Chapter 1043 Small Courtyard

After coming out of the commander's office, Shen Hao went to the palace to meet the emperor Yang Shu.

The emperor was very satisfied with the results Shen Hao produced, both the results and the time it took were much better than the emperor expected.

However, regarding the matters left over from the last four sects, the emperor did not plan to honestly return those resources as Shen Hao expected.

"What a joke! Their sect can secretly poach Guochao's corners, and Guochao is not allowed to punish them openly and reduce them? Shen Hao, you are now the chief deacon of foreign affairs at Fenghong Villa, and you are also duty-bound to handle this matter. Don't lose the prestige of the country, understand?" The emperor said at the time.

Speaking of this, it is already obvious that the emperor wants Shen Hao to withstand the pressure of the sect. However, there was no order to die, which may also take into account that the sect's advantages are not so easy to take advantage of, and there are many unpredictable situations. But one thing the emperor made very clear was that the sect needed to be "punished and reduced" to let them know the price they would pay for reaching out indiscriminately.

So in the final analysis, the "speed" has to be controlled by Shen Hao himself.

If you want things to be simpler, then give up most of the seized resources, but this will reduce Shen Hao's points in front of the emperor, and even be regarded as "perfunctory" by the emperor.

On the other hand, if you want to show your face in front of the emperor to get extra points, you will inevitably have friction with the sect forces, and the pressure will definitely not be small.

If it was changed in the past, Shen Hao might have adopted a handling method that favored the former, because compared to not being able to get a high score from the emperor, it would be a big deal if things intensified and became self-defeating and out of control.

But now he doesn't think so.

Because I saw the tyranny of Fenghong Villa. Since the power of the Jingjiu Dynasty not only comes from the large number of major armies, but also has strong confidence in individual strength, Shen Hao agrees with the emperor's idea very much: Zongmen can't easily expose the wrong things. Punishment must be in place no matter what.

As for why the previous emperors didn't do this? It doesn't matter, that was before, and the current emperor is Yang Shu, who is a narrow-minded and narrow-minded person. If you provoke, you must be prepared to be doubled.

When he came out of the palace, Shen Hao already had a decision in his heart. In addition, the emperor did not mention any topic about Shen Hao's position. He didn't let him make any choice between Xuanqingwei and Fenghong Villa. This place made Shen Hao ponder for a while. It seems that the emperor has no plans to let him move from Xuanqingwei, and at the same time, he didn't say whether the errands of Fenghong Villa on his head will be relieved after the current affairs of the Zongmen are settled.

Ambiguous seems to be dragging the look?

After leaving the imperial palace, Shen Hao did not return to Fengri City, but changed his carriage, Qingqi all the way out of the imperial city, and rushed to Fenghong Villa. It's all here, so I have to deal with the orders of the big brother Yang Shan, right? Besides, Shen Hao is very concerned about becoming Yang Shan's disciple, whether it is for selfish reasons or because of the needs of his errands.

This time, because of the golden sword accessory hanging on his waist, Shen Hao was welcomed in directly, instead of waiting in the waiter like last time.

However, after entering the villa, they avoided the obvious main road, took a secluded small stone road, and then turned up and down along a stream. After walking for about half an hour, they saw a small road not far away. A small courtyard stands on the hillside. That is the residence of Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi.

"The two patriarchs have ordered that Master Shen can go directly to see them if they come. However, these guards of Master Shen can only guard here. The front is the forbidden area of ​​the villa. There is no order from the ancestors or special circumstances. Can't set foot on it."

After Shen Hao nodded, he let a few guards stay where they were, and continued to walk forward without the need for people from Fenghong Villa to lead the way. There is only a gravel road from here to the small courtyard on the hillside in front, and there will be no detours.

I thought that since it was called Fenghong Villa's forbidden area, there would definitely be a lot of formation defenses and barriers, but it was only when Shen Hao stepped on this gravel road that he realized that he was wrong. There is no fluctuation in a single formation here. The only good thing is that the aura here is much stronger than outside.

However, compared to the first-class sects that Shen Hao had been to, the aura of Fenghong Villa seemed to be far behind. I don't know why.

"With two patriarchs here, why do we need a magic circle barrier?" Shen Hao laughed at his previous thoughts in his heart. Without stopping, he walked quickly towards the courtyard.

The yard is not small, it is simply fenced, but there are only three houses inside. There is a hall facing south and one on the east and west sides.

The courtyard dam is very spacious, with a radius of more than ten feet. It is paved with blue bricks and cleaned very cleanly. There is a big tree for shade, and there are stone tables and benches under the tree.

"Boy Shen Hao asks to see the two ancestors!"

Shen Hao stood more than three feet outside the fence of the yard and stopped moving forward. He bowed and bowed his hands, and greeted the yard with a loud voice.

Yay, the door of the main room in the middle was pushed open from the inside after Shen Hao greeted him.

Two people came out, the first one was Yang Shan, and the second one was a tall and thin old man, who must be the other "Fire Ancestor" Yang Qingzhi of Binghuo Patriarch.

In fact, "the old man" is actually just called from his age. On the outside, neither Yang Shan nor Yang Qingzhi looks old, and they look more like middle-aged people.

"Come in. You came quickly." Yang Shan smiled and beckoned Shen Hao to go in. Yang Qingzhi in the back looked Shen Hao up and down expressionlessly.

Having entered the small courtyard, Shen Hao paused, his expression froze. He never thought that there would be such a big difference in just a few steps away, in terms of rich aura.

Just now it was said that the aura in Fenghong Villa is much lower than that in Guishan Seminary, but the aura in this small courtyard is probably several times higher than what Shen Hao felt in Guishan Seminary!

Yang Shan sat on the stone bench under the big tree, put the tea set on the table, greeted Shen Hao with a smile, and said at the same time: "Don't act like you have never seen the world. There is a spiritual spring in the ground. Let's open it. A spring came out for daily maintenance of cultivation. Compared with the outside, it is thicker, but it is nothing. If you have the opportunity to visit Wanjuan Shushan and the quiet room of Mingshanzong in the future, that is The aura is like water, so rich that it can be seen with the naked eye.

Come here, sit down, can you make tea? "

Shen Hao quickly regained his composure and walked over quickly, but looked at the tea sets with embarrassment on his face. He was not interested in drinking tea so he knew how to make tea at all, and he didn't even know how to use the tea sets Yang Shan took out.

Seeing Shen Hao's expression, Yang Shan was also taken aback, and said, "You don't know how to make tea?"

"Yes, the boy usually drinks tea just to quench his thirst. If he doesn't like this one, he hasn't learned it."

Yang Shan shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, let me brew it. You get to know him, this is my senior brother, Master Mingyang, Yang Qingzhi."
