Chapter 827: Building Momentum
After Zhou Qi took Huai Yanqing into Yuecheng, he asked Ning Ye to take the troops to the military camp to station, and he took a few people to the general's mansion here to rest.
At this time, there were still Huai Yanqing's people in the general's mansion, so after Huai Yanqing took Lin Jinxiu and a few people to the general's mansion, he and the people who stayed at the beginning met in the guest house.
"Lord Wang." Everyone saluted excitedly, even if there was the protection of the troops left by Huai Yanqing, but after all, they were in the enemy country, and they needed to be protected from time to time, and they needed to be on guard at all times.
"Thank you for your hard work, and then you can go back with us."
"It's not hard."
"It's like, for the sake of victory, it's nothing."
"The prince is too polite."
"Okay, your hard work is in the eyes of this king, and I will definitely ask for credit for you when I go back, now you can take a good rest, and you don't need to say anything else."
Huai Yanqing interrupted the people who still had a tendency to talk more, and then took the lead to go to the guest house arranged by Zhou Qi for them.
After the group sat down, Huai Yanqing looked at Qin Shuyao, who was under him, and ordered in a deep voice, "Shuyao, send an order to all the places left behind, and let the rest of the cities withdraw." ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." After speaking, he was about to get up and go out to make arrangements, but was stopped by Huai Yanqing.
"There's no hurry." Huai Yanqing glanced at the seat that belonged to Zhu Hongyu, but it was empty now, "Let's stay here for two days, let's go back and have a good rest first." ”
"Huh?" Qin Shuyao snorted lightly from his nose, followed Huai Yanqing's line of sight to the seat next to him, and his face changed when he thought of something, but he didn't speak after all.
After arranging things, Qin Shuyao and the others left, leaving only Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing chatting.
At this time, there were no outsiders, so Lin Jinxiu sat by Huai Yanqing's side casually, "Yanqing, you said that Zhou Qi would take Hongyu there, I don't know what they will say?" ”
"I don't know." Huai Yanqing didn't know these questions, but he was sure of one thing, "Anyway, no matter what, with Hongyu's skills, he won't suffer." ”
"That's right." Lin Jinxiu agrees with this.
And Zhu Hongyu, who was being discussed by Lin Jinxiu, was sitting opposite Zhou Qi on both sides at this time, silent, and finally Zhou Qi opened his mouth first.
"Hongyu, how about you say that I will submit my credentials after I go back, and ask Emperor Yan to marry you to me?"
After Zhou Qi's identity was exposed, the marriage between him and Zhu Hongyu was destined not to be a matter of two people, so Zhou Qi would work hard to promote peace talks between the two countries, and only then could he have a position to say this.
Now that the covenant has been decided, if Zhou Qi proposes to Yan Huaiqian again, it will be to conclude a kite alliance and be happy, not just for the sake of harmony.
When Zhu Hongyu heard Zhou Yan's words, his heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm.
"Yes."
After their marriage was decided, Zhou Qi couldn't help but walk over and sit next to Zhu Hongyu and took Zhu Hongyu's hand.
At this time, there were no outsiders, and Zhu Hongyu did not struggle, let Zhou Qi pull it, but her hands were not as soft as ordinary women, and I don't know why Zhou Qi always liked to pull her hands.
Zhu Hongyu didn't know what he thought in his heart, and if he knew, he would cry and laugh.
Zhu Hongyu's hands are indeed not as soft as ordinary women, because she always practices martial arts, and even has a thin layer of cocoons in her palm, which will not be very rough to the touch, but will give people a slightly itchy touch.
Her hands weren't as soft as the others, but they were full of strength.
Holding Zhu Hongyu's flexible and slender hands in the palms of his hands, Zhou Qi's heart felt satisfied, and he only felt that it was good for the two of them to sit like this even if they didn't speak.
Until a sound of footsteps came, breaking the calm at this time, Zhu Hongyu was strong, as early as when the visitor had not approached, he had already quickly withdrawn his hand from Zhou Qi's hand, and at the same time stood up and moved his steps, and sat opposite Zhou Qi.
As soon as Zhu Hongyu sat down, a voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Chen Ningye asks to see you." ”
"Come in." Zhou Qi had already put away the soft expression on his face at this time and said to the outside.
As soon as Ning Ye walked in, he found Zhu Hongyu present, but because the two didn't look any different, he just looked at it and then withdrew his gaze, "Your Majesty, the minister has already ordered a meal in the restaurant, I don't know when Your Majesty is going to go?" ”
Yuecheng had experienced a war before, and they were only living here temporarily, so there was actually a shortage of things in the mansion, so Zhou Qi asked people to put this celebration in the restaurant outside, and Ning Ye was the one who did it.
After he separated from Zhou Qi and the others, he first settled the soldiers he brought out, and then went to the best restaurant in the city, asking people not to receive guests in the next time, and then hurried back to report to Zhou Yan.
At this time, it was not early, and the peace talks and signing were started from the time, because it had already been negotiated, but it didn't waste too much time, but the appearance of about half an hour had already been dealt with, and when they returned to Yuecheng, it was almost the end of noon, and after a simple meal, everyone rested separately.
