The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1128 Praise

"Sister Yuan! Sister Yuan!"

Sheng Yuan was sitting on the garden steps wiping his machete. Just as he was about to finish work, he heard the sound of running feet coming from afar, followed by An Yu's hurried shouting.

“???” Sheng Yuan tilted his head with question marks in his eyes, and saw this guy appear behind the Moon Gate with an eager face.

"Sister Yuan! Sister Yuan!"

When he saw Sheng Yuan, An Yu's eyes shone brighter.

"Aren't you going to Duke Sheng's Mansion? Why are you back so soon? Didn't they let you in?" Sheng Yuan saw him running towards her panting. His slightly disordered breathing couldn't hide his desire to chat, so she couldn't help but smile and tease.

"Hu, hu...wait a minute, listen to me, hu, hu, listen to what I have to say, you are more excited than me! Hu~~" An Yu, panting, pinched his waist and ran to Sheng Yuan, regulating his breathing while speaking intermittently.

Seeing that he was struggling to speak, Sheng Yuan held the knife and shook his head, "You need to improve your physical fitness. I haven't watched you do morning exercises for a while, so you've been lazy! As the saying goes, if you don't practice for one day, you'll know it yourself. If you don't practice for two days, your master will know it. If you don't practice for three days, everyone will know it! Humph, what do you think? I'm not lying, am I?!"

"Who said I don't do morning exercises? I run a horse every day!" When An Yu heard that Sheng Yuan despised his physical fitness, he immediately straightened his back and patted his chest to show that he had never been lazy.

"Horse racing? The horse is carrying you and running. It's the horse that's exercising, not you! That's why our horses are all very strong, but you can't run anymore!"

An Yu was stunned: "What else? If I can't let the horse carry me, should I run away on its back? Others run eagles, but I run away on my horse?! This doesn't make sense! Besides, I'm not just sitting on the horse, I'm also drawing my bow and arrow, my arms are strong!"

Speaking of arm strength, An Yu bent his arms and showed them off to Sheng Yuan: "This is the result of hard work that I have accumulated day after day!"

"Having strong arms is a good thing, but when it comes to the critical moment, you can't just run with your arms on the ground, right?!"

"I used..." An Yu was speechless. He couldn't understand why he was talking and it turned out that he was using his arms to run away!

"Okay! Okay! From tomorrow on, you will follow my pace of exercise!" Sheng Yuan saw that he looked very pitiful, so he waved his hand and stopped teasing him. "By the way, you just ran here excitedly, what on earth do you want to talk about?" When An Yu mentioned his recent discovery, he was no longer depressed, and his emotions were mobilized again. Seeing that no one was listening, he immediately leaned close to Sheng Yuan's ear and whispered to her: "Guess who I just met in the Shengguo Mansion?!"

"Who?" Sheng Yuan blinked, unable to understand whose appearance could make An Yu so excited.

"I knew you couldn't guess it!" An Yu excitedly took Sheng Yuan to sit at a nearby stone table and whispered, "Do you remember how your uncle arranged for Hai Anbo's Kuang family troops when he recruited her?"

"..." Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean... you saw the old people from the Kuang family army in the Shengguo Mansion?"

"Pa!" An Yu slapped his thigh, praising Sheng Yuan with an expression of "You are so smart", and whispered to Sheng Yuan, "That's right!"

"...I remember that after Hai Anbo accepted the amnesty, the late emperor did not completely disband her Kuang Family Army. In addition to reorganizing the lower-level soldiers who were assigned to the navy and the ocean-going trade army, and the middle-level personnel who were recruited to the instructor team, military academies, and local official schools as teachers, he not only left her a team of guards to protect the mansion, but also recruited those high-level personnel in Kyoto... Could it be that you saw her former confidant?"

"Otherwise, why do you say you are smart!" An Yu patted his thigh again, and this time he gave Sheng Yuan a thumbs up, "You are Hai Anbo's former right arm!"

"The left-hand man of the past?" Sheng Yuan only remembered that there was a very famous handsome man in white clothes in the Kuang family army that dominated an island. In addition to being known as the "Prime Minister of the Sea", this man also had a nickname "the commander's right arm".

However, since this young man was recruited, he has been actively participating in ocean exploration. It is said that after conquering several difficult countries, the pioneering group he led has become an important force in the maritime trade of Da Chu. Not only does he hold the title of consul of the diplomatic mission, he is also listed in the Censorate and became the "Governor-General of Patrol" personally appointed by the emperor, specifically responsible for inspecting overseas affairs.

"Hehe, Sister Yuan, just remember the good-looking ones!" Seeing that Sheng Yuan remembered a guy she had never met before so clearly, An Yu immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

"What you said is true. If I don't like good-looking people, how can I care about you so much? Is that right?!" Sheng Yuan gave him a serious look!

  Well, now that autumn is here, it’s only natural to bring out autumn spinach!

Although An Yu didn't know what autumn spinach was, Sheng Yuan's praise was so accurate that it made his ears red.

"Yeah, that's right!" He pretended to cough twice, as if he was ashamed of Sheng Yuan's praise, and then brought the topic back to the past. "The one you are talking about is Hai Anbo's right arm, but the one I saw today is his left arm, the strategist who was awarded the title of General Zhenyuan but fell off his horse and died shortly after entering the capital!"

"Ah?!" Sheng Yuan stood up suddenly!
