All worlds start from leaves

Chapter 217 Faithfulness
King Li implemented a benevolent government, and now many scholar-bureaucrats are talking about it, but this so-called benevolent government is made by people next to him, which makes people uncomfortable.

Originally, King Li made people exorcise demons, and the hearts of the people danced happily, and everyone wanted to praise him very much.

But every time they think that this is what a few women came up with, the group of people panic in their hearts.

Especially in this era when women are not treated as human beings, it is even more uncomfortable.

But compared to a group of scholar-bureaucrats, Rong Yigong really wanted to cry.

Who did you provoke?I was pointed at by the king with a sword and came up with a plan to defend the people. How did I become a villain who harmed the world?

I was forced~!

It's just that no one listened to Rong Yigong's excuse, and the reputation of a country's great harm can't be washed away.Even Duke Rongyi didn’t even dare to leave his house these days, because once he went out, the people would throw rotten vegetable leaves, which could be buried by the rotten vegetable leaves in just ten seconds.

Thanks to Duke Rongyi's downfall at this time, the guards and servants in the mansion also fled one after another, making the huge mansion a haunted house with a depressed hall.

It can't be regarded as a haunted house, at least Li Ziji didn't leave, and Rong Yigong didn't leave either.

There are still a few who haven't left, but they are all slaves bought back by Duke Rong Yi, and they can't live after they leave, so they can only stay.

Just in the morning, because the cook ran away and no one was cooking, Rong Yigong was hungry, so he ordered the slaves who didn’t know anything to cook, but almost burned the whole kitchen, Rong Yigong watched with tears Looking at the raging fire, I really cried.

If you provoke anyone, you will become a great harm to the country, and now you can't even eat, what's the matter?

Seeing Rong Yigong looking at the sky with tears in his eyes, Li Ziji stood up in good time, and then made some dishes for Rong Yigong himself.

This meal, Rong Yigong only thought it was the most delicious thing in the world.

Originally looking at Li Ziji, he wanted to say some words of encouragement, but when he noticed that Li Ziji's shoulders were red from carrying water, his throat was stuck, and he finally went back to the room alone without saying anything.

Li Ziji didn't say anything, and after throwing the tableware to the slave to clean up, he carried the burden and walked towards the river.

Since I didn't tell myself not to carry water, then I can't be lazy, which is not good for people.

It's just that after reaching the river, another person followed behind him, but it was Zhou Gong who had never shown his face in front of Li Ziji, and he was also a rare loyal and kind person in Dazhou at this time.It's just that they are a little mysterious on weekdays, and they are usually in their own fiefdom.

Li Ziji didn't know the other party, but a purple qi was steaming above the other party's head, not weaker than Zhao Gong, which made Li Ziji secretly pay attention.

"Young man, the old man is thirsty, but I wonder if you can fetch some water for the old man?"

The person behind him suddenly spoke, Li Ziji was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then turned his head.

"My husband called me?"

"Is there still three people here? Go and get some water for the old man."

"Old man, wait a moment."

With a bold smile, Li Ziji fetched water and brought it to the other party.

However, Duke Zhou didn't thank him. Instead, he pointed to a leaf in the bucket and shook his head, "It's dirty."

Complaining in his heart, Li Ziji felt like strangling this bad old man to death.

Sure enough, did all the big figures in ancient times have the same virtue?All kinds of rubbish, no wonder I was not good at history in the past, the problem lies here.

Nothing happened today, Li Ziji was not in a hurry, he really wanted to see what the other party wanted.

So he also smiled slightly, and then continued to change the water with the bucket.

"The bucket is not full, you see."

Is this a reason?
Row!
Li Ziji continued to change the water.

Today he was tossing with the other party, the old man had nothing to do to make fun of himself, and he wanted to see if he could survive it, or if he could run.

And the time is also spent in the tacit understanding between the old and the young, looking for reasons and changing the water.

