Chapter 188: Change
In the camp of the envoy group, in the account of Lord Li Wenmin, who was asking about Feng Yinqiu, who had just returned from Oroyusta.
And before the wind Yinqiu, the old man of the Zhang family actually came back first to report the good news. Originally, he was still sick and had no strength to speak, and Master Li, when he heard the old man of the Zhang family say that the chairman of the academy also came forward to formally invite the envoys, Feng Yinqiu also beat a prestigious big family that couldn't raise his head, and immediately felt sick, and his face was a little more bloody.
"I also heard from Mr. Makisai that the... What is that long, it is the wine of the prince of the former dynasty of Europe...... It is said that the sacrificial wine has a very high reputation in Naoroyosta, and he has an official position in the former dynasty, and he can be regarded as the first person in the capital of that country, since he has opened his mouth, even if he acknowledges the origin of my envoy. Everything pays attention to a name, and I want to be a great Qianyang Heavenly Empire, but it is difficult to move forward in this exotic land of Europe, precisely because its name is not right, and the European barbarians do their own thing...... By the way, were the Inclaves there?
Feng Yinqiu replied: "In a hurry, I didn't meet with Incre's people, but the chairman also told them personally, and they didn't dare to save the chairman's face." β
"Your Excellency, peace of mind. Although the Incre people are a little more brutal and vulgar, they are still the heirloom noble gate lords after all, and the basic etiquette is not less, and since the priest opened his mouth in front of everyone, they dare not pretend not to hear. The old man of the Zhang family on the side said slowly. As he spoke, he picked up the whining kettle on the small red clay stove on the coffee table next to him, poured three cups of tea, and sent them to Feng Yinqiu and Master Li respectively. "And the old man has already spread the word among the capital, detailing the rudeness of the people of Incre, and they will still have to be faceless after all. Mr. Wind's surprise to the Euros was all the more helpful. β
"Exactly. There are Mr. Lao Feng and Mr. Lao Muzhai. Mr. Mu Zhai's kung fu is really like flowing water, but it has a steady meaning like a pine and cypress, and there is no one who can have it in China. This tea is also fragrant and mellow, and the branches and leaves of Shenzhou can take root in this foreign country without damaging the charm of it, and even surpass it, which is really rare, and it is really like Mr. Mu Zhai. Master Li picked up the teacup in his hand and sniffed it gently, and then exclaimed. "And Mr. Mu Zhai is so old, but he still has to go back and forth for the official affairs of the envoys, the official is really guilty. β
Mr. Zhang shook his head again and again and said: "Where is it, my Shenzhou ethnic group is like rootless duckweed in this European land, and now I have to meet the envoys of the Great Qian, just like the young lost baby suddenly meets a loving mother, I can run left and right, and do my best, it is already a great joy, where to say hard work." β
Feng Yinqiu drank tea on the side and didn't speak, he had seen and heard too much of this kind of conversation, and he was a little numb. Speaking of which, he still admires the old man of the Zhang family a little, not to mention anything else, he obviously saw that he was still in Oroyosta, but after receiving the news of the conflict between himself and the Fernandez family, he immediately rushed back to report the good news.
At this time, Mr. Zhang turned to Feng Yinqiu and asked: "By the way, Mr. Feng, I heard that you had a conflict with the Fernandez family because of the singer Ulysses, and I don't know ...... about it."
Looking at the meaning of 'just waiting for you to say' on his face, Feng Yinqiu didn't know what gossip this seemingly loyal old slippery head had received, but he didn't bother to guess, and he didn't think about hiding the past, so he said directly: "I also just want to share this matter with Mr. Zhang, do you know who Ulysses is? β
"Ahh......h
It didn't take long for the two young men, Zhang Yili and Zeng Wenyuan, who came back with Feng Yinqiu, to Master Li's tent together. Zhang Jinli naturally changed out of the costume of Ulysses, and together with Zeng Wenyuan, he honestly took out the appearance of the elders to pay respects. Although they are all mixed up in their own world, they have been taught very strictly since they were children, and they dare not be presumptuous at this time.
However, Master Li Wenmin's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a pair of handsome young men and women." The Zhang family is really talented from generation to generation, no wonder Mr. Mu Zhai had that suggestion before...... Ahem..."
