The old people were trembling with fear and extremely ashamed.
He suddenly stood up and bowed to Fang Yan, but when he was about to bow down, he was caught by the other party's stretched out hand.
Fang Yan was puzzled: "What are you doing?"
The old man was flushed with shame, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Fang Yan: "I am so humble that I misunderstood your intention. I am so ashamed."
With the abilities of the three Fang Yan brothers, if they didn't have those scruples that made them willing to tie their own hands and feet, it would not be difficult to get ahead at all! For the three of them, being a high-ranking official and receiving a good salary is not a matter of digging into their pockets, but at least they don't have to make the mistake of starting as a soldier.
Fang Yan thought for a moment and knew what the other party had misunderstood.
"Be careful what you say!" With a gentle look and a bit of caution, he patiently mentioned something about his old subordinates, "I am still white now. As an important member of the Kangguo army, how can you claim to be a 'humble position' for me? If it reaches the ears of interested people, It can easily lead to unnecessary suspicion and suspicion. As for misunderstandings, if I were you, I would think so too. This is human nature, and you don’t need to blame yourself for this."
The old department felt even deeper self-blame.
I didn’t expect Fang Yan to think about himself so much.
"Humble—" He stopped himself from blurting out his self-proclaimed words, lowered his voice, and leaned into Fang Yan's ear and said, "I have done some business with a few close friends over the years. Mr. Fang and General Chao might as well come to my place. Is it easy to take care of it?"
First of all, he sincerely wanted to repay the favor;
Secondly, Fang Yan and the others will come forward sooner or later, so it would be a favor for him to sell well while the three of them have not yet gained momentum;
Thirdly, I also have some unspeakable selfishness.
As we all know, doctors have had a unique training system since Dong Dao began, and Fang Yan has superb medical skills, especially good at women and children's diseases. Coupled with what he just said, it is very likely that the other party will become a doctor. Xinglin doctor!
How precious is the Xinglin doctor?
The entire Kang country cannot make up three digits.
He has experienced the abilities of Doctor Xinglin at close range, especially his ability to regenerate severed limbs. It is a magical skill!
At present, only Dr. Xinglin from the Medical Department has mastered the essence.
Few of them can go out with the army.
those assigned to one’s own camp…
It’s hard to say.
It would be a great thing if Fang Yan could come!
Apart from anything else, the fact that injured soldiers have a higher chance of saving their lives is worthy of his efforts, not to mention the priority recovery benefits for soldiers who become disabled. Obtaining a Xinglin healer is equivalent to getting a reassuring trump card.
This is just Fang Yan, there are also Chao Lian and Shao Chong.
They are both fierce generals who can kill everyone in the enemy camp!
How much military merit can you earn by going to the Northern Desert battlefield?
Of course, he has no intention of embezzling the military achievements of the three men, but if he can benefit from it and make his future more brilliant, why not do it? It's a win-win!
However, Fang Yan did not agree.
He did not want to use the connections between the government and the old ministry just to avoid suspicion and not cause trouble for them. If you are being taken care of by the other person, what is the point of doing this? I had to politely refuse.
“I appreciate your kindness.”
Seeing this, the old subordinates could no longer press hard and said, "If you find me useful in the future, I will be obliged to do so!"
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are enough.
Fang Yan drank a few cups with him, which was regarded as practicing for him.
Before leaving, I uneasily asked a few words to be careful in my words and deeds, and the old department responded to them one by one. When he was about to send off his old subordinates, Chao Lian looked at the leftovers that had not yet been cleaned up and suddenly sighed: "The world always says, 'When people leave, the tea will cool down.' But I don't think that's always the case. There are always benevolent people who are willing to remember my elder brother." good."
If the eldest brother could see it, he would be very pleased.
Fang Yandao: "Things are different and people are different."
This is the biggest feeling he has had while reminiscing with old friends. From the current situation to people, a lot can change in five years.
He also understands that people must always move forward.
For example, they, such as myself.
Fang Yan and others were preparing to take advantage of the battle in the Northern Desert to go out. They did not forget their old acquaintances in various plans and sent people to the Lin Mansion to inquire.
They have known Fourth Uncle Lin for many years.
It would be great if the other party can also join.
Since Fang Yan and the other three have settled in the Duke's Mansion, Lin's fourth uncle, Lin Chao, has also been taken back to the Lin Mansion by Lin Feng. These days, he has been accompanying the old man of the Lin family to fulfill his filial piety. When Fang Yan's news was sent, the old man of the Lin family happened to mention it to his grandson.
Grandpa and grandson are playing chess in the courtyard.
These days, Lin Tiao finally understood that the person in charge of the family now is really his niece Lin Feng. She is so busy all day long that no one is seen, and her aura is even stronger than that of her elder brother.
Lin's elderly people who stayed in her ancestral home were all taken back and supported by her.
A few old brothers get together to enjoy their retirement.
Every day, I would either play with the birds for a walk, or sit down and reminisce about the past, while listening to Mr. Lin boasting about his great-granddaughter Lin Feng.
Now the audience adds another Lin Chao.
