Plane Pet Dealer

Chapter 819 Bribes Are Everywhere
"Come, come, come! Come with me! Take care of your enlistment as messengers." That Brother Qian walked over enthusiastically, and led Li Longze and the others into the city.

Li Longze glanced at him, a little surprised, is this enthusiastic and active guy in front of him someone who he felt very lazy just after seeing him?
Or is it true that people can't be judged by their appearance, and that I really lost my sight this time?

Anyway, since he made this excuse, he must go, and Li Longze was interested in the monarch of the Shu Kingdom, so it would be great if he could meet him so directly.

After entering the city, Li Longze noticed that Brother Qian kept looking back at them for a few times, and then started gossiping, asking about their origins.

Afterwards, he, who was still smacking his chest just now, began to show a hesitant expression, sighed softly and said, "Hey! In fact, this messenger is not so easy to apply for. You also know the prestige of His Majesty the King in our country. With one order, I don't know how many people are fighting for their heads and want to shed their blood for him!"

"To tell you the truth, I will take dozens of people to apply for the recruitment after one day. Among them, not everyone can apply."

"Since there are so many people applying, it is natural to choose the best from the best."

At first Li Longze didn't take it seriously, but when he heard Jian's words, he couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

Why is this routine so familiar?
It's just that it's been a long time since I've been in this plane, and most of the aborigines in this world are pure and open-minded, so that at the beginning, Li Longze didn't realize that there was any meaning beyond this level of words.

This became more and more awkward the more he heard it, and he couldn't help but realize that what he wanted to say probably wasn't just what he said at this time.

So he tentatively pretended to be anxious, and said eagerly: "What should we do? We must serve the monarch! Besides, the whole family knows that we came to apply for a messenger. If we just go back like this, I'm afraid we will be ridiculed." .”

Under Li Longze's gaze, Jian smiled as expected, and said: "I think you guys are all loyal people, unlike some of them who are treacherous and cunning. Even for His Majesty, I will help a bunch."

Afterwards, he continued proudly to show off: "To tell you the truth, in fact, my father and elder brother were among the first batch of people to follow His Majesty the King, and now they are being valued by His Majesty the King, and one of the older brothers happened to be in charge of communication in the palace. Make the first round of screening."

Li Longze couldn't help but secretly smiled in his heart, as expected, this guy is here to please!
It seems that no matter what kind of environment, as long as there are people living together, there will always be people with cunning minds.

"Oh? Brother Xie, you can definitely let us be selected, right?" Li Longze asked, though he had suddenly realized, pretending to be admiring and yearning.

"Hehe, although I can't guarantee it 100%, but it's about the same! It's just that my brother and I had a conflict a few days ago, and if I don't have any gifts to bring to him, I'm afraid he won't help." Xie continued to guide and said .

Li Longze already understood in his heart that as the saying goes, the king of hell is hard to blame when he sees little ghosts, so he didn't make any righteous appearance to expose and accuse Xie at this time.

Only Shi Shiran took out an ordinary treasure short sword obtained in a trade, handed it to Xie and said: "We came from a long way, and we didn't bring any good things, only this sword was obtained from the road, and it is sharp to cut gold and jade. Bibi, it should be okay to give it to your brother as a gift?"

The civilization of this world is underdeveloped, and the so-called weapons are mostly polished by animal bones, sharp teeth and claws of wild animals. At this time, seeing this delicate dagger that is shining silver and white seems to reflect light, it is almost worthless. Drooling, the greed is beyond words.

Hastily stretched out his hand and took the dagger almost like snatching it, and said while observing carefully: "My brother must be very happy to see this gift, and he will also forget our previous conflicts. Beg him again, and he will definitely not refuse my request."

"Then thank you Brother Xi!" Li Longze said with a faint smile.

This person is easy to dismiss, that's true, haven't you seen the world.

In this way, a "py transaction" was completed without any surprise, and the "little ghost" who accepted the gift was even more enthusiastic about the three of them, and brought the three of them to the so-called palace unimpeded.

This palace was probably rebuilt from the temples and other large buildings in the tribal cities. The terrain is not small, but it is much more shabby than the ancient palace run by King Agu for many years.

And the elder brother who led them here seems to be as he said, with a prosperous family and a high status.

None of the palace guards stopped him.

This is better than some "kids" who have received gifts and can't do anything.

Brother Xi took them to a side hall and told them to wait here while he went to find his brother.

He also told them the basic process of envoy application. Every afternoon, the envoys who came to apply for the envoy at the end of the day first passed the test of a group of palace personnel headed by brother Jianshang, and selected the best ones, and then brought them to the king in the evening , let the king choose.

Perhaps it was because of the development of the Kingdom of Shu, and the power is not very great, or maybe the king really valued the position of the communication envoy in this world with no information.

Almost every messenger is directly responsible to the king and is directly assigned tasks by the king.

Xi threw the three of Li Longze into this side hall and left.

Li Longze glanced roughly at the unfamiliar environment. There were about forty or fifty applicants in the hall, all from different tribes. Some people from the same tribe formed small groups, gathered together, chatted and waited.

And the messengers they were about to become seemed to be well received by the maids in the palace because of their high status. All kinds of berries and cooked meat were brought to the hall, as if they were having a banquet.

Li Longze, Bai Ze, and Zhu Jiuyin found a corner and sat down, waiting quietly.

"I think these people are low-strength, and the Shu Kingdom is not very powerful, and it seems to be of no value. We are here to apply for this kind of communication envoy. What are we going to do?" Zhu Jiuyin asked incomprehensibly.

"Hmph, probably to see how his apprentice is doing after leaving him?" Bai Ze replied calmly while eating, shrugging his shoulders.

Li Longze glanced at him helplessly, probably so, he was just waiting for Chidi to find a large number of pets for him, so he couldn't help but come out for a stroll.

I happened to hear about the Shu Kingdom, so I came here.

And that monarch may also be his "stocking" apprentice.

According to the original plan, we were supposed to meet in the Central Land a month after we came to this world.

It's just that some unexpected things happened. There is a powerful King Agu in this world, the central land is occupied by King Agu, and Li Longze has to deal with him.

Therefore, some changes had to be made, and in one month, they did not arrive as promised.
