In Liangjiang County, within the Confucian Academy.
A Grand Confucian looked at the many chaotic students, angrily shouting, "What is there to be proud of? Have you all understood the sag...
Chapter 248 The netizen finally met in person!!
After entering the Duke's Mansion.
Zeng Anmin began to look around.
He is just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Looking around, I found this strange and that strange.
Really big.
The Ningguo Mansion is as big as the five Shangshu Mansions combined.
Just walking from the main gate to Duke Ningguo's residence would take half an hour...
"Everything that needs to be checked should be checked carefully."
"Rules, I won't say much."
There was a hint of coldness on Bai Ziqing's face.
He looked at the nearly two hundred men under his command:
"Don't let me see anyone lining their own pockets and daring to violate the rules of the Imperial City Division."
"yes!"
All the people looked stern and saluted Bai Ziqing.
"Well, go ahead."
…………
"Brother Quan Fu."
After everyone left, a smile appeared on Bai Ziqing's face. He looked at Zeng Anmin and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"No, I should call you Marquis Zeng now."
"Tsk, I'm so envious."
…
The corner of Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.
He glanced at Bai Ziqing.
"I never thought that you, Bai Ziqing...the Bai family in the capital, are actually the current queen's family."
…
Mention of the White Queen.
Bai Ziqing's expression froze, and he chuckled dryly:
"What family? The Queen is my cousin."
…
Although he said so, Zeng Anmin could clearly feel the sadness in his words.
There was even a hint of bitterness in that smile.
It seems that the rumors outside are true.
When Zeng Anmin saw Bai Ziqing's expression, an epiphany flashed through his mind.
The current queen, after taking the throne, took action to suppress the foreign relatives.
"Well, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go look for some secret compartments or tunnels."
Zeng Anmin waved his hand at Bai Ziqing, his voice serious:
"Don't forget that Li Jian had dealings with Jiang State's spies during his lifetime."
"See if you can find any clues."
As he spoke, his back gradually walked away.
Bai Ziqing looked at his back and could only spread his hands helplessly with a smile on his face.
…
"Nothing."
"Nothing."
"Second Master, there is none."
…
Zeng Anmin listened to the reports from his subordinates.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Not found?
Is this possible?
Li Jian and Concubine Xi were spies of the Jiang Kingdom, both openly and covertly.
Even the Eastern believers in Jiang State have connections.
This is an ironclad fact.
But it’s such a big Duke’s Mansion.
Why can't we find any evidence or secret letters?
impossible.
"Have you checked everywhere?"
Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at the grapes from the Imperial City Bureau.
There was a hint of coldness on his face.
Apart from anything else, his official authority has become increasingly powerful in the past two years.
Every gesture he makes gives people a subtle sense of pressure.
The faces of the grapes were also full of respect:
"We've searched everywhere, even the secret compartments and secret rooms, but we haven't found any secret letters or suspicious items."
"Yeah……"
Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head and looked at everyone expressionlessly.
All the grapes looked at him calmly.
“Huh~”
"impossible……"
Zeng Anmin murmured:
"Ningguo Mansion doesn't have..."
After the fall of Duke Ningguo.
At least five high-ranking officials who had any connection with Duke Ningguo were confiscated in the capital.
Some of these high-ranking officials were too close to Duke Ningguo.
Some even have close political ties.
Moreover, all the shops and real estate under the name of the Ningguo Mansion have been inspected by the people of the Imperial City Bureau.
There was nothing suspicious about it.
If you say there is nothing fishy about this, Zeng Anmin would be the first one to disbelieve it.
He took a deep breath:
"Check again!"
"If you can't find it, continue checking tomorrow!"
…
Spent a day at the Ningguo Mansion.
Less than half of the property inside was confiscated.
There is still more than half that needs to be copied tomorrow.
One can imagine how much wealth the Ningguo Mansion, which is so big, has.
It is also said that this was not the period when the Ningguo Mansion was at its peak financially.
The Ningguo Mansion's true heyday can be traced back to the late emperor...
…
Shangshu No.
Zeng Anmin frowned slightly:
"There's something fishy."
"The secret passages and hidden compartments have all been found..."
“I just can’t find any useful information.”
"If it weren't for the fact that Duke Ningguo had already rebelled."
"After I uncovered his conspiracy, I informed His Majesty in advance and asked him to investigate the Ningguo Mansion. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find anything..."
Just as Zeng Anmin was murmuring slowly.
A voice rang in his ears.
"Are you Zeng Anmin?"
who?
The voice was extremely unfamiliar.
