One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Four: Fa Xu Pei, the First Princes to Kill (34)
"Don't hesitate to tell me what you want to do!"
Bo Ning was so anxious that he didn't even speak the elegant words, and directly came out of Peng County dialect. After he finished speaking, his face showed embarrassment, and Bo Ning repeated it word by word in elegant words, "You child , to be honest, what do you want to do?"
Wei Ci had a slight smile on his face, as if he didn't see Bo Ning's gaffe.
"Ci is sincerely asking Bai Yishi to come out of the mountain. It is a pity that this talent is buried in the countryside."
Bo Ning said again, "You bully me for not studying enough, right? It's a deceiving thing, walk around, or I will beat you!"
Wei Ci was astonished. In his previous life, Bo Ning was also very resistant to going out of the mountain, but it was not as strong as it is now.
"Cheat someone to death?" Wei Ci laughed and said, "Ci invites you sincerely, there is absolutely no deceit."
Bai Ning put on a tiger face, with an expression of "I don't listen, I don't listen, I just don't listen".
Helpless, Wei Ci could only resort to his ultimate move.
"How about this, Ci makes a bet with you, if Ci wins, why don't Bo Yishi consider becoming my lord?"
Bo Ning raised his eyebrows, his raised beard dangled in the air, and said in a rough voice, "Then you lost?"
Wei Ci said, "Let it be handled by you."
Bo Ning clapped his hands, let go of his grip on the fence gate, and rubbed his palms together excitedly.
"That's a good thing—then don't be foolish—"
"Only one thing, don't marry a wife, don't take a concubine, don't get married." As soon as Wei Ci said this, Bo Ning's excited expression froze, showing a hellish expression, Wei Ci smiled, "Although Ci has no family, wife and children, , but his heart belongs to him, and Bo Yishi's plan may come to nothing."
Bai Ning's voice changed, "How do you know—"
Wei Ci said, "Ci Fang just said it. Watching the stars at night and counting them. Knowing the big and small things in the past 30 years, you will never lie."
The fact is that Bo Ning asked Wei Ci to propose marriage in his last life.
Bo Ning has a daughter under her knees, she is very ugly, she is over twenty-three years old and still unmarried, she has been dragged from a big girl with yellow flowers to an older unmarried girl.
If it wasn't for Bo Ning's protection of the countryside, the villagers accepted his kindness, and the gossip alone would have killed this daughter.
It was a year or two later for Wei Ci to recruit Bo Ning in his previous life, and his daughter hadn't married at that time, let alone this life.
"What else do you know?"
"Know a thing or two." Wei Ci said, "The content of the bet is also simple, Ci counts two things randomly, if they are right, then Ci wins, how about it?"
Bo Ning felt guilty, but Wei Ci wasn't like a fortune teller who set up stalls in the streets.
A quarter of an hour later—
"Who is your master?"
Bo Ning was also depressed.
He is just a rough countryman, he never thought that there would be a gentleman like a fairy to recruit him, and he even pretended to be sure to win.
When did he become a sweet potato?
Wei Ci smiled and said, "My lord is Dongqing Lanting Lord, the shepherd of Maruzhou Prefecture. My lord sent Ci to the south to discuss the alliance with Yang Tao. Ci Bandao heard about Bo Yishi's feat of guarding the village, and he admired him. After searching several times, I came to invite him personally."
Bo Ning was stunned for a moment, and said, "From Dongqing?"
Wei Ci knew what he was hesitating about.
"Bo Yishi, Peng County is in the midst of World War Three, and it won't last long. If you insist on staying here, the safety of your family will be in danger."
According to Wei Ci's knowledge, it's not that Bo Ning never thought about becoming an official.
However, he is already old, and his age of four is regarded as his twilight years in the ranks of generals, and his family background is low, so he can only be a low-level soldier in the army, almost the most worthless cannon fodder on the battlefield. Even if he has the heart to fight the enemy bravely, but the barracks can't even supply a weapon and armor, who is he going to kill? It is difficult for the soldiers at the bottom to climb up, and every step is made by relying on the enemy's heads.
Bo Ning is an old man with almost no chance to make his mark.
Instead of this, it would be better to squat in Pengjun and lead the village soldiers to fight bandits.
Parkin didn't understand.
Since Nansheng destroyed the country, the area of Pengjun has had more than 20 owners in the past few years. The number of young and old people has become less and less, and survival has become more and more difficult.
However, Bo Ning did not want to leave his hometown and go to another country.
"let me think again--"
Although the bet did not force Bo Ning to join, but Wei Ci made sure that Bo Ning had to be cautious.
In this world that doesn't believe in science, a magician like Wei Ci is quite popular.
"Is this made by Ling Ai?" Wei Ci looked at the crossbow placed on the wooden shelf in the room, and took it down to play with, "What a coincidence."
Bo Ning said proudly, "Of course it was made by our family, Axia, the best in all places."
Wei Ci was not at all surprised by Bo Ning's performance.
There are many reasons why Bai Yuexia was dragged from a big girl with yellow flowers to an older unmarried girl, not just because of her appearance.
Although she is an ugly girl, she has been clever since she was a child, and she can learn everything well. According to rumors, she has also been taught by the contemporary Mohist giants. Because of her bad appearance, she wanted to find a husband who had appearance and talent but was not obsessed with appearance. In addition to other high requirements, she scared off many suitors, but Bo Ning still indulged her.
With Bo Ning supporting her, Bai Yuexia will not worry about when she will get married.
Just as he was talking, a clear female voice came from outside.
"Father, are there any guests at home?"
Wei Ci heard the reputation and looked around, only to see a plainly dressed woman push the door in, with a mature appearance but combing the bun of an unmarried girl.
Bai Yuexia's appearance followed her father's, her facial features tended to be tough, and her face was not as soft as an ordinary woman's. At first glance, she thought she was a man. The eyebrows are thick and thick, the eyes are black and bright, and the skin is a little dark yellow and rough. If it's just like this, she doesn't seem to be called an ugly girl, but she has a huge purple-brown birthmark on her face, which occupies most of her face, and she looks like a ghost.
Seeing that there was a beautiful gentleman who looked like a fairy descending from the earth, Bai Yuexia couldn't help but take a second look.
Wei Ci's expression was calm, he was not frightened by her appearance at all, and there was no look of disdain in his eyes.
This made Bai Yuexia couldn't help but take a second look.
"This is—a distinguished guest from Dongqing, Ah Xia, go and make a pot of tea for the guest."
Bai Yuexia bowed slightly and followed her advice.
"I don't know if this distinguished guest has come to the humble house, what's the matter?"
Bo Ning said, "He came to persuade my father to become an official, but he hasn't decided yet. My father wants to hear Axia's opinion."
"An honored guest from Dongqing? To be an official?" Bai Yuexia paused while making tea, and said hesitantly, "Mr. is under Lanting's account?"
Bo Ning said, "Yes, yes, that's what he said."
Wei Ci smiled and said, "Miss Bai is very smart, she guessed right."
"There are only a few princes in Dongqing, and the little girl guesses randomly." Bai Yuexia showed rare embarrassment, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows shyly, and said softly, "The little girl has guessed others before, but Dongqing has counted. Among the lords, only Duke Lanting is used regardless of his birth, but his talent."
Bo Ning's family background is very low, but Wei Ci came to invite him personally, and Jiang Pengji seemed to be the only one.
Bo Ning looked at his daughter as if he had seen a ghost.
The shy little girl in front of me is acting like a pie, is it really his daughter?
Wei Ci: "..."
etc--
He seems to have forgotten something!
