Ji Changze's apprenticeship is for the guests to enjoy themselves.
When the complete set of furniture inlaid with gold edges was moved out, his new teacher's favorability score would have soared to 200% if it could be seen.
It was difficult for Zhou Daru to accept the gift of gold and silver.
But it doesn't matter if you send furniture.
The furniture is all at home anyway, so if you take a little gold and sell it, no one will notice.
In Zhou Daru's eyes, when Ji Changze sent these, he immediately became his most satisfied disciple.
The two get along very well.
When Ji Changze left, the teacher Zhou Daru was still standing at the door to see him off.
Ji Changze also looked reluctant.
Wait until the sedan starts to move.
Whether it was Ji Changze inside the sedan or Zhou Daru outside the sedan, the reluctance on their faces disappeared instantly.
Ji Changze lay back and closed his eyes comfortably, calculating how many days it would take to complete his plan.
Zhou Daru happily returned to his room to see how much gold could be exchanged for the furniture.
His son Zhou Duan was also happy to be born from heaven.
He didn't quite believe it when his father told him before.
Unexpectedly, a child from a powerful family actually came to his father to become his disciple.
But after the father and son happily looked at the furniture at home again and again, they became a little confused.
Because Zhou Duan suddenly remembered: "Father, where does this little junior brother come from?"
Zhou Daru was stunned.
What's the origin
Hey!
After chatting with the young apprentice for so long, he didn't even ask. It was really a mistake.
But after all, he didn't think much of the way to accept a disciple, mainly because Ji Changze gave too much. Even for a merchant, Zhou Daru felt that this apprenticeship was very worthwhile.
He quickly put away his confusion.
While waiting for his son's vacation time to expire, Zhou Daru, who had scraped the gold and sold it, was unusually generous this time.
He completed the equipment for his son and daughter-in-law's carriage and gave them some silver coins.
Finally, he gave Zhou Duan the knife given by Ji Changze.
"Nagaze said this knife is a good one. The weather here has been smooth for me. I haven't even encountered a thief in a year, and it's of no use. Your place is full of dangers. I heard there are a lot of thieves. This knife, you Just take it and use it.”
Zhou Duan was just like his father. Although the sword looked good, he was just a scholar after all and didn't take it seriously.
And because the place where he works is relatively close to the border, there are all kinds of thieves, bandits and robbers, but those thieves, bandits and robbers only rob ordinary people.
These official sedans all have official emblems on them. Those thieves and robbers are not stupid and will not rob officials to avoid retaliation.
In addition, Zhou Duan is just a civil servant and does not need to go into battle in person, so he is not very sensitive to these things.
But his father said it, so he accepted it.
And Ji Changze over there has returned to Kaiyang City.
He was lying by the window, looking down with a telescope in his hand.
A white guard knocked on the door and came in, handing him a letter.
"Sir, Zhou Duan is setting off."
"good."
Ji Changze put away the monocular telescope, picked up the letter and read it.
The letter was written by Bai Wei, who stayed with Zhou Da's Confucian father. It clearly stated that Zhou Duan had set off, and indeed he had brought the sword he had given him.
The smartest remaining Bai Wei has already begun to follow Ji Changze's instructions.
After Ji Changze finished reading, he opened the book and sent the letter to be burned.
The white guard who delivered the letter acted as if he hadn't seen him, with an expression on his face like "I'm just an ordinary secret guard."
After the last letter was reduced to ashes, Ji Changze continued to look down with a monocular.
"It's business as usual."
"yes."
Ji Changze wanted to solve it as soon as possible.
So it is estimated that he will be able to leave Kaiyang City in less than a month.
On the distant road, Zhou Duan and his party were walking towards the city where they worked.
When we were about to reach the place, there were obviously more malicious people around.
There were just so many people, but no one attacked them.
However, there are novices who are eager to report to the boss, hoping to seize the top spot.
Then he was laughed at unceremoniously by the leader.
"Although these officials are weak, they are still officials. As soon as we take action here, they will immediately call a group of soldiers to kill us. Are you stupid? You dare to attack the officials."
"And look at how poor he is. He doesn't have much money, so he won't be able to get much if he gets it."
So this last one is the reason.
All in all, there is a reason why Zhou Duan and the others can go back to visit their father with peace of mind as a family.
The thieves and bandits are not fools, and there is no need to offend the local government for a small profit.
Therefore, when facing officials, they always turn a blind eye.
Seeing that everything was going well and he was about to arrive, Zhou Duan had already thought about what to eat for dinner. Suddenly, a bunch of people came out.
