Chapter 732: Not Interested, Goodbye
After King Chan had gone some distance, Liu Ji straightened up and followed the large army back to the other courtyard.
The villain in his heart cursed Sikong Jian. If he hadn't assigned him this job, would he have offended King Chan?
Although the smile on King Chan's face had not changed just now, Liu Ji was the best at observing words and expressions without even looking at them. He only heard that the rhythm of King Chan's breathing changed a few times just now, and he knew that he had offended someone by saying "it's not convenient for the teacher to go out". .
Also, a little guy from a rural background dared to speak against the noble prince, and it was really life-threatening.
Of course, it was impossible for a King Chan to kill him. He is my wife's favorite, who dares to touch him?
But Liu Ji was still a little depressed.
When he lowered his head and looked at the bulging money bag, he saw that it was filled with silver pumpkins that he had taken in the silver building. The small pumpkins were made into thumb-sized pieces, and each one was worth five taels of silver. He grabbed a handful, six in total.
Thirty taels of silver! The depressed mood instantly became cheerful.
If King Chan is offended, then he is offended. He is the person sent by Sikong Jian, so the blame should be placed on Sikong Jian.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji was in a good mood. He put down all the gift boxes and resigned to King Chan in a dignified manner under the banner of Imperial Master.
Without waiting for King Chan to agree, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard with joyful steps.
Anyway, it was Sikong Jian who asked him to come, so it’s not too much for him to use his name, right?
It’s normal for a junior fellow of a country’s national master to act arrogantly!
Liu Ji had to go back to Puyuan every afternoon, so the coachman from the Imperial Prefecture was waiting at the gate of the other courtyard early.
Liu Ji swaggered out of the other courtyard and saw the coachman brother at a glance. He waved to him happily and said, "Hi!"
He got into the carriage and sat down, then ordered: "Go back to the Imperial Master's Mansion."
The coachman responded while urging the carriage to leave. However, when he passed the group of northern barbarian guards at the entrance of the other courtyard, he always felt that their eyes were a little unkind.
"Xiangong Liu, what have you done?" the coachman asked curiously.
Liu Ji innocently shrugged, "I didn't do anything."
Nothing done?
The guards of the Northern Barbarians all frowned. One of them quickly ran into the courtyard and found King Chan who was in the hall. Regardless of Lu Xiaofeng and the other three people who were still present, he stood in front of King Chan and said angrily:
"Your Majesty, Liu Ji must have been instructed by the Imperial Master to be so rude to you. The people of Sheng State look down upon us by treating guests like this!"
According to the rules on their grasslands, guests should be treated like family members.
If the host is disrespectful to the guest, the guest has the right to ask for the host's cattle and sheep as an apology, and the two parties can reconcile.
But if the host is unwilling to apologize, then the offended guest can kill him!
"Your Majesty!" The guard suddenly knelt down, crossed his chest and asked seriously for instructions: "Please allow me to go and kill the Shengguo man who is rude to the guests!"
Although Lu Xiaofeng and the other three receptionists could not fully understand what the black and strong guard said, they could clearly hear the words "Kill Sheng Guoren", and their faces were suddenly horrified.
"No, no." Lu Xiaofeng looked at the guard in shock and asked urgently: "You said you want to kill people from the Sheng Kingdom? If any of us provoke you, we will kill the good ones!"
The black and strong guard turned back sharply, glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and the others with fierce eyes, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the door, "Your people disrespect our prince, I will kill him!"
Lu Xiaofeng and the other three people immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they wanted to kill Liu Ji, so they were relieved.
The three of them bowed to King Chan in unison. King Chan didn't look very good, but he did not express his anger. He nodded and let them leave.
As for the guard who threatened to kill Liu Ji, he did not follow him.
Liu Ji was sent by the Imperial Preceptor's Office, but it was just a small matter like leaving without waiting for their prince's response. According to the rules of the Sheng Kingdom, it was just a few words of instruction.
The spies of the Imperial Preceptor's Office were one step ahead of Liu Ji and reported back to the Imperial Preceptor's Office that the Northern Barbarian guards wanted to kill him.
Sun Jiang didn't need to raise his eyes to know that his master's face must have darkened.
As soon as Liu Jigang got off the carriage, as expected, Sun Jiang escorted him to Sikong Jian.
"Sir, I've brought it here for you." After Sun Jiang reported, he left and closed the door.
Suddenly, only the sullen Sikong Jian and Liu Ji, who looked puzzled, were left in the dim room.
"What are you doing? The teacher is still waiting for me to cook for him. If the teacher is hungry, he will scold you to death!" Liu Ji yelled bluffingly.
Sikong clenched his molars after seeing this, took a deep breath, and recited the Calming Mantra silently, suppressing his murderous intention.
He sat on the main seat, tapping the armrests rhythmically with his fingertips. He stared at Liu Ji secretly for a long time, making him want to run away, and then he said:
"You did a great job, but don't do it again next time."
Liu Ji, who was already ready with threatening words, trembled all over when he heard this compliment, with goosebumps appearing on his skin.
He rubbed his face and arms hard, brushing away the goose bumps that appeared, and asked in shock: "What did you say?"
Sikong Jian actually praised him?
Liu Ji: "Are you okay?"
Sikong Jian glared at him angrily and said seriously: "Hu Yanhan has hinted at cooperation with me more than once. This person is really ridiculous. How can I, the majestic national master of Shengguo, cooperate with the regent of the Northern Barbarians?"
"It's good for you to be like this today. It saves me the time to explain."
"But that's enough for today. Don't do it again next time. Don't think that I don't know what you are hiding. You want to sow discord between me and King Chan, but you are still a little bit angry."
Liu Ji blinked. He seemed to have heard a terrible secret just now.
Also, who was Sikong Jian afraid of misunderstanding that he was close to King Chan?
Who did he save the effort to explain to?
Liu Ji's mind was filled with questions, but he didn't want to know the answer at all. He directly raised his hand to signal Sikong Jian to stop.
"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."
When Sikong Jian choked, Liu Ji, a country man, could always easily make him angry!
Liu Ji looked at Sikong Jian warily, thinking that he was going to ask Sun Jiang to kill him again.
Unexpectedly, he didn't get angry.
Liu Ji reasonably suspected that he might have been snatched away.
Sikong Jian breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "If the teacher likes you, you must not be as stupid as a pig. Hu Yanhan is an illiterate northern barbarian. If he intentionally or unintentionally inquires about the teacher, don't you think he has something else?" Purpose?"
Liu Ji nodded, "I think so, so I said that the teacher was ill again last night."
"It seems that you are not too stupid. There are many people who want to kill the teacher right now, you know?"
Liu Ji looked calm: "Isn't it you?"
Sikong felt a lump in his throat and wanted to shout to Sun Jiang to kill him.
But he still endured it and continued: "Someone wants to use the help of the northern barbarians to get rid of the teacher. You are right to prevent the northern barbarians from contacting the teacher."
Liu Jixin said that I have long seen that these northern barbarians do not look like good people, and you still need to tell me.
Sikong Jian looked at Liu Ji's vivid expression and gritted his teeth and reminded: "Maybe you don't need to take off your disguise in front of me."
He didn't want to read his informative expression at all!
Liu Ji immediately made a serious face, "Then can I leave?"
Sikong Jian raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you ask why I'm telling you this?"
Liu Ji raised his hands and clasped his fists, "No questions, not interested, leave!"
Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
He quickly made the teacher's dinner, took off his apron, and immediately called the driver to take him home.
The amount of information input today was too large, and he no longer knew how to process his mind.
Now he wants to see his wife immediately and tell her the news to divert his worries.
