Within the Palace of King Han
On the throne, a fat man with a pale face who was obviously overindulged in sex sat there. He said with a hint of worry," The five judges died mysteriously one after another. Could it really be the work of ghost soldiers?" But what about my 100,000 taels?”
Yesterday morning, the King of Han had sent his two brothers, Lord Anping and Lord Longquan, to deliver the army's pay to the border. He had not expected that they would be robbed at night. After that, in order to track down the whereabouts of the military pay, he sent people to interrogate them overnight. He did not expect the five judges to die one after another, which made the King of Han extremely worried. One had to know that the amount of military pay that was lost was not a small amount. It was a total of 100,000 taels.
Hearing the weak voice, Ji Wuye, who was standing below, sneered in his heart. However, he said," I have a perfect candidate who will definitely solve this strange case. He is the Prime Minister."”
When Zhang Xiangguo heard this, he cursed inwardly. As expected, the unassertive Han Wangan looked at him.”
Zhang Kedi did not dare to refuse. He was not afraid of King Han, but of Ji Wuye. Although the King of Han was only in name, if he was angry and ordered to punish him, Ji Wuye would definitely 'obey the king's command'.
Helpless, he could only glare at Ji Wuye before bowing stiffly.”
"Alright, I'll give you ten days. If you can't solve the case by then, you should know.”
At this moment, the three of them suddenly heard a noise outside the hall. Han Wangan frowned and asked,"Who is making a ruckus outside?"”
Unfortunately, his voice was too soft. The guards in the distance did not hear him. Instead, Ji Wuye shouted," Who's outside? Bring them in!"”
When the door opened, Han Fei knew that his chance had come. He whispered to Red Lotus," Sister, don't get involved in what happens next. Go back first."”
"No, I want to come too." Red Lotus said coquettishly.
"Be obedient, or I'll be angry!”
"Brother, don't be angry. I…I'll just leave.”Hong Lian pouted, her face full of reluctance.
"Don't be unhappy. When big brother returns, I'll bring my Hong Lian out to play.”Han Fei comforted her.
"Deal!" The dissatisfaction in Hong Lian's heart dissipated when she heard that.
After Red Lotus left, Han Fei entered the hall first, followed by Li Yue.
"Your son greets father."
"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty."
Han Wangan was very angry. He was discussing the issue of military pay with his two beloved ministers and was already in a bad mood. Now that he heard someone making a ruckus, if he did not punish them, where would his dignity as the ruler of the country go?
However, when he found out that it was Han Fei, he suppressed his anger. After all, he was his son, even if he was the least favorite of his sons. However, after a closer look, his anger was ignited again.
"Ninth Brother, in the past, you liked to play around and didn't want to improve. I only thought that you were still young, but now you're already an adult and have been studying outside for a few years. Look at your current appearance. Where is the air of a prince? If outsiders saw you, how would they view you? What do you think of Han Country? You've completely disgraced me…"
Zhang Kaidi was similar to Han Wangan. Although Han Fei was talented, he had always hated his cynical character, and now his impression of him was even worse.
Compared with the previous two, Ji Wuye didn't have any other thoughts. He just watched Han Fei being reprimanded playfully.
Li Yue took this opportunity to tell Ji Wuye what had happened just now. The latter glared at him, worried that Han Fei would talk nonsense, so he took a step forward." Your Majesty, the Ninth Young Master didn't mean it. He must have had an accident on his way back.”
With that, Ji Wuye turned to Han Fei.”
Ji Wuye's meaning was obvious. He had already spoken up for him, so there was no need to mention such trivial matters.
"There is indeed a small situation." Han Fei nodded.
Han Wangan had scolded enough. He waved his hand and said," Since that's the case, go back and wash up first. If there's a next time, you'll be severely punished!"”
Han Fei felt inexplicably sad, but he didn't leave. He bowed and said," Father, there's no hurry. I have something to tell you about the commander of the Royal Guards.”
Hearing this, Ji Wuye's eyes turned sharp. He didn't expect Han Fei to be so ungrateful.
