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

Chapter 732 Not interested, goodbye

After Prince Chan had walked some distance away, Liu Ji straightened up, caught up with the main force, and returned to the villa.

In his heart, he cursed Sikong Jian. If he hadn't assigned this task to him, would he have offended King Chan?

Although the King of Chan had been smiling just now, Liu Ji was very good at observing people's expressions. He didn't even need to look. Just by listening to the changes in the King of Chan's breathing rhythm a few times, he knew that he had offended him with his words "Teacher, it's inconvenient for you to go out."

Yes, a little scholar from the countryside actually dared to interrupt the words of a prince. He was really courting death.

Of course, a Chan King couldn't possibly take his life. He was the apple of my wife's eye, who dared to touch him?

But Liu Ji was still a little depressed.

He looked down at the bulging purse, which was filled with the silver pumpkins he had bought from the silver shop. Each pumpkin was the size of a thumb, and each was worth five taels of silver. He grabbed a handful, six in total.

Thirty taels of silver! My depressed mood suddenly became cheerful.

So what if King Chan was offended? He was sent by Sikong Jian, so Sikong Jian should be held responsible for this.

Thinking of this, Liu Ji was in a good mood. He put down all the gift boxes, and formally took his leave from King Chan under the banner of the Imperial Master.

Without even waiting for King Chan's consent, he turned around and walked out of the villa with joyful steps.

Anyway, it was Si Kong Jian who asked him to come, so it’s not excessive for him to use his name, right?

It is normal for the younger brother of a country's national master to act a little arrogantly!
Liu Ji had to go back to Puyuan every afternoon, so the coachman from the Imperial Master's Mansion would wait at the gate of the villa early.

Liu Ji came out of the courtyard with a swagger, and immediately saw the driver. He waved to him happily and said, "Hi!"

He got into the carriage and sat down, and then ordered: "Return to the Imperial Master's Mansion."

The driver responded while urging the carriage to leave, but when he passed the group of northern barbarian guards at the gate of the villa, he always felt that their eyes were a little unfriendly.

"Mr. Liu, what have you done?" the driver asked curiously.

Liu Ji shrugged innocently, "I didn't do anything."

Did nothing?

The Northern Barbarian guards all frowned. One of them quickly ran into the courtyard and found King Chan in the hall. He stood in front of King Chan without caring that Lu Xiaofeng and the other three were still there, and said angrily:
"Your Highness, Liu Ji was so rude to you. He must have been instructed by the Imperial Master. The people of Sheng are looking down on us by treating us like this!"

According to the rules of their grassland, guests should be treated like their own family.

If the host is disrespectful to the guest, the guest has the right to ask for the host's cattle or sheep as compensation and the two sides can reconcile again.

But if the host is unwilling to apologize, the offended guest can kill him!
"Your Majesty!" The guard suddenly knelt down, crossed his chest and asked solemnly: "Please allow me to kill the Sheng countryman who was rude to the guests!"

Although Lu Xiaofeng and the other three reception envoys could not fully understand what the dark and strong guard said, they heard the words "kill the Sheng people" clearly, and were immediately shocked.

"No, no." Lu Xiaofeng looked at the guard in shock and asked anxiously, "You said you wanted to kill the people of Sheng? Who among us has offended you? Why do you want to kill people for no reason?"

The dark and strong guard turned around suddenly, and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and the other two with fierce eyes. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the gate, "Your people are disrespectful to our prince, I will kill him!"

Lu Xiaofeng and the other two immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Liu Ji was the one being killed. Then they felt relieved.

The three of them all bowed to King Chan and retreated. King Chan didn't look very happy, but he was magnanimous and didn't vent his anger on them. He nodded and let them go.

As for the guard who threatened to kill Liu Ji, he did not follow out.

Liu Ji was sent by the Imperial Master's Office, but for such a trivial matter as leaving without waiting for their prince's response, according to the rules of Sheng Kingdom, he could just be reprimanded with a few words.

