Chapter 141 The Secret Work
Zhou Yi and Li Yingru are newlyweds, and they have been together for a few days of vacation. Li Yingru is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also well-read poetry and books. Zhou Yi wants to discuss an article or something with her. Even if Li Yingru didn't understand it before, after Zhou Yi introduced the situation to her, she can analyze it quite well.
The corners of Zhou Yi's mouth were grinning to the back of his teeth. Not only did he marry a daughter-in-law, but he also brought a baby home.
Zhou Yi used to hold a sneer at the so-called soul mates. How could a person's soul even be understood clearly by himself, how could it be possible to blend with others?
But after getting along with Li Yingru, Zhou Yi felt that he might indeed have found his soul mate.
After Zhou Yi accompanied Li Yingru back home, he was about to go to the commercial department to continue his errands. He called Qingzhu to bring the account books at home, and took out the account books and keys from the study, and handed them to Li Yingru.
"Yingru, you are married to the Zhou family, and you will be the one to run the family from now on."
"How can this work? Mother, she is the master of the back house. Even if it is to be handed over to me, it should be up to the mother to say Right?" Li Yingru hesitated. For all the big families in the capital, the position of housekeeper and mistress is very important. Generally, if the old lady is healthy, then the old lady will catch it with one hand, and may let the daughter-in-law beat him or something. Of course, there are also old ladies who think about it. After marrying the daughter-in-law, they will directly hand over the housekeeping to the daughter-in-law.
But no matter what, a handover ceremony like this is a matter between the previous mistress. It is really inappropriate in terms of the rules to avoid Wang Yan like Zhou Yi.
If Wang Yan cares, Zhou Yi is her own son, she will not be angry, but the daughter-in-law is different, maybe Wang Yan will have an opinion on Li Yingru.
"You don't understand our family's situation. My mother doesn't know much about it, and she doesn't like it. Before when my sisters were not married, they were the housekeepers. Now that my sisters are married, my father will also help set them up. Handle, the rest is just being fooled by Qingzhu, it’s okay for them to do outside work, but the inner house is a bit difficult for them, now that you have entered the door, it can be regarded as a relief for them.” Zhou Yi sat beside Li Yingru holding the account book , said in detail.
"So that's it." Li Yingru nodded: "I said these days, I feel that although the house is big, the servants are always very confused and can't find their own places. " It's all up to you." Zhou Yi pointed to the stack of ledgers on his right: "This is our family's expenses." Then he patted the left ledger: "This is our family's income." "Income? Mr. , do you have other livelihoods besides being an official?" Li Yingru said, curiously flipping through Zhou Yi's account book, and after reading a few pages, she covered her mouth: "You... this is our family's. Income? How can there be so much?" Zhou Yi smiled: "I opened the workshop in Xiawan Village before I passed the Jinshi examination, and now it has a reputation all over Da Viet, Madam, the most popular lipstick in Beijing , white powder, soap, and this year's popular perfume are all produced in the workshop of Xiawan Village, but now the person in charge is Zhou Zhu, who is my cousin, and we will come back next spring You can see it in Xiawan Village. In this investment promotion meeting, Xiawan Village Workshop has also bought a place, and maybe these things will be able to go out of Da Viet soon." Li Yingru put away the account book and said with a smile, "Sir, I always thought you The family has no other income except your income from being an official. I originally thought about using the dowry to buy some property, but I thought I was completely wrong. It's time for the villain to curse me!" Zhou Yi smiled after hearing this: "So you are married to the right person, but Madam, you actually thought of using your own dowry to buy property, I am so touched by your husband." He said deliberately He touched his chest. Li Yingru was amused by Zhou Yi's weird look, but after laughing a few times, she still said: "Even so, I still need the consent of my father and mother to take over the housekeeping, otherwise, no matter how old they are It’s time for me to have some complaints.” Zhou Yi nodded, “It’s my fault. If so, let’s go find parents together.” The husband and wife took each other to Zhou’s son and Wang. When they arrived, Zhou Yi and Wang Yan were talking, and Zhou Yi went straight to the point; "Father, mother, Yingru has already married into our family, so I will leave the housekeeping to her." Come on, so that you two elders won’t suffer.”
