Chapter 21: Be Loyal to the King in Body and Mind!
"No, no, how dare Zimo grab food from His Highness, let's leave it all to His Highness......
"All left to this king? Heh......" Gao Chang glanced at Gu Zimo, his thin lips slightly hooked, "I understand." ”
"What do you understand?"
Gu Zimo was apprehensive when Gao Changgong's look seemed to be smiling.
After Gao Changgong swept his clothes with a complicated expression, his smile became a little thicker, "If you want to beg, you have to get up early, otherwise it will be difficult for you to occupy the territory." ”
"Poof......
Who wants to beg?
What does Gao Changgong mean!
Gu Zimo was choked and coughed a few times, smoothed out, and said a little angrily: "What are you kidding!" Even if I leave the palace, I can go home, do I have to beg to not go hungry? ”
Regarding Gu Zimo's complaints, Gao Changgong smiled faintly and did not answer.
"What do you mean by not talking? Could it be that Mr. Cheng Gao can go back to his hometown for the holidays, but I can't? ”
When Gu Zimo heard Gao Changgong talk about Gao Wen and their return to their hometown for the holiday, he was excited in his heart, he finally didn't have to stay in the palace.
However, at this moment, listening to Gao Chang's words, it seems that he does not understand this thing......
Sure enough, Gao Changgong's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, stared at him, and said word by word: "I was right by you, it is true." ”
"Why can't I be the only one who can't leave? Your Highness, you know the righteousness, why are you the only one who is embarrassed? I don't think I've ever been sorry for Your Highness......"
"Because, you're different from them."
Gao Changgong's answer made Gu Zimo almost vomit blood.
The last time he was in the carriage, Gawain had said something similar.
"They are all working for the prince, what's the difference?"
"Of course it's different." Gao Changgong wiped away the superfluous look on his face, and the tone between his mouths suddenly became a little serious, "They only need to be sincere to this king, and you, not only hearthearted, but also heartfelt, understand?" ”
"For life?"
Gu Zimo's eyes widened, "No, no, no, Your Highness, you can't do this, how can Zimo be ...... There is absolutely no ability to wait for His Highness for the rest of his life...... I also ask Your Highness to choose another meritocracy, another meritocracy......"
"Heh, let this king choose another meritorious? Do you mean, this king chose you, and the vision is not good? ”
"Ah, Your Highness misunderstood, Zimo didn't mean that......"
"Well, you don't dare to mean that."
Gao Changgong saw Gu Zimo's face deflated, and glanced at Gu Zimo meaningfully and said: "If someone doesn't stay in the palace well and has to do something crooked, this king doesn't mind sending someone to inform Mr. Gao that they don't have to rush back after the New Year." ”
Being stunned by Gao Changgong's heart, Gu Zimo swallowed his saliva, "......Is someone Your Highness talking about Zimo?"
"Aren't you smart? Guess for yourself. ”
The corners of Gu Zimo's mouth twitched wildly, but he had to show a flattering smile on his face, "Hehe, I guess someone is definitely not me, you know, I'm very smart, so there's no need to do anything crooked......"
"Well, I'm sure you won't." Gao Changgong did not expose his false assurance, and after glancing at him, he said with a smile: "Have you learned about my preferences with Manager Gao?" ”
Gu Zimo was stunned.
I didn't expect Gao Changgong to suddenly say this.
In his heart, he was dissatisfied with Gawain.
I didn't expect Mr. Gao to be so unconcerned when he was old, and he even told Gao Changgong about this.
"Hehehe, that's right, Zimo, as a staff member of His Highness, wants to serve His Highness, so to learn more about your preferences, it is also to facilitate and better loyalty to His Highness, Zimo is really attentive and attentive......"
Gu Zimo squeezed out an incomparably sincere smile.
He thought that such flattery and flattery would be effective for Gao Chang's flattery.
Otherwise, Gao Wen would not have happily told him Gao Changgong's preferences.
Gao Wen did that, wasn't it Gao Changgong's instructions.
Isn't that what it means to want to be loyal to him like an obedient dog?
How could Gu Zimo's false rhetoric escape Gao Changgong's eyes.
Gao Changgong did not expose him.
just looked at Gu Zimo with a smile: "...... You're here with a heart. ”
When Gu Zimo heard this, he hurriedly kicked his nose on his face, and his smile became more and more flattering, "Yes, Your Highness is the pride of Daqi, Zimo has always regarded you as an idol, how dare you not care about your affairs, hehehe......"
Gao Changgong ignored Gu Zimo's false remarks, nor did he get angry.
As if he hadn't heard it, his eyes moved away from Gu Zimo and landed on a plate of almond crisp on the table.
The slender and white fingers picked up a piece of almond crisp, and under Gu Zimo's hot gaze, it was brought to his lips, and he ate it with extremely elegant movements.
Gu Zimo didn't feel hungry at first, but when he saw Gao Changgong eating almond crisp, he realized that the gluttonous worm was instantly hooked.
His stomach purred, and he didn't give him face at all, making him look particularly embarrassed to stand there.
Gu Zimo quietly glanced at Gao Changgong, who had already eaten half of the almond crisp.
