“He’s ——,” Jin Mingxuan said, looking at the man at the head of the group and recalling his name with a bit of brain damage.
“Xu Mingfeng.” Qingyu reminded.
“Yes, Xu Mingfeng,” Jin Mingxuan clapped his hands together and said, “the other protagonist of that farce at Fayin House. Tsk, he’s got a lot of nerve, and I don’t know who gave him the guts to do that in front of the Shanhe Academy.”
“I don’t know, maybe he lost his wits last time when he was beaten by Zhang Qian Ding.”
That farce that happened at Fayin House made Zhang Qianding lose his eligibility to come to Shanhe Academy to enter the school. The other instigator, Xu Mingfeng, didn’t fare well either, and if it wasn’t for his old man, who was also a great official of the imperial court, finding someone to plead for mercy, he might have been exempted from further studies along with him.
After all, it was Xu Mingfeng’s arrogance and provocation that caused the incident to begin. This arrogant character was greatly against the Confucian way of being moderate and modest, and made many Confucians very unhappy.
“Ah goo goo ——” Xu Mingfeng raised the wine jar he was carrying in his hand and tilted his head to take a few gulps, “In the daytime, you must sing and drink, youth is a good companion to return home. Good wine, good wine ——”
“Brother Xu, what a great poem!” Several other people who came with me followed suit and drank with their heads held high.
“It seems that he has really lost his wits, seeing as he wasn’t this rampant last time at Fayin House.” Jin Mingxuan shook his head.
“Heh.” Qing Yu laughed lightly without saying anything.
Xu Mingfeng and his group were not really out of their minds, they had just broken free from their usual shackles and let themselves go.
After studying the “Yin Yang Technique”, Qingyu used the “Alchemy Technique” to improve the Longevity San again. It is now quietly becoming popular among the official families of the Northern Zhou, and when taken with strong wine, it activates the blood vessels, opens up the muscles and bones, and clarifies the mind.
However, once taken in large quantities, although it doubles the pleasure, it also destroys the nerves and causes a strong drug dependency.
From the perspective of Qing Yu, a pill creator, Xu Mingfeng’s use of the drug was already deep, and in just a few days, he had ingested a large amount of Changsheng San, and was hopeless.
“Xu Mingfeng, the academy is a place for teaching and educating people, a place of civilization and propriety, how can you be allowed to be such a loose cannon!” There was a loud shout and a scholar in white came striding in.
“Who do I think it is? Isn’t this the sick Feng Jiu?” Xu Mingfeng tilted his head and looked at the white clothed scholar with an angry look on his drunken eyes
The visitor was none other than Feng Jiu, the old student of the academy who would return to the academy a day early to prepare for the appropriate matters.
“Woah woah, really, his brain is filled with alcohol, daring to call Feng Jiu that.” Jin Mingxuan softly wowed, his face full of excitement as he watched the big show that was about to begin.
The crowd that gradually gathered around them also had the expression of a crowd of gourmets watching the fun.
It was because this was too exciting, not expecting that the big buzz that had just pa*sed a few days ago would now be staged here again.
As mentioned repeatedly before, Feng Jiu was, after all, an imperial son. Those second generation of the powerful and noble had to maintain a bit of superficial respect for Feng Jiu even though they couldn’t look at him. Therefore, they did not call Feng Jiu by his name, nor did they want to call him “Ninth Prince”, so they called him “Ninth Prince” as a compromise.
But when Xu Mingfeng called him by his first name, it was clear that he did not even bother with the basic courtesy and was going to tear his face off and start a fight with Feng Jiu.
“Xu Mingfeng,” Feng Jiu’s gloomy face, “what do you want to do, do you also want to follow in Zhang Qian Ding’s footsteps?”
The surrounding crowd of melon eaters even held their breaths, watching this sudden drama. It was not often that the Shanhe Academy refused to let people into the academy twice in a row.
“I am ——,” Xu Mingfeng had spoken entirely from his heart only, seeing that disaster was about to come out of his mouth.
“Eh, Ninth Brother, Duke Xu is just a bit straightforward, why grab on and be aggressive!”
A crowd of gourmets turned their eyes towards the source of the voice, only to see a young man wearing a bright pearl crown and a purple fancy dress, with a low-browed attendant slowly striding in.
“Feng Jiu’s sixth brother, the sixth prince, Feng Chaonan, the son of the current empress. The meaning of Chaonan is that his heart goes to the southern homeland occupied by the Great Qian, which shows how much the Northern Zhou Emperor loves Feng Chaonan. And Xu Mingfeng’s father, Xu Weiran, the right Guanglu Daifu, is one of the Sixth Prince’s supporters.” Jin Mingxuan whispered.
“How do you know?” Qing Yu looked at him in surprise.
“These days, I’m not just playing with women,” Jin Mingxuan smiled smugly, “There are many dignitaries coming and going from Tianle Square, what news can’t I hear.”
Feng Jiu’s expression was cold as he stared at the sixth prince, Feng Chaonan, who had come out halfway.
Although the two were brothers, one was plainly dressed and the other was flamboyant. Feng Jiu’s expression was cold, without any of the warmth of being a brother. The sixth prince, Feng Chaonan, was all smiles, but the contempt and disgust in his eyes could not be concealed, or rather, he did not care to conceal it.
The two brothers were at odds with each other in every way, and their stances, as they stood now, were antagonistic.
“Such a wild and perverse person, how can he be forgiven lightly!”
“Xu Gongzi is only a little more unrestrained in his words and actions, he is described as a wild student, he does not deserve the name of wild and disobedient, moreover ——” Feng Chaonan’s tone turned low, “can you stop the Lord? Even Hao Ran Zheng Qi has not been cultivated, you and they are actually no different, want to severely punish him, change the eighth royal brother to come is more like it.”
“Clang ——” There was a loud clang as Xu Mingfeng threw the wine altar in his hand onto the ground, the altar shattered and the wine splashed from the ground in all directions.
Feng Chaonan was closer to Xu Mingfeng, except for Xu Mingfeng’s group, he was taking the brunt of the attack.
“Splat.”
The attendant behind Feng Chaonan took a silent step forward and a gust of Yin wind swept through, the wine splashed towards Feng Chaonan turned into ice beads and bounced on the ground.
“Pure Yin’s true qi,” Qing Yu scanned the low-profile attendant, “white face, no beard, no knot in his throat, covered in Yin qi, or a royal attendant, a eunuch.”
As a practitioner of the eunuch technique, Qing Yu was extremely sensitive to this aspect and could see at a glance that the servant was a real eunuch.
“What’s the point of nagging, Feng Jiu, take a punch from Laozi first, and only if you can stand up will you be qualified to talk to Laozi.” Xu Mingfeng shouted loudly and stepped forward to attack Feng Jiu with a punch.
At this moment, not only did Jin Mingxuan feel that Xu Mingfeng had lost his wits, everyone present felt the same way.
“I can’t believe that this Xu Mingfeng is so reckless, he looked quite gentle before.” Jin Mingxuan had thought that this was the end of the drama, but he didn’t expect the peak to turn around and go straight to the climax, so excited that his eyes lit up.
Qing Yu laughed softly, “Maybe it’s just that I’m too repressed from pretending to be civilized. Now that I’ve liberated my nature, I can’t control myself at all.”
Well, Qing Yu’s original opinion of Xu Mingfeng was that it was hopeless to quit, probably hopeless. Now, on the other hand, it was hopeless, and Xu Mingfeng couldn’t wait for the repercussions of the Longevity San.
It was getting interesting.
