It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

There is no beard on the face and it is very fair.

Coupled with the fact that he was wearing eunuch uniform, Zhou An guessed that this was a certain eunuch in the capital.

Zhou An, Yu Hang, let me introduce you. Sun Fuling raised his hand and began to introduce.

The man standing in front of you is Eunuch Wei, the head of the eunuchs of the Chu Kingdom.

After the introduction, Sun Fuling closed his hands.

He originally thought that Zhou An would be surprised, but he never expected that Zhou An's expression was very calm, which could even be said to be at a loss.

Zhou An was born in Anding County. Although he came from such a small place through time, how much can he know about that small place?

Basically, it can be said that there is a lack of knowledge.

So now when I heard Sun Fuling's introduction, I was completely confused.

He knows the leader of eunuchs.

This position seems to be in charge of eunuchs of all sizes in the capital, but he really doesn't know the name of Eunuch Wei.

Not only him, but also Yu Hang didn't know, both of them were confused.

Sun Fuling finally understood at this time that Zhou An really didn't seem to know.

This expression cannot be faked.

So he explained: Eunuch Wei is not only the head of the eunuchs in the capital, but also your Majesty's right-hand man. This time I came here specifically to see you two.

Look at the two of us?

Zhou An was even more confused. He felt that such a being must be a high-ranking person, but why did he suddenly come to see them?

Yu Hang couldn't understand either. He stood side by side with Zhou An and even secretly looked at Eunuch Wei's expression.

Eunuch Wei took a sip of tea, put the tea on the table, and said in a sharp voice: The reason why our family came here this time is actually to see you two. You two are now in the entire capital. I won't tell you. Famous, but in some small circles, it is considered well-known.”

For example, Yu Hang was able to break through during the exam. This has never happened before, and your article was even seen by His Majesty, who clapped his hands and applauded it.

In the great Chu country. His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts are actually just one sentence. He regards the people as very important.

On the contrary, for those people in the world, he didn't think it was particularly important.

To be precise, in the eyes of the Emperor of Chu, the most important cornerstone of the entire country was the people.

This article written by Yu Hang also focuses on the common people.

The emperor of Chu State could understand at a glance that there was no flattery in this article, but more of a direct expression of his feelings.

So it is normal to be appreciated.

As for Zhou An...

Eunuch Wei paused for a moment and continued: Zhou An is not bad either. He was able to win the first place in the Yunlai Mansion Casting Competition. He also uncovered the conspiracy here and allowed all the people of Yunlai Mansion to be safe.

Your Majesty was even more happy when he found out. Our family came here this time just to bring you good news.

At this point, Eunuch Wei didn't ramble any further, but took out a piece of letter paper from his wide sleeve.

The letter was folded in half, and the crease was new, so it had obviously never been opened.

Eunuch Wei opened the letter in front of everyone.

At this time, Sun Fuling stood aside, cupped his hands and said: I respectfully welcome your Majesty's edict.

After the founding of Da Chu, the emperor of Da Chu abolished many old systems, especially kneeling.

In the eyes of the Emperor of Chu, it was absolutely not allowed.

The emperor of the Chu State himself rose from a young age and was very annoyed by this kind of red tape, so after its establishment, he naturally abolished this system.

Zhou An and Yu Hang also imitated Sun Fuling's example and raised their hands.

At this time, they had not been entrusted with official positions, so they only said that the common people respectfully welcome the Holy Edict.

This process is extremely simplified, but it is still necessary.

So after they made this move, Eunuch Wei cleared his throat and read out the contents of the letter.

The content of the letter is very simple. It first talks about their specific achievements.

For example, Zhou An solved the big conspiracy of Yunlai Mansion.

Then there is Yu Hang. Being able to write this kind of article can be regarded as a masterpiece.

After reading these and saying a lot of scene talk, we came to the point.

Yuhang was assigned to a place called Fengkai County, which was considered a relatively prosperous county.

For a scholar who has just taken the imperial examination, it is a great joy.

