Chapter 140: Agreement Reached, Testimony Given, Gifts Presented.
[Option selected successfully. Continuing the hidden mission is now confirmed. After selecting to continue the hidden mission, the host can remain in the Great Huang Dynasty indefinitely until the hidden mission is completed before returning to the modern era.]
[The mission rewards will be distributed after the host completes all missions. Please take note.]
Gu Xixi simply gave a faint "hmm," placed the contract in the drawer in front of the cashier, and when she returned to the crowd, the Prince of Zhennan and Lord Wei exchanged a glance.
Lord Wei immediately stepped forward, "Miss Gu, Lord Shen, Lord Chen, let's go outside and sit down to talk in detail."
"I have some matters to discuss with you all. Please come in." The King of Zhen gestured for them to enter. Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu looked at Gu Xixi and bowed in unison, "Your Highness, please go first."
The King's men had set up tables and chairs in the outer courtyard, and even brewed tea, which was steaming hot.
The King of Zhen, Gu Xixi, Shen Qingyan, and Chen Yanxu took their seats, each sitting on one side of the table. Lord Wei was bowing and pouring tea and water for them.
"I don't have any good tea to offer during our march, so please don't mind, everyone." The King of the Town took the lead in picking up his teacup and tasting it, and the others followed suit to give him face.
After finishing his tea, the King of Zhen continued, "The war is urgent and time is of the essence, so I won't beat around the bush."
"I came here today not only to see the rumored Miss Gu, but also because I heard from Wei Ying that Lord Shen and Lord Chen had appeared here, so I made a special trip. I have also heard a little about the deeds of Lord Chen and Lord Shen. Even when the late emperor was alive, there were few officials like these two who devoted themselves to the country and the people."
"Now that a foolish emperor is in power, powerful families occupy most of the positions with influence in the court, causing hardship for the people and leaving no way out for honest officials. I really cannot bear to see the late emperor's hard work destroyed, so I raised an army to punish him, hoping that the world will be at peace again."
The King of the Town sighed, his words subtly testing the attitudes of the others.
Gu Xixi knew that he was laying the groundwork for inviting Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu, but he kept looking at himself and wondering what he meant by it, and also wanted to invite her, hahaha.
"Your Highness's actions are in accordance with the trend of the times and are a blessing to all people." Chen Yanxu put down his teacup, cupped his hands, and expressed his attitude. Shen Qingyan also nodded, "Your Highness's wish is also what we all aspire to."
Hearing the two men's words, the King of Zhen had a better understanding of the situation.
He downed his second cup of tea in one gulp. "In that case, I wonder if Lord Shen and Lord Chen are willing to join me in fulfilling this grand ambition? Wei Ying, bring out the items."
After asking the question, the King of Zhen reached out his hand.
As soon as he raised his hand, Lord Wei immediately placed a stack of yellow silk-wrapped cylinders from his bosom into his palm.
The King of Zhen unfolded the yellow silk cloth and handed it to Chen Yanxu.
Chen Yanxu was immediately shocked when he saw it; it was actually a blank imperial edict!
"This blank imperial edict was personally written by me and stamped with my personal seal. Lord Chen and Lord Shen can fill in the contents themselves. This is my sincerity and my promise."
Gu Xixi was taken aback. She took the blank imperial edict and looked at it. She then changed the angle and showed it to the surveillance camera to record this historic moment.
The king of this town was more charismatic than she had imagined, and he valued Shen Qingyan and her teacher even more.
Indeed, although the two were officials of the previous dynasty, their teacher was Shen Qingyan, who was a representative of integrity and honesty in the hearts of scholars and common people today.
It's no wonder that he received such special treatment.
Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu immediately stood up and bowed to the King of Zhen, saying, "Your Highness is too kind."
"Why would we need Your Highness to go to such lengths?!" Chen Yanxu shook his head. He truly hadn't expected such courtesy, and he really found it hard to refuse this blank imperial edict.
Once the king of the town ascends the throne, the new decrees can be implemented.
Although he could not immediately eliminate all the powerful clans after ascending the throne, and the King of Zhen also needed time to maneuver... when they entered the court as officials, they were still enemies of the powerful clans and were the ones who fought against them.
There are risks, but they're willing to take them!
Those in positions of power have already achieved so much, and the opportunity has been handed to them. Even if all the dangers they have encountered before remain in the future, they will still seize it.
Their original intention has never changed.
"Would the two gentlemen be willing to follow me?" King Zhen asked again, now confident of victory.
Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu, master and apprentice, exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement and folded the blank imperial edict neatly, putting it into their pockets.
Then, the King of Zhen looked at Gu Xixi and said, "Would you be willing to lend me a hand? Although you are a woman, you can still enter the court as an official and become the first model of the new policies."
It sounded quite tempting, but Gu Xixi still shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I must return home after the new policy ends and will not go out again. I'm afraid I cannot stay as I wish."
"But Your Highness and the other officials' grand gesture is truly a blessing for the people, and I am deeply moved. Furthermore, I am on good terms with Lord Shen and Lord Chen, and since they have decided to follow Your Highness, I intend to present Your Highness with five pairs of clairvoyance and clairaudience as a token of my appreciation. I wish Your Highness and the two officials all their wishes fulfilled."
Five pairs would cost at least fifty thousand taels of silver!
Wei Ying silently widened his eyes: Hahaha, his family fortune is saved.
This Miss Gu is truly generous; she only charged for a small amount of rice, but gave away a much more valuable treasure instead.
The King of Zhen was disappointed, regretful, and happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply replied with understanding, "In that case, thank you for your help for the sake of all people."
Afterwards, he made an appointment with Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu to report again the next day. Gu Xixi then went upstairs and gave a pair of walkie-talkies and binoculars to the King of Zhen. Chu Feng would have to give her the rest, and he would have the grain transporters take them back to him tomorrow.
Soon, the main group left. Gu Xixi, Shen Qingyan, and Chen Yanxu watched them leave before heading into the supermarket.
As they walked in, Gu Xixi pointed to the surveillance camera at the entrance, "I've recorded everything that happened today. I'll show you the footage later. If that old man changes his mind later, you can show the footage to the whole world."
This can be considered a safeguard for Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu.
"Miss, you've really gone to great lengths, considering our needs in every action." Shen Qingyan naturally understood that Gu Xixi had deliberately brought up the items when she gifted them the Thousand-Mile Eyes and the Wind-Following Ears.
"You're welcome. We're all working towards gender equality. Besides, we're friends now, so don't worry about the basics." Gu Xixi waved her hand and was the first to walk into the supermarket.
Her arrogant demeanor made Shen Qingyan unable to look away.
