Chapter 1411

Although he was only a supervisor of the Imperial Kitchen.

It had already made him deeply realize the benefits of being an official.

Gu Hanyuan explained indifferently:

"Kangxi has requests of me, but hasn't offered me a satisfactory reward. Accepting the position of National Teacher would mean Kangxi using my reputation, so why should I be this National Teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao was greatly shocked.

He hadn't expected that the relationship between Wutian and Kangxi was not one of monarch and subject.

It even required Kangxi, the ruler of a nation, to beg Wutian.

This made him feel a bit more awe and eagerness toward Wutian.

If he could make Wutian his backer, it wouldn't just be a smooth official career and wealth.

Perhaps he could even walk sideways in the Qing Guo.

Wei Xiaobao feigned an expression of righteous indignation and said:

"The Emperor is truly too unreasonable. Since he has requests of others, he should offer a satisfactory reward. To think he even wanted to use Your Excellency Wutian."

In his heart, however, he was apologizing to Kangxi:

"Xiao Xuanzi, I'm sorry. I'm only speaking ill of you to help you win over Wutian."

As soon as Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, it drew an exclamation.

"You are Wutian?"

The one who exclaimed was Fang Yi, whose face was filled with terror.

Fang Yi had breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Wutian say he wasn't the National Teacher earlier.

Especially when she heard that even Kangxi had to beg him, she had developed some small thoughts.

Her only concern was that Wutian's attire was very familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere.

Now, confirmed by Wei Xiaobao, Fang Yi was suddenly panicked.

As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow.

Wutian's fierce reputation had long since spread to the Qing Guo.

Fang Yi was different from the innocent and naive Mu Jianping.

She knew how terrifying Wutian was.

Even Earth Immortals had died at Wutian's hands.

And the "Luo Wang" under his command had made the Song Guo restless.

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"This young lady also knows my name?"

Fang Yi said solemnly:

"Your Excellency Wutian is famous throughout the world, so naturally I know. Please, Your Excellency, spare us."

Although Wutian had no conflict with them.

She knew that Wutian and "Luo Wang" acted without restraint.

And she had just witnessed Wutian's miraculous sword qi.

It was inevitable that she would worry about him attacking them.

Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"Famous throughout the world? It's a fierce reputation, right? But you are still wearing a veil while begging for mercy, which is too insincere."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi hesitated for a moment.

She still reached out and took off the veil she was wearing.

A pretty face with delicate features and a beautiful complexion was revealed.

However, it was pale, clearly indicating she had been injured earlier.

Wei Xiaobao saw the beautiful Fang Yi.

He immediately muttered to himself:

"My goodness, so besides the little beauty, there is also a big beauty."

Wei Xiaobao's appearance was actually not bad.

But his actions and speech always revealed a lecherous air.

Naturally, women's first impression of him was very poor.

Fang Yi had originally only thought of Wei Xiaobao as a little eunuch who liked to talk nonsense.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel disdain.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly.

He said playfully:

"What? Is the little eunuch also interested in beauties?"

Wei Xiaobao was startled in his heart.

Worried that his identity as a fake eunuch would be seen through.

He hurriedly explained:

"Your Excellency Wutian is joking. I am just curious why such a beauty wouldn't be at home embroidering, but instead ran into the palace to be an assassin."

Wei Xiaobao did indeed have some quick wit.

His explanation was quite reasonable.

Gu Hanyuan said noncommittally:

"Little eunuch, what is your name?"

Wei Xiaobao was happy in his heart.

He answered respectfully:

"My name is Xiao Guizi."

His eunuch name was nothing worth hiding.

Both the Empress Dowager and Kangxi had called him that.

He thought that Wutian had likely already known.

But the significance of Wutian asking personally was different.

This represented a deepening of their relationship.

Gu Hanyuan was well aware of Wei Xiaobao's thoughts.

This was also the situation he had deliberately guided.

Otherwise, with Wei Xiaobao's wit, he would inevitably have been suspicious.

If he were to be slippery and cunning, it would be inconvenient to use him.

Gu Hanyuan ordered indifferently:

"Xiao Guizi, go out and send away the Imperial Guards who are searching."

He had already heard the movement of the Imperial Guards searching.

It was just right to send Wei Xiaobao away first.

"This..."

Seeing Wei Xiaobao hesitate, Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"I believe you can do it well."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao shivered.

He didn't want to leave an impression of incompetence in Wutian's eyes.

He hurriedly guaranteed:

"Your Excellency Wutian, rest assured, I will go and send them away right now."

With that, he hurried out the door.

Gu Hanyuan looked at the two women who were filled with fear with flickering eyes.

He said to Fang Yi, whose steps were becoming unsteady:

"If you don't stop the bleeding, you will die from excessive blood loss."

Mu Jianping exclaimed:

"Senior Sister, you are injured?"

Fang Yi said "Mm" with a troubled expression.
