Chapter 308
As for saying some polite remarks, at this moment they could only tremble their lips and say a single word, "Yes."
Everyone knew that by saying this, Yue Fuguang meant to employ these young lads, and they would be the ones using this treasure capable of transmitting voices over a hundred miles in the future.
The group of fathers standing on the periphery looked at their sons, who had been good-for-nothings just half a year ago, and now no longer felt their past disdain.
They only felt that although their own sons were a bit of a scoundrel, nothing could stop their good luck!
They had been interacting with the Junior Preceptor for almost a year and were still merely colleagues, but the young lads were already considered half of the Junior Preceptor's own people.
As long as they didn't act foolishly and court death, under the protection of the Junior Preceptor, even if they fared poorly in the future, they would still surpass their fathers and ancestors, doing better than their old men!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with smiles; aside from the royal family, there was no one who didn't hope their next generation would be stronger than themselves.
And they faintly gathered behind Emperor Mingxi and Yu Chongshan.
Soon, Yue Fuguang explained the steps clearly and said to the crowd, "Each of you take a walkie-talkie, ride a fast horse, and gallop in different directions."
She looked up at the time, "Limit it to ten miles; once you reach it, come back."
The few of them replied in unison, "We obey the Junior Preceptor's orders!"
Wei Yan and the others carefully took out a walkie-talkie from the box and hung it on their chests.
"Remember to report the distance every little while!" Emperor Mingxi instructed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Watching the eight fast horses gallop away, Yue Fuguang handed the last one to Yu Boming, "Second Brother, take this. Right now, you will act as the main caller to communicate with them."
At this moment, besides the one in Emperor Mingxi's hand, only the one in her hand remained.
Yu Boming had just gotten his hands on it and familiarized himself with it when a clear voice came from the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Boming, it's me, Cai Bing. Am I the first?"
The old father Cai Xian's face darkened when he heard his son's lively voice.
The old father, who was just feeling proud of his son, suddenly felt his hands itching again, and his callused hand unconsciously rested on the jade belt at his waist.
"Cai Bing, you're cheating! Boming, I am Huo Shui, I'm second!"
Another old father with a dark face was added, while the other fathers silently prayed in their hearts that their little brats wouldn't cause any trouble; otherwise, they would definitely beat their sons behind the Junior Preceptor's back before parting!
Yue Fuguang raised an eyebrow and gave Yu Boming a look, which he instantly understood.
Although the other party couldn't see it, Yu Boming's face instantly turned serious as he said, "Cai Bing, Cai Bing, this is Yu Boming. Please observe communication discipline, or your calling privileges will be confiscated. Respond if you copy!"
The other side hesitated for a moment and loudly said, "Copy that, over!"
Yu Boming similarly warned Huo Sui, and the communication channel instantly fell silent.
Soon, formal communication began one after another, and Wei Huaping and the other seven reported their current distances.
When they reached a distance of ten miles, the call was still clear, and Yue Fuguang signaled Yu Boming to call them back.
Taking advantage of the gap while they were returning, Yue Fuguang took a small wooden box from He Jin and handed it to Yu Boming, saying, "Second Brother, inside are the pills I prepared. The usage and effects have all been written clearly."
She patted the box and said, "Make sure to keep it safe and don't let it fall into the hands of others."
Hearing Yue Fuguang's words, the crowd silently blocked the figures of Yu Boming and Yue Fuguang to prevent them from being seen by more people.
Yu Boming carefully took the box, his eyes slightly red, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't worry, sister. As long as I am alive, the medicine will be here. I will take good care of the Three Forks Land for you!"
Yue Fuguang shook her head, "Although the pills are precious, they are far less important than you, Second Brother. I gave you the pills to save your lives.
Not for you to lose your lives protecting them!"
She patted Yu Boming's... arm like a little adult, "You must remember this, Second Brother. Don't put the cart before the horse!"
[Exactly, mere pills, is there a need for him to protect them with his life! Master, why is this Yu Boming still so silly!]
'Little Zhu, one pill equals one life. He is holding a hundred lives in this box, so it's understandable for him to act this way.'
[Master, you are just too lenient towards your own people!]
'If your master wasn't lenient, then when you broke my Seven-Treasure Glazed Lamp that could exorcise demons and ward off evil, shouldn't I have punished you to face the wall for three hundred years?'
[Ahaha, Master is the best! If Little Zhu was made to face the wall for three hundred years without moving, Little Zhu would die of boredom!]
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched upon hearing this. They all pursed their lips, trying hard to hold back their laughter. Without even looking, they could imagine the great divine artifact twisting itself into a pretzel right now, acting cute and coquettish.
Where was the slightest shadow of the domineering divine artifact that would casually cripple this one or strike that one dead to be seen now?
As for the box of pills that made everyone green with envy, several officials led by Cai Xian and Huo Ying silently glanced at their colleagues.
The deep meaning in that glance blatantly told their colleagues that the box contained their sons' chances of survival, and no one was allowed to touch it!
Otherwise...
Everyone silently lowered their heads. They weren't afraid of those officials, but rather taking the Junior Preceptor into consideration.
Even if they were given ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare touch a single bit of her belongings. Otherwise, once they went to sleep, they could forget about ever waking up again!
Looking at Yue Fuguang, who currently had a gentle and harmless expression, the crowd shook their heads; it was all a facade!
This person had never been known for having a good temper! Not to mention that protective divine artifact of hers.
Despite it acting cute with the Junior Preceptor right now, if they dared to make a rash move, even His Majesty wouldn't be able to save them.
In the eyes of the divine artifact, His Majesty was merely an ant slightly more noble than them!
Could Emperor Mingxi not understand this?
He understood it even better than his ministers. Given his friendship with Fuguang, why would he need to snatch anything?
If he really needed something, wouldn't it be faster and safer to just ask nicely?
Xie Zhiyan's eyes flickered as he imperceptibly swept his gaze across the scene, taking in everyone's reactions.
He unconsciously stroked the jade pendant hanging at his waist, which was one of a pair gifted by the Junior Preceptor for his wedding.
The other piece hung at the Crown Princess's waist.
Emperor Mingxi took the lead in praising, "Fuguang is still the most thoughtful. The Yu family boy is truly blessed to have a sister worrying about him all the time."
Yu Boming scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a red face, "Fuguang is naturally the best sister in the world!"
Yu Shuchun looked at Yue Fuguang with a face full of pride, then turned to his son with a stern face and said, "Since you know that, as an older brother, you naturally have to think more for your sister!
I don't expect you to be the best brother in the world, but don't let your sister worry so much about you at such a young age!"
Seeing his father's stern face, Yu Boming quickly said, "Father is right, I will definitely keep it in mind!"
Yue Fuguang teasingly smiled and said, "Second Brother, you must take care of yourself. Remember to send a message back home promptly if anything happens, and remember to come back next year to get married!"
She couldn't delay his marriage for her own affairs. Not to mention that her future second sister-in-law was a good girl, so of course he had to marry her and bring her home as soon as possible.
