Chapter 812 Pretending to Agree Without Making Any Changes

Shi Dami smiled, with a glint in his eyes, and said slowly: "Chen Shou, although you are a scholar, you are full of knowledge. I recently got news that the government wants to recruit some knowledgeable people to compile classics. If you go , not only can you have a stable income, but you can also display your talents, which is much better than writing a petition. "

Chen Shou was a little hesitant, and his hands unconsciously touched the corners of his clothes.

"This...it's hard for me to write the petition here, but I'm also comfortable. I'm afraid there are many restrictions on government affairs."

"You are alone now. If this continues, when will you be able to get ahead? This is a rare opportunity."

Chen Shou was deep in thought, his brows furrowed, his eyes lingering on the stack of papers for a long time, and there seemed to be waves in his heart.

Shi Dami looked around and then lowered his voice and said: "Did you know that Xi Yu, he hides a shocking secret. If we can get his birth date, someone is willing to pay a sky-high price. We only need to try to get it, and we can get a lot of money." With wealth, you will have no worries about food and clothing.”

Chen Shou frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Shi DaMi smiled.

"It depends on whether you have the guts to get riches in danger."

Chen Shou looked at him in surprise.

Shi Dami adjusted his sleeves, his expression became serious, and he spoke slowly.

"Chen Shou, I won't hide it from you today. To be honest, I am an important minister of the Parthian Kingdom. I am here with an important mission."

When Chen Shou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of astonishment. He never expected that he had such an unusual identity.

After calming down, Chen Shou hurriedly asked: "Then why did you say you were investigating Xi Yu's birth date? What was your intention in getting me involved?"

Shi Dami just smiled, with a hint of mystery on his face, and was not in a hurry to answer Chen Shou's questions.

Chen Shou looked at Shi Dami's appearance and thought to himself.

He thought to himself that Xi Yu held great power, and the Parthian Kingdom specially sent people to find out his birth date. Could it be that they wanted to use some evil means to disadvantage Xi Yu, so as to influence the situation between the two countries and seek to gain control of Parthia? A favorable situation for the country?

When he thought of this, Chen Shou felt "grateful" in his heart. He suddenly felt that this matter was extremely dangerous and he must not be involved in it.

He knew full well that this was to use the horoscope of birth date to curse Xi Yu, which was an extremely sinister method.

But his face remained calm, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You really think highly of me. Xi Yu is heavily guarded. How can I, a little scholar, have the chance to obtain his birth date? This is simply a fantasy."

Shi Dami's eyes showed that he was determined to win.

"That's why I'm looking for you. You are from the Central Plains, so it's much easier to do things here. As long as you plan carefully, you will definitely have a chance. Moreover, when things are done, the generous rewards will be enough for you to live a lifetime of glory and wealth."

Chen Shou was extremely disgusted with this insidious behavior, but he suppressed his emotions and did not show any signs of it.

He said slowly: "Although I have never met Xi Yu, I can still be considered to be somewhat destined."

Shi Dami's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Oh? What is the fate? Please tell me."

Chen Shou recounted his last experience: "Zhao Yun led a team of men that day... Zhao Yun acted like a robber..."

Chen Shou spoke vividly, with a look of indignation on his face, as if he was filled with righteous indignation.

Shi Dami listened, nodding his head, and thinking to himself. Looking at Chen Shou's expression, he already believed in his heart that what he said was true.

I feel that Chen Shou has indeed had an entanglement with Xi Yu, and perhaps he can really use this relationship to find opportunities to achieve his goals.

Chen Shou continued: "I'm thinking that there is a high probability that Xi Yu is still thinking about me. After all, I couldn't complete what he told me last time. If I take the initiative to go there now, with his eagerness for talents, , I think you will definitely accept me.”

When Shi Dami heard this, he was immediately filled with excitement.

He held Chen Shou's hand tightly and said with bright eyes: "You have a saying in the Central Plains: 'You can't find a place without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.' After hearing what you said today, it seems that we can still What a fate! God is really helping us. If you can take this opportunity to successfully get the birth date, you will be rich and prosperous in the future. "

Chen Shou looked at Shi Dami's eager and excited look and sneered secretly in his heart, but still pretended to be complacent for this opportunity on his face.

In his mind, he was thinking about how to subtly destroy his insidious plan.

Chen Shou's heart has become clear, and he understands that Shi Dami's approach to him before was most likely to use him to do such shameful things. Even the so-called "robbers coming to attack" before was probably arranged secretly by this guy. Yes, just to force myself to submit.

Although he felt like a mirror in his heart, he only smiled slightly on his face, and then showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, scratched his head and said: "Brother Shi, although this looks like an opportunity, after all, it is a matter of great importance. Xiyu Ke I'm not a fool, sir. If you go there rashly and arouse his suspicion, you will be asking for your own death. Besides, obtaining the birth date secretly is not fair. I really don't dare to do it. I hope you will. Can you understand my concerns?”

