Chapter 442 Don’t Regret
There were people in Yuncheng who had been trained in various villages before, and later on, another group of people were recruited in Yuncheng. The total number of people was about two thousand.
Adding the three thousand elite soldiers brought by Zhanchuan, the defending force of Yuncheng alone can be said to be very strong.
When Zhou Yunshu brought Zhan Chuan and others back to the city, she seemed to be explaining Xinyun City to Zhan Chuan, but in fact she was also introducing it to Cui Hongbo.
"Every lesson is worth remembering. Based on the last time Cloud City was captured, I had people arrange for troops at the four city gates..."
When Cui Hongbo first listened to Zhou Yunshu's story, he suspected that she was deliberately misleading him.
But when he looked at the private soldiers advancing and retreating in the city in a measured manner, and at the people living and working in peace and contentment in the city, he began to have doubts.
So, having achieved this point, is Zhou Yunshu still really a pirate?
Even when the government of Yuncheng still existed, it could not do what Zhou Yunshu is doing now.
Zhou Yunshu and the people around her walked from dawn to dusk. After settling the 440 people brought in by Zhan Chuan, they brought the remaining 60 people back to the house where Zhou Yunshu and her friends lived.
After Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui returned, Cen Miaoying took Zhan Chuan's men to settle down.
Zhan Chuan glanced at the increasingly clever Cen Miaoying and continued to follow Zhou Yunshu. Cui Hongbo, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Yunshu and hesitated.
"Since we're here, why not eat first?"
After Zhou Yunshu said this, Cui Hongbo thought about it and nodded.
Now that you are here, let’s eat.
The worst that can happen is that you become a prisoner. At most, you can have a good meal as a last meal before being executed.
But when Cui Hongbo sat down at the banquet, the more he tasted, the more he felt something was wrong.
Why does this banquet look so much like a family banquet? If it were a family banquet, wouldn't it be inappropriate to let him come? He is just a prisoner. Are prisoners treated so well nowadays?
Zhou Yunshu didn't pay any attention to Cui Hongbo the whole time, as if he didn't exist.
Jing Gao, Fu Rong and others in the room initially paid some attention to Cui Hongbo, but later, when they saw that his dress was a little similar to Zhan Chuan, they tacitly classified him as Zhan Chuan's subordinate.
Who made him sit next to Zhan Chuan but not as imposing as Zhan Chuan?
Cui Hongbo had a very uncomfortable meal, so after the banquet was finally over, Cui Hongbo couldn't help but call Zhou Yunshu.
"Why don't you just tell me what your purpose is?"
Cui Hongbo collapsed into a straight line. Everything she did must have a purpose. The more she did, the greater the purpose for herself.
Cui Hongbo must get to the bottom of it, otherwise the feeling of a knife falling on his head at any time will be too devastating.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Cui Hongbo, who was wary, and smiled, "Isn't it obvious what I did? I want to win over Master Cui."
"Win me over?!"
"Yes, I think Lord Cui is also a man who loves his country and his people, so he wants to win you over." Zhou Yunshu looked at Cui Hongbo, who was frowning, and continued, "Didn't the Lord say that he wanted to live and die with Yuncheng?"
"But Cloud City is gone."
"What you see before you now is Cloud City."
They both said at the same time.
Zhou Yunshu smiled: "Isn't the Yuncheng in front of us Yuncheng?"
Cui Hongbo used what Zhou Yunshu had said before to stop Zhou Yunshu, "You said this is your private dock."
It had not been many hours since she said this, and she didn't want to tell herself that she had forgotten.
"For now, yes. We are the ones who gave Cloud City new life, aren't we?"
"I don't want to argue with you!"
"Master Cui, do you still remember your duties?"
Cui Hongbo looked at Zhou Yunshu without saying anything. He would never forget his duty, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles back to Yuncheng.
"My role in Yuncheng is like the role of the government in Yuncheng. However, I don't have any assignment from the court right now. If you want, I can have one."
Cui Hongbo frowned deeply. Zhou Yunshu's words clearly told him that she had connections in the court, so he'd better be obedient.
"Do you really think the person behind you can completely control the court?"
Zhou Yunshu thought seriously about her daughter Xixi and her father Ji Sheng, then nodded and said, "It should be possible."
Now it was Cui Hongbo's turn to be speechless.
"You don't have to give me an answer now. Time will tell. You can come to me anytime you want."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, she said to Dong Ge, who had been waiting at the door, "Take Master Cui down to rest."
"Does this count as house arrest?"
Zhou Yunshu laughed when she heard this. "No, you can leave if you want, but do you have any money on you?"
Cui Hongbo was speechless, he didn't.
"Of course, if you want to leave now, I can have someone prepare some silver for you."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, Cui Hongbo turned awkwardly to Dongge and said, "Lead the way. I'm tired."
Cui Hongbo left and Zhan Chuan appeared at the door again.
"master."
Zhou Yunshu said, "You will go back tomorrow. This period has been unsettling. I feel at ease with you in Dongchuan."
"yes!"
"If there's anything unusual, follow my eldest brother's instructions and keep a close eye on He Nianzhang."
"yes!"
After Zhan Chuan was taken away by Cen Miaoying, Zhou Yunshu returned to her room to continue reading the letter.
There were letters coming from the capital and Chunque. Zhou Yunshu planned to read them and then write two letters to send out separately.
The letters from the capital were delivered by Hai Dongqing. The first two letters were written by Ji Sheng, and the last one was written by Xixi.
Ji Sheng mainly wrote about Xixi's daily life, without any mention of the court or even Ji Mingzhu; the letter written by Xixi was even simpler, with only five unfamiliar big characters written in it: Xixi misses her mother.
Zhou Yunshu carefully put the letter Xixi wrote to her into the envelope, and then carefully put it into her own space. This was the first letter Xixi wrote to her, and she wanted to keep it well.
Haruzae's letter was also simple.
She said that they had rushed to Nanzhou and happened to meet Lin Fuyan as soon as they entered the territory of Nanzhou.
Well, it’s too coincidental, it’s a deliberate arrangement.
As for where Zhou Jianwu is, she hasn't found out yet. Once she finds him, she will write to Zhou Yunshu immediately.
Chunque wrote in the letter very concisely and clearly, but what actually happened was much more complicated than what was said in the letter.
For example, she and Yang Yuhao were intercepted by Lin Fuyan as soon as they entered Nanzhou, and it was unknown how he knew the whereabouts of Chunque and Yang Yuhao.
After that, Chunque didn't take any detours and was directly taken to the capital city of Nanzhou by Lin Fuyan's men.
Chunque and Yang Yuhao, who were dressed in women's clothes, were sitting in the banquet hall. Lin Fuyan, who was ready to meet them, had not appeared yet.
Chunque looked at the maids and servants around her and whispered to Yang Yuhao, "Young Master Yang, I can't outsmart him. It will be up to you in a while!"
Yang Yuhao looked at Chunque, who was honest and sincere, and asked, "What do you want me to say?"
Chunque nodded, "As long as I can leave."
"Then don't regret it, and don't refute me."
"good!"
What’s so difficult about this!
