Chapter 165 Peach Blossoms Still Smiling in the Spring Breeze
The next day.
Zeng Anmin was wearing a blue shirt, riding on a horse, with a folding fan on his waist.
Walking slowly towards the distance.
Today is the time the eldest princess has agreed to have a private meeting.
"Sister, go forward bravely!"
Zeng Anmin was humming a little tune, holding a dry red dogtail grass in his mouth, riding on a horse and heading towards Liu Mansion.
"Da, da, da."
The sound of horse hooves echoed rhythmically in the street.
"Liu Mansion!"
Zeng Anmin looked up.
Same as last time.
It's still that plaque.
Zeng Anmin dismounted, tied up the horse and headed towards the mansion.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Is anyone there? I'm here to look for Liu Xian."
Zeng Anmin's voice reached the mansion.
Since the eldest princess sent someone to deliver the secret letter.
She definitely didn't want anyone to know that she was looking for her.
So Zeng Anmin must have used another excuse.
And Liu Xian is his classmate.
Nature is a very clever excuse.
"Squeak~"
Someone opened the door. It was a servant from the Liu Mansion.
After seeing Zeng Anmin's face, the servant was stunned for a moment, then he said respectfully:
"Master Zeng is here?"
It can be seen that Liu Xian did a good job.
The entire Liu Mansion should recognize my face.
"I'm here to look for your young master."
Zeng Anmin yawned, looked around, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are they?"
"In the mansion, please ask Master Zeng to come with me."
…
After entering the Liu Mansion, Zeng Anmin looked around.
It’s the same as last time.
Follow this person all the way to the main courtyard.
Then I saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the main courtyard.
"Meet uncle."
The figure in front of him was none other than Liu Sanjiang, the owner of the Liu Mansion and the president of the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce.
"Meet the Master."
The servant also saluted quickly.
"Well, you can go down." Liu Sanjiang's face was calm.
"yes."
After the servant respectfully withdrew.
Liu Sanjiang's eyes also became slightly respectful. He came to Zeng Anmin's side and said, "Young Master, please follow me to the main hall."
Zeng Anmin knew it when he saw his expression.
He probably already knew that the eldest princess was waiting for him here.
"Uncle, please."
Zeng Anmin smiled and followed Liu Sanjiang towards the main hall.
Soon, the two arrived at the familiar place they were at last time.
It was also here that Zeng Anmin met the eldest princess for the first time in his life.
The yard is still the same yard.
But the peach blossoms on the peach tree in the yard are not as bright as last time.
The peach blossoms on the tree I saw here last time, just a gentle breeze was enough to blow the enchanting peach blossoms on the princess's black hair.
“Ding ding ding~”
As soon as I arrived here, I heard the familiar sound of chimes.
“Good song.”
Zeng Anmin's face showed an expression of great admiration: "Your Highness, the sound of the chimes is truly the most beautiful sound in the world."
"This song should only exist in heaven, rarely heard in the world."
In front of Liu Sanjiang, his praise was extremely explicit.
Liu Sanjiang opened his mouth.
In the end, he didn't say anything.
"Go ahead."
Liu Sanjiang said solemnly, "His Highness is in the courtyard."
"Um."
After Zeng Anmin nodded, he strode towards the courtyard.
Step over the threshold.
Then he saw a familiar figure sitting there, with graceful curves and a skin as white as jade, stretching out his hand and lightly striking the chimes.
The last time I saw the eldest princess here, she was accompanied by that disgusting cross-dressing actor Chi Bufan.
This time, only the eldest princess was there.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Zeng Anmin walked slowly and came behind the eldest princess.
Those eyes were extremely serious as they carefully examined the eldest princess' back.
The swan's neck is extremely beautiful.
The back is straight, seemingly thin, but very curvy.
Every place seems perfect.
Because there was no third person, and the eldest princess had her back to him.
So Zeng Anmin's gaze was very presumptuous.
He wished he could use his eyes to see every inch of the princess's back in his arms...
“Ding ding ding~”
The eldest princess did not stop.
Instead, he continued to strike the chimes.
He waited until the song was over before gently putting down the hammer.
Zeng Anmin stood there quietly, without any sign of impatience.
Because he could look at the eldest princess's back more unscrupulously.
To be honest, this eldest princess is really gifted.
Even if it's just a back.
But the curves from the shoulders down made the young man's mouth dry.
Especially the curve of the hips below the waist.
Zeng Anmin had never seen such a plump and beautiful figure before.
Now the eldest princess has only one flaw in his mind.
That's too perfect.
Finally, the song ended.
The eldest princess still didn't look back, she seemed a little absent-minded.
He stared at the chimes in front of him for a long time without saying anything.
