"This old slave is just a servant in the palace. He only has a place to stay depending on His Majesty's approval. How can he dare to use his power to overwhelm others."
Qu Haijiao stretched his hands in his sleeves, arched his waist slightly, and said with a smile: "However, even if you want to suppress someone, whose power is this old slave taking advantage of today, and whose person is he suppressing?"
Xun Guangyuan stood on one side and frowned in displeasure.
Although he had some objections to Lu Li, he didn't like Qu Haijiao's extremely embarrassing behavior.
Logically speaking, after the battle between Lu Li and Shen Fangge ended, those who were watching the battle should not have shown up. Xun Guangyuan had an unbreakable master-disciple relationship with Shen Fangge, which even involved some of the layout of Hanshan Academy. Even if he was dissatisfied with Shen Fangge, he had to step in to save Shen Fangge's life.
But Qu Haijiao's behavior clearly meant that he was relying on his status to pick peaches for the noble people behind him.
That’s right, picking peaches.
Now Prince Yan's Mansion can be said to have achieved a complete victory. The defeat of the Shen family not only lost the family's reputation, but also personally laid the most valuable stepping stone for Prince Yan's Mansion.
Then the value of Lu Li, a young man, immediately increased with the tide, reaching a point that no one could ignore.
After all, he played an irreplaceable role in this incident. Whether it was a comeback with Zhen Guojin or defeating Shen Fangge in the old street, it was enough to show that he was a usable talent.
Qu Haijiao's actions must be to take advantage of Lu Li's weakness after the war and use his power to suppress him, letting him know that at the critical moment, the Yan Palace could not even protect a meritorious minister. The young man's mind has always been clear about love and hate. If he figured this out, there would be a gap between him and King Yan. If he doesn't do well, Prince Yan's Mansion may lose this genius who has spent so much effort cultivating.
What Qu Haijiao was thinking was nothing more than the most superficial way of sowing discord. Even if it couldn't be used by the nobles behind him, it would still make Lu Li feel grudge against Prince Yan's palace.
Just when Qu Haijiao was making calculations in his heart, Xun Guangyuan suddenly took a step across and stood between the two of them. He said gently: "Eunuch Qu, this little friend has been seriously injured. Since what happened here, it's okay." It’s better to let him go back and heal his wounds.”
Qu Haijiao's expression changed slightly and he was extremely unhappy.
But Xun Guangyuan's eyes were calm and he looked at him motionlessly.
A scholar only abides by the word "reason". Even if he had disliked Lu Li in his heart, he was still willing to stop Qu Haijiao's evil intentions for him at this time.
The book business is angry, but that's all.
"Mr. Xun, do you really want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Holy Spirit?" Qu Haijiao smiled.
Xun Guangyuan said calmly: "If Eunuch Qu comes today with your majesty's handwriting, Xunmou, a mere academy teacher, will naturally not dare to block it. But now that the father-in-law wants to bully others, although Xunmou thinks he is not his father-in-law's opponent, he wants to Take a tube."
"Okay, Mr. Xun is indeed a great talent in Hanshan."
Qu Haijiao didn't look at him again. He looked past Xun Guangyuan towards Lu Li and pretended to be gentle, "However, this little brother hasn't answered the old slave's question yet."
"This old guy seems to have no good intentions." Seeing that he was aggressive, Lu Li sneered in his heart, stood behind Xun Guangyuan calmly, and said with a smile: "Father, it's just like what this gentleman said, I I am injured now, and my brain is not very clear. I really can't understand my father-in-law's question. If you have anything to say, I will wait until I return to the palace to recover from my injury, and then I can go and visit my father-in-law in person."
As soon as these words came out, Qu Haijiao's face turned extremely ugly.
After taking a deep look at the little naughty man, the eunuch who often lived in the palace suddenly smiled and said, "My little brother is also a wonderful person. In this case, I won't say anything more."
After saying that, Qu Haijiao turned around and left without any hesitation, but in his heart he had already labeled Lu Li as someone who didn't know how to appreciate others.
Xun Guangyuan, who was well aware of the eunuch's certain tricks, sighed, turned to Lu Li and bowed his head to the ground.
Lu Li was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to support him, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Xun Guangyuan for jumping out to save Shen Fangge halfway, he still had no ill feelings toward Xun Guangyuan.
"Today I, Xun Mou, owe my little friend two favors. If necessary in the future, I can send someone to Hanshan Academy to bring a message. No matter what happens, as long as it does not violate the truth, Xun Mou will definitely repay today's debt."
Xun Guangyuan avoided Lu Li's hand and saluted stubbornly, his tone extremely serious.
When Lu Li heard this, he knew that Xun Guangyuan had also blocked him for offending Qu Haijiao.
In desperation, Lu Li said unceremoniously: "I remember."
The last grudge against Xun Guangyuan disappeared.
When Xun Guangyuan heard this, his expression actually softened a bit. He nodded and said, "In that case, I will take Young Master Shen away first. See you later."
As he spoke, his broad sleeves trembled slightly, and he gathered up the half-dead Shen Fangge, bowed to Lu Li, and then slowly left the old street.
"Students are really different."
Looking at his leaving figure, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.
"What's the difference?"
Suddenly. A somewhat familiar female voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Lu Li's whole body tensed up. He knew who the owner of the voice was without even looking. He turned around and said seriously, "I have met His Highness."
At this moment, Mu Hongxiu was standing behind him, looking at him expressionlessly, "What did I tell you?"
Lu Li smiled bitterly and said, "His Highness said that we need to show off our momentum and let these losers know how powerful Prince Yan's Mansion is."
"How's your momentum for winning such a coward?" Mu Hongxiu snorted coldly, then revealed her murderous intent and said, "You don't even dare to hit that old gelding, it's so embarrassing."
Lu Li didn't know who she was talking about, so he just silently cursed: "To you, he is an old gelding, but to me, he is an immortal warrior..."
Although he has already cultivated the immortal body in advance, Lu Li has not yet grown to the point where he thinks he can compete with the immortal state.
What's more, walking around the world, women, old people, children, Taoist priests, monks and eunuchs, these are the types that should not be messed with. Qu Haijiao is both an old man and a eunuch, and he is also a eunuch from the Demon Sect. Who knows what kind of vicious skills he has practiced
Of course, Lu Li only dared to complain about this in his heart, but he did not dare to express it in front of Mu Hongxiu.
Fortunately, Mu Hongxiu didn't say much, and just said calmly: "I will go back to the Shenwei Division and go out to practice more. If I see this old gelding again in the future, don't lose my people."
Lu Li could only say yes quickly.
Then Mu Hongxiu clasped her hands behind her hands and looked around the corners of the long street. She coldly snorted, "They're all trash," and said with an extremely arrogant attitude: "Go home!"
