Chapter 264: Meeting with Xiangguo
This time, Ji Yu'er used enough hallucinogenic potion on her body, and her body almost touched Xue Peng's chest. She didn't believe it, and she couldn't make Xue Peng faint.
However, just as Xue Peng's eyes became dull again, thunder power emerged from his body again, this time, more fierce and violent than the last time.
Ji Ye's pupils shrank. This time, he didn't even have time to activate his spiritual armor. The stormy thunder shattered the table in front of him and hit him.
Fortunately, the spiritual armor protects his body and is not seriously injured, but his hair was completely burned and he is extremely embarrassed. Ji Yu'er, who is beside him, was also spread out, with her head down and her legs up, and fell to the corner of the wall.
At this time, Xue Peng's eyes returned to clear again. Looking at the miserable appearance of the two of them, he couldn't help but say, "Oh, brother Ji, Yu'er, how did you two do it?"
Ji Ye looked at Xue Peng with a gloomy face. At this moment, he understood that Xue Peng was playing tricks on him.
"Okay, okay, good Xue Peng, Ji Ye remembers this today."
After saying that, Ji Ye snorted angrily, turned around and left, Ji Yuer followed him out with a look of shame and anger.
"Hey, Brother Ji Ye, don't leave, Miss Yu'er stay!" Xue Peng shouted loudly, but there was a smile in his mouth and eyes.
Ji Yu'er also caught a glimpse of Xue Peng's narrow smile and immediately understood everything. Thinking that she was playing around in front of others like a monkey, Ji Yu'er felt even more ashamed and left quickly, and she felt even more hatred for Xue Peng.
After leaving the restaurant, Ji Ye said to his subordinates, "Give me instructions, isn't Xue Peng going to take over the left garrison? He can't do anything. Not only that, I'll find something for them to make him less than three days. No, let him get out on the first day of taking office."
Ji Ye roared, and this scene was also seen by a servant. The servant hurriedly ran towards the prime minister's mansion and entered the prime minister's mansion through the back door.
Xue Peng looked at the table full of delicacies and smelled the fragrance. He sat down and started to feast on it. If he didn't eat it, it would be a waste.
After drinking and eating, Xue Peng walked out of the restaurant, asked about the direction, and then came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Peng smiled and said to the servant who was guarding the gate, "This big brother, please inform me and say that Xue Peng asked to see the Prime Minister."
The servant glanced at Xue Peng and sneered, "There are so many people who want to see the prime minister. If you say you want to inform me, I will inform you?"
As he said that, the servant stopped looking at Xue Peng and kept touching his ears with one hand. How could Xue Peng not understand this? This is a spirit stone.
But it was clearly the prime minister who asked him to come over, but he also wanted to collect his spirit stones. What's the point?
Xue Peng was reluctant to take out a spirit stone and smiled, "Brother, I'm sorry for you."
The servant glanced at it and sneered, "A spirit stone, do you think I am a beggar?"
When Xue Peng heard this, he put away the spirit stone, glanced at the servant, turned around and left.
And at this moment, the servant panicked and said hurriedly, "Sir Xue stay."
Xue Peng stopped and looked at the servant and said with a smile, "Sir, I wonder what you can do if you want to teach me?"
The servant hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Xue, my master has been waiting for you for a long time." He said that, looking at Xue Peng and laughed, which meant that he wanted the spirit stone just now.
Xue Peng had no intention of giving spirit stones at all, and said, "Why are you smirking? Why don't you lead the way?" He thought to himself, how to explain to Tian Xiangguo about seeing Ji Ye first.
In the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Tian Fengzheng sat under a big banyan tree, with a chessboard in front of him and an incense burner beside him.
Tian Xiangguo sat upright, closed his eyes in front of the chessboard to calm down. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.
Xue Peng stepped forward and bowed, "Sei Peng, the lower-ranking official, has met the Prime Minister."
Tian Xiangguo said lightly, "Don't give me a gift, sit down."
"Yes." Xue Peng sat down, smiled slightly, and was about to explain, "Prime Minister, before."
Tian Xiangguo did not let Xue Peng continue, but said, "I believe you know the situation in the royal court now. I believe that I and the prince can no longer suppress the eldest prince, but you can still choose to stand on the side of the prince. I did not see the wrong person, and the prince did not see the wrong person."
"The spirit stones, pills, spiritual weapons, etc. that the king wants to reward you are military pay. I was wondering why he had no objection to you leading the Left Guard Army. It turned out that he had hollowed out the national treasury first."
Speaking of this, Tian Xiangguo looked at Xue Peng and said, "Even so, you have to find a way to train the left garrison into a critical moment, and be able to escort the prince and queen out of a powerful brigade in the royal city. This is my only requirement for this army, Xue Peng, can you do it?"
When Xue Peng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Tian Xiangguo with his eyes. He thought that Tian Xiangguo would be surrounded by him in a fog and then asked him to guess, but he didn't expect that Tian Xiangguo's words were so direct and without any concealment.
"What? Do you don't want to do it or can't?" Seeing Xue Peng hesitate, Tian Fengyuan stared at Xue Peng with deep eyes as deep as the sea.
Xue Peng thought to himself and finally said, "Xue Peng has never led an army. He is afraid that he will have high expectations from the prime minister and the king, so Xue Peng dare not speak out."
Tian Feng looked at Xue Peng for a long time after hearing this, then clapped his hands, and a young man came over after hearing the sound.
Xue Peng also glanced at the person who came and saw the young man wearing black clothes, thin figure, and very thin. He had a long black sword in his left palm, with a solemn expression and seriousness, but his eyes were extremely bright, just like two beacons in the night.
"He is Wei Ying, who is half of my son. He can be completely trusted. He has more than 20 years of military experience and is more than enough to help you manage the left garrison."
Tian Xiangguo's eyes turned to Wei Ying and said slowly, "Wei Ying, from now on, you will follow Captain Xue and have no relationship with our Prime Minister's Mansion."
Wei Ying stepped forward after hearing this, knelt on one knee and said, "Wei Ying, I have met Captain Xue."
Xue Peng quickly stood up and said, "Prime Minister, how can this be done? According to the lower officials, the lower officials will take the title of empty rank, and the military power of the left garrison will be controlled by Brother Wei."
Tian Xiangguo laughed and said, "I heard that you have a nickname called Xiao Huatou. It's true. Master Xue, you don't have to be too careful. I asked Wei Ying to go there just to help you. Wei Ying is a general, but he is far inferior to you in terms of judging the situation, so you don't have to worry too much. If you don't want Wei Ying to stay in the army, I won't force you."
Xue Peng hurriedly said, "With Brother Wei's help, you will definitely get half the result with twice the effort. The subordinates will not be able to ask for it. Brother Wei will ask for it."
As he said that, Xue Peng went to support Wei Ying, stood up and said, "Thank you sir."
Xue Peng smiled and said, "I'll just say goodbye to you. If Brother Wei doesn't mind, just call me Brother Xue."
Wei Ying said respectfully, "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and Wei Ying dares not overthrow it."
Tian Xiangguo nodded and then said, "Person Xue, every step you take is difficult now. This journey is not easy, but you must hold on."
