"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji with contempt and said, "If you were a serious man, there would be no dishonest man in the world."
"You accept everyone who comes to you. I really admire you. It's okay to pretend that you don't like it."
Zhang Wuji said awkwardly, "Zhiruo, at least, at least I didn't take the initiative to go out and mess around with other girls. In this regard, I performed pretty well, right?"
Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhang Wuji fiercely, but still said: "You did a good job on this point, but there are already enough women around you. If you dare to go out and mess around with other women again, I will turn you into a eunuch."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji was shocked: "Zhiruo, can you, can you bear to do that?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Whether you are willing to give it up or not, we can talk about it later, but first, I want to see if you have the courage to take the initiative to flirt with other girls. Don't blame me for not reminding you, this is my bottom line, my bottom line cannot be trampled upon."
…
Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo were flirting with each other as they walked towards the depths of the imperial city. Just when their eyes were fixed on each other, Ye Heling walked up to them cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, Fairy Sister, the Queen has prepared the meal."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "I'm a little hungry, please lead the way."
The imperial city is very large and there are many palaces in it. It is not like the mansion they had in Jinyang. If there is no one to lead the way, it will be difficult for Zhang Wuji and his friends to find Zhao Linger and the others.
…
Zhao Linger had already become the queen. As the queen, she should manage the already small harem for Zhang Wuji.
Zhao Linger often reminded herself that the harem she was in charge of now only had a handful of people. It would be too embarrassing if she couldn't figure out what was going on with these few people.
Therefore, after having lunch with Zhang Wuji, she found Zhu'er and the others.
Zhao Linger had already told Zhu'er and the others in advance that Zhang Wuji would be going on another expedition tomorrow.
At the beginning, Zhu'er naturally didn't believe it, because she didn't want to choose to believe it. She had come here with great difficulty for only a few days, and she hadn't enjoyed the good days enough, but Zhang Wuji was leaving again. Zhu'er, who had a cheerful heart, was naturally very upset about this.
Zhao Linger knew that Zhu'er would be like this, so she came over in advance to comfort her.
…
When Ye Heling brought Zhang Wuji to Zhao Linger, he found that the considerate queen had already prepared a table full of delicious food.
Many beautiful women also put on exquisite makeup on their faces, and they were all quietly waiting for their Emperor.
Yu Fei spoke first and said, "Master, you are going to conquer Longcheng this time, and my injury has not healed yet, so I can't accompany you."
Although Yu Fei forced a smile when she said this, Zhang Wuji still saw a look of loss in her eyes.
Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Yu, you must recover quickly. With your great skills, it would be a shame if you don't go into battle to kill the enemy. You should recover quickly and come back to me sooner."
After hearing this, Yu Fei quickly said: "Of course, this imperial city is not suitable for me. I will recover as soon as possible. After I recover, I will come to find you. There is nothing in this world that can make me happier than accompanying you in the battlefield to kill the enemy."
Then, Zhang Wuji turned his gaze to Zhu'er and Han Zhao.
However, before he could speak, Zhu'er said first: "Brother Wuji, you don't have to comfort me. I know that I don't have the ability to protect myself. Even if I stay by your side, I will definitely be a burden. I, although I can't help you with anything, I will never be a burden to you."
"I will stay in Dadu waiting for your return. You don't have many opponents left, but we have to make it clear in advance that after you eliminate Zhao Min, you have to come back as soon as possible. The life without you is meaningless."
Han Zhao said, "That's true. The days without you are a bit boring, but fortunately, the wars that need to be fought will be over sooner or later. After you unify the world, you can stay in this imperial city and handle government affairs every day. In the evening, your sisters can still see you. Such a happy life will be."
After a few pleasantries, Zhao Linger said, "Young Master, let's talk while we eat. Besides, I have something else to tell you."
After Zhang Wuji sat down, Zhao Linger continued, "Master, my junior sister cannot accompany you on this expedition, but I have arranged a very important thing for her."
"This Yuan capital has been controlled by the Mongols for a hundred years, and you are the first Han Chinese to recapture this place in more than four hundred years. However, within a few hundred miles around this capital, almost everything has been swept away by Zhao Min."
"Long before Zhu Yuanzhang came here, Zhao Min began to fortify the city and clear the countryside. Now there is a shortage of food, and the soldiers' salaries need to be increased."
"I have temporarily handed over all my Jiangnan businesses to my junior sister. If nothing unexpected happens, I can still help with the food and salary. However, after this effort, I'm afraid the businesses under my control will really need to be recuperated for a period of time. If they can't make ends meet for a long time, it will be like killing the chicken to get the eggs, which is not cost-effective."
Yu Fei also said: "Senior sister is in Jiangnan, and she can probably transfer more than two million taels of silver. This money will be transported to Dadu in batches to provide military supplies here. As for food, the transportation of food may be more difficult. After all, Jiangnan is Zhu Yuanzhang's territory. But I will try my best to find a way to transfer it."
"After all, we need to feed not only our soldiers, but also the people nearby who have already occupied Dadu. We naturally cannot let them starve. At the very least, I will try my best to ensure that no one starves to death."
Zhang Wuji was just about to tell Zhao Linger about this matter. He asked Zhang Dingbian to expand the army, which would require a large sum of money and food.
But Zhao Linger started to think about Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji felt guilty and said to Zhao Linger, "Sister, I'm lucky to have you these years. You have helped me so much. I know you don't care about money, but after I unify the world, I will still repay you. Let's make it clear that you are not allowed to refuse anything I give you."
Zhao Linger smiled slightly: "Okay, since you have said so much, then I will make a promise to you."
"After you unify the world, please hand over the silk business to me. My junior sister and I both have a talent for business. Although they are just some low-class tricks, they can make money. As long as you hand over the silk business to me, I promise to make a sum of money for you every year that you can't imagine. This money will be considered your private property and can be used for the expenses of the sisters in the harem. It can also be used for other things when needed."
