C42 The Prize
His expression... There was a subtle change in his expression.
But in the end, he still revealed a smile.
"Prime Minister Qiu treats me quite well."
"It's me, my lord. My lord often mentions Saint Xiao, and let us young people use you as an example."
"That's a great honor... Since you are a family member of Prime Minister Qiu, I won't bother with today's matter anymore. When you have the chance, help me pass a message to Prime Minister Qiu and express my gratitude. "
"There's no need for the word 'thank'..."
"Also, there are some things that shouldn't be said, but because you are Prime Minister Qiu's family, I can't help but advise you."
"Please speak, Saint Xiao."
"As the younger generation, we can always borrow the power of our ancestors. But this isn't something we can rely on for the rest of our lives. All of these were fought with the lives of our ancestors. If we use them too recklessly... Although it was understandable, there would always be times when we would kick an iron plate and offend someone we can't offend. So, we still have to save our lives every day to cultivate our bodies and nourish our bodies, so that our moral conduct is worthy of the high position that our family has left for us. "
The corner of Qiu Qiancao's eyes twitched a few times, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
In the end, he responded with a trembling voice, "I have learned."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, " Yes, this child can be taught."
Qiu Qiancao couldn't help but ask, "What is this child?"
"Oh, he is someone who is humble and heard of. It is an excellent quality."
Qiu Qiancao was stunned for a moment and suddenly said, "Does Saint Xiao mean that I can be called a child?"
Xiao Yun was shocked because he saw Qiu Qiancao's face clearly showed excitement.
He nodded and said, "Yes, you can be called a child like that."
"Thank you, Saint Xiao!"
Xiao Yun frowned and asked, "You seemed to be a little unhappy before, why are you suddenly happy again? It's very strange. "
"This..."
Qiu Qiancao also did not know how to answer.
Leng Ningshuang, who was standing next to Xiao Yun, looked at him enviously and explained, "Young Master Xiao is now the famous Saint Xiao of Qin Country, and his words are law. Now you call him a 'child'. It is also half a evaluation, and such a reputation will accompany him for his entire life. It will be beneficial to his future career. "
"Ah?"
Xiao Yun scratched his head and smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect it to be like this. I really didn't expect this Saint Grade to have such a function."
Leng Ningshuang couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"The Qin Country hasn't produced a saint in a hundred years. You are the first Saint Grade, the closest person to becoming a saint. What you say naturally has weight, so don't speak nonsense!"
"So that's the case. Then it seems that this young master has indeed overlooked it, but at this moment, it isn't considered reckless."
Leng Ningshuang frowned and said, "Not counted?"
Xiao Yun laughed and raised his head to look at Qiu Qiancao. He said, "This child should have inherited some of Prime Minister Qiu's strengths. When his own brother was injured, the servants were reckless first. The strong man broke his wrist after that. When he faced me, he clearly wanted to kill me, but didn't want to reveal it. He was calm and sharp, and could hear every word of me clearly. Remember every word I say, no matter how you feel. He would always remember it in his heart. He would use it as nourishment to nourish his future. Therefore, this child can be taught, so he deserves the reputation of this child. "
Leng Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head and thought to herself that this kid really knew everything. He understood everything, but he just did not reveal it easily.
Qiu Qiancao was stunned on the spot. After a while, he bowed deeply. At this moment, it seemed that he was sincere.
Just as they were talking, an uninvited guest came to visit as expected.
"Heh, I was wondering who it was, and it caused a disturbance here. So it's our Young Master Xiao! Sure enough, you will bring trouble wherever you go."
Xiao Yun raised his head and saw that it was Zhao Fengxi!
The moment this great talent appeared, the surrounding people looked at him with envious eyes, especially some girls from wealthy families. They seemed to be filled with affection.
Obviously, this guy was quite popular.
Xiao Yun sighed and ignored him.
Zhao Fengxi said, "I didn't expect you to really come here. I thought you were scared and wanted to hide in your yard for a long time."
