My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 73 - I Have No Father [Six Updates, Please Subscribe]

Yunmeng Academy.

A certain classroom was holding a military strategy class.

The lecturer was a retired general, passionately analyzing a classic military battle where Daxia's forces had won against the odds, but few students below were listening attentively.

Those assigned to Class B were not the top scholars of the academy.

They had little hope for topping the Imperial Examination, and after the exam, they planned to directly enter the military selection and take the path of a Military Officer. By gaining experience in the army, they could eventually become Colonels Who Advise the Army...

Their families had planned this path for them long ago.

Since childhood, they had been receiving education for command, and they were well-versed in various military strategies, familiar with these classic battles by heart.

Instead of the general's lecture, they were more interested in the duel arranged between Song Yu and Pei Jun after class.

Back of the classroom.

Pei Jun looked uneasy. Just before class, Song Yu had insulted his mother in front of everyone. Although he wanted to beat Song Yu up, they were in the academy, and fighting here would lead both to be confined.

Fortunately, Song Yu had agreed to meet him behind the academy in the small grove after class, where he intended to teach Song Yu the consequences of his sharp tongue.

Pei Jun glanced at the two figures sitting in the row ahead, falling into thought.

Song Yu and Zhou Yu had somehow become inseparable at the academy, always together, even visiting the brothel together and entering the same room.

Rumors had already started within the academy that the two of them indulged in male love.

Whether they did or didn't engage in such acts was none of Pei Jun's concern, but Zhou Yu and Song Yu each had a group of followers. Alone, he could deal with them, but if they joined forces, he would be outnumbered.

Although he wasn't sure if Zhou Yu would intervene, to be safe, he needed to be fully prepared.

He leaned closer to a seat nearby and whispered, "After class, go find Guo You, tell him to bring his guys over…"

At that moment, near the front of the classroom, Song Yu and Zhou Yu were also whispering to each other.

Song Yu quietly asked, "Pei has many men; do you want to call Zhou Tao and the others too?"

Zhou Yu raised his index finger and shook his head, "No, just the two of us this time, don't call anyone."

Song Yu was taken aback and exclaimed, "Are you sure? Pei is famously ruthless. Just the two of us might suffer heavily…"

Zhou Yu looked at him and asked quietly, "Have you forgotten last time at the Chang'an County Government? If a fight involves more than three people, it's considered a group fight, with a one-degree higher penalty, five people add two degrees, ten people add three degrees. Just the two of us is perfect…"

It was then that Song Yu remembered their last conflict at the Chang'an County Government. Mainly because his brother-in-law had protected him, he hadn't suffered much, so his memory of the event wasn't very vivid.

After Zhou Yu's reminder, he recalled that because there were many involved last time, both sides had their penalties increased by three degrees.

He quickly thought of something else and regretted, "Damn, I forgot to have someone prepare some rolling pins to bring to the back of the academy…"

He usually skipped or slept through Legal Laws classes, but one rule he clearly remembered:

Unarmed fighting starts with flogging, and fighting with weapons starts with caning—a lesson taught not in the classroom but by his brother-in-law during practice.

Zhou Yu heard Song Yu's words and smirked slyly, "Don't worry, I've already had someone prepare…"

They exchanged looks, both revealing sly smiles.

This scene was observed by the lecturing general, who shook his head in secret. He had heard rumors that the young men from the Song and Zhou families were involved in male love. It seemed the rumors might be true…

Both of them looked decent enough, which was a pity, really a pity.

As the military strategy class just ended, Pei Jun and his group were the first to leave the classroom. Before leaving, he gave Song Yu a fierce look.

Song Yu and Zhou Yu remained calmly seated.

A friend of Song Yu's approached anxiously, "Yu, aren't you leaving yet? Pei Jun has been giving you trouble these days and has already gathered his men. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late…"

If there was anyone in this world that Song Yu trusted the most, it could only be Li Nuo.

He didn't even trust his father, Song Lian, as much as his brother-in-law.

Whenever trouble arose, whether it was his fault or not, his father would scold him indiscriminately.

His brother-in-law, though not good with words, would silently arrange everything from behind the scenes.

Jiaren marrying him must have done many good deeds in her past life.

To give his brother-in-law enough time to prepare, nearly half an hour passed before Song Yu and Zhou Yu left the classroom, leisurely heading towards the academy's back gate.

At that moment, in the small grove behind the academy, Pei Jun's group of twenty, each holding a wooden stick, had grown impatient.

What they held in their hands were not mere sticks, but rolling pins.

