Chapter 20 Defeating Genius with Genius

What Jacob said just now seemed to have magical powers. After he said it, the whole study room immediately became quiet.

Even the wind blowing into the study seemed to have stopped.

The whole study was shrouded in an eerie silence.

It took several seconds before Issel broke the weird silence.

"Jacob, are you crazy?!" Isser said urgently, "Su Cheng is just the teacher of Her Highness Ilsa now!"

"So?" Jacob asked lightly.

"He has never commanded an army, nor even joined an army! Is it proper to put 5,000 men at his command, and let him defeat 30,000 men?"

"Oh?" Jacob turned his head to look at Iser with an expression as if he had heard some joke, "Mr. Iser, if I remember correctly, you agreed with my point of view just now, right? That’s the point of view of genius.”

"This..." Issel choked.

"Jacob," Ge Zewen said in a deep voice, "how do you know that this Su Cheng is a genius?"

After hearing Ge Zewen's question, Jacob smiled and raised a finger to point to his head: "I feel it."

Afterwards, Jacob went on to say: "I have also led soldiers and fought in wars before, and I also know a little military knowledge, so after seeing the experience written by Su Cheng, I was also shocked. It is hard to imagine that such a great fetish was written by a 17-year-old boy."

As soon as Jacob finished speaking, Iser who was beside him nodded in agreement.

"Then, I saw this Su Cheng up close at the inauguration ceremony of Her Highness Ilsa's teachers."

The smile on Jacob's face changed slightly and became weird.

"How should I put it, I was shocked."

"Surprised?" Gozevin looked at Jacob in surprise.

"Yes, I was surprised." Jacob nodded seriously, "I, Jacob, dare not say what I am good at, but in terms of seeing people, I don't think anyone in Pendragon can compare with me. Get on me."

"After I saw Su Cheng for the first time, I was sure - Su Cheng is definitely a great genius! No, to say he is a great genius may still underestimate him. He is the kind of person who is rare in a thousand years. Great talent!" Jacob said in a firm tone.

"And, I believe—" Jacob turned his head and looked at Issel with a smile, "Mr. Issel should also feel that Su Cheng is extraordinary."

Issel was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly.

"My intuition also tells me that this Su Cheng is definitely not an ordinary person, but I don't think he is as exaggerated as Mr. Jacob said. It is still too exaggerated for a rare talent or something."

After seeing Iser both agreeing with himself and denying himself, Jacob just smiled intriguingly, without making any rebuttals.

Gozevin looked at Iser, and then at Jacob.

The study was once again shrouded in silence.

Not long after, Gozevin rubbed his temples on both sides in confusion, and said:

"In fact, I've always been curious. Is your so-called 'seeing people' really so magical? Jacob, how did you see from a person you met for the first time that he is a rare genius? "

Seeing that Ge Zewen didn't seem to believe himself, Jacob said patiently: "Although it's amazing to say that, but from the appearance of a person, the aura of his body, and the feeling of his gestures, it is enough to see that this person Is it a worthy talent."

Gozevin fell silent again.

At this time, Isel said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better not to be so reckless! Su Cheng is not an ordinary person, I agree with that! But I don't agree to let him go to the sky so directly,

Directly command 5,000 people! This is so reckless! Who can directly lead 5,000 people without any experience in leading troops? And use these 5,000 people to deal with 30,000 people! "

"It's wrong for Mr. Iser to say that." Jacob said indifferently, "The three leaders of the rebel army, didn't they just defeat our Britannia in a row without any experience in leading the army before?" The empire’s three crusades defeated our three Xingui knights back and forth, so the experience of leading troops is a joke in front of geniuses.”

Jacob continued: "Since the three of Anton, Abel, and Abt are geniuses, then use a genius who is even more talented than them to defeat them. Is there anything wrong?"

"Even if Su Cheng can command 5,000 people, can he defeat 30,000 people with these 5,000 people? Is he so amazing?!"

