Can I get to the other side?

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Liu Xie stood up and looked at the door.

I saw Yuan Shao and Jushou arriving at some unknown time, so they opened the door and walked in.

"Book……"

Liu Xie subconsciously wanted to assume the identity of the emperor, but before he could say anything, he noticed something was wrong.

Yuan Shao came with Ju Shou, and he did not knock on the door before entering the house, but opened the door directly and entered. This is not in line with the etiquette of a courtier towards the emperor.

In other words... Yuan Shao already knew that he was fake!

Realizing this, Liu Xie no longer hesitated, immediately stood up from the bed, saluted Yuan Shao respectfully and said, "The common people have seen Jizhou Mu."

Looking at Liu Xie with a respectful attitude, Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows.

Even Jushou was stunned for a moment.

How come this kid... reacts so quickly?

Before, outside the Yuan Mansion, he acted like an emperor, and everyone was mine, but now he calls himself a commoner.

Yuan Shao didn't speak, but looked at Liu Xie carefully.

At this time, Liu Xie had been cleaned and put on a black brocade robe. He changed his beggar-like appearance before and looked like a new person. He looked handsome and noble.

"It's exactly the same."

After observing for a while, Yuan Shao had to admit in his heart that the impostor in front of him did look exactly like the real emperor; except for his face, which looked a little pale and thin, the rest of his features, appearance and figure were exactly the same.

He was no different from the emperor in his memory.

All he needs is a dragon robe and a crown.

After watching for a moment, Yuan Shao withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "It's a good thing that you can recognize your identity."

"But only the three of us can know about pretending to be the emperor. From now on, you will be the emperor in front of outsiders, and your secret must not be revealed. Do you remember?"

Although Yuan Shao's tone was calm, it was full of unquestionable majesty.

"Remember!"

Liu Xie stood up straight and said impassionedly: "From now on, the common people will listen to you! If you ask me to go east, I will never go west! I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

"The common people have been wandering around for half their lives, and they have never met the Ming Lord."

"Being able to do things for your Majesty is a blessing for ordinary people!"

Liu Xie came up with a lot of flattery.

The so-called flattery cannot be worn even if it is worn by thousands of people. Facing this boss Yuan, the most powerful person in the world, Liu Xie does not dare to hold back at all.

He is just a hard-working time traveler who is precarious. He has no golden fingers or any wall-mounting system. He relies solely on his face to make a living. If he makes boss Yuan unhappy, he may lose his life at some point.

The prerequisite for dignity and face is to live first.

A real man, capable of bending and stretching!

Yuan Shao originally wanted to continue beating Liu Xie, but Liu Xie was so obedient, which saved him a lot of effort.

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as you understand, do your job well and I won't treat you badly."

When he heard this, Liu Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked a little embarrassedly: "Then... I dare to ask the envoy, how much money can I get after the matter is finished?"

"Money? Money is nothing."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh, "As long as you obey, I will ensure that you live a lifetime of prosperity, wealth, houses, fields, beauties, gold, silver and jewelry, everything you need!"

Liu Xie was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with great excitement: "Thank you so much, envoy! The common people will definitely be furious for you!"

Seeing Liu Xie's excitement, Yuan Shao had a flash of contempt in his eyes, but he still had a smile on his face and patted him on the shoulder.

"You should rest first. If you claim to be sick these days, don't show up. I will arrange for you to learn the emperor's etiquette. You must learn them all."

"Gongyu, let's go."

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he stood up and left with Ju Shou.

Liu Xie escorted the two of them out of the courtyard until their figures disappeared around the corner, then returned to the room.

After closing the door, Liu Xie lay down on the bed tiredly and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Is this considered a deal-breaker..."

Having just faced Yuan Shao, he was really stressed out. Not only was he afraid of losing his life, he was also afraid of arousing boss Yuan's suspicion.

That's why he acted like a coward, and even deliberately asked for money in the end, just to dispel Yuan Shao's suspicion and guard against him.

Because his identity is that of a refugee. As a refugee, if he doesn’t even want reward, then what does he want?

If Boss Yuan thinks he is a wealthy and thoughtful person, his life will be difficult in the future.

Therefore, he will actually play two roles in the future.

In front of outsiders, he has to act like the emperor, but in front of Boss Yuan, he has to continue to act like the money-grubbing and short-sighted refugee.

"It's not easy to survive in these troubled times."

Liu Xie murmured to himself and buried his head in the soft quilt.

Without the pressure of life and death, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed. The fatigue from the past few days came like a tide, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

…

The other side.

After Yuan Shao and Jushu left the courtyard, they headed all the way to the meeting hall.

"Gongyu, why do you look so worried? What's wrong?"

Yuan Shao suddenly asked and looked at Ju Shou.

Jushuo has been frowning ever since he left the yard, and it was obvious at a glance that he had something on his mind.

Jushou hesitated for a moment and then said: "My lord, I am thinking about this false emperor. I feel that... I need to strengthen my control over him."

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

Yuan Shao was somewhat puzzled and did not quite understand why Ju Shou suddenly said that.

Ju Shou replied: "This man imitated the emperor's behavior and manners before, and he imitated it vividly, but when he saw you, my lord, he immediately acted like a flatterer. The big change before and after is amazing."

If Liu Xie's imitation of the emperor was 90% similar at the beginning, which only surprised Ju Shou; then his transformation from entering Yecheng to facing Yuan Shao just now made Ju Shou feel quite horrified.

But after hearing what Ju Shou said, Yuan Shao laughed.

"You and I are overly worried. This man is just a lowly person. The villain is arrogant at first and respectful later. There is nothing to worry about."

Yuan Shao did not take Ju Shou's words to heart.

A guy who dares to ask for money even for reward, has no ambition and is short-sighted. What is there to worry about?

The most important thing is that Liu Xie is in his palm. If he wants, he can kill him at any time, which is not much more difficult than pinching an ant to death.

"But my lord..."

Ju Su wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Shao was no longer interested. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the hall to discuss matters first, and we'll talk later."

The two of them had already arrived outside the meeting hall.

Ju Su had no choice but to shut up and say no more.

He was worried that if he said too much about the fake emperor's faults, Yuan Shao's plan to use the emperor to control the princes would change.
