My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 341 The Eight Characters of a Dead Man?!
Cloud shadows sweep across the sky, peach blossoms greet the spring breeze.

Zeng Anmin sat in the courtyard, looking into the house.

At this moment, Qin Shoucheng and Qin Wanyue emerged from the main hall, led by their father with a smile.

"In that case, your Zeng family should quickly prepare the betrothal gifts."

"Okay, I'll see you out."

…………

Zeng Anmin followed at a distance behind.

He never expected the final result to be like this.

They got engaged.

But it wasn't fully booked.

With the Demon Emperor Xiang Liu now dead, the Holy Dynasty and the Jiang Kingdom are discussing a counterattack against Wan Yao Mountain.

And there will be action on this matter very soon.

Of course, this was news from within the imperial court. Zeng Anmin was not an official in the court, so naturally he was not as well-informed as his father and Qin Shoucheng.

The first thing Qin Shoucheng did was to infiltrate the demon race, travel thousands of miles, and lure Xiang Liu to the capital so that he could kill him.

He was the second person to deserve credit in this matter.

It was precisely because of this great achievement that his father promoted Qin Shoucheng to the position of Minister of Revenue.

Yes, that's right.

Lou Yingqi left, and Qin Shoucheng returned.

My father is now at the height of his power in Beijing.

He had the title of Duke of Qi, plus the blessing of being the eighth disciple of the Confucian sage.

He was already the undisputed leader in the entire Shilin community.

In such a vast court, Grand Secretary Li Zhen had painstakingly managed things for decades, yet it couldn't compare to his father's sudden rise to power.

Moreover, for a long time to come, the entire court will become a stage for my father to dominate.

Because the next step is to conquer the demons!
The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, a place longed for by generations of meritorious figures.

The phrase "Drinking Horse in the Demon Capital" represents an achievement that countless heroes throughout history have dreamed of!

The most crucial figure in the demon-slaying campaign is Zeng Shilin.

It can only be Zeng Shilin!
He will be the sharpest blade in the Jiang and Sheng kingdoms, piercing straight into the capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!

The Mandarin Duck Formation that Zeng Anmin developed is the scabbard that holds this sharp knife!
However, this incident became an obstacle to Zeng Anmin's marriage to Qin Wanyue.

"First, set a wedding date with the two of them. When I return from my campaign against the demons, that will be their wedding day."

These are Zeng Shilin's original words.

Qin Shoucheng naturally understood the significance of the words "conquering demons".

Therefore, he didn't say much, and the marriage between Zeng Anmin and Qin Wanyue was thus settled.

Zeng Anmin was so fast that he couldn't keep up.

They just arrived this morning.

In the afternoon, my father sent a matchmaker to the Qin residence to arrange the betrothal.

The matchmaker, carrying the goose, completed this step in just half an hour.

They even asked for Qin Wanyue's birth date and time.

That evening, the old man invited a disciple from the Xuanzhen Division to come to the house to read the birth charts.

It's someone I know!

"Xu Mingxin!"

Zeng Anmin saw a very familiar figure.

This person was hired by his father to help him and Qin Wanyue analyze their birth charts.

He originally thought his father had just randomly invited an outer disciple, but he never expected it to be a personal disciple!
That's right, it's the one who makes babies during sex!

"what?"

Upon seeing Zeng Anmin, Xu Mingxin was initially taken aback, then her eyes revealed a look of confusion:

"The servant said he invited me to the Duke's mansion to have my birth chart checked, saying someone wanted to get engaged."

"It couldn't be you, could it?!"

Xu Mingxin was also stunned. After he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he quickly looked around before leaning closer to Zeng Anmin and whispering:
"Could it really be you?!"

Zeng Anmin gave a dry laugh: "It really is me."

"and many more!"

Xu Mingxin took the birth chart in her hand, then looked at Zeng Anmin in astonishment and said:

"What about Junior Sister Sai?!"

After speaking, he realized his voice was a bit loud and disrespectful to Zeng Anmin, so he quickly pulled Zeng Anmin to a corner and warned him in a lower voice:
“You haven’t been to the Xuanzhen Division these past few days, and Junior Sister Sai has been talking about you every day.”

"Others may not be able to see her feelings, but do you think we, her senior brothers, can't?"

"Junior Sister Sai is a genius that our Xuanzhen Division has seen once in a hundred years. You intend to make her your concubine?"

No one in this world would think it's a bad thing for a man to have multiple wives. However, the status of wives and concubines is clearly distinct.

As you can see, even though Aunt Lin has been in the Zeng family for many years, she has always worked diligently and wholeheartedly for the Zeng family.

However, she was still not promoted to the position of legal wife by her father.

This is enough to show how strict the place is.

"Don't be impatient yet."

Zeng Anmin also lowered his voice, looking at Xu Mingxin and saying:

"You don't need to make this public for now."

"My marriage to Sister Qin will definitely be postponed. It will probably be a long time before we officially get married."

It's not that I don't want to help you.

Xu Mingxin sighed, staring intently at Zeng Anmin as he said seriously:

"The Duke of Qi's Mansion".

"Even I, someone who's not in officialdom, know that countless eyes are watching us from the imperial court to the common people!"

"Let alone something as important as an engagement, even if a servant in the manor falls down a few times today, someone with ulterior motives might find out about it the next day."

"I can't hide it."

"Take a look at your birth chart first, don't worry about anything else for now."

Zeng Anmin felt immense pressure.

What should I say when facing the Eldest Princess and Sai Chuxue?
We can't really let Sai Chuxue become a concubine, can we?

Zeng Anmin touched his chin.

Given Sai Chuxue's personality, as long as I talk to her nicely and say a few sweet words, she'll definitely believe me in her dazed state; she's very easy to coax.

Getting her to agree to be a concubine isn't actually that difficult.

But what did the eldest princess say?
Knowing her personality, even if I explained it to her until the very end, she definitely wouldn't believe me.

And even if she could be persuaded by me, even if I could get her to be my concubine?

"Unless I can directly break through to the first rank and become an existence like the Confucian Sage."

Zeng Anmin touched his chin.

"What first-class?"

Xu Mingxin frowned as she watched Zeng Anmin mutter to himself.

"It's okay."

Zeng Anmin glanced at Xu Mingxin and waved his hand helplessly.

Why is it so difficult to be Aquaman?

Should I just give up being a player?
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

Zeng Anmin glanced at Xu Mingxin:

"How did the Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) analysis go?"

Xu Mingxin frowned slightly.

"Their birth charts are compatible, but they will not get married today."

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment.

"There's something wrong with your birth chart."

Xu Mingxin frowned deeply, her fingers counting rapidly.

What problems could there be with my birth chart?

Zeng Anmin was also at a loss. He stared at Xu Mingxin and said, "Can't you be a little more professional?"

Xu Mingxin remained silent, calculating with her fingers.

"Hey... don't stand there..."

Zeng Anmin waited for a long time and became somewhat impatient.

"Pfft~"

Zeng Anmin hadn't even finished speaking.

Xu Mingxin spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What are you doing!"

Fortunately, Zeng Anmin reacted quickly and dodged the attack.

Xu Mingxin stared intently at Zeng Anmin, her face somewhat pale:

"No! Your birth chart is incorrect!"

"To die without luck!"

"Your birth chart clearly belongs to a dead person!"
