The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 62 Summoned by His Majesty the Emperor
How to find an unknown tea house in such a huge city of gods?

Ji Pingan said that it was too easy for star officials.

After divination in their hearts, several people turned around and finally locked the target on a slightly secluded street corner.

Probably due to the poor location, there are few customers in this teahouse named "Anxiang", but the environment is very elegant, which is different from the popular places in the market where peddlers drink tea and eat cakes.

Not only were there hanging green vines on the outer wall, but when Ji Ping'an and the other three entered the building, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy could be seen everywhere on the wall.

"Hey, the environment here is pretty good. How do you know that there is such a good place in Shendu?" Mu Yaoyao looked around curiously, thinking that Ji Ping'an knew about it.

Luo Huaizhu didn't look sideways, she was not interested in the things of these literati.

"The three guest officers, please."

Xiao Er came up to meet her, first she was amazed by the looks of the two girls, and then cast envious eyes at Ji Pingan.

"One each of the signature refreshments."

There were not many people in the teahouse, so Ji Pingan found an empty table and sat down.

When Xiao Er left, Mu Yaoyao finally couldn't help it, and said anxiously: "Everyone else is going to track down the murderer, why are we here?"

Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"What's the rush? Since the three-day time limit has been given, it means that the prison has made an assessment of the case and doesn't think we can solve it in a day or two. Instead of running around the city, it's better to rest and recuperate your mind and body first, or wait until you meet the murderer." Can't beat them all."

After a pause, he added:

"Also, are you confident that you can compete with them?"

Mu Yaoyao lowered her steamed bun face in frustration and didn't say a word, she understood what Ji Ping'an meant:
Compared with the elites from other colleges, the two of Muyuan were more like soy sauce, or in other words, in order to avoid the quota being divided, two people were forced in.

In fact, she was already mentally prepared for this, and she didn't expect to pass the selection and participate in the God's Capital Awards.

It's just that Luo Huaizhu's joining gave her an unrealistic fantasy.

But Ji Pingan's words brought her back to reality.

Although Luo Huaizhu is strong in battle, she doesn't look very smart, and she is too weak to help. Although Ji Ping'an has a good mind but not enough cultivation, it is right to make up all the shortcomings.

In such a situation, how does one compare with the geniuses of the Fourth Academy?
Instead of being busy until you get nothing at the end, it's better to make it bad as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Mu Yaoyao lost all thoughts of investigating the case, picked up the pastries on the table and ate them.

Luo Huaizhu closed his eyes, meditated, and didn't care about these things.

Ji Pingan smiled, thinking that it would be nice to have two fools with him, at least he would be able to fool around and not ask the bottom line.

But when the murderer will arrive, he still can't be sure.

Just sit like this?

When he drank the third cup of tea, he called Xiao Er to fetch pen and ink, and painted to pass the time.

……

……

On the first day, the murderer did not show up.

The three of Ji Pingan sat in the teahouse until sunset before returning to Qin Tianjian.

It is not surprising to learn that the rest of the teams have not made any progress, but with the release of the list of special training classes, there was an unexpected uproar in Qin Tianjian.

Just as Huang He was worried, when the unusual name Ji Ping'an appeared on the list, the nerve called "fairness" was provoked.

"Why? Why did Ji Pingan stuff it in? He is very talented, but he has only practiced for more than a month, and his cultivation level is inferior to ours. This is against the rules!"

In the dining hall, Si Chen, who had a fiery temper, was filled with indignation and slapped the table angrily.

"That's right. I also admit that he is very powerful, but the special training class is set up for the summer God's Capital Awards. With his cultivation base, it's really inappropriate to force him into it." Another Si Chen agreed.

"Heh, the rules? There's never been a statement in the prison who can enter, only the number of places in the branch is limited. It is said that Ji Ping'an has become the new first disciple of the Muyuan, and it's normal for Xu Jianhou to favor one or two." A star official of the Water Academy Yin and Yang strange.

It seems to speak for it, but in fact it has obvious intentions to provoke.

really.

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention the star officials who felt that their opportunities were taken away were unhappy, even the ordinary supervisors who had not stepped into the practice were also quite critical.

It is shameless for Xu Jianhou to rely on his power to benefit the Cypriots.

Shi Jilun in the crowd was hesitant to speak, he wanted to sell Ji Pingan's benefits, but he was also worried about attracting backlash from the public opinion, he was in a dilemma.

A Muyuan disciple couldn't hear it, got up and said angrily:

"The quota belongs to my Wooden Academy, we are willing to use it for senior brother, so what are you waiting for?"

The young man in brocade clothes who hadn't appeared for a long time said:

"Accordingly, we can't control it, but there is justice in everything. Ji Pingan has made contributions to you, and it is justified to get benefits, but how did he do it?

"I've heard that when the geniuses in all branches were investigating the case today, the two 'geniuses' from your Muyuan hid themselves and drank tea for a whole day. Their attitudes are simply blatant bastards."

When the words fell, the Muyuan disciple choked, his face flushed suddenly, and he couldn't refute.

"Say less!" Xue Hongjian, who was sitting by the side, frowned and pulled him behind him.

Young Master Jin Yi said unhappily: "Brother Xue, I didn't tell a lie, what are you doing to stop me. I think that Ji Ping'an's life was so smooth and his mind was in a good mood."

