Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C214 His Majesty's Decision



C214 His Majesty's Decision

"Seventy years, this old man learned the rules."    

    

Xiao Yun looked at the gift list and smiled. He waved his hand and pushed them in front of Qing'er. He continued, "Write down the names and gifts inside."    

    

"Huh?!"    

    

Qing'er looked down at the list and said with a bitter face, "This... I better get up and practice martial arts tomorrow morning."    

    

After thinking for a while, she added, "Double it!"    

    

"That's fine."    

    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes.    

    

He knew that he still lacked someone who could support his family business.    

    

However, he was not in a hurry.    

    

As an assassin, he had patience.    

    

In fact, excellent killers were all like that, including those born killers in nature. For a prey, he endured the hunger in his stomach and laid in a natural bunker. They didn't move, only waiting for a chance to kill the enemy.    

    

Lying down, closing his eyes, and taking a deep breath.    

    

He wanted to wake his head up a little and sort out the mess that had happened recently. Then, deduce in sequence, from the beginning to now, and then to the future... Which step had he taken the wrong one, which step had been a little rushed... How he would make up for it in the future, and how he would continue...    

    

All of this could not be wrong at all.    

    

It was like playing chess.    

    

The biggest difference between reality and playing chess was that playing chess often had a lot of time for you to think, but reality often came out of nowhere and did not give you a chance to react.    

    

Therefore, one had to be more careful and think further.    

    

In the end, he fell asleep.    

    

When he woke up again, it was already noon of the second day.    

    

Xiao Yun turned his head and looked at the sky. Then, he blinked his eyes and curled his lips. It seemed like this half a day's time had been wasted.    

    

He did not give himself a break. He went out of the room and trained step by step.    

    

In a flash, he had been in this world for almost a year.    

    

It had been winter since spring.    

    

In the winter of Great Qin's capital city, it was dry and cold, and the morning wind was bone-piercing.    

    

There was less fog, and more arrogance.    

    

After some training, he let out a long breath as he withdrew his momentum. The white fog shot out like a sharp arrow towards the ground, scattering the two small rocks that were snuggling against each other.    

    

This breath was extremely long, as if it would never stop.    

    

Then, he took a deep breath. His chest bulged, as if he had gained two circles of weight. Then, with a Ha! sound, he shook out a white wave, adjusted his body, and went up and down naturally.    

    

After he soaked in the medicine, he ate breakfast that should be for lunch. Xiao Yun went to Xiao Huai'en's room.    

    

"What is it? Did something good happen?"    

    

Xiao Huai'en put down his teacup and looked at Xiao Yun. This was the only thing that came out of his mouth.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Did it happen?"    

    

"You can't hide that smile on your face."    

    

Xiao Yun touched his cheek and said with a smile, "It feels good to see people happy."    

    

“ Oh. "    

    

Seeing that Xiao Yun didn't want to talk about it in detail, Xiao Huai'en didn't ask.    

    

Actually, this really wasn't something that could be said to outsiders.    

    

After such a long period of training, he had finally made progress!    

    

He had refined this originally weak body.    

    

Needless to say, the muscles and bones were the key to his internal organs.    

    

In the past, Xiao Yun had been stained with alcohol for many years, and his internal organs had long been ruined. In his previous life, it was a substandard health.    

    

As for the internal organs, they were not untreatable. Humans' cells were very strong, and their regenerative abilities were actually quite strong. As long as they trained in the correct way, they could slowly improve.    

    

Even... brain damage could be done!    

    

This kind of change would happen at any moment, but it was a long process.    

    

Today, it was a point of qualitative change.    

    

From today onwards, the once greatest assassin in the world had finally returned!    

    

The current Xiao Yun was confident that even if it was a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, he could still make seven rounds and kill him seven times in a row.    

    

Xiao Yun slowly walked over and sat down. He casually picked up the teacup that was prepared for him on the table and poured it into his mouth.    

    

Speaking of which, it was also magical. That teacup was just an ordinary teacup. However, the tea turned into a line of water and there was no fluctuation in the middle. It drew a curve in the air and landed perfectly in Xiao Yun's throat. There was no pause in the middle. It went straight into his stomach.    

