For the sake of saying this, how could Zhou Gui have any room for rejection? The two of them picked their weak points and started to attack, both soft and hard. They were talking about the most urgent things in Ibaraki right now, and the private banquet could only stop there.
Zhou Gui personally sent the two back to the courtyard, and then walked back with Kong Ling carrying the lantern. He frowned and said, "How do you look?"
Kong Ling paced and said: "It's difficult to deal with, both of them are difficult to deal with, but what they said is true. Now that the Queen Mother is in power, Haige is sick, and the cabinet disputes have arisen, and Jiang/Qingshan's transfer to Zhongbo is no longer the case. So sure, if you randomly assign an official from an aristocratic family to come over, the good days of Ibaraki will come to an end.”
"That's what I thought too." Zhou Gui, immersed in the water-like moonlight, pondered for a while, and said, "I agreed too quickly, I was worried that the two of them would think Izuku would be too easy to handle. I agreed too slowly, and I was worried The two of them patiently ran out, and Ibaraki lost the opportunity to revive, which is really difficult to grasp."
"Hard-to-catch may not be able to catch Xiao Chiye," Kong Ling looked back and looked at Zhou Gui, "We must make up our minds on this matter as soon as possible. If it drags on for too long, it will be detrimental to us."
Kong Ling is right, they can still talk with Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan in detail now, that's because Xiao Chiye is in a hurry to cross the border, considering the influence of Cizhou on the Northeast Grain and Horse Road, and can't break through or turn his face. The state is the one with the upper hand. But the longer the hesitation, the more detrimental it is to Izuku, because the bandits led by Lei Changming are a serious problem in Izuku. If he enters the country to rob, Zhou Gui will have to ask the Imperial Army for help, then Xiao Chiye will become a The side that has the upper hand is upside down with Ibaraki.
"Looking at Xiao Chiye's informality, he shouldn't be that kind of person who sits idly by." Zhou Gui was still hesitating, "Let's wait... Wait for the news of Qidu."
"It's rare for you to be confused," Kong Ling sighed. "You have tied the life of a state to a 'non-trivial', but we know people who know their faces and don't know their hearts! If they sit on the ground and raise prices, they won't be as easy to talk as today."
"I am hesitant because this matter is about the lives of Yizhou people," Zhou Gui took a few steps to catch up with Kong Ling, flipped his sleeves, stretched out his hand, and said to Kong Ling, "Chengfeng, it's really good to be king by yourself. Do you want to do it? You think about the former crown prince, it was a real downfall. Now Libei has turned against him, but after all parties consider, how can this battle be fought? It's not all good for Libei. They not only have to take care of Biansha Cavalry, you should also be alert to Qidong's sudden advance. If you cut off the northeast grain and horse road, wouldn't it become a trapped beast in a cage? It won't live for too long! When the time comes, Libei will be too busy to take care of itself, what should we do in Cizhou? For the fish and meat to be slaughtered by others, you have to bear the reputation of a traitor!"
"Things have come to this point, and it is impossible to retreat all over again." Kong Ling said earnestly, "You can think about it again tonight."

As soon as Xiao Chiye entered the room, there was a graceful figure walking towards him. This maid with white skin and black temples, knelt down facing Xiao Chiye Yingying, pulled up her bun to reveal a large part of the back of her neck, and opened her neckline very low. She slightly stroked her hair on the side of the temple, and called out in a soft voice: "Master Hou..."
Xiao Chiye didn't look at her, ready to take off his shirt. The maid listened to the movement and quickly got up to undress for Xiao Chiye.
Shen Zechuan touched Xiao Chiye's shoulder, and Xiao Chiye grabbed him. Shen Zechuan was supported by Xiao Chiye, raised his chin slightly, and gently kicked off his shoes.
Xiao Chiye said, "Go and prepare hot water, I know you are drunk."
The maid pulled up her clothes and leaned over to pick up Shen Zechuan's shoes. But Shen Zechuan lowered the small bamboo fan and raised her face. She didn't dare to move, so she could only look at Shen Zechuan along the fan, and saw that Shen Zechuan frowned slightly, but the corners of her eyes were like wet peach blossoms, which made her eyes gleam with water, and she suddenly felt ashamed. , hurriedly averted his eyes, not daring to look directly at Shen Zechuan.
