Chapter Seventy-Seven: Suspension of Appointment

After retiring from the dynasty that day, Nangong Feng also noticed Nangong Xue's distress, so he walked over and patted her shoulder gently, encouraging: "Xiaoxue, Dad believes that you will be able to endure this period of time, it's good to pass, get used to it slowly." This is the imperial court. When Nangong Xue heard her father's words of encouragement, she raised her head slightly, faintly replied to Nangong Feng with a smile, and said, "Dad, don't worry, my daughter knows how to do it." After seeing that Nangong Xue also understood what she meant, Nangong Feng nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. In this way, the father and daughter wanted to follow back to the mansion.

……

……

After a night of thinking, Nangong Xue felt that it was not the same as the early appointment and the late appointment anyway, it was better to take up the post first, as for the matter of teaching, it could be postponed, there were so many objections above the court, Nangong Xue also had some consideration in her heart, not to mention whether she was worried about the impact on the future, let's just say that now the gossip has to give some time to transition and precipitate.

So, early the next morning, Nangong Xue came to the Guozijian with the holy decree and went to work first, and his name was hung on the Guozijian.

After returning to Beixuan Academy, before Nangong Xue got off the carriage, Ling Huyi stood in front of the gate of the academy and said lukewarmly: "Welcome to the head of the Guozi Prison." Nangong Xue was taken aback by Ling Huyi's trick like this, and then glanced at Ling Huyi and said, "Teacher, please, can you not play with me like this next time?" Scared me to death, and besides, you said that I was here or something? Why do students think that you mean something in your words, teacher? ”

"Hahahaha......." After listening to Nangong Xue's words, Ling Huyi first laughed twice, and then said lightly: "It's really worthy of being my student." is also worthy of being the daughter of the Nangong family, and her brain is turning quite fast, but the teacher doesn't understand a little, why am I scared of you, I'm standing here, no one else said scared, why did you get scared? Could it be that you mean that I still want to tell you, slow down before getting out of the car, pay attention to your feet, pay attention to your surroundings, and be careful to scare you? ”

“……。” Being teased by Ling Huyi, Nangong Xue obviously didn't know what to say, so she responded with a defeated look, "Okay, okay, it's the student, I'm not, the student doesn't mean that, please don't mind, teacher." It's just that the student is distracted and suddenly frightened, and it has nothing to do with the teacher. ”

"Look at you, I didn't say anything, why did you apologize to me?" Ling Huyi smiled slightly and said lightly, "Okay, don't say so much, you don't have any class time today, come with me, I have something to say." After speaking, Nangong Xue said "um" and followed Ling Huyi to the pavilion of the academy.

After the two sat on the stone bench, Ling Huyi said lightly: "Xiaoxue, I still have to ask you something as usual." I hope you can answer me truthfully, I promise not to spread the word, okay? ”

As soon as Nangong Xue heard it, she knew what Ling Huyi was going to ask her, and she said lightly: "Teacher, I understand what you want to ask the student, the student still answers the same as back then, and it is really not me who you are looking for." ”

"Isn't it?" Ling Huyi was obviously a little puzzled, he felt that with years of observation, he had reason to believe that Nangong Xue was the person he was looking for, so he retorted, "But why do I think it's you?" I've been thinking about this for the past few years, and your actions in the past three or four years have made me feel like you're the person I'm looking for. How? Can't you tell the truth to your teacher? ”

Listening to Ling Huyi's further questioning, Nangong Xue quickly thought in her mind, how to answer, she thought about not knowing how big the difference would be between knowing and knowing, "Since the teacher asked me this time and didn't answer and prevaricated, then there can be a second and third time, what does it mean to always ask me like this?" What do you want to do? I don't think I'm doing anything good in this matter, what I've done in the past few years has been from my own point of view, I think it's good, but I don't think it's really any good for the empire as the teacher said. Ay. It's really annoying. Isn't it just a worn-out book, I have to get to the bottom of it. Does it make sense? Otherwise, bet once. Anyway, the teacher shouldn't be an outsider, he is so close to my father, theoretically he won't be 'sold'. ”

So Nangong Xue gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and said, "Teacher, why do you always ask this question?" What's the point? Know who is so important or? ”

Ling Huyi nodded lightly and said: "Meaningful and important, I have my reason for always asking this question." ”

