Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 132
Chapter 132 Re-encounter Ye Feng
It was obvious that Yang Kuitian had come prepared. Every word was aimed at Ye Feng, helping Li Xian save a favor.
It was self-evident that a small help could be exchanged for the support of a prince in the future. Of course, Yang Kuitian did not want to give up and changed the topic of the matter to Ye Feng.
Hearing Yang Kuitian’s words, Qi Sheng was furious in his heart, and he was unable to vent his anger in front of the Emperor.
“Reporting to the Emperor, this matter is caused by the little girl. It should be borne by our Qi Manor. If the Emperor believes that injuring the prince will be punished, please punish this old man.”
Qi Sheng knew that with Yang Kuitian’s arrival, things would definitely not be in his favor. He simply let the Emperor decide for himself that he was not willing to waste too much time with Yang Kuitian.
“Prime Minister Qi, you are giving the Emperor a hard time. Even if the Qi Family really injured the Prince, the Emperor will not do anything to the Qi Family. What are you trying to do? You want to protect a kid who has nothing to do with the Qi Family?”
Yang Kuitian sneered.
“Yang Kuitian, you’re so presumptuous. When will it be your turn to interrupt me when I speak to the Emperor?”
Qi Sheng was finally enraged. The two of them actually started to pinch each other in the hall.
“Alright, alright, both of you, stop.”
The Emperor frowned slightly. He was thinking about what happened just now. It was impossible for him to punish the Qi Clan. If the matter of injuring the prince was covered up like this, what face would the royal family have in the future?
“Humph!”
The two of them immediately separated and snorted coldly.
“Prime Minister Qi, I can ignore this matter, but if you give me a satisfactory answer, it can be considered as blocking everyone’s mouth.”
The Emperor said.
“Father, we can’t let this kid off.”
Hearing that Young Master Li Xian did not pursue Ye Feng, he hurriedly stood up and said urgently.
The Emperor glared at him angrily, scaring Young Master Li into squatting down again.
‘”Royal Master, the little girl has already betrothed to the third prince. This matter is completely a misunderstanding. It’s just a small conflict between the little couple before their marriage. There is no loss of face to the royal family. As long as the royal master announces it, the third prince and the little girl will quarrel over some trivial matters. As for no one else knows about it, isn’t this a joyous occasion for everyone?”
Qi Sheng wanted to minimize the problem.
The Emperor pondered for a moment, and his gaze inadvertently swept across Qi Sheng’s body. It seemed that he was not satisfied with Qi Sheng’s request, but there was nothing good he could do about it.
“Yang Xiang, what do you think?”
The Emperor did not say anything and asked Yang Kuitian.
“Everything will be decided by the Emperor.”
Yang Kuitian was very cunning. He knew that he would not interfere when making a decision. His goal had already been achieved. Young Master Li Xian had already done what he had asked him to do. Yang Kuitian had never thought of digging out the murderer because the Emperor did not dare to do anything to the Qi Clan. That was the main point.
‘”Since Prime Minister Qi has already said so, then the Lonely King can’t say anything else. The matter of injuring the prince is indeed disgraceful to the royal family. If we do not punish him, it will be difficult to convince the crowd. As for the Qi Family’s punishment, we will take back a bunch of troops. I don’t think Prime Minister Qi has any objections to such a punishment, right?”
Although the Emperor had forgiven this matter, he had actually taken back one troop of the Qi Clan, which was equivalent to one million people. The entire Qi Clan only had five troop of troops, accounting for 30% of the Li Yuan Kingdom, 60% of the Imperial Clan, and 30% of the Yang Clan. Now that one troop was taken away, the Qi Clan’s strength was clearly behind the Yang Clan.
Prime Minister Qi’s complexion was ashen and irrefutable. This was the best outcome. He had saved Ye Feng, but he had lost his troops. If he handed Ye Feng over, his troops could be preserved. However, the Qi Family’s face was completely lost. No matter what choice Qi Sheng made, he would lose one thing. Whether it was his troops or his face, the Qi Manor could not afford to lose it.
“Thank you, Royal Lord. I have no objections!”
Under Yang Kuitian’s sneer, Qi Sheng clasped his fist and did not refute.
“Alright. Everything is happy. Today, the two of you arrived at the same time. I have prepared a banquet. Why don’t we have a drink together?”
The Emperor laughed heartily.
“Back to the Emperor, I still have a lot of trivial matters to deal with personally at home. I won’t drink with the Emperor anymore. I’ll drink with the Emperor when I have the chance in the future.”
Qi Sheng refused.
“Oh, that’s right. The Equipment Refining Competition is coming up in a few days. Both of you should be very busy. Then I won’t delay you. I hope that both of you can bring out the best Equipment Refiners and hold a grand Equipment Refining Competition.”
The Emperor did not ask to stay.
After saying that, Qi Sheng and Yang Kuitian retreated together. The two of them snorted coldly and parted ways.
“Royal Father, why didn’t you find that kid? I want to personally kill him.”
Young Master Li Xian did not understand why Father Emperor had let this brat go.
‘”Silly child, do you think father doesn’t want to avenge you? If you really are in a hurry, I won’t be able to take back this troop. Speaking of which, father still has to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to take back so many troops. Qi Sheng, this old fox, will definitely be furious when he returns.”
After the Emperor finished speaking, he laughed loudly. His child had been injured, and it was worth it to exchange for a bunch of troops.
