章節 85: Unfilial and Unfair
Fu Mansion
“Boom!” A fork lightning burst forth from darkness and pierced through the night sky before a thunder rumbled. It was rare sight to see lightning and thunder in winter. Pei Zi Yun was startled awake. He sat up, and from the corner of his eyes he saw a Daoist person walking in stealthily. Without hesitation he reached for his sword and stood up, before shouting, “Who is it?”
His thumb was placed on the blade of the sword, ready to unsheathe it the minute a need arose, and cut this intruder down. The intruder was suddenly aware that Pei Zi Yun was awake. He froze on the spot and raise his head to look at Pei Zi Yun. He looked into Pei Zi Yun’s eyes, full of killing intent, before emitting a loud and sharp shriek, “Ahhhhhhh!”
Hearing this scream, Pei Zi Yun reacted and threw his sword over to the side and lit up a candle. Under the brightness of the ember, he looked at his senior sister, the little girl, Chu Xia crying before him. He had frightened her.
Pei Zi Yun hurriedly stepped forward to console her, but she turned around and ran away. In between sobs, she shouted, “Bad person. You are a bad junior brother.”
Pei Zi Yun could not help but slap his own forehead. He had a nightmare and was awakened by the lightning. Then he felt the presence of someone in the room, and decided to draw his sword. Who would’ve expected it to be Chu Xia. This little girl was sure to remember this for a long time.
After sometime, Yu Yun Jun’s voice could be heard outside his door, "What’ve you done, little Xia is scared stiff. She’s been crying since, and when I asked her what’s happened, she refused to speak.”
Pei Zi Yun immediately went to receive his master as he forced a laugh, “Master, I was having a nightmare and was startled awake by the thunder and lightning. I then saw someone crept into my room, hence I drew my sword, I’m afraid I might have scared off senior sister then.”
Pei Zi Yun spoke frankly. Hearing his words, Yu Yun Jun waved her hands, “Your senior sister is indeed very playful. It’s good that she had been startled. It’s a lesson learnt for her.”
As she spoke, her smile vanished from her face as she took a few steps back, "As for your policy on Exterminating Pirates, I’ve already reported it to the higher ups within the sect. It’s a brilliant policy which would help the imperial court. You’ve even made a request to the Governor to confer this sect an additional title. This is the extent of your loyalty. Orders have been dispatched from above as well. This is only just the first step. I hope you’ll continuing using your talents to help both country and the sect.”
When Pei Zi Yun heard this, he was elated. He knew that doing something like that meant that he has finally appeared on the radars of Free Cloud Sect’s upper echelon. He was about to reply.
Yu Yun Jun then continued, “The Governor has decided to make a recommendation to the imperial court to confer the title on our sect. He has ordered Liao Ge to see it through, and the sect already knows about this. According to convention, the Governor will send Liao Ge to the capital, where he will overlook all these matters. The sect wanted to send Song Zhi to accompany Liao Ge on his journey but I rejected that idea. This was all possible because of your contributions. Hence, if anyone decides to say anything about this matter, ignore it and come straight to me.”
When Pei Zi Yun heard this, he understood his master’s concerns. Song Zhi had been coveting this position for so long that he would grab as much credit as he can, and yet had been flat out rejected by Yu Yun Jun, "Thank you Master for your concern and protection. I understand what you’ve done and will not be deceived by anyone.”
“You’ve always been bright and thus I’m not too worried. However, you’re still young and haven’t experienced much, and thus might be be taken advantage of.” Yu Yun Jun laughed.
“Thank you for your love and concern.” Pei Zi Yun replied, as he felt a warm glow within his heart.
Yu Yun Jun waved her hands and said, “This time, you will escort the official to the capital. It’s not a big deal, but the journey is long and there could be problems along the way. I’ve arranged for someone to bring a magical item from Green Cloud Monastery. You should take it along with you then, and take it as an experience to learn something from.”
Pei Zi Yun stepped forward and bowed deeply, “Thank you Master.”
Governor’s Mansion
The Governor sat perched high up within his chair, Liao Ge walked in and bowed before him, "Your excellency, the memorandum requesting for a title has been completed. Take a look.”
The Governor retrieved it and started reading. When he was done, he smiled and nodded his head, “You are rather efficient. This matter requires someone to actively handle it. You will represent me and make the trip to the capital and tell my old friends about this matter and they shall assist you accordingly.”
