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

Chapter 187 Return to Beijing! People line the streets to welcome you!
"Da da da."

With the end of the war.

Zeng Anmin and the eldest princess embarked on their journey back to Beijing.

Duke Tian Ji of Wei cannot come back yet.

During the period when Your Majesty did not send officials to take over Guangnan County and Bifeng Valley.

He can only be in charge personally.

However, Zeng Anmin and the eldest princess do not have this restriction.

Of the three thousand Yuanyang soldiers, two thousand were left there.

A thousand Mandarin Duck Army soldiers followed Zeng Anmin and the eldest princess back to the capital.

These one thousand Mandarin Duck Army soldiers are the remaining spark.

After returning, you can still train in the same way.

And these 1,000 Yuanyang soldiers...

They will also be the eldest princess's team.

From then on, the eldest princess had military power in the capital.

However, this military power must be handed over.

So, after returning to Beijing.

The commander of these 1,000-mandarin duck troops was Wu Qianfeng.

Wu Qianfeng also participated in the battle this time.

His merits were enough to earn him a promotion.

Therefore, it is highly likely that he will continue to control the Yuanyang Army.

After returning to Beijing, he recruited more soldiers to replenish the Yuanyang Army and continued to train the troops.

It is equivalent to.

From then on, the Yuanyang Army was the eldest princess's direct line in the capital.

However, this direct lineage cannot be known to outsiders.

Moreover, after returning to Beijing, the eldest princess must take the initiative to request to hand over the military power of the Yuanyang Army.

All of this happened without the presence of Zeng Anmin.

Now there is Zeng Anmin.

That means.

In fact, the person who controls the Yuanyang Army is... Zeng Anmin.

First, he is the master of the Huizhi Yuanyang Formation.

Second, he also led the team in the battle of Bifeng Valley.

Third, Wu Qianfeng, the founding disciple.

In this world, is there any disciple who doesn't listen to his master?
After a month of trekking.

At this time, Zeng Anmin and the eldest princess had already reached a county town less than 500 miles away from Beijing.

At the same time, Zeng Anmin also discovered a pattern.

The closer you get to the capital.

The more popular your team is.

Especially in this city very close to Beijing.

Almost all the people on the street lined the streets to welcome them.

He could even vaguely hear some discussions among the crowd.

"Zeng Sance truly deserves the name!"

“I didn’t expect Zeng Sance to be so young!”

"Yeah, it looks about the same size as my girl."

"Why, do you have any bad intentions?"

"Haha, my daughter is both beautiful and talented, and is a perfect match for Zeng Sance."

"Shameless! Ugh!"

"Yes, so shameless!"

"That girl of yours isn't even fit to carry General Zeng's shoes!"

"........."

Regarding these discussions.

Zeng Anmin, who was at the fifth level of Breath-Concentrating Realm, naturally heard it very clearly.

He can hear it clearly.

Not to mention the eldest princess.

The eldest princess sat on the horse, and from time to time she cast a half-smile at Zeng Anmin.

See the eldest princess's expression.

Zeng Anmin didn't know why, but he always felt guilty.

"No, what should I feel guilty about?"

"I have nothing wrong with everyone..."

Every time this happened, Zeng Anmin felt like he was being secretly puaed by the princess...

"Brother Quan Fu!!!"

A very familiar voice was heard.

Zeng Anmin raised his head in astonishment and looked forward.

I saw a pure white figure standing on the roof in front of me.

"Brother Bai?"

Seeing this familiar figure, Zeng Anmin blinked!
"It's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!"

After seeing Zeng Anmin, Bai Ziqing's eyes became visibly excited.

He tapped his toes lightly.

Then he jumped down from the roof.

Go straight to Zeng Anmin.

When he got closer, he saw the eldest princess's calm eyes.

"Uh, I am Bai Ziqing, the Northern Director of the Imperial City Division, and I am honored to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Bai Ziqing came closer and bowed gently to the eldest princess.

"No need to be polite. It's still 500 miles from the capital. Bai Tidu is..."

The eldest princess rode on the horse, gently pulling the reins, looking at Bai Ziqing with indifferent eyes.

"Oh, Princess, you don't know that Quan Fu and I have a deep love for each other. I feel depressed when I don't see him for a day, so I left the capital early to meet him."

Bai Ziqing raised his head and answered with the same calm expression.

The Imperial City Department is only loyal to Your Majesty.

It has always been the emperor who gave the orders.

Other clan members are not very important in their eyes.

But we must still maintain the proper respect.

……

Hearing his words, the eldest princess fell silent.

