Wang Yanzhou stopped and asked seriously, "Oh? If it was just a casual remark, why did you call me over so seriously?"
Tang Chen adjusted his non-existent sideburns with considerable pride and said, "That's just to increase the credibility of what I said. Smart, isn't it?"
Wang Yanzhou just took what she said as true, and couldn't help but smile and pinched Tang Chen's little face: "For a moment, I really can't think of how to refute you."
Tang Chen straightened his back and said, "Then don't refute me. I heard them say that you were attacked by a group of zombies at Yuanmen, right? How is your research going now?"
Wang Yanzhou said solemnly, "That's all for now. Apart from what Hong Yu said, I haven't found any other valuable information since then."
Tang Chen also said, "I'm worried about Qinghe and Chenxin right now. We're fine in Qingliang, and we can handle these zombies as long as we unite. But Jingji and Qinghe County are now under the control of Tianshu Tower, and that mother Gu is also in Tianshu Tower's hands. What if they think Chenxin and Qinghe are too much of a nuisance and do something terrible? What should we do then?"
Tang Chen's thoughts were naturally shared by Wang Yanzhou and the others, but they really couldn't do anything about the living dead. He had previously discussed this with Hong Yu. If they couldn't find a solution in the next few months, they would have to cross over to Nanyue and ask for help from the Huangfu family. "We've been worried about this lately, but we haven't come up with a good solution yet. We can only send people to Jingji and Qinghe County to contact them and add more people to protect them."
In fact, Tang Chen suddenly thought of something while taking care of the children. Think about it, no matter how good the relationship between two children is, there will always be unhappy times. At this time, she acts as a mediator, explaining the reasons to the two children, acting as a lobbyist for both sides, and finally helping them resolve the dispute happily.
If this method can work between children, why not try it between Daliang and Nanyue? She had always wondered why these two countries, when at war, simply fought and ignored peace talks. "Yanzhou, I don't think Shi Zairong would resort to such a treacherous scheme to seize power. How about we send an envoy to talk to them?"
Wang Yanzhou didn't answer Tang Chen directly, but instead asked, "When we were at Wang Ruo's place just now, from what you said, it seemed like you had known Shi Zairong for a long time?"
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment. She had just mentioned Shi Zairong in an attempt to convince them that her speculation was reasonable. She hadn't noticed any change in Wang Yanzhou's expression at the time and had assumed he hadn't heard her or something. Since he had asked her so sincerely, she decided not to hide it anymore: "Um, well, don't be angry if I tell you."
Wang Yanzhou smiled and replied, "I'm not angry, go ahead and talk."
Tang Chen explained, "Didn't Shuyi and I pick up a thug and stay with him for a few days? That thug was him. I was shocked when I found out he was the Nanyue Imperial Preceptor, but since we were from the same hometown, I didn't dare tell you. Don't worry, I made all the arrangements for him during his stay. Not only did he not get anything, but I even stole some things from him."
Wang Yanzhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Great, it was just a chance encounter. As long as Tang Chen hadn't made friends without telling him, especially a close male friend, it would be fine. "Since there's no loss, then it's fine. But from now on, just pretend it never happened and don't tell anyone you meet."
Tang Chen blinked and said, "I'm not that stupid yet, don't worry. By the way, what do you think of my suggestion just now?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "I don't agree."
Hearing this, Tang Chen's face suddenly became long: "I think it's great. Why don't you agree? Give me a reason first."
Wang Yanzhou said righteously, "There is no reason. Even if we really want to send an envoy, that person will definitely not be you. I don't agree."
Tang Chen said quickly, "As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed. Besides, since we know each other, he won't do anything to me without saying a word. I think we can give it a try. After all, if the matter of the living dead really gets out of hand, it won't just be a matter between Nanyue and Daliang."
Wang Yanzhou held his forehead with a headache and said, "...I will discuss this matter with everyone and then make a decision."
Tang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
After saying that, Tang Chen took Wang Yanzhou's hand and was about to continue walking forward to the military camp, but Wang Yanzhou picked her up, took two steps back in the direction they came from, and put her on a big rock beside the road: "Okay, as for you, I'll take you here."
Tang Chen asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't you ask me to go back to the barracks with you?"
Wang Yanzhou gently scratched her nose and said, "A military camp is a place where women are not allowed to enter without permission. Violators will be punished according to military law."
Tang Chen said with disbelief written all over his face: "Then why is it okay for me to go there sometimes? And didn't Shu Yang live in your barracks for a long time before moving to the thatched cottage?"
Wang Yanzhou explained softly and slowly, "You'll only be here for a short while, so everything will be fine. Besides, Shu Yang was secretly sent in disguised as a woman, so your situation is different. Your main task now is to stay home and help me look after the children and the family. If everyone agrees that your proposal is acceptable, I'll have Nianqing tell you. Is that all right?"
"Then I have no objection." After saying that, Tang Chen jumped down from the rock and walked forward a few steps. He looked back and saw Wang Yanzhou still standing there looking at him, so he said, "Then, I'll go back now."
Wang Yanzhou smiled and nodded, "Yes."
After Tang Chen took a step, he turned back and said, "I'm really leaving!"
"Um."
Tang Chen took another step and turned back. Wang Yanzhou was still standing there, smiling at him. Tang Chen looked at the clouds in the sky with amusement, then waved at him and said, "Bye, I'm really going back this time!"
“…”
However, this time, Tang Chen looked down at the corner of his clothes that suddenly appeared behind him, and couldn't help but smile. He whispered, "How about taking a break today and coming back with me?"
"……good."
The two of them walked hand in hand as if they were out for a stroll, and walked back the way they had come. Tang Chen thought that even if he couldn't spend his whole life with Wang Yanzhou, it didn't matter.
