    49. The ups and downs of officialdom and tired travel for a long time

    Pei Nianyu saw that the white-clothed swordsman forced them back with just a few moves, and his skills were so sharp. He thought he was lucky. He didn't expect such a master to come to help the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Capital City.

    He was about to step forward and explain the situation to the swordsman, but Lou Yefeng beside him suddenly laughed lightly.

    Pei Nianyu turned to look at him, puzzled.

    Lou Yefeng smiled without saying a word.

    Before Pei Nianyu could figure out what was going on, the swordsman in white suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of him:

    "The subordinate's rescue came late, is the master okay?"

    Pei Nianyu was stunned: "Old He?"

    He looked at the man in front of him with his hair loosely tied with a headband and wearing a pure white long-sleeved robe, and he didn't know what was going on for a moment.

    Lou Yefeng whispered in his ear:

    "Master, did you forget that Old He was sleeping in the morning?"

    Pei Nianyu: "......"

    I see…………

    He Qi was afraid that he was falling asleep on the bed, but suddenly received the signal he had played before.So he didn't even have time to put on his coat, and didn't even have time to tie up his hair, so he ran out wearing his sleeping coat and carrying a sword?

    Pei Nianyu looked at the man with two big dark circles in front of him, no wonder his tone was respectful but his face was livid, who would be in a good mood when he woke up just after falling asleep!

    He suddenly felt guilty, so he whispered to He Qi:

    "That, I'm really sorry..."

    With a blank expression on his face, He Qi got up and turned his head away, holding the long sword horizontally in front of him, and was about to say something, but suddenly got stuck.

    In this situation... what should say?Want to scold?Want to show the momentum of the master?By the way, does the master want to reveal his identity?

    No experience!

    Their shadow guards have never been long-winded, and they all hide in the dark, and the fight is over, and they have never said anything for their master in front of the stage.Usually this kind of thing is handled by the accompanying guards in charge of Yijia.

    He was just about to turn around and ask his master how to deal with it, when the people opposite saw He Qi's aura suffocated, they immediately called out their weapons again.

    He Qi's face turned black into the bottom of the pot!

    Without further ado, he made a gesture, and suddenly a group of black-clothed shadow guards came out from beside him, subdued them with three or two moves, tapped acupoints and threw them on the ground one by one.

    Several people on the opposite side were frightened and stupid, and they all looked at Pei Nianyu——

    This person... Could it be that he is really the leader of the Flying Ramen Sect?

    Forgive their ignorance, in Capital City, they don't even know what the famous Royal Shadow Guard looks like.

    He Qi turned around and asked Pei Nianyu:

    "Master, how to deal with it?"

    "They said this is the little Marquis' house, He Qi, do you know which mansion this is?"

    He Qi leaped onto the wall lightly, and looked left and right:

    "It's Cheng Enhou's Mansion."

    "Chengenhou Mansion..."

    Pei Nianyu knew that this Marquis Chengen was conferred by the late emperor, and the serious Marquis Chengen was in his fifties, and his name was Chen Xiangqin.Many years ago, he was conferred the title of knighthood because of his great achievements in water control when he was working in the local area.

    Then the late emperor passed away, and as a confidant of the late emperor, he naturally resigned from office and spent his days at home.

    In all fairness, Pei Nianyu still has a lot of respect for Marquis Chengen, and he deserves to be a leader who has made a difference.

    Who would have thought that he would actually raise such a son, who is so ineffective, not to mention, doing evil and doing evil is considered normal.

    What's more... the title of their family name is not hereditary. Even if the eldest son of the Marquis of Cheng En's mansion inherits the title in the future, he will be degraded to Cheng En Bo.

    I don't know whether the nickname "Little Marquis" was given by this kid himself, or his father agreed to it... If it is true, it can be regarded as presumptuous.

    Pei Nianyu was thinking about how to deal with this little Marquis, and was about to make a sound when a young man in his thirties came out from the courtyard, looking drunk, surrounded by a bunch of helpers.

    When he saw Pei Nianyu, a flash of hostility flashed in his eyes:

    "Where is the grandson of a turtle, dare to offend..."

    With a sound of brushing the long sword out of its sheath, He Qi directly cut off half of his hair.

    "How dare you disrespect your master!"

    Pei Nianyu raised his forehead immediately, "Old He, what you said...does anyone know who your master is?"What's the use...

    Sure enough, the young master didn't buy it at all, and he didn't know these shadow guards.However, he didn't know whether he had drunk too much or something, and he was unconscious, so he didn't feel the threat of force from a group of shadow guards, thinking that he could scare them with his identity.

