Zuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting to connect with history; it seemed he was quite lucky.

In fact, he wrote this poem to express his anti-war sentiments. After all, having been an ordinary person himself, he was more able to empathize with those ordinary soldiers.

Just then, Miss Nanxun parted her lips slightly and said, "I also understand, but I don't know if I should say it."

The others perked up immediately: "Miss Nanxun, please speak freely."

Ha, a bunch of bootlickers!

Nan Xun glanced at Zu An and slowly said, "You are all high-ranking figures, but I come from humble origins and can better understand the suffering of ordinary people. In war, regardless of who wins or loses, many soldiers and civilians will lose their lives. They also have families and loved ones, and no one has ever been able to tell them about their pain. However, Young Master Zu's poem fully expresses their heartbreaking lives. I personally think that Young Master Zu must be a kind and gentle person. In addition to the warning and exhortation mentioned by Young Master Qin, this poem should also express an anti-war sentiment and a love for peace."

After speaking, he looked at Zu'an with anticipation.

Zuan was somewhat surprised. This courtesan was quite something. He nodded and said, "Indeed, she does have that intention."

Born in a peaceful era, he had little interest in war. What was the point of war when it was a bloodbath, countless people were displaced, and in the end, only a few people gained fame?

The mysterious woman upstairs smiled slightly: "Just as I expected!"

This man is interesting.

However, the others in the room didn't think so, and they all laughed:

"Indeed, this is the view of a scholar."

“Miss Nanxun is too kind. The demon race is extremely brutal. If you don’t kill them, they will slaughter more of our compatriots.”

"Indeed, this war was also because the demon race slaughtered one of our cities. Talking to them about peace is really pedantic."

...

Most of the people in the room shared similar views. It should be noted that the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded on military might, conquering and defeating various enemies from all directions.

These people come from prestigious families, and everyone aims to achieve great things, so it's natural that they find it difficult to empathize with ordinary people.

The mysterious woman upstairs snorted, "These people are truly despicable!"

The maid standing nearby angrily chimed in, "That's right, why don't we just kill them all!"

The mysterious woman glared at her: "Here, take the knife, go kill him?"

The maid pouted, "How could I possibly have that ability?"

The mysterious woman chuckled: "You know that too? Then stop spouting this unrealistic nonsense."

...

In the audience below, although everyone felt that Zu An was being a bit too sentimental, they all acknowledged that this was a rare and excellent poem.

I thought to myself that this guy's claim of possessing eight-tenths of the world's talent wasn't exactly bragging. Not to mention the whole world, throughout history, there has never been anyone whose poetry and prose were comparable to his.

With the Qin brothers' support and Miss Nanxun's praise, Yi Zhibing wanted to say something more, but Yu Nan stopped him. It was too late to say anything more; it would only damage his image further.

Nanxun's ears twitched slightly, as if she had heard something. She was somewhat surprised, but she did not show it.

Instead, she looked at Zu An with her beautiful eyes, a hint of something inexplicable in her usually aloof gaze: "Young Master Zu, I really like this poem. May I have it?"

Zu An smiled and asked, "What would you like to give me, young lady?"

A man who readily agrees to every request a woman makes is not a quality expected of a successful playboy.

Upon hearing this, the others in the room began to curse and shout, all feeling that Zuan was shameless.

Although everyone admires his literary talent, when it comes to stealing women, no one will be polite.

Nanxun blushed slightly: "What does young master desire?"

Being a courtesan, she was also skilled in singing and dancing, so her answer was very clever, seemingly agreeing but actually not agreeing to anything, allowing her to advance or retreat as needed.

Zuan stared intently at her, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "I want you..."

Hearing his words, even Gao Ying and Pei You were taken aback. Why was this guy so bold?

The others couldn't stand it anymore and began to condemn Zu'an for his rudeness to the woman; they were almost ready to throw eggs at him.

The mysterious woman upstairs spat, "What a lecherous scoundrel!"

Zuan happily accepted the anger of these people, feeling utterly triumphant.

Nanxun blushed even more: "I really want to agree to your request, but so many people are coming for me today, and the later stages haven't even started yet. I don't dare to make a promise so easily."

Zuan secretly exclaimed in admiration. This woman's methods of stringing men together were quite impressive. Just like those women in his previous life who kept backup options, she kept you in a state of ambiguity, making you think the relationship was close enough. But when you actually wanted to take it to the next level, you found that there was a huge gap between you.

But he was prepared: "I just wanted you to take the tassel off your face, what are you thinking, young lady?"

Nan Xun was taken aback, then realized she had been tricked, and glanced at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

A woman may not remember the man who made her laugh, but she will certainly remember the man who caused her to have dramatic emotional changes.

At this moment, the others who had just been cursing fiercely immediately changed their tune and echoed Zuan's words, all wanting to see Nanxun's true face.

Nanxun appeared embarrassed, but she reacted quickly, saying with a wronged expression, "I was originally only supposed to show my true face to one person today."

Zuan laughed and said, "I don't mind if other people see it."

Nan Xun: "..."

The others thought to themselves, "This guy is shameless. Miss Nanxun was clearly referring to the guest she chose for tonight, and you're shamelessly matching yourself to her."