“Pa!”
Returning to the Qi Clan, Qi Sheng slapped the table and was extremely angry.
“Old Master Qi Sha, this old fox Li Tian Sha has a good plan. From the beginning, he wanted to take back our Qi Clan’s troops.”
Qi Sheng’s fury shattered all the tea utensils on the table.
“Father, please calm down. Since the matter has been settled, we are working on a long-term plan. We can slowly build up our forces. In a few years, our Qi Clan will be on equal footing with the Yang Clan.”
Qi Liang hurriedly comforted. Since everything had happened, getting angry would not solve any problems.
“You go down first, I’ll be alone!”
Qi Sheng waved his hand and let Qi Liang go down first.
“That child will retire!”
After Qi Liang finished speaking, he quickly retreated from his father’s study.
The matter of the Qi Clan taking away a bunch of troops quickly spread throughout the entire Qi Clan. All sorts of discussions broke out frequently. The matter of Ye Feng injuring the prince had already been known. Some people thought that Ye Feng did the right thing. After all, he had helped the young miss. Others thought that Ye Feng was too busy. In any case, the young miss would sooner or later be Young Master Li Xian’s people.
“Ye Feng, please don’t mind, don’t listen to what others say.”
In a courtyard, Qi Ruomei was afraid that Ye Feng would have any ideas, so she hurriedly comforted him.
“Senior Sister Qi, don’t worry about me. I intend to leave tomorrow and finish the task as soon as possible so that I can go back and continue cultivating.”
Ye Feng intended to leave the Qi Clan. In any case, the matter had been settled and there was no need to stay.
“You’re leaving so soon, aren’t you willing to stay for a few more days?”
Qi Ruomei stared at Ye Feng, seemingly unwilling to let Ye Feng leave. From the very beginning, she ignored this youth and gradually became unable to see through him.
“There is no need to stay any longer.”
Ye Feng had made up his mind. Although he hadn’t gone to the academy for long, Ye Feng still didn’t want to drag it out for too long.
“Since that’s the case, then I won’t force you to stay.”
Qi Ruomei was a little sad as she turned around and looked at the lotus pond.
“Miss, Master Ku knows that you’re back. He wants to see you.”
At this time, a maidservant walked over and said to Qi Ruomei.
“Oh, please!”
Qi Ruomei seemed to be very concerned about Master Ku.
“Since you have a guest, I’ll take my leave first!”
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he was about to leave.
“Junior Brother Ye, “You don’t have to leave. I can introduce you to Master Ku. He is the best artificer in our Qi Clan. Furthermore, he is very close to me. When I was young, I liked to watch Master Ku forge artifacts. I always feel a sense of familiarity. From now on, as long as Master Ku forges artifacts, I will be watching from the side. However, that was several years ago.”
Qi Ruomei hurriedly said.
“You like forging?”
Ye Feng asked.
‘”No, I don’t like forging, but I like watching Master Ku forge. I’m always very familiar with the feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water. I haven’t seen Master Ku forge since I joined the academy.”
Qi Ruomei said.
In just a few dozen breaths of time, a burly man walked in.
“Xiao Mei, why don’t you go back to the Imperial City and see me?”
A rough voice appeared and a man in his thirties walked in.
“Am I not free yet? Please forgive me, Master Ku.”
Qi Ruomei was very respectful.
“Hey, Ye brat, why are you here?”
Master Ku’s gaze suddenly fell on Ye Feng, extremely shocked.
“Kid greets Master Ku.”
Ye Feng smiled bitterly. He did not expect to meet Master Ku here. He remembered that he was the best artificer in the Qi Clan, so he was relieved.
“You know each other?”
Qi Ruomei was shocked in place. Ye Feng had only just arrived at the Imperial City, so how could he know Master Ku?
“We know each other. Not only do we know each other, we also know each other forever. I, Master Ku, respect Brother Ye very much.”
Speaking of Ye Feng, Grandmaster Ku changed his previous image and had a solemn expression, even a trace of reverence.
“Master Ku is joking. How can this junior He De be respected by Master Ku?”
Ye Feng said awkwardly.
“Wait, what exactly is going on? How did you know each other?”
This was the second time in a day that Qi Ruomei’s brain had been short-circuited, so she couldn’t turn around.
“Hahaha!”
Seeing Qi Ruomei’s puzzled expression, Master Ku and Ye Feng both burst into laughter. Ye Feng and Master Ku had a kind of pity for each other, which outsiders could not understand.
“You all bullied me. Hurry up and tell me, how did you know each other?”
Qi Ruomei was angry.
“Let’s go, let’s ignore this silly girl. Let’s talk on the side!”
Master Ku actually hugged Ye Feng’s shoulder, ignoring the angry Qi Ruomei standing at the side, they both left this place.
Qi Ruomei kicked her little foot and helplessly followed, wanting to know what was going on.
The three of them arrived at the center of the courtyard. There was a table here, and they sat down at the same time.
“Xiao Mei, I just received news that you injured the prince. What exactly is going on?”
It turned out that Master Ku had come here for this matter, or else he wouldn’t have come here on purpose.
“So you already know.”
Qi Ruomei smiled bitterly without explaining.
“Then the rumors outside are all true?”
Before Master Ku came, he had already made a thorough investigation, so he came to see Xiao Mei. He wanted to comfort her, but he did not expect to see Ye Feng.
