Hearing what Liu Ji said, Lu Taigong and Xiao He were both stunned.

At this time, Ying Yu had already said goodbye to Lu Pheasant and returned to the hall.

Seeing Ying Yu come in, Taigong Lu quickly stepped forward:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your help. Please pay me your respects, Mr. Zhao."

Ying Yu stepped forward and helped Lu Taigong up: "It's just a matter of raising a hand, the old lady doesn't need to do this."

Seeing this, Xiao He also stepped forward and said:

"Xiao He has met Mr. Zhao, and just now I heard Liu Ji say that Mr. Zhao has something to do with me?"

Ying Yu looked at Xiao He with burning eyes, nodded and said: "There is indeed something, but it's not convenient to talk about it here."

Xiao He nodded. Mr. Zhao came all the way from Xianyang to come to him. He must have important matters. It is normal that there are so many people here and it is inconvenient.

Xiao He pondered for a moment, turned around and cupped his fists at Taigong Lu:

"Old lady, we've almost finished the wine. Xiao will leave now. If anything happens from now on, just give me your orders."

Taigong Lu nodded, knowing that the two of them had important matters to discuss, so he just said a few polite words and sent the two of them out of the Lu Mansion.

After a while!

Peixian County, inside an inn.

Ying Yu sat opposite Xiao He and pondered a little. Xiao He was the first to speak:

"I wonder what Mr. Zhao has to do with Xiao?"

Ying Yu had a smile on his face and did not speak. Instead, he took out a black token from his arms and handed it to Xiao He.

Xiao He took the token suspiciously, and when he saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "Black Dragon Order with Feather Characters?"

This Black Dragon Order was only possessed by the First Emperor's son in Great Qin.

There is a prince's name engraved on it.

Seeing that Xiao He recognized the Black Dragon Order, Ying Yu nodded and directly explained his purpose:

"My master came to Pei County personally just to invite Mr. Xiao to Xianyang. As long as Mr. Xiao is willing to come to Xianyang to serve as an official, I, Da Qin, are willing to treat him with the courtesy of Jiuqing."

At this time, Xiao He was completely dumbfounded.

The character is Black Dragon Ling, and the man in front of me calls himself Young Master.

Could it be that he is the Sixth Young Master of Qin Dynasty, Ying Yu?

But why would this high-ranking Sixth Young Master of the Qin Dynasty know that he is such a small person?

What made him even more unbelievable was that he was asked to serve as an official in Xianyang and was treated with the courtesy of Jiuqing.

At this moment, Xiao He's heart was full of doubts, confusion, and hesitation.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao He finally spoke: "This... Young Master, are you mistaken?"

"I, Xiao He, am just a small official, how can I take on such a big responsibility?"

This can't be blamed on Xiao He for not being confident, it was because things happened too suddenly.

The fact that a young master from the Qin Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to invite a nobody to him was really exciting.

With a smile on his face, Ying Yu said calmly: "If this is Pei County and you are sure your name is Xiao He, then I have found the right person."

Ying Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao He's reaction.

This is a normal person's reaction. After all, whoever encounters this thing, their first reaction would be disbelief.

It is even possible to think that Yingyu is a liar.

"With Mr. Xiao's talent, it is really unfair to only serve as a small official."

Having said this, Ying Yu stood up and bowed to Xiao He:

"I am not very talented, but I would like to be my teacher's assistant. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to be my thousand-mile horse? Follow me into the Qin Palace, show your talents and strategies, and conquer the great Qin River and Mountains?"

Just two sentences, but Xiao He's heart was filled with melancholy.

Xiao He believed that he was not inferior to anyone, but now he was nearly forty years old, but he was still a small official.

It can be said that life is miserable if you don't recognize your talents.

Now the powerful Master Qin actually came to invite me in person and gave him such great recognition.

This made Xiao He feel like he had found a confidant.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for a confidant.

At that moment, Xiao He no longer hesitated and said directly:

"Xiao He has no way to repay the great kindness of the young master. He can only follow and follow the example of the dog and horse."

When Ying Yu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Even he didn't expect that Xiao He would agree so easily.

Originally, he had made preparations to kidnap Xiao He back to Xianyang, but now it seems that it is completely useless.

"Okay, with Mr. Xiao's words, I feel relieved."

"Xiao He has met my lord!" Xiao He cupped his fists and bowed.

Ying Yu quickly helped him up: "No need to be polite, just call me Young Master from now on."

"Now that Mr. Xiao has made a decision, how about you pack your luggage and come with me to Xianyang?"

Xiao He nodded: "There is nothing to deal with. It's just that Xianyang is a long way away, and I still need to explain it to my wife."

Ying Yu laughed when he heard this: "No need to explain, just take it with you."

"Bring all the family members to Xianyang. I've prepared the mansion for you. I'm just waiting for you, Mr. Xiao, to pack your bags and move in."

When Xiao He heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

At the same time, Suzaku's report came from outside the house:

"Sir, Liu Ji, the director of the Sishui Pavilion, said that he has something important to see Mr. Xiao He."

"Liu Ji? Why is he here?" Xiao He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ying Yu.

"Let Lao Liu come in."

Following Ying Yu's order, Liu Ji walked in with an eager look on his face.

"Oh, my Lord Xiao, I finally found you."

"What do you want from me?" Xiao He asked doubtfully.

Liu Ji shook his head and sighed: "Master Xiao, the corvee has come down."

Xiao He was stunned, glanced at Ying Yu, and then said helplessly: "What's the use of telling me about this."

"My Lord Xiao, you have to help me this time. The boss has said that the Sishui Pavilion will require three hundred people."

"You, Mr. Xiao, know the situation of our Surabaya Pavilion better than anyone else. There are only three hundred people in the entire Surabaya Pavilion."

"I really have no choice, Mr. Xiao, please help me."

Xiao He was also shocked when he heard the three hundred people. He was silent for a moment and shook his head:

"I can't help you with this matter. Who dares to disobey the imperial court's will?"

When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately showed a look of disappointment, and then said angrily:

"I think this court is about to be ruined. Who can stand this constant abuse?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao He quickly stopped him.

"Am I talking nonsense? Am I talking nonsense?"

Liu Ji suddenly became anxious and said loudly: "In the past, it was the slack time for farming to collect corvees, but what about now? It's busy farming now, and it's the time to harvest crops."

"Everyone is gone. Who cares if the crops rot in the fields?"

"Now that this man is gone, what do we eat at home? What do we drink? Are we still going to let people live?"

Xiao He felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. He went up and kicked Liu Ji to the ground:

"What are you yelling about? I tell you that there must be no less than one of the three hundred people, why don't you get out of here!"

Liu Ji looked at Xiao He with a shocked face, then stood up angrily and pointed at Xiao He:

"Okay, you Xiao He can do it. I'll leave. Can't you do it if I leave?"

After saying that, he turned around and left.
