticed the paper Ye Ru had annotated. He went over and picked it up to take a look.
After he finished reading it, he took a deep breath, a look of shock appearing on his face:
"Did you write this? Some insights about the Mohist school?"
"Yes, I happened to see this book, 'Mozi,' during my break. I have always admired the chivalrous spirit of the Mohists, especially their theory of 'universal love and mutual benefit' and their methods of governing the country, such as valuing the virtuous, promoting harmony, practicing frugality, and keeping funerals simple."
Ye Ru turned around and smiled.
"Some of the Mohist theories were indeed quite novel, and even Han Fei, a semi-saint, called them and Confucianism 'the most prominent schools of thought in the world.' Unfortunately, because Mohist thought had unique political attributes, it was not adopted by various rulers. In addition, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty's policy of 'dismissing all other schools of thought and exclusively honoring Confucianism' led to the continuous suppression of Mohism, which eventually declined and never recovered. It is a pity."
Chen Tianjian pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"As Mencius said, 'The words of the world either belong to Yang Zhu or Mozi.' In a way, Taoism is still a step ahead."
Ye Ru echoed in agreement.
"Could I borrow this annotation for three days? What you wrote has just cleared up the questions I've been thinking about before."
Chen Tianjian said.
"Please do as you please, Lord Chen. This is merely a means for me to restore my talent; it's nothing to worry about."
Ye Ru shook his head.
"Then I won't be polite."
Chen Tianjian carefully put the paper into his sleeve:
"Well, you probably haven't seen the magnificent and beautiful scenery of this northern border region yet, have you? Would you be interested in coming with me to see these green mountains and clear waters?"
"I can't ask for it."
Ye Ru raised an eyebrow. With no war going on, it was quite nice to be able to relax and enjoy the scenery of the surrounding border.
A balance between tension and relaxation is the way of both civil and military affairs.
"Walk."
With that, the two headed towards a mountain forest guarded by the Northern Territory.
Brush brush!
This mountain forest is sparsely populated and uninhabited. Between the valleys, the mountains rise one after another, and the scenery is beautiful, majestic and magnificent.
Suddenly, the forest shook, and two figures leaped onto the tree trunks. One of the young men looked up and gazed into the distance.
"Just as Lord Chen said, why not hunt two rabbits and make a barbecue?"
Ye Ru suddenly remembered something and smiled.
"I've heard that you're also very skilled in archery, one of the Six Arts of a Gentleman. How about we have a contest today to see who can hit the prey first?"
Chen Tianjian was also aroused by his competitive spirit. With a flick of his wrist, two bows and some arrows appeared in his hand.
He then handed one of the bows to Ye Ru, who weighed it in his hand and a satisfied look appeared on his face.
"Then I'll be leaving now. This place is within the Northern Territory, and there are no demons here to bother you. Moreover, with your talent, ordinary wild beasts can't even get close to you."
After Chen Tianjian finished speaking, he lightly touched the ground with his foot and left the place, immediately turning into a black dot.
"It's somewhat like an old man suddenly feeling young again."
Ye Ru smiled, picked up his bow and arrow, and dashed into the depths of the dense forest.
call out!
Deep in the dense forest, an arrow pierced through the air with a whooshing sound, finally striking a rabbit. The rabbit struggled for a moment, then stopped moving. Ye Ru stepped forward and grabbed the rabbit, when suddenly he heard a sound coming from afar.
"What is this sound?"
Ye Ru frowned, then listened intently, his pupils contracting.
"You big, stupid tigers..."
"There are still people here?"
With his expression shifting rapidly, Ye Ru quickly walked towards that place.
About a mile away from Ye Ru, four ferocious, hungry tigers opened their blood-red mouths and surrounded a figure.
Upon closer inspection, the figure turned out to be a little girl, about sixteen years old, dressed in animal skins, with an extremely voluptuous figure and a wild beauty.
Now, she glared angrily at the four ferocious, hungry tigers. However, there were some wounds on her arms that looked like the claw marks of a demon.
"You big idiots, can't you understand what I'm saying? Do you really think I'm someone to be trifled with? If it weren't for... if it weren't for..."
Before the little girl could finish speaking, the four tigers suddenly pounced on her, causing her to turn pale and quickly dodge.
"roar~"
One of the ferocious tigers missed its target, staring at her with a menacing glint in its eyes, its paws rubbing against her skin as if preparing to attack again.
"Humph."
The little girl snorted coldly. The pain emanating from her body caused a look of agony to appear on her face. She stared at one of the tigers, seemingly trying to scare it away, but what awaited her was the tiger's fury.
Roar!
The tiger roared again, its body as large as a mountain, and charged towards the little girl.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
The little girl was clearly no ordinary person either. A purple light flashed in her eyes, and she threw a punch with her seemingly delicate fist.
boom!
With a muffled thud, what was terrifying was that the ferocious tiger had been punched and blasted with a bloody hole.
However, although the little girl was strong, her injuries became more serious after that punch. Then, while she was stunned, a tiger pounced on her from behind.
However, it was too late for her to attack. The ferocious tiger, with its whistling sound, made her face turn pale, her pupils fixed on the tiger.
"Father, come save me... Your daughter is dying!"
However, just when she thought she was doomed, an arrow came from the forest with tremendous force and struck the tiger in the abdomen. The tiger let out a shrill roar and slammed into a rock. The rock shattered, and the tiger gradually lost its life.
The deaths of the two ferocious tigers instilled a sense of instinctive fear in the remaining tigers, who looked around and let out low, guttural roars.
Sensing something amiss, the little girl blinked and looked into the dark forest.
Ding Deng Deng.
A moment later, the sound of footsteps could be heard faintly, and finally, through the shadows, a rather handsome face appeared fully in the little girl's sight.
