Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

"How are you doing these days, Mr. Lu? Are the attendants showing any signs of neglect?"

Wu Mu still had that smiling look on his face, his face was gentle, and his words always contained a hint of intimacy involuntarily.

He was wearing a black gown today, which made him look a little more elegant.

Especially his sharp-edged face with the blood of a prairie man. When he smiles, he looks extraordinarily simple and kind, just like a neighbor's boy.

Before, Lu Qing would let down his guard against this group of people, mostly because of his simple, silly appearance.

Ha ha
The more he thought about it, the uglier Lu Qing's face became.

If Lu Qing hadn't really understood the nature of this devil, he might have been fooled by his good appearance even at this moment.

But if you think about how the devil deceived him and investigated his background, he probably burned down the only thatched house in his hometown after learning that he had no family.

If it were just like this, Lu Qing wouldn't be so angry.

It's just a house.When he went out to work, Lu Qing secretly made up his mind that he would use his own skills to earn gold and silver and become famous.

What made Lu Qing most angry was that Wu Mu... used his strategy in the offensive against Daxia.

As soon as he thought about his strategy being used on his own country, Lu Qing gritted his teeth in hatred towards Wu Mu.

Originally, he was very alert when he first arrived in a foreign place.I would never make such a big mistake.

Even though he was grateful for Wu Mu's kindness and moved that his talent could be put to use, he was not yet ready to make suggestions for the Qingyi people.

It's Umu, with his sweet words and his seductive attitude.She also talked to him about state affairs without hesitation. How could this not arouse his only small desire to participate in such a major event of destroying the country and rejuvenating it?
When a real man is alive, who doesn’t want his talent to be known to everyone?Who can resist the kind of power that holds power in its hands and can influence everyone with every breath?
Lu Qing couldn't resist this temptation, but in front of Wu Mu, no matter how touching the news was, Lu Qing still insisted on gritting his teeth and only talking in general terms.

But after Wu Mu became a gentleman in front of him, Lu Qing wrote down his views on the situation in a handwritten note and kept it close to him.

So - the thing was handed to Wu Mu's hand.

That was the first time Lu Qing had spoken rudely to Wu Mu, and it was also the first time that he had seen the horror of this man.

the devil?
Lu Qing recalled that scene and was still trembling, but Wu Mu's voice appeared in his ears.

"How are you doing these days, Mr. Lu? Are the attendants showing any signs of neglect?"

"It's...it's acceptable."

Lu Qing tightened his grip on the pen in his hand, his voice trembled slightly, and his slightly swaying shoulders showed the fear and vulnerability in his heart.

"Oh? But someone has neglected sir? If so, just say so and Mu Ding will definitely seek justice for sir."

In Lu Qing's ears, Wu Mu's words were full of high-sounding hypocrisy, as well as a hidden threat that he seemed to hear.

If you really follow what he said.

Lu Qing's complexion became even darker, and his hand holding the pen holder tightened.

Those people, the people who have been around him these days - will they die?

Lu Qing had no doubt about Wu Mu's cruelty and his hard-heartedness.It is estimated that even if his wife and children died in front of him, this man would not shed a tear or even frown.

This is Wu Mu in Lu Qing's eyes.

These days he has seen with his own eyes the existence that he is extremely afraid of.

"No, no. They're all fine."

Lu Qing heard his trembling voice. He pursed his lips and stared directly at the candlelight in front of him, not daring to look up at the questioner's eyes.

As if he was afraid that Wu Mu would look at him, Lu Qing lowered his head subconsciously, using the broken hair on his forehead and the shadow under the candlelight to cover up his panic and fearful expression.

After a pause, Lu Qing heard that Wu Mu's voice seemed to be much colder.

"Oh, all right."

Lu Qing, who had successfully overcome this disaster, relaxed his shoulders and took a breath of relief.

"Have these documents been approved?" Lu Qing heard Wu Mu's footsteps and the questions that followed.

"After all, these documents have been specially translated into Daxia language for the convenience of Mr. Xia..."

