Chapter 450 Grand View Garden Faction Battle 7
"I'm starting to worry about Mingzhu and Tong Guowei..."
Looking at Suo'etu, who was beaming with pride and proclaiming "Explosions are art," Yin Zhi couldn't help but murmur.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi remained silent for a while, and couldn't help but worry about his ministers. Songgotu was already reckless, and now with the bombs involved...
The thought of the scene that might unfold in the court, with civil and military officials arguing and Suo'etu dropping bombs in one hand, filled Kangxi with a sense of crisis.
"Bao Cheng, compile and promulgate the previous laws regarding player behavior as soon as possible."
"yes."
Yinreng nodded, understanding Kangxi's concerns. To be honest, he felt a little guilty and touched. He suspected that Suo'etu had chosen this course to help his "great cause."
But then I thought, there's no way to know the specific course content before it starts. Who could possibly tell from the four characters "Six Arts of a Gentleman" that this is a bombshell course?
So, actually, Suo'etu and bombs are a very good match.
Seeing Suo'etu getting more and more energetic with each explosion, Yinreng fell silent. He thought that his understanding of his great-uncle was probably too superficial, and he couldn't see how "passionate" he was.
...
After avoiding the Golden Cup and Silver Terrace, Yinzhen and his entourage finally met Yinsi and Lin Daiyu.
"Eighth Brother!"
"Little Eight!"
"Lin Daiyu!"
"Sister Lin!"
Yinzhi and Yinzhen surrounded Yinsi, while Yingchun and Xichun surrounded Lin Daiyu.
Suo'etu and Jia Cong, outside the crowd: ...
The two looked at each other, trying to find something to talk about to ease the awkwardness. But when Jia Cong saw Suo'etu, he reflexively covered his head; before he even left the ground, his head was already spinning.
"..." Soetu looked up at the sky, silence is golden, silence is golden.
"It's getting late, shouldn't we find a place to hide?"
When Yinzhi got down to business, Suo'etu and Jia Cong subtly squeezed into the crowd.
Looking at the dim sky, Yinzhen frowned slightly: "Xiao Ba is right. I have a feeling that something bad will happen when it gets dark."
Yinzhi scratched his head: "Is this going to be a battle royale?"
Thinking back to his first experience in the game, Suo'etu froze, reluctant to recall his embarrassing moment. But then he thought, he's not the same person he was back then; he'll blow up anyone who comes his way!
"hey-hey……"
Seeing Suo'etu suddenly laugh, the group of people were all stunned and confused.
Yinzhen calmly explained, "Relax, all art students are like this."
"Cough cough..." Soetu came to his senses and coughed twice in embarrassment, trying to cover it up. Naturally, he did not notice what Yinzhen said.
In the eyes of others, it would be as if he had acknowledged Yinzhen's words.
A hint of pity arose in the eyes of the crowd; they understood—he had gone mad with studying.
Thinking about how Yinzhen had dealt with the enemy before, and looking at Suo'etu like this, Xichun felt timid. Maybe she should give up learning to paint?
Where are we going?
Jia Cong thought that although Suo'etu had escorted him all the way, it was indeed for his own good. So he rarely spoke up and changed the subject for him.
Upon hearing this question, everyone looked at each other. They were unsure what would happen that night, making it difficult to devise a suitable strategy.
“Let’s go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion,” Yinzhi suggested. “There are basic protective measures there.”
No one objected, and they followed the group to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. They were stunned when they saw the lush bamboo that covered most of the courtyard.
"Is this basic protection?"
Looking at the bamboo groves dancing wildly in place like drunkards, Yinzhi asked incredulously, "The plants in Xiaoxiang Pavilion didn't attack you?"
"Plants can attack people?" Soetu asked immediately.
Yinzhi first answered Yinti's question: "They attacked, but were later bribed. Thinking of the safe accommodations mentioned in the previous mission, I paid some life-giving soil to hire them as guards for Xiaoxiang Pavilion."
"I see." Yinzhi suddenly realized that there was such a way to play, and suddenly felt a little sorry for the plants that he had killed with his simple and crude counterattack.
If I had known, he would have kept them as guards. Even without the life-giving soil, he could have been coerced or bribed.
Yinzhen then helped answer Suo'etu's question: "Our mission requires us to deal with the plant attacks in the courtyard before we can be considered to have truly moved in successfully. Isn't it the same for you?"
Suo'etu nodded: "It seems the tasks are somewhat different. My task is to persuade Jia She to give Jia Cong a courtyard, and that will be the end of it."
Sensing the difference, Yinzhen added, "So your mission didn't start with a courtyard. The three of us all have specific addresses, so it seems that even though it's the same mission, the difficulties will be different."
Soetu kept this in mind, then looked up at Yinzhi thoughtfully: "I have an idea. Do you think plants are willing to move?"
The group looked at each other, gradually becoming interested.
With Cui Zhu guarding them, Yinzhi and his companions felt at ease leaving Lin Daiyu and the other three at Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Then they split into four groups and headed out in different directions.
"Have you heard about the Xiaoxiang Pavilion's job openings?"
"Specially recruited plant guardians with outstanding ranged attack capabilities, excellent defensive abilities, or other special skills..."
"Relocation will include a free soil package as a resettlement allowance, and outstanding performers will receive additional rewards..."
"Song'etu is good."
Watching the live stream, where the four men, under Suo'etu's guidance, used "living soil" to fool one plant guardian after another, Kangxi couldn't help but nod in approval.
"It's mainly because the eighth brother is exceptionally capable."
There was no intention of favoritism; Yinreng genuinely believed this. Without Yinsi's life-giving soil, no matter how eloquently Suo'etu spoke, he couldn't have fooled these living plants.
Upon considering that Bao Cheng had chosen Yin Si over Suo'etu, Kangxi had a sudden thought and blurted out, "Between Xiao Ba and me, Bao Cheng, who do you choose?"
"Father, why don't you rest for a while?"
Yinreng remained silent, staring at Kangxi until his eyes darted away, before slowly speaking.
The other onlookers couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief.
He probably really hadn't rested well. When he came to his senses, Kangxi closed his eyes dejectedly. Good heavens, what was he saying! Where was the emperor's dignity?!
"I haven't finished reviewing today's memorials yet, I'll be going out for a while."
After Kangxi finished speaking, he got up and walked outside. His posture was firm, but his steps were slightly hurried.
Yin blinked regretfully. His father was gone, and he was missing a human-shaped backrest. His gaze swept around, and Yin smiled sweetly at Yinqi: "Fifth Brother, Father is gone. I'll watch with you. Anyway, they've all gathered."
"Sure."
Yinqi agreed without much thought. Then Yin jumped off the chair, rushed to Yinqi's side, and unceremoniously squeezed into the same chair with him, adjusting his posture and comfortably leaning against Yinqi.
"Tenth Brother, there's a seat over there."
"Too far away, can't see clearly."
"Oh." Completely fooled and forgetting that he could watch the live stream himself, Yinqi agreed.
The remaining people looked at each other, suppressing their laughter and saying nothing.
Who says the tenth brother is stupid? When it comes to enjoying life, the tenth brother is much more clever than the eldest brother.
Yin is equivalent to 2 Yin Zhi, and Yin Qi is equivalent to 1.5 Yin Zhi, so it is perfectly reasonable that Yin Qi was fooled by Yin.
