Chapter 63: Breaking the Contract

Zhou Shengchen's words came easily, but the little book boy became nervous again. This is because Zhou Shengchen, who is almost well-known on the north bank of the Yangtze River and even in Nanxiao, has been to the academy a few years ago. A group of people were deeply impressed by him, and most of them still had memories.

Precisely because of his special status, various personnel in the academy knew why Huan Yu was so meticulous in his recent work.

The few people the little book boy saw looked very unfamiliar to them, but they said they must insist on meeting Huan Yu, otherwise they would not leave. Under this situation, the little book boy felt that this matter was strange, and he had a conscious or unconscious sense of crisis.

Zhou Shengchen still looked calm at this time, but everyone else couldn't help but become nervous. Huan Yu didn't speak for a while, but an anxious look appeared in his eyes: "My king, someone is here,"

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Huan Yu asked first, "Miss Nao, do you know who the visitor is?"

After a brief silence, Yang Shiyi frowned slightly and said: "My king is in danger, so I am of course vigilant. The person who came called himself Xiao, and said he was a nearby landowner. This tone was quite conceited, and he must not be just a landowner. I dare to come to see you sir because of my identity. You know, you know, maybe it is Emperor Nan Xiao who has arrived."

Zhou Shengchen secretly praised her intelligence, and Huan Yu was full of praise and said: "What a daughter of the Yi family! She is really smart!" After that, he bowed to Zhou Shengchen seriously, and then said: " Your Highness is as handsome as a dragon, and it is fitting that he should be accompanied by a rare woman like Miss Nao."

Zhou Shengchen smiled and nodded, and Shiyi didn't care about being shy at this time, just stared at Huan Yu.

Knowing that she was worried about Zhou Shengchen's safety, Huan Yu straightened his back and said with emotion: "I am confident that I can solve this matter. Otherwise, I would not dare to invite His Highness to come to me."

After that, he turned to the little book boy and said, "Then please quickly invite the largest landowner in Jiangnan to come in."

The little book boy did not dare to disobey his teacher's orders, nor did he dare to offend Xiao Xu, who should be Emperor Nanxiao outside. He quickly bowed out and hurried to the courtyard gate to invite.

At this time, at the gate of Longkang Academy, it was indeed the Southern Xiao Emperor Xiao Xu who had changed into casual clothes. This man was wearing ordinary robes, but he looked elegant and calm.

In addition to several stern-faced Ouchi masters, he was accompanied by a civil servant wearing a Confucian robe.

Xiao Xu came to Jiangling City from Jinling. It didn't take long for Xiao Xu to find out that Zhou Shengchen and a female disciple had been invited to Longkang Academy as guests.

Xiao Xu wanted to arrest him immediately, but Xiao Xu was worried that this would break the ten-year peace vow between the two parties. But after all, Zhou Shengchen was a dangerous person to Nan Xiao. Regardless of whether he would harm him, Xiao Xu had already made up his mind that he would not let him go.

Furthermore, Xiao Xu was indeed in awe of Huan Yu, the master of Longkang Academy. Huan Yu's scribes were famous all over the world. Xiao Xu had been inviting him to join the court as an official, but he refused in the name of compiling history.

So even if Huan Yu dated Zhou Shengchen, Xiao Xu would not blame him. And he also knew that Huan Yu was rescued by Zhou Shengchen and escorted to Nanxiao himself. From this point of view, Zhou Shengchen still had the kindness to recommend a great talent to Xiao Xu, the Emperor of Southern Xiao.

But Xiao Xu had already made up his mind to restrain Zhou Shengchen and not let go of this great enemy of Southern Xiao. He was deep in thought at the gate of the courtyard when he saw the little book boy who went to report had already come closer.

After saluting, the little bookboy said, "Mr. Huan invites guests to enter, but not too many people are accompanying him." After Xiao Xu nodded and smiled, he stopped the guards from following him and went in with only the civil servant.

The guards were worried about Xiao Xu's safety, so he whispered: "That man is upright and will not harm me." Then he stepped in confidently.

Under the guidance of the little book boy, Xiao Xu and the others came to the small lake and saw the exquisite pavilion a dozen steps away.

At this time, the gauze tents around the small pavilion have been drawn up. Xiao Xu looked from a distance and couldn't clearly see what was going on inside. But he knew that the people inside could see him clearly.

"I have come a long way, but the master has drawn the curtain to cover me, which makes me feel like I am thousands of miles away." Xiao Xu said with a smile.

Zhou Shengchen looked through the gauze curtain and saw this elegant-looking man. He secretly praised and lamented in his heart: Xiao Xu was indeed gentle in governing the country and made the people of Jiangnan peaceful. But this man used despicable and vicious methods to seize the imperial power of Xiao Wen (Yan)'s father, then occupy his mother, and even deceive Xiao Yan. This approach is really intolerable.

This was not the time to say these words. Zhou Shengchen turned around and saw Huan Yu still sitting upright indifferently, replying: "The distinguished guest has come, and I should treat you well at a distance. But I already have him here. An important guest arrived first, so I had to wait for a while."

Xiao Xu was not upset after hearing the rejection. He still smiled and said, "In that case, why not get together together. Speaking of being Mr.'s distinguished guest, I have even more admiration and sincerity for the sage."

"Why don't I want to meet with His Majesty? It's just that I have a female disciple here, so it's a little inconvenient." Zhou Shengchen replied without waiting for Huan Yu to say anything else.

Nodding, Xiao Xu sighed and said: "King Xiao Nanchen is indeed a very loyal person, and I really don't dare to disturb him. However, I have arranged a separate residence for King Xiao Nanchen and his disciples. I hope you can move over."

"Are you going to harm my master?" Jian Shiyi said immediately and eagerly, "I am willing to send three thousand volumes of ancient ancient books to Longkang Academy in exchange for Your Majesty allowing my master to return."

Such a scroll can be said to be extremely precious. Huan Yu was not only delighted to hear it, but also moved for Zhou Shengchen. He first bowed respectfully and thanked Xiao Shiyi, and then saluted Xiao Xu outside and said, "King Xiao Nanchen did not deliberately offend Nan Xiao, but just came to rescue his disciples. If your Majesty can allow King Xiao Nanchen to return to Beichen, I will I am willing to take up the post of Imperial Tutor immediately."

Xiao Xu was immediately overjoyed after hearing what they said. There is no need to talk about those books for now, just that I invited and even begged Huan Yu many times but could not realize his wish. Now because of King Xiao Nanchen's matter, it is in sight.

He was about to answer, but then he thought: It is precisely because of this that the importance of King Xiao Nanchen is highlighted. If this person goes back to the North, won't he hate me even more for being the first to tear up the peace treaty?

Gritting his teeth, he first gently praised Shi Shi and Huan Huan, and then said coldly: "I will consider their request. But does King Xiao Nanchen really want to go back to Beichen so easily?"

"When I came to Nanxiao, I might have disturbed you. But I just rescued my apprentice and did not harm any plant or tree in Nanxiao, let alone the officials and people of Nanxiao. We only made a peace treaty a few years ago, and now I am here as an ordinary person. Does your Majesty want to break the treaty first?" Zhou Shengchen asked slowly.
