Chapter 76: Retreat, trouble in the court
Late at night, the Jin Yiwei commanded the guards to serve at the door of Jiang Bin's mansion.
After drinking some wine, Jiang Bin, who looked a little rosy, was supported by Lin Qingyi and forced to send Pei Xuanjing to the door.
"Brother Pei, I haven't been so happy after drinking for a long time. To be honest, in terms of drinking capacity, I haven't convinced many people, and today you are one of them." Jiang Bin shook his head. said.
"Sir, please be careful." Lin Qingyi carefully supported Jiang Bin and said to Pei Xuanjing, who was also blushing, "Brother Pei, why don't you stay here tonight? Late. If you really can’t wait a moment, I’ll take you back in person after I’ve put you to bed.”
Lin Qingyi never expected that the two people would fight for wine while talking. One was not convinced and the other was drunk. Now both of them drank too much.
However, Pei Xuanjing may have profound skills, and the situation does not seem to be serious.
But thinking about Pei Xuanjing's assassination a few days ago, Lin Qingyi felt a little uneasy.
"No, I can." Although Pei Xuanjing's face turned a little red, he spoke clearly and refused Lin Qingyi's request.
Jiang Bin on the side also said loudly, "Brother Pei, we will be buddies from now on. Your business is my business. Anyone who can't get along with me, brother, can't get along with me."
Pei Xuanjing responded casually, and then said to Lin Qingyi, "Master Jiang has drunk too much, you'd better send him back home early."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Thank Master Jiang for me tomorrow. , just say that I am very satisfied with today's dinner."
Pei Xuanjing patted Lin Qingyi on the shoulder, turned around and boarded the carriage.
"You guys, send Brother Pei back, and be careful on the way." Lin Qingyi ordered the people in front of him.
“Yes, my lord.”
Waiting for the carriage to drive away and gradually disappear into the night.
Jiang Bin, who had closed his eyes and was leaning against Lin Qingyi, opened his eyes. His eyes were calm and alert, with no hint of drunkenness.
"Sir." Lin Qingyi was not surprised by this. He knew Master Jiang's ability to drink, and the drink just now would never make him drunk.
Jiang Bin looked at the carriage going away with interest and said: "Tomorrow, send someone to take three branches of five-hundred-year-old spiritual materials and send them over."
"Yes!" Lin Qingyi bowed Take orders personally.
The two of them turned around and went back home without mentioning it.
On the carriage, Pei Xuanjing opened his slightly closed eyes, the true energy in his body was circulating, and the smell of alcohol was gone.
At the banquet just now, the conductor was very tight-knit. Although he showed goodwill in every move, he never mentioned cooperation.
Everything was just a taste of things, and it was done to the point, without giving Pei Xuanjing a chance to refuse, nor leaving any excuse for words.
And the last scene where he was drunk and sent out was deliberately staged for people to watch.
Not only for Pei Xuanjing, but also for some other people.
But these are nothing. Pei Xuanjing put these things behind him and thought about another thing.
"The commander said that the reason why he wanted to stop Brother Pei that night was not his intention, but someone asked him to do that." Lin Qingyi said what he learned from the commander of the Military and Horse Division during the banquet. news.
It is said that someone held a token and ordered him to act like this. The commander didn't know the person carrying the token. But he knew that token, it was from Jin Yiwei.
A token from Jin Yiwei.
It seems that the person behind this is very energetic. Not only did he put aside his own relationship, but he also traced clues to Jin Yiwei.
"Haha, this is getting more and more interesting." Pei Xuanjing's expression turned cold.
Pei Xuanjing returned to the Martial Arts Academy from Jiang Mansion. He did not go to bed immediately, but continued to refine Tao Yun.
The water in Tiandu is getting muddier and muddier these days, making Pei Xuanjing more and more urgent to improve his strength.
The next day, he also received a gift from Jiang Bin.
In this regard, Pei Xuanjing did not refuse, but accepted it happily, 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 arts academy to continue refining Tao Yun in order to start the next life simulation.
It can be said that except for going out to Jiangfu and Gu Ji's mansion, he almost never stepped out of the martial arts academy.
Among them, Pei Xuanjing did not go to collect the reward for the Three Wolves of Mobei that was supposed to be delivered to him by Six Gates. Instead, Vice Dean Qingyangzi sent someone to collect it for him.
Pei Xuanjing devoted himself to cultivation and did not care about worldly affairs, so he seemed very low-key.
But the turmoil in Tiandu will not stop because of his low profile. On the contrary, the conflicts between all parties are becoming more and more intense.
On one day during the court meeting after Pei Xuanjing had been living in seclusion for about half a year, Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei, proposed to transfer soldiers and horses from the four towns to Beijing.
His reason was none other than the fact that Pei Xuanjing was assassinated in Tiandu.
“There was a murderer who sneaked into Tiandu in an attempt to cause chaos. Although he was killed by the editor of the martial arts academy, half a year has passed and the person behind the scenes has still not been found. It can be seen that Tiandu’s defense is lax, and the Three Law Division , Liumen, and the Jingwei are all incompetent, so I request you to mobilize soldiers and horses from the four towns to Tiandu to defend Tiandu and calm the hearts of the people of Tiandu." These were the exact words of Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. .
This speech was quite bold. Not only did he reprimand the Sanfasi, Liumen and Jingwei, but he also sent troops to Tiandu. This was even more humiliating for the above organizations.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a huge uproar in the court.
And what shocked the ministers the most was that His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting high above, had an ambiguous attitude. Faced with the commander Qian Ning's nonsense, not only did he not reprimand him, but he seemed to agree with it.
The next day in the court, the civil officials headed by the bachelor Li Dongyang strongly opposed Qian Ning's proposal, and even the censor Yan Guan impeached Qian Ning.
Suddenly, the entire court was turbulent and the situation was complicated.
After all, not to mention that the civil service group was very opposed to Qian Ning's proposal, even some people in the Xungui family did not want to see this happen.
Although Pei Xuanjing had heard a little bit about what happened in the court, he was not very concerned about it.
After all, given his status, even if his personal force is strong, he cannot influence the disputes in the court, nor can he determine the outcome.
And the most important thing is that after half a year, his Daoyun value has been accumulated enough again.
The Daoyun obtained by refining the "Three Jue Heart Techniques" and his daily martial arts practice The total amount of Tao Yun he comprehended has reached 60,000 points, which can support him in three life simulations.
