Chapter 122 Let's Talk About Flower Seeds (Chapter 13)
"Sir, don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of letting me intervene in the Chuyun Bureau." The old dean saw Zhang Nan's suspicion and said directly: "I know that Concubine Liu wants to use the order to lead Mr. to the game, and I also know that the prince invited Mr. today. But the purpose of my invitation is different from that of him."
The old dean paused and said sincerely: "I am very simple in my goal, I am just worried about the safety of the prince, so I want to ask the escort of the gentleman."
Zhang Nan laughed in silence: "The old president is really good at telling jokes. How noble the prince is, how can there be a lack of guards around him? If the old president does not trust others, isn't that father-in-law a suitable person just now?"
"Sir, it's really extraordinary." A glimmer of light flashed in the old dean's eyes: "My old friend has touched the path of Great Perfection when he practices "Xuanwu Zhenxue". Anyone who sees him will only consider him an ordinary eunuch, but Mr. can see through it."
Zhang Nan smiled but said nothing, and his appearance rose slowly.
No matter what the purpose of this old dean is, Zhang Nan will definitely go there. But it must be seen that it must be pushed again and again.
"My old friend and I are not convenient to leave the mountain, and the strong people around the prince have many old grievances with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there are many inconveniences to accompany him." The old dean said: "As for Concubine Liu and the prince offend the gentleman, I can send someone to scold and correct him, and the resentment in Mr. Yiping's heart."
"Those are okay, Zhang is not worried about this matter." Zhang Nandao. "Zhang is just strange. The prince of Chu Yun Kingdom cannot protect Zhou Quan even if he is a predecessor. Even the current Wei Wu Kingdom cannot send a powerful person in the fifth realm to assassinate him."
Zhang Nan is really skeptical about this.
There is a bottom line in struggle. Whether it is a war between the two countries or a civil strife in the party, there are very few assassinations. The most important thing in Zhongzhou is warriors. If you kill me and I kill you, the court will be in chaos and everyone will be in danger. Weaker forces may still be in the middle of the line, but the stronger the power, the stronger the warriors will follow this bottom line when they go on dates.
Hearing Zhang Nan’s doubts, the old dean seemed to be a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, “Mr., but I am a little concealed. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty is weak, the Southern Tang Martial Arts Academy really has some background. When they came last year, they lost some face. This year, the prince went on a visit. After all, under the banner of the Martial Arts Academy, if there is no one here in the market, it would be a bit embarrassing.”
Zhang Nan understood and thoughtlessly.
Although the old dean has never shown his background, 90% of the royal family cannot be separated from the royal family. This person is simply the same as the emperor Chu Yun, a certain emperor. Otherwise, the palace and servants would not be able to be found with a high level, which is a taboo.
If a person with this status wants to intervene in the court, there is no need to pass Zhang Nan. It is the prince's business for the prince to negotiate with others, but the old president cares more about the reputation of the Martial Arts Academy. In a sense, the Martial Arts Academy represents Chu Yun's national strength. This trip is to ask for others, and no matter whether it is public or private, he will not be willing to be looked down upon by a small country.
What the old dean said in the story is that there must be an old pervert in the Southern Tang Wushu Academy. Most people will definitely not be able to stop the scene. Chu Yun’s fifth-level powerhouse cannot be easily released, so Zhang Nan is asked to help pretend to be a thug.
As for academic exchanges, it is definitely different from the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If you are too weak, you will easily be slapped in the face. It is okay to participate in this kind of risk-free scene. It is also a field that Zhang Nan is good at. When exchanges between countries, it is impossible for a five-level strongman to compete with each other. If you force yourself, it is almost equivalent to the founding war.
"I should take the liberty when I know this, so naturally I won't let Mr. Hunting for nothing." Seeing Zhang Nan seemingly moved, the old dean hurriedly said: "If Mr. Hun is willing to work hard, my reward will satisfy Mr. Hun."
"Zhang is a casual person and does not pretentiously with the old dean." Zhang Nan pretended to be deeply thinking for a while, and said generously: "Let's do this, Zhang will go to Nan Tang and his party."
Three Treasure Heart Lotus Seeds, a warrior under the three realms, eating one will improve the realm. Zhang Nanzheng was worried about the slowness of the two hosts. Now that he has the opportunity, he must speak loudly.
The old dean was really speechless when he heard this request.
The flower seeds of the Three Treasure Heart Lotus!!! Ten!!!
That is not a sunflower, just pick it up and you can get a handful of seeds. The seeds of the Three Treasure Heart Lotus cannot be picked casually, otherwise it will hurt the root of the flower. The Martial Arts Academy collects flower seeds when they are naturally ripe and fall off. The specific probability of falling is about ten years. Zhang Nan opens his mouth and needs a hundred years of inventory.
