"Here he comes, here he comes again..."
In the distance, a luxurious carriage bumped along the muddy road, heading towards his small hut.
Behind the carriage were a dozen elegantly dressed people and a group of big men.
Sima Qiu stood up, feeling very angry. Today he wanted to make a complete end with these people.
I can't be reused by you, I, I... I will die here.
Li Ke personally took action today, and he was ahead of the prince and Li Tai's people. If Sima Qiu was discovered to be a worthless fool, everything would be in vain.
He has learned that Li Tai's teacher Wang Gui personally took action.
When he got off the carriage, he saw Sima Qiu standing in the yard. The fence that was demolished that day was not repaired...
But the thatched house was demolished at some time, and the thatch on the house was gone.
"Who did this?"
Haizhu immediately stepped forward and said: "The weather changed last night. There was a strong wind all night, and the thatched house was blown away!"
oh!
This guy is quite unlucky.
"Did he compose a poem, such as "The Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind" or something like that?"
When Li Ke saw this scene, he thought of Du Fu and couldn't help but want to show off, but unfortunately he couldn't get the right number.
Du Fu is like the autumn wind. Now the grass is growing and the orioles are flying in the February sky, and the willows are blowing in the spring smoke. It's just that the wind was a bit strong last night.
"That's all!"
Li Ke walked into the courtyard, cupped his hands towards Sima Qiu Gong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sima, please introduce yourself first. I am Li Ke, the current king of Shu."
"I was the one who acted abruptly before. You are a man of great ability, how can you ask him to come down at once? Therefore, I decided to imitate Liu Xuande and visit the thatched cottage three times and ask Mr. Sima to come out and serve me."
"Wha...what?"
Sima Qiu's mind was a little confused. Who is this young man in brocade clothes?
He said that he was His Majesty’s third son, King Li Ke of Shu? ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
"Sima Qiu, a common man, pays homage to His Highness the King of Shu." Sima Qiu was startled and quickly knelt down to worship.
"Bring the gift in..."
Li Ke waved his hand, and a dozen people behind him took various gifts and placed them in the yard.
Sima Qiu looked at the gifts. Some of them he had never even seen before, but they looked like valuable things.
Li Ke then looked at Sima Qiu who was kneeling in front of him and said with a smile: "Sir, are you willing to follow me and serve me?"
"This king paid three visits to the thatched cottage for the sake of your husband. This is a sign of your sincerity."
"Grass people, grass people..."
Sima Qiu was deeply moved. It turned out that the King of Shu was not playing tricks on him, but invited him out of the mountain in order to imitate Liu Bei and visit the thatched cottage three times.
This sincerity is enough for him to work hard for the King of Shu.
He knows very well what kind of virtue he has and how much ink he has in his belly.
"The kindness of the King of Shu will be greatly appreciated by my subordinates. I am willing to serve the King of Shu to the best of my ability."
"gentlemen……"
Li Ke stepped forward and supported Sima Qiu with both hands, crying and shaking his hands, as if he had finally waited for Sima Qiu's allegiance.
"King of Shu..."
Sima Qiu cried, crying very happily. All the sins he had suffered before seemed to be released at this moment.
Then the blood boiled, ready to serve the King of Shu to the death.
A scholar dies for his confidant, and the King of Shu is the one who understands him best.
"Sir, please get up..."
"These gifts should be regarded as greeting gifts for sir!"
"Subordinate, thank you King Shu!"
Li Ke nodded and glanced around the yard. The pear blossoms were white and the apricot blossoms were pink. Together with the freshness after the spring rain, it made people feel refreshed.
He then walked towards a pear tree, leaving the rest to Sima Qiu and Hai Zhu.
Si Huaijin smiled and said, "Mr. Si, please introduce yourself first. I, Si Huaijin, five hundred years ago, we might have been a family."
"I am now the number one confidant of the King of Shu, taking care of all important matters for the King of Shu."
Sima Qiu's mouth twitched: "My surname is Sima and my first name is Qiu."
