Guo Fengxian and the others were in the old manager's residence, eating a bowl of fish noodles unhurriedly, unhurriedly, and with a bit of the bearing of a scholar.

The young man in Tsing Yi who was waiting on the side couldn't stop looking at Guo Fengxian, but there was not much admiration and envy in his eyes, but there was some playfulness.

People like them who often follow the boss have never seen any scenes, no one has seen them, especially poor scholars like Guo Fengxian, who don't send three a day, at least two of them will be swept out of the house.

But it is rare for a poor scholar like Guo Fengxian to be reserved and pretentious even if he eats fish noodles.

But he is still looked down upon by him, no matter how he pretends to be, he is not a poor scholar who hollows out his mind and sharpens his head to enter the palace to finish eating.

Whenever the little guy in Tsing Yi was silently evaluating others, he never thought about how he got into the palace and how he got into the old manager's side to run errands.

Guo Fengxian had just finished eating a bowl of noodles when he heard a burst of eager footsteps into the courtyard, Guo Fengxian grinned, then got up to tidy up his appearance, and waited for the old manager to enter the house.

Guo Fengxian noticed just now that the pace of the old manager's return was completely different from when he went, and he was obviously a lot more anxious.

If you want to say that this boss is anxious, it is true, all the way he was thinking about the picture just now, the prince first looked at the silk map and was silent, and then his face gradually became solemn, and then he agreed to see Guo Fengxian.

And when one of his feet was about to step out of the study, the voice of the prince came again, "Remember to invite Mr. Guo to come, pay attention to the etiquette and be thoughtful." ”

What the old manager couldn't understand the most was the words of the prince who "did this too much" when he left the study.

A poor scholar from a poor background with no background, can he be treated so attentively by the dignified King of the East China Sea? But since the prince had spoken, the old manager had no choice but to put away the contempt in his heart and exchange it with the courtesy of a guest to receive Guo Fengxian.

Sure enough, when he saw Guo Fengxian again, the old manager's face obviously had a more cordial smile, and his speech was no longer so high-minded, quite a bit of a corporal Lixian.

After all, he is an old man who has been in the whirlpool of the East China Sea Palace for decades, not only was he not swallowed up by the whirlpool, but he rose all the way, and he only became the head of everything in the Commander-in-Chief Palace, and his position was as stable as a rock.

This is not only due to luck, or the little incense with the king of the East China Sea, but more importantly, his own skills.

Like this kind of small trick of seeing the wind and steering the rudder and watching the dishes be served, his Uncle Guo Dong has already cultivated perfectly.

Although the old manager has changed his attitude, and the high-ranking prince has also agreed to see him, Guo Fengxian's demeanor is still as usual, and he still behaves respectfully in front of the old manager, and he does not dare to be rude.

The old manager led Guo Fengxian to the courtyard, and a young man in bright clothes led two entourages in.

The old manager's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly took two steps to meet him and bowed, "The old slave has seen the eldest prince. ”

Due to the seniority and power of the old manager in the palace, as well as the incense between the old manager and the king of the East China Sea, the eldest prince of the king of the East China Sea did not dare to snub the old man in front of him.

The young man also bowed to the old manager, and asked, "Grandpa Guo, you are in a hurry, where are you going?"

In front of the old manager, although the young man looked polite and thoughtful, there was still a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows.

The old manager replied truthfully: "Back to the eldest prince, the old slave is going to take Mr. Guo to the study to see the prince." ”

Only then did the young man notice Guo Fengxian, who was standing behind the old manager, and when he heard that it was someone who even his father was going to summon, he couldn't help but be intrigued, so he stepped forward, made a mockery, and said with a smile: "In Xia Xuanyuan Ji, what is this gentleman called?"

Guo Fengxian has long been paying attention to the eldest prince of the East China Sea King, and he usually hears about some of his things, Guo Fengxian wants to enter the command of the East China Sea King, so he naturally did some investigation and understanding of the people around him, especially his princes.

In the end, Guo Fengxian gave the eldest prince an eight-word comment: gold and jade, defeat in it.

It seems to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Corporal Lixian, but in fact it is just a straw bale.

Seeing that the eldest prince took the initiative to ask, Guo Fengxian bowed and saluted: "The villain Guo Fengxian has seen His Royal Highness the eldest prince. ”

Xuanyuan Ji looked Guo Fengxian up and down, and his eyes gradually revealed a look of disappointment.

The most important thing is that a "villain" has exposed the servility of this person, once a person loses his temperament, how much success can he have, at best he is just an obedient dog with a wagging tail.

Xuanyuan Ji nodded, then turned to the old manager and smiled: "Grandpa Guo, I heard that you got a "Lady Autumn Travel Map", I don't know if it's true?"

The old manager, like an elder, stretched out his hand and clicked Xuanyuan Ji, with a helpless smile on his face, shook his head and said: "I really can't hide anything from your eldest prince's eyes, since the eldest prince has taken a fancy to the "Lady's Autumn Journey", I have no choice but to cut my love." ”

"Then thank you Grandpa Guo, if I meet a lovely woman, I must give it to Grandpa Guo first. Xuanyuan Ji said happily.