Yu Hang agreed without being humble or overbearing, with a very calm expression on his face, showing no emotion.

As for Zhou An, he was not going to a county, but to another mansion. The name of the mansion was Tingyun mansion.

As for the purpose of going there, it is naturally to control the mining power there.

Although the mining rights have been granted to the minerals, Zhou An still has to deal with the specific matters.

This time, the enfeoffment between the two people was resolved.

Zhou An didn't think it mattered about this enfeoffment.

This position does not require fighting and killing, it is just a matter of taking care of it, and there must be people under it.

Therefore, it is naturally a good thing for me to have more time to improve my proficiency.

After everything was done, Eunuch Wei also put away the letter paper in his hand.

He looked at Zhou An as if he wanted to say something.

Zhou An is a smart man and he can tell it at a glance.

The person in front of me should be very powerful in the capital, perhaps not as powerful as the three organizations, but he should not be underestimated.

So he raised his hand again and asked: I don't know what Eunuch Wei has to do. Please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will naturally do it.

These days, whether in the world or in other places, one must be worldly.

Zhou An is indeed a salted fish.

But he is not an incompetent vulgar person.

As the saying goes, you can eat fish, but you can’t cook it.

As Zhou An said these words, Eunuch Wei nodded: Master Sun and Master Yu, please go out first. I have something important that I want to talk to Master Zhou.

Sun Fuling and Yu Hang looked at each other and went out without saying anything.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An felt that something big was going to happen.

After the two of them went out, he and Eunuch Wei were the only ones left in the room.

Eunuch Wei pointed to the seat next to him and said, Please sit down.

After Zhou An thanked him, he sat next to him.

Before his butt could get hot, Eunuch Wei poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou An picked up the tea cup, took a sip, then put it down and said with a smile: Eunuch Wei, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I guess your Majesty has something special to give me.

A situation like this must be a secret and cannot be known to others, otherwise it would not be just the two of them.

This time he came to issue the edict. Zhou An estimated that His Majesty had something important and wanted Eunuch Wei to convey it.

The head of the eunuchs in the capital was naturally the emperor's right-hand man and the person closest to the emperor.

This matter is not a trivial matter.

Sure enough, when Zhou An said these words, Eunuch Wei said in a very appreciative tone: I have heard for a long time that Mr. Zhou has a very fast knife in his hand, and that he is ruthless and powerful, but I didn't expect that he is also a man with a delicate mind. people.

Zhou An said politely, saying that if his thoughts were not delicate, he might not be alive now.

Even if he is cheating, even if he is a cheater, if he is a fool step by step, even if he is given a good cheat, he will probably die long ago.

Every step seems smooth, but in fact it is very dangerous.

Eunuch Wei is the master.

As soon as Zhou An's polite words came out.

Eunuch Wei didn't seem to intend to remain so polite. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou An: Master Zhou, please read it. After reading it, everything will be clear.

Zhou An nodded, opened the letter, glanced at the contents, and then closed the letter suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.

There is such a good thing.

Zhou An said in surprise.

The content of this letter is about Tingyun Mansion.

Tingyun Mansion is very prosperous, whether it is transportation or various aspects, it is the best choice.

He didn't expect that the place sealed for him turned out to be a good place.

He was a little confused here.

Zhou An asked out the doubts in his heart.

As soon as he asked, Eunuch Wei gave an explanation.

Actually, this is because His Majesty attaches great importance to you. You should know that this matter in Yunlai Mansion is not a trivial matter.

Your deeds have benefited the entire people of Yunlai Mansion. Your Majesty is a person who knows rewards and punishments clearly, so I will give you a great reward.

Zhou An understood. This was a reward for himself. He didn't assign himself to a particularly remote place.

In fact, it is a good thing for everyone.

Zhou An also thinks it's good. No one likes to stay in remote places. It would be better to go to a more prosperous place.

In that case, I would like to thank Your Majesty. Zhou An said very hypocritically.

