Ximen Fusu explained: "Nvxia Zhou, don't underestimate this saint. The status of the saint in my Dayue is second only to the king!"
Zhou Nuo also explained: "I'm not looking down on you, I think you think too highly of me, Prince..."
"I fell in love with you brothers and sisters at first sight!!"
Ximen Fusu strikes while the iron is hot.
He had studied the Lingshan victory. Judging from the words in the message, Xiao Luofeng certainly took the most credit, but in fact the key to the victory was Zhou Nuo. Without her archery skills and her ability to quickly train archers, Lingshan would have lost the battle.
It’s hard to say what the battle will be like!
What's the point of giving it to a saint?
If Zhou Nuo can be lured to Dayue, Dayue will be able to train the strongest archers in the Western Region. By then, look at how those evil neighbors who covet Dayue Kingdom will become arrogant!
Ximen Fusu had made a plan in his mind, asking Zhou Chuan to be his bodyguard and Zhou Nuo to be his general. As long as the two brothers and sisters are willing, they can pay any price!
Zhou Chuan didn't want Ximen Fusu to feel that there was hope and end up being happy in vain, causing a situation of 'hate out of love', so he said bluntly: "The prince may not know me very well, I am just a person who is used to being undisciplined."
, I’m happy that you treat me as a friend, but there’s no need to go to Otsuki.”
"Then your sister..."
"Of course my sister will follow me."
Ximen Fusu choked for a moment, but his expression quickly relaxed, and he still smiled and said: "Okay! Everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force it, but I also ask Brother Zhou to remember what I said today, it will be permanent! You can come again next time
When you travel to Da Yue Kingdom, I will definitely treat you warmly!"
Ximen Fusu had a sense of proportion, knew how to advance and retreat, and did not struggle bitterly. He just planted a seed first.
Zhou Chuan clasped his fists at Ximen Fusu, looked at his leaving back and said, "It's better to wander around the world. Although he is a prince and was born into a noble family, he actually has too many worries in his heart."
Zhou Nuo smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to be a saint in this life."
"Are you tempted?"
"I am already a member of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Well..." Zhou Chuan nodded silently, knowing that his sister had sincerely promised to be Zhao Huan's daughter-in-law.
He was also happy for his sister.
When my sister marries into the Zhao family, she and her benefactor will become one family from now on, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of my benefactor.
After my sister has a child, it will be logical for her to stay in the Zhao family and live a good life, and she will no longer have to follow him around the world.
This is what you want, this is what you want.
The only fly in the ointment is that there seem to be more women around my future brother-in-law...
"Brother Zhou Chuan, sister Zhou Nuo."
When Zhou Chuan was thinking about this, Wen Hu came from behind him.
Because of their meeting outside Yongshou Palace in the morning, Wenhu called them brother and sister more affectionately.
Brother and sister Zhou Chuan also clasped their fists at Wen Hu and said, "Uncle Shaxian!"
Wen Hu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have said it before, you are from the world, you don't need to be distinguished by your title, just call me Brother Wen if you think you can!"
"But this is a palace, not a world." Zhou Nuo controlled her emotions and tried hard not to let Wen Hu see her disgust.
You, Wenhu, are my benefactor’s enemy. It’s hard enough just to pretend to talk to you, and you want me to call you Brother Wen. You want nothing more than to take advantage of me!
Zhou Chuan knew what his sister was thinking, so he deliberately took a step towards Wenhu to block Zhou Nuo behind him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Laosha County has helped me with this morning. I'll give you a toast."
Seeing that the brother and sister did not change their words, Wen Hu no longer hesitated. After drinking a glass of wine, he said: "Are you annoyed by these people just now? But I deliberately called your brother and sister's names this morning just to let others know that we know each other. Such a small talk
I won’t bother you anymore, otherwise there will be more people coming to you. The people who came to you just now are all powerful people, so what, are you interested in them?"
Zhou Chuan said calmly: "If I really have a crush on you, Uncle Shaxian will be very disappointed, right?"
"Very good, it is the straightforwardness of Jianghu people to be straightforward!" Wen Hu also took a step towards Zhou Chuan and said: "Maoshan Sect is thirsty for talents and is very much looking forward to your brothers and sisters joining."
Feeling that Zhou Nuo moved a little, as if he wanted to speak, Zhou Chuan quickly touched her with his foot and said first, "We brothers and sisters don't intend to depend on anyone."
