I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 278: Take apprentices

Views:

Xiang Muyao learned about the situation of Sheng Kingdom in the past three months, and Jiang Beiran found that the reform plan was going more smoothly than he imagined, and Lulin County was indeed slowly evolving towards what he imagined.

Mu Yao: "In addition, although Yangchong County is not as smooth as Lulin County, the lives of the people are much better than before. Your Majesty, do you think we should spread this new policy to the entire Sheng Kingdom?"

"Of course not." Jiang Beiran vetoed.

"Why?" Mu Yao asked very puzzled, "Now the situation in Yangchong County and Lulin County makes other counties very envious, and even people from other counties have gone through hardships and smuggled to Lulin County. , This proves that your policy, Your Majesty, is very successful."

Glancing at Mu Yao, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, "I really don't know what you have learned from studying politics for so long."

"I..." Mu Yao just wanted to refute, but remembered that she had never won against the emperor, so she simply lowered her head to hear what was wrong with her.

"The reason why Lulin County can implement the New Deal so smoothly is because I have concentrated resources there first, that is, I have used the power of the whole country to help it develop. Otherwise, where do you think so much money and food come from?"

"As for Yangchong County, as the first county of Fengzhou where the Moon Sect is located, they themselves have extremely rich resources, so there is not much resistance to implementing the New Deal. As for other counties... if there is a sudden influx of refugees, The food supply alone is a big problem, understand now?"

"Understood." Mu Yao nodded, "Then... what about other counties?"

"You will know when the time is right."

Just as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Jiang Beiran said.

With a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open, and Kong Qianqian walked in, clutching his buttocks, and said, "Report to the Emperor, the board is finished."

"Well, is there anything else?"

Just as Kong Qianqian was about to say "No more", she suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Reporting to the emperor, there is indeed one thing. There is a person named Hong Yaxuan who has been wanting to visit you for the past three months. She claims to be from Lanzhou. The apprentice of the Sect Master of the Sifang Sect."

Hearing Hong Yaxuan's name, Jiang Beiran frowned and asked, "Did she say what she's here for?"

"She said that she came to present the congratulatory gift to you, the emperor, on behalf of their suzerain. The servant girl kept telling her to keep the things, and the servant girl would report to the emperor, but she just didn't want to, saying that she must give it to you in person."

"Congratulations..." Jiang Beiran secretly nodded twice after hearing this, and understood what Hong Yaxuan was here for.

"When was the last time she came?"

"Hmm..." Kong Qianqian calculated with her fingers, "It should have been five days ago, and she said she would come back in ten days."

"I know, get out"

"Slave obeys the order." Kong Qianqian exited the imperial study after finishing speaking.

When the door of the imperial study room was closed again, Mu Yao began to sneak glances at the emperor from the corner of her eye.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Jiang Beiran, who was flipping through a memorial, said.

Mu Yao hesitated for a moment after listening, and finally asked: "Does the emperor know that Hong Yaxuan?"

"We met once."

"Is that all? How do I feel..."

Halfway through Mu Yao's conversation, she saw Jiang Beiran staring at her. Knowing that she couldn't continue asking, Mu Yao could only silently say in her heart: "I don't know whose girl is going to suffer again..."

At night, Jiang Beiran stood outside the palace and stared at the galaxy, thinking about what to do to maintain the self-enchantment most efficiently.

"See the emperor."

While thinking, a figure came to Jiang Beiran and bowed his hands to Jiang Beiran. It was Lifu City where they were going to meet the Xuanzun tomorrow.

"It seems to be a lot more capable." Jiang Beiran said, looking at Lifucheng.

If Lifu City was a bit like a scholar before going to Liang Country, then after returning this time, his aura has become as strong as a strong man.

Hearing Brother Wang's praise, Li Fucheng pulled down the scarf that covered half of his face, and responded with a smile: "It's really that the country of Liang is too chaotic. There are more in Sheng country."

Seeing a sword wound still recovering on Lifucheng's right face, Jiang Beiran took out a wooden box and handed it to him, "Apply it on the wound, and it will be healed tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's just..." Li Fucheng touched the wound, and said softly, "Just let it stay, it will always remind me to remember this lesson."

