"Ren, are these barbarians sick?" Li Fu was furious and irritated when he saw Ren Baqian.
He had been tormented miserably for the past two days.
No matter what, they were still a group of Cardinal Heaven experts. It seemed like he could easily defeat them with two or three moves, but it took a lot of effort.
Furthermore, Li Fu didn't like fighting at all. All he could think about was finding the stairway to heaven, and fighting was just a last resort.
However, he didn't expect that after his first fight, this group of people would come endlessly. There would be people challenging him every day, morning, afternoon, night …
Whether it was day or night, these bastards would come whenever they wanted to.
If he didn't agree, they would quarrel endlessly outside.
The loud voices of the aboriginals had made him nervous for several days.
If it weren't for the hot air balloon and rocket that Ren Baqian had promised him, he would have knocked them over and run away.
Ren Baqian was a little speechless. Although he knew that Li Fu was a good person, he didn't expect him to be this good! He really didn't know how he became the number one expert in the world.
Now, it was as if he was being bullied by those old fools.
In fact, although he had always been the one kicking people's testicles, it seemed like he was the one being kicked now.
"You are the number one expert in the world, and you are still alive. What a great opportunity it is to see the number one expert in the world in the flesh. Besides, who doesn't worship their idol? Even though they all have high statuses, seeing the number one expert in the world is like seeing a young idol. Isn't this exciting? In addition, I want you to give them some pointers! "Ren Baqian's words were half-true and half-false.
Before coming here, he was really afraid that Li Fu would be anxious, so he came to take a look. However, based on the current situation, it wouldn't be a problem even if they struggled for a while.
To be able to see Li Fu in action, even if it was just a few moves, was already very beneficial.
Most importantly, there were many people. Almost all the people from Secondary class, Rank 3 and above had been here once and were planning to come a second time. It was said that even the Minister of Revenue, Tu Wan, was tempted.
Now, Li Fu's place was like a famous tourist attraction. Every day, one could see all kinds of big shots in the court. Even the Jing Tribe people who had just moved here were a little speechless.
"Black Bamboo Academy will start classes the day after tomorrow. Senior, if you have nothing to do, you can go and listen to the classes. You can also find some peace and quiet," Ren Baqian said after thinking for a while.
"Not interested! Just finish what you promised me as soon as possible. "Li Fu waved his hand, not minding at all. He was just a little annoyed by those fellows who disturbed his peace.
Seeing this, Ren Baqian didn't say much. He laughed and bade farewell. In the end, as soon as he left the courtyard, he was stopped by someone.
"Sir Ren, what are your arrangements for me? You can't possibly let me stay here without any status, right? "Ning Caichen had a look of hidden bitterness on his face. Those who didn't know would think that Ren Baqian had done something to him.
Ren Baqian looked at the gossipy expressions on the faces of the newly assigned guards. He didn't need to ask to know what they were thinking.
Then, he looked at Ning Caichen with a pair of bright and piercing eyes. If you have the guts, say it in front of the empress. If she doesn't plaster you to the wall, consider it my loss.
Ren Baqian dismissed Ning Caichen with a few words. Recently, there really weren't any positions suitable for him. After all, with his status, there were many things that he couldn't do.
Furthermore, there were already people who could do what he could.
However, he really couldn't just leave a sword master here and ignore him. After a few more days, Ning Caichen definitely wouldn't be able to stay here anymore.
Ren Baqian pondered about where to place Ning Caichen as he walked back. In the end, he was stopped halfway.
"Sir Ren, please come with me and say a few words!" A middle-aged man and two young men came down from a carriage by the side of the road and called out to Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian sized them up and was slightly puzzled. "Are you from the Yun Nation?"
The people of the Yun Nation looked similar to the people of Great Xia. However, they had always been known for their luxury and exquisite clothing. As a result, when Ren Baqian saw these three men in exquisite embroidered clothes, he immediately guessed their identities.
"Sir, my surname is Zhang, and I have met you once before. Today, I'm looking for you because I have an important matter to discuss with you. Sir, please come with me and let me say a few words. I have already prepared some food and wine in the restaurant next door! "
Ren Baqian looked at this man carefully and then at the two young men behind him. He didn't have any impression of them. However, he really wanted to hear what they had to say.
Ren Baqian nodded to the people beside him. Zuo Leng and the others immediately went around the inn and confirmed that there were no problems before going downstairs to report to Ren Baqian.
It wasn't that he was being too careful. Anyone who had experienced a few assassinations in a year would be this careful.
The two young men behind him lowered their heads and had a strange look on their faces. It wasn't clear whether it was contempt or something else, but they were careful not to let others notice.
Ren Baqian walked upstairs under the escort of the guards and found a seat by the window to sit down. Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the three of them carefully sat opposite Ren Baqian.
"Sir Ren, the last time I saw you was a year ago. I think you already don't remember me."
Ren Baqian thought about it. A year ago at this time, he should have just arrived in Dayao and was assigned by the empress to be the Honglu Deputy, in charge of receiving guests from various countries.
"Did the few of you attend Her Majesty's birthday celebration last year?" Ren Baqian suddenly realized. At that time, he really couldn't remember many of them. Ning Caichen, the Seventh Prince of Great Xia, and that kidney-deficient young master who vomited blood every time he made a move. These were the only people he could remember.
He couldn't even remember the name and appearance of that young master from the Lian family whom he killed at that time, let alone the others.
"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded and smiled. Following which, he said, "My surname is Zhang, Zhang Junzheng. These are my two nephews, Zhang Heqi and Zhang Heju. Greetings, Sir Ren. Just as Sir Ren thought, we are from the Yun Nation. "
As the middle-aged man spoke, he carefully sized up Ren Baqian and sighed deeply in his heart. At this time last year, this person in front of him was still a Honglu Deputy in name. Not long after, he became the husband of Qi Zixiao.
At that time, he didn't take Qi Zixiao seriously.
After all, at that time, he didn't display any outstanding qualities. In everyone's hearts, he was just lucky to be chosen by Qi Zixiao. However, this luck could fall to the bottom at any time because of a slight change in Qi Zixiao's mind.
In the eyes of many people, perhaps that was normal. After all, what kind of person was Qi Zixiao? He was an ordinary person with no talent and good luck. Even if Qi Zixiao liked him because of his flattery, how long could he last?
Therefore, even though he and the others had been trying to build a relationship with Dayao for the past year, they didn't consider this person in front of them. This was the reason why.
However, after a year, unexpectedly, this person's position had become more and more stable.
This could be seen just from the attitude of the people in the imperial court toward him.
Furthermore, there were rumors among the people that he played a great role in the war against Great Xia in the north. Furthermore, he produced salt in the mountains and recently went to Tianjing Basin with the empress. Although he didn't know what he did, nearly 2,000 people from Tianjing Basin came to Lan City. He also had a few experts from the remnant citizens of the Hao Nation by his side as guards.
Now, he had no choice but to put down his pride and re-evaluate this person and beg him for help.
Even Ren Baqian, who had always boasted of his superior foresight, had to admit that he had really misjudged this time.
Ren Baqian's brain spun and finally felt that these three people in front of him were somewhat familiar. He then waited for them to speak and see what they wanted to say.
They couldn't possibly be trying to persuade the empress to give the Yun Nation a way out through him, right? In history, there was no lack of cases of losing a direct confrontation and then bribing the opposing party's high-ranking officials to cause trouble in their own backyard.
However, if they had this intention, they could be directly dragged down and beheaded.
