Chapter 8: The Hundred Defeated Generals
"If you want to go back, just go back and have a look. The old man who was lying down said.
"Uh-" Yan San was stunned for a moment, looked at the old man, and said: "Old man, you can't be mistaken, now I am still studying in the academy, so I slipped away, hey, hey, you are a teacher, you are a single person, and there are no students to teach." ”
The old man glanced at Yan San and said, "I happened to be greedy, and no one even bothered me when I took a nap." ”
"Old man, do you have a conscience, I didn't run away secretly, it's not that you don't become a single teacher, and now you actually say cool things, and I'm angry. Yan San glared at the old man and said with itchy teeth.
The old man lay down leisurely, looked at the sky, and said, "Boy, if you want to go back, go back and walk around, it's nothing, you can go if you want to." ”
"Uh, is it really fake?" Yan San looked at the old man unexpectedly, and couldn't help but be happy, and said: "It's better to go back to Huodu County first, announce the matter of Earl Feng in the county, let the people know, and go back to the Earl's Mansion by the way, and then I will go back to the academy to report, how about it?"
The old man said, "No, boy, you don't have to come back. In fact, in the academy, there is nothing for you to learn, I am an old man, I have nothing to teach you, in fact, you only owe skill and heat, the Heavenly Thunder Knife and the Five Styles of Splitting the Mountain, which are enough for you to walk the world, one palm and one knife are enough. It's not interesting to stay in the academy all the time, it's like a flower in a greenhouse, no matter how beautiful it is, it's useless, it's just a flower shelf, it's not practical, go out and sharpen and sharpen, there are a lot of things outside that you can't learn in the academy. ”
"Old man, are you really driving me away?" Yan San was stunned, although he wanted to go back and see, but when the old man was serious, Yan San was a little reluctant, he didn't have many relatives around him, although he usually quarreled with the old man, but, in fact, the relationship between their master and apprentice was very good, but the way the two of them got along with each other was different from others.
"Let's go, let's go, do you think it's easy for me to save some money? You kid brought a group of people and ate all my food, and I still have to rely on that money to support my old age." You left, and by the way, you also took your two chicks, and Allie, don't be here and only eat my food. The old man rolled his eyes and said.
"Hey, who wants to stay with your bad old man. Yan San glared at him and said, "Let's go, go home tomorrow." ”
The old man smiled and said, "That's great, I've saved food, and that's a good thing." ”
"Hey, you think beautifully, Ah Lie, when we leave tomorrow, bring all the old man's food back to Huodu County. Yan San said with a smirk.
"Uh-" When Hu Lie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "Big brother, this, this, this is not good, such as, such as, if you are really short of food, I, I, I still have some money there, give, buy you food first." ”
Seeing that Hu Lie, a simple guy, took the joke seriously, Yan San and the old man couldn't help but burst into laughter, and Hu Lie had no choice but to scratch his head with a dry smile.
In the end, Yan San really decided to go back to Huodu County, no matter what, he wanted to go back and see.
Hu Lie listened to the old man's words, he went home to report to his parents, and he also followed Yan San back to Huodu County, this is what the old man meant, Hu Lie will follow Yan San in the future.
Yan San also told Nie Lengyan about going back, Nie Lengyan responded very calmly, seeing Nie Lengyan's calm demeanor, which made Yan San can't help but think of the things she packed up and said back two days ago, at this time, Yan San knew that Nie Lengyan had already had news, and knew that the matter that she had sealed would be announced in the next two days, no wonder she said that she would pack up her things and go back to Huodu County at that time.
Nie Lengyan has always been in Yanjing, Yan San originally let her choose freely, she wanted to stay in Yanjing, but Nie Lengyan just said coldly, back to Huodu County, Yan San had no choice but to follow her.
In the end, Yan San decided to go to the suburbs, he wanted to tell Lu Xun about leaving Yanjing and returning to Huodu County, how to say, he and Lu Xun are also friends.
Yan San's refusal to serve as the governor of Yongding Prefecture was soon reported to the ears of Emperor Guangwu.