When Liao Ge heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, for this was a cushy task to do. Going to the capital on behalf of one of the highest ranking officials in the nation, talking to his friends and getting acquainted with them was beneficial for his career. In future, people will recognize him and there will hardly be any obstructions when it comes to promotion. He hurriedly fell to his knees, “Thank you for you grace, your excellency, I will not let this fail even if I were to die a thousand deaths. I will do everything in my power to ensure this goes through.”
The Governor laughed when he heard this. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, “Your excellency Liao, go to the waiting room and wait. There’s someone I have to meet. I shall see you again later.”
“Yes, your excellency.” Liao Ge happily retreated.
“Mister Pei seeks an audience!” Before long, someone reported and the Governor nodded his head and replied, “Enter!”
The sound of footsteps echoed off the walls in the meeting room. The sound of falling snow could also be heard. Within the halls, a pot of tea was boiling and ready for consumption. Before long, a man stepped before the Governor.
Pei Zi Yun was dressed in a grey, immaculate rob and was wearing a red sash across his waist. His footsteps made a soft sound as he bowed, “Respects to the Governor.”
“Top Scorer Pei please rise!” Since Pei Zi Yun refused his offer, the Governor thus didn’t refer to him as mister. He smiled and said, “You’ve come at the right time. Please have a sit. We’ve already drafted the memorandum to be presented to the imperial court regarding the conferring of a title upon your sect. However, you have to know that the approval is up to the discretion of the imperial court and the Emperor, I have no control from here on.”
“But according to convention, as long as there is a valid reason, and with recommendation from me, the imperial court would not deny the motion. I shall send Liao Ge to retrieve the documents regarding your sect, and ensure that everything is in order. We will then inform the imperial court of your contribution and humbly request for them to confer the tile. Then, all you have left to do is await the good news.”
“Many thanks your excellency. Since your excellency has sent Liao Ge on this trip, I would like to accompany him so that I can explore the city and get to know people. At the same time I am able to ensure his safety on the road.”
The Governor laughed hard when he heard Pei Zi Yun and said, “You’re really worried about me aren’t you. But that’s good for you as well. You’re a young man, and should be out more. Reading a thousand books, and walking a thousand miles would help to increase your wisdom.”
The Governor pondered for sometime before saying, “I have many friends in the capital. I shall write you a letter, so that you can present it should you meet any problems along the way.”
Pei Zi Yun smiled, “Many thanks your excellency.”
After some small talk, Pei Zi Yun bade farewell and walked him out to the entrance. The Governor watched him leave before a gust of wind blew right at him, causing him to hold himself tight, before turning back in.
Hou Mansion
Snowflakes fell prettily all over the yard as the wind was howling in the distance, causing the guards outside to shiver in the cold, and yet they endured the cold wordlessly.
“Father, you know my heart’s desires. Why is there a need to force me? For matters regarding Hou Mansion, there’s big brother. For matters regarding the imperial court, there’s second brother. Why would you force me to participate in official affairs? I have no heart for this, and you can’t force it out of me.” Wei Ang said sheepishly in the study.
The people standing outside the study room all maintained an expressionless face, as if they couldn’t hear anything. There were guards standing outside the room, preventing anyone from entering and leaving.
“Since you refuse to participate in official affairs with me, then I forbid you from participating in Free Cloud Sect’s affairs. And you have to stop meeting Pei Zi Yun from now.” Ji Bei Hou spoke, his face in evident displeasure. He took a few steps forward as he spoke to Wei Ang.
Wei Ang heard this and was shocked, “Father, I refuse participate in official affairs, but what has this got to do with Free Cloud Sect?”
Ji Bei Hou was in bad mood and threw the file he was holding, and it hit Wei Ang right in the face. Wei Ang picked up the file and took a look. It was about Pei Zi Yun helping the Governor with the policy on Exterminating Pirates. He then paused and said, “Father, this policy was cooked up by Pei Zi Yun? He is indeed a genius to have made such a great contribution to society and bring blessing to the people.”
When Ji Bei Hou heard this, he lashed out in anger, “Third son, you have always wanted to be free of responsibility. I shipped you off to Free Cloud Sect, and allowed you to do as you pleased. It looks like I’ve raised you up wrongly, for you to be unable to see what’s happening. Now that the pirates are no longer an issue, my military might and authority will be recalled by the imperial court. Then what use am I to the court? I will just be an official used to do chores and run errands. You care about the benefits for the population, but fail to see that Hou Mansion will dissolve? Without Hou Mansion, how can you be free and easy?”
