Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System - Chapter 861 - 821: The Frightened King You
A little eunuch suddenly rushed in from outside, all flustered.
When he saw the man, his eyes instantly lit up...
The man, none other than the emperor's personal eunuch, coming here was indeed like delivering money to him.
It seems my conjectures aren't far off; the King must be feeling anxious now.
Heh. Just a moment ago, he didn't believe my words and even tried to investigate me.
Investigate now, will you? Frustrated, aren't you?
You didn't believe me before, but in the end, you're coming to invite me, aren't you?
Still, this guy is quite peculiar; his grasp on human nature is remarkably accurate.
As the little eunuch entered, without waiting for him to speak, he feigned a very weak appearance, coughed twice, and then spoke to the little eunuch:
"Cough, cough, not knowing Eunuch Liu was gracing us with his presence. Normally, I should welcome you, but alas, my health is a bit inconvenient at the moment, please forgive me."
However, how could Eunuch Liu at such a moment care about what the other was saying? He was extremely anxious to bring him to the King.
It's a joke, the King is in a rage right now. š»šāÆāÆš¤šššš°ššš.šøšš®
If I don't get this guy to the King immediately, my own life may be at risk.
Compared to my life, what are manners? They're nonsense!
Thus, he quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Daoist Wu, repeatedly saying "Don't worry about formalities," and hurriedly spoke:
"No need, no need. Before Daoist Wu, I'm just a junior.
How dare I trouble Daoist Wu to come out and greet me.
It's like this, Daoist Wu, we must go see the King urgently, the King is very anxious."
In the past, when Eunuch Liu came to deliver decrees, he usually would receive some benefits.
Even when dealing with high-ranking officials, it was no exception, and if no one showed anything, he would hint subtly.
After all, as they say, 'the Prime Minister has a seventh-rank officer at his doorstep.'
Moreover, being the King's lackey, when going out even a third-rank official would have to flatter him.
But today was different from the past; Eunuch Liu wouldn't dare ask for benefits from Daoist Wu.
Now he just hoped to invite Daoist Wu quickly.
Besides, given the current situation, Daoist Wu was clearly very weak, possibly unable to go over there, if that were the case, how could he explain himself?
"But, my health is really struggling right now, going to see His Majesty in such a state might bring disgrace to the throne."
At this point, Daoist Wu displayed a slightly troubled expression.
Eunuch Liu on the other side almost wanted to kneel.
"Ancestor, hey, what time is it now, who cares about disgrace in the throne room? It's an emergency, even if you went with no pants, the King wouldn't blame you."
Now in Dayou, perhaps only Daoist Wu could resolve the crisis.
Seeing the little eunuch's panicked and troubled expression, Daoist Wu knew it was enough, shouldn't push it too far.
These few exchanges had already shown his frailty, leaving an impression of being wounded in duty to the King.
However, if he pushed too far, it might stir the King's displeasure.
In that case, there wouldn't be good consequences for him.
Thus, Daoist Wu first showed a difficult expression, then sighed helplessly, shook his head, and muttered:
"Ah, alas, alas. If I can resolve this divine punishment, even at the cost of my life, what harm is there? Prepare a sedan chair and carry me there."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu's face immediately beamed with joy.
Regardless of the other's physical state now, as long as he could get him to the King, it was no longer his concern, his task would be beautifully completed.
Like the saying goes: 'Better a dead Daoist than a dead eunuch.'
Why should I care if the Taoist lives or dies? Just don't let it involve me.
Nearly half an hour later, Daoist Wu was carried by his disciples into the King's palace.
Upon seeing Daoist Wu, the King's previously restless heart felt like finding a lifeline, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Looking at Daoist Wu being carried, he was briefly stunned, then hastily inquired about his health condition.
Of course, still at this moment, even sitting on the couch, Daoist Wu clearly knew the King asked about his health not out of genuine concern, but to know if he could continue serving.
To see if he could withstand the divine punishment.
Thinking this, Daoist Wu immediately presented a slightly weak yet very resolute posture:
"Your Majesty need not worry, this matter is already fully handled, just waiting for the offerings, divine punishment will naturally dissipate.
Furthermore, through my communication, divine punishment agreed, as long as the offerings are adequate, will grant Dayou a great blessing."
The reason Daoist Wu spoke of divine punishment bringing a blessing to Dayou was to deceive King You.
He wanted to obtain more wealth from King You by promising great fortune.
As for whether a blessing would indeed come, that was not his concern.
Anyway, he had negotiated with Heavenly Dao, if the offerings were appropriate, perhaps the blessing would descend.
If the offerings were insufficient and Heavenly Dao was unsatisfied, it wouldn't be his fault, it would be King You's stinginess.
Only when King You heard this did he finally let out a long breath.
The blessing or not was secondary, irrelevant; as long as the divine punishment didn't come, maintaining his status was satisfactory.
After all, as long as divine punishment didn't descend, the throne was secure, more important than anything.
However, just then, suddenly a noisy commotion was heard outside the hall, followed by the little eunuch rushing in in a panic.
