Chapter 42: Unexpected achievements

In two years, Princess Salie has lost a lot of weight and looks much haggard. Looking at Princess Salie from afar, Kong Ming couldn't help feeling distressed for Salie's current appearance.

The pale and thin cheeks had an indescribable sense of beauty, and the white and delicate neck made people feel heartbroken. Under the long eyelashes, the big blue eyes were full of desolation. Saliye, who was standing next to Princess Nina, seemed a little out of her mind at this time. She felt that there were deep eyes familiar and trembling in the crowd staring at her.

Looking around, the crowd was noisy, hundreds of people crowded there to watch two peerless beauties. Princess Shaliye is the goddess in the hearts of all men in the Dragon Kingdom. Her thin figure and sad expression all intoxicated all men. All men in the Dragon Kingdom take it as their mission to protect the princess, and they all want to protect this beautiful, gentle and delicate woman in their arms.

Looking at the pair of hot and hot eyes, a hint of blush appeared on Saliye's pale face. He avoided those naked admiring eyes. Saliye was disappointed to find that she had not found the deep eyes she had expected.

After accompanying Princess Nina to select accessories, several people boarded the gorgeous carriage. Under the protection of the guards, they left the Lance jewelry store. The crowd surrounded the door and quietly looked at the carriage that was leaving, and it took a long time to disperse.

Kong Ming sighed at the carriage that was leaving. It seemed that Princess Saliye was very weak, and there should be some knot that could not be untied, which caused her to be so weak. After contacting Princess Saliye for a while, he knew that Princess Saliye was a kind-hearted girl. So he was praying for this kind girl in his heart, hoping that her health would be better.

Kong Ming also knew that Princess Shaliye had liked him, but he knew that it was just a kind of girlish ignorant feeling. He believed that after two years, she had long forgotten him.

After seeing off the two noble princesses, Sharons wiped the sweat from his forehead. These princesses must be careful to serve them. Although they are honorary earls, they are bullshit in the eyes of the princess. Being more careful, she socialized with the two princesses with a smile. Seeing the two princesses leaving, Sharons finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sharons watched the princess leave, called the carriage and was about to go to Wolong Yaju. When Kid came back, he talked about the boy who went to the imperial capital with him. Sharons immediately guessed that the little master was back. Unfortunately, he was very busy for a while and had no time to go to pay homage. Now that he was finally finished, it was time to pay his respects to the little master.

Kongming saw that Sharons was about to leave, and immediately walked over.

Sharons recognized Kong Ming at a glance with a look of surprise on his face. But instead of bowing on the street, he pulled Kong Ming into the carriage.

He respectfully bowed to Kong Ming on the carriage, and then expressed his wish to go to Tianlai City to Kong Ming. After being rejected by Kong Ming, Sharons felt a little disappointed. After being named a noble by King Guti, Sharons felt tired of life here and thought about returning to his little master at all times.

Kong Ming looked at Sharons who was depressed and comforted him a few words, telling him that he would find someone to take over the business here in a while, and let Sharons go to Tianlai City.

Then Sharons turned to joy and reported the business of the imperial capital to Kong Ming. Kong Ming entrusted Sharons' acquisition of books and ancient items, and told him the purpose of returning.

Sharons immediately told Kong Ming that he knew a friend who had a collection of thousands of books at home and often asked the Lens caravan to purchase various books for him. Moreover, Sharons collected a lot of old books for him, and even a lot of books were very rare.

Kong Ming immediately became interested and asked Sharons to take him with him. On the way, Sharons told Kong Ming that the man was named Uknech. He used to be the administrator of the Imperial Library, but now he is old and has been fired by the Imperial Library.

After being fired, this man copied the books he had read in the library at home one by one. He even spent his life savings on buying books. All his home was full of books, and even he lie on neatly arranged books when he even slept.

Kong Ming was very moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that there were people in this world who loved books as much as they were obsessed with books and life. Kong Ming went to the Uk family with anticipation, not knowing what this Confucian scholar in another world would look like.

Uk was about seventy years old, with snow-white hair and long white beard, and was wearing a snow-white robe. From a distance, he looked like a snowman, standing by the snow-white wall, he couldn't even see his person.

There is a kind smile on his face and a wise light in his eyes. He is very modest and has a gentle temperament in his words and deeds.