Wenhu smiled disapprovingly and said: "If you really just want to be a pure Jianghu person, how can you come to the palace to attend the state banquet? Mingren doesn't tell secrets in front of you. You should know that the Mushan Sect was founded by the left prime minister.
, the backer behind it is the Zuoxiangfu, if you want to choose a partner, no one here is tougher and more promising than the Mushan faction!"
"Brother Zhou Chuan refused so decisively. Could it be that he already has a boss?"
"Could it be that... you are working for Zhao Cheng?"
Zhou Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Zhao Cheng? Not very familiar with him."
Wen Hu smiled and said: "Before and after the Battle of Lingshan, someone saw Zhao Cheng at the foot of Lingshan, so this is just a guess. But I want to remind you that Zhao Cheng is an eloquent person, and his mouth is indeed very good.
He is deceptive, but he is actually a cynical playboy. Although he is rich, there will not be much of a future with him."
"Moreover..." Wen Hu lowered his voice and said, "Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knows that His Majesty is very wary of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. If you are on the wrong team, if something happens in the future, I am afraid it will affect Chi Yu."
Zhou Chuan clasped his fists at Wen Hu and said, "I have written down what Uncle Shaxian said, but we are really not familiar with Zhao Cheng, so we only said a few words during the toast today."
"What did you say?" Wen Hu asked.
Zhou Nuo finally couldn't help but interjected: "Do I have to tell you this too?"
Wen Hu said: "I'm just asking, you don't have to tell me."
"Xiao Nuo, don't be rude to Uncle Shaxian."
Zhou Chuan stopped Zhou Nuo and continued: "I praise the young prime minister as the evil star of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. He can destroy the Southern Zhou spy network and is a man of real ability. The young prime minister also praises us brothers and sisters as knights of the rivers and lakes, who stopped the sheep."
Qingzhi's conspiracy is the great benefactor of the Thirteen Cities of Jingdong."
"this one?"
"Then the young prime minister asked me to go to a brothel after the state banquet. I told the young prime minister that it was not convenient for me. The young prime minister asked me when it was convenient for me to go. I said it was not convenient for me to go to the brothel at any time, and then... it was gone.
."
Wen Hu smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "You are fine."
With that said, Wen Hu turned around and left, turning his back to Zhou Chuan and waving his hand.
Seeing the Wenhu return to the capital area, Zhou Nuo looked at Zhou Chuan in surprise and said, "Brother, when did you let your lies slip away so easily?"
Zhou Chuan sighed and said: "Who asked me to have a brother-in-law who lies so much? I don't know what's wrong with him. He just opens his mouth and speaks smoothly."
…
The second day.
In front of Yongshou Palace, nearly five thousand chairs were filled to capacity. The morning air was no longer fresh and pure, but filled with the strong smell of alcohol.
The emperor has a strict order. During the state banquet, anyone who has a seat can leave if they can't drink at night, but no one can be left out during the day. After all, the program is different every day, and the people who are eligible to come in are also different every day. Dajing officials have to
Have the spirit of 'dedication to duty'!
This resulted in some people who drank very late last night and still haven't woken up. Some people who slept in Yongshou Palace did not need to wash or bathe. They walked out and continued drinking. The smell of their bodies mixed with the smell of alcohol.
Together, we will make this state banquet special and delicious.
The state banquet started again with singing, dancing, eating and drinking. After the first round of warm-up drinks, Emperor Yuan Xiu appeared.
Zhou Jinghuan seemed to be waiting for help. As soon as he saw Yuan Xiu, he ran over and said loudly: "Emperor Jing! On behalf of Southern Zhou Dynasty, I propose a marriage alliance with Jingguo. Please marry the eldest princess of Jingguo to my prince Nanzhou!!"
Yuan Xiu came out with a bright smile on his face, but before he sat down on the dragon chair, his face immediately darkened.
The officials were also confused, wondering what Zhou Jinghuan wanted to do this time?
After everything happened like that yesterday, can't we wait until after the state banquet to discuss this matter?
Do you have to make everyone unhappy at the state banquet?
Just when the hard-line officials were organizing a scolding war against Zhou Jinghuan, a voice suddenly came over first.
"Your Majesty, this is a huge happy event! The eldest princess has to get married, she has to get married!!"
Everyone looked at the person who was speaking, thinking who was ignorant and talking nonsense. When they saw this person clearly, they were all stunned and their jaws dropped to the floor!
