Chapter 222: The Dragon Breaks Out of the Well and Enters the Clouds!(1/2)
Chapter 222 The dragon escapes from the well and enters Qingyun!
"It's really you!!"
Gu Jingyi exclaimed when he heard this. How could he not know that the extraordinary young man in front of him was the fortune-teller who had told fortunes on the streets of Hongyang City before and even sent him two lines of poetry.
Xu Boqing cupped his hands and smiled: "It's Mr. Xu."
"this……"
Gu Jingyi's eyes moved slightly...
He had never had a good impression of people who flattered immortals and Taoists. When he saw the young man who had set up a fortune-telling stall to look for him, he subconsciously thought of something and asked rather warily: "Are you also an official in the palace?"
"Um…"
Xu Boqing nodded slightly and responded: "That's right."
"Why are you here looking for me?"
"I'm here to ask the old gentleman for help..."
"Then you paid the wrong attention."
Gu Jingyi had returned to normal at this time. Seeing that he came to him for help, he said coldly: "Old man, I am already a prisoner. I can't protect myself. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."
"Xiang Gu misunderstood..."
Seeing his vigilant posture, Xu Boqing knew at that moment that he had misunderstood him as an official who wanted to have a relationship, and asked with a smile: "My name is Xu Boqing, have you heard of it, Prime Minister Gu?"
"Xu Boqing!??"
Gu Jingyi's breath froze when he heard this, and then he stood up excitedly and stared at the young man in front of him carefully.
After looking up and down, he asked with a look of surprise on his face: "Are you Xu Boqing, the governor of the West Factory?"
"Um…"
Xu Boqing nodded slightly and smiled in a teasing tone: "If there is no second West Factory in Daliang and no second Xu Boqing, then it should be me."
"This this……"
Gu Jingyi blinked his eyes blankly, his old face was twisted into a ball, and he muttered with surprise: "How can you be Xu Boqing..."
One is a fortune-teller who sets up a street stall and tells fortunes by mouth, and the other is the leader of the Daliang spy organization. These two identities are so different from each other that they are actually the same person!?
this……
"There is no basis for what you say..."
Seeing the disbelief on his face, Xu Boqing took out a gold medal given by the emperor from his body, threw it casually, and asked with a smile: "Prime Minister Gu, can this prove that I am Xu Boqing?"
"..."
Gu Jingyi took the gold medal and looked it over. He couldn't help but take a breath from between his teeth, and said with a wry smile full of absurdity: "The one who is really special is Xu Boqing..."
"Hehehe, I guarantee it will be replaced if it's fake~"
Xu Boqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, pulled up a bench and sat down, and then asked: "Actually, I am very curious. I have never met Gu Xiang after entering the palace. Why did Gu Xiang do this when he heard that I was Xu Boqing?" How surprised?"
"Although the old man is imprisoned in the sky prison, he has many disciples and former officials, as well as many interested people. People often come to visit him."
Gu Jingyi pointed to the unfinished food and wine on the table and said, "There is a disciple who just left not long ago, and just now he was talking about the breach of the Fushan Weir and today's court meeting."
His voice paused, and he added with emotion: "When we talked about the court meeting, we naturally also talked deeply about the ministers appointed by His Majesty to govern the world. Who would have thought that the ministers who were just discussed not long ago would appear in front of us now?
Who would have thought that the fortune teller who was on the street at the beginning would suddenly become the governor of Xichang and become the official of Daliang?"
"That's it~"
Xu Boqing just smiled and shook his head and said, "But Xu is too embarrassed to be a minister of the world."
"Supervisor Xu made serious remarks."
Gu Jingyi said with a smile: "Robbing the prince's house and personally overseeing the execution of King Yu. In this year, more than ten officials of all sizes in the capital were executed. This is not something that everyone has the courage to do."
His voice paused, and then he said seriously: "Besides, since Governor Xu has taken over this job, he will be a minister who governs the world, whether he dares to take it or not!"
"..."
