Chapter 35: Seventeen Also Swings (Plus Change)
"Your Highness, everyone hasn't gone out recently, have we corrected ourselves?" Seventeen asked helplessly.
"Not at all, it's a necessary sacrifice."
In the past few days, under Chen Li's orders, the people in the palace have been much more low-key recently, and they don't go out to buy food, and they are all delivered by others.
I usually go home once a week to once a month, all to avoid trouble.
Although the probability of an accident is already low, it is better to be able to be the lowest.
Although Chen Li is not afraid of trouble, he also does not want to cause trouble, especially some young generals who lack roots in their brains, who are difficult and unreasonable.
Everything is prepared.
Anyway, the salary is raised, and no one in the palace has an opinion.
What is the reason not to do this kind of thing that everyone is satisfied with, and what reason is there to oppose it.
And Chen Li doesn't have to let everyone stay in the palace, if you don't want to stay, you can not stay, you can go home to recuperate, it is considered a leave, and the salary will be paid.
It's just that everyone wants subsidies, so they all stay in the palace.
This is the majority of the choice, and a small number have no reason to oppose it.
"I feel like I don't have anything to do here." Seventeen said boredly: "I usually have tasks to do in the dark guard, to protect Your Highness, I feel that I am redundant."
When I first came to beat me, I felt a little more useful when I encountered that assassination, and I was usually fishing.
There are no ups and downs in this kind of life, and people lose their spirits. ”
Zhang Long: "......."
Chen Li: "......."
"If you don't like this kind of life, then what kind of work do you like?" Zhang Long had grass in his mouth and lay speechless under the stump.
It can be seen from the eyes of those servants in the palace that this kind of salted fish life is not envied by many people, and Seventeen even dislikes it, and he has also opened his eyes.
"You still want something to happen to me." Chen Li held the wooden sword and said quietly.
"Of course not!" Seventeen shook his head: "I'm just used to being busy with the secret guard, and I came to this kind of salted fish post all of a sudden, and the gap is too big, and I haven't gotten used to it yet."
It would be nice if I could find something to do, but it's a pity that Your Highness doesn't cause trouble, and no one has come to assassinate you now.
Even practicing swordsmanship doesn't need to be taught by me, which makes me feel like a waste. ”
Seventeen sighed, she used to have something to do every day in the secret guard, collecting intelligence, finding out information, assassinating the enemy, and killing the two bandits at the place of the mission, punishing the evil and promoting the good.
Although it is dangerous and I am reprimanded by His Majesty every time, it is a fulfilling life that makes people feel the meaning of life.
Now although the living environment is better than before, the task is easier than before, but there is no passion at all, every day is to sleep and eat, eat and guard His Highness to practice the sword, after practicing the sword and sleep, wake up and eat......
It feels like people are going to be wasted.
"You can't think like that." Chen Li put away his sword and said with relief: "Although you have nothing to do, it doesn't mean that you don't create value.
Think about it, if you guard me every day, do you don't need other guards, and other guards can free up their hands to do other things and create new value.
If you eat in the palace every day, do you need someone to deliver food, and will it create new value and boost the economy of the capital at this time? ”
"It's a little." Seventeen nodded: "I can't go out of my guards, and I shake the dice every day when I take shifts, which really creates a lot of value."
It's not that I don't like this kind of life, I just want to create more value. ”
Saying that, Seventeen glanced at Zhang Long and said lightly: "If I eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, guard His Highness to practice martial arts, and think about indulgence when I have nothing to do, and be such a wasteful person, what is the meaning of my life." ”
Zhang Long: "........"
Chen Li was speechless, he would still be found fault if he was so honest, or .......
Wrong! I am Your Highness.
Why should I listen to Seventeen?
Chen Li instantly realized that he was the boss, why should he listen to the employees.
"You want me to be assassinated." Chen Li looked at Seventeen with an unkind face.
"No ......."
"Then don't talk nonsense, just watch me practice martial arts and protect me."
Chen Li interrupted Seventeen, how could he be led by the nose by the employees as a boss.
Looking at the confused Seventeen, Chen Li reminded: "As a member of the original secret guard, please have some professional ethics, don't give too many opinions to your superiors, you just need to implement it." ”
"However, His Majesty also listened to opinions before." Seventeen retorted, "Why don't you listen. ”
"He is him, I am me, if I am the same as my father, then what is the meaning of you changing the boss, your boss is not changed in vain."
After speaking, Chen Li directly sealed Seventeen's retreat, and said with a displeased face: "In short, you just need to listen to me, I will do whatever I tell you to do, don't ask so many whys." ”
Seventeen was silent.
Chen Li saw that she didn't speak, and tacitly agreed that she agreed with her opinion, ignored it, and went to practice the sword with peace of mind.
However, Seventeen became a little autistic, and began to eat with a small snack every day when he had nothing to do.
At the beginning, I was quite dedicated and would eat standing up, but when I got to the back, I sat and ate, squatted and ate, and chatted with Zhang Long from time to time.
Although Chen Li was very pleased with this change, he was a little unhappy.
It was too obvious to touch the fish, what if another assassin came to assassinate him, if the two of them reacted slowly, they would not put him in danger.
Can't you just install it?
It's too much.
It's all to blame on Zhang Long, who taught seventeen badly.
Chen Li sighed, the words of the previous two days belonged to correcting the mistakes, turning a little girl who was full of hope for life and full of enthusiasm into a bad person.
Even if you have nothing to do, you can cultivate like him, as for the disagreement, you can open it up.
In the past few days, under the spur of the two, Chen Li has cultivated even harder.
Others put him hard, which means that he works twice as hard, and sooner or later one day he will be able to surpass seventeen, catch Zhang Long, and become a grandmaster.
"Your Highness, there are people outside who want to see you."
The little guard came in from outside, interrupting Chen Li's thoughts.
"Didn't you push it all, I didn't see anyone, how could I ......."
An old man in coarse linen clothes appeared in the courtyard, with a smile on his face, and said with a beard: "Is this the seventh child of the Chen family?" Looks good. ”
The comer is not good!
Chen Li felt a huge pressure acting on his body, his entire back was bent down, and he couldn't help but want to kneel on the ground.
"What do you mean by senior, like this to my Highness." Zhang Long took out his long knife and stared at the old man in Mai with an unkind expression.
Chen Li was sweating profusely, and when he couldn't hold it anymore, the pressure on his body relaxed.
Resisting the urge to fall, he threw the fainting little guard behind.
The little guard was just controlled, not the little guard could resist, so in order for the little guard not to be accidentally injured by the fight later, it was better to stay behind.
"The mansion of the Seven Princes dares to break in, I don't want to live!" Seventeen also pulled out his long sword, and stood in front of Chen Nei with Zhang Long, staring at the old man in Mai, as long as there was little movement on the other side.
