Chapter 29: The Might of a Saint
"Wait. Mahjong didn't care what Roach was saying, and for a moment he didn't have the ability to figure out what Roach meant. He was in no hurry, he just hurriedly grabbed Rocky by the collar and eagerly lowered his voice and roared. "Stop, you can't just rush into His Holiness's office! Are you crazy? ”
Roach suddenly turned around and escaped from the grip of mahjong. Mahjong was stunned for a moment, and in his impression the clever part of Roach was limited to the brain. Either he was misled by the daily scene, Du Zhengyi can catch the tanuki with one paw, it doesn't mean that ordinary people can.
He was stunned for a moment, and Rocky took the opportunity to slam open the door of the small conference room with his shoulder, and finally broke in in a big way.
"Hey." He said that he easily greeted the king of mages, and glanced at Du Zhengyi.
For a moment, the top of Roach's spine tingled a little from panic.
He was completely clear why he was panicking, Du Zhengyi might be persuaded that Pei Shu could control Du Zhengyi to some extent. Of course, it's not controlled by thoughts, but it may be the righteousness of Xiaoyi, or the feelings that can only be understood between the two of them. Du Zhengyi was raised by him, and it was he who cultivated and educated them to become what they are today, and the trust between them is as thick as four sets of information and governance Tongjian, and the complete works are stacked together.
Du Zhengyi sat on a cushion next to Pei Shu, his two long legs stretched lazily with nowhere to place, he raised his head and glanced at Luo Qi quietly.
There is no criticism of education.
Luo Qi calmed down, straightened his waist unconsciously, and turned to Elder Pei Shu with respect like a polite young man, "Teacher Pei, that's the case, I think you will definitely call me over for questioning, so I hurried over and came over by myself." ”
The lion-like old mage looked at him, he must have had an angry face just now, but he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Oh? You're a hard-working and sensible child. ”
Luo Qi nodded slightly, and held back his indecent words, he couldn't ridicule Venerable Qionglin and Du Zhengyi's father, and he could sometimes overcome the stinky problem of being cheap.
"However, the truth is that you made it necessary for me to come and meet you." Pei Shu said neither softly nor hard.
Roach swallowed, and a human idiom slipped out of his mouth, "I just did what every qualified people's mage should do." ”
Pei Shu glared at him for a moment, and finally laughed, lowered his head with laughter, and propped his hands on his knees. It took a while before he said, "Son, it's been a long time since I've been laughed at like this." ”
Luo Qi didn't laugh, he glanced at Du Zhengyi nervously, and unfortunately, he found that Du Zhengyi didn't smile either. He tore his gaze off Du Zhengyi's body, "I don't regret anything I did. ”
"Little Confucius, who drilled the system, spread the secrets of Qionglin to the outside world, but you don't regret it?" Pei Shu said, "Child, I always thought you were just a soft little child, but you turned out to be a tough guy?" ”
"I'm super soft." Roach licked her lips in general, "And it's very sensitive, and has a nervous breakdown." ”
"Really?" Pei Shu asked.
Luo Qi was so pressed by his gaze that he couldn't raise his head, and the tattoos on Pei Shu's face constantly distracted him. The tattoo pattern is a small piece of face painting, like the face pattern of some primitive tribes, which is very artistic, and if you look closely, it looks like the words of ancient mages. He struggled to concentrate, regained confidence in himself, and picked up on his previous words, "So those monsters give me nightmares." I can't rest assured, to say something that doesn't seem very respectful, most of the Qionglin mages are useless garbage. Signs come again and again, and those who defend our world are not reliable. ”
He felt that Du Zhengyi suddenly raised his head and glanced at him at this time, his gaze was as sharp as a needle.
Roach's throat was a little dry, and no one would believe his, but he said it resolutely, reinforcing his self-produced confidence, and gushing about his responsibilities as the new Master Qionglin.
Pei Shu listened carefully to his speech, or rather, tolerated him and pressed him all the time, and finally summed up his words, and grasped his main point with a burst of blood. "You hope that Qionglin will immediately set up an investigation team to investigate Qianzhou."
"Especially the Empty Mulberry Mountain." Roach said without giving an inch.
"With your unremitting efforts," Pei Shu said with a slight sarcasm, "we have no choice but to immediately send our elite men to Kongsang Mountain in Qianzhou. Before being dug three feet into the ground by various wild mages, he took control of the field, even though it was just an empty mound. ”
"Maybe it's just because the grave diggers lack the necessary skills, but judging by the situation in Xingtai Mountain, if I am sent to assist in the investigation, there may be a big breakthrough." Roach said.
"That's right." Pei Shu looked at him, "It was the time you dug everywhere in Xingtai Mountain, and Du Zhengyi almost died." ”
Like being splashed with a bucket of ice water, Roach regained his ability to speak for a while, his cheeks stiff and sour like he had drunk a large sip of inferior red wine with too much tannin, and he swallowed the bitter wine and admitted, "Yes." ”
"Teacher." Du Zhengyi moved beside him, and Luo Qi also felt a little uneasy when he was two meters away, he knew that Du Zhengyi was going to say something, and he couldn't blame Luo Qi.
"Du Zhengyi," Pei Shu sighed in an aggravated tone when he mentioned his name, and pressed back Du Zhengyi's later words, "As you know, the body is not very good. He doesn't want to be at home and wants to do what he can, and I respect his thoughts. I just wanted to use his experience and wisdom to complete some investigations that were difficult for others to obtain, not to want him to be on the firing line. It's not about wanting to lend him to you as a babysitter to protect your life, or to protect your utilitarian desire to make a name for yourself. ”
The room fell silent, and Roach's face slowly swollen red, as if he had been slapped in the face. On the other hand, even an old mage like Pei Shu, who has seen people all his life, thinks that he is just a vulgar big SB, and he should be proud of himself. But in fact, Pei Shu may still think highly of him, he is even more vulgar than he thought, he doesn't even aspire to make a name for himself, although the result of that is the loss of Du Zhengyi, it may indeed benefit many people. He wanted to be even more useless, like an illiterate old farmer in the countryside, who just wanted an apple tree in his garden to grow well.
"I can't even blame you." Pei Shu said, "You didn't intentionally tie yourself to Du Zhengyi's body. I don't want to talk to you about children today, so I don't want to talk to you about the nonsense you've told others. Except for Du Zhengyi's reason, it is not suitable for you to leave here in the short term, follow the highland mage to practice seriously, and first calm down your boiling thoughts. ”
Pei Shu was more difficult to deal with than everyone else, and Luo Qi snorted for a moment, but did not speak. Even though he tried to convince himself that it didn't matter, he was hit by a critical attack and couldn't think of what he was going to say at the moment.
"Let's go back." Pei Shu said calmly, and cut off his last glimmer of hope, "Du Zheng stayed for a while, my words are not finished yet." ”11
