Chapter 162 An ant may shake a tree
"When I met him half a year ago, he was traveling around with his wife. At that time, he also said that he planned to open the world's largest restaurant in Xianyang, and invited me to be his shopkeeper."
Gao Yao squeezed two steps towards Yi Xiaochuan, looking at the majestic Xianyang City, his eyes were full of anticipation, "I'm just a cook in the real world, in this era I have to get addicted to being a 'God of Cooking' before going back Bar?"
Yi Xiaochuan is not interested in any restaurants or chefs. When he heard the news that Zhou Ji was married, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad premonition, and hurriedly asked, "When did Lao Zhou get married? Which girl did you marry?"
"When I saw him, he had been married for a few months, and I didn't know which girl he married." Gao Yao didn't notice Yi Xiaochuan's strange expression, and thought he was just curious and wanted to gossip After a week of silence, he pondered, "I only remember that he called one of his wives 'pheasant' and the other 'Susu'."
History changed!
Zhou Ji changed history!
Yi Xiaochuan's face was uncertain.
Gao Yao sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and smiled apologetically, "Ji Zhou is too outrageous this week. You said that everyone is a modern person anyway, so it's fine for him to get married, and marry two at once~ Isn't he afraid of committing bigamy?"
Yi Xiaochuan did not answer the call.
Ever since Zhou Ji was left speechless for the first time because of the bandits, he has realized the difference between himself and Zhou Ji, not only in concept, but also in skill, this kind of frustration that he is not as good as the other party It made him quite upset, he glanced at Gao Yao, and said unhappily, "Don't be insincere here, since he invited you to open a restaurant, then you can go to him."
Gao Yao asked weakly, "What about you?"
"Of course I'm going to find my elder brother." Yi Xiaochuan said with a smile: "I heard that corvees from all over the country will work in the prisons. As the head of the pavilion, Liu Bang will definitely lead the team. Maybe he has already entered the city."
Gao Yao smiled, put his face on Yi Xiaochuan's side, and said with a smile, "Old Zhou, it's not too late to go there later, can you take me to know Han Gaozu first?"
"Without."
"Take it with you~"
"Without."
"Take it with you~~"
After all, Gao Yao is not Zhou Ji, the two of them have known each other since modern times, because of Gao Lan's affection, Yi Xiaochuan finally couldn't stand Gao Yao's soft-heartedness, and finally had to take him into the city, Headed towards the office in the south of the city.
On the other side, Zhou Ji and Lu Zhisusu also entered the city.
Traveling on the way for more than half a year, not only Susu, but also Lu Zhi was physically and mentally exhausted. As soon as he entered the city gate, he clamored to find an inn to rest, and even lost the interest in shopping.
The inn can be used as a temporary stay, but after all, it is not a place to live for a long time. After Zhou Ji put the two sisters to sleep, he pulled out from the jade body, locked the door, and slipped into the street.
Unification of the Seven Kingdoms. At this time, the Qin State was at the peak of its national power, and the prosperity of Xianyang far surpassed all the counties and counties it passed along the way.
Zhou Ji found out that Chengzhong Yahang was located in Nanshi, so he went all the way south, intending to build a house in Xianyang City.
When he was passing near the office, he suddenly felt a familiar wave of mana coming from not far away. Pheasant and Susu were still resting in the inn, except for the two of them, Zhou Ji only left a streak of thunder in Gao Yao's hand , Now the mana is sensed, and the other party is around the prison if he wants to come.
At the same time, Liu Bang was also in great anxiety in a deserted courtyard not far from the government office.
He was ordered to **** the corvee to report to Xianyang for several months, but two people escaped on the way.
According to Qin Law's punishment, their group of twenty or so people had to sit together.
The small courtyard is not big, and it is full of laborers with sad faces.
One of them looked up at Liu Bang, and said anxiously, "Ting Zhang, have you figured out a solution? Tomorrow is the day of Dianmao. If the government finds out that we escaped two corvées, we will all have to beheaded."
"I know!"
How strict is the Qin law, how could Liu Bang not know?
Licking his chapped lips, Liu Bang said harshly, "If I were in Pei County, I would be able to gather two people, but this is Xianyang! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, where can I find someone to replace me!"
As soon as the voice fell, a familiar voice came from the door of the office next to him. He approached the door, and saw Yi Xiaochuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, leading a stranger who didn't look very bright to ask questions.
"Hey, may I ask if the corvée from Peixian County has come to the office to count his hair? They are from Peixian County, and the leader of the pavilion is Liu Bang."