Uk was just a civilian, so when he saw Sharons and Kongming, he immediately bowed and said, "I have met Earl Sharons and this noble gentleman."

Sharons introduced Kong Ming to Uk: "This is the lord of Tianlai City Earl Kong Ming!"

Uk quickly saluted. He was a legendary prodigy who had been famous for a long time. He was sent to a war-torn border city and led only a few thousand people to destroy more than 300,000 troops of the Kaile Empire. His name had already shocked the entire continent.

Uk had an incredible expression on his face, and his eyes flashed, looking at Kong Ming with respect and salutation, saying, "It turns out that he is the respected Earl Kong Ming. The villain has admired you for a long time!"

Kong Ming quickly supported Uk and said, "Old sir, you are an elder, how dare you be so polite."

Uk was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Kong Ming was so humble, and immediately had a little good impression of Kong Ming. He invited Kong Ming into the room and Uk went to fetch water for Kong Ming.

As soon as Kong Ming entered the room, he was stunned by the books in the room. Uk's room was filled with books, and the bookshelf on the walls were neatly filled with books. The ground was also filled with books, and the whole room was almost filled with books.

Most of the books here are handwritten, and it seems that they were copied by Uk. With such a room of books, Uk is so patient and admirable!

Kong Ming picked up a book and flipped it out casually. Uk came back to see Kong Ming reading the book. He knew that Kong Ming was also a book lover, and his face was immediately delighted.

"Count Kongming seems to be a book lover too!" Uk said behind Kongming.

Kong Ming smiled slightly and said, "There is a beauty in the book, and the golden house in the book!"

Uk immediately changed his face and said happily: "I said it so well, and I said it so appropriately. This sentence is simply the most incisive insight into the book! There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book! Good! Good! Good! It is so well."

The two immediately felt that the distance was much closer and they were talking freely. From etiquette to law, from magic to martial arts, from history to geography, from politics to human theory, from military law to business, from ancient times to the present. With Kong Ming's knowledge and insights into the world, every sentence brought great shock to Uk.

When the sky gradually darkened, Kong Ming stopped talking with Uk who was in high spirits. Seeing that it was getting late, Kong Ming stood up and said goodbye. Uk reluctantly wanted to keep Kong Ming. It was rare to meet such a speculative person, which made him feel that there were still many things to discuss with Kong Ming.

Kong Ming thought for a while and said to Uk: "Mr. Uk, I plan to build a library in Tianlai City so that the residents of Tianlai City can learn knowledge. I don't know if Mr. Uk is willing to live in Tianlai City, so I am willing to entrust the position of library director."

Uk was slightly stunned when he heard this, then said with great joy and excitement: "It's great, of course I am willing. I have always regarded the library as my home, and I am willing to return to the library."

Kong Ming said with a happy expression: "It's just that the library in Tianlai City is still under construction and needs to collect a large number of books, so I'm afraid the library will not be opened yet, so I hope Mr. Uke can go to Tianlai City to help me build the library."

Uk immediately said: "There is no problem with books. My family has enough books to build a library. I still have four houses full of books. I am willing to donate all my books for opening the library."

Kong Ming immediately looked overjoyed and thanked Uk. He also instructed Sharons to transport all the books in Uk's home to Tianlai City. Uk was not worried about his books and prepared to go with Sharons' caravan.

Kong Ming then said goodbye to Uk and returned to Wolong Yaju with satisfaction. Today's gains are really great. Not only did he get enough books to open a library, but he was important to invite a knowledgeable library director.

If Uk was not of a relatively old grade, Kong Mingzhen planned to ask him to teach in the school and teach the children in Tianlai City.

After returning home and having dinner with my grandfather, Kong Ming returned to his room for a while.

The Pixiu was left in the room by Kong Ming all day long. When he saw Kong Ming coming back, he immediately jumped into Kong Ming's arms. He rubbed Kong Ming's body intimately, and took a deep breath of energy on Kong Ming's body.

While stroking the back of Pixiu, Kong Ming said to Pixiu: "I want you to do something for me tonight!"

Pixiu immediately looked at Kong Ming and nodded seriously.

Kong Ming told Pixiu about the location and distance of the Empire Library, and he left a trace of vitality on the fifth floor of the Empire Library. As long as he arrived at that location, he could sense it.

He instructed Pixiu to bring back all the items on the fifth floor, and promised to bring back the things there with Pixiu, so that it could absorb its vitality.
