I’m The King

The courtyard is not big, but it is better than chic. The unique ingenuity of the Jiangnan Water Town is displayed in this small courtyard. A woman in a coarse cloth is washing her clothes while humming the slang of her hometown while leaving. Not far from her, Mao Wei stared at the girl, his eyes were a little red, and his lips opened and closed, and he seemed to be humming along.

The girl turned her head by accident and was surprised when she saw Mao Wei who was singing along, "My lord, how come you also sing our hometown slang?"

Mao Wei smiled bitterly: "Are you also from Tianhe County, why did you get to such a remote place in Chu State?"

The girl's face dimmed," A few years ago, the Qi people attacked Dayan and burned and looted him in Tianhe County. The little girl's father was also rich in his hometown, and took our family and fled all the way to Chu State. Jiangdong County, only then settled down."

"Since your family situation is pretty good, why would you come out to do these washing and cooking chores?" Mao Wei walked to the girl, squatted down, and asked curiously.

"Fleeing all the way, we ran out of our little money. We settled down here, no matter what kind of money. In the past two years, we have already been impoverished and destitute. A few days ago, we ran into a hurdle that we could not get through. , No way, I can only sell myself as a slave."

"Selling one's body as a slave?" Mao Wei said in surprise.

"Yes, my only brother committed a crime in Jiangdong County. In order to save him, he needs a large amount of silver. Pity us now poor and small households. There are so many silvers there. Fortunately, the sky is inexhaustible. At this time someone came to the door and was willing to buy me to be a girl, and the family sold me."

"How can there be such cruel parents!" Mao Wei said angrily.

"The adult was wrong. It was not that my parents were cruel, but I volunteered. If our siblings can only survive one, then of course I am willing to be the younger brother. He is the only boy in our family. Besides, I am not doing it now. Is it good? Adults are also very good to me." The woman said with a smile, "At the beginning, what I was most worried about was that the person who bought me would sell me to the building. I thought and thought about it all the way, but I didn’t think so. Possibly, those people gave my father five hundred taels of silver. As I look like this, I can't do chess, piano, calligraphy or painting. Even if I sell me to the brothel, how can I sell back the capital!"

Seeing the woman's smiling face, Mao Wei laughed bitterly, and those who kidnapped him were really willing to work hard.

"I am not an adult, I am just one of their prisoners!"

"My lord is joking, where is there a prisoner like you? I can watch these days. There are many guards in and outside the courtyard, as well as the adults' daily meals. They are all exquisite. If this is a prisoner, I can I am willing to be such a prisoner every day." The girl laughed.

"There are things you don't know. It's possible that my prisoner has something special!" Mao Wei stood up: "The people who bought you, the ones who arrested me, really took great pains."

``For you, Mr. Mao, it's worth the extra effort!'' There was a voice at the courtyard door. Mao Wei turned his head and saw the old man that disgusted him, snorted, turned and walked into the house.

The girl quickly stood up, wiped her hand on her skirt, and bent over for a blessing: "Sir."

"Well, you are doing very well, Mingtai, let's send five hundred taels of silver to this girl's house. Your name is Aping, right?" Zhong Li said, looking at the girl with a smile.

"Yes, my lord!" Mingtai respectfully agreed behind Zhongli.

"Thank you, old man!" Aping was surprised and delighted.

Zhong Li laughed, "Also, what happened to Ah Ping's younger brother, please go to ask, and smooth out what he committed, so that you don't know who you gave the money in the end. in."

"My lord, don't worry, I'll do it right away."

Listening to Zhong Li's words, Ah Ping was surprised and delighted but a little unbelievable, "My eldest brother, my brother fought with someone and beat him to death by mistake."

"Don't say it's a mistake, even if he killed someone on purpose, I can smooth it out!" Zhong Li said indifferently, pointing to the yard where they were. "Do you know where this is?"

"I don't know!" Aping shook her head and said, when she came in, she was brought in through a corner door, only knowing that this place is very big and big.

"This is the prefectural mansion of Jiangdong County. It is the place where the largest official of Chu State lives in Jiangdong. Can you smooth out that little thing about your brother?"

"Thank you, old man!" Ah Ping Portoo knelt down. Knocking his head again and again. "A Ping wished the old man all the best for all generations, and Ah Ping is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the old man's kindness."

Zhong Li laughed and said: "You don't need to be a cow or a horse. You just have to wait for Mr. Mao in the house. Well, when you are fine, chat with him more and tell him more about the short things of the parents."

"Yes, sir, don't worry, Mr. Mao is also an excellent person."

"Of course, he is an excellent person." Zhong Li smiled and walked into the house.

Mao Wei sat there with his back to the door, staring at the goldfishes shaking their heads and tails in the slowly forward stream outside the window.