Eunuch Wei saw Zhou An's expression clearly, shook his head and said, Master Zhou, there is a saying in our family that I don't know whether to say or not.

Zhou An nodded and said: Eunuch Wei, it took a lot of effort to come here this time. You can say anything you want. There is no need to hide it between the two of us.

When Eunuch Wei heard this, he thought to himself that this boy was really good at talking, and he made himself very happy with just a few words.

Although he knew that these words were all false, the falseness made people feel very comfortable. Eunuch Wei no longer kept it secret and spoke out his thoughts.

Our family also understands Mr. Zhou's temper. This trip is to tell Mr. Zhou something.

Zhou An listened patiently.

Eunuch Wei paused for a moment, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his aura grew rapidly.

After this momentum appeared, Zhou An narrowed his eyes and subconsciously prepared to touch the pink money bag.

The strength of the man in front of him was as deep as the sea, and the aura on his body was not that of masculinity, but of feminine strength.

It's like a deep pool buried under the snow-capped mountains, with the bottom as far as the eye can see.

Just touch it with your hand and it will turn into a weird ice sculpture.

This feeling was something Zhou An had never experienced before.

The Eunuch Wei in front of him gave him an extremely terrifying feeling.

Zhou An just touched the pink money bag and let go.

The reason is very simple. He feels that Eunuch Wei is not targeting him, and he is only slightly affected by it.

As expected, Eunuch Wei seemed to have noticed it and calmed down his aura.

Our family wants to tell Mr. Zhou that if you encounter difficulties, you have to solve them. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, just chop them with a knife.

If you do get into trouble, try to do it as cleanly as possible.

This was the first time Zhou An heard this. He was slightly surprised and said: Eunuch Wei asked me to kill people without saying a word.

These words should not come from Eunuch Wei's mouth.

After all, Eunuch Wei represents the power of the royal family.

If he really killed someone without saying a word, wouldn't he have violated the laws of the Chu Kingdom?

Unexpectedly, when Eunuch Wei waited for Zhou An to finish speaking, he actually nodded.

Master Zhou rose from Anding County and has never done anything to the people, and our family has also received information from Anding County.

The people also praise Mr. Zhou very much. If such a person kills a good person, our family will not believe it.

And what our family said to Mr. Zhou are just our own thoughts.

Having said this, Zhou An has nothing more to say.

Next, Eunuch Wei, like an elder, exchanged a lot of experiences in the world with Zhou An, and Zhou An also took this opportunity to ask about some news about the promotion of second-rate talents to first-rate talents.

After all, as a newbie, he really lacks knowledge in this area.

Eunuch Wei seemed to be really optimistic about Zhou An. He didn't hide it at all and told Zhou An all the news about First Class.

Zhou An also finally understood why his Qigong gradually shrank.

This is condensation, not mere reduction.

As long as it is concentrated to a certain level, the air mass will gradually become viscous, and after it becomes viscous to a certain level, it will turn into a solid.

This solid is called Qidan.

Once you reach the level of Qi Dan, you are truly a first-rate master.

After Zhou An understood it, he said a few words of thanks.

Eunuch Wei is the head of the eunuchs and is actually very busy.

He didn't stay long. After Sun Fulin and Yu Hang came in, he said goodbye and left directly.

Eunuch Wei left the room, and only Zhou An and the three of them were left.

Zhou An asked slightly curiously: Master Sun, why do I feel that Eunuch Wei is not a eunuch? He has a macho temperament.

In the conversation just now, this was the most detailed feeling for Zhou An.

For example, what Eunuch Wei said was to kill whatever he was told to do.

This is not like coming from the mouth of a eunuch.

When Sun Fuling heard this, he sighed helplessly: That's because you didn't know what Eunuch Wei was capable of when he was young.

Zhou An asked in surprise: What did Eunuch Wei do when he was young?

He doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes to listen to gossip. After all, listening to this stuff can help prolong life.

Sure enough, when he asked, even Yu Hang had an excited expression on his face.