The old manager stretched out an old face and said with a wry smile: "Prince, don't bother my old man, I have to be helped to climb up when I even go to bed, and I still have that spare energy." ”

Then he said with a serious face: "The prince is waiting to see Mr. Guo, and the old slave is not worthy of the eldest prince." ”

Xuanyuan Ji got out of the way and said happily: "I'll just wait in the house, Grandpa Guo, come over when you're done." ”

The boss chattered, then turned back to Guo Fengxian and said, "Mr. Guo, please come with me." ”

When the figures of the old manager and Guo Fengxian disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, Xuanyuan Ji's face immediately became gloomy, and he beckoned to one of the entourages and said, "You go and check this person named Guo Fengxian to see what his origin and background are." ”

The attendant whispered, then quickly left.

Guo Fengxian was quite satisfied with his performance just now, at least to a certain extent, which dispelled the eldest prince's interest in him.

He is a person who wants to do great things, and he doesn't want to waste his energy in boring battles between princes.

The Donghai Royal Mansion covers an extremely wide area, it is on the basis of the original Zhao Palace, and it has been greatly expanded, although the scale of the palace is not as majestic as the Los Angeles Palace, but the exquisite layout of the pavilions in the palace, the design of the landscape garden, has surpassed the Los Angeles Palace.

Although Guo Fengxian thinks very highly of himself, and has an arrogance in his bones, he is not inferior to all the scholars at that time.

But when he really had to face the king of the East China Sea, whose strength and status were unanimously recognized by the vast majority of people, whether it was in the temple, or in the rivers and lakes, or in the Shilin of their scholars, Guo Fengxian still couldn't help but get nervous in his heart.

While waiting for the transmission at the door of the study, Guo Fengxian took several deep breaths in a row to relieve the tightness in his chest, and kept comforting himself in his heart, which calmed his nervous heart a little.

This is the second time he has encountered such a situation, the first time is when he went to a private school, and when he stood at the door waiting for the teacher, he was in the same mood as now.

The old manager walked to the door of the study and said to Guo Fengxian, who was standing on the steps outside, "Mr. Guo, the prince has summoned you." ”

Guo Fengxian nodded, then straightened his chest, pinched each other with his palms, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, after doing all this, he stepped into the study of the king of the East China Sea, and when he walked, he tried to relax his whole body.

The study of the king of the East China Sea was not as splendid as Guo Fengxian imagined, and the furnishings were full of quaintness, and he felt as if he had entered an attic that had been around for some years.

In a hurried glance, Guo Fengxian noticed the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" on the wall behind the King of the East China Sea, and his heart suddenly felt a little more relieved.

The king of the East China Sea in front of the bookcase kept his head buried, looking at the things on the bookcase seriously, and only after the old manager's report did the king of the East China Sea raise his head to look.

Although the young man in front of him was dressed in cloth, it was difficult to hide the arrogance emanating from his body, a face was as narrow as a horse's face, but the facial features on his face were quite well-proportioned, and when the King of the East China Sea noticed Guo Fengxian's eyes, he suddenly had a trace of interest.

Seeing a lot of people who are submissive in front of him, the king of the East Sea has become accustomed to this, but from the eyes of the young man in front of him, he did not see the fear and fear he should have, what he saw was a kind of calmness, and a perseverance and unyielding.

When the East China Sea King's eyes stared at Guo Fengxian, he felt as if he was being targeted by a desolate beast, and his whole body suddenly became stiff, but he still maintained a trace of clarity in his heart.

Guo Fengxian bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the severe pain made him wake up from the illusion, and then calmly knelt on the ground, bowed to the king of the East China Sea, and praised in his mouth: "Student Guo Fengxian has seen the prince." ”

The King of the East China Sea looked at Guo Fengxian on the ground, a rare smile appeared on his face, and said, "Get up and speak." ”

The fact that this young man was able to come to his senses under his own coercion shows how strong his will is.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Guo Fengxian finished speaking, got up calmly, and then stood in place with his hands down, his eyes lowered and his eyebrows lowered, his face expressionless.

The old manager on the side was always paying attention to Guo Fengxian's words and deeds, and when he saw him behaving so calmly in front of the prince, he couldn't help but secretly praise him.

"Uncle Dong, you should step back first. The King of the East Sea said.

The old manager said yes, and walked out of the study quickly.

In the study of Nuoda, only the king of the East China Sea and Guo Fengxian were left, and the depressing atmosphere was spreading sharply, Guo Fengxian felt like a fierce beast was opening its bloody mouth and slowly approaching him.

The king of the East China Sea picked up the silk map on the bookcase and said to Guo Fengxian: "What's the matter with this map? ”

Guo Fengxian took a step forward, stood still and arched his hand: "Dare to ask the prince, can you know the scene in the picture?"

Faced with the questioning of the mighty East China Sea King, Guo Fengxian did not answer in time, but asked rhetorically, if it was seen by those noble-born doormen, he would definitely scold Guo Fengxian for being bold.

