Chapter 35: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!
Ji Wuchen glanced outside the door. Just as he was about to find an excuse to keep Ying Zheng for a while longer, he saw Wang Jian walking over with a young palace attendant." Greetings, Young Master."”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, indicating that he was not going to be polite. Then, he glanced at the chamberlain standing behind Wang Jian and said with a smile,""You are from the palace, why are you with the general?”
" I asked General Wang to call him over," Ji Wuchen said with a smile." I have something to ask him."”
"In that case, I'll take my leave first.”
Ying Zheng bowed respectfully to Ji Wuchen, then took a glance at the palace attendant and strode away. Wang Jian introduced,""This is Young Master Ying Zheng's teacher, Ji Wuchen.”
"I am Zhao Gao. Greetings, sir."
Ji Wuchen sized up Zhao Gao carefully when he heard his feminine words. He had a long face, narrow eyes, and an extremely feminine expression. Although he did not smile, he had a sense of friendliness. Although he was not solicitous, he appeared extremely respectful.
Ji Wuchen gave General Wang Jian, who was standing at the side, a look. Wang Jian smiled and said,""I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Mister can chat to your heart's content with Imperial Attendant Zhao.”
Zhao Gao's expression remained the same, but a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. However, it was fleeting, and then it became calm again. However, his standing posture became even more respectful.
With the sound of the door opening, Wang Jian left, leaving only Ji Wuchen and Zhao Gao in the room. Ji Wuchen smiled and said,""Don't you want to ask why I'm looking for you?”
Zhao Gao chuckled and replied," Since you have passed the message to me, you will definitely explain the reason. If you don't want to say it, there will be a reason for you not to say it. I just have to wait and don't dare to say anything."”
Ji Wuchen gathered his energy on his fingertip and waved it gently. A cup of tea flew into the air and was delivered to Zhao Gao." This is for you!"”
Zhao Gao hurriedly took the cup, and a hint of shock flashed across his face. Then, he used the posture of drinking tea to cover up all of this. Then, he respectfully placed the teacup on the table," Thank you, sir, for the tea!”
"You and I are both sensible people, so between us, let's get straight to the point. I want you to work for me. Are you willing?”
Zhao Gao was startled and hurriedly bowed. He said in fear and trepidation,"This lowly one is just a small servant in the palace. I have no power or influence. What virtue and ability do I have to work for you?”
"If you don't have power, I can give you power. If you don't have power, I can give you power. For example, Eunuch Chang Yong is now the Prefect of Zhongche.”
"Sir, you must be joking. Eunuch Chang Yong has helped me, so how would I dare to dream of a high position like the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate?”
"You're such a hypocrite. I'm going straight to the point with you, but you're talking about helping me. I don't know what your relationship is, but don't you understand?”
Zhao Gao remained silent. He seemed to be considering the pros and cons. He also seemed to be considering the credibility of Ji Wuchen's words, or perhaps he was weighing the weight of Ji Wuchen and Chang Yong.
After a long while, he said solemnly,""Although Mister is the teacher of Young Master, he doesn't seem to be favored by His Majesty. How can he be sure that he can give me everything I want?”
"What do you think of General Wang Jian?" Ji Wuchen asked.”
Zhao Gao nodded and praised him." He has risen seven ranks in a year. He is also the commander of the Imperial Guards. Now, he is the favorite of the King. He is naturally very powerful."”
"But you know that a year ago, he was just a lowly Duke. Great Qin gives out titles based on military merit, and there are a total of 20 ranks. You should know what a Duke is.”
Zhao Gao frowned deeply as if he had realized something." Could it be that his promotion was so fast because of you?”
Ji Wuchen smiled." If not, do you think a doctor would be so respectful to a commoner like me?”
Zhao Gao was a smart man. He could understand some things easily. He had already guessed some things before Ji Wuchen had even pointed them out. Now that Ji Wuchen had pointed them out, he naturally knew the deeper meaning behind it. He knelt down with a thud and bowed." I am Zhao Gao. I am willing to serve you. Please accept my bow."”
Ji Wuchen accepted Zhao Gao's bow calmly." Get up!”
After Zhao Gao got up, he asked,"Sir, please give me your instructions. I will do my best."”
"There's one thing that I need you to observe carefully regarding the matter of the royal family's heir. Find a time and tell me everything you know.”
"Yes, I will follow your orders."
"Also, I'll be moving into Lord Wu 'an's residence in half a month. When that time comes, you can come over. I have something important for you to do.”
"Yes, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you?”
"No, you can go back. If someone were to go there today, with your intelligence, you should be able to deal with them.”
" The others are fine, but Young Master Zheng already knows that I'm here. I'm afraid..."
"You can rest assured about the people you can meet.”
Zhao Gao turned around and left, but he stopped after taking two steps. He turned around and bowed to Ji Wuchen again. Then, he pushed open the door softly and left the General's Estate.
The third watch will arrive, the fourth watch will be at 6 pm, the fifth watch will be at 7:00 pm, and the sixth watch will be at 9:30 pm. Everyone can watch the remaining three together at 9:30 pm.
