Ye Xiaotian climbed up the rock and turned around to stretch out his hand. Yu Junting placed her soft and fragrant hand into his palm. Ye Xiaotian lifted her up and lightly leaped onto the strange rock. Ye Xiaotian moved inwards and sat down gently. Hugging his knees, he looked at the blue sky and white clouds that dyed the terraced fields below. For a moment, he felt relaxed and happy.
Yu Junting sat down beside him. A faint fragrance quickly entered his nose. Ye Xiaotian stretched his head out to look at the bottom of the frightening cliff and smiled, "Lord County Supervisor! Is this rock sturdy? Don't let it fall with a loud bang. That would be too unjust for us to die! "
Yu Junting could not help but laugh, "Does Lord Ye treasure your life so much? This rock has been here for who knows how many thousands of years. How can it fall so easily? If it falls when we come, it is also fate. I won't blame it. "
Ye Xiaotian smiled, "If we really fall from such a high place, we will definitely become a pile of meat paste. I don't mind. But County Supervisor is so beautiful. If you fall so badly, what should we do?"
Yu Junting said, "Death is death. What does it matter if you are beautiful or not? It is just a body. "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Of course we don't care about the body. But if both of us fall into a pile of meat paste, we won't be able to tell which piece is me and which piece is you. Won't we be mixed together when we are put into the coffin?"
Yu Junting tilted her head slightly and glanced at him. She couldn't help but think of a verse from the Yuan Dynasty: "Take a piece of mud, pinch one you, mold one me, break both of us at the same time, mix it with water, pinch another you, mold another me. I have you in the mud, you have me in the mud, we live in the same quilt, we die in the same coffin …"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly thought of this verse and felt that it was inappropriate. He hurriedly turned his head and looked away. Turning his gaze, he saw that Yu Junting was also turning her head in the opposite direction. Her jade-white cheeks were slightly flushed.
The mountain wind was still fierce, but there seemed to be a touch of gentleness and ambiguity between the two. After a long time, Yu Junting sighed softly and lay down on her back. She rested her head on her arms and said faintly, "I really hope to lean against the ground, look at the sky, and listen to the mountain wind. I don't think about anything for the rest of my life!"
Ye Xiaotian was sitting there. The moment he spoke, his voice would be blown away by the wind. He had to raise his voice. So he simply lay down, turned his head and said, "What do you mean? I see that the County Supervisor is usually awe-inspiring and full of ambition. Just because of this countryside scenery, is he going to vanish into thin air? "
Yu Junting suddenly looked mournful. She smiled sadly and said: "Awe-Inspiring?"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly became suspicious and said: "Is there something on the County Supervisor's mind?"
Yu Junting wanted to say something but stopped. Ye Xiaotian saw it and couldn't help but be curious. He turned over and propped his cheek on his hand. He faced Yu Junting and silently stared at her. Yu Junting turned away uncomfortably and lay on her side. She faintly said: "Don't ask."
Ye Xiaotian didn't hear it clearly. He leaned over and asked: "What did you say?" Because of the mountain wind, Yu Junting thought that he had suddenly raised his voice. She turned her head slightly and said: "I …"
She originally wanted to say: "I said don't ask!" But when she turned her head, she just happened to meet Ye Xiaotian's mouth. Their lips brushed and both were stunned.
"Boom …"
Ye Xiaotian only felt that the mountain wind suddenly magnified ten times and was about to blow him away with the wind. Yu Junting's apricot eyes were wide open. She looked at Ye Xiaotian in shock. She had the intention to seduce Ye Xiaotian. Even this hesitation was a means of loosening the reins only to grasp better. But she never thought that it would start like this.
The two were stunned for a long time. Ye Xiaotian embarrassedly said: "It's a misunderstanding. It's purely a misunderstanding! County Supervisor, please don't be angry! "
Yu Junting stared at him. Her eyes slowly moved to his hand. She saw his five fingers spread open and firmly grasping the crack. She couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
Ye Xiaotian laughed dryly: "I'm afraid that County Supervisor will kick me down the cliff in anger!"
Yu Junting couldn't help but laugh. She coldly snorted and said: "In order to save you, I didn't hesitate to offend five nobles. How can I bear to let you die so easily?"
She turned over and sat up. She rebuked Ye Xiaotian and said: "Didn't I just touch my lower lip? Who do you think I am? I don't care!" Saying that, she fiercely wiped her lips. But nothing was wiped off her lips. Instead, the two smears of "rouge" on her cheeks became more and more obvious.
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly flattered, "Governor, you are a heroine among women, a heroine. Your breadth of mind and bearing are not something that ordinary people like us can fathom. Naturally, you will not imitate those ignorant little girls and be bashful..."
