Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

The three of them began to eat and drink again.    

Xiao Huai'en couldn't help but ask again, "Eating so greasy in the morning, is it really good?"    

Xiao Yun quietly wiped his mouth and said, "There's no difference whether it's good or bad. It's just a habit. We humans struggle to survive in nature the earliest. The reason why we can rise up among so many species and stand at the top of this world. It's because we ate everything!"    

Saying this, he smiled and continued: "We can eat grass, we can eat meat, we can eat meat, we can eat grass, we can eat meat, we can eat meat, we can eat meat, we can eat meat, we can eat meat, we can eat meat... More importantly, we can eat some rotten things... In reality, only rotten things are easier for us to absorb. If we eat raw, only a few types of meat can be digested by us. And the process of cooking is actually also a decaying process... After the high temperature, the food has changed. It won't be a waste if it enters our stomachs. And meat is the best, and it is also the healthiest for the body. This food, food, and so on, is just a different way to fill our stomachs."    

" Is that really the case? "    

"The so-called poor, rich, and martial arts have existed since ancient times. The difference between them is that people who practice martial arts must eat meat! Poor families can't see meat and meat a few times a year, so how can they have the strength to practice martial arts? "    

"That makes sense..."    

"If it is a poor person who only wants to fill his stomach, it is still possible to eat these things every morning. But our Xiao family isn't poor, right? Even if it's meat for every meal, it should be enough. So, there's no need to torture me like this, right? As a person, one could be thrifty when it was time to be thrifty, but when it was time to be extravagant, one also needed to be extravagant. Otherwise, how can you have the motivation to work and earn money?"    

"Can't you do it for some sort of ambition?"    

The two of them changed the topic from eating to discussing life!    

Naturally, from a short family to a successful career.    

Xiao Yun blinked and thought for a while, then said, "If possible, living an ordinary life is better than anything. Unfortunately, I was born in such a family, although it is not as cruel as the royal family. If I don't advance, I will retreat. But once I retreat... A thousand kilogram boulder will immediately smash onto our heads, pressing us to the bottom of the well. Even if we want to live the life of an ordinary person, we will never be able to turn over. That's impossible. "    

Xiao Huai'en sighed and said, "This is how it is when we are born in a noble family."    

"When a person walks in the world, it's like sailing against the current. If one does not advance, one will retreat."    

Xiao Yun helplessly spread his hands and said, "After all, I also have things that I want to know. If I want to know these things, I'm afraid I have to climb up very high."    

"It is not bad that you have this kind of awareness... but you just said something wonderful."    

"What?"    

"[Travelling against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.]"    

"Grandfather, have you never heard of it?"    

"Never heard of it."    

"Oh, I heard it by chance too."    

Xiao Yun really did not have the face to stick these things all over his body.    

Xiao Huai'en's eyes lit up and immediately asked, "Did you date that person?"    

"Oh, not really."    

"Ah, it seems like I missed out on... that person is a talent."    

Xiao Yun awkwardly touched his nose and changed the topic. "I felt that there was a change in my family during the month I was in seclusion."    

Xiao Huai'en smiled and said, "It is more than just my family. On the day you were in seclusion, something big happened in the capital. Do you know what happened?"    

Xiao Yun shook his head. "I went into seclusion. Naturally, I had to shut my eyes and listen. I didn't care about what happened outside."    

"You don't care about yourself?"    

Xiao Huai'en's expression was teasing.    

Xiao Yun thought for a while and asked, "Is it about the evaluation?"    

Xiao Huai'en nodded heavily and said, "It seems you were prepared for it, but I still don't understand why Prime Minister Qiu would speak for you..."    

As he spoke, Xiao Huai'en told him everything that happened in the Imperial Court that day.    

In fact, Xiao Huai'en had been holding it in for a long time.    

This question was like a seed planted in his heart. It bloomed and made his heart itch, making him feel very uncomfortable.    

After the court session, he returned home and immediately wanted to ask Xiao Yun.    

However, he received news that he was closed in and did not leave the house.    

What was even more excessive was that he originally wanted to barge in, but was chased out by Shangguan Qing'er!    

