After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 720: Unwavering Love
At Chou time, the people of Kyoto were still sleeping soundly.

Representatives of the literary students of Sheng State, who are about to leave the city to welcome the envoys from the Northern Barbarians, have gathered at Beiding Gate.

There was still half a quarter of an hour before the official drill, and each team was counting whether their members were present.

To facilitate the rehearsal, more than 20 braziers were lit in the small square under Beiding Gate, illuminating the space as bright as day, so that every move of the delegation members could be seen clearly.

Si Kong Jian stood on the inner city wall, watching every move in the square below. When he saw the purple team, his eyes stopped and his sharp gaze swept across those ordinary faces.

Eighteen, nineteen. There is still one person missing.

"Where is Liu Ji?" Sikong Jian asked the person next to him.

Sun Jiang leaned forward and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a purple figure riding a horse coming from the west. He pointed happily:
"There it is!"

Sikong Jian looked in the direction Sun Jiang pointed, and saw a man in purple clothes and a jade crown, riding a red horse, breaking through the heavy black fog and running towards the crowd. When he reached the light, he pulled the reins and swiftly dismounted.

The purple robe made him look dignified and tall. Even though he was surrounded by people wearing the same clothes, he still stood out from the others, like a crane among chickens.

How can a man be so good-looking! Sun Jiang was secretly shocked in his heart.

He was just about to see who had a more outstanding appearance between his own Imperial Master and that man, when he turned around, he found that the person next to him had disappeared.

As soon as Liu Ji appeared, Sikong Jian went down from the city wall. He walked quickly, and the black robe of an envoy fluttered in the night wind.

When Liu Ji turned around, he saw a darkness even darker than the night before, and his heart skipped a beat.

But when he looked down at the silver ring on his right hand, he calmed down instantly and said:

"There is still a cup of tea before Chou time. I am not late."

After saying this, he saluted him and quickly ran towards the team of literary students and stood in an empty seat, looking serious as if he was ready to practice at any time.

The question had already slipped to his throat, but he didn't have the chance to say it. Si Kongjian choked hard and almost suffocated himself to death.

On the city wall, the official from the Ministry of Rites in charge of the drill confirmed that everyone was present, immediately raised the ceremonial flag used for command, and began the drill.

In fact, there was nothing fancy. He just explained the process, took everyone through it again, and reminded everyone what they should pay attention to, trying not to violate the various taboos of the northern barbarians, to ensure that the meeting between the two countries went smoothly.

During the drill, Liu Ji was shocked to find that the literary representatives in his team looked so strange. At first glance, there was not a single one with regular facial features.

In such a comparison, his already superior appearance was simply stunning. It was hard not to attract attention, unless one was blind.

If it were any other time, Liu Ji would have been secretly delighted, after all, who wouldn't be happy to be number one?

But he couldn't laugh at all now.

What does the emergence of these bizarre literary students indicate?
This shows that his guess was correct. Sikong Jian, this bastard, just wanted the Northern Barbarian Princess to take a liking to him at first sight and send him to the Northern Barbarians.

He thought yesterday that they were from the same school and the elder brother wanted to help the younger brother.

When he thought about how he had let go of his prejudice against Si Kong Jian yesterday and even felt a little touched, and then looked at the eccentric literary representatives around him at this moment, Liu Ji wanted to slap himself hard in the face.

Hey?
and many more!

There is also one who looks like a human being!

"Brother?!" Lu Xiaofeng shouted uncertainly.

Liu Ji opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Little brother!"

The two sworn brothers didn't expect to meet each other here, and they were so excited that they almost forgot they were still rehearsing. Liu Ji didn't forget that there was a pair of gloomy eyes staring at him from behind, so he quickly winked at Lu Xiaofeng and said he would talk later.

When the Ministry of Rites gave everyone a break, the two could no longer contain their joy, and walked through the crowd, hugging each other tightly.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Brother, why are you here too?"

Liu Ji: "Little brother, why are you here too?"

The two looked at each other and laughed. There was no need to know the answer, as long as they were happy.

Other students in the literary world all knew Lu Xiaofeng. When they saw him hugging someone and calling him "Big Brother", they curiously came forward and asked who Liu Ji was.

Lu Xiaofeng put her arm around Liu Ji's shoulders and was about to introduce him, but she got stuck.

He didn't know, he only knew that his eldest brother was called Liu Ji and came from the northwest.

However, those who were able to join in welcoming the delegation this time all had family backgrounds, and it was impossible for common people to participate.

so.
"Brother, who are you?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Liu Ji and asked curiously.

Liu Ji coughed twice, "It seems that I can no longer hide my true identity."

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Liu Ji solemnly clasped his fists and saluted everyone, saying humbly:

"My name is Liu Ji, and I am a student of the great scholar Gong Liangliao. This is our first meeting, so if I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

I didn't expect that the handsome man in front of me was actually the disciple of the great Confucian scholar Gong Liangliao.

In this case, wouldn’t the National Master be Liu Ji’s fellow senior brother?

There is also the child prodigy Qi Xianguan in the prime minister's mansion. Between him and Liu Ji, who is the senior brother and who is the junior brother?

Everyone was curious and asked. Liu Ji smiled and replied, "I joined after Senior Brother Yu Qi, and I'm the last one."

At this moment, someone nearby suddenly pointed at Liu Ji and said in surprise, "Aren't you the one who went to the Imperial Master's Mansion to apply for a servant?"

Liu Ji smiled faintly, turned around and clasped his fists towards him, "Taking care of the teacher is the student's duty."

Seeing that he admitted it so openly, everyone stopped questioning it.

The Imperial Master is watching from the city wall. No one should be bold enough to tell such a lie in front of the master.

Looking at Liu Ji again, his words and deeds were free and unrestrained, and his appearance was even more outstanding. Although he was born in a commoner family, he was neither humble nor arrogant in front of these children from aristocratic families, and there was no flattery. He really looked like what a disciple of Mr. Gongliang should be like.

The happiest person was Lu Xiaofeng, who didn't expect that just by casually becoming sworn brothers in a teahouse, she could actually become a disciple of a great Confucian scholar. What luck!
"Xiaofeng, look at my hand." Liu Ji suddenly raised his right hand and waved his ring finger in front of Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, unable to hide his smug look on his face, "Do you know what this is?"

Although Lu Xiaofeng thought her brother's behavior was inexplicable, she still cooperated and asked curiously, "A silver ring? What kind of accessory is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

"This is called a ring." Liu Ji looked at the silver loach-back open ring tenderly. It seemed that he was looking at the ring, but in fact he was looking at the person through the ring.

"My wife made these two rings overnight. They are a symbol of faithful love on the other side of the ocean."

Liu Ji repeated the lies Qin Yao taught him to make up word for word in a deeply affectionate tone.

The mysterious country, the silver ring, the loyal love, made Lu Xiaofeng, an unmarried young man full of vigor, blush and feel longing.
