In the evening of the next day, Ling Ning rushed to Lizhou City.
Lizhou is located in the south of Yanzhou. The terrain is flat and the land is fertile, so it is rich in grain.
After defeating the imperial troops this time, Ling Ning will definitely not be trapped in Yanzhou, but will expand his territory. Lizhou is one of the first targets, and the food harvested this autumn must be used by him.
Lizhou City is as prosperous and lively as ever, and it seems that the upcoming war has nothing to do with them.
Ling Ning didn't stay and went directly to Shen's house.
Mr. Sun didn't just look for the Shen family to be used by Ling Ning. The head of the Shen family had been favored by Ling Ning's father. In addition, Ling Ning's grandmother was the god sister of the head of the Shen family.
After Ling Ning raised an army, the head of the Shen family sent a letter to Mr. Sun in Yanzhou City, offering to provide funds to help Ling Ning raise an army.
Arriving at Shen's house, Ling Ning ordered his guards to knock on the door and hand over a greeting card.
Shen Wanshuang, the head of the Shen family, got up quickly after receiving the invitation and hurried outside the house.
By chance, a gentle woman came up and asked, "Grandpa, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Yueru is here. There are distinguished guests visiting outside the house. Grandpa went to greet him. How are you feeling?" Shen Wanshuang looked at his granddaughter and asked with concern.
A few days ago, my granddaughter went out to visit relatives and was robbed by bandits. If he hadn't been rescued by a righteous man, he would have had to be sent away by the white-haired man to the black-haired man.
He, Shen Wanshuang, only has one son, and this son only has one son and one daughter, so Shen Wanshuang loves this granddaughter very much.
"Grandpa, I'm fine! Have you found out the identity of your benefactor?" Shen Yueru asked.
At the same time, the image of his benefactor popped up in his mind, especially the scene of countless gray wolves surrounding him, which made Shen Yueru obsessed and would never forget this scene in his life.
Shen Wanshuang shook his head and said: "Grandpa hasn't found out yet, but don't worry, he will definitely find out. We, the Shen family, will repay any kindness we have. I won't tell you for now. We can't keep our distinguished guests waiting for too long."
"Since you are a distinguished guest, I will accompany grandpa." Shen Yueru also said.
Just like that, the grandfather and grandson went out.
"Shen Wanshuang pays homage to the young master!" After leaving the door, Shen Wanshuang was the first to salute.
Ling Ning helped Shen Wanshuang up and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to disturb Master Shen."
After saying that, Ling Ning looked at the astonished girl next to Shen Wanshuang and said with a smile: "Miss Yueru, we meet again!"
Shen Wanshuang was surprised and said: "Yueru, do you know the young master?!"
He didn't dare to call the prince, so he called him son. He was even more surprised that his granddaughter actually knew the prince.
When Shen Yueru saw Ling Ning, she was extremely surprised, her moon eyes were shining brightly, and she quickly said: "Grandpa, this is the benefactor who saved me!"
When Shen Wanshuang heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him again.
Ling Ning smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, there is no need to be polite. This is something that is determined by fate. It means that Miss Yueru and I are destined. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"What the young master said is absolutely true, it is indeed fate." Shen Wanshuang laughed loudly.
Shen Yueru on the side lowered her eyebrows shyly, while peeking at Ling Ning, her pretty face was blushing, she was very delicate.
When Shen Wanshuang saw this scene, he seemed to understand something.
Subsequently,
Ling Ning followed Shen Wanshuang to the living room.
"Yueru, Mr. Ling and I have important matters to discuss. You go prepare the banquet and clean the upper room at the same time!" Shen Wanshuang ordered.
"Okay, grandpa!" Shen Yueru nodded in agreement, and when he left, he didn't forget to take a peek at Ling Ning.
Only Ling Ning and Shen Wanshuang were left in the hall.
Shen Wanshuang knelt down and saluted: "Common citizen Shen Wanshuang, pay your respects to the prince!"
Ling Ning quickly helped Shen Wanshuang up and said with a smile: "Ling and Chen's family are family friends. Isn't such a great gift a sign of separation?"
Shen Wanshuang stood up, with red eyes, and said: "I was extremely sad to learn that the old prince was killed. Now that the prince has turned against Liang and avenged his father, I am willing to spend all the Shen family property to avenge the old prince!"
Unexpectedly, Ling Ning shook his head and said: "Master Shen is willing to help me, and I understand it, but I can't get the Shen family's property."
