When the lowly maids and lackeys mentioned by Jia Sidao walked aside to talk, Jia Sidao seemed a little lonely.

He sat alone on the edge of the cliff, covering his wounds, and could see the fire in the distance.

It was his guards who were looking for him.

This time I brought more than 200 people with me to the mountain, maybe more than 300 people, I can't remember clearly.

Anyway, what's the use of having more? They're just a bunch of food and wine, and the only things they care about are salary, gambling, and enjoyment.

The night wind blew and carried the chatter of men and women.

"I have to go with him. There is something I need to confirm no matter what."

"I'll check it for you. Oh, let the old gentleman check it for you. You don't have to follow him."

"You have to go, be careful and get away quickly."

"Well, you know how to join us. By the way, it was the queen who harmed the princess, right? I'll go check..."

Jia Sidao turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to take a look.

But endured it.

Lu Xiaoyou turned around, raised his voice, and said, "Jia Sidao, if you dare to touch Wang Cui, I will kill you sooner or later."

Jia Sidao ignored him.

These words are what Lu Xiaoyou means personally.

Then you are not qualified to talk to him.

"Did you hear that?!" Lu Xiaoyou shouted again.

Wang Cui said: "He heard it and didn't dare to touch me. Go quickly."

"oh."

Jia Sidao glanced back slightly.

I saw that silly boy who looked confused at all, finally climbed down from the cliff again.

He then stood up and said, "Help me walk."

"walk on my own."

Jia Sidao then groaned and walked towards Tongbai Palace with difficulty.

I continued to think about the things I was thinking about before the attack...

After losing to Li Xia for the first time, Li Xia returned to Shu and served as commander; after losing to Li Xia for the second time, Li Xia opened a palace and became king.

Tonight is not the third time. Tonight was a misunderstanding. The pawn didn't hear Li Xia's instructions clearly. Yes, that's it. The reason why Li Xia didn't say more was not because he didn't care, but because he guessed that the murderer of Zhao Jin was not him.

The soldier checked the wrong way and caused a misunderstanding, but he still said something harsh.

In short, after Li Xia opened his palace and became the king, the only way the court could control him was to manipulate money and food.

The soldiers and horses were not moved, but the food and grass were sent first. Qin Jiushao sat in Jiangling for this very purpose.

This is the third battle.

Haven’t lost yet…

A few days later, Wanzhou.

In the post house, Qin Jiushao stood in front of Li Xia, his expression becoming increasingly sad and angry.

Because Jiang Fan was pressing his shoulders, trying to make him kneel down.

"Stop pressing it."

Li Xia finally noticed that Jiang Fan was exerting force and raised his hand to stop.

He never valued his personal honor or disgrace, and never asked others to kneel to him. He always stopped, even if Jiang Fan wanted to dampen Qin Jiushao's arrogance today.

Compared with Qin Jiushao's arrogance, Sichuan and Shaanxi's unfavorable culture of kneeling back and forth is more important.

"Let me ask you a few questions. During the three years when you were a filial piety to your mother, you wrote "Nine Chapters of Shushu". However, since your recovery in the second year of Xingchang, there has been no academic progress. Why?"

Qin Jiushao realized that Li Xia was asking him, glanced sideways and said, "Busy."

"What are you busy with?"

"In the second year of Xingchang, he was appointed as the counselor of the coastal system. In the fourth year of Xingchang, he resigned and lived under the family of Xianggong Jia. In the sixth year of Xingchang, he learned about Qiongzhou. Later, he left his post and lived under the family of Wu Xianggong. In the seventh year of Xingchang, he was appointed as Pingjiang Sinongcheng. In the first year of Xianding

Know Linjiang Junzhou."

"I have changed my court twice, been dismissed from my official position several times, experienced ups and downs, and now I am a prisoner of the rank and file. What has been left behind?"

"There is still a huge wealth, a spacious and luxurious house, and beautiful concubines like clouds." Qin Jiushao didn't know whether he was complacent or self-deprecating.

Li Xia said: "I won't let you go back, these are all empty."

