Chapter 60 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant (18)
Yu Sheng paused, and the next second, her sharp gaze fixed on the second floor. The man quickly unfolded his folding fan to cover his face.
But it was still too late.
888 had seen his face long ago.
"Sheng Sheng, the one who was covering his face with a fan just now is the protagonist, Qin Zheng."
Yu Sheng nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Actually, he wasn't surprised at all. According to what 888 said before, they would probably meet the protagonist, Qin Zheng, in Fengzhou. At this point in time, it was highly likely that it was Qin Zheng.
Despite Qin Zheng's carefulness, only glancing at it briefly, she was still discovered.
Besides Yu Sheng, Xie Hanzhou had also noticed it early on. After giving Qin Zheng upstairs a warning glare, he pulled Yu Sheng into the government office.
Qin Zheng was left alone on the second floor of the inn, staring blankly at the departing figures of the two.
"Your Highness, they actually..."
Before Qin Zheng could even speak, his subordinates became restless, wanting to seek justice for their master.
"Tie Niu, sit down."
The burly man called Iron Ox twitched the muscles on his chest and slammed his hand on the table in protest.
"Your Highness, how dare they glare at you? Tie Niu is just not convinced!"
Qin Zheng folded her fan and placed it on the table, then picked up a teacup and examined it carefully.
“I remember saying that you should address me as ‘Young Master’ in public.”
Tie Niu scratched his head. "Yes, Your Highness."
Qin Zheng covered her face: "..."
It's hopeless. I should never have brought Tie Niu.
"Besides, what can you do if you're not convinced? We were the ones who spied on them first, so their warning is justified. Moreover, we can't beat them."
Tie Niu's face flushed red, and he stammered, "But... they're just two pretty boys, I think I can do it."
Not only was he unconvinced, he even showed off his biceps to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng was completely speechless.
Yes, yes, you are strong and muscular, but can you use your simple mind to think that the pretty boy you're talking about is a martial arts master who could easily take on two of you with one punch?
You really live up to your name; what else do you have besides brute strength?
Qin Zheng didn't want to say anything more to him, so she turned to her imperial advisor and said, "Imperial advisor, it seems we're late this time."
The Grand Preceptor of the neighboring country, dressed in white with gray hair and a white beard, smiled but remained silent.
"What does the Imperial Preceptor mean by this?"
"Your Highness, I find the Grand Preceptor of Li Kingdom to be quite an interesting person."
Bai Jinghan, the Grand Preceptor of the Lin Kingdom, poured out the copper coins from the tortoise shell. In that instant, the copper coins turned into dust.
Qin Zheng was immediately shocked.
"How could your divination result be so...", Imperial Preceptor
"I can't predict his affairs, which is why I say the Grand Preceptor of Li Kingdom is very interesting."
Qin Zheng didn't understand, but she didn't ask any further questions.
After all, he's the imperial advisor; it's normal for him to be a bit mystical.

After being pulled into the government office by Xie Hanzhou, Yu Sheng questioned him in front of everyone, "Sheng Sheng, why were you looking at him just now?"
There was a hint of jealousy in his words.
The bewildered officials of Fengzhou Prefecture were astonished: They had heard that His Majesty had always been at odds with the Grand Preceptor, but they never imagined it was true.
Oh my god! Why did they have to start arguing at this time of year?
But Xie Hanzhou's next words completely shattered their worldview.
"Sheng Sheng, you stared at that person for almost two breaths. Is he as good-looking as me? He was covering his face, and he looked incredibly ugly and afraid to show his face!"
Qin Zheng: Xie Hanzhou, are you being polite?
"Sheng Sheng, you'd rather look at a faceless stranger than give me a second glance."
Fengzhou government official: Ah, this...
Is something wrong?
Wasn't His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor supposed to dislike each other? How come they've suddenly become so ambiguous?
And why does their emperor look so worthless? You could say they're practically giving him away for free, right?
Immediately afterwards, they saw Xie Hanzhou leaning against Yu Sheng as if no one else was around, rubbing against his neck like a large, intelligent dog.
People in Fengzhou Prefecture: Hiss—
Something's even more wrong now. Is this really their Emperor?
Even if the title of "tyrant" is an exaggeration, their emperor's temperament was certainly not gentle, and then look at this one now...
How is it related to the word "tyrant"?
The people of Fengzhou unconsciously looked at Steward An and his group, and when they saw the indifferent expressions on their faces, they were completely shocked.
So, what exactly is the relationship between their Emperor and the Grand Preceptor?
888: Wow, this aged vinegar has spread far and wide.
Yu Sheng didn't know what to say.
One thing 888 said before was right: as long as he successfully takes over Xie Hanzhou, it doesn't matter, he will automatically switch from the "tyrant" persona to the "tyrant" persona.
"Cough cough cough, so many people are watching, you better watch yourself."
"I don't--"
"I was watching you just now, and you went to look at other men in broad daylight! I don't care, I don't care!"
Xie Hanzhou: I'm angry, and my wife has to coax me!
Otherwise!!
I'm about to cause a scene!
Yu Sheng understood his subtext and symbolically comforted him.
Someone's expression instantly brightened, and they happily coaxed Xiao Qu'er.
Chief Steward An and his men: It seems their Emperor has the tendencies of a tyrannical ruler.
People from Fengzhou Prefecture: The Imperial Preceptor also has the potential to become a seductive concubine.
Everyone: They're a perfect match!
Xie Hanzhou actually felt that he had been somewhat unreasonable.
But I don't know why.
Upon seeing the figure on the second floor of the inn, a deep sense of unease suddenly welled up within him.
This unease reached its peak when Yu Sheng stared at the man for several seconds.
A sense of disgust arose in his heart towards that shameless outsider, which is why he couldn't wait to cricket Qin Zheng.
He trusted his intuition; what if that person was deliberately trying to steal his queen?
Qin Zheng: "..."
I admire you, I truly admire you.
"Ahem... Your Majesty, Grand Preceptor, how about we discuss the matter of praying for rain first?" The magistrate of Fengzhou asked tentatively, only to meet Xie Hanzhou's murderous gaze.
Magistrate of Fengzhou County: It seems that His Majesty's gentleness varies from person to person.
Since the magistrate of Fengzhou County was able to sit in this position, he must have some ability to read people's expressions and moods.
He immediately decided to ask Yu Sheng directly.
The reason is simple: His Majesty is busy openly and brazenly peeking at the Imperial Advisor!
If he disturbed Xie Hanzhou, Fengzhou County Magistrate believed he would definitely be the next person to lose his head.
He is still young and doesn't want to go down to meet his ancestors so soon.
"I wonder what the Grand Preceptor intends to do? We, the people of the county government, will certainly do our utmost to cooperate with the Grand Preceptor's rain-making efforts."
"Then we will have to rely heavily on the county magistrate for the matter of praying for rain."
"Your Excellency, this is what we should do! After all, as officials, we should naturally serve the country and its people."