The king of the East China Sea didn't care, and said with a smile: "This king has seen a little, but he doesn't understand Mr. Guo's intention to offer the picture." ”

Guo Fengxian took a deep breath, and then said amazingly: "Back to the prince, the picture presented by the student is just a copy of the corner of the whole map, and the student boldly guesses that the prince wants to realize the ambition of the great bird in his heart, if he can get the whole picture, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

The King of the East China Sea listened to Guo Fengxian's words, pondered for a moment, and suddenly rose to life, still holding the silk map in his right hand, he put his hands behind his back, and then walked slowly towards Guo Fengxian.

Every step the King of the East China Sea took, Guo Fengxian felt as if he was stepping on his own heart, almost shattering his heart.

The King of the East China Sea walked up to Guo Fengxian and stood still, a pair of eyes as deep as the sea stared at Guo Fengxian tightly, and a huge invisible coercion emanated from his body to envelop Guo Fengxian.

Guo Fengxian was sweating all of a sudden, and the clothes on his body were wet, but he gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on, and the look on his face did not change at all.

The King of the East China Sea suddenly stretched out his right hand and took Guo Fengxian's left hand, smiled at Guo Fengxian, and said, "Mr. Guo, let's sit down and talk." ”

The king of the East China Sea pulled Guo Fengxian to sit down in front of the coffee table on the west side of the study, and poured tea for Guo Fengxian with his own hands.

Guo Fengxian endured the apprehension in his heart, took the white jade teacup from the hands of the king of the East China Sea with both hands, and after saying thank you, he drank it all in one gulp, and after putting the white jade teacup on the coffee table, Guo Fengxian breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "Lord Wang, this map given to you by the student, its original map is called "Red Dust Territory Map", Kyushu five mountains, five lakes and four seas, eight wilderness and three mountains are all in it. ”

After hearing this, the King of the East China Sea lowered his head and muttered for a moment before he said, "May I ask Mr. Guo, who is the 'Red Dust Territory Map' you said in someone's hands now?"

"This picture is in the hands of the old King of Chu, and he hung it in the Yunmeng Pavilion. Guo Fengxian condensed his gaze and spit out word by word in his mouth.

Although the King of the East China Sea tried his best to hide it, the trace of surprise that flashed in his eyes was still captured by Guo Fengxian.

"It seems that not only does this king underestimate my brother Wang, but I am afraid that the world also underestimates this mediocre old King of Chu. The King of the East Sea smiled bitterly.

Immediately, the king of the East China Sea became emotional, "The world often says that hearing is empty, it seems that in this world, there are really many things that cannot be heard by ears alone, it seems that this king will not be lonely anymore." ”

Guo Fengxian only knew at this time that the king of the East China Sea in front of him was not all as rumored by the outside world, unrestrained and smiling, majestic, fierce as a god, and so on.

In Guo Fengxian's opinion, the first prince of the Gale Dynasty in front of him, except for the momentum of a superior person who always exudes on his body, is as ordinary as an ordinary person in other aspects.

Guo Fengxian didn't hesitate any longer, straightened his waist, and arched his hand to the king of the East China Sea and said, "Lord Wang, how about asking the students to get that "Red Dust Territory Map" for you?"

The King of the East China Sea looked at Guo Fengxian with interest and asked with a smile, "Can you do it?"

Guo Fengxian lowered his hands and calmly faced the king of the East China Sea and said: "With the prince, you support the students, and the students will definitely live up to their mission." ”

The king of the East China Sea did not immediately express the obvious loyalty shown by Guo Fengxian, but poured Guo Fengxian a full teacup again, and smiled and signaled: "Sir, please drink tea." ”

Guo Fengxian keenly noticed that the king of the East China Sea called him from "Mr. Guo" to "sir", which is an essential difference between the weight of one more word and one less word in the heart of the king of the East China Sea.

The title of "sir" from the king of the East China Sea shows that he has recognized Guo Fengxian as a person, and he no longer regards Guo Fengxian as an outsider in his heart.

Guo Fengxian noticed everything, and immediately couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Wang for your kindness! The student thinks that now is the best time to ask the old Chu King for the "Red Dust Territory Map". ”

The King of the East China Sea did not show due excitement for Guo Fengxian's heartfelt words under his excitement, but said flatly: "Since Mr. already has a strategy in his heart, then the matter of asking the old King Chu for this "Red Dust Territory Map" will be handed over to Mr. to handle, how about it?"

The king of the East China Sea was too happy and made a quick decision, and Guo Fengxian was caught off guard, but it was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to agree to come down first, "Thank you for the trust of the prince, the student must live up to his mission." ”

The King of the East Sea nodded, and showed a smile again, "If you have any requirements, Sir, you can go directly to Uncle Dong, and he will do his best to assist you." ”

Guo Fengxian knew that when it came to this, it was time to get up and leave, so he hurriedly got up from the seat, and then knelt down with his legs bent and saluted, "Thank you, the student is leaving." ”

The king of the East China Sea looked at Guo Fengxian, who turned to leave, his steps were not impatient, nor frivolous, and nodded slightly.

is a talent, it depends on whether he can get the "Red Dust Territory Map".