Liu Bang stared straight at Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao, his eyes gradually turned from surprise to gloom, and finally covered the gloom under joy, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked quickly towards Yi Xiaochuan while shouting "Xiandi".
"Brother?!" Yi Xiaochuan looked back, and seeing the joy and tears in Liu Bang's eyes, he couldn't help showing a smile, stepped forward and hugged Liu Bang, and said happily, "Brother, I haven't seen you in half a year. Didn't you miss me?~"
"I think, of course I miss you!" Liu Bang let go of his arms, looked Yi Xiaochuan up and down, and complained slightly, "You left Peixian in a hurry that day, and you didn't let your elder brother give you a ride. Let’s meet each other and have a good drink at night.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Gao Yao who was next to him, and said doubtfully, "My dear brother, this dear friend is."
Yi Xiaochuan smiled and said, "This is me from my hometown, named Gao Yao."
Gao Yao pulled Yi Xiaochuan's clothes corner, pulled him aside and whispered, "This is the Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang you mentioned? Is it reliable? Why do you feel that he looks at us a bit strangely?"
"This is history, can it be unreliable?" Yi Xiaochuan glared at Gao Yao, and his voice raised a bit, "Don't say I won't take you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, allowing you to get in touch with Such a big man, you have to be smarter later, if you offend him, you won't be able to open any restaurants."
Gao Yao didn't understand what 'history' was at all, and he didn't realize the degree of Yi Xiaochuan's admiration for 'Han Gaozu'. After learning that the people from Beiyan Mountain could always stay in Qin State for a while when they went out to travel, Gao Yao's heart had long been disturbed. The "No. 1 Floor in the World" and "No. 1 Kitchen in the World" that Zhou Ji said were full, and now I followed Yi Xiaochuan to find Liu Bang just to see what this Han Gaozu looked like.
Worried about being heard by Liu Bang and the others, Yi Xiaochuan turned his head and glanced at Liu Bang. Liu Bang's gaze was like a frightened sparrow, and he quickly avoided it. Taking a look, I secretly made a decision in my heart.
After the two whispered, Gao Yao trotted back to Liu Bang, with a flattering smile on his face, reached out to hold Liu Bang's hand, and shook it vigorously.
"Brother Liu. Brother Liu, it's a great honor to meet you. I didn't expect Xiaochuan to have such a god-brother. If you become prosperous in the future, you must remember my name. My name is Gao Yao."
Liu Bang looked at Gao Yao almost kneeling and licking with a dazed expression. Before he could react, Yi Xiaochuan pulled Gao Yao behind him, pointed to his head, and said, "I'm sorry, I The fellow here is not very good, let the big brother laugh."
Gao Yao leaned behind Yi Xiaochuan, poked his head out from his shoulder, pointed to his nose, and nodded, "Gao Yao~I~Gao Yao~~"
The corners of Liu Bang's mouth twitched, his eyes became more and more satisfied the more he watched, he held Gao Yao with one hand, supported Xiao Chuan with the other, and said with a smile, "Brother Gao is innocent and innocent, but it's quite interesting, come on, come on together Come in and sit down, we'll have a drink tonight."
Zhou Ji listened to the conversation of several people by the corner wall of the courtyard, narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Yi Xiaochuan and Liu Bang who entered the courtyard, sighed that he had committed a crime, got up and went back to the inn.
After dinner, the two girls, who had slept for a long time during the day, were not sleepy at night. Zhou Ji could only accompany them until the middle of the night, and then he had time to sneak to the small courtyard where Liu Bang was, watching Liu Bang hesitate there, How to arrange these two 'God-given' scapegoats.
"Xiao Chuan has a cheerful personality and is kind enough to be a little sick. If he is left in the city as an official slave, maybe one day he will turn around. Since ancient times, those who went to build the Great Wall did not come back alive, so it is better to send him to The border, so that he will not turn around and seek revenge on me. '
There are only two places left.
Liu Bang picked up the brush and hung it on the bamboo slips, because he thought of the drunken words that Yi Xiaochuan's fellow villager said at the banquet.
Zhou Ji was going to open a restaurant in Xianyang, and invited him to be the shopkeeper. Although Liu Bang couldn't see anything special about this Tie Hanhan named Gao Yao, no matter whether he nailed his palms to the table with bamboo chopsticks, it was still inexplicable. Lost his voice and almost put on the label of treason, the name Zhou Ji has become a shadow in Liu Bang's heart.
