Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 474 Gao Qiu’s “Struggle”

Zhao Mu also noticed the ugly expression on his elder brother's face, but he didn't care about it.

After all, the eldest brother has always looked upon himself very highly but lacked any ability since he was a child. It's normal for him to be jealous of himself now.

Prince Dongping bravely finished the meal. Then he left the venue early and left Prince Qi's Mansion, which he hated.

Seeing that her eldest son and younger son were still at odds with each other, Concubine Chai also sighed.

However, it was better that Zhao Mu and Zhao Yong were brothers with the same blood. Concubine Chai was also confident that Zhao Mu would not be ruthless enough to attack her own brother.

It's just that Concubine Chai is also very distressed now and doesn't know how to ease the relationship between Zhao Mu and his brothers and sisters.

Seeing her husband leaving, Princess Xiao Qian also rolled her eyes at him.

In her eyes, her husband is just a useless person who can't do anything and is jealous more than anyone else. Now he leaves the venue early without giving any face, which is even more rude. It also made her look down on him even more.

After Prince Dongping left Prince Qi's mansion, he did not return directly to his own mansion. Instead, he ordered the driver to divert. He diverted to the home of another prince.

Zhao Yong smiled and said: "Hahaha. You are such a naughty little boy. You will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Hearing this, Gao Qiu quickly nodded and bowed and said, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Since Your Majesty is here, I should lead you there first. If the master knows that I have offended Your Majesty because of your small age, I have offended you. That villain He really deserves death."

When Prince Dongping's chariot arrived, he saw another chariot. Then his face lit up with joy.

"The villain Gao Qiu respectfully welcomes His Highness Prince Dongping!" After Gao Qiu said that, he knelt directly in front of Zhao Yong.

Looking at the polite Gao Qiu. Zhao Yong smiled and said: "Gao Qiu, get up. You are a close relative of His Royal Highness Prince Duan. You don't need to be so polite when you see me in the future."

This prince is none other than Zhe Zong's younger brother, Duan Wang Zhao Ji.

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "By the way, look at this car. Is the young prince, the governor, the lieutenant, also in the house?"

Zhao Yong nodded and said: "Okay! Then go and do your work. I will go to see His Highness Prince Duan."

After listening to Gao Qiu's words, Zhao Yong smiled heartily. He then took out a piece of silver from his waist and said, "Haha. I just like your sweet mouth. Well, the money is not much. Let's go have a cup of tea."

Gao Qiu knelt down and took the money from Zhao Yong, and then thanked him: "I thank the prince for the reward."

Gao Qiu stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Although Gao Qiu is protected by his master, he is still a servant. In terms of seniority, Prince Dongping, you are still my master's uncle. How dare you, a villain? How about being rude in front of Your Majesty?"

Seeing Zhao Yong get out of the car, the disciples of Prince Duan's Mansion hurriedly came to greet him.

Gao Qiu nodded and said: "Reporting to the prince, the Taiwei, His Royal Highness the Princess, and an honored guest brought by the Taiwei are currently playing Cuju with the master in the garden. The master sent the villain to go outside to find some good ones. Drinks are here to entertain distinguished guests.”

Gao Qiu still said in a flattering manner: "That villain is waiting for the prince to promote him." Then he stepped aside and invited Zhao Yong into the house.

When Zhao Yong was led to the garden gate, Gao Qiu retreated respectfully.

It is said that Gao Qiu was beaten by Wang Jin and taught a lesson by Zhao Mu last time. Then he returned to the drug store as an apprentice. But the shopkeeper of the medicine shop, seeing his appearance, didn't want to keep him. However, although Gao Qiu was domineering before, he has been in the market for many years and is very skilled in human relations. In particular, he is very good at flattering and doing favors. Everyone who has been with him praises Gao Qiu. Although the drug store owner didn't want to keep him, it was hard to fire him directly.

It happened that Su Shi was demoted again and lacked a book boy to move books around. Su Shi rarely used some herbs and spices when cooking, so he had a good relationship with the shopkeeper of this medicine shop.

Su Shi wanted to find a reliable person before, so he also asked the shopkeeper. So the shopkeeper thought about it and recommended Gao Qiu to Su Shi.

And Gao Qiu also seized this opportunity. Although Gao Qiu was a bit jealous of everything he learned, he was good at observing people's opinions and flattering others. During his time as a bookboy, he was quite popular with Su Shi. And he also learned a lot of knowledge about finding chapters and excerpting sentences from Su Shi.

Later, Su Shi was released because he wanted to go abroad. After much thought, he decided that Gao Qiu did not need to go with him because Gao Qiu was good at Cuju. He then thought of his friend Duan Wang Zhao Ji.

So before Su Shi was released, he recommended Gao Qiu to work in Prince Duan's Mansion again and became the leading boy in Prince Duan's Cuju team.

And this Cuju game completely allowed Gao Qiu to make a comeback.

Because King Duan loved Cuju, and Gao Qiu was a top-notch Cuju master. His superb skills with three legs and two legs were very popular with King Duan. In addition, he is good at flattering people, which makes people like Duan Wang feel proud.

Soon Gao Qiu changed from a low-level servant in the mansion to a close relative of King Duan.

After Gao Qiu became powerful, he immediately drew a clear line with his former friends and friends, so as to save them from harming him in the future.

After Gao Qiu gained power, he began to think about how to avenge his previous humiliation. How to use the power of Prince Duan's Mansion to avenge the humiliation he suffered on the street that day.

But it was a pity that after some inquiries, Gao Qiu learned the identities of the two people who beat him that day. He was scared to death after hearing this.

Originally, Gao Qiu didn't take Wang Jin seriously. After all, he is the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister. As a close relative of King Duan, he is naturally much older than Wang Jin, a young coach.

However, Wang Jin was promoted to captain within a few days, and later made a general based on his military merit.

If it were just Wang Jin, it wouldn't be enough to scare Gao Qiu. Although Wang Jin was promoted to general, he was only a general in name only.

The person who scared Gao Qiu was naturally Zhao Mu who was with Wang Jin.

When Gao Qiu found out Zhao Mu's true identity, Zhao Mu had been promoted to Nanyang County Duke at that time and was not that scary. But later Zhao Mulei was granted the title of King of Zhongshan and King of Qi. He even became the first person under the emperor. This made Gao Qiu very scared.

He also had to continue to be a human being with his tail between his legs.

When he was serving King Duan, he also heard the story from Captain Wang, the princess, and King Duan. Nowadays, Zhao Muguan is worshiped as the Minister of the Ministry of War and has the title of Grand Master. Even the Empress Dowager is afraid of it. This made Gao Qiu feel that not only was he hopeless for revenge. You may even lose your life.

This is also the reason why Gao Qiu is so polite to Zhao Yong.

What Gao Qiu respected was not just the royal title of Prince Dongping. What he respected more was Zhao Yong's personal identity. Because he is King Qi's eldest brother. If he is in trouble in the future, Gao Qiu can also ask Prince Dongping to put in a kind word for him.

I won’t say whether these kind words are of any use. At least flattery is better than no flattery. Therefore, every time Prince Dongping came to Prince Duan's Mansion, Gao Qiu would be very attentive when he met him. He is more attentive than his own father.
