Lu Ren was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he sighed and laughed. Let all the civil and military officials come together to crowd into the Heavenly Prison?
Only a princess could say such a thing, and the emperor most likely agreed.
Lu Ren took two steps closer and found that this Diyega was even more terrifying than he had expected.
"Theriaca..."
As if realizing that there was someone standing in front of the cell, Alice pounced and shouted, "Give me!"
Seeing this, the jailer stepped forward and explained: "General Lu, we specially found an interpreter to listen to what she said. The meaning of these two sentences is, give me, Diyega, these days our jailers can speak these two sentences in Xili dialect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alice in the cell seemed to lose strength. She leaned against the cell door and slowly fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Her cloudy eyes moved and finally fixed on Lu Ren's face.
"Lu...Ninja."
Her forehead was covered in sweat, and she had obviously regained consciousness. "Are you here to laugh at me?"
A puzzled look flashed across Lu Ren's face: "No."
"Then why are you standing here?"
Lu Ren didn't plan to talk to her any more and just turned around and left.
But Alice shouted, "Yes! I lost! Xili lost! Winners take losers, I accept it! Originally, I didn't agree with their attack on Xiqin Pass, and even tried to dissuade them. But they have killed so many people! There is no turning back! When Xili was in a life-and-death situation, as a princess, I had to make plans for Xili... no matter what method I used."
"We each serve our own master. From your perspective, I am your enemy, but from Xili's perspective, I am not an unforgivable villain. I am just an ambitious but failed princess. If I succeed, I will be the Princess of Xili who will be passed down through the ages in history books!"
Lu Ren looked back, unmoved: "Don't try to confuse ideas. Your Xili ambitions should not be built on the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiqinguan."
"Besides, why are you telling me this?"
Alice smiled slightly: "Because I really admire you. I originally wanted to take you into my royal court after I conquered Dasheng..."
Lu Ren coldly rebuked: "Wishful thinking."
Alice shook her head, "No, how could it be wishful thinking? If the Gapian Project succeeded, you would be willing."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren imitated Wen Yu's tone and said sarcastically, "You are so confident."
After saying this, he returned to his usual cold expression, "If Dasheng falls, I will die in battle."
Alice smiled weakly when she heard this: "None of the princes and nobles in Xili can compare to you, how can they be worthy of me..."
Lu Ren looked at Alice thoughtfully, and after a moment he seemed to have figured something out.
There was a flash of absurdity and anger in his eyes: "So you want to use the ga pian on me so that I can wag my tail and beg for mercy from you."
Alice didn't refute, but curled the corners of her lips: "What a pity... I could have made you kneel down and beg me."
As she spoke, she hugged herself. The urge to take drugs had just passed, and after cold sweat formed, she felt a little cold and shivered involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lu Ren showed no mercy, sneered contemptuously, and strode out of the prison.
It's simply ridiculous.
But he couldn't help but think about himself. If what Alice said was true, would his willpower be able to resist the effects of the drug?
Thinking of this, Lu Ren's eyes turned cold. This kind of thing must be eliminated from the source!
Lu Renfei mounted his horse and prepared to go to the palace to meet the emperor, but when passing Lin'an Street, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure.
It’s the scholar from the Essay Teahouse.
He was walking out of a jewelry store with a box in his hand.
Lu Ren narrowed his eyes, then walked away without looking back, as if he didn't see anything.
Yue Lingfeng opened the box, looked at the jade bracelet lying quietly inside, and curled his lips.
Tomorrow is the Spring Examination, and the young lady will come to see him off. He will give this jade bracelet to the young lady as a gift for the Spring Examination.
At this time, his good friend Cheng Enwen walked out from behind him.
"I say you too. The gifts for the Spring Examination are given to candidates by others. How can a candidate be eager to give them to others? You have really been bewitched by Miss Lei."
"She left you for so long, but you're so happy when she comes. All you can think of is her. You even said you only want her and no one else. Brother Yue, I firmly believe that you are the future number one scholar. You will have many choices in the future. Why do you have to stick to her alone?"
"To this day, I have never seen the Miss Lei you mentioned. I really don't understand how she could have charmed you, Brother Yue, into such a state of confusion."
Yue Lingfeng closed the box: "I don't want you to see the young lady either."
"Ah?" Cheng Enwen was confused.
Yue Lingfeng said nothing for a moment, and then said, "Brother Cheng, the purpose of taking the imperial examination is not to have many choices. Why should you stick to one person? A real man will naturally worry about his people when he is in a high position in the government, and worry about his ruler when he is far away from home. If you continue like this, you will definitely not be able to become a Jinshi. That's all I have to say."
Yue Lingfeng said this and walked away.
Cheng Enwen's face turned red and he immediately chased after him: "Brother Yue, wait for me! It's my fault. I didn't keep in mind my original intention of passing the exam and I should be punished!"
"What's the point of punishment or no punishment? Just be clear-minded and don't have to explain to others."
Cheng Enwen lowered his head in frustration: "Brother Yue is right. I will stick to my original intention."
Yue Lingfeng sighed. If Cheng Enwen had not helped him when he was poor and often came to his place to look for him, they would never have walked together.
Yue Lingfeng also knew that Cheng Enwen was placing his bet on him, betting that his talent would make him the new number one scholar in this spring's imperial examination.
"By the way, Brother Yue, I heard from others that there is a shop that sells very delicious dry snacks, which are suitable for taking into the examination room as dry food. Let's go buy some. Delicious food is always better than bad food."
Yue Lingfeng shook his head: "No need."
The two separated, and as Yue Lingfeng walked into the alley, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of his door carrying something that looked like a candied haws.
Liu Chun heard the noise, and while carrying the candied haws stick, he glanced sideways and said, "Master Yue, why are you not at home today?"
Yue Lingfeng quickened his pace slightly: "But what's the matter, young lady?"
"Yes, my lady asked me to bring you some candied haws. Here, this is the bunch."
Liu Chun said this as he stuffed the candied haws stalk into Yue Lingfeng's hand.
Yue Lingfeng was forced to take it. He looked at the candied haws stuffed full of candied haws and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Yue Lingfeng: ...
I guess the lady must have had some hidden meaning in giving this candied haws stick as a gift.
