Taisun Mansion · Gate

"Really Liu, please!"

Zhou Licheng, who was leaving, did not go alone, but stretched out his hand to let Liu Zhan sit down, took the seat himself, handed Liu Zhan a hand stove, said "Get up", and the bullock cart slid out steadily.

Both of them didn't speak for a while, the weather was light snow, the streets were covered in snow curtains, vaguely vague, there were almost no pedestrians in the streets and alleys, only the hooves of the cows stepped in the snow water, and the snowflakes drifted down, hitting Listening to the sound on the felt tent.

After a long time, Zhou Licheng squinted his eyes, looked outside, and sighed: "The real person may be surprised, why did he take the liberty to invite, it's just that Zhou's daughter came back not long ago, but it's very different from before, so..."

Zhou Licheng's hesitant appearance made Liu Zhan immediately understand why he invited himself to the mansion at night.

It turned out that something happened to Zhou Licheng's daughter, and he hoped that he could help to see if his beloved daughter had messed with something unclean.

This matter is indeed sooner rather than later.

"Since Mr. Zhou said so, I will go and have a look." Liu Zhan squinted his eyes.

Although he knew that Liu Zhan would agree, Zhou Licheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Liu Zhan would agree, and at the same time felt a little helpless in his heart. . .

The sudden disappearance of his daughter Zhou Yao made him and his wife feel anxious, but they were afraid of ruining their daughter's reputation, so they always sent people to look for them quietly without any fanfare.

Just when she had lost hope of finding her daughter, Zhou Yao returned safely.

But the returning daughter has changed a lot from the past.

First of all, Zhou Yao has become more beautiful. Of course, this kind of beauty can still make familiar people distinguish facial features. It is more about changes in temperament. The facial features are more refined, the skin is better, and the temperament is more refined. The subtle changes are blended in Together, they form a stunning beauty.

But this kind of daughter makes Zhou Licheng and his wife feel uneasy. Even if they can tell that this is indeed their daughter, such a big change, and the reason why they refuse to tell the truth no matter how much they ask, make the couple anxious. .

The friendship between Zhou Licheng and Liu Zhan is not very deep, but they can also strike up a conversation, so they decided to ask him to come to the mansion to help him take a look.

If there is something wrong with my daughter, I hope I can help to solve it. If there is nothing wrong, the couple will no longer be suspicious.

There was nothing to say on the road, and they arrived at the Zhou Mansion very quickly. As soon as they entered the door, Zhou Licheng immediately confessed: "You go and invite Miss to my study."

"Yes!"

Zhou Licheng took Liu Zhan to the study first, and then went in. He saw that the servant had just lit a charcoal fire and put it directly in the copper basin to bring some warmth to the cold study.

"I'm laughing." Zhou Licheng said with a wry smile at this moment.

"This is the love of adults, how can you laugh at it?" Liu Zhan took the hot tea and looked around. There were books, and some of them were depreciated. It seemed that they were not decorations.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Yao hadn't fallen asleep yet, and after a while, Zhou Yao's voice sounded outside the study door: "Father, my daughter is here."

"Yao'er, come in and see what father brought back for you." Zhou Licheng immediately said to the outside, and glanced at Liu Zhan at the same time.

The door was pushed open, and the girl walked in slowly from the outside. Liu Zhan looked over, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Ordinarily, at Zhou Yao's current age, it is somewhat inappropriate to call her a girl.

But she seemed to be frozen in the time when she was a young girl. She had a cold look, but she became charming in a blink of an eye. She couldn't pick out any flaws. What's more, she had an indescribable charm on her body.

No, not just flavor.

Although Zhou Licheng was a little suspicious of his daughter, the man who had been in the officialdom for a long time did not show it at all. After his daughter came in, he asked her to salute Liu Zhan, and lovingly handed her the manuscript that had just been put in the box: "Yaoer, you Look, what is this?"

Zhou Yao took it over, flipped through it, and immediately recognized that it was Su Ziji's poems and articles.

