Chapter 30: What Is Loyalty

Zuo Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you say to your husband?"

Xu You knew that he had heard it clearly, but his mind couldn't turn around for a moment. He lifted up a few porcelain pots on the table and poured water slowly into the cup, giving him time to think about it.

After a glass of water was seven points full, Zuo Qi woke up and hurriedly held the cup in his hand, saying that he didn't dare. Then he looked gloomy and said, "We lowly people have received great kindness from the man, but we only want to repay our lives for the rest of our lives. As for other things, we have not considered too much!"

Xu You shook his head and said, "Loyalty is right, but loyalty has the difference between loyalty and stupidity. You have been following Yuan for many years and reading and literacy, so you should also understand the Confucian classics. What is loyalty?"

Zuo Teng picked up the cup, took a sip of water, then placed it on the table, lowered his head and said silently.

"The Master said, 'The king and the ministers are courteous, and the ministers serve the kings with loyalty', but now, if you treat you with courtesy, it is not easy for Mr. Yuan to be afraid of him even if you meet him. The communication between them depends entirely on Feng Tong, but this time, because of my reason, you offended him so badly, and I don't think you would say anything good to Mr. Yuan."

Zuo Qi knew about this. He had been in the Yuan Mansion for so many years, but he offended many people because of his upright personality, which led to his unrestrained promotion. Later, he encountered more walls, slowly wiped out a little edge and developed a smooth temperament. However, his bones were still different from those who were changing their ruthlessness and climbing up by any means, so he offended Feng Tong on the boat.

Who is Feng Tong? That is Yuan Jie's most confidant person. He offended him and actually announced the end of his future in Yuan's mansion, so Xu You's words are not alarmist.

"If you offend me, you will offend me," Zuo Qi smiled bitterly and said, "At worst, you can be my military waiter. As long as you can get a salary, you can support yourself!"

Xu You raised his eyebrows and said, "The military waiter has not started a family?" It is said that he is in his thirties, although he is a low-ranking family, but he is a military waiter. The salary and rewards he receives are already higher than the living standards of ordinary people. Even the clerks in some government officials cannot compare with them. He should have a wife and children who are happy, so why are they still single?

"I have married two times, and both died of illness one after another, leaving behind a son and a daughter, and died at the age of five, and then I became indifferent to this."

So that's it, this is also a sad person. But being single is not alone, and he has no worries. Xu You sighed: "Although the military guard is open-minded and does not care about these identities, I am afraid that the military guard will not be able to settle for the next best thing! In order to deal with Siyaojian, the 100-man team you led has suffered more than 30 casualties, and the battle losses are as high as 30%. You don't need to think about it. Someone in the military in the mansion will criticize this... They are in high positions and do not engage in military affairs. They don't care how powerful the Siyaojian is. They only know that Yuan, one of the top clans of Chu, actually suffered so many casualties when fighting against a few tourists from the rivers and lakes. It's a blessing to not be punished. As for the position and salary of the military guard, don't have any hope..."

Zuo Qi was shocked. It was not that he was slow, but that he was busy with the aftermath of the soldiers who died in the battle. He had no time to rest, so he didn't expect this level for a while. This would be reminded by Xu You and immediately became like a needle and needle. He had few friends in the Yuan Mansion and had fewer friends. However, many people disliked him. If he really wanted to pursue it, he would not even have someone to speak for him. If he took a step back, he would definitely say some sarcastic gossip. With his personality, how could he bear the tragedy?

"I'm going to see the boss and explain the matter clearly..." Zuo Qiteng stood up, obviously he was already confused.

Xu You couldn't bear it, but he poured a basin of cold water to extinguish his last hope and said, "As soon as I saw Mr. Yuan, I proposed the issue of pension for the dead soldiers in battle..."

"What do you say to the Lord?" Zuo Qi's eyes looked expectant.

"He was a little impatient and said that this matter was not urgent and would discuss it again in the future, and then he never mentioned it again!"

Zuo Qi sat down dejectedly, with a confused expression. His life had long been equated with Yuan's family. Metaphysical dignity, glory, dream of making achievements, physical survival, and food and clothing as a person's basic dignity are closely related to Yuan's family. They are all fused from blood to bone marrow. So once you learn that it may be possible to be stripped from this group, the surging impact can be imagined.

"Don't be too pessimistic about military officials. With your cultivation and talent, where can the world be so great?" Xu You comforted.

Zuo Qi was silent for a while and whispered: "Although our division is not completely equivalent to slaves, we are not Qimin with household registration. In the eyes of the man-master, there is actually no difference from slaves. How can we have real freedom? Since we have been dependent on Yuan, from the beginning, our descendants of Yuan have been slaves of Yuan's family. The husband said that the world is so great, but there is no place for escaped slaves to live, let alone Yuan's escaped slaves. Who dares to take in them, and who dares to reuse them? Instead of being a dog with a broken family and being frightened all day long, it is better to let them be dealt with. The worst result is that they are demoted to tenant and farm in the manor."

This is the tragedy of the times. Under the control of the politics of aristocratic families, there are public servants, noble families, high families, and prosperous families, and there are people with a cold surname, and there is no way to make progress. What's more, Zuo Shi, a private part between the people of Qi and the slaves. Even though he is very skilled, the Yuan family, who has great careers at home, is ordinary. What can be done except accepting his fate?

When I think of years of hard work and fighting to live up to my life, but who knew that after being a military officer, I realized that the most common people in this world are frivolous people, and the family members are alienated from all over the country. Once a villain interferes, the end of the end is like him, who has no way to complain, and is guilty of guilt, and then wasted his life.

At this moment, Zuo Yu was completely disappointed. At this moment, Xu You suddenly said: "If Zuo Junhou really plans to leave here, he can make a move in front of Mr. Yuan. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least he will give you the identity of Qimin!"

Zuo Qi suddenly looked up, looked at Xu You, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr...."

"But you have to figure it out that a helpless Qimin, although he is more free, may not be as good as a slave or servant in Yuan's family."

After this moment of ups and downs, Zuo Qi's mentality had already thought clearly that he had such a personality. He stayed in the Yuan family forever. Moreover, this time he killed the Siyao Arrow, he might have to be ineffective. Once he was punished as a tenant, he would become a slave. If he could restore his identity as a civilian, he would always have a full meal with his sixth-rank skills, whether he was farming or going to a businessman, so why bother to look down on others here?