Sun Fuling looked at the two people and felt that their expressions were exactly the same, and said to himself, they are indeed brothers.

He then began to explain: Eunuch Wei, when he was young, he was a first-class master, and he was also famous in the world. The most important thing in a man is chivalry.

It can be said that at that time, no one in the world did not think highly of him, but he was seriously injured when the Chu Kingdom was established.

So he became like this now. In fact, he was a perfect person before this. It is actually very uncomfortable for a person to suffer such a big blow, but Eunuch Wei stopped abruptly.

I can tell you that the reason why Eunuch Wei was so seriously injured was because he defeated a dozen masters of the same level by himself and killed half of them.

Zhou An took a deep breath when he heard this.

One person should be able to defeat a dozen masters of the same level.

But he did it, and Eunuch Wei did the same. This is really strong.

Unexpectedly, after Sun Fuling said this, he had something else to say.

You know? This is not the most powerful thing about Eunuch Wei. The most amazing thing about Eunuch Wei is that after he changed his profession, he still practiced to an extremely high level.

He was not originally in this profession. After becoming like this, he directly switched to the eunuch profession. His current strength is completely incomprehensible.

Hearing this, Zhou An remembered the aura that Eunuch Wei had inadvertently revealed just now. The kind of terror that was like a deep pool really made people feel frightened.

By the way, when will you leave? I can see you off. Sun Fuling didn't seem to want to talk more about this matter, after all, it involved other people's privacy.

For him to be able to say so much has already set a precedent.

In fact, according to the rules, after the official seal is handed down, it must be departed within three days.

Zhou An and Yu Hang discussed it and felt that there was really nothing else to do in Yunlai Mansion, so it was okay to leave immediately.

And there are three days to wrap things up.

The two of them made a decision and said that they must leave within three days.

Sun Fuling said that if he is free by then, he will definitely send him off.

Zhou An and Yu Hang didn't say much. After chatting for a few words, because Sun Fuling had other matters, they left.

After leaving the palace order, they casually had some food outside, and then the two returned to the house.

Yu Hang looked high-spirited and very happy. At first glance, he looked very satisfied.

Of course Zhou An knew that being an official was Yu Hang's lifelong dream.

Despite Yu Hang's nonchalant look before, he was actually quite concerned about it.

The two of them didn't say much after that, each doing their own thing.

Yu Hang went to study, but Zhou An was thinking about what skills he should improve next.

Nowadays, except for the Chef Ding's sword-fighting technique and the fusion casting technique which have reached level five, all other skills are at level four.

The only third-level skill is water control, and Zhou An plans to continue to improve this skill.

But it seems that the threshold has been reached. After all, after reaching level three, it is necessary to improve in new ways.

It was still early at this time, and Zhou An had nothing to do, so he went to the swimming pool behind and planned to practice.

After jumping into the water, Zhou An tried swimming as usual, but his proficiency did not improve.

Then, he thought for a moment and changed his swimming posture.

But this posture still has no effect.

Zhou An fell into deep thought. This time it was really not a matter of posture, but that he did not master the method of improvement.

He just leaned on the edge of the swimming pool, thinking about the specific method.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou An came to a conclusion.

Since there's nothing wrong with my swimming style, it's something else. Maybe I should try real waterbending.

Nowadays, swimming has transformed into water control, so Zhou An tried to raise his hand and draw a ball of water from the swimming pool.

After drawing out the water, he used the power in his body, and the water began to change into various shapes.

But proficiency still shows no sign of improvement.

Zhou An thought again, and this time he simulated a knife.

This knife is the sword that I carry with me.

This time the simulation was extremely precise, but halfway through the simulation, he felt an indescribable sourness.

What he simulates cannot be extremely precise.

He thought of the attributes of the waterbending skill, including the word control.

Since it is control, the more delicate it is, the better.

Thinking of this place, Zhou An started to try it from the handle of the knife.

But then his attempt failed again.

