Yu Fei left angrily. Seeing this, Zhang Wuji quickly ran a few steps towards her. The concern on his face was beyond words.
However, before he could open his mouth, Yu Fei took the lead and said, "Don't worry, sir. I can't bear to leave you, so I will be careful about everything."
"I have remembered everything you said just now, and I will pass it on to Zhang Dingbian without missing a word."
"But when I come back, you have to reward me well."
Zhang Wuji no longer cared about the other people around him, he just gave Yu Fei a big hug: "Miss Yu, I remember everything you have done for me in this life."
"You must come back safely. When the time comes, even if you want to kill me, it's alright."
After hearing this, Yu Fei felt warm in his heart: "Young Master, I will not take your life."
"If I take your life, I will die too."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Yu Fei broke free from Zhang Wuji's arms and turned away again.
The back figure looks a little lonely.
Yang Buhui quickly said, "Sister Yu, let me go with you."
"Although nothing will happen on the road, the two of us being together at least means we have someone to look after each other. At least we can talk while we are on the road."
Yu Fei turned around and smiled, "I will remember your kindness, sister Buhui."
"But it's enough to bother me alone, there's no need to add another one."
"Just wait for me. Even if you are no longer in Luzhou when I come back, I will still find a way to find you."
…
Yu Fei left, his back still looking somewhat lonely.
Even Zhao Linger felt a little distressed when she saw this kind of back view.
She now regrets her previous attitude.
She knew that if she pretended to go there in person, Yu Fei would stop her.
It's a pity that I chose such an arrogant method.
This method is not only offensive but also undesirable. We must never do this again in the future.
…
After a moment's silence, Zhou Zhiruo walked to Zhao Linger and said, "Old woman, looking at the expression on your face, are you feeling sorry for your junior sister?"
Zhao Linger did not argue with her, but told the truth: "Well, I feel sorry for this girl. After all, she was raised by me and has been with me for almost twenty years. From now on, I can't bully her anymore."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "This is the most conscientious thing you have said in recent years."
"It's actually not easy for your junior sister."
"But don't worry, she will be back, maybe in a month. If it's faster, it might be in twenty days."
Zhao Linger remained silent because she didn't know what to say.
Zhou Zhiruo rarely saw her like this, so she didn't make any more sarcastic remarks.
She turned to Zhang Wuji and said, "My dear, do you still remember what I said to you a few days ago?"
Zhang Wuji smiled bitterly: "I remember, of course I remember. You said that we only have 20,000 soldiers now, and the reduction in numbers is severe. So when the number of soldiers is reduced to about 10,000, we should find a way to calm down."
"We have taken Luzhou today, and we have suffered more than 3,000 casualties. Jiangnan is more chaotic than before, but our situation is probably even more difficult."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Yes, this is Jiangnan. After all, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's territory."
"There are almost no logistical supplies, and everything has to be looted. But what about the injured soldiers? They are just injured, not dead, and they also need care."
"Therefore, although we nominally still have about 10,000 combat-ready troops, the actual number is far less."
"According to my thinking, we should actually move towards the north now, at least not too far away from our main force. In this way, even if any accidents occur, we will still have emergency measures."
Zhang Wuji turned and looked at Zhao Linger: "Sister, what do you think?"
Zhao Linger smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I can't say for sure about this. I think what Sister Zhiruo said makes some sense, but even if you put forward an opposite opinion, I'm afraid I will also think it makes sense."
Zhao Linger turned to look at Su Tanmei again: "Sister Su, you should speak."
"After all, you are a talented woman. I hope you can say something useful."
After hesitating for a moment, Su Tanmei said to Zhang Wuji: "Your Majesty, this is Luzhou, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. You took it with only more than 3,000 casualties. Although those casualties were not me, I still have to say that it is worth it to take Luzhou at such a price."
"As for what Sister Zhou said just now about leaning towards the north, I think it is a bit inappropriate. According to my guess, Zhu Yuanzhang has just begun to withdraw his troops, and Jiangnan will still be empty in the short term."
"Moreover, even if Zhu Yuanzhang's army returned to provide support, the first thing he would deal with would be the Japanese pirates in the southeastern coastal areas."
"Those Japanese, relying on their huge fleet, will continuously send reinforcements to the coastal areas. If the problem is not resolved quickly, the problem will become bigger and bigger. As for our threat to him, I think Zhu Yuanzhang is a Han Chinese after all. In the end, it doesn't matter who will take over the country, but it must not fall into the hands of the Japanese."
"Therefore, I think we will not encounter any irreversible situation for the time being. If possible, we can stay in Luzhou to recuperate for a while. So far, Luzhou is the largest and most important town that Your Majesty has conquered in Jiangnan. So many people died. In the final analysis, it was just to establish the authority of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan. Now that Luzhou has been taken, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not send a large army to conquer us, we should stay for a while."
"Maybe in a few days, the situation will change again."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Linger nodded slightly and said, "What you said does make some sense."
"Just for what you said today, it's worth my hard work to keep you by my side."
…
Zhang Wuji gave Su Tanmei a meaningful look.
In fact, what she said just now coincided with what Zhang Wuji was thinking.
He also felt that Zhu Yuanzhang should have no time to take care of other things at this moment, so he risked the lives of more than 3,000 people to capture Luzhou at this time.
If Zhu Yuanzhang had not almost drained all the troops in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Wuji might not have been able to take down such a large military town even if he suffered ten times more casualties.
…
"Your Majesty, what I just said is just my own shallow opinion. It doesn't mean anything. I just hope Your Majesty will not laugh at me."
Seeing that Zhang Wuji was just staring at her blankly, Su Tanmei started to explain again.
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Miss Su's words are exactly what I want and coincide with my thoughts."
Zhao Linger pinched Su Tanmei's face and said, "You girl, you can actually guess what the young master is thinking. You are going too far. I am too lazy to think about the young master's thoughts, so why should you think about it?"
"Tonight, I will punish you by making you consummate your marriage with the young master. Since you are still a girl, I will use you to dispel the murderous aura from the young master."
