With a "pop" sound, the gavel knocked on the table, causing a sudden silence in the originally noisy teahouse.
A boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with sharp eyes and a sense of cleverness, straightened his back and stood on the storytelling table in the middle of the tea house, cupping his hands in front of the guests and saying:
"Dear guests, my old man is not feeling well today, and I am brave enough to tell you something."
This boy is the grandson of the storyteller in the teahouse, and all the regular customers in the teahouse know this. This boy has a pleasant appearance and speaks clearly, and some of the guests agreed happily, and responded:
"I'm here to show my skills. I just can't speak well, but I won't give you tea money!"
"Come on!"
The young man's eyebrows were full of joy and he opened his mouth and said:
"My old man loves to talk about knights and knights, and everyone is tired of hearing it! Today, I will tell you about the deeds of the founder of the Yun Kingdom!"
"Hey! We've been hearing this book since we were kids. We're really tired of it. Let's change it to another one!" Some guests shouted.
The young man calmly replied in a deep voice:
"This is what the old man and I came up with after reading countless historical books and researching many circulated versions. You may wish to listen to it. If it is not good, I will not ask for your reward."
At this point, all the tea guests fell silent.
"This means that more than 600 years ago, there were still many small countries in the world. The founding ancestor of the Xia Kingdom who would later pacify the Central Plains was just a little boy at this time. The countries in the world were conquering each other and fighting constantly.
The people are suffering unspeakably."
"I, the great ancestor of the Yun Kingdom, couldn't bear the chaos of war for my clan, so I stepped forward and led my clan members to the land of Tiannan to avoid the chaos of war."
"At that time, Tiannan, Miao, Dulong, Yao, Nu and other tribes were entrenched in it. The mountains were high, the forests were dense, snakes and insects were everywhere, and it was a desolate place. My Taizu was also destined to be a true dragon. After entering Tiannan, he conquered the strange beasts, the dragon-blooded Pegasus, and
I also received the Divine Sword of the Raging Dragon from a man of God. After several years of conquest, overcoming thorns and thorns, establishing a country, and educating the people, my country of Yun can prosper."
"And speaking of this dragon-blooded Pegasus, and the Raging Dragon Divine Sword granted by the God, it has saved Taizu's life several times. There are twists and turns, let me tell you one by one!"
Although the young man on the stage was young, he was a very good storyteller. He told this widely circulated story with many versions, passionately and vividly, and all the tea guests present were fascinated by it.
And when everyone was in a state of trance, a middle-aged man who was short in stature, ordinary in appearance, but proud of himself walked into the teahouse.
The waiter, who was also listening with some rapt attention, glanced at the visitor from the corner of his eye, was startled in a hurry, came up to him, and said respectfully:
"Uncle Guo, why are you here today?"
The middle-aged man nodded to the waiter with an easy-going expression, waved his hand and said:
"I have an appointment with someone. You go and do your work. I'll go find someone on my own!"
The waiter shook his head quickly and said:
"If that's the case, I'm afraid if the shopkeeper finds out, he'll be skinned! Uncle Guo, I don't know which private room your friend is in. I'll show you the way."
The middle-aged man reached out and patted the waiter on the shoulder, shook his head and said:
"It's okay, go and do your work!"
After that, the middle-aged man walked straight towards the second floor of the teahouse.
On the second floor of the teahouse, a middle-aged man glanced around and saw an aristocratic young man in a luxurious sapphire robe with his hair tied in a cloud crown on the corridor, leaning on the railing and listening with interest to the storytelling of the young storyteller below.
The middle-aged man looked at the noble young man carefully with his eyes, strode forward, cupped his hands and said:
"But Mr. Duan Siping!"
Hearing this, the noble young man turned his head, smiled gently at the middle-aged man, and said:
“I sent people to invite you several times, but it’s only today that I got to see Uncle Guo Xie!”
This noble young man is clearly Xiao Cheng.
Unable to be seen by others, above the head of the middle-aged man, the "Ranger of the Western Han Dynasty" was glowing with white light, which was very conspicuous.
