Seeing that the sun began to set, Yan Yun and others also came to the academy to gather, but Lu Jing was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting for a while, someone couldn't help but say, "What should I do? Should I urge you?"

When the young master Baiyu Lu Ping shook his head when he heard this, "My residence is not too far from his residence. When I came here just now, I wanted to invite him with me, but no one answered after knocking on the door."

"Is he not at home now? Then it's going to be trouble now."

It was still some time before the dinner began, but considering where they were going and who they wanted to meet, it was obviously necessary to set off early, because it took a lot of effort to enter the imperial city, not to mention the red tape along the way.

But Lu Jing didn't know where he had gone, so an anxious person suggested that everyone start the road first and then send messengers to Lu Jing to send a letter. If he could catch up, he would catch up. If he couldn't catch up, he would forget it.

Anyway, the errand sounds very simple this time, and it's enough for six people to come.

However, before he finished speaking, a figure walked towards the direction of watching the fish in the sky.

He was a square-faced man, about thirty years old, with a pale face looking a little sallow, as if he was sick. The beard on his face had not been taken care of for a long time, and some of them were even wrapped around, plus the pair of ragged straw sandals on his feet.

When everyone saw him for the first time, the four words "unclean" appeared in their hearts, but then they had to admit that this person did have the capital for uncleaning.

His facial features are actually not handsome, but when they are combined, they give people a faint sense of vicissitudes, which is the feeling of a prodigal son in the world. It can be said that he has brought out all the charm of a man of his age.

But the six people looked at each other, but they all saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

They have been in the academy for almost half a year and are very familiar with the teachers and chores in the academy. No one has seen this man on weekdays, and I don’t know where he came from.

It was not until Xia Huai saw the wine gourd hanging around the man's waist that he felt familiar, and then he was the first to react and tried to shout, "Lu Jing?"

The man with square face nodded after hearing this, "It's me, I just took some time to disguise, and everyone has been waiting for a long time."

Mr. Bai Yu has a family background and is also involved in Yu Yirong. But when he first saw it, he could not see through Lu Jing's disguise. It was not until Xia Huai made a sound that he noticed that Lu Jing's palm did not look like a thirty-year-old man, and the wine stains on his clothes seemed a little new.

But there was no flaw in terms of face alone, which surprised him a little and said curiously, "Brother Lu, are you wearing a human skin mask?"

"That's right." Lu Jing took off the human skin mask on his face and showed it in front of everyone generously.

After obtaining Lu Jing's consent, Lu Ping reached out and touched the mask, and then sighed, "It's worthy of being Li Qiaoshou's work, no wonder I didn't see it at all before."

"Li Qiaoshou?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.

"Well, the skillful hand of the South and the North is the two with the best skills in making human skin masks in the world. Each of the human skin masks made by them can be faked and real. Unfortunately, one person is now washing his hands with a golden basin and the other is missing. This also leads to the fact that the human skin masks made by the two of them are now hard to find.

While saying that, Lu Ping returned the human skin mask to Lu Jing, "I wonder what the relationship between Brother Lu and Senior Clever?"

"Oh, I don't know Li Qiaoshou. This human skin mask was unexpectedly obtained by a flower picker."

In fact, Lu Jing himself doesn't like this human skin mask too much. The reason is very simple, but this thing is a bit too eye-catching. It's just like an uncle, and he still has to develop a vicissitudes of temperament. It's a bit eye-catching and inconvenient to stumble.

But there was no way. He had a total of six human skin masks, including men and women, old and young. After all, Lu Jing had not learned disguise seriously. It would be a bit difficult for him to cross the age range and even disguise himself as a gender.

He used Feng Jiulang's one again before, so this time the only one left is Qi Kui to be available.

Yan Yun didn't speak until everyone arrived, and then he reminded him, "It's getting late, and it's time for us to set off."

Everyone had no objection. When they left the door of the coffin shop, the carriage from Sitianjian outside the door was already prepared, with a total of five cars, one of two cars, and one of them was used for materials needed for pulling and waiting.

Although they are doing things, they have to prepare all the things they should have. In addition, there is one of the seven people, Xie Anshi, who is a real Taoist temple.

Although he practiced the art of watching the air before entering the academy, he naturally would not fall for the rituals that Taoist priests used to eat to exorcise evil spirits. He was still a little nervous when he thought about going to the palace this time.

Fortunately, in addition to their academy disciples, Si Tianjian, also sent a governor to accompany him.

The governor was named Chengguan, but he was not a practitioner. His daily duties in Sitianjian were mainly to deal with some documents. Like Lu Jing and others, this time he was also arrested and strong.

Fortunately, Chengguan is a person with an official position after all, and has attended the Grand Court several times, so he is familiar with the official family. Of course, he is familiar with the official family, not the other way around.

But it seems that I have to be much calmer at this moment, and I also shared some matters about entering the palace with Lu Jing and others.

Sitianjian is not controlled by imperial power, but it still tries to establish good relations with those in power in all dynasties. After all, if you can gain support from the court, in addition to getting money, many things will be easier and more convenient to do.

So at least the face that should be given on the surface is still to be given. Even if Guo Shouhuai, the actual boss of Si Tianjian, was summoned, had to take time to enter the palace and make a perfunctory job, let alone others.

However, according to Chengguan, as long as Lu Jing and others can ensure basic etiquette, they don’t have to bow their knees to welcome them. The Sitianjian has a special status and the officials will not regard them as ordinary ministers. Tonight, they will enter the palace as guests.

In addition, Chengguan also warned everyone not to interfere in the battle of imperial power, especially the battle for the throne, which is a taboo in Sitianjian. It is best not to get too close to those princes and nobles from the beginning.

Anyway, no matter who sits on the dragon throne, it is impossible to leave Si Tianjian, so there is no need to bet in advance. The benefits of winning bets are limited, but losing bets will result in a lot of bad consequences. What’s more important is that once this starts, people will interfere in secular power disputes in the future in the future. Everyone wants to be emperors, and no one will deal with those tricks and protect the world.
