Chapter 30: Bad Luck Under Fame (5)
As the pride of the empire, Li Qiu returned to Daliang City all the way, and he immediately felt the enthusiastic attention from the civilians in the city, but this enthusiasm made Li Qiu very unhappy. Of course, the civilians did not have unprecedented enthusiasm for him because Li Qiu killed Tuobaji, but the legends of the heroine abuse between Li Qiu and the princess Li Mingyue that made people blush-faced and infinitely reverie.
No matter where Li Qiu appeared in any public place in Daliang City, as soon as people saw him, they would whisper and talk about him with a look that everyone understood.
As for Li Qiu's killing of Tuoba Ji, no one has paid attention to it for a long time, and no one has discussed it anymore, and everyone's attention is focused on the private story of Li Qiu and Li Mingyue.
After all, the duel between Li Qiu and Tuoba Ji took place in a distant border city, and it was Changzhi City that was deeply affected by Tuoba Ji in the past ten years, and most of the civilians in Daliang City could not empathize with Tuoba Ji's brutality, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was an unattainable existence, compared with the scandal of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the fall of the Shadow Thieves Group naturally could not become a topic of interest.
Li Qiu's unlucky luck also brought the servants of the Great General's Mansion to suffer innocently, and every day the servants of the Great General's Mansion had to be busy cleaning the gate full of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves thrown by the civilians.
My good girl, Li Qiu really underestimated Li Mingyue's exaggerated influence in the minds of men of all ages in Daliang City, or the fatal magic that the noble status of the princess had on these people.
Her Royal Highness the princess sneaked out of the palace and was unfortunately abducted by Li Qiu, and was tragically abducted by Li Qiu, a beast of the empire, and committed a strange rumor of merciless abuse, which not only caused an uproar among the people, but also made Li Qiu a heinous pervert in the minds of countless people.
The righteous civilians naturally couldn't tolerate the obscene Li Qiu defiling Her Royal Highness Princess Bai Yueguang in their minds.
Gan, Li Qiu bluntly called his fate really weak enough, why did he never know that it was such a simple thing to change from the pride of the empire to the beast of the empire.
Li Qiu thought depressedly, if Tuoba Ji could come back alive and find that he had a great chance of replacing his old perverted status, he was afraid that Tuoba Ji would die laughing on the spot and die again.
A group of loyal licking men who claim to be Her Royal Highness the princess forever form a rotten egg alliance to take revenge on Li Qiu, and they see every opportunity to attack Li Qiu with rotten eggs.
Li Qiu was once tormented by this group of tenacious avengers to the point of nervous breakdown, so that he even had to arrange for the servants to go in and clear the pit before he even went to the latrine, so as to save him from burrowing a madman with rotten eggs in his hand from the pit when he was halfway through excretion.
Men are like this, women are not far behind, from seventy old women to five-year-old girls, as long as they see Li Qiu appear, they will all turn into serious statue faces in an instant, and everyone looks holy and inviolable.
There were even two women who accidentally touched their arms because Li Qiu was purchasing materials for the production of Yao Wang Ding in the downtown area, and the two women cried and shouted in pain, they were defiled by Li Qiu's innocent body, and their bodies instantly became strange and unclean, and only by committing suicide on the spot could they wash away the shame they received, this resolute attitude frightened Li Qiu and hurriedly shouted that the old housekeeper next to him took out a stack of silver tickets, so that he could recover the chastity lost by the two Qinglou reserve women.
It's too difficult, he's really too difficult, Li Qiu sat in the general's mansion dejectedly and silently distracted. Shaking and cold, as a good man, when will he really stand up.
"Young master, you dissipate your anger, according to the old servant's life experience in the past few decades, these are all small things you have experienced, and people will soon put these rumors behind them. The old housekeeper kindly explained Li Qiudao.
Li Qiu scratched his head, sighed and said, "Do you have any good ways to help me divert the attention of the civilians now?" ”
Compared with his irretrievable reputation, Li Qiu was more worried about Li Mingyue, after all, he Li Qiu didn't want to lose face, and Her Royal Highness the princess didn't have such a thick face as him.