The glass, soap, and the paper workshop in Pei County that have flowed out of the Zhou Mansion in the past six months, all show that this person has a very powerful ability to make money in addition to his strange skills.
If Gao Yao stays in Xianyang, if Zhou Ji bumps into him one day, he will definitely ask why, and then Gao Yao will tell the whole story of tonight.
Liu Bang spread out his palm, and there was a faint tingling pain in the clearly visible scar on the palm.
"Why don't you dare to write?"
Suddenly, there was a playful tease from behind, Liu Bang's heart skipped a beat, his wrist flicked, and ink dripped from the tip of his pen. Zhou Ji took the bamboo slips with his eyes and hands quickly, and opened his hands to read them, "There are two vacancies in the corvee, look at you!" It’s so tangled, how about I fill it out for you?”
Liu Bang knew that he was not Zhou Ji's opponent, so he glanced at a wine jar on the table from the corner of his eye, and while opening his mouth to shout, he stretched out his hand to overturn the table.
However, Zhou Ji had already seen his intention, and raised his hand to point at Liu Bang's shoulder. Liu Bang's body froze directly, and he kept pushing the table with both hands, and stopped in place.
What kind of sorcery is this? Why can't I move?
Liu Bang's pupils trembled. He had never heard of such a magic trick before. The only two people in the world who knew what acupressure was were already so drunk by him that they had no idea what was going on right now.
Zhou Ji picked up the dropped writing brush in front of him, imitating his handwriting and wrote the three characters 'Yi Xiaochuan' under the official slave.
Liu Bang stared at Zhou Ji with wide eyes. He never expected that Zhou Ji would really help him fill Yi Xiaochuan with corvee.
However, before he could feel grateful, Zhou Ji glanced at him with a half-smile, and put the word "Liu Bang" under the Great Wall.
"Hey, isn't that good? As the head of the pavilion, when you encounter difficulties, you should take the lead. How can you just pull two people to take the blame for yourself? You want to win the hearts of the people, and there is no way to sacrifice the ego in the world It is even more touching to fulfill the self? In this way, you are also seeking benevolence and deserving benevolence."
Zhou Ji lowered his head to check the handwriting that could be faked, and nodded in satisfaction, "It's okay, the craftsmanship is not lost."
After finishing speaking, he rolled up the bamboo slips in his hand, shook them at Liu Bang, and rushed to the office before dawn to help him hand in the list for today's appointment.
When the list is handed in, Zhou Ji is not afraid that Liu Bang will think again. After all, the laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict, and the prison does not care whether there is any problem with the list. The number of corvees collected will depend on the number of people. If you say that the list is wrong, one is missing. People are fugitives.
Escaping from the military service in the Qin State requires sitting down, and dozens of people in a group have to be beheaded, even Liu Bang is no exception.
As Zhou Ji said, instead of trying to argue that the list is wrong, it is better to bite the bullet and admit it. Maybe you can find a glimmer of life when the Great Wall is being built on the border.
Thinking of this, Liu Bang decided to hide what happened tonight.
This is the first time that Liu Bang has suffered so much from others, and he almost killed himself in it.
He doesn't have the courage to die. With his willingness to take revenge, what he wants more is to seek revenge. Even if he imitates King Goujian of Yue, he must try his best to bite off a piece of meat from Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji went back and forth, but Liu Bang's eyes had not had time to hide the dark and murderous intent. Just as he was trying to adjust his eyes, Zhou Ji walked to the wine table indifferently, lifted Gao Yao casually, and carried him with him. sideways, walking past Liu Bang as if he hadn't seen anything.
When he came to the door, he pointed out and helped him untie the acupuncture points.
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Ji didn't say any threatening words, but the mystery he revealed was already the biggest threat to Liu Bang.
As soon as the acupoints were untied, Liu Bang couldn't bear it anymore and sat down on the ground. He turned his head and looked outside the room, just in time to see Zhou Ji flying across the sky, flying away like a fairy.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bang was horrified, stood up tremblingly, looked at the empty yard, and once again felt the gap between manpower.
"With Zhou Ji's skills, if I want to kill him, I can't do it alone. But manpower is sometimes exhausted. If I gather thousands of troops and block the whole country, no matter how good his skills are, he will still die! "
A flame called ambition quietly rose in the bottom of his heart. Liu Bang looked at the direction where Zhou Ji was leaving with dark eyes, and murmured:
"Just wait, when I come back alive from the Great Wall, one day I will settle old and new feuds with you."
Thanks to 'Xiaoyao Xinyu' for the reward of 100 coins.