"As for achievements in one life, there are very few people here who can be higher than me." Qin Jiushao then looked around the lobby of the post house and said, "There are many mediocre people here."

Just this sentence made everyone angry.

Because many people know that what he said is probably true, it makes people even more angry.

Zhang Hongdao, who was sitting on the left, and Gao Changshou, who was sitting on the right, although they had nothing to do with Qin Jiushao, both looked unhesitating when they heard the words, as if the word "mediocre" was piercing their hearts.

Li Xia, however, had no reaction and said, "I saw an article about construction in your book. I thought you were a master of arithmetic, but it turns out you are a master of architecture."

"The prince has given too much praise and is just drawing parallels."

Qin Jiushao ignored the angry looks around him, glanced at Li Ye first, and nodded.

Seeing the curiosity and examination look in the old man's eyes, he knew that this was a man with ink in his belly, and he was different from the idiots around him.

He must be the mathematician from Sichuan and Shaanxi.

After that, Qin Jiushao looked at Li Xia seriously, no longer as arrogant as before, and began to talk about academic matters.

"My father once served as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, a secretary in charge of construction, and a secretary in charge of books. There was a Taishi Bureau under him. When I was young, I could borrow a large number of classics and visit famous people who were good at astronomy, calendars, architecture, etc.

…”

Qin Jiushao has integrity, but there is no need to pay attention to integrity with the Pingling County Prince of Song Dynasty.

The reason why he was arrogant first and then respectful was because he had his own reasons.

As long as Li Xia is willing to use him, he will still have a bright future.

But he himself did not realize that he had just entered Shu and the things he was talking about were already different from those in the southeast.

Because that’s what the guy sitting up there is asking…

Li Ye became more and more interested and asked: "You didn't tell me just now, who did you learn arithmetic from? I heard that there are famous people in the south such as Jiang Zhou and Li Wenyi."

Qin Jiushao said: "Sir, he is a hermit and it is inconvenient to reveal his name."

"How about talking to me in private?"

Qin Jiushao said: "I promised you, sir, not to mention his name."

Li Xia Sui felt that the current academic atmosphere has such shortcomings. Talented people always think that "hermits" are noble and their works cannot be passed down. I don't know how many great achievements have been lost in the clouds because of this.

"Okay, okay, you are still a trustworthy person." Li Ye stroked his beard and chin, and continued to ask Qin Jiushao: "You are also good at poetry and prose, where did you learn from him?"

"Poems and articles, learned from Mr. Mei Ting."

"Li Meiting? That's great, that's great." Li Ye said with emotion: "Teacher's meritorious deeds in protecting the people are gone, and he went to Xijing and the original temple to conduct Gui Zan. You have many good teachers."

Qin Jiushao remained silent.

I have been obsessed with fame and fortune for more than ten years? Today I think of the gentlemen I met when I was young...I don't want to or dare to mention them again.

But he was still happy in his heart.

Look, you still have to use a genius like me.

It has always been like this in my life. Prime Minister Wei, Prime Minister Jia, Prime Minister Wu, and today's Prince Pingling, who doesn't cherish my talent?

Sure enough, Li Xia opened his mouth and said: "Since you are a master of construction, Chengdu's Fu Road is full of waste and is waiting for renovation. Would you like to go over and contribute?"

Qin Jiushao was overjoyed. He raised his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Prince, for your support."

"Let's set off today."

Li Xia made arrangements, raised his hand, and asked people to escort Qin Jiushao to Chengdu to help.

Li Ye squinted his old eyes and looked outside the hall for a while, then stood up and said: "It's better..."

"Don't intercede, Mr. Jingzhai. This man still needs to be dealt with. The more you look at him, the prouder he will be. Please let your heart dry out."

Li Ye turned around to look, a little reluctant, and slowly sat down again.

Yan Yunyun calmly gave him another cup of tea.

She really wanted Li Ye to accept her as his disciple, as she often showed such courtesy recently.

"Continue the discussion."

Li Xia had already spoken and said: "Jiang Fan, tell everyone about the situation in Jiangling."
