Meng Yunzheng sighed, "Qi Lie has already gone to the southwest. You know, the environment there is complex, and the power dynamics are also intricate. The Emperor wants me to go to the southwest to dismantle the last black market. I have a mutual understanding with Qi Lie, and we both participated in the destruction of the Changjin Prefecture black market. Plus, I lived in the southwest for over half a year, so no one is more suitable than me."
Shu Yu frowned, "Is this the condition the Emperor set for you to go home and open an academy?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled, "It's not a condition. To speak earnestly, the black market is also a major hidden danger for us. Although not many people know, you're aware that the Second Prince and I are related by blood. Now he's trapped, and his subordinates are busy trying to save him, leaving them with no time to deal with me. If one day he gets out of trouble, the first person he would want to settle scores with would probably be me."
