Ma Zhou reluctantly glanced at the pot that had just boiled, hesitated for a long time and asked Xiao Er to help take care of it, and then slowly followed Li Chengyang out of the door of the restaurant.

Faced with the opportunity to come to the door, he didn't want to miss it, when he came out of Bozhou, how complacent he was, and the job of teaching was really not worthy of a person with lofty ideals like him, so after being reprimanded for not doing his job, he resolutely resigned from his position and came to Chang'an alone, ready to paint in the Tang Dynasty.

Now he doesn't think so, looking at Chang'an, no one can see his talent, and he doesn't even have the interest to look at him, he has visited countless people's homes, first those prime ministers and various books, then the servants, and finally even Wannian County, Chang'an County, has also entered his eyes.

Seeing that there was no response in the two counties, he even began to think about whether to go to the mansion of some generals to deliver the rankings next, just hoping that he could have a stable place to live, and he could do his studies with peace of mind.

At this time, seeing that Li Chengyang's identity is extraordinary, and the Cheng Mo Ma Zhou behind him also knows him, and he also knows the identity of Cheng Xiaogong, so that Xiao Cheng can accompany him like this, isn't the origin so big in the sky? Not to mention asking him to give up the only meal in two days, even if it was to let him walk in the palace of Hades, well, he might have to consider this.

In short, the opportunity has come, even if Li Chengyang looks like a hairy boy who has not reached the crown, then he must show all his spirit, and strive to be able to find an errand to do it in advance, and it is not a matter of discussion at this time.

"Look at Mr. is upright, not like the kind of villain who pays his debts, how did he end up like this, I don't think Mr. is like an ordinary person, is he not in trouble, the kid is not talented, it is the newly sealed King Qin, what is the difficulty of Mr., just say it, it doesn't matter, today the kid will be the master for Mr" The three of them came to the house, Li Chengyang thought of an entry point and talked to Ma Zhou.

First boasting openly and secretly is a necessary process to recruit talents, and then pretending to be indignant to help people who have never known each other, showing his King Qin's anxious and righteous character, and then pointing out his identity, King Qin, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't take out this big signboard to fool others.

Sure enough, Ma Zhou was surprised to hear the name of King Qin, and lingered among the dignitaries and nobles for days, although he failed to enter the circle as he wished, but some familiar news was also known a lot, among which the name he heard the most in the past few days was His Royal Highness the King of Qin who was claimed in front of him.

Ma Zhou didn't have the intention of looking for the King of Qin, Li Chengyang was brought back from the people by Li Yuan, there must be few people who can be trusted, and as Li Shimin's eldest son, he will have a much greater grasp of that position in the future than others, and many people can enter the core circle of King Qin when King Qin has not yet built a foundation, but it is said that this King of Qin has a small belly and chicken intestines, oil and salt do not enter, and countless people come to visit and do not see, many people say that this King of Qin is a villain.

But now when I see it, it doesn't look like it is rumored, but polite, and there is a chivalrous atmosphere in his speech and demeanor, and there is a heroic atmosphere.

Gathering his thoughts, Ma Zhou covered his face before replying: "In the past, I thought that the grass people were like an oil lamp in the slow night, which could always make people look at it at a glance, some time ago I was depressed in my hometown, and then I came to Chang'an in a gamble, I thought that finding an errand was enough to achieve revenge in my heart, who knew that Chang'an was worthy of being the center of gravity of my Tang Dynasty, and I didn't know how many talents there were, so I had no choice but to make a living by selling some calligraphy and paintings, and the money owed to the restaurant was really unavoidable, so that His Royal Highness smiled."

"Sir, don't say that, what is smiling and not smiling, a few years ago, the kid was still a small meal in Luoyang City, compared to Mr. It is far inferior, who has not yet been down, the kid always believes that gold will always shine, and the sky will descend on the Si people, right, Mr. has suffered so much, it means that Mr. is definitely not a very person" Li Chengyang hurriedly comforted.

Ma Zhou also knew that Li Chengyang was a daily politeness, but in order to comfort him, he compared his life as a beggar who was not good to talk to others in the past, which made Ma Zhou grateful, especially the sentence that gold always shines, which made him have a few more confidence out of thin air.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the grass people remember, and they will never dare to forget" straightened his clothes and solemnly gave Li Chengyang a big gift.

"Mr. is polite, but Mr. you always rely on selling calligraphy and painting for a living is not a thing, so, my father assigned me something to do a few days ago, I am suffering from no one to give me advice, it just so happened that I met Mr. today, it is better for you to follow me first, give me some guidance, the boy sweeps the bed and waits, if Mr. finds a better errand in the future, the boy will let Mr. leave, never interfere, if Mr. does not believe, the boy can swear here" said Li Chengyang raised his hand and prepared to swear to play.

Li Chengyang didn't believe in the oath, even if he crossed it, he thought it was a wormhole theory, anyway, he resolutely didn't believe in any gods. But for the ancients, it was a god with a head three feet high, not to mention the white body of Ma Zhou, how could he dare to make Li Chengyang, who was the king of Qin, swear an oath for this.

hurriedly pressed Li Chengyang's arm, and Li Chengyang also put his hand down, otherwise Ma Zhou would not be able to move Li Chengyang even if he hung his body.