When Wei Ang heard this, he fell into silence for a long time before speaking, "I ask for father’s forgiveness, for I am unable to contribute to official matters. Especially this issue that we are speaking of.”
When Ji Bei Hou heard these words, he got even angrier, but he suppressed them and spoke through clenched jaws, “Since you are not willing to help me, then you can forget about going to Free Cloud Sect. Now that Pei Zi Yun took the side of the Governor, he has made me an enemy. I have to kill him at all costs. And I shall stop contributing and helping Free Cloud Sect from here on.”
“Father, since you’ve already made your decision, I shall abide, there’s nothing left to say.” Wei Ang grit his teeth as he spoke.
“Fine, fine. It seems like you have some backbone. Since that’s the case, I shall keep you locked up here within this house, and you shall not be permitted to go anywhere.” Ji bei Hou’s face was stern as he said fiercely.
“Yes, many thanks to father for such an arrangement.” Wei Ang took a bow, before turning around and walking further into the room. Seeing his son act this way, Ji Bei Hou couldn’t hold his anger in any longer, and threw the teacup he was holding with all his might onto the floor, where it shattered into a thousand fragments, “Disgraceful!”
Shen Zhi was outside waiting when he heard the sound of porcelain smashing on the ground. He knew that this wasn’t a good sign. Young Master Hou must’ve incurred the wrath of Master Hou. Shen Zhi was extremely anxious, when he saw Wei Ang walk out from the other exit of the room. He then walked up to him, “Third Young Master, why must you act like this. Please just agree to whatever Master Hou wants, why must you go against his wishes?”
Wei Ang shook his head as he heard Shen Zhi speaking and looked away. After sometime, he then spoke, “Mister Shen, you’ve watched me grow up from a little boy to who I am today. You know what I’m like and what my interests are. There’s big brother and second brother in the house and there’s father handling administrative official affairs, why would I need to be a part of this too!”
“Particularly this matter, where our family wealth is built on blood.”
Shen Zhi knew about what Ji Bei Hou was going to say to Wei Ang today. After waiting anxiously for their conversation to be over, he saw Wei Ang and thus decided to advise him, “Third Young Master, I know you are intelligent and you refuse to compete with your brothers. However, when it comes to a dilemma you have to pick what’s right….. No matter what, you and Master Hou are father and son. Regardless of what happens, that will never change.”
“Ai!” Wei Ang took a deep breath and sighed, interrupting Shen Zhi, he asked, “It’s just that I refuse to choose. All I want to be is unfettered and free to do as I wish. Does that mean I am an unfilial and unfair person?”
Shen Zhi looked at Wei Ang, and felt that this was a peculiar thing for him to say, “Young Master, why would you think that way?”
“Between my father, my sect and my good friend, I have to make a choice, ha ha!” Wei Ang stepped across the snow and laughed again, "For my father, I am unable to help in his endeavors. For my sect and friends, I wish to do well and excel by myself. Doesn’t that imply that I am unfilial and unfair?”
“Young Master” Shen Zhi called out, his tone was severe, "How can one always have the best of both worlds. Young Master have always been free and at ease, and yet you always had the comforts of Hou Mansion. Now that Hou Mansion is in trouble, shouldn’t Young Master reconsider your position? The sect and your friends are outsiders. Hou Mansion is your root. You have to be aware of this, and act accordingly.”
Hearing Shen Zhi speak this way, Wei Ang did not reply for a very long time and remained deep in thought.
Looking at Wei Ang, Shen Zhi understood that he was confused, in doubt and in pain. He then added, “Yes, Pei Zi Yun is a genius, but he has used his talents to stab a knife in the body of Hou Mansion. From this, he is able to grow and benefit from the situation we are in. The more he benefits, the worse off we become. Has Young Master considered this?”
Shen Zhi’s words were as sharp as a dagger and pierced into the heart of Wei Ang, "An official’s career and life is always about moving forward. Once a person’s official career stalls, everything is over. Do you wish to see your brothers and father, and mother all be executed for treason?”
