Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 94 Guo Baokun's Submission
Inside the Fan Mansion, Leng Feibai and Fan Xian were waiting for news from Chen Pingping.

"Brother, do you think Dean Chen can take down Li Yunrui?"

"50 50."

After Leng Feibai sensed that there were no spies around, he said calmly, "It all depends on whether Li Yunrui knows that you've met Yan Bingyun. If she reveals it, even if she can expel Li Yunrui from Kyoto, you'll still be in big trouble. If things go wrong, you and I will have to go to Northern Qi together."

"Northern Qi Dynasty!"

Fan Xian looked at Leng Feibai and asked, "Why do you want to go to Northern Qi?"

Before Leng Feibai could speak, Wang Qinian used his lightness skills to come to the yard again.

Seeing this, Fan Xian said helplessly, "Old Wang, I've told you several times. Can you please go through the door?"

"I'm used to it. Oh, sir, don't worry about it now. The dean asked me to tell you that Li Yunrui has brought this matter to you."

Wang Qinian said anxiously, "Li Yunrui said that you met Yan Bingyun on the way to Beijing."

After hearing this, Fan Xian glanced at Leng Feibai, nodded, and said, "I have actually seen it. At that time, I saw the teacher and followed him to take a look."

"That's good!"

Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "As long as you don't know what Mr. Fei and the others are going to do, there is still room for maneuver."

Fan Xian couldn't help but bite his lip after hearing this. Wang Qinian's face darkened again when he saw this. He said, "Old Fei told you, he's trying to trick you. Now it's over. You're also under suspicion. I'm afraid this matter will be left unresolved."

Leng Feibai on the side said nothing, sneering in his heart.

Danzhou is in the southeast and Northern Qi is in the north. How could the convoys heading in different directions meet on the way if there were no regulations? Chen Ping... It should be said that the old loach behind him really laid out a good chess game.

"What did Chen Pingping say?"

"The dean wants you and Mr. Leng to go see him together. I guess this matter has failed."

"not necessarily!"

Leng Feibai said coldly, "The fact that Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun met is no small matter. If I hadn't been secretly watching him, I wouldn't have known about it."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian was stunned. "Brother Feibai, you were staring at me on the way to the capital. That's not right. According to the records of the Inspection Bureau, you arrived in Kyoto before me."

"this one……"

Leng Feibai was about to explain when a sudden noise was heard outside the courtyard.

"Let me in. I want to see Fan Xian."

Fan Xian and Leng Feibai looked at each other, and they both recognized the source of the voice.

The next moment, Guo Baokun rushed into the yard while being stopped by several servants and knelt in front of the three people.

"Go down."

Leng Feibai waved his hand, signaling the servants to go down.

Guo Baokun knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Master Xiao Fan, Master Leng, I was wrong. I shouldn't have become your enemy. Everything is my own fault. All the mistakes are mine. It has nothing to do with my father..."

As Guo Baokun spoke, he kowtowed to the two of them, leaving Fan Xian somewhat bewildered.

"Guo Baokun, you get up first."

After Leng Feibai confirmed that there were no spies around, he pulled Guo Baokun aside and said, "Your father and Li Yunrui are forming a clique for personal gain. This is not something Fan Xian and I can interfere with. Even if we could, why would we interfere?"

Guo Baokun was no fool. He recognized Leng Feibai's off-screen voice and quickly said, "Mr. Leng, as long as you can rescue my father, I, Guo Baokun, will be willing to serve you."

After hearing this, Fan Xian was about to refuse, but Leng Feibai stopped him, "Okay, then I'll give you a chance."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he took out three hundred taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Guo Baokun's pocket, saying, "Do you know about Shangjingcheng?"

Guo Baokun nodded quickly. "I've read about the capital of Northern Qi." Leng Feibai said seriously, "There's an Overlook Inn in Shangjing City. I don't care if you hire guards or go alone. I want you to arrive at that inn before the Qing Kingdom's envoy to Northern Qi arrives in Shangjing City. Wait for Fan Xian and I to find you. If you can do it, Fan Xian and I will try to rescue your father. Remember, this matter cannot be known to anyone, including your father. If anyone asks, you must answer with a hatred for me and Fan Xian."

"it is good"

Guo Baokun could only try his best at this moment. He bowed to the two of them and said, "I will definitely do it. Please."

After saying that, Guo Baokun took the banknote and left Fan Mansion.

Fan Xian took a few steps forward and asked in confusion, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Leng Feibai turned to look at Fan Xian, "Let me ask you, why did the Second Prince and the Crown Prince recommend you at the banquet that day?"

Fan Xian recalled for a moment and quickly said, "Take over the Spring Examination, but didn't His Majesty disagree?"

"Can it be the same now as it was then?"

Leng Feibai said speechlessly, "You've become a poet, and you crushed Zhuang Mohan at the banquet. If someone else recommends you, His Majesty might actually let you preside over the Spring Examination. What if someone uses the Spring Examination to set you up? What will you do? And as the Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi knows the twists and turns of the Spring Examination better than anyone else."

After hearing this, Fan Xian nodded, but wanted to ask something else.

Seeing this, Wang Qinian quickly interrupted their conversation and said, "You two, should we go find Dean Chen first?"

Inside the Inspection Court, Chen Pingping looked at the somewhat lost Fan Xian and the calm Leng Feibai, and said with a smile, "Have some of the tea I just brewed."

Fan Xian sat down next to Chen Pingping. "Old Wang told me everything. Now I..."

"Li Yunrui has already lost."

Leng Feibai interrupted Fan Xian, "Dean Chen, if I'm not mistaken, it was you who led Li Yunrui to reveal that Fan Xian had met Yan Bingyun, right?"

Chen Pingping was stunned and smiled, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but you shouldn't have said it."

"Outside the Fan Mansion, there aren't many people I can trust. You happen to be one of them."

"Then I'm quite honored!"

After Chen Pingping finished speaking, his expression changed again. "But remember, this is Kyoto. It's not good for you to speak too bluntly."

Fan Xian was stunned as he looked at the two of them. Then he thought of something and said, "You're trying to use this incident to prove that Li Yunrui is colluding with the Inspection Institute and to lure out the traitor!"

Chen Pingping nodded. "That's right. The traitor is in a high position and has great power. It will be difficult to deal with him unless we lure him out."

Leng Feibai nodded and said, "By the way, Dean Chen, Li Yunrui didn't give up and said that I was the one who betrayed Yan Bingyun."

"You didn't know Yan Bingyun went to Northern Qi, and you haven't even exchanged letters with them, so she can't slander you."

Leng Feibai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "Then when are we going to catch Zhuge?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Pingping and Fan Xian were stunned.

"Dont look at me!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "It's been rumored that before Fan Xian came to Beijing, the two most qualified to take over the Inspection Bureau were Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai. If Li Yunrui wanted to win over someone, it would definitely be one of these two. And the person arrested this time is Yan Ruohai's own son. If Li Yunrui was crazy enough to betray even the son of an ally, then Yan Ruohai would have betrayed her long ago. So it can only be that guy Zhu Ge."

Chen Pingping looked at Leng Feibai and said with a smile, "Li Yunrui can also collude with any of the other six organizers."

"Li Yunrui is not a fool. He would simultaneously deal with the two most likely candidates to become the next dean. That's a choice only an idiot would make!"

Leng Feibai glanced at the two of them and said, "Am I right?"

Chen Pingping immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel relieved knowing you're by Fan Xian's side."
