If Xiao Chenxuan wanted to get a master for free, Han Zeyu would definitely not agree.
But if he is willing to spend a lot of money to become my disciple, that would be a different matter.
Could it be that God had mercy on him and, seeing that he failed to "recruit" him, sent him a great disciple instead?
Everything is destined, so why fight against fate? Otherwise, he should just accept it.
Seeing that Han Zeyu's attitude had softened, Xiao Chenxuan immediately stepped up and took the banknote back.
Take it back, he takes it back, eh? Why can't he take it back?
Han Zeyu instinctively grabbed a corner of the banknote. How could he go back the same way when the money was right in front of him?
Young man, I advise you not to be too angry.
Hey, hey, hey, why are you still trying to grab it back?
Xiao Chenxuan seemed to understand his hidden meaning, let go of the banknote and stopped pulling.
This was not the end. Xiao Chenxuan knelt down again and kowtowed solemnly: "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings. Please accept me as your disciple!"
Han Zeyu was holding the silver bills, with Xiao Chenxuan kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhou Yi staring in amazement not far away, Eunuch Wang who was puzzled, and the emperor who was watching the fun.
"Actually, you should think it over carefully before..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Chenxuan interrupted him: "Once a teacher, always a father. I will learn my skills well and work hard to earn more money to honor my master."
Han Zeyu threw the banknotes on the table and helped his beloved disciple up with both hands.
"Dragons and tigers fight against each other, and the flower of the other shore is in great danger. Your master promises you a home. Come with me, and we'll set off at dawn. The nightmare has ended, and you don't have to be afraid."
Xiao Chenxuan kowtowed three times and praised sincerely, "Master, you have great literary talent."
Han Zeyu was very moved and quickly helped the man up, telling him not to kneel down at every turn after recovering from a serious illness.
What a dramatic drama of affection between a master and his disciple, which left Zhou Yi stunned.
If he had the awareness of the young prince back then, why would he have taken so many detours for so many years?
Wouldn't it have been better if I had just given him all the banknotes when we first met at the mass grave?
Zhou Yi, you are confused!
Han Zeyu's arms were bulging with gifts from his disciples.
"Come on, I will teach you. I guarantee you will reach level one in three days. As long as the money is in place, I can guarantee you will reach level two in a month."
Xiao Chenxuan had a smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding. He had used all the savings he had accumulated for more than ten years to pay for tuition, and he didn't know if he could learn anything useful.
Han Zeyu was full of confidence and was determined to make his beloved disciple feel that the product was worth the money, and he would never give him a chance to get a refund as he was underage.
Sixteen years old is not young anymore, he could be a father in ancient times.
In order to demonstrate his strength, Han Zeyu took his apprentice to the training ground and started emergency teaching mode.
The emperor enjoyed this melodramatic drama and felt relieved.
He firmly believed that as long as Han Zeyu was in charge, the dilemma of this catastrophe could be easily resolved.
"Go to the Ministry of Rites and urge them to prepare the sacrificial utensils tonight."
Eunuch Wang accepted the order and was about to leave when he was stopped again.
"The Imperial Household Department should also go there and have them make a set of sacrificial robes overnight, making them as gorgeous as possible."
Eunuch Wang understood that this was prepared for that gentleman to wear, so he must not be careless.
While being extremely busy, the teaching results are remarkable.
Han Zeyu was very satisfied. He felt that it was worthwhile to have this disciple. He was a perfect example of what it meant to be gifted and intelligent.
There is an ancient altar in the palace, not far from the martial arts field.
Han Zeyu knew that that would be his main battlefield tomorrow.
Seeing a bunch of people coming in and out, carrying things, and not knowing what they were busy with, I couldn't help but be curious and went over to take a look.
The result is truly captivating, this scale, this grandeur, this ancient and mysterious aura...
The white marble steps were stained with frost, and the cracks were embedded with gold foil with the reign titles of successive emperors of this dynasty. The blood-red cinnabar was faintly visible in the worn areas of the jade steps.
Twelve square tripods are placed regularly around the altar, and in the center of the altar is a vivid Tai Chi diagram.
Han Zeyu didn't understand these things, but just by watching from a distance, he could feel the shock coming at him.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, civil and military officials inside and outside the capital took action.
The people listened to the orders of the officers and soldiers and gave them half an hour to pack their luggage.
Each person can only bring one bag, which includes identification documents, property deeds, money, and simple clothing.
The common people are not fools. They can still feel the changes in recent days. Therefore, when the government sends people to notify them, most people cooperate very well.
Han Zeyu transferred the people from the East City Inn to Qianlai Villa, and Miss Tian, who was pregnant, was also taken there in advance.
As an official appointed by the imperial court, Su Yunsong cannot leave his post without permission. With his wife taking refuge in the villa, he can concentrate on his work.
After breakfast, Han Zeyu looked at the gorgeous sacrificial robe in front of him and touched it in a daze.
While reminding himself that only charlatans wear these, he couldn't help but try them on himself.
Why is the outer garment worn by a priest so beautiful? It must be worth a lot of money, right?
Eunuch Wang breathed a sigh of relief. What a blessing! This was exactly what he wanted. Our emperor is so wise!
…
The moss beside the well had an oily sheen, and the well water that was clear last night was now turbid.
The people who had evacuated their houses gathered together and ate two-grain steamed buns, which were distributed by the officials, one for each person, and they were quite delicious.
After eating and drinking enough, people's panic will be greatly reduced.
It was already late autumn, but the weather was as hot as a steamer, with not a single breeze.
Coupled with the resentment of not being able to return home, I still feel a little irritated.
The dark grey clouds gradually descended, and a group of sparrows on the tree suddenly flapped their wings and circled upwards at high speed.
Dozens of gray shadows spun rapidly in the air and then dived back.
After the Ministry of Rites completed the sacrificial procedures, Han Zeyu, wearing a gorgeous floor-length robe and a golden mask, slowly stepped onto the jade steps under the gaze of a group of officials and sat on the Bagua diagram in the center of the altar.
In this oppressive atmosphere, the officials only dared to steal glances at the white figure on the altar, but did not dare to talk to each other.
The current emperor was sitting not far from the altar, with Zhou Yi and Tie Dongming standing behind him, and Xiao Chenxuan and Eunuch Wang beside him. They were all his loyal confidants who were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect him.
At three quarters after noon, the flags around the altar were originally swaying slightly, but at a certain moment they suddenly rose up.
At the same time, the bronze plate in the ceremonial officer's hand made a buzzing sound, and the porcelain lamp in the plate exploded.
Fragments scattered everywhere, and exclamations came from the crowd one after another.
Han Zeyu placed his palm on the ground. The vibration in his hand and the rumbling sound like thunder coming from the ground reminded him that the earth dragon was turning over and a catastrophe was about to come.