Hearing the words, Zhou Laoer hurriedly said: "This is what it should be. I can't respond to the inner house. Your mother doesn't understand these things. It's best to leave it to your daughter-in-law. Yanniang, what do you think?" Wang Yan
nodded "That's right, my daughter-in-law knows these things. I don't understand, so let her take care of it." After speaking, he lowered his head and went to drink tea.
Li Yingru stood on the side and looked at Wang Yan's expression. After thinking about it, she walked up to her with a smile, and said with a smile beside her: "Mom, when I saw you embroidering yesterday, I kept rubbing your shoulders, but they hurt a little." Let me rub it for you, I often give my mother a massage, and my hand strength is not bad."
Wang Yan is a country woman. She has been bullied by Zhou's mother for the first half of her life, and she is not as courageous as a mouse. Although things got better after the separation, she didn't have much knowledge. Marrying a noble daughter-in-law like Li Yingru, she was afraid that Li Yingru would bully her. Being bullied, she feels very uncomfortable. Li Yingru is not as delicate and pretty as other girls, so she doesn't look like someone to be provoked, which made her feel a little apprehensive. Hearing this, Wang Yan hesitated and said, "Isn't that Well, let the servant girl do these things." Li Yingru laughed: "What's wrong with that? I married into the Zhou family, so that's your junior, your daughter-in-law and your daughter. Isn't it right for mother to pinch her shoulders?" As he spoke, he began to pinch with his hands. Zhou Yi sat on the side and watched Li Yingru's movements with a smile. Wang Yan frowned at the beginning, but gradually, her brows loosened, and a relaxed look appeared on her face. While pinching, Li Yingru gently asked: "Mother, is this strength okay? If it hurts, you can help me." I said." "Okay, very good." Wang Yan said with a smile. Li Yingru took the opportunity to say: "Mom, you and dad trust me and entrust me with the housekeeping, but I just married into our family, so I don't know much about some things. If there are things that I don't do well, you have to teach me." " Wang Yan laughed even more when she heard this: "I don't understand these things. When you were not married, I didn't care much about these things. It was all supported by your sisters. You can look at the housekeeper's affairs. Let's do it."
Li Yingru blinked at Zhou Yi at this moment.
Zhou Yi also blinked in response to her.
"Mother, how can you say that? Think about it, you and your father have worked hard to bring up your father-in-law and sisters, and each of your children has been educated so well. You are a successful mother. There is a lot of knowledge in this." If you don’t know how to be a housekeeper, how can you treat your mother so well? Your skills are enough for me to learn for the rest of my life!” “
Is that so?” Wang Yan was elated by Li Yingru’s words. She has been praised for her great ability. Before she had a son, she was an unknown woman who could not have a son. After she had a son, she was complained by her daughters for not taking good care of them when they were young. Therefore, Wang Yan has no self-confidence. Now she wants to do something to make up for it, but she is always at odds with each other. From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't feel that she has any abilities, so Li Yingru's words make her happy, but at the same time she hesitates.
"Of course it is. If you don't believe me, you can ask your father and your husband."
"Is that so?" Wang Yan looked at Zhou Laoer, and Zhou Laoer looked at the long-lost smile on Wang Yan's face, and nodded quickly: "It's natural."
Zhou Yi also smiled and said: "Mother, what Ying Ru said is what I want to say."
Wang Yan's face flushed a little after hearing this, and she told Li Yingru to stop: "Ying Ru, you married into our family, mother don't How about making you a meal?"
Li Yingru asked in surprise, "Mother, do you do it yourself? Let your daughter-in-law come, so that you don't get tired." "
Hey, what's the matter, I spent the first half of my life They're all spinning around the pot, if they don't move, their bones will rust." Wang Yan
swept away the gloom before.