Jiang Beiran didn't ask any more questions after listening, and silently took back the wooden box and asked, "Is things going well?"

"Smooth... It can even be said to be unexpectedly smooth."

"Oh? How should I say it?"

"I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort for us to sneak into Liang Country, but I never thought that we would settle down in a county without any obstacles along the way. Later, I originally planned to investigate the county where I was located. Then I slowly figured it out, but I didn't want to get to know a bold village owner because of being involved in a big battle. The village owner didn't ask us where we came from, but arranged a place for us just because we had similar temperaments. Let's get a foothold very quickly."

'Is this the protagonist's aura...'

Although Jiang Beiran thought that letting Lifu City go to Liang State would not encounter any difficult troubles, he didn't expect it to be so easy, it was as if someone had paved the road and waited for him to go.

'It's outrageous! '

"What happened next?" Jiang Beiran asked.

"Later, I used this Chiyan Village as a base and arranged for my brothers to disperse to various counties and counties to do basic investigations. Although many accidents occurred during the period, we did not lose any people. On the contrary, we got to know many local heroes .”

"So you have succeeded in taking root in Liang Guo?"

"I dare not call it a success, but I have established some contacts."

'It took three months to lead the organization to gain a foothold in a completely unfamiliar country... probably this is the protagonist. '

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran said calmly: "It's very good, I really didn't see you wrong."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, I will definitely continue to work hard."

"Well, since you're doing well in Liang Guo, let's talk about tomorrow's affairs."

After hearing this, Li Fucheng couldn't help showing some confusion on his face. He still hasn't figured out what that Xuanzun wants to do. He suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, and made an inexplicable agreement during the period, which made him It's cloudy.

"Who do you think Xuanzun made the agreement for?" Jiang Beiran suddenly asked a question.

"Of course I came here for the emperor." Li Fucheng replied without thinking.

"No." Jiang Beiran shook his head, "That Xuanzun must have come for you."

"Me?" Lifucheng was a little surprised.

In Lifucheng's heart, he and the emperor are completely different. As the saying goes, how can the light of a firefly compete with the bright moon and arouse the interest of a Xuanzun. Of course, only people like the emperor are dragons and phoenixes. It's not his turn.

"That's right, that Sect Master Yan probably took a fancy to your four-element body, and I think he wants to take you as his apprentice."

"Xuanzun... wants to accept me as an apprentice?" Li Fucheng's eyes widened, his face was full of surprise.

You must know that Xuanzun is the cutting-edge combat force on this continent, and has the qualifications to compete for the Central Plains. Each of them is a figure who can make a country tremble three times by stomping their feet.

For such a big person, the requirements for accepting apprentices are naturally high and high, and sometimes the peerless geniuses who are picked out of a million cannot catch their eyes.

But Lifu City didn't feel that he had such qualifications at all.

Seeming to see Li Fucheng's confusion, Jiang Beiran continued: "The tutor is not only in cultivation, since that Xuanzun has taken a fancy to your four-element body, he naturally wants to teach you the art of formation. "

"Formation..." Li Fucheng nodded, then looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "If possible... I hope the emperor will teach me."

Jiang Beiran shook his head after listening. "As I said before, we are equals. I don't plan to teach you anything. Besides, that Xuanzun's formation ability should be far superior to mine. If he really wants to take you as his disciple, You should cherish this opportunity."

"Yes." Li Fucheng cupped his hands.

After the conversation, Jiang Beiran asked Wang Shougui to arrange a residence for Lifucheng, and then went back to the bedroom to rest.

Early the next morning, Liuweihu, who was sleeping on his stomach, suddenly moved his ears, jumped up immediately, and happily ran to the edge of the formation wall looking forward to the distance. The moment Jiang Beiran appeared, Liuweihu The fox flicked its six tails excitedly, but when it realized that Lifu City was following Jiang Beiran, it suddenly exploded.

"Aw! Aw! Aw!!!"

Hearing the six-tailed fox kept yelling "Get lost" in animal language, Jiang Beiran made a silent gesture to it and said, "Shh, you should be happy to see him coming."

After listening to the six tails, the six tails immediately drooped, and said aggrievedly: "Master... is it that the old man is coming..."

