Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 27 Letting Go (Please read on, please vote!)

This is truly like the Yellow River bursting its banks; if you try to block one side, it leaks out the other, and it just keeps going on and on.

But there's no other way; things have come to this point, so we can only continue to try to salvage the situation.

So Wang Xi quickly sent someone to inform Li Jieman and the others, asking them to go to the academy immediately.

When the four arrived at the academy, Wang Xi told them about the situation.

Before they could say anything, Tao Mo shook his head vigorously, "No way! No way! This will definitely give us away."

In his excitement, he even pulled out a scroll of bamboo slips from somewhere, saying, "Look, I haven't finished my lessons for today."

Wang Xi said, "So now you know why we're urging you to study. If you study hard and become a true teacher, then none of today's problems will exist."

A real teacher? Tao Mo almost cried, feeling like he'd been tricked. Wasn't it just a pretense? Why did he have to work so hard? He asked helplessly, "Then what should I do now?"

Wang Xi said, "Aren't we thinking about this?"

Li Jie said, "If it were just orphans, it wouldn't matter; they are trustworthy."

Wang Xi sighed, "But judging from my father's tone, it shouldn't be just one or two."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "There's no other way but to stop them. Otherwise, they'll definitely be exposed. If our parents find out it's a lie, then we'll..."

Wang Shuang's gaze gradually became vacant, and large beads of sweat dripped down his face one after another. He muttered to himself, "I will definitely die."

The lie grew larger and larger until it even crossed the line into the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Wang Xi said dejectedly, "Now you know why I pulled you away from Zhangjiadian."

Li Jie was filled with regret and said, "We won't make such a stupid mistake again. Let's get through this difficult time first. This could be a matter of life and death!"

Wang Xi said, "Now our father has promised to support Mr. Wuming."

Huangfu Sengnian shook his head: "But if there are too many people, it probably won't be of any use. Given the current situation of your family and mine, we desperately need their support. I don't think we would offend them over something like this."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi immediately frowned.

The Wang family desperately needs the support of court officials. Compared to Empress Wang's status, Lao Tao is nothing.

Wang Shouyi and Li Qiao certainly understood the importance of this matter very well.

After some deliberation, Wang Xi said, "How about this, we put on a show to scare them."

Li Jieman asked urgently, "How do we scare them?"

Wang Xi said, "It's about showing our true colors."

"True nature?"

"It's just about drinking and having fun!"

"How can this be allowed!" Li Jieman panicked a little. This fat man was very good at flattering his elders.

"Why not?"

Wang Xi said, "Now that I have achieved something, our father won't care, but those uncles and elders will definitely be frightened and won't dare to send their sons over."

Li Jieman nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's true."

"also."

Wang Xi added, "We can also break this window while we're at it, so that we won't have to lie to cover it up when someone finds out. That's just how we are."

Huangfu Sengnian suddenly asked, "What if we fail to frighten them?"

Wang Xi said, "That's impossible. As long as we go too far enough, we'll definitely scare them."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "But we still need to think of a foolproof plan in case of unforeseen circumstances. This is no small matter."

It was early morning when three carriages arrived at the gate of the nameless academy. A middle-aged man and a boy got out of each carriage. They were clearly father and son, and they all looked around.

"is it here?"

"should be."

"But there isn't even a plaque here."

"That's why this place is called the Nameless Academy."

"I see."

After observing for a while, the group arrived at the door.

Suddenly, a shout came from inside the door.

"Hey buddies! Awesome!"

"You lost! Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!"

The three middle-aged men exchanged glances, a hint of doubt in their eyes. One of them, a rugged-looking man, curiously pushed open the door.

With a creak, the door opened.

The scene that greeted them terrified them. Four teenagers were gathered around a table, some standing and some sitting, all of them flushed from drinking and disheveled. The most striking thing was that a fat man was taking off his clothes, and his white outfit almost blinded them.

"Ouch!"

The man quickly closed the door, saying, "Wrong way, wrong way."

The refined-looking middle-aged man in the middle took a deep sniff and exclaimed, "What a strong aroma of wine!"

A boy next to him suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "We didn't go to the wrong place, this is the place! Weren't those guys just now Brother Que and his group?"

The three middle-aged men were suddenly taken aback.

The boy who was speaking pushed the door open forcefully without any hesitation.

The four boys at the table were staring blankly at them.

"Brother Sparrow, Brother Shuang."

The boy ran up excitedly, "What are you doing?" This boy was none other than Cui the orphan he had met in Zhangjiadian yesterday. He had gone back and asked his father to transfer schools, but little did he know that his father was planning to do the same.