These people had a strong aura and were approaching menacingly, shouting and heading towards Zhou Duan's carriage.
Zhou Duan was so frightened that he asked the driver to drive the carriage towards the city and gave a horse to a boy to report the news back to the city.
I don't know if it was luck or not, but the boy actually managed to rush out amidst the heavy siege of the robbers.
He hurriedly and slowly arrived at the city gate. He didn't even have time to enter the city, so he grabbed a guard and asked for help.
A general happened to be on inspection that day. Hearing that the robbers were so cruel and dared to attack the court officials, he immediately ordered a group of people and rushed over.
The distance between the two sides is not far.
It didn't take much time for them to rush over, but by chance, they happened to see Zhou Duan being forced out of the sedan.
The robbers laughed, as if besieging the officials was a lively game, and forced Zhou Duan to fight with them.
For the sake of his wife and children, Zhou Duan had no choice but to bite the bullet.
He is a civil servant, how can he have any weapons
Fortunately, my father gave me a knife in return, so I fought with just that knife.
The robber's long knife struck hard, and Zhou Duan was caught off guard and could only block it with the knife in a panic.
--clang!
In full view of the public, the robber's long knife broke.
The robber, who was covered in black paint, was obviously stunned, and then the other robber immediately waved his knife.
--clang!
His knife actually broke.
The two robbers looked at each other, then glanced at the large army approaching: "Withdraw!"
This group of robbers left just as fast as they came.
Even if the army rushed to chase them, they could not catch up with them.
Zhou Duan, on the other hand, was frightened for no apparent reason. Before he could react, he was grabbed by the general.
"Which camp are you a soldier from? You look so weak, but you have so much strength?"
Zhou Duan, a scholar, was slapped by the general's big palm and almost vomited blood. He could only retreat quickly and salute to explain:
"No, it's not me. I've never practiced martial arts. It's this sword."
Only then did the general notice the ordinary knife in his hand.
To say it's unremarkable is to say it's really unremarkable.
As a magical weapon that should shock the world, this knife is not so bright that it makes people scream at the sight of it, nor does it have such a cool color.
It looks like an ordinary knife.
Even, it's a bit short.
At least in the general's hands, it looked particularly petite.
The general looked left and right over and over again. He was cautious and did not directly touch the blade. Instead, he asked his soldiers:
"Give me your knife."
Xiaobing quickly handed over his knife.
The general held Xiaobing's sword in one hand and Zhou Duan's sword in the other. They collided with each other.
--clang!
The soldier's knife was broken.
The general's pupils suddenly tightened, and the expression on his face became much more cautious.
He turned to the person again and said, "Take my penis off."
The general's weapon is a gift from His Majesty. Unless it is necessary, he is reluctant to use his treasured weapon and usually keeps it in the palace.
Once it comes time to use it, it must be in wartime.
When Zhou Duan's family regained their mood, the general's penis was also taken from the house.
He asked a soldier to hold Zhou Duan's knife, and he held the gun himself, and asked the soldier to fight with him.
□□This time it didn’t break as soon as it came up like those knives, but it took two moves before it broke.
When the head broke off and flew out, the soldier who was ordered to attack the general turned pale and quickly knelt down to apologize.
Who among the general's soldiers doesn't know that this weapon is a royal gift from His Majesty.
Now that the things given by the emperor are broken, if your majesty takes the blame...
The faces of everyone around him were pale, and even Zhou Duan looked panicked.
This was broken by his family's knife, so it won't affect their family, right?
In the midst of all their worries, the general's hearty laughter seemed very out of place.
In other words, he has a high status and no one dares to say anything.
Otherwise, you will definitely be called crazy.
Of course, the general himself didn't care much about this.
He smiled happily.
"Master Zhou, tell me quickly, where did you get this magical weapon? If this kind of weapon can be mass-produced, no, it doesn't need to be mass-produced, even if there are only a dozen more, it will be enough for our army to be overwhelming. ”
The general is really happy.
He has always had a keen eye for war and knew exactly what effect this sword would have if placed on the battlefield.
His sword was a gift from His Majesty. The gift was certainly more powerful than an ordinary sword. It was said to be made of some kind of gold and was very precious.
He usually fights with his penis and never stops fighting.
But today, □□ is disconnected.
This shows that this sword is more powerful than the best weapons today.
If it can be mass produced...
The general's hands were shaking with excitement.
Something to mention here.
This general, he is no ordinary general.
