People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 868: Settlement of Accounts Afterwards

Shang Shu, inside the city.

People were walking busily on the streets.

The thunder that illuminated half of the night sky last night and the magnificent vision on Qujiang Peak in the early morning caused the sleep quality of this group of ordinary people to be generally below average.

But, these are the only impacts.

After daybreak, the people of Shangshu went to work and school as usual. Apart from a few topics for idle chat after dinner, no one took what happened that night too seriously.

It's not just that the people of Shangshu are tough and don't take anything to heart.

Some people felt a little panic, but this emotion disappeared after their own Lord Liang appeared safely on the streets of Shangshu in the morning glow.

In the Liang Mansion, Qi Yan looked even more tired than the people of Shang Shu, with his head resting on his sister's shoulder, drowsy.

On the contrary, the elderly tutor was full of energy and did not show any sign of tiredness.

In the courtyard, apart from Qi Yan who stayed behind to watch the play, only Liang Xun and other officials were left waiting obediently beside the Grand Tutor.

They knew that the Grand Tutor had said a few words of gossip at Qujiang Peak and then returned home with everyone. It was not that he was really prepared to let the matter go, but that Qujiang Peak was not a good place to discuss matters after all.

Now that we have returned to the city, the time for Taifu's reckoning is approaching.

The Grand Tutor's eyes swept across Qi Yan's siblings, passed by the three sisters Nian Xiling, and finally stopped on Liang Xun.

"Liang Xun, pack up and find someone to take your place as prefect, and have him arrive in Shangshu within a month."

Liang Xun's expression changed as soon as the Grand Tutor opened his mouth.

However, the one who reacted even more violently than Liang Xun was Ning Ci Qiu.

Her lively eyes widened a little as she looked at the Grand Tutor eagerly. It seemed as if those eyes could speak, silently asking the Grand Tutor what she should do if he dismissed Liang Xun?

Liang Xun thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he just asked directly:

"Liang... I don't know what the Master intends."

"Follow me to the capital." The Grand Tutor did not keep anyone in suspense and directly stated his plan.

Liang Xun was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and realized the deeper meaning behind the Taifu's words. It was clear that he was planning to keep him by his side and promote him.

Taihe, who was listening to the noise, looked distressed.

He knew that the consequences of the decision he made in the illusion had been revealed at this moment.

I still fell behind.

Just as Taihe was complaining to himself, he suddenly heard Liang Xun speak again:

"I thank you, Master, but I still..."

"Ning Ci Qiu congratulates Lord Liang on his promotion." Ning Ci Qiu hurriedly interrupted Liang Xun's suicidal act.

Liang Xun opened his mouth, but couldn't finish the words he was about to say.

"Minister Ning."

Just as Ning Ci Qiu kept winking at Liang Xun, her name was suddenly called by the tutor. She quickly regained her composure and bowed to listen.

"Yumen has changed its route from the established route." The Grand Tutor said without any context.

Ning Ci Qiu was a little confused and tried to understand:

"Is Yumen City avoiding natural disasters, or..."

"For another purpose." The Grand Tutor smiled, "You go to Yumen first. Liang Xun and I will go there after we finish our business in the capital."

Hearing this, Ning Ci Qiu was immediately excited and said loudly: "Understood!"

After answering, Ning Ci Qiu immediately looked at Liang Xun excitedly, only to find that the latter was frowning slightly and thinking about other things.

The little deer girl immediately pursed her lips again, silently looked away and no longer looked at Liang Xun.

Liang Xun realized later that something was wrong. He came to his senses and looked around, but found nothing special. He immediately returned to his own thoughts.

The Master who was watching all this silently: "..."

He sighed in his heart for the unlucky girl Ning Ci Qiu, and his eyes moved to Taihe.

“It’s perfect.”

"exist."

"What achievements has Simui Tai made this time?"

"..."

Taihe wanted to say that the peace of Shangshu would be the greatest achievement of Simuitai, but he did not have the courage to do so.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

In this Shang Shu incident, he was first dragged along by Qi Yan, and then he was busy running around in Wang's illusion. His degree of fatigue was no less than anyone else, but he was really just a companion throughout the whole process, unable to get a word in, nor to lend a hand.

The Grand Tutor saw the bitterness in Taihe's heart, but he didn't say anything to teach him a lesson:

"Si Suitai's mistake this time will not be pursued for now. You have more important things to do right now. I now order you to take Zuo Le and confirm the whereabouts of all the fragments of Wang."

"……Yes."

Taihe agreed reluctantly.

After all the hard work, he didn't get any credit or reward, and in the end all the hard work fell on his head.

Zuo Le was completely unaware of all this. Instead, he was secretly excited about getting such an important assignment, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Taihe noticed Zuo Le's expression and felt that the world was not worth it and Rhodes Island was better.

Thinking of this, Taihe subconsciously looked towards the edge of the courtyard and tried three things at once: dozing off, sucking on his sister, and listening to the lively Qi Yan.

But just when his eyes moved halfway, Taihe suddenly woke up and realized that the tutor was still there.

He hurriedly forced his eyes down and stared at a floor tile.

The Grand Tutor did not pay attention to Taihe's little movements. His eyes wandered again and finally landed on the three sisters of Nian Xiling.

"You did a good job..." The Grand Tutor actually praised them.

Ling smiled but didn't speak in a hurry, but the ink-mouthed young man's eyes lit up.

"...Except you, Nian." The Grand Tutor added, "You contacted Qi Yan privately, which was the first offense, and you recklessly planned to destroy the beast Sui, which was the second offense. You tempted Master Bai Tian to control the thunder in the city, which was the third offense.

"After counting the numbers, do you know you are wrong?"

When Nian heard this, he immediately got furious and opened his mouth to retort, but his eldest sister gently hit him on the head with a wine jug.

"You must not be rude to the Grand Tutor," he said.

"I haven't said anything yet!" Nian looked aggrieved.

"If you tell me, I won't just knock you over."

Ling reached out and rubbed Nian's head again, then looked at the Grand Tutor: "I think the Grand Tutor called the three of us back not just to settle accounts afterwards."

It was no surprise that Taifu was guessed:

"The main purpose of my arrangement this time is to see the attitudes of the three of you.

Faced with Sui Xiang's mischief, even though Nian and Xi were no match for him, they had no intention of letting Sui Xiang wreak havoc on Shang Shu.

Seeing that you are still willing to stand on the side of the people of Da Yan is enough. I have some arrangements afterwards, but considering that you will go to Yumen with Qi Yan, I am not in a hurry to nag you now. "

"what?"

Ling Henian didn't say anything, but Xi Liboli said, "Aren't you going to Rhodes Island to enjoy your independent workstation? Why do you still have to run around outside?"

When Qi Yan saw that the topic turned to Rhodes Island, he immediately jumped up from Qi Lin's shoulder and walked in front of the group in two or three steps.

"You can also go to Rhodes Island to work by yourself, but I don't have any tokens to prove my identity." Qi Yan spread his hands and said, "If you go rashly, you might be caught and locked up in the bottom floor of Rhodes Island, in a room where there is no detector, and you will be severely interrogated."

Xi: "...Can't I go with you?"

When Taifu, Ling and others saw how easily Qi Yan controlled Xi, they couldn't help but shake their heads in amusement.

But soon, the Grand Tutor stopped smiling and said to Qi Yan seriously:

"Can I talk to you alone?"
