Demoness Ruonan’s efficiency is very high, Zhu Pingan only said with Demoness Ruonan in the evening that he would like to see their cottage in charge, when he got up and washed up the next morning, Demoness Ruonan replied to Zhu Pingan and said that their in charge had agreed to it, and that they were about to meet Zhu Pingan in the morning at eternity in the small grove in the south-west of the county outside of the county town.
“There are so many groves outside the southwest, which one exactly?”Zhu Pingan asked while brushing his teeth with tooth powder.
“Cluck cluck cluck ……Stinky brother, I’ll take you there and make sure you can’t get lost.”Demoness Ruonan giggled and said, while saying so, she smoothly handed Zhu Pingan a cup for him to rinse his mouth.
“That’s good.”Zhu Pingan nodded and took the cup of water handed over by the Demoness Ruo Nan and started gargling.
“The cottagers said that for this meeting, you can only bring a maximum of two people.”Demoness Ruo Nan then added.
“No problem.”Zhu Pingan nodded.
“Lol ……Stinky brother, aren’t you afraid that I will sell you? Our cottage will have a good year if we kidnap you, the dog official.”The demoness Ruo Nan winked her beautiful eyes at Zhu Pingan and cackled.
“Wuxi Miao has a congregation of seventy thousand people and still doesn’t dare to touch a single hair on my head, how many people can you have in your mountain fortress?!”
Zhu Pingan rinsed his mouth and spat out the mouthwash, smiled and swept a glance at the demoness Ruo Nan and asked leisurely.
“Arrogant!”Demoness Ruo Nan rolled her eyes.
After having breakfast, Zhu Pingan went to the county office to make arrangements, brought along Liu Mu and Liu Dazhou, and then left the city with Demoness Ruo Nan. On the way, Zhu Pingan briefly told Liu Mu and Liu Dazhou about Demoness Ruo Nan’s true identity, and briefly told them the purpose of the trip as well.
“Ah? Ruo Nan is actually from the mountain fortress?”
Liu Dazhu’s mouth opened as wide as a bellows in surprise after learning the identity of the demoness Ruo Nan.
Although Liu Mu was also surprised, but did not want to Liu Dazhu so surprised, in fact, he has long been on the identity of the demoness Ruonan some suspicion, feeling that the demoness Ruonan is not so simple, secretly stared at the demoness Ruonan for a long time. However, the demoness Ruonan’s high level of Taoism, anti-detection ability is strong, has not revealed his footsteps.
Duke, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. They have been plotting against you for a long time, this trip is undoubtedly a sheep in a tiger’s mouth, please think twice, Your Excellency.”After Liu Mu learnt about what happened, he stepped forward to stop Zhu Pingan and advised, his eyes vigilantly looking at the Demoness Ruo Nan, preventing the Demoness Ruo Nan from misbehaving against Zhu Pingan.
“That’s right, Your Excellency. Why bother so much, mobilise the men and horses over there, not afraid that they won’t defect.”
Liu Da Dao also chimed in.
“Hehe, there is no need to be so nervous, in fact, I have known Miss Ruo Nan and I since the imperial examinations.”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and said softly to both Liu Mu and Liu Dazhu, “Miss Ruonan’s fabricated identity to blend into the government office this time was also a misunderstanding that I was a corrupt official, after the misunderstanding was resolved, it was nothing. If you want to plot against me, you wouldn’t have waited until today, and you wouldn’t have risked going to the Wuxi Miao camp with us to beckon me to surrender. Nowadays, the Japanese are repeatedly attacking the border, and it is the right time to use them. If we can recruit their cottage, buy horses with thousands of gold, and drive the surrounding cottages in Jingnan to recruit and surrender, we can not only solve the problem of mountain bandits scourging the people, but also get a group of troops to fight against the Japanese invaders. Two birds with one stone, why not.”
“My lord, even if Miss Ruo Nan’s aunt can be trusted, but what about the others in the mountain fortress? Mountain bandits are profit-oriented, short-sighted, and prone to reckless and impulsive behaviour, so please think twice.”Liu Mu advised again.
“Don’t worry, I’m a fifth-ranking member of the court, representing the dignity and face of the court, if I’m not favourable to me, then it’s provoking the court and hitting the court’s face, the only way is to die. The 70,000-strong Wuxi Miao wouldn’t dare to touch a hair on my head, and their cottage wouldn’t dare to do me any harm. Besides, with the two of you around, can’t you still protect my well being?”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and said to the two.
“Don’t worry, Your Excellency, with us here, no one will want to hurt a hair on your Excellency’s head.”Liu Dazhu patted his chest and assured.
Liu Mu glared at Liu Dajie, Liu Dajie scratched his head, not knowing what he did wrong ……
There is no such thing as 100% safety in the world, you can choke on your food, you can choke on your water ……We can’t give up eating for fear of choking. As a parent official of Jingnan, I am responsible for the protection of the territory and the people, and I am going to be the Commander of the Zhejiang Criminal Investigation Department, and I am responsible for the organisation of the regiment, so I am duty-bound to take this trip.”
Zhu Pingan said to Liu Mu, his gaze full of determination.
“Your Excellency’s lesson is correct, I and Dagger swear to protect your Excellency’s safety.”Liu Mu said firmly.
“Swear to protect your son’s safety.”Liu Dazhu followed suit.
Zhu Pingan was touched by his words.
However, just when it was moving, the big spoiler came, Demoness Ruo Nan spat and snapped, “Blah blah blah, what’s dead or not, what are you guys talking about, as if we’re a bunch of sinister villains. Don’t worry, I guarantee with my life that Book Nerd will never be in any danger on this trip.”
“That’s best.”Liu Mu and Liu Da Dao hummed.
“What an attitude, it’s clearly the book nerd begging me to meet ……”Demoness Ruonan gave an irritated rant.
“Alright, Miss Ruonan, please lead the way.”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and reached out to make a please gesture.
“It’s not far ahead, see that forest, it’s inside.”Demoness Ruonan hummed, twisted her willow waist a little, and continued to lead the way, pointing to a grove not far ahead, and said to Zhu Pingan.
Just as Zhu Pingan and his party were walking towards the grove, Wang Zhi, who was far away in Zhoushan Leaf Harbour, received an official reply from the imperial court.
Before receiving the reply from the court, Wang Zhi had been looking forward to it in his heart, holding great expectations for the court, expecting the court to grant his request to open a harbour to the city, expecting him to be able to span the four seas and make great achievements.
However, things are not as wishful thinking as Wang Zhi thought.
Wang Zhi full of excitement to meet the return of the heart, open the court’s reply, to meet him is a pot of cold water. The court’s reply, not only did not agree to his request to open the port and the city, but also a stern rebuke against the Ming ban and the sea, following the forgetfulness of the Chinese righteousness, into the country as a traitor, seducing the Japanese barbarians, for the scourge of the Southeast, on the dry in the national policy, under the poison in the living creature, a great evil, the evil of the heavens ……Make him clean up his heart and attack the burning and plundering pirates to thank for the crime, and then watch the after-effects ……
Pah!
Wang Zhi read the letter, burst of anger, a letter slapped on the table, pulled out the waist of the Japanese sword a knife chopped up.
“Deception is too much!”
“Deception is too much!”
“Deceived too much!”
Wang Zhi roared in anger while chopping, and in no time the court’s reply letter was chopped to pieces.
For a while, the surrounding maids and guards were all afraid to breathe, trembling with fear and trembling as they watched Wang Zhi where he chopped the letter to vent his anger.
