And although it is impossible for these servants to beat him, if he brings it up, there must be many people who are willing to help him.
But Wei Changtian still didn't plan to fight anymore.
At that time, he made the oath of victory, the only purpose was to motivate himself to practice hard.
Now that this group of servants can no longer help him improve, the remaining ten victories are meaningless.
For the sake of the so-called "beginning and ending", Wei Changtian was too lazy to do such things for outsiders to see.
Or in other words, he no longer needs to prove anything to others.
"Wang Er, let's go."
After a few perfunctory words to the crowd around him, Wei Changtian withdrew and left the martial arts hall.
Although a group of guards were excited, they didn't dare to be "no big or small" like the fans in the previous life, so they didn't follow, they just stood there and watched him go away.
"Why did Mr. Wei leave so soon?" Someone was a little puzzled.
"Hey, didn't you see that Young Master was looking at the winning card just now?"
A careful person guessed: "I guess the young master originally wanted to fulfill the oath of Baisheng."
"Huh? Then why don't you fight again?"
A servant at Liuye said regretfully: "Although we can't beat the young master, if the young master asks, I am willing to go on stage even if I can't get out of bed for three days!"
"So this is the gap between you and the young master."
The person who spoke just now shook his head and said: "Young Master won the ninety wins with one punch and one kick, and every stroke after the word win is real."
"But with Young Master's current strength, what's the point of winning us again? It's better to keep this winning card to inspire future generations."
"hiss......"
"makes sense......"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in unison as if they suddenly realized, and looked at the wooden sign again with different eyes.
They seem to have seen the man standing on the stage in a state of embarrassment again, seeing him unwilling to give up even after losing 58 games in a row.
Suddenly, I don't know who sighed.
"Hey, ever since the young master went to Shuzhou and stopped fighting, I always feel that there is something missing in the yamen..."
"Hahaha, it's because the 50 taels of silver that the young master gives every time he loses a game!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately ridiculed loudly, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
The laughter made the speaker blush and did not argue.
He lowered his head and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"Anyway, I feel that this capital is not as interesting as before..."
......
......
East of the city, Huaihua Lane.
Different from the bustling and chaotic scene in Xuanjing's yamen at this time, although there are many people gathered in a mansion without a plaque located at the end of the alley, the atmosphere is very quiet.
"Master Li."
"Master Zhang, it's early."
"Yeah, today is the first time the young master shows up. It's better to wait earlier."
"By the way, I heard that the emperor just summoned Mr. Lu, and I don't know if he can make it in time."
"I don't know... Hahaha, Mr. Sun, you just came from the palace?"
"Yeah, the big battle is coming, there are too many official affairs..."
"..."
In the spacious main hall, a dozen or so old men, including Li Kan, were standing and chatting, and the sound of carriages could be heard outside the courtyard from time to time, and people knocked on the door and entered the house one after another.
None of the carriages these people were riding had flags on them, making it impossible to tell the identities of the people in the carriages.
In fact, even if ordinary people see these old men, there is a high probability that they will not recognize them.
But if the common people can't recognize it, it doesn't mean that everyone can't recognize it.
At the very least, if Ning Wenjun was here, he would be able to name everyone.
After all, these people were all standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the early court.
That's right.
At this time, all the people in the house are members of the same boat club.
And this house is a property of the Tongzhou Club, and people often come here to discuss privately on weekdays.
It's just that this is the first time that people have gathered together like this.
Even the time when Ning Wenjun officially announced the "usurpation" was not so consistent...
Agarwood curls up, hovering around the cranes or peacocks embroidered on each official uniform.
With so many court officials gathered, those who didn't know this scene at first glance thought it was the court.
But it was dusk now, and this place was not the imperial palace, so the person they were waiting for was definitely not Ning Wenjun.
"Master Li, did you say when you will arrive?"
A white-haired old man approached Li Kan and asked in a low voice, "It's almost time for dinner, do you want to order the food and wine to be prepared first?"
"Young Master just said that he would go to the Xuanjing Division first, but he didn't say how long he would stay in the Division..."
Li Kan thought for a while, and then ordered to a servant: "Go, tell the back to start preparing the banquet."
"Yes!"
