It was already very late when Hua Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion, and the sound of the girls' play had already ended. The night was as quiet as water.

Due to some "historical legacy", although Zi Yan's room had been moved to the inner courtyard long ago, it still did not leave the junction between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard.

If Hua Chen’s route back to the inner courtyard is not like a "male blade" who climbs over the wall, then he can only pass through Zi Yan’s small courtyard.

Standing outside the courtyard for a long time, Hua Chen still didn't think clearly about how to deal with the relationship with Zi Yan. In fact, because of Yi Lan, the reasons used to reject Zi Yan no longer exist. So what should I do?

"Why did you come back? Have you eaten?" Zi Yan walked out of the courtyard without any concealment. She knew that the body movements she learned with the Yue Girl would not work on this man.

Hua Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his arms exaggeratedly, and said helplessly: "Why, you, the big boss, are allowed to run around, and we little people are not allowed to engage in the tertiary industry?" Anyway, it was dark, and he couldn't even see Zi Yan's increasingly plump figure on the other side, let alone what Zi Yan could see.

"Puff~ Okay, OK, you're poor." Zi Yanyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "By the way, you haven't told me if you have eaten yet. If I don't eat, I'll call you~"

Hua Chen nodded and said, "I have eaten it, I ate it with Xiaozhi." Originally, Hua Chen had no need to explain to Zi Yan that he ate it with Xiaozhi, but he was a little stunned, so he said a little more.

Hua Chen was still a little uncomfortable with Zi Yan asking such a common question. A long time ago, the one who asked herself this was her mother. Later, Zi Yu, and even the current Yue Girl, Yi Lan and even Yi Guang appeared. But Miss Zi Yan seemed that no matter how her personality changed, she would not say such words to her, right?

"Oh, that~" Zi Yan's little head was running urgently, but she couldn't think of what to say, so she could only say unwillingly: "Okay, I'll go back first, good night."

"Good night." Hua Chen was really amused by Zi Yan. At this time, he didn't believe that Zi Yan was still strolling outside for a leisure time, but he didn't believe it if he was beaten to death.

It was obvious that she was waiting for someone, but after asking a few questions, she left first. This kind of thing was only possible for Miss Ji Sun a long time ago, right? But then again, Zi Yan seemed to have suddenly become the same as the former one.

In fact, except for Zi Yan who has been paced in the yard waiting for Hua Chen to return, both Yi Lan, who wants to "go to bed early and get up early" for the baby, or Yue girls who are used to fixed schedules, have fallen asleep.

Of course, Yi Guang, who has been instilled by Hua Chen many times, "Beauties come to sleep. Even if you are so beautiful, you still have to go to bed early." Not to mention Yi Guang, who has long held Zheng Dan, who acted as a "doll", was sleeping soundly.

Perhaps this is exactly the same as the saying "What you can't get is always a riot." Didn't Zi Yan say that she can't get it, at least she hasn't got it yet, right?

The nights in Gusu are beautiful. If you stand high enough and look at the sea not far from the east, you can present the beauty of "water and sky are the same color", extending southward, with infinite night colors.

At the southernmost end that can be reached in the Wu Kingdom at night, two fast horses drove into Zhoucheng at dawn and when the city gate opened, the two were Shi Ming and Liu Yu.

Compared with Yan Ze and Fan Xin who went to Wancheng and the rest of the troops, Shi Ming and Liu Yu were the happiest, because their purpose of coming to Zhoucheng was very clear, which was to find the general Shao Zheng. If you can't find it in Zhoucheng, you will go directly to Ningcheng. Anyway, it's just two words: "Look for him!"

In the lord's mansion in Zhoucheng City, Shao Zheng held the final agreement from the Prince of Yue Goujian in his forehand. Since both Shao Zheng himself and Goujian opposite were fully instructed by the king, now facing this seal of Yue with the seal of Yue stamped by Goujian, as long as Shao Zheng felt that it was OK, the dispute over the borders of Wu and Yue and the ownership of the fertile land of hundreds of miles will be settled.

After reading the whole bamboo slips from beginning to end, Shao Zhengye finally took out the seal that Qingji had given him temporarily to keep, and stamped the two identical bamboo slips on the lower left side of the table in front of him.

After putting away one of the bamboo slips, Shao Zheng gave the other bamboo slips to the soldiers who had been waiting in front of him, and then said, "I have agreed to the Jin suggestion made by Mr. Goujian on behalf of the State of Wu. You can take this bamboo slip back and hand it over to Mr. Goujian, and send me a message to him.

Tell Mr. Goujian that no one suffered any losses in this matter and no one made any profit. Therefore, I hope that the confrontation over the past six months will not affect the relationship between the two countries."