As the head of the family, the Northern Demon King, a ruthless character whose name shook the world, he was chased away by his servants in his own house? !    

No one would dare to believe it even if it was told!    

But this had happened.    

And Xiao Huai'en didn't even know what he was thinking at that time. He actually endured it.    

After that... After that, he waited for a long time. It took him a month to wait for him to come out. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to uphold the dignity of the family head, he would have asked at the first possible moment.    

When Xiao Yun heard about the matters in the Imperial Court, he frowned deeply and asked, "Didn't Leng Xiaohan speak for me?"    

"General Leng? He took a leave of absence that day and did not participate in the assembly... Hmm? Why would General Leng plead on your behalf?"    

Xiao Huai'en was halfway through his reply when he suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked.    

Xiao Yun, however, did not care and said, "He owes me a favor."    

"General Leng, Leng Xiaohan owes you a favor? "    

"Let's not talk about this..." Xiao Yun rubbed his forehead in pain and asked, "In other words, I got a Saint Grade? !”    

"A Saint Grade, the only Saint Grade in a hundred years."    

Even though Xiao Huai'en was suppressing his emotions, he couldn't help but feel proud.    

However, Xiao Yun couldn't feel happy about it.    

He asked again, "Is it that person who can't even be an official and has to save himself every day, always caring about his behavior and behavior. Not only will he not get any benefits, but he will also offend all the scholars in the world... Saint Grade? !”    

Xiao Huai'en was stunned for a moment. He also rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "That's right."    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered, "This Prime Minister Lee, I really can't see through him..."    

He felt that he had definitely been tricked by Prime Minister Lee.    

Others might not understand Prime Minister Lee's actions, but he understood!    

This fellow was very sinister!    

On the one hand, he recognized his own talent, but on the other hand, he also understood his own danger. Thus, he decided to take the root of the problem and give it a good reward, but secretly cut off his future path.    

The key point was that if he did so, he would instead gain a good reputation. The historical officials would not say anything bad about him, and instead, all the trouble would be left to him.    

It could be considered... What a good method!    

There was a lot of talk between grandfather and grandson, and it was only at the end that they started to talk about the relationship between the two of them.    

"Grandfather, I keep feeling that you were ignoring me before. You must know that the big house was not doing anything to me as well. However, you've never bothered about it. This is something that has always puzzled me. Is it... related to my parents' matter?"    

Xiao Huai'en's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Did you think of it?"    

"I have a feeling."    

"Xiao Huai'en sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if it is related or not. Maybe it is. Maybe not. He should not have told you these things, but... Forget it. Actually, it was grandfather's fault. If I had known to keep a low profile in my early years, there wouldn't have been so many things happening, right? "    

Xiao Yun frowned.    

"Do you want to hear the story of grandpa?"    

"I don't really want to hear it. I just want to know what's going on."    

Xiao Yun said straightforwardly.    

Xiao Huai'en blinked awkwardly, but pretended not to hear him. He let out a long sigh and started to talk.    

Xiao Huai'en was originally a border guard, so he spent most of the year at the border.    

He could also be considered a general who had gone through hundreds of battles.    

Especially after a few battles, he had obtained the title of Devil King in Mobei. His methods were naturally vicious.    

At that time, he was young and hot-blooded. Facing Mobei's chaotic situation and years of war, he had thought of a way to get things done once and for all.    

It was to support one of the countries and use it to keep the other Northern Lands in check.    

Support was merely to make the other side's king lose control. Xiao Huai'en, on the other hand, was like an emperor, able to give orders to the entire Mobei region.    

In reality, his actions were effective.    

For a total of thirteen years, there was no great war in Northern Desert.    

This was the credit of his actions. It could be considered a great fortune.    

But following that... his most outstanding son and daughter-in-law died on the battlefield. That war came in a strange way, and it even seemed to be a trap!    

His son died, but he was recalled back to the capital in the same year. Although his official position did not change, he was exempted from military power.    

It made the Devil King of Mobei completely history.    