Old Mrs. Lin has indeed been curious about Lin Tiao for a while. A lost grandson is always special, but the grandfather and grandson look down every day, and as time goes by, they begin to feel that each other is an eyesore.
The grandson is in his prime, but he does not do his job every day and lives in his niece's house. What is the difference between this and relying on his niece to support him in old age? Even Lin Feng's upright biological father didn't receive this kind of treatment.
He wanted to know when his grandson would go out to find a job.
Lin Chao: “…”
Although he has not dealt with many people over the years, the quality is high, especially among them there is an old man named Jimo Yu. After getting along with him for a long time, Lin Tiao's ability to observe people's emotions has not retreated but made progress: "My grandson does have the idea of making a career. , I just arrived here for the first time, and I am not familiar with the whole country of Kang, and I don’t know how to recruit scholars here. If you follow the path of Lingde, you will inevitably be criticized."
He doesn’t have the shame to bite his niece.
Lin Chao’s current idea is to find a job in a small place, work seriously for a few years, and then achieve self-reliance first.
"It's good that you think so." Old Mrs. Lin nodded with relief, "Lingde has had a hard time walking through these years. I don't know how many people are watching her current position and trying to pull her down. You, as an uncle, can't help her. We can’t hold her back.”
Lin Feng is much more promising than Sun Tzu.
"It would be great if you could come back two years earlier, Yan Chao. At that time, the imperial court could also accept resumes submitted by aristocratic families and private scholars. Regardless of age, as long as they have excellent ability and pass the test, they can be decentralized for internship. Last year There are no similar rumors like this year, but there are rumors that the emperor is planning to set up some kind of 'imperial examination', and the difficulty and threshold will be raised."
Lin Chao missed a good time.
"Are there any detailed regulations? Grandson, let's see if it can be done." Old Mrs. Lin was regretful, but Lin Tiao didn't feel anything at all. How could he not know how much he weighed? He has a good mentality. If his career fails, he will take other paths and he will never starve to death.
Mr. Lin had no intention of continuing, but changed the topic: "There has been a war recently. Instead of betting on this unknown 'imperial examination', you might as well go to the army and give it a try. Your ability cannot kill the enemy in front of the battle, but the logistics Scheduling is okay.”
Once a war breaks out, many positions need to be filled. Although it is risky to enter an official position with military merit, it is also a shortcut.
Lin Chao didn’t think of this at first.
Old Mrs. Lin was not in a hurry to ask Lin Chao for an answer.
Lin Chao was hesitating, and by chance Fang Yan sent someone over.
The two parties hit it off immediately.
Since it happened by chance, we planned to sit down and discuss it together. Lin Chao asked: "Have you ever asked Shaobai?"
Fang Yan and Chao Lian looked at each other and shook their heads. They didn't intend to ask: "Shaobai is from the Gongxi clan after all. He has no ambition to pursue fame and wealth, so he rashly dragged him into the water. What's going on with Gongxi Qiu?" Explain? With how much Gong Xiqiu values Shaobai, he won’t be happy for Shaobai to take risks in the army? It’s okay that Shaobai has never become famous, but if he becomes famous—"
What should Jimo Yu do if his worried enemies come to visit him?
Hence, Fang Yan did not include Jimo Qiu in his plan.
"That's really a pity." Lin Tiao was awakened and thought of this. He has spent the longest time with Jimo Qiu, and he is also the person who knows the latter's strength best besides Jimo Yu. His frontal combat ability may not be as good as that of top generals, but in terms of various and endless methods, no one can match him. The more chaotic the battle situation, the more beneficial it is to Shao Bai, and the more effective he can be.
As everyone knows—
Before their plan, Jimo Qiu had already thought about it.
This matter started two days ago.
Although Su Shang's seeking medical treatment was a false alarm, his age was such that his aging body could not last long, and even the imperial physician Dong Dao was unable to do anything about this. Qishan couldn't sleep because of this. When he saw Xun Ding canceling his leave in advance, a crazy idea suddenly burst out with amazing power and firmly occupied his mind.
Xinglin doctors can’t do it, what about the Gongxi clan?
The Gongxi clan’s methods may not be ineffective.
At the end of the day the next day, Qi Shan and Su Shang came to visit.
When he heard that the person Qi Shan wanted to see was him and not Gong Xiqiu, Jimo Qiu was confused for a moment - if he remembered correctly, Qi Shan was the Qi Zhongshu of Kang State, a very busy man with a high position and many things to do every day. It was understandable that he wanted to seek revenge on Gong Xiqiu. The latter was still nominally the general of Kang State. He was a white man and had nothing to do with Qi Shan. What was he doing with him?
I have doubts in my heart, but I don’t dare to be negligent.
“Hurry and welcome people in.”
After the two of them took their seats, Jimo Qiu secretly looked at Qishan. He vaguely felt that this face was familiar, but he couldn't recall it.
Have no choice but to take the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.
"I don't know what's important about praying for a book to look for grass people?" He likes to stay at home and has never heard about the uproar about humans and cats. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with bringing cats to the door at night. "If necessary, grass people You must try your best.”
