Time Travel: My Lord, Your Missing Fiancee Is Back

"Xiaopang, what are your plans next?"

Jiang Heng came back to his senses, "Where's my brother?"

On the boat flying side by side, Shen Hongxuan immediately noticed Qi Ze's intention, and instantly activated his martial arts, forcibly opening a gap in Qi Ze's soundproof barrier.

Qi Ze paused as he was making hand gestures, wanting to fight, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

The boat was too small for them to maneuver.

The most important thing is that Xiaopang is too heavy, and the Crocodile Plus behind him is not light either. If these two fall down, they will be seriously injured if not killed.

"I'll follow you."

"That means, big brother will follow me no matter what I do?" Jiang Heng was in a bad mood, "Big brother, can you let me be alone for a while?"

"No."

Jiang Heng thought for a moment and said, "Then can I ask, who is behind Big Brother?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Heng turned around and faced Qi Ze. "That is, are you a royalist, a prince, or someone else? What I will do next depends on which faction you belong to."

Qi Ze was puzzled, staring at Jiang Heng's face, strangely but seriously: "There is no prince. There is no one behind me. If there must be someone, it is His Majesty."

Jiang Heng was surprised. "If there is no crown prince, then everyone will compete to be the crown prince. Big brother, you really don't have any idea who to support as the crown prince? You don't have any good friends with anyone, so you are considered to be a member of a certain party?"

Qi Ze shook his head, "If those who follow the teachings are biased, it will not benefit the country."

Jiang Heng stared at Qi Ze again and again, and always felt that under his gentle appearance, there was actually a devil hidden. How could he not have any court officials to befriend?

If not, then he is a lone minister.

Such a person cannot gain a foothold in the court.

Will be excluded.

Once someone wants to replace him, or feels that he is blocking the way or getting in the way, they will frame him and use various means to get him out of the situation.

Pursing his lips, Jiang Heng said earnestly, "Brother, there is an old saying that goes, at home you rely on your parents, when you go out you rely on your friends, the more friends you have, the easier it is to travel. Brother, why don't you make more friends."

Qi Ze smiled and insisted, "Xiao Pang is right. But it's better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality."

Jiang Heng nodded in agreement, "They should be carefully screened." After thinking for a moment, he asked curiously, "Brother, as I recall, the position of Siye is not very high, right? Can you usually see the emperor?"

Qi Ze looked at Jiang Heng's expression again, "It's really not high. It's hard to see His Majesty. Xiao Pang, is there something that needs His Majesty to preside over justice?"

Jiang Heng smiled awkwardly, "Brother is just sensitive. How could that be? I'm just an ordinary citizen, what could possibly happen to me! Haha!"

Qi Ze felt that Xiao Pang was hiding something from him and didn't want him to know. He couldn't help but recount the past:

The first time we met, in the deep mountains and forests, Xiaopang seemed to be preparing to take bird eggs.

He had already run away, but he didn't want to harm innocent people, so he dragged his body, which was becoming increasingly difficult to control after taking the Chinese medicine, back to rescue them.

After killing Liu Yufeng, the instigator, he only had time to walk away a little to temporarily suppress the effects of the drug before he fell down.

The second time I only saw his back.

The third time I saw Xiaopang sleeping in a tree...

Xiaopang is obviously a human, but he has a bird daddy...

"Is it because I am not in a high position that you didn't tell me and think I can't handle it?"

Qi Ze pursed his lips. He should have stayed in the court as an official. If he had been in the court, he would have been able to see His Majesty often and might have been able to influence the direction of certain things.

However, the academy is not a real place to escape from the world, it is full of worldly affairs.

Now, although he has thousands of disciples studying abroad, he may still be able to interfere in the affairs of the court.

"Xiaopang, just trust me. I have my own channels to help you."

Jiang Heng was determined not to implicate Qi Ze. It was already distressing enough that he was a lone minister. "Brother, let's not talk about this anymore."

After hearing this, Shen Hongxuan was almost certain that Xiaopang wanted to avenge the Wang family.

However, the Zhou family has a saintly cultivator, so even if Your Majesty intervenes, he may not be able to give justice to the Wang family.

The Wang family is already a thing of the past. If Xiao Pang takes action against a monk in the holy realm for the sake of a family that has become history, then he will be condemned by thousands of people and become a sinner of the country.

Being a monk in the holy realm is no longer a personal honor, but a national combat force that needs to be protected by the whole country. It plays an immeasurable role in international competition and confrontation.

From this perspective, Emperor Chengwu would not allow anything to happen to the Zhou family's holy realm.

At most, we can reprimand the Zhou family, ask them to apologize, and make them bleed a little, but it won’t hurt the foundation!

Qi Ze thought for a moment and said, "Little Fatty, although Anzhou Xie Kaiyun's cultivation is still shallow, his voice has risen, and His Majesty will give him some face. His Majesty will consider who he wants to protect and what he wants to do. And the Xie family is on good terms with the academy."

"What if he fights against another saint? Will the Xie family allow him to get involved?" Jiang Heng smiled, "Your Majesty will agree to infighting among saints?"

Qi Ze: "..." Xiao Pang actually has a grudge against the Saint? This matter is really difficult to handle.

"I can ask Saint Jiang from the academy to come forward..."

Beside him, Shen Hongxuan clenched his fists unconsciously when he heard the name of Saint Jiang from the academy.

Xiaopang is right, infighting among saints is not allowed. The fall of any saint is a huge decline in national strength.

Jiang Heng didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he unconsciously emphasized his tone and said jokingly, "Brother, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously."

"That……"

"I just want to see if you have any connections. I'm so old now, I have to find a job. I think the academy is good. If you have any connections, I should be able to get a job through the back door."

Jiang Heng spoke in a flattering manner, but Qi Ze felt uncomfortable listening to it.

He had already screened which students could contribute and which students could contribute money, but Xiaopang said it was a joke and made up such an excuse.

If he just wanted to find something to do, he could make the decisions for those below the seventh rank, and there was no need to look for other connections.

Xiaopang seems to know the structure of the academy and the rank of the dean, but he doesn't know that the empire currently has no crown prince. It is really difficult to evaluate this matter and this person.

But one thing is certain, Xiaopang doesn't trust him.

Qi Ze let out a long breath, "Xiao Pang, although I am not talented, I still have some connections. Even if you have a huge injustice, I will help you to expose it, what's the harm? But you told me that it was a joke. Do I really not trust you?"

Jiang Heng looked at Qi Ze, who was so aggressive and powerful at this moment, and swallowed unconsciously. He stretched out his hand to help Qi Ze calm down, but he was a little afraid to do so as he was afraid of being yelled at, so he could only take his hand back awkwardly.

"Well, big brother, I'm really joking. I haven't suffered any great injustice or grievance. It's others who have suffered grievances. My ability is limited. I will help if I can. If I can't help, that's fine. You don't have to care so much. It's not worth it to sacrifice yourself for a stranger who has nothing to do with you."

Qi Ze: "Xiao Pang, we have a life-long friendship. I am worthy of your trust."

Jiang Heng understood that Qi Ze was willing to go through fire and water for her, even to the point of death.

But the Wang family’s affairs were really not worth it for a stranger like him to get involved.
