Chapter 154 Liu Fengnian’s affectionate confession? !

That night.

Zeng Anmin was lying in the yard.

The image of Qin Wanyue, standing under the moonlight, appeared in my mind, as if she had walked out of a painting.

He gently touched his chin with his hand and murmured:

"Sister Qin is only seventeen years old and not yet an adult."

"You have to take it easy."

"Sai Chuxue... doesn't look very old, but considering she's a disciple of Master Xu Tian, ​​her appearance might not match her age."

"Chief..." Zeng Anmin coughed dryly.

"Ahem, I won't consider it for now."

"uncle!"

Hu Zi ran over, looked at Zeng Anmin eagerly, and asked expectantly:

"When will the aunt in black come again?"

Zeng Anmin's thoughts were interrupted by Hu Zi, who looked at him sideways:

"have no idea."

"oh."

Hu Zi's face was visibly depressed. He held his small wooden sword and curled his lips, looking a little aggrieved.

"Can you take me to her tomorrow?"

It can be seen that the wooden sword has no electricity and cannot blow air from a distance, which is a big blow to Hu Zi.

"What sweet dreams are you having? I have to go to school tomorrow."

Zeng Anmin yawned and said, "I'll take you there when I'm free."

Hu Zi shook his head: "My dream is not as beautiful as my uncle's."

?

Zeng Anmin frowned. He looked at Hu Zi and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Hu Zi stared at the wooden sword in his hand: "My uncle told the aunt in black and Aunt Qin today that they dreamed about them..."

“Ahem…”

Zeng Anmin felt a little uncomfortable because of choking.

He looked at Hu Zi in some astonishment.

Oops!

This guy has been listening to me as I act like a sea king!

This matter must not be spread out!

Zeng Anmin coughed and looked at Hu Zi seriously and said:

"Huzi, you can't reveal your uncle's dream, okay?"

"Why?" Hu Zi looked up confusedly and looked at Zeng Anmin in confusion.

"Because someone is using this dream to harm my uncle."

Zeng Anmin looked serious.

"oh."

Hu Zi nodded thoughtfully: "No one can tell?"

"certainly!"

Zeng Anmin looked determined and took a deep breath: "If you don't want to never see your uncle again, then don't even think about going out!"

"Um!"

Hu Zi heard this and showed a lingering fear on his face: "I was thinking of telling mother before I go to bed later."

6!

The corner of Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.

This guy definitely can't keep his words secret!

"Don't say anything nonsense, do you hear me?"

Zeng Anmin looked at Hu Zi seriously, then he touched his chin.

Feeling that he couldn't just suppress it blindly, he coughed and continued:

"If you behave well, I'll take you to Fa'an Temple to visit Yingchen in a couple of days."

"Hmm?" Hu Zi's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was obvious that he had never forgotten his new friend at Fa'an Temple.

"OK!!"

…………

"Finally, it's quiet."

Zeng Anmin was riding a horse on the street.

He felt like a lot of the burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

After the Huang Yuangao case was over, the court's policy towards Jiang State and the demon tribe had nothing to do with him.

Bai Ziqing also secured his position as Beitidu because of this case, and was promoted from acting to newcomer.

Dad's situation in the court has also stabilized a lot.

And he can finally quietly enjoy the happiness brought by his status as a second-generation rich kid.

"Da, da, da."

The horses reached the gate of the Imperial College.

Zeng Anmin immediately saw Liu Xian looking around.

"Brother Quan Fu! You're finally back in Beijing!"

Sure enough, after seeing Zeng Anmin, Liu Xian showed a look of surprise on his face.

He moved quickly from the gate and before Zeng Anmin could speak, he reached out and grabbed Zeng Anmin's reins.

Lead the horse for him.

“Yes, I’ve been missing for some days.”

Zeng Anmin reported for leave to the Imperial College before going to Liangjiang County.

It took me more than ten days to come back.

"I miss my brother so much."

Liu Xian complained bitterly to Zeng Anmin: "More and more students come to visit my brother these days."

"It took me a lot of effort to get rid of them."

"Haha." Zeng Anmin dismounted, tied up the horse, and walked towards the school side by side with Liu Xian.

"Have you made any progress in these days?"

Zeng Anmin asked with a smile on his face.

Liu Xian scratched his head shyly and said:

"Thanks to Brother Quan Fu, one of my 'books' has now entered the Dao. I only need to break through the sixth level before I can naturally condense the Dharma image and enter the fifth level."

"Yo huh?"

Zeng Anmin was stunned.

