"Li … Yi?"
Lin Wanru looked at him in a daze and asked, "The number one scholar of the Jing Kingdom, Li Yi?"
The Lin family's banquet, the God of Wealth's visit, King Feng's visit, and the scholar she had picked up two months ago was the scholar she admired greatly. At this moment, Lin Wanru felt like she was in a dream.
"What number one scholar? It's all nonsense. You can't take it seriously." Li Yi's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. He said, "But it should be the Li Yi you're thinking of."
Lin Wanru's expression was a little confused. After a long time, she looked away and murmured, "No wonder …"
No wonder he copied the handwriting of the Jing Kingdom's number one scholar, Li Yi. It was more similar than Zhao Xiuwen's.
No wonder he never studied or asked about poetry. It was because no one in Feng Province or even the Qi Kingdom could compare to him in these matters.
No wonder a scholar knew the way of business. Now that she thought about it, those foreign merchants were willing to give so much profit to the Lin family because …
It was because he was Li Yi. Li Yi of the Jing Kingdom …
Li Yi, who had defeated the Qi Kingdom's Wen Zong, defeated the Qi Kingdom's Poet Saint, and defeated the Qi Kingdom's diplomatic mission. His reputation had spread throughout the Qi Kingdom a long time ago.
Lin Wanru looked down at his outstretched hand and raised her head again.
Li Yi's expression was a little awkward. He said, "This is a form of etiquette in my hometown. It's called the handshake ceremony. When two people who don't know each other meet, they will shake each other's hands as a sign of politeness."
Lin Wanru was stunned. She reached out to hold his hand and shook her head. She said, "The Jing Kingdom's etiquette is really strange."
Since they were already being honest, they might as well be honest with each other.
Li Yi reached out and took off the mask on his face.
Lin Wanru's expression froze again when she saw this.
She looked at the unfamiliar face and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this your original appearance?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Because of some reasons, I have no choice but to do so."
Lin Wanru sat on the chair and said in a low voice, "I, I want to be alone for a while."
When Li Yi walked out of the hall, he bumped into Lin Yong.
When he walked over, he asked, "Brother, are my Miss and the Li Brothers inside?"
Li Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't go in yet. Let Miss Lin have some time alone."
Lin Yong's footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked up and down. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He said, "Can, can you say something more for me?"
Li Yi looked at him and said, "If you come to the Jing Kingdom again, you can come to the capital to find me."
"Hiss … You are, the Li Brothers?"
Lin Yong gasped. The expression on his face was no different from seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
"Gone?" The sloppy old man wiped his mouth and walked over to ask.
Li Yi looked back and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go."
The Lin family's banquet today had not ended. It should be said that the process of previous banquets had only just begun.
However, after so many twists and turns in such a short period of time, many people did not have much interest in the banquet that was only held twice a year.
The atmosphere was abnormally quiet. Everyone watched as the "Lin family accountant" walked out. The scene that had just happened appeared in their minds. They looked at the members of the Lin family with extremely complicated gazes …
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in a low voice, "His, his appearance …"
On the other side, the young man named Bai Yu's face was pale. The two shopkeepers beside him, Ma and Xu, looked even worse. Shopkeeper Ma, who had been arrogant just a moment ago, was now crying. He looked at the Third Master of the Lin family and said with a trembling voice, "Third, Third Master, I beg you, let, let us see Wanru again …"
…
…
In the courtyard, Li Yi glanced at Miss.Liu and asked, "Are you done packing?"
Miss.Liu nodded.
There was originally nothing to pack. When they came, it was empty. When they returned, there was nothing but a few clothes and a chest filled with gold. There was nothing else to bring.
Li Yi looked at the sky and said, "Then let's go."
"Let's go. If we're fast, we'll reach Shu Zhou by this time tomorrow." The sloppy old man let out a long sigh.
Outside the door, Taoist priest Yuan stood there. There were more than ten people standing behind him. Even further away, there were many figures in the crowd looking in the same direction.
Lin Yong stood at the entrance of Fanglin Garden. His mouth was open and had not closed since the beginning.
Li Yi walked over and patted his shoulder. He said, "Where's Miss Lin?"
"At home." Lin Yong looked into Fanglin Garden and turned around. He said, "Do you want me to call her?"
"No need." Li Yi retracted his hand from his shoulder and waved it casually. "Goodbye, Big Brother Lin."
Lin Yong nodded and looked at him in a daze. He said somewhat mechanically, "Goodbye."
When there was no one in front of him, Lin Yong came back to his senses. He looked at the courtyard next to him and quickly walked over.
The furnishings in the courtyard were still the same as before. There was a clay pot at the door of the kitchen that was used to boil medicine. However, there was no longer the fragrance that made him salivate just by smelling it.
Thinking of something, he walked into the room and leaned over to look under the bed.
After a while, he pulled out a box from under the bed.
The box was very big and it was not locked. Lin Yong opened it casually. The next moment, he was dazzled by all kinds of colors …
Fengzhou Courier Station.
"You said that Zhao Yi personally went to the Lin family to see the person you met the other day?" Zhao Zheng looked at the young man who was still a little pale and asked, "Who is that person?"
"I've already asked someone to investigate." The young man took out a piece of paper and handed it over. He said, "When I came back just now, I saw that they seemed to have left the city …"
"The accountant of the Lin family?" Zhao Zheng frowned. After looking at it several times, he still had no clue. "He's from the Jing Kingdom. Why was he so polite? Li Xuan, Li Xuan …"
At a certain moment, Zhao Zheng seemed to think of something. His expression changed and he immediately said, "Chase!"
In Fanglin Garden, Lin Yong picked up an exquisite Buddha statue and exclaimed, "Miss, this is colored glass …"
He looked down at the box at his feet and said, "These are all colored glass. How much is it worth?"
Lin Wanru's gaze only stayed on the colored glass for a moment before she looked away. Lin Yong's voice came again. "Miss, when the Li Brothers left just now, you were clearly in the shop. Why didn't you come out?"
Lin Wanru put down the note in her hand that said, "Sell it as soon as possible." She said, "Put these things away and go back to work. Brother Lin, make some preparations these days. I plan to let you go to the newly opened shop …"
"Ah?" Lin Yong was stunned. When he wanted to ask again, he suddenly turned his head and looked outside.
On the street outside Fanglin Garden, a group of soldiers ran quickly, causing a commotion on the street.
Lin Yong sighed and said, "Feng State City is in chaos again …"
In King Feng's Mansion, Zhao Yi, who was arranging many things after leaving, turned his head and asked, "How many people did they bring?"
The person in front of him said, "One hundred personal guards."
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Did my brother also go?"
"The First Prince is still at the courier station, but the young master of the Yang family went with him."
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Then let him be …"
Compared to what he had to face and deal with next, these things were no longer enough to divert his attention.
The conflict between the factions in the imperial court, the panic in the local counties, and the confrontation with the First Prince in the capital …
Zhao Yi rubbed the space between his eyebrows and murmured, "You left so quickly …"
