"I don't know you. I just feel that the name sounds very familiar. It's as if I've known you for a long time, but I can't remember where I've heard it." Wei Ci gave a perfect smile and then cupped his hands in the other before his chest to Liu She and his son. He said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "County Chief Liu and Langjun have safely arrived at the Feng Residence. I have not disgraced my master's orders, so I will not disturb you any longer. I am afraid that my master will be waiting anxiously, so I will take my leave first."
Liu She tried to persuade him to stay, but Wei Ci used the excuse that it was important to report and left.
Xu Ke asked in private, "Is that your new friend?"
Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes. She did not think that Wei Ci saw her as a friend.
It was obvious that this man called Wei Ci, for some unknown reason, was very repulsed by her. It was not considered hostile, but it was not friendly either. However, as long as it did not affect her safety, and Wei Ci was unwilling to spill his secrets, she could not be bothered to investigate the root cause.
"We just met once. He was ordered by Master Yuanjing to send me and my father off."
Master Yuanjing?
Xu Ke was surprised. Did his Langjun mean that he met the famous Master Yuanjing when he went to Ji Shan's hot spring last night?
He was the idol of many young people in Dongqing, and Xu Ke was no exception.
"Is Langjun Master Yuanjing's disciple?"
Xu Ke asked with a competitive look in his eyes.
"Yes, Master Yuanjing's disciple. I have some secrets, but … "Jiang Pengji smiled and said confidently," One can only be a thief for a thousand days. How can one guard against a thief for a thousand days? I want to see how long he can keep the secret in his stomach. "
Xu Ke was confused. He didn't know what his Langjun meant.
More importantly, why did Langjun describe him as a "thief"?
On the other side, Wei Ci was having a headache. Meeting Jiang Pengji yesterday was already outside of his plan. He did not expect to meet Xu Ke today. What was even more horrifying was that Xu Ke was actually by His Majesty's side at that moment … Did the sun rise from the west?
Thinking of Xu Xiaoyu, whom he had met before, and recalling the face he had just seen, Wei Ci felt conflicted.
He felt that there was something wrong with the way he woke up!
When did Her Majesty and Liu She have such a good relationship?
When did Her Majesty know Feng Jin at such a young age?
Since when was Xu Ke truly willing to serve His Majesty?
In fact, it was not the way he woke up that had a problem. It was the Emperor who had a problem.
Once he thought of her expression, mannerisms, and battle prowess that she was all too familiar with, Wei Ci silently suppressed this absurd thought.
Wei Ci did not expect that the matter that gave him a headache was not over yet.
As soon as he returned to the residence where the students of Langye Academy were staying, he acutely noticed that the surrounding atmosphere was slightly stagnant.
Looking around, not only did the students look unhappy, even Master Yuan Jing, who was always optimistic, looked cold.
This scene made Wei Ci's heart tremble. He had a faint ominous premonition.
"Master, I have sent County Chief Liu and his son safely to the Feng Mansion."
"Yes, I understand."
Mister Yuanjing seemed to have aged a little. His lips, which were usually curled, were now pressed into a straight line. His eyes were filled with frost.
"Master, did you encounter something difficult? Why do you look so distressed?" Wei Ci asked.
Master Yuanjing restrained his expression, but the melancholy between his eyebrows was still eye-catching.
"I'm fine. You can go and review your lessons. Don't go out easily these few days."
After saying that, he stood up with the support of the table beside him. His footsteps were faintly frivolous, which made Wei Ci very worried.
After Master Yuan Jing left, the suffocating silence in the room was finally broken.
Wei Ci looked at Zude, "Zude, you have always been taking care of Master. Do you know why Master is like this …"
Ever since Zude entered Langye Academy, he had volunteered to take care of the older Master Yuan Jing. Although this person was a little simple-minded and held a different philosophy from Wei Ci, Zude was extremely respectful to Master Yuan. He followed him all the time and almost never left his side.
Zude saw that his classmates in the room were all looking at him. Suddenly, the pressure doubled.
He could only bite the bullet and say, "This matter … Master strictly forbade me to say it …"
Wei Ci's expression turned cold. He flicked his sleeves and stood up. Since Zude did not want to say it, he would find out from other sources.
Most of the other students had the same reaction. Looking at the empty hall, Zude could not help but grit his teeth in anger and vent his anger by pounding the ground.
"Damn the Northern Borderline!"
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.
Jiang Pengji looked at Feng Jin, whose arm was tied up. His movement of raising his right hand was very stiff. He looked a little silly.
"Who asked you to play the hero? You knew that you couldn't beat him. Why didn't you call for my help earlier?"
Feng Jin smiled bitterly. His face was still a little pale, but it was much better than the night before.
"How can a man let a woman stand up for him?"
Jiang Pengji was secretly surprised. She said leisurely, "Tsk, if that's the case, why did you let the servant call for me last night?"
Feng Jin blinked his eyes. He did not care about his pride anymore. He supported his chin with one hand and looked at the stalemate on the chessboard.
"Because I suddenly realized that Lanting cannot be judged by ordinary women. All the men in the world are inferior to her. It is not embarrassing to ask for help."
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Looking at the chessboard, Feng Jin thought for a long time before putting down a chess piece. He said, "I thought that I would be able to avoid the disaster by helping the heir. I didn't expect that … my good intentions would go to waste …"
"He wouldn't have died if he didn't ask for it. This person is purely asking for it. I've just sent someone to inquire about the situation, and I've finally figured out what happened last night. " Jiang Pengji's expression was cold. She was thinking about the chessboard in her mind, but she said, "That heir is really spoiled. His family doesn't give him the moon if he wants the stars. When has he ever suffered a setback outside? He knew that the people who competed with him for the title of Courtesan Belle were from the Northern Borderline, but he did not back down after being reminded. Instead, he was fearless and even provoked them on purpose. He ordered his servants to beat them up … "
In the end, the heir of the Count of Zhenbei won the beauty. He won a great victory. Several people who competed with him for the title of Courtesan Belle were beaten to death.
Beating people to death was a small matter. Among those who were beaten to death, one of them had a high status in the Northern Borderline. That was a headache.
Now the Northern Borderline was unwilling to let go of this matter. They wanted an explanation from Dongqing.
According to Feng Jin's experience, the Emperor was now biased towards the Northern Borderline.
As long as it did not endanger his throne, they could consider any conditions.
At that moment, Liu She brought back terrible news.
They had found a scapegoat. Coincidentally, it was someone Jiang Pengji knew, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
It turned out to be Han Yu, one of Master Yuanjing's disciples!
"How did Han Yu get involved in this matter?"
Although Jiang Pengji was smart, she still could not figure it out. It had nothing to do with Han Yu. Even if they wanted to find a scapegoat, they couldn't just randomly find one.