"Mother, let me help you. You can also teach me how to cook. In the future, I can also cook for you and my father, and my husband will eat!" Li Yingru supported Wang Yan, talking to her, and went to the kitchen. Walking in the direction, walking a little farther, I don't know what Li Yingru said in Wang Yan's ear, Wang Yan was amused and laughed out loud.
Zhou Laoer looked at Zhou Yi and gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up, "Here's a daughter-in-law!"
Zhou Yi smiled. Although Wang Yan was his mother, Zhou Yi had to admit that Wang Yan didn't have much knowledge. With Li Yingru's delicate spirit, as long as she was willing to spend her time coaxing a farmer It's not like the wife is ready to grab it, she found Wang Yan's weakness without saying a few words, and directly broke her defense.
With Li Yingru working hard to be Wang Yan's lubricant, Wang Yan was smiling all over her face for several days, and Zhou Yi also spent his wedding holiday in this harmonious family atmosphere. The people who were sent out to check the merchants have returned, compared the two, and found that the reports reported by the local government were less than 10% of the checks. This is not surprising, the local reports are all merchants registered as merchants, while those registered as farmers, landlords, or other identities who are actually engaged in this business are more hidden. Zhou Yi is still very satisfied with the result. Finding out so many merchants at least proves that those who went to check are not slack. Of course, it may also be because he published it in the Da Viet Times. If he missed the opportunity to be registered as a merchant by the Ministry of Commerce, it would have a lot to do with paying 10% more taxes in the future. After all, as long as you are engaged in business, if you don’t check before, and the place is well organized, it’s nothing, but now they deliberately track it down, and they can’t hide it. Therefore, the people sent by Zhou Yi did not encounter much resistance when they checked, and some even He also took the initiative to explain his identity. After all, the Ministry of Commerce didn't say that people who are engaged in business must change their status as merchants, but they just want to keep a business record with the Ministry of Commerce. Zhou Yi ordered the subordinates of the commercial department to register the list of verified merchants, and then specially created a kind of identity plate with a password and a number, which recorded the simple information of the merchants. These nameplates were also registered one by one. Then let the people from the Ministry of Commerce who are about to be stationed in the local area send out the corresponding nameplates of the local merchants. In this way, it is much easier to manage merchants. If new merchants are found out in the future, just continue to register.
The yamen of the Ministry of Commerce in the local area has been set up. On the day when the resident was sent to the local area, Zhou Yi said with a serious face: "I don't have much to say, I hope you will bear in mind that we are doing an unprecedented event. It is related to the future of my Dai Viet. I hope you will keep in mind the motto of my Ministry of Commerce. If there is any violation, I will investigate to the end. Of course, if you are dedicated to your duties, I will not hesitate to promote you. I hope that when the evaluation is held at the end of next year, I will I welcome you with a smile, go."
"Yes, the subordinates must remember your lord's instruction!"
Sending off the people from the Ministry of Commerce stationed in the local area, the time is approaching the end of the new year.
This year, thanks to Zhou Yi's generosity, Dayue's treasury finally got rid of the embarrassment of being able to run horses, and the frowning brows of the Minister of the Household Department also loosened. Hey straight sigh.
In winter in the capital, it seemed to be snowing every day. Although it was already dusk, when Zhou Yi walked out of the commercial department, he didn't need to light up a lantern at all. The white light reflected by the snow was just like the fading moonlight.
Just a few steps out of the Commerce Department, I met Tao Dihua who came out from the Household Department. Zhou Yi hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Master Tao, are you going to the Yamen at this time?" "Oh, it's Master Zhou, hurry
up Ah, I'm closing the deal at the end of the year today, thanks to you, Mr. Zhou, otherwise, even if I want to be busy, I'm afraid I won't be too busy!" Tao Dihua stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face.
"The lower official just did what he should do, and it's nothing."
