Chapter 1045 Two Years Later
In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Wu Yi took office in Prince Yong's Mansion. For Wu Yi in the past, it would have been a blink of an eye, a little retreat to practice, a few years, or even dozens or even hundreds of years. From then on, This shows how difficult it is for a monk to achieve a small breakthrough.
However, in the Great Extreme Dynasty, in these short two years, almost every day, Wu Yi did not fall asleep completely. If there was any movement outside, he would get up to check.
On the one hand, it is naturally because he is the leader of the guards of Prince Yong's palace and is responsible for surveillance. If there is a thief intrusion and he is held accountable, Wu Yi, a good man, might be held accountable here.
On the other hand, it was because of Wu Yi's identity. As a Taoist disciple, a disciple who had entered the upper echelons of the Daji Dynasty's royal family, he used to have a humble status and no one cared about him. But now, as he comes into contact more and more, he often Wu Yi was assigned a task by a senior, asking Wu Yi to find out something and deliver important information.
With great ability comes great responsibility? Not necessarily. Some seniors hidden in Zhongdu may be a fortune teller or a beggar on the roadside. They are very capable, so why not do it themselves?
In the final analysis, Wu Yi is just an important chess piece. But there is no need to resent anyone. From a certain perspective, being able to become a chess piece means that your own value is recognized by others.
If no one cares about him like Wu Yi guarded Langyankou in the past, what's the difference between that and death?
In the process of trading and being traded, Wu Yi did not fully understand the power of the Zhongdu Dao Sect, but it was about 50%, which should be about the same.
Another early morning, Wu Yi got up to prepare some matters when the sky was slightly bright and the morning stars were few and far between. King Yong was young and vigorous, had many ideas, and was a fickle person.
One of the daily pleasures is to practice military formations, and then imitate his father's behavior at the military parade, leading the army to charge into the front.
Wu Yi naturally supported this. If a grown-up prince didn't even have the slightest idea of trouble, his years would be in vain.
However, during this process, Wu Yi was also teaching King Yong some arithmetic, such as calculating the influence of wind direction and force on arrows, the difference in the passing speed of soldiers under different terrains, and the daily maximum running distance of ordinary soldiers. wait!
Wu Yi's character likes to make decisions before taking action. He is also very good at formations. This kind of thing requires strong deduction ability.
Even though mana cannot be used at this moment, the speed of calculation has only slowed down, and the process is still the same.
The ultimate in arithmetic can lead to immortality! Well, in fact, the ultimate level of every Tao can lead to immortality.
Under the influence of Wu Yi, King Yong also had a little more city and thought about things in a few more layers.
Today's King Yong no longer calls Wu Yi by his position, because Wu Yi, who inherited Chen Yan's body, looks very similar to King Yong. They are the same age, so they call him by his first name, which makes the relationship closer.
Wu Yi said without exaggeration that he had entered King Yong's inner circle. King Yong regarded Wu Yi as a confidant. The emperor would ask questions and discuss with Wu Yi on weekdays. If nothing else, this alone proved Wu Yi's status in King Yong's mind.
Wu Yi, who got up early, inspected the Yongwang Mansion for a week and stopped next to an old man. The Taigong was nearly sixty years old, with white beard and hair. He was wearing a dust-proof warm hat, a straight-seam wide shirt, and Tie with soap silk strips and wear mature leather boots, giving people a kind and kind feeling.
However, for such an ordinary old man, can you believe that he is from a Taoist sect? Moreover, his cultivation of immortality is one level higher than that of Wu Yi. In other words, he is a Taichu Immortal.
Wu Yi asked about his specific origins, but the other party did not answer. He knew that he had made a mistake, so Wu Yi just pretended that he had not said it.
"Mr. Liu, why are you bringing food to your son so early in the morning?" The old man's immortality is not low. However, in the Daji Dynasty, this Taichu Immortal is just the father of a handyman in Prince Yong's Mansion. He is of low status. The world couldn't be any more humble, but after all, his son worked as an errand in the palace and earned a lot of money, so he was still a decent person when walking outside.
This Mr. Liu is also the main channel for Wu Yi to contact the Taoist forces in Zhongdu. As far as Wu Yi knows, there are many people in Prince Yong's Mansion who are in contact with Mr. Liu. Some people Wu Yi knows their identities, but there are also some people , hidden extremely deeply.
Mr. Liu raised the basket in his hand and said, "Yes! I didn't expect the general to get up so early. The lower-class people don't dare to ask for food from the palace, so they should bring some from home to avoid starvation!"
"Mr. Liu! You too! I've told you many times that there will be a lot of leftovers in the palace every day. It's okay. There's no need to bring food. There's plenty of food!"
Old Liu smiled naively and did not answer. When the master is in a good mood, he will reward you with a mouthful of food. When he is in a bad mood, he will also curse you for eating too much. Prepare some yourself and feel more at ease.
Liu Laodao: "Little old man, let's go in first!"
"okay!"
When the two of them passed side by side, Mr. Liu muttered something. People from far away would not notice it at all. After Wu Yi saw it, he nodded slightly to show understanding. It's not a big deal. Wu Yi is reminded every day that if King Yong tells him about a big deal, he will pass the news on.
After handing over to Mr. Liu, Wu Yi went around in a circle and returned to his residence. The ordinary house, except for the basic items, could almost be said to be a bare house.
Prince Yong originally wanted Wu Yi to move into the bright and beautiful new house, but Wu Yi declined. This was good enough. He had practiced Taoism for hundreds of years and was not so vain as to be unable to see through a little vanity.
Along the way, the servants and maids of Prince Yong's mansion stood up to greet Wu Yi when they saw him, and Wu Yi also returned the greetings one by one, showing the demeanor of an ancient gentleman.
Well, in fact, Wu Yi deliberately made friends with everyone in order to conceal his relationship with Old Liu. If Wu Yi only communicated with Old Liu, it would inevitably attract attention. If he communicated with everyone, then others would only think that Wu Yi was kind-hearted and sympathetic.
When Wu Yi returned to the house, a guard informed Wu Yi that Prince Yong invited him to have breakfast together. Wu Yi agreed, washed his face with cold water, and after sobering up, he turned left and walked to Prince Yong's study. Almost every day at this time, Prince Yong would ask Wu Yi to have dinner with him.
Wu Yi taught him the art of calculation, which was used to arrange troops and formations, and was the premise for temple calculation. This process involves a lot of calculations, and the small study room, which is less than three meters in size, has become the place where the two of them spend the longest time.
