Chapter 213 Returning to Beijing, Being a Dog (24)

Capital Ferry.

When the Red Parrot docked, Su Yuan and his party got off the ship, looking at the familiar place, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's back!
"It's not easy."

Su Yuan took off his bamboo hat and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although this trip to the East Japan did not take too long overall, the density of things per unit time is still very high.

Since arriving in Dongwo, there has been no day of leisure, which is a little bit more intense for Su Yuan.

He now wants to go back to the house quickly and have a good sleep.

Returning to Beijing from the suburbs, when he arrived at the east gate, he saw someone he knew was already waiting at the gate.

"I'm back." Zhou Shu smiled.

She still looks the same, wearing a plain horse face skirt, with gentle eyebrows and a peaceful face, which makes people feel safe and comfortable when they see her.

Su Yuan didn't feel it before, but after a period of separation this time, and seeing him again, he realized that he really missed this girl a little bit.

"Princess Lao greets you personally." He walked over and joked.

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes at him lightly: "Let's go."

"Walk."

After entering the city, Su Yuan found that the capital had undergone considerable changes in the short time he had been away.

Some previously rebuilt houses have been built, some roads have also been widened and restored, and the positions of vendors on the streets are also more orderly, and they are no longer as messy as before.

Looking into the distance, you can see that the construction of the central park in the inner city is progressing rapidly, and the gate and courtyard walls have already been erected. It is estimated that it will take another month or two to have a rough outline.

"You guys have done a good job while I'm away."

"Fortunately, everyone is very hardworking." After Zhou Shu finished speaking, he asked again, "Master Lu asked me to ask you if you want to hold a celebration banquet? If you want to do it, he has already prepared it and can do it tonight .”

"The celebration banquet..."

Everything that the Bei'an Army did in Dongwo was reported back to the capital.

The news of defeating Dongwa and occupying its capital had been previously published in the Mansion Newspaper. The people in the capital were naturally very excited. The atmosphere in the whole city was very festive these days.

The victory this time was certainly related to the summoning of soldiers, but it was also inseparable from the hard work of real soldiers such as masters of the rivers and lakes.

It stands to reason that a celebration banquet will be held to reward them.

but……

Su Yuan rubbed his brows, he was really tired, and he really didn't have the heart to do these things.

Zhou Shu looked at him for a while, and asked, "Otherwise, Master Lu will handle it, so you don't want to participate."

"is this okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Zhou Shu smiled, "I'm telling the truth, you don't want to listen to it."

"No, you say."

"Those masters of the rivers and lakes are actually a little afraid of you. When you are not here, they are more able to let go and celebrate."

"..."

Good guy, have I become an atmosphere destroyer?

Su Yuan was speechless, but he also understood that what Zhou Shu said made sense.

Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, the atmosphere of a company dinner will be completely different with or without the boss.

The boss can't let go of the employees, so he has to always consider the boss' mood and attitude.When the boss is away, the employees don't care about other people's feelings, and the atmosphere will naturally be more enthusiastic.

"Why, didn't you say you wouldn't like to hear it?"

Zhou Shu slightly tilted his head and said, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Su Yuan was helpless: "Okay, let Wuyou prepare, I won't participate."

"Okay, then I'll go find Lord Lu later."

"Hmm... is there any major event in the capital these days?"

"There are things, but it shouldn't be a big deal." Zhou Shu said, "You should rest first and then understand it?"

"Alright."

Su Yuan also felt that he shouldn't bother too much now.

Back at the mansion, the old housekeeper Yang Zhen cleaned him up, changed his clothes, took a hot bath, and went back to his room to rest.

One sleep lasted for one day, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already noon of the second day.

"Ah--"

After yawning long, Su Yuan dressed energetically and got up.

He went to his usual office and saw Lu Wuyou waiting for him.

"My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so handsome and heroic."

"Good, Lu Wuyou." Su Yuan scolded with a smile, "When did you learn this trick?"

Lu Wuyou also laughed and said, "This is the words from the bottom of my heart."

"Okay, it's early in the morning... Cough! Waiting here at noon, there must be something. Go, go into the room and talk."

The two entered the room and sat down at the table. Lu Wuyou took out a few secret letters from his long sleeves.

"This is?"

"My lord, this is a letter from Jiangnan." Lu Wuyou said, "It's all written by high officials. One of them is Shangshu."

"What about the content?"

"I hope that I can return to the prince and be an internal response to the prince, in exchange for forgiveness of their crimes after the prince seizes Jiangnan in the future."

Su Yuan smiled: "Why, they have received news again?"