Tao Dihua waved his hand when he heard the words: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, if you talk about the civil and military affairs of the court, who I admire the most may be you. You are really Taught this old man a good lesson, so that this old man has great expectations for the business you said, maybe your method can really bring a new look to Dayue..." At this point, Tao Dihua paused, Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, so he made Zhou Yi's mischievous joke: "Master Zhou, you are just newlyweds, why do you come to the office so late every day, are you afraid that your beautiful wife at home will be anxious?" Zhou Yi
touched Touching his nose: "Master Tao, don't make fun of me. There are a lot of things to do in the beginning of the new year. I have to prepare well. Now I am busy preparing for the business academy..."
Hearing Zhou Yi talk about the commercial academy, Tao Dihua suppressed the smile on his face: "Master Zhou, the academy is a place to preach and teach. I still hope you think twice before acting. If something is wrong, it will cause trouble, but Mr. Zhou Strategizing, the old man is unfounded to worry about. How is the preparation of your business academy?"
Zhou Yi was two steps behind Tao Dihua, "It is almost ready now, the academy is under construction, and some teachers have been hired, and students will be able to enroll after a year!"
"That's great!" Tan Dihua nodded.
The two went home together. Tao Dihua's home was on the East Street, and he didn't ask anyone to pick him up. Zhou Yi prepared to send him home out of respect for the elderly. As the end of the year is approaching, some businesses on the street have hung up red lanterns, and there are also dragon and lion dance teams on the street.
The children were brought out by the adults, cheering and running all over the street.
While Zhou Yi was talking to Tao Dihua, his knee was bumped suddenly. Zhou Yi lowered his head to look, only to find that it was a little bean wrapped like a rice dumpling, about three or four years old. He probably knew that he had bumped into someone, and grinned. Xiaozui raised the candied haws in his hand, and asked with some reluctance: "Uncle, do you want to eat?"
Zhou Yi thought it was funny, but he didn't expect that he was also called Uncle, so he knelt down and looked at Xiaodouding: "How can you eat it?" Call me Uncle, do you want to call me Big Brother?” He couldn’t help pinching Xiao Douding’s face as he spoke, the soft touch reminded him of Zhou Jia’s childhood, chubby, like a glutinous rice ball, pinching his He will take the initiative to move his face upwards. But then I grew up, got taller, and my stature was adjusted, so it was not so fun.
Xiao Douding looked at Zhou Yi suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why he called him brother. At this time, the child's parents called out from a distance: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, where are you?" "Mother, mother, I'm here
... ..." Xiao Douding replied in a childish voice, and wanted to turn around and run in the direction of his parents, but suddenly thought of something, and bowed slightly to Zhou Yi: "I'm sorry, brother" and then raised his head, like He ran away on his short legs like a meat bun.
"This child is very cute." Tao Dihua praised beside him.
Zhou Yi smiled, "Yes, very cute."
Tao Dihua looked at Zhou Yi's appearance, and when the two were walking towards the East Street, he couldn't help asking: "Master Zhou, forgive me for taking the liberty, I know the ambition in your heart, but you can obviously take a more relaxed approach. , Isn’t it better to get things done when it’s a matter of course? I always feel that everything you’re doing now seems to be in a hurry.”
Zhou Yi raised his head and glanced at Tao Dihua when he heard the words, and was quite surprised in his heart. He didn’t expect Tao Dihua to see it. Tao Dihua's concern about his establishment of a commercial academy also shows that he may have thought of the possible impact of the commercial academy.
Zhou Yi didn't hide it from Tao Dihua either, he nodded, "I'm just in a hurry, Da Yue has internal and external troubles, so I can't wait for you to slack off, if we take a step back, there may be a deep abyss waiting for Da Yue. Master Tao, are you Hubu Shangshu, you know the economic situation of Dai Viet best. How long do you think Dai Viet can last if it continues to develop like this? To be disrespectful, if the Han Dynasty changes, we can accept it, but if the foreign people take this This piece of land has been conquered. At that time, our tens of thousands of Han people will live under the rule of aliens. I did all this not only for the emperor, but also for Dai Viet, and even more for the sake of the child just like that. Countless other children, let them grow up safely."