"Speak."
Then, Han Fei told him everything that had happened just now.
When Han Wangan heard this, his face was filled with displeasure.
What was a ruler most afraid of? He was most afraid of his subordinates having disloyalty. No matter how stupid Han Wangan was, he would not be able to tolerate such a thing. As the commander of the Imperial Army, he was guarding the forbidden grounds of the palace. Even he did not kneel down to him, but a general. His intentions made him worried.
"Li Yue, is there such a thing?" Han Wangan asked in a deep voice.
"Ninth Young Master is right." Li Yue said respectfully," But there's a reason.”
"Oh? Tell me."
"Before the king appointed me as the commander of the Imperial Guards, I once followed the Great General on the battlefield. At that time, the etiquette in the army was strict, so I developed the habit of kneeling before the General.”Li Yue explained.
"I see." Han Wangan nodded. However, he was still a little worried. After some thought, he said," Although it was unintentional, you have done it too. From today onwards, your position will be swapped with the vice commander. You can only be restored if you perform well.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ji Wuye had expected this result. He looked at Han Fei with sarcasm in his eyes. How stupid are you to plot against me with this? Even if Li Yue was dismissed because of this, he wouldn't suffer any loss, let alone just a change in position. After all, the entire Imperial Guards are his men. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something interesting.
Han Fei noticed Ji Wuye's gaze but didn't care. He did this not for a scheme but for other reasons.
Firstly, he wanted to tell everyone that he was back. In addition, he planned to see if his father was smarter than before. As for what others thought of him after this, he hoped that everyone would think he was stupid.
Secondly, and most importantly, Han Fei wanted to know whether his father's attitude towards him was still the same after a few years, but he was very, very disappointed.
A father saw his son whom he had not seen for many years. Moreover, this son seemed to have been robbed by bandits. He was not concerned about how much his son had suffered outside, but that he was ashamed of him. As expected, the imperial family was the most heartless.
Han Fei sighed deeply in his heart. He would be heartbroken and disappointed if he just ignored his family. After all, he was prepared for it.
However, he did not expect his father to be so stupid. That's right, he was stupid. It was more annoying than being incompetent.
His stupidity and incompetence would at most prove that his father was incompetent, but stupidity was different. This would definitely make it n times more difficult for him to eliminate Ji Wuye and the others. If Ji Wuye was a boss that had to be killed in the game, the initial difficulty would be A. Now that he had a " pig teammate " like Han Wangan, the difficulty would definitely rise to S.
So, he could only abandon his useless teammate? But, he was still his father after all…
Just as Han Fei was about to retreat and trick Ji Wuye, he suddenly spoke.
"Ninth Young Master, why did your spirit disappear?”
"What?" When Han Wangan heard Ji Wuye's words, he was shocked." Ninth Brother, is General Ji telling the truth?”
Han Fei knew that he couldn't hide Spirit's departure sooner or later, but he didn't expect Ji Wuye to bring it up here. He had no choice but to reply," Father, I met a bad guy outside and was seriously injured when I tried to fight him. When I woke up, Spirit disappeared.”
"Sigh, the heavens are really jealous of talents!" Ji Wuye looked regretful, but he was gloating in his heart. At the same time, his opinion of Han Fei dropped again. An ordinary person would only know how to play tricks. No matter how talented he was, he would not be a threat to him.
"You…have disappointed me. I originally thought that you would be able to serve the country after returning from your studies. Now, it's better. Biwen (referring to strategy), the grandson of the prime minister, Zhang Liang. Although he's not yet an adult, he can already share the worries of the prime minister. At his age, you only know how to eat, drink, and play. In a martial arts competition, you, who has lost your spirit, are not even comparable to an ordinary soldier!”Han Wangan said resentfully.
"Forget it, you're just a piece of trash. Get lost so that I won't be annoyed!”
Han Wangan was really disappointed in Old Nine, but he didn't know how hurtful his words were. He also didn't know that what he said and did today had made Han Fei firm on a certain idea and changed his fate.
