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

Chapter 150: Ode to the Willow
A mysterious feeling.

Zeng Anmin's eyes were fixed on the string of beads on the table that looked like white bones.

There was a vague light in his eyes.

He seemed to be in a daze.

It also sounds like whispering.

"Boom~"

A sound of bells rang in his ears, as if from ancient times, coming down the long river of time and reaching his ears.

The sound of the bell is extremely loud.

It seems to carry the sound of Sanskrit.

Can't understand.

But it is extremely shocking.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Zeng Anmin felt like he had suddenly realized something.

He felt as if a gentle breath passed through his mouth.

But when he tasted it carefully, he found there was nothing.

Just when he wanted to explore the mystery.

When looking towards the next bead.

This mysterious feeling disappeared.

Zeng Anmin's expression returned to normal.

[Slow epiphany: remaining time 0]

Then he saw [Slow Enlightenment] disappear on the gold finger panel.

"Whoo~"

Zeng Anmin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his white hand and picked up the beads on the table.

There was a look of confusion in his eyes.

"What did you realize just now?"

He knew that he had comprehended some kind of magical power from the bead.

But he couldn't remember what it was exactly.

"No matter what it is, this necklace definitely hides a huge secret."

Zeng Anmin looked at the eerie necklace with burning eyes.

Without much hesitation, he put it into his preparation space.

“Today’s gains are really huge.”

Zeng Anmin stretched out his hand, his eyes fixed intently on his fingers.

next moment.

A golden light rose from the fingertips.

"Golden righteousness..."

Zeng Anmin looked thoughtfully at the ball of light emitting mighty power.

"It should be the result of compression and condensation after each enlightenment of the Six Arts..."

……

royal palace.

Royal study room.

After Bai Ziqing finished explaining the last detail of the Huang Yuangao case, he stood respectfully with his head lowered.

In front of him sat Emperor Jianhong.

At this time, Emperor Jianhong was not wearing a dragon robe, but a black long gown that showed his boundless nobility.

Next to him was an unfinished chess game.

After listening to Bai Ziqing's words.

There was no change in his gaze.

"The Eastern Cult, the demon race...stole the Dragon Map."

"Liu Ji is trying to cover up his crime of negligence."

Bai Ziqing looked serious.

"Ah."

Emperor Jianhong's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Bai Ziqing looked at Emperor Jianhong quietly.

At this time, he did not dare to interrupt Emperor Jianhong's thoughts.

He waited for a long time.

I didn't dare show any impatience.

Just stood there quietly waiting for Emperor Jianhong.

at last.

Emperor Jianhong slowly raised his head.

An extremely fierce face was revealed.

But he didn't say much.

He just looked at Bai Ziqing calmly and asked:
"Did you solve this case?"

Six simple words.

Bai Ziqing hesitated for a moment.

He raised his head calmly and bowed to Emperor Jianhong:
"Your Majesty, I know my own limitations, so when I went to Liangjiang County, I asked Zeng Anmin to assist me."

"Zeng Anmin."

There was an inexplicable light flashing in Emperor Jianhong's eyes.

He was not the least bit surprised.

A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"This boy is quite interesting."

Bai Ziqing did not answer, but just waited quietly.

"Go down."

Emperor Jianhong waved his hand slowly, with a nonchalant expression:

"You have made great contributions in solving the case. I will discuss with the cabinet and then reward you accordingly."

Bai Ziqing grinned.

He saluted to Emperor Jianhong and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will take my leave."

……

After Bai Ziqing left.

Emperor Jianhong's expression could no longer hold back and turned gloomy.

He squinted his eyes and glanced in a certain direction inconspicuously.

Then he said coldly to the eunuchs waiting below;

"Call Li Zhen, Zeng Shilin, and Duke Weiguo to see me."

"Yes."

…………

"father?"

Zeng Anmin pulled the reins and looked blankly at his father's back as he got off the carriage in front of him.

He quickly dismounted and trotted to his father's back.

"Why are you here?"

He asked doubtfully.

Zeng Shilin heard the familiar voice, then turned around, and when he saw Zeng Anmin, his eyes sparkled with a gleam of light:
"You're back from Liangjiang County?"

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin looked up curiously, then blinked at his father and asked:

"Why are you heading to the palace at this hour?"

Dad didn't answer the question.

He first looked around and after not seeing any outsiders, he pulled Zeng Anmin to a secluded place.

The voice was very solemn and asked:

"The case is solved?"

"Yes." Zeng Anmin saw his father's serious expression and narrated to him at a very fast speed:
"This case is a joint effort between the Eastern Cult and the demon race..."