It’s neither Bai Ziqing nor Liu Shishi.
He was a very strange man.
Zeng Anmin's eyes narrowed instantly.
My whole body tensed up.
He suddenly looked up at the roof.
His martial arts has now reached the sixth level.
His combat power has even reached the fifth level.
I didn't even notice this person coming.
He looked up.
Then he saw a young figure standing on the eaves of his house.
…
Why do so many people like to stand on my roof?
Zeng Anmin was speechless.
Bai Ziqing likes it.
Liu Shishi likes it too.
Now this person who came out of nowhere also appeared directly on the eaves.
"Who are you?"
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes and asked the man on the roof.
"I have no intention."
The man's voice came: "I am here to visit his relatives under the order of the elders of the sect."
The voice is calm and ethereal.
Careless?
Hearing this.
Zeng Anmin's expression looked a little strange.
This person is...Tao?
The Way of the Tiandao League!
He blinked hard and looked at Wuxin carefully.
The man leaned against the mottled black tiles, his moon-white Taoist robe blown into translucent clouds by the wind.
The icicles hanging from the eaves reflected light like broken silver, but could not illuminate his half-closed eyelashes.
The hustle and bustle of the distant streets and alleys faded as they reached the eaves, leaving only the cinnabar string on his wrist flickering, like a half star hanging above the mortal world.
When Zeng Anmin's gaze fell on his eyes.
He finally opened his eyes, and his pupils were filled with a dark blue that was darker and quieter than the air.
He is a handsome guy.
Zeng Anmin was certain in his heart.
He suddenly felt a sense of shame about meeting his online friend.
"Taoist..."
Even if I had known that the person opposite me was "Tao."
Zeng Anmin still pretended to frown.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly looked up, a barely perceptible smile on his face:
"Is he from my cousin's sect?!"
"How is my cousin now?"
"Are you doing well?!"
Three questions in a row.
After listening to Zeng Anmin's words, Wuxin slowly smiled.
"The sky in October longs for winter, and the people of this world do have family ties. It's interesting, interesting..."
"What the hell…"
Zeng Anmin was stunned.
He was a little... confused by Wuxin's words.
"hehe."
Wuxin chuckled and slowly floated down from the eaves.
"clatter."
He landed on the ground and stood in front of Zeng Anmin.
He gently pulled out a green sword from his back.
He stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on Qingfeng.
“Ding~”
"Listen, the sound of the sword falling is the heaven making its move."
After saying that, Wu Xin slowly put away the smile on his face and looked at Zeng Anmin calmly:
"The world is a chess game with no end."
…
What...
In his impression.
"Master...what are you talking about?"
Zeng Anmin touched his forehead.
He felt that Wuxin standing in front of him... was a bit like a charlatan.
There's even a hint of literary youth in it.
"Are you Zeng Anmin?"
Wuxin slowly put away the Qingfeng in his hand.
His eyes rested on Zeng Anmin's face.
“Guaranteed authenticity.”
Zeng Anmin frowned and nodded.
"Um……"
Wu Xin glanced at Zeng Anmin:
"I have an old friend who told me that Zeng Anmin of the Northern Saint Dynasty had reached the fifth rank of Confucianism and Taoism at the age of seventeen."
"Genius...is the chess piece held by Heaven."
"So do I."
"The snow falling in the north wind is a dream that keeps you awake in autumn."
He leaned slightly.
There seemed to be a rope in the air that was invisible to the naked eye.
For him to lean on.
Listen to him.
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched slightly.
"I just want to ask how my sister is doing in the Taoist sect..."
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
Resist the urge to chase Wuxin away on the spot.
"My Dao Sect is the destination of the heavens and the end of the mortal world."
"Master Huiying is fine."
Wuxin's body was tilted in the air, and he stretched lazily:
"I will be staying here for the next two days. Please find me an empty room."
After he finished speaking, he sighed softly again.
Then he slowly looked up at the fallen leaves in the sky.
He just reached out.
The fallen leaves were unconsciously sucked into his hands by the mystery between his fingers.
He looked at the fallen leaves in his hand and sighed softly:
"Back then, I buried my sword among the trees, and every year it grew rust in its roots. Do plants have emotions? Plants are the best at consuming human emotions."
Zeng Anmin's face became a little strange.
He looked at Wuxin slowly.
No words spoken.
"There's a whisper in the wind."
"The snow tells of regret."
"There are no distractions in this world."
"I also need to..."
He was silent for a while, and seeing no one answered, he slowly looked up at Zeng Anmin.
