"It's like this, good news has arrived from the front, the southern part of the city has been breached, our army of 600,000 men has entered the city, it seems that we will soon be able to capture the imperial palace" The plain was filled with smiles.
Song Chu was slightly startled in his heart, could it be that Zhao Guo really wanted to change its master?
"Hmm" Zhao Yilou responded calmly.
Chuan Ping saw the situation, restrained his smile and respectfully said, "Also, last night Master Fan ordered that before fully occupying Wang City, Mr. Song is not allowed to leave the camp without permission, and...". He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Master Fan also cannot leave the tent."
This is equivalent to house arrest, but Zhao Yilou doesn't care about it either. Even if there was no order, what's the difference? Wasn't she also confined here before?
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, such a command was not surprising at all. She was just very curious about this young master Fan and felt that Chuanping had been showing favor to Zhao Yilou, so she asked, "I wonder what position Master Fan holds?"
Chuan Ping Zheng Ba couldn't help but show off in front of Zhao Yi Lou, and Song Chu Yi gave him the opportunity. He was overjoyed in his heart, but on his face, he said seriously, "General Ren Da Jun's position is not that General Fan doesn't like others calling him 'Da Jiang Jun'".
"But why?" Song Chu asked
"Master Fan's temperament is unpredictable, and even I can't guess what he's thinking." - Kawahira Michi
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it was roughly estimated that this young master considered himself to be among the ranks of kings and marquises, thinking that his noble bloodline far surpassed that of generals and ministers.
"How long did I sleep?" Song Chu asked Zhao Yilou as he turned his head.
"One day" Zhao Yilou said
It seems that Gongzi Fan is bound to win this time. Although they have been at a stalemate for several months, they broke into the imperial city in just one day and night, which is really not easy.
Chuan Ping thought for a moment, just about to find some topics to talk to Song Chu with, when he heard from outside a clear and elegant male voice, "Hua Rong Jian requests an audience with the young master."
Zhao Yi Lou slightly frowned
Kawa saw Zhao Yi Lou's subtle expression and his heart suddenly fluttered. It turned out that his efforts over this period of time were still effective, at least for now he hadn't been rejected.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, after seeing Zhao Yi Lou for a while without any movement, he had no choice but to say, "Please come in."
Hua Rong Jian had never heard Zhao Yi Lou's voice before and thought it was him speaking, so he lifted the curtain and walked in.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a young man with a jade-like face and wearing a white robe with dark blue silk belt and a long, narrow sleeve walked in. He had a gentle smile on his face, but it was strange that people couldn't feel close to him.
Hua Rong Jian swung open his wide sleeves and bowed to Zhao Yi Lou with a salute, "I've seen the young master."
This situation, Song initially didn't dare to interrupt, so he swallowed his saliva and glanced at Chuan Ping with a hint of expression.
Chuan Ping reacted and hastily changed the subject, saying "I suppose Brother Rong has also heard that Master Fan has been placed under house arrest."
In short, Zhao Yi Lou didn't bother with him because of this matter, and it wasn't that he had an opinion about him, but also gave Hua Rong Jian a step down.
"It was originally because of this matter" Hua Rongjian knew the truth and could only smile faintly to save face, "If the young master wants to go out, he can just go out. Although Young Master Fan is a great general, does he still want to control the monarch?"
As soon as Song Chu put down his teacup, he thought to himself: "Now that the Huas are in a relationship with Master Fan, the Wus will surely rise above them later on. I must make sure that Master Fan and the Huas don't forget about the Wus."
It's actually not that hard to do this, after all, the power of the Wu family is not to be underestimated. As long as Zhao Yi Lou shows a bit more trust in Chuan Ping, and reminds those two forces not to rush into self-destruction.
"Haha, just now I heard Mr. Ping say that Master Hua's youngest son has an extraordinary demeanor, and indeed, he is truly impressive at first sight." 'Youngest son' refers to the youngest of the Hua brothers, implying that Hua Rongjian is the youngest among his siblings.
Song Chu smiled and stood up, bowing to Hua Rongjian, "I am Song Huaiyin, a friend of Master Gong's. Seeing your noble demeanor for the first time, I spoke rashly and impulsively. Please forgive me."
Hua Rong was slightly surprised, first because he was astonished that Zhao Yi Lou still had friends among the scholars, and the person who had just let him in was this young man; secondly, because for the first time he saw Zhao Yi Lou's clean and refreshing appearance, which turned out to be an unexpected elegance; thirdly, because he wondered why Chuan Ping would speak well of him in front of Zhao Yi Lou.
Chen Ping was also puzzled when he had mentioned this matter, but what Song Chuyi said wasn't anything bad, so he didn't show his doubts on his face.
"Ji Zi doesn't speak, is it because of blaming Huai Jin?" Zhao Yi Lou said coldly.
Hua Rong Jian smiled and said, "I don't dare, I just saw that the young master's appearance is unmatched in this world, and I was a bit dazed." After speaking, he bowed deeply to Song Chu, "I hope Mr. will forgive me"
Song Chu helped him up with both hands and they sat down together after yielding to each other.
Zhao Yilou continued to focus on the chessboard, while Song Chu'er and Hua Rongjian were talking. Seeing him like this, they worried in their hearts that he might have a hard time adapting to this life of deception for a while, but his position wouldn't allow him to follow his nature. If he was really left alone, would anything be left?
After some deliberation, I think people all grow up under the pressure of adversity. Zhao Yilou is a stubborn and proud person, so he shouldn't be easily defeated.
Hua Rongjian knew it was impossible to get close to Zhao Yi Lou directly, so he gave up trying to curry favor with him and instead started with Song Chu Yi, who seemed to still care about their friendship.
Zhao Yilou watched as Song Chu Yi chatted with ease, and didn't have the heart to continue playing chess, instead teasing Baijian.
For the next two days, Song Chu was busy dealing with relationships and had no time to care about them.
After dinner
At first, Song Chu told Zhao Yi Lou about the affairs of the Hu and Wu families, as well as those of various other large and small clans, and instructed him on how to treat them.
Zhao Yi Lou listened attentively and saw her stop talking, couldn't help but ask, "Are you leaving?"
Song Chu drank a mouthful of water, nodded, "These past few days I haven't inquired about the war situation, but vaguely I can sense that I have an appointment with someone to meet four days from now, and there are also people in the city who came with me, I cannot ignore them"
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Outside the account, Kawahira's urgent voice is getting closer and closer
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a figure pushed aside the thick curtains and saw a panting and gasping for breath Chuan Ping running over. "There is a strong man wearing the armor of the national guard outside the camp, covered in blood, saying he's looking for Ji Bian. The captain asks you to come down and ask if you know this person. If not, shoot him dead with arrows immediately."
"Qī Fán! He is my guard!" Song Chūyī said, pulling Chuān Píng, "Take me to see him!"
"Prince, please return to your tent!" The guard blocked Zhao Yilou who wanted to follow together.