She didn't seem to care much about Liu Zhan, she glanced at him, and then she was fascinated by the article. Zhou Licheng was in a complicated mood, but he continued to say: "The people in Taisun's mansion asked Weifu to compile these manuscripts into an anthology and publish them. In two days, you can take a look at the manuscript, and make corrections along the way, and when you need it, I will ask you for it for my father."

Zhou Yao raised her head, a faint smile finally appeared on her expressionless face: "Thank you dad."

"You are my daughter, thank you for what you are talking about." Zhou Licheng said with a smile, looking at Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan had been sitting all the time, his expressionless face was even more expressionless at the moment, but Zhou Licheng subconsciously swallowed his expressionless face, and his eyes fell on his daughter. Although the daughter smiled lightly, she was still calm. Light, as if no matter what happened, she couldn't make her have big mood swings.

"Everything is out of mind."

Is the girl in front of her still her own daughter?At this moment, Zhou Licheng even had this idea in his heart, which made his heart beat.

Because Zhou Licheng was not alone here, and Liu Zhan was there, Zhou Yao didn't stay in Zhou Licheng's study for too long. She said good night to her father, said goodbye to Liu Zhan, and left.

"Really, you just...why did you look surprised?" Zhou Licheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked when his daughter left.

Liu Zhan said hesitantly: "Your daughter...the poor are a bit hard to see through."

"The real man's words made Zhou even more uneasy." Zhou Licheng's eyelids twitched.

Liu Zhan didn't say that his daughter was fine, but that he couldn't see through it. Doesn't it mean that something was wrong with her daughter?
"But it's not like I didn't see anything, but if you look carefully, the auspicious aura of the noble daughter is lingering, and it seems to be unspeakably expensive. It can be said...with a phoenix aura..."

"Phoenix Qi?" Zhou Licheng was stunned, this was something he had never thought about before.

This is also the reason why Liu Zhan hesitated, he pondered for a moment, the indescribable phoenix aura, like wisps of smoke, shrouded his brows, and at this moment, it seemed that there was a little more.

Everything is not out of thin air, where did it come from, and who did it fulfill?
Taisun Mansion

"what?"

Seeing from the steps, snowflakes were falling outside, Su Ziji suddenly let out a cry of surprise, the anxiety and palpitations subsided a lot.

He touched the very well-behaved fox lying in his arms, thoughtfully.

"Could it be, is there any change in Dragon Palace?"

Seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, the snow on the ground was deep and covered with a thick layer, remembering the orders from the palace just now, saying that he was going to enter the palace, Su Ziji didn't think about it anymore, he heard footsteps, and turned his face to look , saw Zeng Nianzhen striding over, even under the light, he couldn't see clearly, just saluted respectfully.

The two were silent for a while, Su Ziji said lightly: "The emperor may not be kind to me, you know that."

"I understand."

"If there is a year, how many more people can I have?"

Zeng Nianzhen understood immediately, and thought for a while: "My lord, if you give me a year, at least there will be 500 more people."

The total number of 1000 people is not too small. Li Shimin only had 800 people back then.

In addition to the Fuwei, and the Habayashi Guard that may be pulled out, although compared with the military power controlled by the emperor, it is simply the difference between a small stream and a big river, but there are one or two thousand soldiers who are loyal to him. Can play a big role in critical moments.

Su Ziji nodded: "I only trust you alone in the matter of training soldiers. You still need to deal with this matter. Remember, don't let the outside find out. The soldiers you train will be Gu's trump card."

"I understand!"

"Also, you must have exposed your traces. If you say that you don't do anything at all, it is unreasonable. You should build the plank road openly, keep the warehouse in secret, and send your soldiers back first."

Zeng Nianzhen was thoughtful: "Yes, I understand. Your training is still overseas, and the current people will also go back."

"But the minister is running around again, soliciting so-called martial arts masters and disciples for the lord."

"Shan, that's right." Su Ziji was very satisfied. The so-called martial arts masters and disciples are actually not useful, but Zeng Nianzhen's running around for it can make people feel at ease.

Seeing that the car driver had arrived, Su Ziji patted him on the shoulder: "Go and do it!"
