Yang Sixian drank calmly.

Wen Huan looked at Li Chenan in shock.

Wu Xichen didn't seem to hear these words. He was eating the food leisurely.

Ye Po was thoughtful, but ignored him. He also picked up the chopsticks.

Li Chenan's mind was spinning rapidly, because the sentence Yang Sixian asked seemed to be a simple multiple-choice question, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning behind it——

He clearly knew the relationship between himself and Liu Zuo!

When he asked this question, it seemed that he could help himself hide the fact that his superiors had ordered Liu Zuo to survive.

He said so many things to himself, and everything he showed was his trust in himself.

He even said that his granddaughter admired him greatly.

But will all this be true?

Li Chenan suddenly laughed and said calmly:

"Young man appreciates Mr. Yang's kindness."

"But this is the first task given to the boy from above. Oh, no, this is the second task. The first task is for the boy to retrieve the list of members of the Guangling branch."

Li Chenan took out the list from his arms and handed it to Yang Sixian.

"Fortunately, the boy has lived up to his mission. After working hard these days, he finally found this list. I asked Mr. Yang to forward it to his superiors."

Yang Sixian looked at Li Chenan again, stretched out his hand to take the list, glanced at it roughly, put it into his arms, and then heard Li Chenan say again:

"It's my luck to be the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society!"

"It's a boy's job to serve the Ichthyosaurus!"

"I'm not hiding anything from Mr. Yang. Speaking of which, Liu Zuo really helped me with some things, but... in the face of the righteousness of the Fish and Dragon Society, what does the personal relationship between me and Liu Zuo mean?"

An old man and a young man looked at each other.

The smile on Li Chenan's face slowly faded, and his eyesight became cold.

"Since the superiors want Liu Zui to die, then he must die!"

He leaned over, with a sinister look on his face: "Everything is going according to Mr. Yang's plan. If necessary, I can personally take out Liu Zuo's head to prove my understanding of the Fish and Dragon Society." of loyalty!"

Yang Sixian looked at Li Chen'an for three breaths, and then laughed, "But if this happens...this matter will spread to Kyoto, Hua Manting will hear about it."

"Although Hua Manting is just the dean of the Taiyuan Academy, his disciples' old friends are all over the government and the public."

"After Mr. Li did this, have you ever thought that those in the court might regard you as an enemy?"

"In addition, Hua Manting is majoring in "Ning Shi Ji Yuan Bai Pian" and is discussing including those three poems of yours. This matter has spread to his ears...I am afraid that not only will he no longer regard you as a Forgetting the friendship of the year will end the discussion on your three poems."

"Your talents will be hidden, and your reputation will probably become infamous in the hearts of students all over the world!"

"This price is too high in my opinion. Do you really want to stop thinking about it?"

This time even Wu Xichen looked at Li Chenan.

But Li Chenan still shook his head and said firmly: "Talent is not something that can be used for food. Besides, when I wrote those three poems, I never thought of using them to become famous."

"To be honest with Mr. Yang, before I got the identity of the leader of the Fish and Dragon Society, I lived a relatively humble life in Guangling City."

"I don't like that humble appearance. That kind of life is like a nightmare. I've had enough."

"What I want is to be able to walk around Guangling City proudly like I am now, and to be able to make everyone in Guangling City bow their heads when they see me!"

He withdrew his gaze and sat up straight, his whole body filled with a bold air.

"For the sake of a stable life and a bright future, even if everyone in the world regards me, Li Chenan, as a devil, so what?"

"good!"

Yang Sixian applauded, "Although Mr. Li is young, he is not pedantic at all. In my opinion, this is the most valuable vision!"

"In this world, whether it's fame or profit, it all comes down to the word power."

"No matter how famous you are, no matter how rich you are, no matter how rich you are, no matter how rich you are like An Caode, who was the richest man in the world a hundred years ago, in the face of power... you either shut up or... disappear into ashes!"

"I hope you can understand now!"

"The skin of the Yulonghui was woven by Prime Minister Ji. People in the world are afraid of the Yulonghui. In fact, what they are afraid of is the huge power in the hands of Prime Minister Ji!"

"So, since you are determined to serve the Fish and Dragon Society, you should know clearly that the one you really want to be loyal to is Prime Minister Ji!"

"Work hard. One day, you may really be able to meet Prime Minister Ji. You are the youngest among the thirty-six rudders of the Fish and Dragon Society, but in my opinion at the moment, you are the one with the most potential."

Yang Sixian patted Li Chenan on the shoulder with great satisfaction, "Although you have not been in office for a long time, and although you have not yet made any achievements, I believe that with these tricks of yours, your future is boundless!"

Li Chenan quickly poured wine for Yang Sixian, with a flattering look on his face, "Mr. Yang, I know that my foundation is shallow. If you want to get ahead in the Fish and Dragon Club... firstly, of course you need to complete the above tasks perfectly. Secondly, Well……"

He put his hand into his sleeve pocket, felt inside, and took out ten 100-tael silver notes.

He put the thousand taels of silver notes in Yang Sixian's hand, and said with a charming smile: "A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs! The boy's status is low now. There are things... there are things from above, but I still have to ask for help." Take good care of Mr. Yang!"

Yang Sixian was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Chenan with interest. He really didn't expect this kid to be so smart. Then he heard Li Chenan say again:

"The meaning is really shallow, mainly because my peach blossom wine has only been on the market for a long time. From now on, when the business of this wine takes off, my gratitude to Mr. Yang should not be limited to the annual festival. Those should be filial!”

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Sixian was not polite, he put the thousand taels of silver notes into his arms, "To be honest, I have to say that your small amount of silver notes is really the smallest share of my income."

"But collecting this small amount of money from you is the most comfortable experience I've ever had!"

"As for your filial piety in the future, this is really indispensable. But I am not coveting your money. The people at the helm of the Fish and Dragon Society are not short of money. So, your filial piety should be changed to giving wine!"

"Every month from now on, one hundred catties of peach blossom wine will be sent to Kyoto. This Huapingchun... ten catties will do. Only Prime Minister Ji can enjoy the fine wine of Huapingchun!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course Li Chenan understood, he smiled slightly and said, "Twenty pounds of Huaping Chunyue! Mr. Yang should keep ten pounds for himself!"

"..." Yang Sixian's old face suddenly looked like a blooming flower, "You boy, I really saw you right!"

"This is what the boy should do, Mr. Yang. I have another thing to tell you."

"Oh, tell me."

Li Chenan leaned over again and whispered something that shocked everyone:

"The boy has a very good relationship with the third lady of Zhongli Mansion. I heard that Zhongli Mansion and Prime Minister Ji are not on good terms... Everything about women here is trivial. I should cut off the relationship with the third lady in order to gain Prime Minister Ji’s trust!”

At this point, Yang Sixian really took a very serious look at Li Chenan.

Then, he stroked his long beard and shook his head.

"No, instead of breaking off the relationship with Zhongli Ruoshui, you need to get closer!"