“……。” When Nangong Xue heard this, she paused and replied, "Then if the teacher knows, he won't spread the word, right?" After speaking, Linghu nodded lightly and responded, "No." ”

Then Nangong Xue lowered her tone and said softly: "Since everything has been said about this, then it is pointless for me to hide it, right?" Teacher, you are so wise, you already have the answer, right? Having said this, Ling Hu Yi nodded slightly in understanding. Then Nangong Xue continued: "Hey, to be honest, I read that old book, and I didn't want to admit it at the time that I heard my father say that even the emperor sent someone to find someone who had read that book, so the student wondered if he shouldn't read that book, which alarmed the emperor, and the student was worried that he would cause trouble for his father, so he didn't dare to admit it at the time, hoping that the teacher could understand the student's mind." ”

"Is that really why you didn't admit it at the time?" Ling Huyi was still a little reluctant to believe it, so he asked rhetorically, "If it's that simple, then you didn't tell me at the time that you were afraid of me?" I'm afraid I'll tell the emperor or what? You still have to hide it from the teacher, I am friends with your grandfather, what do you think I know will affect you? Or what effect does it have on your father and grandfather? You, you, you're a big ghost, no wonder your father sent you to Beixuan, and specially told me to take care of you, your careful thinking is really hard to understand. ”

"It's that simple. ……。 Nangong Xue lowered her voice and tried to defend herself, "...... Everyone is afraid of the emperor, who will know if he will not pay attention or if he says it, this is not ....... ”

"Good fellow, you little man, you think a lot." Ling Huyi frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "How much do you trust the teacher?" I can't believe the teacher's decades-long friendship with your family. ……。 Okay, I know, girl, don't worry, it's enough for the teacher to know that the person who read the book is you, the teacher won't go outside to talk nonsense, but you really have a lot of eyes, you think so much at the age of five, it seems that you are really a monkey, with your father's demeanor. ”

"Teacher, what you said, students don't dare to be." Nangong Xue hurriedly excused herself, "It's really my father's true inheritance." ”

“……。” Ling Huyi looked at Nangong Xue silently after listening to what Nangong Xue said, and Nangong Xue showed a pitiful expression asking for forgiveness, which made Ling Huyi feel pity, so he said lightly, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't ask." But....... After speaking, Ling Huyi couldn't help but become a little stricter, paused a little and continued calmly: "But to get back to the point, what are you going to do next as the head of the Guozijian Sect?" ”

"Hey......." Nangong Xue let out a long sigh and said, "Speaking of which, I'm also worried, and I don't know what the emperor thinks, pushing me to such a tuyere to blow the wind, how do I think there is something in this official?" But let's be honest, I don't want to go right away, I want to talk about it slowly. Now it's blowing up over there, and I'm only going to be the mud bodhisattva crossing the river at this moment. ”

"Looks like you're thinking a lot." Ling Huyi said lightly, "Anyway, in terms of official character, you are now my superior, you can do whatever you want, but if you have any problems or difficulties in between, you can come to me." Your father has already greeted me, and asked me to help you be the head of the country. ”

"It seems that my dad is really thoughtful." Nangong Xue said lightly, "Then I will have to trouble you a lot in the future." After speaking, he bowed to Ling Huyi.

"Girl, don't talk to me if you have something to say," Ling Huyi saw it, as if he had read something, and warned, "Your father is also for your good, don't think about it." ”

“……。” Nangong Xue nodded slightly and said, "Yes, ......, the student knows." Then when Teacher Lao saw my father, I asked you to tell her old man: I will watch it in the future, and I am not a three-year-old child who doesn't know anything. Teacher, if you don't have anything to do, can I go, always talking here, it will make people think that I have committed something. I don't want to go anywhere. ”

"Well," Ling Huyi nodded and said, "Then you can be busy, so I won't delay you." After saying that, Nangong Xue stood up and left, Ling Huyi sat in the pavilion, looking at Nangong Xue's back as she gradually moved away, Ling Huyi felt that Nangong Xue had grown up and achieved a lot. But Ling Huyi thought that Nangong Feng's favor with him was not groundless, so Ling Huyi understood the meaning of Nangong Feng in his heart. He whispered to himself: "Nangong Xue will ask you in the future, I believe that it should be no problem to assist the emperor to stabilize the Xuanwu Empire with your ability, and you will definitely be able to do a good job." ”