"Alright! Don't be noisy anymore. Otherwise, I'll really kick you down the cliff! "
Ye Xiaotian immediately shut up!
Yu Junting stared at him funny. She bent her knees and hugged her legs. She put her chin on her knees. Although Ye Xiaotian saw the sadness in her eyes, after what just happened, he didn't dare to ask again.
Yu Junting was at a loss for a long time. She sighed softly and took the initiative to speak: "Imperial Judge Ye, do you think that I, a female Chieftain, am really free and unfettered?"
Ye Xiaotian was puzzled: "Why, is it … not like this?"
Faintly, Ye Xiaotian felt that some melodramatic plot was about to play. It seemed like there was no lack of such plots in big residences. If there wasn't, the commoners would feel deeply regretful and would enthusiastically help them imagine some.
Yu Junting nodded lightly and said: "My father has three biological brothers but only has me as a daughter. Because he is the eldest brother, he became a Chieftain. According to the rules, I am the first in line to inherit the throne. But if a woman inherits the throne, do you think my uncles will accept it? "
Yu Junting's long and curled eyelashes blinked. She was already on the verge of tears. In her words, the three uncles who had made things difficult for her but were repeatedly humiliated by her had become sinister and ruthless old foxes. She struggled bitterly under the endless frame-up of her uncles, suffered humiliation, and was repeatedly plotted against.
Everything that Yu Junting said, the first half was true. The second half was improvised and sounded very real. Ye Xiaotian was filled with righteous indignation and couldn't help but angrily say: "To scheme against your own flesh and blood. You really have no humanity. You should be killed!"
Yu Junting's eyes were moist and she said sadly: "To Magistrate Zhang, I can be merciless. But to my own family, how can I be merciless? Since young, I wanted to be a woman like Madam She Xiang, to be loved and respected by the people. I don't want to be Wu Zetian. Even if I have the power to overturn the world, won't I still be alone? What's the point … "
Yu Junting gently sniffled and faintly said: "I hope that one day, I can reform them …"
Ye Xiaotian said: "County Supervisor is too kind. They are already blinded by greed. How can they be reformed by you?"
Yu Junting sighed: "As a niece, what can I do to my own uncles? They are heartless, but I can't be unjust. I can't reform them. As long as I can defeat Magistrate Zhang and lead the Yu family to become the number one family in Tongren, they won't dare to go too far! "
Ye Xiaotian was impulsive and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to help County Supervisor!"
Hearing this, Yu Junting was overjoyed. She held onto Ye Xiaotian's hand and said gratefully: "Lord Ye, thank you!"
Yu Junting was very pleased in her heart. She had been waiting for this sentence! When a man feels protective towards a woman who doesn't look too bad, it is the beginning of his fall. After that, she still wants your seed. Will you give it to her or not …
Ye Xiaotian thought: "This female chieftain looks good on the surface, but it must be hard on her. However, she probably thought that I was going to serve under her. Choose a side? How can that be? What I want to do is to build my own team! When the time comes, I will help you! "
… …
When Zhang Duo gathered the chieftains to discuss whether to send troops against Gedore's troops or to use cattle enclosures to settle the dispute, Yu Junting had already publicly declared: "Ye Xiaotian is my man!" After that, Yu Junting invited Ye Xiaotian to visit Guojialing, which confirmed this matter.
From then on, the civil and military elders under the County Supervisor became the Four Great Protectors in the eyes of outsiders. The brain was Wen Ao, the hatchet man was Yu Hailong. These were the people by the County Supervisor's side. In the government, the people she relied on as her left and right hands were Dai Tongzhi and County Supervisor Ye.
Among the four, Ye Xiaotian was the weakest. Everyone believed that the reason why the County Supervisor made Ye Xiaotian his confidant was because of his courage and strategy. Of course, there was no lack of malicious people who guessed that Ye Xiaotian was the County Supervisor's gigolo! The County Supervisor was already an old lady and had not been betrothed to date. How could she not want a man? So, there were many different opinions.
These rumors would not reach Yu Junting's ears. Ye Xiaotian did not know either. At this moment, he was concerned about the literary school and martial arts group that he had invested in. The literary school and martial arts group were still under construction. But the main buildings were already completed and they could start recruiting students.
As Ye Xiaotian had already asked Professor Li to help him find teachers for the literary school, the progress of the literary school was the fastest. They had already started to put up posters all over the city, announcing that they were recruiting students for free.
Ye Xiaotian walked on the school grounds that had yet to be leveled. Looking at the houses that were still under construction, he asked, "How many teachers and students are there in this school now?"
