Chapter 115 Xiao He's Dissatisfaction
When Liu Ji heard this, although he felt a little unhappy, he still had a smile on his face.
"Brother Xiao He, I know you are thinking about the overall situation."
But Fan Kuai is indeed a loyal and brave man, and I believe he can help us in the implementation of the imperial examination system."
"Loyal and brave?" Xiao He snorted coldly.
"The imperial examination system requires wisdom and talent, not mere bravery.
If you do this, it will only make the young master doubt our ability."
After hearing this, Liu Ji felt even more uneasy.
He knew that Xiao He was a shrewd and capable man, and that he was indeed too impulsive this time.
So he softened his tone and tried to persuade Xiao He.
"Brother Xiao He, I know I was wrong. But please give me a chance to prove Fan Kuai's worth."
“I promise he’ll be a great addition to our team.”
However, Xiao He's complexion still did not improve.
He looked at Liu Ji coldly, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
Seeing this, Liu Ji made up his mind and said.
"Brother Xiao He, if you look down on Fan Kuai and me, we will just leave.
Anyway, the world is so big, where can’t be home? "
After these words were spoken, Xiao He's expression finally changed slightly.
He stared at Liu Ji with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Seeing this, Liu Ji was secretly pleased with himself, knowing that his tactic of retreating in order to advance had worked.
Sure enough, after Xiao He was silent for a moment, he sighed and said.
"Liu Ji, why are you doing this? I don't look down on you and Fan Kuai, I'm just worried that your impulsiveness will ruin the master's important plan."
Liu Ji was overjoyed to see that Xiao He had loosened his temper.
He quickly took the opportunity to say, "Brother Xiao He, don't worry. I will keep an eye on Fan Kuai and won't let him act without thinking."
"We will definitely do our best to contribute to your imperial examination system."
When Xiao He saw Liu Ji's confident look, his worries were slightly relieved.
He shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, then so be it. But remember, the overall situation should be the most important."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Liu Ji responded repeatedly, and the smile on his face returned.
"Brother Xiao He, don't worry. We will definitely act cautiously and won't let you down."
The two smiled at each other. Although there was still a gap in their hearts, at least at this moment, they reached a compromise for their common goal.
Liu Ji and Xiao He walked side by side and returned to Xiao He's mansion.
Before they even entered the door, Liu Ji shouted, "Fan Kuai, come out to greet us!"
His voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if he was announcing some good news.
Fan Kuai had been waiting anxiously in the courtyard. When he heard Liu Ji's call, he immediately came out to greet him.
He was tall and strong, with a rugged face, and his muscles looked particularly strong in the sun.
However, when he saw the expressions of Liu Ji and Xiao He, his heart sank.
Liu Ji had a stern face and looked serious, while Xiao He remained silent.
Fan Kuai mistakenly thought that his plan had failed.
Although Fan Kuai was disappointed, he still cheered himself up and tried to comfort the two.
"Brother Liu Ji, Lord Xiao, don't worry too much. Even if I can't join Master Fusu's army, I will do my best to support your work."
When Xiao He heard Fan Kuai's words, he couldn't help feeling a little warm in his heart.
He smiled helplessly and finally spoke.
"Fan Kuai, you misunderstood. In fact, we have successfully recommended you to Prince Fusu."
