Chapter 245: Flattery (Part II)

Chu Guolu Wang County, Weicheng. Huo Ran Wen'

The staff of King Lu in the recruitment hall were sitting in a circle around King Lulin, drinking spring tea and talking. A small servant came from outside the hall, holding a letter of worship in his hand, and saluted King Lu and said, "Lord, there is a young man outside who has come to visit and asked to see the prince." He claimed to be the apprentice of Lord Dongfang of the Shengwang Mansion, named Mo Ruxin. ”

King Lu, who was nearly fifty years old, smiled and said to all the staff: "King Sheng has no one under him, only Dongfang Yu, who is in the way and eyes. That Dongfang Yu's name is almost overshadowing King Sheng himself, and I don't know, what is his apprentice doing in this king's recruitment hall? ”

A staff member said: "Lord Wang, that Dongfang Yu has always been cunning, don't want to install a King Sheng's eyeliner in King Lu's mansion." ”

Another staff member shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, since Dongfang Yu is cunning, he naturally will not blatantly send his apprentice to be the eyeliner. If you send eyeliner, why bother to state your identity? ”

Another aide agreed: "Li Gong is extremely right. However, I only heard that Dongfang Yu had a son, but I never heard of any apprentices he accepted. Let's invite his apprentice to come in and talk about it. Dongfang Yu is very talented, it is said that he is more literary and martial arts than King Sheng, if the person who comes is really his apprentice, and is willing to serve our prince, it will be a help. ”

Lu Wang Lin nodded slightly, took the post from the little servant's hand, and ordered, "Please let him in." ”

King Lu opened the prayer post, only to see a sprinkled ode table, four characters and four characters, subdued and frustrated, handwriting is beautiful, and the fruit is extraordinary. In the ode table, the heroes and kings of all walks of life since the fall of the Zhou Dynasty were listed, and the six kings of Chu except King Lu were scolded one by one, and the scolding was very concise and very appropriate, and King Lu couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh. At the end of the ode, he praised King Lu very much, and said, "Only King Lu, I am willing to serve for a long time."

King Lu was overjoyed and thought: "Dongfang Yu, who was originally known as the first strategist of the Chu State, couldn't even keep his own apprentice!" It is rumored that King Sheng is going to send troops to six counties to unify the Chu realm, but aren't the outstanding staff members in his palace coming to join this king? ”

King Lu looked at the beautifully written ode again, and only heard a crisp Chu Yin say: "The villain is not as good as his heart, please meet the prince!" ”

King Lu looked up and saw a white-clothed young man wearing a royal blue belt standing in front of all the staff, with a long sword hanging from his waist, clean and neat, and his eyebrows were beautiful. King Lu was very happy to see that this young man was so good-looking, so he asked straight to the point: "Why did Prince Mo leave King Sheng's Mansion and come to join this king?" ”

Mo Ruxin's clear eyes looked directly at King Lu, and his tone was very sincere: "Lord Wang, although the villain studied under the Lord of the East and studied martial arts and the art of war with him for three years, he knows very well that King Sheng has won the Lord of the East, but he has no courage and no strategy, and he is at the mercy of others, and has no future. The villain is bent on making meritorious contributions, wants to serve the Ming Lord, dominate Chudi, and reopen Zhaohuang, how can he be buried in the palace of King Sheng? Looking at Chu Land, can the prince still think of a Ming Lord who is more suitable to dominate Chu than yourself? If there is, the prince may wish to inform the villain, and the villain will go to run immediately! ”

King Lu laughed, laughed, got up and walked in front of Mo Ruxin, and said, "Master Mo speaks straightforwardly, this king likes it very much!" This king opened the 'Recruitment Hall' to recruit talents, and the recruiter was a master like Mo Gongzi, who was both civil and military, brave and strategic! ”

Mo Ruxin smiled slightly, with a deep meaning in his eyes, and said: "The prince has won the award, and the villain is ashamed." However, the villain does have a thousand strategies, and the strategy is for the king! ”

King Lu was curious: "Oh? Is Mo Gongzi right? ”