Five hundred miles from Beijing to welcome you...

This……

The nobles in the capital of the Great Sage Dynasty have always had a Longyang style...

Don't know why.

This thought flashed through my mind.

The eldest princess' heart clicked.

There was a flash of worry in his eyes, and he looked towards Zeng Anmin subconsciously.

……

How could Zeng Anmin not sense the meaning of this look?

His face suddenly turned red.

He said to the eldest princess:

"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. Brother Bai and I are just normal friends!"

"There is absolutely no such dirty thing!!"

There was a look of confidence on his face!

"Pfft~"

For some reason, the eldest princess felt relieved after hearing his explanation and couldn't help but smile.

"I haven't said anything, why is Quan Fu so sensitive?"

"No, it's just that my subordinates' innocence must be protected."

Zeng Anmin scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Then I won't disturb your reunion with your two brothers."

The princess smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to hold the reins and said softly:
"drive!"

"Da da da."

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and the eldest princess walked slowly forward.

……

"Hey, Quan Fu."

There was no sign of Bai Ziqing speeding up, but his speed was just as fast as the horse ridden by Zeng Anmin.

You can catch up even if you take a leisurely stroll in the garden.

"Now, if I remember correctly, today is your seventeenth birthday."

Bai Ziqing raised his head and looked at Zeng Anmin with a smile on his face:

"I have specially prepared a gift for you!"

Uh.

As soon as these words came out.

Zeng Anmin's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, he raised his head and looked towards the eldest princess.

The eldest princess' back was trembling slightly.

It's obvious that he's laughing!!
No, bro!

We are good brothers!

Could you please not do something that would cause such misunderstanding?
I clearly didn't tell you when my birthday is!
"hehe."

Zeng Anmin forced a smile and showed surprise on his face:

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Bai!"

"Haha, it's okay!"

Bai Ziqing followed Zeng Anmin leisurely, a smile slowly rose on the corner of his mouth and continued:

"Brother Quan Fu has become famous in the capital in recent days!"

"His Majesty personally calls you Zeng Sance."

"It is said that three strategies can pacify the world."

"Ha ha!"

"I had already anticipated this when I first met Brother Quan Fu in Liangjiang County!"

"One day, Brother Quan Fu will be famous all over the world." "I just didn't expect that day would come so soon!"

"In less than a year, you have accomplished this unprecedented feat!"

“It’s really enviable!”

When Bai Ziqing said this, there was not a trace of envy or jealousy in his tone.

Some are just the most sincere congratulations.

"Brother Bai, when others say this I take it as a compliment, but when you say this, aren't you slapping me in the face?"

Zeng Anmin pretended to be unhappy and said:

"I, Zeng Quanfu, still have self-awareness. No matter how well I do in everything, I am nothing more than a firefly in front of Big Brother. How can I compete with the bright moon?!"

"Others may not know, but how can I not know the strength of Brother Bai, the number one swordsman in the capital?"

"Oh oh oh!!"

After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Bai Ziqing could no longer suppress the smile.

He nodded quickly, pretending to understand, and then waved his hand and said:

"My dear brother, please do not underestimate yourself!"

"Although you are only slightly inferior to me, I still admire you very much in other aspects."

……

The eldest princess' shoulders in front were shaking even more violently.

Zeng Anmin also pursed his lips, trying hard to control himself from laughing out loud.

He nodded seriously and gave Bai Ziqing a thumbs up:

"Yes, and Brother Bai has saved Anmin from danger many times. This kind of kindness is hard to repay in this lifetime!"

"So, Brother Bai, please don't mention the word admiration again!"

"An Min is unworthy of this!"

"How shameful!"

Bai Ziqing scratched his head embarrassedly: "Okay, okay, I won't mention it again in the future!"

After saying this, Bai Ziqing's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"You may not know, my dear brother, that day in the court, Liu Chenggan slandered Minister Zeng."

"In the end, Minister Zeng spat on his face and said: Such a villain is only fit to be my spittoon."

"Now Liu Chengqian's name, Liu Tanmu, has already spread throughout the official circles in Beijing."

"It's even getting worse among the people! It's really hilarious!!"

Hear his words.

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Chengqian.

Even if others don't know, how could he not know?

On the surface, he was a minister of Li Zhen's Li Party.

In fact, he is secretly the running dog of Duke Ningguo.

This person is the one that Duke Ningguo has now stepped up to oppose him and his son.

"Slandering my father?"

Zeng Anmin chuckled: "Although I don't know the specific details, but with my father's wisdom, he is just bringing shame upon himself."