He really didn't expect that this kid Liu Xian could actually understand the art of "books".

"You can do it, kid!"

Zeng Anmin patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of praise:

"As expected of a sixteen-year-old who has won the highest honors! I've never seen anyone with a greater talent for Confucianism and Taoism than you!"

"Brother, you're too kind." Liu Xian said this, his nostrils almost curled up to the sky, and the corners of his mouth were grinning extremely exaggeratedly:

"As long as the next spring exam is held, I, your younger brother, will win the title of number one scholar no matter what, so as not to embarrass you, my brother!"

"Ha ha!"

Zeng Anmin laughed out loud.

This guy really knows how to talk!

He is a bit smooth-talking, but why is it that being with him is like being in a spring breeze?

"But...sigh."

There was a hint of bitterness on Liu Xian's face, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows.

No wonder this guy was waiting for me at the gate. It turns out he was waiting for me here?

"It's okay." Liu Xian waved his hand pretending to be strong.

"It's okay." A smile flashed in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

Are you pretending with me here?

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Liu Xian's face froze slightly.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Zeng Anmin almost laughed out loud when he saw him like this.

Are you playing hard to get with me, young master?

Let’s go have fun!

"Ahem."

Liu Xian hurriedly caught up with Zeng Anmin, his face showing a serious expression:

"Brother Quan Fu, have you ever heard of Wangxianju?"

Zeng Anmin was stunned.

Then he blinked and looked up, hesitantly saying, "Yes, I heard something about it."

"well!!"

Liu Xian sighed deeply, his eyes filled with bitterness as he said:

"Wangxianju originated in Jiangnan. Its owner was originally Mr. Shen from Jintaiping, the first shipping merchant in Jiangnan."

"In just six months, Wangxianju has become popular throughout Jiangnan."

"Then what?"

The two of them had already arrived between the classrooms.

Zeng Anmin arrived early today, so there were only a few people in the hall.

Liu Xian sat behind Zeng Anmin and said with a melancholy voice:

"I don't know what kind of magic Wangxianju has cast, but the food its chef makes is not only delicious, but even more so. Not only the food, but even the soup is so delicious that you can't stop eating."

"To be honest, my father and I have tried the food at Wangxianju. The delicious food they make can also be made by the chefs of our Liangyou Chamber of Commerce. However, the cost is extremely high. One dish even requires two live chickens to extract the flavor."

When Liu Xian said this, his expression was extremely bitter:

"Recently, there have been rumors that Mr. Shen is no longer content to keep Wangxianju in the south of the Yangtze River, and wants to expand to our north."

"Developing northward sounds good. His first move will definitely be to open a branch building in the capital, and then radiate outward from the capital."

"My Liangyou Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to serving the people. We suffered greatly from the floods and droughts of the past few years. Now, the cloth shops, grain shops, and street vendors are barely able to survive. Only the restaurants in the capital and the surrounding eight counties are still profitable..."

"With the arrival of Wangxianju, there's no way for my Liangyou Chamber of Commerce to survive..."

When Liu Xian said this, his face even became aggrieved.

Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows.

It was obvious that Liu Xian came prepared.

On the surface, he was complaining.

But he should have secretly investigated Shen Jun thoroughly.

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Xian.

Silence is better than words here.

Sure enough, Zeng Anmin stared at him for a while.

The bitterness on Liu Xian's face gradually disappeared, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.

The expression on his face also became extremely guilty.

"Have you figured out Mr. Shen's background?"

Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Liu Xian's guilty look.

"What details?"

Liu Xian looked confused.

"Don't play dumb with me." Zeng Anmin looked at him with a cold look in his eyes.

"I don't believe that the backers behind Jin Taiping can't be found out with the background of Liangyou Chamber of Commerce."

After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Liu Xian didn't dare to say anything else.

He knew that his thoughts had been guessed by his brother Quan Fu.

"Brother Quan Fu is indeed very thoughtful."

Liu Xian smiled bitterly and said with a guilty conscience:

"Rumor has it that Jin Taiping Shen Jun has the support of Zeng Gong."

Zeng Shilin, now many people call him Zeng Gong.

Dad's status and strength are worthy of such a title.

"snort."

Zeng Anmin snorted coldly.

Jin Taiping is a person who is using the tiger's skin to wave the banner.

Dad never said that he was the backer behind Jin Taiping.

But, I never denied it.

"But Brother Quan Fu, my Liangyou Chamber of Commerce cannot reach the Jiangnan region."

