Chapter 122 Twenty-one progress bars (8000)
At the level of Eunuch Wei, many things can be clearly seen, especially whether a person has potential.
This is not ability, but experience.
From the beginning of the Great Chu Kingdom, who has been following the Chu Emperor, which one did not start from the flames of war.
Eunuch Wei was originally a normal man, but because of a battle, he alone against dozens of players of the same level, he suffered irreversible damage and became what he is now.
At that time, the Great Chu State was established, and founding heroes like them made immortal contributions to Great Chu.
Emperor Chu originally wanted to appoint a high official to Eunuch Wei, but Eunuch Wei refused to die, no matter what.
In his words, he is already an eunuch, if he becomes a high official again, wouldn't it be ridiculous?
The etiquette is what Eunuch Wei has followed from birth to the present.
is not only a rule, but also his principle, and he even leads by example.
Since then, Eunuch Wei has become the head of eunuchs.
But the people in the imperial court respected Eunuch Wei very much.
Even if he was the first rank in the dynasty, he had a problem with etiquette and was scolded by Eunuch Wei in public, and he dared not say anything wrong.
There is no other reason. When a person leads by example, others have nothing to say, let alone a person who has given up countless fame and fortune.
Since then, there has been one less court official in the world, but one more head of eunuchs in the palace.
As for how strong Eunuch Wei is, there is a world ranking list in this world, including Great Chu, Dayue, and even Barbarians.
On the list, Eunuch Wei was ranked twenty-third.
In the past, dozens of masters sneaked into the palace to assassinate.
That night, in the courtyard of Emperor Chu, Eunuch Wei carried dozens of human heads and asked the **** in charge to drag them out to feed the dogs.
Old is old, but no one can underestimate it.
Someone once said that Emperor Chu had great luck, and these masters were willing to bow down for him.
Only Eunuch Wei just smiled dismissively after hearing these words and ignored them.
But it is such a master, who can make first-rank officials dare not speak in the palace, but has such an evaluation of Xu Bai, if it is known, it will definitely cause an uproar.
This is Eunuch Wei's intuition, and he has always believed in this intuition.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder the lord wants to roll around in front of His Majesty." Eunuch Wei secretly said.
At this time, Xu Bai also walked in, just in time to meet Eunuch Wei's eyes.
Looking at Eunuch Wei's slightly cloudy eyes, he always felt that the head of the **** in the palace had an inexplicable emotion for him.
"Hiss..."
It is said that when a man loses that thing, he will change his temperament, so it is possible...
Xu Bai silently turned his gaze.
"Brother Xu, here we come. This is Eunuch Wei from the palace. He came here specially to pass on His Majesty's secret decree." Yun Zihai also saw Xu Bai, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Xu Bai came over, said hello, clasped his hands together, and said, "I've seen Eunuch Wei."
Eunuch Wei hummed, nodded, and agreed.
This look is normal, but in Yun Zihai's eyes, it is not normal at all.
"How can Eunuch Wei, who values etiquette very much, be indifferent to Xu Bai's actions?" Yun Zihai was puzzled.
He really didn't have time to remind, even when he was writing Fei Ge's biography, Eunuch Wei was watching from the side.
You can't talk about other people's eccentricities in front of others, right?
"Master Yun, are you confused?" Eunuch Wei glanced at Yun Zihai.
Yun Zihai was taken aback for a moment, then said honestly: "Yes, Eunuch Wei."
"Teacher of the princess, of course there is no need to salute me." Eunuch Wei said slowly.
Princess Division?
Yun Zihai was full of surprise, then turned to Chu Yu who was shrunk behind Xu Bai, and said in amazement: "I have never heard of this princess in the royal family, could it be the prince's?"
At this time, Eunuch Wei had already pointed it out, so Xu Bai simply admitted it.
"Brother Xu, it's hard for you to hide it from me." Yun Zihai smiled wryly.
He also guessed Chu Yu's identity, but he really didn't expect that Chu Yu's identity turned out to be like this.
"Hello, Grandpa Wei." At this time, Chu Yu shyly greeted.
As far as the royal children in the palace, which one has not learned etiquette from Eunuch Wei, from childhood to adulthood, that kind of torture is really deep into the bone marrow.
