Chapter 1227 Who is behind the academy?
Zhu Feng turned his gaze to Jian Ruocheng again.
But Jian Ruocheng also raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.
"Why do you do that?"
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng had no reaction, while Nan Yan, who was standing beside him, had already turned pale and subconsciously said, "Second Young Master!"
At the same time, the Jinyiwei outside the door who were following Zhu Feng in plain clothes were already furious.
“Bold!”
No matter who it is, if they dared to be so rude to the emperor, they would have been dragged out and beheaded under normal circumstances.
As soon as they opened their mouths, the assistants and students gathered around them and asked, "What are you doing?"
"What's so bold about that? You killed someone, and you can still take him away?"
"We won't allow people to run wild in our academy!"
Those who followed Zhu Feng to Daozhujian Academy were all elite members of the Jinyiwei. Even without counting their status as Jinyiwei, they were all members of the royal family with noble status. They had never suffered such humiliation. When they saw these students and auxiliary practitioners yelling at them, their faces darkened.
Their hands touched the swords at their waists.
"How dare you, are you going to rebel?"
"What's the point of rebellion? You are the ones who disregard the law!"
Just as the argument was getting heated outside, Nan Yan gritted her teeth and shouted angrily out the window, "Shut up, everyone!"
It suddenly became quiet outside.
The Jinyiwei naturally did not dare to disobey the imperial concubine's wishes, and the people in the academy did not expect that such a dignified and beautiful lady would suddenly lose her temper. They were frightened by her and all kept their mouths shut.
Nan Yan turned her head again, her breath trembling slightly.
She said to Jian Ruocheng again: "Second Young Master!"
No matter what, Zhu Feng is the emperor!
He was even an emperor with a bad temper, always walking on the line between a wise ruler and a tyrant.
He can protect his country from invasion by other countries, severely punish corrupt officials, and work hard for their dream of a prosperous era, but at the same time, he may also kill three thousand people in a fit of rage.
No matter what, Jian Ruocheng shouldn't say such things to provoke him.
Especially since this is a college, there are too many innocent students here who should not be involved in this struggle.
Hearing her call him like that, Jian Ruocheng's eyes flickered.
It was like a person being suddenly stabbed in the chest with a needle. Although not fatal, the pain made his whole body twitch. He gritted his teeth, clenched the teacup with both hands, and said word by word: "Please don't call me that again."
“…”
"I said, the Jian family no longer exists, and there is no 'Second Young Master Jian' here anymore."
“…”
Nan Yan's breath was choked.
At this moment, a hand reached out, covered her hand and pressed it gently, signaling her not to speak anymore. Nan Yan raised her head and met Zhu Feng's gaze.
Even though the sun was shining brightly outside at this moment, his gaze was as cold as ice.
He looked at Jian Ruocheng and said coldly, "Is this your choice?"
Jian Ruocheng said: "I have no choice."
"So today, you won't let me take my son away."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng gritted his teeth and said, "I still say the same thing - why do you do that?"
“…”
"Are you going to kill everyone here like you did before?"
Cold sweat broke out in Nan Yan's palms.
Every word Jian Ruocheng said was a provocation to Zhu Feng, as if he was sacrificing his own life, because he knew very well that the current situation in Jinling was already very chaotic, and the world's opinion of Zhu Feng had also changed greatly because of the remarks of these students. Once Zhu Feng really started a massacre in Jinling, some things would be irreversible!
She looked at Zhu Feng nervously.
Zhu Feng's face looked gloomy, but it was just gloomy, and he didn't seem to be angry.
He even reached out and picked up the teapot himself. Under Nan Yan's surprised gaze, he poured tea into his own cup and said slowly, "You are different from them. You know who I am."
“…”
"But you still dare to provoke me like this. Besides your experience, I'm afraid it's because someone is backing you up."
“…”
"Who is behind this Bamboo Academy?"
Jian Ruocheng didn't say anything, but facing each other at such a close distance, Nan Yan clearly felt his breath hitch.
After Zhu Feng filled a cup of tea to seven-tenths, he stopped, slowly raised his head, and looked into Jian Ruocheng's eyes.
"Tell me, why should I?"
“……!”
Jian Ruocheng's eyes flashed.

The carriage stopped in front of a small building.
The driver said, "We're here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Fuxiu jumped off the carriage.
This place is not considered a suburb, it's just a bit remote, so there are almost no pedestrians on the road. But even so, after Xia Fuxiu stopped, he still looked around very carefully to see if anyone was following him.
Of course not.
There was no one around, not to mention people, not even a ghost.
He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the small building.
This small building, like this quiet long street, has its doors and windows tightly closed, and there is no sound from inside. Just looking at it, it feels like the building is deserted.
But Xia Fuxiu knew that it was not the case.
He walked over and pushed the door. Just like before, it was closed tightly. Xia Fuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, as if this made him feel more at ease.
Behind him, on the silent long street where not even a ghost could be seen, in the dark corner where the sun could not reach, there were several pairs of sharp eyes staring at his back, each one silently.
Just waiting for his move.
Xia Fuxiu pushed the door a few times to make sure it was closed, then raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.
Three long and two short.
Obviously, it's a code.
Suddenly, everyone held their breath and listened quietly to the movement inside.
After a while, an old voice was heard from behind the closed door: "Who?"
"I."
Xia Fuxiu spoke simply and did not reveal his identity, but the other party did not ask again. It seemed that this kind of question and answer had happened more than once.
However, the other party asked: "Why did you come at this time?"
"Something happened in the academy."
"No matter what, you shouldn't come at this time."
"However, only at this moment can we find the opponent's weakness and deliver a fatal blow."
"You mean—"
"Let me in first."
It was quiet for a while, then there was a noise, the sound of the bolt being pulled out, and then the door was opened. However, it was too dark inside, so that no sunlight could shine in. All that could be seen was Xia Fuxiu saying to the person inside: "You——"
At this moment, several Jinyiwei figures rushed over like lightning.