Xu Boqing didn't want to dwell on the title of 'minister of governance' for too long, and said bluntly: "Since Prime Minister Gu knows about the breach of the Fushan Weir and today's court meeting, there is no need for me to repeat it."
His voice paused, and then he said seriously: "Actually, Xu came here today to ask Mr. Gu for a favor."
"help……"
Gu Jingyi's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, as if he thought of something, and he asked pointedly: "Who can I help?"
"Is it important?"
"important!"
"Well…"
Seeing his solemn expression, Xu Boqing looked directly into his eyes and said sternly: "By helping me, you are also doing yourself a favor, and it is also a favor for all the people in the world!"
"..."
Seeing his stern look, Gu Jingyi felt a little lost and muttered to himself: 'Help all people in the world'...
"Natural disasters have appeared, and man-made disasters are about to occur."
Seeing this, Xu Boqing sighed and said: "Since Mr. Xu was pushed to this position and took over this job, he naturally wanted to do something for the people.
However, Mr. Xu has little talent, little knowledge, and lack of foundation and reputation. If he wants to accomplish this, he must ask for the help of a great sage like you."
"Daxian, hehehehe..."
When Gu Jingyi heard the title of "Great Sage", he suddenly laughed out loud. He smiled and burst into tears...
He asked with a mixture of tears and laughter: "Governor Xu, Governor Xu, have you ever seen any great sage who was demoted three times? Have you ever seen any great sage imprisoned?"
"Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, but he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, if he is tempted to endure it, he will benefit what he cannot do."
Xu Boqing clicked his tongue a few times and said with slightly moving eyes: "I thought that a great sage like Prime Minister Gu would understand such a simple truth, but I never thought that Prime Minister Gu was also obsessed with it..."
"..."
Gu Jingyi stood there blankly after hearing this...
He murmured in despair, "Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person. He must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, if he is tempted to endure, it will benefit him."
cannot.'
As he thought about it, his eyes turned a little red...
"..."
When Xu Boqing saw this, he also knew that the time was right. He raised his body and cupped his hands and said, "Since Prime Minister Gu is not willing to leave this cell to help the people of the world, then Xu will leave."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave. As he took steps, he was counting silently in his heart: "Three...two..."
"Wait, wait!! Wait!!!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, the old man who was over fifty years old shouted as if he was possessed. He ran all the way to the cell door to stop him, and shouted in an imageless voice: "Who said I won't help? Who said I won't help?"
No more help!?"
"oh?"
Xu Boqing pretended to be surprised and asked: "So, Prime Minister Gu has agreed to help all the people in the world?"
"Do I have any chance to say no!?"
At this time, Gu Jingyi's eyes were a little red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The sentence you just said is incomplete! I can feel it!"
Xu Boqing pretended to be confused and asked: "Which sentence?"
"It's the phrase 'Heaven will give great responsibilities to this people'!"
"This is what others said and I quoted it..."
"you……"
Gu Jingyi pulled his arm and said: "Who said this? Why is it incomplete? What about the previous article? What about the follow-up?"
"..."
Xu Boqing blinked and said seriously: "When I was a child, I was taught by a sage in my dream. He said a lot, but I was still young at that time, so I only remember this sentence."
"You...you...you kid..."
Gu Jingyi trembled and pointed at him, his lips murmuring. He clearly wanted to say something, but he was so angry that he didn't know how to speak for a long time.
It felt like a man who had been starving for thirty years suddenly saw a beautiful woman dancing, and his heart was filled with passion. He pulled the beauty into his arms and played with her. He did all kinds of tricks and ate the meat while watching, but the beauty failed.
Gone far away...
"Calm down your anger, calm down..."
Seeing that he wanted to eat him, Xu Boqing immediately said with relief: "I was still young at that time and didn't understand. Maybe I will remember it when I get emotional in the future?"
"..."
After hearing this, Gu Jingyi took a few deep breaths, then returned to the bed and sat down glumly, asking nonchalantly: "Your Majesty personally ordered me to be imprisoned in the sky prison. Do you have the right to take me out?"
To be continued...
