Chapter 67 Xiao He's Excitement and the County Magistrate's Outrageous Actions
Let’s not talk about how Wang Rong gathered information and carried out his mission.

Meanwhile, Xiao He was busy in his office when he was hurriedly called over by the county magistrate's servant. He was completely confused.

As a result, he had just walked into the main hall and had not yet greeted the county magistrate when a young soldier in heavy armor suddenly looked at him and asked.

"Are you Xiao He?"

Xiao He was a little puzzled by this, but he faced Wang Lidao without any fear.

"I am Xiao He. May I know who you are?"

Seeing Xiao He's calm and composed appearance in front of him, Wang Li felt something in his heart.

We don't know exactly what abilities Xiao He has, but at least his ability to handle things with ease is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

It seems that Gongzi Yuan does not choose people randomly!

Wang Li's heart moved slightly, and then he straightened his back, stood solemnly, and then punched Xiao He hard on the left chest.

"A certain generation of Prince Yuan, the regent, sends his regards to Mr. Xiao!"

Just because this man was able to be recruited by Gongzi Yuan and can act freely in front of me, it would not be considered presumptuous to call him.

But his behavior not only surprised Xiao He, but also frightened the county magistrate Xing Sheng and the county magistrate Lu Wen who were standing beside him.

Xiao He's eyes narrowed, and after a moment of shock, he quickly returned the greeting, "I am just a small official, I am not worthy of the greetings of the Prince Regent and the General!"

Wang Li put down his hand, looked him up and down, and then spoke slowly.

"My name is Wang Li, and I am the captain of the Black Dragon Guard. I am here on the orders of the Prince Regent."

"Sir, you have already said that Mr. Xiao is a man of great talent, so we should treat him with courtesy and not neglect him."

"I am just following orders!"

"This is the letter that the young master ordered me to bring. Please examine it, sir!"

After saying this, he took out a bamboo tube sealed with vermilion lacquer from his arms.

The bamboo tube is yellow with a hint of green, obviously it is a bamboo tube that has been killed.

There was nothing else on the bamboo tube except the two simple words "Xiao He".

Xiao He raised his eyebrows slightly, took it with both hands, and checked the integrity of the vermilion seal in front of Wang Li. Then he pinched the seal open and pulled out the silk inside.

But after spreading it out, Xiao He just took a look and looked up at Wang Li with horror on his face.

Wang Li shook his head solemnly.

"Mr. Xiao, you don't have to look at me. Since I received the order, this bamboo tube has been sealed. Let alone the contents inside, I have never even seen this piece of silk!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He nodded angrily and said softly, "Thank you", then looked down at the silk in his hand again.

The handwriting on the silk was obviously written by a man of great literary talent.

When ordinary people write, they strive to make every stroke clear and visible, but this person's composition has its own style.

Considering that this prince regent had already been known as "Prince Jade" before he entered the court, it seems natural that he was given such a name.

"Mr. Xiao, I am in Xianyang right now, and I am busy with my work. I cannot sit down and talk with you over a glass of wine. I regret it!"

"Mr. Xiao has great talent, Yuan has known this for a long time, but Yuan was just an ordinary young man before, without any authority, so even if he had the idea in his mind, he never took action."

'Fortunately, this time my father entrusted Yuan with the power of regent, and Yuan finally got what he wanted!'

"Sir, please listen to what Yuan has to say. Since you are so talented, why do you have to settle for a small position as a county official?"

"Come to the edge of the abyss and make great plans. Isn't it wonderful?"

'To accomplish the king's affairs, to win fame both in life and after death!'

"These words are for you, sir. I am waiting for you in Xianyang!"

At this moment, Xiao He was shaking with excitement.

He stared at the silk in his hand, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

In fact, the words in the silk letter to Xiao He were very polite, but what really mattered to Xiao He was the last sentence: "I will complete the affairs of the king and win a good reputation in my lifetime and after my death!"

Just this one sentence reveals what a well-educated man like him seeks all his life!
Yup!

Assisting the king and shepherding the subjects is the best place for all this knowledge.

To gain fame both during his lifetime and after his death was his greatest aspiration in life.

Xiao He considered himself to be a man of extraordinary learning. Although he did not show any arrogance, he was naturally proud and never lowered his head.

But now, seeing that Prince Yuan, who had suddenly ascended to a high position and exercised the power of regent, had expressed his life ambition in just fourteen words.

Moreover, the letter shows a lot of respect for myself.

With all these things added together, how could Xiao He not take it seriously?

Thinking of all this, Xiao He held the silk in both hands and bowed toward the east.

"Xiao He thanks you for your appreciation. I will let you guide me throughout my life!"

After hearing what Xiao He said, Wang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I have finished this most troublesome task.

He is not afraid of killing!
Even if the person he killed was unclear or had strong force, he would only have to spend more effort.

The only thing is that when inviting people, they have to be invited politely, which gave him a headache when he came.

After all, you can't hit or scold them, and everything has to be done according to etiquette, which is very troublesome.

Now everything is fine. A letter from Gongzi Yuan has saved my life.

Although I don't know what is said in the letter, judging from Xiao He's expression, it must be what he really thinks.

Now, it depends on when Wang Rong can finish his task.

If things are not going well, we have to delay a little.

Coincidentally, the county magistrate here was lucky enough to win over the county magistrate Lu Wen, who was looking at Xiao He very eagerly at this moment.

Xingsheng didn't even pay attention to Wang Li, the third-generation descendant of the Wang family, whom he originally thought was out of his reach. Instead, he approached Xiao He with a smile.

"Xiao He, how did my brother treat you before?"

What a smart person was Xiao He?

Just by hearing the county magistrate call himself "brother", I knew he was trying to make friends.

However, Xiao He was not the kind of person who lived alone. To him, the ways of the world were also a kind of knowledge.

Therefore, he bowed his hands solemnly and said: "County Master Yu, if you say that your favor is as heavy as a mountain, it would be a bit too false, but the County Master is really indebted to me!"

"Therefore, if the county lord has anything to ask, why not ask for your advice?"

County Magistrate Xingsheng smiled brightly upon hearing this, and immediately grabbed Xiao He, then looked at Wang Li and said.

"Captain Wang, it seems that your mission now is to invite my brother Xiao to Xianyang."

"But, although Brother Xiao will surely be very successful this time, you can't just ignore this family business!"

"Therefore, I beg Captain Wang to give Xiao He a day or two to settle his family, and let us say goodbye to Brother Xiao!"

"I wonder if Captain Wang can help me!"

Wang Li's heart moved when he heard this, he just needed a reason to stay a little longer.

Isn't this just delivering it to your door?

Immediately, Wang Li nodded silently.

"I will do my best to help others!"
