Chapter VIII Recruiting Talents
Here, Yi Chu brought Zong Zhengjin into the carriage and asked Zhao Qing to guard outside. Seeing Yi Chu's heavy face, Zong Zhengjin lowered his head silently, I don't know why? She was very afraid of the young and handsome man in front of her, who was only eighteen years old, but had such a mature and rigorous temperament.
After a long time, Yi Chu's cold voice sounded in the car: "Do you remember why you came to Yangzhou?"
"Yes." Zong Zhengjin lowered her head and replied, of course she would not forget who had caused her to this point.
"I also told you that only by being strong can you defeat your enemies." Yi Chu looked at her directly, and Zong Zhengjin immediately raised his head and said, "Sir, don't worry, Ah Jin will try his best to listen to your teachings." ”
"It's not enough for me to teach, behind every successful person there will be countless people who support her to walk, and you also need such people."
"Sir, mean, let me recruit talent?" Zong Zhengjin immediately understood, but she was an eight-year-old princess who would want to follow her.
It seemed that he saw Zong Zhengjin's careful thoughts, and Yi Chu suddenly became serious: "Ah Jin, from now on, you have to put away your childish thoughts, you remember, you are the princess of Jinyang, you still have a big revenge to avenge, you must be mature." "Sir." Zong Zhengjin was frightened by his sudden serious expression, but his words went straight to her heart like magic, making her feel her blood boiling, and her misty eyes gradually became clear, yes, she is Princess Jinyang, she is not a little girl who is bullied.
"Sir, Ah Jin understands." Seeing the firmness in Zong Zhengjin's eyes, Yi Chu raised the corners of her lips lightly, the little girl has a very high understanding.
He glanced out the window and said, "There's someone right now who needs you to take over." When Zong Zhengjin heard this, he thought about it and said, "Could it be that Mr. is referring to Tang Lao's seniors?" ”
"No, I'm talking about his son."
"His son?" Zong Zhengjin is confused, who is his son?
"Well, he has a ten-year-old son, who has been smart and studious since he was a child, Tang Qiming will definitely teach his son all martial arts, Ah Jin, if this son is subdued, he will definitely become your right-hand man one day." Listening to what Yi Chu said, Zong Zhengjin also understood a little, but there was still a problem,
"But is that senior Tang willing to let his son follow me?"
"Then it depends on your ability as Princess Jinyang." Yi Chu didn't want to meddle in this matter, only if she accepted it herself, that person would obey her in the future. Zong Zhengjin saw that he didn't want to help, so he had to pout and think of countermeasures by himself.
However, she was very curious about one thing, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still asked, "Sir, how do you know that someone has a son?" "I know it so clearly.
Yi Chu opened his eyes slightly, leaned against the wall of the car, and replied nonchalantly: "As long as Xuanji Pavilion wants to check, there is nothing that can't be checked." "Zong Zhengjin suddenly brightened, yes, there is the entire Xuanji Pavilion behind him, the Xuanji Pavilion is so powerful, what can't be done?
"When the national teacher died, shouldn't you be the head? Why don't you go back? As far as she knows, today's national teacher was recommended by the Xu family, and he is definitely not a good person.
"There's no hurry, I'll go back." Yi Chu's voice was faint, but Zong Zhengjin keenly felt a trace of coldness. She didn't dare to say anything more, and obediently closed her eyes and thought about her own thoughts. Yi Chu slowly opened his eyes, and there was a little more hatred in his eyes.
The group finally arrived at the cottage before dark, Tang Qiming hid the village very well, surrounded by three mountains, with forests in front, it was indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. As soon as he entered the village, a boy in a purple robe walked up, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and saluted Tang Qiming with a respectful face, "Daddy is back." ”
"Yes." Looking at the docile son in front of him, Tang Qiming had a smile on his face, if he Tang Qiming was most proud, it was the son of this talented and sensitive man, although he had no mother since he was a child, but his temperament was gentle and filial.
"Come, Yi'er, this is my father's guest, Mr. Yi Chu, this is the little princess of Jinyang." Tang Qiming brought him to them, and Tang Yi politely called "Sir", but for Zong Zhengjin, he just smiled and nodded, and didn't seem to realize the respect for the princess.
"This is Xiao Er Tang Yi." Yi Chu looked at him and nodded, just like he thought, he was a good seedling.
Zong Zhengjin just glanced at him, and then looked elsewhere. The attentive Tang Yi saw her displeasure, but he was at a loss, he didn't seem to have offended this beautiful little princess. After everyone had a simple meal together, Yi Chu was called away by Tang Qiming, and Zong Zhengjin went to the arranged room to rest.
Looking at this simple and old house, Zhao Qing couldn't help but complain: "Princess, do we really want to live in such a house?" Will there be snakes here at night? ”
"No, don't worry, we'll only stay for one night, and you'll just take it." Zong Zhengjin walked to the window as he spoke, pushed open the dusty window, and looked up, only to see that under the dark night sky, there were many stars, twinkling and twinkling, very beautiful.
