Chapter 15 New Challenges
"Thank you, you big-headed ghost! You old thing with bad intentions, you really think I'm a country bumpkin from Rizhao!" Ji Qiu cursed in his heart.

To be fair, what Wang Yue said is actually not wrong.

Not to mention the sons of powerful families in Rizhao County, even the children of aristocratic families in the inland prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty, unless they were top talents with a special understanding of the high-level situation in the Han court and had a long-term vision, they would probably be fooled by him.

This cannot even be called a lie, but the truth.

Even Wang Yue himself thought so.

But who is Ji Qiu?
He is a time traveler from modern times and a prophet who knows the future development of the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms world.

He knew deeply that the Han Dynasty had reached the last moment of its decline.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the eunuch forces behind it will be destroyed in a few months at most.

At this time, you want him to give up the exile and stay in Luoyang?

Unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey, he would agree to this request!

So Ji Qiu flatly refused and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Master Wang.

But the student had no ambition to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he just wanted to be a pastoral official and guard a region for the emperor.

I hope Lord Wang can help me!"

Wang Yue's face suddenly froze. He didn't expect that even after he explained it so clearly, Ji Qiu still didn't appreciate it.

Shi A's face changed drastically and he was about to scold.

In his opinion, Wang Yue, as the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is also a well-known figure in the entire Han court.

Now he came in person to invite Ji Qiu to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which was already giving Ji Qiu enough face.

If Ji Qiu still had a bit of common sense, he would immediately be grateful for Dai De's agreement.

But he actually refused.

This is simply too cruel and ungrateful!

This is an insult to Wang Yue!
Since ancient times, when the king worries, the ministers will be humiliated; when the king is humiliated, the ministers will die.

Wang Yue was both his master and his superior, and their relationship was even deeper than that of a monarch and his subject.

Wang Yue was insulted, so it was normal for him to not only scold Ji Qiu, but also fight with Ji Qiu.

But just when he was about to speak, Wang Yue raised his right hand, blocking his words.

Wang Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "Sir, are you really not going to reconsider this?"

"I have made up my mind. There is no need to consider it. I hope Lord Wang will support me!" Ji Qiu said without hesitation.

Wang Yue looked at him deeply, then stood up and said calmly, "Okay, since Master Ji has made up his mind, I will not force you.

Sir, don't worry. We, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, always keep our word. Since we have promised to make you the county magistrate, we will definitely do it.

But the young master also knows that you are just a commoner and have no reputation.

And to directly appoint a commoner without any reputation as a county magistrate is not an easy task even for me.

Of course, it’s not that I can’t do it, but it takes time.”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your understanding. It's okay if it takes time. I can wait. But I don't know how much time Lord Wang will need?" Ji Qiu stood up and asked.

Wang Yue replied, "At least half a month, at most a month."

"Okay, then I will wait for a month! I hope Lord Wang can bring good news!" Ji Qiu bowed and said.

Wang Yue's expression eased slightly, and he glanced at Ji Qiu again, then said calmly, "There is one more thing I must remind you of."

"Please speak, Lord Wang." Ji Qiu said.

Wang Yue said, “I thought you would join the Embroidered Uniform Guard and considered you one of my own, so I sent people to protect the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.

But now it seems that the young master is not willing to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard and only wants to make a deal with me.

Then I will have no choice but to withdraw these people.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to both superiors and subordinates.

I hope you can understand.

Of course, you can rest assured, my lord. I am only withdrawing my men and will never reveal your information. I will not reveal to Yuan Shao that it was you who destroyed the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.

But with Yuan Shao's ability, even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard did not leak the news, I'm afraid it would not be kept secret for too long.

So, please pay more attention to your safety."

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for reminding me. It is only natural for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to withdraw its personnel. I have no objection and I absolutely understand Lord Wang.

As for Yuan Shao's revenge, there's no need for you to worry, Master Wang. I can handle it myself! " Ji Qiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He knew that the so-called "it takes time to run the county magistrate" was just an excuse made by Wang Yue.

Wang Yue's real purpose was to make him resist Yuan Shao's revenge.

Destroying the Dragon Weapon Pavilion can only prove his attitude, but it cannot prove his strength.

He must withstand Yuan Shao's revenge in order to prove his strength to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Wang Yue smiled and praised softly, "Well, Master Ji is truly heroic and full of spirit!

But being too rigid can lead to failure, so you need to understand how to advance and retreat.

If you can't hold on, you can come to me anytime!

The doors of this old man and the Embroidered Uniform Guard will always be open to you, young master."

Then Wang Yue said goodbye to Ji Qiu and left the Pavilion of Rare Treasures with Shi A.

And on the way back to Xiuyiwei, the two of them were on their way back to Xiuyiwei.

Shi A asked in confusion: "Master, what do you mean? Do you really think Ji Qiu can stop Yuan Shao's revenge?"

“Of course I don’t think Ji Qiu can stop Yuan Shao’s revenge, but what I want is for him to be unable to stop it!

The young man was too arrogant and refused to obey discipline. He thought that since he had destroyed the Dragon Weapon Pavilion, he could do whatever he wanted.

But I didn’t know that the water in this world is so deep!
When he faced the Sili Xiaowei Mansion directly, he realized that his strength was nothing at all!

By then, his arrogance had been worn down by Yuan Shao, and he had no place to stay not only in Luoyang City, but also in the whole world.

You will surrender to me and become my sword!" Wang Yue chuckled.

Shi A frowned and said, "But, what if, I mean what if, Master, do you think there is such a possibility that Ji Qiu really blocked Yuan Shao's revenge? What should we do then?"

"Really blocked it? Then let him be the county magistrate as he wishes." Wang Yue said lightly.

Shi A was stunned and said, "Let him go? Master, are you giving in so quickly?"

"Why not? Shi A, you have to understand that if you want to survive in this world, assessing the situation is the first priority.

The Book of Changes says that all things in the world are subject to change.

This tells us that we must learn to adapt to changes and change with the changes.

If Ji Qiu can really stop Yuan Shao's revenge, it means that his strength has reached a level that we all need to take seriously.

Then isn't it only natural to satisfy his request and let him be the county magistrate?

At that time, what I had to consider was no longer whether to let him be the county magistrate.

"It's just a county magistrate, can he really satisfy his appetite?" Wang Yue said calmly.

……

Pavilion of rare treasures.

Ji Qiu looked at the backs of Wang Yue and Shi A as they left, and a helpless look appeared on his face.

“It’s really hard for the bottom class to achieve social mobility.”

"It was said that if I destroyed the Dragon Weapon Pavilion, I could become the county magistrate, but in the end, something changed."

"Fortunately, we still have the mystical technique atlas taken from the Dragon Weapon Pavilion Master."

"Finally, this battle wasn't completely in vain!"

Ji Qiu took out the letter from the Dragon Weapon Pavilion Master from his arms and sighed softly.
