In the coach's tent
Lu Zhenzhi carried Fu Tong'er behind the screen, put her on the bed, and reached out to undress her.
The voice of Deputy General Xiao came from outside the tent: "Is Master Jiu back?"
"Reporting to Deputy General Xiao! Master Jiu is carrying Miss Fu inside."
"Now? Master Jiu is doing that kind of thing in broad daylight?"
"Deputy General Xiao, if you have anything to do, please come in later. Otherwise, Master Jiu will blame you and you will suffer again."
“But I have something urgent to do now.”
——
Lu Zhenzhi came out from behind the screen and said, "Deputy General Xiao! What's the matter?"
When Xiao Pu heard the sound, he went in and saw that Jiu Ye was still dressed neatly, so he took the memorial and reported: "Jiu Ye, something happened." As he said that, he handed the memorial submitted by Shangyang County in the south to Lu Zhenzhi.
At this time, Fu Tong'er straightened her clothes and walked out.
"Deputy General Xiao." Fu Tong'er saluted.
Xiao Pu hurriedly returned the greeting: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Fu Tong'er had only been polite to him when they first met, and after that, he was the one who generally did the talking. She was so polite today—it must be that the master had provoked her again!
Lu Zhenzhi took the memorial and unfolded it. A ship carrying government silver had capsized in the Wei River, on the border between Shangyang and Liushui counties. The entire 1.2 million yuan in relief silver had sunk to the bottom of the river. Local authorities ordered underwater fishermen to salvage the silver for three days and three nights, but they lost more than ten of their own and never found a single ounce of silver.
With a bang, the memorial was thrown onto the desk.
"How audacious!" Lu Zhenzhi walked to the coach's seat and said, "Tong'er, come here and grind the ink."
Fu Tong'er was stunned. When the Ninth Master was angry just now, she seemed to see another person. Think about it, he is the Regent Prince, so it's not surprising that he acted like that just now. Who knows how terrifying he must be in the court...
Thinking about it, I went to his side, held the inkstone, and ground the ink...
At this time, Xu Junshi said outside: "Is Jiu Ye in there?"
Lu Zhenzhi put down the memorial and said loudly: "Military Advisor Xu, please come in!"
Military Advisor Xu was let in upon hearing the call, saying, "Master Jiu, a letter has arrived from the King of Qi."
Lu Zhenzhi nodded and said, "Bring it here."
Military Advisor Xu presented the letter.
Lu Zhenzhi opened the letter, and Fu Tong'er also glanced up...
Lu Zhenzhi looked back and asked, "Tong'er, are you interested in this too?"
"I, I was just taking a look. Who told you to call me over? I lowered my head and saw it."
Lu Zhenzhi turned back to continue reading the letter and said, "It's better to just take a look. This will save you from worrying all day about whether I'm sincere towards you."
"You!" Fu Tong'er simply sat down and slipped into the man's arms. "I want to see it this way. Regardless of whether the Regent Prince is sincere or not, this position is mine now."
Military Advisor Xu said, "Master Jiu, women are not allowed to interfere in government affairs."
Xiao Pu said, "Military Advisor Xu, that's wrong. Are there any women here? Miss Fu isn't a woman; she's the general's new recruit." Actually, what Xiao Pu meant was, is she a woman? At best, she's a tomboy. A woman, haha, she's worthy of being called a wild brat!
"Military Advisor Xu, right?" Fu Tong'er leaned against Lu Zhenzhi, and spoke with confidence. "Look at what's going on. Could it be that I'm still thinking of competing with your Ninth Master for the position of Regent Prince? Don't worry, I don't have such ambitions."
"You girl, you're so sharp-tongued..."
"Military Advisor Xu—!" Lu Zhenzhi raised his voice and held Fu Tong'er in his arms. "She is my woman."
Military Advisor Xu then said respectfully, "Yes, Master Jiu."
Lu Zhenzhi quietly read the letter from Qi. The writing system in Qi was slightly different from that of Dayan. Fu Tong'er didn't understand it for a long time, but she did get the general meaning.
"Qi received the Crown Prince's body and is planning to declare war on Dayan."
Fu Tong'er smiled, her eyes reddening. "Jiu Ye, Jiu Ye, we're going to have a war. If I had known, I wouldn't have quarreled with Jiu Ye."
Lu Zhenzhi put down the letter.
"Master Jiu, when do you plan to go?"
Military Advisor Xu said, "This needs to be reported to His Majesty for the final decision."
Fu Tong'er smiled, and two tears couldn't help falling: "Oh, isn't it Master Jiu who makes the final decision?"
"That's true," Military Advisor Xu said. "Nineth Master is the Regent of Great Yan. He only needs to consult the Emperor regarding when to go to war. Ultimately, it was Ninth Master who gave the order in the name of the Regent."
"So, when will you come back? Ten years?" Fu Tong'er turned her head and looked at the man's chest, tears streaming down her face. "Master Jiu, the doctor said, can I wait ten years?"
Lu Zhenzhi lowered his eyes to look at Fu Tong'er, who was crying uncontrollably in his arms, and said calmly: "Haven't I told you before that I have no true feelings for you. Tong'er, why are you still crying?"
"But I do!" Fu Tong'er roared, "I love Jiu Ye. From three years ago until now, no matter what Jiu Ye did, I tried to accept it. Jiu Ye is the Regent Prince, I tried to accept Jiu Ye's methods. Jiu Ye is the God of War, I tried to accept Jiu Ye's killing. Isn't that enough? Jiu Ye let Lan'er go, I was angry, but I didn't leave Jiu Ye. I've been waiting for Jiu Ye's explanation. As long as Jiu Ye explains, I will let it go. Isn't that enough? Jiu Ye is not sincere to me, and I can't do anything about it. Who made me young? There is no way... cough, there is no way to make Jiu Ye maintain his initial 'interest' in me."
Lu Zhenzhi suddenly remembered the ambiguous words he said to her the night he first met her: "I am a little interested in you." He didn't expect that she still remembered it until now.
At this moment, Xiao Pu suddenly laughed out loud: "Master Jiu, Military Advisor Xu, I think this trick will work."
Fu Tong'er was startled, turned her head and looked at Lu Zhenzhi with a frown: "You tricked me again, didn't you?"
