Chapter 942 Very Courageous

Chapter 942 Very Courageous

"Go ahead."

Zhou Shiyue sat down on the chair, ready to listen carefully.

Lord Zhong was silent for a moment.

"Your Majesty, that was a year ago. At that time..."

He thought for a moment and called out, "Young Master Zhou Yi brought two young men here. I hope I can arrange some work for them in the Shuning government office."

"Oh?"

"Those two young men said they were orphans rescued by Master Zhou Yi. Master Zhou Yi said they were originally from Shuning City and wanted to return to their homeland."

"When I met Master Zhou Yi, I was impressed by his calm and heroic demeanor."

Zhou Shiyue lowered his eyes.

He actually heard that Lord Zhong's words were telling him what kind of person Zhou Yi looked like now.

Calm?

A person who is less than twenty years old and worthy of Lord Zhong's calm sigh may be more than just calm.

"Did you promise him?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

Lord Zhong shook his head.

"At that time, I directly rejected Master Zhou Yi, saying that he had a special status, so the people he recommended were not suitable to work in the government."

"After hearing what I said, Master Zhou Yi seemed a little disappointed. He turned around and told the two young men that he couldn't help them."

"Afterwards, he took the two young men away. I later sent someone to inquire and they said that the two young men followed Master Zhou Yi and left Shuning City again."

Zhou Shiyue listened to his words, tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, and looked into the distance, as if thinking about something.

Lord Zhong looked at Prince Jin like this and felt that he was a little unpredictable at this moment.

Even he couldn't tell what Prince Jin was thinking at the moment. Was he angry or feeling emotional?

He didn't even know what the relationship between Prince Jin and Zhou Yi was.

But I heard that the farthest Zhou Yi had ever been was Shuning City, and he had never returned to the capital because he was forbidden to set foot in the capital again in his life.

Before the Prince of Jin could speak, Lord Zhong thought for a moment and said, "As for the question the prince just asked, Shu Ningcheng..."

"I can say with confidence that Shuning City is between Subei and the capital. If Shuning City wants to defend the city with all its might, it will take at least three to five more days to go from Shuning City to the capital."

What he said was quite outrageous.

But the person in front of him was the Prince of Jin who had saved him.

And now he is the local official of Shuning City.

If someone really targeted Shu Ningcheng, he would have to make plans early. The first thing was to tell King Jin the possibility he had guessed!

Zhou Shiyue raised his eyes and looked at him.

"Master Zhong, you are quite courageous."

This is almost speculation that there really is someone from Subei who wants to go directly to the capital through Shuning City.

If we go to the capital normally, there is nothing wrong with it, but I am afraid that it is abnormal.

For example, bring an army of rebels.

"I am only answering because the prince asked." Lord Zhong said.

"What about Shaguan City?"

"The defenders of Shaguan City can support Shuning City when necessary." Lord Zhong said again.

Therefore, for those in Subei who have ulterior motives, Shuning City is important, and Shaguan City is equally important.

In Shaguan City, there is Deputy General Xie.

I'm afraid someone has found out the true identity of Lieutenant General Xie and has begun to doubt his ability, so now they have divided it into several targets and started to take action.

Over in Shaguan City, Lieutenant General Xie may not be safe at this moment.

But Zhou Shiyue didn't worry too much about this.

If Lieutenant General Xie is unable to protect himself and is easily killed, then he may not be able to shoulder any important responsibilities in the future.

After all, he had already told Lu Anfan that he could reveal some things about the Xie family to Lieutenant General Xie.

As long as he heard about the family, Deputy General Xie would be smart enough to notice something was wrong. If he was still not alert, then this person was not that powerful.

As for Lu Anfan, he will probably have to go through some tests in Shaguan City.

But this is also an opportunity for him to grow as quickly as possible.

"I will be back soon, Lord Zhong. Please guard Shuning City well from now on."

Zhou Shiyue stood up and said this.

Lord Zhong also felt a little heavy-hearted.

"I understand."

Zhou Shiyue took the bag of poisoned vegetables, walked a few steps, turned back and said, "By the way, find a few more people to keep an eye on Yu'an Hall."

"Yes."

Let’s talk about Lu Zhaoling.

She and Yin Yunting arrived at Yu'an Hall.

On the way, Yin Yunting told her what happened before.

When we arrived at Yu'an Hall, we heard several suppressed crying sounds from inside. It sounded like several children were crying.

This Yu'an Hall is not small.

It seems that it was converted from an ancestral hall of a great master in the past.

As soon as he entered the gate, Lu Zhaoling saw an open space paved with bluestone slabs, with two jars placed on the left and right. However, the jars were cracked. There was some ice in them, which was now shattered all over the ground.

"These were smashed when I was setting up the formation just now."

Yin Yunting said to Lu Zhaoling, "Senior Sister, I originally thought there was something wrong with these two jars, but after I smashed them, I found out..."

"But you find that the formation you set up is almost impossible to set up, right?" Lu Zhaoling continued his words.

Yin Yunting nodded.

"It was only with Qingmu's support that we were able to put it together."

But now when he looked again, he saw that there were cracks in the formation again.

A woman ran out and when she saw him, she said anxiously, "Sir, Xiao Shitou and the others are crying again, what should we do?"

Before, those children vomited blood and fainted. It was this young man who came over and did something to wake those children up.

But now the children were not vomiting blood, but were crying inexplicably and could not be comforted.

They are grown-up kids now, how can they cry and make a scene like this? I have never tried this before!

So when she saw Yin Yunting coming, the aunt who was taking care of the children here felt like she had found her backbone, and wanted him to go and help quickly.

She saw Lu Zhaoling and others again.

"Eh? Sir, you brought a girl to help?"

"You go in and check on them first. I'll clean up here." Lu Zhaoling said to Yin Yunting, "Also, you couldn't see it just now because the problem wasn't with the two water tanks, but the water inside. Of course, it's frozen now."

She pointed to a patch of ice on the ground.

It seems that the children here are making a lot of noise and the woman has no time to clean up.

"Ice?" Yin Yunting was reminded by Lu Zhaoling and took another look before he realized what was going on. "I see!"

He was originally very talented, but not as talented as Lu Zhaoling.

If the situation hadn't been so urgent, he would have been able to see it if he had looked more carefully.

"Big sister, I'll go in first."

Yin Yunting did not blame himself too much. He immediately waved his hand and took Qingyin and Qingbao inside.

"Aoki stays." Lu Zhaoling kept Aoki.

The woman looked at Lu Zhaoling in confusion, but was immediately called in by Yin Yunting.

"Aunt, come in and help."

"Hey, it's coming."

Lu Zhaoling slowly walked towards the broken ice. Qingmu followed vigilantly, also observing where Lu Zhaoling was looking.

"Go and get some charcoal ash." Lu Zhaoling said.

"Yes."

Aoki immediately turned around and went to the kitchen.
