"Why are you so afraid of me talking to him about you?"
"Oh! There is no special reason! In short, Uncle Zhou, you must not talk to him about me, okay?"
Yan Ning clasped her hands together and begged.
"hehe......"
Zhou Changmin smiled thoughtfully and deliberately teased her: "If he takes the initiative to ask about something related to you, how should I answer?"
"You just don't know anything!"
"Haha...Okay then!"
"Hey, thank you, Uncle Zhou! I'll make you some tea right now! You'll be here in a while, it'll be ready to drink!"
Seeing that Zhou Changmin agreed, Yan Ning said very happily.
...
Zhou Changmin only brought one personal guard, and Lin Xu didn't bring anyone with him. Although Zhou Changmin was the governor of Jiangsu, Linshan Village was his own territory, and he believed that Zhou Changmin would not mess around.
Besides, if Zhou Changmin had other intentions, there would be no need for him to come in person and take risks.
"Lin Xu, how did you and Yan Ning meet?"
Although he promised not to talk about matters related to Yan Ning, this was the first thing Zhou Changmin said.
"She and I met by chance on a merchant ship. Later, she went to Ruhai College to listen to Mr. Huang Shi's lectures, and we happened to meet in the county seat. Later, she found Linshan Village."
Lin Xu told the truth.
"You mean, Yan Ning came here on her own initiative?"
"right."
"Then she also lives here voluntarily?"
"certainly."
Lin Xu smiled: "We are just a remote mountain village here. We do not have the right to restrict anyone's free entry and exit. If she did not stay here voluntarily, she would have left long ago."
"Then do you know who she is?"
Zhou Changmin stopped and looked at Lin Xu and asked.
"I asked, but she didn't say, but I can guess."
Lin Xu said frankly.
"Um......"
Zhou Changmin nodded: "With your understanding, you can naturally see it. Then you should know how heavy she is! If something happens to her here, can your small mountain village be able to survive it?"
"Then what do you mean, Mr. Zhou?"
Lin Xu was not frightened and asked in a nonchalant manner.
Zhou Changmin did not answer this question. He clasped his hands behind his back, glanced at the sky in the distance, and said: "I heard that you recruited veterans and young men to form an army privately, and even built a group of
Weapons and armor?”
After hearing this question, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel his heart sinking, but he still said calmly: "Master Zhou is right, I did form an army, but it was not 'privately'!"
"Haha, as a fifth-grade guerrilla general, you can't really build an army 'privately'!"
Zhou Changmin said with a playful smile.
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, but then he understood that Liu Mingju had obtained the position of a fifth-grade guerrilla general for himself. Although not many people knew about this matter, it was not a secret after all. With Zhou Changmin's energy, he knew about this matter.
It's so normal. If he doesn't know, it's a little abnormal!
"It's just a fifth-grade official. I didn't expect Master Futai to know about it."
Lin Xu said modestly.
"A mere fifth-grade official?"
Zhou Changmin suddenly raised his voice and said in a cold tone: "You are so loud! The county magistrate is only the seventh rank, but you actually said that the fifth rank is still a minor official! Even if he is a military general, he is by no means a minor official.
!Could it be that, in your eyes, our official position in the Daning Dynasty is so worthless!"
