Chapter 188 Holy King Draft (4)
"Wei, Master Wei, are you kidding?"
But they really couldn't laugh anymore.
Is this Emperor Yue a hottie?
It’s okay for those powerless people like them to fight and rob each other, but people like Lord Wei who are handsome, powerful and rich also want to get a share of the pie.
In fact, in their view, Emperor Yue can only be regarded as a useless person. He has no meat to eat and tastes to throw away. There is absolutely no reason to ask local overlords like Wei Canghao to follow the trend.
"Look...do I seem to be joking?"
Wei Canghao's expression was solemn. Under the sun, his black hair was tied back casually. His face was chiseled, his jawline was beautiful and firm, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, and his proportions were perfect.
Yes, it's not like he was joking.
It's just that they suddenly felt that they were a little...ridiculous.

"Brother, brother...brother..."
Li Yehe raised his head impatiently and asked, "What's your name?"
"Bah!", the door was kicked open, and Li rushed in: "Brother, this is terrible, Emperor Yue is going to choose a concubine, and Sister Xu is about to get married to someone else!"
Li Yehe's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up from behind the desk.
"Who said that?"
Li Niao waved his hand: "Who said that? The government has posted an announcement. There are male drafts all over the country. Anyone with suitable conditions can sign up."
He narrowed his eyes: "...what conditions?"
"Good-looking and from a good family background." Li Niao blurted out.
After hearing this, Li Yehe only felt ridiculous: "There are not even ten thousand but thousands of men with this kind of condition in Jingguo. Is it possible that she wants to include all these people in the harem?"
And this kind of condition is too casual. What does she think of marriage?
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Li Niao came over.
"My marriage to her has been cancelled. She is now Emperor Yue. She wants to have a harem of three thousand people. She wants to hug her from both sides. Who can interfere with her?" Li Yehe said with a cold face.
Seeing that he didn't mean what he said, Li Niao couldn't help but feel bad about him: "Yes, Sister Xu is now on top of the world. In the past, her five fiancés all disliked her and had to break off the engagement with her. Now it's better. She has suddenly become a Emperor, everyone is vying for her, but it’s your turn.”
How could Li Yehe not know that Li Niaoniao deliberately said such words to irritate him, but it really irritated him.
"Can we be blamed for this? She changes whenever she wants. Her origin is unknown and mysterious. We don't even know what kind of person the person we are engaged to is."
"No matter what kind of person she was, brother, don't give up on Sister Xu. Otherwise, you can also participate."
Li Yehe asked with a dark face: "Are you asking me to choose a concubine? To be one of her many men?"
Li Niao smiled dryly and took a step back: "If you want Sister Xu to be the only one, just fight for it."
The more she thought about it, the more she was right: "Just compete for favor. When the weak water Sanqian only takes your scoop, you will be the queen of Jingguo, the biggest one in the harem. By then, won't everyone else be the same?" If you like the decorations, keep them. If you don’t like them, deal with them secretly.”
After what she said, Li Yehe was fascinated and felt that the future was promising.
"...Are you so sure that your brother and I can take over the palace?"
"Of course." Li Niao's eyes widened, and his pupils were filled with admiration: "You can defeat so many beautiful men just by your unique face, plus our Li family's status in Sheyuan , I’m sure there are few people in the world who can compare with my brother.”
Li Yehe's eyes flickered and he was hesitant: "Then... shall I also sign up?"
"A must."

Guyue Mansion
"Jia Rong, my grandfather is looking for you, go with your mother quickly."
As soon as Gu Yue Jiarong entered the door, he was pulled to the main hall by his mother. Almost all the important elders of the Gu Yue family gathered here. When they saw his arrival, they had different expressions. "Grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, father, aunts and uncles."
After saluting one by one, he stood up straight.
"Garyon, you are here."
Gu Yueqing is now seventy-eight years old. He is sitting in the main seat, looking at Gu Yue Jiarong with pride and joy, looking dignified, elegant and polite.
Among the younger generation, only Gu Yue Jiarong wins his heart the most and satisfies him the most.
"Grandpa is looking for his grandson, but something happened?"
"There is something very important that I want to discuss with you. Grandpa hopes you will not refuse."
"Grandpa, it's okay to just say it."
Gu Yueqing did not hesitate and said directly: "Grandpa knows that doing this may wrong you, but grandpa still wants you to participate in Emperor Yue's draft."
Gu Yuejiarong looked at his grandfather and his father in surprise.
"Jia Rong, this matter must be done by you." Gu Yue Jiarong's father also looked solemn.
Gu Yuejiarong was stunned for a moment. He neither agreed immediately nor refused. He just asked: "Why does it have to be me?"
His father said: "My Gu Yue family has taught its disciples for generations to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and to conduct the world with benevolence, righteousness and morality. The former Yue Emperor was unable to bear the heavy responsibility. All we can do is to be wise and protect ourselves, but now this Yue Emperor, she destroyed the temple and drove away Xuanmen, killing rebels and rebels, she is exactly the monarch that the Gu Yue family has dreamed of.”
The Gu Yue family has always been dissatisfied with the Taoist sorcerers. Most of these people are those who use their skills to dominate others and cannot be offended. Once they are offended, their retaliation methods can range from death to death to annihilation of the family.
There are also interests that others cannot see, but the Gu Yue family has long understood, such as the interference of divine power in politics and the decline of imperial power. As a result, students like them, who have read poetry and studied hard, have never been taken seriously and appointed.
Now all this is about to change, and this change is bound to be a thorny and bumpy road.
"My child, you represent not only you, but also the attitude of our Gu Yue family. Letting you accompany you is because I believe that with your ability, you can definitely assist your majesty, influence your majesty, and create a new Jingguo with her. ." Gu Yueqing looked at him deeply.
Gu Yuejiarong thought for a while, and his slightly frowned eyebrows finally relaxed. He bowed his hands and said, "My grandson agrees."

Behind the high mountains and a wide open river is the location of the Twelve Chain Village.
A bonfire party is held every year in the village, which is intended to match young men and women in the village. It is also a kind of blind date meeting.
This year Chi's mother forced Chi Jiangdong to attend because his engagement has been terminated and he is single again. He must go to have fun. What if he falls in love with a beautiful girl in the light of the fire?
Chi Jiangdong had never been interested in these things, but he couldn't resist Chi's mother's teasing, so he changed into a village uniform and appeared at the bonfire party.
As soon as he appeared, he was naturally the center of attention, and most of the girls turned their attention to him.
They danced and sang around him, and took the initiative to throw flowers at him to express their feelings, but Chi Jiangdong always had a cold face, indifferent, like a wooden man.
This made Chi Mu anxious. She dragged the person aside, put her hands on her hips and asked, "Xiaosi, what's the matter with you? You haven't taken a fancy to any of these beautiful girls?"
"No." he asked dryly.
This expression isn't quite right.
"Do you...have a sweetheart?"
The question was caught off guard and hit Chi Jiangdong's vital point instantly. His pupils dilated, his face and ears turned red immediately, but he strongly denied: "I, I didn't."
Knowing a son is better than his mother, Chi’s mother understood when she saw this.
"Dumped?"
Chi Jiangdong's expression froze: "..."