When His Majesty was seven years old, the late emperor felt that he was not far away from death. In order to avoid the suspicion of the young master, he had been committed to making his young son into an all-round talent.
Three martial arts masters and three literary masters.
Coupled with the teachings from the important ministers in the court in turn.
The general is one of the three martial arts masters.
He has watched the little emperor grow up. The two have a master-disciple relationship, and their friendship is naturally unparalleled by others.
If other generals want to convey any message to the DPRK, they need to make concessions and act in accordance with the rules and regulations.
It was passed up layer by layer, and then it was sent to the emperor after the review was completed.
The general is different.
He could write directly to the emperor.
And because the emperor yearned to face the life-and-death battles against the gangsters outside, he also had to face the dangers of the desert. The barbarians would invade from time to time and then be beaten out.
The general had written to him frequently before.
Now, after figuring out where the knife in Zhou Duan's hand came from, he excitedly started writing a letter.
While writing the letter, he sent someone to contact Ji Changze.
Zhou Duan was frightened at first, and then he was frightened again when the general's penis broke.
As a result, when he was asked for information about the knife for a long time, he finally came to his senses.
"My junior brother said that this knife is a specialty of their family, and he specially took it out as a gift this time."
"Where is he from? I don't know. He didn't say anything. He probably lives in a relatively remote place or has strict discipline. When he talked, it seemed as if he had not had much contact with outsiders before."
Although the general is engaged in fighting, it does not mean that he has no brains.
After asking around, he found something was wrong.
Such a big living person has never revealed his origins.
There are so many skilled white guards around him.
"What kind of temperament does that young master have? You know this, right?"
"He looks very cheerful, and his temperament is what an ordinary young man of this age should look like. He is a bit naive."
How could he not be naive and eager to learn from his father even though his painting skills were similar to those of his father
"He lives in Kaiyang City. He said that he has something to do at home and needs him to come out to take care of it. When it is done, he will come to see my father again."
The general keenly grasped the key word: "Come out?"
Zhou Duan looked blank: "Yes, come out."
The word "come out" may not mean much in normal times.
But looking at the sword in his hand that was as sharp as clay, the general suddenly had a lot on his mind.
But no matter how much I think about it, the most important thing is to write a letter to His Majesty.
It would be a great thing if we had this magic weapon to help us.
After the general's letter was sent, he worked hard for seven days before arriving at the imperial city.
The emperor is sixteen years old this year.
It's a bit embarrassing at this age.
In ancient times, sixteen years old was the age when you could marry a wife and have children. In fact, this was true. The emperor already had many empresses in his harem.
But, even in ancient times, a sixteen-year-old was still a young boy in the eyes of others.
The emperor can be said to be very diligent.
The late emperor was in poor health. From the time the emperor was born, he always looked like he was ready to fly to the west at any time.
At that time, everyone in the court was ready to face an infant emperor.
But when the emperor was five, seven, or ten years old, the late emperor still looked like he wanted to leave at any time but would not leave.
It was not until the emperor was fifteen years old, considered an adult, able to hold political power, and had many close associates around him, that the late emperor died with peace of mind.
This also resulted in that the emperor, who had to rely on him to hold up the country when his father died at any time, was always in a state of high pressure.
It was also a sin. From the age of three, when other children could barely learn to read, he was already struggling to write with a brush.
But even with all this effort, the emperor still faced a lot of doubts because of his age.
No matter how much the late emperor prepared for him, he himself worked very hard, but after all, he was still young and would always make mistakes.
When these mistakes happened, even if the ministers didn't say anything, the emperor felt like a heavy stone was weighing on his heart.
He is young but has already shouldered the burden of the country. He urgently needs to do something to prove that he is a wise king and can bear the burden of the country.
Therefore, even if he actually prefers to practice martial arts and guns, he still has to concentrate on dealing with government affairs every day, and at most he can practice two guns in the martial arts training ground when he has free time.
He can't practice too much because he needs to go to bed early and get up early.
Otherwise, if you don't sleep well at night, you won't be energetic the next day, and you won't be able to be a good emperor in high spirits.
Now he carries a heavy burden every day.
Of course, wait until a few years later, when he is in his twenties or thirties.
By that time, he was already familiar with the identity of the emperor and had children in the harem. The ministers around him no longer worried that he would do something wrong because of his young age.
At this time, when he looks back on the present, he will only feel that he was too young at the time, and he was just trying to prove that he was a good emperor.
Back to the present, the emperor who is not as calm as he was later is still the little emperor who is eager to prove himself.
