People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 863: The Old Man Who Can’t Afford to Play 2

"Mr. Qi Yan doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding, so how can you say you've been discovered?"

Liang Xun couldn't help but complain, but he regained his composure in an instant: "Given the current situation, can I ask you to help me out?"

"Why should I save?"

Seeing that he failed to bring the two together, Qi Yan became disinterested.

After hearing his answer, Liang Xun and Ning Ci Qiu's faces looked a little unhappy.

The people of Shangshu behind him were in dire straits, and the most effective reinforcements were right in front of him, but this reinforcement was indifferent to the situation.

Ning Ci Qiu carefully tugged at Liang Xun's sleeve and whispered:

"How about we coax Qi Yan together?"

Liang Xun understood what she meant. He wanted to show some affection and some dog food to make Qi Yan happy in exchange for peace in Shang Shu.

But Liang Xun turned around to look at the tutor who was standing with his hands behind his back in the center of the battlefield and simply ignored Ning Ci Qiu's suggestion.

"Mr. Qi Yan, you once promised Miss Chen that you would protect the people of Shangshu from worries." Liang Xun brought up Chen as an excuse.

Qi Yan nodded, still showing no intention of taking action:

"I promised Lao Chen, so I have no reason to take action."

Liang Xun frowned again, vaguely catching some key information.

"Your Excellency means that... Shang Shu is not actually in crisis now?"

He turned his head again to look at the battlefield below, gradually sorting out his thoughts.

Qi Yan waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I didn't say anything. You guessed it all by yourself. The final right of interpretation belongs to Sui Lao Er."

Liang Xun: “…”

The breath that was held in his heart finally let out.

Just when Liang Xun was about to say something, Qi Yan suddenly started talking to himself as if he had come from a different station.

"Laowang, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. How did I cheat?"

"You dare to say that my script is bad? I tell you, my Qi Xiaobai's script is what everyone expects. Do you know how many people in Shangshu are eagerly waiting for the outcome of the love battle between these two people?"

"How dare you say such a thing? Your script is really funny. You let Old Chen go into politics and ruined her character!"

"...Hey, hey, hey! I just said a few words to you, why are you so angry...Don't smash the chessboard, you can't smash it...Don't throw the chess pieces, why can't you afford to play?!"

Under the stunned gaze of Liang Xun and Ning Ci Qiu, Qi Yan suddenly started dancing and eventually lost connection on the spot.

The man dressed as a porter's head gradually became dazed, and then he regained consciousness.

"Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"

The man was at a loss for a moment, then noticed Liang Xun in front of him and quickly saluted: "I greet Sir Liang."

Liang Xun: "...There's nothing for you to do now, just go on with your work."

"Yes!"

The man didn't dare to say anything more and trotted down the mountain, but then he was frightened by the battlefield of Shang Shu at the foot of the mountain.

Ning Ci Qiu did not waste his energy on that person. He turned his head to look at Liang Xun and asked:

"Since Qi Yan has given a reminder, this place must be an illusion. Sir Liang, you don't need to worry too much."

"Do not."

Liang Xun shook his head and denied Ning Ci Qiu's opinion.

He continued to look at the battlefield below the mountain. Although there was no more pain and self-blame in his eyes, he did not completely relax.

"Ms. Ning, you said this is an illusion, but in my opinion, this is a possibility that will happen in the future."

Liang Xun said in a deep voice: "I think my previous decision was indeed too irrational. I can't gamble. I can't gamble with the safety of the entire Shangshu."

"Master Liang, no matter how the situation develops, you have done your best. This is not your fault."

Ning Ci Qiu couldn't bear to see Liang Xun forcing himself like this, and spoke to comfort him with some heartache.

Liang Xun's eyes flashed with tenderness, but he still shook his head stubbornly:

"This is not a question of who is right or wrong. Miss Ning, I want to go down the mountain to see the Master."

"……I go with you."

Ning Ci Qiu said nothing more.

The two looked at each other, left Wangshuiping side by side, and walked down the mountain road.

But before they had walked far, they saw a familiar figure.

"Ms. Qi Lin, what are you doing here?" Ning Ci Qiu asked curiously.

"Deal with everyone's illusions in the chess pieces, and wait for you along the way."

