Chapter 875: The City Lord Is Not Home

The Mansion of the Lord of Gorge Peak.

In the eyes of outsiders, the City Lord's Mansion has not changed much. Even if the court was openly robbed when the members of the Nightingale were publicly executed some time ago, which made the City Lord's Mansion lose face, it would not shake the rule of the City Lord's Mansion. The Xiafeng Mountain area is still surnamed Wei, and no one dares to say no to the order issued by the City Lord's Mansion.

However, the officials inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion had only seen Wei Tianqi once after that day. Wei Tianqi confessed that he was going to retreat and cultivate, and he never saw anyone again. The affairs inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion are now handed over to Wei Chao and Wei Yang, the two most trusted guardians of Wei Tianqi. And these two are also the only ones who know that Wei Tianqi is actually not in the mansion at this time. But in order to conceal this, when encountering some tricky situations, the two of them would still pretend to ask the city lord in retreat for instructions from time to time, and fake the situation that Wei Tianqi was still in the mansion. So far, no one has aroused any suspicion.

Unlike the last time he went to Nantian Academy for further study, Wei Tianqi's true whereabouts this time were not even told to Wei Chao and Wei Yang, and it was obviously not suitable for being made public. The two of them didn't know when Wei Tianqi would be able to come back, so they could only take on these things. After all, the two of them are just the guards of the Wei family, and they don't have the actual position of the Xuanjun Empire. The status and power of the Wei family are still there, and their status is far more conspicuous than that of many officials, but if the Wei family loses power, it may be difficult to say about their future. So the two didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, nor did they dare to have any objections.

Fortunately, it didn't take a lot of time for a few days. The members of the nightingale who escaped never showed up again, and Lu Ping never returned after leaving Xiafeng City, but there was some news from Zhiling City, I heard that Lu Ping really hit the Courtyard Supervisory Committee, and when he finally left from Zhiling City, he also killed a way.

This is the number one enemy of the Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion, and he is the person who has always been in the heart of Wei Tianqi's revenge, but now he has become so powerful, which makes Wei Chao and Wei Yang very uncomfortable.

But what made the two of them collapse was still to come: a few days after Lu Ping left Zhiling City, an order issued by Emperor Xuan himself was delivered to the mansion, and the wanted warrant for Lu Ping who had been hanging for a year was revoked, and the Wind Picking Academy, which had been banned for a year, was allowed to be restored.

All parties see the order and act cheaply.

The last sentence of the imperial decree made Wei Chao and Wei Yang look at each other, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Parties?

What are the parties to this? For other jurisdictions, it is enough to tear down the wanted warrants and ignore these people from now on. But for their Xiafeng District, these people have a personal enmity with the city lord, so they can just take a break? There is also the Wind Picking Academy, which is originally on the boundary of the Xiafeng District, and this recovery is also a matter for their Xiafeng District. There is no hospital supervision committee in Xiafeng District, so it is cheap...... This sounded like it was specifically addressed to their Gorge Peak City Lord's Mansion.

But now that the city lord Wei Tianqi is not here, how to deal with this matter Wei Chao and Wei Yang discussed it for a few days and didn't come up with anything. In short, I first unveiled the wanted notices posted all over the city. As for the matter of resuming the Wind Picking Academy, the two of them were determined not to take the initiative until they received any clear instructions.

There was nothing going on in the mansion this day, and the two got together, and they inevitably muttered again. The whereabouts of Wei Tianqi, as well as the outstanding imperial decree of Xuan Jun, are all issues that the two of them have to discuss one hundred and eighty times a day. They sent spies to investigate, but they didn't get anything.

In desperation, he suddenly saw the guards guarding the door rushing towards the two of them in a panic.

"Two adults, it's not good!" Before the man could reach him, the guards had already shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" Wei Chao frowned at the guards' panic.

"Lu Ping is here!" shouted the guard.

