Zhou Ping's idea was very simple, he wanted to distribute the two hundred taels of gold that he and Zhang Xiaoyue got to those martyrs, not only so that they could have more settling-in expenses, but also feel more at ease.

Zhang Xiaoyue naturally doesn't need to say that he will never object to Zhou Ping's proposal, so now Zhou Ping has only one problem to face, that is, Mu Ruqing, the emperor of the southern country, if he doesn't nod his head and agree, Zhou Ping will change his taste if he goes to do this matter privately.

When he met Mu Ruqing, Zhou Pingpale said calmly, "Your Majesty, I hope to do something with the gold you gave me a reward, and I hope Your Majesty can approve it." ”

Mu Ruqing was reviewing the folds, raised his head and glanced at this junior he loved very much, and said with a smile, "That's your money, why don't you ask me for instructions if you want to do it, just do it." ”

"The minister wants to distribute the money in the name of the state to the families of the martyrs. Zhou Ping had tears in his eyes when he spoke, "I just hope that those martyrs can live better, money is just something outside my body for me, but for those martyrs, it is the dependence of survival!"

"But the minister knows that this is an act of trespassing, so please ask Your Majesty to distribute the money in the name of the state on behalf of the minister, so that the minister can also feel at ease!"

After listening to Zhou Ping's heartfelt words, Mu Ruqing put down the fold in his hand and walked in front of him, looking at Zhou Ping's sincere eyes and patting him on the shoulder.

"You came to me to ask me to do this, because I was afraid that someone would say that you were trying to win over the people, right?"

Zhou Ping buried his head lower, Mu Ruqing saved his life, in his eyes he was like a kind elder, but after all, he was also the king of a country, Zhou Ping's move was not only for himself, but also for Mu Ruqing, for the sake of the social stability of the southern country.

Mu Ruqing pondered for a while, and slowly said to Zhou Ping, "You and Zhang Xiaoyue's two hundred taels of gold are not enough to do anything, there are so many dead and wounded soldiers in this battle, it is just a drop in the bucket." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ping raised his head and looked at Mu Ruqing's deep eyes, a little confused, he didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor meant, was it a refusal?

"I immediately issued an edict to raise the pension of all martyrs to fifty taels of silver, since you and Zhang Xiaoyue are willing to donate all their rewards for the country, then the extra twenty taels of silver will be called Pingyue silver!"

Mu Ruqing's voice was very firm, and Zhou Ping was not allowed to have any rebuttal: "You are not only my courtier, but also my good nephew, and Xiaohai's sworn brother! If someone dares to point fingers in this matter, then I, Mu Ruqing, will be the first not to let him go!"

Zhou Ping closed his eyes lightly at this time, he never cared in whose name the money was distributed, he just wanted those martyrs to live well after losing their loved ones. If he was really selfish, how could he come to meet Mu Ruqing?

"The minister is here to thank His Majesty for the holy grace of the families of those martyrs!" Zhou Ping had tears in his eyes and was about to kneel down to thank him, but Mu Ruqing stretched out his hand to support him.

"From now on, whether in the court or in private, you don't have to bow down to me like Chu Li, this is my will, don't disobey!"

In this way, Mu Ruqing quickly ordered the second distribution of pension silver, originally he wanted Zhou Ping to be in charge of this matter, after all, it was best for him to be responsible for the distribution of Pingyue silver, but Zhou Ping excused himself, and Mu Ruqing had to hand over the matter to Zhang Xiaoyue.

A few days later, Chu Li was about to leave Beijing and return to the border pass, Mu Ruqing wanted to hold a banquet for him, but Chu Li refused. After all, the matter of Pingyueyin has made the current treasury very tight, and there is no need to come to waste it for him.

Chen Bi'an, who had been out for a month, had not come back so far, so Chu Li and Mu Ruqing simply asked someone to cook a few small dishes in a certain courtyard of the palace, and put a few jars of fine wine on the ground, which could be regarded as a farewell for Chu Li.

In addition to these two giants in the south, Zhou Ping and Zhang Xiaoyue, two juniors, were also invited to sit aside, and there were only four of them in this small gathering, which shows how much Zhou Ping and Zhang Xiaoyue are loved by Mu Ruqing.

