Selfishness

It is best for Zhonghu City to have the support of a powerful national leader, and Chen Hui is naturally the best candidate.Sheng Nation is the first to establish a relationship with Zhonghu City and recognize our existence, then the city-states and small princes and kings attached to Sheng Nation will also recognize it.As for the other princes, some may be out of face, or they are just waiting for the first one to "eat crabs".After all, the strength of our Zhonghu City - since Yao Chan, all the princes and city-states have also understood it, and they will not easily come to trouble.Then with Chen Hui as the leader, they may come to communicate with us after inquiring from three parties.Even if you don't come, it's fine, as long as you don't attack us.

What's more, if Zhonghu City is a completely neutral location, business firms from various countries can come here to trade—even if the two countries are at war.In this way, the treasury can be preserved, and the transactions of the commercial banks will not be completely stagnated.And after Zhonghu City became a place where businesses and people from all over the world gathered, it would be easier to obtain information here.Presumably there are so many benefits, they will not be our enemies, at least not on the surface.

"Shuisheng is right, but..." Chen Hui thought for a while and said, "From the perspective of outsiders, we have established diplomatic relations with Zhonghu City inexplicably, and they may suspect that we have secret transactions or relationships."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't you very much hope that we have a relationship?"

"That's true. I really want to tell the world that I want to marry the Major General of Zhonghu City." Chen Hui suddenly seemed very excited.

"Hey. Master Sheng, you can marry me as a major general if you want? By the way, I'm curious, did you bribe the people around me? Why are they all talking for you?"

"Oh, it seems that the fact that we are compatible is obvious to all." Chen Hui said in "surprise".

"Can you be a little more fake?"

"Don't be angry." Chen Hui pinched my face to be happy.

"Hmph! I don't care about you." However, what Chen Hui said was also reasonable, so he had to find a reason.

"Don't frown." She gently rubbed my brows with her fingers and said, "There is a bandit killer in the memorial just now, and that place is not far from Zhonghu City, why don't we use it?"

"Huh? Bandit trouble? How to use it?"

"The banditry is in the border town, and our country does not have troops stationed nearby. If there is a bandit invasion in the area, the army of the Sheng Kingdom will not be able to arrive in time, but Zhonghu City can."

"But we entered the territory of other countries privately, and we still led troops. This...isn't very good."

"It's really not good, so after that, you have to come here to apologize." Chen Hui smiled maliciously.

"Ah? Pleading guilty?" Are you sure you're not messing with me?

"You said that when the people went to Zhonghu City to ask for help, you saw that the people were pitiful, and you couldn't bear it, so you decided to go to clean up the banditry. But you also know that this is against morality, so you went to clean up the banditry alone." Alone?This is playing tricks on me!

"I want to kill the bandits alone? Am I that good?"

"Of course there is. How can those bandits compare to you. You see, you can come and go freely in my palace."

"As soon as I mentioned this, I remembered, where is Anfeng?" Huh!I was fooled before and almost forgot.

"I asked someone to take him down to rest."

"People? You didn't call the servants to come out when you fell into my arms." I knew there was a problem!

"Shui Sheng, stop squinting, you're almost blind." Chen Hui covered his mouth and smiled.

"Be honest! Did you know we were coming!"

"Of course I know. Didn't you tell me earlier that you want Langzhou? I'm really looking forward to it." Chen Hui began to lean on me as he spoke.

"You! You..." I pointed at her and didn't speak a complete sentence for a long time.

"What did Shuisheng want to say?" Chen Hui leaned against me again without knowing what was going on.Is this woman boneless?Why do you keep leaning on me?

"Why are you lying on me again!"

"I'm busy with business today, and I'm exhausted physically and mentally. Let me rest in Shuisheng's arms for a while."

"Since you're so tired, go to sleep."

"Okay, let's go to rest." Huh?How did she answer so decisively?

Before I could react, Chen Hui led me to her bedroom.Wait, why is it her bedroom?

"Where should I sleep?" I looked at the resplendent palace, and was at a loss for words for a while, but actually sleeping here is not bad.

"Don't Shuisheng like this place?"

"I like it." No way, I have never seen the world, I have never seen such a luxurious ancient palace, salivating is probably what I am now.I know it's embarrassing, but it's really shocking!There is no way to live in such a place in modern times!

"Then rest here." Chen Hui said briskly, pulling me to sit on the bed.

I looked at the dragon bed that could sleep several people, and was "stunned".The life of the ancient people was really extravagant, and the modern rich probably don't have such a big bed.But after thinking about it, why do you need such a big bed?

"Chen Hui, what do you want such a big bed for?" Do you think... Tsk tsk, I dare not think about it.

"Don't be so wretched." Chen Hui patted my forehead expressionlessly and said, "The beds of other kings are like this."

Tsk, this has to be standardized?

"If you don't like it, we can change it to a smaller one."

"Um... as long as you like it."

"Then let's go to bed."

"Wait! Are we going to sleep together?"

"It's so late, where are you going?"

I looked around, let alone a bed, a lounge chair, not even a table, how could the emperor's bedroom be so empty?

"Chen Hui, you've been robbed, why don't you have anything but a bed?"

"The bedroom is not a place to sleep, what else do you need besides a bed?"

Well, it makes sense, but I always feel that something is wrong.

"Shuisheng, let's take a rest, you must be tired after traveling for so long."

It's tiring to travel, and it's also tiring to run into the palace tonight, but... I'm not used to sleeping together.

"Chen Hui, I don't sleep well, so I won't sleep with you anymore. It's not good to disturb your rest."

"Pfft, why are you afraid of such a big bed?" It makes sense...

Chen Hui looked at me in a daze, smiled for a long time and then said: "Go wash up first, remember that you must take a bath every night before going to bed, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable to rest like this."

"Huh? How do you know?" Su Yun Anfeng and the others seem to know this habit. Could it be the big mouth of the great doctor Su?

"Pfft. Ah Yun didn't tell me. So I found out when I was walking with you." Her observation ability is really good, how can she see everything.

"It's just right, I can take a look at the bathing pool of the imperial palace." I was still very curious about this, I looked back at Chen Hui and said, "Are you bathing pools inlaid with gold? Or are you inlaid with jade?"

"Pfft, do you think I'm a foolish king? Scrape people's fat and people's ointment every day?"

"How can I! Who doesn't know that the ruler of the Sheng Kingdom is very capable."

Chen Hui shook his head while smiling, and dragged me to the bathing pool at the back of the hall.