"His Royal Highness takes a fancy to it, it is Ma Zhou's blessing, and An dares to make the King of Qin swear this again, and torture the grass people."

Li Chengyang's eyes lit up: "Then sir, this is agreed?" ”。

Ma Zhou clenched his fists and bowed deeply: "I want to do what I want, I don't want to ask you."

"Okay, okay, go, Brother Cheng, hurry up and arrange the carriage, let's go back, I'll let Xiao'er cook something delicious for us, and you can bring back the money that my husband owes you" What else do you go to the East Market, with the talent of Ma Zhou, even if he gives him an East Market for nothing, he doesn't want it, this is a person who was commented on having the talent of Zai Fu, and later he did become the prime minister.

A person who can be commented by Li Shimin in his later years: "I can't see Ma Zhou for a while, I start to miss him", I can't pay too much attention to it, Li Chengyang is already happy in his heart.

Xiao Cheng watched the process of the master and servant recognizing each other from beginning to end, and he still didn't understand why Ma Zhou suddenly became loyal to Li Chengyang, and how Li Chengyang made people bow down when his body was shaken, so he simply said a few words, it seems that Li Chengyang has made a lot of money?

was woken up by Li Chengyang's voice, Xiao Cheng hurriedly answered: "Hey, Your Highness, what money do we still need from your people, you don't have to pay it back, you just invite me to have a meal, I am greedy for your cook's skills now."

Phew, I want to show favor to my husband, don't give Xiao Cheng this chance, in case Ma Zhou is abducted and he cries like whom: "Go and go, can I send you that money?" Besides, the restaurant is not your family's, when will you open the restaurant yourself and come to invite my husband, do you still want to eat, don't we go first? ”。

Xiao Cheng hurriedly followed, and the two carriages drove towards the palace one after the other. Li Chengyang and Ma Zhou are in the same car, and since it has been decided to follow Li Chengyang, Ma Zhou has relaxed, and some of Li Chengyang's questions are also answered one by one.

didn't ask anything, just some Ma Zhou's gossip questions, Li Chengyang gave a name that cares about his subordinates and needs to be well understood, so he knows everything he has encountered during this period of time from Ma Zhou's mouth.

Ma Zhou is worthy of being a well-known figure, according to him when he came out of Bozhou, he didn't bring a penny, he slept all the way, and he didn't suffer anything, the most interesting thing is that in a hotel in Xinfeng, the owner didn't look down on the poor scholars, and actually went to take care of the passing vendors first, Ma Zhou came up and asked for two buckets of wine, and he was ready to find something after drinking.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper saw that this scholar did not look like an ordinary person, so he should not be exempted from his wine money, and he also offered him a pestering to go all the way to Chang'an.

Li Chengyang also drank wine in Li Yuan's place, and some of the wine looked like ten degrees, which was about the same degree as the current beer, which was already a great spirit, and most of the wine was not even as good as beer, and even a little wine had to be tasted carefully to taste.

A bucket of wine in the Tang Dynasty was about six liters in modern times, two buckets of wine, twelve liters, a little more than half of the bottled water at home, and anyone who could hold a bucket of water and knock it down half, it is estimated that many people will be frightened.

Maybe the store was afraid that Ma Zhou would be strangled to death in his shop, so he hurriedly paid to send Ma Zhou away, or why didn't Ma Zhou stay overnight, there is no reason to be optimistic about a person's bad feelings in sending people away.

However, looking at the smug expression on Ma Zhou's face, as if he had been affirmed by the innkeeper, he was still muttering that if he had the opportunity, he would not forget to pull the shopkeeper, and Li Chengyang did not ask his own questions.

It's better to remember the good of others than to remember the hatred of a lifetime.

Of course, Ma Zhou also told Li Chengyang about the small-bellied chicken intestine version of King Qin that was circulating in the market, thinking that this hairy boy would be furious, who knew that Li Chengyang just smiled, Li Shimin had already told him that people who could say that King Qin was not good were not good men and gentlemen, and there would be a long time to make up for it, Li Chengyang believed that when he could officially appear on the stage of the Tang Dynasty one day, all the rumors would be self-defeating.

Ma Zhou was also brought up by Li Chengyang's spirit, and kept saying that he wanted to remember those who said bad things one by one, and settle the accounts one by one in the future.

The two of them have the same hatred, the carriage has arrived at the palace, the guards checked and let a few people into the palace, Li Chengyang pulled up Ma Zhou and went straight to the side courtyard, until Ma Zhou stepped into the side courtyard, then put his mind at ease, finally, the famous Ma Zhou entered his command, which laid a good foundation for his future lazy career, no, for him to sit in the center in the future, and lay a good foundation for the cause of radiating the world.

At the same time, of course, it is great to be able to stay at home.

Call out all the people in the courtyard, it is Li San who is on duty today, nine people in the secret guard, three people are arranged every week, and nine people work in shifts to ensure that there are people around Li Chengyang at all times, it was originally Li Shuang's, but he was sent to Luoyang.

introduced the people in the courtyard to Ma Zhou one by one, and then asked Xiao'er to prepare the meal, and Li Chengyang personally accompanied Ma Zhou and explained to him about the Ice Control Division, he was ready to hand over the operation of the Ice Control Division to Ma Zhou, and he would provide some technical and ideological support.
