Chapter 204: Before the New Year's Pass
Ye Xingyuan successfully completed the task of offering auspiciousness, received the knighthood, left the palace and returned to the museum, and rested for one night. The next day, the emperor ordered someone to send a letter of En Cavalry Lieutenant, and after Ye Xingyuan put the incense case to worship, he was recognized by the Mandate of Heaven, and officially obtained the rank of seven grades, and also obtained an additional kind of magical power.
This kind of supernatural power comes from the mandate of heaven, and it does not belong to the same system as the "Haoran Body", "Pure Heart Holy Sound", and "Calling the Wind and Rain", and it may not be very accustomed to ordinary readers. But Ye Xingyuan also has two kinds of magical powers that are different from the Tianji system, "broken word trick" and "anti-word trick", and he has long been experienced, so under the trial, he can be regarded as handy.
This magical skill is called "Thunderbolt String Shock", which is a bow technique, which can shoot a light arrow with an empty bow without arrows, which is more powerful than ordinary arrows, and has a more miraculous effect on demons and spirits.
Xungui started with martial arts, especially riding and shooting, this "thunderbolt string shock" as the magic power of the Qipinen cavalry captain is appropriate, although it feels useless to Ye Xingyuan, but it is always better than nothing.
After all, he had a lot of self-defense powers before, but he lacked the means of physical attacks, and when he encountered danger before, Ouyang Ziyu and Mo Niangzi took action, so he could only watch from the sidelines, at most harassing him with the pure heart holy sound. Now, if he encounters any more monsters, he can finally stand up and release the cold arrow from afar.
This supernatural power is closely related to archery, and the more refined the archery technique can be, the stronger the power of this supernatural power will naturally be. Speaking of which, "shooting" is also one of the six arts of a gentleman, and a scholar should have learned, but this dynasty has taken a scholar with eight strategies, and no one has learned this kind of thing for a long time, and Ye Xingyuan is at most a showman.
Fortunately, Ye Xingyuan has a lot of spiritual power, and the power of this light arrow is not small, Ye Xingyuan tried out his magical powers in the courtyard, pulled the bowstring, and only listened to the sound of thunderclaps. The light arrow was very slow to castrate, but under the contact, it still shot a lake rock on the opposite side.
"Brother Ye Xian is so strong!" Li Cheng was about to come over to congratulate, but when he saw Ye Xingyuan showing his hand, he was shocked and said: "It is the military general of the DPRK and China, and he has been working hard all day long." I didn't see the power of Brother Ye's arrow, but unfortunately the archery skills were too poor. ”
When Li Cheng heard that Ye Xingyuan was knighted, he was extremely envious. After serving as a general, he was obsessed with reviving his family's reputation and taking back the original title of the Li family. It's a pity that it looks indefinite, and I don't want Ye Xingyuan to be knighted when he was a teenager, and he is really more angry than others.
However, although his temper is not good, his measures are not bad, and there is no jealousy. Outspoken and instructive is also because he has a straightforward temperament and can't speak. Ye Xingyuan knew that he had good intentions, so he didn't care and smiled: "The little brother is a literati, where can he dance with a knife and a gun?" But this arrow should be enough to defend himself. ”
When he saw this great power, he was also a little complacent, but Li Cheng smiled and said: "Brother Xian, this arrow frame is good-looking, but it is useless to say self-defense." Your bow is too soft, so the arrow speed is too slow and the range is short. If you lose your head again, those who know a little martial arts can dodge. Unless he stands still and takes your arrow. ”
Ye Xingyuan thought about it, so he put down his bow and said with an open-minded smile: "I really don't play with this material, I still go back to study honestly, and in the future, I will probably not need this magic power in the court." ”
This supernatural power should be practiced by a good student. It is very useful to kill generals and capture the flag on the battlefield, but Li Cheng knows that Ye Xingyuanzhi is not here, so he will not persuade him more, but it is a pity in his heart.
He sighed and said, "Brother Xian, you will be the ruler in the future." Now that your errand is over, you still have to stay in Beijing and wait for next year's examination, I don't know if you will continue to live in this inn or find another place to live?"
Ye Xingyuan's errand ended cleanly, and Li Cheng's Hua Shigang didn't know that it would be delayed until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey, and this posture basically had to be celebrated in the capital. He was expecting Ye Xingyuan to stay in the post house and be a partner, so he came to ask.
Ye Xingyuan thought for a while and said, "When I left Dinghu Province, I told you that I would enter Beijing with Xiangrui this time and not return. However, the rest of the people, except for Brother Tang, are all going back. As soon as they leave, will we still live in this inn?
Brother Tang originally said that he wanted to live with me and buy a house in Beijing, but now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there is really nowhere to find it in a hurry. ”
Li Cheng shook his head and said, "Why do you need to buy a house at this time? It will not be too late for you to buy it next year when you are a jinshi, and you will have a lot of discounts at that time." During this period, I will live in the post house, which is spacious and convenient, if there is a virtuous brother in you, we will not entertain others outside the two families.
Brother Xian, your identity is different now, and you are about to rise to the top, and the owner of the inn is afraid that he wants you to stay longer, and the foolish brother also wants to beg you to accompany him. ”
If Ye Xing is far away, the post house is half empty, and he has to entertain others, and the owner of the post house will not give Li Cheng a good look. If Ye Xingyuan can be retained, Li Cheng's life will be much better, so he will also work hard.
