"Yes. Oh, by the way, I plan to let her be my teaching assistant for a while. It is possible that she will give you lectures then. Remember to be good and don't cause trouble to your husband."

Chapter 689 Substitute Teaching

"So she actually wants to teach my class? Then where will my face go?"

"If you want to save face, earn credits. The academic system of the Imperial College was set by Emperor Gao in the Hongwu year. Students must collect credits to graduate. In the first grade, I will probably take the public classes for freshmen, but usually My teaching assistant will come to class. I will arrange for Phaethon to attend all your classes."

"Ah! Why... why is this?"

"Teaching is a mutual benefit. Having you give her real-time feedback will also be good for her to deeply understand the content being taught. You don't want her to learn nothing, right?"

"Well, what exactly does she teach?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I'll teach humane subjects like philosophy or sociology. After all, the Romans were not very good at science. Of course, it's also possible that I have a stereotype, because Phaethon was quite good at answering questions before. Anyway, You will know the specific classes she takes by looking at her preparations."

"All right."

"Oh, by the way, there is actually a very important thing to call you here - you and Victoria have always had a good relationship, right?"

Shangluo's heart tightened: "Senior brother, what plans do you have?"

[He is trading in stocks. 】

"what?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, was Victoria okay that day? She seemed to have been hit hard that day, but she still planned to come again. Did you hit her?"

"No, no, no, how dare I hit her. It's illegal to hit someone."

"Why are you pretending to be confused? I'm talking about mental shock. Is there any? Did you reject her? After all, you are pretty fair?"

"I'm not a steamed bun! How can everyone like me?"

"It shouldn't be." Zhu Xianfen pondered, "I think you are quite popular. By the way, your clothes have been cut. The important thing I am talking about is that a Roman envoy will come to discuss Victoria's visit soon. Question. You will be here soon. In addition to the good relationship between you and Victoria, you are also one of the few strong people that I can call at any time. "

"Ah, I won't ask where Senior Fu Yuanshan went, right?"

"Yes, he is not here today, but there are actually two other generals on standby. But I am not very familiar with them - after thinking about it, you are better."

Shangluo asked: "What happened recently?"

"The situation in Rome is very pessimistic. There have been many assassinations of members of the Senate in the streets. They are invincible within Constantinople, but it is hard to say outside Constantinople."

"They're all here with us, and they still don't feel relieved?"

Zhu Xianxen shook his head: "The power systems on both sides of us are completely inconsistent. Of course, it is foolproof for us. But if it is an assassination specifically targeting Romans, there may be abnormal situations. For example, the disembowelment last time It’s still an unsolved case. When they only killed Romans, it would be difficult for us to complete the chain of evidence.”

"That's true"

"So I think you seem to have experience in dealing with the Romans? Because you have indeed dealt with it. In fact, few of us have seen the Romans."

[Ah, this is true. Because there is almost no technical exchange between the two sides, and the limited exchanges are all concentrated in the Alexandria Lighthouse, so even if you have only participated in one ceremony in Shangluo, you are already an expert in learning everything. 】

"Alright." Shangluo shook his head. "I'm not saying we need to invite everyone in the lighthouse out or anything like that. Since it's my job, I'll take it. I don't have any objections. Is this afternoon enough? Do we need to arrange another time? I'm pretty free right now."

"The messenger's matter will be this afternoon. Then, Victoria plans to come in a safer way."

"Didn't she use the Alchemist to come here?"

"Yes, so the way it is used now is that she herself has to come here before the alchemist can maintain a stable link. She has to appear here once before she can continue to appear in the next time - I don't quite understand You can ask her about this later. Victoria will arrive at about six o'clock in the afternoon, and then on the envoy's side, the Ninghe has just taken off from Constantinople and will arrive in 5 minutes."

"Five minutes? From Constantinople to here?"

"Just in case, they used the ultimate thrust speed. You've seen it, the phlogiston thrust. I guess it's almost there now, let's set off. Although we can reach the sky above Yujing in five minutes, we still have to go through the landing procedure. Ten minutes." As he said that, he looked at the door. Someone at the door looked at him and said, "I'm going to change clothes. You should also go to the dressing room next to you and put on new clothes. Someone will help you change. It's okay if you don't know how to wear them. It doesn’t matter.”

"okay."

When Shangluo opened the door, he met the person who was about to enter -

"Ah, Your Highness the Queen, and Shang Gong. Good afternoon." Shangluo stepped aside and moved out of the way. He wasn't very familiar with this person, and he didn't want to make mistakes when he wasn't familiar with it.

"Oh, junior brother." The queen looked at him and patted his head, "Why does he seem to be taller than last time? No wonder Lingling likes to talk about you. Go change clothes. I brought your clothes too. Incense next door. I'm going to see your senior brother."

"Ah, Your Highness, walk slowly."

"Next time, just call me sister-in-law. That's what Zhu Ling calls me."

