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

Chapter 686

Facts have proved that people always seek some spiritual value in life.

Wang Ang and Xiong Kuohai have achieved this point and almost monopolized all the power of Jinyiwei. Money is no longer the focus of their lives. In other words, after Zhou Yuan's complete rise, they basically don't need to worry about anything.

But when they heard Zhou Yuan's words, their expressions changed, as if they had returned to the mentality when they first entered the official career, and they were full of energy.

"Great."

Xiong Kuohai's voice was a little low: "To be honest, I have done all kinds of dark things in my life, such as killing people and confiscating property. The word great has nothing to do with it."

"At this age, I am actually qualified to do a great thing, haha, hahaha!"

He laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhou. On this trip to the southwest, Lao Xiong will go all out to help you perfectly solve the Tusi dilemma and complete the southwest... um... what's the word?"

Wang Ang remembered it very clearly: "Liberation!"

"Yes! It's liberation!"

Xiong Kuohai rubbed his hands and smiled: "This is the so-called big business. Although it's unfamiliar, I feel that I haven't found such motivation for a long time. I don't know how my wife will look at me after I retire."

Wang Ang said: "At least Lu Lu is willing to let you go."

"Get out!"

Xiong Kuohai cursed him angrily and said loudly: "Do you think I'm thinking about these dirty things! I have known my wife for many years. It's true love in times of trouble. Along the way Up to now, I have become more and more capable and wealthy, but my wife is not proud of it. "

"Alas, I also want to do something glorious to make my wife happy."

Speaking of this, he immediately said: "No rest! Hurry up! Set off! We must reach Guizhou within half a month!"

Wang Ang hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Don't worry, we don't know where to go in Guizhou."

Zhou Yuan said: "Guizhou Xuanwei Division, Shuixi Tusi."

"Ah?"

Wang Ang was also confused. He glared and said, "Don't go to Qiandongnan? That's where the most Miao people are! How many Miao people are there in Shuixi..."

Zhou Yuan wanted to kick him, and said in a deep voice: "The Tusi in the southwest is the most powerful, with the strongest military force and the deepest contradictions. It is the Tusi in Shuixi."

"Tusi contradictions, ethnic contradictions, and tribal contradictions are all gathered there, and the Tusi in Shuixi is closely connected with the Tusi in Wumeng, Sichuan. It is the place we should go to the most."

Xiaoying and Cai Ni have been waiting for me there for a long time.

Zhou Yuan muttered in his heart.

The carriage continued to move forward and continued to go south.

It was almost rainy all the time along the way, and Zhou Yuan and others also lost the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way. Except for chatting about the situation in the southwest together during meals, they were rushing on the road at all times.

Zhou Yuan was not bored, after all, he had Cai Ni to accompany him. She could dance, sing, understand poetry and literature, and martial arts. At the same time, she had traveled all over the country for many years and had seen the customs of various places. She knew a little about everything.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but praise: "Cai Ni, among the women I know, you are the most talented."

This sentence made Cai Ni blush immediately, shy and surprised, with a light in her eyes, whispering: "Really, sir? Cai Ni doesn't deserve it, but I'm still happy in my heart."

Zhou Yuan hugged her and chuckled: "Look, you sang dozens of songs for me in the past ten days, and every song was very nice."

"You danced more than twenty dances, all kinds of styles."

"You also demonstrated two sets of swordsmanship, the moves are sharp, clean and simple."

"You also know a series of methods that are beneficial to physical and mental health, such as shoulder and neck massage, fingertip roaming, ice and fire, and exciting Yuan Fuyang."

"Speaking of local customs and customs, you are also familiar with them and can do them easily."

He couldn't help pinching Cai Ni's little face and smiled: "Sir, you have you, it's really a great blessing in your previous life."

Cai Ni is a very emotional person.

When she heard these words, tears almost came out. She leaned on Zhou Yuan's arms and choked up, "Master, please don't say that. Cai Ni is where she is today because of your favor. Cai Ni is lucky to be favored by you."

Zhou Yuan touched her hair and whispered, "My Cai Ni used to live a hard life. From now on, you will have your protection and you will no longer have to wander around."

"If your parents knew about this, they would be relieved."

Cai Ni smiled foolishly and said, "Master, you are joking. Cai Ni herself has never seen her parents."

Zhou Yuan frowned and asked in confusion, "When did you start wandering?"

Except for her master, Cai Ni had never told anyone about her childhood experience. It was a deep pain for her.

But at this moment, nestled in the arms of her lover, the pain was nothing, she felt everything was worth it.

"I can't remember."

Cai Ni laughed softly: "Anyway, I was very young, I was already wandering when I was three or five years old."

"At that time, I didn't know what I wanted to do, I couldn't read, I begged for a living every day, and was bullied."

"I wandered until I was eleven years old, and met my master, and then I slowly lived a good life."

Wanyan Daichan is nine years older than Cai Ni, which means that she accepted Cai Ni as her apprentice when she was twenty years old.

Perhaps, she had just come to Dajin not long ago, this is fate.

Cai Ni smiled and said, "Master is very good to me. He wears clean clothes for me, feeds me delicious food, teaches me martial arts, takes me to brothels, and hires special maids to teach me how to read, write, sing and dance."

"If there is no master, there will be no Cai Ni today, so..."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "So after Nurhaci's death, even if you miss me very much, you must accompany her."

Cai Ni said, "Well, I know that the master and the master have a grudge, but there is no way. In the future... I really hope that the master and the master can resolve their hatred in the future."

When she said the last sentence, her voice became very small and she was very unconfident. She was afraid that the master would be angry.

Zhou Yuan noticed her little thoughts and said with a smile: "You can say anything in front of the young master, don't have to worry about anything."

He didn't want to hide it from Cai Ni and make her worry, so he said: "Although Dai Chan and I still have conflicts, it's not the kind of hatred that we have to fight to the death. It's just that we have different positions."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "Your master and I are already... ahem... the same as you."

How could Cai Ni, who came from a brothel, not hear it? Her eyes lit up immediately and she said excitedly: "Really? Really, young master!"

Huh? What's your attitude? Your master and I have a close relationship, shouldn't you feel embarrassed?

Cai Ni said happily: "Great! Great! The two most important people in my life finally have no conflicts. Cai Ni is so happy!"

"Master, Cai Ni can serve you with Master in the future. The three of us will never be separated."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a long time before nodding: "Okay, okay..."

Cai Ni seemed to have untied the biggest knot in her heart. She hugged Zhou Yuan's arm and smiled: "It's great. I'm so lucky. Fate doesn't seem to want to leave me any regrets."

"When I couldn't live anymore, Master appeared. When I was confused and couldn't find the direction of my life, Master appeared."

"Now the three of us are reconciled again. It's great."

Her eyes were shining, and she smiled sweetly: "Master, Master, Cai Ni loves you so much!"

Zhou Yuan was obviously stunned again.

Then he hugged Cai Ni.

He knew in his heart that Cai Ni was not thinking about those forbidden things at this moment. She was just celebrating her luck.

Her feelings were pure, and she just longed for beauty.

"Whoa!"

The carriage stopped, and Xiong Kuohai's voice came from outside: "Master Zhou! We're here! Damn it! It's not easy on this journey!"

Zhou Yuan opened the curtain of the window, and the bright sunshine made him squint slightly.

What is in front of him?

It is the clear blue sky with white clouds floating, the early spring sunshine shining on the earth, the continuous green mountains bursting with surging vitality, the green grass, the blooming mountain flowers, and the flying birds.

This is not heaven and earth, this is clearly a breathtaking painting, every inch of space interprets the definition of beauty.

Shuixi, we have arrived.
