"Why don't you say that you fell off a cliff by accident and passed it down from the old man in the cave?"
"You have to at least let me finish this job, right?"
"It makes sense!
I'm now writing down a family-inherited cultivation method~
"I can only offer you some excuses."
The person who truly decides whether or not to arrest you is my boss.
"If you can help Yu Wei catch the mastermind behind the disappearance, perhaps they won't pursue the matter against you."
To take, you must first give.
Although the Imperial Guards will still investigate thoroughly, they will not directly arrest people and put them in jail.
"However, you probably won't have that chance."
boom--
As soon as he finished speaking, the signal flare rose into the sky again.
Cui Xia's expression changed; this was a signal flare to assemble Bai Yu!
How come Gray Feather couldn't defeat his opponent even after arriving at the scene?
"Prepare well!"
I will come back to find you!
Without the slightest hesitation, Cui Xia rushed out of the Xin family compound.
Su Chen's arrest was merely a sideline; the Feather Guards' real mission was to capture the troublemaking demons.
"This world is really not peaceful."
The hidden guards were thrown into a frenzy.
I wish I could stay with the Xin family.
At least there are servants and guards here, which is better than my secluded alley.
Su Chen pursed his lips and picked up the golden lock rope from the ground.
Just as he was about to gather paper and pen to write down the "ancestral secret manual," the small room was pushed open from the outside.
An old man and a middle-aged man knelt down the moment they saw him.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Chapter 45 Who exactly is making a living by selling calligraphy in this family?
Xin Quan and his companion were already skeptical of Xin Shuo's claim that the Feather Guards had plotted to capture Su Chen.
This is like a servant arresting the master of the house.
It's lawless!
The moment the door was opened, Su Chen was the only one left in the room, holding the golden lock rope unique to the Feather Guards.
Both of them, without prior arrangement, had their legs buckle and knelt down.
Damn Xin Shuo!
That's really hard to defend against!
Wasn't it said that the Imperial Guards were to arrest the other party?
How come it's still standing perfectly fine?
And he was also holding the Feather Guard's belongings!
They had never heard of a prisoner captured by the Feather Guards still being able to play with the Feather Guards' golden lock rope!
Xin Shuo, that little rascal, he's such a troublemaker!
Su Chen was startled and wondered who these two were when Xin Shuo walked in from outside.
"Young Master Xin, who are these two gentlemen?"
“My father, my grandfather.”
Xin Shuo's eyelids twitched, and he tried to pull the two kneeling people up.
Unexpectedly, despite his efforts, the two of them remained completely still.
"Please rise, gentlemen. Have you mistaken me for someone else?"
I am just an ordinary scholar, how can I be considered an adult?
Su Chen quickly stepped forward.
Unexpectedly, the two of them crouched even lower.
"grown ups!
Please stop testing me!
The Xin family would never harbor any disloyal intentions!
The father and son shouted in unison, as if they had made a pact.
These few words completely stunned Su Chen.
Where is this going?
"I am really just a scholar."
My parents were both locals, but they didn't have the chance to enjoy a good life; they passed away early.
This information is readily available online; you can check it out if you don't believe me.
I dare not say anything else, but Su Chen knows this personal information by heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to play the role so well during his time here.
Xin and Quan smiled bitterly. Who didn't know that Lord Pei was once famous in the capital?
Investigate him?
Regardless of how meticulous the Imperial Guards are, if they dare to investigate, their names will likely be added to the list of those to be investigated.
“I dare not!
"Please feel free to speak your orders, sir!"
Su Chen and Xin Shuo exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Xin Shuo smiled wryly and spread his hands, indicating that he had no way to help.
"You may leave now. I will contact you if I need anything."
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Xin Quan and the other man left without hesitation.
As for why they wouldn't let Xin Shuo go out, neither of them even asked. Daring to interfere in Prime Minister Pei's affairs was like asking for trouble.
"Did they mistake me for someone else?"
How can I explain this?
After the two left, Su Chen lowered his voice and asked Xin Shuo.
"Sigh, they've mistaken you for the leader of the Feather Guard."
I've explained this countless times; if they even believed it, things wouldn't be like this.
Xin Shuo sighed; he had observed Su Chen countless times.
This is clearly an ordinary young man. How could he possibly be Prime Minister Pei, who has held a high position for many years?
The guards did not bind or detain him, perhaps for other reasons.
How did you get so stuck in a rut and couldn't get out?
"The leader of the Feather Guard?"
"Oh, it's the previous boss."
The current Imperial Guards are directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Family and are not under the jurisdiction of any other organization.
As for the previous one, he has been dead for over twenty years.
How could that possibly happen?
"By the way, Brother Su, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-three."
"That's right! The ages don't match either!"
"Young Master Xin, could you please find me some paper and pen? I need to write something."
The room was too small and didn't have many things in it. He had just looked around but couldn't find any paper or pen.
"no problem.
I'll go get it for you right away.
"Never mind, you'd better come with me."
Xin Shuo glanced at the small room, then strode out the door with Su Chen.
As soon as Su Chen stepped out of the room, he saw the Xin family patriarch and the family head hurriedly hiding in a corner.
They acted as if they were afraid of being discovered.
Su Chen was very curious: who was the previous commander of the Feather Guard?
It's astonishing that even the patriarch of such a powerful clan would turn pale at the mere mention of his name.
Xin Shuo led the person into the room, and just as he stepped out, he was about to instruct the servants to bring up the writing implements.
When I looked up, I saw my father and grandfather standing in front of me.
