Although today is different from the past, I still couldn't help but tremble when I saw this former seat owner, my mouth was dry, my heart was flustered and I was short of breath.
The distinguished guest known as the "Master" followed the governor's gaze and looked at Ayan. A warm color flashed deep in his eyes. He gently stroked 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 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 slightly.
The old man had lived with Ayan for two years, and he had more or less figured out his way of thinking, and 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.
Calling the old man "Master" was just a reminder of his past friendship. He didn't expect that this old guy would climb up the pole and get him a cheap junior brother. Speaking of "junior brother", he vaguely thought that this was called "junior brother". Ayan's children are not very smart.
At least, he is not as clever as ordinary children.
The county guard showed appropriate concern.
"Master, junior brother, is he here?"
He pointed to his brain. Is his intelligence impaired?
“Ayan is very good!”
Talking about Ayan, the old man's demeanor suddenly changed, and he could even vaguely see the fierceness and oppression of the past in his vicissitudes of brows, which made the county governor feel 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. What a good thing Afraid?
The so-called forcefulness seemed to be just his illusion. When the old man looked at Ayan, his eyes were full of infinite pity. He sighed deeply and touched Ayan's hair: "He just had a hard life. He had a brain disease since he was born, which caused The mind is very 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 brain disease can muster the courage and innate supernatural power at the age of six to cut off the legs of an adult man with a spear?
The unfortunate Si Yan was still lying in the servants' courtyard.
The old man knew what he was going to say, and said calmly: "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. In addition, 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 cultivation task ordered by the old man, he never complains and will not be lazy. He does whatever it takes. He is 100% dedicated and devoted, and the rewards are naturally gratifying.
The old man didn't like others looking at Ayan in a strange way.
Especially those who had a somewhat master-disciple relationship with him - such as the county guard. Because this only proves that his former normal student was not as good as a brain-disabled Ayan.
The county guard twitched his lips: "..."
He carefully selected the flattering words 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 better."
It's better to call it a blessing in disguise than to learn a skill but become a power dog."
Based on his understanding of this host, Ayan is probably his current traitor, 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, be able to compete with a young man who is only six years old?
, the "new student" who is well-behaved, filial, obedient and cute?
The county guard praised Ayan and congratulated his master on his new disciple. After a brief exchange of greetings, he quietly inquired about the old man's purpose.
But his little skill was not enough in the eyes of the old man. When he saw the old man's see-through eyes, the county guard 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 countries. 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 officials in his line were ordered to suppress him.
Of course, this did not include the county guard who had already made a name for himself at that time, because he held the right thigh and continued to rise through the ranks.
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 failed to find anything until the Xin Kingdom was destroyed. The county guard thought he died in the chaos of the war, but he did not expect that the old guy survived.
Damn, I suddenly came to my door today.
It was a troubled autumn, and the county governor was worried - the owner was living in poverty with his children, and he hoped that they were here to fight the autumn wind, and he could use his money to get rid of it. If there were other purposes, the county governor 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 an unknown force and had no choice. He didn't care, but he couldn't harm the innocent Ayan, so he prepared to find another way out and came to Sibao County all the way.
After hearing this, the county guard felt happy.
While listening, I kept laughing.
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.
Chief, 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, and at least he had a fig leaf to cover up "official business". The host directly tied Zheng Qiao and the head of the Xin Kingdom together and bombarded him indiscriminately. In front of the head of the Xin Kingdom, he greeted Zheng Qiao with all kinds of vulgar words, picking them off at will.
One sentence can make the battle-experienced sister blush and snicker. It is no surprise to the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
It even feels like it should be like this.
The elegance and easy-goingness of a scholar cannot be seen in him.
In the early years, this leader dared to negotiate with the enemy at the border. He talked about being able to pick up a low table and smash the enemy's head to bleed. After being annoyed, he actually led his troops to attack the small northwest country. This also led to the capital being filled with various factions.
The protons were sent, and the inner court of the Lord of Xin was filled with protons 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 State. 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 time being.
But that may not be the case with Zheng Qiao's dog-legs.
The Sheriff is naturally one of the dog legs.
However, he did not dare to attack his own boss.
He entertained them with delicious 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 it to the guest house. The old man opened the red silk and looked at what was brought to him.
A plate of gold ingots, eyebrows slightly raised.

Seat Master: It is similar to the "Tianshi" and Seat Master that Qi Shan called before, but the age is different. It is the honorific title given by students of a certain class to the examiner of that class.
PS: It lived up to expectations. I had a cold for two days. I woke up this morning with tonsillitis and a sore throat. I went to prescribe anti-inflammatory medicine before I had a fever. Otherwise, if I have a fever, I have to do a nucleic acid test |?ω?｀)
