Chapter 24: Top Players in the Peak Martial Arts Competition
"What is this, Xia Kui?"
"This young master originally wanted to ask the farmer to do this!"
Seeing this, Ying Yuan hurriedly helped Nong Lin up and said, "Although I have only heard of the Nong family's righteousness, I admire it!"
"My long-cherished wish is the same as that of the farmers, that no one in the world will starve to death again!"
"Mr. Nong's heart is also my heart!"
After that, Ying Yuan gently patted the sweet potato in Nong Lin's hand and said, "Two meals a day, the fragrance of food is everywhere, those who are full should remember the pain of hunger!"
After saying this, Nong Lin's tears flowed down onto the sweet potatoes.
Then, he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve. The tension in his eyes made people want to laugh, but also feel respectable!
"Young Master is righteous!"
"It is a blessing for the farmers to submit to you, my Lord!"
Nong Lin spoke loudly, then stretched out his hand and scratched the wound on his forehead with his fingernails, causing more blood to flow.
Dipping his finger in blood, Nong Lin drew a line along the bridge of his nose and said, "I, Nong Lin, swear to Shennong that you are doing this for the sake of feeding the world, and the Nong family will be loyal to you forever!"
"If you break this oath, the Nong family will have no place in the world, and all gods and ghosts will hate you!"
Seeing the blood-soaked appearance, Ying Yuan was also stunned.
On the contrary, Xiang Licheng who was standing aside had shock in his eyes!
This is a blood oath!
The old farmer actually used a blood oath to express his loyalty to Gongzi Yuan?
"Mr. Nong, hey!"
Ying Yuan sighed, but gently patted Nong Lin's hand.
Before he knew it, he switched the name.
Less alienation, but more trust.
"Mr. Nong, take it back. You need to convince the farmer's son to make a decision."
"As for starting the planting, I will send someone to deliver the sweet potato seeds and grains. I will briefly explain some basic methods, and then you can improve them on your own."
Ying Yuan spoke softly.
Although Nong Lin swore a blood oath, Ying Yuan also knew that it would take time for the Nong family to integrate.
After all, Nonglin believes that the yield per mu can reach 2,000 kilograms, but will ordinary farmers' children have doubts?
As for these, time will prove it, and Ying Yuan is not going to push them too hard.
Nong Lin nodded with tears in his eyes. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly seemed to think of something: "Sir, there is something I may be a little abrupt about."
"What's the matter?"
Ying Yuan was also a little confused. Abrupt? How could it be more abrupt than you making your blood boil in front of me?
"Sir, I have observed that there is no real top master in your palace."
"Today, Young Master has brought out the divine food, and even a jerk like the old carpenter has surrendered to you. This is enough to show that you are more capable than what the outside world has said."
"Now that you have entered the court to observe government affairs, you will surely gradually show your talents. As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Your safety is of great concern to the people of the world."
"I would like to give you a gift, would you be willing to accept it?"
Hearing this, Ying Yuan looked a little unnatural.
It’s not that Nong Lin praised him too much. With his thick skin, even if you praised Ying Yuan as the best master in the world, he would accept it with a smile.
The main thing is, how can we expose the shortcomings of agriculture and forestry?
He never thought about building up his own power, so of course there are no experts around him!
"What Nong Lao meant was..."
Ying Yuan probably had guessed it, but he still deliberately asked.
There is no other way. When accepting gifts, one has to be polite, otherwise it will look embarrassing.
Nong Lin smiled slightly, patted the shoulder of the burly young man beside him and said, "Long Qie! From today on, you will protect the young master!"
"Young master, Long Ju is a man of great martial arts skills and absolutely reliable. With him protecting you, you will have no worries!" After saying this, Ying Yuan nodded with a smile. After all, he had already guessed Nong Lin's intention.
But then, Ying Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise!
and many more,
Long Qi? !!!
During the Chu-Han contention, who was the most powerful general who could truly rank at the top of the martial arts competition?
Apart from that unrivalled reckless man, this guy has never really lost in terms of fighting!
There are even rumors in later generations that when Long Ju was in the army, he was the exclusive sparring partner of the King of Western Chu!
The fact that he can serve as this guy's sparring partner is enough to show his fighting ability.
"Long Qie, hello, Master!"
Only at this point did Long Qie truly salute Ying Yuan!
He didn't perform the ceremony before because it was unnecessary, and he, Long Qie, would not treat powerful people any differently.
And now, his savior has spoken, that Young Master Yuan is the one he, Long Ju, wants to protect!
"Wait, Long Qie, do you know someone named Xiang Yu? No! Xiang Ji?"
Ying Yuan didn't dare to accept it directly. The most important thing was to ask a key question first.
"Xiang Ji seems to be from the same hometown. I heard that he is very strong. I have wanted to fight him many times, but I can't find him."
Long Qie scratched his head and actually remembered this person.
But it is true that we have never met.
Hearing this, Ying Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he grew up in the Xianyang Palace, so he could tell whether Long Ju was lying or not.
Besides, don’t employ people you doubt, and don’t doubt people you employ!
"Long Qie, from today on, you will follow me."
Ying Yuan laughed and slapped Long Qie on the back.
Although it was just a thin cloth shirt, Ying Yuan felt as if he was hitting a stone.
This even made him a little discouraged!
Wow, it turns out that being a strong general really has to be a natural gift!
"okay!"
Long Qie grinned, and his originally majestic face actually looked a little honest.
As for etiquette, there is indeed no etiquette at all.
Seeing this, Nong Lin and Xiang Licheng looked at each other, and the former said softly: "Old carpenter, you still have a sharp eye!"
Xiang Licheng chuckled and said, "Old farmer, you are not bad for being a stubborn old man! Why, you are not stubborn this time?"
Nong Lin curled his lips, his beard stood up on one side: "How stubborn! Young Master Hongyuan, I am a little short-sighted and cannot see the whole picture, but I am not a fool! The birth of the divine grain will bring good luck to Shenzhou! If you don't follow, I'm afraid that Shennong will beat me in my dreams at night!"
After the two of them finished talking, they smiled at each other again!
Both the Nong and Mo families served under Master Yuan.
And they knew even more clearly that this young man was not as the rumors said, but was a man of extraordinary talent.
loyalty,
It’s their only choice!
The Mohists have made clear the path, and Gongzi Yuan will show them the way forward in the future.
The farmers, on the other hand, know about the existence of the divine grain, and they will take steps to realize their dream of eliminating hunger in the world.
With such a wonderful future, what else could they both think of?
"My lord, I am well."
"Zhao Gao, the Imperial Chariot Officer, requests to see you, young master!"
At this moment, a slightly sinister voice sounded from outside the hall.
It’s about to be put on the shelves. As a humble author, I would like to ask all readers to subscribe.
Every bit of your support is very important to me!
Love you guys, kiss!
