Chapter 101: If you don't even have this bit of insight, I can't help you!

Li Chen, walking out of the government office, thought there was still some time before the Prince of Jing'an's birthday banquet, so he went for his daily flirting session.

It was still the familiar No. 7 Changqing Street; when he arrived, Wu Qi happened to be out, and he missed another opportunity to kneel and lick Li Chen.

I don't know if he was unlucky; he left early and returned late just to inquire about Li Chen's news, looking for a way to make contact, but Li Chen was right at his door.

In the end, Wu Qi still brought some gifts to the Liu mansion and paid a visit to Liu Hao; after all, Liu Hao was a noble kid and still had many opportunities to contact Li Chen.

"Kid, aren't you busy with your family business? How do you have time to come to me?"

Liu Hao was now in full military attire, with a bow and arrow on his back; it was clear he was preparing for the Spring Hunt.

No matter how much of a "licker" he was, he was at least at the peak of the Void Realm, a heaven-favored son on the Imperial Capital's ranking.

The Liu family was counting on him to perform well in the Spring Hunt and gain an opportunity to crusade against the Wang Ting.

By the way, the Khan of the Snow Eagle Wang Ting had already received Li Chen's declaration of war but hadn't responded, as if he had dropped offline.

No one knew what he was thinking; many even judged whether something had gone wrong in the Northern Wang Ting.

But one thing was certain: Li Chen was determined to hit him.

Wu Qi was very polite this time, saying: "Brother Liu, the situation at my home is also very dire; those Wu family disciples all want to replace me. If I still can't contact the Emperor and have no substantial progress, I'm afraid I'll be recalled to Huju City by the family and will never be able to come to the Imperial Capital again."

To put it plainly, for the sake of their long-standing friendship, he just wanted to find Liu Hao for guidance.

Liu Hao looked at him with disdain: You kid have been competing with me for the goddess since before, and you were frantically imitating me a while ago; now you know there's still a gap between us, right?

Actually, Liu Hao didn't intend to help Wu Qi, but he had his own calculations here.

Liu Hao was a shrewd person; after leaving Chu Ruoyan, he had recovered his former brain.

In his view, although Wu Qi was of no help to him, don't forget his grandfather was a strong expert about to step into the Sage Realm.

If he really stepped in, the Wu family's status would rise sharply.

You have to know, there was still a huge gap between the Sage Realm and the Heavenly Abyss Realm; stepping across that step was crossing a natural chasm.

In other words, if the current Emperor wasn't in the Sage Realm but in the Heavenly Abyss Realm, the other Imperial Princes would have rebelled long ago.

Without absolute certainty, who would dare face the wrath of the Sage Realm?

Liu Hao was also someone who would inherit the Liu family, so he couldn't act on impulse at this time and had to consider Wu Qi's value.

He could invest in Wu Qi at this time, letting Wu Qi sit firmly in the position of the Wu family's young master—that is, selling a big favor.

Then in the future, when Wu Qi's grandfather broke through to the Sage Realm, he could count as having this relationship, making it easier to ask for help if needed.

So Liu Hao said: "For the sake of being buddies for many years, I can help you once."

Wu Qi said with surprise: "Are you going to take me to the Spring Hunt?"

Liu Hao: ". Screw you, I'm barely able to get in myself; there are an unprecedented number of people signing up for this Spring Hunt, and the screening is too strict. I do have another way..."

According to Liu Hao, his family had connections in the Ministry of War in the Imperial Capital, so he would let Wu Qi mix in as an outsider first, and he would pull strings to get Wu Qi regularized.

Of course, this definitely required some social etiquette; Wu Qi indicated he understood—his family had nothing else, but money and treasures were quite plentiful.

As long as he could be regularized, the Wu family wouldn't easily recall him.

Then it would depend on Wu Qi's own fortune; according to Liu Hao's analysis, once the May Tian Ce Dynasty and the Snow Eagle Wang Ting went to war, the Ministry of War would become the most strained department in the Imperial Capital, meaning it would be most in need of talent.