"I'm afraid so."

It has been so many days since the Bei'an Army attacked the Eastern Japanese mainland, it is impossible for it not to spread.

Jiangnan naturally knew about this matter... and it was nearly a week ago that Naijing was captured, so Jiangnan probably has already obtained this news.

It is conceivable that they originally thought that the Bei'an Army would be defeated this time, but the result was quite different.

The Bei'an Army captured the capital of the Eastern Japan!
It is conceivable how much this incident shocked Jiangnan officials.

Because Dongbo is an overseas island country, and the Bei'an army has the ability to cross the sea to occupy other people's capitals, so the fall of Jiangnan is not a matter of time?

Many officials thought to themselves that the Southern Zhou regime might not last even a year!
Few people are willing to sink with Nan Zhou's wrecked ship, so those who have energy now, some hope to get on line with the Bei'an Army, and some are already arranging to go to sea.

"Wuyou, what do you think about this matter?" Su Yuan didn't rush to make a decision.

Lu Wuyou said: "My lord, I think that since these people are willing to surrender, we can agree first."

"You mean, promise to reduce their crimes after capturing Jiangnan in the future?"

"That's not the case." Lu Wuyou shook his head, "The lower officials want to promise them that they will help us find out the whereabouts of those overseas high officials who are fleeing abroad."

Su Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"The prince will definitely not be willing. Those who have committed the most crimes can successfully escape overseas and enjoy themselves happily? The lower official thought to himself, if only relying on ships to blockade, I am afraid there will be fish that slip through the net. Therefore, using their internal staff, knowing that they are going to flee The country and location in the country will make it easier to capture people back in the future.”

After Lu Wuyou finished speaking, Su Yuan laughed out loud.

"Haha, worry-free, you really understand me!"

"The lower official just wants to share more worries for the prince."

Lu Wuyou said frankly, if it were any other high-ranking person who said Su Yuan's words, his subordinates would definitely be terrified.You may think that you guess what you want and cause dissatisfaction.

But Lu Wuyou knew that Su Yuan was different from those people and would not care about such things at all.

"Then do it like this." Su Yuan made a final decision, "I'll leave it to you to reply and contact me."

"Yes, my lord."

"There are other things."

When Su Yuan came back yesterday, Zhou Shuna obviously had something to say, he wanted to ask Lu Wuyou if he knew.

Lu Wuyou nodded: "Your Majesty, after the news of your seizure of the capital of the Eastern Japanese Empire spread, envoys from various countries in Beijing have come."

"yes."

When Su Yuan thought about it, it was normal.

Lu Wuyou said: "Among them, those who reacted most violently were the small countries in South Vietnam and several overseas western countries."

"Oh?"

"Those overseas and western countries accused you of wanton aggression, my lord, and urged you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible and return the capital to the Eastern Japanese. As for the envoys of the small countries in South Vietnam, they all said that you, your lord, are too belligerent and have seriously threatened the region. Safety."

Su Yuan sneered: "This group of idiots, why didn't I see them talking so much when the Eastern Japanese robbed the capital port."

"...After all, my lord, your great achievements are too amazing." Lu Wuyou said with a smile, "You have conquered an entire country. And it didn't take long. As it should be."

"They should be afraid." Su Yuan said lightly, "When I finish cleaning up Jiangnan, it will be their turn next."

Lu Wuyou nodded slightly.

He knew it would be like this, because the small countries in South Vietnam were darker than the original Great Zhou.

Although Dazhou also exploited and oppressed the people, at least they would not blatantly engage in such things as life sacrifices. Those who do this are all cults in Dazhou.However, in several small countries in South Vietnam, there are even royal families who openly sacrifice the common people, or build royal colosseums, and the beasts in them are human beings...

Lu Wuyou knew that Su Yuan would not be used to these behaviors.The dream of both of them is to bring peace to the world and to build a world free from disease, so naturally these behaviors cannot be allowed to exist.

It can be said that it will be a matter of time to crusade against South Vietnam and other countries.

As for overseas countries...

Su Yuan killed the Third Fleet of Xifeng Country, this beam had been formed long ago, and he didn't take their condemnation seriously at all.

"Let them condemn it." Su Yuan smiled, "Anyway, it's their own business to get angry."

Lu Wuyou worried: "I'm afraid that they will join forces and send a combined fleet to deal with us."

"They will come if they have the seeds. It just so happens that our fleet is still short of ships. There is a nursery rhyme that is well hidden. There are no ships, no guns, and the enemy built them for us~"

"..."

