How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Before Xie Chengze ordered Wu Ji to show up, Wu Ji met the boss first.

It is said that the night before, after Wu Ji "exchanged" with the bandits, he successfully sneaked into Qianjin Village and became a member with his "not bad" martial arts. In the evening, in order to celebrate the second in command's upcoming marriage, Wu Ji was pulled to drink together, and then he met the first in command.

The boss rubbed his eyes and thought he was seeing things at first. It was not until Wu Ji covered his face and tried to leave that he confirmed that this was his junior fellow apprentice.

Only his two junior fellow apprentices would be so shy to see him!

He excitedly stepped forward to stop Wuji, "Fourth Junior Brother?! Why are you here? Could it be that you can't make it anymore and came to me for help?"

Upon hearing this, all the bandits in Qianjin Village immediately turned around and looked at Wuji. Even the second in command dropped the jar of wine in his hand, making a shattering sound.

Fourth Junior Brother?!

Is he the fourth junior brother who is said to be ferocious, deadly, and can kill with one blow, whose narrowed eyes and smile can cause blood to spread thousands of miles away, and whose strong legs can strangle a tiger? !

They had always thought that the other party must be like the big boss, with a mighty and tall figure, a rough and majestic face, and just standing there would make people bow down to him...

But what's up with this pretty boy with a delicate face, skinny arms and legs?

Not even as rough as these bandits!

Everyone just felt that something was broken invisibly.

"Big, big brother!" The second in command staggered back a step, saying in disbelief, "Is he really your fourth junior brother?"

"Of course, it's genuine!" The big boss happily stretched out his strong arms and lifted Wu Ji up like a doll, looking at him carefully, "Fourth Junior Brother, long time no see! Where's Third Junior Brother? Is he here too? Hurry and ask him to come out and give me a hug!"

Wu Ji rubbed his brows helplessly, thankful that the Second Prince was not present at this time, so he would not see his embarrassment at the moment. He pried open the hands of the eldest master, and after they fell to the ground, he said, "I came here in secret, but how come you, Senior Brother, have become a bandit?"

"Well, this is a long story..."

The big boss told Wu Ji about the past events one by one. He was very happy to see his fourth apprentice brother, and the brothers in the whole village were happy too. They drank together and asked Wu Ji all kinds of questions.

He asked whether the third junior brother was as mighty and majestic as the boss, whether the eldest senior sister was as beautiful as the boss boasted, and whether the second prince was as weak as the boss said, who could die by sitting on his butt.

Only the second in command was broken.

Although he was not smart, he was not stupid either. He had heard that his eldest brother's senior sister was extremely beautiful and the only imperial concubine in the dynasty. Her son was of noble status and beautiful as a fairy, and was closely protected by his two junior brothers.

So he immediately understood that the beautiful and sickly lady was not a merchant's wife at all, but the son of the current emperor - the Second Prince!

Woohoo, his new wife...

He is such a big wife, and he’s gone!

So, the next day, when Xie Chengze woke up, he met the resentful and red eyes of the second in command. He smelled of alcohol, and one could imagine how much he had drunk.

Xie Chengze silently pulled the quilt and huddled into bed.

Why are you looking at him like that? As if a good young wife is being forced?

Seeing his actions, the second in command leaned on the edge of the kang bed and couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

The other party's eyes and tone were so resentful that Xie Chengze couldn't help but feel a little guilty, thinking to himself: Was he discovered meeting Shen Yuan last night?

But the second in command didn't seem angry... Was he very generous and didn't mind, or was it because he was too handsome and they couldn't bear to be angry with him?

No, no, no, definitely not.

Xie Chengze shook his head, denying this hypothesis, and began to speculate, could it be that the second in command was implying that he was occupying the kang alone and was not allowed to sleep on it?

He was just thinking about it, but unexpectedly, the second in command at the side saw him shaking his head to deny it "righteously", and his eyes suddenly became more resentful.

What a heartless person!

He broke the heart of a young, young man, and his conscience didn't even hurt!

Officials are really not good people! The emperor and the prince are even worse!

The second in command couldn't help but howl outside the door and complain, "Brother! Look at him!"

"Is my nephew awake?"

A tiger-like roaring voice was heard in the house first. The eldest boss bent down and walked into the door. When he saw Xie Chengze waking up, his eyes suddenly lit up. "I was wondering why you looked familiar, but you were wearing a veil at the time, so I couldn't see clearly, and my eyesight isn't very good."

The eldest master sat down on the kang, moved closer to Xie Chengze, squinted his eyes and took a good look at him, nodding his head, "Really? Yes, he is indeed my senior sister's son."

I didn’t recognize him until I was so close… Xie Chengze couldn’t help but ask, “Are you shortsighted?”

"What is myopia?" the boss asked puzzledly.

"It means that things far away are blurry. Oh, you should call it short-sightedness here."

The eldest master nodded immediately, "Master did say that this is short-sightedness and fear of the future, and there is no cure."

After saying that, the big slap couldn't help but pinch Xie Chengze's thin arm, and sighed, "Alas, although my nephew has grown taller, he is still weak and fragile. Just looking at him can..."

"I can die sitting on my butt. Is this what you want to say?" Xie Chengze held his head and shook it, with a bitter smile on his face. "My nephew has no choice. Now my life is coming to an end. I am very happy and satisfied to see my uncle before I die..."

"What?!" The eldest boss was shocked. "Is my nephew really sick?! Is he sick like your dead father? Damn it, my eldest sister is good in every way except that she is blind. The men she likes are either sick or cowards!"

"Ahem, yeah..." Xie Chengze coughed a few times. He was shocked and agreed with the boss's scolding of Emperor Jian as a coward. He glanced at Shen Yuan who was leaning against the door. After exchanging glances, he coughed and covered his lips, looking lonely and said, "It's a pity that my nephew still has a wish in his heart that has not been fulfilled..."

"Nephew! God is blind! My sister is gone, why don't you even let her only offspring go!" The eldest master burst into tears and hugged Xie Chengze tightly in his arms, saying angrily, "You said! Even if my uncle risks his life, he will help my nephew fulfill his last wish!"

"Master, Master, I'm about to be strangled to death..." Xie Chengze finally broke free, took a breath, and then said faintly, "My nephew wants a three-meter-high ice sculpture, carved into his own image..."

"Ice sculpture?" The first boss scratched his head and looked at the second boss and Shen Yuan for help. "What is an ice sculpture?"

The second in command shook his head blankly. Shen Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Wood sculptures are carved from wood, stone sculptures are carved from stone. Could it be that this ice sculpture is carved from ice?"

Xie Chengze nodded. As expected of the man he liked, he understood immediately!
