Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Li Tuo did not want officials, but this did not mean that he did not want power.

There was a relationship between power and an official position, but there was no absolute relationship between them. Wasn't one of the first or second rank officials of the imperial court high enough? When facing Ci Xi's personal eunuchs, he had to greet them with a smile as well as give them presents.

The so called Prime Minister's gatekeeper was a seventh grade official. Of course, power could be divided into tangible and intangible, what Li Tuo wanted was intangible power.

It would suffice to walk Li Lianying's path to give him money, but to walk Ci Xi's path to give him money was not very useful!

Li Tuo didn't want to find a way to rely on the relationship between Li Lianying and Ci Xi to gain Ci Xi's trust.

Li Tuo had to establish a direct contact with Ci Xi, then he would have to give Ci Xi a gift personally!

What gift was Ci Xi looking for? Money and power, these are things that Li Tuo can't give him. Ci Xi likes money but they are all worth millions of silver taels.

All that was left was to serve his master and compete for power in the imperial court … However, this kind of contribution could only be found by luck but not sought after.

After thinking about it, Li Tuo felt that he should start from Ci Xi's natural identity. You are a woman, and a widow, so I'll just send you off as a man.

Li Tuo had gambled on the life of a whole family, if Ci Xi fell out with Li Tuo, the entire family would be beheaded!

Li Lianying was also scared to the point of sweating, "Li Tuo... You play like this... He really didn't care about his life! "This is an evil trick. If the bet goes right, you'll fly up. If you lose …"

"Have you thought about it …" Otherwise, even the ancestral tombs will be dug! "

Li Tuo said ferociously: "Chief Steward, don't worry, this official understands … "This official wants to bet on this …"

"Alright!" Li Lianying slapped her thigh and raised her big thumb, "You're a real man, you're a hero!" She was willing to part with her entire body! "You are a good man!"

"Since you're going all out, what else can I say …" Bring in that fool at the door! That brat's luck is really here! "

Isha had already been blowing cold air at the door for a long time. In the afternoon when she was bathing, a few maid s rubbed off the oil that they had stored for over a month.

Although a new set of clothes was good, it was not as good as the well-fitting set of clothes. As he moved, he felt a bit awkward and itchy.

Just as he was feeling uncomfortable all over, the corner door suddenly opened, and the butler walked towards him and ordered, "Who is Isha?"

"This official is, this official is …"

"Come in, the steward wants to meet you …"

Isha carefully walked along the way and waited at the door for another quarter of an hour before she heard Li Tuo's voice from inside, "You're here? "Let him in …"

After blowing on the cold wind for more than two hours, Isha's entire body was stiff, the moment she entered the parlour, she could smell the hot air as well as the fragrance of the food mixed with the fragrance of the flowers.

"Greetings to Chief Steward … "Greetings to Lord Li …" Isha knew that her status was low, so there was no need for him to care about her face, she entered the house and immediately knelt and kowtowed, if Li Lianying did not speak, he would not dare to stand up.

The upper class liked to treat you coldly. They would purposely waste your time and temper you … Li Lianying and Li Tuo chatted as they drank wine and drank three more cups. Only then did they take a closer look at Isha.

"Isha, ah... Get up... Inner Right Gate is also a common sight... "Let's have a seat!"

Isha sat on the edge of the round stool with her buttocks half-way up, her hands nervously placed on her knees. When the servant brought the bowls and chopsticks over, how would he dare to touch them?

"It's not mine, I'm not greedy …" "It's not mine, I don't want it …" Isha recited the Three Character Classic in his heart, completely dispelling the thought of eating it.

Li Lianying looked around at Isha, and only today did she realise that this inconspicuous guard was actually a handsome guy!

His eyebrows were raised, his nose was high, and there was not a single bit of fat on his face. His neck was long and slender, and the curves of his muscles and bones could be clearly seen. He was definitely not some good-for-nothing whose head was filled with fat.

Li Lianying had seen too many popinjays, either they were as thin as a monkey and not in human form, or their chins were swollen and their eyes were puffy.

But you can tell that Isha is a bodyguard who has truly trained in martial arts. You can feel that the muscles on her arms and shoulders are filled with strength.

The only thing that was lacking was that this person's eyes were dim! Which is to say, he didn't have the rebellious spirit that only existed in the Baji!

Li Tuo saw through Li Lianying's thoughts. He hurriedly said in a low voice, "Actually, he's not stupid … This child was lacking in experience! He was born and raised in the Chengde and he is not an important position in the mountain resort … "

"People were born and raised in bitter cold places, so few people saw them and few people were able to see them on the market … That's why they seem to be out of place in Beijing, and why they are being bullied! "

"Look at this body, it really is filled with muscles, bones, and spirit!" Speaking to this point, Li Tuo whispered into Li Lianying's ear, "I examined it when I was bathing in the afternoon … What a donkey, how about Chief Steward take a look personally? "

This was really swearing at the bald man in front of a monk. Li Lianying glared fiercely at Li Tuo. Why is this trash looking at those dirty things? "Those are all the origins of trouble …"

"Since you have already experienced it, what else do I have to worry about …" In any case, if you infuriate someone of noble character, you all can just wait to die together! "

Speaking up to here, Li Lianying did not bother to be polite with Isha anymore, "Isha … Lord Li praises you for a rich future, so I've temporarily agreed … "

"But I just want to know if you have the guts to continue working here …" Furthermore, I have already said it clearly. If you nod your head today, there will be no turning back! "

Isha looked at Li Tuo, licked his lips and asked softly, "I … May I ask what is the matter? "

"How dare you!" Li Tuo's face immediately darkened, "How can I teach you the rules, is that something you can ask?"

"Let me ask you, if I let you kill me, would you dare to do it? "You have already said that you do not want to live such a despicable and despicable life …"

"You also said that I'm poor. Because I don't have a dowry, I can't find a good person …" You need to make money and be an official to support your family! "

"Now that I have given you the chance, you actually became a coward? Don't forget that you are Manchu and the blood and bone of Eight Flag … Didn't the Old Ancestor put his head on his belt? "

"Damn it!" I'll let you kill the innocent, I'll let you kill the heaven and earth! Do you dare to say anything today? "

Li Tuo's words frightened Isha so much that he did not dare to say a single word, so he just sat there and gulped down his saliva. Li Lianying laughed, "Alright, Li Tuo, stop trying to scare him like that and give him a full cup of wine … "Suppressing the shock!"

Li Lianying had become a good person and personally poured wine for Isha, "I say, Isha! Don't you have a brain like that … In this lifetime, many chances are gambled on! "

"Think about it carefully. Why did I say that if you nod your head today, there would be no turning back? This means that this matter is extremely daring! "

"Wealth comes from danger. Only by being bold can one be as rich as the one in the sky!"

"If you don't nod, would we dare to tell you? Who knows if your mouth is tight or not? Besides, how many times can you bet on life? If we don't bet, where would the wealth come from? "

"You still want to ask?" Pui … Ask your mother! Everyone has already revealed their trump cards, so what do I need you for? "

"I'll ask you today, do you dare to bet?"

"What else do you want to know in advance? A head of sorghum seeds... It's all because of those stinky thoughts! "
