My country, you can pinch it

Liu Ke could never have imagined it, he scratched his head, the people who thought about it day and night had already assigned him tasks for the next few years, and without realizing it, he was now counting the days and waiting for Shang Jinling's reply.

"It's too slow, shouldn't it take ten days to go back and forth?" Liu Ke dismissed the housekeeper disappointed.

Xiao Tuanzi was listening to Liu Ke's nagging, and was left speechless.

"Tuanzi, do you think you might be delayed on the road, or have you encountered horse thieves and bandits?"

Xiaotuanzi didn't feel like talking.

"Why don't you send someone to take a look?"

Xiaotuanzi looked up at the ceiling.

"I'm asking you, what kind of garlic are you pretending to be?"

Xiaotuanzi took a deep breath, "Oh my lord, who in the northwest would dare to intercept the messengers of the Shang family? Aren't you afraid that several generals will wipe them out?" He almost raised his head to the sky and screamed, "Besides, There is nothing worth grabbing from this messenger, so you are too worried!"

Liu Ke thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the same reason, but the question came up, "Then why hasn't it arrived until now, Ling Ling will never forget it?"

Xiaotuanzi said: "It's not so fast, it's only been ten days! It's not the rush to move the rescuers back then. This time, I must walk slowly, otherwise the young master's body will not be able to bear it."

Liu Ke was startled when he heard the words, and rubbed his chin, "Yes, it's my master who wants to go wrong, so wait a little longer."

Xiaotuanzi thought that it finally calmed down, but before he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Liu Ke whispering again: "Tuanzi, I'm thinking about it, you said that the Shang family knows what I'm thinking, did Ling Ling also find out? "

Xiaotuanzi: "..." Why did it start again?

Is this the virtue of unrequited love?Xiaotuanzi thought it was incredible when he recalled how Liu Ke swore to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

He said with difficulty: "Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth?"

If Liu Ke would come down with a single brainstorm, he would have to scold him, nonsense.

But at this moment, this person still hesitated, Xiaotuanzi was absolutely amazed.

In the end, Liu Ke, who was not yet deceiving himself, nodded, "The truth."

"According to the servant's observation, with the exquisite heart of the young master, he should know."

"It's over, it's over, he must want to hide away..." Liu Ke's face fell instantly.

Xiaotuanzi couldn't figure it out, "Your Highness, isn't this better?"

"What a fart, he must have ignored me!"

"But won't you be able to give up completely in this way?"

What was said at the beginning, you can't be selfish, you can't indulge, you must bury your friendship in your heart, make each other perfect, and don't become a hideous person like the emperor... Thinking back to those words, Xiaotuanzi still feels very sad for the master, and was moved to tears, but Unexpectedly, Liu Ke, who speaks nicely, has never walked in this direction, and his duplicity is better than anyone else.

"I want to, but what can I do if I don't want to?" Liu Ke said confidently.

Xiaotuanzi: "..." Anyone who is sad for Liu Ke is a dog.

"You say it's really weird. I've been with him for more than three months with all my plans. Why do you care so much?" Liu Ke's face was full of sincere doubts.

Xiaotuanzi said slowly: "You don't even know, how could the servant know?"

"stupid."

Xiaotuanzi: "..."

"It should be because he is different, and it is Taihe Lord's wish." Liu Ke took it for granted.

You are so smart, then hang on this tree and don't come down!

Liu Ke stroked his chin and thought, "Do you think Yue Lao gave birth to the wrong gender for us, one of us is actually a girl?"

Xiaotuanzi: "..." He really couldn't imagine Liu Ke's appearance as a princess, and with such terrible virtues, he couldn't help but said with difficulty, "If you were a princess, the young master would probably not dare to approach you and hide away Far."

"That's right, an emperor like you doesn't even dare to let me go with your relatives." Liu Ke said knowingly, "Then he has to be changed. If Ling Ling is a girl...hehe."

No, is it interesting to fantasize here?Xiaotuanzi looked at the distracted Liu Ke with a dazed expression, but couldn't understand what his master was thinking.

After a while, Liu Ke woke up from his sweet dream, patted his cheeks twice, and muttered: "No, no, I have to think of a way, I can't keep doing this, or I will be lovesick like the idiot in the story book .”

You are very ill, Your Highness!Xiaotuanzi felt that it was too difficult for him.

Just as he was talking, a servant came to report, "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao is here."

Before Liu Ke could answer, Xiaotuanzi hurriedly said, "Quickly, please come in Master Zhao." Hurry up and find something serious to do, otherwise Liu Ke will definitely suffer from hysteria.

Zhao Bufan is now the most useful person around Liu Ke. Although he is not yet a serious official, Liu Ke has already asked for credit for him. Not surprisingly, the fifth-rank Zhizhou and the fifth-rank general judge can be one.

