Journey to the West from Daqin

However, Li Jue still didn't want to stand out too much. He lowered his head, and when he saw Yu Ji was still sticking out her neck, he pressed her head down.

Where did the girl dare to resist, she obeyed obediently.

Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Jue and the two of them playing around like this.

He has never doubted the loyalty of the two of them. First of all, he knows Li Jue better. He was loyal a few years ago, and now he is dedicated to serving the country when he returns.

Otherwise, they would not have received Li Jue in the bedroom and given him an official title.

Now it is also thanks to Li Jue's master and servant, otherwise he might be very embarrassed.

Ying Zheng said quickly, "Li Jue, master and servant, obey orders."

When everyone heard the words, they were all envious.

We all know that Ying Zheng intends to reward them. Although the timing is not very good now, but Ying Zheng is happy, it is completely fine to reward them here.

Before Li Jue's jade pendant made a contribution, Ying Zheng didn't say anything, they thought Li Jue had fallen out of favor.

Now that Li Jue has made another contribution, Yingzheng summoned him, so he must be rewarded.

Li Jue secretly thought it was not good, he didn't want to be too high-profile, and he didn't want to be promoted to a noble position, otherwise, the greater the position, the greater the responsibility.

He didn't want to bear too much responsibility, and he didn't want to attract attention, otherwise he would definitely cause a lot of trouble!

Concubine Yu was pleasantly surprised, she was more eager for Li Jue to be promoted, but she didn't like being called out to herself.

Because she didn't want any rewards, if she wanted to be by Li Jue's side, she had better be able to give money.

Neither the master nor the servant wanted to be rewarded, but everyone was envious.

They still came close.

Ying Zheng praised: "You two, master and servant, are dedicated to me. You are really a model of loyalty. Before the monster dragon and the monster concubine made troubles, the divine jade made by Shaoshang helped a lot. I didn't reward you. Do you hold any grudges?"

Li Jue said: "Your Majesty is joking, how dare I?"

He raised his head, and said earnestly and solemnly: "For Daqin, I can shed my blood, and for Your Majesty's great cause, I can devote myself to death. If it is for rewards for meritorious service, I will surely die with thousands of swords pierced through my heart!"

hiss.

This man is so poisonous that he swore a poisonous oath.

Everyone was shocked by Li Jue, at the same time Zhao Gao and the others cursed inwardly, Li Jue is so noble, doesn't it mean they are vulgar! ?

Sure enough, many people are extremely ashamed.

Even Fu Su was ashamed of himself, and came forward to testify for Li Jue, saying: "Father, Shao Shangzao is devoted to the country and never to himself. He has many abilities, and he also made great contributions to Daqin secretly, but he did not hesitate to give up. Working hard, even refusing to report to his son, is really a loyal minister and good general!"

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "My son is right, Li Jue, I am not an ungrateful person, I am in a hurry for every stroke of your credit."

"This time the thieves are in trouble, your master and servant, one attracts the attention of the archer, and the other kills the thief with a sword. They complement each other and cooperate seamlessly. They are loyal ministers. I will reward you!"

Li Jue was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, the minister is not worthy!"

Everyone was stunned.

I'll give you a big reward, but you still don't want it?

Ying Zheng was also stunned, and said, "You refused before I told you anything!?"

Li Jue said: "I don't receive rewards for no merit, but I did what I could, which is really nothing to worry about."

Then he pushed Yu Ji out as a shield, saying: "If Your Majesty really wants to reward, give something to Yu Ji."

Concubine Yu was taken aback, and said, "I only want gold, silver and treasures, and nothing else."

Everyone was even more confused.

Fusu put his hand on his forehead, which was very embarrassing.

But he also smiled wryly, Yu Ji is such a person, she only cares about firewood, rice, oil, salt, gold, silver and jewelry.

She doesn't care about anything else.

Li Jue is even more so, so master and servant are in the same line.

The officials were all speechless.

Became an official, conferred titles, nothing! ?

Zhao Gao scolded: "Presumptuous, how dare you raise conditions with His Majesty?"

Ying Zheng said: "Okay, Zhao Gao, she is a hero, whoever doesn't know is not guilty!"

Zhao Gao then bowed and retreated, not daring to say any more.

In fact, I am envious and jealous.

Ying Zheng smiled again, and said, "Okay, as you wish, I will reward you with 1000 taels of gold, and a thousand bolts of cloth, plus one hundred acres of fertile land outside Xianyang City!"

Concubine Yu was overjoyed when she heard the words, it was right to give these!