Now more than an hour has passed, and it is almost time to apply, and it is just the right time to go out to eat.
Since he had decided to go out to celebrate, Zhou Yan asked people to call Huai Yanqing and Lin Jinxiu, and he waited for a few people to arrive in the lobby.
Lin Jinxiu was still dressed in a military uniform at this time, and there was no change of clothes here, so she could only simply wash up and go to the lobby to meet everyone.
Then a group of people set off in a big way.
After half a day of fermentation, at this time, the whole city was full of news about the signing of the peace treaty between the two countries, and Lin Jinxiu's ear power was good enough to hear all kinds of voices constantly coming to her ears.
"Have you heard, the two countries have ceased fighting!"
"Hey, your news is out of date."
The person who spoke in front of him wanted to show off the news he heard, but he didn't expect to be lost face as soon as the words fell, and his face was suddenly full of uncomfortable looks, and he roared angrily, "I listened to my cousin who was a soldier, so you should tell me about your news, and see what news is not outdated." ”
"Don't be upset, I really have the latest news, and I also heard from my relatives who were soldiers." After saying that, he sold it.
"You'd rather say it quickly."
"That's it, say it quickly, I'm in a hurry."
The man betrayed the guanzi, not only the person who was talking to him was anxious, but even the person who was standing aside and eavesdropping on the gossip was also anxious, and began to urge.
"What's the hurry, I'll tell you." After speaking, he looked around, and found that everyone was staring at him, so he said proudly, "What is the truce, let me tell you, just today, our new majesty will go to sign an agreement with Yan Guo, and we will never fight again!" This is the grace of our new majesty."
"No more wars?!"
"Is this true or false?"
"I know this, I heard that the original Majesty was killed by the enemy."
"Shhh, be quiet, dare to say this casually, I'm not afraid of being beheaded."
"Don't worry, this matter has been spread all over the outside, that is, we are remote here, so the news has not spread."
"If you don't have to fight, then your new majesty is really a good person."
"Yes, is what that kid said just now also true, and there really won't be any more wars in the future?"
"Boy, come out and make it clear."
As soon as the man's voice fell, it caused a commotion among the people around, and everyone was frightened for a while, and they got together in three or two to discuss, and finally they really couldn't discuss anything, and only then did someone remember the person who said this just now, and wanted to arrest the person to make it clear, but where is there still a figure now.
It turned out that the man took advantage of the fact that everyone was caught by the news he said, with a smile on his face, and left the encirclement without a trace, and then turned left and right, and disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in the general's mansion.
"It's done."
"Go down and rest."
"Yes."
After a few words of conversation, the man left the general's mansion, walked down the road, merged into the crowd, and was never found again.
And the person in charge of the General's Mansion who was in charge of communicating with this person finally reported the news to Ning Ye's lieutenant general.
It turned out that this person was arranged by the general's mansion, just to spread the news of the peace talks, and then control public opinion among the people to build momentum for Zhou Qi.
Although Zhou Yi did control the imperial city, but the time was too tight at that time, he wanted to mobilize troops and horses to the southwest to plug the gap over there, so that the side would not get out of control because of Zhou Yi's madness, and on the other hand, he had to rush here to join Huai Yanqing and them, so there was no official enthronement ceremony yet.
But it's not bad now, when they go back, the enthronement ceremony will be a logical thing, and what Zhou Qi and they have to do now is to minimize the damage that Zhou Yi has done to the prestige of the royal family in the past two years.
Obviously, Zhou Qi's actions were successful, and on the way to the restaurant, Lin Jinxiu could hear people talking about peace.
Just as everyone was feeling how powerful their new majesty was, a discordant voice entered everyone's ears.
"You know, there's more to not fighting than that."
"Li Xiucai, tell us quickly, isn't this not a war just a lack of death, what other benefits can it be?"
"That's right, Li Xiucai, you tell us."
"A group of fools, since you have sincerely asked for advice, then I will generously explain your doubts."
As soon as he heard this, more people gathered around him in an instant, and Li Xiucai looked at so many people staring at him eagerly, and suddenly became even more proud, he sat on the stool and slowly tidied up the robes on his body, and slowly opened his mouth when the people around him were waiting in a hurry.
"You only know one thing but you don't know the other, after this peace talks, not only do you not have to fight, but you don't have to pay so many taxes in the future."
"It's really good, if I really don't have to pay so much tax, then I can save some money for my eldest son to marry."
Before Li Xiucai finished speaking, he was interrupted by a woman, and he was suddenly angry, "Shut up, do you want to listen to me." ”
"You say, Li Xiucai, let's not talk about it." Seeing that Li Xiucai was angry, the people around him suddenly looked at the people cautiously, and didn't dare to speak again, and the woman who spoke before also quickly covered her mouth.
"Humph! Listen to it, what I just said is just a benefit, after the peace talks, the two countries will trade, and then they can take some things to do some small business, and life is not easier than now? ”
"Peace talks are good, they should have been negotiated a long time ago."
"It's easy to say, you think the peace talks are easy, if it weren't for the current Your Majesty, I don't know when this battle will end."
