On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 248 If there were no benefits, who would not treasure his own life?
(Thanks to my daughter who is chasing the sun for voting for 5 monthly tickets.)
Knowing when to quit is a good quality of Li Shiyue!

With the words of the King of Zhenbei, let’s not talk about what kind of official this “Wusanguan of Zhaowu Colonel” is. Anyway, it is an official, that’s enough!
All Li Shiyue wanted was to have a legitimate official position.

Therefore, she used her best acting skills, and finally squeezed out some tears from her eyes, and hurried to see the King of Zhenbei, and said to him with a choked voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the official position in October!

In the next ten months, I will devote myself to serving the prince until my death!"

Of course, these words of thanks have to be exaggerated. Isn't Li Shiyue a person who would risk his life for others?

If there were no benefits, who would not treasure his own life?
However, when King Zhenbei looked at Li Shiyue, although he was still a little uncomfortable about having to give Li Shiyue an official position, at least after hearing what Li Shiyue said, he felt a little relieved.

These two sentences of Li Shiyue indicated four things. First, Li Shiyue thanked the King of Zhenbei. She knew who the big and small kings were.
This is also the effect that the King of Zhenbei wanted. He could grant Li Shiyue an official position, just to use Li Shiyue as an example to tell the soldiers behind them that you should work hard and work hard for the King of Zhenbei. As long as you do a good job, you will get great benefits!
Second, Li Shiyue's words "devote all my energy to the cause until my death" show that Li Shiyue was at least an educated and literate person.

I can’t say she’s a talented person, but at least she’s not a super-strong girl who knows nothing and has only a bit of strength.

This forced the King of Zhenbei to give the official some comfort.

"You see, this position is at least given to someone who is educated and strong enough to fight for me on the battlefield."

Thirdly, by giving Li Shiyue an official position, the King of Zhenbei, as a superior, was able to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.

It is a fact that Li Shiyue defeated eight Turkic men single-handedly!

It is true that she won the longbow and scimitar of the Turkic Khan for her side!
Then the King of Zhenbei must have Enshang!
In addition to being forced to give Li Shiyue an official position under the circumstances and at the words of the Great Khan of the Turks, the King of Zhenbei also used the official position he gave to Li Shiyue to spread the matter, allowing his soldiers and talented people to see that he, the Lord of Anton, was willing to give Li Shiyue an official position because of his heroic victory!

Well, he can give an official position to a little girl. Wouldn’t you, those talented and ambitious people, be tempted?

He is a generous and eager host who is willing to spend a fortune to buy horse bones!
This last point is naturally what is hidden behind "devoting all one's energy to the cause until death".

Li Shiyue's words really touched the heart of King Zhenbei!

What the King of Zhenbei wants is for others to work for him with all their heart and soul, even if it costs them their lives!

Don’t worry about whether Li Shiyue will really do this, but at least Li Shiyue said this in advance, so that’s enough!

In the eyes of King Zhenbei, this means: "Look at this little girl like Li Shiyue. She knows that I have given her an official position, so she has to work hard for me!
So, if you don’t work hard for me, you won’t even be able to catch up with a little girl like Li Shiyue?"

Therefore, at this moment, King Zhenbei finally had a smile on his face. He nodded at Li Shiyue and was very satisfied with Li Shiyue's performance at this moment.

Because Li Shiyue defeated eight Turkic men, the third competition that was originally scheduled was directly cancelled.

After all, Li Shiyue had beaten the eight sons of the Great Khan of the Turks to a pulp, so who else could play?

In this way, the trade fair started directly, and the two sides' own chief stewards of internal affairs came on stage to compete.

On the side of King Zhenbei, it was Mr. Chen who appeared, and what Li Shiyue did not expect on the Turkic side was that the person who came out looked obviously Han Chinese.

Before Li Shiyue could take a closer look, she was called by Yan Jiuniang and taken to find Doctor Liu.

Sitting in the tent, Military Doctor Liu checked the pulse of both her hands. Li Shiyue was in good health except for the wound at the corner of her mouth. Military Doctor Liu said so, but Yan Jiuniang was a little unconvinced.

"Nine Lady, please don't bother Doctor Liu, I'm really fine.

I am really hungry now. My stomach is empty and it is really uncomfortable!" After thanking Doctor Liu, the three of them went to the mutton soup stall outside.

As a result, just as the three of them sat down at the stall, Ma San came over.

"Brother Ma San!"

"October!"

After the greetings were exchanged, Ma San, at Yan Jiuniang's strong request, also sat down and waited with the three of them for the mutton soup to be served.

"The general asked me to tell you that today is the first day of the trade. If nothing goes wrong, there will be a banquet in the main tent in the evening. You can go with us then. After all, you are already the commander of Zhaowu."

Li Shiyue naturally didn't understand what this "Zhaowu Colonel's Wu Sanguan" meant, so he asked Ma San for advice.

Ma San smiled and said to her, "Well, why would you ask me for advice? Lady Jiu actually only knows these."

After the mutton soup and meat came up, several people talked while eating.

Through Ma San's narration, Li Shiyue finally understood the significance of the position of Zhaowu Cavalry Captain that he had just obtained.

The military official position in the Dalong Dynasty was the ninth rank and thirty levels, and this military official position was just an honor.

Although he received a salary, he had no official power.

In other words, if the King of Zhenbei did not assign her a specific official position in the future, she would not even have to report to the military camp.

"October, you are really good!"

Ma San lowered his head and leaned close to Li Shiyue and whispered to her, "You know, this sixth-rank Zhaowu Commandery Lieutenant is the highest-ranking military official that the prince can give out!

If you want to go any higher, you need the approval of the Ministry of Personnel!

I, your third brother, followed the general and participated in hundreds of battles, big and small, and only then was I awarded the title of General Dingyuan, a fifth-rank official.

You have a Zhaowu Commander at the beginning, it's really amazing!"

Li Shiyue bowed to Ma San and then raised his head and said to Ma San with a smile: "Brother Ma San, I, Li Shiyue, am the most contented person!
I was able to get this position today, it's purely by chance, it's really luck!

From now on, I won’t ask for anything, I will just work for the prince honestly!"

Although he said so, Li Shiyue winked at Ma San slyly, as if we were good brothers.

"Haha, haha! I knew you were this, October!"

Ma San stretched out his right hand and raised his thumb, which was the gesture he learned from Li Shiyue to express "you are great".

After seeing Ma San off, Li Shiyue and the other two returned to Yan Jiuniang's tent. Then, outside the tent, they saw Li Qiutian, who had been waiting by the horse for a while.
