Influenced by the movies and TV dramas he had watched in his previous life, Xu Huaiyi had very complicated emotions towards Jin Yiwei. He was both curious and fearful. He felt that it was cool for him to hold great power and turn his hands to make clouds and rain. But at the same time, he also knew that such pride was not. It lasts a long time, and if you are not careful, it will be crushed into mud.

As a time traveler, the founding emperor supposedly knew the pros and cons of Jin Yiwei's sword, but he still set up this department at the beginning. Fortunately, no more East and West factories were created, otherwise the fight for power would only become more chaotic and endless. Internal strife consumes national power and suffers from the common people. Ministers are always on tenterhooks. Who has the heart to govern the world?

Today's Jin Yiwei does not have as much power as shown in movies and TV dramas, but he is directly under the direct leadership of the emperor. His status is self-evident. Ordinary people would not dare to offend him. They are afraid of being caught with small shoes, eye drops, and random excuses. If you go to the imperial prison, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.

Therefore, the officials in the DPRK also have very complicated feelings towards Jin Yiwei. They dare not please openly for fear that the emperor will be overly concerned. They also dare not offend or be retaliated against. Except for a few Qingliu who disdain to associate with them, most of them are just guests. Polite, polite, also means alienation.

It is very rare to see Sun Yu who is friendly with a commander Jian Envoy without avoiding suspicion at all.

Before Xu Huaiyi came, he had thought about what kind of person this commanding officer was and what kind of attitude he should use to get along with him. Even though he was mentally prepared, he never expected that when they met, he just shouted "Master uncle", before the greetings were uttered, the other party asked bluntly, "Are you willing to join the Imperial Guard?"

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

So straightforward?

No matter how strong his psychological quality is, he will still be stunned, with a bit of surprise on his face. Is this a sign of talent or a temptation? He didn't understand Shi Pei and couldn't figure out his true thoughts. He wanted to read something from his face, but was frustrated to find that the other person, like Hu Yingjie, had a paralyzed face and no emotion. How should he deal with this? ?

He turned to look at Sun Yu, hoping that the other party would give him some hints.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yu smiled calmly and showed an uninvolved attitude.

Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi knew that Shi Peck had no ill intentions, otherwise Sun Yu would not have allowed him to ask. He calmed down and considered, "Thank you, Master, for commending me. It's just that I have only been admitted to Jingwu Academy for a short period of time." It’s been more than a month since I learned even a little bit about the master. How can I dare to work for you? Disciples are not afraid of hardship and humiliation, but if they do a wrong job and injure the master, then the disciple will be blamed for it thousands of times. ”

Shi Peck is six years older than Sun Yu, but he is cold and stern, which makes him look much older. Today, he is wearing a blue brocade robe, and his whole body is as straight as a bladed sword. It seems that if he gets close, he will be stabbed. The same thing makes people want to stay away involuntarily. At this moment, after listening to Xu Huaiyi's words, the previously restrained momentum involuntarily released, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "So, you just don't want to?"

Xu Huaiyi's back stiffened, but he was still stable and said respectfully, "Uncle Master, I have misunderstood. It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I don't have the ability and confidence for the time being. Without diamonds, I can't take on the porcelain work. I know myself and don't dare to I have ruined the reputation of you and my master."

"So, if you have the ability and confidence, you would be willing to join the Imperial Guard?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi cursed in his heart, why did this person have to be entangled with him? Who doesn’t know what kind of existence Jin Yiwei is? It is true that many people are eager to get in. After all, the position is not high, but the power is, but there are also many people who are afraid to avoid it, fearing that they will lose their reputation. Is it a test for him?

He pondered, "The disciple's wishes are not important. When the disciple takes part in the martial arts examination, if he is lucky enough to pass the examination, where he will be on duty depends on the needs of the court."

To put it bluntly, it is all about avoiding important matters and being vague.

Shi Peck thought to himself, this is still a slippery person, but it is better to be a slippery person than to be stupid, otherwise he will easily fall into other people's traps and bring disaster to his own people.

He nodded, quite satisfied with his performance, but he couldn't help but ask again, "I think your current ability is pretty good, and you are barely qualified to join the Imperial Guard. How about that? Do you want me to recommend you to join? In this way, You no longer have to study hard and take exams, and you can start working a few years earlier than your classmates."

This may be a huge temptation for others. After all, martial arts is a way to become an official, but there are only a few people who succeed in the examination. Those who fail can only find another way out, but now he has been given a shortcut without any obstacles. , if he refuses, will he be considered ignorant, right?

When Sun Yu heard this, he opened his mouth.

However, Shi Peck glanced at him lightly, and he touched his nose and had to swallow his words again.

The power of Senior Brother cannot be challenged.

Xu Huaiyi lowered his head and twitched the corner of his mouth, what the hell is this endless? "Thank you for your respect, uncle, but I know how many jins and taels this disciple has. I don't deserve such praise from my uncle..."

"So, you still don't want to?"

"Yes, the disciple doesn't want to."

The atmosphere was suffocating, Shi Pei's face turned cold, and he asked with all his strength, "Why?"

Xu Huaiyi shouldered the pressure and said calmly, "Because being recommended to serve as an official and being promoted to an official through military examination are two completely different outcomes. Being recommended to become an official will certainly save you a lot of setbacks and risks, but in the future, The room for promotion is limited. No matter how hard a disciple works, he will always be a head lower than others based on his background. However, it is different to become an official in the martial arts examination. Depending on his own ability, no matter which department he works as a errand in, he can be confident and make contributions. You can also move up the ladder openly, be promoted to a higher position, and no one can criticize you."

Hearing this, Sun Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Haoran, who had been watching, also had a bit of a smile in his eyes.

But Shi Peck snorted, "Are you working as an errand just to get promoted?"

Xu Huaiyi blinked and said matter-of-factly, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

How can you be a human being without some pursuits and dreams?

Shi Peck, "..."

He choked, laughed angrily, turned to Sun Yu and said, "Look at the good disciple you have accepted."

Sun Yu said without any shame, "My apprentice is really good, and he is very popular with my junior brother."

Shi Peck, "..."

As expected of master and disciple, they are both shameless.

Liu Haoran laughed loudly at this time and said, "Okay, Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother has finally found a satisfactory apprentice. Don't be scared away. People call you Senior Uncle. Why don't you give me a meeting gift soon?"

As soon as he interrupted, the atmosphere relaxed.

Compared to Shi Pei, who was so cold and so cold, Liu Haoran was obviously much more approachable. He had the frankness and cheerfulness of a general in the army, but also the noble and elegant style of a prince. He wore a dark green brocade robe, tied around his waist. He was wearing a piece of white jade, his heroic eyebrows were raised, and he was looking at him with a smile.

Xu Huaiyi bowed respectfully and called "Uncle Master".

Liu Haoran did not make it difficult for him, he smiled and agreed, and readily gave him a meeting gift, which was a jade pendant tied around his waist. Even if Xu Huaiyi didn't know much about jade, he could still feel the extraordinary quality of this jade pendant.

Sure enough, Sun Yu said curiously, "You are quite generous."

Liu Haoran patted Xu Huaiyi on the shoulder, "You have good vision. You have found such a good apprentice and you have won my heart. It's just a piece of jade. How can he afford it?"

Sun Yu smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you can bear it."

After all, it was his apprentice who took advantage, so why wouldn't he want to?
