On this day, Li Shui stayed in the palace until the red sun turned west, and then slowly left the palace, planning to return to Shangjun's courtyard.
When he reached the palace gate, Fu Yao, who had been seeing him off, said somewhat strangely: "Master, are you leaving now?"
Li Shui looked at Fu Yao in confusion: "What? Are you reluctant to be a teacher?"
Fu Yao scratched his head: "Not really. I just think...my sister and mother both have gifts, why don't I?"
Li Shui rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty doesn't have any gifts yet. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Fu Yao said: "You brought King Kuaiji back. Isn't this a gift to your father?"
Li Shui thought for a while and said to Fu Yao: "When King Kuaiji was trapped in Yuewang Mountain, he found a big tree on the top of the mountain, scraped off the bark, and wrote the words "Exile Immortal" on it. Then all the soldiers in the army Worship day and night, boost your morale, and finally hold on until reinforcements arrive. Do you want this tree?"
Fu Yao's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously: "This thing is very interesting. It can be regarded as a miracle to banish an immortal."
Li Shui said: "If you want it, I will give it to you. You can take it yourself."
Then, Li Shui turned around and left. Fu Yao was stunned for a while, then shouted behind Li Shui: "Master, isn't this tree still in Chu Di?"
Li Shui said without looking back: "Yes. I advise you to take action as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid you will be chopped off and burned by the ignorant Guizhou head."
When Fu Yao heard this, he quickly returned to the palace, planning to offer a large reward and send people to Chu Di.
Li Shui wandered to the entrance of the palace, and suddenly someone behind him shouted in a hoarse voice: "Excommunicate the Immortal."
Li Shui was startled and turned around to see a very embarrassed person behind him.
He looked at it for a while before he recognized it was Ju Fu.
Li Shui asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
The giant man folded his hands and said, "Sir, I've been waiting at the gate of the palace for a whole day. I haven't had any water or rice. I'm really hungry."
Li Shui was a little speechless: "Why don't you eat?"
The giant man said with a bitter face: "My family and money are all in Chu. This time when I entered Xianyang, I only brought a set of clothes. Therefore..."
Li Shui snorted and took out a piece of gold: "You're welcome."
The giant man didn't answer, but said with a flattering smile: "I heard that your Lord's Shangjun Villa is recruiting talented people. I wonder if I can..."
Li Shui asked: "What talents do you have?"
Jufu said: "I know how to be an official."
Li Shui chuckled: "What? Do I ask you to go back and be the master of Shangjun's courtyard?"
The giant man waved his hands nervously, and then whispered: "Just now, I was standing at the gate of the palace waiting for you, and important ministers of the court kept coming out in twos and threes. I heard that your majesty intends to send three young masters to go there. Want to practice outside?"
"Your Excellency, you must know how much scheming the poor have to do in order to have a full meal. How much scheming the rich have to do in order to be richer than the poor. The unscrupulous people in the county are all clever and cunning. The humble gentlemen in Xianyang City When I get there, I’m afraid I’ll be very anxious and even deceived.”
Li Shui looked at Ju Fu: "So?"
The giant man laughed dryly: "I am willing to stay with Mr. Fu Yao. I am not greedy for power. I am just giving him a warning to prevent him from being deceived."
Li Shui thought about it and felt that the role requested by Ju Fu was a bit like a master in later generations. It is indeed reassuring to have such a person beside Fu Yao, so he nodded: "Okay, in three days, you can follow the young master to Beidi County."
The giant man was very grateful and saluted Li Shui repeatedly.
Li Shui waved his hand absentmindedly and turned around to go back. As a result, the giant man followed again.
Li Shui asked helplessly: "What are you going to do?"
The giant man had a mean smile on his face: "Exiled Immortal, now I have nowhere to go, can you...can you follow me back to Shangjun's other courtyard?"
Li Shui was amused: "It's okay, that's okay. But you are a guest, and it costs money to enter Shang Jun's Courtyard."
The giant man was a little confused. This was the first time he heard that he had to pay money to be a guest at someone else's house. But... it should be just some reward money for those servants at most. How much money can be spent?
So Jufu agreed nonchalantly.
On the way, Li Shui said to Ju Fu: "Ju Fu, this time you follow Mr. Fu Yao to Beidi County. If something happens, you won't surrender to the enemy again, right?"
The giant man was startled and swore quickly, "I definitely wouldn't dare."
In fact, Jufu is not a bad person, but he is not a loyal and patriotic person who sacrifices his life for justice. If someone really puts a knife to his neck, Jufu will agree to that person's request and save his life first.
As long as life is still there, there are countless possibilities. Once a person dies, everything ends. If you don't have enough protection, the other party will spread rumors about you, and you won't even have a chance to talk back.
Therefore, on the one hand, the giant husband swore a poisonous oath, but on the other hand, he did not take it seriously.
Of course, if he did not encounter such extreme danger, he would still be willing to help Master Fu Yao with all his heart.
Li Shui looked at the giant man and said with a smile: "Are you really not going to surrender to the enemy?"
The giant man patted his chest: "I definitely won't. It's said that you can't bend with force."
Li Shui asked again: "What if someone promised you wealth?"
The giant man shook his head vigorously: "Being able to follow the banished immortal is the greatest wealth."
Li Shui laughed: "What if I allow you to be beautiful?"
The giant man said sternly: "I have never been lewd in my life."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction: "With your words, I feel relieved. Next, I will send people to test you from time to time. If you break your promise, don't blame me for being ruthless. .”
When the giant man heard this, he was stunned: "You still want to test me?"
Then, he couldn't help but laugh: How could anyone say it in advance before testing? That way there would be no unexpected effect, how could we get a real reaction?
So Jufu said with full confidence: "I will only test the immortal, and I will never be tempted."