Zeng Anmin also looked at him indifferently.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
"I have traveled through mountains and rivers, once fell in love with a seagull, and shed tears in a hot spring..."
He was halfway through his words.
Zeng Anmin said calmly:
“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name.”
…
Wuxin's body trembled violently.
His voice stopped abruptly.
He stared at Zeng Anmin intently.
Seeing him finally calm down.
Zeng Anmin's face was still calm:
"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
"Hiss~"
Wuxin took a deep breath.
He widened his eyes, and there was even a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Breathing also became heavy.
Zeng Anmin slowly turned around, leaving him with only his back:
“The highest good is like water; it benefits all things without contention.”
"He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened; he who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty."
…
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
Wuxin's voice sounded.
Zeng Anmin heard this.
His body trembled violently.
He seemed to remember something bad.
Fellow Daoist, please stay?
Isn't this Shen Gongbao's concept weapon? ! !
His steps became faster.
"Daoyou!"
“Bang!!”
Zeng Anmin had already closed the door.
…
Wu Xin looked at the closed door.
There was a look of shock on his face.
He swallowed hard.
"Zeng Anmin... could he be the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor?!"
"With just a few words, the endless rhythm of Taoism appears faintly..."
"If I could understand it, wouldn't it be..."
He stared at the closed door.
Take a deep breath.
In his heart, he secretly made a decision that went against his ancestors.
"I won't go back to the sect yet!"
…………
Zeng Anmin was lying on the bed.
Close your eyes.
The mind is immersed in the sea of consciousness.
[Dao: I have met Zeng Anmin.]
See this.
Zeng Anmin became even more certain.
The literary youth Wuxin who is now outside the door is Dao himself!
[Nan: So what? Is Zeng Anmin different from ordinary people?!]
Sure enough, after Daogang finished speaking.
Nan couldn't wait to go online and ask.
【Dao: I only exchanged a few words with him.】
[Nan: I was indeed anxious. How can I tell someone's wisdom from just a few words?]
[Dao: No, his wisdom is comparable to the Heavenly Dao, and he is even more charismatic than the current leader of our Dao Sect's Sword Sect!]
…
The chat group of Tiandao League is a bit down.
[Nan: What do you mean by this?]
[Tao: The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name… I have never seen such a holy saying in any book!]
…
No one can understand the words of the Tao.
[North: Could it be that Brother Dao just exchanged a few words with Zeng Anmin and was already attracted by his charm and felt admiration for him?]
【Dao: Yes.】
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched a few times.
[North: Then should we still recruit Zeng An and the Tiandao League?]
[Nan: La! If such a peerless talent doesn't join our Tiandao League, it will be a real loss to us!!]
Nan didn't know what happened.
But after seeing Dao’s answer.
She knew that Zeng Anmin had convinced her with just a few words!
You know, Dao is the one who awakened Jianqitu!
He is the chosen one of the four great heavenly diagrams in the world!
Tao itself is a man of extraordinary talent!
That Zeng Anmin...
Absolutely not to be missed!
[Dao: I plan to stay in Beijing for a while longer... If I have the chance, it would be great if I could become his disciple!]
[Bei: What? Dao, don’t you have a master?]
Zeng Anmin was a little shocked.
He himself didn't expect it, it was just a few classic quotes from the Tao Te Ching.
It actually caused such a huge shock to Wu Xin's heart?
【Dao: No problem, the teacher is the teacher, the master is the master. Even if my master knew, he wouldn't care.】
Zeng Anmin touched his chin.
Okay.
[Bei: Then how do you plan to bring him into the Tiandao League?]
[Dao: This matter needs to be done slowly and there is no need to rush.]
[North: Aren't you testing his character?]
[Dao: "How can someone who can chant such a holy word so easily have a bad character? And I haven't spent all this time in the capital of the Northern Holy Dynasty in vain."]
[Tao: Zeng Anmin passed through the "Carrying Firewood" illusion array, changing identities twice within the array, and still bravely faced death.]
[Dao: He even chanted the classic line "Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave my loyalty to shine through the ages" in the illusion array!]
[Dao: There is another poem: When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer…]
As the words of the Tao become more and more.
Zeng Anmin's face looked a little strange.
Tao, Tao!
You are not the kind of person I have in my impression!
…
Dajiangchao.
Tokyo City.
Imperial Palace.
Empress Gu Xiangnan held a green cup in her hand.
Looking at the lines of text revealed on the Fengtu in his hand.
She sighed deeply.
"Such a great talent! Why doesn't my Dajiang Dynasty have one?!"
…