Eunuch Wei rarely showed a smile on his face: "The little princess should have gained a lot from this experience, and she will definitely not let His Majesty and the prince worry anymore."
Chu Yu nodded shyly, still very scared.
Eunuch Wei withdrew his gaze, turned to Xu Bai, and said, "Master Xu, this is His Majesty's secret decree. According to the rules of the Great Chu Kingdom, there is no need to salute to accept the decree."
As he spoke, Eunuch Wei took out a booklet from his pocket.
Like the secret edicts of the Great Chu State, they are not made of cloth, but are made of folds.
When the excerpt was taken out, Eunuch Wei's aura changed, and he went deep into the river.
"The government order Yun Zihai, and the postmaster Xu Bai received the order."
Xu Bai and Yun Zihai looked at each other, and they cupped their hands and said, "I accept the order."
The proper courtesy is still required, but there is no need to perform a grand ceremony.
Eunuch Wei nodded and said: "The two of you have made great contributions to the battle of Yunlai Mansion this time, and have made great contributions to the Great Chu State. Now I will reward you according to your achievements."
"Yun Zihai has made meritorious service on this trip, and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and a fourth-grade ascending cloud pen."
After Eunuch Wei finished speaking, a writing brush appeared from Eunuch Wei's sleeve, floating in front of Yun Zihai.
The whole body of this pen is like white jade, with a glint of luster shining on it, it is not ordinary at first glance.
Yun Zihai took it with both hands, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Eunuch Wei did not answer, but looked at Xu Bai, and said: "Xu Bai has contributed a lot to this battle, and now it is decided to give Xu Bai the right to read the royal treasure house for one month, and he can read the fourth-grade books at will. Reading in the capital."
Xu Bai: "..."
What?
He wondered if he heard it wrong?
January viewing rights?
Is the surprise so big?
Xu Bai was stunned when he heard the news.
If you can read the books of the fourth grade for a month, at least it is the rhythm of several books.
This reward fully meets his requirements.
but…
Is there really a free lunch in the world?
Xu Bai touched his chin, and said to himself: "I still want to go to the capital..."
There is something to do here, and I still need to go to the capital.
"Master Xu?" Seeing that Xu Bai hadn't answered, Eunuch Wei asked, "Are there any doubts?"
"No." Xu Bai reacted, and said: "The minister leads the order."
Let’s talk about it first, and then look at the situation later.
Eunuch Wei hummed, turned his gaze to Chu Yu, and said, "Little princess, come with me, I will send you to the army."
Chu Yu let out a cry, rolled his eyes, and said, "Master, come with us."
Before Xu Bai could answer, Eunuch Wei interrupted: "Master Xu needs to leave in three days, and the route is different from ours. Little princess, don't play around, it's rude."
As soon as the word "etiquette" came out, the scene was instantly quiet.
Chu Yu shrank her neck, lowered her head and said, "Okay."
After saying this, she rolled her eyes again and looked at Xu Bai.
"From now on, you must come to the army to visit me often."
Xu Bai smiled and nodded, agreeing.
Next, nothing happened as Xu Bai imagined, such as whether there would be any rift, and everything went smoothly and smoothly.
Chu Yu left with Eunuch Wei to go to his father's army, while Xu Bai was about to return to the Yin Post by himself, but was held back by Yun Zihai.
"Brother Xu, I'm afraid it's not that simple for you to come to Beijing this time. It's not just to read the books in the royal treasure house." Of course Yun Zihai also saw this. After pulling Xu Bai, his face showed a dignified look .
This reward came out of nowhere. If it was Yun Zihai, it would be fine to reward a few books. Why did Xu Bai go to the capital in person to read in the royal treasure house?
Yun Zihai couldn't figure it out, what was His Majesty thinking, and what was his plan?
"There are still three days, enough time for me to figure it out." Xu Bai said.
The departure will take three days, and during this time, Xu Bai can completely consider various clues to see if he can get a result, even if it is a hazy result.
"I hope it's okay." Yun Zihai said.
"It's okay, I'm leaving first." Xu Bai shook his hand, said goodbye and left.