As Chen Shou spoke, he observed Shi Dami's expression and was secretly on guard, fearing that the other party would see some clues.

Shi Dami still spared no effort to encourage Chen Shou, and his words became more and more sincere.

"Chen Shou, look at you, you have no knowledge and ability, but you live in this small place all day long, with no place to display your ambitions. Those officials don't have much real talent and learning, but they can The world is so unfair, so why bother to defend them? Now you have such an opportunity in front of you. As long as you do it, you can completely change your destiny and live a better life. The days of masters and masters.”

Chen Shou pretended to be deep in thought, frowning slightly with a tangled look on his face.

After a while, he seemed to have finally figured it out. A smile appeared on his face and he said slowly: "Listening to what you said, it does seem to make sense. It's just that the risk of this matter is too great, so I have to think about it more carefully. I don’t dare to act rashly.”

Chen Shou responded like this, but in his heart he was thinking about how to continue to stabilize Shi Dami, and at the same time, he was trying to find a way to completely crush this conspiracy and prevent it from succeeding.

Seeing Chen Shou's appearance, Shi Dami thought that he was really moved. He was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Then you are willing to do this? Don't worry, as long as you can do it, I won't do it." I will treat you badly, but the benefits will certainly come from you.”

Chen Shou pretended to sigh, as if after a long ideological struggle, he gritted his teeth and nodded slowly in agreement.

"That's all, Brother Shi, I'll just agree to this. But I must not let anyone know about this, otherwise my reputation in this life will be completely ruined. I will find a way to get close to Xi Yu first, Then find an opportunity to find out when his birthday is, and follow this clue to slowly find out his birth date. "

When Shi Dami heard this, he was so excited that he held Chen Shou's hand tightly again, shook it vigorously, and said with gratitude: "Chen Shou, I really belong to you! I knew you were a courageous and intelligent person. This matter If it works, both you and I will benefit a lot, and I’m so grateful to you.”

Chen Shou looked at Shi Dami's eager and excited look and sneered in his heart, but just nodded slightly on his face.

Chen Shou thought for a while and then said: "In that case, you might as well wait for the news at my house. What do you think?"

When Shi Dami heard this, his face showed some hesitation, and he was obviously a little worried.

Seeing this, Chen Shou spread his hands helplessly.

"If you are so worried, then I have no other choice."

Shi Dami quickly put on a smile, waved his hand and said: "How can I not be worried? I can trust you. But, I am thinking, can you find a way to bring me into Youzhou? For example, you can Call me a follower by your side, so that I can know the progress at any time and feel more at ease. "

As he spoke, Shi Dami looked at Chen Shou eagerly, full of expectation.

Chen Shou frowned slightly and then asked: "Then if I really bring you into Youzhou, where will you live? You can't live in an inn all the time, it would be so eye-catching."

Shi DaMi nodded nonchalantly.

"It's okay to stay in an inn. As long as you act cautiously, nothing will go wrong."

Upon seeing this, Chen Shou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Since you said so, fine, I'll try my best to make arrangements. But you have to be very careful and don't let anything happen due to a moment of negligence."

But I thought in my heart, let him agree to it first, and then look for opportunities to disrupt his wishful thinking later.

Chen Shou said: "In that case, let's go on the road at noon. You can come with me."

When Shi Dami heard this, his eyes suddenly shone with excitement, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

He never expected that this matter would go so smoothly. He originally thought that it would take a lot of talking and persuasion, but he nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, everything is up to you. This is really great. I can't wait."

As he spoke, he began to pack up his belongings, as if he had already seen the scene where he was done.

Chen Shou looked at Shi Dami's appearance and sneered secretly in his heart, just waiting for the right opportunity to completely crush his sinister plan.

Xi Yu was sitting at the desk, looking at the scroll in his hand, when news from the county magistrate came from his subordinates.

He unfolded the letter and looked at it. It said that a rather suspicious person had been targeted.

The county magistrate spoke sincerely and asked if he could catch this man with the help of Xi Yu's secret guards.

Xi Yu thought for a moment and felt that this matter might not be simple, and that there might be some mystery behind it. He immediately nodded in agreement, called the secret guard Qin Feng, and said with a serious look: "Qin Feng, the county magistrate found out If you find a suspicious person, go and cooperate with them immediately. Be sure to capture that person. If you encounter resistance, you can deal with it as appropriate, but try to keep him alive for subsequent interrogation to find out the reason behind it. "

Qin Feng accepted the order, clasped his fists and saluted, then quickly turned and left to gather people to prepare for the mission.

Xi Yu was still sitting there, frowning slightly, secretly thinking about what kind of trouble this suspicious person would get involved in.

Then, Qin Feng and Liu Yidao, the leader of the government officials, led a group of government officials and rushed all the way, and soon they arrived at the village.

