Chapter 8 Chess Pieces



After sweeping four plates of side dishes and a bowl of porridge across the table, Feng Xiyun still felt he hadn't eaten enough. Just as he was about to call Sishu to prepare some more, Feng Ming stopped him: "You haven't eaten much in a few days. Don't eat too much at once. Eat at dinner."

Feng Xiyun was quite obedient and asked the four books to clear away the mess on the table. Feng Ming then had someone bring some digestive tea.

Seeing that Feng Xiyun was finally settled, Feng Ming asked, "You just asked me to ask about the Five Classics, but why didn't I see him ask about the Four Books today?"

Speaking of this, Feng Xiyun got a little angry again, and snorted, "Hmph, that dog slave. That day when Wang Yijun and I got into a fight, Sishu was smart enough to run off to find someone else and leave him aside. He didn't even bother to come up and help or to loyally protect his master. I've been feeling depressed these past few days and really don't want to see him, so I sent him to clean the stables."

"You, you still have the temper of a child. You are a little prince, and Wang Yijun is the eldest son of the Grand Tutor's family. Do you think Wujing dares to go up? He has been punished these days, so let him come back. I still have something to ask him." Fengming knew that Feng Xiyun did not really want to punish Wujing, but just took the opportunity to vent, so he gave him a way out.

After all, he had been serving by her side since childhood. Sure enough, Feng Xiyun said, "Okay, I'm doing this for your sake. That kid Wujing, hum..." After saying this, he called Sishu in and said, "Go to the stable and call Wujing back."

"yes"

Upon hearing this, Sishu was overjoyed and hurried to the stable, where he saw Wujing sitting by the stable in a daze, waving a piece of grass in his hand unconsciously.

"Hey!" Sishu walked over quietly and suddenly shouted, thinking that it would scare Wujing, but Wujing just looked up at him quietly and said, "Oh, Sishu, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to tell you to go back. The young prince is calling you!"

Upon hearing this, Wujing jumped three feet high. That day, he was too timid to rush forward to help the little prince block the fists, and was punished by the little prince to clean the stables. He thought that the little prince really didn't want him and he would have to spend his whole life in the stable, but suddenly, there was a sudden change of events and he was willing to let him go back.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's go, let's go back quickly and don't let the young prince wait anxiously." As he said that, he pulled Sishu and ran towards Feng Xiyun's yard.

He ran to the gate of the courtyard in one breath and then stopped timidly. He hesitated and asked Sishu, "Is the little prince okay? How has he been these days? Um...did he mention me?"

Sishu and Wujing had been with Feng Xiyun since they were five years old. Their friendship was as deep as that of twin brothers. Seeing Wujing's timid look, he quickly tried to persuade them, "The young prince has been angry these past few days and hasn't said much to you. You know how soft-hearted he is, and he doesn't really blame you. But I still advise you to be braver next time. Even if he's the Grand Tutor's son, our young prince is the most important. Remember that?"

"Oh, I remember it." Wujing secretly kept the words of Sishu in mind, and later he really helped Feng Xiyun to block the danger several times, and even saved Feng Xiyun's life when it was most dangerous.

But these are all later stories. Now Wujing was still a "guilty man" who had just made a mistake. After calming down and tidying up his clothes, Wujing walked into the room with his head down and knelt down to Feng Xiyun.

"Young prince, Wujing... Wujing is back." I thought I was mentally prepared, but as soon as Wujing entered the room and knelt down to speak, I couldn't help crying.

Feng Xiyun, who was originally angry, lost his temper when he saw him like this: "Alright, alright, it's good that you're back. Why are you still crying? Did I punish you wrongly?"

"No... the young prince was right to be punished... woo, it's Wujing who was wrong... woo, Wujing will definitely protect the young prince's safety first in the future." Wujing wanted to hold back his tears when he heard Feng Xiyun's words, but he couldn't help it. In the end, he expressed his loyalty with tears.

Feng Xiyun said nothing more. After he calmed down a little, he said, "Let me ask you, when I was fighting with Wang Yijun that day, did you see what happened on the scene?"

"I saw it. The young prince and the young master of the Wang family suddenly started fighting. Sishu asked me to stay at the scene to look after them while he went to find the city defense troops." Having said that, Wujing quietly raised his head and secretly observed Feng Xiyun's expression. Seeing that he was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"So you saw everything that happened during that period clearly until the people from the Military Affairs Department came and separated them? Then let me ask you, did you see Bai Wanshuang being taken away by General Wuwei? Did they say anything?" Feng Ming interrupted.

Wu Jing hadn't expected Feng Ming to ask about Bai Wanshuang and General Wuwei. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly tried to recall. After all, he was mainly concerned about Feng Xiyun's condition that day. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Princess, I was mainly looking after the young prince that day. The woman went up to stop the fight but suddenly bumped into General Wuwei. I was a little surprised, so I paid more attention."

"Bai Wanshuang pretended to be unsteady due to the fighting, and General Wuwei pulled her up. They exchanged a few words, and then General Wuwei's expression suddenly changed, and he took the girl away. I was a little flustered watching General Wuwei's steps as he left."

After the Five Classics finished, Feng Ming had no time to ask further questions, but Feng Xiyun interrupted and scolded: "Well, you bastard, you didn't help your master, but you paid attention to others. You have no conscience."

Wu Jing, who had just calmed down, began to stammer again, glancing at Feng Xiyun with all kinds of small eyes. Feng Ming ignored Feng Xiyun. He was in such a bad mood and continued to ask Wu Jing: "Did you hear what they said?"

"Well... it seemed that the girl thanked General Wuwei first, and then General Wuwei was about to leave. She pulled him twice, but this servant didn't notice. But later, when the girl saw General Wuwei was about to leave, she said something... I know him..., and General Wuwei's face changed. He pulled the girl and walked out of the circle of people. He was very fierce at that time." Wujing frowned subconsciously as he spoke. It seemed that Hao Zhangming's face was indeed very fierce at that time.

Feng Ming had actually been busy these past few days. He had already had his men interview the onlookers who had witnessed the beating in the East Market that day. Their accounts were identical to those of Feng Xiyun and Wu Jing. Someone standing close to Hao Zhangming even reported hearing General Wu Wei grit his teeth and say, "Are you looking for death?"

When Feng Xiyun said this time, he actually just knew that he was unhappy, so he asked him to speak out to resolve the grievances in his heart.

However, it was confirmed by Feng Xiyun, the person involved, that his going to East Market and fighting that day were all planned by someone, and there was a mastermind behind all this. Both Feng Xiyun and Hao Zhangming had become pawns on someone else's chessboard.

As for who is playing chess, the next step may be to visit the man who is said to be obsessed with Bai Wanshuang recently - Wuwei General Hao Zhangming!