What a joke, you already know that the other party is testing, how can you still be tempted?
…………
A quarter of an hour later, Li Shui took Jufu back to Shangjun Courtyard.
Li Shui greeted the guard Niu Cal and went in directly, but Ju Fu was stopped.
The giant man was a little panicked and asked the calf: "What does this mean?"
Niu Calf said: "Ticket money."
The giant man said: "I am a friend of the banished immortal."
Niu Calf said: "Then why haven't I seen you? Where are you from? Your accent sounds like you are from Chu."
Jufu said: "Yes, I am originally the governor of Kuaiji County, Jufu."
The calf's eyes lit up: "The giant clown? Haha, I never expected to see a real person today."
Almost all the craftsmen in Shangjun Courtyard know Jufu. Because these craftsmen would change shifts every few days to work as assistants in the Banished Immortal Building. While they were working, they would always hear stories told by the storyteller here and there.
Big ticket money lately. I'll give you fifty. When there is..."
Niu Calf took out his abacus and fiddled with it for a while: "After two thousand people have seen you, you can enter Shang Jun's Courtyard."
The giant man was a little confused: "Two thousand people? I am in Xianyang City and have no relatives or friends. How can so many people visit me? What's more, how can they come to see me with a hundred dollars?"
The calf pushed the giant man into the house and said, "Just sit inside and don't ask any more questions."
The giant man was pushed in and found that there was only one mat in the room. He had no choice but to sit on the mat.
Niu Dao smiled and took out a big copper lock, locked the door, and then asked a craftsman to help guard the door. He picked up a gong himself and ran towards Xianyang City quickly.
The calf ran and beat the gong: "The giant man is here, the giant man is here. The giant man himself is in Shangjun's courtyard. Take a look, come to Shangjun's courtyard to see the giant man. Five hundred One bit of money.”
For a time, not only the civilians in Xianyang City were alarmed, but the powerful were also attracted. Even those ladies who had just stepped out of their boudoir, after listening to the book for a few days, became interested and wanted to see what kind of person the giant husband in the book was.
As a result, the calf made a lot of money on this day.
The giant man sat in the room, feeling a little confused: Why do so many people come to see me? But... Xianyang people are too rude.
When these people came to visit me, they didn't even salute me. Instead, they gathered around the door and pointed, and some even threw some pastries. Most of these pastries have only been eaten once.
At first, Jufu was a little angry. But after waiting for several hours, no calf came to provide tea or food. I was really hungry, so I quietly picked up the cakes and took a bite of them unprepared.
As a result, someone saw this bite, and suddenly a shout broke out from outside: "Jufu also likes to eat steamed buns."
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of laughter, and a few people complained among the laughter: "You prodigal son, five hundred yuan a steamed bun, you actually use it to feed a giant man?"
The giant man sat in the room, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He wanted to leave, but every time Niu Calf said to him: "It will be one hundred thousand dollars soon. Don't you want to enter Shangjun's Courtyard? How can you do it if you don't have great perseverance and still want to follow the banished immortal?" "
Jufu thought for a while and felt that this might be a test for him by banishing the immortal. Yes, wealth cannot lead to sexual immorality, power cannot yield, poverty and lowliness cannot move. Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, and he must first work hard on his will, strain his muscles and bones, and mess up his actions...
Jufu feels that he is now in the stage of "walking around and messing up his actions". After he sorted himself out like this for a while, he became more and more calm and gradually calmed down. Receive his visitors with an optimistic attitude.
…………
Shangjun Courtyard had obviously received the news that Li Shui was coming back, so it was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and many people were killing pigs and sheep in celebration.
Even Xiangli Zhu, who has been obsessed with research and has no interest in worldly affairs, has come out.
Li Shui said helplessly: "It's just a long trip. As for this? It's as if I survived a disaster."
Xianglizhu said to him: "Stop bragging. It's just that you have pacified the Chu Territory. Are you so proud of it?"
Li Shui was a little speechless: "When did I brag?"
After sitting down, people kept coming to toast. The toasts of these people were all very strange. Some people complimented the banished immortal for his powerful magic, and some praised the banished immortal for his ability to make clouds and rain.
Li Shui was confused when he heard this: What is this? Did they get the wrong person?
After an afternoon of commotion, the banquet finally ended and Li Shui went to bed.
I slept until dawn when a craftsman reported that Wei Zhang, Jing Fu and other powerful figures from Guandong had hosted a banquet at the Immortal Tower to welcome the Immortal and cleanse him from the dust. He hoped that the Immortal could go there.
Li Shui was a little too lazy to go, but then he thought, after all, he was taking care of his own business, so he might as well go.
While getting dressed, Li Shui kept sighing: "I really don't love money. If it wasn't for the sake of the common people, why would I work so hard to make money?"
When Li Shui left Shang Jun's courtyard, the giant man also walked out of the hut. He said to the calf: "I counted yesterday, and there were a total of 2,300 people. Why aren't you letting me in?" Shang Jun’s Villa?”
Niu Dao said: "Because five hundred of them are children. There are rules in Shangjun's courtyard. Children under three feet tall do not charge admission. So it is equivalent to only 1,800 people visiting you yesterday."
The two were arguing when the giant man suddenly saw Li Shui's carriage and quickly chased after him.
The calf shouted from behind: "If you leave now, the eighteen hundred people will not be counted."
The giant man was a little hesitant, but then he thought about it: Wasn't he going to Shang Jun's Courtyard just to see the banished immortal? Now that the banished immortal is ahead, why should I enter Shang Jun's Villa?
So he quickened his pace and continued to chase the carriage.
And Niu Dao slowly began to count the money. While counting the money, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Now, it's all mine. Hehe, with so much money, how beautiful a wife should I marry?"
