"Go in." At the entrance of Julu Academy, Ito Cheng reached out and patted the nervous Shan Lan on the shoulder, and said softly.

"Yes." Shanlan nodded slightly, followed Ito Cheng through the gate of the academy and walked into the academy.

"Hold the sword!"

A female voice as clear and crisp as an oriole came out from the academy.

"Sword stabbing!"

After a pause, he heard the female voice continue to shout.

"Breaking sword!"

"Cut your wrists!"

"Pick up the sword!"

"...I heard it, your sister is very energetic." At this time, Ito Cheng, who had already led Shanlan to the renovated campus, said with a smile.

"Yes." Shanlan nodded heavily, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Then the two of them turned around, passed through the moon gate, and entered the school grounds.

In an instant, a sword-practicing phalanx formed by hundreds of male and female students wearing blue-green tailored robes that looked like Confucian uniforms and were very suitable for sports, and a man wearing a black warrior uniform, holding a wooden board about a foot long. The handsome woman walking among the students caught their eyes.

The moment she saw the woman, a touch of excitement immediately appeared on Shanlan's face. With tears in her eyes, she covered her lips with her hand to prevent herself from making any noise and disturbing the woman who was teaching.

Seeing Shanlan's performance, Ito Cheng patted her shoulder with understanding, then looked forward and called out, "Jiaoxi Zhao."

Teacher Zhao - Zhao Zhi was stunned when he heard the sound, then stopped and turned to look to the side of the school field.

"Master Hou?" Zhao Zhi said in astonishment.

She remembers it. Marquis Julu should be on the front line at this time, why did he suddenly come back?

"Come. Take a look at the gift I gave you." Ito Cheng turned sideways and highlighted Shanlan beside him.

Probably because of the excitement. Even though Zhao Zhi and Ito Cheng had terms such as "Master Hou" and "Ben Hou" in their conversation, Shanlan on the side still didn't notice these, and just looked at Zhao Zhi with excitement on his face.

Zhao Zhi turned his head slightly and set his sights on Shan Lan from Ito Chengcheng's gang.

First he was confused, then his body trembled, his face showed a look of surprise, joy and some disbelief. He opened his mouth and called out with a slight hesitation, "Second sister?"

"Little sister!" Shanlan, who heard Zhao Zhi's call, could no longer suppress her excitement and hurriedly ran into the group of students. He and Zhao Zhi hugged each other tightly, burst into tears, and vented their joy of seeing each other again after a long absence.

"Okay, that's it for today's swordsmanship class. Everyone has dispersed." When the two of them hugged each other and cried, Ito Cheng clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the stunned students around him, and shouted loudly announced.

"Yes, Dean." All the students saluted. Then spread out. After a while, he disappeared from the school grounds.

Then, Ito Cheng walked to Zhao Zhi and Shanlan and said softly, "Go inside and talk."

Shanlan and Zhao Zhiqi nodded and followed Ito Cheng into the house. They sat down on a low couch holding hands.

"You guys chat, I'll go see Ya'er and the others." Ito Cheng nodded to the two of them and said softly.

Neither of them said anything. Watched Ito Cheng leave the room.

"How come my sister is with Mr. Hou?" After Ito Cheng left, Zhao Zhi, who looked away, looked at his sister with some confusion and asked.

"Master Hou? What Master Hou?" Shanlan asked in surprise.

"Sister, don't you know Mr. Hou's identity?" Zhao Zhi said in astonishment.

"Sister, you mean Chen Yi?" Shanlan said hesitantly.

"Yes. Chen Yi is the Marquis, the Julu Marquis of Zhao Kingdom." Zhao Zhi confirmed.

"Ah?" Shanlan exclaimed after learning the truth.

"How did my sister meet Mr. Hou?" Zhao Zhi asked again.

"It was Chen Yi who rescued me from Lu Buwei's house when he was in Qin State." Shanlan, whose face had a hint of depression for some reason, replied softly.

"Wait a minute, sister, are you talking about Qin?" Zhao Zhi asked with disbelief.

"Yes." Shanlan looked at her sister with confusion and confirmed.

"..." Zhao Zhi, who received a positive reply, was shocked and speechless. She really couldn't understand why Juluhou, who was supposed to be commanding the anti-Yan war on the front line, suddenly appeared in Xianyang, Qin State, and rescued her sister inexplicably. It seemed that she had never told Juluhou about her love. life experience?