The village was peaceful at this time. The villagers were coming and going, each busy with their work. The children were laughing and playing on the roadside. They had no idea that such a group of people were coming to investigate a suspicious person.

Qin Feng had a stern look on his face and glanced around sharply. He lowered his voice and said to Liu Yidao: "Brother Liu, we have to be careful. We must not alert the enemy."

Liu Yidao nodded heavily, winked at the government officials behind him, and everyone dispersed.

Liu Yidao came close to Qin Feng and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Qin, we have targeted a man. Although he has lived here for a while, he is not from this village."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked in the direction pointed by Liu Yidao, nodded secretly and said: "Let's be careful and go over to see where he came from."

After that, he took Liu Yidao and a few government officials and quietly walked towards where the man was.

They came to the courtyard gate of that house quietly. Liu Yidao pointed to the closed courtyard door and said softly: "Brother Qin, this is it. The suspicious person lives here."

Qin Feng nodded slightly and said calmly: "Well, leave it to me next. I will find a way to find out his details and never let the suspicious person slip under our noses."

Liu Yidao looked grateful and quickly clasped his fists in salute.

"Thank you so much, Brother Qin. With you taking action, the truth will come to light."

"It doesn't have to be like this. We are all working for the Prime Minister. This is our duty. There is no need to say thank you."

After that, Qin Feng made a silent gesture, indicating to everyone to hide first, while he carefully approached the courtyard door, ready to observe what was going on inside the house before making the next step.

After Qin Feng looked around the room, he gently winked at the people behind him, indicating that they would stay where they were, and then cautiously approached the courtyard door.

He first put his ear against the door and listened carefully to what was going on inside. There were some faint sounds coming from the house, but he couldn't tell what they were.

Afterwards, Qin Feng tried to push the courtyard door gently, but found that the door was only ajar. He slowly pushed open a crack and ducked in sideways. His movements were light and agile, without making any sound.

After entering the yard, Qin Feng became even more cautious. He ducked down and used the cover of the objects in the yard to approach the house.

Through the gap in the window, he saw a man's figure in the house. He was sitting at the table and seemed to be writing something. His expression was slightly nervous, and he would look out the window warily from time to time.

After a while, Qin Feng came out and whispered to Liu Yidao and others: "I just observed carefully. The people in this room are really suspicious. The situation may not be simple. But with so many of us gathered here, it is easy to alert the snake. , but it is not conducive to subsequent investigations.”

After hearing this, Liu Yidao felt a little worried, but he also felt that what Qin Feng said was reasonable. He nodded and responded in a low voice: "Brother Qin is right. Let's withdraw first. You have to be careful."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, signaling for them to feel relieved.

Afterwards, Liu Yidao took the government servants and left here quietly.

After everyone left, Qin Feng found a hidden location to hide, keeping his eyes fixed on the house, preparing to continue to secretly observe every move of the people in the house, waiting for an opportunity to take further action.

At this time, Qin Feng took advantage of the cover of the yard and approached the house little by little, almost at the closest distance to the man.

He quietly looked through the gap in the window and found that the man was very handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. The outline of his face was somewhat tough, but his expression had a vague meaning that was unpredictable.

After a while, the man looked like he was about to go out. He first arranged his clothes in the house, then looked around cautiously, then slowly opened the door and walked out.

Seeing this, Qin Feng did not dare to slack off at all. He followed lightly, always paying attention to maintaining a suitable distance, so as not to lose him or let the other party notice him. His eyes were fixed on the man's back.

He secretly speculated in his heart where he was going and what secrets he was hiding.

Qin Feng carefully followed the man all the way, like a ghost, his footsteps light and silent.

The man turned around and finally came to a dense forest.

Entering the dense forest, the man first stopped and looked around alertly. His eyes were so sharp that they seemed to penetrate every bush and tree. He didn't seem to relax until he confirmed that no one was around. With one breath, his shoulders relaxed slightly.

However, Qin Feng has extremely strong professionalism and tracking ability. He cleverly used trees, bushes, etc. as cover to hide his aura so well that the man could not detect his presence.

Qin Feng continued to hold his breath and follow quietly, waiting for the man's next move.

After a while, Qin Feng saw the man take out a human skin mask from his sleeves and put it on his face slowly and skillfully.

In the blink of an eye, the originally handsome face turned into that of a woman, with curved eyebrows and a different kind of charm.

Immediately afterwards, the man took out a set of women's clothes from his cuffs and put them on in a few moments. Even his hair took out a wig and put it on at some point.

After some fiddling with it, there was no flaw, and she was completely dressed up to look like a graceful woman.

After everything was ready, the man walked out of the woods with light steps.

Qin Feng continued to follow him calmly, wanting to see where this "woman" was going and what she planned to do.

After a while, Qin Feng followed and saw the "woman" dressed as a man coming to a village. "She" walked straight to a house, stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, a crisp voice came from the room and asked: "Who is it?" (End of Chapter)