This meal has nothing to do with state affairs, regardless of identity, it is more like a handover ceremony for the older generation of the southern country, but these two rookies in the southern country are destined not to take over this burden.

"When it's over in Kyoto, go back to my hometown and see Uncle Zhou for me. Chu Li put his arm around Zhou Ping's shoulders and said drunkenly, "This time I came and went in a hurry, and there are still many matters waiting for me to deal with at the border, so I really can't spare time to go back." ”

"I'll go back and put incense on your old cigarette pouch. Zhou Ping said with a flushed face.

Chu Li looked at Zhou Ping for a long time with complicated eyes, and sighed, "Alas, how good it would be if you were really my son, if there was a son like you, then my Chu Li would not be in vain in this life." ”

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes were red and he glanced back at Chu Li, and drank all the wine in the cup, but he didn't say a word.

This meal was not over until the sky was white, Chu Li stood on the palace wall and looked at the rising sun not far away, blowing the morning breeze comfortably, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

At some point, Zhou Ping appeared beside him and admired the rising sun in the distance with him.

"Do you already have a guess about that dark chess?" Chu Li asked in a deep voice, "Is Chen Bi'an helping you check these things this time?"

Zhou Ping nodded and replied, "They are waiting, I am waiting, everything will not be decided until you leave Kyoto!"

No matter what the other party's plan is, as long as Chu Li is still in Kyoto, they will definitely not dare to act rashly, this is the deterrent power of the southern god of war. They are waiting for Chu Li to leave, once Chu Li leaves the other party, he will inevitably show his feet, and Zhou Ping can really let go of his hands and feet and have a good time with them!

The sun still rose as usual every day, and the car that came to pick up Chu Li also stayed outside the palace and waited for a long time, Chu Li stretched his waist and walked down the city wall without looking back, just waved his hand and left a sentence for Zhou Ping:

"Let's go, Ping'er!"

Zhou Ping didn't answer him, and when Chu left the city wall and was about to get into the car, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the city wall not far away.

"Be careful all the way!" Zhou Ping seemed to have something in his chest, and it wasn't until Chu got into the car and walked away that he finally said the last word.

"Dad, be careful all the way!"

The southern god of war looked at the little guy on the city wall who was gradually disappearing from view, and his eyes gradually blurred.

"This little bastard really follows me, stubborn like a donkey!"

Chu Li sat in the car and looked back, although he was far away, he could still tell what he was saying from Zhou Ping's mouth.

Love can be deep and heavy, and this love doesn't need too many words to express, but Zhou Ping and Chu Li both clearly know that it exists, and it is buried deep in the hearts of the two, just like an ordinary father and son - speechless, but deep.

Chu Li left Kyoto, and now he is the president of the Qiancheng Army and the Yama Army, so the people who returned to Beijing from the two teams followed Chu Li back to the border pass.

At this time, the Qiancheng Army had experienced so many changes, coupled with the losses in the previous battles, it was a little difficult to integrate the team, and it could only rely on Chu Li to slowly integrate after returning to the border pass. Chu Li has a lot of affairs now, and he can only return to the border as soon as possible to deal with it.

However, it was precisely because the situation of the Qiancheng Army was now complicated that it was difficult for the various battalions to integrate their troops, so when they returned to the border pass, no one found that more than a dozen soldiers had disguised themselves as civilians and hid in Kyoto City, hiding in the shadows.

Each unit of the Thousand Cities Army is only a few people missing, and they are still the most inconspicuous ones, even if they find out, they will only be regarded as escaping, after all, the current Thousand Cities Army has been reintegrated, and this news is fatal for some people.

The layout around Kyoto has finally begun to unfold step by step, will Zhou Ping be able to catch the flaw exposed by the dark chess piece, and what kind of plans do the dozen or so mysterious people hiding in Kyoto have?

Who did Chen Bi'an go to investigate, and why didn't he come back for a month?

Even Zhang Xiaoyue left Kyoto to distribute Pingyue silver everywhere, and now only Zhou Ping is left alone in Kyoto, this time he can only fight this last crisis alone!