Liu Xian had revealed the truth to Zeng Anmin, who smiled bitterly and said:

"This is just hearsay. As for whether it's true or not, the reason I told you this today was actually to test your gut."

Having said that, he took a deep breath and said:

"If it's fake, the elders in the family will definitely do something shameful to make it impossible for Mr. Shen's Wangxianju to continue operating in the capital."

"But if it's true..."

Liu Xian pursed her lips and said, "I just ask my brother to leave a way out for the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce."

…

Zeng Anmin didn't say anything.

He just squinted his eyes and thought.

After a long while, he looked up and asked calmly:

"You said the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce is just barely holding on?"

In his impression, Liangyou Chamber of Commerce is the best chamber of commerce in the world.

Even though they had experienced floods and droughts, they still shed a lot of blood for the sake of the eldest princess.

Even if it was a serious injury, how could it be just barely maintained with such a large size?

Liu Xian sighed, "I've only heard my father talk about our family's business occasionally, so I don't know the details."

"Um……"

Zeng Anmin touched his chin, and after a while, he slowly raised his head and said:

"Mr. Shen should come to the capital in the next few days. When he arrives, I will ask him to visit your father at the Liu Mansion. If there is a possibility of cooperation, Jin Taiping and the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce may be happy."

"real?!"

Liu Xian's eyes suddenly showed an expression of extreme surprise.

"Um."

Zeng Anmin didn't say much, just nodded lightly.

Seeing Zeng Anmin like this.

Liu Xian gritted his teeth, looked around, and said in a very low voice, "Since brother is so sincere to me, I won't hide it from you."

After saying this, he leaned over to Zeng Anmin's ear and whispered in a very low voice:

"In fact, as far as my brother knows, the eldest princess's spies are actually behind some of the industries of the Good Friend Chamber of Commerce."

?

Zeng Anmin heard this.

His eyes were a little glazed.

No, I only used a basic attack, why did you use your ultimate and flash?!

Is it my responsibility as an outsider to know such an important secret?

"Ahem."

Zeng Anmin glanced at Liu Xian: "Why do you say everything?"

Liu Xian took a deep breath, he was extremely solemn:

"Some people like to bet on the blazing sun in the sky, but others prefer the stars that are still brewing in the depths."

Liu Xian's voice was extremely serious:

"Brother Quan Fu, whether you believe it or not, ever since I first saw you, I, Liu Fengnian, knew that whether I live or die in this life, I would follow you!"

"The family business is not important. If my brother can achieve a high position in the future, ten Good Friend Chambers of Commerce will not be as much as the dust he can scrape from his fingernails."

This sudden and affectionate confession made Zeng Anmin feel a little insecure.

"Um."

Zeng Anmin looked at Liu Xian deeply.

No wonder this kid could become the champion at the age of sixteen.

Apart from anything else, the way these eyes look at people is something that no ordinary person can match.

Speaking of eyes and ears.

Zeng Anmin touched his chin.

Isn't it time to build my own intelligence system?

Since my father asked me to take the imperial examination.

Then he will definitely enter the officialdom in the future.

It's not enough to enter the officialdom with just your father's support.

You must have your own strength.

He glanced at Liu Xian.

At this moment, Liu Xian was looking at him with extremely fiery eyes.

This guy's smooth talk...

It would be interesting to find a way to get him to serve as a diplomatic envoy in the Ministry of Rites in the future.

…

"The Jiang Kingdom's Eastern Cult colluded with the demon race to murder officials of our Great Saint Dynasty!"

"This battle must be fought!!"

“Fighting is the only way to appease the people’s anger!!”

"Do you really think our Great Saint Dynasty is easy to bully?!"

"That Jiang Kingdom Empress is truly despicable!"

"It's a shame that I'm just a student now. If I get the chance someday, I'll definitely flatten the Myriad Monsters Mountain and reclaim the Jiang Kingdom!"

“…”

Sitting on the seat of the Imperial College.

What Zeng Anmin heard most was the students' indignation.

Although they are at the bottom of society, they still have a desire to serve their country.

But in Zeng Anmin's opinion.

This is totally a talker.

He had no opinion on this.

Qin Shoucheng has not appeared in the Imperial College since today after he went to the Shangshu Residence yesterday.

For two consecutive days, Zeng Anmin did not see Qin Shoucheng.

When asked, Qin Wanyue didn't know either.

The court was calm.

The four fields are stable.

Zeng Anmin looked at Qin Shoucheng's disappearance.

He could vaguely feel that the Great Saint Dynasty was really going to send troops.
