I don’t know if I heard the sound outside or felt something. After he finished breathing for more than a dozen breaths, there was indeed a sound of footsteps outside. Before Zhou Xia could react, the man had already cursed: “You dog slave, dare you stop me?”

"Auntie, please spare the young man! The master is in the study and does not let anyone get close. If you have something to do, what will you say when the master comes out later?"

The servant who was guarding the gate said respectfully but could not hear much fear, and his words were even more vague. However, the contemptuous aunt Ying flashed by her lowered head but did not see it.

Aunt Ying clenched her teeth. Even if she was a little arrogant, she was just talking. She didn't dare to break through after the servant said this.

Others said that Zhou Xia treated her very well and even did not hesitate to spoil her concubine and destroy her wife, but only she knew that this man's heart was cold and his blood was cold. He was just his tool, and he had no heart at all.

Seeing that the people outside were no longer moving, Zhou Xia put down the chess piece in his hand and said quietly: "It's not hopelessly stupid."

Ge Shiyuan chuckled. This was not the first time Zhou Xia had said to him so bluntly, but this was his family matter after all, and he was just a subordinate who was rescued by him in a downturn.

Some things are known but cannot be said clearly.

But although he wanted to stay out of the matter, Zhou Xia obviously didn't want him to be too leisurely and couldn't help but smile: "Sir, do you know how to break this situation?"

"Isn't the lord already as clear as a mirror? Do you still need to say more to his subordinates?"

How could it be fatal just a small stone? Even if Gu Ming was afraid of this, he was shocked, but what if he knew it? This was just a game. Retreat is defeat and advance.

"I know that my husband must not want to interfere with the intrigues in the back house. It's just that Chengye's child is always smart, so I have to consider him."

His eldest son is far away in the capital. Although he is not a cruel emperor today, who knows how he will treat these protons in the end? Since he has the intention of establishing a new mountain, he has the awareness of sacrificing this eldest son.

It was not that he had thought about cultivating his second son, but this child was addicted to poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was even more obsessed with Buddhism. How could he feel at ease with such a person? The youngest son was taken away by the "Wine Old Man". No one knew where he was taken. Even if he had the will, he was powerless.

Overall, only the eldest son of Shu won his heart the most. He is not a square person, but he is not a sinister person. The most important thing is that he was raised by himself since childhood. Whether it is his feelings or his thoughts on some things, both of them are very compatible.

People are selfish, and a slap is long and short, let alone a person's heart.

"Didn't the lord pave the way for him?"

How can a mere minor injury make Gu Mingsheng bow his head and willingly use it for Zhou Chengye? So the child must die, and Gu Jinhe must be guilty. Only in this way can the position of the ministry fall into Zhou Chengye's hands.

After all, his status and reputation in the army are not bad now.

No one expected that the Beicang Congress would attack the Great Zhou so quickly. According to Zhou Xia's original intention, he wanted Zhou Chengye to learn more with Gu Mingsheng, but now this idea is obviously no longer in line with the current background.

The world is about to be disrupted. Whoever controls military power will have the right to speak. Zhou Xia cannot predict the people's hearts and can only control the thing in his own hands to avoid the long night and dreams. Therefore, the Gu family should have such a disaster.

"Sir, you are as wise as a torch."

"But, the Yin of the State is from the Wang family, and the Wang family has always been incompatible with the second prince, so what happened this time is unknown."

After hearing how slow he said, Zhou Xia's face turned ugly. He didn't expect his daughter to be in trouble. Otherwise, Gu Mingsheng would have probably walked up to him and started negotiations at this time, so how could he go to the Zhouyin Mansion?

Although he was the governor of Qinzhou, the promotion and transfer of the imperial examinations of the Zhou Yin and the imperial examinations had to be approved by the court. Even the reason why Gu Mingsheng was promoted to the imperial examinations at a young age was quite related to the Ye family's status in the court.

"I heard that my wife once wanted to marry the Gu family?"

"Yes! It's a pity that Gu Mingsheng is also a fox. He promised his daughter early, so he gave up the matter."

He has always regarded Gu Mingsheng as his confidant, but the withdrawal of troops from Qinzhou has not given him a clear indication. The scholars taught by Confucian scholars always have a bit of integrity and aloofness, and he is afraid that Gu Mingsheng will be one of them.

"Although I have never dealt with him, I think I should not be a pedantic person, otherwise I would not have brought the Ye family members to Qinzhou."

Since the Ye family brought the people from Qinzhou, the responsibilities on him were heavier, so he would always be more careful when facing many choices.

"You're not unreasonable, but I always feel uneasy in my heart."

"I've changed the judgment now. Not to mention whether the people in the accompaniment will agree, the lord's thoughts will be known to many people."

“…”

Zhou Xia's face was slightly calmer and he looked at Ge Shiyuan's eyes with uncertainty. Ge Shiyuan's lips always had a smile, and the expression on his face seemed to have been measured without any change.

"Now the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired."

"So does the lord have the confidence to convince the Wang family?"

The Wang family is not a fool. Mrs. Wang in the back house has been very cautious about everything since Zhou Zidai's incident. If she can see that her eldest son has been given up, then she will inevitably cause a death-breaking incident.

So, his lord's heart was too anxious after all.

"No."

The Wang family is a native of Qinzhou, and there are many amazing people from generation to generation, so there is a kind of stubbornness that others cannot understand.

"Since that's the case, what about the lord and the lord who doesn't take a step back? Maybe take a step back and look at the scenery, and the scenery in this world is another picture."

Even if you want to pave the way for Zhou Chengye, it shouldn't be this time. The most important thing is that Gu Mingsheng is a good person. It would be a pity to destroy it like this.

"What sir said is very, I am narrow-minded."

Zhou Xia had already started thinking in his mind, looking at how to weigh the pros and cons, and finally he couldn't help but pursed the corners of his lips, as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing his instant calming down, Ge Shiyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Does the lord have a good idea in his heart?"

“Some things always have to be made.”