"Your Majesty..."
Shen Wanshuang was anxious and wanted to speak, but Ling Ning raised her hand and stopped him.
Ling Ning smiled and said: "I don't want to take the Shen family's property, not because I don't need it, but because I hope that Mr. Shen will use the money to expand his business and prepare more funds for me."
Only then did Shen Wanshuang understand the reason and immediately said: "Please give me your Majesty's instructions. As long as the Shen family can be used, the Shen family will be obliged to do so!"
Ling Ning nodded, then took out a booklet from her arms and handed it to Shen Wanshuang.
This booklet is based on what Ling Ning learned in his previous life, and compiled some product processes, such as soap, perfume, etc. These are products that have not yet appeared in this era. As long as they are manufactured, they will be profitable.
Doesn’t every time traveler like to do these things?
Ling Ning is no exception. If you can make money, you won't hide it.
"Master Shen, if we produce the things here, we are guaranteed to make a huge profit. The future development of the Beiyou Army will also depend on Master Shen's funding." Ling Ning said with a smile.
Shen Wanshuang can make the Shen family business bigger, so he naturally has his unique vision. If the products in the brochure really have the recorded effects, he will definitely make a lot of money.
So Shen Wanshuang said quickly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will keep a close eye on this matter and produce the above things as soon as possible."
Ling Ning smiled and said: "Then it's hard work, Master Shen. By the way, I will leave Lishuiguan early tomorrow morning, and I have to spend the night in Shen's house today."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. This is an honor for the villain and his family." Shen Wanshuang responded with a smile.
Later, Ling Ning had dinner at Shen's house and settled in.
The night is dark.
Ling Ning did not rest, but sat under the lamp and read a book.
"Boom!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and guard Zhang Quan pushed the door open and entered.
"Your Majesty, everything in the Shen family is normal, and Shen Wanshuang has gone to bed." Zhang Quan said respectfully.
Although the Shen family was trustworthy, Ling Ning, who was cautious, still asked Zhang Quan to lead people to monitor everything in the Shen family.
Moreover, Ling Ning deliberately said that he would only stay for one night, which was a hint, telling Shen Wanshuang that if he wanted to take action, night would be his only chance.
"Okay, continue to monitor!" Ling Ning ordered.
Zhang Quan immediately retreated.
Ling Ning put down the book and couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. You should be careful. But this is not enough."
"The Shen family must be controlled by me and completely used by me."
"The moonlight is good tonight, suitable for stealing fragrance and jade..."
"Everything is for the great cause!"
Thinking of this, Ling Ning stood up and left the room.
He walked around the Shen residence, accidentally came to the room of Miss Shen Yueru, and knocked on the door.
"who is it?"
Shen Yueru was not asleep yet, but was already lying on the bed. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door and asked immediately.
Ling Ning said: "It's me."
Shen Yueru's pretty face turned red.
In the middle of the night, he came to find me. What did he want to do?
"Is something wrong, Master?" Shen Yueru couldn't help but ask.
Ling Ning smiled and said, "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I won't have time to say goodbye to you. And after this farewell, I'm afraid we won't see each other in a short time. By the way, you should know my identity."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yueru immediately sat up with a nervous look on his face.
She already knew that the benefactor who saved her was Ling Ning, the king of Beidi County who rebelled against Liang. Naturally, she also knew that Ling Ning was about to face the surging army of the imperial court.
If he wins, then everything will be fine.
But if he fails, his life may be in danger.
By then, I'm afraid there will be no chance of meeting each other again.
Thinking of this, Shen Yueru hurriedly came to the door and opened the door.
The moonlight shines into the room, spreading a layer of white gauze over Shen Yueru's body. Because she was in a hurry, she only wore her undershirt. Although the undershirt was a little loose, it also highlighted her graceful figure.
He's not old, he has a lot of money, and he has the talent to make things happen.
Facing Ling Ning's sincere gaze, Shen Yueru's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head, feeling extremely shy.
"Yueru, you are so beautiful." Ling Ning praised her heartily.
Although Shen Yueru was shy, her heart was as sweet as honey.
Ever since she was rescued by Ling Ning, she has been in love with him, and now that we have the chance to meet him again, she is even more in love with him.
Hearing the praises of the one you admire at this time is definitely sweeter than eating honey.
There's drama!
When Ling Ning saw Shen Yueru's expression, she knew she could go a step further.
