Chapter 168: Hurry up and chase my master back!

Ying Tianfu Hope Primary School.

Although Zhu Yunxi has not been here for three days, everything in the primary school is running normally. Not only did there be no stagnation, but it seemed to be more harmonious than when he was there, and it was more like a private school.

The gentlemen who came from the school supervisors are conscientious, and everyone strives to bring every student well.

The students and craftsmen who study the chiming clock work hard, even if they can't make the chiming clock achieve accurate time, they still insist on the front line of scientific research.

A new gunpowder-driven ploughing tool design institute and a portable tubular gunpowder emitter research institute have also made breakthroughs and successfully built the first model.

Looking at the entire Hope Primary School, only three old men had worries written on their faces, full of nostalgia for Zhu Yunxi.

"Alas!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu hasn't been here for three days......"

"You say, could it be that something happened to His Royal Highness King Wu?"

Yang Xinlu immediately interrupted Gao Ming's crow's beak.

"Shut your foul mouth!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu must be a long-lived and hundred-year-old person, the old man's new version of the Zhao sisters' biography, but you still count on him!"

Gao Ming still asked unwillingly.

"Then why hasn't His Royal Highness King Wu come yet, is it just a whim of his great hope primary school?"

Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo fell silent when they heard this, and the two of them also had the same doubts as Gao Ming, but they didn't want to think about it.

Yang Xinlu was worried about his new version of the script, and Qin Hengbo was worried that he would not be able to learn the method of alchemy.

After struggling for a long time, the two spoke at about the same time.

"Why don't we meet Your Majesty in person and ask to be a guest of His Royal Highness King Wu?"

After the two finished speaking, embarrassment flashed on their faces at the same time.

Because the purpose of both of them is not pure, the so-called doorman is just an excuse. One hopes to consult with His Royal Highness King Wu every day to teach him how to write books, and the other hopes to ask for advice on the proportions of various elements of the new alchemy method, as well as the use of catalysts, and so on.

Only Gao Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed.

Through the observation during this time, Gao Ming can basically judge that Zhu Yunxi is a master and has great ambitions.

Otherwise, how could he have recruited so many customers?

It's just one thing that makes him very unhappy, Zhu Yunxi even looks up to this group of students in the Guozijian, why never takes the initiative to recruit himself?

"We've been here for a while, and His Royal Highness King Wu hasn't recruited us, don't you look down on us three bad old men?"

Yang Xinlu listened to Gao Ming's words, and also showed a trace of confusion.

"Can't you?"

"We don't dare to say that we are famous all over the world, but at least we are household names, and His Royal Highness King Wu has no reason to look down on us!"

"Do you think it's possible that His Royal Highness King Wu doesn't know us at all, or has never heard of our name?"

After Qin Hengbo said this, Yang Xinlu and Gao Ming were stunned, they had never thought about such a problem before. However, thinking back on His Royal Highness King Wu's attitude towards them during this time, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible.

"Lao Yang, don't you have a few old ones in the court, can you let people vaguely remind His Royal Highness King Wu?"

Yang Xinlu pondered slightly when he heard this.

"The old man has a disciple named Huang Zicheng, I heard that he is now teaching in the main hall, but the old man doesn't think much of him, he just thinks that this person is a bit too utilitarian, and he is in a hurry to do things, and he will cause trouble if he doesn't do it well in the future."

"And do you know anyone else?"

"Old man, think about it......"

"Qi Tai is okay?"

"I used to teach in the main hall, and I was transferred to the Ministry of Rites to serve as a waiter some time ago, so I should be able to talk to His Royal Highness King Wu, right?"

"That's great!"

"It is rumored that the manuscript of the Golden Plum Vase is written by Qi Tai, which is enough to prove that the relationship between the two is not ordinary!"

"Then the old man is going to find Qi Tai?"

"Go together, go together!"

"Anyway, it's okay for the two of us to be idle, just go and meet our rookie Ying Tianfu!"

The three of them had already decided, and immediately got into the carriage and went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites located in the East Chang'an Gate.

……

Ministry of Rites Yamen.

Zhao Mian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Qin Kui, who was already going crazy, and reluctantly opened his mouth to persuade.

"Qin Shangshu, it's useless for you to stay with me, Yang Xinlu is a contemporary celebrity, a person who holds the bull's ear in the Jiangnan literary world, this thin noodle of the old man doesn't work at all!"

Qin Kui also knew that Zhao Mian was not lying, but His Majesty the Emperor said it was too scary, if he couldn't invite Yang Xinlu out to be an official, then he would really have to move stones!

"Zhao Shangshu, be sure to save this official, even if you don't come forward to help, at least give me an exact address, so that I can find someone!"

Zhao Mian was in a dilemma again when he heard this, he knew Yang Xinlu's address, and he had secretly gone to the Yang family's mansion in Jinling City to pay a visit. But he knew Qin Kui's personality too well, once he was told where the Yang family was, he couldn't rush in with the servants of the Ministry of Industry to kidnap people.

"This ......"

Originally, Zhao Mian wanted to drag it out a little longer, and dragged it until His Majesty forgot about this stubble, and the matter would be over.

However, at this moment, Jin Yiwei sent an edict asking him to invite Yang Xinlu out to be an official within three days, otherwise he would be asked to move bricks with Qin Kui.

As soon as Qin Kui heard this message, his face immediately blossomed with joy.

Now that he is not in a hurry, it is Zhao Lao's turn to be anxious, hahaha.

"Zhao Shangshu, you are busy first, the official will go home first and pack up, prepare a few pairs of well-fitting shoes, and wearable clothes or something, so I won't bother here!"

"Qin Kui!"

"You mourning star, this official will not let you go!"

