Cheng Ning really didn't expect Nan Entropy to come.
The last time we met was at the beginning of the year. Cheng Ning on the hunting ground was like a spoiled bird.
When we meet again, things have changed and times have changed.
It felt like Nan Entropy's eyes fell on him for a long time before he looked away and turned to smile.
"It's really you." He walked towards Cheng Ning: "The rich Lord of Youshui City."
When Youshui City emerged in the north, many people in the Five Continents were shocked and suspicious.
How could such a force be so powerful? It was at its peak as soon as it appeared.
And there were vague rumors at the beginning that the man and woman of the city lord did not know.
But then the news of Cheng Ning's death reached Dalan. At that time, Nan Entropy suddenly found out the news and went to Jinyang and Yanjing in person.
But obviously he didn't get anything. Cheng Ning's body had been secretly disposed of, and Wei Yanzhou only gave him a cold look when he saw it.
Xiongjing is natural, and you can understand each other without speaking.
Wei Yanzhou has changed a lot from before. He is as sinister as a sword that breaks bamboo: "I knew you had an impure mind, but you will never have a chance."
But all the confrontations are in the past.
Nan Entropy concealed the emotions and momentary impulse in his eyes.
The carefree smile of before was restored again.
Go see Cheng Ning.
The wet nurse took the child over and glanced at Nan Entropy worriedly.
She didn't know who this was, but he was dressed very noblely and had an extraordinary temperament. He was the first person she had seen from Cheng Ning's past in this mansion.
"How could there be suspicion on me?" Cheng Ning said, "I have never used my true identity when dealing with affairs in Youshui City."
Since Youshui City has nothing to do with the Five Continents and Ten Kingdoms, she doesn't want to have too much to do with these people.
"It's a coincidence in time," Nan Entropy unfolded his fan to fan himself: the weather in November is not too cold: "The rise of Youshui City was too sudden."
In fact, that was not entirely the case. He just felt that Cheng Ning would not die so easily.
Instinctively he didn't want to believe it.
No matter what, Nan Entropy is considered half a friend when not on the battlefield.
Cheng Ning didn't want to go into details about the past, and just said: "I asked you to help me at the beginning. Although I didn't expect how things turned out in the end, I still thank you."
"Thank me?" Nan Entropy chuckled and took a step forward. He was very tall and his shadow could almost cover Cheng Ning's entire delicate body.
The guests behind him were in chaos, and his move caused inexplicable booing.
They all said that their city lord's appearance was outstanding, but he gave birth to a child alone and never saw the child's father.
Now this man with a unique temperament and good looks seems to have an unspeakable ambiguity towards the city lord.
Not only the guests, but also Cheng Ning felt it.
I didn't think anything was wrong when I saw Nan Entropy in the past, but now, there is a hint of oppression in my sight that I can't ignore.
She took a step back slightly, not very used to this kind of interaction.
"you--"
"That can't be just words." Nan Entropy quickly interrupted her: "The power in the hands of the Lord of Youshui City cannot be underestimated. How about doing business with me?"
Business?
Cheng Ning raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness wants to buy coal from me?"
"Anyway, the Lord of Youshui City is doing all the business in Wuzhou. Every winter in Dalan, we have a shortage of coal supply."
"It's business, that's easy to talk about." Cheng Ning smiled cheerfully: "As long as you have enough money, I will send someone to talk to you."
"No one else can do this business. You can only negotiate it in person. You also need to go to Dalan in person."
Cheng Ning didn't even go to Southern Xinjiang, let alone Da Lan.
She was slightly scrutinizing: "Da Lan's power has fallen into your hands? Can you now make full decisions?"
"No." Nan Entropy smiled mysteriously: "So this is not asking the city lord to come out and ask my father for money."
With Cheng Ning's mind, he knew what was going on without even asking.
Although Nan Entropy always seems to be out of tune, he has a lot of ideas in his heart. The business is fake, and it's not enough to ask her to deal with the money in his father's treasury.
She sneered lightly: "His Highness still treats me as a supporter."
"You can't say that," Nan Entropy said in a consultative tone: "Although Youshui City is powerful, it has no backing, and your identity as a woman will be exposed to the public sooner or later. I don't say that Cheng Ning is weak, but You have to admit, wealth only breeds covetousness.”
Cheng Ning said nothing, holding on to the railing and turning to look at the lotus pond.
"But if you can have a country to back you," Nan Entropy said side by side with her, "the power of a country is not the same as that of a city. You should understand that it is easier to do things if you have a backing."
After saying this, Cheng Ning didn't speak for a while.
Then she chuckled.
"Your Highness is trying to play tricks on me, right?" Cheng Ning sighed and said with a smile, "You have already had the decision-making power of Dalan, right?"
Dalan has kept a low profile in recent years and has not shown much prominence, but its power is something that even Jinyang does not dare to underestimate.
Nan Entropy is one of the heirs. When dealing with Cheng Ning, he always uses gentle tactics, saying that he has no one to rely on in the royal family.
He had been telling Cheng Ning before that he wanted to use Cheng Ning's momentum to rise to the top.
In Cheng Ning's opinion, there is something wrong with it.
When Cheng Ning asked him so directly, he obviously didn't expect it and was taken aback.
Cheng Ning patted him on the shoulder: "Admit it, Your Highness, I can quite guess what you are thinking."
No matter how Cheng Ning guessed it, Nan Entropy smiled: "You have to admit that what I said is right."
Cheng Ning nodded: "Indeed, by making friends with powerful countries behind your back, You Shui will have less worries in the future."
"Right." Nan Entropy laughed again and put away the folding fan: "So what do you think, Lord City Lord?"
"I've thought about it. Rather than cooperating with His Highness, I want to know the purpose of His Highness's thankless behavior."
If Cheng Ning had only thought that Nan Entropy's entanglement with her was boring in the past, after an incident involving the Cheng family, she could no longer think so.
Especially when Nan Entropy saw her for the first time, that look was too...
It's okay to do business, but Cheng Ning doesn't want to mix it with other things.
She has always made a distinction between public and private affairs.
"My purpose."
Nan Entropy chewed these two words in a low voice, and then smiled.
He stared at Cheng Ning very seriously, and there was something in his eyes that he couldn't hide.
"Can't you guess?"
"It's because I guessed it, but Your Highness, what do you want?" Cheng Ning pointed to herself, and then pointed to the child in the nurse's arms in the distance: "A shabby body, or a child?"
"Cheng Ning, I don't allow you to say that about yourself." Nan Entropy rarely called her name seriously, "Why do you say that?"
He glanced at the child, and then said: "You don't know, that person is dead. If you don't mind, I will take care of you and the child from now on."
