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

Chapter 680

Guan Caixi's letter made Zhou Yuan ponder for a long time, and he began to have a direction to break through the dilemma in the southwest.

He did not rush to think about this problem, but opened the second letter.

The handwriting was beautiful and the ink was round. There was no sharp momentum, but it was steady as a mountain. It should be a woman's handwriting, which Zhou Yuan had never seen before.

He looked carefully:

"McPherson launched a mutiny in November last year, violently seized the economic power of Haojing, and completely controlled the sea."

"The situation in the southeast is in a huge predicament. Silk, tea, cloth, and porcelain are all facing unsalable. Merchants' income has dropped sharply. Chaozhou merchants are almost out of control. Huang Zuoyu comes to complain every day. The situation needs to be resolved urgently."

"Ms. Avina is very worried. At present, she has almost lost everything. She can only pin her hopes on you. Mr. Zhou, our current problem is that the problem of unsalable goods needs to be solved urgently, and there are more and more contradictions in the trading ports. We need a strong If the helpers come to intervene, at least they must stabilize the Chaozhou merchants first. "

"In addition, Ms. Avina asked me to convey a very important question. Can she continue to trust you? Even if she has no choice. "

"In addition, I also have a question to ask you. When exchanging prisoners last year, did you intend to keep me in Haojing in order to continue to control my father? "

Zhou Yuan put away the letter, swallowed his saliva, and murmured: "It's over, Ruan Zhi wrote it, is this blaming me?"

"Ruan Zhi is your wife's good sister, the daughter of Luo Yunhe, the King of Xunnan?"

A pleasant voice sounded in my ears.

Zhou Yuan was delighted and immediately hugged the Virgin Sister, kissed her on the face, and said, "Good uncle, when did you come here?"

Li Yu'an seemed a little shy and said softly, "Nephew, don't be like this, I am your elder."

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "What's wrong with being an elder? Isn't she still a woman lying on the bed! Haha!"

But the next moment, his smile froze.

Su Youzi stood in front, with a gloomy face, and said coldly, "Rebel! Let go of your uncle!"

Zhou Yuan quickly let go and stepped back a few steps, sweat on his face.

Li Yu'an walked up to Su Youzi and said, "Sister, look at him, look at your disciple, he always bullies me like this."

Su Youzi said unhappily, "I see you are enjoying it, your face is almost broken by laughter!"

Li Yu'an said, "Of course I like such a good nephew, you have such a good disciple, but you are reluctant to love him."

Su Youzi looked at Zhou Yuan and frowned, "Yuan Yizi, are you really trapped in the devil? Has the filth of this world completely blinded your heart?"

Zhou Yuan didn't understand what he said, but thought it should be some kind of blame, so he lowered his head and dared not refute.

Seeing his expression, Su Youzi sighed with a sad face, "Thinking back to the beginning, you were so high-spirited and told me that I was going to follow the right path in the world."

"Now you have achieved success, but you have fallen into the initial darkness and lost your way. You really disappoint me!"

Li Yu'an said, "So as a master, shouldn't you help him overcome the difficulties? Shouldn't you let him return to the right path?"

"My dear sister, the people need him, the world needs him, you should help him purify his soul."

Su Youzi shook her head helplessly and said, "Even if I do that, I'm afraid it won't help. I'm worried that he will fall deeper into the devil's way and can't extricate himself."

Li Yu'an said, "You have to believe that the pure Taoism in your body is enough to cleanse his devilish nature."

Su Youzi pondered for a long time before saying, "This matter needs to be considered carefully."

She seemed to be in a dilemma, with a face full of distress, and turned around and walked away slowly.

Zhou Yuan looked at Li Yu'an with a confused look on his face, and said, "Sister Saint, what are you talking about with my master? I think there seems to be something wrong with her Tao heart."

Li Yu'an snorted, "Do you need to ask about our sister's affairs? You have your queen sister, I'm afraid she has long forgotten her uncle."