Qin Kui heard Lao Zhao's scolding on the street, laughed and left the Ministry of Rites and returned to his Ministry of Works.

After Qin Kui left, Zhao Mian immediately called all the attendants from the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites to his duty room, and said straight to the point.

"Just now, His Majesty ordered someone to send an edict, limiting our Ministry of Rites to invite Yang Xinlu out to be an official within three days. If we can't do it, then all the people from our Ministry of Rites will be sent under the city wall to move bricks! ”

"Now that the official has finished passing on the edict, the rest depends on your ability."

"If you can't do it, then get ready to move bricks with this official!"

When several waiters from the Ministry of Rites heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

If other emperors had said such cruel things, few officials might take it seriously. But Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty is different, he really punished officials for repairing the city wall a few years ago because of the late arrival of officials!

Qi Tai has only been a waiter in the Ministry of Rites for a month, and it can be said that his ass has not yet been hot, and when he heard this, the whole person was blinded.

If he was driven to repair the city wall, wouldn't his career in this life be over?

Just when Qi Tai was so worried, the officials below suddenly ran over and said that someone was looking for him outside, and Qi Tai waved his hand absentmindedly.

"Didn't the official say it a long time ago?"

"Anyone who claims to be a relative of the official and the old one will be blown away!"

Since Qi Tai became the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, whether it is at home or in the yamen, there are always many relatives and friends who come to the door, some begging him to do things, some inviting him to eat and drink, and some using the excuse to find out which province he will go to next year to preside over the study and politics.

Qi Tai has very high requirements for himself, but he doesn't want to bury his future because of these trivial things.

"Back to Lord Qi, that person claims to be your master, and he doesn't dare to call the shots without permission, so he specially came in and asked for instructions......"

"Master?"

"Where did this official come from?"

When the officials below heard this, they immediately understood that there was another group of liars outside the door, and immediately turned around and left.

Yang Xinlu stood outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, boasting to two old friends.

"It's not me blowing with you, if Qi Tai's little doll knew that the old man was coming, she would definitely greet her......"

Qin Hengbo and Gao Ming are not people who are used to flattering others, and when they heard Yang Xinlu's boasting, they didn't have the slightest wave in their hearts.

Seeing the attitude of the two of them, Yang Xinlu thought that the two of them didn't believe it, so he hurriedly swore to the sky.

"I don't believe you two are waiting, if the middle door is not opened in a while, I Yang Xinlu and your two surnames!"

As soon as Yang Xinlu's words fell, he saw the middle door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites open. Seeing this, Yang Xinlu couldn't help laughing proudly.

"What did the old man just tell you two, Qi Tai's little doll knows that the old man is coming, and he will definitely receive it with the highest standard, hahaha......"

However, as soon as Yang Xinlu laughed twice, he saw more than a dozen errand officers holding water and fire sticks suddenly running out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

Behind a group of errand officers, there was also a petty official wearing a seven-rank official uniform, who was the person who had just said that he was going to pass the word to himself.

"Someone's coming!"

"Beat these three crooks away!"

When the officers of the Ministry of Rites heard this, they all said "No", and immediately rushed towards the three of them with water and fire sticks.

The three of them were stunned when they saw such a formation, and in the end, Qin Hengbo, who often traveled in the mountains and rivers, reacted quickly, pulling his two old friends and running away.

Fortunately, the messenger of the Ministry of Rites saw that the three of them were very old, and they didn't really want to beat them, but just chased them for half a street with a shout, scared them away and went back.

The three of them hid in a secluded alley, gasping for air.

Qin Hengbo is relatively better, after all, he has been looking for immortals all year round, visiting the mountains and rivers, and has long cultivated a strong physique.

However, Gao Ming and Yang Xinlu can't. One likes to hide at home to read, the other likes to hide at home and write books, in short, they are all old otaku.

"Lao Yang, why are you doing it, do you know Qi Tai or not!"

When Yang Xinlu heard Gao Ming questioning himself, he immediately blushed with anger and had a thick neck.

"Can the old man still brag to the two of you, the old man even hugged Qi Tai when he was a child...... Phew, I was almost confused by the two of you, it was the old man who hugged him when Qi Tai was a child, and his name was given to him by the old man! ”

"It's really unreasonable, the old man came all the way to him, he didn't say that he would treat him politely, but he dared to send someone to drive us away. When the old man saw his father, he had to sue him fiercely! ”

On the other side, after sending away the little official, Qi Tai immediately realized that something was wrong.

He does have a master, but this master is too famous, so big that he doesn't dare to recognize it.

Therefore, when the little official reported, he subconsciously thought that he was a liar.

Because under normal circumstances, even if he went to visit with his father, he might not be able to knock on the door of Shigong's house, how could Shigong take the initiative to come to the yamen to find him?

Qi Tai thought of this and immediately chased out, but only to see that the long street was lonely, and there was still half a figure.

"What does the person who just claimed to be my master look like?"

"Gray hair, about sixty years old, wearing a white hosta on his head......"

Qi Tai's heart sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked anxiously.

"Is your face a little round and your eyes small?"

"Yes, yes!"

"How did Lord Qi know?"

Qi Tai slapped himself in annoyance and shouted at the officials.

"That's really my master!"

"Hurry up and send someone to chase my master back!"

The three old men hid in the alley for a while, gasped for breath, and saw that there was no movement outside, so they came out of the alley holding the wall with one hand and pressing the old waist with the other.

However, as soon as the three of them showed their heads, they heard a commotion outside.

"Lord Qi has ordered, be sure to find that old man, and don't let him go!"

"No!"

When the three old men heard this, they hurriedly shrank back in fright, and hid in the straw beside them and shivered.

"Lao Yang, you tell me the truth, do you have a grudge against Qi Tai?"