Uncle Zhang was not in the mood to respond to the perfunctory Master Li at this time, he just looked at his granddaughter in a daze, and nodded after a while: "Okay, okay, even grandpa didn't expect that you would make such a name for yourself in that Oroyusta." Although I knew that you were uninhibited by nature and pampered by your Euro mother, I never imagined that you would get to the point where you are now. You don't think it's good if you make some fame in Oroyusta, it's just a prostitute who entertains people with lust and is a ninth-rate thing, if it weren't for Mr. Feng's full help this time, I think you can only fall into the hands of that Euro nobleman to survive and not die. If there is any accident with Mr. Feng, the old man will definitely kill his relatives in righteousness, and the Zhang family has never had such an evil obstacle as you!"
The more Uncle Zhang talked, the more angry he became, and in the end, he slapped the table, and the tea on the table jumped. Zhang Yili just lowered his head and was silent, and Zeng Wenyuan, who was behind, couldn't help but look up.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Feng Yinqiu used his hand a little, and the teacup and water that were slapped up fell back smoothly. "In fact, in my opinion, it is not easy for my niece to make such a career. Although this art is a pastime, it has a great influence among the Euro people, and I don't know how many families want to invite her to perform, which can be regarded as a glory to my Shenzhou ethnicity. I can't say that we will have to deal with those Euro nobles in this Oroyosta in the future, and we will have to use the girl of Ori a lot. β
"Those European barbarians don't know etiquette and morality, so they are just keen on some obscene songs of the ninth rank. Mr. Zhang shook his head angrily. This time the old man did not pretend, in the concept of Confucian disciples, no matter how popular the drama is, it is also a play, and it is the most lowly business like a prostitute, although he has been in Europe for decades, he knows that the folk customs here are somewhat different from Shenzhou, and the pragmatic place is even more different from the Confucian scholars in Shenzhou, but after all, the lifelong heirloom of poetry and books, the fundamental concept is extremely difficult to reverse. Fortunately, after looking at Feng Yinqiu, Mr. Zhang seemed to have regained some of his heart and hope, stood up and bowed to Feng Yinqiu: "That's really Mr. Feng who is tired of disciplining this naughty granddaughter for the old man." As long as Mr. Feng doesn't mind the vulgarity of this European opera, of course, it is the best, but this is an eventful time, so it is better for her to follow Mr. Feng to deal with those Euros for Mr. Feng. β
"Exactly. Master Li also nodded again and again. "Mr. Feng is now the Optimus Jade Pillar of my envoys, and what he supports is the face of my Great Qiantian Dynasty, and it is precisely the need for someone like the Zhang family girl who is familiar with the nobles of Europe to help you. As for whether you want to use the music skills of the Zhang family girl to make friends with the Euro people...... You can also consider it slowly......"
"This ......" Feng Yinqiu was a little speechless, it seems that Old Man Zhang has hollowed out his mind to stuff his granddaughter to himself, and even Li Wenmin has greeted him in advance, this can be used in the name of righteousness, and it is not even good to excuse himself. At this time, he could only temporarily change the topic and pointed to Zeng Wenyuan next to him. "This is the son of Zeng Lin, the leader of the Oroyusta Shenzhou clan, who has been secretly learning the Arcane of Europe, and now has the level of the Three Rings. I think if I have the chance, I should send him to the Arcane Academy to study hard, and don't let down this rare talent. β
Lord Li didn't react when he heard this, but Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up. There are also people in the Zhang family who have worked hard to learn the arcane, of course he also knows how difficult the level of these three rings is, and the eyes that looked at Zeng Wenyuan were suddenly a little different, and he turned his head to Li Wenmin and explained: "This European arcane is like Confucianism in this European state, it is a unique manifest learning, but those barbarians have always despised my Shenzhou ethnic group and refused to teach us the essentials. This young man has such a rare talent, which is extremely rare among the people of Nauro. β
"Wen Yuan, you have such a talent, why didn't you say it earlier? Your father never mentioned it to me. Turning to Zeng Wenyuan again, Mr. Zhang was completely pleasant, completely different from the voice that scolded Zhang Jinli just now.
"Grandpa, my father actually knew that I was studying arcane, but he didn't ask about it very often. My level has never been high, but it was only later that I was funded by Sister Yuli's singing, and it was only by chance that I broke through to the point where I am today. Zeng Wenyuan's answer was honest, and his expression didn't look unusual.
"Good, good. I also know that the arcane arts are extremely expensive, and that she can help you, and it is not all nonsense for her to be the singer. As Mr. Wind said, you have such a talent, you really should go to further your education, and let those barbarians know that my Divine Race is not human even in their arcane way. Don't worry about money, if you have the opportunity to study at the Arcane Academy this time, all the expenses are in my Zhang family's name, you just need to concentrate on studying. β
Master Li on the side said: "Mr. Mu Zhai, it is important to correct the name of my Shenzhou ethnicity, but the distinction between priority and priority must not be forgotten. That's just the small way of the European barbarians, and the study of the saints is the orthodox way. This young man is so intelligent, and he can't relax in the slightest in the meaning of the saint's scriptures, and only learn the Euro arcane art, what if he is led astray?
