Official Wang cursed the White Tiger's ancestors in his heart. With a smile on his face, he quickly said,"I'll get lost, I'll get lost!"
With that, he turned around and ran.
"Let's go. Everyone has run away. There's nothing to see.”
After Ying Ziyu finished speaking, he picked up Lu Zhi and jumped up from the roof, landing on the ground easily.
Liu Ji reacted and quickly came to the White Tiger's side. He gave a thumbs up."A strong man has good skills."
White Tiger shook his head.”
White Tiger was also helpless. There were too many powerful people around Young Master. He couldn't defeat the almost invincible Li Cunxiao, Yan Di who wielded a huge hammer, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and the others. The only one he could bully was Black Tortoise.
Liu Ji was slightly stunned when he heard this, thinking that White Tiger was just being humble.
Then, he strode back to the hall. As soon as Liu Ji Gang came in, Great Grandfather Lu and Xiao He came up to him.
"Liu Ji, how is the situation outside?" Xiao He spoke first.
Liu Ji laughed." Don't worry, Lord Xiao. He has already been beaten away."”
Great-Grandfather Lu was delighted to hear this and quickly said,""I don't know you. I'm extremely grateful that you were able to act in a time of danger. Please accept my bow…"
As he spoke, he bowed and was about to thank Liu Ji. Seeing this, Liu Ji hurriedly went forward and helped him up.
"Great Grandfather, don't be in such a hurry to thank me. Although I have contributed to this matter, it was Young Master Zhao's guard who chased them away.”
"If you want to bow, you should bow to Young Master Zhao.”
Hearing Liu Ji's words, Grand Duke Lu and Xiao He were both stunned. At this moment, Ying Ziyu had already bid farewell to Lu Zhi and returned to the hall.
Seeing Ying Ziyu come in, Great Grandfather Lu quickly stepped forward and said,""Thank you for your help, Young Master Zhao. Please accept my bow.”
Ying Ziyu stepped forward and helped Grand Duke Lu up."It's nothing. There's no need for you to do this.”
Seeing this, Xiao He also stepped forward and said,"This one Xiao He greets Young Master Zhao. Just now, I heard Liu Ji say that Young Master is looking for me?”
Ying Ziyu looked at Xiao He with a burning gaze and nodded."There's indeed something, but it's not convenient to talk about it here.”
Xiao He nodded. This Young Master Zhao had come all the way from Xianyang to find him. He must have something important to tell him. It was normal that there were too many people here and it was not convenient to tell him.
Xiao He pondered for a moment, then turned around and cupped his fists at Grand Duke Lu."Great Grandfather, the wine is almost finished, so this Xiao will take his leave first. If there's anything you need in the future, feel free to instruct me.”
Grand Duke Lu nodded. He knew that these two had something important to discuss, so he only exchanged a few polite words before sending them out of the Lu Residence.
A moment later, Pei County, inside a courier station.
Ying Ziyu and Xiao He sat opposite each other. Xiao He spoke first,"May I know why Young Master Zhao is looking for me?”
Ying Ziyu had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a black token and handed it to Xiao He.
Xiao He took the token in confusion. When he saw it, he exclaimed,"Feather Black Dragon Token?"
In Great Qin, only the son of Emperor Shi Huang had this Black Dragon Token, and the names of the sons were engraved on it.
Seeing that Xiao He recognized the Black Dragon Token, Ying Ziyu nodded and explained his intentions,"This Young Master personally came to Pei County to invite Mister Xiao to Xianyang. As long as Mister Xiao is willing to be an official in Xianyang, my Great Qin is willing to treat you with the courtesy of the Nine Ministers.”
At this moment, Xiao He was completely dumbfounded. The Black Dragon Token had the word 'Feather', and the person in front of him called himself Young Master. Could he be Great Qin's Ninth Young Master, Ying Ziyu?
However, how did the mighty Sixth Young Master of Great Qin know about a small figure like him?
What was even more unbelievable was that he was going to be an official in Xianyang and was even treated with the courtesy of the nine ministers. At this moment, Xiao He's heart was filled with doubt, confusion, and hesitation.
After a long silence, Xiao He said,""This... Young Master, are you mistaken?"
"I, Xiao He, am just a small official. How can I take on such a great responsibility?”
Xiao He couldn't be blamed for not being confident. It was just too sudden.
A young master of Great Qin had traveled thousands of miles to invite a nameless soldier like him. This matter was simply too exciting.
Ying Ziyu had a smile on his face as he said indifferently,"If this is Pei County and you're sure your name is Xiao He, then this young master has found the right person.”
Ying Ziyu didn't think that Xiao He's reaction was inappropriate.
This was the reaction of a normal person. After all, if it was anyone else who encountered this, their first reaction would be disbelief. They might even think that Ying Ziyu was a liar.
"With Mister Xiao's talent, it's really unfair for him to only serve as a small official.”
After saying this, Ying Ziyu stood up and bowed to Xiao He."I am not talented, but I am willing to be your Bole. I wonder if you are willing to be my thousand-li horse? Follow me into the Qin Palace, display your talent and strategy, and pacify the rivers and mountains of the Great Qin Dynasty?”
These two short sentences filled Xiao He's heart with melancholy. He believed that he would not lose to anyone, but now that he was almost forty years old, he was still a small official.
It could be said that life was sorrowful when one's talent was not appreciated.
Now, this powerful young master of Great Qin had personally come to invite him and even gave him such great affirmation.
This made Xiao He feel like he had found a confidant. As the saying goes, a scholar would die for a confidant.
Xiao He no longer hesitated and said directly,"I have no way to repay Young Master's kindness. I can only follow you and serve you.”
