Chapter 120 Your goal is the Xihuangtu!
As soon as this idea came to mind, Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
Directly calm down your restless heart.
There is too little time left in Beijing and we don’t have many clues.
We cannot conclude that the eldest princess's target is the Xihuangtu based on these clues alone.
More evidence is needed to confirm.
"Then I wonder how Your Highness would like to cooperate with me?"
Zeng Anmin looked at the extremely beautiful scenery in front of him with admiration.
It was getting dark at that time.
The row of chimes was reflected beside the eldest princess.
The wind rises and the peach blossoms fall.
The eldest princess tilted her head slightly.
The three thousand black hairs swayed gently like a waterfall.
A hint of a smile flashed across her eyes, and her red lips opened slightly:
"What do you want?"
Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up slightly.
He coughed dryly and his face turned serious:
"As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the fate of his country. Clearing out the corrupt officials in the government for the benefit of the people is my duty. How can I ask for any benefits?"
When he said this, he could hardly contain the righteous indignation in his heart.
The hair ruffled by the spring breeze reveals the youthful demeanor.
"oh?"
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zeng Anmin.
The peach-like face suddenly broke into a smile.
At this moment, it seems that the scenery of heaven and earth can only become a foil.
Zeng Anmin felt his throat was a little dry.
The other person's extremely mature face has much more mystery and past than those young girls in their twenties.
It makes people want to confide in him and become his best friend.
This woman! Why is she like a fairy?
It's okay if she's good-looking.
Even the figure...
Zeng Anmin glanced at it inconspicuously.
The other person's curves were too full and well-proportioned under the tightly wrapped black shirt.
Zeng Anmin even felt that if someone knelt on the ground and looked up, they might not be able to see the eldest princess's face.
All that can be seen is the proudly towering hills.
"He can speak sweetly and get things done efficiently. No one dislikes such a minister."
The princess did not directly respond to Zeng Anmin's words, but simply changed the subject, her noble air overflowing from the courtyard:
“But those who are in charge of the household cannot remain deaf and dumb.”
The eldest princess gently raised her arm and raised it lightly with her slender fingers.
As she raised her arms, her wide black sleeves slowly slid down, revealing her jade-like arms.
As she made this move.
Chi Bufan, who was standing beside him, was even more respectful. He slowly bent down, took out two things from his pocket, and walked in front of Zeng Anmin:
"This warrant allows you to enter and leave the palace freely and go to Your Highness's Yong'an Palace at any time."
"As for this thing..."
After Chi Bufan handed over the token, he showed another thing in his hand. When he said this, his face was full of pain, but he didn't dare to say much, just introduced:
"This jade pendant is called the Body-Protecting Jade."
"When worn on the body, it can withstand a full-strength attack from a fourth-rank master in any system."
A full-strength attack from a fourth-rank master?!
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
This is definitely good stuff!
It's even a great thing that can make a comeback at the critical moment! !
It's obvious.
I was extremely moved.
But Zeng Anmin felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he just said that, and now he's immediately destroying his own image?
I have to think of a way to accept the things cleverly without ruining my character.
Zeng Anmin frowned tightly.
"Take it." The princess looked at Zeng Anmin calmly.
"Only in this way can we avoid disheartening our ministers."
Good person!
Zeng Anmin was just worrying about having no way out, when the princess gave him a solution just in time!
He sighed deeply, and took the two things in his hands with an embarrassed look on his face:
"If I don't accept it, I'll seem hypocritical. Thank you, Your Highness."
"Um."
The eldest princess chuckled. After looking Zeng Anmin up and down, she asked with a smile in her eyes:
"How old is Quan Fu now?"
Zeng Anmin coughed dryly and said, "Seventeen years old."
"Are you married?"
"Forehead……"
Zeng Anmin blinked and looked up at the eldest princess's extremely seductive eyes.
No.
I think you are good.
Of course, this can only be thought about in your mind.
His face was serious: "If the demon race is not destroyed, how can we have a home?"
"Haha." After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, the princess gave up the idea of matchmaking for him. She just nodded slightly, her eyes becoming serious.
"In addition to finding out who's behind this, I have another matter that I need you to investigate."
Um?
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.
Here it comes.
What the eldest princess’s real purpose is depends on what she says next.
He raised his head solemnly and looked at the eldest princess seriously.
"You don't have to be so vigilant."
