Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 125 Goal Achievement
Just waiting for your words!
Yin Qi was secretly happy, but doubts flashed in his eyes.

300 taels of silver a month, which is not such a high salary to teach the prince to study.

Anyone with normal intelligence would be suspicious.

If he agreed right away, it would make Concubine Yuan suspicious, suspecting that he was either out of his wits or had ulterior motives. In either case, he was not suitable to be the teacher of those little foxes.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you!"

Concubine Yuan chuckled lightly, then spread her hand and a handful of small gold cakes appeared: "Here are ten red gold coins, which can be used as your first month's deposit. How about it?"

Yin Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. But it's getting late today. Let's start again early tomorrow morning."

However, Concubine Yuan looked solemn and said firmly: "No, we have to leave now."

Yin Qi thought for a while and could only pretend to compromise: "Okay. But wait a minute while I pack my luggage. By the way, how far are your relatives from here? It's too far, and walking at night is not possible. "

Concubine Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, it's not far, it's just around here."

"it is good!"

Yin Qi nodded, and he went into the room to pack his luggage, a baggage and a book basket.

"let's go!"

Seeing Yin Qi coming out, Concubine Yuan stepped forward to pull him, and then jumped out of the temple courtyard.

"Ah, so fast!"

Yin Qi pretended to be surprised.

Concubine Yuan laughed and said: "Hehe, I can't help but hurry up. It's a sixty-mile round trip and I still have to rush back to the city!"

"Sixty miles, didn't you say it's not far?"

"Yes, it's not far away sixty miles!"

Yin Qi was speechless and said no more.

After acting for a long time, I finally achieved my goal.

For a strong person like Yuan Fei, sixty miles is indeed not far away, and they arrived in less than an hour.

.........

This is a quiet valley.

A large bonfire burned in the middle of the valley.

Beside the campfire, dozens of foxes with snow-white fur sat around.

They were half squatting and half sitting, holding books like people, and making strange sounds in their mouths.

It seemed like he was reciting, but his words were unclear.

Yin Qi pretended to be horrified, swallowed hard, and looked like he was forcing himself to calm down.

Concubine Yuan's eyes lit up even more when she saw this.

He didn't even faint from shock!
Haw!Haw!
The arrival of Yin Qi and Concubine Yuan quickly alarmed the foxes.

Three young foxes' eyes lit up, and they threw away the books in their hands and scurried over, jumping and jumping around Concubine Yuan, jumping for joy.

"Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, Xiao Shu, don't make trouble. Guests are coming today. Don't lose your etiquette. Why are you still crawling on the ground with your hands? You can't change your animal habits and make the guests laugh."

A voice suddenly sounded.

The voice was very stiff and had a strange accent, as if there was a fish bone stuck in the throat.

But his speech was quite clear and orderly.

Yin Qi followed the sound and saw that it was an old fox, standing upright like a human, with its forelimbs cupped, walking over crookedly, like an old scholar.

This should be Tu Lao.

Concubine Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Tu, Xiao Sang, Xiao Li, Xiao Shu, they are not sensible yet. Mr. Xiao is a wonderful person, so he shouldn't blame them for being rude. These are your future students, what do you think?"

She finally looked at Yin Qi with a smile.

That smile seems to be saying, aren't you brave? Do you dare to teach them?
Yin Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I knew there would be no pie in the sky, but you asked me to teach them to read. This..."

Mr. Tu was not in a hurry, and said in a serious manner: "Sir's visit to the valley today really makes the valley shine. As a scholar, you should know that animals also have a good heart and understanding. In the past, there were tigers and lions who listened to the sages' sermons. Concubine Yuan did not have the slightest malice in inviting her husband here today.

Besides, our pure fox clan are not wild beasts with undeveloped wisdom.

We understand the truth and understand the world.

If you are a scholar and understand things clearly, you will know that in ancient times, there was no difference between humans and monsters. They both drank blood and grew hair all over their bodies, no doubt like apes. It was only later that they gradually walked upright, ate cooked food, and created writing, and then they became human beings.

We pure foxes who have lived in the mountains for a long time are no more than the alien people of ancient times.

In this case, why do you think we can't educate you? "

Yin Qi opened his mouth, bowed his hands and said, "What the old gentleman said is true, but I am narrow-minded. In fact, there is no essential difference between humans and beasts. The only difference lies in education."

"Hahaha!"

Mr. Tu was very happy, and his beard was standing up.

Being called 'Mr. Old' by human scholars is definitely the highest compliment to him.

Concubine Yuan's beautiful eyes were filled with laughter and she said with a smile: "It seems that you agreed, so that's good. To be honest, before you, I brought some people here, but they all fainted from fright. By the way, also I don’t know what your name is?”

Yin Qi cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Yin and my first name is Qi."

Concubine Yuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Your surname is Yin, what does it have to do with the Duke of Yin's palace?"

There were not many people with the surname Yin in Yujing City, and Yin Qi didn't look like he came from an ordinary family, no matter how he dressed or spoke or behaved.

"Yin Guogong is my father."

Yin Qi replied. He looked at Concubine Yuan's confused look, and then added: "I am a concubine, and my mother died of illness many years ago, so I can only take the imperial examination."

Duke Yin belongs to a family of generals, and the best way out is to practice martial arts.

With the connections in the Duke of Yin's office, one can quickly rise through the ranks after joining the army.

For example, Yin Qi's eldest brother Yin Xuan is already a general in the Shenji Battalion at the age of only 26;
The fourth brother Yin Jie is the commander of Jin Yuying, and he can be regarded as young and promising.

You must know that Shenji Camp and Jinyu Camp are both the fifth team of the Royal Guards, directly under the Qian Emperor.

"I see!"

Concubine Yuan suddenly realized, smiled and said: "It's getting late, I should go back. Yin Qi, they will leave it to you."

"Eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king."

"Okay, see you again."

Concubine Yuan nodded, turned and left.

She walked cleanly and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

A group of foxes looked at Yin Qi with curiosity and timidity in their eyes.

They chirped, not knowing what they were saying.

Tu Lao said: "Mr. Yin, it's getting late. I'll take you to rest first. We'll talk about teaching tomorrow."

"Alright."

Yin Qi nodded and said, "By the way, the books I brought are not suitable for enlightenment. Do you have any suitable books?"

"Yes, of course there is!"

Speaking of books, Mr. Tu said very proudly: "The collection of books of our pure fox family is no less than that of your Confucian and Taoist families in Yujing City. It's just that Mr. Yin, we don't know how to organize it, so we can only pile it up in a mess." , it’s very troublesome to find, so I hope Mr. Yin can organize the collection of books for us in the future.”

"You actually have so many books?"

Yin Qi pretended to be surprised and said: "If there are really so many books, they need to be organized for future search."

"Of course! Come on, let me show Mr. Yin around our book collection."

Tu Lao seemed a little impatient.

Like a child with a new toy, he is eager to share and show it off with his peers.