She quickly thanked, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I wish you eternal life and a long life."

Yingzheng saw that Yuji really didn't like high-ranking officials and high salary, and didn't like fame, so he thought she was pretty good.

It's a pity that she is a maidservant with a humble status, otherwise she would be accepted as a righteous daughter and marry a minister.

Then Yingzheng looked at Li Jue, and said, "Young master, you made a great contribution in rescuing him in time. And your maidservant has already obtained gold and silver treasures. As the master, you naturally cannot be so simple."

Li Jue wanted to resist, but he also felt that if he continued to evade, Ying Zheng might not be a gift, but a machete!

He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng was very satisfied, Li Jue's attitude was the way to be a minister.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither greed nor desire.

Advancing and retreating are well-founded, polite and restrained.

Ying Zheng said: "You have made great achievements, and I will give you sixteen ranks of military merit, and you will be granted the title of Da Shang Zao, and you will be the same as Shang Qing."

Great work! ?

When everyone heard the words, they were all envious.

Everyone in the Heijia army was envious.

Except for Zhao Tuo, who is a military commander of the [-]th rank, the others, even the lieutenants and commanders, do not have the [-]th rank of military merit.

At most, it is less advanced, equal to the previous Li Jue.

But now that Li Jue is already a master, that is a height that no number of people who have made great achievements in military service may not be able to achieve! ?

Zhao Gao was very jealous because he didn't have such great military achievements.

However, he is not a military general, and he does not rely on military merits for promotion.

However, everyone wants to get military merit, because military merit can make you a Marquis, and if you reach the nineteenth level of military merit, you will be the Marquis of Guannei.

The twentieth military merit is Chehou, the greatest military merit.

Of course, Li Si is already a Chehou, it's not that he has been on the battlefield and made great achievements in battle.

It's because he is the prime minister, and the prime minister is automatically named a marquis.

However, even Li Si was a little envious of Li Jue, because his son Li You was already the governor of Sanchuan County, and he was considered a great official in the frontier, but he only made little military achievements.

Compared to Li Jue, it was still a bit worse.

He knew that the gap would be even bigger in the future.

Sealed Dashangzao! ?

Li Jue thought about it, and it was not bad.

It's just that his title has been improved. He is still an executioner and has no official position, so he doesn't bear too much responsibility.

Although he, the executioner, is already in the same position as Shangqing, but in this way, it is more suitable for Li Jue to use the Longquan sword to do things.

Cut first and play later, the imperial power franchise.

Li Jue clasped his fists in thanks, while Ying Zheng nodded, and rewarded some gold, silver and jewelry, as well as cloth farms again.

As for Li Jue's official appointment, there has been no change, and he is still the director of the prison in the Ting Wei Department.

It's just that he, the director, is bigger than Zongcheng's title.

That is to say, Tingwei can overwhelm the superior and create a head.

Fu Su hesitated to speak, he seemed to think that the award was too simple, and he wanted to get more rewards for Li Jue.

Li Jue noticed it and quickly stopped it.

Pulling Fu Su aside, he said, "Eldest Young Master, do you want to ask for credit for me?"

Fusu said: "Yes, with your merits, if you don't become a marquis, you should at least be a great master. What is it to be a master!?"

Li Jue said: "My lord, do you think I'm the kind of person who invites credit and rewards?"

Fu Su said: "Of course not, but I'm not doing justice to you."

Li Jue said: "My lord, what you should do is not to ask for credit for me, but to try to find out the insider who is colluding with the thieves in the court, and to practice your own semi-immortal skills. Don't do anything else. Done."

Seeing that Fusu was still persistent, Li Jue said: "You ask for credit for me, should I thank you, or Your Majesty?"

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, he was not stupid, and instantly understood what Li Jue meant.

Then he cupped his fists and said, "I've been taught."

Li Jue is very satisfied. It seems that Fusu's political vision is still good, he can support him, and he can become emperor in the future.

Afterwards, everyone took a short rest before getting ready to go again and went directly to the other side.

This time it went very smoothly, without any problems.

Everyone started to move on.

However, everyone did not expect that Li Jue gradually left the team and returned to the Huaihe River.

Li Jue looked at the Huaihe River, hesitated for a moment, and then used the water-avoiding tactic, and a halo appeared around his body.

Afterwards, the body was covered with black armor, only showing his face, and then he jumped into the Huaihe River.

He came back alone without telling everyone, and stepped into the Huaihe River.

Just to find the truth of the matter.
