Chapter 243: A Crisis Hidden in the Shadows
It's not bad, Xiao Lizi, it's not bad, and I'm very satisfied with it now.
Zhou Hao also felt ridiculous in his heart after hearing this, where is this good, this is simply a luxury. In the mansion prepared by Zhou Hao Shijie for the lord of Pingyuan, it is simply not as good as Fan Feng's Xinyang Palace. In the eyes of the Plains County Lord, this is actually just a sentence that can be finished.
However, Zhou Hao, who knew the lord of the plains, was also speechless, in the eyes of this aunt, unless you arrange it to be similar to the Great Zhou Palace, you can get praise, but who dares to arrange it to be similar to the palace, isn't this looking for death, unless he has the strength to confront the entire royal family.
Senior sister (because Li Shijie also worships the broken sword as a teacher) Zhou Hao, now that you are in Tokyo City, I also want to talk to you about something, I hope you will pay attention to it.
The last sentence Li Shijie said to Zhou Hao, after all, he also knew the temperament of the county lord of the plains, and what these words said to her was the result of the left ear in and the right ear out.
This aunt has never been afraid of anyone, after all, as the emperor's favorite daughter, who dares not to give her face in the capital.
Along the way, Li Shijie is counted, and now this aunt can only hear Zhou Hao's words.
Try not to leave the palace during the period before the martial arts tournament begins, because my time in Tokyo City is too short, and I have not yet fully controlled the entire Tokyo City.
Zhou Hao said with a question: "Does Lord Cheng Shou mean that someone will be unfavorable to us?"
Li Shijie smiled and said: Don't call me Lord City Guard, if Brother Hao doesn't dislike it, just call me Brother Shijie.
Then Zhou Hao knew it.
I only heard Li Shijie continue: Actually, it is not aimed at you, but at the junior sister.
Against me, the plain county lord looked at Shijie with disbelief, as if he had serious doubts about Li Shijie's words.
That's right, they're targeting you, Li Shijie said as he strolled down the hall.
Then Li Shijie told the reason in front of Zhou Hao and the county lord of Pingyuan, which was similar to the reason that Zhou Hao guessed.
The previous martial arts conferences are actually the congresses of the dynasty to select those with excellent cultivation talent and strength.
The top twelve in the martial arts conference will be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor and serve the dynasty, even if most of the top twelve in the past do not serve the dynasty, but each time the remaining number of people who serve the dynasty plus countless accumulations is also a terrifying accumulation.
As a high-level official in Tokyo, you can get a lot of benefits. For example, those who didn't make it to the top 12, even though they didn't make it to the top 12,
But the top 100 people can enter the top 100 among so many young generations in the country, which also means that they are all the leaders of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even if there are many people who fail to enter the top 100, they can be said to be people who will make great achievements in the future, after all, the age limit for those who participate in the martial arts conference is too relaxed, and the rules of the martial arts conference are that anyone under the age of 30 can participate.
So even if some people are not at the top of the rankings, it doesn't mean that others are not good.
For example, if you compare a 29-year-old Faqi period powerhouse with a 19-year-old Faqi period powerhouse, although the people are similar, you must know that the former one has cultivated for ten years more than the latter, which shows what kind of talent the latter is?
That's it, so this martial arts conference is not only a competition ranking for the younger generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also has many benefits, such as the Li Shijie in front of him.
Zhou Hao believes that Li Shijie's family sent him here to serve as a city guard, not only because of his experience, but also because he definitely has the aspect of recruiting talents.
You know, why send him here if it's just an experience. And this is also the reason why the army is so hostile to Li Shijie, even if Li Shijie has a lot of family background.
If you want to choose one side for the grievances between Li Shijie and Dian Jun, Zhou Hao is still more Shijie,
After all, in addition to Li Shijie not despised him from the beginning, there is also a person who has a great appetite for him.
It's not the kind of person with that status, although there is a reason for the county lord of the plains, but Zhou Hao is sincere in his eyes, whether this sincerity is pretended or not, but it's good now, isn't it?
Okay, why are you so careful, I don't believe that they dare to kill this palace, this palace wants to see who dares to be so bold and dare to face this palace. The impatient voice of the plain county lord sounded in the ears of Zhou Hao and Li Shijie.
Zhou Hao and Li Shijie looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "County Lord, although they don't dare to kill you, it is completely possible to let you get injured and let you lie in bed for a month, and then Your Majesty's intention to let you organize this martial arts conference will be in vain."
After hearing this, the county lord of the plains stopped talking, after all, she was not stupid, and what she said just now was just according to her own temper. She didn't want to add a few scars to her body.
The purpose of Li Shijie's trip has been achieved, and he will bid farewell to Zhou Hao.
After Li Shijie walked out, the lord of Pingyuan County said angrily: This Li Shijie is not a good person now, he used to think he was good when he was in the capital, but today he feels that he was completely wrong before.
Zhou Hao took the county lord's little hand, pressed her on the chair, scratched her nose with his hand, and said with a smile: I didn't expect our little county lord to know how to distinguish between good people and bad people. Haha, Zhou Hao, who finished speaking, couldn't help laughing.
Hmph! The county lord of the plains slapped off Zhou Hao's claws, and said with a red face: He is not a good person in the first place, didn't he come today to tell us that the pawn army is not a good person, and he wants to kill us and let us form an alliance with them.
