Dai Li got out of the carriage and looked at the majestic palace in front of him, his legs and stomach were a little weak, he looked at the little guy next to him, and asked tremblingly: "Do you want to take me into the palace?" Could it be that the master behind you is from the palace? ”

The little guy didn't answer Dai Li's meaning, but took two steps forward with a smile, turned around and made a gesture of please.

Dai Li's scalp was a little numb, and the resistance in his heart became more and more obvious, he only felt that this situation was more unpredictable than death, but Rao was so, he didn't dare to run away at this pass, and now he ran away, there was only one possibility, that is, he was killed by a chaotic arrow through his heart.

"I ...... I'm going with you, don't show this kind of smile, it's weird. ”

The little guy stopped laughing, and walked into the palace with his head down, although Dai Li was a little curious, he didn't dare to raise his head, he lowered his head and walked forward with small steps.

Soon the people leading the way in front of him changed from one to two, and the other was obviously dressed as a eunuch.

Dai Li doesn't understand anything, but he understands one thing, the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and there can be no superfluous movements, so you have to do what others do.

After Dai Li's being led to a large hall and bowing down in the same way, he realized who the person at the top was.

It turned out to be today.

"Let's get out of here."

Gonggong Hong gave an order, and the other two got up and retired, and Dai Li did the same, got up and prepared to leave, thinking that the emperor was just to see his appearance, so he tried his best to call himself in from outside the palace.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Father-in-law Hong said in a funny and angry voice: "Hey, Dai family, what are you doing when you get up?" You have to stay. ”

Dai Li subconsciously raised his head to look at Gonggong Hong, smiled awkwardly and said, "I...... I thought ......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the two who went out first.

Hong Gonggong was angry, but he felt that if the person in front of him was not pretending, he was really missing a string. There are not many such people now, especially in the palace.

Gonggong Hong didn't know where he got his feelings, Seeing that he was still stiff and looking at the emperor, this is a big disrespect, and he wants to punish the nine clans, so he immediately coughed and motioned him to lower his head.

"You're Dai Li?"

"I ...... The grass people are called Dai Li. ”

"Literate?"

"I know words, but I can't make a fuss."

The emperor asked, and Dai Li replied, Gonggong Hong not only felt a breath in his heart now, but also felt a little pain in his teeth.

There is no room for simple people in the palace, and people like him are only afraid of being eaten, and they can't spit out any bones.

"Do you want to be an official?"

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't want to, I'm too tired." I don't want to get up at the end of the day. ”

"Just because of that?"

"yes, and I don't really like to deal with people, they have too many eyes, I can't play with them. At the beginning, someone said that they would partner with me in business. The half-finished crossbow arrows I made were handed over to him to sell, and I was given 500 yuan for a crossbow arrow...... I thought he was a very real person, but then I went to the market to inquire, and a crossbow arrow cost thirty taels of silver! ”

Dai Li said as he puffed out, he was quite handsome, and he didn't look weird at this time, but in this study, he felt a little out of place.

"You don't want to be an official."

Qi Yuan knocked lightly twice, thinking about what to do with him. He is a man who is so simple and easy to deceive, that he can use it for himself as well as for others, as long as he uses the right means.

"And what do you want?"

"I want nothing more...... It's good to be alive, but it's too hard to earn money these days. ”

Dai Li said as he secretly looked at the emperor, still praying in his heart, hoping that the emperor would not be angry because of his offense, he was not dissatisfied with the prices of the Celestial Empire, it was really just because he was too poor.

"The boxes of munitions you sold before, do you know that it is a great crime to kill your head."

Hearing the emperor ask, Dai Li was a little aggrieved and said: "Those things are not what I want to sell, I just wanted to sell a few crossbow arrows, because I fell out with the person before, so I haven't entered the account for a long time, and the money and food at home have been exhausted, so I can only use finished crossbow arrows to exchange for money, and then someone went to raid my home and locked me up......"

Dai Li's words were all true, and until now he didn't understand how he could find himself with a few crossbow arrows, and he also found out the military supplies he hid.

"I see."

Qi Yuan nodded, and he didn't know how to evaluate Dai Li's experience, he only felt that he seemed to be too honest, not so much that he was honest, but that he lacked heart.

"Do you have research on the Flame Bolt?"

"Yes, this is the ancestral motto of my Dai family. Study the Lianzhu Fire Gun to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in the sky. ”

"This is interesting, let's hear, why did your ancestors formulate such ancestral teachings?"

Dai Li stammered and finished talking about his ancestors, but in the end, his face turned red, and this ancestral precept seemed to be left behind because of the dissatisfaction of the ancestors.

It's his heart disease.

But it is too selfish to ask these of them to repay it as future generations.

Dai Li was no longer as cramped as he had just been, and when he talked about his ancestors, he talked more, and he didn't care who the person listening to him was, so he started talking endlessly.

At the end, Dai Li wiped his face and said: "Obviously it is for the benefit of the country, but in the end, it is really ridiculous and wronged to give us all the reputation of a chaotic minister and thief." ”

After he had said this, he realized that it was no one else who was sitting in front of him and listening to him, but the holy things of the present day, which for him were actually equivalent to complaining to him about himself.

"Okay, I see."

Dai Li smiled reluctantly, only feeling that he was in a catastrophe at this time, there is no king in this world who likes other people's disobedient words, and now he is afraid that the gods will not be able to save him.

Just as Dai Li was waiting for the emperor to pronounce the death sentence on him, the sound of the report came from outside the door.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

Qi Yuan really didn't expect that Yin Qingqi would come over at this time, but she actually wanted to meet Dai Li.

"Please, Queen."

After that, I saw the curtain of the door swaying, and a figure walked in from outside the door, bringing a cold air, and the emperor no longer sat still, but got up and took two steps, Dai Li's head turned slightly, and peeked at the queen mother who had just arrived.

"Why did the queen come here?"

"This palace also wants to see what the Dai family looks like, whether they have three heads and six arms, and how they can do such a delicate job."

Dai Li could hear that this was the queen mother praising herself, her face was overjoyed, and she responded beautifully: "Back to the queen's words, the grass people don't have three heads and six arms, these things are studied by our ancestors for dozens of generations, if I am alone, I will definitely not be able to make anything." ”