However, according to the emperor's suspicious character, it was inevitable that Liu Ke would run amok and lawless in Yongliang, so the magistrate probably had to send another one to monitor or restrain him.On the other hand, in order to appease him, Zhizhou's deputy general judge will be Liu Ke's own.

Zhao Bufan saluted respectfully, and Liu Ke waved his hand, telling him to speak directly.

Zhao Bufan said: "Your Highness, I have listed all the vacant official positions in Yongliang City, please have a look."

He had a brochure in his hand, and Xiao Tuanzi took it and presented it to Liu Ke, who casually flipped through it and said with a sneer, "This is basically empty."

"Yes, the Zhang family is very powerful and involves a lot of things. Few of them are clean. Furthermore, according to your instructions, the people of Yongliang have to redress their grievances, so there are very few who can stay."

"With so many officials imprisoned, didn't there be any chaos?" Liu Ke asked.

Zhao Bufan replied: "The lower officials are also worried about this, so some of the chief officials did not move, so as to maintain the daily operation, which can barely support for the time being."

Liu Ke nodded after hearing this, and gave him an appreciative look, "This king is lucky. He was able to keep you among the bandits. He really is a capable person."

"Your Majesty's kindness, I have nothing to repay, I can only repay His Majesty's worries with my heart." Zhao Bufan said this from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Liu Ke, he would either have become an inhuman bandit at this moment, or he would have been abandoned at the foot of a mountain.

Liu Ke is still satisfied with Zhao Bufan. The youngest son of the Zhang family who fled has been found. According to the law, the Zhang family ransacked all over the house. Liu Ke watched coldly, and there was no torture before he died here, and he used torture privately to vent his anger. .The same is true for the interrogation of officials. At least the case presented is not suspicious in Liu Ke's view.

"Don't worry, follow me, your future is indispensable. You can take these vacant seats first as you see who can take them."

This is how much trust, which surprised Zhao Bufan, "Your Highness?"

"Why, there is no one in your hand?" Liu Ke saw Zhao Bufan move his eyes, playing with the jade ring on his finger, and said casually, "No, no one in Yongliang now knows that you, Mr. Zhao, are in front of this king. If you are a famous celebrity, why don't you actively recommend yourself, so that you can catch your eye?"

"This..." Zhao Bufan had a little cold sweat on his forehead, "Forgive me, Your Highness, there are too few people who can use it, so I just mentioned a few temporarily, and I didn't tell His Highness."

This is the truth, no matter how capable Zhao Bufan is, there is only one person, plus some colleagues or subordinates who have known each other before, it is impossible to sort out the big and small cases in Yongliang in a short time, and maintain the daily operation of the government without any trouble. It is bound to support, or call some attached people.

And these, Liu Ke didn't care.

"Think about it too much, it's a good thing." He waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, just bring it up if it's useful, there's no need to shy away from it, after all, it won't be so easy for you to recommend someone in the near future."

The meaning in Liu Ke's words made Zhao Bufan startled. He suddenly understood that a prince must have other people under his command. No matter how many seats are vacated, there are too few.

Furthermore, once the magistrate is appointed, Liu Ke can't just give some positions.

Liu Ke being able to remind him like this is because of his trust and affirmation in Zhao Bufan, allowing him to become a force of his own and to be used by him.This made Zhao Bufan very happy, and he was even more devoted to Liu Ke. He said gratefully: "Thank you Your Highness, I will definitely recommend more competent people, and I will never disappoint Your Highness's trust."

Liu Ke nodded. When Master Wang sends people, he will definitely want to use them. He reserved a seat in advance, so as to see what these "talented people" can do?

When he chose Yongliang and broke away from Master Wang's arrangements, Liu Ke and Master Wang became a mutual game and cooperation relationship. How could those "talented people" just help him, presumably like the emperor.

So in comparison, he trusts Zhao Bufan who has nothing and his interests are all tied to him.

The little Yongliang quickly became a place of contention for many forces, but for Liu Ke, no matter who is behind him, he is a small shrimp in front of him, if he is not obedient, then click.

Zhao Bufan left complacently.

And as soon as he left, Liu Ke suddenly paralyzed and lamented: "It's really troublesome, Tuanzi, hurry up and find a way for me."

"what?"

"Cure Master Zhi's lovesickness, and miss him as soon as it stops."

Hongluan hasn't moved for 20 years. This movement is like a house on fire. What's wrong?

Xiaotuanzi's face was full of worry, and he also felt that this disease really needed to be cured quickly, otherwise Liu Ke would have a hair attack twice in three days, he couldn't stand it!

After thinking about it, he said: "There is one, and His Highness is probably not happy."

"Say."

"In case I made a mistake..."

"I won't punish you." Liu Ke agreed without hesitation.

