"Greetings, Milords."
In front of the Hall of Political Establishment, the eunuch who had gone to the Hall of Dew to report had returned.
"Eunuch, what did His Majesty say?" Guest Master Yuan and the other two politely returned the greeting and asked.
"Milords, His Majesty is accompanying the Empress and the two princesses for a meal. After the meal, he will call for you.”
After saying that, he bowed and left without waiting for Guest Master Yuan and Li Chunfeng to speak.
“…….”
"Junior Brother, is His Majesty using this method to express his dissatisfaction again?”Li Chunfeng was silent for a moment before he asked via secret sound transmission.
"I'm not sure, I'm not sure. However, when His Majesty comes, we have to apologize first.”Guest Master Yuan shook his head and replied with his mouth slightly open.
Although he was speaking, no one knew his voice apart from the two of them.
After nodding, Li Chunfeng didn't say anything else. The two of them stood together outside the Administrative Hall and waited.
…….
On the other side, in the Qi Public House.
Zhangsun Wuji's family was eating when the manager of the Public House walked in quickly and whispered a few words into Zhangsun Wuji's ear.
After listening, Zhangsun Wuji paused and said,""Please serve tea in the living room. I'll be right there.”
"Here."
After the manager left, Zhangsun Wuji said goodbye to his wife and gave Zhangsun Chong a look. The father and son got up and left the dining room.
Watching the two of them leave, Zhangsun Wuji's first wife looked relieved, while the other two wives looked a little worried. The few young masters of the High Duke's Public House who were born from concubines also had ugly expressions.
As the eldest son of the Duke's Public House, Zhangsun Chong had already entered the court as an official. He was a Taichang Deputy under the fifth rank and was wearing a crimson official robe.
Zhangsun Wuji only discussed the major matters in the residence with Zhangsun Chong.
Furthermore, Zhangsun Chong had even entered the Royal Academy to study.
On the other hand, they did not even have the qualifications to enter the Royal Academy to study. They could only receive guidance in the clan school and cultivate martial arts.
His cultivation resources were even less than Zhangsun Chong's.
Not to mention becoming an official.
When they reached the age of sixteen, if they wanted to fight for it, they could only join the army or take their own official positions.
Or he could only stay in the clan and become Zhangsun Chong's assistant.
In the face of such a situation, it would be strange for them to have a good expression.
……
She hurried out of the back manor.
In the living room, Vice Headmaster Yang Shuzi was sipping tea.
"Brother Yang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm late.”
"Greetings, Duke of Qi." Yang Shuzi stood up, smiled, and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Greetings, Deputy Headmaster." Zhangsun Chong followed behind Zhangsun Wuji and bowed as well.
"Brother Yang, please don't stand on ceremony.”
"Thank you."
They sat down, and Zhangsun Chong stood beside Zhangsun Wuji.
After glancing at Zhangsun Chong, Yang Shuzi smiled and said,""Duke Qi is so lucky. Eldest Young Master is already at the later stage of the Tendon Transformation realm. I think he should be able to break through to the peak realm in less than a year or two.”
"The Duke of Qi has a successor."
"Hahaha, Brother Yang is too polite. He's just a kid, in his twenties, and he's still only in the Tendon Transformation realm.”Although Zhangsun Wuji, the Duke of Qi, was happy in his heart, he had a reserved and reproachful expression on his face.
"Lord Duke's request is too harsh. If I had such a child, he would wake up laughing.”
"Hahaha, Brother Yang is too kind, too kind.”
“……”
After chatting for a while, Zhangsun Wuji brought up the main topic.
"May I know why Brother Yang has come to my humble abode today?”
"Oh? Does Duke Qi not know?" Yang Shuzi pretended to be surprised.
"Is there really something?" Zhangsun Wuji's heart sank, but his face was unusually calm as he said,""May I know what Brother Yang means…?”
"Hey, I thought the Duke of Qi knew.”After saying that, Yang Shuzi no longer beat around the bush and said with a solemn expression,"Duke of Qi, we're in trouble."
"Thud." Zhangsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly said,""Brother Yang, why do you say that?"
When he asked, he was also wondering if anyone in his family had done anything overboard.
"Duke of Qi, your residence and the residence of the Duke of Pi's eldest grandson in White Cloud City was destroyed. Don't you know about this?”
"What? This…"
Zhangsun Wuji and his son's expressions changed. They looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes.
However, compared to Zhangsun Chong, Zhangsun Wuji's expression changed very quickly.
It was so fast that Yang Shuzi almost couldn't see it clearly.
" Brother Yang, is this true?!"
"Of course it's true." Yang Shuzi nodded and sighed,""Sigh, our Imperial Censorate also didn't expect that His Highness King Jing would actually hide so deeply.”
"We have spies in White Cloud City, but their information transmission has been blocked.”
"We only received a secret report today. He had heard that the properties of the Duke's family had been affected, so he had specially come to inform them.”
"As for where Old Zhangsun is, we're worried that he'll be angry and attack his heart. Therefore, we might have to think of a way to tell Old Zhangsun.”
Zhangsun Wuji nodded with a dark expression and said,""Of course."
"Alright, Duke Qi, this humble official's identity is sensitive, so I won't be staying for long.”
"Brother Yang, please make a trip. Wuji is extremely grateful.”Zhangsun Wuji stood up and bowed in thanks. Behind him, Zhangsun Chong also cupped his hands in thanks.
"No, no, Lord Zhangsun's words are too serious.”
"Chang Fu, help me send the Deputy Headmaster off.”
"Here."
"Brother Yang, take care."
"Lord Duke, please wait. Eldest Young Master, please wait.”
Watching Yang Shuzi's back as he left, Zhangsun Chong finally couldn't take it anymore.
" Damn it, King Jing actually dares to be so bold and humiliate my Zhangsun Clan, I….."
"Impudent!"
Before Zhangsun Chong could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhangsun Wuji's low shout,""Is Your Highness King Jing someone you, an official below the fifth rank, can berate? You don't know your place!"
"Father."
"Shut up!" Zhangsun Chong wanted to defend himself but was stopped by Zhangsun Wuji again.
Seeing his father's gaze, Zhangsun Chong finally reacted.
This was the living room in the front yard. There were too many people and it was not a place to talk about these things.
"Follow me to the study."
"Yes, Father!"
The two of them walked towards the study.
In the Imperial Palace, outside the Political Hall, they waited for more than an hour before they were summoned.
"This subject, Li Chunfeng, greets Your Majesty. We are guilty, please punish us, Your Majesty!"
The two of them entered the hall and knelt on the ground, bowing their heads and begging for forgiveness.
"What crime have you committed? Get up." Behind the golden table, Li Er's expression cleared up slightly and he spoke.
"I dare not. I have failed to complete the mission given by Your Majesty.”Li Chunfeng bowed. Guest Master Yuan knelt at the side and didn't say anything. He didn't get up either.
He was the hall walker and was responsible for delivering information.
Therefore, there was no need to say anything to apologize this time, but he had to do enough.
"Get up and talk."
"Here."
After Li Er said that, the two of them stood up and bowed.
