Chapter 59: Interpretation

Looking down at her delicate and delicate face, Zhou Shengchen said slowly: "You always bow to me and are very respectful in front of others. To you, it is ordinary, but to me, I just feel that these are too much. It's too cumbersome. I can only say that you are telling me the word 'property' sternly."

Jian Shiyi laughed at first, and then shuddered: Yes, he and I have a master-disciple relationship. It is true that we cannot always be held by his hand, always held by him, and always snuggled into his words for warmth.

Even though she was reluctant to let go, she still came out of his arms and looked up at him.

Feeling cold in her arms, Zhou Shengchen looked back at her.

"My king." After saying this, he bowed down and bowed seriously. After that, she stood up again and said: "The world may only be so annoying, but how can I dare to be 'stern' to my king? Also, I think I do have a master-student relationship with my king, but the master is the master, not the master." Master!"

What a smart girl. Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but secretly praise him.

"Since my king is just my master, what's wrong with Shi Yi being willing to get close to my king?" Shi Yi gave himself reasons one after another, constantly encouraging himself and him.

Zhou Shengchen smiled gently and listened to her continue.

"What my king said to those people back then, now that I think about it, it seems that it was not God's will?" Nian Shiyi said anxiously, his face immediately turning red.

Unable to see her so shy again, Zhou Shengchen suddenly stretched out his arms and pulled her back into the brocade quilt at lightning speed, and into his arms.

"Shi Yi, just remember that I will always be with you and accompany you." Zhou Shengchen said softly, holding her slender waist tightly with one hand and patting her shoulder with the other, "You just When I arrived at the palace, even before you arrived at the palace, when you were still in the Chang'an Mansion, I had already decided - I will give you real warmth in this life, and I will never let you leave me in this life."

Nao Shiyi was moved when he heard this, and burst into tears in his arms. He then said intermittently: "My king, you actually had your determination at that time? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

She still spoke shyly, but her tone was very firm.

"The ten-year agreement is not because I am indifferent. It is because I want to create a peaceful world for us, where we can be sure to be warm and embrace each other forever." Zhou Shengchen said slowly.

Kao Shiyi had stayed in the palace for several years. Whether he heard about it or saw it with his own eyes, he knew that Zhou's birthday was a major event for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Now that she heard him say this solemnly, she was even more moved by the confirmation in person.

What's more, his words clearly included the ten-year agreement. This means that my king will officially marry her after knowing her for ten years?

Jian Shiyi's eyes were blurry, but he was carefully calculating in his heart: I arrived at the palace at the age of thirteen, which means that I will marry my king at the age of twenty-three?

Thinking about that day, she felt excited and her chest heaved. Although she was shy, she couldn't help but lament that there were still six years left.

My king, I just want to join hands with you as soon as possible, immediately, even now, and marry you. Thinking this, Ji Shiyi couldn't help but put her arms around his waist.

This made her feel warmer, safer, and safer. She knew that he had made a huge promise, so naturally she couldn't force him to change his vow. But her current state made her feel infinitely sweeter again, even sweeter than eating that kind of candy.

Zhou Shengchen felt that she was almost melting into his body in his arms, and he gave her a warmer and more tender embrace. Looking down, he saw Shiyi looking up. He stared at her big, undulating eyes and slowly moved closer to her cheek.

"Little one," the inn boy came in to deliver tea, but unexpectedly saw the two of them sitting on the ground, hugging each other tightly around the brocade quilt.

"Well, I didn't see anything. Let's go out now." The boy quickly put the tea tray on the floor, turned around and left quickly, and said, "That's right! Even if the young couple quarrels, they can't do it. What a shame! Otherwise, you will be delaying the most beautiful thing in the world!"

Nao Shiyi's face turned red with embarrassment, and she reluctantly got out of his arms and sat upright. Looking at him again, she said softly: "My king, you are in danger here, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for your orders. Shi Yi dare not delay your important event, let's go back to the north bank."

Nodding, Zhou Shengchen looked into the distance again and murmured: "It should be like this. But there are people who don't want us to leave so easily, and we can't say we want to stay here longer, as long as it's true I’m traveling here for fun.”

Jian Shiyi blinked in surprise and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Zhou Shengchen looked away, looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Shi Yi, I have my own arrangements. No matter whether we are friends or foes, we will return to the north bank safely."

Without asking any more questions, Jian Shiyi nodded vigorously to him with full trust and said with admiration: "Who in this world can stop my king?!"

Yan Shiyi's self-confidence is indeed justified. Zhou Shengchen's statement that some people would be unwilling to let him leave Nanxiao easily is naturally correct.

After Liu Changshan escaped, he left and reported to the local officials. First, Chen said that he had been "framed and wronged" and then fled from Beichen to Nanxiao. He then secretly kept the secret that the regent of Beichen and King Xiao Nanchen had also arrived in Jiangling City.

Local officials did not dare to underestimate this, and immediately ordered the garrison guards at various city gates to conduct a strict investigation of Zhou Shengchen's whereabouts, and then sent people to quickly send Liu Changshan to take a boat along the river east to Jinling to visit Emperor Xiao Xu.

Traveling along the river was already very fast, and Liu Changshan was eager to report, so he urged the sailing. Arriving at Jinling soon, he was immediately summoned by Xiao Xu.

Prostrating himself on the ground, Liu Changshan cried and complained about his "grievances." In order to make it more difficult for him to defect to the south, he even said that Zhou Shengchen followed and assassinated him all the way, but luckily escaped.

Mentioning again that Zhou Shengchen wanted to snatch back a female apprentice, Liu Changshan said bitterly: "A young apprentice can make Zhou Shengchen, who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, go south alone? This is an unprecedented miracle! Zhou Shengchen used this as an excuse to hunt me down, and even more to spy on Nan Xiao's military situation! All of these are detrimental to His Majesty!"

Emperor Xiao Xu remained silent for the time being, but all the civil and military ministers agreed.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Shengchen is now in Jiangling City. I have seen this with my own eyes. I beg your Majesty to send someone to capture and kill him, so that the world can return to your Majesty!" Liu Changshan cried and begged again.

When Xiao Xu learned about this, his heart was indeed disturbed. If Zhou Shengchen could really be captured, the hundreds of thousands of royal troops in Beichen would immediately fall into chaos because they were leaderless. And how could the generals from other vassal towns in Beichen compare with Zhou Shengchen's martial arts?

If Nanxiao's army takes the opportunity to move north quickly, even if it cannot capture the entire territory of Beichen, the area south of the Yellow River may no longer belong to Beichen, but will be assigned to Nanxiao.

This idea is beautiful, but Xiao Xu also has to take into account: the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have signed a ten-year peace treaty. This is a major event announced to the world and cannot be violated.

In the midst of the tangle, Xiao Xu first comforted Liu Changshan with kind words and ordered him to "rest for the time being and he will be put to good use in the future." Liu Changshan took a long breath, bowed and left.