Wang Xi asked in surprise, "Orphan, what brings you here?"

"I've come to keep you company," Cui Gu'er said with a grin.

You still need to try to please your future senior.

"Cough cough!"

I heard two coughs.

Then the three middle-aged men walked in.

Wang Xi and the others hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "This lad greets Uncle Cui, Uncle Han, and Uncle Xue."

The middle-aged man in the long robe, who was about thirty years old and had a gentle and refined demeanor, was Cui Gu'er's father, Cui Shendao.

The man who pushed open the door just now, with a rugged appearance, a full beard, and wearing a round-necked red robe, was Han Xiaohu's father, Han Dachui.

The remaining man, who was slightly older and had a rather serious expression, exuding an imposing aura, was Xue Jun's father, Xue Maozong.

Cui Shendao first glanced at the jar of wine on the table, then asked, "What are you all doing?"

Wang Xi replied, "Uncle Cui, we are in class!"

"Attend class?"

Choi Shin-do couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What kind of classes are you having here?"

Wang Xi said, "During morning self-study, I'll have a drink to clear my head."

".!"

Cui Shendao was completely stunned.

Does it have to rhyme like that?!
"What a great study session!"

Xue Jun jumped up excitedly, then exchanged a glance with Cui Gu'er and Xue Jun.

They're both colleges, but the differences are so huge!
This place is simply paradise!

Xue Maozong scolded, "Why are you so agitated, kid?"

Xue Jun immediately patted his chest and said, "Father, if the Imperial Academy taught like this, I would definitely get full marks in every exam. It's all the Imperial Academy's fault for hindering my progress."

"You brat!"

Xue Maozong raised his hand as if to slap him.

"Hey hey!"

Han Dachui quickly stopped him, saying, "Brother Xue, don't be angry. Perhaps this is an advantage."

"what?"

Wang Xi and Li Jie opened their eyes wide and spoke in unison.

defamation!

That's absolutely slander!
"Isn't that right?" Han Dachui asked.

"Ah yes yes!"

Wang Xi quickly put his arm around Han Xiaohu, saying, "If Xiaohu and the others could come, that would be wonderful. We'd have more people to drink with."

Han Xiaohu was overjoyed and affectionately rested his head on Wang Xi's shoulder.

Li Jie understood immediately and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, more people means more fun drinking together."

"There are three. There are three."

"I am the orphan of Cui!" Cui cried out anxiously, fearing that he would be forgotten.

But when Xue Maozong saw this situation, he realized that this was pushing his son into a fire pit. However, since he hadn't seen the nameless man, he couldn't draw a conclusion yet. So he asked, "Que'er, is Mr. Nameless here?"

Wang Xi said, "The master has not yet gotten up."

Xue Maozong frowned and said, "Then what are you all standing there for?"

"Hey!"

Cui Shendao raised his hand to stop Xue Maozong, "We have been impolite to visit you. Since you are resting, why don't we sit here for a while?"

Han Dachui said casually, "You probably want a drink, right?"

Choi Sin-do coughed twice, "The children are all here."

Li Jieman, who was always obedient in front of his elders, subconsciously flattered them, saying, "Uncle Xue, Uncle Cui, Uncle Han, please sit down, please sit down."

As soon as he sat down, Cui Shendao asked with great interest, "What kind of wine are you drinking? The aroma is so unique."

Li Jie said, "This is brewed using our master's secret method. It's incredibly delicious. Why don't you three uncles try some?"

Flatterer!
Wang Xi, Huangfu Sengnian, and Wang Shuang gave the fat man a look of deep contempt.

Cui Shendao chuckled and said, "Since Xiaoman is so eager to try it, then let's give it a go."

Li Jieman immediately poured a cup for the three of them.

Cui Shendao picked up his wine cup, stared intently at it for a moment, then suddenly nodded and took a deep sniff, followed by a small sip. He immediately exclaimed with delight, "Clear as spring water, fragrant and intensely flavorful, fine wine, truly fine wine! It really does invigorate the mind."

Seeing his incredible boasting, Xue Maozong and Han Dachui, two roughnecks, picked up their cups, tilted their heads back, and drank them down in one gulp.

As soon as the wine entered their throats, the two seemed to freeze, their eyes wide open and their lips tightly shut.

After a long while, they finally exhaled a breath of stale air and exclaimed in unison, "Good wine! Truly good wine!"

Seeing that these three old hooligans had completely abandoned their son's studies and started drinking heavily, thoroughly intoxicated, Wang Xi realized that this had backfired. He whispered, "Let's call the teacher out quickly. Who knows if they'll start hitting people when they're drunk."