After leaving the government office, he went directly to the Yinyi, and told Liu Er to take care of the affairs of the Yinyi during the recent period, and sat on the chair with his eyes closed and meditated.
After a long time, he opened his eyes.
He always felt that there must be something going on here, but he couldn't think of what it was.
It is impossible for the emperor to do something to him. If he really wanted to do it, it was enough to be in Yunlai Mansion just now. Eunuch Wei can solve all the problems by directly taking action.
Since he didn't intend to do anything to him, he must have other ideas.
"To go or not to go?" Xu Bai pondered.
Although he has accepted the secret decree, there are still three days left, and he can completely consider whether to go or not.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Bai stood up from his chair and made up his mind.
-go.
Not to mention other things, he was already moved by being able to read all the four books in the royal treasure house in just one month.
And what he lacks most now happens to be the progress bar.
For a whole month, if you can really stay for a full month, it will definitely be profitable.
No!
Xu Bai had already made up his mind, but suddenly he thought of something.
Did you really make money?
He has now reached the level of a fifth-rank master, and most of all his skills have reached the fifth-level level. Although it is difficult to find books for the fourth rank, it is not absolute.
As long as you find a place and be more stable, at best it will take longer, there is no need to take this risk.
"But if you don't take risks, you have to find a place to hide. After all, directly resisting the decree seems to be a serious crime." Xu Bai secretly said.
Accepting the decree, and then resisting the decree, this operation is a bit expensive.
"The emperor's move is really smooth. On the surface, he gave me enough rewards, but he wants me to go to the capital in person. On the surface, it makes sense. The most important thing is that I can't refuse." Xu Bai put one hand on his chin, The other hand is playing with the teacup on the table.
Didn't he just play around, on the surface he was rewarded, but in fact, he didn't know what trick he was holding back, and the reward was pretty good on the bright side, the most important thing is that this is the emperor's reward, and he couldn't refuse it .
Just when Xu Bai was about to make a decision, he didn't expect a sound of footsteps outside the door.
"who?"
This is the place where the postmaster lives, and the group of postmen outside, no matter how courageous they are, dare not set foot in this place.
He followed the sound of footsteps and saw a kind-faced Eunuch Wei walking in from the door.
"I have seen Master Xu, it seems that Master Xu has not chosen the right direction, so I will help Master Xu." After Eunuch Wei came in, he greeted him very politely, and stood in front of Xu Bai, with his hands hanging on his sides.
Xu Bai silently put his hand on the hilt of the ghost knife, and said, "Eunuch Wei didn't go to send Chu Yu off, why did he come to my small place?"
"The little princess is in a safe place for the time being. I came here mainly to tell Mr. Xu something, and then I really left." Seeing Xu Bai put his hand on the handle of the knife, Eunuch Wei was not angry, but showed admiration expression.
He has seen too many young people, he has also seen many so-called proud sons of heaven, and even the amazingly talented and beautiful people who have been stepped into the sky.
But in his mind, those are just some flowers in the greenhouse, after the careful cultivation of the family or sect, they gradually achieved their current fame.
In Eunuch Wei's mind, with the resources of the family and sect, even a pig with spirituality can take off.
But Xu Bai is different.
He has already investigated all kinds of information about Xu Bai. From the beginning to the current situation of this young man, he has been struggling alone.
There may be adventures, but who doesn’t have some adventures these days, the most important thing is the character of this young man, which is very suitable for his appetite.
Being brave and resourceful, even in this situation, you still dare to fight. For this alone, many young people in the world can't compare.
The so-called Tianjiao, after meeting him, most of them lost their airs, and some even couldn't even hold up a weapon, but this one was able to deal with it calmly. Judging from the situation, it seemed that he still wanted to fight him desperately.
"If the younger generation of my Great Chu Kingdom all have the character of Mr. Xu, then there will be successors in the Great Chu Kingdom. Unfortunately, there are too few." Eunuch Wei said from the bottom of his heart.
Is there anyone in the younger generation who can rival Xu Bai?
Xu Bai heard Eunuch Wei's praise, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "I am very lucky to be praised by Eunuch Wei, but today Eunuch Wei came here to praise me, right?"
"Of course not." Eunuch Wei raised his right hand, and at some point, a medium-sized wooden box appeared on his right hand.