    So the little Marquis continued to be ignorant of current affairs:

    "Whoever your master is, if you dare to offend Ben Marquis, I think it's you who will have to take the consequences!"

    He looked around and saw that Pei Nianyu was younger than him, turned to Byakugan and asked:

    "Report your name!"

    Pei Nianyu's face was pale, and he didn't answer him. He flicked his sleeves lightly and put his back behind his back.

    Let me answer you?

    ——Where do you match.

    According to the etiquette of the Great Jing Dynasty, in terms of rank, he is a prince.Not to mention the little Marquis, even his father would have to salute him when he came, and he didn't even need to return the salute if he was driven by a car on the way.

    Pei Nianyu shook his head, turned around and wanted to leave:

    "Let's go back."

    ——Although he is not very good at dealing with this kind of interpersonal conflicts, but... just let Xiao Sheng deal with him, it's very simple.

    Offending the prince and robbing the daughters of the people, let alone imprisoning him for more than ten years.

    The young master was about to say something, when a middle-aged man suddenly stumbled out from behind the door.After seeing Pei Nianyu, he immediately made a big gift:

    "The lower official didn't know that the prince was coming... the dog ran into the prince..."

    Pei Nianyu sighed and told him to calm down.

    What are you afraid of?

    He still has some respect for Marquis Chengen, and he has always been soft-tempered, this Marquis Chengen is getting old, give him such a show...he doesn't know how to deal with that little Marquis.

    It's just...Pei Nianyu looked at Yun Chi next to him.

    It was Yun Chi who had his backing to escape the disaster. Before that... don't know how many girls have been harmed by this little Marquis.

    He shook his head slightly, and decided that no matter how much Marquis Chengen pleaded, he was ready to ignore it.

    Fortunately, Marquis Chengen is a sensible person. This sensible person does not mean that he knows that he is incapable of teaching children, otherwise he would not have taught such a thing over the years.

    "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely teach the dog a lesson!"

    His reason is only because he has been in the officialdom for a long time... he knows that his family cannot afford to offend Pei Nianyu.

    Even if he asked the old man to beg for the bones, the direction of the wind in the court was naturally clear. Who didn't know that the Holy One is the closest to his elder brother?

    At this moment, Marquis Chengen repeatedly complained of bad luck.

    This Prince Yu has lived in seclusion for three years and has never interacted with them. How could it be a coincidence that today he ran into the prince who came out for a stroll?

    Pei Nianyu is easy to talk, but it doesn't mean that Pei Niancheng is easy to talk.

    If he pleads for his son, he will definitely provoke Pei Niancheng's anger, really... He is just an official from the previous court, and he has no power and power at this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to vent his anger even if he is overwhelmed.

    The crimes can be big or small, if you really want to talk about crimes, from assaulting the prince, to calling us presumptuous, then to accumulating force, and finally extending it... Isn't it just a hat of treason?

    If he pushed his son out honestly, Pei Niancheng might just punish him a little and give him a big reprimand for the sake of his knowledge and interest.Parenting is incompetent, discipline is not strict, at most he will be demoted to a title, but his life is not hindered.

    Although Marquis Chengen is very sad that his beloved son will be imprisoned, but well...

    ...sacrificing his son alone to benefit his whole family in Cheng Enhou's Mansion.

    Ok.

    Who told his son to be unlucky, and whoever he offended was bad, but he really kicked the iron plate if he offended this big Buddha.

    Pei Nianyu took a deep look at him, and naturally understood his thoughts in an instant.

    He is not interested in politics, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything.Looking at it now, this Marquis Chengen...is also an old fox.

    Forget it, if you don't have extraordinary means and keen judgment, how can you be in charge of one side and make achievements.

    Maybe...he was just like that.

    Pei Nianyu didn't speak again, and only ordered the shadow guard to send the little Marquis directly to Dali Temple, and at the same time asked the shadow guard to report to Pei Niancheng in detail, and let him make a decision.

    By the way, Pei Nianyu also asked Yun Chi to go back to the palace first. She was like this... She would rather die than follow, and gave up the opportunity to "climb to a high branch". If she was allowed to go home, I'm afraid she would be beaten even worse.

    As for those Jianghu people, they were also sent to officials. The imperial court has its own department that is dedicated to connecting with Jianghu and maintaining the stability of Jianghu to deal with them.

    ………………

    After cleaning up the mess, Pei Nianyu, Lou Yefeng and He Qi walked slowly down the street.

    Looking at He Qi's white clothes, he joked:

    "I said Old He, don't say it, you are quite handsome, if you don't wear white clothes from now on!"