"Well, the agreed date has arrived, no matter what the result is, you don't have to continue to be locked inside."

"Wow!!!" The six-tailed fox burst into tears after hearing the "wow", lay on the ground and kept rolling: "I don't want it, I don't want it, then it's better to keep me locked up, master, you Don't let that stinky old man come over, okay, I'm willing to stay here as your pet forever, please."

As soon as the six-tailed fox finished speaking, he saw a figure descending from the sky, landed in front of the little fox and smiled, "Who do you think you don't want to come?"

This question frightened the six-tailed fox and seven souls to go to the six souls, and fell to the ground in all directions, screaming "oooo~" "ooooo~"

"Greetings to Sovereign Yan." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands towards Yan Guangqing.

After hearing this, Li Fucheng also quickly shouted: "Greetings to Sect Master Yan."

Nodding towards the two, Yan Guangqing said, "Well, you have raised this little fox well, and it's still alive and well."

Faced with Yan Guangqing's praise, Jiang Beiran really didn't know how to respond. After all, this is not a test at all, it's just feeding every day, and an individual can feed well.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and replied, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

After hearing this, Yan Guangqing laughed, turned his back and looked into the distance and said: "You little emperor is really interesting. When I came here, I looked around and found that there are quite a lot of strange things in one of the counties. The river is like a city wall. What is a building?"

"Returning to Sect Master Yan, the building is called a dam, and it is used to intercept the water flow in the channel to raise the water level. It can not only prevent floods, but also concentrate the water to form a reservoir to help farmers irrigate their fields."

"Preventing floods and irrigating the farmland is really a fantastic idea, but it's a pity that I don't have much cultivation, otherwise the old man thought that Sheng Kingdom also understood the importance of imperial power, and I asked the old man to say..."

While speaking, Yan Guangqing suddenly shook the bell in his hand

Hearing the "ding bell", Li Fucheng suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, and looked towards the north with extremely frightened eyes.

"Hahahaha... good! What a body of four elephants! It's really wonderful!"

Sensing Li Fucheng's performance, Yan Guangqing suddenly laughed wildly, feeling that Granny Lin's divination skills are really powerful.

When Yan Guangqing laughed wildly, Li Fucheng was still in a state of extreme panic, as if his soul had been taken away.

Jiang Beiran on the side watched silently. The old and the young, one was laughing like crazy, and the other was about to be scared like crazy, which gave him a rare emotion.

'Inexplicable. '

He didn't know what Yan Guangqing was laughing at, and he didn't know what Li Fucheng was afraid of. This feeling was a bit strange to Jiang Beiran who was used to everything under control.

Finally, Yan Guangqing, who was enjoying himself laughing, waved the bell in his hand again, and with the sound of "jingling", Li Fucheng sat down on the ground, sweating profusely like taking a sauna.

Seeing Jiang Beiran looking towards Lifu City, Yan Guangqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, the old man just tested him."

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to ask questions, he explained by himself: "The old man set up a Langya array a hundred miles away, and hid it with a secret method. Just now, the old man canceled the hidden secret method with a bell, and this kid felt it all at once. The Langya Formation, which has not been in operation at all, this level of talent is simply born for the formation together."

'Langya Formation...'

Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart, this is the legendary ancient formation, even Jiang Beiran didn't know what the effect of this formation was.

'Such a large formation... Xuanzun is really terrifying if you say it. '

"So Fucheng felt the horror of the Langya formation, so he was frightened like this?"

"That's right, the Langya formation is one of the ten fierce formations, so how can he, a little great mystic master, touch it, so just sensing the Dao is enough to make his liver and gallbladder tear apart."

"Your old test method is a little too ruthless..."

After explaining, Yan Guangqing walked up to Lifucheng who was still in shock and said, "Is your name Lifucheng?"

Although Li Fucheng's breathing was still a little short, he still managed to stand up and said: "Yes."

"Are you willing to follow the old man to practice formation?"

Thinking of what Brother Wang said yesterday, "If he really wants to take you as his apprentice, you should cherish this opportunity." In addition, Li Fucheng thinks that if he really wants to help Brother Wang, he is still too weak at present. up.

So he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", saluted and shouted: "Master, please accept a bow from Fucheng!"
