Chapter 149: Don't endure hardships for a lifetime
Chapter 150
Pei Xi subconsciously took a step back, did something strange mix in, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird.
"Your Excellency?" Pei Xizhi stared at the lewd man in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Brother, I am General Cheng's seat Xu Shenji, of course, I am all working for the King of Youzhou. ”
Pei Xizhi had heard of the name Xu Shenji, and he had already done a certain investigation on Toad Village before he came. It is said that this person is cunning and cunning, and he is Cheng Dalei's right-hand man, and most of Cheng Dalei's bad ideas are from him.
But he didn't see where his resourcefulness was, hunched over, bowed his head, with a smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with what should be hidden in it...... Flattering.
That's right, it's flattery, and even a little jealousy. After all, everyone eats with their heads, why do you glorify your ancestors under the throne of Youzhou, but you can only follow a thief, and it is natural to be a little envious, jealous and hateful.
In this way, Pei Xizhi consciously judged Toad Village's attitude towards himself, and his previous worries were completely unfounded.
He coughed lightly, held his head high, and said, "Lead the way." ”
On the way, although Xu Shenji tried his best to flatter, Pei Xizhidu deliberately put on an indifferent face and kept a distance from the other party. Even if you want to show favor to Toad Village this time, if you are too polite to Toad Village, the other party will often gain an inch. For this gang of bandits, it's better to give a sweet date with a stick.
Since the other party has such an attitude, it seems that this mission will not be too difficult. I don't know how the other party will entertain himself when he arrives at the cottage. I can't say that in order to let themselves say a few kind words in front of the king of Youzhou for them, they will also give some silver, women or something.
In this way, this mission may still be a bit oily.
Xu Shenji led them to the Flying Tiger Village.
"I came this time to order the king of Youzhou to come and see the situation in Toad Village. Of course, whether it is good or bad, that is, a word of brother. ”
"Understood, understood. Xu Shenji said: "Master Pei has worked hard all the way, he must not have eaten yet, in order to entertain Lord Pei, we have already prepared the meal." ”
Pei Xizhi nodded slightly, the words have been ordered to you, what to do next, it depends on whether you understand or not.
On the long table, Pei Xizhi and others sat in the main seat, accompanied by Xu Shenji and seventeen or eighteen thieves.
Looking at the meal in front of him, Pei Xizhi fell into a long speechlessness. Is the pot of things with tree roots floating called soup, and the black stone-like thing in front of me, is it the staple food?
"Shall we eat this?" Pei Xizhi said in disbelief. As for the imaginary chicken, duck and fish, there are beautiful women singing songs with them, and enjoying the song and dance while drinking.
"Ha, Lord Pei has a mouthful, we usually can't eat these, hey, a few of you are also stained with Master Pei's light today, pay attention to me, don't gobble it up. ”
"......" Pei Xizhi.
Okay, okay, eating is a trivial matter, it seems that the toad village is really poor enough, they shouldn't be glad they didn't bring human flesh, right, it's good to taste what they eat on weekdays.
"Stop!"
When Pei Xizhi just wanted to take the food mixed with wild vegetables and grass noodles, he was stopped by Xu Shenji. Pei Xizhi was startled, why didn't he even eat this.
"Don't worry, Master Pei, you haven't prayed yet. ”
"Pray...... What is it?"
I saw Xu Shenji clasping his hands together, facing the food on the table reverently, muttering something in his mouth.
"Thank you for the food given to us by the King of Youzhou, the glory of the King of Youzhou shines on the world. ”
"Xu Junshi, who are you?"
"Ha, this is what we must do every day before eating, our village owner worships the king of Youzhou very much, and hangs the portrait of the king of Youzhou in the bedroom, three kowtows in the morning and evening, and incense in the morning. Why, doesn't Master Pei have to pray before eating?"
"We're there...... There is no such rule. ”
I don't know how to finish a meal, if I say that I eat pig food, Pei Xizhi feels that it is an insult to pig food.
Xu Shenji hiccuped and said: "Although everyone is not eating well now, this is what successful people must experience, how to say that sentence, don't endure hardships for a lifetime, and be willing to endure hardships for a while." Thinking about the king of Youzhou back then, he also started from the bottom little by little, and finally became the king of Youzhou that we worshipped. ”
Xu Shenji must mention the king of Youzhou, and his tone and eyes are extremely respectful. And Pei Xizhi found that as long as he heard the three words King of Youzhou, no matter what others were doing, they would stop what they were doing, raise their heads and look ahead.
made Pei Xizhi very embarrassed.
"Today, when a new brother joins our big family, everyone applauds and asks our new brother to tell us about the glorious past of King Youzhou. ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Pei Xizhi, and Pei Xizhi's eyes widened: "Is there this necessary?"
"Doesn't Lord Pei respect the King of Youzhou, doesn't he worship him from the bottom of his heart, doesn't he regard him as the light in his heart?"
"This ......" can't seem to say no to himself.
"It seems that Master Pei is still a little embarrassed, my lord, you have to have the courage to show yourself. In this way, let Master Pei prepare first, and that brother will talk about it first. ”
"I'll come first!" said one of the thieves, and the others looked very sorry for how he had taken the lead.
I saw that this thief took out a piece of paper from his arms with an excited face, and recited in an affectionate aria: "Ah, I have a dream, that is, to become a man like the King of Youzhou." Thinking back then, who killed the enemy like hemp in the golden iron horse, who forgot to sleep and forgot to eat and love the people like a son, who dreamed of sleeping and sleeping at night and never forgot his homeland...... Ah, it's the king of Youzhou, it's the king of Youzhou!"
"Like a detached lamb yearning for the flock, like a lost ship longing for homecoming, longing for the mother's ** to the newborn baby, ah, Youzhou King, you are the flock, you are the hometown, you are the **......"
Pei Xizhi and a few people sat there, stunned, only to see one by one the thieves stand up and recite these things in a sensual tone, which made people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Master Pei, get ready, it's your turn next. Xu Shenji said in a low voice.
"I'm coming to ...... too"
"Well, we're starting with 5,000 words here. ”
"Five thousand words!"
......
In the valley, the toad village.
Cheng Dalei stood on a high place to check the surrounding terrain, and Liu Bei stood next to him.
"Did you really decide to use this method to deal with the people sent by Youzhou?" Liu Bei.
"What can I do, now is not the time to tear my face with the King of Youzhou. "Cheng Dalei.
"But I don't think I can hide it from the king of Youzhou. ”
"If you can hide it for a day, there will be a time when you will stick out each other's teeth, who will make our current teeth not as hard as the king of Youzhou. ”
Cheng Dalei looked at it with great eyes, and the situation in the valley was unobstructed.