    He Qi: "..."

    Let the shadow guards wear white clothes, what a mess!

    Pei Nianyu became serious:

    "I'm serious, let Xiu Niang make you a white shadow guard system when you return home. It's the tight-fitting one you usually wear. You really look better in white than black."

    He Qi was dubious: "Really?"

    "Well, well, it's actually because the old building wore exactly the same clothes as you when he was the commander. I think it's better for you two to wear different clothes."

    He Qi: "..."

    I just knew it!

    However, the master had an order and had to obey, so he had to accept the fact that the uniform was changed sadly.

    "In other words, you can sleep at home and sleep as long as you want, why come here in person?"

    He Qi scratched his loose hair, with a very frantic expression, watching Pei Nianyu hesitating to speak, hesitant to speak but then hesitant, and finally couldn't help but complain about his master:

    "I said master, you sent a signal...couldn't your subordinates come over? But... why did your subordinates rush over from the mansion the fastest? What about the other shadow guards? They didn't come to the rescue in time!"

    According to the usual situation, if there are really villains, they will be taken down by the shadow guards if they don't get close to them. Today, it is the situation where Her Majesty Wang Hao personally fights for a long time...

    To be honest, He Qi was in a panic, these shadow guards were too remiss in their duties!

    Lou Yefeng has served as the commander for ten years, and has experienced countless dangerous and bloody storms, but this situation has never happened.He Qi just took office for one or two months, when such a mess happened, he almost went crazy.

    If the master really made a mistake, then he is really to die for.

    He Qi looked at the four ashen-faced shadow guards next to him, who were the four who were in charge of accompanying him today, and said angrily:

    "Go back and receive the punishment yourself! You know how much you should be fined!"

    Pei Nianyu hurriedly stopped:

    "Don't, don't, don't do their business. I asked them to follow far away when I went out today. I didn't notice the situation here for a while."

    He Qi wants to cry but has no tears:

    "Master, you must have gone back to sleep while your subordinates were changing shifts. Knowing that these shadow guards are honest and obedient, you succeeded... If your subordinates were on duty, how could you be so self-willed."

    Pei Nianyu gave him a thumbs up with a smile:

    "so smart!"

    "..."

    He Qi was immediately disheartened, thinking that he was only twenty-four years old this year, and he would be the commander of the shadow guard for his increasingly unreliable master for eleven years—one year more than the old building!

    ...he felt that life was unrequited.

    "But speaking of it, Old He, you still need to practice and practice. In the future, I will often come out to play with the old building in plain clothes. Maybe this kind of thing will happen again one day. You have to learn how to deal with it before trouble comes to your door.Show my name and scare them away, understand?"

    He Qi shook his head dumbly:

    "Subordinates don't understand, isn't this the duty of a guard?"

    "Tsk, if I go out with the prince's ceremonial guard, how can this kind of thing happen? Besides, with the ceremonial guard, it is called the prince to go on tour, not to go shopping. In the past, the old building was responsible for this work. From now ongive it to you!"

    He Qi said in his heart, master, you are really talking nonsense, he has never encountered such a thing in the old building ten years in office, how come it has become the responsibility of the shadow guard.

    "Then the master might as well teach his subordinates, if they encounter such a situation in the future? How to scare them away?"

    "First of all, you go back and practice this passage for me—"

    "Bold and unreasonable, you are not polite when you see the prince! You are guilty!"

    He Qi: "..."

    No, isn't this the exclusive line of the noble gentry and dog legs running rampant in the countryside? Let him say this as the dignified commander of the shadow guard (still a third grade), is it really worth it!

    He Qi continued to live without love.

    "When you meet an official, you call it a dog official, and when you meet a person in the rivers and lakes, you call it a thief. Do you understand?"

    "Understood, understood... This subordinate will go back to practice diligently, and this subordinate will leave. You and the concubine should continue shopping..."

    He Qi walked away, Pei Nianyu exclaimed:

    "Old He, wait a moment, leave some money, I have no money to pay the bill!"

    Without looking back, He Qi threw a purse of broken silver to Pei Nianyu with his backhand, and slipped even faster, leaving only the accompanying shadow guard hidden nearby.

    Pei Nianyu took the purse and was in a good mood.

    However, when he turned his head to look at Lou Yefeng, he saw that his expression remained calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

    Just now when he molested He Qi, Ye Feng was silent from beginning to end.

    Pei Nianyu's heart suddenly thumped, he stopped quickly, and tugged on his sleeve:

    "Ye Feng...? What's wrong with you?"
