Chapter 98
The destined person of this world is an orphan who is not valued in a small borderland.
This orphan was abandoned on the roadside by someone unknown when he was young, and was picked up by a poor farmer and taken home. However, the family was too poor to support him, so they had to ask others to raise him.
However, they didn't know who was willing to take him away, so the farmer set a price, and the person who was willing to bid would definitely be willing to take him away.
The farmer's idea was not wrong, but the person who offered to buy him did not regard him as a child, but was prepared to make him into a suitable gift.
At first, he was a gift to the king.
But before he could be presented, their king was captured.
Because of the defeat.
The one who defeated them was the world of truth under the pseudonym Green.
Green's identity in this area is the foster father of the current founding emperor. The other party intends to let him enjoy his old age, so he has been given another identity.
He is both the emperor and the general.
He attacked here this time to carry out official business and to crack down on the restless tribes. He did not expect that the other party's fighting power was insufficient and was defeated all at once.
The current situation is that he has sent the message back and needs to bring some captives back to Beijing to celebrate. The other defeated people must wait until he returns and consult the current emperor before dealing with them separately.
Theoretically, he has no right to deal with captives, and he was not interested in these things.
When the current emperor was not yet emperor, he was by his side. At
that time, he also went to the battlefield, and the other party's requirements for him were not high, and now the requirements have not become higher.
However, his reputation seemed to have spread during these years of fighting on the battlefield, so that some enemy troops were afraid before the battle, which showed that his fighting ability had increased.
After he returned to report, the emperor had no opinion on how to deal with the prisoners, but he had heard that some of the prisoners were particularly disobedient, so he told him not to be polite to them.
"If you are not willing to speak up, let me do it. Anyway, it's nothing for me to do this."
The emperor said to Green.
"If you are willing to do it, then I will leave it to you."
Green always felt very tired, so he didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. Since someone was willing to help, he didn't have to do it himself, so he simply pushed the matter to someone else.
The emperor nodded.
"Then we have a deal."
The emperor said to Green.
"Okay."
Green replied.
After that, Green received an imperial edict from the emperor.
The person who delivered the imperial edict said that the content of the imperial edict was about how to deal with the captives he brought back. He received the imperial edict and found that things seemed to be a little different from what he imagined.
"Your Majesty gave me the gift that was originally intended for the king of the small tribe among the captives?"
Green repeatedly confirmed and got a positive answer.
He received the imperial edict, thanked the person and sent him out. When he turned around, the gift was standing in front of him. He was shocked.
Because this distance is really suitable for assassination, especially under the premise that he and the other party have a grudge, he has to be more cautious.
"Did those people send you here just now?"
Green looked at this destined man and asked.
"Yes, they sent me here. Before they sent me here, they gave me time to take a shower and wash my hair, and changed me into new clothes, new shoes, and even a new headband."
He seemed to hesitate before saying the rest of the words.
"I'm clean now, you can do whatever you want to me."
He said in a very low voice.
If Green hadn't been standing in front of him, he would have almost not heard what he said.
"I don't think that's what they meant by sending you here."
Green pulled the corner of his mouth, and his voice trembled a little.
He didn't mean that at first, but when he thought about the possibility of such a thing in the other person's mind, he found it difficult to imagine what kind of image he was in the other person's mind, and it felt like a very scary state.
"But I don't know anything else."
He whispered.
"What's your name?"
Green asked.
"I don't have a name. Before, they called me a gift."
He whispered.
"Then do you have any name you want?"
Just in case Green asked again.
"No, I haven't read any books before, and I don't know what name is better. You can give me a name. Any name is fine."
He replied.
"Your complexion looks like fresh cream. I like cream. What do you think of cream?"
Green looked at his face carefully and asked him.
He knew what cream was, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay."
From then on, his name was Cream.
"What are you going to do here? After all, you are someone sent by His Majesty's imperial decree. I can't let you do chores or serve tea and water like other people.
That would be disrespectful to His Majesty.
And I don't lack such people here."
Green asked him.
"I don't know either. Everything depends on the master's orders."
Cream whispered.
"You said you can't read, right? Then how about you learn to read recently? You don't need to learn a lot, as long as you can recognize the usual letters. This shouldn't be a particularly difficult thing."