“Does the high priest have a way to extend the life of animals?”
Jimo Qiu: “…extend the life of animals…?”
He suspected that his ears were misheard.
“On that day when Xun Yongan and your sister got married, didn’t the high priest also fight for your sister’s chance to grow old together with Xun Yongan and his wife?”
Jimo Qiu felt that his brain was almost stuck.
He looked at Qi Shan dumbfounded, trying to see other intentions on the latter's face. When he found out that Qi Shan was serious, his words, which were not very smart at all, seemed to be in knots: "The meaning of Qi Zhongshu...could he also want to be with Qi Shan?" Make a pact with your pet?"
The amount of information exceeds his ability to process it.
Qi Shan said: "Okay?"
Jimo Qiu honestly shook his head: "No."
“Why?”
"You are a human being, you can say 'no', you can also say 'yes', but the pet in the arms of Qi Zhongshu is not. It is just understanding of human nature and is more alert than ordinary cats, but it cannot distinguish right from wrong like humans. , know right from wrong. Furthermore, the basis of that secret technique is the sincere consent of the person who concluded it, and your pet cannot do it. This act of praying for the middle letter is really difficult for a strong 'cat'."
Pray for good deeds: “…”
Just when Qishan thought he was going to fail, Jimo Qiu's words gave him hope for a turnaround: "But, if you just extend the life of the cat, it is not difficult, and there is no need to form a secret technique with it. That secret technique is to achieve perfection." Those who have lovers…”
Just tell Qi Shan—
The Gongxi tribe’s secret technique is not what makes **** shovelers go crazy.
Qishan was overjoyed: "Seriously? How many years will your life be extended?"
Jimo Qiu could hardly withstand his fierce emotions and whispered: "This is not clear. This is my first time too."
Before the Wu Gu disaster, in order to protect the safety of the clan, the Gongxi clan once had a high priest who planted special voodoos on strong beasts, and used the voodoos to communicate with the mother body of the voodoo. Using the Gu worm as a medium, the divine power fed to the Gu worm by the high priest is transformed into a good medicine that nourishes the flesh and blood, and then achieves the purpose of strengthening the body of the beast and allowing them to guard the safety of the clan.
Increased longevity is just an additional benefit.
In fact, it’s not that many years.
But for a cat’s lifespan, it is equivalent to one more life.
“Must you feed it yourself?”
There is no divine power in praying for good deeds.
Jimo Qiu shook his head: "Wenqi is also good."
Qi Shan looked at Su Shang who was too lazy to stretch in his arms and asked worriedly: "Will this move have any other disadvantages for Su Shang?"
Because of the past, he really didn’t have a good impression of Gu insects.
Jimo Qiu: "Disadvantages? There are some. The voodoo is picky and only recognizes the food that is fed for the first time. If Qi Zhongshu wants to plant this voodoo on his pet, it means that Qi Zhongshu will die and your pet will starve to death. . You’d better think better of it before asking for Gu again.”
Su Shang's mental state still has two years to live, so there is no rush.
I pray that if you hear the words well, your mind will be at peace.
Before leaving, Qishan said something.
"My brother is currently serving in the army and is about to go on an expedition. There are powerful enemies in the Northern Desert that can threaten his life. Does the high priest have any plans to accompany the army to help?" Before he came to Jimo Qiu, he searched for all the information he could find, and only knew that Jimo Qiu was traveling with Fang Yan from the Duke's Mansion and Lin Chao from the Lin Mansion. He was a well-known ranger, but every ranger wanted to stand out.
The high priest of the Gongxi clan is a treasure.
You might as well use Gong Xiqiu as bait to try to attract him.
Jimo Qiu was surprised and shocked: "Going to war?"
“The high priest doesn’t know?”
"A Nian hasn't mentioned this to me yet... The powerful enemy in the Northern Desert mentioned in the book of Qi Zhong is a young man who looks like he is in his twenties or thirties?" Jimo Qiu suddenly thought of Gong Cheng that he met that day, and immediately couldn't sit still. "If this son is in the Northern Desert, he must not be allowed to stay! Since the leader of the country has used him as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, all people with lofty ideals in the world should follow him. Although Jimo is not talented, he is still willing to serve for his hegemony."
Pray for good deeds: “…”
The high priest is unexpectedly enthusiastic about justice, which is different from Gong Xiqiu, who seems to be unrestrained but is actually passive and avoids the world. This temperament is much better than that of Gong Xiqiu, who doesn't like oil or salt. The manuscripts he prepared to use to deceive others were too late to be put to use.
Qi Shan left with a smile.
Gong Xiqiu rushed back in a hurry after receiving the news.
“Brother!!”

Today I went to Bozhou to meet up with my friends (the fitness and weight loss plan was suspended for a few days, so I treated it as a day of indulgence, and started again when I got home). His grandma took care of the baby at home. His body temperature was stable all day long, he was in good spirits, and he was studying The scooter was like a skateboard, and the living room was not big enough for him to pedal.
PS: They all have their manuscripts saved, but I don’t…
PPS: Gong Xiqiu: My brother looks so cheap.