The soldier in the Vietnamese uniform said respectfully: "Yes, the young one understands, and the youngest one must convey the words of the general to Mr. Goujian."

"Okay, you go down. If there is anything else to do in Zhoucheng, just talk directly."

"Report to the general, the young man is fine, the young man is leaving." The Yue soldier selected by Goujian was tactful and understood the warnings from Shao Zheng's words, and also showed that he would not stay in Zhoucheng secretly and would leave immediately.

After Goujian sent the soldiers to send the "final resolution" away, Shao Zhengye also stood up and walked out of the main hall of the city lord's mansion. He was not trying to send the tactful soldier, but the matter on the southern border was finally resolved. He wanted to find a spacious place to stretch his body that had not been vigorously exercised for a long time.

"Report!" Just as Shao Zhengye came outside the main hall and opened his arms to embrace the spring morning sun, the messenger outside the city lord's mansion ran in out of time.

Shao Zhengye tidied up his clothes and asked calmly, "What's the matter?" Shao Zhengye is still relatively rational in such disturbed things. He will not inexplicably spread his anger to his subordinates like some people with high positions and power.

The message soldier knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Report to the General, there are two men outside the mansion who claim to be sent by the Prince, who want to see the General."

"The person sent by the young master?" Shao Zheng was stunned at first, and then said to the messenger: "Take them in, just come to my place directly, don't pass by others, do you understand?"

"Yes, my subordinates understand." The messenger stood up and left after responding to the words of Shao Zheng.

Shao Zheng was too lazy to think about whether these two people were sent by Hua Chen. Anyway, they would bring people to him in a while. If they were sent by Hua Chen, there would definitely be evidence, and even if the person they came, they would not know him. If it was sent by Hua Chen, it would be even easier. Just take it down and it would be done.

After a while, Liu Yu and Shi Ming quickly walked into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion under the guidance of the messenger.

When they saw the man sitting in the main seat, the two saluted together and said, "See General."

"Are you up?" Shao Zhengye waved his hand and said, "Young Master sends you here, is there anything important?"

"Puff~" Liu Yu was better, but Shi Ming almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Shao Zheng asked expressionlessly: "Why are you laughing at?"

"Reporting to the general, his subordinates were not laughing at anyone, but they were just sighing at the young master's speculation." As he said, Shi Ming presented the bamboo slips written by Hua Chen with the letter stamped by the young master to Shao Zheng's face and said, "Young Master said that after we see you, you will definitely ask us what we are doing first, instead of determining our identity first."

Shao Zhengye reached out to take the bamboo slip and looked at it for a few times, and smiled helplessly: Can this Hua Chen be a little more boring? It's like a child.

In the letter, Hua Chen had already explained the purpose of sending Liu Yu and Shi Ming. One was to collect some clues, and the other was to report a letter to Shao Zheng. After all, in Zhoucheng and Ningcheng, the troops that Shao Zheng could mobilize is now a huge number.

After leaving the left and right, Shao Zheng looked carefully at the letter again, then looked up at Liu Yu and Shi Ming and said, "So, the young master sent you to find out the old story of Duanmu?"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "It's not all. According to the information we have, Duanmu family has probably built private troops in Zhoucheng. We will find out this point soon. If the situation is true, according to the prince's intention, let the general take action directly and completely control the Duanmu lineage of Zhoucheng, and do not leak any rumors."

Shao Zheng's brow frowned slightly, and a sense of pressure unconsciously emanated from his body, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to be 'nine out of ten'. I just need 'has' or 'not'. Do you understand?"

Shi Ming said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "We naturally know this point, but we two arrived in Zhoucheng early this morning, thinking of meeting the general first. The specific situation is that we will come to report to the general tomorrow, and the general will decide the time."

"Okay." Shao Zheng nodded and said, "If you have any inconvenience in Zhoucheng or need manpower, you can tell me directly that according to what the young master said, you can't delay here."

Liu Yu bowed slightly, but said confidently and calmly: "Don't worry about this, General. I plan freely. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely inform the General of "having" or "not."

Seeing Liu Yu and Shi Ming's orderliness after seeing him and the strong confidence he had shown just now, Shao Zheng couldn't help but think of something, and then smiled and said, "The swordsman had already passed Tiancan's terrifying hard power. Now, when you see that the young master can let you perform tasks with confidence, it seems that the quicksand has truly taken shape."

"Freshsha?" After hearing Shao Zheng's words, Liu Yu and Shi Ming's faces showed a hint of surprise for the first time. Obviously, they didn't expect Shao Zheng to know the name Liusha.

The subtle changes in the expressions of the two of them naturally did not escape Shao Zheng's eyes. Knowing what they were thinking, Shao Zheng's smiled and said, "To be honest, I am one of the founders of Quicksand, although I haven't put in much effort."
