Chapter 2344: Distributing Supplies and Winning People’s Hearts
Distribute cold-resistant supplies?
After hearing the news, the crowd looked at each other in surprise. Was King Ji so kind to them that he distributed cold-weather supplies?
They didn't receive such treatment from the rebels.
As everyone looked on in surprise, Li Shen came down from the platform. Zhang Zhiguan and Qu Zhixian had already arranged everything.
Piles of cold-weather supplies were sorted and arranged in a row.
The personal guards stand on his left and right to assist and protect him.
The guards were arranged to line up and queue up to receive their gifts.
There were a lot of supplies, and Li Shen did not cheat. From head to toe, everything was available, including cotton coats, quilts, gloves, etc.
When the first guard came to Li Shen, Li Shen smiled and put a set of equipment in the guard's hands.
"Work hard. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to meet your needs."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for your gift." The guard saluted and left.
"Work hard. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to meet your needs."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for your gift."
The second person was the same, Li Shen had already thought of the lines.
He needs to show his face in front of everyone and make them remember him.
The supplies were distributed very quickly, but there were a lot of people. Li Shen distributed the supplies personally in the front, and his personal guards distributed the supplies behind him. He stood aside and talked.
It was not until Li Shen had stood for more than half an hour and his back and waist were aching that Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Zhou Daowu took over.
And he sat aside and repeated what he had just said.
After the distribution was completed, the muscles on Li Shen's face were a little stiff.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. We should go back."
Wang Xuance looked at the sky.
"We won't be going back to Xizhou City today. Let's stay in Xizhou Villa for one night." Li Shen also looked up at the sky.
It's useless to look at the weather in this place. Unlike the Central Plains, the daytime is longer here.
Wang Xuance had no objection, so Li Shen rejected the request of Zhang Zhiguan and others to invite him to a banquet.
He left the workshop area with his guards and headed to the villa in Xizhou Prefecture.
"Brother Zhiqing, I wonder what Prince Ji wanted to say to you?"
After seeing Li Shen off and the three leaders returned to the tent, Zhang Zhiguan was the first to ask.
“Yes, Zhiqing, what did His Royal Highness Prince Ji tell you?
And why did you suddenly give up your title? And you didn't even discuss it with us beforehand. Your actions caught Brother Zhang and me off guard."
Qu Zhixian also asked, with a hint of blame in his tone.
Qu Zhiqing glanced at the two of them and replied:
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji kept me here because he asked the same question as my two brothers."
"Then I wonder how you would answer?" Zhang Zhiguan asked, staring at Qu Zhiqing trying to see something from his face.
Qu Zhiqing looked calm:
"To be honest, I don't have such great ambitions. I know I'm not up to the task, so I don't want a title."
"You really said that?" Qu Zhixian was a little unconvinced. He felt that Qu Zhiqing must be hiding something from them.
"Brother Zhiqing, the three of us have been through life and death together. Please don't treat us as outsiders. If you have anything to say, just speak directly.
This will also allow the two of us to be prepared.
Now that the three of us serve Prince Ji, we should advance and retreat together." Zhang Zhiguan said.
"My two brothers, I did say that. I'm a little scared. You should know that the Tang nobles in Chang'an were rewarded based on their merits.
Do you think that if we obtained the title so easily, they would resent us? How could we survive in the Tang Dynasty then?
So after much deliberation, I have decided not to accept this title. I will just work for Prince Ji with peace of mind and gain wealth and honor."
Qu Zhiqing spoke and looked at the two of them seriously.
"Well, what you said does make sense, but you are being a bit hasty. You should have discussed this with us beforehand.
Your worry is actually unnecessary. We are not going to enter the court of the Tang Dynasty. We are just staying in Xizhou.
Even if those nobles are dissatisfied with us, they can't do anything to us.
And don't forget, we have Prince Ji protecting us. Since we are working for Prince Ji's Mansion, will Prince Ji watch us being targeted?"
Hearing Qu Zhiqing's words, Zhang Zhiguan nodded in agreement. Hadn't he thought so too?
It's just that he figured it out later. Now it seems that Qu Zhiqing is just like himself, except that he didn't figure it out.
"Brother Zhang is even saying this. Zhiqing, you are a little impatient. You should have discussed this with us in advance."
Qu Zhixian also nodded in agreement.
"Well...I just thought of it at the last minute and didn't have time to think about it so much." Qu Zhiqing pretended to be embarrassed.
"So what did Prince Ji say later? Did he agree to your request?"
Qu Zhixian asked hurriedly.
"I agreed, and His Royal Highness Prince Ji also accepted me into the Prince Ji Mansion." Qu Zhiqing nodded.
"Really? They actually accepted you into Prince Ji's Mansion?" The two were immediately surprised when they heard this, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
"That's right, but I'm only here. King Ji doesn't fully trust me yet." Qu Zhiqing nodded again.
"Zhi Qing, you are truly blessed by misfortune. You lost your title, but gained the favor of Prince Ji, which is a blessing in disguise.
But are you really willing to give up your title? That's the title of the Tang Dynasty, not our Gaochang?"
Qu Zhixian felt a little emotional.
"Brother, things have come to this point. Whether you like it or not, there is nothing wrong with this."
Qu Zhiqing replied.
"Brother Zhiqing, I wonder what His Royal Highness Prince Ji has instructed you to do? Did he tell you what will happen to this place in the future?"
Qu Zhiqing was too stupid to want a title, and Zhang Zhiguan had no control over it, nor did he want to. He wanted to know what Prince Ji had planned, as it would be very important for his future.
"Prince Ji asked me to monitor you two." Qu Zhiqing said shockingly.
Zhang Zhiguan and Qu Zhixian were both shocked?
"What does this mean?" they both asked.
"It's to monitor your every move and see if you have done anything to offend Prince Ji's Mansion.
If there is any, report it to Prince Ji immediately."
The confusion between truth and falsehood makes it more convincing that King Ji did indeed ask him to monitor the two of them.
Zhang Zhiguan and the other two frowned.
"It seems that Prince Ji still doesn't trust us." Zhang Zhiguan said with a frown.
After hearing this, Qu Zhiqing laughed:
"Haha, Brother Zhang, isn't this normal? If Prince Ji said he believed us, that would be abnormal.
We were rebels before, and were forced to surrender to Prince Ji's Mansion after being captured.
Not to mention Prince Ji, even if it were me, I wouldn’t believe you.
His Royal Highness Prince Ji has shown great mercy by not killing us.
Otherwise, how could we brothers have such status now? As long as we abide by the law and work hard for the Prince Ji's Mansion,
Sooner or later, Prince Ji will trust us."
After Qu Zhiqing finished speaking, he added in his heart, as long as you can live to that time.

But it’s too difficult to create an account now, unless you have some special skills.)