Shen Zhi then asked, punctuating every word with a pause, “I have some plans that are extremely sly and vile. Do you remember Ji Guo Gong?”
“Ji Guo Gong fought on behalf of the imperial courts and suffered 11 wounds to his body. However, at the end he had his entire house and possessions confiscated and searched. His entire sect of 111 people were executed. He was a loyal, straightforward and upright subject of the court, and look what happened to him?”
“You care about Pei Zi Yun, but does Pei Zi Yun care about you?”
Wei Ang took a step back, his heart felt as though it had been crushed. A mouthful of blood came up from his throat into his mouth. He turned around, bent over and spat the mouthful of blood out.
章節 86: Turning Misfortune to Fortune
When Shen Zhi walked in, Ji Bei Hou was still fuming in anger, found it hard to contain, "Shen Zhi, you’ve always said that my third son was intelligent as a child. Look how he has grown up and refuses to cooperate with me. Worse, he refuses to spare a thought for the Hou Mansion. Infuriating.”
“Master Hou, Third Young Master is still hazy about the details but he will eventually come through for us. Give him a couple of days to get his thoughts sorted out.” Shen Zhi encouraged. Seeing the cup being smashed on the ground, he shouted, “Men, come and clear this mess.”
Several servants entered the room and removed the shards from the floor wordlessly, and left without a sound as soon as the place was clean.
At this moment, someone called out, “Master Hou, Daoist Leader Li is here.”
Ji Bei Hou and Shen Zhi glanced across at each other before Ji Bei Hou said, “Let him in!”
Ji Bei Hou then regained his usual composure and demeanor and started sipping his tea. A Daoist man entered the room and bowed, “Master Hou, Mister Shen, this Daoist extends his regards.”
Shen Zhi glanced at the Daoist, who was dressed in his Daoist robes and looked very neat. He had grown a long beard and looked extremely otherworldly. For some strange reason, Shen Zhi felt repulsed by him and asked coldly, “Why isn’t Daoist cultivating within the mountains, and instead has come to Hou Mansion?”
The Daoist bowed and replied plainly, “This Daoist has come to preach.”
Shen Zhi did not expect the Daoist to be this forthright, and laughed, “Preaching isn’t solely about speech. I wonder if this Daoist has any other abilities?”
The Daoist scrutinized Shen Zhi before saying, “You’re right, there are hundreds of Daoist sects under the heavens and we do not even need to speak to gain believers. But today, I shall use only speech. You are a very talented man, in fact, you were a prodigy as a kid. It’s a shame you took the wrong route.”
Shen Zhi smiled coldly, “Tell me more.”
The Daoist man continued, “Aside from reading your fortune based on your features, and aside from your destiny, I can tell you were a prodigy. At the age of six you started reading books, at nine you started writing essays. By ten, everyone could tell you were a child prodigy. You had good literary skills and yet you could only attain Elementary Scholar because you incurred the envy of some officials. You have a strong and stubborn personality but you often doubt your own skills, and wonder how you would fare against Pei Zi Yun?”
Shen Zhi’s smile remained etched across his face. The Daoist then sighed and continued, “Aside from mastering the 4 Books and 5 Classics, you understand a great deal about paintings and music. Third Young Master can paint very well, I assume he learnt it all from you?”
“It’s a pity that all these, won’t help with your life or destiny in any way.”
These words cut like a knife. The Daoist man started pacing around the room as he laughed, “One might wish to alter one’s destiny, one’s political career, one’s cultivation, military career or to become rich and prosperous.”
“You were born in hardships and poverty. With such talents, if you had remained quiet and low profile, you might have been able to become a High Scholar. And yet you searched for fame when you were younger, and shocked the entire county and region with your great works. You incurred the jealousy and envy of many officials around you, and thus turned them against you. In order to stand out, one would need to keep the lid over a heating pot until it starts to boil. Only then would people have nothing to say. Without honing your literary skills to perfection before taking the examinations, how were you going to become a High Scholar, how were you going to alter your fate?”
“Thirty years later, your fate has settled, and you have to rely on someone else in order to succeed. An example would be a housefly, which would only travel a few meters after flying for a long time. And yet all it has to do was to land on the tail of the horse in order to travel a thousand miles.”
The meaning of this was that all these skills that Shen Zhi had acquired, including painting and making music, were not talents that one could develop into something useful. Furthermore his education didn’t have the best track record, and thus the best he could for himself was to rely on the success of someone else.