The princess saw Zeng Anmin's eyes and laughed softly, then her voice softened:
"Your cousin and I have a long history together, and we have a very close relationship in private."
"Come to think of it, you can call me sister."
oh?
After hearing this, Zeng Anmin's eyes flashed for a moment.
If that's the case, then I'm a generation older than the little fat prince!
Then wouldn't he have to call me uncle, uh...uncle?
The eldest princess did not notice Zeng Anmin's little thoughts.
She said to herself:
"It's just that after the Duke Zhongyuan's mansion was framed by Prince Qi and their property was ransacked, your cousin left home and has not been heard from since."
Having said that, she sighed softly.
It seems like lamenting the departure of an old friend.
"For years, I have been secretly searching for evidence to overturn the case against the Zhongyuan Marquis's family, but I never imagined that you and your son would get ahead of me."
Hearing this, a hint of trance slowly appeared in Zeng Anmin's eyes.
It turned out that the eldest princess had already set her sights on her father and son at that time.
At the same time, he also confirmed the idea in his mind.
Overturn the verdict for Earl Zhongyuan?
It sounds nice, but it's just an excuse.
There are so many officials in the capital, and they all have the nature of not doing anything without profit.
If there weren't enough benefits, who would go out of their way to overturn the verdict for a family that had already lost power?
"So, Your Highness wants me to investigate..."
Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head, looked directly at the eldest princess, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"Xihuangtu?!"
As his voice rang out.
The whole yard fell into silence.
The eldest princess's originally sharp eyes couldn't help but become dull for a moment.
Against the backdrop of that beautiful face, she looks a little cute.
Her brain even went into a state of shutdown.
Chi Bufan was also stunned.
The only sound in the entire yard was the sound of the spring breeze gently blowing through the peach blossoms.
There was no more noise.
Zeng Anmin just stood there calmly, with a slight smile on his lips.
The young man's confidence and assertiveness are clearly revealed at this moment!
After a long time.
The eldest princess's eyes gradually became sharp, and her peach-like eyes slowly narrowed.
Like a knife, it slowly cut into Zeng Anmin's body.
"You do know."
At this time, Chi Bufan's fists had slowly clenched, and he stared at Zeng Anmin intently.
All the muscles in my body are tense.
As long as the princess gives the order, Zeng Anmin can be captured and killed on the spot with lightning speed!
Zeng Anmin's expression did not change at all, instead he became more relaxed.
After the eldest princess said the words "You really know".
He was already certain.
The eldest princess had long since begun to suspect that she and her father knew about the Xihuangtu being in the Zhongyuan Earl's mansion!
A bright smile spread across his face:
"Since we can try to eliminate King Qi."
"Then I naturally know King Qi's purpose very well."
"Your Highness has always set his sights on Prince Qi's Mansion, even spending the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce's decades of wealth. Apart from the Xihuang Map, I can't think of any other purpose for Your Highness."
"Besides, Your Highness went to great lengths to coax me to the Liu Mansion today. Wasn't it just to test me?"
Zeng Anmin's smile is still as bright as ever.
But his eyes showed calmness and composure, he looked straight at the eldest princess:
"My father and I were the masterminds of the Qi Wang case. Everyone in the capital can see it."
"And it just so happened that when Prince Qi's mansion was being raided, Chi Bufan entered the ancestral hall a step later than me."
"So at that time, Your Highness already suspected that I knew something... Because if Your Highness's original goal was the Xihuang Diagram, any movement regarding the Zhongyuan Marquis's Mansion would have made you suspicious."
"So, you will enroll Liu Xian in the Imperial College."
"This is just a casual move on your part. I just want to see if he can make friends with me."
"There are too many coincidences in this world. You didn't expect that I would doubt you and Liangyou Chamber of Commerce because of the poisoning case of Lou Yingqi's son."
"I simply used this suspicion to ask Liu Xian, um... Liu Xian's mother to invite me to the Liu Mansion."
After Zeng Anmin said this, he blinked slightly, but the smile on his lips remained unchanged:
"When they saw me, they gave me account books and treasures..."
"Your Highness has really gone to great lengths to test me."
Having said that, Zeng Anmin shut up.
He wanted to give the eldest princess some time to think.
Since I already know that the eldest princess has doubts about me.
Then just state the suspicion directly.
Otherwise, if we work together in the future, you'll be suspicious of me, and I'll be wary of you...
Not conducive to unity!
