Yang Sheng originally wanted to meet Zhang Yan in his usual study room in the palace, but later he heard that Zhang Yan met Guo Yulong before entering the city, and the two briefly chatted in a roadside tea shed. Although The time was short, but the atmosphere was "harmonious". Although there was nothing substantial, it was clear that Zhang Yan had no dislike for Guo Yulong or Hua Yueguo.
So Yang Sheng decided to meet Zhang Yan in the Huawen Hall.
"Zhang Yan meets His Majesty!"
"There is no need to be polite, Mr. Zhang." Yang Sheng stood up and walked to Zhang Yan, helped Zhang Yan bow, and led Zhang Yan to his seat with a smile on his face. There was no hint of the emperor's airs.
Zhang Yan bowed and was stopped in the middle of the salute. He had to give the emperor some face. He was helping you. You can pretend to give up with a little effort, but you can't grit your teeth and insist on finishing the salute. Besides, it was originally a bow, which was the privilege of his status as a teacher in the martial arts academy. Bowing down is no better than kneeling down, as long as the meaning is fulfilled.
"I've heard Qingling talk about Mr. Qingling's talent a lot before, but now it's better to see him than hear it. I've been looking forward to meeting Mr. for a long time. Now I'm very happy, hahaha!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. Zhang Yan's vulgar methods are hard to describe as elegant. Princess Qingling is also talented and intelligent. Zhang Yan happened to be in the right position so she seems to have more skills. In fact, it is the princess's own abilities. Zhang Yan is not worthy of your Majesty's praise. "
how to say? I met Guo Yulong before, and now I met Yang Sheng. A powerful prince of the upper country and an emperor of the lower country. In terms of status alone, the two are actually almost the same. But for Zhang Yan, Yang Sheng undoubtedly made him feel more sincere. Guo Yulong was still testing him more, while Yang Sheng was simply showing goodwill and further wooing him.
"Mr. Zhang, you have come all the way here and you are tired of traveling and traveling. I should have allowed you to rest more, but time is tight. It is less than a month before the second round of competition with Hua Yueguo. This time This month is also a critical time for our Nanyuan Kingdom royal family members to rely on the bone-strengthening pill given by my husband to reach the realm. After that, the children on our side who will go to war will be decided.
And Huayue must have a back-up plan. Although they have moved out of the diplomatic post house and have not reported all the additions and deletions to the list of diplomatic missions, there have been a lot of unfamiliar faces coming in and out of them recently. They should have transferred manpower from Huayue.
To be honest, I cannot afford to lose this time. You must not lose either. What is at stake is not only face, but also the internal security of the country. Otherwise, those moths hiding in the country may take the opportunity to make a fuss, which will be very difficult for the current situation. "
There is no need to say it thoroughly. Although Zhang Yan is not in the top leadership of Nanyuan Kingdom, he is also aware of Nanyuan Kingdom's recent difficulties. Knowing that Yang Sheng's words were intended to heighten the atmosphere, he must be cautious.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Since Zhang Yan is here, he will definitely do his best. But as for Zhang Yan's certainty, he dare not say that he is 100% sure. At most, he can give it 70 to 80%."
Yang Sheng nodded, with absolute certainty that he had never thought about it. The certainty that Zhang Yanneng could promise 70 to 80% of it in front of him was much better than he expected. He had previously thought that Zhang Yan did not dare to mention the word "grasp". Now it seems that Zhang Yan's confidence far exceeds his expectations.
"Then please leave it to Mr. Zhang."
As Yang Sheng said this, he actually stood up to salute Zhang Yan. As a result, Zhang Yan's reaction was half a beat too slow, and he only had time to hold Yang Sheng halfway. I sighed in my heart: This emperor is really generous.
This meeting didn't take long to talk about business. But it was lunch time, so Yang Sheng kept Zhang Yan for lunch before letting him go. During the meal, Yang Sheng did not talk to Zhang Yan about the competition in Huayue Kingdom. Instead, he talked about his thirteenth son, Yang Rui. Just like an ordinary parent asking the teacher about his or her child's situation in school. Hearing Zhang Yan comment on Yang Rui as "talented and promising," Yang Sheng's face was filled with smiles.
Maybe Yang Sheng would think that Zhang Yan's evaluation of Yang Rui contained a lot of compliments, but in fact he didn't. He also didn't know how rare it was to have a young man with outstanding spiritual talent. This is true whether in the wilderness or on earth.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yan had no time to spare. As soon as he was arranged to stay in the post house, Princess Qingling came to visit him. The two younger ones have already run out to play.
Yuanding is Yang Rui's territory. He has long said that he will take his brother Shitou to have fun and eat delicious food. Naturally, he will not break his promise. And Wang Nian was even less polite. You should know that he was even willing to share the cider he stole from the academy cafeteria with Yang Rui. The relationship between them was no longer what it was like when they fought.
Princess Qingling still behaves as she did in the martial arts academy, conducting student etiquette in a proper manner. The first is to greet the teacher, and the second is to tell Zhang Yan the specific details of "passing the three passes" and the basic situation of the royal children from Nanyuan Kingdom who are most likely to be sent out in the end. These were things Zhang Yan had never mentioned before when he met the emperor.
It can be seen that Princess Qingling is no longer a marginal figure in the Nanyuan Kingdom royal family, but has become famous in one battle and has been entrusted with important responsibilities by Yang Sheng. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen to her?
"Teacher, are you going to use the same pieces of paper you used for me this time?" Princess Qingling asked curiously after introducing the situation.
"Haha, it's different. Your opponent last time was only in the late stage of Kaiyuan Realm, and she was completely unprepared for your methods. So you can almost win the match with a "Yellow Turban Talisman" fight.
But things are different now. Although the "Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman" will not be seen through by the people of Huayue Kingdom, the help it will give you at a critical moment is unlikely to be fooled. As long as the people of Huayue Kingdom pay more attention, they will definitely find the clues. There will also be corresponding responses.
Or use external force to offset the effect of the "Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman". Or just widen the strength gap between the two sides, making it difficult to shake them even with the help of the "Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman". I think these two responses will not be too difficult for Huayue Kingdom's foundation. "
Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman? Princess Qingling memorized the name silently. Only then did she realize that the thing she had swallowed with wine after burning the ashes was called this name. Just like the other methods Zhang Yan used, the names are very weird.
"Teacher, how should we deal with this situation?"
"You don't need to worry about it. After the list of competitions in Nanyuan Kingdom is finalized, you can take me to see them. Then I will explain the methods to them."
Talisman? This is naturally within Zhang Yan's consideration. But it won't just be limited to this aspect. For example, magic weapons, and more directly cheating in the arena to build a magic circle. It will be difficult to lose by then.
