Chapter 257: Tricking Father into giving him a talent

Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong knew the Princess of Qin's outgoing personality, but when they saw her dressed in women's clothing, they could not forget her extremely noble status, and they were inevitably respectful and reserved.

Kou Zhun was even more shocked by the sudden change of the Luo brothers' status, and was a little unprepared, and was reserved and uneasy.

Fortunately, the Princess of Qin had a carefree and generous personality, and the second son of the Luo family, who seemed to be carefree but actually had a clear mind, kept making jokes to liven up the atmosphere. After three glasses of wine, the reservedness and uneasiness disappeared, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious and intimate.

Luo Li said with a friendly smile: "Mr. Kou, I heard that you are doing well in Weishi County! Once the three-year term is over, you will be promoted and make a fortune. This princess has a sharp eye and I saw at first glance that Kou Zhun is no ordinary man. One day, he will be successful and hold a high position."

Luo Li's ill intentions in trying to win over Kou Zhun had already been exposed by her second brother, so she straightforwardly pointed out her original purpose of taking the initiative to make friends with him.

Kou Zhun put down his chopsticks and said humbly: "Princess, you are too kind. As a local official, Kou Zhun has only been doing practical things for the people. Whether he can be promoted will depend on nature. As for getting rich, Kou Zhun does not bother to make money by relying on the privileges of his official position."

Luo Wenhao raised his glass and complimented him: "Brother Kou has a strong character and keeps himself clean. In the future he will surely be a great official who will be loved by the people and will be remembered for generations."

Kou Zhun sighed: "Kou Zhun became a disciple of our mentor, Lord Luo, and has been wholeheartedly following his integrity and honesty. But, while we are sitting here drinking and chatting, I wonder how much our mentor, who is trapped in the prison of Western Shu, has suffered!" When he spoke to the end, his voice choked with sadness.

Luo Li and Luo Wenhao, brother and sister, smiled secretly, thinking that our father, as the highest local official in Sichuan, was in charge of the overall situation in the Chengdu government office!

This matter could not be made clear, so Luo Li and Luo Wenhao could only pretend to be sad and heartbroken. As a son and a daughter, they shed a few tears of filial piety for their father who was in prison.

Luo Li thought about the idea she had discussed with Zhao Defang, and told him the purpose of inviting Kou Zhun to dinner today: "Brother Kou Zhun, I know you are a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, so I recommended you to my father, who never accepted disciples, so that he would break his rules and accept you as his student.

Now my father is imprisoned in Western Shu, and as his children, we wish we could take his place in his suffering.

As a girl and the Princess of Qin, it is not convenient for me to visit and rescue my father. My second brother... was busy running around in the winter and caught a cold. He became tuberculosis after a long illness... and there is no way he can travel long distances to Shu." When

Luo Li said this, Luo Wenhao was confused and didn't know what his sister was up to. But the brother and sister had a very high degree of tacit understanding. In line with the younger sister's words, they coughed violently, their faces flushed, tears streamed down their cheeks, and they looked weak and out of breath.

Cao Wei and Kou Zhun hurriedly patted his back, handed him water, and took care of this patient suffering from tuberculosis.

Luo Laoer's reaction ability and acting skills are so strong! Luo Li gave the second brother a rewarding look.

Then she said: "My second brother and I are worried about our father, but we can't go to Sichuan to visit him. Kou Zhun, once a teacher, always a father! Since you have become my father's disciple, you are half his son. Otherwise, you can go to Sichuan to visit our father on behalf of the three of us brothers and sisters?" Kou

Zhun, who was patting Luo Wenhao on the back to calm him down, was stunned!

Cao Wei was also stunned for a moment, laughing in his heart, wondering what tricks the Princess of Qin was going to play next?

Only Gao Yingxiong, who was upright, generous and most loyal, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and said with great loyalty: "I should go! As the only disciple of Lord Luo, Kou Zhun should go to visit his teacher when he is in trouble and try to rescue him!"

Kou Zhun was really in trouble. When his teacher is in trouble, the disciple should go to visit him and try to rescue him, but the journey to Shu is long and difficult. It takes more than a month to go back and forth. As a local official of the court, how could he have more than a month of free time?

If he was dismissed from his post for being away for more than a month without permission, he would have studied hard for more than ten years and finally passed the imperial examination to be appointed as a county magistrate. Would his future be ruined before he could realize his lifelong ambitions?

Kou Zhun was hesitant, but when he saw the expectant eyes of Princess Qin and Luo Erge and heard Gao Yingxiong's righteous words, Cao Wei silently looked at his eyes and made up his mind!

"Oh my god! My mentor was imprisoned and tortured by the rebels. Kou Zhun was the only disciple of my mentor and was deeply grateful to him. He went to Xishu to visit my mentor who was imprisoned and tried to rescue him. If the superiors blame me, I will quit my job as the county magistrate!"

Cao Wei clapped his hands and praised, "Great! Brother Kou Zhun is loyal and righteous. We have made the right friends. Brother Kou, don't worry. Give your superiors a note asking for leave, and I will ask my father to say a few good words for you in front of Lord Xu, the acting prefect of Kaifeng, and you will not be dismissed as the county magistrate."

Gao Yingxiong also said loyally, "Brother Kou, I will ask my father to say a lot of good things for you when I go home, and ask Lord Xu to approve your leave." , I won’t let you go. Luo Wenhao

patted Kou Zhun's shoulder with tears of gratitude, his eyes filled with tears and his voice choked with sobs: "Brother, from now on, you are my biological brother!" Kou Zhun clasped his fists and bowed in a circle, saying, "

Thank you brothers for your support. I, Kou Zhun, will decide if I will be allowed to take a leave of absence at the summit or to dismiss my official position." Luo Li said lightly and inappropriately: "

Kou Zhun, don't worry, it won't be a pity even if this big magistrate of Po County is dismissed. From now on, I will ensure that you become a bigger official, so that your lofty ideals and talents can be displayed." "

Kou Zhun didn't take it seriously and just thought it was Princess Qin who had a brain disease and was talking nonsense. He just smiled faintly: "Princess, second brother, since you have decided to go to Xishu to visit my teacher, I will set off as soon as possible. If

you have any things or letters to bring to my teacher, please prepare them quickly and send them to my house."

Luo Li thought for a while, "Kou Zhun, you will set off tomorrow and ride as fast as you can to surpass the imperial army to suppress the rebellion. In this way, you can enter Shu safely.

I will send someone to escort you all the way. It is faster to travel light and bring as little as possible. Just bring two letters to your father. When you set out tomorrow, We brothers and sisters will see you off."

Sitting in the carriage back to the hot spring villa, Luo Wenhao smiled slyly, "Little sister, second brother's reaction ability and superb acting skills, are they okay?"

Luo Li smiled and praised, "Yes, yes, it's really great! In terms of cheating, second brother is definitely a unique talent!"

Luo Wenhao was not ashamed but proud, with a proud face, "Of course! When it comes to the skills of cheating, you, Luo Li, are the best in the world, and I, Luo Laoer, am the second best in the world!"

Luo Li was stunned! Then he laughed, "Second brother, this is the crown of the best swindler in the world.

This time, we worked together to lure Kou Zhun to Western Sichuan and tricked a talent for father. The vast land of Sichuan is waiting for Kou Zhun to display his talents and lofty ambitions."
