Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

The night wind howled around Kyoto.

The princess' sedan chair slowly moved forward in the darkness, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving beside her were all trembling with fear. They had served their master for a long time, so they could naturally tell the princess's anger that she tried hard to hide.

In such an atmosphere, the sedan chair slowly entered the palace.

In front of the Guangxin Palace, the eldest princess got off the sedan chair with a gloomy look on her face. The servants beside her all lowered their heads, not daring to look at her directly.

Only the female official took two steps forward, held her hand, walked up the stairs and entered the palace.

"Your Highness, do you want to?" The female official also looked unhappy and asked.

Li Yunrui was sitting beside the table with elegant manners, and began to mix incense with extremely graceful movements. On the table were various materials about Fan Xian and Li An.

Li Yunrui's cold voice came, and he ordered: "Go and call Xiao Yi over."

"Yes." The female officer responded.

After a while, the female official came in from outside, and she was accompanied by the number one sharpshooter, Yan Xiaoyi.

"Xiao Yi greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!" After Yan Xiao Yi entered the room, he knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

Only then could he see clearly the appearance of the commander of the imperial guards.

He was tall and strong, with a resolute face. He didn't look bulky in his armor, but rather very agile. He was about forty years old, with dark skin, but it was not difficult to see that he was also a very handsome man when he was young.

"Xiao Yi, you are the person I rely on the most and the only person I trust. Why do you have to talk to me like this?" Li Yunrui tilted his head slightly, his voice clear and pleasant, revealing his jaw and neck with graceful curves, which was dazzling under the light.

"Gifts should not be wasted." Yan Xiaoyi said in a deep voice, but as if he was afraid of offending the person in front of him, he explained: "Besides, I come from a humble background. If it weren't for Your Highness' promotion, how could I be where I am today?"

The sunlight from outside the Guangxin Palace gate shone through, shining on Yan Xiaoyi's face, making it look even rounder.

Li Yunrui blinked his eyes lightly, and stopped correcting him. He chuckled and said, "Then let me ask you, what do you think of Li An?"

"I can't see clearly!" Yan Xiaoyi pondered for a moment, "I can't see his martial arts clearly. People say he is better than Si Gu Jian, but when I shot an arrow in Niulan Street that day, the result was not as the rumor said. As for the rest, I don't care."

Li Yunrui smiled widely, looking at the person in front of her, this was the help she could use, she was slightly proud, and asked: "Then tell me, if you want to use the bow and arrow behind you to shoot into Li An's chest, what do you need to do?"

"This..." Yan Xiaoyi hesitated, and after thinking for a moment, he responded: "If Li An is really at the Grandmaster level, then I can only wait for me to reach that level as well. Or, there is an opportunity!"

"What opportunity?" Li Yunrui asked with interest, fiddling with the spices on the table with one hand.

Yan Xiaoyi straightened up and spoke confidently:

"An opportunity he can't avoid!"

Chapter 65 The first meeting between the two deans.

It's a day off today, and Li An is counting banknotes in the yard.

With the rewards from Li Hongcheng and Lin Ruofu, plus the silver notes sent by the princess, Li An's wealth once again exceeded 1.1 million taels.

It was said that a distinguished guest was coming, but it was not the one I was waiting for.

Li An let out a sigh of relief, took out his mobile phone from the system, and then started to look up various information.

These little brats in the yard are becoming more and more difficult to fool recently, and I have to recharge myself from time to time, otherwise sometimes their problems are difficult to deal with.

While Li An was studying, he heard Zhao Tong'er calling him from outside the house. After Li An asked what was the matter, Zhao Tong'er said that someone from the prime minister's residence invited her to visit their house.

After pondering it for a while, Li An finally refused. He asked Tong'er to reject the other party and said that he was studying and should not go out.

It seems that Lin Ruofu still has doubts about Fan Xian.

Come to think of it, after Lin Ruofu entered the palace and got the results that Chen Pingping said, it was normal for him not to believe it.

Things have been moving so fast lately, as if everything happened in just a few days.

Li An chuckled and thought, Fan Xian might be worried but not realize that he has been arranged by the bosses from all sides and is walking on a golden road.

Kyoto is still prosperous, with constant hawking in the streets and bright lights at night.

At this juncture, two important pieces of news came from the court: Fan Xian's wedding date and the war against Qi!

Fan Xian's wedding date was temporarily set for October. Few people knew about Wu Zhu's affairs. Even the people in the Supervisory Council hadn't found out more, let alone Lin Ruofu? At this point, Lin Ruofu finally let go of his suspicion of Fan Xian. After all, few people knew that there was a great master named Wu Zhu in the world. Naturally, no one knew the connection between this and Fan Xian.

The Prime Minister finally gave in and agreed to the time of the marriage. Not only that, he also vigorously paved the way for Fan Xian. Suddenly, the wind direction in the court suddenly changed.

The proposal of a national war also caused an uproar in the court. There were pro-war factions in the court, and compared to these fanatics, there were naturally some opponents who believed that it was not a good time to start a war, or at least the reasons for starting a war were not sufficient.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the time is ripe, and these opponents just have other ideas.

