"That Liu Ji is the chief of the Si Water Pavilion, and he's still a short distance away from here. Why don't we go to Lord Ye's residence to rest for a while?”
Xiao He was an intelligent person. He knew what Ye Xiu was thinking, but he had always been quite useful, so he was happy to help him.
"Alright."
Xu Dong also understood Xiao He's intentions. It was just a favor that went along with the flow.
"Hahaha…"
"Xiao He…Mr. Xiao is right. I'll get someone to arrange a banquet now.”
Ye Xiu was also overjoyed. He quickly ordered people to arrange a banquet.
At the same time.
Sishui Pavilion.
As the new chief of the Si Water Pavilion, Liu Ji didn't neglect his duty. Instead, he arrested two or three thieves seriously, which was praised by many people.
At this moment.
It was a sunny day with a clear sky.
Liu Ji, who had nothing to do, was also leaning against the pavilion, drinking wine and singing a tune.
At this moment.
As the founding emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, he had yet to change his name to Liu Bang, and he did not have civil officials like Xiao He, Zhang Liang, or Han Xin to follow him.
Even the position of the chief of the Si Water Pavilion was something he had spent a lot of effort to get.
Before this, he had been wandering the streets of Pei County, muddleheaded. Although he had great ambitions, he was not recognized by others. Only Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, and others felt that Liu Ji was loyal and valued friendship, and had always helped him.
"Da…Da…"
"Liu Ji, Liu Ji…"
The sound of hurried horse hooves accompanied by anxious shouts made Liu Ji stand up.
In the distance, dust flew as a familiar figure approached quickly. It was his sworn brother, Fan Kuai.
"Fan Kuai, what are you doing here instead of selling your meat in the city?”
Liu Ji was somewhat puzzled.
"Hahaha…"
"You guys are going to be rich, why are you still selling meat? Pack your things immediately, we're going to Xianyang to make a name for ourselves!”
Fan Kuai jumped off his horse and rushed up to Liu Ji. He punched Liu Ji in the chest, causing him to be in pain.
"Dog Butcher, why did you suddenly go crazy?”
Liu Ji was even more confused. He had only been the chief of the Si Water Pavilion for a few days, and he was still thinking of seizing this opportunity to take down the daughter of the Lu family.
Now, Fan Kuai was acting like he had gone crazy. He was asking him to pack up his things and go to Xianyang to make a name for himself. Wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
"Hehe…"
"Today, a Qin army came to Pei County…"
Fan Kuai wasn't angry. Instead, he explained to Liu Ji.
"You mean that the emperor admires our talents and wants to recruit us to Xianyang?”
After understanding the ins and outs, Liu Ji was also overjoyed.
He was also a proud person and looked down on those laborious things. The one he admired the most was Lord Xinling, and he wanted to become a big shot in governing a region.
It was a pity that the world was ignorant and could only waste half of their lives.
"Hahaha."
"I knew it, I knew it. I, Liu Ji, am a seven-foot-tall man. How can I be a mediocre person!”
After Liu Ji and Fan Kuai confirmed the news, they quickly gave some instructions and rushed to Pei County with Fan Kuai.
……
……
Pei County government office.
Xu Dong sat on the main seat. Xiao He, Cao Can, and Zhou Bo sat on the left. Ye Xiu, Xu Xi, and Xu Nan sat on the right.
During the banquet.
Ye Xiu continued to fawn over them, livening up the atmosphere.
He had never thought that Xiao He and the others would be favored by the Emperor's teacher and would personally send someone to invite them to Xianyang.
This trip would definitely be a meteoric rise, glory and wealth. If they could put in a few good words for him, it would also be able to make him move up.
"Mr. Xiao."
"Is there a Lu Clan here with a woman named Lu Zhi?”
When Ye Xiu heard this, he was instantly amused. He was very familiar with the Lu Clan, so he immediately cut in:
" This Great Grandfather Lu has a very good relationship with me. When he came to Pei County to avoid his enemies, I was the one who arranged it for him. His eldest daughter is called Lu Zhi. She's in her prime and hasn't married yet…"
Lu Zhi.
The eldest daughter of the Lu family.
She had fair skin, beautiful long legs, and was one of the top beauties in Pei County.
Ye Xiu's mind was very active. He thought that Emperor's Teacher knew about Lu Zhi's beauty and had thoughts about that.
"If that's the case, then I'll ask County Magistrate Ye to go and get the Lu Clan to prepare.”
Xu Dong did not know what Chen Beixuan was thinking. After hearing Ye Xiu's introduction, he thought that Chen Beixuan had fallen in love with him.
After all, Chen Beixuan looked like he was in his twenties and was not married yet. It was normal for him to want a woman.
"A graceful lady is a gentleman's match."
Xiao He, Cao Can, and Zhou Bo looked at each other. Although they were a little surprised, they didn't think too much about it. In fact, they even felt a little envious.
If Lu Zhi could marry Chen Beixuan, the Lu family would rise to the top.
"Please wait a moment, General. I will be back soon.”
Ye Xiu also cupped his hands in greeting and hurried back to the Lu Family.
……
……
Lü.
Grand Duke Lu was chatting with Lu Zhi and Lu Su.
"Zhi 'er."
"I know that you look down on Liu Ji, but father's fortune telling art is not wrong. This person will definitely be able to soar in the future, and after you marry him, you will also be a noble for the rest of your life.”
Old Grand Duke Lu stroked his white beard with his left hand as he tried to persuade his daughter.
Half a month ago.
At his 60th birthday party, Liu Ji had arrogantly said that he wanted to present 10,000 yuan as a gift, which shocked everyone. He had personally invited him as a guest of honor.
In the end, Liu Ji was penniless and spoke empty words.
Everyone was about to chase Liu Ji away, but he discovered that Liu Ji was full of energy and had an extraordinary bearing. His body faintly revealed a noble aura, which made Grand Duke Lu want to befriend him.
Soon after.
Lu Zhi was also present at the birthday banquet. Liu Bang was mesmerized at first glance. After the birthday banquet ended, he took the initiative to express his feelings to Grand Duke Lu, saying that he fell in love with Lu Zhi at first sight and wanted to marry her.
Lu Zhi was immediately unhappy when he heard that.
Liu Ji was also a famous big shot in Pei County.
However, it was not a good reputation. It was because he was idle and boasted about his great ambitions all day long. However, he was unwilling to work and rely on petty tricks to make a living. He was a complete lazy and boastful local ruffian.
Lu Zhi had always had eyes high above the top, so how could he fancy someone like Liu Ji?
The result was obvious.
Lu Zhi scolded Liu Ji fiercely, which made Liu Ji spend a lot of effort to get the position of the chief of the Si Water Pavilion.
"Duke Lu! Duke Lu…"
"This is great news!"
Lu Zhi was just about to retort when Ye Xiu's exclamation came from outside the mansion.
"Lord Ye, what happened? Why are you so excited?"
Duke Lu, who had been a little unhappy, saw that it was his best friend Ye Xiu and smiled.
"A noble has taken a fancy to your daughter. Don't you think that's a good thing?”