Shen Zechuan didn't say anything, just glanced at it a few times, and then moved his fan away. The maid obediently placed the shoes neatly, and bowed her head and stepped back softly.
"Does it look good?" Xiao Chiye asked Shen Zechuan after the door was closed.
Shen Zechuan put his fingers on the bamboo fan, didn't reply, only stepped on Xiao Chiye's instep with his clean socks, pulled Xiao Chiye's unremoved jacket, and got closer. Xiao Chiye took him and saw that his brows were languid. He was relaxing after drinking. He bowed his head and wanted to kiss him, but he leaned back slightly and did not give Xiao Chiye a kiss.
The two of them breathed with Gan Lie who "go right away", and the exhaustion from running all the way has eased in these few days of rest. Shen Zechuan looked pale after leaving Yedu, but with Xiao Chiye's love, he was like a jade that had been rubbed out of temperature. It was hard and hot against Xiao Chiye's palm.
"Kong Ling is the old part of Tantai Dragon. If Lei Changming doesn't get rid of his heart disease, he won't get rid of his heart disease." Xiao Chiye undressed Shen Zechuan, pulled off his shirt, and rubbed his lower back, still saying , "Lei Changming is eager to ask for food again. Sooner or later, he will fight the idea of Cizhou. As long as you tell Kong Ling the stakes, he will find a way to persuade Zhou Gui."
"Hmm..." Shen Zechuan couldn't bear the spirits like "Let's go now", and his cheeks became hot, but he still looked at Xiao Chiye, listening carefully, but his eyes revealed other seriousness.
"Let the forbidden army replace the patrol of Ibaru, it means to hold it for the time being, and Zhou Gui will definitely not agree for a long time. This time, thanks to Ding Tao's quick inquiries, the news that Kong Ling was once Tantai Long's old department... "Xiao Chiye didn't seem to understand Shen Zechuan's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Huh?"
Shen Zechuan tiptoed a little, then fell back. The calmer he looked, the more intense his crimson color, and he was forced to sweat by the wine force.
"Kiss," Xiao Chiye said in a deep voice, "I followed your instructions today and didn't bully them at all."
Shen Zechuan wrinkled Xiao Chiye's clothes, he endured for a moment and said, "It's not enough."
Xiao Chiye's chest shook and bowed his head again. When Shen Zechuan wanted to kiss, he lifted it up and said, "Let's take a shower first."
Shen Zechuan raised his chin, his lips that were reddened by the wine were half-open, and the tongue that was wandering between his teeth licked the slightly dry corners of his lips. He just looked at Xiao Chiye like this, and the lust/lust all over his body ignited, making Xiao Chiye stop teasing him. He didn't understand that he was carrying that extreme temptation before, but with the constant intimacy, he seemed to have learned to incite without speaking.

The next day, Zhou Gui only got up and saw Kong Ling leading the maid in. He was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter, didn't I let you wait by the Marquis' side?"
The maid clenched her handkerchief and turned to cover her face, saying, "Sir, you have to listen carefully to find the right medicine, right? Who is that person standing next to Lord Hou? I don't even dare to touch the corner of my clothes! Don't look straight at me!"
Zhou Gui didn't understand it at first, but then his face turned pale in shock, and the face-wiping handkerchief on his hand fell off. He is a scholar who is over 40 years old. He usually doesn't even go to the Qin Lou Chu Museum. He is very disciplined at home. According to his mother's order, he has a concubine. Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan have the same relationship.
"This... this!" Zhou Gui wiped his face and complained to Kong Ling, "Why didn't you remind me? Wouldn't this offend people severely!"
Kong Ling's face was not good-looking, and he said, "I don't know..."
The two looked at each other and sighed in unison. During the stalemate, I heard the little servant outside kneeling outside the door and shouting: "Sir, last night there was an urgent report that Lei Changming from Dunzhou gathered 40,000 bandits and came to our Cizhou!"
"Why are there so many people?" Zhou Gui suddenly felt cold. "Half a year ago, there were only more than 10,000 people under him..."
"What are you afraid of!" Kong Ling said immediately, "Go and invite the Marquis, just say last night's covenant, we complied!"
