Chapter 214 Seeing all kinds of women in the world, wouldn't you be tempted?
Seeing that the visitors were Luo Ying and Liu Ling, Xu Qingshan pursed his lips and sighed softly: "Not only did the mission not be completed, but the situation has become like this. It is not appropriate to go back like this."
Luo Ying came over and stood side by side with Xu Qingshan, looking at Zhao Cheng's team walking further and further away, and said: "Mr. Xu, with all due respect, you are too thin-skinned."
In terms of the ranking of the Five Evil Stars, Luo Ying is the first person and can be regarded as Xu Qingshan's boss, but both he and the cultural guards respect Xu Qingshan.
Suddenly hearing what Luo Ying said, Xu Qingshan was very surprised and asked: "What does this mean?"
Luo Ying smiled and said: "You were hiding well in the dark, but you were blackmailed by Zhao Cheng and fell into his trap. Why? It's because you are thin-skinned. Now you feel that you have not completed the task and you are evil.
The thought of not being able to do business with me after everything is over is also because I am thin-skinned."
"Actually, the problem is not as serious as you think. The same thing depends on which angle you think about it." Luo Ying looked at Xu Qingshan and continued: "The mission this time is to kill Chen Chong, but we not only killed Chen Chong
, and also killed Yu Beipiao and the elite secret spies stationed in Changsui by Southern Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that we have completed the task very well."
"As for killing Zhao Cheng, it is outside the mission."
Xu Qingshan felt that what Luo Ying said was reasonable, but he still felt depressed in his heart and asked, "Won't Zhao Cheng kill him?"
Luo Ying said: "The current situation is inappropriate."
Xu Qingshan sighed and opened the folding fan to fan the wind.
"You have been exposed now. It won't be long before Xu Qingshan's name will be spread throughout Dajing. By then, some of your early deeds will also be publicized. Some are good and some are bad. Mr. Xu must have
Mentally prepare.”
"Then is it appropriate for me to stay in Zuoxiang's Mansion?"
"I do not know about this."
Luo Ying shook his head slightly and said: "Since you have been exposed, the credit for killing Chen Chong and Yu Beipiao must also be attributed to you. As for your next arrangements, it depends on what Zuo Xiang and Master Wen decide.
"
"Give me the credit, then you..."
"I should try my best to hide it if I can." Luo Ying smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Xu, this credit is not for nothing. After killing the two masters of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Chen Chong and Yu Beipiao, you have to be prepared to bear the wrath of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
From now on, you, like the Zhou Chuan brothers and sisters, will be targeted by Nan Zhou."
Xu Qingshan nodded, acquiescing.
"Go back to Changsui and stop thinking about killing Zhao Cheng, at least not now."
After speaking, Luo Ying turned around and walked deeper into the woods.
Liu Ling nodded to Xu Qingshan and followed Luo Ying.
…
Yongshou Palace.
Yuan Xiu stood in the courtyard, looking up at the building under construction. He was surrounded only by Lu Lu and Luo Mingyi, Minister of Industry, but there were also a large group of palace maids and eunuchs behind him.
It was midsummer and the weather was extremely hot. Two palace ladies held a canopy one and a half steps behind Yuan Xiu to block him from the sun. Six palace ladies spread out in a semicircle behind Yuan Xiu, fanning him from a distance.
Feng. The two young eunuchs took out cold fruits from the ice pan from time to time to give Yuan Xiu relief from the heat.
The location of the construction was the former observatory, which was destroyed during the sword duel between Zhou Chuan and Chen Chong.
Originally it could be repaired, but Yuan Xiu saw the two people's light skills and decided to start over and double it.
Of course, such requirements are difficult for construction. After all, as the height increases, the sturdiness must keep up.
Yuan Xiu likes to play on the observatory the most. If something happens, Luo Mingyi knows that even if he grows ten heads, he won't be able to cut it off, so he has been here every day since the start of construction.
"Luo Shangshu, when the new observatory is built, it will be the tallest building in the palace."
Yuan Xiu put his hands on his hips and raised his head and said: "No, it is not only the tallest building in the imperial palace, but also the tallest building in Changsui and the tallest building in Dajing. As the general person in charge, you will leave a name in history!!"
"Thanks to Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity, I dare not neglect it. I will be here every day except going to court!" Luo Mingyi said with a bow.
Yuan Xiu looked around, looked at one of the rooms, and said with a smile: "I heard that for this project, you not only moved your office here, but you didn't even go home to sleep at night?"
"Indeed."
"Aren't the women at home anxious?"
"That woman has been nagging all day long, I've already annoyed her!" Luo Mingyi blurted out, suddenly seeing Yuan Xiu stunned for a moment, he quickly apologized: "I made a mistake!! I shouldn't complain about family matters in front of His Majesty!!"
"Hahaha, it's okay, I like to hear it." Yuan Xiu patted Luo Mingyi on the shoulder and said softly: "When the repair here is completed, I will reward you heavily, or I will reward you with a concubine who dare not chatter?"
Yuan Xiu advised: "Don't be afraid. If your woman dares not to take what I reward you, she is disobeying the decree."
Plop!
Luo Mingyi suddenly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, you don't want it!"
Yuan Xiu was confused and asked: "What does Luo Shangshu mean by this?"
Luo Mingyi said sincerely: "Although my mother-in-law is nagging and always cruel to me, she is my wife. Before I was elected, I could only concentrate on studying because of her work to support my family."
When I was in Beijing to take the exam, she took good care of the elderly and children at home. I swore that she would be the only woman in this life and I would never let her down!"
Hearing this, Yuan Xiu was a little shocked, suppressed his smile, and asked: "After you occupy a high position, will you not be tempted when you see all kinds of women in this colorful world?"
Luo Mingyi nodded and said: "I have been tempted! But... I can't betray my wife, let alone my promise!"
Yuan Xiu took a deep breath and patted Luo Mingyi hard on the shoulder twice.
"Luo Shangshu, work hard, I won't reward you when you're done."
"Ah?" Luo Mingyi was a little confused.
Yuan Xiu continued: "I want to reward your wife. She has trained a responsible and good official for my Dajing. I want to give her a royal title."
Hearing this, Luo Mingyi was shocked and fell down again.
“Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty!!”
To grant a royal title means to grant Luo Mingyi’s wife the title of Madam Gaoming.
This is not only the honor of Luo Mingyi's wife, but also the glory of Luo Mingyi.
At this time, Wen Tai came over.
"My lord, please see your majesty."
Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "No gifts, no gifts. Look, Prime Minister Zuo, is my observatory more impressive than before?"
Wen Tai looked up and could only see the structure now, but it was indeed taller and more majestic than before.
Wen Tai said: "I think the name Star Observation Tower is no longer worthy of it, and it should be renamed Star Observation Tower."
Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he burst out laughing.
"Good! Very good!!" Yuan Xiu said with joy and joy: "The proposal made by the Prime Minister Zuo is just right and wonderful to the extreme. It's settled!"
"When my star-gazing tower is completed, a monument will be erected below, and the names of Zuo Xiang and Luo Shangshu will be engraved on it!"
"I am terrified!!" Wen Tai and Luo Mingyi said at the same time.
"I'm so scared. I'm also afraid of heights!"
Yuan Xiu smiled and cursed, looked at Wen Tai, and asked: "Why did the Prime Minister Zuo come to see me here?"
Wen Tai glanced at Luo Mingyi.
Luo Mingyi quickly retreated and said: "I have to go to a pair of drawings, so I'll retreat first."
Yuan Xiu asked: "What's wrong with the Left Prime Minister? He's so mysterious?"