It's really because this knife is too thin, so it's impossible to control it from a fine point.

Maybe I should try a bigger object, like the water dragon from before.

Thinking of this, Zhou An tried to stimulate the water in the swimming pool, and it turned into a water dragon as thick as two people's arms.

He began to refine it from the leading position.

Anyone who came from time-to-time knows the specific shape of a dragon.

Zhou An refined a dragon horn according to his thoughts, and then, a burst of smoke appeared in front of his eyes.

[Water Control +1]

Sure enough, my method is right. Zhou An felt ecstatic.

Yu Shui highlighted the word Yu, and I was not wrong.

With the new method, Zhou An naturally became more interested and began to refine the water dragon.

In fact, it is very difficult to be precise, but every time he becomes more precise, his proficiency will increase by a certain amount.

As his proficiency increased, he discovered that he had the ability to control water. I also understand more deeply.

This made Zhou An, the Liver Emperor, feel full of gain.

Ever since, this liver lasted all night.

It wasn't until the next morning that Zhou An got out of the swimming pool and dried his clothes.

As usual, he went out to eat with Yu Hang as usual, and after coming back, he continued to practice the water-bending skill for three full days.

As I said before, we must leave within three days, and Zhou An and Yu Hang also calculated the time.

When the time came, he got up early and went out with Yu Hang.

Just as he went out, he met Qi Shuo.

Qi Shuo was holding a large box in his hand, dragging it this way with great effort.

When he saw Zhou An and Yu Hang, he happily said hello: Master Zhou, Master Yu, you two are up.

These days, businessmen are of course very aware of their words. Now that their identities have changed, the title will naturally change as well.

Zhou An nodded and asked what's the matter?

Qi Shuo said that he came here to see him off and brought some small gifts along the way.

When Zhou An opened the box, he looked at some dry food and stacks of banknotes inside, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Brother Qi, your money really has no end.

Qi Shuo chuckled: I don't have any other characteristics, except that I have a lot of money. This journey is tiring, so I naturally have to use money to open up a lot of relationships. You two adults can prepare some.

If someone comes to your door, Zhou An will naturally accept it. After all, this thing is of equal value.

Today's Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is not only popular in Yunlai Mansion, but also popular outside Yunlai Mansion. After all, it has now established a reputation.

So Zhou An accepted it with peace of mind.

Yu Hang took Zhou An's car and collected a lot of banknotes.

In this way, the two of them don't have much demand for banknotes.

Master Zhou, Master Yu, I won't send you off. Many chambers of commerce are indeed very busy. Qi Shuo said with some shame.

Now that the situation is great, Hengtong Chamber of Commerce will naturally add more efforts.

So he really doesn't have time.

Zhou An naturally didn't care and told Qi Shuo to just go and get busy.

After Qi Shuo left, he and Yu Hang walked towards the city gate.

I originally thought that this journey would be ordinary, but I didn't expect to meet Zheng Sifu and Sun Fuling again on the road.

The two of them also came to deliver it.

So there were four people on one trip.

During this period, everyone was chatting happily. It was not until they arrived at the city gate that they left.

There were already two carriages outside the city gate, these were prepared by Qi Shuo.

Since Zhou An and Yu Hang were in different directions, two carriages were naturally prepared.

Zheng Sifu and Sun Fuling have gone back. They are the big bosses in Yunlai Mansion, so they are naturally busy.

The two coachmen were waiting patiently.

Zhou An and Yu Hang looked at each other and hugged each other's fists.

Yu Hang said: Old Zhou, I will try my best to come to your place during my next selection. When the time comes, we two brothers will be able to work together like a fish in water.

Zhou An also smiled. He knew that his brother had now fulfilled his dream: Lao Yu, don't be brave if anything happens after you go, just do your best.

Yu Hang nodded and said he would do so.

It was between brothers, so naturally there was no such scene as wiping away tears, and the two of them left very simply.

Zhou An watched Yu Hang get on the carriage, gradually left, and got on the carriage alone.