This is good for Zeng Anmin.
Her silence meant that he could continue to watch without restraint.
There is a saying that goes, looking at beautiful women can prolong your life.
That's true.
Zeng Anmin’s greatest hobby in life is looking at beautiful women.
"Have you found any clues to the Xihuangtu these days?"
The eldest princess's clear voice rang out.
It is still so magnetic and unforgettable.
Zeng Anmin did not neglect it and bowed earnestly to his back:
"There are so many people in Beijing, and it's hard for me to track some places."
The eldest princess turned her face slightly to the side.
Showing a pointed chin, the side face is beautiful:
"Why did I hear that you haven't been out lately?"
Well.
Zeng Anmin smiled awkwardly, but his face remained calm:
"The Xihuangtu involves a wide range of people, from the Zhongyuan Marquis' Mansion seven years ago to now. It takes time, and I don't have an intelligence network, so it's extremely difficult to investigate."
Of course he couldn't say that he didn't check at all.
The eldest princess's face slowly turned to the side.
It can be seen that she doesn't want to discuss such meaningless topics with Zeng Anmin.
"There's going to be a war."
There was a hint of solemnity in the eldest princess' voice.
Zeng Anmin coughed and replied seriously, "Your Highness has a keen eye. If nothing unexpected happens, within two months, my Great Saint Dynasty may have to launch an attack on the Yangtze River."
The eldest princess raised her hand gently and slowly stood up from the chair.
Turning around, those beautiful eyes looked at Zeng Anmin.
Zeng Anmin looked at him calmly.
Their eyes met.
Those eyes are extremely beautiful.
Although the eldest princess is a little older.
But those eyes were still as lively as a girl's.
"You must participate in this southern expedition."
Um?
Zeng Anmin was a little confused.
He looked up at the princess blankly and asked, "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
"Uncle Zhongyuan, your cousin-in-law who died seven years ago."
The eldest princess's eyes were filled with a deep feeling:
"There is a junior fellow student named Wu Qianfeng."
who?
Zeng Anmin looked up suddenly.
His eyes turned towards the eldest princess.
There was astonishment in his eyes: "Wu Qianfeng?"
Hearing his words, the eldest princess frowned slightly: "Do you know him?"
It's more than just knowing each other.
Just yesterday, he was still calling me Master Zeng in the military camp.
"I've heard that Wu Qianfeng has a good talent for martial arts."
Zeng Anmin felt there was no need to hide this.
"Well, Wu Qianfeng is under the command of Tian Ji in the army. He is very likely to participate in our Great Saint Dynasty's expedition to the south this time."
The princess narrowed her eyes and said, "And this time, the expedition to the south will take place at the Baidengshan Trail at Yumen Pass. You can use the name of the Mandarin Duck Formation to join this southern expedition and make contact with Wu Qianfeng."
"See if we can get more information about the Xihuangtu from him."
Zeng Anmin touched his chin, then said awkwardly:
"Your Highness, it would be dangerous for a scholar like me to participate in such a war... My father would definitely not let me go."
"hehe."
The eldest princess looked at Zeng Anmin with a smile, but she did not answer the question immediately.
Instead, he changed the subject and asked:
"Do you know who would be the most suitable person to lead the 5,000-strong Mandarin Duck Army if Tian Ji were to train it and march south?"
Zeng Anmin frowned.
He really hadn't heard of this news.
After a moment of silence, Zeng Anmin pondered:
"As far as I know, Qin Shoucheng, as a great scholar, is an extremely suitable candidate for this war against the South."
The princess smiled and nodded slightly:
"That's true, but Qin Shoucheng is a Confucian scholar. He can be an inspector of the army, but not a commander."
"A general must be at least a fifth-rank martial arts master or higher in order to control the troops during a major battle."
"Although the Yuanyang Army is newly formed, it is no ordinary army, so Your Majesty will definitely select a trustworthy member of the royal family to lead it."
Someone from the royal family?
"Then I don't know."
Zeng Namin looked at the eldest princess calmly.
He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of anyone in the royal family who could take on this position.
"There is only one person in the royal family who has earned His Majesty's trust and has achieved great success in martial arts."
The eldest princess looked towards Zeng Anmin.
There was a sharp gleam in those sharp phoenix eyes.
nice!
Zeng Anmin secretly praised in his heart.
"who?"
He asked subconsciously.
"This palace."
The corners of the eldest princess' mouth curled up slightly.
? ?
Zeng Anmin suddenly looked up and looked at the eldest princess again.
The eldest princess? ?
"you?!!"
Zeng Anmin accidentally lost his voice.
no.
What kind of martial arts did you practice?
"I am a fourth-rank martial artist."
