Chapter 14: This is the Beginning



Go to Beijing and take a look. This is what Duke Cheng said before.

At that time, no one suggested going to the capital, because they knew that going there would definitely be no good things. Miss Jun also said that there was a way to make him look seriously injured, but Duke Cheng still decided to go to the capital. One reason was to smoothly settle the identity of the Qingshan Army and give everyone the rewards they deserved, and the other reason was that he just wanted to take a look.

From being blocked from entering the capital to being impeached now, has he finally figured it out?

Miss Jun was silent for a moment.

"Are you disappointed?" she said, "Then are you going to give up the ten years of hard work that the North has put in?"

"Why?" Zhu Zan laughed sarcastically, "Meeting this group of people, what does ten or twenty years mean?"

Such an emperor.

Miss Jun had mixed feelings, such an emperor made loyal ministers feel disappointed and treacherous ministers were in power, which further proved that he was a tyrant and incompetent. She should be happy, but she really had nothing to be happy about.

Loyal ministers are disheartened, treacherous ministers are in power, the government is in chaos, the country is unstable and the people are uneasy, the people suffer and the vitality of the country is damaged.

"Where are you going first?"

Zhu Zan suddenly asked in my ear.

Miss Jun came to her senses and looked at him, seeming a little confused.

"Will you come home with me, or go to Jiuling Hall first?" Zhu Zan asked.

Something doesn't sound right.

"Let's go to Jiuling Hall." Miss Jun said, "There are some things you should talk to your father about first."

Zhu Zan said "oh".

"It's okay for us to tell our father about our affairs together..." He chuckled, "You are not an outsider. You are more like my father's son than I am."

Miss Jun was startled, then she said "Pooh".

Finally I know what is wrong.

What do you mean going home? Her home is Jiulingtang, okay? What do you mean going home with him?

"What's going on?" she said unhappily. "Why are you playing dumb? Don't you know what I want you to talk to your father about?"

Zhu Zan said "oh".

"Now I realize it," he said calmly, "I was wrong just now."

Miss Jun glanced at him and got on the horse without saying anything else.

The two of them went towards the capital one after the other. When they reached the city gate, Zhang Baotang and several others who had received the news also hurried over.

Knowing that Zhu Zan was in a hurry to go back and see Duke Cheng, no one mentioned the welcoming ceremony, but Zhang Baotang asked his attendant servant to bring over a package of roasted pig's trotters.

"County Lord, you guys are in such a hurry that you won't have time to eat or drink." He said with a simple smile, "Take this to cushion your hunger."

Miss Jun took it with a smile and ate a piece directly without putting it away.

Zhang Baotang swallowed the words that this would not taste good if it were eaten while hot.

"The county lord is very knowledgeable about food." He chuckled.

She is not a spoiled princess raised in the deep palace. She has also traveled far and wide. Such a person is naturally knowledgeable and knows best how to eat, drink and have fun in a not-so-good environment.

It turns out that she was not abandoned all those years, but she took the initiative to do what her heart desired.

Just like myself.

Zhu Zan couldn't help but laugh.

"Second brother, I don't mean to say that the county lord is a foodie, don't laugh." Zhang Baotang said nervously.

Zhu Zan’s smile froze.

He didn't mean to do that, did this bastard do that to him on purpose? It was so hard to stop this woman from having wild thoughts.

Miss Jun laughed.

"One more item won't do any good," she said, turning to look at Zhu Zan and smiling.

What is meant by "again" is that there was one before.

Idiot.

This is what I call her.

Zhu Zan felt inexplicably excited when he recalled the past. How come he happened to meet her at that time? How come she happened to be there among the vast crowd?

How else can this be explained except that it was God's arrangement?

The smile in his heart couldn't be suppressed and overflowed from the corners of his mouth and his eyes.

Zhang Baotang looked at the two people with a puzzled look on his face. Why did they laugh for no apparent reason? And why did they laugh so foolishly?

