Chapter Seventy-Eight: Making Up Stories
In this competition, Yan Guiyi undoubtedly won the top spot again, but the other princes still had to divide the rankings, so he could only wait for the time being.
Raising his head, Yan Guiyi wanted to say a few words to Su Junbao, discuss the next things, or share the joy, but Su Junbao's eyes were not looking at him at all, the corners of Yan Guiyi's mouth moved, and he could only choose to be silent for the time being, he knew that now was not the time, the eldest brother had explained, here he was the master, Su Junbao was a servant, and no one would take the initiative to ask for the opinion of an inferior servant for no reason.
How many pairs of eyes are looking at it, people who can mix in the officialdom, observe words and looks, what kind of human spirit each is, as long as they are a little careless, they will see the clues, you must know that Yan Guiyi is in his distant and barren fiefdom, there is not much possibility of contact with advanced martial arts, and his performance just now is by no means covered up with the word talent.
"This little prince's martial arts talent is wonderful, I don't know where he learned from him, what swordsmanship has he practiced before?" That Deacon Li really asked, seemingly careless, but in fact, his eyes flickered.
"Back to the adult, when the child was in the fiefdom home, he once met a strange person passing by, and saw that my son was smart and clever, and he liked it very much, so he pointed out a few tricks, and the child was studious and practiced from time to time, so that he had today's achievement, and made the adults laugh!" Concubine Xue Ming replied for him.
"Oh, but I don't know who the strange man is, and who his name is? Who is it? Someone who can have such cultivation in swordsmanship, this deacon is really curious! Deacon Lee asked again.
"I don't know this!"
Concubine Xue Ming shook her head: "That person refused to say his name and origin, he came to me in the middle of winter last year, and he was going to go north, saying that he wanted to catch some golden-clothed snow silkworms, but he was hindered by the wind and snow and the cold, so he stayed in the city for two or three months, and left at the beginning of spring, and he has not seen him since!" ”
When Concubine Xue Ming said these words, three pairs of eyes were also staring at her, that was the current triumvirate of Xi Xue Country, in the power field, they could be mixed in their position, and the flaws in anyone's words and deeds would not escape their eyes.
Today, what happened to Yan Guiyi is really abnormal.
Anyone can make up stories, but if you want to make it up, make it up, and say it well, but not everyone can do it, Xue Mingfei's words have been practiced countless times, her demeanor is calm, and she can't see the slightest flaw, especially when she mentioned the four words of the golden silkworm, the deacon Li's eyes lit up.
He knew that it was a poisonous insect species produced in the far north, extremely rare, and few people had heard of it, and it was used to spit out the fabric woven of silk with an incomparable blade, but it was invulnerable to fire and water, and the sword was difficult to hurt, and there were many magical effects, it was the best material for making all kinds of treasure clothes, and only a small piece the size of a palm could be sold at an extremely high price.
The golden-clothed snow silkworm is good, it may be extremely difficult to catch it, it only grows in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, the body is extremely toxic, and the poisonous mist that spits out, even if it is a warrior in the ancient realm, as long as it touches a little, it is possible that the whole body will festered and die, yes, in the northern region, there is no person who can catch and subdue it, here, every warrior in the ancient realm is a hegemon, either rich or expensive, most people are sparing their lives, there is no need to risk their lives to catch such a poisonous insect, plus it is made of clothes at a very high price, Rare in the heart of the Central Empire, many people here have never heard of it, let alone be able to call it by name.
Deacon Li could judge that the strange person in Concubine Xue Ming's mouth must be an insect catcher from the Central Empire, and his cultivation must have reached the level of demi-saint or above, and he came here just to collect some rare treasures.
It is not surprising that Yan Guiyi can have a half-saint to guide him, and he will see through a four-grade martial art in a short period of time.
"Thinking about it, it must be a half-saint master, the little prince can get his guidance, it's really gratifying, I don't know that the half-saint master may have accepted the little prince as a disciple, if the official is lucky, he can also pay respects!" Deacon Lee said again.
Half-saint! The people around were amazed, and for the people of a small place, this was a word that was so far away and unattainable.
"Nope!"
Concubine Xue Ming shook her head: "That person is just idle and has nothing to do, giving me a few tricks, I have begged with me and my son, but the person has not answered, I am also afraid of annoying him, so I didn't mention it again until I left, and I didn't even know my name!" ”
"Oh! I see! Everyone who heard it suddenly understood.
A half-saint apprentice, how harsh the conditions are, if Xue Ming Concubine said yes, most people here would not believe it, thinking that people were just idle and bored in winter, pointing out two tricks to pass the time, and they didn't take a fancy to their mother and son at all, otherwise they wouldn't even bother to tell their names.
Many people think in their hearts, they don't believe it, and they don't want to admit that a pair of down-and-out princesses, mothers and sons will have such good luck, they don't deserve it!
Including the deacon who asked the question, although he asked with a smile, it was difficult to hide the contempt in his eyes, not only for Concubine Xue Ming, but also for everyone present.
In his mind, how could a noble demi-saint of the Central Empire look down on a poor and remote person and accept him as an apprentice, or covet the beauty of this princess, do any transactions behind her back, and give her some benefits and send it away, it is difficult to say, after all, this princess is in her prime and has lived in a fief for many years, even if she does it, no one will know.
Of course, if Yan Guiyi really worships under a half-holy gate, then the situation will be very different, I am afraid that even if they borrow the courage of the three major families, they will not dare to murder him.
The premise is that no one will believe it, and it only makes sense why Yan Guiyi suddenly became talented.
After speaking, Xue Mingfei glanced at the boy next to her out of the corner of her eyes, if he was willing to accept her as an apprentice, how good would it be, wouldn't it be beautiful to be a teacher for one day and a father for life?
He entered the palace at the age of fifteen, but he was accompanied by an old and frail old monarch, who was tired of dealing with the intrigues of the palace all day long, and did not enjoy much love in the world at all.
If her prince can really ascend to the throne this time, Concubine Xue Ming will have to think about the rest of her life, after all, she is only in her thirties, and she still has a lot of good years.
The boy was young, but mentally mature beyond his years, and strong!
Su Junbao didn't know what the woman next to him was thinking, he just wanted to end it early, entrust Xiaoxi and them, and then he could grow quietly to the point where he thought he was strong enough to get out of the wilderness, and even if he knew, it wouldn't be strange, after all, everyone has the right to make their lives better.
The folk customs here are still very barbaric and backward, sometimes close to primitive, Su Junbao has lived for many years and has long been accustomed to it.
After chatting, the other three princes who were still competing in the field also divided the winners and losers and the results!