"What?" Wei Chao stood up in shock, and there was a snap beside him, and the tea bowl in Wei Yang's hand fell directly to the ground, falling into powder.

Wei Yang is still like this, where is Wei Chao to blame his subordinates for panicking, not to mention that he himself is not much better, that is, the tea bowl was not served in his hand just now, otherwise even if he didn't fall, it is very likely that he will spill half a bowl.

"Where are you?" Wei Chao asked anxiously.

"Here it is. It wasn't the guards who answered him, it was Lu Ping and his party directly. The dignified city lord's mansion, the supreme ruling body of the entire jurisdiction, but they are like walking in the back garden, and they enter as they say. There were guards on their left and right, but they didn't dare to draw their swords, they didn't dare to draw their swords, and their faces were full of shame. It seems that they also know that their guard is very derelict in their duties, but if they really want to go up and stop it, no one dares to stop it. A bunch of guards seemed to be entourage, so they escorted Lu Ping and his party in, and looked at Wei Chao and Wei Yang together at this time. The two of them were in a trance and couldn't tell whether this was their man or not.

"What about Wei Tianqi?" After coming in, he still didn't see the main master, and Lu Ping immediately asked.

"The city lord is in retreat and cultivation......" Wei Chao said this lie that lasted for many days with difficulty, and his heart went up and down. If these people insist on looking for Wei Tianqi, how can he stop it? Isn't everything going to be exposed? As soon as the news comes out again, won't the sky in the Xiafeng District change?

"Oh, who do you talk to now?" Lu Ping said immediately.

"Huh?" Wei Chaozheng was in a panic and despair, but he didn't expect Lu Ping to say this next, and he was stunned for a while. After staying for a while, he hurriedly said, "Tell me something." ”

"We're going to rebuild the Wind Academy. Lu Ping said.

"The old site of the Wind Picking Academy has not been requisitioned yet, so please take care of it. Wei Chao said immediately.

"It's that simple?" Lu Ping was surprised.

Of course it's not that simple!" Wei Chao said in his heart, but nodded affirmatively on his face. For now, he only hopes that these people will leave as soon as possible, as for what formalities are stipulated...... Don't talk about that, just be happy.

"Oh, excuse me. After Lu Ping received an affirmative answer, he nodded, and immediately several people turned around and left.

This time, the guards didn't move, Wei Chao didn't move, everyone watched together, and after a long time, Wei Chao came back to his senses, sat back in his position a little blankly, and turned his head to look at Wei Yang.

Wei Yang sat aside. Hearing the news that Lu Ping was coming, he didn't react after dropping a tea bowl. He didn't stand up or speak when the group came in, he seemed to freeze on the moment when he heard the news, and he hadn't lifted it until now.

"Wei Yang. Wei Chao screamed, but did not respond.

"Wei Yang!" This time he used a little Mingzhi, and Wei Yang beside him finally became a spirit, and his expression began to move.

"Gone?" he said.

"Gone. Wei Chao said.

Wei Yang's face was still pale, but he finally let out a sigh and stood up in a trance.

Wei Chao noticed that the chair was actually wet.

"You...... Pee?" Wei Chao was stunned, wanting to laugh, but couldn't.

Wei Yang looked back, didn't show any shame, just shook his head and said, "No, it's Khan." ”

Wei Chao didn't go into detail whether it was urine or sweat, in short, Wei Yang was scared very badly. He was different from many people, such as Wei Chao, who only had to conflict with Luping because of his allegiance to the Lord. And Wei Yang had some personal grudges with Lu Ping in the process, so it is understandable that he is more afraid.

But Lu Ping, they don't seem to have seen this guy basically, right? Wei Chao recalled the short moment when Lu Ping and them came and went, and just talked to him, and didn't pay attention to anything around.

"Why are they here?" Wei Yang asked at this time. He was so nervous that he didn't know what was going on.

"They're going to rebuild the Wind Academy. Wei Chao said.
