Qiao Qiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that as a man, he should not be famous by his appearance. ”

"Haha, that's a good point, you have such a mind at a young age, I should have sent someone to kill that group of bandits earlier, you are disfigured, but more people are not even killed." When the emperor said this, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"The emperor doesn't have to blame himself, you have done a good job, at least you are not a faint king, this is the greatest blessing for us to be ordinary people." Qiao Qiu comforted.

The emperor waved his hand, "I'm ashamed." ”

Qiao Qiu thought about it, he wanted to negotiate a deal with the emperor before, but now that the opportunity has come, he should not miss it. Although this person only relies on one sentence, from the perspective of behavior, there is no doubt that he is the emperor. Okay, let her take advantage of this opportunity, and talk about it later.

"Your Majesty, you have a deal you want to talk to the grass people, and the grass people also have a deal you want to talk to the emperor."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, it was the first time he had met someone who dared to negotiate a deal with him, "Let's hear it." ”

"The deal that the grass people want to make with the emperor is that the grass people earn silver for the emperor, and two or seven percent of the silver they get will be handed over to the treasury, leaving only three percent, two percent of the cost, and one will become the income of the grass people."

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qiu would abandon his own interests, and the emperor was surprised.

Qiao Qiu continued: "The grass people do this, they only hope to enrich and strengthen our country, and the emperor can use this silver to do things for the country and the people. As for the grass people, please ask the emperor to give the grass people a marriage except for himself, no one can make the decision, let alone force a woman to me. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and couldn't help laughing, "This holy decree, why do I think you are guarding against me?" Perhaps, a strange person like you, who can't think of you with ordinary thoughts in the first place, I will give you this holy decree and another gold medal, and seeing the gold medal is like seeing me. ”

Qiao Qiu bowed, "Thank you for your grace." ”

The emperor took out the gold medal, gave it to Qiao Qiu, and said, "I have made you a friend, from today onwards, in private, you can get up in front of me." ”

Qiao Qiu stood up and said, "Did the emperor give the grass people an edict first, if one day the emperor can't remember today, the grass people are not very unlucky?" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You are really cunning enough, I will prepare a handwritten edict for you." ”

After speaking, the emperor took out the small holy decree he carried with him, wrote it down with the imperial pen, stamped it with the seal, and handed it to Qiao Qiu.

Qiao Qiu looked at the edict, and after confirming that the content on it was true, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I didn't give you any tokens, just a few words, you believe me, aren't you afraid that I will betray you in the future?" ”

The emperor smiled chicly: "I believe in my own vision, the so-called use of people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not used." ”

"The emperor is a little too confident." Qiao Qiu put the oracle into her sleeve, she knew that the real thought in his heart was definitely that she didn't dare to betray him, and the so-called belief was just confidence in the imperial power.

"If I am not confident, how can I sit on the throne and become the emperor?"

At this point, Qiao Qiu didn't say much, after all, what the emperor said was not wrong, he really couldn't be an emperor if he wasn't confident, and even if he did, he could only be a puppet emperor.

"Before the emperor came to Xiangzhou, did he visit the top ten wealthy businessmen?"

"Of course I did, they're very different from you." The emperor pointed out that it was authentic.

"Oh? What are they like? Qiao Qiu asked, and he also had a rough guess in his heart.

"You'll know when you see them."

The emperor didn't want to say anything, Qiao Qiu raised his eyebrows, it was not possible to learn their information from the emperor, it seemed that he had to find another way.

"Shen Junbai, the more I look at you, the more I feel like a person."

"Like whom?" Qiao Qiu pretended to be confused.

"The little boy I met yesterday, his name is Qiao Qiu, have you heard of it?"

Qiao Qiu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"You're not wrong to say that, yesterday he said that he knows you, but you don't know him." The emperor showed a look of pity, and then said to Qiao Qiu: "I can't stay in Xiangzhou for long, you can find him for me." Find him, see his injuries, and if he doesn't get better, ask me to get a doctor to treat him, because I hurt him by mistake. ”

"Seeing the emperor like this, is he seriously injured?" Qiao Qiu felt his injury and felt that it was okay, nothing special, and he should be fine after a few days of rest.

"I don't have a heavy hand, but when I think of his pale face, I'm afraid there are other injuries." The emperor was a little worried.

"The emperor is so concerned about him, he won't be a man dressed as a man, right?" Qiao Qiu felt a little funny, and didn't know whether it was right or wrong to say that this emperor's approach of digging out his heart for talents.

The emperor propped his forehead and looked at her, a smile crossed his black eyes, "Jun Bai is this jealous?" ”

"Your Majesty, consider the wording, I want to be jealous, and I should be jealous of the people I like, you and I are friends, and we are both men." Qiao Qiu emphasized the last two words.

"What happened to men? Most of my dynasty were men and women, and as far as I know, the man my father loved the most was a man. The emperor could see that Qiao Qiu was not angry, so he simply made a joke a little bigger.

"The emperor can see it." Qiao Qiu was a little surprised, but thinking about it, in ancient times, he was very open about the matter of broken sleeves, and the emperor was even the originator.

"You're also a good person, and when you hear this kind of thing, you don't have the slightest disgust." The emperor was also surprised, he stood up, walked in front of Qiao Qiu, and stretched his hand to her face.

Qiao Qiu subconsciously took a step back, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" ”

After the emperor took his hand, he said: "I want to see your scar, go back and ask the imperial doctor to see if it can be cured." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm used to this scar."

"I'm really used to it, what are you afraid of letting me see it?"

Qiao Qiu said: "I'm afraid of scaring you." ”

"I've seen all the festers all over my body, how can this little scar of yours make me afraid?" The emperor insisted on taking her mask.

Qiao Qiu took another step back, avoided his hand, and said, "If the emperor wants to see it, then let's see it." ”

The emperor didn't make any more moves, and watched Qiao Qiu reach out and take off the mask. The shocking scar surrounds the eyes, and the original mysterious beauty instantly destroys the scar.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of seeing it now?" Qiao Qiu raised her head slightly, and the emperor was half a head taller than her.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, moved closer to her, and pointed his fingertips on her scar.

Feeling that something was wrong with the edge of the 'scar', Qiao Qiu suddenly panicked, and instinctively took another step back, but this time she was not so lucky, she stepped on the edge of the steps, unsteadily, and fell backwards.
