Chapter 20 Talent

"Young Master, I really didn't expect that Dongyi, where Emperor Cheng, who was the legendary princes, lived in such a way, is far inferior to our Jili and the Shiyu New City under construction, and this inn, I don't know how long it has been since I lived in it."

"Yes, yes." Dong Shi, who had already parked the airship in the inn, looked at the courtyard full of weeds and the eaves covered with spider webs nodded repeatedly.

Zhang De shook his head and said, "Young Master said nothing. Shut up whatever you say. This time, the young master came to Dongyi to do business. No matter how dilapidated the family, he is still the nominal communist of the world. He still needs to be granted the title of monarch."

The warriors stopped talking immediately. Zhang De immediately saw Wang Yue looking at him with admiration, and felt as if he had eaten honey in his heart.

At dusk, Wang Yue and his group were placed in the inn and no one was seen again. Finally, people were sent to the room.

Under the leadership of an official who was about thirty years old and could still be called young, a large group of people came, entered the inn and started cleaning the courtyard, and temporarily replaced some dilapidated furniture in the house.

"Young Master, I haven't seen any visitors in Dongyi for a long time. Most of the inns are abandoned and no one is in charge of the work for a long time. I became a doctor in the office, Yu Ziqi, and I temporarily served as the landlord here. But if you have anything to do, you can greet me. I have prepared a banquet in other places. I will send someone to deliver it later. Please wait for the young master."

"Then I'll be in trouble." Wang Yue bowed his hand and felt that the name sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard Shen Dao say it, and said, "Your name is Yu Ziqi? Could it be that Yu Ziqi, who used to induce Chen to send troops to suppress Jing Dao, so that Jing Dao dared not go north to invade Shangyang Dao?"

Wang Yue said three years ago.

Since the last time, Jing and Cai were defeated in the battle between Shen Nannanbi, the national strength was greatly damaged. After resting and recuperating for nearly 20 years, there has been no major move. Until a few years ago, I finally felt that there was some strength at hand, and I felt that the six internal secrets of Chen Guo were in conflict, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of each other, so I wanted to find Chen Guo to fight back first.

However, Chen State is powerful and the people attach importance to glory. Jing State is afraid of directly attacking Chen State's territory. The six ministers must unite. If they stabbed the hornet's nest, it would be difficult to deal with it. They would not attack their homeland. They found an excuse to send troops to Shangyang, a vassal of the Chen Alliance, which was sandwiched between the two countries.

At that time, the six Qings in Chen State had already had an obvious battle. Under mutual restraint, no one could easily draw out their strength, let alone go south to fight with Jing State, so they sat down and watched the invasion of the Jing State on Shangyang State, and Shangyang almost destroyed the country in this battle.

Finally, Yu Ziqi personally went to Chen State to lobby for the six ministers of Chen State. He didn't know what he said, but the six ministers moved together, and each sent troops to gather troops from the west bordering Jing State to make a move south. The Jing State was so scared that it retreated repeatedly, thus protecting the fate of Shangyang State.

Yu Ziqi became famous all over the world, and his influence in Cheng Shi was slightly greater.

Seeing Wang Yue surprised, Yu Ziqi had no slut on his face and said, "It's just borrowing Chen Wei, so I can't really count."

"It's Mr. Snake Yu, in less than a year, first defeated the Black Hu, and then killed the Dragon Chaohu God. He was the commander of the Huai coalition army. He led three thousand soldiers to support Shen, defeated Cai, and rescued Shen. The two countries on the edge of the country, and even recovered the lost lands of hundreds of years in Huai. Now, he has to repeat the country of Snake Yu in Jidi."

"This is a great success and honor, all of which are admirable."

"For hundreds of years, the office that destroyed the family and the country was unknown. Only the young master could restore the country. What's even more rare is that the young master still remembers that I became a house. The tribute gift some time ago helped me get into a house.

"Yu Ziqi thanked the prince on behalf of the emperor."

As he said that, Yu Ziqi delivered a great gift to Wang Yue. Wang Yue hurriedly held it. Yu Ziqi sighed: "I have heard from Lord Nan Zhong that the purpose of the young master's visit is also said. According to the truth, Cheng Shi really should not accept the grand gift from the young master, but now when the young master came, I have seen it, and Cheng Shi can only be ashamed to receive it."

"I have already arranged it for the young master to read the collection of books. I will go there after meeting the emperor tomorrow."

