C117 The World Forgets It



C117 The World Forgets It

Wu Xi was really confused right now.    

    

To be more precise, he had no way to understand Xiao Yun.    

    

What kind of person was Xiao Yun? He had never paid much attention to him until the emergence of a Saint Grade. Until the Saint Grade, he was a common playboy in the capital. Usually, he would do some bad things. It wasn't a big deal, but it was enough to make people hate him.    

    

Then, this guy appeared out of nowhere. Each and every one of them was shocking!    

    

And what he paid the most attention to was the matter of Xiao Yun being locked in the harem by His Majesty!    

    

What did this mean?    

    

He couldn't say for the time being.    

    

However, he knew what he should do. Therefore, when Xiao Yun arrived at his mansion, he didn't even need to talk about the invitation. He just entered the mansion and welcomed him directly. He even ordered his servants to prepare some food and wine.    

    

Saving someone during a disaster was highly valued by His Majesty. This explained his name as a Saint Grade.    

    

But at the same time, the temperament that this guy portrayed was a little carefree, especially when it came to the fruits. It was rude and rash.    

    

He was clearly a guest, but he spoke to Young Master Lee like a master.    

    

This was similarly very rude.    

    

Wu Xi realized that he couldn't see through him!    

    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and Shangguan Qing'er hurriedly wiped him clean.    

    

He then said, "Young Master Lee, what are you doing here? You are a businessman in your family. It is not a good thing to run to your hometown all day long. It will affect the reputation of the pavilion elder."    

    

Young Master Lee hurriedly explained, "I only heard that the pavilion elder is responsible for the disaster relief. I was worried that this matter would be too difficult, so I wanted to help."    

    

"Help?"    

    

"Yes."    

    

"How can I help?"    

    

"Our Lee family's trade caravans have always been well-connected, and we have a lot of bodyguards as well. Food on the road is a huge matter, and it requires a lot of manpower and resources. Although our Lee family doesn't have the ability to take on this task, at least in the capital... There are no other merchants more suitable than us! "    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "This young master heard that your Lee family is very rich. People even say that your Lee family is as rich as an enemy country. But I only think that it is an exaggerated statement. I don't think that you are the most powerful merchants in the world. But now that I heard it, it seems like your Lee family is really strong. I have underestimated you all."    

    

Young Master Lee smiled bitterly and said," Young Master Xiao has the heart of the world. Naturally, he doesn't pay much attention to small families like us. "    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I am not that noble, but I have been delayed for too many years. A lot of information would take a long time to fully understand. I can now know the name of Lee family. Even if it's not bad, it's still considered strong or weak compared to your Lee family. It has nothing to do with it."    

    

Young Master Lee smiled bitterly.    

    

He did not know what kind of explanation this was.    

    

Xiao Yun continued, "That means you came here because you wanted Prime Minister Wu to give you the task of transporting the disaster relief? Have you thought about it? If the Imperial Court did not have that much money... If it's not enough to pay you, what do you think? "    

    

"This..."    

    

Young Master Lee was stunned and said with a bitter smile, "This should not be possible, right? Why can't the Imperial Court even take out this little amount of money?"    

    

" Oh!"    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "In that case, you really don't want to work for nothing. You also want to take on this big job. Make a good profit... To be honest, although I can understand your way of doing things, but I don't agree with you. Even this young master, who doesn't have anything to do with me, doesn't have anything to do with me. Almost all of Xiao family's savings have been used in an attempt to save this locust crisis, but all of you are thinking of earning money from it. "    

    

"This..."    

    

Young Master Lee really didn't know how to respond to such words.    

    

Xiao Yun turned around and asked Prime Minister Wu, "Elder, what do you think about this matter?"    

    

Wu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "The Imperial Court is indeed unable to afford this salary."    

    

He really felt very bitter right now.    

    

On one hand, it was about the disaster relief. On the other hand, when Xiao Yun came, he completely treated this place as his home and as his master. On the contrary, he was like a guest that he had invited.    

    

This action of occupying a magpie's nest, even though he was a respected elder, he was powerless to overturn it. This made him extremely distressed.    

    

What was the key?    