The old butler thought about it seriously, then shook his head in embarrassment and said, "Unless there is a more exaggerated and shocking jaw color incident, all you can do is wait silently for the limelight to pass." ”
"Oh...... Reasonable. Li Qiu pondered thoughtfully.
The old butler suddenly remembered an interesting story, and shared with Li Qiu with a smile: "Young master, recently, the major bookstores in the city have published a lot of best-selling books about you...... I heard the servants in the house chatting and said that the sales were very hot. ”
Li Qiu's eyes lit up, these bookstores were naturally much more reliable than the rumors spread among the people, and if they came forward to promote themselves, there should be room for counterattack on his reputation that had fallen to the bottom.
As for the content described in the book, Li Qiu guessed that it was probably his heroic deeds of fighting bravely with Tuobaji, and then going through many dangers to finally assassinate the old pervert...... For example, his extraordinary resourcefulness, unparalleled bravery, etc.?
Li Qiu looked at the old housekeeper expectantly and asked, "It's a best-selling ...... Is there a lot of people buying books?"
The old butler thought about it carefully, and at least in the General's Mansion, more than half of the servants had read these books about Li Qiu. The old butler smashed his lips and affirmed: "The old man thinks that the more people who buy books, the more helpful it will be to improve the reputation of the young master, and this is a thing worth celebrating." ”
Celebrating your old aunt's niece and third uncle, two hours later, Li Qiuhei sat on the chair with a calm face, and on the table in front of him were more than a dozen of the latest best-selling books, each of which was on sale in Daliang City.
How hot these books were, how high the anger in Li Qiu's heart was. I can't imagine that even these bookstores will come to rub his hot spots. Gan ...... Li Qiu is angry and doesn't fight anywhere, is he an unguarded male turtle male, anyone who wants to rub can come and rub it.
Li Qiu looked angrily at the book with the cover in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.
"The son of the Li family is a demon again", "Lick to the end, you are the king", "Showdown, I am the little witch of the imperial husband", "The father-in-law and mother-in-law at the beginning", "My world is the master of the surname Li", "The unknown tips of the imperial teenager in bed" and so on............ These messy and nonsense stories can be sought after by the majority of civilians in Daliang City, and Li Qiu has to accept it.
Because these bookstores have vaguely erased their real names, even the Ministry of Rites can't find a reason to ban them. It all depends on the understanding, how can insinuations be regarded as slander, as a party to the party, Li Qiu can only hold back a breath of resentment and have nowhere to attack.
After Li Qiu held back his anger and read these soul-shattering masterpieces one by one, he longed to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it, and Li Qiu's beautiful expectations for the other world collapsed at this moment.
In the end, Li Qiu had no choice but to compromise, since there was no way to solve the infinite care of the civilians of Daliang City for his Li Qiu, he solved himself out of sight, and from then on, Li Qiu would never take a step out of the general's mansion.
Li Qiu, who was victimized by the wind review, changed from an imperial beast to an imperial mansion, and for more than ten consecutive days, Li Qiu stayed in the general's mansion and closed himself.
Idle is also idle, just 365 cheats unlocked a new spirit beast, Li Qiu quietly hid in the room to practice, and by the way, he also took the time to study how to make the perfect medicine Wang Ding, but Li Qiu soon encountered new problems.
Li Qiu found that the broken crystal recorded in the 365 cheats was recorded to make the perfect medicine Wang Ding, and he had no way to get it at all, and Li Qiu inquired in many ways only to learn that the broken wall crystal was only available to the dwarf race, but the dwarf race in the territory of Dongzhou was very rare, and Li Qiu couldn't think of a good way for a while.
Li Qiu did not give up and sent his servants to buy the broken wall crystals at a high price in all the shops near Daliang City, but unfortunately he failed to get his wish. Li Qiu had no choice but to lower his requirements and replace it with cheap artificial crystals, and temporarily make an emergency use of inferior medicine Wang Ding.
Because of the lack of the core material wall-breaking crystal, the quality of the medicine king ding can be imagined, when Li Qiu was refining the medicine king ding to refine the strong pill, he would make earth-shattering explosions every three or five times, and the most serious one almost blew up the roof of his room.
