Zhou Qi said eagerly: "What are you going to do when you go back, go directly to Mengqi City, I can't wait to see the king." Our family, I bother you to send them directly to the city. ”

Zhao Fang looked at the other three and asked for their opinions.

Cao Hui and Fang Zhao half-pushed and half-agreed, and Chen Xiu did not express his opinion, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Zhao Fang arranged for someone to pick up their families at Ning'an Wharf, and he took them to Mengqi City by land.

It happened to be noon when they arrived, and Wen Yi, who had already received the news, decided to treat them to a meal.

Don't underestimate eating, there are many things that can be seen at the dinner table.

The meals are much richer than usual, usually Wen Yi eats by himself with two dishes and a bowl of soup, but today it is rare to have ten dishes and three soups.

With the pace of the merchants of the Tang Kingdom, stir-fried vegetables have spread, but most of them are circulated in the homes of the powerful, and ordinary people are still difficult to eat.

Even in the Tang Kingdom, it was not common, mainly because the founding time was too short. In the first two years, the people were busy clearing wasteland and running family businesses, and they didn't have time to study this thing.

Their eating habits are closer to the previous steaming.

But now that everyone has stabilized their footing, they have time to pursue new things, and I believe that it will be popularized in a few years.

Zhou Qisi lived in Lingnan, and he had no chance to come into contact with stir-fried food, and he was really conquered by this fresh taste for the first time.

Wen Yi has been observing the four of them.

Fang Zhao and Cao Hui wanted to eat but were afraid of people's jokes, so they couldn't let go of their hands and feet.

Chen Xiu handled it indifferently, and ate unhurriedly, as if he had eaten countless times.

Zhou Qi made no secret of his preferences, and the chopsticks never stopped from beginning to end, and he could see the phantom.

Their performance is basically in line with the situation reported by Zhao Fang.

Zhou Qi is a square and casual person, full of good feelings for Tang Guo, and wants to stay.

After seeing it with his own eyes, his performance is indeed the same, and his words are the most, basically praising the good and all kinds of good policies of the Tang Kingdom, and he does not hide his thoughts about what he wants to do.

Cao Hui and Fang Zhao were still swaying, wanting this opportunity to become a leader but feeling unwilling to serve Tang Guo.

To put it bluntly, he is not optimistic about the future of the Tang Kingdom.

Of course, it may also be that he was afraid of saying his true thoughts, and Wen Yi slaughtered them with a knife.

Only Chen Xiu made him unsure.

In the information sent by Zhao Fang, this person is arrogant and even has a bit of a mental problem, and he speaks harshly and harshly, and he doesn't take Tang Guo seriously at all.

But from the time they met to the present, his performance was not like this. Pride is indeed very proud, and this cannot be deceived.

But not arrogant to the point of empty-sightedness.

There were very few words, except for the first two sentences, and he kept silent.

So Wen Yi is also a little unsure of what this person thinks.

After eating, Wen Yi went straight to the point and said: "The start-up of the Tang Kingdom is in need of people with lofty ideals to join, and the four gentlemen have been inspecting the island for more than half a month, I don't know what to think?" ”

Zhou Qina bowed his head and said: "Zhou Qi is willing to serve under the king, please take the king in." ”

Wen Yi said happily: "Mr. Zhou, please get up quickly, it is the king's luck to have Mr. help me." ”

Cao Hui and Fang Zhao hesitated, and finally turned their gaze to Chen Xiu, as if they wanted to see what he thought before making a decision.

Chen Xiu arched his hand and said: "I want to talk to the king alone, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Several people were surprised, with his performance along the way, he should have refused directly, how could he ask for a separate conversation?

Wen Yi was also surprised, but he didn't refuse: "Okay, three gentlemen, let's go to the side hall for a while, and I'll talk to Mr. Chen." ”

Zhou Qi and the three of them hurriedly got up and left with the chamberlain.

When everyone left, Chen Xiu suddenly smiled and said, "The king must think that I am an arrogant and arrogant person. ”

Wen Yi bowed his head and said: "With your performance when you entered the island, it is true. But it depends on the situation, this should be done on purpose, why? ”

Chen Xiu replied: "First, I want to test the king's strength; the second is to help the king recognize the temperament of the four of us, so as not to use the wrong person; The third is to take the opportunity to alienate the relationship with Guo Jiting. ”

Wen Yi said puzzled: "I understand the first point, the second point is barely understood, and the third point is why?" ”

Chen Xiu said: "Guo Jiting is too serious about winning and losing, and he will not see anyone he knows the most, otherwise he will be resentful." ”

"I think that my ability is above him, and if Tang Chen will live above him in the future, it will inevitably be filthy at that time. It is better to distance yourself from them now, so as not to be controlled by others because of human feelings in the future. ”

Wen Yi said questioningly: "I have seen Guo Langzhong's talent with my own eyes, he is really a genius, you are so confident?" ”

Chen Xiu said: "If you are not confident, you will not come to Tang Kingdom." ”

Wen Yi sneered: "Didn't you change your mind after seeing the real situation of Tang Guo and make an excuse for yourself temporarily?" ”

Chen Xiuzheng said: "I had long expected that the king would think about this, so I left a letter to my family before leaving. The true purpose of the trip was written on it, and the king sent someone to take it and see if it was true or false. ”

This Xia Yi was really a little surprised, he could think of this and write a letter in advance to leave evidence, just this point can see that this person's thinking is clear, far beyond ordinary people.

"But no matter what, Guo Jiting is your recommender, and you are not a gentleman to do this to him."

Chen Xiu did not deny it, and said: "I have never said that I am a gentleman, and I will not be a gentleman." The king must also know the personalities of the four of us, and the only one who can be called a gentleman is Zhou Qi. ”

Wen Yi rarely saw someone who evaluated himself like this, so he couldn't help but be interested, and asked, "Oh, then you can evaluate the five of you." ”

Chen Xiu said: "Guo Jiting is indeed talented, but he is extremely focused on winning and losing, and he does not compromise the means to achieve the goal. If you compare it with historical figures, I think he is more like Qin Zhilisi. ”

"Zhou Qi is upright and upright, but sometimes he is too old-fashioned and inflexible...... With Guo Jiting here, I'm afraid he will become Han Feizi. ”

"Cao Hui and Fang Zhao are just grass on the wall, usable and not credible. However, the two of them are very knowledgeable, and it is a good choice for them to compile books. ”

"As for my ......," Chen Xiu smiled proudly and said, "I want to be a pipe, I don't know if the king can become my Qi Huan Gong." ”

Guan Zhong? Qi Huan Gong?

Wen Yi shook his head and smiled: "Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, I don't want to be the Duke of Qi Huan, nor do I want to be anyone, I am me, the lord of the Tang Kingdom." ”

Chen Xiu said convincingly: "The king's strength is heartbreaking, Chen Xiu, please serve the king." ”

Can you join if you want to? Now it's my turn to test you. Self-comparison, I hope you can have real talent and learning, instead of just talking about it.

"Don't worry, I still have a lot of unanswered questions, since you hate Guo Jiting so much, why did you come to Tang Kingdom thousands of miles away because of his letter?"