[Guo Xie, a heroic hero of the Western Han Dynasty, was frugal and frugal, repaid evil with virtue, was knowledgeable about affairs, and settled civil disputes.

When Guo Xie heard what Xiao Cheng said, his eyes moved, then he raised his hand and said with a smile:
"It seems that Young Master Duan has something to say to me. In that case, please come into the private room and talk about it!"
Xiao Cheng heard this and said with a smile:
"I think so too!"
The two of them walked into the private room and sat down. Guo Xie couldn't hold himself any longer and asked:
"Guo is just one of the people in the world. Mr. Duan has invited me several times. I don't know what's going on?"
Xiao Cheng heard this and spoke frankly and honestly:
"I want to recruit you!"
Guo Xie's eyes flashed and he said secretly: It is indeed so.
An eighth-level master is a high-level talent everywhere. Since he entered Zhongqing City, he has been approached by many powerful people to recruit him, but they were all declined by Guo Xie.
"Before Guo answers, can Mr. Duan please answer the next question?"
Xiao Cheng nodded and said:
"You ask!"
Guo Xie's face became solemn and he whispered:
"I wonder who Mr. Duan is recruiting me for?"
A loyalty value of over ninety means that Guo Xie is a trustworthy person.
Xiao Cheng looked straight at Guo Xie and said every word with great seriousness:
"You have already made assumptions in your own mind, why do you need me to make it clear!"
Hearing Xiao Cheng's self-proclaimed statement, which could be said to indicate his intention, Guo Xie, who had already been prepared, was startled.
After a while, Guo Xie stammered and said:
"Yes, what's the proof?"
Xiao Cheng was already prepared and took out a small gold seal from his arms and showed it.
On the gold seal, there are small characters engraved, "The Emperor's Seal".
The emperor has six seals, which are used for issuing edicts, appointing officials, mobilizing troops, and raising troops to conquer the country. Among them, the emperor's official seal is the seal that the emperor carries with him to prove his identity.
Now that the power of the Yun Kingdom has fallen away, these six seals of the Emperor have no other use except to prove Xiao Cheng's identity.
Guo Xie was stunned for a moment, then stood up, knelt on the ground, leaned over and said:
"Guo Xie, a common man, comes to see Your Majesty and asks you to forgive the common man for being disrespectful!"
Xiao Cheng took back the golden seal and asked again:
"I have already answered you. Now that you have answered me, are you willing to do something for me?"
After listening to what Xiao Cheng said, Guo Xie, who buried his head on the ground, couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
Although Guo Xie wanted to surrender, Grand Master Wang Xiao had power over the government and the opposition. His Majesty was like a bird in a cage, and the original determination in his heart gradually wavered.
But Xiao Cheng came in person today. On the one hand, it made Guo Xie feel that he was valued. On the other hand, it also let him know that His Majesty's subordinates already have a certain amount of power. Otherwise, they would never leave the palace to meet him.
In the sight of no one, a line of small words appeared.
[Guo Xie, the loyalty value increased by five points.]
"The common people have long wanted to be loyal to His Majesty, but Wang Xiao is so powerful in the court that they cannot contact His Majesty, so they have no choice but to stay in the capital to find an opportunity to meet His Majesty." Guo Xie said hurriedly.
"Oh? Now that the Grand Master has great power and controls the government, why are you more willing to serve me?" Xiao Cheng stood up, helped him up, and asked casually.
When Guo Xie heard what Xiao Cheng said, he hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Could it be possible that the common man is telling the truth?"
"Say!" Xiao Cheng nodded.
"The ordinary people do not know how to govern the country or military affairs, but they rely on their martial arts skills to serve Wang Xiao and are just a guard. The ordinary people want to leave a name in history, so they can only serve His Majesty and help His Majesty regain his power!"
As Guo Xie spoke, his ambition was clearly revealed.
He doesn't care about profit, he doesn't care about sex, he doesn't care about his life, he just wants to leave his name in history!
