Chapter 265: Talented Scholar and Beautiful Lady

After Black-Print Old Monster died, Yun Shan welcomed everyone back into the mansion, and even Tang Ziwei, who was dressed as a servant, was respectfully invited in.

During this time, Chu Danqing learned some information about this Tang Ziwei from Yang Qianyuan.

It was just that because Yang Qianyuan had only heard of the other party's great name and hadn't seen the person in real life, the information he knew was more of a rumor.

Tang Ziwei was a famous talented scholar; he was first in the child examination at sixteen and first in the provincial examination at twenty-eight.

Later, due to the imperial examination case, he abandoned his official post.

However, it was precisely because of this that his talent was stimulated, and he became a talented scholar famous throughout the world.

Otherwise, if he had really been an official in the imperial court, he might not have had this reputation.

After sitting down again, Chu Danqing asked: "Mr. Yun, what is the situation with the 'Qunfang Pu'?"

Chu Danqing suspected that his trial was related to Prince Ning, even if it wasn't direct, it was indirect.

Otherwise, how could the side missions that appeared all be stirred up with Prince Ning's forces?

"I know this Qunfang Pu; it is the path for Prince Ning's Purple Mansion spirit beast to evolve."

"It is rumored to be a soul-type spirit beast, initially a 'Lady Painting,' then a 'Beauty Record,' and then a 'Qunfang Pu'."

"Its ability is to release the souls of beautiful women to fight for it; it is said that there are at least three thousand souls in the 'Beauty Record' now."

"And every soul is powerful; it can be said to be an army in one person." Tang Ziwei took a sip of wine and said.

Since he wanted to avoid Prince Ning's summons, he naturally had to understand Prince Ning.

"Then how does he still have the reputation of a virtuous king in this situation?" Chu Danqing asked speechlessly.

Chu Danqing didn't need to think to know how those three thousand souls came about; it was definitely filled with human lives.

And this 'Beauty Record' needed to evolve into 'Qunfang Pu,' and it had to use women born in the Yin hour.

"Easy to handle, just have power and influence." Tang Ziwei replied.

"Sigh, poor daughter... how innocent." Yun Shan sighed and echoed with a sad face.

People have power and influence; this time it was really hard to escape a disaster.

Either hand over his daughter to preserve the lives of the Yun family, or wait for the family to be broken and people to die.

At this time, even Tang Ziwei didn't dare to respond.

Because he couldn't do anything about Prince Ning; if he had a way, he wouldn't have pretended to be crazy and stupid and then hidden his name to work as a servant in the Yun Mansion.

"I'll handle it; I don't believe it, can this really turn the sky upside down?" Chu Danqing said coldly.

Did he really think Guo Ming's sword was not sharp?

Yun Shan and Tang Ziwei looked at Chu Danqing with shock in their eyes; they couldn't imagine what method Chu Danqing could have to solve Prince Ning, this vassal king who was of high rank and heavy authority and had overwhelming power.

Yang Qianyuan, although the King of Jiaoying, had no power to open a mansion and was like a mascot.

Prince Ning, who held the power to open a mansion, had overwhelming power.

Between vassal kings, there were naturally gaps.

This thing was like imperial family members; some could be governors, and some were making straw sandals.

Yang Qianyuan's kind was already considered not bad; if you really want to compare the bad, there were those who became commoners because the bloodline branch was far away.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chu." Yun Shan didn't know Chu Danqing's background, but being able to be the big brother of the King of Jiaoying, he must have real ability.

But he didn't know that Chu Danqing's ability, which only summoned allies, was all in his allies and summoned objects.

Chu Danqing could only respond: "No trouble, no trouble."

He originally wanted to solve it, but not by using Yang Qianyuan's identity, but by using military force.

If this continues, he was afraid that the trial mission would be to kill Prince Ning, even if it wasn't direct, it was indirect.

On the contrary, Tang Ziwei was drinking silently on the side.

The sorrow on Yun Shan's face still remained, but it faded quite a bit.

Although the King of Jiaoying was not as good as Prince Ning, he was at least a vassal king, so his words should carry weight.

"My big brother's visit this time is actually to ask the Yun Mansion for something." Yang Qianyuan took the opportunity to continue.

Chu Danqing shouldn't have said this; it was just right for him to say it.

Yun Shan was prepared for this.

If there is nothing to do, one doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall; Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan visiting for no reason must have a request.

"What request; if I can help the King of Jiaoying and Mr. Chu, my Yun Mansion will definitely do its best." Yun Shan said immediately.

These two definitely couldn't look down on his family property; he didn't know what they wanted.

"I heard that your mansion has a Concentric Lotus Seed; my big brother happens to need it, Mr. Yun, name a price." Yang Qianyuan said lightly.

Yun Shan was stunned when he heard this.

He had a vague impression, but not much.

After all, the spirit beast Concentric Lotus Seed wasn't mainstream.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness, I will go get it." It didn't matter if Yun Shan had no impression; he could just check.

Even if it was given away or sold, there would be outgoing records.

This was related to his own life and death, so it naturally couldn't be ignored.

After the person left, the banquet fell silent again.

Tang Ziwei, because of Prince Ning, naturally didn't have a good impression of the imperial family.

Facing Yang Qianyuan, he was definitely embarrassed.

Yang Qianyuan wasn't as powerful as Prince Ning, and he was more focused on himself, so he didn't have the idea of recruiting Tang Ziwei.

In his view, the two met by chance, and after today, they would go their separate ways; why bother to chat?