"But don't call me the county lord." Miss Jun said, remembering something.

Is it because it seems strange?

Zhang Baotang looked at her.

"It doesn't sound good, it sounds like a pig." Miss Jun said.

This is the first time I've heard of this! It's a pity that she could think of it! It's a pity that she dared to say it!

Zhang Baotang and others were stunned, as Miss Jun was already urging her horse forward.

"Second brother, look at her, she's not serious at all." Zhang Baotang said with a sigh, shaking his head.

"How can it be improper?" Zhu Zan said with a frown.

After saying this, he glared at Zhang Baotang again.

"She's a serious person, don't talk nonsense."

A serious person? Zhang Baotang looked at him in astonishment. How could she be serious? Besides, wasn't he the one who always said she was not serious?

Looking at Miss Jun riding a horse through the city gate into the city among a few people, Lu Yunqi, who was standing at the highest window of the tavern next to the city gate, still did not take his eyes off her.

"As the saying goes, it's easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature," he said. "A person's appearance can change, but it's very difficult to change their behavior. I finally understand why they look so alike."

Jiang Qianhu knew this sentence, but he didn't understand why it was said at this moment.

Are you talking about the Prince of Chengguo?

He looked at Lu Yunqi.

The sunlight was bright at noon in early winter, and Lu Yunqi's usually wooden face turned red like fire. The window that he was holding with his hands was making a slight cracking sound, and fine lines were spreading on the window.

"What the gentleman said is indeed true."

In a house in Boye, Baozhou, a Jin general said with emotion.

Although this house is located in the countryside, it is decorated very luxuriously and is obviously the property of a wealthy country gentleman.

Of course, at this time it already belonged to General Jin, and as for the country gentleman, he had either died or fled south.

General Jin was surrounded by five subordinates. They sat in a circle with tea sets in front of them and two maids were making tea.

It's just that the armor they were wearing didn't quite fit in with this supposedly elegant scene.

Of course, no one cared.

"At that time, everyone said that it was too dangerous to mobilize the whole country to attack. Especially when Duke Cheng attacked Yizhou and the fifth prince was almost killed, the emperor was hesitant. Doctor Yu repeatedly advised not to retreat and said that victory was possible." General Jin continued, "The emperor was very confused. First, the Zhou soldiers were fierce, and then they had unprecedented weapons. How could they win?"

"Yes." The subordinates sitting around him nodded one after another. "That weapon is indeed terrible. After asking for a long time, an old soldier said that it appeared several times more than 20 years ago. They said it was a divine weapon that fell from the sky, but then it disappeared. We thought the gods took it back, but we didn't expect it to appear again after such a long time."

"What kind of artifact is this? They are all man-made," said General Jin. "Doctor Yu then told the Emperor that as long as it was man-made, there was nothing to be afraid of."

"But that thing is really scary." One of the subordinates sitting around couldn't help but say, "How can Doctor Yu be so sure that we can win?"

General Jin smiled slightly.

"Doctor Yu said," he said, changing the subject, "because of the powerful officials in the court, no general will be able to make achievements outside for a long time."

He spoke this sentence in Zhou language.

Although the tone was strange, it was a standard northern accent, and it was obvious that he was imitating Doctor Yu.

The Jin generals stationed here all understood Zhou language to some extent, but it was too literary and it took them some time to understand, and then they burst into laughter.

"Doctor Yu is a genius." They said one after another while raising their cups of tea.

Everyone drank up and laughed wildly again. The two little maids couldn't help trembling in fear at the fierce laughter and didn't dare to raise their heads.

"Duke Chengguo Zhushan is finished, so we can implement our grand plan." A subordinate said excitedly after putting down his tea bowl.

General Jin waved his hand.

"No, Doctor Yu said this isn't over yet." He said, his expression cold and fierce. "It's not over yet, this is just the beginning."