"That doesn't matter, the important thing is later."
When Sima Qiu saw that Si Huaijin was a confidant of the King of Shu, he immediately bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Si!"
"I am proficient in the languages of ten countries, and the gentleman is proficient in all six languages. I know high-ranking officials above the eighth rank in Chang'an City, and I have good relations with them."
"When I defected to the King of Shu, I brought millions of wealth to the King of Shu overnight."
"The King of Shu saw that I am talented and knowledgeable, and can reach out to pick up stars and swim across the oceans to catch turtles. That's why I became the number one confidant in the Prince of Shu's palace."
"Sir, do you know how much monthly salary the King of Shu gives me?"
Sima Qiu was stunned by Si Huaijin's words and quickly shook his head.
He began to count on his fingers how powerful this person was, he was proficient in ten languages, knew officials above the eighth rank in Chang'an City, and brought millions of wealth to the Shu Palace overnight...
What the hell kind of genius is this?
"The monthly salary is ten guan, one hundred and twenty guan a year."
Sima Qiu couldn't help but scream in his heart, an annual salary of 120 yuan? He had never seen so much money in his life.
But compared to the millions of wealth this person brought, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Si Huaijin raised his eyebrows and continued: "But this is the basic salary, do you understand? There are also rewards!"
"The reward is the big one. If you do well, you will get more... As long as you are brave, the female ghost will take maternity leave. As long as you are brave, you will get two maternity leave..."
"You can get an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars..."
"Mr. Si is such a talented person, I admire him so much."
Sima Qiu's eyes were shining. He could get riches worth ten thousand dollars a year. He didn't dare to think about ten thousand dollars. He just wanted the one hundred and twenty dollars.
"Sir, you are so complimentary. I am not the only one with great talent. This pig butler is the most amazing one!"
Sima Qiu quickly looked at Hai Zhu, who had a vulgar look on his face.
Before, he had no good impression of this person at all, but today he heard that he was even more powerful than Si Huaijin. It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.
"Meet the pig butler!"
Hai Zhu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I admit it, but I can't compare to Mr. Sima. Mr. Sima is the person that the young master has visited the thatched cottage for three times. He is a great talent. Sir is the real great talent."
"Hey, I think back then, when I was following the young master, in order to give the young master a certificate of submission, I gave half of my life's fortune to the young master, a total of 400,000 yuan..."
hiss!
"But money is something external to the body. If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death."
"Indulgence and extravagance will only dampen my lofty ambitions."
"A man's ambition should be like the Yangtze River, running eastward to the sea. Why bother thinking about the gentle land?"
Sima Qiu's hair almost stood on end. Listening to the words of Hai Zhu, who was about the same age as himself, he felt like he had been feeding dogs for half his life.
This is how a man should be!
"Senior's words today are worth ten years of reading. Junior has learned a lesson." Sima Qiu immediately called himself junior because he really learned a lesson.
"You are still young, and now you are being visited by the young master. There is a lot of room for development in the future. Work hard, young man!"
Then Haizhu said with a smile: "With my talent, I can only serve as an official in Prince Shu's Mansion. The most powerful ones are them..."
Sima Qiu immediately looked at Wang Yi, Ma Qiu, Wu Shanqiong, Shen Gu and others behind Hai Zhu.
Are these people more powerful?
Sima Qiu was shocked.
"My dear Wang Yi, I was once the Prime Minister of the previous dynasty, responsible for coordinating the country's finances."
Sima Qiu's whole body trembled, "I'm a good boy, have all the former prime ministers served the King of Shu?"
"In the autumn of this year, in the spring of this year, because I was falsely accused, my qualification for the scientific examination was cancelled. However, I am proficient in all aspects of business and human conduct."
"In Xiawu Mountain Qiong, six years before Zhenguan, he used to be the purchaser of the palace, supplying all the needs of the palace. He was familiar with all the people in the business world and had contacts with the Qiwang family of the five surnames."
"I'm looking down..."