He quickly told the whole story of the case and its outcome.

After listening to this, Dad's eyes flickered with confusion:

"Eastern Religion... No wonder Huang Yuangao died."

There was a hint of realization in his voice.

"what?"

Zeng Anmin was at a loss for a moment.

"fine."

Dad came back to his senses and looked at Zeng Anmin in surprise:
"Why are you in the palace instead of staying at home?"

Zeng Anmin scratched his head embarrassedly and said:
"I came to find the eldest princess and thank her."

"What to say to her..."

Dad was a little impatient at first, but then he seemed to think of something, and he shut up and said with relief:
"Well, thank her on my behalf."

"I came to the palace this time because His Majesty summoned me. It should be related to Huang Yuangao's case."

Dad turned around, carried Zeng Anmin on his back, and walked slowly forward.

Zeng Shilin then paused, and his voice slowly drifted into Zeng Anmin's ears:

"Behave yourself for now, I think the war will start soon."

Go to war?
Zeng Anmin blinked.

Before he could ask anything, he heard his father's impatient voice again:

"I'll tell you when I get home tonight. Now I'm leaving."

After saying this, his back slowly disappeared.

Zeng Anmin looked at his father's back, his eyes flickering with a thoughtful look.

…………

"I've met the eldest princess."

Zeng Anmin bowed all the way, his attitude remaining neither humble nor arrogant.

In front of him, there was a woman sitting upright.

The eldest princess wore a red dress today.

Loose areas are still loose.

But in some places, even if the clothes are loose, it can't hide her extraordinary talents.

Still held tightly.

Then there was an extremely smooth curve that wrapped around her waist and hips.

Zeng Anmin just took a glance and then looked away.

Can't watch anymore.

He took a deep breath.

Suppress the restlessness in your heart.

"Since crossing over, it has been one case after another."

"Solving cases all day long... and there's no end to it."

"When can I lose my virginity so that my hard work will be worthwhile."

This body is now in the period of youth and restlessness.

It is easy to be swayed by some superficial things.

The eldest princess did not show any strange expression. She looked at Zeng Anmin calmly:
"Did you come to me this time to find out about the Xihuangtu?"

Zeng Anmin's old face turned red and he coughed dryly:
"I haven't been in Beijing for a while. I went to Jiangnan."

The implication is also obvious.

I haven't started looking yet.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

The eldest princess glanced aside, stretched out her white fingers, twisted the incense stick on the table, and slowly inserted it into the small stove on the table.

Zeng Anmin bowed with both hands:
"I came here specially to thank the Princess."

"Thanks?"

The princess raised her eyebrows slightly, then turned her head and looked at Zeng Anmin with a half-smile:
"What can I thank you for?"

Zeng Anmin did not dare to neglect it. He coughed and said:

"If it weren't for the Grand Tutor's words in the palace that day, my father would have been sent to Jiangnan."

The meaning is obvious.

If my father were sent to Jiangnan to handle the case, the situation in the court that had just been stabilized would probably become unfavorable to him.

That’s all I have to say.

Just be clear and don't make things too clear.

If he doesn’t tell her, then the princess won’t know?

"hehe."

The eldest princess nodded without comment.

She didn't need to say it.

Party line.

No matter how officials get along with each other, there is no need to talk about it openly.

The only way to live in this world is to get along with each other in a friendly manner and help each other.

Where did the idea of ​​forming a clique come from?
"How is Huang Yuangao's case going?"

The eldest princess glanced up casually, revealing a variety of charm.

Zeng Anmin's throat rolled over when he saw this.

He lowered his head quickly and said seriously:

"The main culprit in Mr. Huang's case was a spy from the Eastern Religion in collaboration with the demon tribe."

"After the two thieves assassinated Mr. Huang, they also stole the Dragon Map."

"Investigating the Dragon Map?" The princess frowned slightly, and murmured in her very smooth voice:

"The martial arts map of Fengqi Road..."

After a long time.

Her eyes looked towards Zeng Anmin.

Just happened to meet Zeng Anmin's eyes.

"What is the purpose of the demon clan and the Eastern Cult in planning a martial arts map with so much effort?"

Her voice sounded inquiring.

But Zeng Anmin knew that she was asking the question knowing the truth.

Zeng Anmin coughed slowly, his eyes turned serious and he said:

"Our Great Saint Dynasty has been on good terms with the Jiang Kingdom for a long time. The demon race certainly doesn't want this relationship to continue for long."