"He refused to serve as the governor of Yongding Prefecture?" said Emperor Guangwu lightly. He let Yan San serve as the pastor of Yongding Prefecture, of course, he had his intentions, he just wanted to be able to counter Yan San in the future.
"Yes, His Majesty's minion has already tried his best to lobby him, but he doesn't appreciate it, he doesn't know how to lift, and the minion is incompetent. The chamberlain said with a guilty face.
"Go down, it's none of your business. Emperor Guangwu said lightly.
After the chamberlain left, the ancient snake in the darkness said slowly, "It seems that this kid is not stupid, he figured it out at once." ”
Emperor Guangwu snorted, and without making a sound, the ancient snake said: "Your Majesty, Huodu County is a small place on the edge of the northern frontier, he loves as much as he likes, just let him play in the place where birds don't lay eggs." Leaving him in Yanjing, maybe it will really make Yanjing stormy, this kid must be a troublemaker. ”
Emperor Guangwu groaned, didn't say anything else, and the ancient snake didn't say anything else, he knew Emperor Guangwu's thoughts, and Emperor Guangwu was afraid of Bai Wuwu.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the Monk have come to cry a few times today, hoping that Your Majesty will administer justice to them. At this time, the ancient snake said.
Emperor Guangwu glanced at it and said coldly, "It's their son's business." ”
"Exactly. The ancient snake said: "They can't take Hanshan Academy, they can't help Hanshan Academy, they just want to use His Majesty's power to avenge their son." ”
Emperor Guangwu snorted and said, "If you die, you die, what are you crying about, are their sons still killing fewer people? ”
"Well, I think Shang Shu and the prime minister will soon understand the truth. The ancient snake said.
The ancient snake understood Emperor Guangwu's thoughts, Emperor Guangwu did not mean to avenge Shangshu and the prime minister at all, and it is even possible to think that it is better for Shangshu and the prime minister's son to die.
What's more, Emperor Guangwu will not clash with Hanshan Academy because of the two little hairy children, which is completely unnecessary, because the son of the prime minister and Shangshu has no such value, and it is not worth his fight.
Yan San rushed to Lu Xun's house, and as soon as Lu Xun saw Yan San coming, he said with a smile: "Boy, you came in time, hey, hey, to tell you a good news, I have translated the "Phoenix Heavenly Fire Classic". ”
"Old man Lu, you didn't go to Nanban and ask someone to translate, a broken book has been translated for so long, your level is too poor. Yan San said with a playful smile.
"Die, hmph, even in the Nanban, I'm afraid I can't find someone who can be proficient in two languages like me. Russon snorted and said disdainfully.
Yan San laughed, and then said, "Old man Lu, I'm here to tell you a piece of news, I'm leaving Yanjing tomorrow." ”
"Where are you going to leave Yanjing?" Lu Xun was stunned and asked.
Yan San said: "Brother wants to go back to Huodu County to have a look, as for the future, let's see it then, the old man of my family has given me a holiday, I think it's no problem to mix outside for as long as I want." Hey, hey, old man Lu, don't miss my brother, I'll go back to Yanjing to see you when I'm free in the future. ”
"Ha, ha, boy, you're wrong, hey, I don't have to think about you at all, because I'm also going to Huodu County with you. Russon laughed.
"What are you doing here in my Huodu County?" Yan San was stunned, glanced at Lu Xun, and said.
Lu Xun smiled and said: "Hey, didn't you say that you are the master of Huodu County, the earl of Huodu County? That's right, I'll follow you to mix a bowl of rice to eat, there is food and accommodation, and it's free, hey, hey, why don't I do it? Besides, I have nothing to do when I'm idle in Yanjing, I have nothing to worry about, and I just follow you to eat and live." ”
"Old man Lu, you think beautifully, hum, I will throw you on the street and let you sleep on the street. Yan San glared and said, he was a scoundrel enough, he didn't expect that this old man was even more scoundrel, and he was still eating and living.
