Chapter 50: The Old Man and the Old Man
Shen Xian and Xiao Wanyun left the Tianqi Hall and returned to the courtyard, and after a while, Wenchen came, handed over the list of items given by the emperor to Shen Xian to see, and handed over the waist card indicating his title. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info this Wenchen is the Song Xingzhi who received them before, and then listen to his words, it turns out that the emperor of the Great Qi State rewarded Shen Xian's accompanying civil official, and he is it!
Shen Xian has a very good impression of Song Xingzhi, this person is elegant and knowledgeable, although he has never seen him act, but he always gives people the feeling that he is all-encompassing, and he is a rare talent! The emperor of the Great Qi State actually rewarded such a person to Shen Xian as an accompanying civil official, Shen Xian was so happy that he couldn't help but be grateful to the Emperor of the Great Qi State again, and at the same time he respected Xiao Wanyun even more!
Xiao Wanyun saw Shen Xian's joy, he looked at Song Xingzhi, and smiled at Shen Xian: "Brother, what do you think of my generous gift?"
"Brother Xiao's kindness, I can't repay it!" Shen Xian said excitedly, and he almost didn't kneel down to salute Xiao Wanyun!
Xiao Wanyun said with a smile: "This is not at all as good as your gift of a sword! Now that you are a lord, I can say some things! Although the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom has the heart to reward you with a title, you must not care too much, you should still work hard, and you must not be pampered! Of course, the emperor has given you a general, you can use your heart to train you, at least you must be loyal to you! As for Mr. Song, I hope that Brother Shen can treat him well and treat him as a guest!"
Shen Xian nodded and promised. In fact, he was still immersed in joy, and Xiao Wanyun only heard a few words in his ears. He thought to himself: "Now that I have become a lord and have status, I can finally be worthy of Bingxuan, right?"
Xiao Wanyun saw his absent-minded appearance, but he didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, and walked around the small courtyard of the other courtyard by himself, and only Shen Xian and Song Xingzhi were left in the room.
Song Xingzhi always stood by Shen Xian's side and did not speak. When Shen Xian was overjoyed and asked Song Xingzhi where his own courtyard was, Song Xingzhi said slowly: "The lord's mansion is outside the imperial city, on the East Street of Bitou City, very close to the market!"
Shen Xian said happily: "It's close to the market, that is, it's close to the refining room!, I really didn't expect Your Majesty to even know that I like refining weapons, and deliberately arrange a residence nearby, this kindness is really not thin!"
Song Xingzhi smiled slightly, then bowed down, and whispered in Shen Xian's ear: "Sir, please forgive the minister for being rude, there are some things that need to be told to the sir!"
"Sir, please speak!" Shen Xian asked.
Song Xingzhi said: "Sir, what is your background? What is the realm of martial arts? Do you have a resounding name in the rivers and lakes? Or are you related to a person with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes?"
Shen Xian said: "I was born in a martial arts hall, and my father does not have an official position, so it can be said that the people were born! Now I have a great opportunity and have practiced to the realm of a third-class martial artist! As for the names of the rivers and lakes you mentioned, or the fact that I am related to famous heroes, there is nothing!"
"In this way, do you know why the emperor treats you preferentially?" Song Xingzhi asked this, Shen Xian seemed to understand something, he thought about it, shook his head and said, "Please also ask sir!"
Song Xingzhi said: "This is all because of Xiao Wanyun, the king of Zhenyu! The lord said something before, you are commensurate with Xiao Wanyun's brothers, and Xiao Wanyun is the biggest and most famous hero in the world, you said that you have no relatives with those characters with heads and faces?" The emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom has always wanted to pull Xiao Wanyun to work for him, but he knows that he is dedicated to the Lingyao Kingdom, so he has no chance, and when he learns that you are a brother, as long as he exerts a favor on you, it will be like giving grace to Xiao Wanyun, so Xiao Wanyun owes him a favor, with the character of Zhenyu Wang Haoxia, he will have to pay it back in the future, so the emperor has the opportunity to use him! In the past, I always heard how King Zhenyu was righteous, which was convincing, and I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that this person is really as legendary as he is, and can be regarded as the number one hero in the world! Although I am a vassal of the Great Qi State, I have been cold-eyed since I entered the court, and I have empty ambitions but nowhere to display them! Alas, if I can meet this person earlier and get a soulmate, it will be regarded as a blessing in my Song Xing's life!"
Shen Xian was stunned when he heard this, but he figured it out, he has no fame or status, and his martial arts realm is still low, so the emperor of the Great Qi State can't look down on him at all, and he is named a lord, a family member, a court, and such a generous gift, all because of Xiao Wanyun! As for himself, a cheap lord, he doesn't need to go to the court to listen to politics, he can't interfere in national affairs, except for a bit of status, he has no real power at all, and he is really an "idle" nobleman, who has no name in vain! But with this title, it is actually under the control of the Great Qi State, and it is too much to be monitored by it and at its mercy!
Shen Xian lost his joy for a while, and thought of the difficulties in the future, Xiao Wanyun was controlled by others, but became anxious.
Song Xingzhi lowered his head and saw Shen Xian's appearance, and said with a faint smile: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, since King Zhenyu let you take over the title, he naturally has his own plans! Just now he asked you to train the general, just let you have your own career! Although the title sounds noble, in fact, you don't have an official position, you don't have real power, and you don't belong to the emperor's relatives, and you don't enjoy the benefits of the royal family, so it can be said that you only have a name, and it is an empty title!" However, this also has advantages, no matter how noble they are, and they are free to move, as long as they do not touch the interests of the royal family, those powerful people will not go against the lord! If the lord can manage well, compared with ordinary people, he has enough advantages to create his own industry, and even if he has no real power, he can also make some silver and two relations. Not to mention that the lord is so comfortable, and he has a wide range of contacts, but it is much easier than those nobles who really have real power!"