At this point, all the forces in the court entered the battle, and after sacrificing the lives of some people who had no foresight, some positions in the court were reshuffled, and a new balance was slowly established. The belief in going to war was implemented.

Time has slowly come to summer. After the busy spring farming season, the huge state machinery of Qing State finally started up and sent troops to Northern Qi!

This period of time was the most peaceful time that Ang Lee spent in Kyoto.

Li An taught in Luming Academy, and he also passively came into contact with many dignitaries in the court, and understood the power structure of Qing Kingdom. Apart from occasional exchanges with Fan Ruoruo, Lin Wan'er, Fan Xian, and Lin Ruofu in the academy, he only taught students.

As for the Ye family where Ye Ling'er belonged, he had no contact with them at all, as if the Ye family had no interest in him at all.

During this period, the achievements of the professors' students were also very remarkable.

Li An gradually went to the academy less and less often, and had made the perfect transition from a teacher to a principal. The reason was that his four major disciples had all graduated, at least in terms of the knowledge they were imparting, and now they were helping their teachers with their lessons in addition to their studies.

Among his true disciples, Hong Kaijia has reached the seventh level, and the brothers Xu Sheng and Xu Qiang have reached the sixth level. As for the youngest, Zhao Tong'er, she is only at the fourth level, and gradually lost in the crowd. However, her divination skills have already reached a certain level. According to Li An's estimation, she should be at the level of LV6.

There is no other way. Except for some important people who Li An came in person, all the others who came to ask for divination were handled by Zhao Tong'er. There are too many people practicing, so it is hard for the art of divination not to grow.

And what has our Ang Lee been doing during this time?

He was making all kinds of farm tools, manufacturing water wheels, smelting steel, and "inventing" all kinds of tools. His agricultural and Mohist theories were widely recognized by the world, so it is conceivable how popular Luming Academy is now. The powerful people missed the first wave of joining, and then they racked their brains to arrange for their children to enroll.

These people learned a lot about the strange things Ang Lee said sometimes from the feedback of others. After thinking about them carefully, they were shocked. Knowing the value of these things, they all told their children to study hard. These are the knowledge that can be passed down from generation to generation.

As for Li Ang, he naturally accepted everyone who came, but at the same time, he also maintained the number of children from poor families in the academy to achieve a balanced ratio.

When the sun set that day, when Li An led his disciples back to Wanshizhai from the fields, he saw many black cavalry stationed at the gate of the courtyard.

Is Chen Pingping here?

"Shisanlang, it seems our good days are coming to an end!" Li An joked.

Wang Shisanlang said indifferently: "Of course not. It's so nice to practice sword every day, but these troubles will still come to you."

Li An shook his head: "From now on, you can't do this anymore. The lessons of teaching swordsmanship to my disciples will also be stopped. You will stay with me from now on."

"Okay." Shisan Wang also took the opportunity to make a request, saying, "But you have to promise me that I can challenge you anytime in the future."

Li An agreed to his request. Upon seeing this, Shisan Wang tightened the sword in his hand, preparing to meet with the Supervisory Council of Qing Kingdom.

When everyone entered the courtyard, they saw two people in the reception room - Chen Pingping and his shadow.

"Oh, the president of the Supervisory Council is here. Why didn't anyone notify me? President Chen must have been waiting anxiously."

Li An and Wang Shisanlang walked into the hall and asked the other disciples to go downstairs to do their homework. Li An poured two cups of tea for himself, handed one cup to Wang Shisanlang, and the two sat down and started drinking.

Li An's eyelids moved and he looked around a few times, but there was nothing unusual.

"I don't dare to be Mr. Li's. I am here uninvited." Chen Pingping said with a smile, ignoring the sarcasm in Li An's words. "Besides, Mr. Li is a master and the dean of Luming Academy. We are both deans."

"These two countries are at war, and Dean Chen still has time to hang out with me?" Li An asked curiously.

Chen Pingping straightened his face, turned his wheelchair, and said, "It is precisely because the two countries have gone to war that I have come to this Wanshizhai."

"What are you doing here? Staring at me? Or do you, the king of darkness, have a request as well?"

"What did you say to Fan Xian?" Chen Pingping's eyes became sharp, and he didn't beat around the bush. In recent days, he clearly felt that Fan Xian had undergone some unknown changes. "Also, who are you? Where are you from? You should be able to understand what I mean?"

"I don't like your attitude." Li An narrowed his eyes and said teasingly, "I didn't say anything weird to Fan Xian. Maybe he has discovered something recently."

Li An laughed, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "By the way, don't point your wheelchair at me!!"

bass!

Wang Shisanlang behind him and the shadow in front of him moved at the same time! That was the sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed!

The two voices were surprisingly consistent, so they overlapped into one voice.

Thanks to the book friend with the last digit 6643 for the generous tip and support!

Thank you for the crazy monthly ticket support!

Chapter 66: Find the right target.

The two people in the wheelchair and the chair did not move, and even their expressions did not change. Only the sound of Li Ang drinking tea could be heard.