Tao Dihua said nothing, and he looked at Zhou Yi with unprecedented solemnity.
In fact, what Zhou Yi has not said is that if the historical process of this time and space and that time and space remain unchanged, at this time, there will be a storm in the West, and that is the coming of another great era... Tao Dihua is staring at Zhou Yi in a daze
. Suddenly, a figure flashed out without knowing it, and whispered something in Zhou Yi's ear.
Zhou Yi's face tightened suddenly when he heard this, and he cupped his hands at Tao Dihua: "Master Tao, please forgive me for not being able to send you home."
Without waiting for Tao Dihua's reaction, he left quickly.
Zhou Yi rode on the prepared horse and rushed to the suburbs of Beijing together with the imperial guards brought by Wang Xiangxi.
This is the largest mountainous area in the suburbs of Beijing. Zhou Yi rode on his horse and ran for more than an hour before dismounting. He let the imperial guards guard outside and entered through a mountain pass by himself.
After detours and detours, countless traps were opened before they came to an open area. There was no torch in it, but something similar to a night pearl for lighting.
This empty area has actually hollowed out the entire mountain. This empty room is connected with many passages, which can be said to extend in all directions.
Zhou Yi walked into a passageway familiarly, and then patted on the wall, a stone door opened slowly. This is a torture room, there are already many people inside, and three tied-up aliens were thrown in the middle.
Seeing Zhou Yi coming in, the people in the room hurriedly saluted.
Zhou Yi waved his hands and asked coldly, "What's going on?
" The adults deal with it, but the general guesses that they sneaked in to steal the firecrackers." A general said.
Zhou Yi beckoned, and someone brought him a chair.
Zhou Yi sat down and looked at the three foreigners who were beaten and bruised all over in front of him, "Have you found out which country they are from? Do they have any accomplices? Are you sure that only the three of them got in?
" Their identities have not been found out, and they were captured not long ago, and there is no mark on them, but the general has confirmed that only three of them from other races have mixed in. Before you come, my lord, the general has screened the entire base "
"Is there an inner ghost?" Zhou Yi frowned and asked, in such a tight place, it is impossible for no inner ghost to sneak in.
"This is still under investigation," the general replied hurriedly.
Zhou Yi nodded, and then looked at the three aliens: "Since you are sent to do such a thing, you must be proficient in the Dai Viet language, I ask you, do you have internal support?" The faces of the three
aliens The ferocious look on his face flashed past, but he didn't speak.
Zhou Yi suddenly slapped his hands: "I said you Khan are too, since you are doing such a secret thing, why did you send you here again, with your looks?" Zhou Yi pointed to their high noses and big eyes, "This is not a live target ?"
The three of them gave Zhou Yi a hard look.
Zhou Yi nodded: "I understand, you are tough, I think you Khan can't stand it, so I let you die..." "Fart,
we are the most fearless warriors of the Great Qiang, and belong to Khan." Guards..." The bear-like guy in the middle couldn't bear it first, being able to become Khan's guard and being trusted by Khan was what all the warriors in Daqiang yearned for. This means that they are warriors among the warriors, and they are the best sons of Daqiang. Zhou Yi said that Daqiang Khan sent them to die, which directly made this guy angry.
"Chahar, don't be fooled..."
As soon as Chahar uttered a word, the person on his left hurriedly shouted, anxiously speaking in the language of Dai Viet.
Chahar in the middle snapped his mouth and straightened his eyes, as if he just realized that he had exposed his identity.
Zhou Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are members of the Daqiang Khan and the guards of the Daqiang Khan! Tsk tsk tsk, the Daqiang Khan is willing to spend his money, isn't the guard of the Daqiang Khan among the elites of the Daqiang? What a pity, they will all die on my land of Dayue today."
Zhou Yi's words did not arouse much reaction from these people. Since they came to do this, they already had the consciousness of failure in their hearts.