After putting the wooden box on the table, Eunuch Wei pointed, meaning to ask Xu Bai to open it and have a look.
Xu Bai frowned, and opened the box in front of him. When he saw what was inside, his frown deepened.
There is a map inside, which is the map of the Great Chu Kingdom, and under the map, there are twenty-one books.
When Xu Bai took out one of the books, he found that the progress bar was still stuck in the wooden box.
Each book has a progress bar!
This situation was beyond Xu Bai's imagination. With a look of surprise on his face, he opened one of the books, and then slowly closed it again.
Next, he opened and closed each book, and finally slowly closed the lid of the wooden box.
"Your Majesty's reward is too heavy."
In the wooden box, there are all the remaining parts of the unknown knife scripture.
If the twenty-four unknown sword scriptures can be combined into one, they will be able to enter the first-grade state.
"Your Majesty said that you like doing business the most, and I'm talking about business with you now. Since we're talking about business, of course there must be a corresponding amount of capital." Eunuch Wei said slowly: "Can you accept this business?"
"Whether you can pick it up depends on what kind of business it is." Xu Bai picked up the map and found that some places were highlighted on the map.
Eunuch Wei took two steps forward, pointed at the map, and said, "Master Xu only needs to stop at these marked places on the way to the capital."
Xu Bai rubbed his chin, didn't speak, and looked directly at Eunuch Wei, the meaning in his eyes was already obvious.
The reason, he wants to know the reason, after all, he can't do things without thinking.
"From the establishment of the Great Chu Kingdom to the present, a lot of time has been spent, and His Majesty has worked hard to manage everything in an orderly manner." Wei Gonggong said.
"But there is not only one Great Chu State in the world. Today's Great Chu State developed suddenly at the beginning, but forgot many places to make up for the loopholes."
"The seemingly monolithic Great Chu State actually has many wormholes in the depths, so it needs to be ruthless to fill all the holes in the body."
Speaking of this, Eunuch Wei paused for a while. It seemed that he was getting older and needed to slow down, but Xu Bai knew that the strength of the person in front of him had nothing to do with his age.
He didn't interrupt, let alone interrupt, waiting for Eunuch Wei to continue.
He knew what Eunuch Wei meant by the hole just now, and it was nothing more than those people who were hiding in the dark of the Great Chu State and were ready to subvert the Great Chu State at any time.
But what does everything have to do with him? He can't possibly find out one by one.
"Master Xu is now in the limelight. Putting aside other factors, just solving the matter here has won His Majesty's love, and this love is known to everyone." Wei Gonggong said: "Then hide People in the dark, except for the huge benefits, it is impossible to come out, and now, the benefits are coming."
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words.
He finally understands that the main purpose of co-authoring this journey is not to end up in the capital, but to be on the way.
Why it is on the road is actually very simple.
Now that he is so famous, even the emperor paid a huge price, wanting him to come to Beijing to face the saint.
Some people want him to go, and some people want him not to go.
Those who don’t want him to go, they will naturally do everything possible to stop them.
Otherwise, after Xu Bai actually arrives, the emperor will have a powerful assistant.
Those who stopped them couldn't be found at first, but with Xu Bai's actions along the way, it's just waiting for them to be exposed and then uprooted by the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom.
"Your Majesty's strategy is really powerful." Xu Bai said.
"Of course." Wei Gonggong nodded as he should, with his hands behind his back slowly, looked at Xu Bai seriously, without even blinking his eyes, and asked: "In that case, Mr. Xu agrees." Is it? If you agree, the remaining unnamed sword scriptures will be given to Mr. Xu."
Xu Bai touched the surface of the wooden box with his hands, and said, "This is something that people cannot refuse."
As I said just now, since we are talking about business, we must have the capital to negotiate business. The other party has already handed over the capital, and Xu Bai of course readily accepts it.
The Emperor has already collected all the remaining books of the Unknown Sword Classic, which is equivalent to saving Xu Bai a lot of time. If you can finish the rest of the progress bar of the Wuming Daojing, you will go straight to the first grade.
The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger. When the benefits of something are large enough, the risk is worthwhile.
