Chapter 62: Distinguished Guest

In the Xiao Nanchen Palace in Chang'an in the west, Huan Yu naturally knew that Zhou Shengchen had a rich collection of books. And he knew better that even though he was young, Ji Shiyi, who came from the big Ji family, was still very well-read.

After hearing Huan Yu's question, Shiyi returned the favor and briefly talked about some of the books he knew about.

Sure enough, during the conversation between Huan Yu and Yang Shiyi, he heard her mention the titles of some ancient books, and he couldn't help but praise her with joy: "Mr. Yang is indeed a master, with such a large collection of books! Miss Yang also has a photographic memory. His talents are even more admirable to me."

Nao Shiyi quickly responded to the gift and said calmly: "In the past few years that I have been in the Xizhou Palace, my mother and uncle have sent some books respectively. I am willing to copy these books and give them to Longkang Academy."

After Huan Yu was slightly shocked, he immediately jumped up from his seat and continued to salute and express his gratitude to Yang Shiyi. Shiyi had no choice but to stand up and return the gift, saying that sending the book was a gift in return for being a host to Huan Yu when he was traveling in the south of the Yangtze River.

Huan Yu was still very happy, but Zhou Shengchen said calmly: "In my opinion, sir, there is no need to be so polite. Because we are currently separated by the Yangtze River, but we will definitely work together in the future."

When Huan Yu heard this, he immediately felt sad and bowed deeply again. His previous experiences were extremely painful. First, he was persecuted by the chaos in the Northern Chen Dynasty. On the way to escape, he lost many books in his collection, which was a great sorrow and desolation. What's more, on the way to escape, his beloved wife died.

The couple had a deep love for each other, and Huan Yu was deeply saddened by the loss of his love. After being escorted to Nanxiao by Zhou Shengchen, Huan Yu mourned the unfortunate death of his wife and no longer considered renewing their relationship.

How could he, who is well-read in scriptures, not know that the current confrontation between Beichen and Nanxiao across the river is a wound that divides the world. He was persecuted in Beichen and fled, resulting in the loss of many books and the death of his wife. This was Huan Yu's deepest understanding of Beichen and even this troubled world, which in turn gave rise to infinite indignation.

He is also full of knowledge. Even though he looks relaxed every day, there is no day in his heart when he is not looking forward to the emergence of a great hero with great righteousness in the world, who can truly save all people from fire and water.

In his eyes, Zhou Shengchen was indeed worthy of respect and admiration. But Huan Yu also knew that with his suave and free appearance, he was a die-hard loyalist to Beichen, but he was also a self-excluded member of the royal family.

Thinking of all these things, when Huan Yu listened to Zhou Shengchen's words, he first felt helpless, and then vaguely surprised.

After hesitating for a while, Huan Yu raised his hands and asked, "If your ears heard correctly, what did Your Highness just mean, was that the world will eventually be settled, and it will happen very soon?"

Zhou Shengchen nodded and smiled at him, and then looked out into the void through the gap in the gauze curtain of this pavilion. Slowly, he spoke again: "If the timing is coincidental, something that sir expects will naturally happen."

Huan Yu was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't make it too obvious in front of Zhou Shengyi, but he still faced Zhou Shengchen and said after bowing: "The world has been cleared of haze and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Without King Xiao Nanchen, I don't know who can do this. Who can calmly get along with people like King Wu Ruding of the North, Tutor Wen Rupin and me? They are all very harmonious."

Zhou Shengchen returned the courtesy slightly and smiled indifferently, but he was no longer humble.

Listening to their conversation, even though Huan Shiyi was still ignorant, he could understand Huan Yu's difficulties, and was extremely indignant about the chaos at this time, and looked forward to the great peace of the world.

But since she couldn't interrupt, let alone comment on such an important matter, she just nodded silently in agreement.

Huan Yu looked at her, then smiled at Zhou Shengchen and said: "Your Highness is young after all, and life-long events must not be delayed. If you feel that there is no suitable partner in Beichen, I can also ask my friends here to find a suitable partner for Your Highness. It is always impossible. It is better for my king to be alone in the world. I cannot bear to see a king as handsome and talented as me, so lonely."

Before Zhou Shengchen could answer, he felt his arm at his side being tightly grasped by a warm hand. Turning around, he saw that Shiyi looked at him with panic and worry, and then looked at Huan Yu with a frown.

After a simple psychological test, Huan Yu immediately saw from Jian Shiyi's anxious expression: this girl from a well-known family had indeed fallen in love with King Xiao Nanchen, and her heart was firm.

"Please don't blame me, Miss." Huan Yu saw that she was about to cry out of anger, and he quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm just telling the truth, just to fulfill your highness's good deeds. I also see that Miss Nao is eager for this, although I am stupid. , but how could you not know that the girl’s heart belongs to His Highness?”

At first, Yan Shiyi was indeed angry at what he said, but seeing that he apologized sincerely and spoke candidly, she was no longer angry at first, but blamed herself for being unable to calm down. When she came back to her senses, she could only blush with embarrassment: "Sure enough, "old ginger is still spicy"! This hateful Huan Yu tried out my feelings for Zhou Shengchen with just a few words written casually.

Although she was shy, she never wanted to hide herself anymore, lest Huan Yu really wanted to be a "matchmaker" for Zhou Shengchen.

After gathering up the courage, she blushed, lowered her head slightly and said in return: "Sir, you are thinking about my king, but this little girl knows better that you must serve my king personally." After saying this, she felt so embarrassed that she was wet with sweat. The dress shows through the front.

Huan Yu stopped talking and joking, saluted solemnly, and then looked at Zhou Shengchen.

The eyes of both of them were firm, because Huan Yu knew that Zhou Shengchen and Mao Shiyi were determined to be happy, which showed that Zhou Shengchen was determined to fight for their beautiful life and for the sake of all people in the world. Because Zhou Shengchen had made a vow before.

Zhou Shengchen also clearly understood from Huan Yu's eyes that this seemingly weak scribe was determined to help him.

They all knew it, but they didn't need to explain it. When Huan Yu was about to change the topic, he suddenly saw the little book boy rushing over to report: "Sir, come outside, come outside, come outside,"

The little book boy said urgently, it must be an unexpected "visitor" visiting. Huan Yu looked at Zhou Shengchen and saw that his expression was still peaceful, and he felt even more admired. Then, he smiled and comforted the little book boy and said, "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Secretly calming his breathing, the little book boy bowed and saluted again and said: "A few people came outside the academy door, they seemed to be from wealthy families. One of them claimed his surname was Xiao, and only said that he was the owner of the nearby farm and wanted to pay a visit to Mr. "

No wonder the little bookboys were so nervous, because Huan Yu had recently told them that there were distinguished guests coming to the academy and they should not let anyone know. This kind of thing almost proves that the identities of Zhou Shengchen and Min Shiyi cannot be explained clearly.

After he finished speaking, Huan Yu smiled and turned to look over. Zhou Shengchen smiled indifferently and said: "It seems that Mr. Huan, or this king, is about to meet an important guest."