Mo Ruxin said: "It's true. Blue is better than blue, the villain learns from Dongfang Yu, and the art of war and strategy are naturally not a problem. Good birds choose trees to perch, if they meet the master, and then there are villains to work for it, why worry about Chu Realm is not unified, Zhaohuang is not open? ”

King Lu immediately commanded: "Come, give a seat, enjoy tea, serve refreshments!" He said to Mo Ruxin again: "Mo Gongzi might as well drink tea, chat slowly with this king and Zhongqing, and talk in detail, how to unify the Chu realm and reopen Zhaohuang." So he sat back in his seat.

Mo Ruxin did not sit down, but raised his chin, looked around the staff in the recruitment hall with disdain, raised his eyebrows and said to King Lu: "Lord Wang, King Sheng has no courage and no strategy, and there are thousands of mistakes, but there is only one thing, and he has done it very right." ”

King Lu asked, "What?" ”

Mo Ruxin said: "If the villain says it, he still hopes that the elders, don't be angry." ”

King Lu said: "You just say." ”

Mo Ruxin said: "King Sheng's eyes are clear, and among the many staff, he only believes, uses, and praises the villain's master, Dongfang Yu. Although Dongfang Yu's name is gradually overshadowing King Sheng himself, King Sheng is not small-bellied, but as always, he appoints people on the basis of merit. The villain's master, Wen Taowuluo, over the years, if King Sheng had not done his best to leave Dongfang Yu, Shengwang County would have been divided by the prince, King Yu and King Li. ”

The Li clan's staff interrupted unhappily: "Master Mo, listen to what you mean, do you mean that King Sheng only needs one Dongfang Yu, and our prince only needs to use you alone?" ”

Mo Ruxin nodded and said bluntly: "In fact, it is an extraordinary time to attack the city and seize the land and rebuild the unification. In extraordinary times, of course, extraordinary measures are needed. It is good to be inclusive, but there are many people, each with their own thoughts, and endless arguments, and it is often difficult to seize the best opportunity. With all due respect to the villain, the prince is already nearly half a hundred years old, and the reopening of Zhaohuang is an opportunity not to be lost, and it will not come again. The prince is much wiser and wiser than King Sheng, and the villain is more intelligent and alert than the villain's master. If the prince doesn't reuse the villain, he will miss the opportunity! ”

King Lu listened passionately, and said wisely: "Since Prince Mo intends to let this king reuse you alone, then your 'thousands of strategies', are you only willing to say to this king?" ”

Mo Ruxin nodded and said, "Lord Shengming." ”

King Lu got up and walked towards Mo Ruxin, and said to all the staff: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king has always believed in 'listening to the truth', so he will never be like King Sheng, who will use it alone. However, since Mo Gongzi has come from afar, this king must listen to his clever plans that are unwilling to be outsiders! So he said to Mo Ruxin: "Master Mo, please go to the palace with this king." ”

Mo Ruxin showed a smile in the corner of his eyes, then lowered his head and left the Zhaoxian Pavilion behind King Lu. She saw that the carriage of King Lu's mansion was outside the hall, so she said to King Lu: "Lord, the sun is shining today, and the villain is willing to walk back to the house with the prince, so that he can use this bright sunshine to shine a light on the dark schemes in the villain's chest." ”

King Lu smiled: "Mo Gongzi's words are interesting! Very good walking. ”

From Zhaoxian Hall to Luwang Mansion, you need to walk through a few clean residential alleys. The guards of King Lu's Mansion followed King Lu and Mo Ruxin far behind, but one by one, they were nowhere to be found. King Lu listened to Mo Ruxin's words in a daze, and did not notice the disappearing guards behind him.

King Lu had already seen the back wall of his mansion, and saw the pear tree with small white flowers blooming in the wall, and suddenly there was a pain in the back of his head, and his eyes were black, and he fell in front of Mo Ruxin.

Shu'er and Mo Yutan looked at each other and smiled, and Mo Yu said: "This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly. It seems that Xiao Mo will change the weapons he carries in the future. ”
