Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 552: My dad is going to become a master?

The wind blew across the vast waves, and the hundred thousand white lotuses blooming in the Jishuitan Pond swayed along with it, and light boats of various colors glided across the water.

The royal giant elephant, with a shoulder height of more than ten feet, waded in the river, probed the water with its long trunk, and drew out a tornado, which splashed towards the tourists on the pier, like a heavy rain, causing a lot of noise and play.

Rain falls.

A faint rainbow bridge appeared, and the tourists who were shoulder to shoulder were cheering in surprise.

Snapped!
The loosened stool leg smashed into the bench. The vendor put it back next to the table, sat on it and shook it a few times, and heard angry curses coming from the street.

"Fuck! Where are my flowers? You dare to ride a horse on the streets of the imperial capital? Will it grow..."

The rich young man in gorgeous clothes felt hot and wet on his head. He reached out to touch his head and was surprised to find that the flower arrangement in his bun had disappeared. He turned around and cursed.

However, when he saw who was coming, the young man leaned back violently and stopped talking.

Behind him was a majestic black horse, wearing silver chain mail. It opened and closed its teeth, chewed the flowers in three or two bites, and when it was done, it deliberately exhaled a breath of hot air.

laugh.

A faint scent of flowers.

The tall warrior on horseback seemed not to have heard the words, and he looked silently into the distance, with visible emotion in his eyes.

"I haven't been to the capital for many years."

half an hour.

The warrior lowered his head, stroked the black horse's neck hair, and looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry. I've been speeding all the way from Heyuan Prefecture, rarely stopping. As we approach the imperial capital, my heart is getting more and more excited. I haven't fed for three thousand miles."

"Nothing, nothing." The rich young man pointed to the distance, "The flowers were picked near the White Lotus Pond. If your horse likes them, you can go there to eat some to fill your stomach."

"Thank you."

There wasn't much conversation.

The crowd quietly moved aside, the black horse walked by with small steps, and the six silent black-armored riders followed quietly behind it.

"call."

When the crowd gathered again, the rich young man breathed a sigh of relief.

He was riding a horse along the long street, accompanied by soldiers. He must be an important figure.

Heyuan Prefecture?
Could it be that he is from Beisai?
Is there an emergency at the border?

Leisurely, it doesn't seem like it.

"Before the Daqian period, the Jishuitan area was the old course of the Yongding River. Later, the river changed its course, leaving some stagnant water. Later, the Gaoliang River flowed into the old course, forming the prototype of the Jishuitan.

After the Dashun Dynasty conquered Qian, in order to meet the needs of entertainment and leisure, the court ordered the dredging of the Jishuitan Lake and the construction of two islands and the Taining Palace on the east bank of the lake as a summer palace for the royal family to go on outings.

At this point, the area outside the imperial city was called Jishuitan, and the area inside the imperial city was called Taiyechi.

In order to receive the materials, the grain ships from the south and north could reach the heart of the imperial capital. In addition to food, all the materials from all over Dashun were transported here, making it the most lively and prosperous place in the entire imperial capital.

Do you see the elephants in the pond? Jishuitan is the royal elephant washing pool.

The elephants tributed by the southern Xinjiang tribes were used as a means of transportation and for court ceremonies. Sometimes the emperor's carriage would be pulled by southern elephants.

But I have seen it once, it is not as fast as a horse, but it is more powerful. "

The soldiers on the left and right rode their horses side by side, and couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency's hometown is Huaiyin Prefecture, and you served in the army in Heyuan Prefecture. One is in the south and the other is in the north. Why do you know the imperial capital in the middle so well?"

"Before my father retired, he would always take me to the imperial capital every year to pay a visit to General Xu. Madam Xu was kind and virtuous, and she would always let me stay at her house for a while.

Although I was young at the time, I still have some memories, but later when I was eleven or twelve, I stayed less often as I grew older, and it became inconvenient. "

The six soldiers looked at each other and smiled.

"In that case, Your Excellency must be quite familiar with the good restaurants in the imperial capital, right?"

"Hahaha! I knew what you were thinking. It must be so!" Yang Xu laughed and whipped his horse. "Let's go to Xu's house first and pay our respects to General Xu. I'll treat you all to a drink at the best restaurant!"

"it is good!"

"Your Excellency is generous!"

The horses were very smart and the seven riders weaved through the crowd and quickly rushed to Xu's mansion.

Hand over the badge and visiting card.

After a while, Qin Hongwei, the steward of the Xu Mansion, went out to greet him personally, and sent several servants to lead the horses, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

The steward of Xu Wenzhu's family, the Earl of Guanying, was of a very distinguished status. He actually came to greet him personally, and secretly guessed who Yang Xu was.

