Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 764: Zhao Gou: A promise is a promise, double happiness! [4 more]

Liu Gao was confused by the young man.

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the young man was also the ninth brother in terms of ranking.

It's just that Liu Gao was used to calling her Ninth Sister, so he didn't react immediately...

Yue Fei was also confused: My brother is calling me, why are you reacting so strongly?
Zhu Shengfei was also confused: No, he is just a minister. Are you so arrogant now?
The young man looked at Liu Gao with horror: "You are..."

"Do not misunderstand."

Liu Gao stuffed the tea into Yue Fei's hands:

"This is my ninth brother. I'm calling him."

What a coincidence?
The young man narrowed his eyes in a pretentious manner and looked at Liu Gao.

He suspected that Liu Gao did it on purpose...

So what was Liu Gao’s motive for doing this?
Could it be that Liu Gao has some hidden identity?
Liu Gao really wanted to tell the young man that he was overthinking.

But now the more I explain, the more it seems like I'm covering up...

"Zhu Magistrate."

Liu Gao had no choice but to ask Zhu Shengfei:

"My dear gentleman, will you introduce me to him?"

Didn’t you all just recognize each other as relatives?

Zhu Shengfei looked at Liu Gao with a strange expression:

"Minister Liu, this noble person is...

"Prince of Guangping!"

"It turns out it was the King himself!"

Liu Gao pretended to be surprised and bowed to the young man:
"Disrespect, disrespect!"

Zhu Shengfei introduced Liu Gao to the young man:

"This is Liu Gao, the Minister of War and the Governor of Yangzhou!"

Prince of Guangping Zhao Gou also looked at Liu Gao with a strange expression:

"Minister Liu, we are old friends.

"No need to be so polite."

Sure, ninth sister!

Liu Gao calculated with his fingers and found that Zhao Gou was only about ten years old now, so it was quite good that he could respond like this.

Although one can see that Zhao Gou's words and deeds show traces of imitation, he was only ten years old!

If Hua Yue Niang was here, she would probably think that He Yuanqing, who is also ten years old, is a fool...

But then again, are we old friends meeting for the first time?

Liu Gao sat down with a smile.

He had come to Tokyo several times, why didn't Zhao Gou meet him before?

What's different this time?
Zhao Gou also sat down and poured a cup of tea for Liu Gao himself:

“I heard that an old friend of mine got promoted recently!
"This cup of tea replaces wine to congratulate Minister Liu!"

After Zhao Gou said this, Liu Gao understood.

No wonder Zhao Gou met him this time, it turned out that he was qualified to sit at the table.

Before this, even though Liu Gao was both the prefect and the military governor, he was not qualified to sit at the table.

Only now that he has been promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, he is considered qualified.

Or perhaps it was because Song Huizong promised Liu Gao that after he wiped out the remnants of Fang La, he would be appointed Minister of War upon his return.

Anyway, now even Zhao Gou had to offer him a glass of tea instead of wine.

Liu Gao clinked glasses with Zhao Gou.

I have to say, this is a historic moment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Gao took a sip of tea and put down the cup:
"My lord, what were you looking at so intently at the window just now?"

Good supporting role!
Zhao Gou was waiting for Liu Gao to ask, and shook his head in a pretentious manner:
“I see that the common people are doing nothing, working hard all day long without knowing why.

"It's really sad and lamentable..."

The corners of Liu Gao's mouth twitched twice secretly:

“My king, they work hard all day just to fill their stomachs.

"But it is sad and lamentable that many people cannot fill their stomachs even if they work hard all day long!"

Zhu Shengfei's face changed drastically: "Minister Liu, be careful with your words!"

Zhao Gou was shocked by Liu Gao's words:

"No way, how could they not have enough food?
"I just saw that they are all very strong!

"A coolie can carry three big sacks!"

"Yes, my king!" Liu Gao looked at Zhao Gou's childish face:

"Just to fill his stomach, he had to carry three big sacks!

"Who would want to carry three big sacks if they could fill their stomachs without doing anything?"

Zhu Shengfei couldn't help but remind him again: "Minister Liu, be careful with your words!"

Be careful, you are paralyzed!

Liu Gao waved his hand unhappily.

"Zhu Zhixian, I am talking to the king, please don't interrupt!"

Zhu Shengfei: You are noble, you are amazing!

Zhao Gou was stunned for a while, then abruptly changed the subject:

"Minister Liu, you are in a very bad situation!"

Liu Gao pulled out his goose-feather fan, waved it calmly and said:
"Please give me some pointers, my king."

Do you look like you want to ask for advice?

Zhao Gou was a little unhappy, but he still pretended to be an adult and said:

"Minister Liu, you have risen too fast! You are so strong!
"If you continue to be so strong, you might be killed!"

Liu Gao pretended to be stunned: "Why?"

Zhao Gou rubbed his hairless chin:

"My father cannot stand seeing your achievements so great that they threaten the emperor!

"Not only my father can't stand it, but also Grand Tutor Cai, Secretary Tong, and Grand Commandant Zhang...they all can't stand it!
“Fortunately, you lost the battle at Liangshanpo.

"Otherwise, Father might not promote you.

"Do you understand this principle?"

Good guy!
Liu Gao looked at Zhao Gou with new respect.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou understood this truth when he was only ten years old.

It turns out that Zhao Gou wasn't that stupid and incompetent...

Zhao Gou was very satisfied with Liu Gao's response:

"Minister Liu, do you know what you need most right now?"

Liu Gao: “What?”

Zhao Gou stroked his chin and said meaningfully:
"What you need is a reliable backer!

"The bigger your backer is, the longer you can rely on him!"

Liu Gao: “For example?”

Zhao Gou pointed at his nose:
"I!

"Perhaps you will be thinking, if you want to find a backer, why not look for the prince or my third brother, why look for me?
“But I tell you, they don’t dare to support you!
"The only one who dares to support you is me, Zhao Gou!"

Sure, ninth sister!

Liu Gao felt that Zhao Gou had some intentions, and he pondered for two seconds:
"My king, what do you need Liu Gao for?"

Zhao Gou thought Liu Gao had decided to join him and was very satisfied:

“You just need to develop your power.

“This king will support you when necessary!
"do you understand me?"

Liu Gao picked up the teacup with a smile:

"It's a deal, double happiness!"

Zhao Gou also laughed and clinked glasses with Liu Gao:
"It's a deal, double happiness!"

……

Coming out of the teahouse, Yue Fei muttered quietly:
"Brother, have you really decided to join that person?"

"Does he have a key?"

Liu Gao curled his lips:

"Don't worry, ninth brother. The ambition that I told you about will never change."

Only then did Yue Fei feel relieved.

[Yue Fei's favorability +1000+1000+1000...]

Liu Gao glanced at Yue Fei out of the corner of his eye. Among so many brothers, only Yue Fei was his sworn brother.

I don’t know when I can become a friend of life and death with Yue Fei and receive Yue Fei’s big gift package.

"Baozi."

Liu Gao called out to Zhang Bao, "Lead the way."

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Liu Gao meant, and hurriedly walked ahead excitedly.

Soon, Zhang Bao brought Liu Gao and others to a mansion.
