"Miss Zhu's words are a bit wrong. The imperial court asked me to make salt for the royal family, but it also gave our village more protection. Now if anyone dares to take advantage of our village, they have to consider being beheaded. It's risky." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Even without the protection of the imperial court, Mr. Li did not allow your village to suffer any losses." Zhu Hongyan said.
"The situation is different now. Besides, how can I have so much energy to guard against this and that? With the court guarding the village for me, I can feel less worried and feel more at ease." Li Qian said.
"It turns out that Mr. Li's previous aloofness was all an act. In the final analysis, he is also a vain person!" Zhu Hongyan said, "The imperial court only gave you a small salt supervisor, and you are completely devoted to the imperial court. .”
Li Qian just looked at Zhu Hongyan with a smile, "Isn't Miss Zhu also anti-imperial like those in Hengshui Thirteenth Ward?"
"Don't compare me with rebels like Hengshui Thirteenth Ward." Zhu Hongyan just said.
"It seems that Miss Zhu is quite a respectable person." Li Qian said, touching her chin.
"Mr. Li, you don't have to laugh at me. Now that the words have come to this, I don't have to hide from you anymore. I'm here to recruit you on behalf of His Highness Xian Wang!" Zhu Hongyan said.
"His Royal Highness Xian Wang?" Li Qian raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, His Highness King Xian is always eager for talents. Corporal Li Xian, if Mr. Li can seek refuge with His Highness King Xian, His Highness King Xian will definitely value you more than the court, allowing Mr. Li to make the most of his talents!" Zhu Hongyan said.
Li Qian smiled, "I, Li Qian, don't seem to have anything worthy of attention, and I don't think I have any talents."
"Mr. Li, why should you be humble? Mr. Xu has spent all his efforts to recruit you for the imperial court. Isn't it because he took a fancy to your talents? Besides, none of the things you have done is earth-shattering. Mr. Li, the imperial court's official There are too many restrictions, His Highness King Xian is the path you should choose!" Zhu Hongyan said.
"Miss Zhu, please excuse me, who is His Highness King Xian?" Li Qian said with a smile.
Zhu Hongyan's breathing was stagnant, and she felt a bursting sensation in her chest. After saying so much just now, she felt like she was playing the piano to a cow.
How could he not even know His Highness King Xian?
After taking a closer look at Li Qian, he confirmed that this person seemed to really not know His Highness King Xian.
"Mr. Li, His Royal Highness King Xian is the younger brother of the current emperor. He made Xianzhou the king, so he is called King Xian. His Royal Highness King Xian has always been wise and praised by the people of Xianzhou. Only such a virtuous king is truly worthy of the throne. When doing things for the people, you are thinking about the people. Mr. Li, I believe you know very well that the imperial court is weak now, so it is a wise choice to seek refuge with His Highness King Xian!"
Zhu Hongyan explained patiently.
"Then will you rebel?" Li Qian suddenly asked.
Zhu Hongyan's breathing stagnated again.
"Mr. Li, why do you ask this?"
"If you don't plan to rebel, why are you recruiting talents?" Li Qian asked.
Zhu Hongyan took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Li, I can only say that His Highness King Xian is determined to benefit the people of the world."
"In other words, there will still be rebellion." Li Qian smiled.
Zhu Hongyan suppressed the fire that was rising in her chest, "Mr. Li, don't you want to do something for the people of the world?"
"My ideals are not that high. I am very satisfied with my current life. Everyone says they are doing it for the people of the world, and they are not selfish." Li Qian shook his head and said, "To put it bluntly, they all want to be emperor!"
Zhu Hongyan was a little surprised that Li Qian said such a thing.
"Mr. Li, His Highness King Xian has no intention of seizing the throne. He really just wants to do something for the people of the world."
"Okay, you don't need to say anymore. It's none of my business whether King Xian has the idea of seizing the throne." Li Qian waved his hand.
"Mr. Li, what you are saying is that you do not intend to seek refuge with His Highness King Xian?"
"Why should I seek refuge with him? I'm free now, so why should I look for trouble?" Li Qian said.
"Mr. Li, are you really going to stop thinking about it?" Zhu Hongyan's face turned cold.
"What? Miss Zhu is not planning to kill me, is she?" Li Qian smiled.
Ah Xing, who had been standing aside without daring to say anything, was suddenly startled.
This possibility is really possible.
After all, there are many people lurking here.
"Mr. Li, if you have the chance, I really hope you can go to Xianzhou for a walk. Maybe some of your ideas will change!" Zhu Hongyan said.
"I won't kill you, and I can't kill you. What I want to thank is that you let me go!"
