Chapter 273 Working
"You too?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Tonghai, and quickly figured out the reason.
His situation is rather special; he came to this world alone, without any ties or concerns.
Qiao Wan is different from him because she came to this world because she has the same name as someone in this world.
Since they have the same name and surname, they will naturally inherit some of the plot of the original body, perhaps to survive, or perhaps for other benefits...
Xu Shu looked at Mu Tonghai: "Where are you from?"
Mu Tonghai shook his head and said, "We are not from the same place."
Xu Shu said, "Is the emperor the same as you?"
"Many people in this place are like me. We were sent to maintain the plot of this world because..."
"Because there is a character who has developed his own consciousness and is wreaking havoc on the plot." Xu Shu smiled, "It's Qiao Jianhong."
Mu Tonghai nodded: "But you have also seen his strength. Half of the country, no, it should be the entire country's soldiers are in his hands. If he was not unwilling, Jing Chao should have taken his surname long ago."
"So you are so powerful in the court, is it because..." Xu Shu simply made a bold guess, "Because he has almost killed half of the court? Could it be that Old Master Bai and the others have also..."
"My friend, your idea is too extreme. It hasn't reached that point yet." Mu Tonghai glanced at him. "My omnipotence in the court is just the plot arranged for me in the original book."
"Qiao Wan doesn't know?"
"She was dragged into this innocently, and is not a member of our administration. Of course, you too, my friend."
"Why was I involved?"
"Time and space confusion? System bug? Or is it the convergence of the world line?" Mu Tonghai said several possibilities in succession, and finally shook his head, "But I prefer to believe that it is because of Mu Jinghua."
"It seems that Qiao Jianhong is madly changing the plot, but in fact, he is not the only one in this world who has developed independent consciousness."
"You mean Xiao Mujin?" Xu Shu frowned. "He just developed his own consciousness. He didn't think of changing the plot."
"You just don't know." Mu Tonghai stood up. "Now that things have come to this, you came from the end of the world, you are powerful and smart, and you happen to be Mu Jinghua's lover. Perhaps all this is destined."
Xu Shu inexplicably felt something was wrong: "You don't want to tell me that it's my turn to correct the plot now."
Mu Tonghai choked, coughed lightly with a guilty conscience, and then said, "Only you can do it."
"As long as you take part in the military examination and gain honors, Your Majesty and I can find a way to divide Qiao Jianhong's power and take back the initiative."
"The other is Mu Jinghua. Because of you, he would not have been able to enter the palace, and would not have been able to interfere in government affairs. If he had not interfered in government affairs... the family would not have been seriously damaged, and it would have been difficult to determine whether Xiao Wuyan would win or lose in the future."
"And what about that brat?" Thinking of Xiao Wuyan's shameless appearance of always liking to stick to Mu Jinghua, Xu Shu was very disdainful, "I won't pave the way for that brat."
Mu Tonghai sighed: "I knew this would be the result."
"In that case, I'll leave." Xu Shu figured out what was wrong with Mu Tonghai and immediately lost interest in him.
Of course, I am even less interested in what he mentioned.
Mu Tonghai grabbed him and said, "Wait, my friend, you set the conditions. As long as I can do it, I will..."
"No." Xu Shu looked at him, "There's nothing about you that interests me."
Mu Tonghai stood there in a daze for a moment.
Seeing him like this, Xu Shu realized that this man was actually looking forward to his help, so he smiled and said, "It's not easy to do each of these things."
Mu Tonghai responded and nodded: "Yes, I know this is indeed a bit unreasonable, but..."
"But it's not difficult if you give enough benefits." Xu Shu continued.
"Benefits?" Mu Tonghai came back to his senses. "You can ask for anything, whether it's gold, silver, land, minerals or ironware, as long as it doesn't interfere with the development of the plot."
"You are too insincere." Xu Shu shook his head in disappointment.
Mu Tonghai looked at him with some confusion.
Xu Shu had no choice but to make his words clearer: "You mentioned the Administration just now, what is that?"
Mu Tonghai was stunned again, then he laughed: "When did I mention this? You must have heard it wrong."
"That's why I said you are not sincere." Xu Shu waved his hand and walked towards the door.
Mu Tonghai was just an employee of the Administration Bureau, and his thoughts were nowhere to be compared with Xu Shu's. When he saw Xu Shu was about to leave, he panicked: "My friend, don't leave. Let's talk it over. What do you want to know? If I have the authority, I will tell you everything."
"What is authority?" Xu Shushun dismounted from his horse, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Uh." Mu Tonghai looked at Xu Shu's unreserved actions and felt that he was being tricked. But since things had come to this point, he still said, "I am thirty-eight years old."
"Huh?" Xu Shu was puzzled.
"This age is very embarrassing in our world." Mu Tonghai sighed deeply, "The age limit for the entrance examination of the Administration is 35 years old or younger. I was admitted to the Administration when I was 35."
"Good luck." Xu Shu commented.
Mu Tonghai hummed and sighed: "I originally thought so too. I was very motivated for a while and secretly made up my mind to complete the internship task smoothly and become a formal employee."
"Good ambition." Xu Shu took a sip of tea.
"But the internship assignment I received is to come to this world and correct the plot line." Mu Tonghai's expression became more serious. "I am already 38 years old this year."
"The flow rate of this world is three times slower than our world, but I have been in this world for nearly... nine years."
"The best years of middle age are gone forever. My life..."
"Don't feel miserable, just get to the point." Xu Shu was a little speechless.
Mu Tonghai was about to cry, but was interrupted by Xu Shu without any emotion. He felt a little aggrieved for a moment: "My friend is not yet my age, so you can't understand my pain."
"In short, I'm just an intern, and I could be sent back at any time. I know very little about many things going on within the Administration."
"The emperor is also an intern?" Xu Shu actually felt a little sympathy for Mu Tonghai. No matter how wild his imagination was, he could not have imagined that Prime Minister Mu, who was so powerful in the court, was just a humble worker.
"His name is Zhao Nian. He is not an intern, but my direct supervisor." Mu Tonghai sighed, "You can understand that he is responsible for deciding whether I stay in the internship or not."
"So he won't intervene? It's all up to you." Xu Shu reluctantly understood, "Since he won't intervene, it means the matter is not serious enough for your administration to pay attention to."
"You can't say that." Mu Tonghai knew Xu Shu was not going to care and said quickly, "Once they pay attention, this world will be destroyed!"
"Can you bear to see your little hibiscus being thrown into the recycle bin by the management staff?"
Xu Shu: …
"Do you threaten me?"
