Chapter 290: The Battle for Talent
The Demon Scorpion Tyrant and the Tentacle Corpse Emperor originally had the upper hand, as long as they were given a little more time, they were confident that they would be able to kill Ye Wenzhu, Jiang Youwei and others, but unfortunately, the Azi Corpse Emperor and the Dragon Turtle Corpse Emperor were killed by Xiao Ke one after another, which was no longer as simple as causing a shock to them, it was simply terrifying.
In fact, Xiao Ke killed two corpse emperors in a row, which was already the end of the crossbow.
But the Demon Scorpion Tyrant and the Tentacle Corpse Emperor didn't think about it so much, they were both afraid that they would become the next corpse pillar to die in Xiao Ke's hands, so they both said hello, threw down their opponents, and fled in embarrassment.
Ye Wenzhu, Jiang Youwei, Emperor Shitian, and Qi Heng were also greatly relieved.
After a few people breathed a sigh of relief, they immediately became excited, and they all gathered around Xiao Ke, Ye Wenzhu, the second master of Ye Valve, who is usually very conceited, couldn't help but show great admiration and admiration for Xiao Ke at this time, and almost said in a flattering tone: "Haha, when I first took a fancy to the virtuous nephew, I knew that the virtuous nephew was not a thing in the pool, and today's battle will definitely shake the empire, and countless people know the name of the virtuous nephew." Haha, it's not a loss to be the person Xiao Yun likes, yes, very good. ”
Xiao Ke heard Ye Wenzhu's words, and he could understand the compliment in the first half, after all, he had just beheaded two corpse pillars, causing a lot of shock to Ye Wenzhu and the others. But in the second half of Ye Wenzhu's words, Xiao Ke was a little confused, what is the person Xiaoyun fancies?
Xiaoyun should be talking about the third brother Ye Yun, what does it mean, it's really inexplicable.
Xiao Ke was exhausted at this time, although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't ask the bottom of it in public, and he didn't ask Ye Wenzhu about the specific meaning of what he said.
Qi Heng was naturally a little at a loss about Ye Wenzhu's words, and only treated it as if Ye Wenzhu was complimenting Xiao Ke.
But Ye Wenzhu's words were heard in the ears of Jiang Youwei and Emperor Shitian, and they immediately smelled a trace of unusual smell, Jiang Youwei is the eldest princess of the imperial family, and Emperor Shitian is the chief instructor of the Glory School, who specializes in cultivating talents for the imperial family, and can be regarded as the existence of absolute loyalty to the imperial family.
At the same time, Jiang Youwei and Emperor Shitian both know Ye Yun's true identity very well, Ye Yun's real name is Ye Yun, and she is Ye Valve's daughter.
Even Jiang Youwei and Emperor Shitian knew that the reason why Ye Yun came all the way here was not only due to the deliberate promotion of His Majesty Jiang Ning, but also a very important reason, that is, Ye Yun had different feelings for Xiao Ke, so she disguised herself as a man to join the army and followed Xiao Ke to this wild place.
Jiang Youwei and Emperor Shitian also knew that Xiao Ke was a newcomer who had been vigorously supported by the imperial family recently, and he was a confidant of His Majesty Jiang Ning.
It stands to reason that Xiao Ke is a member of the imperial camp, and he has a humble background, so no matter what, it is impossible for Ye Taisong, the Duke of Anguo, to agree to marry his daughter to someone like Xiao Ke, after all, in this era, the portal hierarchy is very strict. The family gate valve will only intermarry with the family gate valve, and the worst thing is to find a high-grade scholar, if it is a shameful thing to intermarry with the lower-grade clan, let alone marry his daughter to Xiao Ke, who was born as a refugee.
However, today's Ye Wenzhu's words revealed an abnormal message, that is, it seems that the Ye family admires Xiao Ke very much, and it seems that they can accept marrying Miss Ye Ke to Xiao Ke.
This is an extremely dangerous signal for the imperial family.
The imperial family has finally cultivated a top genius, a leader in the world, and the hope is that Xiao Ke will be able to make more contributions to the imperial family in the future, rejuvenate the imperial family, and suppress a group of family members represented by the cabinet to keep up with the class.
If Xiao Ke marries the eldest lady of Ye Valve, then Xiao Keqi has nothing to do with the cabinet?
The talents cultivated by the imperial family were given a salary by the cabinet?
Is this still worth it?
Jiang Youwei and Emperor Shitian glanced at each other, and each other's eyes showed worry, which already involved the battle for talents.
Just when Jiang Youwei and Emperor Shitian were worried and wary that Ye Valve was about to poach Xiao Ke, at this time, Ling Feng, Ye Yun, Qin Bing and others had already opened the city gate and came out to greet Xiao Ke with a large number of soldiers.
Jiang Youwei, who was originally full of melancholy, saw Qin Bing, who was dressed in a thousand-commander robe and heroic among these soldiers, her eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she smiled.
Emperor Shitian noticed the change in Jiang Youwei's face, he looked at the stars surrounding Xiao Ke like a moon, welcoming Xiao Ke's triumphant return to the city, and whispered to Jiang Youwei: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Ye Valve obviously has a crush on Xiao Ke, and wants to marry the eldest lady of the Ye family to Xiao Ke, when the time comes, the pillar of our imperial family will become the son-in-law of someone else's family, this is simply the sky is about to fall, can you still laugh?" ”
Jiang Youwei glanced at Emperor Shakti and said with a light smile: "Chief Instructor of Emperor Shakti, don't be impatient, isn't it that there is no trace of eight characters!" ”
Emperor Shakti was instantly anxious when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Jiang Youwei had already continued: "However, Xiao Ke is now 25 years old, and according to the situation of the imperial man, he has also reached the age of starting a family. ”
Emperor Shakti was about to be baffled by Jiang Youwei, and he said impatiently: "Oh, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, don't go around in circles with me, just say what you want to say!" ”
Jiang Youwei said lightly: "Ye Valve wants to marry his daughter to Xiao Ke and win over Xiao Ke, but it's not that simple. Judging from my observations, Xiao Ke doesn't seem to know that Ye Yun is daughter, and it is estimated that how Ye Ye will have a showdown with Xiao Ke, and whether Xiao Ke can accept it is one thing. ”
Emperor Shakti: "It's not difficult, as long as the leaf valve has a showdown, explains the situation, and then says that he wants to recruit Xiao Ke as his son-in-law, can Xiao Ke refuse?" Ye Yun is a beauty, Ye Valve is a family valve, it is difficult for a man to refuse such a good thing, right? ”
Jiang Youwei said: "You are also right, so we must also take action." ”
Shakti: "What move?" ”
Jiang Youwei: "We have to report this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible, and let Your Majesty strike first and give marriage to Xiao Ke." ”
Shakti: "Will this work?" ”
Jiang Youwei's eyes fell on Qin Bing who was not far away at this time, and said with a smile: "I have thought about it, if Your Majesty gives you a marriage, if you choose someone from among the princesses and county lords of the imperial family to marry Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke may not accept it, after all, ordinary people are more resistant to being arranged for marriage." But if the person who gave the marriage happened to be what Xiao Ke liked, then it would be another story. ”
Emperor Shi Tian followed Jiang Youwei's gaze and saw Qin Bing in the distance, he suddenly understood what Jiang Youwei meant, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, do you mean to let Your Majesty give marriage to Xiao Ke, and the object of marriage is Qin Bing?" Is this this, this, this going to work? Qin Bing's identity is a bit ordinary, and he is not qualified to marry Xiao Ke! ”
The corners of Jiang Youwei's mouth rose slightly: "I have a way!" ”