Lu Qing heard the sound of Wu Mu sitting down not far away. His back, which had been stiff due to his arrival, relaxed slightly, and his tight muscles began to relax.

"Ah, this... it's almost done. It's almost done. It's troublesome... you are so troublesome.",

Like a frightened kitten, Lu Qing cautiously reached out his feet, fearing that he would touch the opponent's minefield and bottom line again.

After hearing the urging in Wu Mu's words, Lu Qing wrote even faster.I was afraid that I would neglect this devil.

On the contrary, Wu Mu, after asking this question, leaned lazily on the wooden chair not far away, sitting in no position, looking lazy, not knowing what he was thinking.

... After waiting for about two sticks of incense, with Lu Qing's handwriting flying hurriedly and slowly, he finally finished processing all the documents on the desk.

For Lu Qing, this was not difficult at all. It was just something he could accomplish with just a few clicks of his fingers without much thought.

But now it seems that it is because of the pressure of Wu Mu's presence and the large number of people left that Lu Qing is in such a hurry.

After writing the last word, Lu Qing organized all the documents on his desk and subconsciously wanted to get up and stretch. However, suddenly he realized that Wu Mu was still in the room at this time, and his movement to get up suddenly stopped.

Lu Qing pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, looked at the organized paperwork team, and said softly:

"...Sir...Sir, I've finished handling this."

Wu Mu didn't seem to hear his voice. He was still distracted and didn't reply to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing gritted his teeth. Even though his heart was still beating wildly due to fear and his breathing became rapid, he still raised his voice and spoke again.

"I've finished taking care of it, do you have anything else to do?"

But even at this time, Lu Qing still didn't dare to raise his eyes, staring at the documents on the desk.

At this time, Wu Mu finally heard his voice and rescued him from this embarrassing situation.

"Oh? Then Mu wants to see Mr. Shi's talent?" Wu Mu opened his eyes and said casually but with a smile.

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Lu Qing's side.

Lu Qing wanted to get up and give up her seat to him, but he held her down with his palms, seemingly unwilling to let him get up.

Wu Mu stood next to Lu Qing and casually took a few documents he had written.

The more she looked at him, the more frightened she became. Although her face didn't show it, and even her heart was beating at a normal rate, Wu Mu was still shocked by Lu Qing's talent.

Today's inspection, said to be an inspection, is actually a judgment and assessment of Lu Qing's talents.

Now, although Lu Qing can no longer afford to go back to Daxia, even in the future, the people of Daxia will regard him as their enemy and will not let him go back alive.

But what kind of position will be given to him? Whether he knows that Wu Mu has spent all his efforts to consolidate his position and cultivate him is still unknown in Wu Mu's heart.

Everything will become clear after today.

At first, Wu Mu also had the idea of ​​scaring the scholar, but unexpectedly, in the end, he was really frightened. Now, even in front of him, he does not dare to breathe heavily.

It's like he is some kind of savage beast.

This only made Wu Mu feel angry and funny.

This man is really as timid as a mouse.Wu Mu thought unconsciously, and subconsciously ignored the fright he had given Lu Qing that time.

He only feels that such a timid person, even if he has good talents, how useful can he be?

With this attitude, Wu Mu then smiled and teased Lu Qing, who couldn't hide his fear.

Using words to threaten in a subtle way, looking at his slightly trembling body, and gritting his teeth and not daring to say a word, Wu Mu found it very interesting.

But no matter how interesting a person is, if he does not have corresponding talents, in the eyes of Wu Mu, who is thirsty for talents today, he is not as good as his attendants who can serve tea and water.

While waiting for Lu Qing to complete the paperwork, Wu Mu sat lazily on a chair, with his legs crossed and stretched out, seemingly unrestrained.

He was thinking, if the result was not satisfactory, how would he deal with this useless person who ruined his interest and delayed his time?
Although he had instructed his men to release those documents, and he was destined to be unable to complete so much of the documents before he came, the feeling of waiting still made Wu Mu a little impatient.

killed?
no.It took a lot of effort for this person to get Qingyi.It can't be simply forgotten.