The old teacher in charge of the literary school was a failed scholar called Qin Zhen. This was the first time Qin Zhen had seen Ye Xiaotian. He replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, there are currently five teachers in the school. As for students, there are more than a hundred. The teachers are still very busy!"
Ye Xiaotian nodded his head, "Very soon there will be another hundred students entering the school. These people were sent over from Tixi Gedore. They need to stay in the school for a long time. I will find someone to arrange the food and accommodation. If there are not enough teachers, you have to think of a solution as soon as possible."
Qin Zhen said, "Your Excellency, rest assured. There are still teachers. It's just that we haven't recruited that many students yet. The teachers we hired are just sitting around doing nothing. Although we are a free school, we can't spend money recklessly."
Ye Xiaotian nodded his head approvingly. At this time, there was a group of students who had just entered the school carrying books and were about to enter a classroom. The teacher who was walking in front saw Ye Xiaotian and quickly stopped to say a few words to the students. The students all stopped and carried their books, looking over curiously.
As soon as Ye Xiaotian walked over, the students all stood up and shouted in a clear voice, "Hello, Principal!"
Ye Xiaotian thought that they were paying their respects to Mr Qin. He smiled and nodded his head, praising, "Good! Respect your teacher, you're worth teaching, you're worth teaching! "
Before Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he saw the students all bowing to him. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be stunned, "Mr Qin, this is …"
Qin Zhen said with a smile, "They are respecting you, Your Excellency! If it weren't for Your Excellency, they wouldn't be where they are today. Therefore, the teachers of this school have unanimously decided that Your Excellency Ye will be the Principal. "
"This …"
Qin Zhen said, "Although Your Excellency is busy with official business and has no time to teach in the school, you are the backbone of this school. If there is anything, don't Your Excellency still have to worry about it? So Your Excellency shouldn't decline."
Ye Xiaotian thought for a moment and no longer acted pretentiously. He said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll be a Principal who doesn't care about school affairs. I'll still have to trouble you, Mr Qin, haha …"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the school gate. Ye Xiaotian turned his head to look and immediately sped up his footsteps. Standing at the school gate was a person wearing the school superintendent's uniform. His skin was a bit dark and rough, and his temperament didn't match. This person was one of the relatives of the eight elders that Ye Xiaotian had arranged for Ye Xiaotian to teach.
Outside the school gate stood a ruffian looking man. His mouth was full of obscenities. The school superintendent was so angry that his face turned red. His skin was dark to begin with, and this made him even darker. Beside the ruffian was a seven or eight year old child. He was timid and didn't dare to speak.
Ye Xiaotian walked over in large strides and frowned, "What happened?"
The school superintendent was clear about Ye Xiaotian's real identity. When he saw him, he was immediately at a loss and said in panic, "Greetings … Greetings … Your Excellency."
Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and looked at the ruffian. He coldly asked, "What is he making a fuss here?"
The school superintendent came from the deep mountains. He was scolded by the ruffian, but he didn't talk back. He was only angry. If this was any other place, he would have pounced on him and given him a good beating. However, this was built by the Venerable. It was said that it was a place to teach people how to read and write, and to cultivate cultured people. He didn't dare to behave atrociously, so he could only endure it.
At this time, when Ye Xiaotian asked, the angry Ye Xiaotian couldn't speak clearly. The ruffian pointed at Ye Xiaotian and said arrogantly, "You are the great philanthropist of Ye Xiaotian School? You still haven't restrained your cultivation in Ye Xiaotian School? That's a good thing! But you have to be willing to do a good thing, don't you? What, you want to force my son into school? "
The little boy said timidly, "Father, I came by myself. I don't want to beg. I want to go to school."
The ruffian slapped him and said, "What's the use of going to school? Listen to their nonsense!" He then turned to Ye Xiaotian and sneered, "If you want my son to go to school, you have to get my permission, don't you? In order to fish for fame and praise, you used flowery words to coax an ignorant child. Is this how you earn fame? "
Meeting such a bastard who didn't know what was good for him made Ye Xiaotian furious. He jumped up and poked the ruffian's nose and scolded, "I've lived for so long, but this is the first time I've seen a bastard father who doesn't know how to behave! You're doing a good thing and you're making a mistake. You deserve to be poor for the rest of your life!
F * ck off, f * ck off right now! Even if I have a lot of money to burn, I won't waste it on people like you! Whether you want to go to school or not, it's none of my business! I'm spending money to support your son's education. Do I have to beg you? You don't know anything, you bastard bastard … "
His finger swayed on the bridge of that scoundrel's nose, causing that scoundrel's eyes to squint. Spittle sprayed all over that scoundrel's face, causing Mister Qin to stare in bewilderment. "This esteemed principal was very refined just now, why is he like this now? That's right, his nickname! He really … really lives up to his name! "
