#462 - Marriage Certificate

The old man's voice slowly spread throughout the courtyard.

Everyone raised their heads to look over.

They saw an old man slowly stand up, a young girl wearing a bamboo hat following beside him, walking step by step towards Old Madam Xu.

Most of the people who entered the Xu residence were dressed impeccably.

However, the old man's attire could no longer be described as "ordinary"; it even had some patches.

Yet, this old man gave off an extraordinary aura.

The woman following behind the old man gave off an even more noble and aloof aura.

When Wu Yanhan saw the old man walking over step by step, she wanted to stand up, but Xu Ming grabbed her small hand and shook his head at her: "Don't rush, let's observe further."

Li Han and the others at another table also wanted to get up, but Yu Ping'an held them down: "Let's wait and see, no need to rush."

Li Han and the others looked at Xu-dage's table and noticed that Xu Ming was also very calm.

They then looked at Mr. Cao.

Mr. Cao was still sipping his wine, looking very composed.

Since Mr. Cao looked so composed, it meant that Mr. Cao must have confidence.

Moreover, if anything happened, Xu-dage would definitely take action first. They just needed to pay attention to Xu-dage's movements. If they acted rashly, they might ruin Xu-dage's plans.

The others in the courtyard all whispered to each other, discussing who this person was.

The old lady sat back down in her chair.

The old lady felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, but because the time interval was too long, the old lady couldn't remember.

Not only the old lady, but many officials in the residence also felt that the name was somewhat familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere.

"Liu Feng . . ."

"Liu Feng . . ."

"Is he that Mr. Liu?"

Wu Yanhan muttered the name Liu Feng, her eyes suddenly brightening, as if she had thought of something.

"You know him?" Xu Ming had never heard this name before.

But after Wu Yanhan remembered, Old Madam Xu and many high-ranking officials of the Wu Kingdom all remembered.

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him."

Wu Yanhan looked at the old man warily.

"The first Prime Minister of the Wu Kingdom was named Liu Feng."

Xu Ming: "?"

Wu Yanhan continued, "Back then, Liu Feng was known as the number one strategist in the world, and he was not only able to strategize in the camp but also able to fight on the battlefield. The ancestor was able to establish such a large empire and establish such a Wu Kingdom. This Mr. Liu can be said to have made indispensable contributions.

And Shan Wang was a disciple of Mr. Liu.

However, during the imperial succession battle, Mr. Liu took a side, the side of Shan Wang.

After Mr. Liu took a side, many people followed Mr. Liu and invested in Shan Wang.

At that time, Shan Wang's chances of winning were indeed very high, but in the end, Shan Wang still failed.

How exactly Shan Wang failed? History books do not record it, but to be honest, even I don't think Shan Wang would have failed at that time.

After Shan Wang failed to seize the throne, this Mr. Liu and some court officials disappeared without a trace. The great-grandfather, grandfather, and even the father emperor sent people to look for this Mr. Liu's whereabouts, but they all gained nothing.

Some say he went into seclusion in the mountains, never asking about worldly affairs again, focusing on cultivation. Others say he went to the Northern Wilderness.

If he is really that Mr. Liu, this is his first appearance in nearly three hundred years."

"You seem to respect this Mr. Liu very much, Yanhan." Xu Ming was a little surprised.

Wu Yanhan had always looked down on the remnants of Shan Wang's faction.

This is not to say that Wu Yanhan looked down on those courtiers who fought for the throne before, but that she looked down on these courtiers who were still causing trouble after their defeat.

Now that the Wu Kingdom has stabilized and is becoming more and more prosperous, you are still causing trouble.

Are these people doing this for their own selfish desires or for the people of the Wu Kingdom?

But when talking about this person, Wu Yanhan always used "Mr." to address him.

Wu Yanhan was proud and arrogant, and there were really not many people who could be called "Mr." by Wu Yanhan.

Wu Yanhan nodded: "Although everyone stands on different positions, we cannot deny Mr. Liu's contribution to the Wu Kingdom. Without Mr. Liu, I am afraid there would be no Wu Kingdom today."

Xu Ming asked again: "What is the realm of this Mr. Liu?"

Wu Yanhan shook her head: "It is said that this Mr. Liu was a Jade Purity Realm Confucian scholar more than two hundred years ago."

Xu Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After the Golden Core Realm, cultivation becomes slower, and after reaching the Upper Five Realms, it is even more difficult to move forward.

The other party was in the Jade Purity Realm more than two hundred years ago, so in theory, he should still be in the Jade Purity Realm.

And Mr. Cao is at the peak of the Jade Purity Realm.

In theory, there should be no big problem. Mr. Cao should be able to subdue this Prime Minister Liu.

But a Jade Purity Realm cultivator dares to expose himself in Wudu? Moreover, compared to his realm, his identity is more important.

So what exactly is he here for?

Since he's here, he probably won't be able to leave.

"Old sir, are you Prime Minister Liu Feng?" The old lady looked at the old man in front of her and slowly opened her mouth.

Liu Feng bowed: "Indeed, I didn't expect you to still remember me. I wonder, how have you been these years, old madam?"

Old Madam Xu looked at this old friend from the past: "Unlike you cultivators, this old woman doesn't have many days left to live. And don't call me old madam, you are much older than me."

Liu Feng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of world-weariness: "Calling you 'old madam' is a sign of respect, isn't it?"

"Heh heh!" Old Madam Xu looked at the other party calmly. The usually muddled old lady's eyes flashed with maturity and calmness. "Mr. Liu, I wonder what brings you to my Xu residence? My Xu residence is such a small place that it can't entertain you, sir."

Liu Feng took out a letter from his sleeve: "I have come here to give Old Madam Xu a gift. I hope the old madam will not dislike it."

"What is this?" Old Madam Xu looked at the thing Liu Feng was holding in his hands and did not immediately take it.

Liu Feng smiled and slowly said two words:

"Marriage certificate."
