Chapter 479 Lovesickness
Zhou Yiheng's chicken blood did not shake the old playboy's heart to study.
No matter how much he loved his son, he would never joke about his own future, let alone his son's future.
Assist the king?
Ha!
Is that something I can assist by studying hard!
Zhou Huaishan has a very clear self-awareness.
My son is the king, and I am an upright official!
Qingqingzi and Lilizi failed again in persuading their father to study.
However, despite the failure to persuade their father to study, in the middle of the night, news came from the palace that the eunuch chief was back.
Zhou Qing was awakened in a daze, and saw Shen Li putting on his clothes, yawning and said, "The eunuch chief is back, why did you go to the palace at night?"
Shen Li buttoned his buttons, "Maybe there will be a war."
Zhou Qing suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up.
Shen Li put on his shoes while saying, "If we have to fight, I might lead people to sneak into Nanzhao Kingdom first.
I mentioned it to His Majesty yesterday. Zhenshuo Army, Seventh Brother and Xu Feng might join in."
He moved quickly and spoke quickly. After he finished speaking, everything was neatly packed. There was a eunuch waiting outside to pass on the message. Shen Li did not dare to delay any longer. He held Zhou Qing's face and kissed her forehead, then turned and went out.
Zhou Qing couldn't sleep after Shen Li left.
From the moment Nanzhao Kingdom poisoned and created the plague, Zhou Qing knew that the war between the two countries must be fought, but if it really had to be fought, she was worried.
In the palace.
When Shen Li arrived, Su Heng just came out of the imperial study. The two looked at each other, and Su Heng took a breath, "Don't worry."
This word of worry contains thousands of things.
Shen Li didn't say much, just patted Su Heng's shoulder heavily.
The next moment, the two ran to the direction they should go.
In the imperial study, the six ministers stood there.
The eunuch stood behind the emperor, "When I came back, General Xu had already led the Northwest Army to set off at full speed.
The barracks have their own food and grass, but if you want to march quickly, you can't bring too much.
It needs to be replenished immediately by the rear.
General Xu meant that instead of waiting for everything to be ready, it is better to take them by surprise. After all, the Nanzhao Kingdom has prepared everything. If we give them more time, it will be disadvantageous to us."
The food and grass should be sent before the troops move.
This is common sense in the military.
However, there was no time to prepare this time.
After the eunuch finished speaking, the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue clasped their fists together, "I will do my best to ensure that the soldiers will not suffer from cold and hunger."
They really want to fight this battle with the Nanzhao Kingdom.
They want to fight more than ever before.
No passionate man can tolerate the other side using such despicable means on their own land.
This breath is hard to swallow.
The emperor looked solemn, nodded and waved his hand, "You go and prepare, remember not to leak any news!"
The two adults took the order and turned to leave.
In the dark night, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
In the imperial study.
The emperor said to the remaining four ministers: "Your mission is to stabilize Prince Ping and others, and don't let the other side notice the military actions over there. In addition, cover up Shen Li's disappearance during this period."
After that, he looked at Shen Li.
"You leave immediately."
Shen Li thought that he would rush to Nanzhao Kingdom immediately once the war started, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Just now, he and Zhou Qing parted, and it turned out to be such a farewell.
But he had no choice.
Obeying orders is above all else.
"Yes."
Taking the order, Shen Li turned around and left.
Zhou's house.
Zhou Yao was packing up the manuscripts she had written tonight, and suddenly heard a very light knocking sound coming from the window lattice.
In the candlelight, a dark shadow outside was reflected on the window, it was a man.
Zhou Yao frowned, "Who?"
Su Heng's slightly unresonant voice sounded, "Who else could it be besides me? Don't tell me there was another man knocking on your window."
Hearing Su Heng's voice, Zhou Yao unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, walked to the window and opened it.
Su Heng made a pose that he thought was very cool, with a rose in his mouth.
When Zhou Yao opened the window, he put one hand on his waist, took the rose with the other hand, whistled and handed the rose forward.
Zhou Yao smiled and said, "You are not sleeping in the middle of the night, are you sick?"
Su Heng put the rose next to Zhou Yao, "I have to go on a long trip."
"Going on a long trip, aren't you going to take an exam soon?"
Su Heng didn't respond to her words, but said, "I will be away for at least half a year, at most a year. Tsk, when I come back, you will have reached the age of marriage.
You are so beautiful, kind, gentle and talented, and there will be many people who will come to our house to propose marriage."
Zhou Yao couldn't help laughing, "Have you eaten too many lemons, little brother?"
Su Heng sighed, then suddenly leaned forward and leaned close to Zhou Yao's ear, "Wait for me to come back, I will come to your house to propose marriage, okay?"
He suddenly leaned forward, and his warm breath rushed straight to his ears, and Zhou Yao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Bang bang.
It has never been so fast.
Subconsciously, she dodged to the side, but then she thought of Su Heng saying that he might not be back for a year, and she was a little reluctant to do it.
Just stood there and pursed her lips.
Su Heng tilted his head to look at Zhou Yao, "Aren't you hiding? Do you like me talking to you like this?"
Zhou Yao's face suddenly turned red.
Su Heng smiled and stepped back a little, saying very gently: "If you like it, wait for me, okay, wait for me to come back and marry you."
Zhou Yao lowered her head, her breath was not steady, her heartbeat was also too fast to be steady, "Why did you leave for so long, by yourself?"
"Can I understand this as a checkup? Then I'll report it, my uncle and I."
The night covered everything, and the next morning, the sun rose, and it was another day of fireworks and human life.
The common people didn't know what was about to happen, and the discussions on the streets and alleys were still cursing the Nanzhao Kingdom.
After Zhou Qing rushed Zhou Huaishan and Wang Jin to school, he went straight to the store.
When he entered, he heard Shen Xin sighing, "My Miss Zhou, this is frosting sugar, not salt. This is the third time, sister, this thing is very expensive, let's have some snacks, okay? What happened to you today?"
Zhou Yao blushed and lowered her head, "I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, I won't make the same mistake next time."
That's what she said, but she turned around with the bowl of noodles in her hand and threw the bowl into the small waste bin beside her.
Shen Xin was dumbfounded.
"Sister, that's the bowl! There's still some noodles I've let rise in it!"
Howling, Shen Xin hurried to the trash can to dig out the bowl. Seeing Zhou Qing coming, she complained aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, did something happen in your house last night? Why is our Miss Yao'er so absent-minded today!"
Take out the bowl and show it to Zhou Qing, "You can throw it away!"
Zhou Qing gave Zhou Yao a meaningful look.
Yesterday, Li Er brought a message that Shen Li had already left for Nanzhao.
Then according to what Shen Li mentioned before, Su Heng must have left Kyoto as well.
Tsk!
Is our Miss Yao'er missing him a little?
