Confronting the Couplet and Subduing Chu Suiliang!
"Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone?"
The youth frowned and looked at Li Ke with a troubled expression.
Li Ke smiled and said," I promise that this is the last time. You can ask Mr. Chu. If Mr. Chu doesn't allow it, I promise to turn around and leave. But if he allows it, I'll have to trouble you."”
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Moreover, Chu Suiliang had specially instructed the youth to treat Li Ke and the others with respect. Therefore, even if the youth was a little unwilling, he still said,"Alright, I'll go and ask. Wait a moment.”
With that, he ran back.
After the young Li Ke left, He Chenglin couldn't help but say,""Your Highness, is it worth it to make Your Highness beg so humbly and repeatedly for such a person?”
"If that person still doesn't agree, then I'll rush in and kidnap him. Put a knife to his neck and see if he agrees!”
Li Ke knew that He Chenglin was fighting for justice for him, so he did not blame He Chenglin for being vulgar.
"Whether it's worth it or not depends on who this person is."”
"If this person was just a random cat or dog, it wouldn't be worth it. But this person is Chu Suiliang, so it's worth it!”
Li Ke said," In ancient times, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times to invite him. That was how the world was divided into three parts. Now, I've only asked to see him three times. What's the harm?"”
"But…"
Li Ke narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice,"If that Chu Suiliang really refuses to let me in three times, then you can capture him! I don't have Liu Bei's patience. Just looking at the thatched cottage is enough. Moreover, although Chu Suiliang is talented, there is still a gap between him and Wolong. Therefore, he can't enjoy the treatment that Wolong can enjoy.”
"However, I believe that Chu Suiliang isn't someone who can't judge the situation. Moreover, I already know what he's thinking. I'm confident in taking him in!”
Although Chu Suiliang had already rejected him twice, Li Ke had gained something. He believed that he would be able to take down Chu Suiliang this time!
At this moment, the young man finally ran back. At the same time, he also carried a table out.
"My master said that the four treasures of the study are nothing. Young Master can use them as he wishes.”The young man wiped the sweat off his forehead and said,""Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and get the Four Treasures of the Study.”
"Thank you!"
Soon, the young man took back the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and placed them neatly on the table.
"Young Master, please go ahead!" the young man said.
Li Ke nodded. He walked forward, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and looked at the lonely couplet.
"I admire Zhuang Zhou, who is lost in the world. I can dream of butterflies when I sleep!”
Li Ke's eyes flashed. He smiled and lowered his head, touching the tip of the pen on the paper.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Soon, the brush moved like a dragon and snake, and a line of words appeared on the paper.
Li Ke's predecessor had also put in a lot of effort in calligraphy, so with his predecessor's foundation, his calligraphy was not ugly.
She was delicate and elegant!
Although it could not compare to the calligraphy of Chu Suiliang, it was still considered qualified.
He Chenglin stood behind Li Ke. After Li Ke finished writing, he subconsciously started reading.
"The vulgar envy Confucius and Mencius. When you wake up, you can be…the teacher of an emperor!”
Shua!
He Chenglin's eyes widened as soon as he finished reading. At the same time, he closed his eyes and his expression changed.
Although he was a martial artist, he had been in the palace for a long time, so he was naturally very sensitive to certain things.
Li Ke's words simply made He Chenglin's heart churn with huge waves, and it was difficult for him to calm down for a long time.
He stared at the line of words with his eyes wide open, then subconsciously raised his head to look at Li Ke. He saw that Li Ke was looking at him expressionlessly.
This shocked him, and his pupils constricted. He quickly knelt down and said,"I will die!"
The rest of the personal guards also knelt down, their bodies trembling.
Seeing this, Li Ke only said calmly," You have saved my life many times. How can I blame you for this? However, I hope that you can forget everything that happened today. Otherwise, don't blame me for bringing about a fatal disaster!"”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly trembled and said,"This general will obey!"
"Alright, get up!"
Li Ke waved his hand and immediately picked up the piece of paper. He handed it to the youth who was at a loss and said with a smile,"Little brother, please give this piece of paper to Mr. Chu. This is the last time I'll trouble you.”
The young man was already frightened by He Chenglin and the others 'sudden kneeling and Li Ke's domineering aura. This time, he even forgot to remind them and just walked in in a daze.
After the young man Li Ke left, the door fell into silence again. Li Ke placed his hands behind his back, thinking about something.
As for He Chenglin and the others, they stood respectfully behind Li Ke. Their faces were still filled with shock and astonishment. However, there was also a faint dazzling light flickering in the depths of their eyes.
"Cheng Lin!"
At this moment, Li Ke's voice suddenly sounded.
When He Chenglin heard this, he quickly said,"I'm here."”
"All eighteen of you will be marquises in the future!" Li Ke said lightly.”
These words were said without any beginning or end, but when He Chenglin and the others heard this, their entire bodies trembled with excitement. The six of them immediately knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to Li Ke. They performed the greatest etiquette and said excitedly,"We are willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness, even if we die!”
Why?
In the Tang Dynasty, there were titles of nobility. The county marquis ranked sixth. There were 1,000 households in the food city. From the third grade, it could be hereditary.
Li Ke said that they could all become marquises. In other words, all of them could jump from their civilian status to nobles. This was simply a step to the sky, and their descendants would be sheltered because of it!
This kind of reward was simply a heavenly reward!
How could they not be surprised and excited!
However, they were all smart people and naturally knew the reason behind Li Ke's words.
It was also because of this that they were even more grateful and loyal to Li Ke!
"Alright, get up. This king knows your loyalty to this king! If this king inherits the throne in the future, he will not forget you!”
Everyone also knew that now was not the time to show their loyalty, so they hurriedly stood up and looked at Li Ke with burning loyalty.
At this moment, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly sounded from the courtyard. Then, a middle-aged man walked out of the door and bowed to Li Ke. He said,"I, Chu Suiliang, am willing to serve Your Highness!”