Master Zhou, please sit down!

The coachman sat in front and shouted into the carriage.

With a shout, the carriage gradually moved away.

Zhou An sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked at Yunlai Mansion getting farther and farther behind him, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.

Zhou An couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he thought about his experience starting from Anding County.

However, he was not a sentimental person. He just sighed for a while, then put down the curtain, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…

Time passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, I passed many inns.

While passing by several stations, I also took a short break.

The distance from Yunlai Mansion to Tingyun Mansion is very long, it is estimated to take half a month.

The coachman was found by Qi Shuo, and he was also a coachman from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce also had business here, so after arriving at Tingyun Mansion, the coachman could also rest at the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce over there.

Moreover, Qi Shuo also said hello to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce over there. When Zhou An passes by, everything will be very convenient.

This is Zhou An's current reputation in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

Now the entire Hengtong Chamber of Commerce regards Zhou An as a Xiangbobo.

During this period, Zhou An was not idle. Whenever he went to a place to rest, he would find the nearest river to practice water control.

After so many days, waterbending finally reached level four.

[Waterbending lv.4 (water +2, control +2): 1/60000]

The water dragon has been simulated to life by him, and he is now trying to simulate something smaller.

He gradually decreased in size from the water dragon, and when he finally shrunk to half its size, his proficiency improved again.

Along the way, the only thing that can improve proficiency is taking a nap.

On the road, wherever Zhou An went, he would go to the river to practice.

Now, we are getting closer and closer to Tingyun Mansion. When we stopped at a post station, the voice of the coachman came from outside.

Master Zhou, please rest for a while. There is not much distance left. Don't make you too tired.

In fact, Zhou An has been sitting in the carriage, how can it be considered tired?

But the coachman does also talk.

Zhou An nodded and got out of the carriage.

At this time, there were not many people at the inn, and some were resting here and there.

He found a seat and sat down. The coachman immediately took out a kettle from the side and poured him a glass: Master Zhou, please use water.

Zhou An was not polite. After taking a few sips, he asked the coachman to rest here. He asked someone at the inn to find out where the water was, and rushed towards that location using the Dragon Step.

This is his daily routine. If it is not far away, he will practice and improve his proficiency.

Now that his proficiency in waterbending has reached level four, he is making the shrunken dragon more realistic.

This situation is very difficult. It is necessary to maintain the simulated parts while making the later parts more refined. If you are not careful, the previous parts will be wiped out.

When he was approaching the water source, he had already heard the sound of the river, and Zhou An quickly approached.

In front of him was a river. The water was much larger than that of Yunlai Mansion, and it was flowing rapidly.

It was quiet on the river, and no one was here.

This situation was just right, no one bothered him.

When he came to the river, Zhou An raised his right hand, and the Qi in his body began to flow. He drew a stream of river water out, and a five-meter-long water dragon was drawn in mid-air.

At the beginning, it was ten meters, and now it has shrunk by half, becoming five meters.

The position of the five-meter water dragon's head is extremely precise, and even the dragon's whiskers are lifelike.

But there is a blur under the faucet, and it looks like a pure accessory.

Zhou An closed his eyes and began to simulate.

He started with the dragon scales first, and the water flow outlined the first dragon scales under his control.

As his proficiency increased, he began to outline the second piece.

The outline of the dragon scales is actually better than that of the dragon head. After all, the situation of the dragon head is more complicated.

Zhou Anzai sketched it carefully. If anyone else were here, they would see a surprising sight.

Zhou An was immersed in his own world and never tired of it.

At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

The footsteps were very fast and divided into two parts, as if someone was chasing and escaping.

The Qi in the body circulates, and the water dragon in front of him disappears.

Zhou An thought for a while and jumped into the river.

I have a fever, a sore throat, I feel really uncomfortable, and I still cough while typing. A new plot is being laid, and all skills will be pushed to level five in the future. This is also when Zhou An undergoes a qualitative change.
