The Brocade Guards at the North Town Governor’s Office, the Prison of the Imperial Decree.

In one of the rooms of the prison, Jiang Bin was sitting resolutely on a chair.

“Those people have been imprisoned, sir, do you have any other orders?” Lin Qingyi was standing dutifully in front of him,

“You did a good job this time, the reward you deserve will not be subtracted.” Jiang Bin complimented.

Lin Qingyi quickly responded, “It’s all thanks to your superior leadership, otherwise I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”

Even though he was anticipating the reward, it was necessary to say these words as a formality.

Jiang Bin smiled, “I am not the type to gripe about things, since you fulfilled your duties, you naturally deserve a reward.”

“Thank you, sir!” Lin Qingyi knelt half way down, “1 am willing to serve you with my life.”

Jiang Bin waved his hand, “I don’t need your life, you should visit the Martial Academy more frequently and maintain good relations with Pei Xuanjing.”

“Yes!” Lin Qingyi replied.

In fact, even without Jiang Bin’s instructions, Lin Qingyi would never easily let go of Pei Xuanjing’s influence.

“Right, take a thousand-year-old spiritual material from the treasury and give it to him as a promotion gift,” Jiang Bin ordered, “also…”

At this point, Jiang Bin paused as if considering something. He didn’t speak for a while, just tapping his fingers on the arm of the chair.

Lin Qingyi remained humbly half-kneeling, waiting patiently for Jiang Bin’S instructions, without a trace of impatience.

“In my treasury, there is a garment sewn with silkworm silk that I received as a gift. Send it along as well.” Jiang Bin had a bit of reluctance in his eyes when he said this.

“Sir , are you really going to give away this treasure?” Lin Qingyi clearly knew the value of this garment.

This garment sewn with silkworm silk was a rare treasure, impervious to water and fire, and immune to swords. Even the general Divine Weapon could not damage it. Since acquiring it, Jiang Bin had treasured it very much.

However, for his own plans, to win over Pei Xuanjing, Jiang Bin, although reluctant, had to part with it.

“Send it!” Jiang Bin said grinding his teeth.

It was just a piece of clothing, once his plan succeeds, the benefits he could gain would far outweigh this.

“Yes!” Lin Qingyi obeyed the order.

Pei Xuanjing had no idea that Jiang Bin had planned to give him another present to win him over.

After hearing Qingyang Zi ts question, he didn’t immediately agree, but remained silent for a while before he asked, “Headmaster, to my understanding, the royal family has many servants and the emperor’s side is surrounded by experts. Why would they choose me to accompany them on the trip?”

This was what puzzled him. It was strange that although the Martial Academy existed for the compilation of martial classics, their main task naturally should be this.

But why would they let them follow the emperor on patrol, wasn’t this somewhat underhanded?

Qingyang Zi glanced at Pei Xuanjing and said, “Your strength is exceptional, we wish to take this opportunity to let the emperor get to know you better, to familiarize himself with you…”

Pei Xuanjing, of course, did not believe this explanation.

He didn’t say anything but just looked at the other person with a mocking gaze.

Looking at this expression on Pei Xuanjings face, Qingyang Zi, with a sigh of resignation, realized that his excuse couldn’t hold.

If Pei Xuanjing was still the third -grade grandmaster he was before, regardless of whether he accepted the answer or not, that would be the only explanation he had.

However, times have changed. Now, Pei Xuanjing was equal to him in single combat. Furthermore, since Pei Xuanjing had shown seriousness about this matter, he couldn’t evade him with that kind of answer.

“This is a long story…”

“That’s okay, I have a lot of time, I can listen to the headmaster’s detailed explanation.” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.

Obviously, he would certainly get the final answer since he had raised the question today.

Since Qingyang Zi had decided to tell him the answer, he didn’t make him wait any longer, and began telling Pei Xuanjing everything.

“The existence of the Martial Academy is actually a cover, the people who are truly involved in compiling the martial classics are elsewhere, they are the royal servants, so they can’t leave now, and the people who can be dispatched are limited, so we need you to accompany us…”

After a long time, Pei Xuanjing finally understood all this.

In short, the reason why Pei Xuanjing and the others were leading a comfortable life in the Martial Academy, even the so-called participation in compiling martial classics seemed to be optional, and it didn’t seem to be done with utmost urgency.

Pei Xuanjing had originally guessed that this was because the academy had to take into account various factions, so this matter couldn’t be accomplished hastily and that’s why they were slowly progressing.

But now he understood that they were only a front that the emperor put up to distract others, attracting attention while the real work of compilation was done behind the scenes.

It could even be said that the emperor’s excursion this time was also part of a plot.

This time, the failed mobilization of troops and the failed struggle against the Civil Officials led to more than just the decree for the Brocade Guards to reflect and stay in, it also led to an impasse in the compilation of the martial classics.

Bringing along all people from the Martial Academy for the journey also represented a kind of compromise, a compromise to others.

It also served as a way to show others that the emperor was making a face of compromise, but by taking all the editors from the Martial Academy with him, it was a clear implication that he wanted to continue compiling the martial classics. It was a desperate move by the emperor.

But many people didn’t realize that while they thought the emperor was on the second layer, in reality, he was on the third layer.

Those who were compiling the martial classics were not the editors from the Martial Academy, but others.

“So that’s how it is.” Pei Xuanjing sighed.

Qingyang Zi said seriously, “This matter must not be leaked, and you know the consequences if it does.”

His words had a hint of warning. If he didn’t understand Pei Xuanjing, he wouldn’t want to disclose this matter.

“I understand, I will keep this confidential.” Pei Xuanjing nodded, indicating that he understood the importance of this matter.

Although he was made a scapegoat, Pei Xuanjing benefited significantly. Without the Martial Academy and its martial arts resources, he wouldn’t have had so many opportunities to refine his skills and quickly increase his strength.

What’s more, he had a good relationship with Qingyang Zi and had received a lot of care during his two years at the Martial Academy, so he naturally couldn’t betray him.

The most important point was that Pei Xuanjing was more than happy to see the martial classics being compiled, so he wouldn’t want to sabotage it.

After all, most of the people who wanted to sabotage this were his enemies now.

“In that case, it wouldn’t hurt for me to go.” Pei Xuanjing nodded.

Hearing Pei Xuanjing agree, Qingyang Zi was overjoyed, but then he heard Pei Xuanjing make a request..
