Chapter 459: The Scholars Seeking Opportunities
A scholar then stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness and Princess, I, Qiao Shan, was once a tutor in a town under the jurisdiction of Heishi County. Yamen runners arrested me for indiscriminate arrests, and my family took the matter to the county yamen. Unexpectedly, this brought disaster upon them. Not long after, my family members tragically died for no apparent reason, and now I am the only one left. I wish to stay by your side, and one day, I hope to personally investigate this case and avenge my family."
After saying this, Qiao Shan held his breath and looked at Murong Li nervously.
Murong Li looked at Qiao Shan coldly. This man was really thinking. He said coldly: "This king has already arrested the culprit. What else do you want to investigate?
Is it possible that my ability to handle affairs is not as good as yours? And what right do you, a mere scholar, have to investigate?
Do you want me to give you a small official position?"
Qiao Shan knew he had said the wrong thing. He gasped for breath and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying hurriedly, "I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
He was also possessed by the devil, actually came to say these words to a prince, isn't this seeking death?
The royal prince wanted to kill him, so what could a poor scholar like him do?
"Humph! Get out of here!"
Murong Li didn't want to see this person at all. With such a brain, he was still a teacher. He would make other people's children stupid.
"Yes, yes, thank you for not punishing me, Your Majesty."
Qiao Shan kowtowed loudly and rolled away quickly.
After leaving the house, Qiao Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead, went downstairs with a thud, and went straight out of the inn and out of the city, never daring to stay here again.
The other five people were trembling with fear at this time, neither wanting to leave nor staying, but Prince Li was right in front of them. If they missed today, it would be difficult to see Prince Li in the future, let alone follow them.
A scholar gritted his teeth and said, "Student Wu Qingfeng has met the prince and princess. I am a scholar from the next county. I was captured and forced to work in the mines while traveling for study. Now that I have been rescued, I only want to serve the prince and princess to repay them for saving my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, another scholar stepped forward and said, "I am an orphan with nowhere to go. The princess saved my life, so I must repay her for saving my life. I am willing to serve as a slave and follow her."
"Student Liu Mincai..."
"Student Zhang Yunliang..."
…
The five men's statements were similar: they were all alone, all scholars, and they all wanted to be with the two of them and were willing to be eunuchs.
Su Yue shook her head after hearing what these scholars said. It was a waste that they read the books of sages and were full of calculations.
Everyone knows that even if they work hard and their beards turn white, they may not be able to get a government position.
But with them, anything is possible.
Su Yue didn't want to listen to these people anymore, so she took Qian Qi out of the house and let Murong Li send these people away. He went to meet the Master of Medicine King Valley.
Murong Li's mood sank to the bottom at this moment. He never thought that the scholars of Xifeng Country would be so rude and want to climb up his tree without caring about their dignity.
He was extremely disappointed and heartbroken. If all the scholars in the world were like this, without the pride of a scholar and without knowing the purpose of studying, then what was the point of reading?
It seems that we need to revise the sage books of Xifeng Kingdom.
He said to the five people, "You are all scholars with honors. Now that you have been saved, you should not be obsessed with taking shortcuts, but continue to study hard, win honors with your own abilities, get the future you want, and serve the country.
You all go away, and I will pretend that I have not seen you today."
"Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness. I am ashamed."
The five people's faces turned blue and red after hearing what Murong Li said. If there was a hole in the ground in front of them, they would want to dive into it.
They were all educated people, and they couldn't hold back their pride when someone opened their thoughts in front of them.
After the five people bowed to Murong Li, they hurried out of the house. Just like Qiao Shan before, they were too embarrassed to stay here any longer, so the five people also hurried out of the city.
Murong Li sat alone in the room quietly, thinking about what those people had just said.
On the other side, Su Yin found the master of Yaowang Valley.
When the master of Yaowang Valley saw that it was Su Yue who actually came to find him, he was so excited that he quickly stood up and gave her his seat. He stood in front of Su Yue respectfully.
He said he was the master of Medicine King Valley. The title sounded very impressive, but in reality Medicine King Valley had long since declined, and only he, the valley master, and a medicine boy were left. They were no different from a country doctor.
Su Yue looked at his respectful appearance and asked, "Valley Master is interested in my pills. I believe your medical skills are very good."
The Medicine King Valley Master was respectful and proud. "Not bad. Generally speaking, there is no illness that I cannot cure after I've treated it."
Su Yue raised her eyebrows: “You are talking big.”
The Medicine King Valley Master looked at Su Yue's disbelieving expression and his face darkened: "Princess, do you not believe in my medical skills?"
The princess may not trust his character, but she cannot distrust his medical skills.
The Master of Medicine King Valley looked down on Su Yue a little. When he saw the pills Su Yue took out, he thought that her medical skills were probably not bad, and she was a fellow practitioner like him.
He didn't expect that the other person didn't believe him at all. He wanted to discuss medical skills with her, but now he doesn't want to do that anymore. He might as well go back to Yaowang Valley to study the pill.
"Um."
Su Yue nodded. Even gods wouldn't dare to brag like that. The Medicine King Valley Master actually dared to brag like that. It showed that this person had a bad heart and was probably a boaster.
She doesn't want such a person, no matter how high his medical skills are.
Treating patients is not as simple as eating. Patients may have emergencies at any time during treatment, so there is no 100% treatment rate.
Even in the high-tech era of the end of the world, there are people who cannot be saved, let alone in this era of backward medical care.
Medicine King Valley Master's beard was almost twisted with anger. His hands were shaking as he pointed at Su Yue: "You, you, you... okay, okay... Since the princess doesn't trust my medical skills, then I'm leaving now."
The master of Medicine King Valley shook his sleeves and left in a huff.
Su Yue was still standing there in a daze.
"This Valley Master has a really bad temper. Princess, please don't bother with him."
Seeing Su Yue standing there in a daze, Qian Qi thought she was angry and hurried to comfort her.
"Bring him back."
Su Yue came back to her senses and quickly said, "Why is the Master of Medicine King Valley so angry? Maybe he misunderstood him," she thought.
"Yes, Princess."
Qian Qi didn't understand Su Yue's behavior. The person had already left in anger, so why call him back?
"What's going on?"
Murong Li saw this scene as soon as he arrived and asked.
"It's nothing. The master of Medicine King Valley has a bad temper. He got angry and left after I said something." Su Yue explained.
"Gone?"
Murong Li was surprised. He quickly sent people to chase him. This man couldn't just leave like that. He was useful.
"I asked Qianqi to chase after him."
Su Yue said quickly.