"You two are the only ones here, and you dare to come to my courtyard and fight? You should let those black guys outside come in as well."

Chen Pingping also shook his head. "Things haven't come to that point yet. If we let them in, the situation will be completely different. Although Mr. Li is a great master, the Qing Kingdom is huge, but there will be no place for him to stay at that time."

"Continue to answer your question." Li An sneered, as if the disabled person in front of him was very interesting. "I am who I am. My name is Li An, and I am a fortune teller. I come from the temple. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Very satisfied, sir, that has answered my three questions." Chen Pingping was very straightforward, and then said: "Sir, you love money, I have heard that, but I have never seen you spend money, so where did the money go? Is it the power behind you?"

Li An remained silent, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"It seems that you don't want to answer this question, don't you care about the lives of all the students in your academy?"

At this time, Li An's expression changed slightly, and he responded: "You can try. I'm afraid it's difficult to do what you said!"

"Sir, you are truly not an ordinary person. It is hard to imagine that you can reach the Grandmaster level at such a young age! I am afraid that someone from that mysterious place can do it."

Chen Pingping also smiled: "So, what is your purpose?"

"I'm not in the mood to answer any of your questions right now. Do you really think that this rubbish you're sitting on can pose a threat to me?"

As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, the winner was decided between Shadow and Wang Shisanlang.

Wang Shisanlang injured his left hand, and the shadow did not move, but silently retreated behind Chen Pingping.

"I lost. But he didn't feel good either." Wang Shisanlang said stubbornly. He was very unwilling to accept this.

Li An shook his head: "You just haven't practiced for a long time."

"Shadow took action and was able to fight for such a long time. This Shisan Wang does not match the intelligence from the Overwatch Council."

Chen Pingping said calmly, waving his hand, and a black-armored knight came in with a few boxes. "Now, sir, can you tell me the purpose of your visit to Qing Kingdom?"

"You like to hear it so much, right?" Li An was furious. Chen Pingping sent the Black Cavalry to surround his courtyard silently, and even threatened the lives of all the disciples in the courtyard to force him to answer, which made Li An very annoyed.

"Chen Pingping entered the palace as a eunuch when he was young, and was later sent to the Cheng Palace as a spy to monitor the then Emperor Qing and the Cheng Prince."

"How dare you!" Shadow could no longer bear it when he heard the word "eunuch" and drew out his sword to stab Li An.

Before Wang Shisanlang could react, Li An flew up and said, "You are the one who is so presumptuous!"

"Howl of the Divine Wind"!

A terrifying storm formed with Li Ang as the center, and a kick was thrown out like an explosion, leaving people no time to react.

By the time this dramatic change was over, the shadow had already flown out, slid several meters on the ground, and lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Even the nameless sword had fallen apart.

At this moment, Chen Pingping's face was gloomy, and he stared at Li An as if he was going to eat someone, but he did not deny anything.

"If you like to hear it, I'll tell you!" Li An brushed his robe and continued, "During the surveillance, I became friends with the Prince of Cheng, the current Emperor Qing, and later became his confidant and worked for him."

"Very few people in the world know about your physical disability. Afterwards, you went to Danzhou and met Fan Xian's mother. She was a peculiar person. She understood you but did not discriminate against you. Instead, she treated you as a friend."

Looking at the broken teacup on the ground, Li An secretly said it was a pity: "Look at what you are doing now, you have already gone off track. Don't use excuses like you are doing it for Qing Kingdom or Emperor Qing. You are doing it for Ye Qingmei, right? This question is also worth a thousand taels of gold. So can you tell me your purpose?"

"Yes, that time is really memorable!" Chen Pingping sat upright in the wheelchair, adjusted his sleeves, waved away the black riders who had rushed in after hearing the noise, and said slowly: "Mr. Li, can you tell me the truth about all this? Who killed Ye Qingmei?"

After a pause, Chen Pingping added: "This is not a threat, but a sincere request."

"This is really rare. Even the head of the Supervisory Council has to ask for help?" Li An habitually sneered. This was the routine of these superiors who slapped him in the face and then gave him a sweet treat. Now he just returned the favor to them.

"It's really interesting. Si Gu Jian also asked me the same question. It seems that you have a common enemy?"

Li An said with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Pingping's face changed drastically.

"Is it really so?" Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, bowed to Li An. He already understood the meaning of Li An's words.

In fact, how could he not guess the truth of the matter when he was so smart? Now, he just confirmed it through Li Ang's mouth.

"I believe you know what I will do, please keep it a secret for me."

It's no wonder he said this. He still has a lot of things to do with the Overwatch Council, but at this moment he doesn't want to reveal his true thoughts in front of the royal family.

Unlike the fight between the two princes, the Supervisory Council is a completely deformed existence. This all-powerful power depends entirely on Emperor Qing's trust in Chen Pingping, which is earned through Chen Pingping's loyalty over the years. If Emperor Qing becomes suspicious, then this support will no longer be able to help Chen Pingping.

"You can keep it a secret, but you have to pay more. And since you just attacked me, you have to pay double the amount!"
