Text Chapter 138 The Master in White
The pattern within the imperial city is clear and organized, the imperial palace must be located in the middle, close to the north and south of the imperial city is the residence of the military generals and princes, according to the level of the official rank from the inside to the outside, so the street around the imperial city is called Tian'en Street.
The prime minister is above 10,000 people, and the mansion must be the closest to the imperial city, and the scale of the building is huge, and it is the most eye-catching when you walk into Tian'en Street. Not counting the many pavilion houses, the courtyard alone has seven entrances and seven exits, and there are countless large and small gardens.
In the afternoon, the sun is warm, the breeze is slightly bright, and there is a feeling of autumn high air, and the prime minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion is sitting in the garden pavilion, leaning lightly on the rocking chair and closing his eyes to recuperate. He is already over sixty years old, his hair is black and white, and his loose clothes look a little fat. The broad eyebrows and broad forehead look very kind, but there is a kind of prestige in a high position.
"Master, Song Xinyuan, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, wants to see you!" Ding Shan, the chief manager, bowed his body and whispered to the prime minister's side.
"Song Xinyuan, why did he come to see me? Didn't he give him the fat difference of the palace's daily consumption, why are you still not satisfied?" Yan Zhi slowly opened his eyes, a little impatient.
"Master, don't you know, a few days ago, Song Xinyuan's caravan encountered murderous robbers on the way to the Imperial City in Jiuyao City, and dozens of coachmen and mercenaries died!"
"Hmm, there is such a thing, the city defense army will find out who is so bold to kill people and cross the goods!" As soon as he heard that dozens of people had died, Yan Zhi's eyes widened slightly, this is not a trivial matter.
"No results were found, according to Song Xinyuan's detailed account to Xiao Zhi later, the robber at that time was not for the purpose of robbing money and goods at all, he did not mention a penny of silver, and the goods were scattered all over the ground! There were only a few people, but they were all cultivators, and they killed dozens of people in a while, and if they hadn't met a master later, their lives would not have been saved. ”
"Blessing and woe! Woe and blessing!" Yan Zhi immediately knew that this was intended to take Song Xinyuan's life, and he must be a companion. "I thought he was also filial piety, and there were a lot of filial piety things every New Year's Day, so I fought for him to get a fat difference, but I didn't expect to summon the disaster of killing!"
"Yes, sir! This time he has suffered a great disaster, but he has also met a young master. This time, I came to visit with this master, just to recommend this talent to the prime minister!"
As soon as the young master was mentioned, Yan Zhi suddenly came to his senses, "It's okay to be idle, let Song Xinyuan come here to see me!"
"Yes, sir!" Ding Shan bent down.
After a while, Ding Shan led the two of them from the boulevard of the garden. One person is obese and knows that it is Song Yuanxin from a distance, while the other person is dressed in white, and he walks with his head held high.
"Master, they've arrived!"
"Prime Minister Yan!" Song Xinyuan's fat body had already done his best to bend down and salute.
"The reckless man Xiao Yun has seen the Prime Minister!" the man in white clasped his hands into fists and said. There is no humbleness in the words, but there is no trace of disrespect!'
Yan Zhi looked up carefully, this Xiao Yun had a handsome and heroic face, he should be no more than twenty-five years old, his appearance was dignified, and he liked it very much. Immediately stood up and said with a smile, "This is the old man's private house, no need to be formal, follow me to the pavilion and sit down, come and serve tea!"
Song Xinyuan was flattered, you must know that Yan Cheng is in a high position and power, and he usually doesn't see him at all, and even if he sees it, he just has a few words on his side, so why today he usually invites the pavilion to sit with tea.
"I heard that Vice President Song encountered robbers a few days ago, and he didn't care about gold and silver but human life, but there is such a thing!"
As soon as he sat down, the prime minister took the initiative to ask, which made Song Xinyuan's heart hot, and he quickly replied, "The prime minister has a lot of opportunities, but I didn't expect to be worried about the villain." This is true, but Hong Fu, who is entrusted to the adult, was lucky to save his life, and he also met a young master, knowing that the adult is thirsty for talent, so he specially brought an introduction!"
"It seems that he is really a talent, otherwise President Song would not have specially introduced the old man!"
"Xiao Yun is a reckless person, he has been working hard for the goal in his heart, and he can't talk about talents!" Xiao Yun said with humility but incomparable confidence.
Prime Minister Yan nodded, "Okay! Young people always have to work hard for their ideals and goals. I don't know what your goal is!"
"The younger generation has been cultivating since childhood, and the dream in my heart has always been to be able to open a sect in the Sun Death Continent and become a generation of grandmasters. I came to the Imperial City today to verify my cultivation results, challenge the large and small martial arts halls, magic institutes and kendo clubs in the Imperial City, and take my cultivation to the next level in the competition!"
Yan Zhi took a sip of tea, with a faint smile on his face, "It is necessary for young people to have ideals, but they must not be too arrogant." ”
Song Xinyuan couldn't see what the prime minister meant, and immediately said, "Although this Xiao Yun is young, his cultivation is unbelievable. A few days ago, I was in a catastrophe, and he single-handedly eliminated five thugs in the blink of an eye. The villain walks outside all the year round, although he doesn't know how to cultivate, he has seen a lot of fighting scenes, Xiao Yun can challenge the masters of the imperial city is not a lie!"