Zhou Yi looked at them and smiled, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and an officer next to him directly handed a firecracker to his hand: "I know you are from Daqiang, the biggest information has been obtained, keep it You are useless..." As soon as the words finished, Zhou Yi suddenly shot the head of the person on the left.
The man on the left only hoo hoo a few times, then fell to the ground without making a sound.
It was silent, and everyone in the execution room dared not breathe.
Zhou Yi was still talking with one breath, and suddenly killed someone with the next breath. This kind of ability is not possessed by everyone. What's more important is that he always has a gentle smile on his face when killing people.
Someone in the execution room swallowed quietly. This kind of way of taking someone's life while talking and laughing, the more you think about it, the more you feel chills down your spine.
The other two Daqiang people were also stunned at the moment, a trace of cold sweat broke out from their foreheads, looking at Zhou Yi who was smiling from beginning to end, the two of them felt chills in their hearts.
They have fought with the most ferocious beasts and the bravest warriors. At that time, they were not afraid at all, because at least when fighting these, both sides will have a process of accumulating energy, which will give them full psychological preparation. But like Zhou Yi, he killed people without any warning while talking and laughing... Really... "You are from the Great Qiang, and I am from the Great Yue, so I am naturally on the opposite side. Don't blame me for being cruel..." There was another bang, and the big Qiang man on the right also fell down. "Chahar, you're the only one left now, how about it, do you want to talk about internal affairs?" Zhou Yi pointed a firecracker at Chahar. Chahar closed his eyes: "If you want to kill, you can kill it. If you want me to submit to you Da Viet people, that is a dream!" Zhou Yi nodded: "Yes, you are indeed a man." In fact, Zhou Yi is not Hope to get some inside information out of this population, these guys are deadly, they don't understand the reason to keep the green hills without worrying about no firewood, and if they are sure of one thing, even if they are hacked into pieces, they will not let it go These people spoke. "Take him with you." Zhou Yi ordered, then turned and left the execution room. The general behind him quickly signaled his subordinates to drag Chahar to follow. Zhou Yi walked straight to a passage, and when he reached the end of the passage, there was a huge iron gate. Zhou Yi signaled the general behind him to open the door, and the general took out the key and inserted it into the hole of the iron gate without hesitation. Chahar narrowed his eyes. Where are you going to take him... The iron door opened, and there was another huge empty room with several passages connected. Zhou Yi went straight to another passage, and at the end of this passage was an iron door. Zhou Yi himself took out a key and inserted it into the hole, and then put his right hand into a handprint on the side of the iron door, which perfectly matched his handprint.
With a bang, the iron door opened, and there was a huge space inside. Rows of iron frames were neatly arranged, and there were numbered firecrackers placed on the iron frames.
Fireball! So many firecrackers! ! ! Chahar's eyes looked straight, this is a magic weapon!
"How about it, are you satisfied with what you saw? Did your Khan just ask you to inquire about these news? You Khan is really serious. If he wants to know, he can openly send us a note. Our Da Yue I didn't intend to hide it from you!" Zhou Yi looked at Chahar and said calmly.
What's the meaning? Chahar's eyelids twitched.
Zhou Yi walked into the iron gate, touched a firecracker, as if talking to himself: "There are always some people jumping around restlessly, it seems that it's your turn to play!" "
You guys are going to attack us Big Qiang?" Chahar called out in a voiceless voice.
Zhou Yi listened and looked at Chahar with a smile: "How could it be? Our Da Viet has always been a country of etiquette, peace-loving, and never took the initiative to invade other countries." "Then what do you mean?"
Zhou
Yi pointed at Chahar. Hal blinked his eyes, "You will know what I mean later."
After closing the iron door, Zhou Yi returned to the torture room. He sat on the chair and looked at Chahar for a while, and suddenly his face became calm. He ordered: "Chop off his hands and feet, cut off his tongue, and then tattoo the totem of an eagle on his back, burn it off, and then tattoo the totem of a lion on it again. The totems of Da Qiang and Di Yi Do you know?"