When Ying Ziyu heard this, he was overjoyed. Even he himself didn't expect Xiao He to agree so easily. He was already prepared to kidnap Xiao He and bring him back to Xianyang, but now it seemed that it was completely useless.
"Alright, I'm relieved to hear this from Mr. Xiao.”
"Xiao He greets my lord!" Xiao He cupped his fists and bowed.
Ying Ziyu quickly helped him up." There's no need to be so polite. You can just call me Young Master in the future."”
"Since Mister has already made a decision, how about you pack your luggage and follow me to Xianyang?”
Xiao He nodded." There's nothing to pack. It's just that Xianyang is a long way away. I still need to explain to my wife."”
Ying Ziyu laughed when he heard that." There's no need to explain. Just bring everyone in the family to Xianyang. I've already prepared a mansion for you. We're just waiting for you to move in."”
Hearing this, Xiao He was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. At the same time, the Vermillion Bird's report came from outside the house,"Young master, the chief of the Si Water Pavilion, Liu Ji, said that he has something important to discuss with Mister Xiao He.”
"Liu Ji? Why is he here?" Xiao He was stunned for a moment before he turned to look at Ying Ziyu.
"Let Old Liu in."
Following Ying Ziyu's order, Liu Ji walked in with an anxious expression.
"Aiyo, my Lord Xiao, I've finally found you.”
"Why are you looking for me?" Xiao He asked in confusion.
Liu Ji shook his head and sighed.”
Xiao He was stunned. He looked at Ying Ziyu and said helplessly,"What's the use of telling me this?”
"My Lord Xiao, you have to help me this time. The higher-ups have said that the Si Water Pavilion needs 300 people.”
"Lord Xiao, you know the situation of my Si Water Pavilion better than anyone. There are less than 300 people in the entire Si Water Pavilion.”
"I really have no other choice. Lord Xiao, please help me.”
Xiao He was also shocked when he heard that there were 300 people. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said,""I can't help you with this matter. Who dares to disobey the imperial court's decree?”
When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately revealed a disappointed expression. Then, he said angrily,"I think the Imperial Court is about to be finished. Who can stand it if we keep doing this?”
"Presumptuous, don't spout nonsense!" Xiao He quickly stopped him.
"What nonsense am I spouting? I'm talking nonsense?"
Liu Ji immediately became anxious and said loudly: " In the past, when the corvee was levied, it was still when the farmers were idle, but now?" It was busy farming now, and it was time to harvest the crops.”
"They've already left. Who cares if the crops rot in the fields?”
"If the man is gone, what will the family eat? What to drink? Are you going to let me live?"
Xiao He's forehead broke out in cold sweat when he heard that. He went up and kicked Liu Ji to the ground."What are you shouting about? I'm telling you, you can't miss a single one of the 300 people.”
Liu Ji looked at Xiao He in shock. Then, he stood up angrily and pointed at Xiao He."Fine, you, Xiao He, fine. I'll leave, I'll leave, okay?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait! Did I let you go?"
Hearing Ying Ziyu speak, Xiao He was startled. Without waiting for Liu Ji to speak, he hurriedly stepped forward and said,"Young Master, Liu Ji might be a little talkative, but he has no second thoughts about Great Qin. I hope Young Master won't lower yourself to his level.”
Liu Ji was stunned. He was a smart person, and at this moment, he also sensed that something was wrong.
Hence, he quickly walked over and whispered,""Lord Xiao, why are you doing this?”
Xiao He didn't pay attention to Liu Ji and instead turned his gaze to Ying Ziyu. Seeing that Ying Ziyu didn't say anything, he handed the Black Dragon Token that he hadn't returned to Liu Ji yet.
Liu Ji took the Black Dragon Token doubtfully and read it over and over again."Lord Xiao, what is this?"
Xiao He was speechless and could only explain helplessly,""This item is called the Black Dragon Token!"
Liu Ji nodded.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ji's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao He in disbelief."You said this is the Black Dragon Token? The Black Dragon Token that represented the identity of Great Qin's Young Master?”
Xiao He nodded.
Liu Ji was stunned.
Then, he looked at Ying Ziyu. Could this Young Master Zhao be someone close to Young Master Great Qin? Thinking of this, Liu Ji's heart instantly turned cold. At this moment, he wished he could give himself two slaps.
Why are you complaining? This is great. If you don't handle it well, you might lose your life.
Liu Ji was terrified and looked at Xiao He with pleading eyes.
Seeing Liu Ji's panicked expression, Ying Ziyu smiled and said,"You still know how to be afraid?"
When Liu Ji heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He hurriedly went forward and bowed."This young master Zhao, this lowly one has eyes but does not recognize Mount Tai. We can be considered to be acquaintances. Do you think you can..."
Ying Ziyu waved his hand. There was no need to be so reserved."I will help you solve the problem of the labor service in the Si Water Pavilion.”
Liu Ji looked at Ying Ziyu in confusion. This wasn't right. He had said something wrong, but this Young Master Zhao not only didn't punish him, he even wanted to help him solve his labor problem.
The more Liu Ji thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
After a moment of silence, she said in a sobbing tone,"Young Master, what conditions do you have?”
Ying Ziyu looked at him with a smile." I'm lacking a Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Are you interested?"”
Liu Ji was completely dumbfounded. He had heard of the Embroidered Uniform Guards before, and it was said that they were a new organization that Great Qin had established. They had great power and were treated very well.
However, could this young master in front of him really let him enter the Embroidered Uniform Guards?
Seeing Liu Ji's confusion, Xiao He reminded him,""Hurry up and thank Young Master."
Seeing Xiao He giving him a look, Liu Ji was stunned on the spot.
Black Dragon Token, Young Master?
Could it be that this person in front of him…Could this be Young Master Qin himself?
