Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Mansion Meets Nobles
Some people say that in order for a person to succeed, he needs four kinds of people: famous teachers to guide the way, noble people to help each other, relatives to support, and villains to stimulate.
Zhou Sisi's current situation, these four people seem to have encountered it. Zhou Sisi as the daughter of Xiangyunzhuang, naturally from childhood to adulthood will not lack the guidance of famous teachers, she made up her mind to come to the imperial capital, of course, behind the guidance of the masters, of course, to the imperial capital is only the first step, there are more ambitious goals waiting for her to achieve, if you can follow the guidance of the masters all the way, the second half of her life will of course be extremely brilliant; Ouyang Jian is of course her current nobleman, with the help of nobles, Zhou Sisi's glorious road in the imperial capital will of course be smooth sailing, open and flat; to say that the support of relatives, it is not mixed with a little water, the most supportive of her, of course, is the current owner of Xiangyunzhuang Zhou Jun; of course, the villain stimulation must be counted on Zhou Dashao's head, Zhou Sisi came to the imperial capital, Zhou Dashao's abacus is the loudest, whether his sister will be happy in the future, although what he said in his mouth is extremely concerned, in fact, deep in his heart, he didn't take it seriously at all, the most calculated is how to maximize his own interests by using his sister, to put it bluntly, once family affection gives way to interests, the dirty deeds behind it are even more chilling.
Of course, Zhou Sisi may not be fully aware of these intricate relationships now, but he is not ignorant. Therefore, she is very satisfied with the current state she is in, and the trend of the situation is developing in the expected direction, and she can't help but feel a little more confident in her heart.
The arrival of Ouyang Jian made Zhou Sisi's mind come alive. Although she was looking forward to it in her heart, she didn't reveal anything in her words, looked at Ouyang Jian with a smile, and said softly: "Ouyang Little Prince, don't make fun of it." Sisi just felt that he dared to go to see the prince, he was worried in his heart, he didn't know what to prepare, the little prince had a good plan? Sisi can't go empty-handed, right?"
Ouyang Jian folded the fan with his right hand, patted it with his left hand, and said with a smile: "Sisi doesn't have to be restrained, after my father heard that you came to the imperial capital, he has been thinking about seeing you as soon as possible, as long as you can go to the palace earlier, it will be the best news for my father, and there is no need for other preparations." ”
"That being said, it's a piece of my heart after all. Zhou Sisi said, "Why don't I bring some of the self-brewed spirits in this village, I don't know if Prince Qing likes to drink on weekdays?"
"If a hero doesn't like wine, my father will be happy when he drinks the wine you sent. Ouyang Jian replied, and the two turned to the courtyard to make some preparations for going to King Qing's Mansion.
Yong'an City, the capital of the Shuntian Empire, is located in the heart of the entire empire, facing the sea in the east, Pingchuan in the south, the plateau in the west, and Xiongguan in the north.
Yong'an, the imperial capital, is a gathering place for heroes from all over the world, and it is also a foothold for heroes from all walks of life. In this place, every inch of land is valuable, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and a common person who usually comes out of the small courtyard may have a great background to rely on. Most of the people who can make a living here are powerful giants, financial tycoons with great financial resources, or powerful organizational forces.
Therefore, anyone who can be ranked in the imperial capital Yong'an City, and all the famous people who can be called in the imperial capital, must be the strongest of the strong, and the people who stomp their feet and stomp the entire Shuntian Empire will shake three times, there is no doubt that Ouyang Yunqing is one of them.
Ouyang Yunqing, one of the seven princes of the dynasty, the sworn brother of the current emperor, holds heavy troops, is high and powerful, and it is said that he has unfathomable super martial arts
The lake will also be the suzerain's most important figure. Such a character, since the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, hands and eyes are all over the sky, once you have a relationship with such a character, you will be able to rise to prominence and soar. The palace of Prince Qing where Ouyang Yunqing lives is even closer to the imperial city, only one street away from the imperial city, which shows the weight of Ouyang Yunqing in the court!
It was almost noon, accompanied by Ouyang Jian, Zhou Sisi walked into this majestic building that countless people yearn for and awe. Walking through the pavilion and crossing the porch, the two came to Ouyang Yunqing's study, where they met this powerful man.
Ouyang Yunqingjun has thick eyebrows, long beard and beautiful hair, elegant manners, although he has been in a high position for a long time, he has no arrogance, his speech is calm, and he is light and elegant. Just a few words of chatting made Zhou Sisi's originally somewhat apprehensive heart calm down, and his originally somewhat restrained expression also relaxed. The three chatted for a while, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
"Sisi, speaking of which, you and I still have some origins, I also had some friendship with your father back then, but things are not people, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, I don't know if your father has always been good?" Ouyang Yunqing looked at Zhou Sisi and asked, like a kind elder talking to a junior.
Hearing Ouyang Yunqing's words, Ouyang Jian was shocked, Ouyang Wang Ye had never mentioned this matter to him, and said it in front of Zhou Sisi, was it touching the scene, or did it have a deep meaning?
"Thank you for your concern, my father is all right. Zhou Sisi replied, but he was also surprised in his heart, he had never heard his father mention knowing Ouyang Yunqing.
"At the beginning, I was still a student of Jingwu Academy, that year I went to the northwest with a few classmates to practice, I was in distress halfway, lost four people, fortunately met your father Zhou Jun on the way to escape, with his help we got out of danger safely, at that time I was under the pseudonym Qingyun, I don't know if your father mentioned it to you?"
