My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 120 Your goal is the Xihuangtu!
As soon as this thought came to mind, Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

Directly calm down your restless heart.

We have too little time to enter Beijing now and 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 wants to cooperate with me?"

Zeng Anmin looked at the extremely beautiful scenery in front of him with admiration.

It was nearly dark.

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 rosy red lips slightly opened:
"what do you want?"

Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up slightly.

He coughed dryly, and his face became serious:

"As the saying goes, every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. It is my duty to clear out the corrupt officials in the government for the benefit of the people. How can I talk about any benefits?"

When he said this, he could hardly suppress the righteous indignation in his heart.

The hair ruffled by the spring breeze shows the youthful demeanor.

"Oh?"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zeng Anmin.

The peach-like face instantly 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 extremely mature face of the other person has much more mystery and past than those young girls of that age.

It makes people want to confide in him and become his close friend.

This woman! Why is she like a fairy?
It's okay if she's good-looking.

Even her 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 you can see is the proudly towering hills.

"He can speak eloquently and do things efficiently. No one dislikes such a minister."

The princess did not directly respond to Zeng Anmin's words, but changed the subject, her noble air overflowing from the courtyard:
“But those who are in charge of the house 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, the wide black sleeves slowly slid down, revealing her jade-like arms.

As she made this move.

Chi Bufan on the side was even more respectful. He slowly bent down, took out two things from his arms, 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!
Even a good thing that can make a comeback at a critical moment! !
It is clear.

I was extremely moved.

But Zeng Anmin felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he just said those words, and now he is 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 disappointing our subjects."

What a good man!
Zeng Anmin was just worrying about having no way out, and the princess gave him a way out so timely!

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 will seem hypocritical. Thank you, Your Highness."

"Ah."

The 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, "I am seventeen years old."

"Is there a marriage?"

"Forehead……"

Zeng Anmin blinked and looked up at the eldest princess's extremely seductive eyes.

No.

I think you are good.

Of course, I can only think about this in my mind.

He looked 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 is behind this, I have another matter that I need you to investigate."

Ok?
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.

coming.

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:
"I and your cousin had 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 flickered for a moment.

If that's the case, then I am a generation older than the little fat prince!
Doesn't that mean he has 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 King Qi and the house was ransacked, your cousin left and has not been heard from since."

Having said this, she sighed softly.

It seems like lamenting the departure of an old friend.

"Over the years, I have been secretly looking for evidence to overturn the case of the Zhongyuan Marquis's Mansion, but I never thought that you and your son would get the upper hand."

Hearing this, a hint of trance slowly appeared in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

It turned out that at that time the eldest princess had already set her sights on her father and son.

At the same time, he also confirmed the idea in his mind.

To overturn the verdict for Earl Zhongyuan?

That sounds nice, but it's just an excuse.

There are so many officials in the capital, and all of them are the kind of people who will not do anything without benefits.

If there weren't enough benefits, who would go to the trouble of overturning a verdict for a family that had already lost power?

"So, Your Highness wants me to check..."

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head, looked directly at the princess, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"Xihuangtu?!"

As his voice sounded.

The whole yard fell into silence.

The eldest princess's originally sharp eyes couldn't help but become dull for a moment.

Against that beautiful face, she looks somewhat 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 were slowly clenched, and he stared at Zeng Anmin intently. All the muscles in his body were 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 princess had long begun to suspect that she and her father knew that the Xihuangtu was in the Zhongyuan Earl's mansion! !
His face was filled with a bright smile:
"Since we can try to eliminate King Qi."

"Then I naturally know King Qi's purpose very well."

"Your Highness has been keeping his sights on Prince Qi's Mansion, and even spent the family wealth of the Good Friend Chamber of Commerce for decades. 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 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 the Qi Wang Mansion was confiscated, Chi Bufan entered the ancestral hall one step later than me."

"So at that time, Your Highness had already suspected whether I knew something... Because if Your Highness's original goal was the Xihuangtu, any movement in the Zhongyuan Marquis's Mansion would make 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."

"It's just that 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 case of Lou Yingqi's son being poisoned."

"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 met me, they gave me the account book and treasures..."

"Your Highness has really gone to great lengths to test me."

Having said that, Zeng Anmin shut his mouth.

He wanted to give the eldest princess some time to think.

Since I already know that the eldest princess has doubts about me.

Then why not just state the suspicion directly.

Otherwise, in the future when we work together, you will doubt me and I will 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 it.

You know what, this change in expression is quite nice...

After he opened his mouth, 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 appreciative.

"Now, I feel that asking you to look for the Xihuangtu...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 became serious, and then he looked into the distance, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes:
"The Xihuangtu is nothing but floating clouds to me."

"It's just that my father has not yet taken root in the court, so I need Your Highness to take care of him."

It is 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 sentences revealed everything about both parties.

Sort everything out.

Very simple.

I know you want the Xihuangtu.

I can help you find the Xihuangtu.

But my father's foundation in the court is not very stable now, you have to ensure his safety.

Sure enough, after hearing Zeng Anmin's words.

The princess pondered for a while.

Then he nodded gently:

"can."

Zeng Anmin smiled.

The fundamental reason that allows both parties to come together as much as possible.

It's about benefits.

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.

Thirdly, the Xihuangtu...to be honest, it is not very useful to me, but if I can really rely on 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 towards Chi Bufan who was beside the eldest princess.

After Bai Ziqing left Beijing, he was left with one less general by his side.

I feel quite insecure.

This Chi Bufan... 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 still couldn't help but remind the princess.

"Ah."

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 moved out of the courtyard and slowly disappeared from Zeng Anmin's sight.

"Farewell to 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 by now.

Zeng Anmin didn't look at him, but instead fixed his eyes on the wealthy middle-aged man next to him.

"President Liu? I've heard a lot about you."

Zeng Anmin had an indifferent expression and bowed nonchalantly.

"Mr. Zeng, there is no need to do this..."

Liu Sanjiang had a kind smile on his face: "Xian'er's biological mother is in the backyard."

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin nodded, and without saying much to Liu Sanjiang, he grabbed Liu Xian and headed towards the backyard.

Since it's a show, we have to do it in full.

Since we have reached an agreement with the Princess at the Liu Mansion today, it is only right that we help prevent the 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 turned red and she looked embarrassed.

"Do not 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 things 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 controlled by others."

"Then study hard."

"Hmm?" Liu Xian looked at Zeng Anmin blankly.

Got it!
Zeng Anmin looked at him with disdain, ignored him, and walked forward alone.