Xue Hongjian shook his head: "Ji Ping'an is definitely not a short-sighted person, maybe there are other secrets behind him."

Junior Sister Wang sighed: "Brother Xue, you always think of people too well. After all, he was born in the countryside and suddenly became a major disciple of the Muyuan. It is only natural for him to change his mentality."

Xue Hongjian was powerless to refute.

Soon, the news about the training content of the special training class and Muyuan's undisguised fishing behavior spread wildly to the entire Qintian prison with the three dining halls as the core.

To the effect:
The two people in Muyuan knew that their cultivation was superficial, so they pretended to be dead, they didn't even want to put on an appearance, they were blatantly fooling around.

It should be noted that members of the special training class will have resources to favor, even if they perform badly, they will only get less.

This makes people feel more and more unfair. Some people with strong personalities even openly criticize Xu Xiurong for favoritism and using the system to harm public interests.

Of course, there are fewer followers of such extreme remarks, and most of the firepower is still concentrated on Ji Pingan alone.

……

At the same time, the five supervisors were also in the meeting hall, receiving Pei Sili's report.

"The performance record of the fifth academy team today is as follows."

Pei Sili presented the paper full of words, supplemented by explanations.

According to the usual practice, each team will write their own manuscripts, send them to him in a centralized manner, and then hand them over to the prison marquis for review.

The five people scanned the progress of each team one by one, nodded slightly, and gave comments.

"That's right. Wang Xian deserves to be number two on the list, second only to Si Chen from Luohuaizhu. His thinking is clear and his divination is accurate. Although he hasn't found the murderer yet, he's making great progress."

"Lin Qin and the others found another way. This divination direction is quite interesting."

"Shi Hao... well, steady and steady, although a bit slow, it's not bad."

"Zhao Xinghuo and the others are still a bit reckless, but the star officials of the Fire Academy... are normal." When Bai Chuan commented, he didn't forget to say something about his old enemy.

Fang Liuhuo raised his eyebrows, glared at him fiercely, and cursed, feeling that his disciple was a bit disappointing, but there was nothing he could do.

Most of the star officers of the Fire Institute have inherited his recklessness, but there are few smart ones.

Agitated, Fang Liuhuo sensed something was wrong, flipped through the paper again, and asked doubtfully, "Where is the progress of the Muyuan? Why isn't it here?"

The rest of the people also looked puzzled, Pei Sili was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "No."

As if he was afraid that the prisoners would not understand, he explained:
"After the Muyuan team left the government office, they found a teahouse to sit for a day. Well... Huaizhu is practicing, Mu Yaoyao is eating and drinking, as for Ji Pingan... he is painting to relieve boredom."

?

A question mark slowly floated above the heads of the five chief supervisors, and their expressions changed immediately.

For the two people recommended by the Muyuan, the marquis knew it well, and they didn't think they could participate in the Shendu Grand Prize.

Well, Mu Yaoyao works hard, and if she is lucky, she still has a chance. As for Ji Ping'an... his cultivation is the biggest shortcoming, so don't think about it.

In short, the prison lords didn't have hope for it, but such a public display of bad reputation would be somewhat unsightly.

Fang Liuhuo smiled: "It's a wise move."

Bai Chuan glanced at him, thinking that you, a fire player, could learn from me and become eccentric.

On Li Guofeng's majestic face, his brows were slightly frowned, showing displeasure, and he said lightly: "That's it."

Only Xu Xiurong's eyes flickered, and he always felt that that guy was planning something again.

Her eyes were downcast, neither happy nor sad: "The deadline will be in three days, and this is only the first day."

……

It will be night.

A carriage slowly stopped outside the Duke's mansion, the curtain was raised, Xue Hongjian stepped down and let out a deep breath.

As the son of the Duke, he would return to the mansion to stay for one night every once in a while, which was not only a comfort to his homesickness, but also a necessity.

The contemporary Lu Guogong has many children, Xue Hongjian is not considered outstanding among them, and he also faces the struggle for power and profit among brothers and sisters.

Therefore, it is necessary to "swipe your face" in front of your parents from time to time to improve your sense of presence.

However, when he returned home today, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Outside the majestic Duke's Mansion, on both sides of the vermilion gate, there are two carriages parked on each side, one of which is particularly noble and luxurious, surrounded by armored imperial guards.

Seeing him approaching, they all looked at him vigilantly and put their hands on the handle of the knife, as if he would draw the knife and kill him if he did anything wrong.

"Young master, you are back." Suddenly, a servant in the mansion walked out quickly, and the imperial guards restrained their killing intent just now.

Xue Hongjian's expression froze: "Which noble person from the palace is here?"

While leading him into the courtyard, the old servant exhorted in a low voice:
"His Majesty the Divine Emperor is here today to be a guest at the residence. Mr. Gao from Mo Lin is also here, and the Duke of the State is accompanying him in the hall."

His Majesty is coming?

Xue Hongjian was slightly startled, but it is not uncommon for the emperor to go out of the palace occasionally to have family affairs with the princes. He quickly restrained his emotions, his eyes flickered, hesitating whether to go to see him or not.

While hesitating, a servant girl rushed over and said, "Young master, the Duke heard that you were back, and asked you to go there, saying that His Majesty wants to see you."

……

ps: Thanks to the big boss for the reward!The boss will pick up money when he goes out, and he will win the lottery when he scratches the bottle cap!