Ji Bei Hou looked at Shen Zhi and realized that he was stumped, and his face was pale. He then laughed and said, “What about me? I do not wish to hear the good. I only wish to hear what’s useful to me, and what would threaten me. Please speak.”
The Daoist laughed, “Master Hou breath of life goes like this. Master Hou came from a very noble background and was bound to be very successful. However, your cloud of success has already passed. There was actually a chance to turn this all around, about a month ago. Then, Master Hou’s fortunes were at a turning point, and looked extremely optimistic, whereas the Governor’s fortunes looked extremely bleak. However, after a turn of events, your fortunes are now opposites of what they used to be.”
“Not only would Master Hou find it hard to move, there’s even a deathly aura above you.”
Ji Bei Hou looked extremely displeased, and he looked as if he could kill anyone before him, and yet the Daoist man was calm and collected. The Daoist man glaced at Ji Bei Hou, and he snapped back to reality. Ji Bei Hou knew that this Daoist man was speaking the truth and not a con artist. In fact, he had Holy Jail Sect supporting him. He then turned around and smiled, “Daoist leader, you know why I’ve invited you here.”
“I know, Master Hou wishes to deal with the Governor but Free Cloud Sect refuses to take action. Seeing that he was left with no other options, Master Hou decided to seek us out.” The Daoist man said matter of factly.
Ji Bei Hou maintained his composure and smiled, “It’s good that Daoist knows this.”
The Daoist turned around and looked at Shen Zhi, “Mister Shen, I've told you to convince Master Hou to turn his back on Free Cloud Sect. Our sect thinks very well of the Hou family.”
He then looked at Ji Bei Hou, “Master Hou, the pirates were part of our doing in assisting Master Hou in his plan. I believe Master Hou is aware of Holy Jail Sect’s sincerity in helping you. It's a shame that Master Hou chose to take the side of Free Cloud Sect. At least now you know that they are not reliable. It's still not too late for Master Hou.”
“Destiny is somewhat fixed, although it can be altered by the course of actions taken. Now is not the time for Master Hou to give up.”
Ji Bei Hou reached for a new cup of tea and started sipping. He then said, “Daoist leader, since you are already here, let’s discuss what you are here for.”
“Yes, Master Hou.” The Daoist man bowed and said, “Naturally we shall discuss the topic that I’m here for. However, I have to bring something up. If Master Hou wishes to gain to help from Holy Jail Sect, he has give us a show of his sincerity.”
“Oh? What sort of sincerity does the Dao leader expect of me?” Asked Shen Zi, seeing Ji Bei Hou’s face turn sour and it was clear that he wasn’t too pleased.
The Daoist did not change his expression, “Sincerity, can be shown over time, after we’ve taken some time to earn each other’s trust. Master Hou wishes to kill off Pei Zi Yun, we can be of service.”
“This person has opposed us too many times, and caused us grave losses. He even ruined things for Hou Mansion. I think nobody here will object to kill him right?”
“Naturally not. We can help Daoist leader by providing men who are all specially trained for such covert missions. We can even assign several men to you right now. The question is whether you will be able to catch hold of him?” Shen Zhi asked.
“You do not have to worry about that. I already have people handling that issue.” The Daoist man smiled widely.
“Speak clearly!” Ji Bei Hou said gruffly, "Have you seen the policy on Exterminating Pirates? How do you intend to deal with the policy?”
The Daoist men then kept his smile, and maintained a serious expression, "Look, with regards to the Japanese pirates, my sect has some information. Let’s first speak of their origins. The pirates come from Japan, and used to be warlords belonging to the previous Japanese Emperor. After engaging in countless of battles, they were defeated by the current reigning Emperor of Japan. These warlords suffered tremendous losses, and now became outlaws of the nation. With nowhere else to go, they decided to start building rafters and boats to plunder the seas.”
“Fifty years later, Japan already has a new batch of advisors and warlords. Naturally, the number of pirates still in existence were reduced significantly. However, there were still many pirates who had tasted the sweet profits of plundering and robbing, and would not rest. Most importantly was the fact that the previous dynasty had banned sea trading routes. This meant that goods such as cows, horses, military weapons, metal goods and silk could be sold at a much higher price back in Japan due to lack of supply.”
“At first, they started acting illegally, then it became robbing and plundering. That was how they started becoming pirates.”
