Early in the morning, Sun Mo was sleeping soundly when Dong He woke him up.
"What is it?"
Sun Mo frowned. (I'm already a great teacher now. Am I not qualified to sleep until I wake up naturally?)
You remind me of the time when I had to get up early in the morning to supervise the students' morning self-study.
Especially in winter, it was too difficult to endure.
"It's the steward of the Eldest Princess. He's asking for an audience."
Dong He felt very wronged. (I didn't want to wake you up, but I'm the butler of the eldest princess. Who would dare to stop me?)
Sigh!
If I became the number one maid in Jin Ling, the housekeeper would be more polite to me, right?
Sigh!
'Master, you have to work hard. My future depends on you.'
"Let him wait!"
Sun Mo said unhappily. After that, he pulled the blanket over his head and continued to sleep. Was the eldest princess so amazing? I'm not a bootlicker, nor am I an official of your Great Tang. What can you do to me?
If you infuriate me, I will go and become a dark master teacher.
"Master is still the domineering one!"
Upon seeing Sun Mo's appearance, Dong He suddenly felt a sense of heroism in her heart. She returned to the living room and reported.
"Master is resting. Just wait for him!"
After Dong He spoke, she took away the tea she had just served.
"Wait?"
The butler was dumbfounded. With his status, he had never been treated like this when he came out to invite people. Not only did he get to enjoy good food and drinks, he even got a red packet when he left.
Thinking of this, the butler was so angry that he slammed his palm on the table.
"Bastard, get Sun Mo to come out and see me!"
The steward roared, "Princess Royal has invited you, how dare you neglect her? Do you have any regard for the imperial prestige of the Great Tang? "
Most importantly, he was very cunning and used Li Xiu's name.
Dong He panicked a little. Just when she didn't know what to do, a clear and elegant voice drifted over from the second floor.
"Is the prestige of my Great Tang something that you can use to intimidate others so early in the morning?"
Li Ziqi appeared on the second floor in her pajamas. She had a sullen look on her face as she stared at the butler. "Is this how aunt teaches her servants?"
"Your … Highness?"
The housekeeper was shocked. Why are you here? And dressed like this?
If word of this got out, what would become of it?
Did the Imperial Family still want their face?
"I'm talking to you. Do you know your mistake?"
Li Ziqi berated.
"Your highness, I'm here on behalf of the eldest princess to invite Great Teacher Sun. I have an important matter to discuss with him and I really can't wait any longer."
The butler explained.
"Slap yourself!"
Li Ziqi frowned slightly.
"Ah?"
The butler was stunned, but he didn't make a move.
"I said slap yourself. Didn't you hear me?"
Li Ziqi was very angry. As expected of a crafty slave.
Given Teacher's good temper, he wouldn't even discriminate against beggars by the roadside, let alone butlers. Why would he ask you to serve him?
Obviously, you did something that made the teacher unhappy.
Teacher has been wronged, and as his student, I naturally have to help him get it back.
"Your Highness, I am also working for the Eldest Princess."
The butler argued, his eyes filled with disdain. What was there to be proud of for a useless princess who couldn't even accept a secondary saint? He must have offended His Majesty, so he came to Jinling to seek refuge.
From the butler's point of view, Li Ziqi was finished. Maybe, before she reached adulthood, she would be married off.
"Good, you have the ability!"
Li Ziqi didn't waste time talking. She entered the room and changed her clothes. "I'll go talk to my aunt in detail."
When the little sunny egg came out again, she saw Sun Mo already standing at the door.
"Teacher, this disciple deserves to die. I've disturbed your rest."
Li Ziqi's eyes turned a little red because she felt embarrassed. A servant actually dared to talk back to her.
To put it bluntly, this person felt that he was the trusted aide of the Eldest Princess and was working for her. He was more valuable than a useless princess like her.
"If I'm overflowing with talent, who would dare to look down on me?"
Li Ziqi bit her lips lightly.
"Pharaoh, what are you doing? Come out and work! "
Sun Mo was extremely unhappy.
"Break both his legs first."
"Are you crazy? I'm the butler of the Prince Consort Manor, the trusted aide of the Eldest Princess! "
When the butler saw a large bug suddenly appearing in the living room, he was so frightened that he peed his pants.
...
When Sun Mo rushed to the Prince Consort Manor, he discovered that An Xinhui was there as well.
"Why are you here?"
An Xinhui was surprised. She had already told the butler to not disturb Sun Mo's rest. If there was anything, she could make the decision herself.
Not long later, Li Xiu and Zheng Qingfang arrived.
"Little friend Sun, please forgive me for disturbing the two of you so early in the morning!"
Zheng Qingfang apologized.
"Uncle Zheng, no matter what we talk about today, I won't agree to it. You guys can do as you see fit!"
Sun Mo's expression was unkind. "Also, I'm here to seek justice for my student."
"What do you mean by that?"
Zheng Qingfang was stunned. Ever since he got to know Sun Mo, he had never seen Sun Mo lose his temper before. This was definitely a cultured and refined man.
"I just found out that the servant of the Eldest Princess is so impressive, even daring to talk back to the princess. For every sentence Ziqi says, he can reply with three sentences."
Sun Mo coldly snorted.
Zheng Qingfang frowned. "Where's that servant?"
Very soon, the butler was carried over.
"Master, you have to seek justice for me!"
The butler cried. As a servant, he was the best at discerning people's words and expressions. He naturally knew that Li Xiu was rather unhappy with Sun Mo. This was also the reason why he would neglect Sun Mo.
Moreover, one had to look at the master before beating a dog. (Sun Mo, you're dead for sure today.)
The butler felt that his broken legs were the perfect excuse for Her Highness to teach Sun Mo a lesson. This time around, Sun Mo would definitely be in the emperor's heart.