"Mr. Mao's complexion looks much better!" Zhong Li smiled and sat next to him, "Is his body better?"

"You don't have to work so hard, I won't promise you, it's better to kill me as soon as possible." Mao Wei said in a low and authentic voice.

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows.He keenly observed that when Mao Wei was saying these words, the corner of his eyes jumped slightly, and his eyes turned to Aping, who just happened to be holding the basin and walking by the water.

"It's actually very easy to kill a person!" Zhong Li said: "Like the girl who just walked past, anyone in this yard can kill her with a single palm, but wants to make a person truly effective , It would be much harder, but now this girl is willing to do anything for us, because I just saved her family."

"Mingtai, go and kill this girl!" Zhong Li replied.

"Hold on!" Mao Wei turned his head in surprise and anger. "You just told her so much, how can you kill her again in a blink of an eye, and she won't be able to survive anymore."

Zhong Li spread his hands, "Because Mr. Mao, you are begging to die. This girl was originally bought by us to serve you. If you die, what is the use of keeping her, let alone she knows so many things about us, you think we Will the Black Ice Platform keep her?"

Mao Wei gasped and stared at Zhong Li, "You are a devil."

Zhong Li laughed, "I can't tell, Mr. Mao is still a passionate seed. I haven't spent a few days with this Ah Ping, but I can also understand that I am a stranger in the same country. Forget Mr. Mao, don't follow You're kidding, although I Zhong Li did some dark business, he was not a killer. Let's talk about serious things. Which attack happened half a month ago, I think Mr. Mao must have guessed who it was. Do it?"

Mao Wei turned his head and said nothing.

"Monitoring Institute, you are the secret institution of the Great Han Kingdom that you want to work for. I don't say, Mr. Mao can guess it, right?" Zhong Li smiled and said: "Mr. Mao personally experienced the battle that day, do you think Are they here to save you or are they here to kill you?"

Mao Wei lowered his head in pain.

"It seems that Mr. Mao is also a sensible person. Of course, Mr. Mao is a high-achieving student at Jicheng University. Naturally, he can think clearly about the joints here. They are here to kill you, because they know very well that even if you take Mr. Mao away. They can’t bring it back. The best way is to pay for it. Mr. Mao, in order to protect you, someone in my Zhong broke more than fifty masters, and the elite I brought out were almost swept away that day. And Kong, they even used explosives. This is Mr. Mao's specialty. This stuff shouldn't be much in the Dahan Kingdom now. In order to kill you, even such a big killer is used, I But I didn’t expect it.” Zhong Li smiled: “But the more this happens, the happier I am, because this proves the value of Mr. Mao from one side. It allows Yi Bin, the vice president of the Supervision Institute, to take the risk and personally take the action team Those who came to do it, I killed dozens of people but saved Mr. Mao's life. It was worth it."

"Even if they want to kill me, it's because you kidnapped me first. I won't listen to you and work for you," Mao Wei muttered.

Zhong Li remained calm, "Mr. Mao, you are not irreplaceable in the Great Han Kingdom, are you? You are just one of their many talents in this field. Maybe you are better than most of them, but you Is it comparable to the dean of the Yizhen Research Institute? But when you arrive in Daqin, we are absolutely different, because you are the only one. At this point, I think Mr. Mao should understand that Qingyuan is just a wild Taoist priest. Just rely on the research of explosives, in one fell swoop, Mr. Mao, you now also master this skill, you have reached the height of Qingyuan in our Daqin, it is easy. Why not? People live forever, the grass and trees are in autumn, is it Mao? A talent like your sir is willing to die with the help of namelessness, burying corpses in the wilderness, no one cares?"

Mao Wei suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhong Li, and screamed: "Even if I surrender to you and help you do things, how can it be of any use? You Daqin will eventually be annihilated by the Great Han, explosives, hehe, you think you can have explosives. Do you fight against Dahan? What do you know? Wang Shang Yizhen Institute personally told us that explosives are just the most primitive weapons. Dahan has already begun to study more powerful weapons. As far as I know, it is close to success. After all, the kingdom of Qin will be annihilated by the great Han. Even if I can hold it for a few days when your Qin kingdom is sealed, I will still die.

Zhong Chengqi jumped his head, and Mao Wei accidentally revealed another extremely confidential information. He calmly said: "The so-called more powerful weapon is just an upgraded version of this explosive, Mr. Mao, any Everything is difficult at the beginning. We have explosives, and we can naturally develop more weapons on his basis. This is not a problem. Great Qin has established a country for hundreds of years, and there are countless skilled craftsmen in China. As you say, I don't believe that the great Han can destroy Qin, so I might as well tell you that the great Han army you are proud of was just defeated by the Chu army. The entire group of tens of thousands of people is now surrounded, and the destruction is only a matter of time. Can defeat them, let alone our Qin country?" (to be continued)