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Zhao Zhi who was still silent, Shan Lan couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's nothing. By the way, sister, why are you in Lu Buwei's house?" Zhao Zhi, who came back to his senses, quickly changed the subject and asked.

As soon as these words came out, Shanlan's face turned sad, and she became ready to cry again...

On the other side, Cheng Cheng, who left Zhao Zhi's training room, also walked around three times and came to the main room assigned to Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni and others.

"Hey, why are there only you two here, Zhao Ni, Zhao Ya and Xiu'er?" Ito Cheng looked at Wu Tingfang and Zhao Qian sitting in the room and said in surprise.

"Husband!" Wu Tingfang and Zhao Qian, who subconsciously looked up at Ito Cheng after hearing the voice, immediately called out with surprise on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Tingfang stood up from the couch, rushed to Ito Cheng, and threw herself into his arms.

"Xiu'er is currently teaching students in the classroom. Aunt Ni and Aunt Ya were just picked up by a driver sent by the palace and went to the palace for a banquet." Zhao Qian on the side replied softly.

"Going to a banquet? What banquet are you going to?" Ito Cheng asked in surprise.

"It's a state banquet. About half an hour ago, Lord Xinling of Wei and his party arrived in Handan, and their father approached the palace to entertain them." Zhao Qian explained.

"What does that have to do with Ya'er and Ni'er?" Ito Cheng frowned.

"It's because of Lord Xinling." Zhao Qian looked at Ito Cheng carefully and explained softly, " Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, has always admired Aunt Ya, and Aunt Ya has always been in charge of entertaining Lord Xinling, so As usual, my father sent someone to invite Aunt Ya to the banquet."

"As for Aunt Ni, it's because of Julu Academy. It seems to be the request of Ji Yanran, the talented girl who came with the mission."

Ito Cheng's face darkened when he heard this. A heavy invisible pressure immediately radiated from his body, making Wu Tingfang and Zhao Qian on the side feel difficulty breathing.

"Husband, why are you back? Is the war over?" Seeing this. Wu Tingfang quickly changed the topic.

Ito Cheng, who noticed the change in the faces of the two men, put away the pressure that was emanating unconsciously, and said softly, "The battle is over. The Yan Kingdom is destroyed. All members of the royal family and the Duke of Yan have been captured and temporarily detained in Jicheng. The rest of the matter remains. The only thing we have to do is take over the entire territory of the Yan Kingdom, and the subordinates recruited by my husband can naturally take care of it, so I rushed back early to take a look at you beautiful ladies who are looking after me."

"The Kingdom of Yan is destroyed!?" After listening to Ito Cheng's statement. Zhao Qian and Wu Tingfang said with shock and disbelief.

This is not entirely because of the fact that the Yan State was destroyed, but more because of the incredible time it took to destroy the Yan State. It took less than a month from the beginning of the counterattack to defeat the Yan State, which was as powerful as the Zhao State. The country was destroyed, which was completely beyond their normal cognitive scope.

You must know that it is the State of Yan, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period! It is not those small countries such as Wei, Lu, and Song that are similar to city-states.

Ito Cheng nodded, breaking the last bit of doubt in their hearts with an affirmative answer.

"Qian'er, do you have any classes later?" At this time, Ito Cheng looked at Zhao Qian and asked.

"There is an etiquette class." Zhao Qian replied.

As a princess. What she teaches is of course royal etiquette, laying a solid foundation for these children from common people to enter the upper class.

"That's it, forget it, I'll go alone as my husband." Ito Cheng thought for a while and said.

Hear this. The smart Wu Tingfang and Zhao Qian naturally knew where he was going, which was the palace where a state banquet was being held.

"Okay, I'll leave first. We will spend the evening talking about our lovesickness together." Ito Cheng said with a smile as he pinched Wu Tingfang's buttocks that had become firm and elastic due to years of horse riding. .

Wu Tingfang and Zhao Qian, who didn't know what they were thinking of, turned red, with charming looks on their faces.

Ito Cheng turned around. He walked out of the room and came to the academy's racecourse. He pulled out a good horse provided by the Wu family and climbed up, then drove the horse slowly away from the back door of the academy, then accelerated towards the palace.

Because they were walking on the exclusive royal road that could only be used by scholar-bureaucrats, ministers and princes, there was no obstacle along the way, so it didn't take long for Lie Ma to arrive in front of King Zhao's palace.

"Who!?" Seeing the fierce horse rushing towards him, the guards guarding the palace shouted quickly.

"Yeah, hum, hum~" In the neighing sound, the fierce horses kicked and the people stood up.