Xiao Tuanzi then cleared his throat and said, "Then please Your Highness invite all the beauties from Yongliang to fill your backyard. After empathizing with each other, you will surely heal without medicine."

Xiaotuanzi thinks this idea is very good, once and for all.

However... Liu Ke looked at him with dead eyes.

Xiao Tuanzi swallowed, and at this moment, another report came from outside: "Your Highness, there is a barbarian girl asking to see you. Her name is Duo Erduo, and she said that you know her, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Liu Ke said with a blank expression, "It's not your arrangement, is it?"

Xiaotuanzi shook his head in fright, "No, without your permission, how dare a slave!"

"That's good, otherwise, I really have to consider changing someone around me."

This dangerous tone made Xiaotuanzi shrink back.

Finally Liu Ke said: "Let her go, I don't know her."

After waiting for five days, Liu Ke finally received Shang Jinling's letter of safety, and his uneasy heart fell to the ground, and his face, which almost turned into a resentful woman, immediately beamed with joy, and he couldn't wait to open the letter.

Xiao Tuanzi slowly approached, waiting for Liu Ke to share his joy, but he didn't respond for a long time, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Your Highness, what did the young master write?"

Liu Ke said slowly, "He arrived safely."

"That's a good thing, it means that the young master still values ​​you, what else?"

"Gone."

Xiaotuanzi opened his mouth, gone?

Liu Ke wanted to cry but said without tears: "Tuanzi, does he really not want to talk to me, just a few words!"

Xiaotuanzi stretched out his hand, expressing that he wanted to take a look.

Liu Ke handed it to him, full of resentment.

It is true that Shang Jinling only had a few lines of writing, and the first line was as literal as face, addressing His Highness King Ning in a very polite tone.

The second line expresses that he arrived safely at Xilinghou's Mansion, please don't read it, Your Highness.

The third line said that he had sent greetings to the Marquis of Xiling on behalf of Liu Ke, and thanked His Highness very much, specifically referring to those charcoal, those medicinal materials, those furs, and the doctor.

Finally, please take care of His Royal Highness Prince Ning.

One, two, three, four, polite and courteous, you can't go wrong anywhere, Xiaotuanzi looked at it, wondering: "Isn't this a lot of writing? The young master is very polite, and he doesn't want to talk to you!"

"Are you blind or something?"

"..." Xiaotuanzi opened his mouth, thinking that he was scolded for not receiving the letter, but he was scolded for receiving it. It was too wronged.

"Look, the tone is so unfamiliar. Except for the first sentence, it's all routine nonsense. Besides, don't ask me if I'm eating well or sleeping well?"

Xiaotuanzi thought that Shang Jinling was crazy to write like that.

"Even if you ask me about the current situation of Yongliang City, I can write back to him!"

Understood, Xiaotuanzi suddenly realized from the last sentence that feelings are for you to come and go.

He smashed his mouth and looked at his master with amazed eyes. He has always been a rough man, but now his thoughts have become so delicate.

As for the nonsense about being separated from each other and everyone being safe, Xiaotuanzi no longer takes it seriously.

He said: "Your Highness, if you don't ask the young master, you can ask yourself, is he in such a poor health, will he get sick? Is it suitable for him in Shacheng? What is the Marquis of Xiling like? Why don't you take the initiative?"

"It makes sense." Liu Ke shook off his frustration and cheered up, but after taking two steps, he hesitated and said, "But will this make my grandfather seem too attentive and cause him distress?"

When have you been so understanding?Can this kind of thinking be given to the loyal servant who has followed since childhood?

Xiaotuanzi wiped his face and said tiredly, "Then you can figure it out."

Liu Ke finally thought twice, handed an envelope full to Xiao Tuanzi early the next morning, and said in a nonchalant tone, with a kind tone: "Let someone deliver it, don't rush too much."

Xiaotuanzi: "..." It's heavy, what did it write?

Liu Ke, who has always been a poor writer, came late and left early every day in the study, and was so mad at his master, that one day he was able to write a letter so eloquently that the envelope was almost torn. Who can believe it?

And won't this really scare the young master?Xiaotuanzi expressed doubts.

"I didn't write anything. Isn't Lingling very concerned about Yongliang? I just wrote a little bit about the recent situation to let him know. I didn't write a single word." Liu Ke seemed to see Xiaotuanzi's doubts and couldn't help it. explained.

But which prince would tell people this in such detail, ask Zhao Bufan, will he be shocked?

Xiaotuanzi can only be astounded if he wants to cover it up to this extent.Of course, these are not important. As a slave, Xiaotuanzi only needs to complete the tasks assigned by the master.

So he didn't talk too much, and let people rush to Shacheng happily.

Although Liu Ke expressed that he was not in a hurry, but with his many years of serving experience, and the occasional lovesickness, he will start urging letters again in a few days
