Pei Yuanhao thought for a while and said, "That Xishan Academy is not far from here?"

I looked up at him: "Your Majesty wants-"

"I want to go and have a look."

“…”

I thought for a while and said, "I think, Your Majesty, please don't go there."

"Why?"

"Xishan Academy is different from the Yan family. They do not belong to any force. Even if they have been dependent on the Yan family, they have never obeyed the orders of the Yan family." When I said this, I saw Pei Yuanhao raise his eyebrows slightly. Obviously, as an emperor, he could not understand this kind of existence. I said calmly: "Maybe, this is a bit unacceptable to Your Majesty, but in Xichuan, the Academy has always existed like this. They use the Yan family's money to enjoy the supplies provided by the Yan family, and when they no longer want it, they will help the Yan family do things, but they exist independently of the Yan family."

“…”

"For them, anyone can use their money, but no one needs to listen to anyone's words."

“…”

"Because only in this way, students who come out of the academy can have their own ideas, and will never just think about relying on powerful forces and selling their talents and learning in exchange for some food and clothing."

“…”

"This is the spirit of Xishan Academy. I hope that no matter when the peace talks are successful, even if the future - Xichuan will be subordinate to the court, but Xishan Academy will not change it."

“…”

"So, please do not step into the academy."

“…”

"Let it be a place that Your Majesty will never reach."

If this sentence is usually said in front of the emperor, it would be a serious crime of beheading. However, after hearing what I said, Pei Yuanhao did not immediately show his anger, but instead calmed down. His deep eyes were staring at the candlelight flashing on the table in front of him. After a long time, he finally nodded.

"I understand what you mean."

“…”

"Don't worry, I won't go there."

I sighed softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After explaining this, I also felt relieved. Pei Yuanhao looked outside. At this time, it was completely dark outside. He could only barely see some lights in the distance. He looked downstairs and said, "The people in this town slept very early, and there were no people on the street."

"Yeah?"

I just responded perfunctorily, and I couldn't eat it anymore, so I put down the chopsticks in my hand.

At this moment, I suddenly felt something and looked back.

Not only did it become quiet outside, but the restaurant also became very quiet, without even the wind at all. The bead curtain behind it seemed as if it had solidified. When you saw through the bead curtain, there seemed to be no one outside.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao chuckled.

“It came so fast.”

When I heard what he said, my heart sank.

Could it be that someone has really come and recognized him and is going to take action?

At this time, I also felt a little regretful. I asked Qingchen before that he asked so many people and rushed over with such a big battle just to see the inn where he stayed. I met it halfway through. I was worried that it would attract other people's attention, so I let those teams go forward first. If I had known it, it would be better to attract attention.

Looking at Pei Yuanhao's happy expression, my brows frowned. I don't know how many people he brought, but if those people really wanted to assassinate him, the number of people would definitely not be small.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded downstairs.

It was the sound of a large group of people running upstairs, which made the stairs tremble. Su Su was so nervous that she grabbed my wrist: "Miss!"

But at this time, Pei Yuanhao picked up the wine pot, poured a half glass of wine for himself, poured a little into my cup, and said, "Why don't you drink a little too."

I didn't say anything, nor was I in the mood to play tricks with him. At this time, those people had already rushed up. They probably had figured out the exact location downstairs. After going upstairs, they only paused for a moment, and immediately saw that there were only people in our elegant seat. Someone immediately shouted: "It's there!"

"He's there, get on!"

As soon as the words were finished, the group of people had already waved the sword in their hands and came towards this side.

"Miss!"

Su Su was so shocked that she was about to stand up and blocked me, but just as she was about to get up, she heard a few loud bangs on the roof, as if it was a bolt from the blue, making Su Su jump up. I hurriedly raised my head and saw several big holes suddenly breaking on the roof. For a moment, wood slags splashed, and several men in black jumped down from above, landing steadily outside the private room, blocking in front of those people.

I knew it was Pei Yuanhao's shadow guard.

Since he was going to enter the city, he naturally had to have the shadow guard to protect him. But I counted silently and there were only seven or eight, and he really didn't bring much manpower.

The killers who rushed up probably didn't expect that these people would suddenly kill, but they stopped for a moment and immediately came up again, killing them with the shadow guards in an instant.

Pei Yuanhao only looked outside, then lowered his head, and still drank his wine glass with his wine.

This restaurant was so quiet that there was no sound at all. At this time, the entire martial arts movement was staged again. Most of the town was shocked. You could vaguely see that many houses had lighted up lights, but no one dared to come out easily.

He leaned against the window and looked outside, chuckling, "The scenery of Xichuan is indeed extraordinary."

I ignored him and still looked outside nervously.

Of course, his Shadow Guard is good. He has already defeated several of them in the fight, but he does not have an advantage in the number of people. Moreover, the opponent is constantly adding new killers from below. After several rounds of battles, Shadow Guard also fell a few.

There were people running upwards at the entrance of the stairs. Soon, the people outside had already filled most of the second floor. The shadow guards were fighting and retreating, and slowly they were about to retreat outside the pearl curtain.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao frowned and glanced outside.

He probably didn't expect that this would be so difficult. Seeing that the killers had surrounded the outside, the remaining four or five shadow guards were entangled by them and could not get rid of them. Several of the killers seized the opportunity and immediately rushed into our fairyland with swords.

Seeing that they were about to rush over, I immediately stood up deep. Susu stretched out her hand and didn't have time to stop me. She lifted the bead curtain and stepped forward and stood at the door.

A knife stabbed me directly into my chest, but stopped less than a punch from me.

When the killers saw that it was me, they were stunned.
Chapter completed!
