Chapter 123 Short-term planning
The sun sets in the west, and the sunset glows!
Liu Feiyun stood in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, looking at the lights gradually lighting up in various places in the Liu Mansion, and felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart: It feels so good to be back home!
Liu Feiyun was the only one in the pavilion at this time, allowing him to think about his life plan for the next year in a quiet environment:
According to the old imperial rules, the direct descendants of the nobles in various territorial regions must go to the imperial capital Changluo to study or work for several years before the age of eighteen. Only after they have acquired a certain reputation or qualifications can they be eligible to inherit the territory and inherit it in the future.
In the past, the heir to each territory had to be decided and established by the emperor himself, and the determined future lord could be called the crown prince.
However, nowadays, most of the territorial nobles in various places have become too powerful to be eliminated. The successors of these lords are often decided by themselves, and the emperor cannot intervene. The lords only recommend themselves for titles, and the emperor will go through the procedures to approve them.
However, these territorial nobles would still send their legitimate children to the imperial capital Changluo. On the one hand, this was to show their loyalty to the emperor on the surface; on the other hand, it was to allow these legitimate children to gain experience, broaden their horizons, expand their network, and hone their talents.
I must arrive in Changluo no later than the early autumn of next year. After arriving in Changluo, I will have to choose whether to study or directly start working. If I choose to study, Changluo has several of the most famous colleges in the entire East Continent to choose from. If I choose to start working directly, there are naturally official positions specially prepared for young noble children like me, both civil and military.
I had already thought about this before I left the sect and went home. What I saw and heard on the way home also gave me a clearer plan.
The current empire, the current Great Chen Dynasty, is already on the verge of collapse, and the chaotic times are probably not far away. In the chaotic times, if a noble family like my family wants to protect themselves, they must have certain military capabilities. And relying solely on military force is also difficult to last long, and it is necessary to have scholars willing to serve and assist.
Therefore, when I go to Changluo, I have to build my image as a scholar and learn as much military knowledge as possible! As for whether to study or get a job, I will study for a few years first. I can't get a job directly. Studying in the academy should be easier than working for the emperor! How many years of relaxation are better!
Of course, accumulating connections is also of utmost importance! After all, this world is just a high-level martial arts world. Even a peerless master with extremely high cultivation and extremely strong combat power cannot fight against ten thousand armors alone, and even a thousand armors are difficult. The combat power of one person is limited after all, not to mention that human calculations may not be able to defeat peerless combat power. How can you win over and make new friends to strengthen yourself, isolate and divide and weaken your enemies without connections?
Before going to Changluo, he had to make adequate preparations. While memorizing various classics, history books, and other miscellaneous books, he also had to study the most basic military tactics.
Also, it's time to slowly build up the power that is directly under your control. No matter how good and strong your parents' power is, it's not as useful as the power you cultivate and build yourself!
As for the path of martial arts, the practice of Chaos Rebuilding and Creation of Heaven, and the study of various combat skills and secret methods of cultivation, naturally cannot be left behind. One's own cultivation and combat power are the cornerstones of self-preservation in this alien world.
In the next year or so, I will be very busy. I am afraid it will be even busier and more tiring than when I was in the Miyun Sect!
Alas! Why am I so miserable! If I had a natural talent for martial arts, my cultivation level would improve by leaps and bounds, my combat power would rise steadily, and I would become a peerless master at a young age. That would be great! At least it would scare my enemies, who would worry about being assassinated and retaliated by me all day long, and would not dare to harm me and my family easily.
It’s not like now, where I’m a useless martial artist and have a lot of enemies. I have to worry about my own safety as soon as I leave the house, let alone protecting my family.
Liu Feiyun was just daydreaming when he saw a guard rushing over. He bowed and said, "Young Master! The Earl and his wife want you to meet a guest in the west hall right away!"
"Meeting guests!? Meeting what guests? Didn't Eunuch Chen just return to Nuanbin Pavilion?"
"My Lord, it's not an angel sent from heaven, it's the County Magistrate Gao and his family who are here!"
"Mr. Gao, the county magistrate? A family? ... Ho ho! You came so quickly! Well, I'll go back now!"
As Liu Feiyun walked quickly towards the west side hall, he was wondering in his heart: I wonder what kind of person this Mr. Gao's father, the county's official, is!
In the west hall, Chu Bihe was chatting with County Magistrate Gao's wife, Wang, but Wang was obviously absent-minded.
Liu Shihao was cleaning his precious sword by himself, as if Gao Xian, the magistrate of Anping County, who was sitting next to him, did not exist. Gao Xian was ignored by Liu Shihao and did not say a word, but just stared at Master Gao who was kneeling on the ground.
When Liu Feiyun arrived, he saw such a strange and embarrassing scene.
When Liu Shihao saw his son coming back, he immediately stood up and said indifferently, "Master Gao! Now that my son is back, I will not keep you company any longer! Please forgive me for having to entertain the angels who came over. Goodbye!"
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave with his sword in hand.
"Uh! This! The matter of my son! Count, you haven't told me how to deal with him yet?"
Seeing that Liu Shihao was about to leave, Gao Xian had no choice but to stand up and ask.
"Dispose of him? Haha! I dare not! Anping County is the territory of your Lord Gao. I am just a small county lieutenant, and now I am still in acting position. How dare I deal with the son of Lord Gao's family! I dare not!" Liu Shihao stopped and said sarcastically.
Gao Xian was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he just stood there in a daze.
Wang is now over fifty years old. Although she is only five or six years older than Chu Bihe, her hair is already half white. Seeing her master standing there, she didn't know how to respond to Le Anbo's words, so she hurriedly walked up to Liu Feiyun and said, "This must be the prince! He is so handsome and dashing! He is a man of talent! He is not like the troublemaker in my family, who only knows how to make trouble all day long!"
Then she bowed to Liu Shihao and said, "He should never have offended the prince this time! My master has already severely punished him at home, and now he has been sent to the mansion specially, just to hand him over to the Earl and let the Earl deal with him!
Gao Xian also bowed and said to Liu Shihao, "Uncle... Brother Liu Xian, the rebellious son has been brought here. You can deal with him as you wish! I won't say a word!"
Liu Shihao snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Didn't I just say it! This Anping County is the territory of your Lord Gao, the territory of Mr. Gao. I am just a small county lieutenant, and I work under the command of the county master. I really dare not punish your Mr. Gao!"
"Ugh!" Gao Xian paused again and stood there again.