Chu Danqing was caught in the middle and felt a bit uncomfortable, so he... started feeding Da Bao.

Otherwise, what else could he do? It was better than doing nothing.

In the end, Tang Ziwei spoke first: "Your Highness, King of Jiaoying, what is the reason for Prince Ning's move?"

"I don't know, I don't have a deep friendship with Prince Ning." Yang Qianyuan would definitely not say what was going on.

Tang Ziwei also saw Yang Qianyuan's perfunctory attitude, so he didn't continue to ask.

The atmosphere was about to fall into silence again, so Chu Danqing spoke to ease it: "Scholar Tang, what are your plans next?"

"Although Black-Print Old Monster is dead, I'm afraid this matter won't be hidden for long."

"I think Prince Ning will definitely hate you even more."

Hearing Chu Danqing say this, Tang Ziwei said with quite a bit of frustration: "I can only go far away to another hometown; there is no other way."

If he really wanted to rely on someone to protect himself, if he had this thought, he wouldn't have hidden his name.

If he couldn't afford to provoke him, he could still hide.

As for the Tang family, there was no need to worry; the family he came from was also a famous clan in the local area.

And the relationships were intertwined; if he really moved, it would be pulling one hair and moving the whole body, which would be more than the loss.

Prince Ning wouldn't be so unwise.

However, he couldn't move the Tang family, but he couldn't move you, Tang Ziwei?

Tang Ziwei alone couldn't represent the Tang family clan.

And the Yun Mansion, not a clan, could only be considered a small landlord; the connections weren't that deep, which was why they were targeted.

"That's really troublesome." Chu Danqing naturally didn't think about rushing to help.

Tang Ziwei had a 90% chance of hiding his strength, and he had no life-threatening danger, and he had the ability to solve it.

Chu Danqing's help seemed a bit redundant.

"Yes, who would have thought that I had hidden in a poor place, but still was found." Tang Ziwei was also depressed.

Actually, he didn't have to take action and could just watch Black-Print Old Monster take action.

But the Yun Mansion had provided him with cover for a period of time, and the Yun Mansion treated servants very well and didn't mistreat them.

So during the time he was hiding, Tang Ziwei lived quite well.

He wasn't a wolf-hearted person, and in the end, he chose to stand up, even if it exposed his identity.

"It can only be said that this Prince Ning's fangs and eagles are indeed widespread." Chu Danqing followed.

"Who says not? I think this Prince Ning is afraid of plotting something wrong." When Tang Ziwei said this, his eyes observed Yang Qianyuan's expression implicitly.

Many times, he didn't believe that Prince Ning had no ambition, so he observed the expression of Yang Qianyuan, this King of Jiaoying, to see if he knew anything.

However, Yang Qianyuan, although young, didn't show any flaws.

On the contrary, Chu Danqing took over the conversation: "Don't talk nonsense about this; Prince Ning is a virtuous king, how could he plot something wrong? At most, he has a lack of private virtue."

He wasn't trying to excuse Prince Ning, but to protect the Yun Mansion.

Otherwise, if this word really spread and was known by Prince Ning or his subordinate forces, the Yun Mansion would be in trouble.

Tang Ziwei also reacted in an instant and hurriedly made up for it: "It was my drunken talk; Prince Ning, such a virtuous king, must have been deceived."

He would leave when the time came, but the Yun Mansion couldn't grow legs and run away.

Before long, Yun Shan returned, followed by a girl in her prime, holding a brocade box in her hand.

The girl's eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Tang Ziwei; she was clearly a little fan of this great scholar, Tang Ziwei.

"This is my daughter, Yun Jun; why don't you meet the King of Jiaoying." Yun Shan also noticed his daughter's situation and scolded her immediately.

Yun Jun then reluctantly saluted.

Yang Qianyuan accepted it generously and then asked: "Is there a Concentric Lotus Seed?"

He wasn't that interested in women, but more concerned about the Concentric Lotus Seed.

The other party was indeed holding a brocade box, but he wasn't sure what was inside, so he just asked directly.

Tang Ziwei also reacted in an instant and immediately made up for it: "It was just my drunken rambling. A virtuous king like Prince Ning must have been deceived."

He could just walk away when the time came, but the Yun Mansion couldn't grow legs and run.

Before long, Yun Shan returned, followed by a sixteen-year-old girl holding a brocade box in her hands.

The girl looked at Tang Ziwei with eyes full of admiration; she was clearly a little fan of this great talent, Tang Ziwei.

"This is my daughter, Yun Jun. Why don't you pay your respects to His Highness, the Prince of Jiaoying?" Yun Shan also noticed his daughter's state and immediately scolded her.

Only then did Yun Jun reluctantly perform a salute.

Yang Qianyuan accepted it generously and then asked, "You do have the Heart-Linked Lotus seeds, right?"

He was not that interested in female beauty; he was more concerned about the Heart-Linked Lotus seeds.

The other party had indeed come holding a brocade box, but he wasn't sure what was inside; wouldn't it be easier to just ask?

"Yes, we do, and the quality is complete and well-preserved." Yun Shan also saw through Yang Qianyuan's thoughts, immediately took the brocade box from Yun Jun's hands, and placed it personally in front of Chu Danqing's table.

"This seed is spiritually refined and naturally possesses one more layer of defensive capability than other lotus seeds."

"It is a pity that it lacks spiritual intelligence; it is truly a regret." Yun Shan briefly stated the pros and cons.