"Uncle Qin!"

"Nephew Yang! Come in quickly. The Madam is already in the hall. I have also sent someone to call the General. It's amazing that you have become so magnificent in the blink of an eye. How many years have we not seen each other?"

After Qin Hongwei settled the other six riders, he took Yang Xu's hand and went into the mansion. They walked under the corridor and reminisced about the past, their words full of nostalgia.

"It's been five years, right? I haven't taken leave to visit my family in five years, so naturally I haven't gone south to the imperial capital in five years."

"Five years pass by so quickly. After joining the army, it's really hard to have free time."

"General, is my wife okay?"

"Okay, it's all good. We have arguments occasionally, but that's just life, it's just the same."

Qin Hongwei led Yang Xu into the hall.

Mrs. Xu sat at the head of the table. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they exchanged pleasantries again.

Yang Dongxiong and Xu Wenzhu have known each other since they were young. They are close friends and have known each other for decades. Even though they haven't seen each other for five years, they are not the least bit estranged.

"Why did Nephew Yang think of visiting today? Is there anything important at the border?"

Yang Xu put down the teacup and said seriously, "My grandfather is going to celebrate his 90th birthday this year. I haven't been home for a long time and I miss him terribly. In addition, I fought with Marquis Weining at the border last year. This year, the fighting in Beiting has subsided and there is nothing important to do. So I asked Grandmaster Kou for a long vacation to visit my family."

"master!"

The servant outside the door greeted.

"Dashun has the largest Jianghuai Lake, and Beiting has the largest Liujin Sea. What a good and fertile land, and we have occupied it. Beiting wants to take it back all the time."

A tall figure in black walked in, with a white belt around his waist.

"Uncle Xu!" Yang Xu stood up and greeted.

"Sit down!" Xu Wenzhu pressed Yang Xu's shoulders down, turned around and sat in the upper seat, gently turned the tea lid and skimmed off the foam, "I haven't seen you for five years. How's your martial arts progress?"

"If you are in the middle level of tiger hunting, you may enter the upper level within a year."

"Not bad. If nothing goes wrong, in five years, he might be stronger than your father."

"What if?" Yang Xu felt something was wrong.

"You don't know?"

Yang Xu hesitated: "I have lived in Heyuan Prefecture for a long time. The last time I received a letter from home was in August. Calculating the date, it should have been sent in mid-June or early June. Apart from Junior Brother's great achievements, there was no mention of other important matters."

"No wonder. It hasn't been too long since I received your letter. You are here today and you are supposed to leave in August, so I haven't written to you again."

Xu Wenzhu closed the lid of the teapot and said, "It was the little apprentice your father accepted. He became the master of Marquis Weining, the grandson of the current King of Yue. When he became your apprentice, he specially gave you a black and yellow plaque.

The letter also said that he had already mastered the Hundred Classics, and that the remaining ten great achievements were also taken care of, so both steps were completed.

In other words, the path to becoming a Grandmaster is only one step away from opening the Mysterious Light. You wrote to me to ask for my help. I picked out some good things for your father, which should be delivered to Pingyang Prefecture soon."

Yang Xu was dumbfounded.

No.

He lived in Heyuan Prefecture for several years, and they exchanged four or five letters every year, so he was not isolated from the news at home.

How come in the blink of an eye, within less than two or three months, my father is going to become a master?
Xu Wenzhu observed Yang Xu's expression and asked, "How much do you know about your junior brother?"

"I know... very little." Yang Xu was a little embarrassed. "My father accepted him as his disciple two years ago, and he has never accepted any other disciples since then. I only know that he is a natural warrior, has made rapid progress in his cultivation, and has received the Holy Emperor's oral instructions, so he has a bright future.

But I haven't been home for five years, and I haven't even seen my junior brother. The letter says that he is handsome, not inferior to my fourth junior brother."

"Your father has an extraordinary disciple. The King of Yue sent out invitations to recruit talented people. After he was awarded the title, he went all the way south from the imperial capital and sent out countless gold, silver and bronze plaques.

Among so many young talents, he only took a liking to your junior brother, gave him a jade token, and even arranged for his own grandson to be his disciple.

If I were not so busy, I would really like to go to Pingyang Prefecture to see with my own eyes what the talented person chosen by the Martial Saint looks like. "

Yang Xu thought, "Isn't Yue Long working in the river and lake department of Pingyang Prefecture? I am far away in Heyuan Prefecture, and I have heard that the Duhuai Grand Canal has been completed. It should be much more convenient to travel south on a treasure ship."

Xu Wenzhu didn't react much, but Mrs. Xu was quite moved.

Mother misses her son, the Huai River is long.
