Chapter 35 I Understand Everything
I was robbed the night before yesterday. The incident happened near the border between Beijing and Cangzhou. I didn't get the news until today.
Du Huaizhi sneered in his heart. This court official was really useless. Of course, he had to admit that the Tiandihui was quite authoritative in blocking the news and destroying the body.
…
Last night, after successfully taking the birthday gift.
On the top floor of Wangyou Pavilion, Wei Shan waved his folding fan, stepped on a chair, and spoke vividly:
"You know, Song Qianli's pair of silver-armored iron hands are indestructible, impervious to swords and spears. 'Xi' fought him for three hundred rounds, the battle was so intense that it was dark and gloomy, with swords flashing and sabers flying. Even 'Zhan Yue' was unleashed, but he couldn't be harmed at all. This 'Iron Hand Judge' truly deserves the title, and his reputation is well-deserved."
As Wei Shan spoke, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Hongluan, who was feeling sleepy from listening to the story, covered her lips with her hands and yawned, jokingly saying, "Qingshan Academy is truly worthy of being the number one academy in Dayuan. 'Tong' the Dharma Protector has only been studying at the academy for less than two months, and he's already so eloquent."
"I've already told you not to call me 'Tong' the guardian. Call me Master Wei." Wei Shan acted like a kid from an aristocratic family.
"Yes, Master Wei." Hongluan bowed, and Wei Shan finally revealed a satisfied smile. The corner of Hongluan's mouth twitched slightly, "I wonder how they captured Song Qianli later?"
"That's all thanks to me, Wei." Wei Shan folded his folding fan. "At that time, Xi was exhausted and had no strength to fight anymore. Song Qianli took the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop. At the critical moment, I stepped forward and with just one move, I beat Song Qianli to the point where he had no chance to fight back. In the end, he died under my leaves..."
"At that time, 'Xi' was so grateful that he knelt on the ground and held up his precious knife with both hands to express his gratitude for saving his life. However, Wei did not want it." Wei Shan showed a smug smile on his face.
"Who kneels down on the ground and holds it up with both hands?" A low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
Hongluan immediately knelt on the ground, raised her hands above her head, and saluted respectfully, "Greetings, Master."
Wei Shan jumped off the chair, raised his hands and bowed, "Head."
A dark purple figure lifted the bead curtain and slowly stepped into the pavilion. Half of the man's face was hidden behind a bronze mask, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes as deep as a cold pond.
"Go on." The man's voice was a little playful, making it difficult to discern his true emotions. "I also want to hear about Master Wei's great achievements."
Wei Shan's forehead was covered in sweat, but he still forced a smile and said, "I have already said it. If I say it again, it will lose its meaning."
The man came to the table and opened the box on the table. Inside was a bloody head. It was Song Qianli.
"Young Master Wei." The slender fingers stroked Song Qianli's ferocious face, and the blood on the fingertips glowed dark red under the candlelight.
When Wei Shan's name was called, he shuddered and swallowed, "Captain, you can just call me Xiao Tong."
Hongluan's body, lying on the ground, trembled slightly, but she heard the man suddenly chuckle, "Well done."
As soon as these four words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed considerably. Wei Shan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. President. This is what I should do."
"Where is she?" the man asked.
Wei Shan raised an eyebrow. "Originally, everyone should have come, but some people, after making great contributions, became lazy and slack, not even paying attention to the head of the meeting."
The man closed the box and said, "I'll go look for her later."
Hearing this, Wei Shan automatically imagined the scene where "Xi" saw the leader of the meeting coming to him in person, was very respectful, and then was rewarded handsomely. He felt so happy.
In order to let his guildmates feel the warmth from their fellow guildmates, Wei Shan stepped forward and added, "Headmaster, if they are still like this to you, how can you not take us, your peers, seriously?"
The man glanced at him and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course." Wei Shan became interested again. "You ordered us to work together on this operation, but Xi went ahead without saying a word. When I arrived, he was already grappling with Song Qianli. He was not as strong as the other one, so I had to help him."
"But Xi not only didn't appreciate it, he even attacked his subordinates in front of Song Qianli, causing them to kill each other, making a fool of themselves."
The man threw something from his sleeve, and Wei Shan raised his hand to catch it. It turned out to be a round night pearl, emitting a faint blue light in his palm.
"It's your reward."
Wei Shan's eyes widened. This was a tribute from the East China Sea. There were no more than three of them! Adhering to the principle of not showing off one's wealth, he put the pearl into his arms and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hui!"
Not only did he personally teach the "Xi" whom he hated a lesson, but he also rewarded him with such a precious night pearl. It turned out that Wei Shancai was the first in the leader's mind.
"There's something else I need you to do." The man said.
Wei Shan raised his hand and said, "I am all ears."
…
In the morning, An Nian returned to Du Huaizhi's temporary residence with a rosy face. Seeing Du Huaizhi wake up, she was surprised and said, "You wake up..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a silencing gesture from Du Huaizhi, who pointed at Du Ruzhi who was sleeping next to him.
An Nian understood and nodded.
Du Huaizhi got up quietly and took An Nian to the outer room to talk. As soon as they walked out of the inner room, An Nian asked, "What happened to your injury?"
"It's all right now."
"Oh." An Nian remembered something. "Just now when I came back, I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He asked me to come in and see you. If you have rested well, you can go out for breakfast."
"He is quite attentive." Du Huaizhi touched the bill hidden in his sleeve, which was densely marked with items such as "protection fee", "cake price", and "processing fee".
An Nian wanted to say something but stopped herself, "That prince seems to have some feelings about you..."
"That's not important." Du Huaizhi interrupted her, "Where did you go last night?"
An Nian smiled sheepishly, "Last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited an imperial physician to see you. It was my first time meeting an imperial physician in the palace, and I was really attracted to him. I mentioned it casually, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke up for your sake, so the physician agreed to let me learn from him."
Du Huaizhi: “…”
Speaking of this, Du Huaizhi had an idea. An Nian's admission to the Imperial Hospital could be done through Li Zixian. Since that pervert had allowed her to get close to Li Zixian, she should make good use of this connection.
Seeing that she didn't say anything and didn't look angry, An Nian came over and said, "Your affairs have spread. I think the prince does have feelings for you. Why don't you..." An Nian raised his two thumbs face to face and smiled.
Du Huaizhi frowned, "What happened between me and Li Zixian? What happened?"
An Nian was stunned for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on his face, as if to say, "I understand everything, don't pretend."
Du Huaizhi: "...you don't understand."