Zhou Gong made things difficult again and again, Li Ziji carried water again and again, until several times, Zhou Gong looked at Li Ziji who was still looking like I couldn't do it at this time, and I continued to change the water, all the facial features on his face were drawn together. Boy, don't follow the routine.

It seems that I can't find a reason to ask the other party to change the water. What's the matter?

I heard that this kid is a vassal of the country's great evil, so he came here to make things difficult, but at this time, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a bad person.

Being able to endure so many times of making things difficult for me, and still not being ashamed or annoyed at this time, how can I be bad?
Such a person, with such noble virtues, why did he defect to Duke Rong Yi?Incomprehensible, incomprehensible.

"Old Zhan, what's the matter? Is there something on the boy's face?"

"No," Duke Zhou shook his head, and then suddenly asked, "Boy, do you know who I am?"

"But I don't know"

Sure enough, I don't know myself, but it's normal, after all, I rarely show up, and few people know me.

Duke Zhou grinned, and smiled helplessly: "I am Duke Zhou of this dynasty! Have you ever heard of it?"

"It's Zhou Gong?!" Li Ziji suddenly realized at this time, sad that the purple air above the old man's head is not weak Zhao Gong, and his feelings are another big man in Da Zhou!
So in surprise, he hurriedly saluted.

"Your junior, I have met Duke Zhou."

"That's all, there's no need for luggage." After Li Ziji's ninety-degree bow was stopped, Zhou Gong asked bluntly, expressing his doubts.

"Boy, I heard that you are a servant of Duke Rongyi?"

"Yes! The boy is appreciated by Duke Rongyi, and he is indeed a subject of the Duke."

"There are rumors in the market that Mr. Rong and Yi are like rats crossing the street, and you are the only one who will never leave. Of course, some people say that you are a minion for a tiger. Do you know that?"

Li Ziji nodded and said, "Know a little."

Duke Zhou became even more curious after hearing this: "Duke Rongyi is notorious at this time, it would be no problem for you to leave, but why do you still stay with him? Is it still for the so-called glory?"

"I don't want to hide from Duke Zhou," Li Ziji saluted slightly, and Li Ziji laughed at himself: "Your lord, have you ever seen a confidant who used to carry water for the past few years? If you are not a confidant, how can you get glory?"

"Then why don't you leave?"

"Call it—faith! Call it—righteousness!"

This sentence Li Ziji said loudly, no matter what he thought in his heart, at least after saying this sentence, Duke Zhou was moved by it.

Seeing Li Ziji standing there, he felt ashamed.

After making a long bow to Li Ziji, he left with a complicated mood.

The next day, in the royal capital, the previous policy turmoil that Wang Fangmin said had not subsided, but yesterday's news about Li Ziji and Zhou Gong spread.

Naturally, it wasn't Li Ziji's news. After some inquiring, Duke Rong Yi finally found out that it was Duke Zhou who said it himself, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Li Ziji was his retainer, but it was his enemy who found out that he was loyal, and he felt it was extremely absurd.

So on the same day, Li Ziji's work of carrying water was put aside, and Li Ziji was left at home to take care of his daily meals instead.

"Jishi? Why did you come here?"

While Li Ziji's avatar was still leisurely in Rongyi Duke's mansion, the avatar who had been in Wuzhuang Temple had unknowingly come to the heaven.

"Greetings to Patriarch Taiqing."

"Excuse me, excuse me, this old man is worshiped by you like this, if you become immortal in the future, wouldn't this old man want to worship you back?"

With a smile, Taiqing Tianzun invited Li Ziji to the elegant room.

"Tell me, what's the matter? Coincidentally, I also have something to settle for you."

"Patriarch Taiqing, the disciples have come to seek treasures recently."

Taiqing Tianzun asked suspiciously: "What treasure does Daoist Brother Zhenyuan not have?"

"Dragon Nail!"

"Pfft~"

"Dragon nail?"

"Don't mess around! This is going to cause trouble!"