Zhou Yuan quickly grabbed her little hand and whispered, "Why are you still jealous? You are already 38 years old."

Li Yu'an raised her eyebrows, immediately pushed Zhou Yuan away, and said loudly : "Don't you want to talk nonsense! It's obviously not yet! There's still more than half a year!"

"Okay, okay, now you dislike my age, then break up, I'm going back to Goryeo now!"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly grabbed her and said anxiously: "Why are you angry? How can you dislike me? In my heart, the Virgin Sister will always be a little sister in her twenties."

Li Yu'an looked at him and squinted and said: "Then call me little sister and listen."

Zhou Yuan leaned over and whispered: "Sister Xian, do you like it?"Li Yu'an's eyes were blurred, and the sweetness on her lips could not be hidden. She leaned against his body and said in a tender voice: "Good brother..."

Zhou Yuan immediately shuddered and hugged her.

"Hey, let go!"

Li Yu'an tickled him while laughing, then broke free and said, "Don't mess around, I have something serious to tell you, I plan to go back to Goryeo."

Zhou Yuan glared and said, "What are you going back for? Don't... Did you take my joke seriously?"

Li Yu'an covered her mouth and laughed, "Are you worried about me?"

"Worried, a thousand times."

Li Yu'an said, "Don't worry, your master is going with me this time. In order to take her back to Goryeo, I have been with her for so many days, and my lips are worn out."

"I didn't have much hope, but she actually agreed."

"Later I found out that her Taoism is not as stable as before, and there seems to be a crack. I don't know what went wrong."

As the culprit, Zhou Yuan naturally didn't dare to say much.

Li Yu'an continued, "After Huang Taiji was defeated, he tightened his policies and devoted himself to strengthening the country and governing it, and withdrew his troops from Goryeo."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to take my sister back to meet those old ministers."

"They have been struggling and waiting for me."

"This time when my sister and I go back together, we will definitely give them great confidence and strength. We must integrate the old subordinates of my father and build a force and team of our own. Even if it is weak, it can lay the foundation for the future."

"Otherwise, what is the point of you helping me build the country? Use? We can't even put together the basic structure of the court. "

"So this trip back to Goryeo is necessary, don't persuade me."

She threw herself into Zhou Yuan's arms and said tenderly: "If you persuade me, I will definitely be soft-hearted and want to stay by your side, so don't persuade me, bless me."

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I will ask Zhang Fei to send you dozens of people to go with you, you can use them at the critical moment."

Li Yu'an shook her head and said: "No, they can't move over there because of the language barrier, and my sister and I...ha, I'm afraid we don't need force Support. "

At this point, she looked at Zhou Yuan and said, "Little nephew, I'm just worried about you. I can't accompany you to the south this time. Who will protect you?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Me? I am a martial arts master after all. How many people in the world can assassinate me? Except for Chu Feifan, no one is my opponent."

Li Yu'an said, "I'm afraid that you will be ambushed. It's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow. What if the opponent uses poison?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Don't worry, I'm already making plans to go south. I will take Cai Ni with me. She is also good at using poison."

"Besides, there is Xiaoying girl in the south."

Li Yu'an nodded with relief and said with a smile: "Good nephew, you must pay attention to safety no matter what. Things can be done slowly. If people are gone, everything will be gone. You are not living for one person."

"This time I will obviously stay in Goryeo for a long time. After such a long time together, I will help you accomplish a big thing."

"You will be very happy at that time."

Zhou Yuan just whispered: "I am a little reluctant to leave you."

Hearing such words, Li Yu'an was in a trance, and her heart was full of tenderness.

She felt the warmth of the other party and was also reluctant to leave, but she had to go back to Goryeo.

A wise man will make mistakes in his thousand considerations. If the little nephew fails in the future, Goryeo will be his retreat.

She thought that she could not just focus on the wanton overflow of emotions, but go back to Goryeo to lay a foundation.

In any case, she had to leave a way for the little nephew, a way to survive in desperate situations.