"Now that the Jiang Kingdom's empress is in power, people's hearts are not yet at peace, and the Jiang Kingdom's royal family must have long been dissatisfied with her."

"Those Jiang Kingdom royal family members may not say it openly, but they must be secretly planning to resist."

"But since the empress took office, she has been adopting a strategy of showing goodwill to our Great Saint Dynasty."

"So the demon tribe can only collude with the Jiang Kingdom's evil-minded royal family to plot against my Great Saint Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to throw dirty water on the empress. It would be best if a rift occurred between our two countries, thus breaking up the alliance."

"Only in this way can the demon race have a chance to survive."

Zeng Anmin said this while looking at the eldest princess's expression.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows at first.

Then he looked at Zeng Anmin in surprise.

Then he nodded frequently.

Zeng Anmin continued:

"And this is exactly what happened to Huang Yuangao's death."

"They may be spies from the Eastern Religion or demons."

"They are certain that the death of a second-rank frontier official in our Great Saint Dynasty will not remain indifferent."

"Even if the Empress did not send someone to commit this crime, in order to appease the anger of officials and the people, our Great Saint Dynasty must ask the Empress to give us an explanation."

"Although this case will not temporarily destroy the alliance between our two countries, Shengjiang, a gap that cannot be seen by the naked eye has inevitably been planted."

After Zeng Anmin finished speaking, he sighed deeply:

"Alas, if this happens, I wonder how many innocent people will be implicated."

After saying that, he let out another long sigh.

The image of being concerned about the country and the people is thus established.

The eldest princess' eyes gradually became serious.

What she thought of, Zeng Anmin thought of.

Zeng Anmin could also think of things that she didn't think of.

Never thought about it.

Zeng Anmin is so politically sensitive about the relationship between the two countries.

"So what do you think of the rebels in Jiang State?"

The eldest princess looked at Zeng Anmin with an expressionless face.

Zeng Anmin sneered:
"A bunch of maggots who only want the world to be in chaos."

"While investigating a case, Bai Ziqing and I encountered a sneak attack by people from the Eastern Religion in a deserted forest."

"Whether you believe it or not, Your Highness, after being hit by the Eastern Religion's "dream-entering" method, what I dreamed of was actually your majestic figure."

Zeng Anmin remained calm and glanced at the eldest princess's towering figure.

Then he bowed to the Princess:
"Your Highness spoke harshly in my dream and woke me up."

“That’s how I avoided being tricked by the Eastern Sect’s spies. I quickly woke up and used my righteous energy to help Bai Ziqing get rid of the black energy in his temples. That’s how I managed to get through this disaster without any danger.”

Zeng Anmin's face was extremely serious:
"Your Highness, please accept my greeting for saving my life!"

The eldest princess did not believe Zeng Anmin's sweet words.

But I don’t want to expose it.

She smiled and said, "What did I say in your dream? What woke you up?"

Zeng Anmin said solemnly, "Your Highness read a poem."

The princess blinked and raised the corner of her mouth slightly:
"tell me the story."

After saying that, the eldest princess slowly leaned back on the back of the bench, stretched out her fingers lazily, pinched a grape, and put it into Yinghong's mouth.

Zeng Anmin coughed lightly, then took a step and walked slowly in the yard.

One step, two steps.

Zeng Anmin's voice slowly sounded:

"The tangled branches have not yet turned yellow, but they are now wild with the east wind."

As soon as the two lines of poetry came out, he secretly glanced at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was chewing grapes at this time.

There was already a hint of daze in his eyes.

Zeng Anmin took two steps forward slowly, his voice full of excitement:

"I know how to use flying flowers to cover the sun and moon, but I don't know that there is clear frost in the world!"

After reading it, he looked at the eldest princess with burning eyes:
“I’m ashamed to say that when I first heard this poem, I didn’t understand its meaning.”

"It was not until I solved the case that I realized that the Eastern Religion spy and the Yao Yao Clan were colluding to murder officials of our Great Saint Dynasty."

"And behind the Eastern Religion's spies, those Jiang Kingdom's traitors colluded with certain officials of our Great Saint Dynasty..."

Zeng Anmin sighed and said:
"It was only then that I realized that Your Highness's poem was a metaphor for a moral."

"It is a bitter satire and a stern rebuke of those who rely on power and wealth to get carried away in politics, pointing out that although they may be rampant for a while, they will eventually fail."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Anmin showed admiration:

"The whole poem is a metaphorical blend of description and philosophy. The satire is obvious but not shallow and direct. The implication is profound and thought-provoking."

Just now.

The eldest princess' beautiful face had become somewhat dull.