After closing the door, Shang Gong stood not far from the door, and the queen went straight to the table.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Zhu Ye, I listened at the door for a long time. Why did you let the little girl from Rome teach his class?"

"Why, Yang Jing, can't you see my clever plan?"

"I noticed that you seem to be doing strange things again."

"Jie Jie Jie, you are underestimating me. According to my judgment, the most annoying thing for a person is his teacher! As long as I let Phaethon teach him, he will know that Zhu Ling has How cute! And Victoria, the person a person hates most should be his client. As long as I let him work as a bodyguard for Victoria, he will know how cute Zhu Ling is!"

"What are you thinking about? Don't blame your own poor life experience on others. Just because you hate the teacher doesn't mean others hate him."

Behind him, Shang Gong covered his forehead with an expression like "it's starting again". That's what these two were like behind closed doors, so she closed the door.

"Did I do something wrong again?" Zhu Xianfen said in surprise, "It doesn't make sense. I've never seen anyone before, so how could I make a mistake? Mount Tai collapsed in front of me, and my face didn't change. I'm the emperor."

"So, to put it bluntly, your life circle is just that big. Zhu Ling has met more people than you. Besides, are you planning to recruit Liu Xuande? You are such a loser. Who can you imitate? It's not easy to imitate Sun Shi. Ten thousand."

"Why do these words sound so familiar? Did mom tell you?"

"Ah."

Chapter 690 Ceremony

"Why did she tell you everything? In short, I did this entirely for the sake of my sister. If my sister likes someone, I, as an elder brother, will help him to come over. Isn't this reasonable? Of course my elbow will go to my family. Turned here."

"Did Zhu Ling ask you for help?"

"No, but"

"She didn't say anything, so don't interfere. Listen to me! Change your clothes now."

"Um, okay." Zhu Xianfen nodded, "In this regard, I don't feel confident after hearing what you said. But if things develop to an unpredictable level, I will still take care of it."

"Okay, okay, don't show off your social experience. I taught you how to buy a monthly pass on the subway. It's no different from people who think 'pineapples grow on trees'. Raise your hands and put on your sleeves first."

While putting on his clothes, Zhu Xianfen asked: "By the way, how is the progress of the Lingsha Bomb?"

"The Yujing experiment has entered a closed period and its functions will no longer be changed. At present, we are just waiting for confirmation from several research institutes in the desert before we can start to 'light up' it."

"After the lights are lit, how about we go on a vacation?"

"After watching Doomsday Weapon that destroys the world, are you still in the mood to go on vacation?"

"Uh-huh." Zhu Xianfen patted her shoulder, "The virtues are widespread and the benevolence is as clear as the flow; the commander-in-chief reaches Yuyuan in the east, Kunlun in the west, Nanjiao in the south, and Chixian Shenzhou in the north by Chaohai; Mount Tai To collapse in front of someone without changing their expression is to be the emperor, that is to say, he is himself."

"."

"By the way, are these sleeves a little short?"

"Is it short? It shouldn't be. Ah, my sleeves are wrapped inside. Wait a minute."

"Eh? Don't you, Her Majesty the Queen, come with you?" Shangluo asked Zhu Xianen who was opposite him in the car.

"She has her busy work, which is much more important than my place - by the way, she was right before, you can just call me sister-in-law, just like Zhu Ling."

"Ah, but I'm sorry. I feel like I'm getting too close."

"It's strange, not to mention getting close to me, but I'm afraid of getting close to her. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, young man, you should learn more from your senior brother and expand your social circle. Come, have a try?" He handed over a small glass bowl. , which contains a large pile of yellow fluffy popcorn.

"Eh? This is"

"Popcorn? Don't you have any? The kind that pops out of a big pot at once."

"Ah, I ate this when I was a kid. I haven't had it in a long time."

"Try it then? Does it taste the same?"

"Hmm" Shangluo threw one in and chewed it, "This one is so fluffy."

"It's probably a variety of corn. This corn is the tribute corn sent by Maya. It tastes as juicy as fruit. It was specially selected according to our taste. Although it is delicious when eaten directly, it is difficult to make popcorn. It will expand one size at a time and evenly."

"Is there any rice?"

"Experts, I also like to eat rice. The one at the door is sold out today, and this is the only one selling corn."

"Isn't this everywhere?"

"Yeah, it's true. It's almost Chinese New Year, and popcorn is being made everywhere. But I can only buy it at a fixed store. I can't go to other stores, and there's nothing I can do. Because the owner of that popcorn store is Jin Yiwei."

Shangluo lowered his voice: "Everyone will have another meal after retirement, right?"

"Not really~" Zhu Xianxun lowered his voice. "It's not that we only trust our own people to do things. Besides, you've seen Mr. Hu from the barber shop over here. Everyone's pretty bored after retirement, so we set up a stall to reminisce about what it's like to be an agent now. We also find some mysterious things to entertain the old veterans. Want to have some fun? Just treat it as a way to keep the retired old guys company."

