Chapter 1295 “Brothers in distress”
Chapter 1295 “Brothers in distress”
The next day.
Tianwu City, He Mansion.
The door of the study was knocked gently by a servant: "Mr. He, someone has brought you a letter."
"Click..."
The door opened, and He Ji, with a somewhat tired look on his face, asked in confusion: "A letter? Did the other party reveal his identity?"
"Mr. He, the other party said that you will know after reading the letter."
The servant scratched his head and replied.
"okay, I get it."
He Ji nodded, took the letter from the servant, and reached out to close the door again.
That day, he was kicked unconscious by that man in the Dali Temple, and when he woke up, he was already in the mansion of Marquis Loucheng.
In response to Xu You's questioning, he told the truth about what happened in the Dali Temple.
Upon learning that Zhuang Zhubu had been murdered, Xu You fell silent for an unusual moment, then left in a hurry and did not return until a long time later.
Xu You didn't say anything, just asked him to have a good rest.
Later, he met Xu You's father, Lou Chenghou Xu Jun, who asked him to have a good rest and expressed a few words of concern, but didn't say much else.
The next day, the other party personally sent him back to He Mansion.
He was not stupid and knew in his heart that Xu You's father had come to send him off personally, definitely for his uncle.
The facts were just as he expected.
When his uncle saw him, there was no expression on his face. He just told him to go back to his room and rest, and then went to the reception room with Xu You's father.
As for what the two talked about, he had no right to know.
When he met his uncle again, he only left him four words.
"Take care of yourself."
He was neither grounded nor lectured.
The more this happened, the more He Ji realized that his uncle was very disappointed in him.
Later, he learned of Qi Shang's fate and shuddered. If he was involved deeply enough, he would be implicated, and then even his uncle would not be able to save him.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Lu Xunming and the other two were released without any harm.
In order not to make his uncle completely disappointed in him, He Ji did not go out for the past three days. Even when Lu Xunming and others came to find him, he only met them outside the mansion and had a brief chat with them. He did not go with them to relax.
From then on, He Ji locked himself in the study room and studied hard, vowing to get a good ranking in the exam to bring honor to his uncle and restore his precarious image in his uncle's eyes.
After returning to the desk, He Ji opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it carefully.
Halfway through, his face turned visibly paler.
how come...
Prince Chu's Mansion.
After seeing off the two brothers Wang Kui and Wang Xiao, Shen Yian took a rare half-day off for himself.
There are less than five days left before the imperial examination officially begins, and my third and fifth brothers are making preparations in full swing.
Since he was the one who paid for all the expenses, the old man was particularly generous in approving "funds" from the Ministry of Rites, and Du Zhu was a little flattered.
After serving as the Minister of Rites for so long, this is the first time that His Majesty has approved funds so readily.
The most important point is that the Ministry of Revenue, which usually barks for half a day when you spend a little money, has become so quiet these days, which is really strange.
Anyway, no matter what, the money is in place, the workers are energetic, and all arrangements are progressing rapidly. In two days at most, the venue can be completed, and there is plenty of time to make adjustments and improvements.
Given the historical context, entertainment options are limited.
Going to see Du Dunming and the others is nothing more than partying, bragging, and drinking.
It can't be said that it's completely boring, but with him now, appearing in that kind of occasion will inevitably make these guys feel uncomfortable, and he is not very interested in such occasions. It would be better for him to stay at home and accompany Li Yan more.
When it comes to cultivation, Shen Yian has never been able to figure out his situation.
He could feel that his realm had been raised to the Half-Step Lunzang realm without him realizing it.
After reaching the Half-Step Lunzang Realm, his strength level continued to grow, as if there was no end.
As for the Wheel of Life that a great master in the Lunzang realm must possess, he didn't even see its shadow or its prototype, let alone trying to condense it.
His own divine pavilion is still hidden in the gold and silver lake within the qi sea.
However, as he further refines the Zhenwu Qi, gold now accounts for the majority of the Gold and Silver Lake, with silver accounting for less than a quarter. After a period of time, the Zhenwu Qi can be refined to pure gold, which will be a qualitative leap.
I wonder if the armor condensed solely by the Zhenwu Qi can be comparable to those defensive treasures in the future.
After having lunch with Li Yan, Shen Yian went to the study, intending to deal with the information sent back by the secret guards today, so that he could make time in the afternoon to practice piano with Li Yan or go out for a walk.
Before he could even sit down, Yinzai brought back an interesting piece of news.
His two good cousins actually came to Tianwu City at the critical moment of the Spring Examination.
The two of them first went to the palace to pay their respects to the old man, and then they were free to move around the city for the rest of the time.
The weasel pays a New Year's greeting to the chicken, but he has no good intentions.
In the final analysis, both of them are just pawns in the hands of the "Lord". If it weren't for the "Prince" skin, they would have no value to be utilized.
Shen Yian was not worried about what trouble Shen Xun and Shen Xiao might cause in the city, but he was afraid that there was a hidden force targeting the Spring Examination.
The last incident with the Huangfu family had a “not-so-big” impact on Shen Xun.
Because the Huangfu family had been completely destroyed by him, the old man did not take any subsequent actions against Shen Xun, perhaps because of what happened that year.
Even if Shen Xun and Shen Xiao completely crossed the red line, the result would probably be the same as that of his sixth uncle Shen Jinbai, imprisoned in the Thunder Prison and never seeing the light of day.
Shen Yian said that he would not interfere in the affairs of you older generation.
But I am of the same generation as Shen Xun and Shen Xiao, so I am sorry.
He had a little bit of grudge. Even if Shen Xun was half dead, Shen Xiao must die, and his death would be very complete, and he would not be able to reincarnate.
Besides, the conflict between the Shaming Sect and the "Lord" resulted in the deaths of two people. What does it have to do with him, the "Three Good Princes of Daqian"?
"Where are they?"
Retracting his thoughts, Shen Yian asked.
"Your Highness, after they left the palace, they went to a restaurant in Beicheng."
Hidden Disaster answered truthfully.
"That's right. I went to the palace to pay my respects to the old man right after arriving in Tianwu City. At this time, I really need to go have a meal. Let's go. I haven't seen my two cousins for a long time. Let's go and meet them by chance."
Shen Yian raised the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yin Zai knows his own prince very well. Judging from his expression, if nothing unexpected happens, these two will be in trouble.
In the restaurant's private room.
Shen Xiao waved the folding fan in his hand and said leisurely: "Tianwu City is still the best. It has everything. It's not like where I am. I don't know what to do when I go out every day."
"I'm suddenly curious about one thing. Is your place really fine?"
Shen Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yu Yang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead when he heard this question.
I hope these two won’t fight. He wants to eat.
"What do you think of the dean taking action personally?!"
Shen Xiao's eyes turned cold, full of warning.
"That's good. I'll treat you tonight and arrange for you to have a good time."
Shen Xun laughed.
"Humph."