Shen Gu sighed and said: "We are just making a small fuss, we cannot compare to Mr. Sima, nor can we compare to the people behind us..."
"They are the most powerful..."
Sima Qiu is about to collapse. It's already like this. Isn't he still powerful?
Then who do you think you are?
So he looked at the people behind him.
"Fu An, have you seen this leg of mine? When the King of Shu was in danger, I carried the long sword and carried the King of Shu on my back, killing seven in and seven out, fighting in a bloody night..."
Then he tore off his clothes, revealing his scarred back, and sneered: "This is the result of rushing out to protect the King of Shu."
"That night, I lost my leg."
"But for the sake of the King of Shu, I will not hesitate to die. As long as the King of Shu is well, it will be a sunny day."
"I, Yan Yunda, personally killed ten assassins who assassinated the King of Shu, cut off their heads, pinned them on my waistband, and presented them to the King of Shu."
"I, Yan Yun Er, personally slaughtered three hundred villains who were unfavorable to the King of Shu as a certificate of submission for entering the King of Shu's palace."
"I……"
"I, Yan Yun Shiba, will hunt down the traitor who betrayed the King of Shu thousands of miles away. I will kill him with one knife from the enemy's palace, pickle him with lime, take him back to Chang'an, and offer him to the King of Shu!"
Huh, uh, uh...
Sima Qiu didn't expect, really didn't expect, that these people were actually murderers. Hearing this made his hair stand on end and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This was too terrifying.
He couldn't help but sit down on the ground, breathing heavily.
He chased the traitor for ten thousand miles, killed the traitor from the enemy's palace, pickled the traitor's head with lime, and brought it back to Chang'an City. This...
He looked at these people again. These people were no longer so amiable. They were all like executioners, as if they could kill him in an instant.
"What are you doing?" At this time, the King of Shu came to scold.
Everyone immediately knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, as if they had seen a demon, and shouted: "Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"You have all scared the king's talents."
"Mr. Sima, please get up quickly and don't argue with them."
"King of Shu..."
Sima Qiu had just stood up. Thinking of the group of people, he immediately knelt on the ground: "King Shu, I am willing to follow His Highness and go to the Mountain of Swords and the Sea of Fire for Your Highness. This life will be left to Your Highness."
"Okay! I like your loyalty."
Li Ke helped Sima Qiu up, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Sima, even if I personally visit the thatched cottage three times to invite you, but if you want to enter the Shu Palace and become my confidant, you still need to submit a certificate of surrender."
"Otherwise, they won't be convinced."
"This king always behaves with a bowl of water in mind."
Sima Qiu nodded, it was natural, everyone else had submitted a petition, but if he had not, even if he entered the Prince of Shu's palace, he would not be tolerated by these killers, and he would not know when he would die.
"Please give me your orders, King Shu!"
"Today, the people from the Prince's Mansion will come and invite you to join them. When the time comes, you will join them. That will be your certificate of entry to the Prince of Shu's Mansion."
Sima Qiu: "..."
This means I want to go to the East Palace to be a spy!
Sima Qiu's face suddenly turned pale, and now he was in big trouble.
If I had found a crooked-necked tree before and it would have been over, it would have been better. Now that it was over, all nine tribes might be gone.
But what can he do now?
Not going?
This group of people from the King of Shu could still wipe out all nine of his tribes.
"When you come back from the Prince's Mansion, sir, you are the greatest contributor to this king. It is impossible to restore the glory of your ancestors, but you might be able to become the prime minister!"
Sima Qiu took a deep breath, glanced at the group of people behind Li Ke, then looked up at the King of Shu, and finally made a decision.
If people die and birds look up to the sky, if they don't die for tens of millions of years, what do the nine tribes have to do with me?
"King Shu, my subordinates did it!"
"Hahaha, when you come back, I will lay out a red carpet for ten miles, prepare jade liquor, and lead the entire Shu Palace to welcome you personally!"
"Thank you King Shu!"
"Okay, I'll let Si Huaijin, my best confidant, explain the next thing to you..."