When Eunuch Wei heard Xu Bai's agreement, he said, "Master Xu, don't worry, those real old monsters dare not do anything, because once they do, they will be completely exposed. We'll get there in time."
The meaning behind the words is already obvious. The most important thing in this step is to eliminate those redundant hands and feet.
"What about the fourth-grade books for that month?" Xu Bai felt that there was still room for bargaining on this matter.
"Of course this reward will be fulfilled. After all, Master Xu really deserves it, and the books in your hands are only for our business." Wei Gonggong said.
Xu Bai smiled and said: "Eunuch Wei is really an upright person. Since you all value this matter so much, I will agree."
"Okay, brave and decisive, not a person who drags his feet." Eunuch Wei praised: "Your appearance, I am afraid that everyone in the younger generation in today's world will be in danger. I am very happy to see that kind of scene. Since you promised I'm leaving too, and I have to send the little princess to the barracks right away."
"No more." Xu Bai clasped his hands.
Eunuch Wei finished his work, so he didn't say any more, and turned around and left here.
Xu Bai kept watching the direction where Eunuch Wei left, until he could no longer see the figure, then slowly retracted his gaze, and turned his gaze to the wooden box on the table.
"Good stuff."
There is nothing more attractive to him than a progress bar, but now there are 21 progress bars at once, it is hard to say, they are all fake.
Xu Bai walked to the door and called out, "Liu Er."
Liu Er, who was patrolling around Yinyi, hurried over: "My lord."
"You come into the house with me, I have something to tell." Xu Bai said.
Since you have decided to go, you should arrange the affairs here before leaving to prevent someone from stealing your home.
In the quiet room, Xu Bai's voice sounded.
…
Time is like running water.
Life is like a beautiful journey. In this journey, everything may stop and wait for you, but time will not wait.
In the blink of an eye, three days have come.
"Brother Xu, it's a long journey, so take care all the way." Yun Zihai stood at the gate of Yinyi and said with cupped hands.
Xu Bai was carrying a wooden box and a bundle on his back, and a paper figure was slung around his waist. He said with a smile, "Don't make it seem like life and death, I'll just go there."
"My lord, the horse is here." Liu Er led a fine horse and sent it to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai used to be a bodyguard teacher, although he may not be very good at equestrian skills, but at least he can ride a horse without any problem.
Taking over the reins from Liu's second hand, Xu Bai got on his horse and glanced back at Yinyi.
"Okay, it's getting late, what should you do, I'm leaving."
He didn't say much, and he didn't say anything like "a strong man is gone and never comes back". He turned the reins directly, and rode away on his fast horse with a bang.
Yun Zihai looked at the back of Xu Bai leaving, and did not look away until he disappeared.
In this quiet place, the voice of Yun Zihai resounded.
"Now is the time when the sea is wide and the fish are leaping. I don't know what kind of storm will be caused by Brother Xu's coming to Beijing this time?"
…
Here, Xu Bai was rushing towards his destination, while in other places, various voices sounded.
"Oh? That young man who rose up in the rivers and lakes, has he rushed towards the capital?"
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, it's a great opportunity for me."
"Hehe, the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom wants to recruit a talent with potential, so I will stop it."
"Come here! Come here! Find out the route of this person for me, you must be quick!"
Various sounds in different places, but all have the same purpose.
In addition to these places, in the capital, in a luxurious hall.
The door of one of the rooms was closed tightly, and there was a dim light inside.
A young woman slowly took off her veil and walked into the pool in front of her.
In the pool, there is clean warm water with unknown flower petals floating on it.
The young woman has a soft appearance and a hot figure. She is lying in the water by the edge of the pool. Her jet-black hair is soaked in the water and spreads out slowly, covering the infinite scenery in the water.
But even so, the round and fair shoulders exposed above the water can't help but make people sway. Looking along, it is faintly visible between the connections of the water surface, making it more mature.
Another pair of white hands appeared, gently placed on the intoxicating shoulders, slowly kneading.
Princess Jiu closed her eyes, enjoyed the massage behind her, and suddenly said, "Qingxue, your heart is so messed up, is it because that man came?"
Qingxue, who was rubbing the shoulders of Princess Nine, was taken aback for a moment, paused for a while, then shook her head.
