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 tea shed on the roadside. 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 Chinese 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 to bow, and led Zhang Yan to his seat with a smile on his face. There was no trace of the emperor's airs at all.
Zhang Yan bowed and was stopped in the middle of the salute. You have to give the emperor some face. They are 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 bowing ceremony, which was the privilege of his status as a martial arts teacher. The bowing ceremony was not as good as the kneeling ceremony, as long as the meaning was fulfilled.
"I have heard Qingling talk about Mr. Qingling's great talent many times before, but now it is even better to see him. I have also been looking forward to meeting Mr. for a long time. Now I am very happy, hahaha!"
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. Zhang Yan's vulgar methods are hard to be compared to elegance. 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 ability. Zhang Yan is not worthy of your Majesty's praise.
"
How should I put it? 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, the two are actually almost the same. But to Zhang Yan's feeling, Yang Sheng is undoubtedly
It 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 traveled thousands of miles to come here and you are tired. 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, our children who will go to war will be decided.
And Huayue must have a back-up plan. Although they moved out of the diplomatic post house and did not report all the increases and decreases in the list of diplomatic missions, they have seen a lot of faces coming in and out recently. They should be from again.
Huayue transferred manpower over.
To be honest, I can't afford to lose this time. I must not lose. It's not just about face, it's also about the country's internal security. Otherwise, those worms hiding in the country will take the opportunity to make a fuss, so right
The current situation is very difficult.”
Needless to say, Zhang Yan is not in the top leadership of Nanyuan Kingdom, but he is also familiar with Nanyuan Kingdom's recent difficulties. Knowing that Yang Sheng's words are heightening the atmosphere, he must also be cautious.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Since Zhang Yan is here, he will definitely do his best. But as for Zhang Yan, he dare not say that he is 100% sure. At most, he can give it 70 to 80%."
Yang Sheng nodded. He had never thought of absolute certainty. Zhang Yan could promise 70% to 80% certainty in front of him, which was much better than he expected. He thought Zhang Yan did not dare to mention the word "certainty" before.
. Now it seems that Zhang Yan's confidence far exceeds his expectations.
"Then please leave it to Mr. Zhang."
Yang Sheng said and 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 support Yang Sheng half way. He sighed in his heart: This emperor is really generous.
The meeting did not take long to talk about business. But it happened to be dinner 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 child's situation in school. Hearing Zhang Yan comment on Yang Rui as "gifted and promising"
, Yang Sheng’s face was full of smiles.
Maybe Yang Sheng would think that Zhang Yan included a lot of compliments in his evaluation of Yang Rui, but in fact he didn't. He also didn't know how rare it is to have a seedling with outstanding spiritual talent. This is true whether in the wilderness or in the wild world.
The earth is like this.
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. The two younger ones had 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 is even less polite. You must know that he even stole the college canteen.
They are willing to share the fruit wine with Yang Rui, and their relationship is no longer what it was like when they first fought.
Princess Qingling still behaved as she did in the Jiangwu Academy, practicing student etiquette in a neat manner. Firstly, she greeted the teacher, and secondly, she told Zhang Yan the specific details of "passing the three passes" and the Nanyuan Kingdom.
The basic situation of the royal family members who are most likely to be sent out here. These are things that Zhang Yan had never mentioned before when he met with the emperor.
It can be seen that Princess Qingling is no longer a marginal figure in the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom. Instead, she has become famous in one battle and has been entrusted with important tasks by Yang Sheng. Otherwise, how could it be her turn to do such a thing?
"Teacher, are you going to use the same paper pieces 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 the situation is different now. Although the "Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman" will not be seen through by people in Huayue Kingdom, the help it gives you at critical moments is unlikely to be fooled. But people in Huayue Kingdom should pay more attention.
You can definitely find clues at one point, and there will be corresponding responses.
Either use external force to offset the effect of the "Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman". Or just directly 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
It won’t be too difficult for Huayue Kingdom’s foundation.”
The Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman? Princess Qingling memorized the name silently. Only then did she realize that the thing she swallowed with wine after burning the ashes was called this name. Just like other methods Zhang Yan used, the names were very special.
of weirdness.
"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. I will explain the methods to them at that time."
Talisman? This is naturally within Zhang Yan's consideration. But it will not be limited to this aspect. For example, magic weapons, or more directly cheating in the ring and setting up a magic circle. Then he will lose even if he wants to.
