Chapter 32: The Arrival of the Old Man
The prime minister's house in the deep winter seems to be particularly quiet.
The guests who originally liked to wander around hide in the room to avoid the cold. As for those servants, they are secretly warming their hands.
There is only the sound of cold wind linger in the prime minister's mansion.
In Li Yinru's room, Jiang Shengtian sat by the bed and gently put his back of his hand on Li Yinru's forehead.
"Well... I've retreated seven or eight times." Jiang Shengtian was slightly relieved, but he looked at Li Yinru and opened his eyes blankly. His spirit seemed to be still wandering thousands of miles away, and his heart was inevitably painful.
Sister Ping took a towel and handed it to Jiang Shengtian. Jiang Shengtian carefully spread it on Li Yinru's forehead. But Li Yinru was still unmoved, as if her whole body had been exhausted. She lay softly in **, wrapped in a thick quilt, and then didn't think about it or cry.
"Sister Ping, take good care of her." Looking at Li Yinru, who was lightless for a long time, Jiang Shengtian finally stood up. After all, he still had important things to do, and he couldn't stay with her for a while.
Sister Ping nodded vigorously. Jiang Shengtian walked to the door, looked back at Li Yinru, and sighed heavily.
"Your Excellency." Jiang Shengtian nod respectfully. Li Linfu was looking for books in the bookshelf, and then suddenly reacted to Jiang Shengtian's arrival.
Sitting down in front of the case, Li Linfu looked at Jiang Shengtian and realized that he was not looking well today, so he pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong? Shouldn't it be infected by Yinru's wind and cold?"
Jiang Shengtian shook his head quickly, "The Prime Minister is careful, but there are many things to deal with recently, and there is not enough time to rest. It's okay."
Li Linfu picked up a brush and wrote on the paper. His eyes focused on the paper and did not look at Jiang Shengtian. "I know that my daughter's business is bothering you."
"No bother." Jiang Shengtian said politely.
"You are the only person in the whole house who is the best friends with Yinru." Li Linfu said, Jiang Shengtian's heart was inexplicable after hearing this, and a cold sweat appeared on his neck.
Li Linfu put the brush back on the pen holder, picked up the letter he had just written with both hands, read it carefully, and continued, "You said, how nice it would be if the one my daughter loved was not Chen Rufeng, but you!"
Jiang Shengtian's eyes changed greatly, and his voice, who had always been calm, also trembled at this time, "No... dare not, how can I be as a grassy as Miss Li?"
Li Linfu glanced at him, sneered, and said, "I called you this time about the guests in the house. You told me last time that you had an idea, but let you go back and think about it. I don't know what you think?
When it comes to business, Jiang Shengtian's look suddenly returned to normal. "Since Prime Minister Jin Yilai was kicked out of the prime minister's house, no one can carry the flag. Now many of the guests are eating the rice of our prime minister's house for nothing and wasting the property of the prime minister's house, so we must streamline the guests. Sweeping those who have not made much contribution out of the prime minister's mansion and find some capable people to come back.
After listening to Jiang Shengtian's words, Li Linfu frowned and thought down, but simply said "um" and did not say much.
Jiang Shengtian continued: "I have a candidate in my mind for a long time, who should stay and who should leave. House guests can't only be heavy, but also heavy quality. Even dozens of mediocre hands are not as good as two or three top masters. Among them, I believe that the Prime Minister is also an actuarial person and will not understand.
Li Linfu smiled with satisfaction and handed the letter he had just written to Jiang Shengtian. Jiang Shengtian took it in both hands and looked at Li Linfu in a surprised way.
This letter is about the dismissal of the guests.
"Who do you think should leave? Use this letter to tell them." Li Linfu said with a smile.
Jiang Shengtian didn't expect that Li Linfu could predict his idea early, or did he think about doing this early in the morning?
He secretly glanced at Li Linfu, and Jiang Shengtian put the letter in his arms and withdrew it.
A drastic reform has been set off in the prime minister's mansion, which is aimed at those cumbersome government guests. All the guests were expelled from the prime minister's house and left with a burden on their backs.
At the same time, the Prime Minister announced that it would recruit a group of talents from all over the world to accept a group of new masters to become government guests. Many famous scholars have come to the high interests of the Prime Minister's Mansion and use their unique skills, hoping to be favored by the Prime Minister.
Soon, the guest lineup of the whole prime minister's mansion took on a new look. Except for Ye Zhihang, the first master, almost all the others were replaced. Li Linfu was extremely satisfied with this and felt that his fist in his hand was a few inches bigger.
In the fortress of the Tianfeng Gang.
Chen Rufeng eagerly tore open the letter sent by the World League. After reading it, he suddenly showed joy and almost danced and shouted, "It's over! Our Tianfeng Gang can hold the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall!"
