"Master, this little friend is..."
The Sheriff forced an ugly smile.
Although today is different from the past, when I saw this former seat owner, I still couldn't help but tremble in my legs, my mouth was dry, my heart was flustered and I was short of breath.
The honored guest, who was called the "Master of the Seat," followed the governor's gaze and looked at Ayan. A warm color flashed deep in his eyes. He gently touched the top of his head with his rough and chapped palms and said warmly: "His nickname is 'Ayan'. "
Hearing the teacher calling him, Ayan took his attention away from the sandwich pastry, blinked, and looked at the teacher blankly, as if asking him what he was calling him for. The old man smiled and pointed in the direction of the county guard and replied: "I'm not calling you, it's just that your senior brother is curious."
Ayan tilted his head, looked at the county guard, then at the old man, and finally at the sandwich cakes on the plate, frowning lightly.
The old man had lived with Ayan for two years and had more or less figured out his way of thinking, so he said: "Your senior brother doesn't like these desserts, and I don't like them either, so these are all yours, no need to divide them."
When the county guard heard the address, he secretly twitched his lips.
He called the old man "Master" because he was remembering his old friendship. He didn't expect that this old man would climb up the pole and get him a cheap junior brother. Speaking of this "junior brother", he vaguely felt that this child named "Ayan" was not very smart.
At least, he is not as clever as ordinary children.
He pinched his nose and "recognized" the cheap junior brother.
When outsiders looked at it, they thought it was some kind of harmonious scene of master's kindness and disciple's filial piety. The county guard showed appropriate concern and asked: "Master, junior brother, who is he?"
"Ayan is very good!"
Talking about Ayan, the old man's demeanor suddenly changed, and the fierceness and oppression of the past could even be vaguely seen in the vicissitudes of his brows, which made the county governor feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. At the same time, he secretly despised himself for not living up to expectations. The old guy in front of him was already declining, so what was there to be afraid of?
The so-called forcefulness seemed to be just the illusion of the county guard. When the old man looked at Ayan, there was infinite pity in his eyes. He sighed deeply and touched Ayan's bun: "He just had a hard life. He had a brain disease since he was born, which makes his mind completely different from that of ordinary children."
Sheriff: "???"
For a moment, he thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Who did he, the host, say was born with a brain disease?
"But, this child is not..."
Whose child with a brain disease can muster the courage and innate supernatural power at the age of six to cut off an adult man's leg with a spear?
The unlucky Si Yan was still lying in the servants' courtyard.
The old man knew what he was going to say, and said without comment: "Although Ayan has a brain disease, he is not stupid, he just has a mental problem. He can learn everything he needs to learn, and he has no problem understanding it. Plus, he has the ability to practice martial arts." Excellent, it’s no surprise that he has the courage to do so.”
Even because of his mental state, he is more focused and hardworking than normal people. As long as it is a training task ordered by the old man, he never complains and will not be lazy.
The old man didn't like others looking at Ayan in a strange way.
Especially people with whom he had a somewhat master-disciple relationship - such as this county guard. Because this only proves that the normal student he once was was not as good as A Yan, who has a brain disease.
The county guard twitched his lips: "..."
He considered it and said: "Is there a difference in mind? It's hard to tell. Junior brother's talent is among the best in the world. However, the world is turbid now. If junior brother can always maintain this innocent heart, it will be a blessing in disguise. It is better than learning. A man of great ability but reduced to power."
Based on his understanding of this host, Ayan is probably his current villain, and he can only praise but not expose his shortcomings. After all, how can an old student like him, who is neither young nor fresh, compare with a "new student" who is only six years old, well-behaved, well-behaved, filial, obedient and cute?
The county guard praised Ayan and listened to his congratulations to his master on his new disciple. After a brief greeting, he quietly inquired about the old man's purpose. But his little ability was not enough in the eyes of the old man.
Facing the old man's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he felt terrified from the bottom of his heart.
I think back then, the old man was also a man of great influence in the court. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a man of influence at that time. The leader of Xin State was able to secure the throne and once made Xin State stand out among the northwest kingdoms. The leader also made great efforts.
It is a pity that he had a smooth official career in his life, but at the end of his career, he made a disgraceful exit. He had an ugly quarrel with the leader of the Xin Kingdom, and it was hard to see that all the officials in his line were reprimanded and suppressed.
Of course, excluding the county guard who was already emerging at that time, because he held the right thigh and continued to rise all the way up.
The old man was so angry that he resigned from his post and was said to have lived in seclusion in the countryside.
When the leader of the Xin Kingdom was suppressed by Zheng Qiao's army, he also spent a lot of effort to find the whereabouts of the old man, but to no avail until the Xin Kingdom was destroyed. The county guard thought he died in the chaos of war, but he didn't expect that this old guy was still alive and suddenly came to visit today.
It was a troubled autumn, and the county governor was worried - the owner and his children were living in poverty, so he hoped that they were here to fight the autumn wind, and he could spend his money with them. If there were other purposes, the county guard would have a headache. After all, killing a master is not a good reputation.
After some insidious remarks——
His hanging heart slowly fell to the ground.
It turned out that the old man was being hunted by unknown forces and was desperate. He didn't care, but he couldn't harm the innocent Ayan, so he was ready to find another way out and came all the way to Sibao County.
After hearing this, the county guard felt excited.
While listening, I laughed again and again.
The "unknown force" is probably not related to Zheng Qiao. Even if Zheng Qiao doesn't think of this enemy for the time being, Zheng Qiao's bad legs may not be the case - after all, the one who scolded Zheng Qiao the most was Yushitai. Sir, Yushi Zhongcheng, and the other is the outgoing head of the throne, who can be called the two loudmouth kings of the Xin Kingdom.
The censor Zhongcheng cursed people, but at least he still had a fig leaf to cover up "official business". The host directly bombarded Zheng Qiao and the head of the Xin Kingdom together indiscriminately. In front of the leader of the Xin Kingdom, he greeted Zheng Qiao with all kinds of vulgar words. Just picking a sentence can make the experienced sister blush and snicker. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were not surprised.
It even feels like it should be.
The elegance and easy-goingness of a scholar cannot be seen in him.
In his early years, this leader dared to negotiate with enemy countries on the border. During his talk, he could pick up a low table to smash the head of an envoy to bleed, and led his troops to defeat all the small countries in the northwest. Therefore, the inner court of the Lord of Xin Kingdom was filled with concubines sent from various small countries.
That Chu Ji from Chu State...
Seems like the last "trophy"?
It is said that this man contributed to the disintegration of the Three Heroes of the Chu Kingdom. He has a strong record. No wonder the county guard is so frightened - even though this old lion is already in his twilight years and his teeth are too loose to bite prey, he is the king of beasts. The residual power is still there.
Zheng Qiao didn't think of seeking revenge for the moment.
But that may not be the case with Zheng Qiao's dog-legs.
The Sheriff is naturally one of the dog legs.
However, he didn't dare to attack his own boss.
He entertained them with good food and drinks, treating the two of them as poor relatives who came to enjoy the autumn breeze. After the banquet was over, he ordered his servants to withdraw two hundred taels of gold from the warehouse and send them to the guest house. The old man opened the red silk and looked at the plate of gold ingots that was served, his eyebrows slightly raised.