"Didn't I just say that?" Jacob said impatiently, "This Su Cheng is a rare talent in a millennium. What is it like to fight 5,000 against 30,000? What's more, the disparity in strength is even worse. I believe that Su Cheng can also handle it." .”

"you......"

"stop fighting!!"

Gozevin, who had been silent just now, suddenly yelled, and Jacob and Iser immediately shut up obediently and stopped arguing.

"...You two go out first." Ge Zewen rubbed his eyes tiredly, "Let me think about this matter again."

"Yes." Jacob and Issel responded in unison.

Afterwards, the two walked out of the study together.

Jacob, who was walking in front, stopped when he was about to walk out of the study, then turned around and said to Ge Zewen: "Your Majesty! If you want to use Su Cheng, you still have to ask his opinion first! We After all, you can’t force others to do things, it’s counterproductive! If Su Cheng is unwilling to take on this task, forget it! I believe that another person can put down this rebellion. If Su Cheng is unwilling to take on this task, then I recommend Alisa, the Knight of Two Oaks, as the commander of the Crusade Army! Alisa is also a rare talent, and among the Knights of Two Oaks, she may be the only one who can handle this rebellion!"

"Yes." Ge Zewen nodded, "I see, you two go out."

As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, Jacob turned around and strode out of the study.

 …

the next day. morning.

Pendragon, somewhere remote, small little house.

"Good morning, brother. Good morning, Deng Jiaer. Good morning, Kailuoer." Alan greeted Su Cheng while yawning, and at the same time walked towards his seat.

"Good morning, Alan."

"Alan! Good morning!"

"Well, good morning, Alan."

Su Cheng, Deng Jiaer, and Kai Luoer also said hello to Alan in turn.

It's breakfast time now, Kai Luoer made breakfast early, and 4 exquisite and nutritious breakfasts were neatly placed on the table, Su Cheng and Deng Jiaer also came to the table just now and sat down, waiting Alan came over, and now that Alan also came and sat down in his seat, he could have dinner.

Two weeks ago, Su Cheng's first salary was paid - a full 50,000 British lang.

50,000 Yinglang a month is already an incredible salary level.

And almost on the same day, Kailor's salary was also paid - 7000 Yinglang.

Compared with Su Cheng's salary, Kailor's salary seems a bit insignificant, but it is already a very good salary level for a 16-year-old girl.

The two combined their salaries, and the total was 57,000 British francs—enough to rent a hut in Pendragon.

Therefore, two weeks ago, Su Cheng and the others moved out of the stable and lived in a remote, small hut in Pendragon.

Although this small house is remote and small, it is cheap. The monthly rent is only 20,000 British francs. Although the house is small, it has everything you need. There is a small hall, a toilet and bathroom, and a room, a kitchen.

Because the space is relatively small, Alan and Deng Jiaer sleep on the bed in the house, while Kai Luoer sleeps on the sofa in the hall, and Su Cheng sleeps on the floor of the hall.

After finally moving out of the stable, life began to gradually improve, and the four of Su Cheng couldn't help but smile.

As usual, Kai Luoer was in charge of three meals a day for the four of them, and now the four of Su Cheng, as usual, sat on the four sides of the wooden table, chatting leisurely while eating breakfast.

"Hey, do you know," Deng Jiaer said, "the peasant rebellion that broke out in the Earl of York a month and a half ago has not been resolved until now. The empire sent three waves of crusades to wipe it out, and all of them were defeated Here comes the formation."

"Yes." Su Cheng continued, "This peasant rebel army is indeed of a certain level. The empire has sent three waves of crusades, and the scale of the crusades has become bigger and bigger. They have not put down the rebellion until now. Know how the empire will deal with this rebel army next."

After all, Su Cheng shrugged and said casually: "However, the empire decides how to deal with this rebel army. Anyway, it's none of our business."

"That's right." Kailor nodded aside, "It doesn't matter what the empire does next, it's none of our business, the four of us can continue to live our ordinary and fulfilling lives."