The servant immediately took the order to leave, and Li Kan explained to the old man:
"Master Wang, thanks for reminding me."
"In case the young master comes here before dinner, I'm afraid it will be too late to prepare the banquet."
"Yes."
The old man nodded: "It is always safe to prepare in advance."
"Um......"
"..."
One is Li Kan, who is an official worshiper of Dali Temple, and one is a third-rank official with peacocks embroidered on his clothes.
Both of them are obviously important ministers of the country, but right now they are discussing trivial matters such as "whether or not to prepare a banquet" here very seriously.
More importantly, even if the people around heard it, none of them showed any disdain or contempt.
From this we can see what status this upcoming "son" really has.
As for where the "son" himself is now...
"Brother Zhou Cheng! Long time no see!"
"Hahaha! Brother Wei! I thought you must be very busy today. I originally planned to visit Wei's mansion tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come here first!"
"Come as soon as you say you come, why bring so many things!"
"It's not easy to come to the door empty-handed, and besides, I have something to ask for."
"Huh? Brother Wei, what do you need me to do? Just say it!"
"This...Brother Zhou, I don't know if you still remember that two years ago someone in the company made a bet on whether I would marry Wan'er..."
"I remember it, it's hard, can it be..."
"Cough! Yes, didn't Wan'er ask you to gamble 20 taels of silver? She wanted to take the money back a long time ago, but when she thought about the long journey, she would have to spend half of the commission for sending it, so It never did.”
"And this time I'm going back to Beijing, so she told me to come and ask you for...the 20 taels of silver."
"..."
Zhou Cheng: "?"
Chapter 599 Imperial Power
A quarter of an hour later.
After chatting with Zhou Cheng for a while, Wei Changtian came out of the latter's residence with a small purse in his arms.
Comrade Xiao Xu pressed 20 taels at that time, plus the compensation paid, a total of 30 taels.
It's just 30 taels of silver, but Xu Qingwan has been talking about it for a long time, and she doesn't know whether to say that she manages the house well, or whether she cares about every penny...
"Okay, let's go back." Get into the carriage, Wei Changtian ordered casually.
Wang Er, who was driving, was taken aback, and reminded in a low voice:
"My lord, the people from the same boat meeting are still waiting in Huaihua Lane..."
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about this."
Wei Changtian glanced at the sky outside the car, and yawned lazily.
"Heh~ let's go then."
"I'm here, I want to see you anyway."
......
......
From dusk to nightfall, Wei Changtian didn't stay at the fellow boat club for too long.
After all, an organization like the Tongzhou Society is very complicated, but simple is also very simple.
Although the members are all big names and surnames in Daning today, they have all served the Puppet Pill, so they will never betray Wei Changtian.
Of course, some people may feel betrayal.
However, this kind of thinking cannot be transformed into "actual action".
Because before they make any specific "betrayal", the poison of the puppet pill will break out and take their lives in just a few breaths.
It is undoubtedly easy to manage such an organization that will never betray.
So Wei Changtian didn't publish any long speeches, nor did he say words that win people's hearts.
He only said one thing -
Right now, although Ning Wenjun is willing to surrender to the Wei family on the surface, he must be secretly accumulating strength in private.
In this way, the capital city in the future may not be so peaceful, and people like them may also be in danger.
And if someone in the same boat meeting is not willing to take this risk again, he can directly raise it, and Wei Changtian will allow him to take up a post in Dashu...
Leave Daning and go to Dashu to be an official.
There are advantages and disadvantages to such a choice, originally Wei Changtian thought that many people would want to go to Dashu.
But in the end, no one made this request.
In this way, Wei Changtian's first appearance in the same boat meeting ended so quickly.
"..."
"Uncle Li, why don't you want to go to Dashu?"
On the way back, Wei Changtian and Li Kan who were on the way were in the same carriage.
Because of Li Yang's relationship, Wei Changtian did not call Li Kan "Master Li", but used a more affectionate title.
The latter also seemed to be quite useful, with a smile on his face all the time.
"Young master Wei, you want to ask why everyone is unwilling to go to Shuzhou."
"Yes."
Wei Changtian did not deny it, nodded and said, "Not to mention whether Ning Wenjun will cause trouble in the future, even if it is due to the upcoming war, Dashu is much safer than Daning."