Lu Xun smiled and said, "That's it, I'll pack my things later, and I'll go with you tomorrow." ”
Yan San had no choice but to roll his eyes, so he had to follow him, anyway, he Huodu County could still afford to raise a person who ate and drank for nothing.
"Boy, don't have such an expression, I follow you, maybe it will be a great good thing for you, hey, hey, one day there will be a chance, maybe the two of us will go out on an expedition, we will make a fortune, and you will earn it." Lu Xun saw Yan San roll his eyes and said.
Hearing that he was making money, Yan San became energetic, and said with a smile: "Then you say, what danger are we going to explore?" Hey, do you have any treasure maps, or the two of us will dig up treasures." ”
"Nope. Lu Xun rolled his eyes and said, "However, when the time comes, we can go to the abandoned land of the Southern Barbarian God, the Nao Blue Sea, the Sea of Fungus Leaves, the Unsullied Forest, and so on." Hey, with me showing you the way, maybe you can really make a lot of money. ”
Hearing this, Yan San couldn't help but feel spirited, Yan San had never been to these places.
In the end, Lu Xun packed up his things and decided to go back to Huodu County with Yan San, and Yan San went back to the academy first, and he wanted to say goodbye to Lan Jingyue and Bingxue.
As soon as Yan San returned to the academy, Ye Qiudie glared at him angrily and said, "Where did you run here?"
"Little lady Ye, it won't be that I missed me just now, hey, although I know I'm handsome, but, I didn't expect that I would be so handsome, alas, handsome just can't be helped, wherever I go, I will miss the beauty." Yan San said with a narrow smile.
"Miss your head, go, come with me to meet someone. Ye Qiudie didn't care whether Yan San agreed or not, and pulled Yan San away.
Yan San was dragged away by Ye Qiudie, he had no choice but to follow, and said as he walked: "Little lady Ye, who are you taking me to meet, ha, it won't be to take me to meet your parents, I knew that I was going to dress up, and I would be shy when I saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time." ”
Ye Qiudie glanced at Yan San disdainfully, and said, "Pull down, see my parents, you didn't mention millions of amethyst coins, let alone marry me, I don't have millions of amethyst coins as a dowry, I'm still embarrassed to marry out." ”
"Uh-" Yan San was suddenly blocked by Ye Qiudie's words, and said with a dry smile: "Heh, heh, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, I'm just joking, laugh first." ”
Ye Qiudie glanced at him angrily, she knew that this was the most effective way to deal with the guy who was greedy for money, but this was really angry with her, dead Yan San, is she worth millions of amethyst coins? Hmph, she has many priceless treasures in the astrology gate! This made Ye Qiudie can't help but feel a little itchy.
"He Chu, a defeated general. Ye Qiudie said lightly.
Yan San was stunned and said strangely: "A hundred defeated generals, is he very powerful in defeating, has he defeated a hundred generals?"
"No, it's that he hasn't won a single battle, and he has been demoted from a general to a civilian. Ye Qiudie said.
This made Yan San even more strange, and said, "Since he has never won a battle, why did he become a general? Could it be that Emperor Guangwu would appoint a person who has never won a battle as a general?"
"Because it was the emperor who recommended him to be a general, Emperor Guangwu had no choice but to let him become a general. Ye Qiudie said.
Yan San glanced at Ye Qiudie and said, "Then what are we going to do with him?"
"Your head!" Ye Qiudie glanced at it angrily and said, "Do you have any generals in Huodu County?"
"Nope. Yan San shrugged his shoulders and said.
Ye Qiudie said: "That's it, I'll give you a general, lead troops for you in the future, and train the legion for you." ”
"Hey, hey, little lady Ye, I'm afraid you're mistaken, my Huodu County, don't say it's a general, it's just that there are no soldiers, only a servant, no soldiers, what kind of general do you want?" Yan San said with a narrow smile.
"No soldiers, you won't recruit?" Ye Qiudie glared at Yan San coldly and said.