For a while, in the General's Mansion, the panicked servants were privately calling Li Qiu a bomb ghost.
The most pitiful of them belonged to the old butler who was in charge of taking care of Li Qiu, and the old housekeeper listened to the explosion of 'bang bang bang' from time to time from Li Qiu's house every day.
The old housekeeper trembled with his old body, old tears, he once thought that the young master of his family couldn't stand the exaggerated rumors outside, and decided to blow up his innocence in the house, the old housekeeper was sad and even secretly arranged for the servants to buy filial piety cloth, and he also hid it from Li Qiu by the way, and kindly helped Li Qiu buy more than a dozen life accident insurance in the Ministry of Rites, and the beneficiary of the old housekeeper signed Li Mingyue's name with trembling hands.
The terrifying explosion continued in the General's Mansion, and finally Li Qiu was bitter, and after 7 painful defeats, Li Qiu made the first 'Powerful Pill', but with the experience of Tuoba Jie bravely tasting nectar, Li Qiu never dared to rashly test the new 'Powerful Pill' with his own body.
Who do you want to find to test the medicine, Li Qiu thought silently, the magic medicine does not flow into the stomach of outsiders, and the whole general's mansion belongs to the old housekeeper and he has the best relationship, but looking at the old housekeeper's weak and powerless appearance on weekdays, Li Qiu is only afraid that he will not be able to make up for his weakness and will not be able to withstand the effect of the strong pill.
Suddenly, in Li Qiu's mind, what the old butler had said once flashed, if you want to divert the attention of the civilians, you have to create an amazing color incident, Li Qiu silently looked at the big pill, hesitating whether to give the old butler a shot.
Although he successfully refined the Mighty Pill, what really worried Li Qiu was the matter between him and Li Mingyue.
Li Qiu counted carefully, since he separated from Li Mingyue in Changzhi City, he had never had a chance to see Li Mingyue again, and he didn't know how she spent her days in the palace these days, and whether she would be severely punished by Emperor Chongsheng because of these gossips outside.
Li Qiu feels that he is now like the heroine of the domineering president's article, that's right, he is looking forward to being beaten by Li Mingyue's domineering wall every day, and then he has to be forced to start a harmonious plot.
As the saying goes, you will be reluctant after having it, in the dead of night, when Li Qiu is lying in bed, he will miss the highlight moment when he and Li Mingyue played a kiss game, in fact, in Li Qiu's selfish heart, he wants to use Li Mingyue's favorability to upgrade his 365 cheats, which is also the reason why Li misses Li Mingyue.
Looking at the entire Great Liang City, now apart from Li Mingyue, who else would be willing to approach his infamous imperial mansion.
Just when Li Qiu was sullen, there was a hurried knock from the old butler outside the door.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" asked Li Qiu, who remembered telling the old butler not to disturb him who was immersed in learning 365 cheats unless something important happened.
The old butler said to Li Qiu: "Young master, the people from the "Great Liang Zhengzheng Newspaper" have handed over a famous post, they said that they want to come to visit you in the mansion, and by the way, I will ask you some things about the leader of the Shadow Thief Troupe, Tuoba Ji. ”
"You help me turn them down, I refuse to give any interviews. Li Qiu was busy refining his Strength Pill, where did he have the heart to accompany others to make up stories.
"Young Master, 'Da Liang Zhengzheng Bao' is the number one selling newspaper in our Dongzhou country, and it has a large number of loyal readers, if you can get them to say good things for you, it will definitely be of great help to restore your good reputation. The old housekeeper patiently persuaded Li Qiudao.
"Oh...... No. 1 in sales, is it reliable?" Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Li Qiu's heart was filled with a damn curiosity that would never be extinguished.
The old butler thought for a moment and asserted: "This time it must be reliable, after all, the name of the newspaper sounds like a light of righteousness." ”
"Well, that makes sense. "Daliang Zhengzheng Bao...... The more Li Qiu thought about it, the more serious he felt, and coupled with the persuasion of the old housekeeper outside the house, Li Qiu agreed to come down.
