Chu Feng said with a cold face: “You must never let that person return to the capital alive. You immediately sent our black pawns to kill those hidden spies that have been exposed at all costs.”

The guard retreated, but Chu Feng was no longer in the mood to go out for a drink. He sat in the study room for a long time. In the end, he got up and went to the side hall.

Young Master Xu immediately got up and said to Chu Feng: “If his royal highness has something to do. We can meet another day.”

Chu Feng waved his hand: “We don’t need to change the day, let’s just talk today. This prince also has something to discuss with you.”

Young Master Xu was the youngest son of Old Master Xu. Old Master Xu once helped the emperor’s grandfather survive and finally ascended to the throne. It can be said that he, Chu Feng, can stand here today as a prince because of Old Master Xu’s contribution.

It’s a pity that Old Master Xu’s ability was not passed down. After his death, the businesses he built with hard work failed one by one under his sons’ management. Young Master Xu was the youngest son of Old Master Xu and his concubine. When Old Master Xu died, this young master was not even 1-year-old.

Now, he came to Chu Feng’s door and said that he had found the legacy of his father. In that book, he recorded what his father had learned throughout his life. He planned to use his father’s legacy to assist a monarch again.

And the monarch Young Master Xu chose to assist was Chu Feng.

The words that Young Master Xu said has not been verified yet. Today was a good day to verify it.

In Zui Xianju

Chu Feng asked for a private room facing the street. He and sat on the empty terrace and drunk some wine, while watching the constant flow of people on the street and chatting for a while.

Seeing that Young Master Xu became more relaxed, Chu Feng said: “This prince has something to ask Xu Gongzi for advice.”

Young Master Xu smiled a bit: “His royal highness, please speak!”

Chu Feng said, “Before asking that, this prince would like to ask first, why did Xu Gongzi choose this prince? Everyone in the world knows that the emperor prefers Prince Jin and he intends to help him reach the top. Don’t you know that?”

Young Master Xu said in a low voice: whispered: “I don’t know what the people in the whole world knows. But knowing that even the emperor is willing to help him gain power, so why would he need someone like me?”

Chu Feng suddenly had a realization. That’s right, there was nothing wrong with those words! He even felt like he was stupid in asking this question.

Chu Feng no longer had doubts in his heart, so he immediately said: “Although Dongfang Mu has retired for many years, he still has the power to speak in the court. As long as I can get his support, why should we worry about other great cause?”

Young Master Xu nodded: “Yes, this is the best solution. It’s just that, I heard Dongfang Mu once swore a poisonous oath in front of the first emperor death bed, that he would not hold more than half of the military of the Chu Country, and he actually doing this.”

Chu Feng coldly snorted, then said: “He said so, but Prince Jin is his apprentice. How can he have no personal feelings?”

Young Master Xu nodded his head: “That’s true, but I heard that Miss Dongfang has separated from Changyuan Houfu. The daughter that lived in the Houfu is fake, while the daughter that lived in the Dongfang Family Mansion is real. If his royal highness can win the heart of this young lady, and become the Dongfang Family’s son-in-law, you will naturally get a higher foothold than this apprentice.”

Chu Feng nodded his head: “It’s reasonable, but this fact is not easy to handle. Dongfang Family Mansion is not a place anyone can enter, this young lady doesn’t go out often. Even if she goes out, someone always follows her. Even in the palace, someone is following her secretly. I couldn’t find an opportunity to approach her, so I am asking you for advice.”

Young Master Xu smiled and said: “This is easy. You only need to hold a banquet all the time. In the capital, different kinds of flower viewing are being held by the nobles. But in fact, these gathering is a disguised form of seeking marriage for their children!”