Xiao Yun raised his head and said, "Since we have an agreement, we will come as usual. Also, this matter of spring hunting is considered new and interesting to me. Naturally, I have to join in the fun."
"Since we're here, we should settle our score."
" Oh? What do you want?"
" This time in spring hunting, the royal family has already decided on a prize. The top three in the hunt will be rewarded with some royal artifacts. Let's not talk about this prize, we might as well add some more prizes. "
"How do we add it?"
"If you lose, write down a letter and apologize to my disappointing younger brother in front of everyone. In the future, if you see people from the Zhao family on the streets... You will hide in a corner like a dog and make way for them. If we lose, we will write off everything that happened in the past. Pretend that nothing has happened. What do you think?"
Xiao Yun was a little surprised and said with a smile, "It seems a little unfair. Since the bet is the bet, there should be bets of the same value on the gambling table, right? Now it seems that I put more, and you put less. As the young master of Zhao family, why was he so stingy when he did things? He had to be calculative when he was at the gambling table. It would be detrimental to his reputation... People often said that gambling was also a matter of character, and gambling was not good. A person's character naturally can't be any better."
"You!"
Zhao Fengxi flew into a rage. Just as he was about to get angry, Qiu Qiancao, who was standing next to him, stood up.
"Heh, isn't this Advisor Zhao? What an arrogant official you are!"
Zhao Fengxi turned his head as if he had just seen Qiu Qiancao. He then cupped his hands and said, "So it's Master Qiu. Why are you here too?"
"Shouldn't I be here?"
Qiu Qiancao smiled and said, "I have also heard about the trivial matters between Councilor Zhao and Saint Xiao. Now, we are using the spring hunting as a prize to resolve it. Of course, it would be great, but Councilman Zhao is going to throw out the bet like this. That's a bit too much."
Zhao Fengxi even wanted to scold someone. What did this have to do with you?
However, Qiu Qiancao's position was slightly higher than his, and he was in charge of him. If he offended him too much, it would be troublesome in the future.
It was strange.
Prime Minister Qiu was only a rank five official, but Qiu Qiancao, the third generation of the Qiu family, had a rank three official!
His rank was even higher than his great-grandfather's!
Of course, in terms of power, there was a huge difference.
Zhao Fengxi took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Then... how about this, if we lose, we will also apologize to Young Master Xiao and avoid meeting him on the way, how about it?"
Xiao Yun said indifferently, "It doesn't matter what the bet is, as long as it is fair."
Zhao Fengxi's eyes twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Then it's settled!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm.
Obviously, he wanted to make a high-five vow.
Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I don't really like touching a man's palm."
"Oh..."
Zhao Fengxi's palm froze on the spot. He was so angry that he spat out blood, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The surrounding people could not bear to watch it anymore, especially a girl who shouted from afar, "What is it? What did she say about a Saint Grade? Young Master Zhao was giving you face, but you still think Young Master Zhao's hands are dirty? Bullshit Saint Grade, in my opinion, he's just a rogue!"
The voice was sharp and clear.
This made the surrounding people laugh at him.
If it was any other ordinary person, they would probably be angered to death by this idiotic woman.
However, Xiao Yun felt that it didn't matter.
In his previous life, he had seen many brainless women like this, such as fans of some bullsh * t idol.
Many of those idols had been dealt with in the past. After all, some of them were actually kept by rich women. In the end, when they became famous and became stronger and wanted to leave, how could the rich women just let it go? If the public opinion attacked, if they could not be killed... Occasionally, there would be people in Xiao Yun's line of work who would make a move.
This kind of work was simple and had a lot of money. Xiao Yun often took on this kind of work.
When dealing with them, Xiao Yun realized that it was not those female fans who were too crazy. It was just that these bullshit idols were really beautiful, and they were very good at disguising themselves.
This also puzzled him. With such good acting skills, why couldn't he just watch what was being filmed?
Shaking his head, Xiao Yun shook his memory out of his head. Then he smiled at Zhao Fengxi and said, "Tell me the truth. Can the matter between us really be that simple?"
