Zuo Zhou was sitting on a tall horse wearing a general's uniform sewn by Jiang Yuyan himself. To be honest, he did not expect that the people in the imperial capital would be so enthusiastic.
It seems like you didn’t do anything, right?
"Boy, tell me truthfully, when you decided to go to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, did you just want to kill Song Huizong?" Zhou Tong walked a few steps quickly and came to Zuo Zhou's horse, his face looked weird.
Extremely.
Zuo Zhou yawned, "Yes, it has been planned for a long time. In fact, I mainly want to kill a few top masters to establish my authority, and kill a few monsters and dragons at the same time. Well, Song Huizong's death was just a by-passing incident."
hand."
Zhou Tong's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly realized that his question was a bit silly, but he just slipped around in the crowd, and the people were praising the general's bravery and the new emperor Hu Hai's ability to predict the enemy...
So...is this Hu Hai showing off?
Well, this operation did not exceed Zuo Zhou's expectations. He originally took on the reputation of killing Song Huizong just to make Li Xunhuan less embarrassed. As for whether Hu Hai took the opportunity to gain some credit and reputation, it doesn't matter. After all, what kind of job do you do?
What kind of honor can you get without mentioning the merits of your superiors?
Don't mention it? You little comrade can't do anything!
"General Li, I will go back to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit first. Do you... want to go with me?"
The team entering the city had a small incident at a crossroads. Logically speaking, the envoys should enter the palace as soon as possible when they return to the country to meet the Holy Spirit, but Zhan Zhao knew that the master in front of him, who did not serve anyone, would
No one can give Hu Hai face. It was like this before, but now his status is different. When news of Zuo Zhou's achievements came back, some ministers in the court who had complaints also shut up.
Zuo Zhou turned to look at Zhan Zhao, feeling a little helpless. If there was a possibility for them to become friends before, now they have completely eliminated the possibility. This is not a problem between the two of them, the world is changing too fast.
It's like your good brother suddenly became rich and became the country's leading businessman or official. So whenever you care about the friendship at all, you shouldn't just think about borrowing money, but with a blessing.
A little distance will fulfill the majesty of good brothers and the pure friendship!
Zuo Zhou and Zhan Zhao are at best better friends, closer to Zhan Shiqi, but they are far from good brothers, and they will never have a chance in the future.
"I'll go home first. You go into the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. After settling some common matters, I will go to see His Majesty myself tomorrow night."
Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and said goodbye. At this point, the envoy was completely disbanded. It was divided into three groups along the intersection. Zuo Zhou took Zhou Tong, Nie Feng and others back home, while Zhan Hongling took Song Ciqiao Feng and others back home.
Bao Zheng, as for Zhan Zhaoze and Cao Zhengchun, they went to the palace. They were going to report all the ins and outs of this journey to Hu Hai. Of course, it was only limited to what they knew. As for the game of the Earth Ranking and even the Renbang Grandmaster level,
It's just not something they can figure out.
Song Ci had nothing to say. As soon as Zuo Zhou turned the corner, he saw a pink skirt on the roof, and the smile on his face was very comforting. Hey, she even blew a kiss to us!
Zuo Zhou responded with a very rude blowing kiss. Look, our dear senior sister is so enthusiastic!
Wanwan was standing on a certain roof wearing a pink dress, her face was flushed, she felt uncontrollable joy when looking at Zuo Zhou, and then she reached out and pointed in another direction.
Zuo Zhou looked over and saw a dignified and beautiful woman in a purple dress. Well, this was actually a bit beyond Zuo Zhou's expectation. After all, he had never thought that Zhu Yuyan would be associated with the word 'dignified' before.
Together.
It is said that my mother has come to greet me, although the greeting is not so obvious, why hasn’t the old man come out yet?
Zuo Zhou snorted unhappily, "Old man Zuo is still stable. He should probably set up a show in his yard at this time, waiting for him to kneel down at a wide angle like in the TV series, and then hug his thighs with tears in his eyes, affectionate and
Choking with sobs, he said, 'Father, the child is unfilial and is back!'
"Hey! Ah Xiang and Qing Ping followed the old man's bad example and didn't even come out to greet me."
Zhan Shiqi rolled his eyes, why are you so awkward!
The group of people passed by Dali Temple soon. Speaking of Zuozhou's residence and Dali Temple, it was understandable that Lao Di didn't go out to see him. After all, he was an official. He had never seen Hu Hai in Zuozhou, or
He said that before Zhan Zhao had met Hu Hai, it was not suitable for him to meet Zuo Zhou first.
So Zuo Zhou didn't stop in front of Dali Temple. In fact, before entering the city, he had already calculated the reactions of all parties to 80-90%, but there were still some things he hadn't calculated, such as... this is my home?
Zuo Zhou looked up at the rather luxurious door. There were two guards standing on both sides looking at it.
These guards were very discerning. They came to help Zuo Zhou lead the horse and placed a footstool beside the horse. When Zuo Zhou stepped on the footstool, he suddenly felt like a nobleman.
He asked casually: "When was the mansion expanded?"
"Back to General, after the news that you killed Song Huizong came back, Your Majesty decided to build this General's Mansion on the original basis."
"That's less than a month. Well, it's pretty fast." Zuo Zhou said amused.
The servant continued: "Ninety percent of the mansion has been completely completed. There is still a small part under construction, but it is expected to be completed within a few days."
