Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at Zhang Wuji and said, "My dear, don't breathe so heavily when you speak next time. I thought you dared not take me with you."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Zhiruo, how could I not take you with me? On the first night we slept together at Guangmingding, I promised you that I would take you with me no matter where I go in this life."
Zhao Linger said: "Hey, hey, hey, you two, stop flirting here, I will be jealous and envious."
Afterwards, Zhao Linger asked Zhou Zhiruo, "You little slut, didn't you say before that the first time you were with the young master was in Dadu? How come it became Guangmingding now? Which of the words from your mouth is true?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Old woman, don't get the wrong idea. That year, after the battle of Guangmingding, I did sleep in the same room with Zhang Wuji that night, but, but we didn't do anything. This is a matter of conscience, and you are not allowed to wrongly accuse me."
Zhao Linger said with a look of doubt: "He didn't do anything. How is this possible? You and the young master slept in the same room, how could he remain a virgin?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "What I said is true. Zhang Wuji was very honest during the first period of time when he was with me. At that time, I really thought he was a gentleman."
Zhao Linger's face was still full of doubt: "I don't believe it. Even if the young master is a gentleman, you little vixen are not a good thing. You are like this now. Who knows how seductive you were a few years ago."
There was no way to defend herself. At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo also understood the feeling of being wronged that Zhang Wuji had just felt.
Some things cannot be explained. Even if what you say is true, there will be people who deliberately choose not to believe it.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo missed the simple time she and Zhang Wuji had spent together. Although that time only lasted for a few days, at least during that time, Zhou Zhiruo was not like she is now, guarding against Zhang Wuji everywhere, just like guarding against a thief.
…
After lunch, Zhao Linger and Gong Yu left.
After seeing the two of them leave, Zhou Zhiruo returned to her normal expression. She said to Zhang Wuji lightly, "Zhu'er and the others have only been in Dadu for a few days. Since we are going to the battle tomorrow, you should go and accompany them tonight and say some comforting words to them, so that they won't still look reluctant to leave tomorrow morning."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Zhiruo, don't worry, I will comfort them."
"But I'm afraid you will suffer again in the coming period of time."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Don't give me that. I'm not as pampered as you think. I, Zhou Zhiruo, have also lived a hard life. As long as you can take me with you wherever you go, I will feel at ease wherever I go."
…
It has been decided.
Zhang Wuji also knew that some things had come to an end. If he did not eliminate Zhao Min first, he would never be able to concentrate on the decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang. The world had been ruled by the Mongols for too long and had also been divided for too long. If he did not seize the time to unify the world, more people would suffer from the war.
Afterwards, Zhang Wuji called Yin Yewang, Wei Yixiao, and Zhang Dingbian to his side.
Through a simple narration, Zhang Wuji explained his plan to the three of them.
Finally, Zhang Wuji advised Zhang Dingbian: "General Zhang, now you are needed to take charge again. Zhu Yuanzhang has retreated temporarily, and the probability of him making a comeback in a short time is not high. However, there are still more than 100,000 troops of the Yuan court in Zhigu Village, hundreds of miles away from Dadu. Therefore, you have to pay more attention to the movements over there."
"Also, when we joined forces with Zhu Yuanzhang, we were using the slogan of expelling the barbarians and restoring China. This slogan can still be used. We have occupied Dadu, which is already the most prosperous and densely populated area in the north."
"Therefore, during the time I'm away, you have to recruit soldiers and horses, and I will find a way for you with food and wages. Once Zhao Min is defeated, it will be time for us to go to war with Zhu Yuanzhang, so you have to hurry. This time I am conquering Longcheng, and Miss Gong is not among the people going on the expedition. She will continue to stay in Dadu. If you have any questions, you can ask her for advice."
Zhang Dingbian quickly knelt on the ground and said: "I will obey your majesty's orders. During your absence, I will form a new army as soon as possible."
Zhang Wuji smiled and helped him up: "Then I'll have to trouble you, General Zhang."
Afterwards, Zhang Wuji turned his gaze to Wei Yixiao and Yin Yewang: "Generals, I still say the same thing, the world is right in front of us, and every battle we fight is one less. You should work hard today and select 60,000 soldiers who are good at riding and shooting from the army. We will set out tomorrow morning."
Wei Yixiao and Yin Yewang also hurriedly took the order and left.
…
After the three of them left, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo arranged many trivial matters.
It was not until it got dark that the two of them returned to the imperial city hand in hand.
Zhou Zhiruo looked at the tall palaces in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "Time seems to have passed very quickly. I remember when we first came to Dadu, you promised me that after you unified the world, you would let me choose a palace in the imperial city of the Yuan Empire as your future residence."
"I didn't expect that I would have to leave again before I had the time to choose."
Zhang Wuji said guiltily: "Zhiruo, it's really hard for you to follow me."
"We will definitely come back. If you like, I can even give you the Daming Palace."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Don't give me that. I don't like that kind of place. The Daming Palace is very spacious. I like a smaller place, but it must have flowers and grass. The house doesn't have to be too big, just enough for the two of us."
"It's just that the place I like is not easy to find in this imperial city. When we come back again, I will choose a place myself, and then you can find someone to build a house like this for me."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "As long as you like, I can give you any kind of house."
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji affectionately and said, "You are a smooth talker, but I like your smooth talk more and more now."
"We'll talk about the future later. But tonight, you and Zhu'er and the others should be quiet. We are leaving tomorrow, so don't delay our trip."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhang Wuji's face again: "Zhiruo, how can you think of me like this? I am a serious person and I don't understand what you are saying at all."