Wang Yue thanked him immediately, and then let Yu Zi arrange it.

Soon the courtyard was cleaned up, weeds were removed, spider webs were cleaned up, and the houses were cleaned up in various ways, and they looked decent, at least they could live in. Later, several cases were carried over and placed in the inn reception hall. The servants successively presented food and wine.

Wang Yue could see that Yu Ziqi tried his best to entertain him, the young master who could come to Chengshi for any purpose, but unfortunately, the late meal was still very simple, and there was no way to do so. Chengshi's financial situation was really worrying.

Even the king has forced him to hide from his debts, what else can he do?

What did Yu Ziqi take out?

Some of them are probably old wines in the bottom of the box in the room. They hunt and get the dried and marinated venison and rabbit meat, and some rice brought by merchants from the south of Jingguo, plus some unspeakable tea, so they can make a living.

Wang Yue is not picky about this, he can eat it.

Looking at the things on the table, Yu Ziqi himself was not very satisfied.

He shook his head and asked the waiter to fill a glass of water and wine, and toast Wang Yue first: "I'm really embarrassed to be inexperienced."

Wang Yue held the pottery cup and took a sip. Fortunately, the wine was mixed with water. Although it tasted strange, it could still be eaten. Then he drank it all over and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is wine, meat and rice, and it can be regarded as rich. When I was a child, I wanted to use it so rich that I had to eat at the end of the year and at the beginning of the year."

"The world only says that Young Master Yu is young Yingrui, but I don't know that Young Master is still so embarrassed." Yu Ziqi sighed, and drank it in one gulp, frowned slightly. It was obvious that he was so terrified that he could not help but blush.

"It is good for those who destroy the country and the family to continue." Wang Yue put down his wine glass and said, "Besides, it's better to suffer more when I was young. My family of Sheyu has a family precept. Only by enduring hardships can you become the best. I can have today and lose the forging of hardships in my youth."

"It's a good thing to say that you can be the best person if you endure hardships." Yu Ziqi praised loudly: "No wonder the young master has achieved this."

Wang Yue smiled and signaled Zhang De a little while to the side. Zhang De immediately went to the airship in the courtyard outside the house and brought some items over.

"I thank Mr. Yu for the hospitality tonight. Wang Yue also prepared some gifts and thanked him." Wang Yue raised his hand and Zhang De quickly walked to Yu Ziqi's side opposite and presented his bag containing the objects to Yu Ziqi.

"Young Master Snake Yu is so polite."

Yu Ziqi pushed forward and said, "It is my duty to entertain the young master today. How can I be the young master be a gift? I also asked the young master to take it back. Besides, today's wine and the like are really a bit bad, alas!"

Wang Yue looked at the waiter beside him, and Zhang De knew how to hand over the gift to Yu Ziqi's entourage.

"This is not allowed, it is not allowed." Yu Ziqi immediately stood up, but his followers winked at him.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "This is a guest meeting ceremony for a friend's house. If Mr. Yu doesn't want to make me a friend, Wang Yue can only regret it."

Yu Ziqi couldn't do it, so he had to respond, but his follower slightly opened his bag and told him to see the things inside, and he was immediately shocked.

There were crystal beads with glass beads with the size of eyeballs, and a very exquisite crystal bottle, which contained some colorless and transparent liquids that he didn't know what it was. He had seen the world, and when he saw it, it was valuable, he was about to refuse, but Wang Yue said: "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. Since the gentleman is accepting this, please deal with it by himself."

Yu Ziqi sighed slightly.

However, he was a very smart person. He knew Wang Yue's etiquette, mostly because he knew his name and valued his intention to recruit him.

This is not the first time he has encountered such a thing, but he has never been able to give such a generous gift like Wang Yue.

However, the Yu family has served in Chengshi for generations, and Dongyi is the place where he grows. Now, with them, they can barely maintain it. If even he leaves, Chengshi will not only have no hope, but may not even be able to maintain it. Before the external crisis can collapse.

At this time, although he was moved in his heart, he could only refuse. However, he had accepted all such great gifts, so how should he refuse?

After thinking for a long time, he showed a hint of reluctance on his face, but he still made up his mind and said, "Young Master is such a great gift for the guests. Zi Qi is the master, so he should return it with courtesy." As he said, he whispered a few words to the follower who seemed very close to him. The follower's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Sir, this must not be done." Yu Ziqi said, "Are you going to make me rude in front of this young master? Why don't you go quickly?"