"Yes, yes, thanks to the reminder of the adult, the old decay was almost negligent. Although Wen Yuan is a distant nephew of my Zhang family, he has been running with his father since he was a child, and he is also busy with mundane affairs, so he has not taken much care of his studies. β
"Oh, that's got to be done, it's a fundamental oversight. If Mr. Makisai can't spare time, you can let him come to the official and be taught by the official himself......"
No matter what Mr. Zhang and Master Li said over there, Zeng Wenyuan was quiet, as if he was really just a good boy who was gentle and gentle, but in the depths of those Danfeng eyes, the flames were just getting stronger and stronger.
It wasn't until he met the two elders that he arranged their respective living tents in the camp, and after everything was ready, Zeng Wenyuan found Zhang Jinli's tent, walked in and took a closer look, and then used an arcane technique to isolate the sound, and then sighed heavily, and all kinds of anger and impatience erupted from that handsome face.
"Sister Ori, are we really like this, just putting ourselves under their wing and control?"
Zeng Wenyuan looked at Zhang Yili and asked angrily. If Feng Yinqiu saw his appearance here, he would find that this young man was only completely 'alive' at this time, neither like the peaceful and gentle Sven boy before, nor far from being so passionate and arrogant on the theater stage, the expression on his face, his tone, every trace of muscle flick and every pore escaping outwards of the temperament, can be seen to be very different from before, even if he closes his eyes, he can clearly feel from the aura that this is a spiritual, intelligent, and very sensitive teenager. And it seems that because he is too sensitive, he seems to easily fall into depression or anxiety, such as now.
"Actually, that's not bad, at least you don't have to worry about this and that all day long. I finally got some rest. Zhang Jinli leaned on the head of the bed and looked at the book, looking leisurely, just glanced at the anxious young man and put his eyes back on the book in his hand. "After explaining this to my grandfather, the biggest stone in my heart has fallen. And doesn't it look okay now, to be honest, I'm a little tired of sneaking around and performing all the time. I think the most tiring thing is to try to deal with those fans, who can accept the gift to show a little affection, who must draw a line to make them retreat, and then hint at who has something bad about them, let them fight themselves...... It's very tiring to think about these all day long, it's much more tiring than performing on stage, and it's very boring. β
Speaking of this, the girl covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, as if she had been nervous and running around all the time made her really tired, the original somewhat heroic temperament showed a bit of coquettishness and charm, and the young man on the side looked at her quietly, as if he wanted to put her in his eyes.
"Don't you really know what your grandfather wants you to do? The boy said suddenly.
"What?" Zhang was stunned.
"Your grandfather wants to use you to curry favor with the envoys. Zeng Wenyuan said coldly. "I overheard what my father heard talking to your grandfather, although he didn't explain it, he only said that he arranged a good marriage for you, and if it can be done, it will be of great benefit to the Zhang family and all the Shenzhou people in Europe. Before, I thought that he was going to push you to the head of the envoy group to give him some kind of reward to Lord Li, and the one surnamed Feng was the lackey he sent to arrest you, but now it seems that this is not the case. And it seems to want to stuff you to the guy surnamed Wind. Judging from the attitude of your grandfather and Master Li, the surname Feng is not just the chief of staff of this envoy group. β
"It's... Wouldn't it?" Zhang Jinli's expression became very weird, as if he couldn't cry or laugh, his pretty face was a little red, and he sneered after a pause and thought. "No, even if they really think so, Uncle Feng won't agree. He's a good friend of Uncle High Priest, and he's a hero who can stand up to something as colossal as the FernΓ‘ndez family on his own, but he just thinks I'm a child. β
"Then what are you going to do?" Zeng Wenyuan asked as he looked at her. "Your grandfather pushed you towards the guy surnamed Feng, are you really honest as his assistant? and then wait for them to get acquainted with the nobles somewhere, and then dress you up as Ulysses and let you go to the show?"