The eldest princess's expression was calm at first, then confused, slowly turned into surprise, and finally calm.
Even now I can't hide my admiration for him.
You know what, this change in expression is quite nice...
After he spoke, the eldest princess's eyes were fixed on him.
Until he finished speaking for a long time.
The eldest princess slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes became full of admiration.
"Now, I feel that asking you to search for the Xihuang Diagram... seems a bit of a waste of your talent."
The eldest princess did not hide her purpose. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zeng Anmin with interest.
Zeng Anmin smiled modestly.
His face slowly grew serious, and then he looked into the distance, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his eyes:
"The Xihuangtu is nothing but floating clouds to me."
"However, my father has not yet taken root in the court, so he needs Your Highness's care and attention."
It is actually not a bad thing to proactively expose your weaknesses to the boss.
At the very least, when the eldest princess hears what I said, she will definitely feel that I have something on her.
She will feel safe.
Just a few simple words revealed everything about both parties.
Sort everything out.
It's very simple.
I know you want the Xihuangtu.
I can help you find the Xihuangtu.
But my father's position in the court is not very stable now, you have to ensure his safety.
Sure enough, after hearing Zeng Anmin's words.
The eldest princess pondered for a while.
Then he nodded slightly:
"Can."
Zeng Anmin smiled.
The fundamental reason that allows both parties to come together as much as possible.
It's about profit.
It's not surprising that the eldest princess agreed to this.
Moreover, there are only benefits and no disadvantages in cooperating with the eldest princess.
First, Dad will definitely be able to obtain more political resources and quickly gain a foothold in Beijing.
Second, the eldest princess has been planning in the capital for so long, so no matter what we do in the future, we can get more information and clues from the eldest princess.
Third, the Xihuangtu... To be honest, it is not very useful to me, but if I can really use the help of the eldest princess to find it, it will definitely be much faster than going it alone.
As for whether to give it to the princess after finding it, we will decide when the time comes.
fourth……
Zeng Anmin looked at Chi Bufan who was beside the eldest princess.
After Bai Ziqing left Beijing, he lost a military general by his side.
I feel quite insecure.
This Chi Bufan...although he is a bit disgusting.
But during the time when Brother Bai is not in Beijing, I can still serve as a bodyguard.
"Your Highness, the time has come. If we delay any further..."
Chi Bufan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind the princess.
"Um."
The eldest princess slowly stood up.
He began to put away the chimes in the courtyard in an orderly manner.
As she stood up, her curves became clearer in Zeng Anmin's eyes.
Chi Bufan also hurried over to help.
Soon, the eldest princess walked out of the courtyard and slowly disappeared from Zeng Anmin's sight.
"Farewell, Your Highness."
Zeng Anmin saluted.
…
"Brother Quan Fu?"
Liu Xian looked at Zeng Anmin with an embarrassed expression.
Obviously, he already knew what had happened.
Zeng Anmin didn't look at him, but instead fixed his gaze on the wealthy middle-aged man next to him.
"President Liu? I've heard a lot about you."
Zeng Anmin's expression was indifferent as he saluted nonchalantly.
"Mr. Zeng, there's no need to do this..."
Liu Sanjiang's face was filled with a kind smile: "Xian'er's biological mother is in the backyard."
"Um."
Zeng Anmin nodded, and without saying much to Liu Sanjiang, he grabbed Liu Xian and headed towards the backyard.
Since we are doing a show, we must do the whole thing.
Since we have reached an agreement with the eldest princess in Liu Mansion today, it is only right that we help prevent the eldest princess’ whereabouts from being exposed.
"Brother Quan Fu, I'm sorry, I really don't know..."
After the two of them left the yard, Liu Xian's face flushed with embarrassment.
"I don't blame you."
Zeng Anmin sighed slowly.
Willow String...
Under the arrangement of his biological father.
Became a pawn in the hands of the eldest princess.
Even when he was completely unaware, he still did something for the princess like a puppet.
He even felt that he really hated the feeling of betrayal.
If the princess insists on killing Liu Xian...
I don’t know what the eldest princess will choose?
Zeng Anmin's eyes became deep, and he said slowly:
"If you don't want to be manipulated by others."
"Then study hard."
"Hmm?" Liu Xian looked at Zeng Anmin blankly.
have to!
Zeng Anmin looked at him with disdain, ignored him, and walked forward alone.
