Liu Ji's face darkened, and he was very unhappy.
After all, he was the descendant of a noble family. Although the Liu family had declined and no one could restore the glory of his ancestors.
However, one day, he would definitely be able to stand out and become superior.
When he was twenty years old, he had gone to Wei to seek refuge with Lord Xinling, but he had failed.
Liu Ji had mixed feelings about this man whom he had admired since he was young.
Although he was rejected, Liu Ji had always regarded Lord Xinling Wei Wuji as his role model.
However, her strength did not allow it. If she brought a few friends home for a drink or a meal, she would be looked down upon by her sister-in-law.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji felt helpless.
Fortunately, he had been doing well in Fengyang over the years and had even made a few good brothers in Pei County.
Even though Xiao He had a higher position than Cao Can, he had to call him big brother in private.
This made Liu Ji feel very gratified. However, three years ago, it was after Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world.
At that time, he often escorted the corvee to Xianyang. When he happened to meet the First Emperor on a patrol, he was instantly shocked.
From then on, Liu Bang's worldview was completely rewritten.
It seemed that Lord Xinling was no longer as brilliant as before. He had discovered a supreme king who was even more brilliant than before, and that was the First Emperor.
Back then, when he saw such a grand and luxurious scene, he couldn't help but feel admiration and admiration. A real man should be like this.
However, Liu Ji knew very well that it would be difficult for him to reach this man's height in this life.
He was just a small pavilion chief, the most lowly official in the empire.
A lofty emperor, the most honorable emperor of the empire.
There was an insurmountable gap between the two of them. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were worlds apart.
This man had replaced Lord Xinling's position in his heart, becoming the peak that he could not reach but wanted to pursue for the rest of his life.
Xiao He was appreciated by this man and became a high-ranking official who controlled the land.
Of course, Liu Ji would not let go of any chance. Even if there was only a slim glimmer of hope, he would never let it go.
He was indeed here to send him off, but more importantly, he hoped to borrow Xiao He's help to see if he could give him a ride.
"Tell Xiao He to come out."
Looking at the rolling crowd, Liu Ji knew that he would definitely not be able to squeeze in, so he could only take the unconventional path.
Sure enough, with Liu Ji's roar, the bustling crowd in front of them instantly quieted down. They turned around in unison, looking for the owner of this voice.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Ji did not care at all. He smiled and continued to shout,"Xiao He, why aren't you coming out to welcome Big Brother?”
Liu Ji roared at the simple courtyard once again.
Soon, the crowd looked at Liu Ji and then at the tightly shut courtyard.
Immediately, a burst of laughter erupted, and many people continued to mock him.
"Stop putting on airs. Do you think you can slander Duke Xiao?”
"If you know what's good for you, get lost quickly. Otherwise, I'll break your dog legs.”
Liu Ji was not angry at all in the face of everyone's mockery. He still had a faint smile on his face and allowed everyone to scold him.
Creak!
Not long after, the tightly shut door of the courtyard was opened. Xiao He stood in front of the door and looked at the crowd. His eyes were filled with doubt as he searched.
Xiao He naturally did not care about these people who came to build connections.
These people looked down on him. In the past, he had never seen anyone come to his place every day. Now that he had been appreciated and put in an important position by the First Emperor, they were quite attentive, but who cared?
However, when he was reading in the courtyard, he suddenly heard a shout. That voice sounded very familiar, so he opened the courtyard door and took a look.
"Xiao He, Brother Xiao, I'm here.”
Liu Ji raised his hand and waved at Xiao He, who was standing in front of the door and looking around. He smiled and said.
"Brother Liu?"
Xiao He also saw Liu Ji, who was pushed to the back by the crowd, and immediately went up to him with a warm smile.
Everyone looked at this scene in a daze. The upstart they had begged to meet was actually scolded out by this little pavilion chief?
Especially those people who mocked Liu Ji, their faces turned green.
It seemed that after offending this pavilion chief, he would probably never be able to get in touch with Xiao He again.
Those who didn't say anything had different thoughts. They looked at Liu Ji, who Xiao He was passionately pulling into the courtyard. Perhaps they could find a breakthrough in this person?
After entering the courtyard, Xiao He asked the servants to prepare some wine and dishes. He also asked someone to find Cao Shen. The three of them began to drink and chat.
After they had their fill, the three of them began to chat.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Old Xiao, you've finally gotten what you wanted this time.”
"To be honest, I wanted to give you something! You also know that apart from money, I really don't lack anything.”
Liu Ji was drunk as he held Xiao He's hand. Although he spoke lightly, it revealed endless sadness.
"Sigh! Brother Liu, we all know each other well. Since when did we need to do this?”
Xiao He looked at Liu Ji, whose eyes were red but his face was full of smiles, and his heart felt a little warm.
"Old Xiao, our Old Cao is also poor. Our old mother is still seriously ill and is really short of money. I can only waste some effort to wish you a bright future and a meteoric rise.”
Cao Can was a typical burly man. Although he was a prison official in Pei County, his life was not bad.
However, ever since his mother fell seriously ill, Cao Can realized that his salary was insignificant.
In the past few years, his family's life had become more and more miserable. He had sold almost everything he could sell.
Xiao He looked at the two of his close friends and smiled. Then, he took out the wooden box that he had prepared earlier from under the table.