Hehe, Zhou Hao smiled and said: Actually, this is understandable, this Li Shijie has been in Tokyo City for a few months,
But if you behave at the gate at noon, you know that he is not doing well in the city of Tokyo.
It stands to reason that he should have come to greet us with all the officials of the whole city of Tokyo, but how many officials did you come to the city gate at noon? Not even half of them, which means that the other half or more officials are on the opposite side of him, that is, on the side of the pawn.
You must know that there is still more than a month before the start of the martial arts conference, if he has not mastered more than half of the officials in Tokyo City by the beginning of the martial arts conference, then the martial arts conference will have nothing to do with him. Do you think he can not be in a hurry now?
I think that's why he came in a hurry as soon as we arrived, and I think he had been waiting for us to come, otherwise he wouldn't have put men at the gates of the city to wait for us.
Zhou Hao is interested in where to analyze it, but the lord of the plains is not a master who can endure his temperament.
You men have so many thoughts, Father is like this, Master is like this, and now I find that even you and Li Shijie are like this. It's boring to death.
Zhou Hao, you go out for a walk with me, I just arrived in Tokyo City and I want to go out for a walk.
Zhou Hao thought about it, even if the army wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't be today, after all, he was not Li Shijie, he didn't know when the county lord would arrive, even if he had to deal with himself and others, it would be too late today, now it would be good to accompany the county lord to go out for a walk, after all, this is not in the capital and Xinyang City, if you go out to shop with the county lord in Xinyang and the capital, who knows if you will be under the emperor's eyes.
And I haven't accompanied the county lord to go shopping once, so it's a good choice to go out with this little girl today, isn't it!
As soon as the plain county lord went to the street to plant strange things, he shouted and screamed, and this hao shook his head for a while, after all, the county lord was just a teenage girl.
And just when the plain county lord was shouting, there was a burly middle-aged man in the Dianjun Mansion far away from Zhou Hao, and dozens of people with gloomy eyes asked: What do you say, now there is actually a county lord.
The people below hesitated one by one, after all, criticizing the county lord is like criticizing the royal family, and if it is known by His Majesty, it is not a small crime.
The man in the face of the army was angry with such an expression.
Why, usually you are arrogant one by one, no one pays attention to it, why are you dumb now, isn't it just a county lord, all of you are your own people here, what are you afraid of.
The boss of the people below was angry, and he didn't dare to be dumb anymore.
Finally, an old man-like person walked out and said hesitantly: His Royal Highness the county lord may be here just to show his attention to the martial arts conference, you must know that the top twelve of the previous martial arts conferences have not served the dynasty, not even two-fifths, I think Your Majesty may want to attract more people to join the imperial service in place through the royal family's attention to the martial arts conference.
After hearing this, some of the people below all nodded and said to the Dian Jun: Lord Dian Jun, Lord Wei is reasonable, this may just be in order for His Majesty to serve more people for the dynasty, and there is no other meaning, after all, if there is any great significance, it will not only send a teenage county lord to come.
Dian Jun also felt justified when he heard this, so he decided not to pay attention to the plain county lord anymore, after all, in the eyes of Dian Jun, the two people who came were just teenagers, what was there to be afraid of.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in the crowd hesitated before he stood up and said to Dian Jun: My lord, I just got a piece of news, and I don't know if it's bad news.
Oh, what's the news? Coming soon.
I only heard this middle-aged man say: Just now, the person from the lower official told the lower official a piece of news, saying that the lord of the city guard introduced the plain county lord into the county lord's palace and stayed in it for about an hour before coming out.
And when Xia Guan investigated Li Shijie's family history some time ago, he got news that Li Shijie's family background seems to be from Beijing, but there are only two families in the capital surnamed Li who can be ranked in the upper row.
When Dian Jun heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: Then who is Li Shijie, and what is his family background?
Which official reasoned out before saying: According to the speculation of the lower officials, it should be the Li family of King Wu of Zhou.
The Li family, King Wu of Zhou, was stunned when he heard this, who didn't know King Wu of Zhou in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, that was a figure above 10,000 people under one person in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
King Wu of Zhou commanded the army of the whole country, so to speak, King Wu of Zhou was the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Great Zhou.
Now the army didn't slow down for a long time when he heard the news, after all, King Wu of Zhou's deterrent power in the entire Great Zhou was too great, it can be said that as long as you offend King Wu of Zhou in the Great Zhou, then you don't want to stay in the Great Zhou.
Just when the psychology of the army was slowly sinking, an official below stood up and retorted to the official just now: Then how do you conclude that Li Shijie is the Li family of King Wu of Zhou, why is it not another Li family?
Dian Jun also reacted when he heard it, yes, how can you be sure that it is the Li family of King Wu of Zhou? How could it not be another family?
The middle-aged official did not panic with a suspicious look, but said to the pawn army slowly: "My lord, the next thing is another news I want to say.
I don't know if adults have heard of the four young people in the capital?
The four young people in the capital? This official should have heard that the children of the royal family said that the second child of the Ji family, Ji Wen, the third young man of the Yang family, Yang Qing, and the eldest of the Li family.
Does it have anything to do with that, though?
The official said: Do you know who the boss of the Li family is?
After asking, the soldier was stunned and waited for the official's next step.
The official continued: The fourth of the four young is Li Shijie, the boss of the Li family.
And this Li family is the Li family of King Wu of Zhou, do you think there will be two Li Shijie in the capital?
