"It's just by decree." Zhou Jinran didn't say much. A word of decree is enough to explain that his silence is hard to violate the emperor's order, and no one can do anything about pushing him to the emperor.
"Haha, our commander is really a mussel, my mouth is so strict, I can't ask the least, now that we have met, let's go drink tonight, Aloft, how am I going to be the host?"
Zhou Jinzun wants to invite him to dinner? Isn't that to ask questions about going south? Although the story of going south is not well known by everyone, it is not impervious. In this way, the emperor did not do well in protecting Zhou Jinran.
If it was usual, Zhou Jinran would definitely shirk, but he remembered that Zhou Jinzun had gone to find Yu Lao when he left.
Zhou Jinzun's performance at the time was enough to prove that he had a problem, and he didn't even care about taking advantage of others, and Zhou Jinran didn't plan to overturn it easily.
"Good!" Since he was invited, he went to the appointment.
Hearing that Zhou Jinran agreed, Zhou Jinzun was overjoyed.
"Okay, then it's settled, the commander can't break the promise." If a forbidden army commander can use it for himself, isn't the thing he's trying to succeed soon
Zhou Jinzun's abacus was playing loudly, but she didn't know that she was already under the eyes of others, like a naked clown, performing to her heart's content.
There were endless guests in Aloft. In the private room on the third floor, Zhou Jinzun took Zhou Jinran to change drinks for three rounds. After obviously getting a little drunk, Zhou Jinzun finally got to the point after some indifferent polite words.
"It was very hard for you to go out to investigate the case this time. It would be very hard for you on this journey, right?" Even without his instructions, the people below had to send many obstructive killers to protect themselves. Zhou Jinran was able to retreat. .
"As a courtier sharing the worries for the emperor, hard work is nothing." Zhou Jinran deliberately distracted Zhou Jinzun's question. If he is a conscious person, he naturally understands that not everything can be said clearly.
Zhou Jinzun frowned. This week Zhou Jinran had been drinking so much wine by herself, and she was still biting and not telling it. This is horrible.
"The general is about to get married, this king is here to congratulate you." Seeing that Zhou Jinzun couldn't ask anything, he simply changed the topic.
"At that time, I hope that the prince can give a thin face and come over to watch the ceremony."
"It's easy to talk about it, the grand commander will get married. If you want to come to your father, you will appreciate your face, let alone this king?"
Zhou Jinzun responded with a smile, and then tentatively said, "Dawa is not so good lately."
"Oh? Did Dawa take any action again?" Zhou Jinran was busy dealing with the case of embezzling money from the victims of Mexico, and didn't pay much attention to the neighbors.
"Last year, there was flooding in my summer, but Dawa had a drought, and the vegetation was withered. Dawa was originally a nomadic people. If there is no fertile grassland, it would be a dead end. Now I can't eat enough."
Zhou Jinzun’s words caused Zhou Jinran to fall into contemplation. It’s no wonder that Degugeril once went to the palace, and at the end of the year it was Sesgeril who took advantage of the chaos to attack the city. It turned out that he wanted to take the opportunity to make Daxia mess up, grab some powerful people, and then demand. The redeemer seeks some relief funds.
At the beginning, De Gugzhele stepped on the spot in advance, drew the strategy map, and then set up the action by Sesgzhele, but unfortunately, their wishful thinking was repeated, and they all turned into a bubble in the end.
Now, they are facing the crisis of food decision, and they will beg for mercy if they want to.
"Commander, did you hear that?" Zhou Jinzun was startled when he saw him. He didn't know if he heard what he was saying, a little frustrated.
"What?" Sure enough, Zhou Jinran was immersed in her own world and heard nothing.
"Dawa seems to be sending someone to the peace talks." Zhou Jinzun tirelessly said it again.
Peace talks
What qualifications does Dawa have for peace talks? Now they don't have any bargaining chips, but they just put gold on their faces.
"You entered the palace today to report the matter?" Zhou Jinran still remembered that Zhou Jinzun had gone to the emperor, but now he was still drinking with him at ease. It can be seen that the emperor really didn't mention him.
"Of course." Zhou Jinzun has always been well aware of Dawa's affairs. On the one hand, it depends on his identity. On the other hand, it is hard to say.
Zhou Jinran's mouth raised slightly.
"How does the prince plan?"
Zhou Jinzun was about to drink, and after hearing Zhou Jinran's question, he put down his wine glass and said, "I am generous in treating people with virtue, and I will treat people with morals, but he has to show some sincerity."
"Sincere? How does the prince think of sincerity?"
"Bow your heads and claim your ministers, pay tribute every year, and donate cattle and sheep jewelry, otherwise, don't negotiate peace."
"Oh, that's the case." Zhou Jinran's expression was clear.
"What do you mean by that expression?" Zhou Jinzun was very puzzled. Could it be that he was showing his feet
"It's nothing, just seeing the prince say so, I'm afraid, the errand of entertaining the envoy of Dawa has been entrusted to you?"
"Hahaha, the commander has the foresight, the father does have this intention, but the will has not been made yet, don't go out and talk nonsense."
"Hmph, do you think I will?"
"Of course not, of course not, otherwise I won't tell you, come here, drink and drink."
After returning from Aloft, Zhou Jinran first went back to the commander's mansion, and left his tail to the county's main mansion.
At this time, Yu Lao had already rested, but at this moment, Yu Lao was looking at a letter in front of the candlelight.
The dim light illuminates her face, and Xia Wen stands aside.
"Master, what do you say in the letter?" Xia Wen saw Yu Lao read the letter and lit it with a candle flame. The blue flame instantly engulfed the paper, leaving only a pool of ashes.
"The letter says that the arrangements are in order and action can be taken."
"Master..." Xia Wen asked worriedly. She didn't know if it would be too dangerous to do so.
"Xia Wen, people should have the courage to admit that they have done something wrong. Otherwise, how miserable those innocent people should be. If you can't return them to their innocence, they are charged with crimes they shouldn't have, and some people know it. Knowing but not acting, isn't this world too unreasonable?"
Yu Lao comforted Xia Wen. She wanted her to know that she did not do all this for repaying someone's love, nor for the so-called righteousness, but that she wanted to give some people in the world a piece of clarity and justice!
"Master, Xia Wen thanked the master for them." Xia Wen knelt down to Yu Lao with tears in her eyes.
"Well, it may not be too peaceful lately. You should pay attention to the affairs in the county lord's mansion to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it." Yu Lao didn't want to make a difference.
"Master, rest assured, Xia Wen will do her best."
The master and servant talked for a while, Yu Lao asked again and again, and Zhou Jinran arrived.
Seeing him coming, Xia Wen retreated as usual, leaving a space alone with them.
Zhou Jinran saw Yu Lao wearing a semi-old pink dress with a goose yellow open, her hair tied with ribbons, two strands of hair were left on the temples, and her round ears were looming, making her look extremely charming. (End of this chapter)
