Chapter 460: The Northwest Frontier will raise sword soldiers
Xiang Xuan returned to the house with Xiang Ming, and the ninth uncle was already waiting here.
Because Xiang Ming didn't inform the people in the house when he took Xiang Xuan away, Uncle Nine came here and didn't know where Xiang Ming took Xiang Xuan.
Although Uncle Jiu believed in Xiang Ming's personality very much, he still couldn't help but be a little worried about this precious granddaughter who had been spoiled since childhood, and was pacing back and forth in the hall of Xiang Ming's courtyard at the moment.
The maid Qingluan had already changed the tea for the Ninth Uncle two or three times, and only then did Xiang Ming take Xiang Xuan Shanshan back to the house.
Seeing his grandfather, Xiang Xuan jumped into the arms of the ninth uncle and rubbed his head against the ninth uncle's chest.
"Baby Xuan'er, where have you been, grandpa is in a hurry. Uncle Nine stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiang Xuan's head, and said with a slight doting tone in his tone.
"I went out with my uncle, not by myself. Xiang Xuan explained very seriously.
"Uncle Jiu, I took Xiao Xiang Xuan out. Xiang Ming then also walked into the courtyard and bowed his hand slightly to Uncle Jiu.
When Uncle Nine saw Xiang Ming coming, he smiled and said, "Ah Ming, are you going to the National Teacher's Mansion again today?"
Xiang Ming nodded, pointed at Xiang Xuan and said, "I just took Xiao Xiang Xuan to go again, and the master personally met Xiang Xuan." ”
"What!" Uncle Jiu's body shook three times when he heard this, and the dignified Chu National Master actually met his little granddaughter. Not to mention others, even Xiang Ming, who has the status of a registered disciple, after obtaining the status of the prince of the Xiang family, can only occasionally be received by the national teacher Luo Wushuang. was received by Luo Wushuang, which was no less than being directly summoned by the King of Chu in the Chu State. Who doesn't know the supreme authority of this national teacher in the Chu State.
Uncle Nine hurriedly pulled Xiang Xuan over and asked eagerly, "What did the National Teacher say to you?"
On the way home, Xiang Ming also asked Luo Xuan about this question, but Xiang Xuan never told him.
Uncle Jiu asked this question again, and Xiang Ming also pricked up his ears on the side, he was really curious about what the national master would tell her when he met Xiang Xuan by name.
Xiang Xuan raised his eyes to look at Uncle Jiu, then turned his head to look at Xiang Ming, and crossed his hands back and forth in front of him: "The National Teacher said...... Well, he said he would take me as an apprentice. It's not just the name-only kind, it's a personal disciple. ”
With a click, Uncle Nine was so shocked that he took a step back, his hand was so strong that he propped it on the table, and pressed the tea cup that Qingluan had placed on the table to pieces, the tea splashed his sleeve, and his palm was also cut by the porcelain piece, but the ninth uncle didn't notice it at all.
Of course, Xiang Ming was also surprised, this Great Chu National Teacher, it seems that so far, he has only accepted one personal disciple, and that person is his family's brother, Xiang Yun.
I didn't expect Xiao Xiang Xuan to be able to get the eyes of the national teacher, but then he thought of another question, when he returned to Xiang's house, when he saw Xiang Xuan at the beginning, he accepted Xiang Xuan as a Taoist disciple for Meng Juntong, so now the national master wants to accept Xiang Xuan again, wouldn't it be a hedge with Meng Juntong's side, if Xiang Xuan wants to worship under the door of the national master, then what should Meng Juntong do.
Accepted Xiang Xuan, a disciple of the Taoist system, for Meng Juntong because it was mentioned in the bag that this could help Meng Juntong prevent a life-and-death catastrophe in the future. classic
Accepting a talented disciple may be the icing on the cake for the national master, but for Meng Juntong, it is a matter of life and death.
"Xiao Xuan, did you agree?" Xiang Ming asked tremblingly, this question is all false to him, although Xiang Xuan is young, but it is impossible for her not to know what it means to become a personal disciple of the National Teacher, even if she wants to be King Xiang in the future, I am afraid that the National Teacher will do his best to help her get what she wants. As a child of the Xiang family, I am afraid that no one will refuse such a temptation, and Xiang Xuan will naturally not be an exception.
Uncle Jiu's eyes were also shining, waiting for Xiang Xuan to say the answer he wanted. If Xiang Xuan can really be Luo Wushuang's personal apprentice, then if he declines, it is likely that he will move out of Longchuan City in the next few generations, and he will be able to continue to prosper.
However, Xiang Xuan shook his head, Xiang Ming and Uncle Jiu were stunned, and then the expressions of the two changed completely.
Xiang Ming was overjoyed, while Uncle Jiu was shocked and incredulous.
"Xiao Xuan'er, what are you talking about! I heard you right! You ...... Did you refuse?" Uncle Nine asked reluctantly.
Xiang Xuan pursed her lips, she had already expected her grandfather's reaction, she turned her head to look at Xiang Ming: "The Xiang family has a cloud of training, and it is trustworthy and renewal, since Xiang Xuan has become a disciple of that master, naturally he will not worship others as masters anymore." ”
Uncle Nine looked at Xiang Ming in some surprise, and then he remembered the scene that day when Xiang Ming gave Xiang Xuan a token.
Uncle Jiu, who has always been close to Xiang Ming in every way, now looks at Xiang Ming with a strong resentment, missing out on becoming a disciple of the national teacher, this opportunity is not something that anyone can ask for.
"Xiao Xuan'er, you are really confused, that master, you just received a token, you have not really apprenticed to the master, the name of this master and apprentice has not yet been completed, why do you want to refuse such a master who stands up to the sky and the earth. ”
Uncle Jiu's thoughts are the same as that of Master Zhuangzi, and he feels that if he does not officially become a master and apprentice, the title of master and apprentice is not really established.
Xiang Xuan tilted his head: "Since I have received the master's token, I am the disciple of the master, what is the difference between this and the great gift of apprenticeship." ”
"Xiao Xuan'er, you ...... You really don't know what you're missing!" Uncle Nine sighed helplessly, although he felt that Xiang Xuan's choice was in line with the righteousness and the ancestral teachings of the Xiang family, but the price of this righteousness was really too great.
"Uncle Nine, you don't have to worry too much, the master I found for Xuan'er may be more suitable for Xuan'er than the master of the country. Xiang Ming knew that he was not convincing at the moment, how rare people in this world could compare to the national teacher Luo Wushuang, he didn't know.
Now that the wood is in the boat, Uncle Jiu naturally won't say anything more, just sighing and shaking his head, as if he feels that the prosperity of his vein has missed him.
"Uncle Jiu, in a while, I will go to the border to perform my duties, and I still have some things to entrust to you. "During the day today, Xiang Ming received an order to go to the northwest border in the National Teacher's Mansion, which was jointly issued by the National Teacher and the Lord, and he will leave Longchuan City within ten days.
Uncle Nine was slightly stunned: "So fast, doesn't it mean that it will take at least half a year!"
Xiang Ming's expression was solemn: "Within half a year, the northwest may raise troops, and I need to make some arrangements in advance." ”