“As for the policy of Exterminating Pirates, there’s this line which was extremely critical. That when the marketplace is open, pirates will become merchants. Likewise when there’s a ban on sea trading, and the marketplace is closed, the merchants will become pirates. This is very true.”
Shen Zhi realized that Ji Bei Hou looked angrier as he retorted, “This Daoist isn't here to praise our enemy in front of us right?”
The Daoist man nodded, “Of course not. What I mean is that the policy was extremely accurate and sly. There’s nothing bad to say about it.”
“However, the implementation of this policy might bring about a loophole that we can manipulate.”
“Speak up.” Ji Bei Hou said calmly.
“This policy of removing the bandits might be a bad thing for us. But it can be a good thing as well. Japan requires many goods from our motherland. Firstly, silk.”
“The policy spoke about ridding of the pirates in order to start opening ports for trade. Why can’t we take advantage of these ports to earn a huge sum of money?”
“You are Ji Bei Hou, you have money and you have boats. As long as you are willing enter the market, you will be able to make huge profits.”
Shen Zhi and Ji Bei Hou sighed at the same time, as if reaching an understanding.
“Silk would be highest in demand, followed by pots, porcelain, paint and medicinal herbs. On the other end, Japan will produce the silver. As long as we can establish a foothold and monopoly on these ports, a few hundred thousand taels of silver in profits is not an issue.”
“Master Hou has enough silver in his pockets, what can be difficult?”
“Furthermore should the Governor open up many ports, we can capitalize and profit from all these ports. With a monopoly of the market, we can control the supply to our whim and fancy. Additionally, we can also send people to harass the ports regularly, and even be able to control the price of rice.”
“There have been many so called upright officials who have been jumping and scolding the Governor for opening up sea trade.”
“Master Hou, the next few years will be very important. As long as the pirates are still around to ensure some chaos, the imperial court will not dare to dispense you. The Emperor’s health is not good, once he dies, the Crown Prince will lead us to a new era.”
“When that happens, we can move forward or backward as we deem fit.”
When Ji Bei Hou heard this, he took in a deep breath and exhaled, “There are many heroes under the heavens. You seem to be able to find a silver lining in every bad situation.”
Shen Zhi had muttered something about the Daoist being over excessive, and yet now he was completely silent, just listening attentively. He then cleared his throat, his expression was friendly and warm, "What Daoist leader is saying, is that regardless of how strong the resistance against us is, we should turn it around and make something good out of it.”
“Master Hou, this plan sounds good, we can proceed.”
“Oh?” Ji Bei Hou was stunned. He paced back and forth in deliberation, "Daoist leader, this is a big matter, and I have to consider. You can leave now.”
“Shen Zhi, escort the Dao leader out.”
“Yes!”
After escorting the Daoist leader out, Shen Zhi went back to the study room and paused for sometime before saying, “Master Hou, these Holy Jail Sect Daoists are very vile. You have to be on your guard.”
Ji Bei Hou laughed coldly, “They are vile, but it doesn’t matter to me. As long as it helps, I will bear with it.”
“But…..” Before Shen Zhi could finish his sentence, Ji Bei Hou waved a hand up to stop him, “There’s no need to say all these anymore. In order to retain my foundations, this is necessary.”
“Ai!” Shen Zhi sighed and didn’t comment further on that matter. He then said, “This Daoist reminded me. I did have an idea.”
“Oh, speak your mind.” Ji Bei Hou’s eyes sparkled in anticipation.
“It’s still the same words. Regardless of how strong the opposition against us is, we can turn it around into victory. But I didn’t complete my sentence then, how should we turn it around to become an advantageous situation for us?”
“The imperial court wishes to revoke your military authority. Since that’s the case, let’s go with that and follow their orders. Openly accept the order, and get your soldiers to return home, to their farms and agriculture. Then, we can keep those effective and loyal soldiers and transform them to sea merchants.”
“Doing this, we would be able to make money, and we will be able to keep your roots. When the time is right, we can advance and make a move. If the time isn’t right, we'll just keep earning money until the time is right.”
“We can put up a show for the imperial court, and play the part of loyal and respectful subject. Doing this would mean they have no way of guessing what we are up to.”
“Ai?” Ji Bei Hou stood up, and immediately replied, “Great, great. Mister is indeed a genius.”