It is said that during the Warring States Period, someone bought horse bones for a large sum of money, and then countless people came to sell him horses.

Maybe it would be more useful to keep him?
Anyway, even if he lets him go now, Lu Qing will only die.

But having tied him up for so long and treating him so kindly for so long, if there is no benefit, wouldn't it mean that he was taken advantage of?

Wu Mu was hesitant and had not yet made the final plan.

When Lu Qing spoke up, Wu Mu was still immersed in his own thoughts. He was called twice before he recovered.

Wu Mu stood up and walked over. He was not worried. After all, it was not his fate that was decided this time.

When pulling up the first document, Wu Mu reluctantly cheered up and glanced at it hastily.

But he continued to read.The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Not only was he frightened by Lu Qing's work efficiency, but he was also frightened by the content arrangement. It seemed to be exactly what he expected. Even if the prime ministers of Daxia came and wrote it, It's probably not much better than Lu Qing's.

When giving instructions and writing documents, the most important thing is not the fanciful rhetoric, nor the wild ideas and creativity.

A person with the above two talents may be a scribe who can be remembered in history, or a suave poet, but it is difficult to be a capable official or a minister who understands the situation.

But this talent is most vividly reflected in Lu Qing.

Wu Mu could see that Lu Qing's handwriting was becoming sloppy little by little, but the sloppy handwriting did not delay him from appreciating Lu Qing's thoughtfulness and detailed records in doing things.

There are a total of more than 30 documents. The topics were chosen by Wu Mu himself. They are still within the scope defined by Wu Quji, King Zuoxian. The most important officials under his command set the examination questions for his future colleagues.

Because of the competitive relationship, no one is willing to accept a colleague who is parachuted in and is highly valued by the leader. Therefore, these questions are very tricky to a certain extent. There are even pitfalls waiting for Lu Qing to solve in the dark. Jump.

But in Lu Qing's writing, Wu Mu didn't see any hesitation or embarrassment at all, just like those documents that others seemed to need to consider before writing, in front of him, they were like children scribbling.

Although that was just a metaphor, Wu Mu was very sure that he did not spend much energy on these documents.

After barely controlling his excitement, Wu Mu tilted his head and looked at Lu Qing, who was sitting obediently on the chair with lowered eyebrows and a scorching warmth in his eyes.

On the other side, Lu Qing was still sitting nervously, looking at his nose and heart, quietly waiting for Wu Mu's reaction after reading the document.

As Wu Mu opened more pages and documents, Lu Qing's heart beat faster.His hands covered by his sleeves could not help but clenched into fists to control his nervousness.

Not hearing the sound for a long time made Lu Qing a little scared and regretful, and worrying doubts appeared in his head unconsciously.

Could it be that Wumu was dissatisfied with the document he wrote?Why did you look at it for so long?
What's the matter, even if you want to kill someone, you still have to give him a happy word, right?

Lu Qing became anxious because of Wu Mu's silence, but out of fear, he did not dare to say the above words directly to Wu Mu, so he could only complain in his heart.

"Sir, you are so talented!"

Suddenly, Wu Mu's sigh appeared in Lu Qing's ears. Lu Qing's tense heart relaxed, but at the same time, doubts arose.

Is this... a compliment to him?

Will he survive?

Thinking like this, Lu Qing still felt a little familiar, and his face darkened.

Haha, doesn’t it sound familiar?
On the first day he sobered up in Qingyi, that dog-like devil Wu Mu also praised him in the same way.

Complaints are complaints, but on the surface Lu Qing's life is still in other people's hands, so his attitude should be kind or kind.

Lu Qing coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, that's a compliment."

He subconsciously felt humble, and then, as soon as he raised his head, he met Wu Mu's sparkling eyes.

Ok……

Those eyes indeed made Lu Qing dazed for a moment, but the next second he regained his senses and his mind returned to normal. (End of Chapter)