Although the general didn't know the meaning of Zhou Yi's order, he still replied: "Yes. These barbarians like to have tattoos on their backs!" "Okay, remember, the
totem of the eagle must be faintly visible. "
"Yes."
After Zhou Yi gave the order, he walked out of the execution room. Just after he walked not far away, he heard Chahar's screams behind him.
Zhou Yi pressed his stomach that was about to churn, and took a few quick steps to leave the base.
Wang Xiangxi and a group of forbidden soldiers had been waiting for him outside the mountain, and when they saw Zhou Yi coming out, they hurriedly helped Zhou Yi get on the horse. The gate of the Zhou Mansion was still ajar, and there was a faint light from inside.
Zhou Yi felt warm when he saw it.
As soon as Xiang pushed the door in, the door opened. Li Yingru was holding a lantern and wearing a cloak. When she saw Zhou Yi, she hurriedly called out happily: "Mr. Xiang..." "
Yingru, it's so late, why are you still standing here waiting?" ?" Zhou Yi hurriedly stepped forward to embrace Li Yingru.
"I was waiting in the house too, and I just came out to take a look. My husband, I sent someone to find out that you have left the city. What happened?" Li Yingru asked worriedly.
Zhou Yi embraced Li Yingru and walked towards their yard: "Go back to the house and talk about it." Back in the room
, Li Yingru was busy taking care of Zhou Yi to take a bath, the two went to bed and hugged each other, Zhou Yi told Li Yingru what happened today, However, he only said that a few aliens had sneaked into the Huozhu base and were caught, so he dealt with it, and did not elaborate on the rest.
Li Yingru let go of her troubled heart, she is a smart woman, she knew that such a matter involving imperial secrets should not be inquired into.
Zhou Yi kissed Li Yingru's forehead: "Go to sleep."
Early the next morning, Zhou Yi went to see Emperor Chongzheng as soon as he woke up. table.
Not long after Zhou Yi met Emperor Chongzheng, a group of a hundred imperial guards set off from the capital on horseback and headed straight for the border between Dayue and Diyi.
Chahar, who had his limbs cut off and his tongue cut out, was loaded on a prison cart surrounded by the guards.
Ten days later, on New Year's Eve in Da Yue, Di Yi ushered in the forbidden army from Da Yue.
Emperor Chongzheng's letter of credence had arrived in the hands of Di Yi's great king three days ago, and he spoke fiercely, bluntly saying that if Di Yi sent someone to Dayue to spy on the military situation, Dayue would definitely give Di Yi a big gift. He also explained that the details would be returned in a few days.
Di Yi thought that the people they sent out were caught, so he hurriedly sent people to meet him.
Seeing the people sent by Di Yi, the leader of the Forbidden Army had a cold face, and suddenly pulled out the firecrackers from his waist, and the Forbidden Army behind him followed him in unison.
The leader of the forbidden army yelled loudly: "Fire!"
"Bang bang bang..." Hundreds of firecrackers rang together.
The eyes of Di Yi's people on the opposite side all shrank. This is the artifact of Dayue. After that banquet, it has spread to all the surrounding countries!
It just so happened that when the imperial guards opened fire, a flock of birds flew across the sky, and when the marching soldiers retracted their guns, the birds fell to the ground with a clatter.
The corner of the forbidden army leader's mouth twitched, what a fucking coincidence. However, he concealed it very well, showing no surprise at all, and the members of the Forbidden Army behind him also stared straight ahead.
Whether it's a coincidence or not, at least it proves that the lethality of the Da Yue firecracker is real. Those birds just flew high enough to be shot with bows and arrows. And the accuracy is too scary.
When the leader of the imperial army saw that Di Yi had come to meet him, all his faces changed, he raised his chin, and said coldly, "I will pass on the orders of my Majesty, if Di Yi dares to disrespect me again, it will be like this!" A group of dead birds, and then waved their hands, someone opened the prison car, dragged out Chahar, who was still unconscious with only one breath left, and threw it to the Diyi people.
