Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Glasses Man
This is something Zhang Feng didn't expect at all, he didn't know how powerful the Nanling Sword Queen was, so he didn't know how extraordinary this son's family background was, but since this son could rank second on the talent list, he must be an extraordinary person.
The opportunity to meet such a person when you first come to the outside world is really amazing!
At that moment, he bowed deeply to Gongzi, "It turned out to be Gongzi Yan, who has admired his name for a long time." ”
In addition to him, many other people also came to pay their respects. For a while, Childe was a little flustered, and he kept bowing in return.
Zhang Feng sneered when he saw that scene. These guys are all inflammatory, and it's ridiculous. He stood there for a moment, then turned around and took a closer look at the talent list, the second place was indeed Yan Xiu, according to the list, Yan Xiu was eighteen years old at the time, his hometown was the Nanling of the Jin Kingdom, and he did not taste a defeat in a thousand duels.
He whispered: "Thousands of duels, not a single defeat." "Gradually began to wonder, since he has not tasted defeat, how can he be ranked behind Wu Ze?
While he was thinking, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked up to him and asked timidly, "Hey, child, are you from the water country?"
Zhang Feng was stunned and said, "Why does my sister ask this?"
The little girl turned her head to look at a woman in her forties who was sitting in the magic mirror not far away, and the woman nodded at her slightly, with encouragement in her eyes and a hint of teasing. The little girl's cheeks flushed, she took a deep breath, and said to Zhang Feng: "Your face is covered with white fat powder, only a boy in the water country will do this." ”
Zhang Feng is angry and funny, this girl has big eyes and round eyes, and she looks quite clever, but she doesn't know what to say about it. He gave the little girl a cold look, and didn't pay attention.
The little girl ran back to the woman's side as if she had fled, the woman sighed, then got up and took the little girl's hand and walked to Zhang Feng, without saying a word, she stretched out a finger and scraped it on his face, then moved her finger to her eyes and twisted it, and muttered: "It turned out that it was not powdered, but it was born." ”
Zhang Feng felt inexplicable, "Auntie, what is she doing?
The woman laughed and said, "You little doll, you know what frivolity is? I just look at your unusually pale face, and want to find out if there is any powder." ”
Zhang Feng said angrily: "I'm a dignified man, how can I put powder on my face?"
The woman said lightly, "Who says that a man can't put powder on his face? ”
After that, she moved to the magic mirror and scratched a few times on the mirror, and the magic mirror was like a big book that had been turned a few pages, and another list appeared on the mirror, which was actually the list of beautiful men in the world.
Unlike the Talent List, which is white on a gray background, this list is colored, with a total of ten people, each with a color portrait, and the style of painting is extremely realistic and lifelike, like a shrunken real person. The top five on the list are all pale on their faces, like dead corpses, looking at their origins, they are all from the water country.
The woman looked at the portrait on the magic mirror with a demented expression, "Child, look at the five most beautiful men in the world, which one is not coated with thick powder on his face? If it is not for the proper balance in the evaluation of the list, five places have been specially set aside for you mainlanders, otherwise all the people on this list will be beautiful men with white faces and snow." ”
Most of the people present were surprised and weird when they saw this list for the first time. Everyone pointed and talked about it. However, perhaps because of the prestige of the magic mirror, they all lowered their voices, and no one dared to question them loudly.
Zhang Feng didn't have any taboos, he only looked at it for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sneer: "What kind of bullshit beautiful men list, the top five are all ugly, only the back five are more pleasing to the eye." ”
When he saw the characters on the list, he was surprised: "Hey, why is the ninth young master of the merchant also on the list?"
He saw it right, the Ninth Young Master was indeed on the list of beautiful men, ranking eighth. However, the Ninth Young Master he had seen before had short hair and wore a gown, but the Ninth Young Master on the list had long hair and wore a long robe. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see that it's the same person, and then look at the introduction of the characters, its name is Shangbo, and its hometown is the palace city of Muguo, and it is a person from the imperial capital of Muguo.
When he was surprised, someone beside him asked him: "Little brother, what, do you recognize the ninth young master of the merchant?" but Yan Xiu didn't know when he squeezed next to him again.
He turned his head to look at Yan Xiu, and said with a smile: "It's a bit of friendship, I saved his sister, and he also gave me a treasure worth tens of millions." ”
Where did everyone believe it, shouting: "Boy, you are not shallow! I don't know what kind of treasure the ninth young master gave you, why don't you take it out and let everyone see?"
Zhang Feng said with a smile: "How dare I carry a treasure worth tens of millions with me, naturally I have hidden it a long time ago." "Actually, the black wooden card handed over to him by Uncle Bald Head, he has always carried it in his arms, but in order to show off the limelight, he took it out and showed it to everyone, it would be bad if he was remembered by thieves, he would not do this kind of stupid thing.
Everyone thought he was talking nonsense and laughed.
Yan Xiu put his arm around his shoulders and asked seriously, "Little brother, when did you see the Ninth Young Master?"
Zhang Feng was slightly stunned, and said, "Is Young Master Yan a friend of the Ninth Young Master?"
Yan Xiu nodded and said, "You said that you saved her sister, what's the matter? Are you from Cliff City? The last time I saw the Ninth Young Master, he was hurrying to Cliff City, saying that he had received a secret message that someone wanted to harm his sister, and now they are all out of danger safely?"
He spoke like a bead, and asked so many questions at once, which made Zhang Feng not know where to start, and besides, the bald uncle had instructed him not to confide in his origin easily, so he naturally couldn't tell the truth.
After thinking about it, he replied, "I am the Ninth Young Master I saw in Yishan City a few days ago, and he and his two younger sisters are all right now. ”
Yan Xiu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "In this way, they should all be fine." ”
At this time, the woman who controlled the magic mirror turned to Zhang Feng again, and said with a smile: "Child, you are born with this face, which is better than a beautiful man who smears powder, it is really rare, why don't you go to the water country with me, and ensure that you will be beautiful there for the rest of your life." ”
Many of the people present recognized the woman, and knew that she was the goggle protector, and that she belonged to the same envoy sent to the mainland by the water country as the guardian of the teleportation array. At this time, when she said that she wanted to take that white-faced boy to the water country, they were all taken aback.
In recent years, it is not uncommon for the envoys of the water country to recruit talents to return to China, but those who are selected are all people who have entered the talent list, why did this kid get this opportunity?
Because the teleportation array and the magic mirror are too mysterious, the water country is naturally also covered with mystery, and some people even believe that the water country is the country of the outer gods, and those who look ordinary and unremarkable water envoys are actually the incarnations of the outer gods, with supreme abilities.
In fact, according to some sporadic accounts, the Mizukuni emissaries do harbor strange supernatural powers that cannot be explained. For example, even a weak girl can keep her sword out of her body, as if she is protected by an invisible shield wall.
This situation is very reminiscent of the void wall laid by the outer gods, the two are also invisible and intangible, but they have actual protective effects, but the former blocks the spirit body of the spirit beast, and the latter isolates any tangible attack.
Because of this, for many people, entering the water kingdom is tantamount to entering the kingdom of heaven, and it is a great opportunity that cannot be found.