"What else can I do?" Zhang Yili glanced at him. "It's better to be sneaky than before. Besides, what Grandpa and they do is also for the good things of our Shenzhou ethnic group, even if it is for them, it should be done. β
"No! Just with their corrupt and ignorant ways of saints, how can they bring any benefits to the Shenzhou ethnic group?" Zeng Wenyuan's voice and expression suddenly became intense. "You heard their conversation just now, and every word smacks disgustingly rancid. Your grandfather is flattering for another purpose, but that Master Li really believes in his set of sage knowledge. I have long heard from the people of the Zhang family that this envoy group has all gone all the way is the credit of Feng and another mage, and this Lord Li is useless but occupies the position of leader, just because he is a scholar under the so-called sage. How could such a rotten Dao system and culture be useful? Even those orcs in the southern steppes who chose a chieftain knew to choose the strongest and smartest. The remnants of Taisho fled from the Western Shenzhou to this European land, and after so many years of operation, did they have to go back to the past and accept that ignorant and backward culture again?"
Zhang Jinli was stunned, although she was quite impatient with her grandfather's set, she never thought about these problems in the depths.
"Sister Yuli, let's find a chance to go together quietly. Go to Incre. Although he had already cast the arcane technique of isolating sound, Zeng Wenyuan still unconsciously lowered his voice, on the contrary, the light in those eyes was a little frightening. "Our talents should not be buried in the stupid plans of these rotten old people, which is a great waste of life, and a failure of the gifts that the world has given us. Even if we abandon the identities of Ulysses and West, the two of us can start from scratch, and only create more brilliant and dazzling achievements. β
"Go to Incre, how did you think of going to Incre?" Zhang Yili looked at Zeng Wenyuan in surprise, she had never seen this cousin on his face before. "And how could the two of us go to Inclave? it would be much farther than Oro Yousta to the west coast, and the road would be very uneven, and it would take a long time for the caravan to come once. β
"I know. During this time, I learned a little bit about Inclave, which is a place of freedom, equality, and life, although it is a bit vulgar and not as rich in culture as here in Oroyosta. There is no deep-rooted family like Fernandez, and anyone who is gifted and capable can get his rightful place in dignity. As for how to get there, you don't have to worry, Sister Yili, I must have a way to protect your safety. β
Zhang Yili looked at Zeng Wenyuan in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Xiaowen, are you hiding something from me?"
"Eh... No. The young man replied honestly, but Zhang Jinli knew that this was his expression that he didn't want to speak honestly.
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded outside. The arcane technique used by Zeng Wenyuan just prevented the sound in the tent from being heard, but the sound from outside could still come in as usual.
The two walked out of the tent and saw a team of people and horses outside with several carts of things entering the camp, and the leaders were obviously Euro people, and they were also noble mages in terms of dress, but then there were dozens of Shenzhou ethnic groups holding gongs, drums, and suona, blowing and blowing all the way in. Zhang Jinli's eyes were sharp, and when he looked closely, there were actually a few people from the laundry gang, so he stepped forward and asked.
"Ah, it's Miss Yuli, and Young Master Wenyuan. "The two members of the laundry gang are just the lower members of the gang, and they are all engaged in all kinds of lowly and difficult livelihoods in the Oroyosta, and they greeted each other when they saw them. "Anthony's family doesn't know what's wrong, but they spend a lot of money to find people who can play Shenzhou musical instruments everywhere. It turns out that they are here to give gifts, I heard that this is an envoy from Shenzhou, we have wanted to come and see it for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come here first. β
In the distance, Lord Li Wenmin and Mr. Zhang also walked out of the camp when they heard the sound, and it happened that General Chen came to report with a happy face: "Lord Li, it's from the Anthony family." It turned out that the Incre people had a heavy thank you asked them to give it to us, which was quietly concealed by the two deacons in private, and now it has been found out, and the two deacons have been punished, and the Anthony family not only gave the previous heavy thanks as promised, but also added a compensation, and it is rare that they also went to the capital of the country to find some remnants of the previous dynasty, for fear that others would not know, and sent it over, which seems to be very sincere. β
β...... There is such a thing..... Master Li was also surprised and delighted when he heard this, and suddenly he was stunned as if he had thought of something, and then snorted coldly. β... Hmph, what deacon secretly concealed, I'm afraid that the Anthony family swallowed the money themselves. When the official was in the Ministry of Rites, he saw a lot of the yamen below playing these ghostly tricks, and after goofing, he found two people as scapegoats. They must have made amends with such fanfare, they must have been afraid that the Incre people would be held accountable......"
Speaking of this, Master Li turned to Mr. Zhang next to him and smiled and said, "It seems that this must be the credit of Mr. Mu Zhai who went to Naoroyosta to spread the news everywhere, and those Incre people really still have to be faced." β