Lu Wuyou couldn't laugh or cry, he really didn't know where his prince heard this song from.

After making a joke, Su Yuan patted Lu Wuyou on the shoulder: "Don't worry, our own fleet is also developing. And this time we captured Dongwa, and got several good natural ports, which can accelerate the formation of our fleet."

"Yes, I have heard from Master Zhou about this matter. By the way, my lord, one of the envoys who came here is different from the others. They are here to congratulate the lord on his victory."

"Oh?" Su Yuan became interested now.Envoys from other countries come to condemn, but this one is here to congratulate, the way has been widened.

"Which country's envoy?"

"Xia Li Country."

……

Xia Liguo, Seoul Prefecture.

The Li Dynasty has ruled this small country for hundreds of years. The current king is Li Zongheng, who is the No. 20 successor of the third generation.

Li Zongheng is very young, only 30 years old this year, his father died early due to illness, and he was just a teenager when he inherited the throne.Although he is young, with the help of capable ministers, he has gradually stabilized his rule.

At this moment, Li Zongheng, who was wearing a red dragon suit and a winged crown, was sitting in front of a pond in the palace, fishing with a fishing rod.

This is his only hobby as King Xia Li, and he would enjoy fishing to pass the time when he has nothing to do.

It's just that today is different from the past, he has been fishing for more than two hours, and he hasn't taken the bait yet.The servants in charge of serving were a little scared, for fear that the king would not be able to catch fish and would be in a bad mood to punish them.

However, Li Zongheng himself understood that the reason why he couldn't catch fish was because he couldn't calm down at all.

If your mind is restless, your hands will be unstable, and you will always be unable to hold back and swing the rod. How could the fish take the bait.

As for why he is restless, it is naturally related to what happened in Dongwo.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, a shout came, and Li Zongheng raised his eyelids to see that the person who came was a man of his age.

He rarely showed a smile: "Sunwoo."

The person who came was Jin Shanyu, his childhood playmate and current Dr. Cao.

The official system of Xiali followed that of the Great Zhou, and there were six parts in the Great Zhou, and there were six Caos in Xiali.

This Jin Shanyu is the son of an old official, Dr. Cao, who grew up with Li Zongheng. Later, after Li Zongheng succeeded to the throne, facing many turmoil, Jin Shanyu also tried his best to help Li Zongheng resist.

For this reason, after Li Zongheng took control of the real power, he immediately promoted his playmate and confidant to Doctor Hu Cao.

After Jin Shanyu approached, he immediately saw the empty fish basket beside Li Zongheng.

"My lord, the harvest is not good today?"

"Yeah. If you're restless, you won't be able to catch it."

"... Your Majesty is still troubled by the Bei'an Army's capture of Dongwanaijing?"

Jin Shanyu knows Li Zongheng very well, and he can get to the point in one sentence.

Li Zongheng was noncommittal, raised his hand and waved.The servants around immediately stepped back, leaving only two people by the pond.

"What do you think, Sunwoo?"

"I said that the king should be happy. The Dongba people also often rob us Xiali fishermen, and this time they were taken away by the Bei'an army, which can be regarded as an insult for us."

"Alas." Li Zongheng sighed, "Yes, I vented my anger. But Shanyu, don't forget that Naikyo, the capital of Eastern Japan, is gone, and the biggest shogun in Naikyo, Shanggong Shingen was hanged in public!"

"..."

"The Bei'an army is so fierce and terrifying, how can you let me rest assured? In the past, the Eastern Japanese only robbed fishermen, but the Bei'an Suyuan robbed... the Wang family." Li Zongheng said quietly.

Jin Shanyu nodded deeply, expressing his understanding.

Indeed, the Bei'an Army's move was a bit ruthless. It was directly equivalent to overthrowing the country of Dongwa, liquidating all the high-level officials, and promoting a woman as a big name, which is probably no different from a puppet.

As for Xiali, who was sandwiched between Bei'an and Dongwa, one can imagine how it would feel.

The Bei'an army took care of Dongwo so easily, if they wanted to move Xiali, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes?

Jin Shanyu seemed to have thought of this problem a long time ago, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a way to solve this matter. I have already asked the envoys in Bei'an to express my congratulations."

"It's no use just congratulating."

"Yes. The most important thing is the next move... Majesty, I think you should learn from Bei'an and ask Su Yuan to send someone over to help change Xiali's policy system!"

"What?" Li Zongheng was startled and angry, "Learn the Bei'an system? And ask Su Yuan to send someone... Shanyu, you bastard! How can you say it? What does this have to do with asking me to be a dog in Bei'an the difference!"