"The mother concubine said that after death, people will turn into stars in the sky to protect the people she loves, Xiaoqing, which star do you say is the mother concubine? And is Zhao's mother also there? Zhao Qing walked to her side, looked up, and said, "It may be the brightest one, Shen Niangniang is so kind and beautiful, she will definitely become the brightest star, the little star next to her should be grandma, she will not be far away from Shen Niangniang." ”
"Yes." Zong Zhengjin followed the direction pointed by Zhao Qing and looked at the two stars in a trance. Until the sound of sword practice woke her up, listening to the sound of sword not far away, she frowned slightly: "It's so late, who is practicing sword?" Let's go, let's take a look. "Anyway, I can't sleep now, go out for a walk, Zong Zhengjin pulled Zhao Qing out of the house.
The two walked to a meadow with a sound, only to see a purple figure waving the sword in his hand, under the light of the moon, the sword body flashed with cold light, shaking her eyes hurt, but she could see his flowing posture, Zong Zhengjin felt that this person's martial arts were extraordinary, she took a closer look, only to find that the person turned out to be Tang Yi, it seems that what Mr. said is right, Tang Yi is indeed a talent.
Suddenly, Tang Yi took a sword flower, collected the sword perfectly, and when he turned around, he saw the two masters and servants of Zong Zhengjin, which really startled him. Before he could speak, Zong Zhengjin took a step forward and said with a smile: "Brother Tang is worthy of being Tang Qiming's son, and his martial arts are outstanding." ”
"The princess has won the prize, but it's just a joke." Tang Yi is very modest, obviously only ten years old, but he is so old in acting and talking, thinking of what Mr. explained to her, Zong Zhengjin asked casually: "You have such talent, have you ever thought about doing a big career?" ”
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and replied: "A man should be successful and famous, why does the princess ask like this?" ”
"It's a pity that you don't serve the country with this talent, but if you follow your father, I'm afraid you won't be able to display your talent for the rest of your life."
"How can you say that?" As if he had been told something in his heart, Tang Yi was a little annoyed and angry, under the light of the moon, Zong Zhengjin seemed to be able to see the blush on his face, for her who had been observing words and expressions since she was a child, she quickly saw through Tang Yi's thoughts, she chuckled and said: "Is this princess talking nonsense, you must be clear, are you really willing to stay in this cottage for the rest of your life?" As soon as Zhao Qing on the side heard that the princess called herself "this princess", she knew that Zong Zhengjin was serious.
"If I wanted to make a contribution, my father would have agreed to me." Tang Yi argued.
"Hehe, are you sure?" Zong Zhengjin smiled brightly, but Tang Yi's eyes hurt, and she said: "Your father is so disappointed in the imperial court now, if there is no new hope, this princess is sure that he will not let his precious son go out of the village to build a business." ”
Hearing this, Tang Yi was silent, the princess was right, his father had never wanted him to have contact with the imperial court, even if he had learned all his martial arts at the age of ten, he would not let him out of the village.
"What does the princess think I should do?" Tang Yi felt that the little princess in front of him would definitely have a way.
"It's easy, follow Princess Ben." "What? Following you? Tang Yi's eyes widened, and told him to follow a little girl, it was better to follow his father.
expected him to have such a reaction, Zong Zhengjin didn't care, and continued: "As long as you follow me and are willing to assist me, this princess guarantees that you will make contributions in the future." ”
"But you are a woman, why should I believe you?"
"Just because I am the princess of Jinyang, the only princess in Beicang who has a fief now, and now the entire Yangzhou is the princess's." Zong Zhengjin's serious and arrogant appearance surprised Tang Yi, an eight-year-old girl, but she exuded a majestic aura all over her body, which made people dare not underestimate him, and he even had the urge to bow down in front of her.
He froze down, and said in an impatient voice, "Even if you can convince me, you may not be able to convince my father." ”
Zong Zhengjin smiled lightly and said, "Senior Tang, this princess will be persuaded by herself, but once your father agrees, you must go with me." ”
"Okay, if you can convince my father, Tang Yi is willing to follow you." Tang Yi replied a little defiantly.
Zong Zhengjin got the reply, turned around and left,
"Hey, where are you going?" "Go and convince your father." Zong Zhengjin said as he walked, this matter has to be done as soon as possible. "So fast!" Before Tang Yi could react, Zong Zhengjin had already walked away with Zhao Qing, Tang Yi was secretly anxious, and hurriedly chased after him.
Zong Zhengjin and Tang Yi entered the main hall one after the other, Tang Qiming was talking to Yi Chu, and when he saw them coming, he was a little surprised, Yi Chu saw that Zong Zhengjin's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Ah Jin, why are you here without rest so late?" ”
Zong Zhengjin glanced at him and did not answer, but walked up to Tang Qiming, opened his mouth and said, "Senior Tang, this princess came today to discuss something with you. "What's the matter?" Tang Qiming was a little curious, what could this little princess do to him?
Zong Zhengjin glanced at Tang Yi behind him, and said in a loud voice: "Let Tang Yi follow this princess, and this princess will ensure that he will soar in the future." As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, where did this little princess get her confidence to dare to speak like this. Yi Chu was also shocked, he didn't expect her to make a move so quickly, but seeing that her beautiful phoenix eyes were full of confidence, Yi Chu inexplicably believed that she could.
