Chapter 218 This hatred lasts forever!
"Master Yan, I didn't expect that you are not only a first-class writer, but also have such amazing skills!"
Jiang Xiner looked at Li Changsheng with starry eyes and said with admiration.
Li Changsheng smiled modestly and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Xiner said, "Don't call me Miss, it feels awkward. Just call me Xiner!"
Li Changsheng said, "Isn't this a bit bad?"
"What's wrong with that, or are you unwilling to call me Xin'er?"
When she said this, Jiang Xiner pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved.
Li Changsheng explained: "Miss Xin'er, you misunderstood. I absolutely did not mean that!"
Jiang Xiner smiled and blushed as she asked, "I wonder if Master Yan is married?"
Li Changsheng said: "I had a fiancée before!"
When Jiang Xiner heard Yan Qing say that he had a fiancée before, her bright eyes dimmed instantly and were filled with loss.
"Then she must be very happy?"
Li Changsheng was brewing his emotions and pretended to be sad and said, "She died three years ago!"
"died?"
Jiang Xiner's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief.
"I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story!"
Jiang Xiner said the words of apology, but she was secretly delighted in her heart.
However, how could she hide her little thoughts from a womanizing veteran like Li Changsheng?
Of course, he did not expose this.
Instead, he chose to act to the end.
"That was three years ago. It's long gone."
Having said this, he transformed into a melancholy prince, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and sighed with deep emotion.
"Alas, since ancient times, love has only brought regrets, and this regret will never end!"
Although Jiang Xiner had only a superficial understanding of poetry and songs, she could truly feel the regret and deep affection in the two lines of poetry: "Since ancient times, love has been left with empty regrets, and this regret has lingered forever."
A woman like her doesn't empathize easily.
But once you start to empathize, you will be deeply involved in it.
At this time, Jiang Xiner had already developed a great interest in [Yan Qing].
She carefully chose her words and asked, "Can you tell me the story between you and her?"
Li Changsheng put on a melancholy look, as if he couldn't bear to look back on the past, and said with a forced smile:
"It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore!"
Jiang Xiner's interest was completely piqued.
The less Li Changsheng talked, the more curious she became.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore today. But you have to promise me one thing!"
Li Changsheng asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xiner said, "When you are willing to tell me the story between you and her, please tell me, okay?"
Li Changsheng thought it was something serious, so he agreed to it immediately.
"okay!"
After receiving Li Changsheng's promise, Jiang Xiner smiled happily like a child who had received her favorite thing.
Looking at Jiang Xiner, who was smiling so innocently and brightly, Li Changsheng felt inexplicably sorry for her.
Alas, it’s all the fault of that damn empress!
It would be fine if I just worked like a slave in the palace.
Even outside the palace, I wouldn't be allowed to rest...
……
After arriving at the Jiang family mansion, Jiang Kuanglong, as well as Jin Wunan, Jiang Tong and other confidants, had already been waiting there.
Li Changsheng stepped forward and saluted Jiang Kuanglong.
"Junior Yanqing, greetings to Duke Jiang!"
Jiang Kuanglong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Li Changsheng up and down.
Although Li Changsheng appeared to be as calm as an old dog on the surface, he was actually very nervous inside.
Although his ability to disguise himself as any living being has been tested by Qingying.
But it’s better to be safe than sorry!
What's more, Jiang Kuanglong is a genuine heavenly-level grandmaster.
If this old fox could see anything.
Given the Jiang family's deep hatred for him, the consequences are naturally predictable.
Meng Hui's face was full of admiration. He pointed at Li Changsheng and introduced him, "Duke Jiang, that 'The Goddess of the Luo River' was written by Yan Qing!"
Jiang Kuanglong smiled slightly and said, "I have already read "The Goddess of Luo River". It is definitely the best in the world!"
When Jiang Xiner heard her father praising Yan Qing, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Dad, this Young Master Yan is not only the best in literary talent, but also has excellent martial arts skills!"
Jiang Kuanglong was quite surprised and asked, "Oh, did Yan Qing pass the martial arts test?"
At this moment, the housekeeper Jiang Tong was completely confused.
In his impression, Yan Qing didn't even take the martial arts test, so how could he have passed?
As for Yan Qing's ability to obtain the [A-level] qualification in the Heroes Building, it was simply because his "The Goddess of Luo River" was too outstanding.
But before Jiang Tong could explain, Jiang Xiner briefly recounted what had just happened at the door of the inn.
After listening to Jiang Xiner's story, everyone present was shocked.
Jiang Kuanglong couldn't believe it and asked again quickly.
"Xin'er, what are you talking about? Yan Qing defeated Jiang Lang with just one move. He even survived thirty rounds against Jia Kui without losing."
Jiang Xiner heard that her father did not believe her words, so she became unhappy and said with a pout:
"Dad, many people were present at this incident. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Jiang Lang and Jia Kui to see if I'm lying."
Jiang Kuanglong saw that his daughter spoke so confidently, and he felt that something that happened in public could not be faked.
Thinking of this, he cast an admiring look at Li Changsheng.
"Young Master Yan is a man of both civil and military talents. He truly is a hero born young!"
Immediately, Jiang Kuanglong asked Li Changsheng several current affairs issues in a casual manner.
Li Changsheng answered all of these questions fluently.
At the same time, he also expressed his concerns about the current government.
This made Jiang Kuanglong admire his talent.
"Master Yan, I wonder what you think of the current emperor's favoritism towards eunuchs?"
Although Jiang Kuanglong did not directly say who the eunuch His Majesty was talking about, anyone who was not a fool could guess it.
This eunuch specifically refers to Li Changsheng!
Li Changsheng thought about it and deliberately put on an indignant attitude of worrying about the country and the people.
"Duke Jiang, allow me to say something extremely treasonous. Your Majesty's favoritism towards eunuchs is a bit like Qin II, Hu Hai, favoring Zhao Gao!"
"Given time, our eunuch Li may very well follow Zhao Gao's example, openly calling a deer a horse in the court and eliminating dissidents. He will cause Dawu to repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty, leading to chaos and misery for the people!"
After hearing Yan Qing's heartfelt words, everyone present fell silent.
Even Meng Hui, who considered himself a descendant of Mencius, the second sage, had some complaints about His Majesty's favoritism towards eunuchs.
Jiang Kuanglong asked, "Then, from Master Yan's perspective, how should we break the impasse?"
Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then said mysteriously, "I have three strategies: best, medium, and worst, to break this situation!"