Having said that, he looked at Bai Ziqing with pretended curiosity and asked:

"I wonder how Liu Chengqian slandered my father in the court that day?"

When he mentioned this, Bai Ziqing's face became very excited and he began to talk:

"The story begins with the leak of military intelligence that the grain route of Duke Tian Ji's army was attacked..."

As he spoke, he described to Zeng Anmin word for word the slanderous words that Liu Chenggan had spoken in the court.

In fact, Zeng Anmin was able to find out this scene not long after returning to Beijing.

But Bai Ziqing couldn't resist missing him so much.

Came here early.

"In the end, His Majesty even said that both you and Dean Qin were the first to achieve great success, and he would personally go thirty miles outside the capital to welcome you back to the court!"

When Bai Ziqing said this, his face was full of pride for Zeng Anmin.

"Oh."

After listening to this, a sharp look slowly began to brew in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

Liu Chengqian's slanderous words...

It may sound unintentional, but it may sound intentional when heard!
He was openly slandering his father.

In fact, he was testing the position of his father in His Majesty's heart.

Based on this military intelligence, let’s see if His Majesty will suspect my father.

However, His Majesty did not respond.

This is the biggest problem.

No reaction is the biggest reaction.

"Nine out of ten, His Majesty is a little wary of my father's position as the Minister of War and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace..."

"After all, ever since entering Beijing, Dad has been stirring up trouble in the officialdom."

"Now my father's Jiangnan Party has begun to take shape in the court."

Zeng Anmin's face became solemn.

He was calculating silently in his mind.

"But later on, news of my victory spread in the court."

"Emperor Jianhong's performance has reversed."

"He even went out of the city in person to welcome us back to the court."

"On the surface, he was able to perform like this because I came up with three strategies in a row and made great contributions."

"Actually, it's because..."

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his eyes, revealing a deep look.

"Dean Qin's death."

"If Dad is the leader of the Jiangnan Party, then Dean Qin is the button between ordinary officials and leaders in the Jiangnan Party."

"As the dean of the Water Governor's College, he can also be said to be my father's closest secretary."

"With the death of Dean Qin, it is no longer as easy for my father to attract Jiangnan students to join the Jiangnan Party to strengthen his own faction."

"Then Emperor Jianhong will temporarily let down his guard against my father."

"That's why they rewarded me so unscrupulously."

"What a great way to check and balance."

"This is the core of the court."

Zeng Anmin suppressed all the speculations in his mind.

He continued to smile and said:
"Brother Bai came here on the moon?"

"You didn't even ride a horse?"

Bai Ziqing said with a smile: "I rode it."

"Ah."

…………

That night.

To celebrate Zeng Anmin's birthday.

Bai Ziqing and Zeng Anmin were both drunk.

When they were in high spirits after drinking, Zeng Anmin even took Bai Ziqing to visit the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was forced to join in.

The eldest princess looked at the two people whose faces were flushed from drinking.

There was helplessness on their faces.

After reluctantly agreeing, the three of them continued drinking.

to the back.

Bai Ziqing even wanted to ask Zeng Anmin to become sworn brothers with the princess...

He was stopped by Zeng Anmin.

Brothers with different surnames?

That won't work!

Under Zeng Anmin's firm opposition.

Bai Ziqing then gave up.

Day two.

Bai Ziqing rode directly back to Beijing.

At this time, it was still four hundred miles away from Beijing.

He didn't dare delay too much.

After all, there are still a lot of affairs to deal with in the Imperial City Office.

"Bai Tidu, I have a deep personal relationship with you."

The eldest princess was riding on her horse, looking at Zeng Anmin with a smile on her face.

"Oh, he is just a crude warrior. Princess, please don't bother with him."

After saying that.

Zeng Anmin felt something was wrong.

"Uh, don't get me wrong, Princess. I was only talking about him."

He quickly explained.

The princess didn't care about it at all, she just smiled softly:
"Of course I know."

"Otherwise, wouldn't some people also be scolded?"

She looked at Zeng Anmin and blinked her eyes playfully.

……

See her wink.

Zeng Anmin couldn't help but purse his lips.

I didn't expect that the eldest princess also has such a younger daughter side.

in his impression.

The eldest princess has always been a mature, stable and charming career woman.

"really!"

Zeng Anmin nodded seriously.

There's nothing a drink can't solve.

If so, then go dance somewhere else!

If two rounds don’t work, just wash your feet for three rounds!

"Speaking of washing feet..."

Zeng Anmin touched his chin.

Looking in the direction of the capital, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"If I open a foot massage parlor, will it be profitable in the Great Saint Dynasty?"