Qi Lin looked at the two people who were walking side by side but politely kept a distance from each other, and said calmly: "My brother said that you didn't perform the best show effect, so he wants to punish you."

"What punishment?" Liang Xun was obviously surprised.

Qi Lin waved his hand and released a gust of cold wind that enveloped Liang Xun and the other person, lifting them up and floating down the mountain:

"You didn't let him eat dog food, so he punished you by not allowing you to spend time alone together."

Under the strange expressions of Liang Xun and Ning Ci Qiu, the two of them arrived at the battlefield in a few breaths and landed precisely in front of the Grand Tutor.

Even though the Grand Tutor was facing the pressure from Sui Xiang, he still maintained his calm demeanor. When he saw Liang Xun and the other two appear, he simply nodded.

"You two are finally here. Judging from your expressions, do you have something to tell me?" The Grand Tutor seemed to have everything under control.

Liang Xun glanced around briefly.

Taihe stayed by the side of the Taifu all the time to prevent him from getting into danger. Master Bai Tian escaped from the thunder and soared into the sky again. His body was surrounded by green thunder, fighting against the year. Zuo Le rescued the fallen Master Shen from a distance, and helped him to quickly move out of the battlefield.

"No need to look. The reinforcements will arrive in a quarter of an hour. Shang Shu will suffer more than half of its casualties after this battle."

The Grand Master calmly looked at the rampaging Sui Xiang in front of him and commented: "Yan Country can still win against these beings, but we have to take this loss seriously."

Liang Xun cupped his hands and said, "It seems that Master Tai has realized that we are in an illusion now."

"Ah."

The Master's answer was brief and plain.

Liang Xun took a breath, kept his hands clasped, and lowered his head even lower:

"Master, I have a favor to ask of you."

"explain."

"I hope the court will be more lenient with the Sui Beast Agents and stop allowing the Simaitai to press on so hard."

After Liang Xun said this, the Grand Tutor did not express his opinion, but Taihe, who was standing by, changed his expression drastically.

Taihe took a step forward and shouted at Liang Xun:

"Liang Xun, do you want to commit a crime of insubordination?"

Liang Xun did not answer, but remained in his posture waiting for the Taifu's reply.

On the battlefield, there were rumbling thunders, the sound of collapsing houses and the sorrowful wails of the people of Shang Shu.

The voice of the Grand Tutor was mixed in. It was not loud, but extremely clear:

"Liang Xun, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I understand." Liang Xun said firmly, his tone unchanged, "I think the court's attitude towards the Sui Beast Agent is too arbitrary.

Our great Yan is tolerant of everything. People can live and work in peace in our Yan and enjoy the peace that other countries in this land cannot give. As the governor of Shangshu, Liang feels deeply how precious this peace is.

However, now there is a rift between Simaitai and the agents because of one of the agents in the wine cup, and they may even go to war. It is the people of Da Yan who suffer! "

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts." The Taifu's answer was still brief and plain.

"Master! What is our clan?"

Liang Xun raised his head, looked directly at the Grand Tutor, and said word by word: "Nian, Xi, Ling, three agents, can't our Great Yan tolerate them?

Miss Nian has a hot temper, but she forges weapons to defend the country for our Great Yan Military Department. Although she is suspected of being disobedient, she has never done anything to harm the people.

Miss Xi was of a simple and indifferent nature. She traveled around the country and enlightened the people of Dayan. She immersed herself in the art of painting and created masterpieces for many literati and poets of Dayan, which they devoted their entire lives to studying, enriching the cultural realm of Dayan.

Miss Ling is free and easy. During her stay in Shangshu, natural disasters in Shangshu are eliminated, and the people of Dayan are protected to ensure a stable livelihood!

Grand Master! When the people of Great Yan make mistakes, there is no collective punishment. Will the court expel all the agents just because there are some criminals among them?

There should be no difference in rewards and punishments. Since the agent is not a bad person, why should we, Da Yan, be on guard against him everywhere?"

The Grand Tutor's expression remained calm. He looked at Liang Xun with his hands behind his back and asked:

"Prefect Liang, in what capacity do you make these remarks?"

Liang Xun knelt on one knee without hesitation, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly:

"Liang Xun, as the prefect of Shangshu, I am here to ask the Grand Tutor for the people!"