Hu Jiuwei, Liu Hong, Chai Yuanlang and others also rushed over when they heard the news and looked at the letters written by Ze Kunyun. Sure enough, Tianfeng Gang was selected to hold this Jianghu event.
"Quick! We are going to start preparing now!" Chen Rufeng said excitedly that in the end, Ze Kunyun still handed over the right to hold the event in his hands. Chen Rufeng was very grateful to Ze Kunyun's trust in him.
So, the whole Tianfeng Gang began to prepare intensively, and half of the gang's personnel were about to go to Luoyang.
"Han...Mr. Bai, are you back?" Han Ling, wearing a mask, elegantly walked into the hall, shook the fan in his hand, and looked at the busy helpers walking around with a smile. Chen Rufeng was commanding them in an orderly manner and took over the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall. The tasks of arranging the venue, the arrangement of the martial arts competition, and registration fell on their shoulders.
Seeing that Chen Rufeng was very busy, Han Ling nod knowingly, "I'll wait for you in my room."
"Yes! Take this with you too! ...What?" Chen Rufeng was stunned, and Han Ling's back had disappeared in the hall.
"Brother Han is really a matter of expectation. I know I have something to ask him!"
After barely doing everything, Chen Rufeng went to Han Ling's room and knocked on the door politely.
"Come in."
Chen Rufeng opened the door, and Han Ling wore masks in his room and was extremely cautious.
"Brother Han." Chen Rufeng nodded as a greeting. There was no one else in the room, and Chen Rufeng no longer had to call him Mr. Boubai.
Han Ling poured a cup of tea, but just rubbed it in the palm of his hand and said with a faint smile, "How about it? You have taken over the right to host the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall, right?
Chen Rufeng said modestly, "All Lai Ze and Kunyun League leaders are just appreciating. I hope that this Qingshi Martial Arts Hall can be held successfully and add to my prestige. Brother Han, I know that you are the leader of the last Qingshiwu Hall, so I would like to ask you what is worth noting.
Han Ling smiled. Since Chen Rufeng said so, he told him some rules of the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall.
"Qingshiwu Hall, all young talented people in the world can sign up, but they must be selected, and the gangs of the world alliance can directly make a place for each gang and enter the final competition without selection. In the end, a total of 32 people came to compete for the first title of Qingshi Martial Arts Hall. Therefore, people who are not affiliated with the League will suffer some losses and have to pass the selection of many people to advance.
Hearing Han Ling's words, Chen Rufeng nodded thoughtfully, "This means that we have to have a competition before the official Qingshi Martial Arts Hall is held?"
"Yes. On that day, I was not a gang under the League of the World, so I also participated in the selection. Among the more than 100 people, I was lucky to become one of the 16 people who stood out.
"Brother Han has the strength, which is well-deed." Chen Rufeng said. At this moment, the corners of his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure outside the door, and suddenly shouted fiercely, "Who is eavesdropping?"
Han Ling laughed and grabbed it in the void, and a gravitational force broke through the door, tied the man outside the door like a ribbon wrapped around his waist, and pulled it over fiercely.
"Ouch! Gently... Han Hermit, don't work so hard!" Ling Xiaoyu lay on the ground and moaned, and the energy around his waist was retracted to his palm with a wave of Han Ling's hand.
Since he can call Han Hermit, it is obvious that he has heard all the conversation between the two just now. Chen Rufeng grabbed him and asked, "Who let you eavesdrop at the door?"
Ling Xiaoyu smiled tremblingly and said, "Master, I'm just passing by, passing by, hehe..."
He looked at Han Ling, who was smiling faintly, and showed his begging for mercy: "Oh, there are a lot of Han hermits, and I will never talk about your identity!"
When Han Ling saw Ling's words, he said to Chen Rufeng, "Let him go, since he has said so."
Chen Rufeng stared at him fiercely, as if he had put down a hanging turtle on the ground, and added a warning: "Don't listen again."
Ling Xiaoyu grabbed her ears and looked guilty. She smiled and said, "It must be! So since I have listened to the first half, let me listen to the second part here!" As he spoke, he rudely brought a chair over and sat down.
Chen Rufeng snorted coldly, "That's all. Anyway, I'm going to choose you as the candidate to participate in the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall this time. It's good for you to listen here."
Ling Xiaoyu's smile suddenly stiffened, stared at Chen Rufeng with disbelief, and pointed her finger at herself, "Me? Did you ask me to participate in the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall?
"Yes. That day, I have seen your strength in Gufu, and I am absolutely qualified to participate in the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall. Chen Rufeng said lightly.
"No!" Ling Xiaoyu acted coquettishly like a child, "Although I'm really young, those people in the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall are serious. I'm afraid that I will be killed by them if I'm not careful!"
Chen Rufeng did not know him on the first day. He turned what he said into a breeze in his ear and ignored his strong opposition at all.
"Lord!" At this time, a gang suddenly came to the door and reported, "There is a person outside asking for a meeting! He said it was your old friend!"