Green asked him.
"If this is what the master wants me to do, then I will do it."
Cream thought about it and nodded.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. If you regret it, you can always tell me. I'm not the kind of person who won't allow you to regret it."
Green said to him seriously.
He nodded to show that he had listened, but from his expression, Green felt that he had not listened at all.
Or he just didn't understand.
Never mind, it's normal that you can't correct the other person's thinking in a short time. He didn't live in vain for so many years.
Someone must have taught him something in the past, and it's not all his own ideas that made him what he is now.
So if he wants to become stronger in the future, he can't just rely on other people's ideas.
Sooner or later, he will understand that only his own affairs are the most important in the world. He must also know that he lives for himself, not others.
There is still a long time to go, so take it slow.
Thinking so, Green arranged for someone to take Cream away to learn to read.
Cream was reluctant to leave before leaving.
"Will I be able to see you again in the future?"
He was really good at observing people's expressions. After realizing that Green didn't want to hear him call him master, he immediately changed his words. And he continued to shout without seeing Green frowning or getting angry.
"If you want to see me, I can find time to see you. Usually I don't have anything particularly important. It's just that I may not have a fixed time to see you. You shouldn't mind, right?"
Green asked.
"If I learn to read very quickly and very well, can I ask the teacher to tell you that I want to see you as a reward?"
Cream asked tentatively.
"Of course."
Green smiled at him.
"Then let's make a deal, okay?"
Cream asked cautiously.
"Okay."
Green nodded and answered him.
He stretched out his hand, and at least one little finger was sticking out.
"Hang yourself by pulling the hook, and you are not allowed to change it for a hundred years. Can you pull the hook with me, sir?"
Cream asked with a smile.
"Well, hang yourself by pulling the hook!"
Green stretched out his little finger and cooperated with him, feeling like he was playing a game with a child.
Retracting his hand, Cream followed the teacher out.
Green also returned to his room.
Cream turned his head very accurately when Green just turned around, and he muttered to himself in an almost inaudible voice: "A liar has to swallow a thousand needles."
After saying that, he smiled, and soon, the smile disappeared.
At lunch time, someone came over and asked him what he wanted to eat.
"The name given to me by the sir is Cream. I want to meet Cream. I have never eaten Cream before. Can I eat Cream at noon today?"
He asked the person who asked him in a pitiful tone.
The man was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with pity. At this time, he was probably thinking that there are such poor people in the world, so he should at least give him a full meal.
"Don't worry, I will ask. If the kitchen has it, I will bring it to you. Even if it is not available this time, I will give it to you the first time next time, okay?"
the servant asked.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Cream thanked very politely.
The servant thought he was very polite, so he nodded happily and left. When he arrived at the kitchen, there was no cream in the kitchen. He sighed and was a little disappointed.
But he changed his mind and thought that if he told the adults about this, the adults would find a way.
He reported the matter to Green.
After Green knew about this, he thought that a portion of butter was no big deal, so he asked someone to collect a portion of butter and send it to the kitchen. After the kitchen processed it, it was served to Butter as lunch.
"This is something that the master specially asked someone to find, otherwise the kitchen would not have such good things. The young master is really loved by the master."
The servant said when delivering the things.
Butter heard these words, tasted the butter that was delivered, and felt that it was too sweet in his heart, but he smiled and thanked everyone without saying a bad word.
After he finished the lunch that was delivered to him, he said that his appetite was small and he didn't need too much food, so everyone could save some trouble in the future.
The person who delivered the things was happy because he thought he didn't need to carry a lot of things in the future.
The people in the kitchen were also happy because they thought they could cook less food in the future.
Others were happy about other things, but these things were all because of Butter.
Naiyou has been here for only two or three days, but he has already caused such a sensation that Green cannot ignore him.
Green plans to find an opportunity to visit him in two days.
Before Green finds the opportunity, Naiyou takes the initiative to bring this opportunity to him.
After teaching Naiyou for a period of time, the teacher who taught Green to read found that Naiyou had made rapid progress. He was very happy and came to Green to praise this student.
"He has a good talent and learns very quickly. If he didn't know a single word before, he is doing really well now."