The spy from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion got one step ahead of Liu Ji and reported back to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion that the Northern Barbarian guards wanted to kill him.

Sun Jiang didn't need to look up to know that his own Imperial Master's face must have turned dark.

As soon as Liu Ji got off the carriage, as expected, he was taken to Sikong Mian by Sun Jiang.

"Sir, I've brought the person to you." After Sun Jiang reported, he stepped out and closed the door.

Suddenly, only Si Kongjian with a gloomy face and Liu Ji with a puzzled look were left in the dim room. "What are you doing? The teacher is waiting for me to cook for him. If you leave him hungry, he will scold you to death!" Liu Ji shouted in a bluffing manner.

Si Kong Jian clenched his back teeth, took a deep breath, and silently recited a calming mantra, finally suppressing his murderous intent.

He sat upright in the main seat, tapping the armrests with his fingertips rhythmically. He stared at Liu Ji for a long time, making him want to run away, and then he spoke:

"You did a great job, but don't do it again next time."

Liu Ji, who had already prepared a lot of threatening words, shuddered all over and got goose bumps when he heard this compliment.

He rubbed his face and arms vigorously to get rid of the goose bumps that appeared, and asked in shock: "What did you say?"

Si Kong Jian actually praised him?

Liu Ji: "Are you okay?"

Si Kong Jian glared at him angrily and said seriously, "Hu Yanhan has hinted at cooperation with me more than once. This man is really ridiculous. How could I, the Grand Master of Sheng State, cooperate with the Regent of the Northern Barbarians?"

"It's good that you are like this today, saving me the trouble of explaining."

"But this is enough for today. Don't do it again next time. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You want to sow discord between me and King Chan, but you are still a little bit behind."

Liu Ji blinked his eyes, as if he had just heard an incredible secret.

Also, is Sikong Jian afraid that someone will misunderstand that he is close to Prince Chan?
Who did he save the trouble of explaining to?
Liu Ji's mind was full of question marks, but he didn't want to know the answers at all, so he just raised his hand and signaled Si Kong Jian to stop.

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

Si Kong Jian was choked. This country bumpkin Liu Ji always made him angry easily!
Liu Ji looked at Si Kong Jian warily, thinking that he was going to call on Sun Jiang to kill him again.

Unexpectedly, he didn't get angry.

Liu Ji reasonably suspected that he might have been possessed by someone.

Si Kong Jian took a breath and continued, "The teacher likes you, so you must not be as stupid as a pig. Hu Yanhan is an illiterate northern barbarian. He is asking about the teacher intentionally or unintentionally. Don't you think he has other purposes?"

Liu Ji nodded, "I think so, that's why I said the teacher was ill again last night."

"Then it seems that you are not so stupid. Right now, many people want to kill the teacher, you know?"

Liu Ji said calmly: "It's you, isn't it?"

Sikong felt a lump in his throat and wanted to shout to Sun Jiang to kill him.

But he still held back and continued, "Someone wants to use the Northern Barbarians to get rid of the teacher. You are right not to let the Northern Barbarians contact the teacher."

Liu Jixin said, I have long seen that these northern barbarians are not good people, so I don’t need you to tell me.

Si Kong Jian looked at Liu Ji's lively expression and reminded him through gritted teeth: "Perhaps you don't have to take off your disguise in front of me."

He didn't want to read his rich expression at all!

Liu Ji immediately frowned, "Then can I leave?"

Si Kong Jian raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you ask why I'm telling you this?"

Liu Ji raised his hands and clasped his fists, "No questions, not interested, goodbye!"

Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.

She quickly prepared dinner for the teacher, took off her apron, and immediately asked the coachman to take her home.

The amount of information he took in today was too great and he didn't know what to do with his brain anymore.

Now he wanted to see his wife immediately, tell her the news and divert her worries.
