Lu Bing's current official position was the Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He was only a fifth rank official. Many officials in the Imperial Examination were above Lu Bing.
However, because of Lu Bing's identity as a Brocade Guard, even many high-ranking officials had to be respectful when they saw him.
It was because the Embroidered Uniform Guards had too much power. For example, to a certain extent, killing was not illegal.
As long as Lu Bing was willing, he could fabricate a crime and kill these guards on the spot. At that time, these guards would not even have a place to reason with.
Therefore, when Lu Bing revealed his identity, these guards were so scared that they lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes. They did not dare to show off to Lu Bing.
"Hmph, leave this woman here and get lost!”
"Yes, yes!"
When the guards heard Lu Bing's words, they hurriedly scrambled to escape. They thought to themselves, Lu Bing told them to get lost, so be it. It was better to lose face than to lose their lives.
"Hmph, a bunch of dogs abusing their power!”
After the girl saw the guards leave, she stuck out her tongue at the place where the guards had escaped and sized up Lu Bing.
"Oh, this little brother, thank you!”
"No need to thank me. I didn't save you!”"Come with me!" Lu Bing said coldly.”
After Lu Bing dispersed the crowd, he brought the girl to Zhu Houjin's side.
"If it wasn't for my young master's orders, I wouldn't have cared about you!”
"Oh!"
When the girl heard Lu Bing's words, she sized up Zhu Houjin.
She saw that even though Zhu Houjin was young, he had a strong presence. Furthermore, he was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an imposing appearance. One look and one could tell that he was the young master of a great clan in the capital. His eyes were especially bright, causing the girl to be stunned.
Zhu Houjin was also sizing up the girl. Just now, when they were far away, Zhu Houyan already felt that this girl was extraordinarily beautiful. Now that he was closer, he saw that this girl had a slim figure and a seductive look. She was definitely a rare beautiful girl.
"Were you the one who wanted to save me just now?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, but she still spoke first.
"Yes, that's right!"
Zhu Houjin replied very calmly, as if he did not take this matter to heart at all.
"Why did you save me?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. It's just a piece of cake!”
"You…"
After Zhu Houxin finished speaking, he sized up the girl again. He felt that whether it was her appearance or temperament, she met his requirements very well.
"Hehe, young lady, what's your name?”
"As for me…my name is Fang Qi!"
"Alright, so it's Miss Fang. Miss Fang, I want to ask you, why did you dress up as a man to participate in the imperial examination this time?”
"This…"
Fang Qi heard Zhu Houjin's words and couldn't help but hesitate.
Although this youth Zhu Houjiu had saved him, and Zhu Houjiu didn't seem like a bad person. However, Fang Qi still did not dare to believe him easily.
"My young master saved your life. Are you still holding back from him?" Lu Bing asked. You don't know what's good for you!"
"Um…"
"Alright then!"
Fang Qi stroked her long hair and said,""It's like this. My father was Fang Daxia, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites during the Zhengde era. Because he was killed by Yang Ting and that dog thief, he wandered around Yungui and died in a foreign land. I can't let my father die in peace, so I want to be the top scorer and report to the emperor on the spot, exposing that Yang Ting and that dog thief's misdeeds!”
"Hmm? I really didn't expect you to be from a prestigious family!”
Zhu Houjiu and Lu Bing were surprised to hear Fang Qi's identity. However, it made sense. Although Fang Qi was down and out, she could not hide the elegant temperament she exuded. It was obvious that she was not a common girl.
" However, I heard that the current emperor is a little brat who doesn't know anything. If it's such a little emperor, even if I go to his side and complain, I reckon this kid won't understand. Sigh…"
As Fang Qi spoke, she reached out her small hands and clenched them fiercely, revealing two small white canine teeth at the corner of her mouth as if she was going to bite someone. Those who didn't know better would think that she had some deep hatred for Zhu Houjin.
"Um…"
When Lu Bing and Zhu Houxin heard Fang Qi's words, they both smiled. They wondered what kind of surprised expression Fang Qi would have if she knew that the young man who saved her was the little brat who didn't know anything.
"It's like this!"
After Zhu Houjin asked about Fang Qi's situation, he was very satisfied with her.
"Miss Fang, I need your help now. I'm forced to get married by my family. I need a girl with both talent and beauty to help me deal with my family, and now I think you're just right!”
"What is it? Did I hear wrongly?"
"Of course not. After this is done, I won't mistreat you. I will avenge you generously. Even if you want to complain to the emperor, I will help you!”
"Ah?"
Fang Qi once again sized up Zhu Houzhen. She found that although this youth was young, he had an intimidating aura that made people unconsciously want to believe him, rely on him, and listen to his orders.
Fang Qi still didn't understand that this kind of aura was the legendary imperial aura. Right now, Fang Qi only felt that this young man in front of her was lying to her.
Although this youth had an extraordinary bearing and was truly admirable. However, he was still young, after all. What ability could he have to help him defeat the most powerful official in the world, Yang Tinghe?
This was definitely a lie!
"Hmph, stop fooling around!"
Fang Qi rolled her eyes at Zhu Houjin and said,""Don't think that I'm stupid! I've seen many young masters like you. You must be using the excuse of marriage to trick this young lady into your house and take over this young lady's body, right?”
"This lady is not stupid, I won't fall for your trick!”
Fang Qi snorted lightly, looking rather pleased with herself.
"I was originally grateful to you, but I listened to you. I guess you saved me just now because you had bad intentions, so there's no need!”
"What? This, Miss Fang, you…"
Fang Qi snorted and stuck out her tongue at Zhu Houzhen.""Forget it! This young lady has seen many young masters like you. If you want to lie to me, you'd better wait until your next life! This young lady won't be serving anymore!"
After Fang Qi finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Zhu Houjin and turned around to leave.
"You…"
Lu Bing was so angry that he almost killed Fang Qi when he saw how disrespectful she was to Zhu Houjin. However, after Zhu Houjiu was stunned for a moment, he still sat calmly on the stool and smiled.
"Emperor, do you really like this girl? You want to call her into the palace to be the Empress?”
"Hehe, she might not be the empress, but she can still be used as an excuse to stop Yang Ting and the empress!”
"This…Is this girl okay? I don't think there's anything special about her!"
"Yes!"
"This girl is very beautiful, and she has a stubborn personality. She dares to cause trouble." Zhu Houjin smiled faintly. In my harem, I lack such a girl. Use the methods of a concubine to deal a fatal blow to Yang Tinghe!”