"No matter how many hermit masters there are in the imperial city, there are countless of them just on the surface, especially the Li Siguang, Tianci, and Li Si of the Nameless Academy. They are well-known masters in the world, and there are countless people who have been defeated in their hands in just one year, so they must definitely not be imaginary!" The chief steward Ding Shan also seemed to have doubts about this, and the words of the question were exactly what Prime Minister Yan was thinking.
"Xiao Yun is not talented, but challenging the Flame Sword is from Siguang, the sword path is the goal that the younger generation is willing to stay in the imperial city!" Xiao Yun's face was calm and seemed to have incomparable confidence, "As the prime minister said, there is no shortage of hermit masters in the imperial city, and there are no longer a few hermit masters on the mainland, Master Xiao Yun is one of them, according to the teacher, a few years ago, when the Sword Immortal Dharma King was in full swing, the two of them couldn't beat the master together!"
"That's the case!" Yan Zhi finally had a hint of shock, the Sword Pavilion and the Fog Spirit Mountain were the two leaders in the cultivation world back then, and they were really people outside the world, and there were people outside the world who couldn't be defeated by the Sword Immortal and the Dharma King.
"Brother Xiao Yun, would you like to demonstrate one or two for the Prime Minister!" Song Xinyuan said smoothly.
"Xiao Yun is willing!"
"Good! good!" Yan Zhi glanced at Song Xinyuan approvingly, "Although the old man has been in the court all the year round, he is also very interested in mastering. It just so happens that there is also a master in the house, so you might as well have a discussion!"
"Xiao Yun complys!"
"Ding Shan, go and call Cai Jin, the commander of the house soldiers!"
Ding Shan walked away quickly, and after a while, he came with a strong man in full body armor, carrying a double-sided axe in his hand, about forty years old, burly and strong, walking calmly, he could be the commander of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person!
"Cai Jin has seen the prime minister!" Cai Jin came to the pavilion to greet him.
"This is Cai Jin, the prime minister's general, who bravely defeated countless opponents at the cultivation conference back then, and deserved to be the leader. Ding Shan introduced to Song Xinyuan and Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun just glanced at it lightly, and didn't seem to pay attention to it at all, "Kong Wu is powerful, but it is difficult to catch the next three moves!" seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was not loud but clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Cai Jin, how do you compare yourself to the Flame Knife and Siguang?" asked Prime Minister Yanzhi.
Cai Jin's face was angry, but when he saw the prime minister's question, he had to answer, "Cai Jin knows that he is invincible, but if he wants to win, he will have to move away!"
"This young man said that he can beat you in three moves, have you ever heard it!"
"Cai Jin is willing to have a discussion with this person! to prove the truth!" Cai Jin's eyes glared at Xiao Yun like copper bells, his face full of anger.
"Okay, let's have a discussion, and we'll get to it!"
Xiao Yun hugged his fist towards the prime minister and walked towards the open space outside the pavilion, walking in the courtyard as if enjoying the scenery, and casually broke off a hanging wicker and swayed it lightly in his hand.
"In Xia Cai Jin, practice martial arts, and the weapon is a double-edged axe! Please show your weapon too!" Cai Jin said politely with a fist.
Xiao Yun also returned the salute, but he was still holding the green wicker in his hand, and he didn't even look at Cai Jin, only replied lightly, "Xiao Yun!"
"Then please give me advice!" Cai Jin couldn't bear it anymore, he was so young but he had no one in his eyes, he was really a guy who didn't know the depths. Suddenly, the double-edged axe was raised, and a few fallen leaves were scraped on the ground.
"Please!"
Xiao Yun's face was straight, his fingers moved slightly, and he only heard two sounds of breaking the air, Cai Jin suddenly felt abnormal, but he couldn't see what he was shooting, he only felt that his body was light, and the armor on his upper body somehow broke off and fell to the ground. Shocked, he looked down and saw that the two-finger-thick chain on the shoulder of the armor was cut off in the middle.
"The third move!"
Cai Jin raised his head suddenly, and finally saw a little green mang rushing towards his chest. The double-edged axe hurriedly protected his chest, and the green light arrived in an instant, and he heard a crisp click, and a hole was knocked out of the thickest position in the middle of the two axe blades. Cai Jinhu's mouth was shocked and numb, his hand loosened and the big axe fell to the ground, and his body staggered back a few steps uncontrollably.
"Agreed!" Xiao Yun's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he shook the willow branch that was already missing a piece in his hand, walked back to the pavilion, hugged his fist at the prime minister, and slowly sat down.
"Good! Sure enough, he is an apprentice who is not a master of the world. Prime Minister Yan was suddenly overjoyed, and to put it lightly, Cai Jin had no power to fight back, if he was really a genius in the world, there was no doubt that his strength was higher than that of Siguang.
"The prime minister is too modest! Cai Jin's martial arts cultivation has already made a difference, but the cultivation process is always conformist, and it is difficult to achieve great success if he is confined to martial arts, swordsmanship, and magic!"
"It's really extraordinary, if you can have this skill, it will definitely be no problem to make a name for yourself and start a sect!"
Song Xinyuan saw Prime Minister Dayue, and hurriedly said, "That Li Siguang has been cultivating outside all year round, and the martial arts are already good, but if it weren't for the battle of the Sword Pavilion, he killed the Great Elder of the Sword Pavilion who was already frightened and had no intention of fighting, and with the support of his father Lihuo, otherwise where would he have his current status! The reason for introducing Xiao Yun's talent to the prime minister is because only the prime minister can make him shine, otherwise his cultivation will only be reckless!"
"Okay! I am the prime minister of the court, and I have a lot of money, and I should be used by the emperor to recruit talents!"
