Chapter 361: Pretending to be Foolish

"Do we still need an old fogy like you to say that? With our Emperor reigning and the presence of the Young Master and Master Guiguzi, Great Qin has naturally been thriving. But shouldn't you, as an old fogy, fulfill your previous promises?"
"That's right, we're all waiting!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We have never seen a raw plank before!"
Led by Zhang Han, other ministers began to speak.
They all stood with their hands behind their backs, waiting for the joke from Feng Quji!
Let this old guy sing a different tune with the young gentleman, how about that? Eat humble pie, right?
"Promise? What promise?"
In his desperation, Feng Quji could not think of any good methods, so he could only play dumb.
"As a chief minister, you should set a good example for the people below and stop pretending to be ignorant!"
With a look that showed he enjoyed watching the commotion, Zhang Han annoyed Feng Quji to the bone.
Helpless, he could only turn his gaze to Ying Zheng, hoping that he could speak up for him and resolve the current danger.
However, just moments ago when he was staring at the hall, Ying Zheng unexpectedly picked up a small wooden stick and started grooming his nails?
What does this mean?
Don't want to deal with it?
"Hehe! Uh... young master, you see, I'm not young anymore. If I really swallow the morning board, my old life will be gone. Instead... why not leave it as a debt for now?"
Feng Qujie squatted on the ground, his old face covered in sweat.
Perhaps because he was too anxious, for some reason a light bulb went off in his head.
He came up with this solution for the debt!
After saying it, not only did I not feel embarrassed, I even felt pretty good.
It's reasonable and makes sense!
Anyway, it's not like I'm cheating, it's just overdue.
Who knows, maybe I'll pay it back in the future!
"You old thing, how dare you say such words, and still owe money? When are you going to repay?"
"I see that you are going to write off the debt and pretend nothing happened, aren't you?"
"Do I still need to turn my head? As long as young master nods, this account will be considered settled!"
……
The ministers laughed mockingly.
"All of you be quiet. At least I am an old man in my thirties. Can't I challenge the young master playfully? If I say I'll owe it first, then I will definitely repay it!"
Feng Qi Ji said firmly.
"Young master, you must never agree!"
"Yes, yes, yes, never agree! Once you agree, you will never see Raw Swallow Asado again!"
Zhang Han and Meng Yi gathered around the little boy and tried to persuade him.
"Go away, go away, go away! This is an agreement between me and the young master. What business do you have here?"
Feng Qvji coldly pushed both of them back to their own positions.
Then, with a smiling face, he approached the little boy and said, "Hey hey! Young master! Allow this old man a few days to recover, how about that?"
"Well...!"
Little boy stood with his little hands on his back and wandered around the court.
This made Feng Qudi anxious!
So, do they agree or not?
"Done!"
After a while, the little boy nodded.
"What? Young master? You actually agreed? This old man is clearly trying to dodge responsibility!"
"Exactly, if we don't make him swallow this morning's loss today, he will definitely refuse to acknowledge it later!"
"Exactly, exactly...!"
"These people, including Zhang Han, who were waiting to watch the show, felt disappointed after hearing the little boy's words.
"Alright, enough from you guys. The young master has agreed, so why are you still making a fuss...?"
这句话着实将冯去疾乐坏了，一张老脸笑的比菊花还要灿烂，“多谢小公子，多谢小公子！”
……
散了早朝以后，小正太飞快的朝毓秀宫跑，一下子扑到莲儿的怀里，亲昵的喊了一声娘亲。
Wang Li and other accompanying personnel also returned home and had meals with their families.
Wang Wan blinked her big black eyes, blinked her long eyelashes, and listened attentively to Ying Feiyu's latest achievement.
Especially when I heard the news of cracking the Eight Trigrams Formation, I didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of missing something crucial!
It wasn't until I heard that the whereabouts of Guiguzi were found that I finally felt relieved!
"Grandpa, isn't it strange? The young master just called him 'old man' and yet Guiguzi didn't get angry at all? He even insisted on taking the young master as his disciple and even went so far as to leave the mountains and serve the Great Qin!"
Wang Li still can't figure out why.
"Haha! Since the young master deciphered the Eight Trigrams Formation, Guiguzi has made up his mind to take him as his disciple. The few days of chaos in Guigu are just to understand the young master!"
Wang Jian, with the appearance of a cunning and calculating person, smiled and said,
"What? Grandfather, are you saying that ever since we entered the Wang Mansion, Guiguzi had planned to take the young master as his apprentice?"
"That's right! The formation laid out there cannot be broken by anyone for decades, yet the young master managed to break through in a short period of time and enter the valley. Coupled with the previous legends about the young master among the common people, Guigu Zi naturally wants to take him as a disciple and pass on his mantle!"
"It turns out that's why the old man is so good-tempered!"
Wang Li suddenly realized.
"I'm telling you, the scenery in Gunei is beautiful, but they still live the same way we used to, eating plain boiled vegetables that are hard to swallow! The young master cooked them a meal, and immediately won over all those disciples. It's no longer the time when they chased after the young master!"
"Well, the short-legged guy really knows how to cook!"
Wang Wan wholeheartedly agreed with this point.
The first time they met, they were stunned by Ying Feiyu's ice blocks.
In the hot summer, a block of ice as the entrance, that's so refreshing!
"Huh? Wan'er? I remember you used to nitpick all of the young master's flaws when we talked about him before. Why are you agreeing now?"
Wang Li suddenly felt somewhat off.
Why didn't this girl pick on that boy's flaws today?
"Huh? Did I? I was just stating the facts!"
Wang Wan's face immediately turned red.
She herself didn't even know when exactly she started to see that boy differently!
……
The day after Guiguzi and all his disciples arrived in Xianyang, the news had already spread throughout the city, becoming the biggest news in Xianyang.
"This young master is amazing, he actually managed to invite Guiguzi!"
"No kidding! Throughout history, countless kings have sent people to find Guiguzi, but this young master effortlessly brought him to Xianyang!"
"With the young master and Master Guigu, our people's lives will be even better in the future!"
"I heard that Master Guigu is coming to Xianyang and will become a professor. He will teach at the technical school and give lectures to students from all over the world!"
"What? Really? Then I have to sign up. I can proudly say I am a disciple of Guiguzi!"
"Yes, yes, count me in!"
"Let's go, let's go together! Don't wait for the news to spread, if more people go, we may miss out...!"
Once the news spread, all the idle citizens at home rushed to the vocational school.
The threshold of the registration office is about to be trampled!