This small grove was the designated battleground for their duel with Song Yu, and they had arrived early to wait for him. However, Song Yu was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting for almost an hour, they were already annoyed. Plus, there was a fool at the back door of the academy selling rolling pins, yapping away for the whole time, making their ears hurt...

What a fool who doesn't know how to do business. Selling rolling pins away from the busy market by the academy's back door—who would buy them there?

Surprisingly, someone did.

To achieve some peace, Pei Jun had his men buy the entire vendor's stall to send him away.

The vendor left, but they were still bored.

Someone eyed the long, straight rolling pins on the small stall and couldn't resist the urge to fiddle with one in their hands.

Few men could refuse a long, straight stick. In no time, each of them had one in hand.

Not to mention, the vendor was actually pretty decent. The rolling pins were smooth and solid—also handy as a weapon in a fight.

After waiting a bit longer, two figures finally arrived leisurely.

It was Song Yu and Zhou Yu.

Looking around, Pei Jun saw no one accompanying them and was surprised, asking, "Just the two of you?"

Maintaining a distance of about six meters from them, Song Yu said, "To deal with trash like you, the two of us are enough. We don't need anyone else."

Despite Song Yu's unusual arrogance that day, Pei Jun still courteously said, "Don't accuse us of bullying you by outnumbering. We'll give you another hour to gather your people…"

Song Yu remained silent, just making some lip movements.

Pei Jun read those silent words and felt a surge of adrenaline, grabbing a rolling pin and rushing forward.

Today, he was determined to make Song Yu understand the consequences of running his mouth!

Seeing Pei Jun charging, those behind him followed suit. Sensing danger, Song Yu and Zhou Yu immediately turned to run. Just then, countless figures emerged from a nearby teahouse.

A slight smile crept over Song Yu's lips; he knew his brother-in-law was reliable!

He and Zhou Yu quickly joined the group of government officials, pointing behind them and shouting loudly, "Help, they are trying to kill us…"

The sudden appearance of these officials stunned Pei Jun and the others, stopping them in their tracks.

Why did the officials from the Chang'an County Government always arrive at such opportune moments?

However, when Pei Jun spotted a corpulent middle-aged man among the crowd, a smile appeared on his face. Dropping the rolling pin, he stepped forward and cheerfully said, "Uncle…"

He had barely spoken two words before the man covered his mouth tightly.

Pei Jun's eyes widened in shock as he struggled to breathe, making muffled, indistinct sounds.

Sweating profusely, County Magistrate Zhang sternly said, "What uncle? My uncle died a long time ago, don't talk nonsense…"

County Captain Wang, standing beside him and experienced in such situations, waved his hand and declared, "Under broad daylight, how dare you fight with weapons in Chang'an City! Take them all away!"

Having pried Zhang's hands off, Pei Jun recognized County Captain Wang's rank by his uniform and angrily said, "You, a mere Chang'an County Captain, dare to arrest me? Do you know who my father is?"

Normally, he might be more courteous toward officials from other jurisdictions, but when dealing with local officials from the Chang'an County Government, he did not feel obligated to hold back.

His father held a prestigious position in the Capital Prefecture Government—a boss' boss to a mere county captain…

Before County Captain Wang could respond, County Magistrate Zhang spoke up, "You rascal, watch how you speak to Lord Wang. This is the son of the Minister of Justice, Lord Li. Show your respects immediately…"

Pei Jun looked at the strikingly handsome young man standing next to Song Yu, caught slightly off guard.

Li Nuo eyed him with anticipation and curiosity, asking, "Who is your father?"

He had learned many things from the elders of Legalism recently, including a tactic to apprehend the small fish to bait the big one.

Some officials didn't expose vulnerabilities themselves, so a roundabout strategy was required. Starting with the junior could entice the senior to reveal their flaws, which then provided grounds to investigate...

If the person was indeed a corrupt official, it could lead smoothly to their removal.

Frozen in place, Pei Jun's mind raced.

The Ministry of Justice could only investigate officials below the fourth rank. The Spiegel Bureau needed a valid reason to target fourth-rank officials, but his father, a Secondary Fourth Rank Junior Governor in the Capital Prefecture, occupied a perilous position...

With Li Xuanjing's influence, it would be easy to demote his father's position by half a rank.

At that moment, once his father's position was reduced from Secondary Fourth Rank to Standard Fifth Rank, the Ministry of Justice could initiate an investigation. Li Xuanjing had done this more than once.

He absolutely could not let his actions endanger his father!

Recovering his senses, he broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head emphatically, insisting, "I don't have a father…"
