Miao Anyun took Qi Anzhi back to the Star Observation Hall. Because of his identity, no one dared to stop him, even if he brought a stranger.
"Your name is Qi Anzhi?"
"Yes, sir!" Qi Anzhi, who was still observing the surroundings, immediately came back to his senses. His eyes were bright, "Thank you for your help, sir. I am willing to work hard to repay your kindness!"
"Are you serious? Even if I want you to be a groom?" Miao Anyun did not immediately tell him the reason for bringing him back. He just looked at Qi Anzhi quietly and asked.
Qi Anzhi replied with a firm look: "I am willing! If it were not for the adults, I am afraid that this family heirloom would have been snatched away by that servant long ago."
"I don't need you to act like a cow or a horse." Miao Anyun lowered his eyes and spoke lightly. Qi Anzhi's face suddenly became a little anxious, but Miao Anyun's next words made him stunned.
"Are you willing to be my disciple, accept my teachings, and inherit my mantle?"
Qi Anzhi was stunned by the pie falling from the sky. The Imperial Master actually wanted to accept him as a disciple? Who doesn't know that the emperor's only disciple is the current sage. Although Qi Anzhi is somewhat intelligent, he is just an ordinary commoner of the first level. He is not the kind of person without self-awareness, and naturally knows that with his status, it is impossible to become a disciple of the Emperor's Master.
"You don't want to?" Miao Anyun looked at the silent Qi Anzhi and asked.
"That's not the case. I am very willing! But how can I be my disciple?" Qi Anzhi spoke hastily, fearing that Miao Anyun might misunderstand him.
"..." Miao Anyun was silent, "Did you know that I was originally the Imperial Master of Tianyu?"
"The villain knows it!" Qi Anzhi replied respectfully. As a citizen of Tianyu Kingdom, he grew up listening to the deeds of the Imperial Master and was full of respect for the Imperial Master. Not just him, but every citizen of Tianyu Kingdom is like this. In their hearts, the National Master is even more noble than the Holy One. When the Holy One wanted to remove the position of National Preceptor, many people opposed and protested.
"Every national master is a person with extraordinary talents. Their system is different from ordinary people, so they have some strange abilities. You are such a person with a strange system, so I accept you as a disciple. I explain it this way, you can understand ?”
Qi Anzhi nodded, but he still had some doubts in his heart. He usually didn't feel that he was any different from ordinary people? But thinking about it, the Imperial Master had no reason to lie to an unknown boy like him. Now he is somewhat grateful for his so-called system that is different from ordinary people. If not, how would he have the opportunity to become an emperor's disciple
"I am willing to become your disciple!" Qi Anzhi knelt down respectfully. Just as he was about to perform the ceremony of becoming a disciple, he was stopped by Miao Anyun.
"You have to think clearly, all the previous national masters will not survive their thirties because of this strange ability."
"... I am willing!" A look of hesitation flashed across Qi Anzhi's eyes for a moment, but it disappeared completely in the next second. So what if I can't survive? It is better to be glorious for a moment than to live a mediocre life. Moreover, a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. The Imperial Master helped him, so he must repay him well.
"In that case, from now on, you will be my disciple. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations." Seeing him make his decision, Miao Anyun also breathed a sigh of relief. If Qi Anzhi didn't want to, he couldn't force him.
"yes!"

"What does Xiu Yuan want from me?" Leng Hanxuan asked as he stepped back from the palace maid and eunuch. In private, he still calls himself me in front of Miao Anyun. The word "I" is too distant and he doesn't like it. If it weren't for Miao Anyun's objection, he would probably call himself this in front of everyone.
This throne was originally only for the sake of cultivating the distance, but now it has been achieved
He arranged for secret guards to protect Xiu Yuan, so he knew what happened today. Xiuyuan's abnormal behavior in recent days is probably all because of this person. Coming to him now is probably because of the young man he brought back today. Leng Hanxuan felt relieved, but this did not affect his good mood. Since he ascended the throne, Xiu Yuan rarely comes to see him.
"I met a young man today who is extremely talented. I would like to take him as my disciple. Your Majesty would like to accept him." Miao Anyun bowed and then spoke.
"..." Dark clouds suddenly formed on Leng Hanxuan's face. In his opinion, he alone is enough for Miao Anyun's apprentice.
"I have accepted him as a disciple, and you must not break your promise. May your Majesty fulfill his promise." Looking at Leng Hanxuan's bad expression, Miao Anyun said this without knowing what he thought of.
