At this moment, everything about Ning Ye was recorded on the old man's desk.
Every single thing was described in great detail. Of course, some things were not witnessed firsthand and there were some discrepancies, but that doesn't matter.
“Wang Mingyuan has been away from the capital long enough. Since he doesn’t want to come back, then we shouldn’t let him come back. Ning Ye must not be allowed to stay any longer.”
Liu Bai nodded and said, "Teacher is right. However, this person is very cautious and always has guards with him when he goes out. Moreover, his own combat strength is not low. If we have enough manpower here, it will probably be difficult to take him down directly."
The old man said calmly, "Have you forgotten what I taught you? The best strategy is to use one tiger to devour another. You don't have to do everything yourself. If you do everything yourself, you'll be worked to death."
"I don't know what the teacher means?"
"That Prince Jingyang thought his disguise was flawless, but little did he know how many people in the world hadn't seen through his wolfish ambitions, and how many people he had at his disposal."
Liu Bai's face lit up with joy. "Thank you for the reminder, teacher. He is indeed an invincible tiger. I'm afraid there is no one in Cangzhou who can stand against King Jingyang."
The old man shook his head and said, "Don't overestimate others, but don't underestimate your opponents either. That military governor of Cangzhou is not someone to be trifled with. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have sent him here specifically to keep an eye on Prince Jingyang."
That concluded their conversation. Liu Bai left the study, as he had other things to do.
Meanwhile, Old Man Bai went out with Young Master Meng to broaden his horizons.
Since the two began selling books together, Young Master Meng, being quite shrewd, realized that Cangzhou was a vast and populous region, so he didn't plan to sell the books there. Instead, he moved all the books to Liangzhou.
Although Cangzhou and Liangzhou are adjacent, Liangzhou is a completely different place. It has always had four distinct seasons and favorable weather. Although it is not a place of great wealth and prosperity, it is definitely one of the most stable places.
The saying "When you're well-fed and warm, you start thinking about sex" is absolutely true. If you can't even fill your stomach, how can you have the leisure to think about these things?
After Meng Wenzhou brought the books here, it opened a new world for the many students here. After all, no one would have openly sold such things before.
Old Man Bai had always been a storyteller, which was actually quite good. The reason Meng Wenzhou insisted on bringing Old Man Bai along this time was so that Old Man Bai could also help out.
After all, Meng Wenzhou doesn't have many people he can rely on for this business. If we're talking about who he trusts the most, then Old Man Bai is definitely the first one to come to mind.
Bai Ling has always been taken care of by Ning Ye, which is why the old man Bai felt at ease coming along. After all, this business is very important, as it can earn several thousand taels of silver every month, and sometimes even more.
Looking at the bustling streets outside, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "It's the same city, but the difference is so great. It's truly enviable."
Meng Wenzhou smiled and said, "Grandpa Bai, you don't need to be envious. We'll be living here from now on. Of course, you can go back whenever you want. I will never force you to stay."
Old Bai stretched and said, "Since we're already here, let's stay a little longer. Anyway, there's no need for me to rush back. Of course, if anything really happens, you'd better tell me clearly, otherwise my brain might not be able to process it."
Meng Wenzhou rubbed his hands together. "Actually, I invited you here today because I have a favor to ask. Otherwise, I would definitely make sure you don't feel uncomfortable at all. This matter is very simple."
Old Master Bai glanced at Meng Wenzhou. "I've eaten more food than you've eaten salt. You might be able to fool others with this, but it's not enough to fool me. The moment you said it, things were already more complicated than they seemed."
"It's true that nothing can escape your discerning eyes. I did indeed take on a slightly troublesome task for you, but it was all for our grand cause, and I had absolutely no other intentions."
Old Master Bai was a man who had seen a lot in his life. After patiently listening to Meng Wenzhou's explanation, he was already considering whether to jump out of the car and run away.
What a joke! I'm just an old man, telling stories is one thing, but now I have to put on a show in front of people? Isn't that just putting myself on the fire to roast? What have I ever done to deserve this?
These things weren't written by me in the first place. Now you're asking me to go out and talk about them? Isn't that just fooling people? How can I do something like that?
Until Meng Wenzhou silently extended a hand, "If you are willing to do it, Old Master Bai, I am willing to offer you five hundred taels of silver with both hands right now."
Old Man Bai coughed twice and said, "Originally, I wasn't going to agree, but seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly agree. I'll take care of it. Now, take me to the place quickly and see how this old man will teach you a lesson."
There's no need for a welcoming feast now, since Meng Wenzhou originally planned to get Old Master Bai to start his business as soon as he arrived, and these enthusiastic scholars simply booked a large restaurant.
The moment Old Master Bai walked in, his demeanor seemed to change, and he actually looked quite like a sage.
It's also thanks to the fact that Old Man Bai often chatted with Sikong Changfeng and the others, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for him to pretend now.
The moment Old Man Bai walked in, countless eyes were drawn to him. Old Man Bai then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we have gathered here today to discuss literature. I hope that you will all continue to strive forward in the future."
The large group of old perverts who had gathered together were all a little dazed for a moment. Could it be that they had really come to attend some legitimate book club?
However, this did not dampen their enthusiasm, after all, just two books were enough to show how terrifying the author behind them really was.
How could they not be excited to see the real people up close?
Regardless of what kind of interest or hobby it is, as long as he has it, it should be respected. After all, many things between people are beyond our control.
At first, Meng Wenzhou was worried that Old Man Bai would get stage fright, but now it seems that Old Man Bai has clearly gotten into the zone, and is even better than he expected.