Ye Xingyuan knew what he was thinking, and said with a dumb smile: "Since this is the case, I really don't bother to move again, so I will go to discuss with Brother Tang, keep the post house, and celebrate the New Year here, and wait for the test in March next year." ”
Li Cheng was overjoyed, "That's good, let's celebrate the New Year together, and we will have a lively time." You should buy things, you don't have to bother, you have your sister-in-law Zhang Luo. ”
There is still a month before the New Year, and the people of Dinghu Province who came with Ye Xingyuan are like arrows, and they want to rush back to their hometown during the lunar month. After they left, Ye Xingyuan was unaccompanied in the capital, even if he was accompanied by Lao Tang, it was inevitable that the New Year would not be lively, thinking that it would be good to be with Li Chengzuo, so he nodded and agreed immediately.
After Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan said, Tang Shiyan had no opinion, but Zhu Ning'er also insisted on staying with him, which gave Ye Xingyuan a headache. He advised: "The matter of the north-south long canal project still needs to be coordinated by you. Brother Tang stayed here because he went to the next year's meeting with me, and if we were lucky, then we might not return to Dinghu again. It is inconvenient for you to stay here, and no one will send you back in the future. ”
Zhu Ning'er replied: "It is precisely after the main guild test before leaving, at this time it is the New Year to go back, and it is cold weather, and the project is difficult to move." With my father in charge, it is useless for me to go back at this time, if the lord can enter high school, I will use this prestige to return to my hometown, and I can control people's hearts more.
At that time, I didn't need to be sent by the lord, I crossed Dinghu from Jingchu and walked thousands of miles. What's the point of taking a boat back from the waterway of the capital? Not to mention that there must be a Raven God believer all the way to help, and it is very safe!"
What are you doing to control people's hearts at this time? Besides, when will there be crow god believers all the way from the capital to Dinghu? Ye Xingyuan couldn't cry or laugh at this little girl's ambition, and said bitterly: "In the past few months, I have been studying behind closed doors, and I have no time to take care of him, you will be very bored here." ”
Zhu Ning'er said: "It is precisely because I know that the lord must concentrate on preparing for homework, so Ning'er has to assist here, and now the crow god Xiangrui rescues the driver, and the emperor himself seals it, and it is time to set up a stronghold in the capital."
Today, I met with a few donors, and calculated that they would raise 20,000 or 30,000 silver to build a big temple of the crow god on the west side of the imperial city. ”
Ye Xingyuan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this little girl to make such a big move silently. It's only been a day since this face saint, how could she have already contacted such a generous "donor"? This means that she had already contacted the residents of the city before this, and Ye Xingyuan didn't even know about it.
Tang Shiyan sighed: "Brother Xian, your woman really doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp!"
Ye Xingyuan was helpless, what Zhu Ning'er said was also right, Ye Xingyuan thought that he had sent the Buddha to the West Heaven with benevolence and righteousness, and he didn't have time to work for this righteous god anymore. But after the emperor was sealed, the belief in the crow god must have a vigorous development, at this time in the capital in the middle of the crow temple is indeed a good time, can do this, it seems that only this little girl with great powers.
"Then you will stay in Beijing for the time being, but you must be careful in what you say and do. The wood has been completed, Ye Xingyuan had no choice but to advise diligently, and Zhu Ning'er happily agreed.
On the first day of December, Dinghu Province entered the team of Xiangrui, except for Ye Xingyuan, Tang Shiyan, and Zhu Ning'er, all of whom left Beijing and returned. The post house immediately vacated a large area, and the Jiangnan Huashigang team, which was originally crowded, was finally able to live a little more relaxed, and Li Cheng also invited Ye Xingyuan to drink again that night.
"Today, your sister-in-law will cook and entertain your guests. Li Cheng sighed while earnestly persuading me to drink: "Not to mention the grace of the virtuous brother to my life, it is this official rank, and now the foolish brother is also dumbfounded, and when he tries it, it is really high to invite the virtuous brother to drink again." ”
Ye Xingyuan has now been knighted, and he has been promoted to the seventh grade, Li Cheng is just a nine-rank envoy, and it seems that there is no chance of promotion. Unlike Ye Xingyuan, who will try to be a middle school jinshi next year, he will jump into the dragon gate, and the difference in the identities of the two will be even more different at that time.
"Brother Li is just a talent, as long as there is a chance, he will definitely fly in the sky, and when the time comes, he will have to bring the younger brother with him. Ye Xingyuan is also optimistic about Li Cheng, and a military general like him is used in troubled times. Now the undercurrent of the DPRK and China is surging, and there is restlessness on all sides, once the war breaks out and Li Cheng has military merits, then he will be promoted like riding a rocket. What's more, he has a hard foundation and ancestral powers, but he just lacks a chance.
Li Changcheng sighed, "The place where we come into play is nothing more than when there is war, and the so-called peace dog is better than the troubled world." I'd rather not have this opportunity than let the people be displaced, but I hope everything is peaceful!"
Mrs. Li was serving the food, and when she heard his words, she smiled gloomily: "It is precisely this reason, I have long advised you to be safe and stable, not to think about what to do with your wife and son, and to enjoy peace in the countryside?
Do you remember what I told you the day before yesterday? Now that Ye Gongzi has been knighted, this treasure knife has been given to Ye Gongzi as a form of congratulations! What are you still doing with this bane?"
While speaking, she walked directly to Li Cheng's side, took off the saber from his waist, and respectfully sent it to Ye Xingyuan. (To be continued......)
