Chapter 51: The Seat of Glory
"Great job, brother!"
Ye Huan hadn't even had time to return the courtesy when, with a crash, it was as if someone had poured a basin of boiling water on his back. Amidst the scorching heat, Feng's wings grew wildly.
This is the ninth prince of the First Empire of the West, being worshipped by him, and also witnessed by a generation of school principals and a deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Military Department. What an honor! Moreover, the Ninth Prince represents not only one person, but his branch of imperial power, including the 700,000-strong army under Gries' command!
"Brother, Dandan can't help but compose a poem... Ah, your strength has increased so suddenly, Dandan's chrysanthemum is tight, tight, tight..."
"Shut up and don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Huan also felt it, the Wind Wing almost couldn't hold back, piercing through his clothes and revealing itself. Then, he put on a serious face, a sacred aura appearing on his face, and lightly tapped Xue Xi's forehead, "Dàn Gē bestows blessings upon you, Lord Xue Xi!"
"Praise the holy spirit of Dan!"
Xue Xi got up excitedly, but just as Ye Huan was helping him, he whispered a sentence, "Master, if it weren't for the rule that royal family members cannot participate in sectarian disputes, I would definitely join the Salvation Sect!"
"I understand this!" The future emperor must not join the Salvationists, otherwise the entire country's political system will change, and Ye Huan is very clear about this.
"However..." The Ninth Prince continued with the second half of his sentence, "I am willing to acknowledge the Grandmaster as my master. When I become Emperor in the future, the Grandmaster will be a Master of the Imperial Court!"
At this time, others also came to greet Ye Huan. Xue Xi took the opportunity to raise his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, I have met Mr. Ye for the first time, and I have already taken him as my master. Please give me a chance to talk to my teacher in private! Besides, I have prepared a campsite ahead of us, please follow me, and let's escort our teacher together!"
As he spoke, he led his unicorn over and knelt down beside the stirrup.
"Your Highness, what are you doing!" Gries couldn't have imagined that the Ninth Prince would welcome Ye Huan in such a manner!
"Hey, hey, hey, who's going to take care of brother's mood? Brother must be dizzy..." Bai Xiaobai was frightened and turned around dizzily.
"Wow, wow, boss, you are my Adolf's idol!"
"Your Highness, what's going on..."
Ye Huan was himself stunned, his eyes wide with wonder. He bowed to the emperor's teacher, then led the horse and carriage, respectfully welcoming the great wise man. Could such a thing really happen to him?
That's right, the ninth prince's action is to welcome Ye Huan on horseback and lead the way for him!
"The teacher is a descendant of the Yan and Huang Emperors, so I naturally have to follow the customs of the Yan and Huang people to show respect!"
The ninth prince smiled slightly, helped Ye Huan onto the unicorn horse, and then, under the stunned and shocked gaze of everyone, he actually led Ye Huan's mount away, and with the camp tens of kilometers away, he would have to lead the horse for at least a few hours!
Yehuan was convinced!
"Your Highness..." Just now being tested by Gu Yi, Ye Huan still had some resentment in her heart and opened her mouth to tease him a couple of sentences.
"The teacher doesn't need to say more, Xixi understands in her heart!" The Ninth Prince's frankness was also surprising. "Gu Yizhang was invited by me to test the teacher, and there is only one reason - I couldn't trust the teacher just because of someone's words!" He smiled, "But now I believe it, the teacher's divination skills are unparalleled in the world, even ghosts and gods can't fathom them. You deserve the title of the greatest prophet of this generation!"
"Your Highness is too polite!"
"This isn't me being polite, it's that the teacher has the ability and people with ability must be respected!" Xīsī continued: "Also, I'm different from those other princes, I haven't learned those roundabout polite phrases, nor have I learned to be hypocritical like a bureaucratic old master. All I can tell the teacher is one sentence: if the teacher is useful to me, Xīsī will absolutely not mistreat the teacher!"
"Oh?" Is this supposed to be beneficial?
"Teacher, a small gift, not enough to show respect, it's just a token of apology for what happened with Gu!" The Ninth Prince indeed took out a small box and handed it to Ye Huan. Ye Huan weighed it in his hand, but it didn't feel like gold, silver or jewels. Xue Xi was right there, so he couldn't very well take it out to examine it directly.
This journey took more than two hours. Ye Huan's Wind Wing had been growing slowly, and by the time they arrived at the camp, the sky was already darkening.
Ye Huan was eager to know what was inside the small box, and didn't even bother to appreciate the camp of a prince, she asked for a tent and locked herself inside, then opened the small box.
"Xerxes!"