    

Was he thick-skinned?    

    

No!    

    

The key was his aura!    

    

Xiao Yun sat there with a smile on his face, but there was a coldness in his eyes as if he was looking at the world!    

    

It gave people the feeling of "looking down from above" and "above all living things"!    

    

Xiao Yun touched his nose and said, "Let's not talk openly. Since everyone is here, there is a saying that this young master must ask clearly first. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about what happens next."    

    

Young Master Lee quickly said, "Young Master Xiao, just say it."    

    

Wu Xi also helplessly said, "Nephew, just say it."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and then asked, "When Prime Minister Wu heard that he was going to be responsible for the disaster relief, the first thought that popped up in your mind, is there any idea of making a fortune from this disaster?"    

    

"This!"    

    

Wu Xi was shocked.    

    

Xiao Yun asked again, "Young Master Lee, your Lee family has brought gifts. Why did you come here so quickly? If you want to take the initiative, will you also want to earn a share from the calamities? Business is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. You will run with all your might. So this is a chance for all of you to defeat your competitors. Am I right? "    

    

" Huh? "    

    

Young Master Lee also panicked.    

    

Therefore, Wu Xi and Young Master Lee looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.    

    

Because they did have such thoughts!    

    

But who would say such a thing in front of them? !    

    

This Young Master Xiao didn't seem to be a hothead. How could he do such a crazy thing?    

    

"Are you all thinking that I, Xiao Yun, am a madman? I can even say such a thing out loud?"    

    

The two of them were shocked again. They looked at Xiao Yun at the same time and did not say anything. However, they were thinking the same thing in their hearts. "So you know it yourself!"    

    

Xiao Yun spread his hands and continued, "Actually, you should know that I am a crazy guy. After all, I broke Imperial Tutor Zhao's hand! It seems that I am still disabled now, right? What else do I have to do and not dare to say? "    

    

" This... " Young Master Lee helplessly smiled bitterly and said, "You seem to be right."    

    

Xiao Yun continued, "In fact, it is better than anything! I will tell you the truth today. He originally wanted to hide it and say it in a more subtle manner. Let you comprehend it based on your ability, and then everyone will be happy. After all, the most foolish thing to do is to have a deep conversation. "    

    

He shrugged his shoulders again. "Time! What the Great Qin Country lacked the most right now was time. There was no time for us to talk in a strange way. If we don't delay the time for an incense stick to burn, many more people will die in the Great Qin Country! I hope to save them as much as possible. I hope to save one more person. Do you understand my feelings?"    

    

The two of them looked at each other, and their expressions immediately became serious.    

    

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and said seriously, "I also said before that I would let His Majesty choose Prime Minister Wu this time. It was my idea and also my request. Prime Minister Wu, everyone in the world says that you are cunning, cunning, and greedy. They always feel that you are useless, but they don't even think about it. How can a useless person be the Pavilion Elder? Just based on your already deteriorating family, or on the fact that His Majesty found you pleasing to the eye... Just like that?"    

    

When Wu Xi heard this, he was angry at first, but he instantly fell silent.    

    

Xiao Yun said in a clear voice, "The world has forgotten that you are only at the sixth grade when you are young. You barely managed to win a ninth-grade official and were sent to the most remote place. The world has forgotten how you benefited your side. It only rises once every three years. It was a huge change in nine years. The world has forgotten that you have been busy in the Imperial Court for fifty years. Now, you are close to eighty years old, and you have not taken a day off, and you have nothing to waste. The world had forgotten that the Cabinet was in such a state. You've done a great job!"    

    

Wu Xi was shocked. His body trembled slightly, then he let out a long sigh and said, "Sigh, it's all in the past. Why are you bringing him up?"    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "People not only forget your good, but also do not know what kind of power you have! Just like now, if His Majesty let any other official know about this disaster relief, Young Master Lee, will you immediately pay a visit?"    

    

Young Master Lee subconsciously shook his head.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled. "This is Prime Minister Wu's capability. All of you are officials. From the peddler to the peddler, you can speak. You can talk about certain things that can never be put on the table. The things that most officials spend their entire lives touching are just your daily life! "