"This..." The old dean coughed, touched his beard and said, "There are not many seeds of the Three Treasure Heart Lotus, so I'm afraid I can't take out ten."
"Oh." Zhang Nan asked: "Where are there many? Nine ones are OK."
The old dean almost pulled his beard off.
"Flower seeds are really not easy to deal with." The old dean had heard some rumors about Zhang Nan, but now he knew that the rumors were true, so he simply said directly: "Sir, let's change your request."
"That's how..." Zhang Nan seemed worried: "But Zhang really didn't want anything else."
"The secular things are naturally not in the eyes of the teacher, but I believe that other aspects can satisfy the teacher." The old dean guided earnestly: "For example, the top-grade martial arts or spiritual weapons and talismans, the teacher always needs it..."
"Those are not urgent." Zhang Nan only wants to develop a host faster. He may not lose money now if he wants a martial spirit weapon, but he may be somewhat suspicious of killing a chicken to get eggs.
"Otherwise..." Zhang Nan thought of a solution: "If the old dean admires me, what if I let me enter the inner courtyard? Zhang has been famous for Chuyun's inner courtyard for a long time. He came in to look at it today and wanted to understand it for a while."
The old dean was silent.
As long as I think of the bald medicine garden, the old dean feels a little tooth pain. Just the apprentice comes in, it’s like this. If the master comes in, it’s a small matter... It’s a small matter if the medicine garden is bald, and it’s a fatal thing if the three treasures are bald.
The old dean finally said slowly: "Let's talk about flower seeds."
After some bargaining, four flower seeds were finally agreed to hire Zhang Nan to protect the prince to visit Nan Tang.
Watching Zhang Nan leave the palace, the old dean's expression was quite complicated.
The seeds of the four Three Treasure Heart Lotus are not enough to describe as precious. If they are taken out, gold and silver will definitely not be able to buy them. However, it is already cheap to hire "strong men" like Zhang Nan.
Any strong man above the Five Realms, if there is no special reason, how many people would be willing to do a bodyguard? So for the old dean, Zhang Nan took on this job to sell the favors of Chu Yun Martial Arts Academy, or even the favors of Chu Yun Kingdom. Flower seeds can be measured by value, but human favors are hard to describe. What's more, the old dean wants Zhang Nan to help do more than this.
"Old master, I'm confused." The old eunuch walked into the palace and couldn't help but say, "Zhang Nan doesn't seem to know the existence of that person. If you make such a request, it's equivalent to giving him a message. When he finds the truth, he will probably come back to find bad luck."
"He won't." The old dean shook his head: "Although Zhang Nan's origin is mysterious, he looks like a flamboyant person in Shoujing, but in fact he has hidden standards and rules. He is a person who values righteousness. When he goes to the Southern Tang Dynasty, it seems to be for Chu Yun, but in fact it is also related to the interests of the human race. When he sees that person, even if he has some resentment towards me, he can tell the difference in his heart."
The old eunuch thought for a while and said, "Since the old master has made arrangements, should the old slave go and explain to the emperor and King Liang?"
"No need." The old dean sighed: "The main reason for their plan is in the court. Even if the goals of my husband overlap, it is not the same path. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, I should abide by the ancestral teachings and not interfere with them. It just made Shengrui's child suffer and was kept in the dark by our group of immortals. When I learn the truth in the future, I will inevitably feel resentful."
"The prince is too gentle, it is right to be beaten." The old eunuch looked at the old dean carefully: "Isn't your majesty now, and even the previous few, come here like this?"
The old dean smiled bitterly: "I'm so old, it's hard to have the same cruelty as before. If I hadn't been out of this palace, I really don't want him to take risks. Although that person has cultivated his character in recent decades, it's still hard to feel at ease."
"You can rest assured that you have already invited Zhang Nan." The old eunuch laughed and said, "First, he easily suppressed the Beiling Tiger King, and then he even crushed the old ghost of Xuefeng on his soul. Faced with such a person, even that person in his heyday would have to give in. With Zhang Nan here, this trip to the Southern Tang Dynasty would be at most safe."
"That tiger is nothing, but if you can rely on your soul, you will be defeated by your ghost, which is beyond your reach." The old dean nodded slightly. "If Sheng Rui is destined to be able to make friends with Zhang Nan, Chu Yun Kingdom will also have some support in the future."
The old eunuch's expression froze and said awkwardly: "The prince should try it, as long as you don't go in the wrong direction."
The old dean seemed to have thought of something, his cheeks twitched for a moment, and murmured in comfort: "Now he is deeply trapped in the illusion of fighting for the throne, and his mind should have matured a lot. Besides, facing Zhang Nan and other powerful people, he should be able to hold on..."
"Well, it should be fine." The old eunuch's eyes were vague, as if he didn't look very confident.