Look at what's inside the package! Ye Huan took a deep breath, "You're really something, I have to admit, you're making me want to work my butt off for you!"
"Boss, what did Ninth Prince give you?" Bai Xiaobai rushed in.
Ye Huan looked up and saw that Lushi, Adoufu, and Xiuluo had also walked in. He threw the package on the table, "You guys take a look!"
This is a map of the Canaan Empire!
There was also a royal appointment letter, roughly meaning that Xerxes, as the ninth prince, had the qualifications to own 3,000 miles of private territory, but he had not yet confirmed his territorial location!
"What does this mean?" Bai Xiaobai scratched his head, "A map and a letter of appointment?"
"And another pen!"
Ye Huan took out a brush with cinnabar on it from the small box at the bottom, ready to write at any time. "What Xixi meant was that I could draw a circle anywhere on the imperial map, as long as it didn't exceed three thousand miles and wasn't the territory of other nobles. These three thousand miles of rivers and mountains would be my land, Ye Huan's!"
Divide the land and seal the borders, this is the sincerity of the Ninth Prince!
……
Dropping the map, leaving behind the cheering followers, Ye Huan walked to the window.
His tent was also the largest and best in the entire camp, with a golden top that seemed to indicate that it had once belonged to the imperial royal family, and was a private item of the ninth prince, but now it has been given to Ye Huan this teacher.
The Ninth Prince himself lived in a humble tent across from Ye Huan's, one that was far less luxurious than the ordinary military tent of Ye Huan. At this moment, he was whispering and laughing with Gres, seemingly marveling at how he had managed to recruit the great prophet Ye Huan...
Ye Huan was already speechless with emotion.
Is it for those three thousand miles of rivers and mountains?
Of course not, Ye Huan saw it very clearly. The Ninth Prince was openly frank and sincere to him, but if he calculated carefully what he gave: becoming a master represented reputation, territory represented benefits, but what about the most important right? As an imperial official, the most important thing is the right!
The Ninth Prince is not stupid, he just gave Ye Huan some sweet treats that can be taken back at any time, and only when Ye Huan does something for him will he give out the biggest cake of power!
Ye Huan was truly excited about the Wings of Wind!
Praise the dawn, from the moment the Ninth Prince became his master, Feng's wings have not stopped growing, although very slowly, only about one centimeter per day, but he has been growing continuously! Glory, coming from identity, status, and strength, far surpassing ordinary people, the admiration that others must pay, it is clear that after Ye Huan became the Ninth Prince's teacher, he can obtain glory at all times, uninterrupted glory!
"With the title of a prince's teacher, Fengyi can grow one centimeter every day!" Ye Huan narrowed his eyes, "If I really become the prime minister or the national master of the black robe..."
"Xiao Wu, have you really become a prophet?"
At this time, Jiggs also rushed in flustered and excitedly, as soon as he entered the door, he grabbed Ye Huan's hand and looked her up and down, "You and Gu Yi met for the first time, it was too awesome, my god, he figured out your shirt, you actually figured out his breakfast too, how did you do that?"
"Didn't you see the two pieces of scallion leaves on Gu Yizhang's teeth?" Ye Huan rubbed his forehead, not to mention that this somewhat fake fortune-telling experience, even a child, as long as he wasn't blind, could guess what Gu Yizhang had eaten for breakfast.
"Leek leaves?" Giggles stared in amazement.
"Alright, Principal, even a big shot like you can have an awkward moment, and I'm no exception!" Ye Huan said: "Let's talk about us instead. There are some things that you owe me an explanation for. Do you want me to ask the followers to leave so we can discuss this privately?"
Jiggs smiled awkwardly and told Ye Huan that the martial arts tournament was just a show for the return of the king, but in reality, Caesar, Li Xuanba, Lie Tianyang, and many other young talents would be participating, which would certainly cause Ye Huan's dissatisfaction. "Xiao Wu, do you trust these few followers?"
"They were all devout believers!"
"That's good, one, two, three...... Bai Xiaobai, are you going to fight too?" Jigges counted them up, including Ye Huan, there were five people in total, but Bai Xiaobai always seemed a bit out of place among these five people. "With your strength, do you still want to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament?"
"I can wash clothes, cook meals, and even give massages and back scratches!" Bai Xiaobai said with a straight face.
"Ah, I know, you're Ye Huan's best 'male friend', huh... " Jiggs said with a sly smile, "But Xiao Wu, a team must have at least five people, Bai Xiaobai definitely can't participate, are you... missing one more person?"
"Does Principal have any good recommendations?" Ye Huan narrowed her eyes.
"I wouldn't recommend him, but there is a suitable little guy!" Jiggs pointed to the door, "What do you think of him?"
