The Emperor is Above

Chapter 262 The Little Fox and the Civet Cat Run Away Early

Qing Yi was unaware of the secret conversation between Xing Hou and Gong Shu Liao. He was very satisfied with today's gains.

On the way out of the palace, even the calm Yuanmu Qiujian couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sir Guqiu Yi, the Lord is really fond of you and gave you the token when he was the crown prince.

Do you know that even the youngest daughter Xing Shu, the most beloved of the Lord, wanted to use this token to enter the Imperial College many times, but the Lord did not agree, even if she cried and made a fuss. "

"Your Excellency's kindness is so touching, I will definitely repay you in the future!" Qing Yi stopped when he heard this, turned around and bowed towards the main hall, and said with regret,

"Unfortunately, I can only stay in the Imperial College for a month at most. After the new year, I will be assigned to a new land, far away from the capital, and live in a remote place for a long time. Perhaps this is why the Lord gave me this token."

Yuanmu Qiujian's eyes were complicated, with both envy and sighs, and he said slowly in a comforting tone: "In life, if you give up, you must gain, and if you gain, you must give up. There is no such thing as perfection.

No one expected that Sergeant Guqiu Yi would be promoted to the rank of corporal so quickly. I thought it would be good enough if you could be promoted to the rank of corporal before you were twenty years old.

A corporal was promoted to sergeant, and a sergeant to staff sergeant. In this way, one could study in the Imperial College for at least seven or eight years. If one was promoted to a senior official for merit before the age of thirty, he would be considered a rare young talent.

However, I didn't expect that in just over half a year, you were promoted from a lower commoner to a senior vassal, and in less than a year, you were promoted to a lower official.

Perhaps the Lord gave you this token with this in mind. I just hope that you can gain something from your time at the Imperial Academy in this month."

"The good wind, with its power, sends me to the blue clouds!"

Qing Yi smiled and said, "Who could have expected so many changes to happen this year? Perhaps it was just a coincidence that I happened to catch up with it!"

"Haha, where do all these coincidences come from? Otherwise, why are you the only one who was promoted so quickly this year? There are so many vassal states in the kingdom who don't have the same opportunity as you?"

The two walked out of the palace gate while chatting and laughing. Yuanmu Qiujian pointed in the direction of the Imperial College and said with a smile, "It's not even noon yet. Sergeant Guqiu Yi, do you want me to take you around the Imperial College?"

Qing Yi looked at the Imperial College that he had been thinking about for nearly a year, and couldn't help but be very moved. However, after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and smiled:

"Thank you for your kindness, Doctor. I have received a lot from Mr. Shi in the past year. When I arrived in the capital yesterday, it was already late, so I didn't go to see him. I will go to visit him first today."

After bowing and saying goodbye to Yuanmu Qiujian, Qing Yi didn't bother to look at the magnificent scenery of the upper city any longer. He quickly went down the stairs he came from to the city gate.

As soon as he walked out of the city gate, he saw Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao and thirty Guqiu private soldiers waiting for him a hundred feet outside the city gate. There were many vassal officials, their retainers and private soldiers standing around, pointing and talking.

After walking closer and listening carefully, Qing Yi instantly understood what was going on. Most of Guqiu's private army were at the eighth-grade warrior level, and with their sophisticated crocodile leather armor and fourth-grade crocodile swords, their overall momentum overwhelmed the guards guarding the city gate.

"My lord, half an hour ago, the Ranger City Lv Dan came running over and said that two more of his young men had mysteriously disappeared, and the Chief of the Gongsun Family brought ten of his brothers to help search for them."

Dongmen Hu first reported Gongsun Wu's whereabouts, and then explained with a little embarrassment, "Just now the captain of the guards asked us to try not to get close to the city gate, so I took everyone here to wait for the master."

Qing Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing. No wonder the dozens of guards guarding the gate had strange looks in their eyes when he just walked out of the upper city gate. It turned out that such an episode had just happened.