Yan San was stunned and said, "Little lady Ye, my Huodu County is a very small place, only about 100,000 people. Although I know that you are very good at planning and strategizing, I am afraid that you are following the wrong person because of my small place, there is no place for you to display your talents. ”
Ye Qiudie said leisurely: "There is no land now, it will slowly increase in the future, as long as the Holy Light Kingdom wants to cross, you will have a chance, take precautions, opportunities will always be given to those who are prepared." ”
"Transit, what transit?" Yan San was stunned and said strangely.
"I don't know now, but you'll find out later. Ye Qiudie said plainly.
Yan San glanced at Ye Qiudie and said, "Little lady Ye, I have heard that you astrology people are very powerful, and I heard that the emperor invited you to go out of the mountain. Hey, you know, I know, I know you want to follow me, otherwise, you big beauty wouldn't be stupid enough to lose your bet. That's right, I was selected by the Holy Demon Palace, this secret, although I don't know how you know it, but, I think, I'm afraid that you are mistaken, I am not the person you imagined, I will not do it like the darlings of the Holy Demon Palace of the previous generations, neither will I be like Toremi to divide the territory for the country and be a founding emperor, nor will I be like Bi Xiao, become the god of the Hulunbuir grassland, wave the army south, and almost destroy the Hanba Empire. ”
"So, I'm a person who doesn't have any big ambitions, I just want to use my own hands to earn white silver and yellow gold, which makes me feel very comfortable. If you want to follow me to assist me in competing for hegemony or something, I'm afraid that you are really mistaken, you are following the wrong person. Now that it's too late for you to leave, you can find a majestic master and use your talents. Yan San said slowly.
Yan San is not stupid, there are some things that he doesn't want to think about himself, as long as he thinks about it, there is nothing that his perverted cleverness can't figure out.
Ye Qiudie was not surprised at all when Yan San saw her intentions, she said leisurely: "Yan San, whether you will compete for hegemony or not, that's your business, but this doesn't prevent others from destroying you." In the world, there is no paper that can hold the fire, as long as others know that you are the darling chosen by the Holy Demon Palace, then, I am afraid that countless people will covet you, such as Emperor Guangwu, even if he is not interested in your secrets, but he doesn't want you to become the second Toremy, he will definitely destroy you. ”
"Faced with such a situation, Yan San, you only have two choices, one, either be a turtle with a shrunken head, hide, no friends, no relatives, you can only live in an inconspicuous place, or a deserted place, for the rest of your life; Yan San, if one day, Shangbing Xue really follows you, will you let your woman follow you like a mouse, hiding in the east province?" Ye Qiudie said very leisurely.
Yan San was dumbfounded, looked at Ye Qiudie, rubbed his nose, and said, "Little lady Ye, you really look like a roundworm in my stomach." Hey, that's right, I don't have the heart to dominate, but I won't let people rub me if they want to!" Speaking of this, Yan San's eyes were cold, faintly revealing domineering, like a male lion who chooses people to devour.
Ye Qiudie looked at Yan San leisurely, a lion is a lion after all, no matter how much he wants to be a sheep, but he is still a lion, and he will always embark on the path of a lion.
"Well, that's it. Ye Qiudie said leisurely: "So, you want me, you want me to follow you." ”
Yan San looked at Ye Qiudie, smiled narrowly and said, "Little lady Ye, don't talk so ambiguously, be careful that I have a big heart and get you to bed." ”
"It's up to you?" Ye Qiudie glanced at Yan San with disdain and said.
"Grandma's bear, little lady Ye, let's see!" Yan San was so angry that his teeth itched, and said, "One day, I have to soak you." ”
"It's easy to soak me, you smash millions of amethyst coins. Ye Qiudie said with a chuckle.
Yan San glanced at Ye Qiudie with disdain, and said: "You pull it down, Little Lady Ye, don't be so narcissistic, there are millions of amethyst coins, I might as well sleep with amethyst coins, hum, sleeping with amethyst coins will definitely sleep soundly, comfortably, and happily than holding you." ”
"You go to die, stinky Yan San!" Ye Qiudie was so angry that she kicked Yan San on the spot, and Yan San laughed.
