Chapter 76: Retreat, a Turmoil in the Court

Late at night, at the gate of the residence of Jiang Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Jiang Bin, who had drunk some wine and had a ruddy face, was supported by Lin Qingyi and insisted on sending Pei Xuanjing to the door.

"Brother Pei, I haven't drunk so happily for a long time. To be honest, I haven't defeated many people in terms of drinking capacity, and you are one of them today." Jiang Bin said staggeringly.

"Sir, please be careful." Lin Qingyi supported Jiang Bin carefully, and said to Pei Xuanjing, whose face was also a little red, "Brother Pei, why don't you stay here tonight. If it doesn't work, wait a little, and I will send you back personally after I rest you."

Lin Qingyi never thought that the two of them would compete with each other in drinking, and now they were both drunk.

However, Pei Xuanjing may have profound skills, and it doesn't seem that the situation is too serious.

But thinking of the assassination of Pei Xuanjing a few days ago, Lin Qingyi was a little worried.

"No, I can do it." Although Pei Xuanjing's face was a little red, he spoke clearly and rejected Lin Qingyi's request.

Jiang Bin on the side also said loudly, "Brother Pei, we are brothers from now on. Your business is my business. Whoever makes trouble for you, is making trouble for me."

Pei Xuanjing responded casually, and then said to Lin Qingyi, "Lord Jiang has drunk too much, you should send him back home early."

"Okay, I'm leaving. Thank Lord Jiang for me tomorrow and say that I am very satisfied with today's dinner."

Pei Xuanjing patted Lin Qingyi's shoulder and turned to get on the carriage.

"You guys, send Brother Pei back, be careful on the road." Lin Qingyi ordered the few people in front of him.

"Yes, sir."

Waiting for the carriage to go away and gradually disappear into the night.

Jiang Bin, who had closed his eyes and leaned on Lin Qingyi, opened his eyes. His eyes were calm and bright, and there was no sign of drunkenness.

"Sir." Lin Qingyi was not surprised at all. He knew the alcohol tolerance of Lord Jiang. The little wine just now would definitely not make him drunk.

Jiang Bin looked at the carriage with interest and said, "Send someone to get three 500-year-old spiritual materials tomorrow."

"Yes!" Lin Qingyi bowed and accepted the order.

The two turned around and went back to the mansion without saying anything.

In the carriage, Pei Xuanjing opened his slightly closed eyes, and the true energy in his body circulated, sweeping away the smell of alcohol.

At the banquet just now, this commander was very powerful. Although every move showed goodwill, he never mentioned cooperation.

All things were just a taste, and they stopped at the right time. Pei Xuanjing was not given a chance to refuse, nor did he leave any handle for words.

And the part where he sent himself out drunk at the end was deliberately performed for others to see.

Not only for Pei Xuanjing, but also for some other people.

But these are nothing. Pei Xuanjing put these things behind him first and thought about another thing.

"The commander said that he didn't mean to stop Brother Pei that night, but someone asked him to do so." At the banquet, Lin Qingyi told the news from the commander of the military division.

It is said that someone held a token and ordered him to act in this way. The commander did not know the person with the token.

But he knew the token, which was from the Jinyiwei.

The token from the Jinyiwei.

It seems that the person behind this is very powerful. Not only did he put aside his own relationship, but he also led the clues to the Jinyiwei.

"Haha, this matter is getting more and more interesting." Pei Xuanjing's face turned cold.

Pei Xuanjing returned to the martial arts academy from Jiang Mansion, and did not go to bed immediately, but continued to refine the Tao rhyme.

The water in Tiandu became more and more muddy, making Pei Xuanjing more and more eager to improve his strength.

The next day, he also received a gift from Jiang Bin.

In response, Pei Xuanjing did not refuse, but accepted it with pleasure, as if he had released his attitude to the outside world.

In the following days, Pei Xuanjing spent most of his time in the Martial Academy to continue refining the Dao Yun in order to start the next life simulation.

It can be said that except for going out to Jiang Mansion and Gu Ji's mansion, he almost never stepped out of the Martial Academy.

Among them, even the reward for the Three Wolves of Mobei that the Six Gates should have given him did not go to collect it in person, but was sent by Vice President Qingyangzi to take it for him.

Pei Xuanjing was devoted to hard work and did not care about worldly affairs, which seemed very low-key.

However, the turmoil in Tiandu would not stop because of his low profile, but the conflicts between the parties became more and more intense.

At a court meeting one day after Pei Xuanjing had been in seclusion for about half a year, Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei, proposed to transfer troops from the four towns to Beijing.

His reason was not other than the assassination of Pei Xuanjing in Tiandu.

"There were actually criminals who sneaked into Tiandu and tried to cause chaos. Although they were killed by the editor of the Martial Academy, half a year has passed and the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found. It can be seen that Tiandu's defense is lax, and the three judicial departments, the six gates and the Beijing Guards are all incompetent. Therefore, I request to transfer the troops of the four towns to Tiandu to protect Tiandu and reassure the people of Tiandu." These are the original words of Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

This speech is bold. Not only did it reprimand the three judicial departments, the six gates and the Beijing Guards, but it was also a humiliation for the above institutions to transfer troops to Tiandu.

As soon as he finished speaking, he caused a big uproar in the court.

What shocked the ministers the most was that the emperor, who was sitting high above, had an ambiguous attitude. Facing the nonsense of the commander Qian Ning, he not only did not rebuke him, but seemed to agree with him.

The next day, the civil officials headed by the Grand Secretary Li Dongyang strongly opposed Qian Ning's proposal, and even the censor Yan Guan impeached Qian Ning.

For a while, the whole court was in turmoil and the situation was complicated.

After all, not to mention that the civil official group was very opposed to Qian Ning's proposal, even some people in the noble family did not want to see this.

Although Pei Xuanjing had heard a little about the things in the court, he was not very concerned.

After all, with his status, even if he was powerful, he could not influence the disputes in the court, nor could he decide the outcome.

And most importantly, after half a year, his Dao Yun value had accumulated enough again.

The Dao Yun obtained from refining the "Three Absolute Heart Method" and the Dao Yun he gained from practicing martial arts on weekdays, added up to 60,000 points, which could support him to conduct three life simulations.
