Chen Wei and Yuan Fu followed the main road and arrived at the county town first.
The King of Wu liked hustle and bustle, so after coming to this dilapidated county, he abolished the original curfew system and encouraged people to go out to do business at night. King Wu also liked to visit the night market after dark and buy some grilled fish, grilled shrimp and fine wine.
The King of Wu often patrolled the night market at night.
With this great Buddha around, thieves and bandits dare not show up. The security in the night market is good, and more and more restaurants, inns, rouge shops and people from all walks of life are opening there.
"Buy some dry food at the night market, and then leave Wu County and head straight to the imperial capital. Donglin Elementary School, if you're fast, you can reach the imperial capital in five or six days." Chen Wei bought a map of Donglin Kingdom at the night market, calculating the journey to Donglin Imperial Capital.
Just as Shen Wei was rapidly thinking about the route, she heard discussions not far away.
"What does the notice posted at the Wu Palace say?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Wu is going to visit the Kingdom of Qing and is looking for a guide who is proficient in the culture of Qing, as well as cooks and servants to accompany him."
"There are dozens of fishing villages in our broken county, and the people have been fishing for generations. Who understands Qingguo?"
"There have been a lot of foreign businessmen coming to Wu County recently. Maybe some of them have been to Qing Country."
Shen Wei walked over to the newly posted notice.
She read the notice at a glance and her eyes lit up instantly.
...
...
The Prince of Wu's Palace was brightly lit at night.
King Zhao Ziqi of Wu couldn't sleep, so he walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. He sighed, walked to the huge bronze mirror next to the desk, and looked at himself in the mirror.
In terms of appearance, he is still the most handsome in the east.
Behavior is still the most elegant in the east.
But he knew that his handsome and elegant life might not last long.
"Your Highness, I bought your favorite grilled squid at the night market. Please try it." The guard came in with a bowl of grilled squid.
The King of Wu closed his eyes, pushed away the bowl of squid, and said in a hoarse and vicissitudes voice: "My life is hanging by a thread, how can I eat now? Hey, the State Master of Yue said that I have great luck and will meet a noble person to help me after I turn 20. It seems that his divination is not true."
The King of Wu was sad.
When he was five years old, his elder sister Princess Zhenmin was sent to Qing Kingdom to marry. Wu Wang was feeling depressed and urinated on the beach silently, cursing his father and crying as he urinated.
Maybe he cried so miserably that he was seen by the Yue State's Imperial Master who was passing by.
The immortal-like man told him that he was destined to be extremely rich and powerful. Life is only hard in the first twenty years. After you turn twenty, as long as you are kind-hearted, you will meet very noble people who will help you and you will live a peaceful and wealthy life for the rest of your life.
At that time, the King of Wu was sobbing and wiping his tears. After listening to the words of the national teacher, he asked casually: "Then is my future wife pretty?"
The imperial master's divination plate turned for a long time, and the imperial master replied: "You will meet an extraordinary woman."
The national teacher seemed to have foreseen something else. His face became extremely solemn and he turned and left.
The King of Wu kept the Imperial Master's words firmly in mind.
He endured many years of suffering alone in the Donglin royal family. He endured the torture of the palace servants, the ridicule of his thirty-nine brothers and the contempt of his dozen younger brothers. Finally, when he was twenty years old, he left the imperial capital and came to the poor place of Wu County.
Unexpectedly, before the land had even warmed up, disaster struck and he was sent by his father to escort tribute.
A job with no chance of survival.
King Wu sighed, looking at his handsome face in the mirror: "It's been so long since I posted the notice to recruit talented people, but no one has answered the call yet. Alas, since ancient times, handsome men have had a short life."
The guard reminded him awkwardly, "It's only been two hours since the notice was posted. It's not long."
King Wu raised his foot and kicked the guard: "You are the only one who talks too much."
At this time, another guard came from outside the house and reported: "Your Majesty, someone has revealed the list!"
The King of Wu was overjoyed and went to the gate of the palace to greet him in person.
As night fell, the red lights outside the palace gate cast a red glow all over the ground. The King of Wu strode closer and saw a slender figure in the distance.
He was slightly surprised.
Such a slim and beautiful back. In the night illuminated by palace lanterns, that figure had a sense of otherworldly beauty, like a sage in a picture book.
Oh, what a thin waist.
Ouch, these legs are so long.
What a pity - it's a man.
The young man with a thin and handsome back slowly turned around, revealing a slightly dark and rough face with a palm-sized black birthmark on the right cheek. He had slightly curly black hair tied on top of his head with a gray cloth strip. He was wearing fisherman's rag clothes and hemp rope slippers.
He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and was thin and small, probably because he had not eaten enough for a long time.
The King of Wu took one look at the young man and secretly looked down upon him. He thought that his back view was quite good-looking, but it was a pity that his appearance was so ugly.
It’s so ugly that it even looks familiar.
"I am Chen Wei, a humble servant. I saw the notice outside the palace and came here to recommend myself. I am willing to be your guide," Shen Wei, who was dressed as a man, bowed and saluted politely to King Wu.
King Wu showed disdain on his face: "You look like a native fisherman with your skin. Do you understand the customs and habits of Qing Kingdom?"
Shen Wei replied: "Mastery."
She didn't lie.
She knew Qing State so well that she even knew the color of the Qing State's retired emperor's underwear.
The day for escorting tribute is imminent. Wu County is almost entirely populated by locals, and few people know about the Kingdom of Qing. King Wu had no choice but to let Shen Wei into the house.
In the study, King Wu held a white jade fan in his hand and sat crookedly on a chair: "You claim to be proficient in Qing State, then I will test you."
Shen Wei: "Please ask questions, Your Majesty."
King Wu first asked a few simple questions about the Kingdom of Qing, and Shen Wei answered them fluently.