At this time, he received letters from the general and King Kang at the same time.
The letter written by the general said that there is a magical weapon in the world. If it can be used on the battlefield, their country's soldiers will be invincible.
The letter sent by his eldest brother Kang Wang said that he had made friends with a Wangnianjiao.
This year-end friend is very strange, he is very generous, and he is more observant than in awe of the royal family.
Although he is very young, his paintings are comparable to those of people in their seventies and eighties.
Most importantly, because they got along so well, Wang Nian gave him a monocular telescope.
Note: They had never heard of a telescope before.
This thing called a telescope is very magical. It can see things thousands of miles away, and it can be seen with incomparable clarity. It is like an artifact written in a storybook.
After receiving it, he was shocked at first, and then realized how much change this telescope would make if used in the military, so he quickly wrote a letter to inform the little emperor.
And he also specifically stated that he had sent people out to investigate since he met Wang Nianjiao.
But after searching again and again, I couldn't find any identity information.
Wangnianjiao suddenly appeared in Kaiyang City, and the guards around him also appeared next to him in one night.
And his guards looked strange.
He looked more energetic than the guards around the emperor.
Prince Kang also said that he is currently trying to find out who Wang Nianjiao is, but just in case, he still needs to report to the little emperor.
It would be best if he could send someone to check.
The little emperor put the two letters together and saw the two names written on them.
Ji Changze.
A magical weapon that can easily cut through swords.
An artifact that can easily see events thousands of miles away.
He is generous and can draw better than people in their seventies or eighties at a young age.
He suddenly thought of:
"Could it be that a god came to this world?"
Knowing that the little emperor was usually just a eunuch who loved to read story books, he lowered his head and pretended to be dead.
Fortunately, the little emperor is still very conscious.
If he really is a god.
You probably don’t need to stay in an inn.
Don’t all the gods in storybooks drink dew
After much thought, he still found the people arranged for him by his father and asked them to investigate quickly.
These guys are pretty fast.
When they arrived in Kaiyang City, they began to collect information about Ji Changze, and found that Ji Changze indeed seemed to appear out of thin air.
In the past, let alone him, even his name didn't make any impression.
Although he came to Kaiyang City in the name of looking for a relative, he was not in a hurry to find a relative. Instead, he wandered around eating and drinking every day. In a month, he spent more than 100,000 yuan.
These royal guards did not give up easily, but began to investigate carefully again.
Then they discovered that Ji Changze was really not a spendthrift.
Everywhere he went, he would ask the locals if they thought their lives were good and that the court was good.
After you get the answer, leave satisfied.
Because the investigation has been stuck in trouble, a royal guard suddenly thought of asking those bags to make inquiries.
These bags don't look at their humble status.
But in fact, in a city, their eyes and ears are the best.
They found a man named Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie is an old man. He first asked for a very high price, and then shook his head and shared his information:
"This young man came from the mountains. I don't know what kind of mountain it is, but I must have lived in the mountains before."
"I also wanted to know what he does before. I don't know how much effort it took, and I even came to contact him personally. Jiang is still very old. No, I found out that he is not from the Ji family, because he The place where he is doesn’t have the surname Ji at all.”
The emperor waited for half a month before the investigation on Ji Changze's identity was sent all the way from Kaiyang City.
Expand it and take a look.
He was shocked at first, then overjoyed.
Ji Changze, he actually came from a hidden family.
What is a hidden family? They are those big families with money, talents and abilities, and they are able to eat and drink wherever they go.
They would choose to hide as a whole clan when a faint king appears, live in seclusion in the mountains, and wait until a wise king appears before appearing to help.
The hidden family has always seemed to be just a legend.
Because for thousands of years, everyone has only heard that a certain family has disappeared from the world, but they have never seen these hidden families come out again.
The official explanation is that these reclusive families did not feel that they had met the Qiangu Mingjun, so they did not come out.
But most people think that if they don't come out, they may have been submerged in the long river of history.
After all, talent is of little use if you are not an official.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for the family to decline as generations pass by.
For the little emperor who always loved reading story books, the hidden family had always been a common prop in story books.
That Ji Changze turned out to be from a hidden family.
Why was he born
The little emperor was extremely pleasantly surprised. In the face of these two powerful treasures, the magic weapon and the telescope, he did not doubt the authenticity of the information at all.
There was only one thought left in my mind.
Do they think that I am an eternal wise king and have just come into the world to help me? !
I know it! I'm so awesome!
