alone as a fairy
Chapter 65 The old past
Chen Zining took the first step, saluted and said, "Zi Ning has seen Mr. Meng and Master Shi."
Meng Tang said with a hearty smile, "You don't need to be too polite, just come in and sit down."
The three sat down in the living room, and Meng Tang asked, "Is your family okay?"
"Everything is fine. A few days ago, I received a letter from home saying that both grandpa and father have broken through the realm of martial arts." Chen Zining revealed some information.
When Meng Tang heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Oh! Your grandfather didn't send me a letter for such great news. It's a pity that he is not in Taichang now, otherwise he would have to be beaten."
At this time, Meng Chang took the gift box handed over by the servant, and said to Chen Zining: "You and I are family friends, as long as you come, what gift do you bring?"
After speaking, he opened it and took a look. After a while, he asked uncertainly, "Is this a blood dragon fruit?"
Although he is the commander of the city guards, he really doesn't know much about the fourth-grade spirit fruit. This blood dragon fruit is rare, and he has only heard of it, so he handed the gift box to his father immediately.
Meng Tang looked at it and nodded: "It's really a blood dragon fruit. When you come to me, it's like coming to your own home. How can you buy such an expensive thing?"
The market price of these ten spiritual fruits is at least 4000 gold coins. His Meng family can be regarded as a big family. There are more than 200 guards and servants alone, but all the expenses for a month are only more than 2000. A gold coin, this gift is not light.
Chen Zining explained with a smile: "I didn't buy this. It's a blood dragon fruit tree found in Yunjie Ridge. It just happened to be ripe now, so I brought it for the old man's family to try."
The Meng family father and son were a little surprised when they heard this, but they didn't ask any more questions, so they didn't refuse immediately.
Meng Tang recalled with a smile: "Your grandfather and I once fought side by side in the Blood Wolf Army. In the battle of Tiansuoguan, our vanguard battalion made great contributions, but in a bloody battle, there were heavy casualties. 300 vanguards There were only 13 survivors left in the battalion. At that time, the king of Zhendong personally ordered to reward us heavily. I was promoted to the command position of the first battalion and finally became the master of the city. Your grandfather only wanted a bounty at that time, so he returned Arrived at Yunjie Ridge."
Speaking of this, he paused and said: "When your father was young, he worked in a small mercenary regiment. After I found out, I wanted to recruit him into the army and promote him. I didn't expect your father to be unwilling, so he also returned to his hometown. , I thought at that time, what is so good about Yunjieling? It made them unwilling to leave."
Chen Zining had never heard of these past events from his grandfather and father. He did not expect to learn some details here. He said, "Maybe it's because of the difficulty of leaving the homeland. I heard that the old man was also born in Tsinghua City?"
Meng Tang laughed: "That's true. In the past, your family would send fifty Xuanyu fruits over every year for us to taste. After leaving Taichang City this year, I'm still thinking that I won't be able to eat your spiritual fruits in the future." I did not expect you to send the blood dragon fruit this time. Okay, I will accept it. In the future, if you have something to do, you will come to your uncle. He still has a few old classmates who I know in Changfeng College, but in my It seems that with your talent, if those old guys from Changfeng Academy are not blind, they might have already noticed you."
At this time, in the vice president's office of Changfeng College, Gu Tonghui, Mu Ye, a middle-aged man and an old man were sitting together, listening to the report of the first man with a plain face, which was Chen Zining's story. His background, as well as his various performances on the way to Tsinghua City and in the Beast Fighting Competition, including winning bets, holding a fruit-tasting event at the birthday party, raising a manticore that has been promoted to the fourth-level spirit beast, etc., except for Chen Zining's Except for some secrets, everything is described in detail.
After the report, Gu Tonghui waved the man back and said with a smile: "I was born in Yunjieling, and my family owns a piece of spiritual land. It seems that I am not a child of an aristocratic family. Elder Ye, Elder Huang, you two What do you think of this kid?"
Elder Ye with a long beard pondered: "Judging from his experience, this child is clearly a natural animal speaker, not an animal trainer who is proficient in several animal training techniques. Only this kind of talent can make all major forces Pay attention."
Elder Huang with a round face and thin eyebrows, and a slightly fat body also said: "Yes, the manticore he raised has reached the fourth level, which is a great help, what's more rare is that his own martial arts talent is also amazing He is so courageous, he shot the leader of the horse thief to death with one arrow, and dared to break into the formation of hundreds of people by himself. gone."
"Then should we recruit this person into the inner hall?" Mu Ye asked from the side.
"Take it! Why don't you do it? Anyone with insight can see that this kid has unlimited potential. Even if he can't work for the academy in the future, it's good to have a good relationship." Elder Huang said.
Elder Ye also agreed: "In recent years, the backbone of our college has shown signs of being weak, and now is the time to urgently absorb new forces."
"Okay then, Xiao Ye, call him sometime, and I'll tell him in person." Gu Tonghui said to Mu Ye.
At this time, Chen Zining didn't know that he had attracted the attention of some interested people.
In the living room of the Meng family, Meng Tang and Chen Zining talked about some past events, and then changed the subject: "Zining, what are your plans for the future? I would like to practice in the army. I still have some old friends in the army, maybe It’s just to make you suffer.”
"In the army? No plans for this at the moment?" Chen Zining's most urgent thought now is to further improve his own strength, and the second is to let Chenjiacun have the power to protect himself. He now also has plans to establish a power, but he has no plans to join the army. considered.
Meng Tang persuaded: "No matter how good Yunjieling is, it is a barren land. The Chen family wants to develop, and there will be a day when they go out of the mountains. The Holy Tang Kingdom places the most emphasis on military merits. Non-military merits do not confer titles. Once you have a title, you can have a fief. It is the only way to be loyal to the royal family besides being promoted to Wu Zong. Unfortunately, I was too stubborn in the army and offended some people. I failed to confer a knighthood after 20 years of service. Later, I became the city lord of Taichang City for 20 years. There is no one in the court, and secondly, you have not been able to break through Wuzong, and you still haven't obtained a piece of land when you grow old, so you can only hope for you juniors."
Chen Zining thought for a while, and felt that what Meng Tang said was not unreasonable, and replied: "The old man is right, but it's still early, at least it won't be too late to think about it after I graduate."
Meng Tang nodded: "Yes, but I was too impatient. By the way, the person who took my place in Taichang City was Huang Hongyu from the Huang family in Kyoto. This person is the second son of the head of the Huang family and the Minister of Finance of the North and China. Soon, it is time to expand, and this person is also extremely greedy, I have already written to your grandfather to be more careful."
Meng Tang said with a hearty smile, "You don't need to be too polite, just come in and sit down."
The three sat down in the living room, and Meng Tang asked, "Is your family okay?"
"Everything is fine. A few days ago, I received a letter from home saying that both grandpa and father have broken through the realm of martial arts." Chen Zining revealed some information.