Qing Yi returned to the camp of Zuo Shi with Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao and other 30 private soldiers. He went to find Tu Shigu first: "Brother Shigu, where are Hua Ni and Xiao Bai? Take them with you and go visit Old Man Shi!" "My dear, brother, don't you know? Hua Ni and Xiao Bai went to the direction of Old Man Shi's house last night!"

Tun Shigu was talking to the tall and burly Zi Che Zhongxing. His eyes, which usually narrowed into slits when smiling, now looked worried.

"Did you go there last night?"

Qing Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He had never expected that the two fat guys, the civet cat and the little fox, would sneak away to Old Man Shi without even saying hello.

It seemed that they had gained a lot of benefits from Old Man Shi at the beginning of the year. The little fox was promoted twice in a row, and the civet cat even awakened the ability to capture objects from the void, and could not wait to escape early.

"Brother Yi, don't worry. Although Mr. Shi has a strange personality, he never cares about empty formalities. Maybe he is even happy that the two little guys come to play with him."

Zi Che Zhongxing, who had a dark complexion, smiled broadly to console him, then pointed at Tu Shigu's fourth-grade crocodile leather armor and said with envy,
"I have seen crocodile dragon armor for sale in the capital before, but never with the exquisite craftsmanship of Corporal Tushi Gu. I am thinking of ordering a few hundred sets from him."

Tu Shigu smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Zi Che, I have told you many times that those crocodile leather armors were provided to me by Brother Yi for processing.

This set of fourth-grade crocodile dragon armor that I am wearing is thanks to my brother Yi. It is such a great treasure that I have. I will pass it down as a family heirloom in the future.

If you really want the exotic beast crocodile leather armor, then you have to go to Jiming Lake to hunt crocodiles yourself. You can't expect me, a ninth-grade warrior, to deal with seventh-grade, eighth-grade, or even fourth-grade or fifth-grade crocodiles!"

Qing Yi took a look at Zi Che Zhong Xing's attire and immediately bowed to congratulate him, "So Brother Zi Che Zhong Xing has also been promoted to the rank of lieutenant. I congratulate you. I still have dozens of remaining crocodile skins in the warehouse of my Feng Tu family. If you want them, I'll give them to you."

"Hehe, brother is also lucky to be under Ran You's command. I also had a share of the military merits of capturing Mo Chue's eldest son and ambushing thousands of Xian Yu's elite cavalry in the battle at the border town, so I was promoted from Sima to Xiaowei."

Zi Che Zhong Xing laughed twice, his teeth looked especially white against his dark face, but he refused very straightforwardly and firmly.
"Brother Yi, I appreciate your kindness. After all, I heard that you are about to leave your fiefdom in Guqiu and be promoted to the rank of a senior official. The fiefdoms of senior officials are always remote and prone to wars, and you will need more armor and weapons in the future.

Anyway, now that the wild people in Jiming Lake have been completely wiped out, the king will certainly send various troops to take turns garrisoning the many strategic locations in the lake to prevent the wild people from breeding again.

Brother, you can take this opportunity to capture more crocodile beasts, and then ask Corporal Gu, the Pig Master, to make armor for you. Maybe we can fight side by side next time."

"Haha, there are many wildernesses in the country now, and there are constant wars in both the northern border and the southeast. I can't say for sure where the king will grant me a fiefdom!"

Qing Yi smiled and said to Master Tu, "Brother Master Gu's reputation as a master of armor and weapons has spread. In the future, he may become a widely sought-after armor and weapon family in the capital."

"Hehe, isn't it because you follow your brothers that you have a little fame?" Tu Shigu's eyes suddenly turned into slits when he smiled.

After bidding farewell to Zi Che Zhong Xing, Qing Yi went to Shi Lao Weng's courtyard with Tun Shi Gu. As soon as they reached the gate, they heard the cheerful cries of the civet cat and the little fox coming from the yard.

As expected, these two greedy guys secretly ran over early. Qing Yi shook his head helplessly and found that the gate of the courtyard was not locked. He immediately stepped in, but was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
