Chapter 68 Invitation

All these thoughts were just a moment away, Pei Xuanjing still listened carefully to Lin Qingyi's story.

Lin Qingyi said solemnly, "Even if I hadn't taken the initiative to investigate this time, no one would have known. Brother Pei, do you know what this means?"

This means that Maitreya has even infiltrated the Jinyiwei, and even the people who are in contact with Maitreya are in a high position, otherwise this matter cannot be easily suppressed.

Pei Xuanjing knew what Lin Qingyi wanted to say but didn't say.

He shook his head and said meaningfully: "Brother Lin, some words are better not mentioned without evidence."

Pei Xuanjing stopped the other party from saying the next thing.

The other party was able to reveal such confidential information to Pei Xuanjing, which means that he released his goodwill towards himself. Then, before the other party did something to let him down, Pei Xuanjing should treat the other party as a friend.

This is Pei Xuanjing's principle of dealing with people.

And since they are friends, he can't just sit back and watch.

He didn't know what big shot was behind Lin Qingyi, but even if the other party had some big shot as a backer, this was not something that he, a Jinyiwei who had just been promoted to deputy thousand households, could say.

Being able to have a connection with Maitreya, and being able to suppress the affairs of the Northwest Road, and even suppress the news of the officials and guards of the Northwest Road, this represented the power of the other party.

There were only a handful of people with such ability in the Jinyiwei, but none of them could be offended by Lin Qingyi.

Even a third-grade master like Pei Xuanjing might not be able to retreat calmly.

Because such a person might not have much strength, but the power represented by the other party's identity and status was not something that a lone man like Pei Xuanjing could deal with.

Lin Qingyi nodded, he also knew the reason, but it was just because he didn't control himself for a while.

His family was a hereditary Jinyiwei, and they had a great recognition of the identity of the Jinyiwei. They were the confidants of the emperor and had supreme glory.

But it was hard for him to accept that someone would betray the emperor.

"Do you think the two factories know about this news?" Pei Xuanjing changed the subject.

Hearing about the two biggest rivals of the Jinyiwei, Lin Qingyi was stunned, and then reacted.

The power of the two factories is comparable to that of the Jinyiwei, or even better.

But now there has never been any news, which is undoubtedly more terrifying.

After reminding Lin Qingyi, Pei Xuanjing stopped talking and picked up the teacup.

Lin Qingyi understood what Pei Xuanjing meant and nodded.

He took out an invitation from his arms and handed it to Pei Xuanjing with both hands, "Brother Pei, the deputy official invites you to a banquet in three days."

"Hmm?" Pei Xuanjing held the teacup and waited for the next words.

In addition to the commander, there are two deputy commanders in the Jinyiwei. As for the deputy commander mentioned by the other party, there are three. He doesn't know if the person the other party is talking about is the one he guessed.

"It is Lord Jiang who invites Brother Pei for a while." Lin Qingyi said.

The Lord Jiang he was talking about was Jiang Bin, one of the three deputy commanders. Although he was only a fourth-rank official, he was regarded as a confidant by the emperor and was a favorite of the emperor. His power was almost second only to that of the commander Qian Ning.

Pei Xuanjing did not accept the invitation and asked tentatively, "What is it?"

He asked himself that he had no friendship with this deputy commander, so why would he invite him to a banquet for no reason.

Lin Qingyi explained, "How dare I speak nonsense about the deputy commander's affairs? It was just that when I went to pay a visit to the Lord Deputy Commander yesterday, I accidentally mentioned Brother Pei. The Lord Deputy Commander was very interested in Brother Pei and said that he would hold a banquet to thank Brother Pei for his help."

Pei Xuanjing naturally did not believe this explanation.

Even if it was to thank him for his help, it would not have taken so long.

However, he did not refuse. Pei Xuanjing took the invitation, "Please trouble Brother Lin to make a trip."

Seeing Pei Xuanjing accept the invitation, Lin Qingyi's heart was relieved.

You know, even if Pei Xuanjing refused, he had no way to do it. Even the deputy minister would not offend the third-grade master rashly.

Seeing Lin Qingyi getting up to leave, Pei Xuanjing took out a few silver bills from his arms and stuffed them in.

"Brother Lin, you have worked hard. Please take these back to treat the brothers to a drink."

Lin Qingyi brought a lot of news to him today, some of which were confidential.

And the other party was able to take a big risk to reveal such news to him, so he naturally had to say that these silver bills were worth several thousand taels.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing's generous hand, Lin Qingyi's face showed a satisfied smile, and he was thinking about how much he could keep after handing over part of it.

On a winter night, a few stars hung in the sky.

On the quiet and deserted street, a carriage walked out of the alley of Gu Ji's mansion, the Minister of Rites, and slowly walked towards the direction of the martial arts academy.

Since accepting Pei Xuanjing's teaching, Pang Hong has not yet entered the rank in the past six months, but the originally thin boy has gradually become stronger.

He waved the whip in his hand and drove the carriage a little unfamiliarly, fearing that he would disturb Pei Xuanjing who was meditating in the carriage.

Pei Xuanjing in the carriage closed his eyes slightly, still thinking about the exchange with Gu Ji just now.

"The current political situation seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents. You should be careful recently and don't be provoked by others." This is Gu Ji's advice to Pei Xuanjing.

According to what Guo Ji said, some people couldn't bear it any longer. They didn't want to see the martial arts academy continue peacefully.

Those people will definitely take action, and it is very likely that they will take action against editors like Pei Xuanjing and others who have no background.

After all, compared to others, those who attacked Pei Xuanjing and the others had no pressure.

Even though Pei Xuanjing has already entered the realm of a third-grade warrior.

There is no denying that third-grade warriors are very powerful.

But it happens that in the eyes of some people, using a third-level warrior to kill chickens and scare monkeys is even more of a deterrent.

"Then let's see who is the 'chicken' that was killed and who is the 'monkey'." A sneer appeared on the corner of Pei Xuanjing's mouth.

Perhaps the restraint I have gained along the way has made many people feel that I am too easy to control.

Looking at the three men in black dozens of feet away, Pang Hong's face was full of nervousness, but when he thought about Pei Xuanjing behind him, his face was filled with confidence.

"Hey." Pang Hong tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and shouted to the people in the distance:

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