"Princess, you misunderstood. Ever since she became your maid, Qingxue has already put aside her worldly emotions."
"Then why hesitate?" Ninth Princess pressed Qingxue's hand and pulled it closer.
Qingxue lowered her head and said, "Qingxue is thinking, if he comes, the sky in this capital might change."
Ninth Princess fell into silence, and after a while, said: "If you can arrive, you can receive him."
Qingxue agreed and nodded slightly.
Ninth Princess said: "Continue."
She was soaking in the water, her slender thighs curled up slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
On the other side, another palace in the palace.
"Your Highness, Xu Bai is definitely not a man in a pool. Since he is coming, we must treat each other well."
Zhou Qing, who once dealt with the Eighth Prince with Xu Bai, stood in front of the Sixth Prince and put forward his own ideas very resolutely.
As one of the think tanks of the Sixth Prince, he felt that he had to put forward this idea.
Although His Majesty has now opened restrictions to members of the royal family, even so, Zhou Qing still believes that it is necessary to make friends with Xu Bai.
What he saw and heard that day, he still can't get rid of it, especially Xu Bai's figure like a demon, the shock he received has not eased in the slightest.
The sixth prince frowned: "I still have more talents to recruit now, and I really can't take him into account. If he comes, just recruit him at will. If he doesn't agree, we don't want to offend him. After all, he has been educated by his father. Those who are rewarded by the emperor."
"Alas..." Zhou Qing heard the sixth prince say this, and knew that his highness had made up his mind, so he stopped talking, but always felt that such an opportunity was lost, and it would be a pity.
Xu Bai, is it really not possible?
No, Zhou Qing thinks that even in the capital, it may be difficult for young people to match him.
"I hope His Highness is right." He thought to himself.
The dragon has nine sons, each of which is different.
Except for the Eighth Prince who was calculated by the emperor, every member of the royal family has their own ideas.
In another hall, the Seventh Prince slammed on the table with a gloomy face.
"Okay, it's finally here. I sent someone to invite you, but died inexplicably. Although there is no evidence that you did it, it is absolutely inseparable from you."
Beside him, a group of subordinates stood in place, all daring not to speak.
After waiting for a long time, he was still a scholar, so he mustered up his courage and walked out of the crowd.
"Your Highness, since His Majesty invited Xu Bai, it's better for us not to touch him."
It’s okay if someone else moved, but if it’s a member of the royal family blatantly moving, I’m afraid there will be a big problem.
But seeing the angry look of the Seventh Prince, the man thought for a while and added: "Even if you want to move, you have to wait until he reads a month's worth of books before moving."
As long as Xu Bai finished taking the rewards from His Majesty, it would be a little more reasonable at that time.
"Okay!" The seventh prince said: "In this case, you can discuss a good plan for me. If he dares to touch my people, I will definitely not let him go!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded quickly.
Among the royal family members, everyone thinks differently.
But no matter what these people think, they still can't stop Xu Bai's progress.
Time keeps passing, and several days have passed in a blink of an eye.
Xu Bai is already approaching a Yin post, and plans to take a rest here first.
During this period of time, he didn't take a break. Even when he was riding a horse, he would read the liver progress bar from time to time. After all, he didn't need to read it seriously, he just needed to keep his eyes on it.
Although riding a horse like this is a bit unique, at least it can increase the progress bar while being safe.
One of the unnamed knife scriptures is almost full, and Xu Bai estimated that it will be completed within a day or two.
In fact, he didn't feel tired. After all, he was riding the horse the whole time. Considering his current body, the bumps were nothing.
But the horse couldn't run anymore. If it didn't rest, it would be tantamount to killing a chicken to get its eggs.
Fortunately, the yin post built in the Great Chu State was very complete, and he came inside not long after.
Xu Bai found a place to sit down, took out the map, and ate a few mouthfuls of dry food.
Pay some money and get good fodder for the horses, and he doesn't care about it.
According to the marks on the map, he is not far from the first mark.
After taking a break here, there is no need to rest in the next place, and you will directly arrive at the first marked position.
Xu Bai was thinking while watching.
At this moment, he felt a figure shaking in front of him, and when he raised his head, his brows frowned.