    

Xiao Huai'en was amazed by it, but at the same time, he couldn't help but say, "This is not a peony. It swallowed before it tasted anything. What a waste, you brat, drinking white water is the most appropriate!"    

    

"How can that be?"    

    

Xiao Yun put down the teacup and laughed. "Tea is weak and alkali. I ate a lot in the morning and my stomach acid is too strong. I can use it to wash it. It can also slightly dissolve the grease."    

    

"What?"    

    

In one sentence, there were many words that Xiao Huai'en had never heard of. He frowned and hurriedly asked.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just something from an ancient book. It's not worth mentioning."    

    

"Hey, if you have time, you should think about the current situation. Don't read those idle books."    

    

"Leisure books? Alright."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Then grandpa, what do you think about the current situation?"    

    

" The gold note you made looks really powerful now, but this power is a bit too big. Our family is not some top power, if we make it like this... I'm afraid that there will be people who will be jealous."    

    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Jealous? This really wasn't necessarily the case. Even if they were blushing, there was actually nothing they could do. How could they understand money? Not to mention that I won't let go, even if I let go completely... What can they do? No matter how good a thing is in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it, it's still a weapon that can hurt oneself. "    

    

" A weapon? "    

    

"[That's right. All things are swords and sabers. Even if you hurt others, you can also hurt yourself.]"    

    

There were indeed many people who were jealous of money.    

    

Everyone wanted to put the money in their own hands.    

    

Especially those big families.    

    

Because of this matter, everyone had already forgotten about Zhao Wuji.    

    

But this kind of thing was not something that could be forgotten.    

    

It was going to happen eventually.    

    

There would be a court assembly in the early winter.    

    

This was because after the autumn harvest, all the transactions in Great Qin Country had mostly been completed. There was a long winter ahead of them that they needed to think of a way to pass.    

    

The civil and military officials had to do their jobs and perform their duties, so that Great Qin Country could smoothly live the best and hardest year of the year.    

    

Therefore, this court assembly was very important.    

    

It was rare for His Majesty to wear the few things that belonged to the Emperor today. It could be said that he was dressed up and attending.    

    

He looked down.    

    

He found that the person he wanted to see was not there.    

    

"Where is Imperial Tutor Zhao?"    

    

The eunuch quickly said, "I heard that he took a leave. Imperial Tutor Zhao is ill and cannot attend the court."    

    

“ Oh?" His Majesty said, "Imperial Tutor Zhao has never missed the court assembly. It seems like time really does not forgive people. Even if it was him, he would not be able to endure the Lunar New Year."    

    

All of the officials were shocked.    

    

What did this mean?    

    

If the Emperor said that an official was old, wouldn't he be suing the elders?    

    

Although everyone had always had such a guess, now that it really happened, everyone still didn't dare to believe it.    

    

Imperial Tutor Zhao, the person with the highest status in the Imperial Court, was really going to lose his power?    

    

Suddenly? That was not the case. After all, there was a warning.    

    

But everyone just couldn't accept it for a moment.    

    

So each and every one of them were silent like cicadas in winter, waiting for His Majesty to say something to inform the elders.    

    

If they did not say so, it could be said that Imperial Tutor Zhao had made two major mistakes in his decision making two times in a row due to the huge ruckus caused by the New Coin. As the Grand Preceptor of a country, this was absolutely not something that should be done.    

    

If it were any other time, he could have thrown the blame on them, but at that time, he had taken the initiative to take the blame on himself.    

    

On the one hand, he thought that he was too confident. On the other hand, the first plan he had come up with was his own. In order to make up for the previous plan, he had repeatedly made mistakes.    

    

However, just as all of the officials were waiting for Imperial Tutor Zhao to be judged, the emperor let out a long sigh and said, "Fine, let him rest for a while. When he recovers one day, he will go to court."    

    

"Eh?"    

    

Some officials even cried out in surprise and blurted out their doubts.    

    

When those few fellows saw that the people around them were looking over, they hurriedly covered their mouths and did not dare to speak anymore.    

    

His Majesty's decision really made them extremely shocked.    

    

This was not only light, it even gave people the feeling that His Majesty wanted to protect Imperial Tutor Zhao.    

    

This made some of the people who were prepared to impeach Imperial Tutor Zhao quickly change the contents of the jade slip in their hands.