"Drag him away and kill him."
Li Xiu waved her hands.
"Haha, someone is going to die. Sun Mo, do you know fear now?"
The butler looked at Sun Mo complacently. However, he soon discovered that the guards who came in were grabbing his arm.
(Eh? Why are you guys dragging me away?
Go and beat Sun Mo up!)
"Great Teacher Sun, are you satisfied now?"
Li Xiu asked.
After hearing this, the butler's eyes opened wide. He suddenly understood that the Eldest Princess was unhappy with Sun Mo because she couldn't deal with him. Otherwise, why wouldn't she be able to vent her anger after breaking his five legs?
(It's over, I've misunderstood!)
The butler was afraid. Even the Eldest Princess cared about someone. Was he someone he could offend?
"Your Highness, I..."
Before the butler could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by the guards and he was dragged out. Very soon, the sounds of rods and screams rang out outside the courtyard.
"Aunt!"
Li Ziqi couldn't bear to see this.
"How soft-hearted. Do you know why the butler dared to neglect you?"
Li Xiu reprimanded.
"Bring out your royal prestige. It's fine if you kill a slave like him. Why are you waiting for me to stand up for you?"
Sun Mo frowned so tightly that he could squeeze a crab to death. He felt that this was indirectly scolding him.
Zheng Qingfang gave Sun Mo a reassuring look. (This has nothing to do with you.)
That butler's ego swelled after receiving a few rewards from Li Xiu. He thought that he was very important, but he didn't know that he was actually a dog.
Li Xiu killed him to warn the others, to let the other slaves see.
No matter how trash Li Ziqi was, she was still a princess. She wasn't someone a slave could neglect. Naturally, this head was also meant to apologize to Sun Mo.
The news of the battle in the East King Village spread out very quickly.
Although there were no witnesses, Li Xiu and Zheng Qingfang guessed that it was definitely done by Sun Mo and An Xinhui.
One must know how powerful Huo Lanying and that star general were. Li Xiu had experienced it firsthand, but they were still killed by this pair...
Honestly speaking, it was better to rope in such talents as much as possible.
"Xinhui, a great battle happened in the East King Village yesterday. I wonder..."
Li Xiu looked at An Xinhui and spoke in a very intimate manner.
"I'm feeling a little unwell, and it's not suitable for me to receive guests. Farewell!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he stood up and left.
An Xinhui also stood up and followed behind Sun Mo. She didn't even say the word 'farewell'.
Li Ziqi hesitated a little but also chased after them.
"Mn?"
Li Xiu was surprised. She understood An Xinhui's character. She was such an outstanding woman, yet she was so obedient to a man?
She was truly blind!
Spineless!
Li Xiu spoke in disdain.
"Sun Mo, Sun Mo, don't go!"
Zheng Qingfang could only act as a mediator. He quickly ran a few steps to pull Sun Mo back.
"I don't wish to work with her."
Sun Mo spoke bluntly.
Li Xiu was a person who acted arbitrarily and was extremely unyielding. She basically didn't give others a chance to express their opinions. Moreover, the most terrifying thing was that she seemed to be a 'fist master'.
When she looked at men, the disdain and contempt in her eyes was so dense that it could flow out.
"This time around, it's for the sake of eliminating Li Zixing. Could it be that your Central Province Academy doesn't want a share of the loot?"
Zheng Qingfang sighed. He was the one who suggested this opportunity. If not, Sun Mo would only have to put in the effort and wouldn't have a share.
"Li Zixing is the financial backer of the Myriad Daos Academy. You should know this, right? If Li Zixing dies, who do you think the Myriad Daos Academy would land in? "
Sun Mo actually didn't care about this. However, when he saw An Xinhui's eyes brightening, he recalled how much face An Xinhui had given him earlier. Hence, he felt embarrassed to leave.
"Come, let's sit down and talk!"
Zheng Qingfang was a crafty old fox. When he saw Sun Mo hesitating, he hurriedly pulled Sun Mo to sit down. After that, he roared at the maid, "Why are you in a daze? Make some good tea! "
"Li Zixing definitely won't sit still and wait for death. When he gathers his troops and wants to retaliate, we will take the initiative and eliminate him!"
Zheng Qingfang described his plan. "In Jinling City, there should be Li Zixing's armed forces lying in ambush. I wish to invite Headmaster An to lead a group to surround and annihilate them. Otherwise, if they were to be in chaos, the innocent would be harmed."
"Can't we just find a reason to take a few days off?"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. How big of a problem was this?
"No!"
This time around, An Xinhui was the first to shake her head.
For a famous school, even if there was a holiday, there would still be a portion of students and teachers staying behind. After all, in this era, transportation was inconvenient. Some students had attended school for several years, but they didn't even return home once.
There was another reason. It was inauspicious for a famous school to go on holiday for no reason. It would be viewed as the start of their decline.
"In that case, we'll just focus on eliminating the remnants of the Myriad Daos Academy."
Sun Mo tried to bargain.
He wouldn't fight against Li Zixing for Li Xiu's sake.
Li Zixing was a prince who had accumulated several generations of descendants in Jinling. Just thinking about it, one could tell how deep his foundation was. Once he rebelled, the entire Tang Country would be thrown into chaos.
This was also the reason why Li Xiu wanted An Xinhui to act. Her own strength wasn't enough. Even if she mobilized troops, it would take time. Moreover, she might alert the enemy. Hence, the great teachers and students of the Central Province Academy became a powerful force.
"Xinhui, as long as you guys put in effort, you will be rewarded according to your contributions. The entire Myriad Daos Academy can become a branch campus of the Central Province Academy."
Li Xiu promised.
An Xinhui's heart stirred. In that case, the Central Province Academy would truly be the number one famous school in Jinling.