Shen Xian listened to these words, like a cottage suddenly opened, everything has two sides, according to Song Xingzhi said, this cheap lord is still quite useful, and if he runs it well, he can become his own family business! He suddenly felt that Song Xingzhi was really talented, and he admired it in his heart, got up and bowed repeatedly, and said: "Mr. Song is really talented! If it weren't for Mr. Song mentioning it twice, I'm afraid Shen Xian would get carried away or blame himself for being lost! Shen Xian not only wanted to thank Mr., but also hoped that Mr. could give Shen Xian advice and create a career together!"
"The lord is too polite, you can be appreciated by King Zhenyu, you are already extraordinary, since the minister is your entourage civil official, he will naturally follow the work of dogs and horses!" Song Xingzhi said, saluting Shen Xian respectfully. Shen Xian hurriedly helped him up, said a few polite words, and asked, "According to Mr., what should we do first?"
"Now that the emperor has given you an official position, he has not rewarded you with gold, silver and jewelry, and you have twelve generals, and you have to eat and drink every day, so the top priority is to raise silver taels! I think the lord should not have any extra money, it is best to sell the other courtyard at the moment, and replace it with daily consumption, temporarily feed your generals, and let them work for you! I just wonder if the lord is willing?"
Shen Xian nodded and said: "A courtyard is nothing, anyway, I, Shen Xian, am also used to running around, and now there are still a lot of things to do, I'm afraid I can't stop for a while!
"Follow the lord's orders!" Song Xingzhi bowed.
The two talked a little more, and Song Xingzhi made some arrangements for Shen Xian, so he went out to find a buyer and sell the courtyard. It is said that the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom did not really appreciate Shen Xian, so even if Shen Xian sold the other courtyard, he would not care too much. Originally, Shen Xian was also an idle person, and his actions, if it weren't for those who were idle and always liked to pick bones in eggs, I'm afraid few people really cared!
As soon as Shen Xian sent Song Xingzhi away, Xiao Wanyun walked in with a smile and told Shen Xian that the envoy sent by Lingyao State to give a birthday gift to the emperor of the Great Qi State was here, and he wanted to go out of the imperial city to greet him, so he thought about letting Shen Xian go with him!
Shen Xian is also a lord now, so naturally he can't lose his dignity, and he is very curious about the identity of the envoy, so that Xiao Wanyun can be so respectful and go out of the city to greet him, I am afraid that he must be one of the best in the Lingyao Country, or even one of the best in the entire Shenwu Continent!
Shen Xian tidied up his clothes, followed Xiao Wanyun and others all the way out of the palace, and waited outside the south gate of Bitou City.
Not long after, a group of people and horses came this way, and at a glance, there were about thirty people, except for a middle-aged man riding a white horse, all of them were burly and strong men. Especially the person who walked at the front of the team, staring at a pair of tiger eyes, exuding majesty all over his body, making people dare not get close at all!
The middle-aged man on the white horse saw Xiao Wanyun guarding the city gate from a long distance, so he immediately called the team to stop, got off the horse with the help of the burly man, and then ran towards Xiao Wanyun at a gallop.
"King Zhenyu is here to greet him, such a big gift, Ouyang is really ecstatic!" The middle-aged man bowed to Xiao Wanyun.
Xiao Wanyun helped him up and said with a smile: "Mr. Ouyang is really polite, you are the first advisor of my Lingyao Country, and you are an elder below, so naturally you should accept this gift!
"What King Zhenyu said is true!" Mr. Ouyang replied with a smile, his eyes suddenly fell on Shen Xian, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who is this little brother?"
"In Xia Shen Xian, it's Brother Xiao's brother, I've seen Mr. Ouyang!" As soon as Shen Xian finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared in the team, ran to him, hugged his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's Xian'er, it's Xian'er, I'm Shi Yun'an, your Uncle Yun'an!"
Shen Xian took a look, and the person in front of him was dressed as a scholar, wasn't it the "Uncle Yun'an" who was different from him in the Qingtian Martial Arts Pavilion? He was pleasantly surprised, and asked again and again, "Uncle Yun'an, why are you here?" Are you here with Mr. Ouyang?"
"Alas, this matter is a long story! We still went to the city first, arranged those birthday gifts, and then talked slowly, okay?" Shi Yun'an was also happy in his heart, but there were more important things at the moment, so he said.
Shen Xian nodded, and took the initiative to beckon everyone into the south gate. At this moment, a shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, as if a green robe floated past him. He jerked his head to look, but saw the familiar back.
In dreams, in memories, in my heart, it is that figure, passing by him every time!
Dream Ice Spin!
Shen Xian resounded with this name in his mind, and the graceful back in his eyes was that only she could be so wonderful, so tugging at his heartstrings, so stirring his calm thoughts! But he thought about it, but he felt that it was unlikely, if it was Meng Bingxuan, what would she do in this Great Qi Country Bitou City? He felt plausible, so he was stunned!
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?" Xiao Wanyun saw Shen Xian looking there in a daze, so he patted him on the shoulder and brought him back to his senses. Shen Xian looked at that side again, but there was no longer the back of the green clothes. He rubbed his eyes and smiled at Xiao Wanyun: "Maybe I was dazzled, I thought I had seen an old man!"
Xiao Wanyun patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Let's hurry back to the other courtyard to settle those birthday gifts!"
Shen Xian nodded, and Xiao Wanyun led everyone into the palace and returned to the courtyard......