The eldest princess looked at the somewhat inappropriate expression on Zeng Anmin's face.
The corners of his mouth lifted up unconsciously.
The next moment.
She slowly reached out her hand.
An extremely oppressive atmosphere flashed in the courtyard.
“Huh~”
There seems to be a howling wind.
The fallen leaves in the yard and the peach blossoms on the peach trees groaned as if they could not bear the heavy burden.
at the same time.
Zeng Anmin saw it very clearly.
The eldest princess's phoenix eyes changed color.
What a dark color it was originally.
It turned into a blue color that sparkled with essence.
Extremely weird.
But it looks great.
"So, even though I had my back to you just now, every word and action of yours was within my consciousness."
The eldest princess's face gradually turned cold.
She walked towards Zeng Anmin step by step.
"Da, da, da."
She is extremely tall.
"Just now, your eyes were fixed on me. What were you looking at?"
That’s all I have to say.
The eldest princess' voice was already extremely cold.
Well.
Zeng Anmin swore.
He really didn't know that the eldest princess was actually a fourth-rank martial artist!
The entire Great Saint Dynasty and the Nanjiang Dynasty combined have no more than thirty people at the fourth level!
"This..."
Zeng Anmin looked at the eldest princess who was so close to him.
You can even see the lines on her extremely fair and tender skin.
He smiled stiffly.
Then he rolled his eyes, and the next moment, his voice became extremely serious:
"I was just thinking, the last time I saw Your Highness here, the peach blossoms in the courtyard were all there to complement the princess, but this time I came here and found that the peach blossoms were no longer as bright."
"But the scenery in this courtyard is still as good as last time."
"Looking at the princess's back again, my heart was moved. A mixture of emotions filled me, so I wrote a poem."
"That's why I was a little lost in thought when I looked at His Highness's back."
He felt the oppression coming from the eldest princess.
I wanted to curse in my heart.
The eldest princess is actually a fourth-rank warrior!
This was extremely explosive news for him!
I've never heard of it before!
"poetry?"
The eldest princess slowly subsided.
She looked at Zeng Anmin with a half-smile:
"It wasn't a dream, was it?"
"Uh." Zeng Anmin's face froze, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "I have gained something, it has nothing to do with the dream."
It seems that what I said in my dream when I saw the eldest princess in the palace last time came true.
Made the princess feel a little bit... teasing?
The eldest princess looked him up and down with a look of uncertainty in her eyes.
He didn't say anything.
The yard fell into silence.
"Now that you have a poem, please write it down for me to listen to."
The eldest princess chuckled and slowly sat back down.
She gently picked up the hammer beside her.
Strike the chimes little by little:
"I have the palace's chimes to accompany the music. I hope your poem will not dishonor the sound of the palace's chimes."
“Ding ding ding~”
A clear bell rang.
Like a small bridge and flowing water.
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
He took slow steps.
One step, two steps, three steps.
The sound of the chimes is still like a drizzle, ringing in my ears.
All the poems he had learned in his previous life slowly emerged in Zeng Anmin's mind.
What he said just now was just to deal with his own offense.
How could he have imagined that the eldest princess was actually a fourth-rank warrior?!
Now I have to pick out a poem that suits the occasion.
How could it be that easy?
“Ding ding ding~”
Time passes by little by little.
The sound of the chimes became a little hurried.
Zeng Anmin heard the urging meaning of the bell.
"Ahem."
Zeng Anmin didn't dare to think about it anymore. His eyes looked towards the peach tree in the yard.
My heart slowly moved.
A line of poetry came out of my mouth subconsciously:
"Last year on this day, I was in this door."
"The face of a man and the peach blossoms complement each other red."
As soon as these two sentences were spoken, the sound of the chimes became slightly stagnant.
The "human face" and "peach blossoms" reflect each other, like a beautiful picture.
A hint of blood slowly appeared on the eldest princess's face.
But the hands striking the chimes did not stop.
She really wanted to hear the following two sentences.
Zeng Anmin's voice gradually became deeper as the chimes changed.
He took two more steps forward and spoke slowly:
"I don't know where the person is."
"The peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."
When I come back today, I feel that everything has changed, but the peach blossoms are still blooming in the spring breeze.
But the beautiful girl has disappeared, leaving people with infinite melancholy and regret, with endless charm and endless aftertaste...
The words fell.
The bells have stopped ringing.
The entire yard fell into silence as Zeng Anmin finished speaking.
The meaning of this poem is so interesting.
Zeng Anmin's "last year."
It seemed to reflect the last time he and the eldest princess met for the first time in this door.
The eldest princess looked a little dazed at this time.
She pursed her lips.
In the end, he didn't look up.