By then, Wu Qi could exert his abilities, whether applying to enter the front lines to fight or mobilizing military supplies in the rear—these were all means to gain merit.

Once the war ended, it would naturally be a matter of rewarding merit; as long as Wu Qi gained a certain official position, who in the Wu family would dare recall him then?

The Wu family might even strongly support him in continuing his efforts and expanding his career in the Imperial Capital.

Liu Hao concluded: "It's not that I won't take you to the front lines; the merit of the people I take counts for me. If you want merit, you have to go yourself."

Wu Qi immediately indicated: "Understood, thank you Brother Liu for the guidance; if Brother Liu has any use for me in the future, just give the order!"

Liu Hao nodded with satisfaction: You kid are finally talking sense, not wasting my breath. If you don't even have this bit of insight, I can't help you.

Without delay, Wu Qi took Liu Hao's recommendation letter to report to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War was currently in an awkward position because war was almost upon them, but the Minister of War was still "wandering" outside.

The Vice Minister of War was now acting as Minister and was busy to death.

He was shouldering two jobs alone while only taking one salary, which was indeed very uncomfortable.

Liu Hao probably didn't expect that his casual recommendation would lead to someone in the Ministry of War rising in rank incredibly fast.

Wu Qi's own abilities and opportunities were secondary; the most important thing was his aunt, Wu Nanzhi.

At this moment, Wu Nanzhi was on a date with Li Chen.

"Who was that woman yesterday? Don't tell me it was your sister." After Wu Nanzhi was asked out by Li Chen, she started asking with a mischievous smile.

Because they had already passed the unfamiliar stage, their speech started to become casual.

It was still that exotic restaurant, and the two were eating lunch.

!

"I do have a sister, but that was my wife yesterday." Li Chen's style was sincerity; he told the truth.

"Good for you! You have a wife and still come to date me! You really are a fickle guy!" Wu Nanzhi said with disdain.

"So what if I have a wife? Aren't you my sister?" Li Chen said while eating.

"You... I really don't know how to respond to your words." Wu Nanzhi almost choked.

Yesterday, this auntie let you off, which is why I said you were my brother, not letting you have a conflict with your wife; you kid are climbing up the pole today, aren't you?

And your wife is so beautiful, how can you have the face to go out and flirt?

Wu Nanzhi actually wasn't surprised at all that the beautiful woman was Li Chen's wife; Li Chen was handsome and strong and should have a certain position in the May Tian Ce Dynasty—which woman wouldn't like him?

Li Chen wasn't indifferent; you wouldn't have any trouble anyway, and my wife even introduces wives to me.

In Li Chen's view, teasing Wu Nanzhi was quite fun.

He just liked seeing this mature woman slowly turn into the shape he liked.

Wu Nanzhi directly changed the subject and commented on the food here.

Just as they were commenting on today's ingredients, a woman walked in.

With her entry, she instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

This woman had willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a jade nose and peach cheeks, full lips, and was indescribably beautiful, with a noble temperament that couldn't be profaned.

She wore a cyan silk gauze tight-fitting dress, outlining her full and proud figure to the fullest.

To put it this way, Li Chen could see the roundness of her chest from the back.

With this figure, the last time Li Chen saw it was on the Empress Dowager; he really had to have them compare side-by-side when he had the chance.

Her appearance was undoubtedly a dimensional strike, making all the women among the couples present feel inferior.

It also instantly raised the hormones of all the men present.

Li Chen turned his head and saw Wu Nanzhi staring at him angrily.

At this time, any sensible man knew it was time to coax his partner.

Thus, Li Chen said: "Will you have this scale in the future?"

Wu Nanzhi: "."

Can't you see I'm angry?

Dating me, you stare at someone else, and you even ask me if I'll have this scale in the future!
