For this simple reason, Fang Zhi appeared in front of Lu Zheng.
"Zi Zai Chuan once said, 'Time flies!' Day and night. " Fang Zhi took the initiative to lead the topic to his destination. He sighed and said, "It's a luxury to meet my classmates in the past. I met Liu Xi, the Duke of Lanting, a while ago. She's changed a lot. "
Lu Zheng snorted softly. How could she not change a lot?
She was the only person in the entire Langye Academy who had changed beyond recognition.
Not only had she changed from a hedonistic aristocrat to a feudal lord, but she'd even changed her gender. Fang Zhi saw that Lu Zheng had no intention of talking, so he brought up the interesting events of his youth. However, he was the only one smiling awkwardly. Lu Zheng didn't even bat an eyelid.
After a moment, Fang Zhi said, "Shaoyin plans to follow An Cui to the end of her life?"
Lu Zheng retorted, "How are you so sure that my lord is no match for Liu Xi?"
Fang Zhi said, "Liu Xi and An Cui. Whether An Cui wins or loses, Shaoyin, ask yourself, will you have a good ending? Even though you've lived in the countryside for a long time and rarely heard about the affairs of the feudal lords, you heard a few things on the way here. Just An Duoxi's behavior is beneath Shaoyin's notice, to say nothing of anything else. With your temperament, why would you wholeheartedly help a ruthless, ruthless, and merciless tyrant? It's true that the four factions of Nanman have a deep grudge against An Cui, but An Cui's behavior isn't just for revenge. It's more like he's venting his cruelty. You have many conflicts with him. Now, there's Hua Yuan whom An Cui favors. Your situation … "
Lu Zheng raised a hand to signal for Fang Zhi to shut up. He really didn't want to hear this.
"You're here to persuade Liu Xi?"
Fang Zhi laughed bitterly. "This lowly one is mediocre and clumsy. How am I qualified to be Liu Xi's persuader?"
Lu Zheng sneered. "Clumsy? I didn't hear it, but you make sense. "
"Why doesn't Shaoyin consider it carefully?" Fang Zhi said. "You're looking at An Cui coldly. He's not a good lord."
What conflict was the most difficult to reconcile between a subject and a lord?
Of course, it was political stances and opinions.
Lu Zheng was not a person without a mind of his own, and he was quite stubborn.
Unless one side backed down, he and An Cui would have an irreconcilable conflict because of their political views, and Lv Zheng's fate would not be good.
Fang Zhi didn't want to see Lu Zheng die in Jiang Pengji's hands, but he also didn't want to see Lu Zheng killed by someone who wasn't a wise ruler.
Lu Zheng shook his head. This matter couldn't be resolved with careful consideration.
It was true that he didn't like An Cui, but he wouldn't join the other side just because of this reason.
Lu Zheng's humble background had already been criticized by others. If he were to make such a capricious move, it was unknown how others would judge him.
Most likely, they would use their bloodline as an excuse. For example, they would say that the son of a lowly person did not have the demeanor of a scholar, and that he was a slave to Langye Academy …
Fang Zhi sighed. "I knew that you would reject me, but I didn't hold any hope. I only hoped that you would consider it carefully and not regret it."
This was the advantage of knowing one's background. After Lu Zheng rejected him once, Fang Zhi would not insist on persuading him because it was unnecessary.
Lu Zheng's confidence was firm. He would not change his stance just because of a few words.
If he forced Lu Zheng to accept Fang Zhi's recommendation, it would be counterproductive.
Lu Zheng accepted his kindness and nodded in agreement.
"I will consider it carefully."
Little did he know that Fang Zhi had not given up. Instead, he chose to use a roundabout way to save the country.
"To be honest, Shaoyin, an old friend asked me to collect an old debt from you."
Lu Zheng was stunned. He didn't know when he owed someone a debt and even provoked Fang Zhi to personally come to his door to collect it.
"What debt?"
Fang Zhi said, "Shaoyin, do you remember that you owe someone a promise? A gentleman keeps his word. You're also a person who keeps his word. You won't go back on your word. "
Lu Zheng thought for a while and knew who the debt collector was.
He never made promises easily. Of course, what he owed Jiang Pengji was not a promise, but a gambling debt.
After thinking about it, Fang Zhi was probably here to collect the debt on behalf of Jiang Pengji.
"Naturally, I won't go back on my word." Lu Zheng asked, "What did the creditor ask you to tell me?"
Fang Zhi said, "She asked you to accept your loss."
Ha, women!
Lu Zheng sneered in his heart.
"Buqu, ask her what she said at the time."
She had said that her request would not be for the two of them to collude. She would kill someone and he would hand over a knife.
If Lu Zheng really joined her side and helped her conquer the world, what was the difference between that and handing over a knife to someone?
It would be "helping a tyrant do evil."
Not to mention …
Lu Zheng was about to say something, but his expression suddenly froze. His eyes widened to the size of copper bells, and he suddenly shouted.
"Not good!"
"Not good?" Fang Zhi was scared out of his wits. He hurriedly asked, "What's not good?"
Lu Zheng looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
His bet with Jiang Pengji all those years ago had a premise!
"If Zixiao becomes mine in the future, you have to agree to one of my requests as long as it doesn't go against the principles of a gentleman."
According to the context, "become mine" definitely did not mean that he was on Jiang Pengji's side. The two of them had to have an indescribable relationship for the bet to be fulfilled! In other words, the flower of Langye Academy had already been bitten by a dog?
"Liu Lanting … I knew that a dog can't change its habits …"
Lu Zheng's face turned ashen, and he forcefully swallowed the last word.
Zixiao was not sh * t, but Jiang Pengji was indeed a dog.
As a lord of a region, she slept with her subordinate. How shameless could she be?!
Shameless!
Even a rabbit would not eat the grass near its nest. Zixiao had worked for her for so many years, but in exchange, he had been slept with by his lord?
Fang Zhi was confused. He did not understand, but he thought it was awesome.
He had stayed at Lu Zheng's place for two days. He did not know who had leaked the news, but Hua Yuan had come personally.
Fang Zhi frowned. "Hua Yuan is not on good terms with you. He came to visit … Could it be …"
Lu Zheng said, "Don't overthink it. This person is very easy to deal with."
If it was someone else, Fang Zhi would probably be detained. But if it was a lunatic like Hua Yuan, things might not be so certain.
Although Liu Xi was a dog, he was still a righteous person. He would not lay his hands on a classmate without a solid reason, let alone a classmate who had a good relationship with him. Hua Yuan, the imposter, had come to visit. Rather than saying that he was testing Lu Zheng, it would be more accurate to say that he was here to see his classmate.
"What brings you here?"
Lu Zheng's hands were hidden in his sleeves. He looked at Hua Yuan with an unfriendly gaze.
Hua Yuan laughed. "I heard that Shaoyin's residence has an important guest?"
Lu Zheng said, "How interesting. Why don't you go and pamper that hot beauty of yours? Why do you care if I have an important guest?"
Hua Yuan said, "Buqu and I are classmates. I heard that he came to your residence, so I came to take a look. Why are you so angry?"
