Chapter 175 - The Zhou Boy Is Unscrupulous (1)
Is this the legendary love-hate relationship?
Eunuch Zhao didn’t know what his master was thinking. He only knew to follow his master’s instructions.
If he wanted Marquis Zhou to stay far away from the capital, and he didn’t want anything to happen to him, then he could only send more experts to protect him secretly.
Eunuch Zhao also felt a headache.
If Great Qin abided by the rules, then Great Xia’s diplomatic mission had sufficient guards.
If Great Qin didn’t abide by the rules, then what was the point of sending a few more experts?
How could they let a diplomatic mission escape in their territory?
Of course, the possibility of something happening was very low.
If Great Qin really annihilated the diplomatic mission of Great Xia with great fanfare, it would definitely incur the wrath of the masses. Even with the power of Great Qin, they wouldn’t do such a thing rashly.
Zhou Shu naturally didn’t know about Emperor Yuan Feng’s conflicted thoughts.
But he was very conflicted right now.
Lu Wenshuang was an extraordinary woman…
She did as she said and actually followed Zhou Shu closely!
Although most of the time, she didn’t speak and wouldn’t affect Zhou Shu’s actions, there were some situations that made Zhou Shu feel extremely uncomfortable. For example, when he went to the toilet, she guarded the door…
For example, when he was sleeping, she sat on a stool outside Zhou Shu’s door without fearing it would affect her reputation…
Zhou Shu repeatedly tried to reason with her, but she only had one mission. Her mission was to protect Zhou Shu until he returned. During this process, she wouldn’t leave Zhou Shu’s side.
Zhou Shu didn’t know how Emperor Yuan Feng had given Lu Wenshuang the order. He couldn’t do anything to this extremely stubborn woman.
“Do you want to come up and sleep together?” Zhou Shu shouted at Lu Wenshuang.
Lu Wenshuang glanced at him expressionlessly.
Zhou Shu was not happy at all. He turned around and fell asleep.
I don’t care. If you want to keep watch, then keep watch. I don’t believe you can go without sleeping!
Zhou Shu felt relieved and quickly fell asleep.
When he woke up, he had just opened his eyes when he saw Lu Wenshuang sitting on a chair not far from him, cultivating with her eyes closed.
The early morning light shone in through the window and landed on Lu Wenshuang’s face. Her already fair skin looked even more like porcelain.
It had to be said that apart from being a little cold, Lu Wenshuang’s appearance was flawless.
She’s almost catching up to our grand minister.
Zhou Shu looked down. She’s too different from our grand minister. It’s too peaceful…
A sharp gaze shot toward Zhou Shu. Lu Wenshuang’s eyes had opened at some point, and she was staring icily at Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu was like someone who had been caught peeking at a beautiful woman, and he smiled awkwardly. “You’re awake? You really stayed up all night. Didn’t I tell you? This is Chang’an. Nothing will happen,” Zhou Shu said. “Is it possible that you won’t sleep during this mission at all?” Lu Wenshuang remained silent with a cold expression. She didn’t need sleep. After cultivating for a night, the effect was better than sleeping
“Alright, do whatever you want,” Zhou Shu said helplessly. When this woman wanted to talk, she would talk. When she didn’t want to talk, she wouldn’t say a word no matter how much he asked her.
He got out of bed, washed up, and ate breakfast.
Lu Wenshuang followed by Zhou Shu’s side. She did what she was supposed to do and ate without any reservation. Zhou Shu had an illusion. After getting used to Lu Wenshuang’s existence, it seemed that it didn’t affect him much after all…
The Great Xia diplomatic mission didn’t set out with great fanfare.
Apart from the relevant personnel, the citizens of Chang’an didn’t even know about it.
Perhaps it was because Great Xia didn’t know the outcome of this diplomatic mission. If they publicized it too much and the results were not good, it wouldn’t look good on them.
Three thousand people gathered at the post house outside the capital.
By the time Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang arrived, the large group of people had already gathered. Following Zhou Shu’s command, the large group slowly began to move. Zhou Shu sat on a horse and glanced at the carriage at the back. It was Great General Meng’s carriage.
He had fought his entire life, and now that he was old, he couldn’t even ride a horse anymore. There was nothing more helpless in life than this.
Zhou Shu turned around and held the reins. I definitely can’t be like Meng Bai. I must work hard to increase my strength!
Workers, come to me!
While thinking, Zhou Shu suddenly felt a gaze fall on him.
He turned around and saw a resentful gaze.
Yang Hong? Zhou Shu was slightly stunned.
“Marquis, where is my ranked weapon?” Yang Hong asked with his eyes.
Didn’t you say that you would give me a rank weapon if I joined the diplomatic mission?
I waited until the flowers wilted. I still haven’t seen my ranked weapon.
Zhou Shu smiled faintly at Yang Hong and nodded.
In Yang Hong’s eyes, Zhou Shu was saying, “Don’t worry. Leave it to me.”
He was shocked. I knew that the marquis didn’t forget me!
“Giddy up!” Zhou Shu spurred his horse and raised his whip. Great Xia’s diplomatic mission set off!
More than three thousand people left Chang’an. To Chang’an, which had a population of tens of millions, it was nothing.
The people’s lives were still the same. The civil and military officials were already on duty and handling official business.
Emperor Yuan Feng looked up from Cheng Shan’s memorial and rubbed his sore neck. “The diplomatic mission has set off?” Emperor Yuan Feng looked at Eunuch Zhao.
