111, interview
The fact that Tuoba Xingye accepted an apprentice would not hide it. It soon spread throughout the Shangjing Imperial City. For a time, both the Northern Jin nobles and the surrendered ministers of the Tianqi were discussed in the imperial city. The reason was no different, because General Tuoba accepted a Tianqi person, and a Tianqi girl, who was said to be only eleven or twelve years old and was still a child.
So, everyone felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
The nobles of the Northern Jin Dynasty felt dissatisfied and resentful. If Tuoba Xingye wanted to accept disciples, some princes and princes respectfully sent their sons and grandsons to ask him for advice. But he never let go. Even the Northern Jin Dynasty Emperor wanted to invite his two princes as disciples, but he refused. Now he has accepted an unknown southern girl?!
The Ancestors who surrendered to the Northern Jin Dynasty felt envious and jealous. Although they were all Ancestors, they wanted to be cautious in front of the people of the Clan. However, this girl was regarded as the only personal disciple by Tuoba Xingye. To be honest, even if she had this identity, even the prince would not dare to make things difficult for her easily.
Although Chu Ling didn't hear these rumors, she could guess a little. However, these were not something she needed to pay attention to now, because the Northern Jin Emperor sent someone to pass on the message and asked General Tuoba to bring his newly accepted disciples to the palace to see him. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see him, which girl who could make Tuoba Xingye relax and willing to accept disciples or even ignore the other party's identity was.
Although Tuoba Xingye said that Chu Ling did not have to contact the powerful people in the capital for the time being, the emperor could not refuse the summons. Chu Ling had to appease the worried Yaduo and followed Tuoba Xingye to the palace to see the emperor.
The palace in Shangjing was originally the palace of the Apocalypse. After the Clans entered the Central Plains, the Clans did not rebuild the palace, but directly used the old palace of the Apocalypse. However, Chu Ling also felt that there was no need to build it again. When the Clans entered the pass, anyone with some ability and backbone who had the ability and backbone would either die or flee to the south. If the Clans burned the palace in a fire, not to mention how much it would cost to build the new palace, even if they had money, they might not have been able to build such a magnificent palace.
Following Tuoba Xingye and walking into the palace gate, a solemn and majestic aura came to his face. Two rows of soldiers holding weapons stood on both sides of the road. When they passed by, they bowed slightly and put their right hands on their chests to salute.
Although Chu Ling looked at these people, he was also a little surprised. No wonder Tuoba Xingye was not worried that she would assassinate the Northern Jin Emperor, but the guards at the gate of the palace were all rare elites, not to mention the Northern Jin Emperor. What's more, if the Northern Jin Emperor dared to use a peerless master like Tuoba Xingye as a minister, there must be experts around him. Otherwise, wouldn't he be afraid that Tuoba Xingye would suddenly have a rebellious one that day and directly pinch him to death?
Chu Ling seriously suspected that Tuoba Xingye's special trip to take her into the palace was actually a warning.
"Great General!"
Perhaps to show closeness, the Northern Jin Emperor did not summon Tuoba Xingye in the main hall, but was in the warm pavilion on the left side of the main hall. When Chu Ling followed Tuoba Xingye in, he found that there were already many people sitting inside, but Chu Ling could only know one Tuoba Yin.
Chu Ling was not worried that Tuoba Yin would recognize him. Seriously, it had been two or three years since Tuoba Yin clearly saw her face last time. Even Chu Ling doubted whether Tuoba Yin really paid attention to her when she was in Tuoba Yin's mansion. Although Chu Qingyi and Chu Fuyi were somewhat similar, the temperaments of the two were very different after changing to Chu Ling. In the past, Chu Qingyi was young and weak, and could only live tremblingly under the protection of her sister. No matter who it is, he would not believe that in just a few months she could become a girl who was not weak and could attract Tuoba Xingye to take advantage of her as her apprentice.
So when Tuoba Yin saw it, Chu Ling not only did not deliberately dodge, but even looked at him with interest and smiled at him. Tuoba Yin was stunned for a moment, and soon turned his face to talk to the person next to him.
"I've seen Your Majesty." Tuoba Xingye raised his hand to salute.
Emperor Beijin was a burly man with a gray hair in his fifties and sixties. His face had a lot of wrinkles. Although he looked shiny, he could also see that he was a bit thin that was inconsistent with his burly figure. He looked twenty years older than Tuoba Xingye, but Chu Ling knew that Emperor Beijin was actually only forty-eight years old, and not a few years older than Tuoba Xingye. Despite this, his every move could not hide the momentum of a generation of heroes.
The Northern Jin Emperor looked at Chu Ling for a while before laughing: "Is this the general's newly acquired disciple?"
"Qu Sheng has met Your Majesty." Chu Ling also treated Tuoba Xingye's appearance.
"No gifts." Emperor Jin nodded. Although he was actually a little dissatisfied with Tuoba Xingye's acquisition of a southern disciple, he would not make things difficult for a child. Emperor Jin did not make things difficult for others, but it did not mean that others were not embarrassed. A middle-aged man sitting in the second place in the Northern Jin Emperor could not help but speak, "General, is this disciple you accepted? What's the use of a little girl movie that doesn't seem to be three taels of meat? This kind of apocalypse woman can only be used..."
"Uncle San!"
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man sitting next to Tuoba Yin opposite him. He smiled and said, "The general is naturally considering the general's consideration."
The middle-aged man also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so it was naturally impossible for him to admit his mistake. He just swallowed the subsequent words back with some angrily and stopped talking.
The expression on Tuoba Xingye's face also became a little more calm, and he said, "Your Majesty, Sheng'er is indeed a genius, but she grew up outside the pass. Her roots and bones are first-class. Only then did I see that Lie Xin happy to accept it as a disciple, and I hoped that she would pass on my mantle."
Someone hesitated and said, "What if she learned skills from the general but helped the Apocalypse?"
Tuoba Xingye said calmly: "If the people of the Clan cannot even win a girl who has just started practicing martial arts, it is better to go back outside the pass!"
The speaker was blocked for a long time and could not speak, so he had to look at the Northern Jin Emperor.
The Northern Jin Emperor smiled with a good temper and said, "The General is right. We should be tempered by the men of the Clan. If we really lose to a little girl, there is nothing to say. Then again, since we are the general's disciple, how about I named her a princess?"
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the Northern Jin Emperor was generous.
But then again, a princess’ title is not much salary a year. The princess of the Northern Jin Dynasty also has no fiefdom, so it seems to be very cost-effective to use it to win over Tuoba to show her favor.
Tuoba Xingye shook his head and rejected the Northern Jin Emperor's proposal, "Qu Sheng is my disciple and has nothing to do with anything else. She only needs to inherit my martial arts mantra." This also gave the Northern Jin powerful people a reassurance. Although Tuoba Xingye accepted Chu Ling as his apprentice, he would only teach her martial arts. He would not let her be affected by any power of the court and the Northern Jin soldiers and horses. She was just Tuoba Xingye's apprentice and had nothing to do with the Northern Jin soldiers and horses.
The Northern Jin Emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Ling and asked, "Qu Sheng, what do you say?"
Chu Ling raised his eyes and said, "I listen to Master, thank you for your kindness."