Zuo Zhou pondered for a moment, "Who spent the money?"
This sentence confused the servant. He had memorized all the answers to the general's possible questions in advance, but this question still caught him off guard.
After being dazed for a while, he said: "This... is the money allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"Who paid for the servants to care for the hospital?"
"Ah..." The servant guarding the door was finally stumped. Their wages were indeed requested by Mrs. Ximen, but they really didn't know where she got the money.
"Okay, don't make things difficult for me."
A voice that was suppressing a smile came, and Zuo Zhou's heart moved. She smiled so brightly under the sun.
Zuo Zhou coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back and acted like the head of the family, "Why didn't you see Axiang come out to greet you?"
Qingping suppressed her laughter, but couldn't help running up and throwing herself into her arms. There was no princess in the public, "I miss you!" She rubbed her little face in Zuo Zhou's arms and poked out one of her eyes.
He winked at Zhan Shiqi next to him.
Zuo Zhou took advantage of the situation and hugged her, stretched out his hand and slapped his butt dishonestly, "Has there been any change at home?"
Qingping stood up and walked inside with Zuo Zhou. She said with a smile: "Perhaps our family has changed the most in the entire imperial capital."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Zuo Zhou frowned in confusion, and then he discovered that there were many scholars standing scattered in the huge front yard.
The reason why they are called scholars is because these people are both men and women, but most of them wear scholar's robes. When they saw Zuo Zhou, they all clasped their fists in a distance and saluted, which made Zuo Zhou's expression become more and more weird.
"What do you mean? Where do these idle people come from?"
Everyone behind Zuo Zhou was also surprised. They were all masters and could sense each other. Although these people may not be very good at martial arts, they all have a special temperament.
Qingping suppressed her laughter and forced a serious look, "Of course I admire my father's reputation, so I humbly ask to see him!"
Zuo Zhou drooped his eyelids and rubbed his temples helplessly, "Very good. He thought his father had a secret at the beginning, but he didn't find anything in his nearly twenty years of life and didn't care anymore. Now it seems...
...Humph, you also said that you are uneducated, why did you give me an unattractive name like 'Zuo Zhou', and also gave me the nickname 'Camel', what? Just to make a living, you are so lazy!"
Qingping snorted and couldn't hold it in any longer, laughing and saying: "I knew you were like this, hahaha, those Confucian disciples flattered you by saying that your name is a return to nature!"
Zuo Zhou hugged Qingping over and pinched her chest in front of everyone, instantly making Qingping honest, "If anyone asks me about the meaning of this name in the future, just tell them, Xuehai Wu
You have to work hard to make a boat!"
"Well said, you are worthy of being a descendant of the Zuo family!"
A man walked towards me. He was wearing a green robe and a sword hanging from his waist. He had a refined temperament and looked vaguely familiar.
Zuo Zhou thought for a long time and finally recalled, "Oh, I remember you. I seemed to have seen you on the road just after I took the envoy from the imperial capital."
"Junior Zhang Liang has met the general. I originally thought that the descendants of the Zuo family had given up Confucianism by joining the army, but I didn't expect the general to have such literary talent..."
Zuo Zhou waved his hand to interrupt, "No need to be polite, it's mainly used to deceive you Confucian people, huh? You don't seem to be a Confucian person, right?"
Zhang Liang smiled, clasped his fists again and said: "When I learned that the descendants of the Zuo family were in the capital of the Qin Dynasty, I naturally wanted to pay them a visit. It has nothing to do with whether I am a member of the Confucian sect or not."
…
Outside the General's Mansion, Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan watched from a distance as Zuo Zhou walked inside, while Wanwan approached cautiously.
"Master, did you really choose Uncle Zuo randomly because you wanted to make up for your mental injuries?"
Zhu Yuyan didn't even turn her head, her eyes still fell on Zuo Zhou in the distance, and said calmly: "What do you think?"
"I don't believe it!" Wanwan shook her head and said with a smile: "I haven't heard that Shi Zhixuan took refuge in Cihang Jingzhai. Didn't he make up for his spiritual flaws? It is said that he is still a great master in the list of people!"
Zhu Yuyan sighed: "You have also practiced the Heavenly Demon Dharma. I remember that my teacher never told you to practice yourself and then achieve a spiritual state of no desire and no pursuit!"
Wanwan looked like she had known this for a long time, "So the master already knew that Uncle Zuo was very good?"
The expression on Zhu Yuyan's face changed, as if she was recalling the unbearable past, "At that time, my teacher still firmly believed in Tianmo Ce, and believed that the way to make up for the mental loopholes was to find a nasty person to have children. But, for
The teacher was arrogant and knew what to do but was unwilling to do it. So, he wanted to find a way to get the best of both worlds. You also know the origin of the Demon Sect, and it was at that time that I started to come into contact with the thoughts of hundreds of schools of thought."
"Master wants to start from the ideological aspects of the roots of the Demon Sect, and then use his own talent to create a martial arts that is different from the Demon Cage to make up for the mental loopholes?"
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said: "Don't you think that although our Heavenly Demon Dafa is mysterious, it has nothing to do with the thoughts of various schools of thought? It is precisely because of this that the people in the Demon Sect have lost their thoughts and beliefs more and more, and have become
It’s even more selfish. I had already vaguely discovered some problems, but I haven’t fully understood them yet.”
