From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 752

Zhou Yuan also asked several old men in a row, but the answers they gave were all the same, nothing more than copper basins, silverware, salt, cattle and sheep, etc. How could these be considered as surprising betrothal gifts.

After thinking for a long time, he had no clue, but Guan Lu brought good news.

It was dusk when the spy of Shenque found Zhou Yuan and handed him a letter written by Guan Lu.

"Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng have successfully completed the power transfer. Now the young and middle-aged generation has the right to speak and will cooperate with us to reform the chieftains and lay the new law."

"Waza and Yueyi, the two envoys, have been convicted of treason. This result has been supported by the people of the two chieftains. Lord Deng Su will exterminate the two and temporarily stay in Tusi Adu to discuss development issues with the elders of the major clans."

"There are remnants of power within the two chieftains, but they have lost the general trend and have no chance to rise. Miss Ye said that she can temporarily not kill them and slowly settle them in the future. This is also conducive to the stability of the two chieftains. Excessive suppression will easily rebound."

"Shenque personnel have been deployed to various parts of Sichuan and Guizhou, gradually infiltrating major families, and preparing for the laying of new laws."

"According to the current trend, it will take at least two years for Sichuan and Guizhou to truly get on the right track and reach the level of the Central Plains."

After reading it, Zhou Yuan completely let go of the big stone in his heart and began to think about the betrothal gift again.

Soon, he looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "When did you join the Shenque?"

The young man was stunned, knowing that this was an opportunity, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, I have followed Master Guan Lu since the beginning of the year before last."

Sure enough, he is a core member, otherwise he would not be qualified to send a message to me.

Zhou Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, your chance to make a contribution is here..."

"The wealthy families of nobles gather hundreds of skills to make a frame on the Lantern Festival, and pass the heat in sequence, and have fun all night long."

"I want you to find the best fireworks in Dajin for me, make the largest-scale fireworks frame, and make the best floats."

"Remember, I want nine such floats!"

"Within ten days, you can get it to Baihua Village for me, and you will have a bright future."

"Don't worry about the money, you can use the power of the God Bird, and it's up to you to do it."

The young man fluttered to his knees and said loudly: "I will definitely complete the task, I will definitely complete it, thank you for your cultivation."

Zhou Yuan said: "Hurry up, the sooner the better!"

The young man turned around and ran. As an old backbone of the God Bird, he has many people and resources under his command, and he has even thought of many ways.

"Carrier pigeon! Carrier pigeon! Hurry up!"

He muttered to himself as he ran. He knew very well that this was his only chance in this life.

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after arranging all this.

The overall situation of Sichuan and Guizhou has been decided. Deng Su will stay in Adu Tusi for the time being. After things are arranged, he will probably come to Guizhou in person to preside over the overall situation.

As a marshal, Zhou Yuan came incognito this time, so he did not take on the high-profile concurrent post of governor. He was happy to be idle.

It's time to have a good rest in the next period of time.

He looked at Xiaoying beside him and smiled: "Girl, flower cars, flowers and trees, fish and dragons dancing at night, Cai Ni will definitely like it, right?"

"I don't know!"

Xiaoying tilted her head and squinted her eyes, as if she had thought of that picture.

How beautiful and wonderful that picture would be.

She felt very happy just thinking about it.

Zhou Yuan said: "There is nothing to do in the next few days. Can you take me around Shuixi Baizhai? Or take me to your Wuguzhai?"

Xiaoying's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Of course! We can walk and stop, go back and forth, and a few days will be enough!"

Zhou Yuan said directly: "Let's go! Bring some clothes and set off now. The purpose is to have fun!"

"For so many years, I haven't accompanied you to relax."

Xiaoying jumped up and raised her hand and said: "Okay!"

I felt relaxed and had no burden on my shoulders for the time being. I just wanted to go.

Zhou Yuan took Xiaoying's hand and set off at nightfall, walking under the moonlight.

He saw the beautiful scenery of this world at night, mountain breeze, night forest, fireflies, winding rivers, quiet river water, insects chirping, and nightingales chirping.

All kinds of things compete for freedom in the frosty sky!

Zhou Yuan couldn't even name a random village they arrived at, but when Xiaoying said she was from Wugu Village, the people there welcomed them warmly.

Feeling relaxed, Zhou Yuan slept soundly, and after eating a simple meal, he fell into a deep sleep.

Xiaoying looked at his sleeping face, giggled, and gently teased his nose with the dogtail grass she had picked.

"You slept so well."

She rolled her eyes and whisperedShe said, "My dears, you must work hard and don't let your brother wake up."

She spread her palms, and the black insect the size of a grain of rice drilled into Zhou Yuan's ears.

Zhou Yuan murmured and fell into a deeper sleep, his whole body was hot.

Xiaoying giggled and took off his clothes one by one.

She opened her mouth and turned pale with fear: "The sex insect is so scary, even those who sleep can't escape it."

She blew out the candle, and the room fell into darkness.

In the darkness, a voice came: "Brother is a great hero, Xiaoying is an orphan, she is really worse than soil..."

"I'm sorry, brother... I really don't want to live alone anymore..."

"Xiaoying, I'm afraid of being alone..."

...

Damn it! Cool!

When Zhou Yuan woke up, the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on his face, and he was full of energy and excitement.

"Where's the old bald donkey! It's a pity that he's dead!"

Zhou Yuan held up his sword and shouted, "Otherwise I must fight him for three hundred rounds! Kill him until he pees and pisses!"

He looked around and found no one, so he walked down the stilt house.

Then he saw Xiaoying sitting on the stone bench in the yard with pigtails, happily eating osmanthus cake.

Zhou Yuan was in a good mood and shouted, "Xiaoying, where did you get the osmanthus cake? How many pockets are hidden on your body! Let your brother check it out!"

Xiaoying giggled and said, "I have a lot of secrets on me!"

"How can a little girl like you have secrets? Haha!"

Zhou Yuan pinched her little face and said, "Let's go, let's continue."

Xiaoying tilted her head and blinked, saying, "I don't want to go, I want my brother to carry me."

Carry you? I'm not afraid of the old bald donkey now, so why should I be afraid of carrying you? It just so happens that I have endless strength!

Zhou Yuan lifted her up on his back like a little chicken, hugged her little butt, and said, "Let's go! Let's go back to Xiaoying's home!"

Xiaoying frowned slightly, then laughed again, put her arms around Zhou Yuan's neck, and shouted, "Go! The horses are going!"

"Go!"

Zhou Yuan laughed and ran forward.
