Eternal Painter Swordsman
45. Plan

"Yes, Dad knew Ming Yue but was not close.

When at that time, he was a very small child at most only reaching my waist but had already dashed into the battlefield and seen a lot of killing. " Said Huang Lixin reminiscing about the past.

"At that time, I was about 30 years old and went with your grandfather to see the battlefield together with Old Ming General who was about my age. Old General Ming grew up with me in the Imperial Academy even our house used to be side by side, just not expecting that there would be a surprise attack from one of the Soldiers who betrayed and shot a poisoned arrow at me, I was unable to dodge and yes, Old Ming General used his body to protect me. From then on, he became ill and one year later, he died of illness. I wanted to help her financially but General Nie was an independent woman, she refused unequivocally and said that her husband protected me because it was his duty and because I was his friend, he said, I don't have to feel like I owe them. At this moment, even General Nie was long gone. "Murm Huang Lixin with a sigh.

Huang Xinxin had never heard of the Mother of Ming Yue as it turned out that her mother was also a General, imagining how intrepid her pair had put up their bodies as shields for His Majesty.

It was only fitting that the Emperor at this moment was afraid of Ming Yue, among the officials there must be many Ming Family supporters waiting for him when he was weak.

The might of the Ming Family had taught deep into the Empire, naturally making the Emperor restless even if Ming Yue had no such intention.

"Then , then this is a good time to return the favor. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"You're right, this is a good time to return the favor to her. " Reply Huang Lixin.

"Even if he is older than you, but given your real age, your age is not too far away. If I'm not mistaken then this year he's already at the age of 25, some say that he loves the long-dead young Miss Wang. "Chap Huang Lixin.

"That's true, I helped him solve Miss Wang's previous death case. " Reply Huang Xinxin.

"You helped him ? Doesn't that mean you know him too ? Why at the time in the Palace did he look so stiff with you ?" Ask Huang Lixin.

"For some reason it would be better if I stayed away from him. " Huang Xinxin replied for no clearer reason.

"Well if you say it like that, I won't force it. It's just that, his nature was indeed strange, it was all due to lack of affection. Both of his parents were busy to go to the battlefield and they had a stubborn nature, it was definitely not easy to grow up in such a family. If you can, then try to be his first friend. " Reply Huang Lixin.

"Well, I'll try. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"So, do you have any plans for the future ? Related to Mount Kunlun ?" Huang Lixin asked turning the topic over.

"Dad, I didn't save on expenses just because some things were light. " Huang Xinxin said calmly.

He had been waiting for a moment like this from a very long time until he felt bored to wait for this time to come to him.

Huang Xinxin looked at her father and took something out of his sleeves and it was a book.

"This is the result of the salt mine I ordered. I've been working hard lately. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"Not really. " Say Huang Lixin.

"From this, not only add income but also give a positive impact to our Family if we provide support then it will definitely add a good image. Then, during this time I cut our expenses from 255,000 Gold Coins per month just for the needs of the house instead of clothes or jewelry to 150,000 Gold Coins. So, I estimate that our savings are 235,000 gold. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"Only with this money will it not be enough, Father will sell one of the figures in the suburbs. " Say Huang Lixin.

It is seen that there has been collected almost 1 million Gold results from him painting.

"How can you get this much money ? Even Dad to earn this money had to sell three shops. " Huang Lixin said with admiration.

Huang Lixin's shop had more than 125 branches, not only in the Jiu Empire but also in the surrounding Kingdom of the other also knew Huang Lixin, deservedly he was dubbed as a richest man.

"I got it painting, for the details you better not know because it's a secret. " Canda Huang Xinxin's.

"Well if it's a secret, now there's no problem anymore. At this time we should meet with this merchant from Kunlun Mountain. "Chap Huang Lixin.

"No, if it counts the time then there should be plenty of time until Ming Yue is cornered, it should be at least a week and I want to meet the leader of Kunlun Mountain while Father takes care of the warm clothes and tents, he said, I'll go there alone. " Reply Huang Xinxin.

"It's very dangerous to go there alone especially you're a girl. " Huang Lixin said with worry.

"Don't forget, I've learned how to make talismans, as long as I train harder then it shouldn't cause any problems. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"Right, you are talented in the field of talismans is also one of the wonders. That might indeed be your extraordinary painting ability. " Reply Huang Lixin.

In the end they split the tasks and they would start moving on the second day of the day in order to give Huang Xinxin time to learn more talismans.

During that time, Huang Lixin quietly contacted many of his old colleagues to get a large network of surrounding merchants.

It could be considered as one of his efforts to protect Huang Xinxin, although he already knew that it was not his daughter but it was truly similar to his own daughter.

At this moment they complement each other, it is not too bad to carry on with this role. Huang Lixin easily gained relationships with many tailors, as long as over 100 tailors had been contacted and with the money flowing then of course they instantly fulfilled his wishes.

While on the other hand, Ming Yue had just returned from the battlefield with a hand that was bleeding from a sword slash wound.

"You're really reckless for advancing without warning !" Yue Zhang complained in annoyance and cleared Ming Yue's wound.

"We have to win this fight immediately, we can't delay any more. " Say Ming Yue with a flat face.

"Calm down, we'll think of a better way. Somehow, the Barbarian Tribe is supported by sufficient food supplies while we are not. We can only survive for 8 days after the rations are cut to twice a day. " Reply Yue Zhang.

"How cruel is His Majesty, he even treats us all as worthless while we bring this glory to him. " Add Yue Zhang with a smile.

"Don't say anything careless in this kind of place. " Ming Yue warned with a cold look.

"You're not unaware of the Emperor's jealousy" Yue Zhang's remark was cut off by Ming Yue's gaze.
