"Hmph, what a sharp-toothed boy, other skills haven't risen, but this cheek is getting thicker and thicker. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you, why have you not returned the soldiers, two generals, and one adviser you borrowed from me in the first place? Du Yong asked with a gloomy face, he no longer planned to go around the bend with this kid.

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Yukun suddenly became embarrassed, this matter has always been a hurdle in his heart, originally after occupying the entire Yangzhou, he also considered returning Shou Chuncheng and Zeng Jie to Du Yong, but in the end he was stopped by Wei Chuqian's dissuasion, so he had to delay this matter.

At this time, Wei Chu saw that Zhou Yukun was speechless for a while, knowing that his friend was not good at this kind of verbal dispute, so he stepped out first, and said with a faint smile: "Lord Du Yong, you have misunderstood my father-in-law a little bit by saying this, it is not that my father-in-law forcibly detained your subordinates, but that they all admire my father-in-law very much, so they decided to follow my father-in-law." You haven't signed a deed of sale with them, so you can't restrict their freedom in life, right? ”

Du Yongyin turned his head to look at this man who was comparable to a woman's face, and said coldly: "Didn't you see that I was talking to your father-in-law?" What are you, dare to come out and interject without permission! ”

Wei Chu couldn't help but be secretly angry when he heard this, although he didn't show it on his face, but that trace of smile disappeared in an instant: "I am a brother and sister to my family master, and my words are not much different from his words." Besides, I did the same thing to negotiate with you in the first place, so why can't I interject? ”

"Really?" Du Yong smiled coldly and said: "Okay, let me ask you, I won't mention the questions of Lu Cheng, Lin Zhong and others for the time being, just say that Shouchun City, you promised that after you successfully defend it, you will hand over the city to me to govern, why do you want to breach the contract now?" ”

Wei Chu shook his finger lightly: "Lord Du Yong's words are wrong, at that time, we did say that we would let your people help manage it, but we didn't say that we would always hand it over to you after that." Alas, speaking of which, Mr. Zeng Jie, whom you sent to help, is really useless, just a few days after taking office, not only did he not make any achievements, but also let two prisoners escape from prison and beat him to serious injuries, which is really a tragedy! ”

"Haha, what a clever mouth! So you left me a hand and played word games for me? Du Yong couldn't help but laugh angrily, at the beginning, he despised Zhou Yukun too much, thinking that this kid didn't dare to play tricks on himself, so he didn't make any detailed notes. After all, if Zhou Yukun really dared to break the contract, he could directly send troops to defeat Shouchun himself.

But what Du Yong never expected was that the growth speed of Zhou Yukun's forces was really staggering. In just one month, he has already become a prince, and at this time Du Yong really reacted and knew that he had fallen for the other party. But if you send a large army to suppress the border, it is still a question whether you can take Yangzhou, and more importantly, it will be dangerous for you to be in the rear!

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart burned even more, and his right hand was subconsciously raised, wanting to let the many generals around him kill people. At this moment, a man beside Du Yong hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, making his face slowly soften.

After listening to the man's words, he glanced at Zhou Yukun lightly and said, "Zhou Yukun, don't be too complacent, after this meeting is over, I will definitely let you repay it a hundred times, hum, let's go!" With that, he took his men and walked away slowly.

Without the troubles of Du Yong and his party, Zhou Yukun and others also successfully set up tents in this open space and settled down the soldiers. After that, Wang Huan and Shi Qian were left outside the city to manage the sergeants, while Zhou Yukun and Yuan Xinwen got up and walked to Xuchang City, ready to go to tonight's party.

At this time, Zhou Yukun, who slowly calmed down, also understood Wei Chu's intentions, he was so persistent in keeping Shouchun City, just because this city was very important to the entire Yangzhou. Since it is located at the junction of Yangzhou and Xuzhou, if you really want to give Shouchun City to Du Yong, it will be like opening the door to thieves at that time, and you will lose an important barrier.

Then Du Yong will definitely not let go of Yangzhou, and only needs to lead half of the people to take Yangzhou down. Judging from Du Yong's character, he will never let go of this rich land, and will exploit the people of Yangzhou cleanly, and when Zhou Yukun arrives, he will really regret it.

It is also strange to say that as Zhou Yukun gradually began to manage many people, his mentality slowly changed. He no longer just thinks about how to avenge his parents as before, but begins to think more about the lives and stability of other people, whenever he sees those Yangzhou people living happily and securely together, he has an indescribable satisfaction in his heart, as if the yearning for a happy family in his heart is felt in these people.

"Yukun? What's wrong with you, why have you been in a daze? ”

Yuan Xinwen shook Zhou Yukun's arm on the side, woke him up from his contemplation, looked up, and found that their group had arrived at the destination of this trip.

It is a splendid house, and a glance at the door shows how much money and material resources were spent on its construction. At this time, the two guards standing outside the door raised their hands to stop them: "Ladies and gentlemen, please show your tokens, and wait for us to confirm that they are correct before entering." ”

Zhou Yukun subconsciously took out the letter, because there was a strange picture on the letter, which should be similar to an anti-counterfeiting mark. The two guards received it and carefully inspected a few key places, and after confirming that it was not a forgery, they handed it back to Zhou Yukun: "Two adults, please come in." ”

After nodding slightly, Zhou Yukun walked towards the room with the three people behind him, but before he could take a few steps, he heard the guard suddenly shout: "Wait, a few adults, please stay!" ”

Zhou Yukun turned around suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with the letter?" ”

One of the guards shook his head and said, "My lord misunderstood, there is no problem with your identity. It's just that my lord has a rule that only one lord can bring one person in, and the others must wait outside the house. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yukun suddenly smiled helplessly, after all, their current situation is indeed a bit special, and it is strange that there are two lords in one territory.

Lu Su behind him was also very reasonable, and said to Zhou Yukun and Yuan Xinwen: "Two lords, the two of us won't go in first, I believe they won't dare to make a move on you." ”

So Zhou Yukun could only leave the two of them outside and took Yuan Xinwen into the room. After they did walk in, Wei Chu looked at Lu Su with a smile: "Lord Lu Su, I finally have a chance to talk to you alone, are you interested in going to another place to sit down?" ”

Lu Su smiled lightly, pointed to a pavilion not far away and said, "Okay, since Lord Gongjin has asked for this, what reason is there not to agree?" ”

"Wait!" Wei Chu stopped abruptly and stared at him with a cold face: "What did you call me just now?" Lord Gongjin? ”

"Adults don't need to worry, wouldn't it be better for us to talk while walking?"