"Ah, are you Uncle Qingyun?" Zhou Sisi looked shocked, and said excitedly: "When I was a child, my father often told stories, he told stories a few times, and when he talked about the experience of the year, it was really thrilling and novel, and I still remember it vividly, I didn't expect you to be Uncle Qingyun in the story, my father often misses you, and I don't know how you are doing after separation." However, now that you are a prince, it is obvious that your father's worries can be put aside. ”
"Thank you Brother Zhou Jun for your concern!" Ouyang Yunqing said, his mood was obviously good, and he was full of emotion when he brought up the past again. It wasn't until the maid came to ask if she wanted to dine that Ouyang Yunqing changed the topic and invited Zhou Sisi to lunch.
The food of Qingwangfu is very exquisite, one is not extravagant, four people eat six dishes and one soup, not like the outbreak of the table full of plates, cups and saucers; The six-course dishes are meat and vegetarian, there are cold dishes and hot stir-fried, at a glance, they are full of colors, and they look very good, which can be described as beautiful and delicious. The aroma of the dish is appetizing, and the soft and glutinous rice is accompanied by a refreshing mushroom soup, which is a feast for the palate.
Ouyang Yunqing was very enthusiastic, talked about some light topics during the meal, and even opened the spirits sent by Zhou Sisi, and the four of them tasted it together. Ouyang Yunqing's wife sat next to Zhou Sisi, constantly serving soup and vegetables for her, treating her like a daughter.
Although it was the first time for Zhou Sisi to come to the palace, he felt the warmth of home. Although she has always been very calm, this is King Qing's Mansion after all, even if King Qing is approachable, Zhou Sisi still has some trepidation in her heart. But this lunch, she was inside
The hidden uneasiness in my heart disappeared unconsciously.
During this period, Ouyang Yunqing seemed to mention it casually, saying that as long as Zhou Sisi's own strength was enough, it would not be a problem to go to Jingwu Academy. This kind of insignificant and non-serious words came from Ouyang Yunqing's mouth, if someone who didn't know this prince heard it, they would definitely feel that this was a perfunctory remark. But if anyone who knows this prince hears it, they will be overjoyed. Because it is extremely difficult for Ouyang Yunqing to say affirmative words in his mouth, most of them are ambiguous, and this kind of argument is not a problem if he achieves a prerequisite, which means that he is ten percent sure.
Unlike most people who like to exaggerate their abilities, Ouyang Yunqing is a very low-key person, he is ten percent sure, at most he will say that there is a possibility of seven points; if he says something that can be tried, then there is a nine-point chance of winning; once he says something that he can't do, then it will definitely not work.
Zhou Sisi had just arrived, where would he know Ouyang Yunqing's style of acting, naturally he didn't know that his entry into the Jingwu Academy was a foregone conclusion, and secretly warned himself that he must redouble his efforts, and told Ouyang Yunqing that he would definitely practice hard and improve his strength soon. The other three people at the same table all smiled when they saw Zhou Sisi's serious and cute appearance, and they didn't break it.
Especially the prince's wife Chen Shuxian, the princess is very fond of Zhou Sisi, and repeatedly told her to come to Prince Qing's mansion to see her often during the imperial capital.
In short, Zhou Sisi's trip to Prince Qing's Mansion this time was very successful, and she unexpectedly got into a relationship with Ouyang Yunqing, with such a high-ranking and powerful uncle covering, her road to the imperial capital seems to be smoother.
Zhou Sisi was smooth sailing in the imperial capital, but Ye Heng was uncertain about life and death at this time. The Red Flame Wolf King chased all the way in the direction that Ye Heng escaped, but he chased for dozens of miles in a row, and in the end, he didn't even see Ye Heng's shadow. It stands to reason that when it comes to tracking techniques, in this great northwest, the Red Flame Wolf King is known for his keen sense of smell and rich experience, if he says that he ranks second, no one dares to claim to be the first in tracking. But such a character went out in person, or chased Ye Heng away, what went wrong?
The Red Flame Wolf King was sure that he had never gone in the wrong direction, because at the beginning, Ye Heng's residual aura was still very obvious, and the hoof prints left by the fire cloud were also easy to distinguish. It's just that after chasing a certain distance, the breath of one man and one horse disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of fire clouds running on the ground.
The Red Flame Wolf King searched for several miles in a radius, but still found nothing, his heart was extremely anxious, and he was extremely angry, and a howl resounded through the sky. After a while, smoke and dust billowed out, and all the wild wolves who heard the sound within a radius of dozens of miles converged here.
I saw that the wolves were galloping all over the mountains, and the shadows of the dense forests and dense grass were shuttling, and it didn't take long for a large group of wolves to surround the Red Flame Wolf King. The Red Flame Wolf King used his spiritual power, projected Ye Heng's image in the air, and ordered: "The wolves listen to the order! If he is in danger, he must ensure his safety at all costs! Inform all the brothers along the way that they must find someone within an hour, and go to find him quickly!"
The wolves were ordered, and immediately scattered away, and there were countless wild wolves along the way to join the ranks of the search, the Red Flame Wolf King's move really had the meaning of becoming a soldier, and the dense wolves were scattered, looking for him like a carpet, as long as Ye Heng was not from heaven to earth, he should be able to find his whereabouts.
Watching the wolves go away, the Red Flame Wolf King's eyes widened, Huo Ran turned around, and flew towards the place where Ye Heng was attacked again.