"How do you play?"

"When you go to buy popcorn, tell him the code and he will take out the hidden menu - there are also popcorn cubes over there, but they are not often available. I loved eating them when I was a kid, so next time I pass by If you see it, remember to bring some in for me. Oh, by the way, if he tells you about a new menu or something, be careful when buying."

"Did he put anything durian that shouldn't have been put away?"

Zhu Xianfen pressed his forehead: "He once put a chicken in and it collapsed. Ah, my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, I don't even want to remember." He looked out the window, "Ah, it's here, it's good that I don't have to worry about it anymore." Remember that chicken.”

As he spoke, he took out an earphone from the mezzanine of the front seat:

"Here you go, put this on. Use your headphones to stay connected later."

"Understood." Shangluo took the headphones.

[The signal has been connected. Oh, by the way, I care about the chicken in the popcorn machine I just mentioned and want to eat it. 】

"Okay, let's go and have a look next time." As he said that, he put on the headphones. "I always feel that after putting on the headphones, it suddenly becomes official."

"Does it feel like a 'court eagle dog'? A very cool feeling? That's right. The symbolic meaning of headphones has twofold: one is to 'isolate the outside world', shielding the surface noise and interference, creating a The aura of 'watching all living beings'; the second is 'connecting to the hidden world', establishing connections with people behind the scenes, creating an aura of 'controlling the situation' - the two are easy to get when combined: the symbolic meaning of headphones is 'power' feel'."

"Senior brother, have you learned this?"

"I know a little bit about it. How about, when you put on the headphones, do you immediately feel like you are a court eagle? Or do you feel like you are an 'agent'?"

"Yeah." Shangluo nodded.

"Then I'll give you this." Zhu Xianfen reached behind and took out a big hat. A big hat covered with black gauze. The golden peacock feathers on the big hat stand up toward the sky. "This is the big hat of the Imperial Guard. If you put this on again, you will be a genuine imperial eagle dog."

After getting off the car, I stood in the winter wind, the cloak on my shoulders fluttering like a big flag, and the dark-patterned round-neck robe under the quilt restrained my figure. This is what I ordered from the same master as Zhu Xianen last time. Made of robe.

The peacock feathers above my head shot straight into the sky like a lightning rod as soon as I got off the car, as arrogant as a peacock spreading its tail. There was a short knife hanging on his waist, which was the hunting knife he always carried.

Only then did Shangluo notice that there were people in front of him - two large Han generals in a phalanx, both wearing golden body armor and holding storm guns, lined up on both sides like divine generals. Invisible pressure came from the square formation. Those standing there were all Jinyi guards, all Qi practitioners, at least in the early stages of Qi training.

However, as a celestial being far above them, just the faintly exposed celestial hair under the hat is enough to indicate his identity. After dyeing it last time, Shangluo hasn't touched it yet. The ends of his hair are still black, but half of the roots are white.

"Shangluo, is that you over there?" Lu Huaiyang's voice came from the earphones. He was standing at the other end of the phalanx, standing on the other side of the airport, "Come here."

Holding his dagger, Shangluo walked past the group of men in golden armor, and the armed guards in golden armor saluted him with attention. Watching Shangluo hold down his dagger and strode past in front of everyone. The golden feathers on his head slowly swayed with his steps, like a peacock strolling.

"Lu Qianhu." Shangluo walked to the other end of the queue and stood in front of Lu Huaiyang.

"Here you go, sunglasses. Put on these and you're complete."

Shangluo put on sunglasses——

"Wow, it's a bit dark. But it can be adjusted. Is it necessary to wear sunglasses?"

"Mainly to cover your own eyes." Lu Huaiyang pointed to his sunglasses, "Well, not bad, you look very stylish. Sure enough, heaven and earth are different. Standing here, I can recognize you at a glance. Come on, it’s so conspicuous. Do you want some more murderous intent?”

"Wait a minute." Shangluo put the hunting knife back and replaced it with the Roman dagger given by Caesar.

"Ah, you don't have a murderous aura to use a magic weapon? This murderous aura is indeed possible. Come on, you stand in my position, stand at the front. Just pose, I will tell you."

Chapter 691 Nislok

With peacock feathers standing on the golden feather tube and wearing a black cloak, Shangluo stood in the winter wind like Lin Chong wearing sunglasses.

"Wait a minute." Lu Huaiyang walked around to him again and took off Shangluo's sunglasses. "Adjust your image again. You have such murderous intent, you don't need sunglasses. The red pupils are more oppressive."

"Is it okay if I just stand here?"

"Generally, when getting started with Jinyiwei, you start with General Han. Just stand still. On important occasions, just stand and watch, and you will get used to it. But you don't have to stand still and watch. You can move."

“Co-writing is a moving set?”