"It's me." After the horse's front feet hit the ground again, Ito Cheng turned over and dismounted and said softly.

"For your humble duty, please see Marquis Julu!" Seeing clearly who was speaking, the guard in front of the palace quickly knelt down and bowed his head respectfully.

If they had paid homage to Marquis Julu before because of his title, then now they did so out of sincerity. They were impressed by his great military achievements and agreed with Marquis Julu from the bottom of their hearts.

"Where are the king and the others?" Ito Cheng asked quietly.

"In the Xiangrui Hall." The general guarding the gate replied.

Ito Cheng nodded, casually left the horse at the door, and walked into the palace.

"Why is Marquis Julu back? Shouldn't he be on the front line?" After Ito Cheng left, the guard who consciously stood up from the ground asked in surprise.

"Probably recalled by the king." One of the guards guessed.

"I don't know what's going on ahead." Another guard sighed.

"Needless to say, it must be a great victory. Didn't you hear the intelligence that came back two days ago that Juluhou's army has already defended Jicheng?" A guard said with pride.

"Not bad." The other guards agreed.

…

"Your Majesty, Marquis Julu is back and is outside the palace at this time." At this time, an internal official moved in small steps to King Zhao who was exchanging cups with His Highness, and bent his head to his ear. , raised a hand to cover his mouth and ears, and said softly.

"Oh? Please come quickly." After hearing the report, King Zhao's eyes lit up and he said quickly.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Queen Han Jing on the side asked with interest.

"Juluhou is back." King Zhao said with joy on his face.

After hearing what King Zhao said, Han Jing's expression changed slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, the light at the main entrance of the hall dimmed, and a tall figure walked into the hall from outside the hall with square steps. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the center of the hall, folded his hands horizontally, leaned forward and saluted, " Your Majesty, Chen Yi, has met the King and Queen."

It’s none other than Ito Cheng!

"The giant deer is exempt from the courtesy." King Zhao raised his arms and said softly with a smile on his face.

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere in the hall fell silent at first, and then became even more noisy.

"This is Julu Hou."

"So young."

"Shouldn't he be on the front line? Is the war over?"

"I guess I heard you coming up and was summoned back from Yan by King Zhao."

"This man is indeed heroic and extraordinary, with the appearance of a heavenly being and a human being. However, it is a little unclear if you look closely, making it impossible to determine his fate."

"Come, I would like to introduce to you. This is the outstanding talent of the Zhao Kingdom that you have always wanted to meet, Julu Marquis Chen Yi." King Zhao looked at the people in the palace, especially the men and women sitting in the left row of the palace room. smiled.

Ito Cheng acted like a courtier and hugged the Wei envoys.

"Juluhou, I would like to introduce to you. The leader is the young master of the Wei Kingdom who commanded the coalition forces of all countries to defeat the Qin army and relieve our Handan City, Xinling Jun Wuji." Then, King Zhao pointed at him. The man sitting at the head of the row on the left, who looked very old, introduced.

"Chen Yi has met Lord Xinling." Ito Cheng said.

Lord Xinling's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile, "Marquis Julu is really a talented person, he looks very attractive."

These words may sound like nothing at first. They are praising Ito for his good growth, but upon closer inspection, they turn out to be very vicious. It seems that he, Ito, got to the position by selling his butt. After all, the whole world knew that King Zhao was fond of men, and these words were too easy to deflect.

Ito Cheng's eyes flashed and he looked at Wei Wuji.

"This is the important minister of the Wei State, Lord Longyang." King Zhao, who did not see the change in the eyes of Ito Cheng and Lord Xinling, continued to introduce.

Ito Chengyi turned his eyes and looked at Long Yangjun, whose name was passed down through the ages and finally became synonymous with homosexuality.

How can I put it... Long Yangjun's appearance really lives up to the reputation of being a hypocrite. He is extremely handsome and handsome, and his skin looks whiter and smoother than that of a woman. A pair of beautiful long phoenix eyes look beautiful, if Putting on women's clothing from later generations, she was reincarnated as a proper sister.

"No wonder, in this era, there are many lecherous royals and nobles. Only he was passed down to later generations and became a 'noun'." Ito Cheng secretly praised Longyang Jun's appearance.

"It's just that according to the story in Xun Qin Ji, shouldn't he be with Lord Xinling? Why did he follow him to Handan this time? Did he come to monitor Lord Xinling under the order of King Anli of Wei?" (Unfinished) to be continued..)