"Ordinary and fulfilling days..." Su Cheng suddenly murmured in a voice that only he could hear after hearing Kai Luoer's words. At the same time, a bit of confusion appeared in his eyes.

 …

Carol was the quickest to finish breakfast because she had to hurry to work in the restaurant.

And Su Cheng was going to Baiyang Palace to give lectures to Her Highness Ilsa this morning, so he was the second person who finished breakfast quickly. After breakfast, Su Cheng quickly put on the teacher's uniform, and then went straight to Baiyang Yang Gong went.

After coming to Baiyang Palace, after undergoing a lot of troublesome identity checks by the guards of Baiyang Palace, Su Cheng finally successfully entered Baiyang Palace and came to Ilsa's study.

"Good morning, Ilsa." Su Cheng smiled and waved to Ilsa, saying hello.

Ilsa who was sitting on the table reading a book immediately put down the book in her hand, and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are here."

"Have you reviewed the content of the last class?" Su Cheng sat in front of Ilsa while saying so.

Ilsa said angrily:

"Of course I studied hard. Teacher Cheng, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did anything good happen?"

"No good things happened. The only good thing may be that I can see Ilsa again today and give Ilsa a lesson."

"Teacher, you are so good at talking, you must be very popular with girls."

At this time, Su Cheng suddenly found that Ilsa's complexion was not very good.

"What's the matter? Ilsa, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's not that I'm not feeling well." Ilsa had a little worry on her face, "Didn't the peasant rebellion break out in the Earl of York a month and a half ago? The land can fight, and the crusade army dispatched three times has been defeated. Now a month and a half has passed, and the rebellion has not yet been put down. The rebel army has gradually grown from a few hundred people to an army of 30,000 Yes, grandpa has been worrying about this for the past few days, and I heard from the maid sister that grandpa hasn't slept well recently, after all, grandpa is a bit old, so I'm a little worried about grandpa's health."

Looking at Ilsa who was worried about her grandfather's health, Su Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a group of peasant rebels. It’s just that the Niya Empire hasn’t taken action yet, if our Britannia Empire does take action, this rebel army can be easily wiped out.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door!

As soon as the knock on the door fell, a voice came from outside the door.

"Mr. Cheng, His Majesty is looking for you, and His Majesty has something to tell you."

"Looking for me?" Su Cheng was taken aback.

What does the emperor want me to do? Have I done something bad recently? It seems not.

Although Su Cheng was full of doubts, he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he quickly responded:

"okay, I get it."

Ilsa looked at Su Cheng with wide eyes.

"Mr. Cheng, why were you called by grandpa?"

Su Cheng smiled wryly, and said: "I don't know either, let's talk about it first, Ilsa, please read the book first, I will go back when I go."

 …

at the same time.

Pendragon, the residence of Jacob Churchill.

Jacob was sitting by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping the black tea in his hand while looking at the scenery outside the window.

A waiter suddenly walked to Jacob's side and said:

"My lord, the commander of the Gabriel Knights and the unified knight Isser Hill is at the gate of the mansion right now, and wants to see you."

Jacob smiled and nodded.

"Let him in."

The waiter who received the order saluted and then withdrew.

Soon, Jacob heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to him.

"Mr. Jacob, is this really okay?"

Iser's voice came from behind Jacob.

"Do you really want Su Cheng to lead 5,000 people to put down this rebellion?"

Jacob put down the black teacup in his hand, then slowly stood up and turned around, looking directly at Iser with sharp eyes.

"Mr. Iser," Jacob said, "please have confidence in my judgment and in Su Cheng. I have absolute confidence in Su Cheng."

"Of course, Su Cheng can also choose to refuse this task."

As Jacob spoke, he turned his hands behind his back and turned around, rushing his back towards Issel.

"It's just that," Jacob said faintly, "I guess this Su Cheng will not refuse this mission."

"Why?" Iser asked suspiciously.

"Because." Jacob turned his head, showing a strange smile and looking at Iser, "I read from his eyes that he is not a person who is willing to live an ordinary life."