At the same time, the Zhao family sent someone to matchmake, asking the eldest son of the Xiao family to divorce his wife and marry a girl of the Zhao family.    

Initially, Xiao Huai'en didn't agree with this matter, but Imperial Tutor Zhao had put pressure on him in the Imperial Court.    

The most subtle part was the attitude of the king. He actually tacitly agreed to this matter!    

Thus, Xiao Huai'en could only agree to this marriage because he was disheartened.    

Only then did there be a later operation.    

Including passing Xiao Yun over to the big house.    

At this point, Xiao Huai'en did not continue speaking.    

Everything was just a guess. No one could tell what the truth was, and no one could say for sure.    

If one's guess couldn't be verified, then even guessing was a crime.    

If a guess could not get an answer, then a guess itself was stupid.    

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes. He used his finger to tap on the water, wrote and drew on the table, and waited for it to dry naturally.    

Then he smiled and said, "Looks like I can only climb up bit by bit. Now that I don't have the chance to pass the evaluation, it looks like I have to think of another way."    

Xiao Huai'en sighed and said, "I'm already a First Grade Saint Grade. There's no hope of becoming an official anymore. What other ways can I think of? And when you heard this news, your reaction was different from what I thought. "    

" Oh? Why is it different?"    

"You seem to be... very calm and even a little happy."    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly, touched his cheek and said, "Can you tell?"    

Xiao Huai'en nodded, but his face was still full of doubt.    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "It is actually just a bad idea to become an official through evaluation. After all, you are now in the Imperial Court. You are more like a mascot, with no real power. Everything is nonsense! If I do not have any achievements, I will only be an official based on my evaluation. I will also be forced by Imperial Tutor Zhao's faction because I have no foundation. They have plenty of ways to torture me. Therefore, this path is actually a very difficult one. Previously, I wanted to walk this path. It was because they couldn't find any other path in a short period of time, so they were very conflicted. It was like a chicken bone, a waste of food that was tasteless and abandoned, causing me to be unable to make a choice for a moment. But now, it's easier, easier, and more convenient. Someone else made the decision for me, so I felt relaxed. Naturally, I'm delighted. "    

"So that's how it is. You've thought it through, but the credit... How could it be so easy?"    

After saying that, Xiao Huai'en suddenly said, "Right, tomorrow is the day of spring hunting. I'm afraid all the disciples of the families in the city will be going. You don't have to go this time."    

" Why? "    

"The wind is sharp, of course it's eye-catching."    

Xiao Yun said with a smile, "There's no need for Saint Grade's limelight. I've already made an appointment with the people of Zhao family to go to the spring hunting. No matter what, I have to go, even if I want to hide. I'm afraid that the news of me going to the ___ has already spread across the streets, right?"    

Xiao Huai'en sighed and nodded.    

Xiao Yun said, "That disciple of the Zhao family is afraid that I won't go. He will definitely spread the news everywhere. As long as I don't go, I will surely leave behind a cowardly reputation. This is not worthy of me, a Saint Grade."    

"He really wants to go? Then..."    

Xiao Huai'en thought for a moment and said, "I have a guard by my side. He also followed me to war in the north and south. Even if he is a lucky general, let him be your servant and follow you. If you encounter any danger, I can always help you defend against it. "    

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yun shook his head and smiled. "I only have Qing'er by my side. She has also practiced martial arts."    

"This..."    

Xiao Huai'en did not expect him to reject her.    

To be honest, this subordinate of his felt a little heartache when he gave it away. In the end, the other party did not appreciate it and did not want it!    

It was just that his hot face was stuck to his cold butt. No matter what, he did not feel good about it.    

After they finished chatting, Xiao Yun stood up. He didn't even say anything and just turned around to leave.    

Xiao Huai'en immediately questioned, "You just came out. What are you doing now?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "What just came out? He said it as if your grandson was in prison. He had been staying at home for so many days, so he had to go out and take a look. He also had to prepare some things."    

"Prepare what?"    

Xiao Yun just smiled and did not answer. He left the place and walked towards the street.    

It made Xiao Huai'en sigh. He had a feeling that Sun Da would not be able to stay. It was quite depressing.