There are also five almond cakes on the plate, which are gilded with an even more delicious glow in the yellowish candlelight.
Gu Zimo swallowed his saliva and licked his lips unconsciously.
Almond crisp that you can reach with just a hand......
But because of his words, he had to hold back his desire for almond crisp.
I didn't say that I would leave the almond crisp to Gao Changgong.
It's good now, but as soon as the words come out, it's hard to get back.
Watching Gao Changgong eat almond crisp like this is really a great torture.
By the way, Gao Changgong seems to have said that there is almond crisp in the dining room......
Do you want to go to the dining room quietly?
Anyway, Gao Changgong is so busy, he definitely won't stare at him.
The idea was decided, and Gu Zimo was about to find an excuse to slip away.
Gao Changgong suddenly got up and walked out of the conference hall noisily.
Gu Zimo looked puzzled, and wanted to go to the dining hall to find almond crisp to eat, but because Gao Changgong left suddenly, he put it down for the time being.
Because Gao Changgong is not here at this time, doesn't it just give him a chance to taste these almond cakes?
Gu Zimo glanced at the plate of almond crisp, it was really deliciously tight.
Unceremoniously sat down in the position where Gao Changgong was sitting, grabbed the almond crisp and stuffed it into his mouth.
The crispy flavor instantly satisfied his needs.
After eating three pieces of almond crisp in a row, he found that the more he ate, the more fragrant he became, until there was still the last piece left, Gu Zimo suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
"Suffered, Gao Changgong is back!"
He was startled, wiped his mouth, and hurriedly got up, but because he was too nervous, when he got up, he bumped into the vase on the side......
With a bang, the vase fell to the ground and shattered.
Gu Zimo was stunned for a moment, looking at the debris in that place and was a little overwhelmed.
Scratching his head, "It's just a vase, it's a big deal to buy him the same ......"
The long white shadow swished and teleported directly from outside the door to the chamber.
The sudden appearance made Gu Zimo startled.
But I saw that the man was staring at him with an extremely ugly face, Gu Zimo's heart was empty, no! It's just that I ate a few pieces of his almond crisp and made a vase, as for revealing such a scared face!
Although his heart was stared at, Gu Zimo's face was sincere and explained to Gao Changgong: "If Zimo accidentally breaks the vase, Zimo will buy the same one and pay it to His Highness." ”
"Huh." Gao Changgong's face not only did not improve because of his explanation, but became a little more ugly.
"These debris, Zimo will also be responsible for cleaning up the ......"
"This is a royal gift from the Emperor Taishang, it is worth a lot of money, there is only one in the world, how do you pay this king exactly the same?"
Gao Changgong's words made Gu Zimo's face stiffen.
"This, this, this is actually a royal gift from the Emperor...... Is it? That's really a sin, Zimo Fang is really careless......"
If it's so precious, why doesn't he put it away properly?
Still in such a place that it can be easily touched?
Gu Zimo even had some suspicions that Gao Changgong was deliberately placed there to trip him.
"This king does not suspect that you did it on purpose, but you have to pay for breaking things."
"Yes, yes, Zimo didn't want to evade responsibility, he wanted to compensate, and when Zimo got the monthly salary, he would ......"
Before Gu Zimo's words were finished, he was interrupted by Gao Changgong, "Are you sure you want to pay off your debts with a monthly salary?" With your monthly salary, you won't be able to pay off this debt in less than ten years. ”
"Ten years? So long? Isn't my monthly income very high? Why do you have to wait so long......"
Gu Zimo's eyes widened, and he looked at Gao Changgong with suspicion.
He couldn't have done it on purpose, would he?
But I don't think so.
He is a royal prince and nobleman, and he is a prince with great military achievements, blackmailing himself for such a small role, and he is not afraid of spreading it out?
"Your monthly salary is not low, but it is still worse than the imperial gifts rewarded by the Emperor."
"Can't you be accommodating? This...... Your Highness, I really didn't mean to...... For the sake of my diligent service for you, can I be a little less? ”
"It's already a friendship price." Gao Changgong took Gu Zimo's aggrieved look into his eyes, and said with a serious expression: "This imperial product is already of the highest grade and is a priceless treasure. ”
“…… All right...... Ten years is ten years......"
Gu Zimo didn't expect that gluttony would lead to such a catastrophe.
Now his bowels are gone.
"You seem to be mistaken, this king said ten years, but it is just a metaphor, with your monthly salary of ten years, you can probably pay it off. However, this king did not agree, and gave you ten years to pay off the debt. ”
Gao Changgong's words suddenly changed, and there was no room for change between his words.
Gu Zimo had already gritted his teeth and promised him a ten-year deadline for repaying his debts.
Now, the other party suddenly said that this decade is not another decade?
How does this make Gu Zimo accept?
"Your Highness, are you serious?"
Gao Changgong's narrow black eyes narrowed slightly, exuding danger that people couldn't ignore, "When has this king not been serious?" Within 10 days, you need to pay off the 100,000 taels of silver you owe. ”
"Ten, ten??"
Gu Zimo's eyes were almost about to fall.
didn't care about the interests and humility, and accused on the spot: "Why don't you just execute me?" Wouldn't it be better to pay for the 100,000 taels of silver with my life? ”
