Chapter 750: Prime Minister Bei

The carriage soon arrived at the palace.

Old Master Nan looked at the decoration and knew very well that he would definitely be facing some criticism for not attending the banquet. He had the excuse of his leg wounded and thus unable to come.

Though, it was very likely that some people wouldn't trust him so easily.

Nan Hua alighted and had already changed her composure. From that of a meek young lady to that of a shadow assassin who had already been tempered countless times in the battlefield.

Seeing how much the impression about Nan Hua changed, Old Master Nan was speechless. He had the feeling that his granddaughter could definitely win if there was an actress' award. She was even better than many of those annoying women he had met in his life.

Old Master Nan looked forward and his mood instantly turned downcast when he saw the person who walked not far from them. He sighed internally but still cupped his fist to greet the other party.

"Prime Minister Bei."

"Great General Nan." Prime Minister Bei stopped in his track. His eyes showed unconcealed surprise and interest. Prime Minister Bei was a middle aged man and looked slightly plump. However, the word authority could be seen from him. Not to mention, his mere presence caused quite the pressure to the people around him.

He looked the same as Nan Hua remembered him. He had long moustache and beard that was trimmed carefully. From the way he walked and acted, he looked quite nonchalant and rather easygoing.

It seemed as if everything was always well for him.

"I didn't expect to see you in the palace today," Old Master Nan said with a smile that didn't look like smile.

Prime Minister Bei laughed lightly. "As the Prime Minister, I have a lot of work. The other officials might be having holiday because of His Majesty's kindness, but I still have to come and report some urgent matter to him."

"I see."

Old Master Nan was really not interested in having any sort of conversation with this prime minister. He didn't like those people who dabbled in politics because in his eyes, they were all very annoying.

These kind of people were saying one thing but meant another thing.

It was infuriating.

Prime Minister Bei was still smiling. It was then he noticed the small kid behind Old Master Nan who was wearing silver. Since he was the Prime Minister, he naturally had heard about the achievement this small kid did at the battlefield just a few months prior.

His interest was instantly piqued.

"Is this Nan, Young Commander Nan's adjutant?" Prime Minister Bei asked curiously.

Old Master Nan was instantly wary. However, he still kept his composure and only looked at Prime Minister Bei with doubled the wariness he had before. "Yes, this is Nan. I brought him here because His Majesty request for me to bring him here when I paid a visit."

"I see." Prime Minister Bei looked at the young kid in front of him.

Nan Hua also raised her head and looked straight at Prime Minister Bei. There was no trace of fear or hesitation within her eyes. All one could see was the eyes of a warrior who had already participated in countless battles.

Sharp eyes filled with strong determination.

"You have good subordinate, Great General Nan."

Old Master Nan smiled. "If there's nothing else, I would like to go first, Prime Minister Bei. I can't possibly let His Majesty wait for long."

"Indeed. I wouldn't take more of your time, Great General Nan."

Prime Minister Bei cupped his fist and tactfully made way. His action clearly showed that he knew etiquette very well. No one would be able to guess that just three decades ago, he was nothing more than a lowly merchant who had to work hard in order to eat his fill.

He made his way up with money.

Nan Hua naturally would not be impolite and stare at Prime Minister Bei. She followed her grandfather into the main hall.

As they climbed the stairs, Old Master Nan spoke, "There's no need to interact more with him. He's not someone you can interact peacefully without feeling oppressed."

"He's a cunning merchant."

"Yes, you're right."

Old Master Nan sighed as he thought about how much Emperor Yang Zhou hated merchant just because of this Prime Minister Bei. After all, it was all thanks to money that Prime Minister Bei could reach his current position.

Based on his previous status and qualification, he could never enter the palace in his entire life.

Nan Hua didn't say anything and followed Old Master Nan into the door.

"Great General Nan and Adjutant Nan is here."

The door opened and the two of them walked inside. Actually, it was still holiday for the officials, which was why the main hall was empty. But when Emperor Yang Zhou heard that Old Master Nan had arrived at the Capital City, he directly summoned the other party.

Looking at the now empty hall, Nan Hua felt that this place was big. The only time she had come here in the past was during the reward ceremony as Adjutant Nan. At that time, this place was packed to the brim with officials and countless powerful soldiers.

There was no chance for her to fully look at this grand place.

Her low position didn't exactly allow her to do so.

Before that, she did infiltrate the palace, but she didn't exactly enter this main hall. The first time, she stopped at the side corridor and didn't enter. The second time, the target was the inner palace, so she didn't enter this main hall.

But now, she could look more closely to this place.

Gilded in both gold and exquisite decoration, it represented the status of an Emperor very well. At the same time, it was not too excessive. It fully represented the status and looked rather elegant rather than wasteful.

"Great General Nan greets His Majesty."
