Chapter 732 Not interested, leave
When King Chan had gone some distance, Liu Ji straightened up and followed the large army back to the other courtyard.
In his heart, the villain yelled at Sikong Jian. If he hadn't assigned him this job, would he have offended King Chan?
Although the smile on King Chan's face had not changed just now, Liu Ji was the best at observing words and expressions without even looking at them. He only heard that the rhythm of King Chan's breathing changed a few times just now, and he knew that he had offended someone by saying "it's not convenient for the teacher to go out". .
Similarly, a small boy from a rural background dared to interrupt the words of a noble prince. It was really life-threatening.
Of course, it is impossible for a king to kill him. He is my wife's favorite, who dares to touch him?
But Liu Ji was still a little depressed.
Looking down at the bulging money bag, he saw that it was full of silver pumpkins that he had taken in the Silver Building. The small pumpkins were made into thumb-sized pieces, each worth five taels of silver. He grabbed a handful, six in total.
Thirty taels of silver! The depressed mood instantly became cheerful.
It's okay if King Chan offends him. He is the person sent by Sikong Jian, so the blame should be placed on Sikong Jian's head.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji was in a good mood. He put down all the gift boxes and resigned to King Chan in a dignified manner under the banner of the Imperial Guard.
Without waiting for King Chan's consent, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard with excited steps.
Since Sikong Jian asked him to come, it's not too much for him to use his name, right?
It is normal for a junior fellow student of a country's national master to act arrogantly!
Liu Ji had to go back to Puyuan every afternoon, so the coachman from the Imperial Prefecture was waiting at the gate of the other courtyard early.
Liu Ji swaggered out of the courtyard and saw the coachman brother at a glance. He waved to him happily and said, "Hi!"
Getting into the carriage and sitting down, he ordered: "Go back to the Imperial Prefect's residence."
The coachman responded and urged the carriage to leave. However, when he passed the group of Northern barbarian guards at the gate of the other courtyard, he always felt that their eyes were a little unkind.
“Mr. Liu, what have you done?” the coachman asked curiously.
Liu Ji innocently shrugged, "I didn't do anything."
Did nothing?
The guards of the Northern Barbarians all frowned. One of them quickly ran into the courtyard and found King Chan who was in the hall. Regardless of Lu Xiaofeng and the other three people who were still present, he stood in front of King Chan and said angrily:
“Your Majesty, Liu Ji must have been instructed by the Imperial Preceptor to treat you so rudely. The people of Sheng State look down upon us by treating guests like this!”
According to the rules on their grasslands, guests should be treated like their own family members.
If the host is disrespectful to the guest, the guest has the right to ask for the host's cattle and sheep as an apology, and the two parties can reconcile.
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 seriously: "Please allow me to go and kill the Shengguo man who is rude to the guests!"
Lu Xiaofeng and the other three receptionists could not fully understand what the black and strong guard said, but they could clearly hear the words "kill Sheng Guoren", and their faces were suddenly horrified.
"No, no." Lu Xiaofeng looked at the guard in shock and asked urgently: "You said you want to kill people from Shengguo? If any of us provoke you, we will kill the good ones!"
The strong black guard turned back sharply, glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and the other three with fierce eyes, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the door, "Your people disrespect our prince, I will kill him!"
Lu Xiaofeng and the other two people immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they wanted to kill Liu Ji, so they were relieved.
The three of them all bowed to King Chan. King Chan didn't look very good, but he didn't show off his anger. He nodded and let them go.
As for the guard who threatened to kill Liu Ji, he did not follow him.
Liu Ji was sent by the Imperial Prefect's Office. It was just a small matter like leaving without waiting for their prince's response. According to the rules of the Sheng Kingdom, it was just a few words of instruction.
The spies from the Imperial Prefect's Office were one step ahead of Liu Ji and sent word back to the Imperial Prefect's Office that the Northern Barbarian guards wanted to kill him.
Sun Jiang didn't need to raise his eyes to know that his master's face must have darkened.
Liu Jigang got off the carriage and, as expected, was escorted to Sikong Jian by Sun Jiang.
"Sir, I've brought it here for you." After Sun Jiang finished reporting, he left and closed the door.
Suddenly, only the gloomy Sikong Jian and Liu Ji, who looked incomprehensible, were left in the dim room. "What are you doing? The teacher is still waiting for me to cook for him. Be careful if the teacher is hungry and he will scold you to death!" Liu Ji yelled bluffingly.
Sikong clenched his molars after seeing this, took a deep breath, and recited the Calming Mantra silently, and then suppressed his murderous intention.
He sat on the main seat, tapping the armrest with his fingertips rhythmically. He stared at Liu Ji secretly for a long time, making him want to run away, and then he said:
“You did a good job, but don't do it again next time.”
Liu Ji, who was already ready with threatening words, trembled all over when he heard this compliment, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.
He rubbed his face and arms vigorously, brushing away the goose bumps that had appeared, and asked in shock, "What did you say?"
Sikong Jian actually praised him?
Liu Ji: "Are you okay?"
Sikong 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 can I, a majestic national master of Shengguo, cooperate with the regent of the Northern Barbarians?"
“It's good for you to be like this today, it saves me the trouble of explaining.”
"But this is enough for today. Don't do it again next time. Don't think that I don't know what you are hiding. You want to drive a wedge between me and King Chan. You are still not ready."
Liu Ji blinked. He seemed to have heard a terrible secret just now.
Also, Sikong Jian was afraid that someone might misunderstand that he was close to King Chan?
Who did he save the effort to explain to?
Liu Ji's mind was filled with questions, but he didn't want to know the answer at all. He directly raised his hand to signal Sikong Jian to stop.
“Stop talking, I don't want to hear it.”
Sikong Jian choked, Liu Ji, a country man, could always easily make him angry!
Liu Ji looked at Sikong Jian warily, thinking that he was going to ask Sun Jiang to kill him again.
Unexpectedly, he didn't get angry.
Liu Ji had reasonable suspicion that he might have been snatched away.
Sikong Jian breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "If the teacher can like you, you must not be as stupid as a pig. Hu Yanhan is an illiterate northern barbarian. If he intentionally or unintentionally inquires about the teacher, don't you think he has something else?" Purpose?"
Liu Ji nodded, "I think so, so I said that the teacher was ill again last night."
“It seems you are not too stupid. There are many people who want to kill the teacher, you know?”
Liu Ji looked calm: "Isn't it you?"
Sikong felt a lump in his throat and wanted to shout to Sun Jiang to kill him.
But he still endured it and continued: "Someone wants to use the hands of the northern barbarians to get rid of the teacher. You are right to prevent the northern barbarians from contacting the teacher."
Liu Jixin said that I have long seen that these northern barbarians do not look like good people, and you still need to tell me.
Sikong Jian looked at Liu Ji's lively expression and gritted his teeth and reminded, "Maybe you don't need to take off your disguise in front of me."
He has no intention of reading his informative expression!
Liu Ji immediately made a serious face, "Then can I leave?"
Sikong Jian raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you ask me why I'm telling you this?"
Liu Ji raised his hands and clasped his fists, "No questions, not interested, leave!"
Without a trace of sloppiness, he turned around and left.
He quickly made the teacher's dinner, took off his apron, and immediately called the driver to take him home.
●The amount of information input today was too large, and he no longer knew how to process his mind.
Now he wants to see his wife immediately and tell her the news to divert his worries.