It seemed that Dayue really sent someone to send back Xizuo, and showed the power of the firecracker in front of the Diyi people, and then left like a gust of wind.
The Diyi people thought about the hundreds of people staying, but now that Dayue had the artifact, they didn't dare to act rashly.
He had no choice but to take Chahar back and throw him in King Di Yi's yurt.
However, the official in charge of sending people to Da Viet to inquire about the news saw it and exclaimed, "This is not the person I sent." He stepped forward to check Chahar carefully, and when he saw the totem behind him, he said: "Just in case, none of the people sent out this time have tattoos. But he, hey, there seems to be a totem under his lion totem, this... this seems to be a vulture. Your Majesty, this is not me from Diyi He is from the Great Qiang!!!"
King Di Yi is a majestic and strong man, about thirty years old, his eyes gleamed with a frightening light, he rubbed his teeth when he heard this, "What a great Qiang, how could he They're playing frame-up!"
"Your Majesty, the Daqiang must have sent people to Da Yue to inquire about the news. They were afraid of being caught by Da Yue, so they came up with such a plan, hateful! I didn't expect that group of barbarians to have such a plan." Scheming!"
That's right, Da Qiang and Di Yi are neighbors, in fact, if you trace the source, they may still be the same ancestors, but many years ago they went their own way, and there were frictions all the year round for the land with fertile water and grass. The grievances between each other are simply A child without a mother is a long story. They regard each other as barbarians.
In fact, in the eyes of Dai Viet people, they are all barbarians.
"Fortunately, they also said that if there is a chance, they will form an alliance to attack Dayue together. Look at what they have done. It is true to the face and the opposite. It is worthy of being a vulture, but it is vicious." Said gruffly.
"That's right, now that Da Yue has a divine weapon, they are afraid of offending him, so they use this method of framing him. It's really abominable. Your Majesty, such duplicitous people, we must not form an alliance with them!" "Yes, Your Majesty, we cannot form an alliance
! "
"And next year when we compete for aquatic plants, we must beat them to pieces!!!" A general of Diyi said angrily.
A small countermeasure directly made the already weak alliance between Da Qiang and Di Yi even more impossible, and the instigator was celebrating the New Year with peace of mind at this time.
The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day when a married woman returned to her natal home. Li Yingru deliberately waited until Liu Ya returned home to accompany her for a while, and then returned to Li's house accompanied by Zhou Yi.
"Ying Ru is really thoughtful. Like me, if the Wen family had a daughter who married out, I wouldn't have thought that I would wait for my sister-in-law to come back before going back to my mother's house." Liuya said to Wang Yan with a smile.
Wang Yan nodded: "Your sister-in-law is nice and treats me very well. It turns out that my mother has been worried that she is a noble daughter, and she is afraid that she will be bullied if she comes into our house..." "Mother, you are thinking too much.
" , Yingru is your daughter-in-law, only a mother-in-law bullies her daughter-in-law, no daughter-in-law bullies her mother-in-law, you, put your heart in your stomach." Liuya said dumbfounded after hearing this.
Wang Yan listened and smiled: "Yes, it's mother who thinks too much. After all, your life is better. It's not like me. When I married your father, I was tortured by your grandma. As soon as your sister-in-law came in Master, when I married into the Zhou family, even a few drops of marriage had to be under your grandma's nose..." "
Mother, why don't you want to let Yingru suffer from your daughter-in-law like the grandma?" Is it hard?" Liuya asked.
Wang Yan lowered her head: "Where can it be? I'm not like your grandma.
Okay, I just think why your second sister didn't have such a good life?
"Mother, you are here again! " "Liu Ya suddenly lost her expression: "I have told you countless times about the second sister. She deserves it. "
In the Zhou Mansion, Liu Ya and Wang Yan were chatting privately, and Li Yingru, who had arrived at Li's house, was also dragged into the room by Mrs. Li.