"Just make Xiuyuan's decision on this matter." Leng Hanxuan was a little unhappy when he learned that Miao Anyun had accepted him as a disciple. But when he saw that there was a hint of probing in Miao Anyun's eyes and a bit of casualness in his tone, he felt secretly happy. Is there anything else you disagree with
"Xiu Yuan hasn't talked to me like this for a long time." Leng Hanxuan was afraid that the turtle would retract into his shell again, so Leng Hanxuan quickly took advantage of the victory and pursued him. There was an extremely pleasant smile on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Miao Anyun looked at Leng Hanxuan and felt that the familiarity in her heart was even stronger. Although he still looked respectful, his tone softened a bit.
The matter was settled just like that. After that, Miao Anyun began to teach Qi Anzhi. Qi Anzhi is very smart and he learns quickly, probably every national teacher is like this. It has grown rapidly in a short period of time. Although he is still a bit immature in dealing with things, he already has the appearance of a stable courtier. Miao Anyun has no doubt that if Qi Anzhi is given more time, sooner or later he will be able to grow to the level of "Ning Xiuyuan". But what they lack most is time.
…
Recently, Chishui and Zishan formed an alliance with the intention of attacking Tianyu. Originally, the three countries were almost equal in strength and maintained a strange balance. Now Chishui and Zishan have suddenly formed an alliance for some unknown reason, but this has broken the balance. The two countries jointly attacked Tianyu, but Tianyu was retreating steadily.
"Chishui and Zishan have recently invaded. Do you have any ideas?" Leng Hanxuan sat on the throne with a solemn expression.
"This..." The ministers looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, if the two countries unite, our country will never be able to defeat them. How about ceding a few cities to Chishui and Zishan?" The prime minister stepped forward and suggested. He was always a peacemaker and naturally did not want to fight. Besides, he is old and no longer has the courage he had when he was young.
"How could the ambitions of Chishui and Zishan Langzi give in because of a few cities! The Prime Minister is confused!" Leng Hanxuan sneered and smashed the inkstone casually.
He didn't expect that Leng Hanxuan would be so angry. The prime minister was hit by an inkstone and his forehead was immediately broken open, but he didn't dare to complain at all. He crouched on the ground in fear, not daring to say another word. Several ministers who had the same idea as him trembled even more. They were already on the verge of expressing support, but they swallowed it down.
"I plan to lead the expedition myself! I wonder what the emperor thinks?" Leng Hanxuan calmed down a bit and looked at Miao Anyun, who looked calm.
"Wei Chen thinks that it would be great for His Majesty to lead the expedition in person and boost morale." Miao Anyun had no objection.
"This must not be done. Your Majesty is on the march personally. If something goes wrong, what should I do, Your Majesty?"
"I think what the Imperial Master said is absolutely true!"
…
"I will set off for the border tomorrow." Leng Hanxuan ignored all the courtiers who strongly objected and made the decision. I'm afraid there is no better way now. The battle on the front line was urgent. If he was delayed for another ten days and a half because of these ministers, Chishui and Zishan might have to attack Tianyu capital.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." The minister's call came from behind, but Leng Hanxuan ignored it. No matter what, he decided to settle the customs here!
Hall of Supreme Harmony
"When I leave the capital, everything in the court will be left to you!" Leng Hanxuan made no secret of his trust in Miao Anyun.
"I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's expectations."
"Xiuyuan." Leng Hanxuan suddenly called out to Miao Anyun.
"What else does your Majesty have to do?" Miao Anyun turned around and saw Leng Hanxuan staring at him with burning eyes.
"If I come back safely, will Xiu Yuan marry me?" Leng Hanxuan stared at Miao Anyun with his dark eyes, his expression was extremely serious, and there was still some unconcealable nervousness in it.
"...Your Majesty, you are joking." Miao Anyun narrowed her eyes to hide the complicated look in her eyes.
"You know that I... that's all, go back." Leng Hanxuan hurriedly wanted to explain that this was never a joke, but saw Miao Anyun lowering his head, obviously deliberately avoiding the problem. He sighed and waved his hand a little tiredly.

Leng Hanxuan was dressed in military uniform, riding on horseback and looking back at the city. Leng Hanxuan was a little disappointed when he didn't find the familiar figure on the city wall.
"Your Majesty, it's time to set off." A general reminded cautiously.
"Let's go." He turned the horse's head without hesitation and led the army towards the border.
I don't know when I can return from this trip, and I can't guarantee whether I can come back alive. Leng Hanxuan specially left a secret edict for this purpose. If he unfortunately dies in battle, this secret edict will surely protect Xiu Yuan. If he could come back, he would never allow Xiu Yuan to escape again.
The moment he turned the horse's head, Miao Anyun appeared on the city wall. He looked at Leng Hanxuan with worry in his eyes. Although he knew that this trip would be risky, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Frowning, Miao Anyun made a magic gesture, and a little bit of invisible white light quietly melted into Leng Hanxuan's body. After doing all this, Miao Anyun relaxed his brows. I hope his preparations are unnecessary.
