When he left Zhang Yan's house, Wu Kuidu was still in a state of disbelief. The "difficulties" and "trouble" he thought he had when discussing with the emperor in the emperor's study did not appear at all. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
Regarding the other four Dead Silence Roads in Nanyuan Kingdom, Zhang Yan simply agreed and would help block them. Although he did not say that all four would be blocked, he directly agreed to three. This was already better than Wu Kui's before.
The most optimistic situation was even better. He originally thought that it would be good if Zhang Yan could agree to seal two more Dead Silence Roads.
Even such an optimistic result did not make Zhang Yan do anything to open his mouth. His only request is that if there is a chance in the future, he can choose a suitable mountain and forest land as the official place to start the mountain. I will leave it here for now, and the rest
Not a single request was made.
Although it is impossible for the Nanyuan Kingdom to really not reward anything, on the contrary, it will actively give something, but compared to Zhang Yan asking for it, it can already control the width of the reward.
But why is this?
Why does Zhang Yan behave so cooperatively and without any desire?
Of course, it doesn't mean that all of Wu Kui's ideas today were approved by Zhang Yan. What went smoothly was that regarding the Dead Silence Road, Zhang Yan agreed to seal three of the remaining four places. But there was nothing smooth about the Skylark Shuttle.
He asked, but Zhang Yan immediately rejected him as soon as he opened his mouth. It was said that there was only one flying artifact like the Skylark Shuttle, and Zhang Yan had no way to refine it for the time being.
For the time being? It does leave some hope for Wu Kui.
"Is Zhang Yan always like this?" Wu Kui couldn't understand. Shen Wujiu was the person who got along with Zhang Yan the most, so he couldn't help but ask.
"What do you mean by steward?"
"Are you always so easy to talk to?"
Shen Wujiu thought carefully about the scenes since he got acquainted with Zhang Yan, then nodded and said: "Mr. Zhang has always been like this. He is a kind person and is willing to help with anything."
But Wu Kui nodded and shook his head.
Wu Kui didn't think Shen Wujiu's words were false. Not only Shen Wujiu, Wu Kui also deliberately learned about Zhang Yan from the words of many people. For example, Zhou Cang, Shi Xuan, Xiao Shu, and Princess Qingling.
These people have been in contact with Zhang Yan much more than Shen Wujiu, and they have come to similar conclusions as Shen Wujiu, saying that Zhang Yan is a kinder and easy-to-talk person.
Even if Zhang Yan had not killed two people at the auction in order to auction a large weapon, Zhang Yan would have appeared gentler to these people's senses, without any burrs at all.
But Wu Kui doesn't think these views about Zhang Yan are accurate.
Is Zhang Yan a kind person? Obviously not entirely. A kind person would directly kill two strangers who had no direct grudges against him? And also create a bloody scene that is obviously meant to shock? And Langyuan City
Although there is no evidence of the death of the former city guard Wu Yuan and his only son Wu Qingling, it is very likely that Zhang Yan secretly murdered them. However, Wu Yuan himself was not clean and he was a saint of the Spirit Clan, so this last incident
It was suppressed.
This reminded Wu Kui that most of the eunuchs in the palace, including himself, were actually similar to Zhang Yan's kindness. They all looked kind.
As for being easy to talk to, this needs to be thought of separately.
Wu Kui had already thought about Zhang Yan in this regard when the Huayue Kingdom refused to admit his debt and married a princess far away. At that time, the Huayue Kingdom came up with a "Three Levels" backhand to trick Nanyuan, and the emperor invited Zhang Yan to help.
Boxing, and what Zhang Yan asked for at that time was just the sole right to purchase some longevity stones.
In Wu Kui's opinion, this is nothing! Compared with Zhang Yan's contribution to helping Nanyuan Kingdom, it is too insignificant, right? Buy it? Those longevity stones were directly put into Zhang Yan's pocket.
It's almost a great reward.
In the end, although the emperor did not add any other rewards to Zhang Yan, he also gave some compensation in other ways. For example, the Zhang family's wood shop will only be run by the Zhang family in the Nanyuan Kingdom from now on, and no one else, no matter who it is, will be allowed to do so.
Getting his hands on it can be regarded as the emperor's tacit approval of the Zhang family's exclusive business.
After that, apart from anything else, they just said that Zhang Yan had helped block the Dead Silence Road in Beijiang County without asking for anything. His help was almost in vain.
This time Wu Kui was prepared to bleed a lot, but he found that Zhang Yan just said "a suitable place to start a mountain". This... doesn't it mean that he is preparing to help in vain?
A person may be really kind by nature, but it is absolutely impossible for him to do everything without asking for anything in return and to work in vain.
If you really want to help others, why are Zhang Yan’s big weapons getting more and more expensive? Why don’t they sell them at a reasonable price? Or even sell them off?
It can only be said that maybe what Zhang Yan values is not what others understand or care about. Just like the longevity stone. To ordinary people, it is just some stones that can be used to decorate jewelry. They are valuable goods, but there is no need.
A large amount of hoarding. And Zhang Yan did this. Naturally, it was not because he was hot-headed, but because he had a reason for doing so. Including the emperor, he also hoarded some longevity stones. But except Zhang Yan, who knew that?
Are there other uses for the gadget?
Wu Kui was even thinking that what Zhang Yan wanted was not money or power. He seemed to be planning for strength all the way. Could it be inferred that Zhang Yan's benefits, including the longevity stone, were actually all
Is it increasing his strength?
Including this time?
Wu Kui did not express his inner guess. The reply he got from Zhang Yan must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible. And he will continue to stay in Langyuan City, and later he will join Zhang Yan to witness with his own eyes what Zhang Yan is.
How to block the path of death and silence.
Wu Kui left in a hurry, and Zhang Yan returned to the weapon refining room in his small courtyard and began to formally start refining a pair of leg-shaped limbs for his eldest brother Zhang Shun.
Zhang Yan already knew the size of the limbs. There was no need to configure so many combat attributes like He Xianghong's arm. One is flexible and the other is sensitive to touch, so it won't be awkward to use. These three points are enough.
Zhang Shun's normal needs. In terms of difficulty, except for the "touch" aspect, other aspects are even much easier than He Xianghong's arm.
So much so that when he was refining a pair of limbs for Zhang Shun, he was able to think about today's conversation with Wu Kui in his mind.
To be honest, Zhang Yan doesn’t really have much thoughts about Nanyuan Kingdom right now. Everything about the Taoist sect in the entire Huangtian Domain is unknown, and Zhang Yan can easily obtain a large amount of cultivation resources. Not to mention himself
You can also rely on the unlimited growth of merit and spiritual energy to practice, and the Fangtiandi of the Desolate Heaven Realm helps you realize enlightenment and cheat. Even Wang Nian and other three little ones have more resources for future practice.
From this aspect, Zhang Yan can really be said to have "no desires and no demands" for Nanyuan Kingdom.
However, Zhang Yan's willingness to help block the Death Path for free does not mean that there is no benefit at all. It is just that the benefits he gained are just like Wu Kui thought, but others would not think of it when they saw it.
