The First Tyrant of Daxia

Tang Jian and others were all silent. After a year, the formation of the navy was not only lacking in support, but the large steel ships had not been built.

More importantly, there are still many vacancies for generals who can lead troops in battle in the navy selection.

In short, the top positions are still vacant.

Many talents emerged, but Qin Yun was not particularly satisfied with any of them.

There was silence for a while.

Tang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty has won the top prize in the Perch Prize, I believe that day will not be too far away."

"Thank you for your good words!" Qin Yun smiled.

Tang Jian bowed quickly: "Your Majesty, I dare not."

At this time, Tong Wei suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no, someone is drowning on the shore!"

Everyone looked over immediately.

On the east side of the river, I saw a middle-aged man who was fishing fell into the water and was struggling. Although he knew how to swim, he didn't know if he had cramps or was weak, but he was sinking little by little and was about to be swallowed.

He shouted in fear: "Help, help!"

Qin Yun's brows sank. He thought it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch someone die.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the shore and dived into the water with a bang.

He was very agile, swinging his arms in circles and doing breaststroke continuously, splashing a lot of water.

Although the Grand Canal is fast-flowing, deep and wide, it could not stop his steps. In other words, it was like walking on flat ground!

Even some officers and naval commanders on board could not help but exclaim: "Wow, this guy is even more fishy than a fish!"

"You're swimming too fast!"

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid he has been swimming since his mother's womb."

Qin Yun was also slightly shocked and stared at him intently. If this man were placed thousands of years later, he would at least be a world champion in swimming.

That speed is simply inhumane!

"It is true that every profession has its own top talents. Live by the water, live by the water; live by the mountain, live by the mountain. The local water and soil nurture the local people. Everyone, now you know why I don't recruit navy troops from all over the imperial capital, right?"

Everyone bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is thoughtful and far-sighted, we are not as good as him."

Qin Yun put his hands behind his back, his black hair flying: "Turn around and drive the boat over to rescue them. The water is too fast, and if we drag a person, the rescuer will be in danger!"

Hearing this, everyone was filled with admiration. Even ordinary people could receive such help from His Majesty.

Your Majesty, you are truly kind and righteous!

Then the big ship turned around and sailed past.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers tied ropes and went into the water to help rescue people.

In just a few moments, the rescuer and the person who fell into the water were pulled onto the boat.

Qin Yun and everyone else were slightly stunned. The rescuer was actually a boy, about fifteen years old!

He has an ordinary appearance and dark skin, but he has a good figure and is quite strong. He wears very tattered clothes.

At this moment, he was standing wet on the wooden board, looking at the luxurious ship and the rich and powerful people's fine clothes, feeling a little at a loss, with a hint of deep inferiority in his eyes.

But his eyes are bright and give people a feeling of perseverance.

"What's your name?" Qin Yun walked out and gave his subordinates a look, handing him a dry towel.

He spoke in a rough voice, glanced at the clean and delicate wool brocade, and did not take it.

Instead, he knelt down and said, "My name is Deng Gu, and I live in Xifeng Town. Thank you for saving my life just now."

Hearing this, everyone smiled slightly. This boy is good and polite.

Tong Wei said in a rare gentle voice, "Just take it if I tell you to. Hurry up and wipe it off and go to the cabin to change clothes. Don't catch a cold and make your father and mother worry."

Deng Gu glanced at Tong Wei, his eyes were shocked, and he quickly lowered his head in fear, not daring to look any further.

It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful sister, with such holy and white cheeks that looked like a fairy descending from heaven.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Do I look fierce?" Tong Wei grinned!

"No, no, I... I just have to distinguish between the superior and the inferior!" He thought of a word and said it immediately.

Tong Wei became interested and asked with a smile, "How do you know that we are nobles?"

Deng Gu glanced around and said seriously, "Even the richest man in our town doesn't have such a luxurious ship. This ship can hold nearly a thousand people, right? As long as it doesn't hit any reefs or encounter a tornado, it should be as stable as a rock."

"Besides, even the highest-ranking official among us doesn't have so many guards with swords."

As he spoke, there was a hint of curiosity and caution in his eyes.

But there was no pure fear.

Qin Yun's eyes lit up, and Tang Jian and the others looked at each other. This kid has good eyesight, which is rare.

puff!

Tong Wei laughed, her eyes bright and her teeth white, she couldn't help laughing.

"Hurry up, wipe your hair and change your clothes."

Deng Gu seemed very embarrassed. He had been living in poverty since he was a child, so how could he dare to use such a good thing?

I quickly postponed it awkwardly: "No, no!"

"Thank you for your kindness, my dear lords. I have been rolling in the river since I was a child, so I won't catch a cold."

"I still have to go fishing, so I won't bother you anymore."

As he said this, he wanted to leave.

When Qin Yun saw him, he thought of Gongsun Zhongmou. They were both very young, but Gongsun Zhongmou was a descendant of aristocracy and had a capable aunt.

But this Deng Gu is too ordinary, a person from the lower class.

I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you go and fight? And jump into the river again?"

"If I drown, I will become a murderer."

Deng Gu was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that something seemed wrong.

My eyes froze for a moment!

I, what does I mean?

Although he was uneducated and poor, he still had some idea of ​​the emperor, a god-like figure.

His expression suddenly changed, he took three steps back, and said in shock: "You, you...you are the emperor?"

Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, and when he said it was a habit, he let the cat out of the bag.

But that’s okay.

He said with a smile: "Besides me, who else dares to wear clothes embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons?"

He lifted up his cloak, revealing a light golden five-clawed dragon embroidery underneath.

"This, how is this possible..." Deng Gu's mind went blank.

The town's mayor was the most powerful person he had ever met. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by people and had enormous power.

Now, suddenly seeing the legendary figure was like seeing a god, and shock was written all over his face.

Seeing this, Tong Wei and others burst out laughing again.

"You still don't salute?"

These words woke Deng Gu up from his dream. He trembled all over and knelt down almost instinctively with his hands on the ground.

Shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, long live!"

"Long live long live!"

He imitated what he had heard and shouted, but his voice was so awkward that it made people burst into laughter.

At this moment, Qin Yun thought of the top scholar perch just now, and immediately met Deng Gu again. Perhaps this was fate, and he felt a little bit of desire to cultivate him.

Guo Ziyun and his generation are old. When this generation is gone, Daxia will be cut off. When Rui'er succeeds to the throne, it will depend on people like Aliang and Gongsun Zhongmou to assist.

So he wanted to train some teenagers.

"Get up, I command you, take the towel, wipe yourself clean, and change your clothes."

"Mr. Feng, take him there."

"Yes!" Old Feng bowed, and then showed Deng Gu a kind smile, which was something that his disciple Aliang had never seen before.

Mr. Feng understands Qin Yun, so he is so friendly.
