Taisun Mansion·Gateway

"Minister Liu, please!"

Zhou Licheng did not leave alone, but reached out to let Liu Zhan sit, got on the seat by himself, handed Liu Zhan a hand stove, said "get up", and the ox cart slid steadily.

Both of them didn't say anything for a moment. In the snowy weather, the streets were all in the snow curtains, and the distance was not clear. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets and yamen and alleys. Only the sound of cows stepping in the snow water, and the snowflakes falling down, hitting the felt tent.

After a long time, Zhou Licheng narrowed his eyes, looked outside, and sighed: "The real person may be surprised. Why did he take the liberty to invite him? It's just that Zhou's daughter came back not long ago, but it's very different from before, so..."

Zhou Licheng's hesitation made Liu Zhan immediately understand why he invited himself to the mansion at night.

It turned out that something happened to Zhou Licheng's daughter. I hope I can help see if my beloved daughter has gotten into something unclean.

This is indeed early rather than late.

"Since Lord Zhou said that, I will go and take a look." Liu Zhan narrowed his eyes.

Although I had known that Liu Zhan would agree, Zhou Licheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he really agreed, and a hint of helplessness arose in his heart.

His daughter Zhou Yao suddenly disappeared before, which made him and his wife anxious, but they were afraid that they would ruin their daughter's reputation, so they always sent people to search for her without making any big fuss.

Just when he had lost hope in retrieving his daughter, Zhou Yao returned safely...

But the return daughter has changed a lot from the past.

First of all, Zhou Yao has become more beautiful. Of course, this beauty can still allow familiar people to distinguish their facial features. It is more about changes in temperament, with more delicate facial features, better skin, and more refined temperament. When subtle changes are combined, a stunning beauty will be formed.

But such a daughter made Zhou Licheng and his wife uneasy. Even if they could tell that this was indeed their own daughter, such a big change and the reason why they refused to tell the truth no matter how they asked, both made the couple anxious.

Zhou Licheng and Liu Zhan had not had much deep friendship, but they could also talk to each other, so they decided to ask him to come to the mansion to help.

If your daughter has something to do, I hope she can help solve it. If nothing happens, it will also prevent the couple from being suspicious.

There was nothing to say on the way, and he soon arrived at the Zhou Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Licheng immediately explained: "Go and invite the lady to my study."

"yes!"

Zhou Licheng took Liu Zhan to the study first. When he went in, he saw the servant just burning charcoal fire and put it directly in a copper basin to bring some heating to the cold study.

"I'm laughing." Zhou Licheng said with a wry smile.

"This is adults' love for their children, how can they laugh?" Liu Zhan took the hot tea and looked around. It was all books, and some of them were depreciated, which seemed not a decoration.

Perhaps because Zhou Yao had not yet fallen asleep, after a while, Zhou Yao's voice rang outside the study door: "Father, my daughter is here."

"Yao'er, come in and see what dad brought you back." Zhou Licheng immediately said to the outside, and looked at Liu Zhan at the same time.

The door was pushed open, and the girl slowly walked in from outside. Liu Zhan looked over and his eyes narrowed slightly.

In theory, it is a bit inappropriate to say that a girl is based on Zhou Yao's current age.

But she seemed to be frozen when she was a girl. She looked cold, but she became charming in a blink of an eye. She couldn't find any flaws. More importantly, she had an indescribable charm.

No, it's not just the charm.

Although Zhou Licheng was a little surprised and suspicious of his daughter, he was not in the officialdom for a long time. After his daughter came in, he asked her to salute Liu Zhan and handed the manuscript he had just put in the box to his daughter: "Yaoer, look, what is this?"

Zhou Yao took it, just looked it through, and immediately recognized it as Su Ziji's poems and articles.

She didn't seem to care much about Liu Zhan. She glanced at him and then became stunning. Zhou Licheng was in a complicated mood, but continued to say: "The people from Taisun's Mansion asked the father to compile these manuscripts into a collection of essays and print them. In the past two days, you can take the manuscripts to read them and correct a mistake. When needed, the father will ask you for it."

Zhou Yao raised her head, and a faint smile appeared on her face, which had no expression,: "Thank you, dad."

"You are my daughter, are you grateful for your words?" Zhou Licheng said with a smile and looked at Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan sat there, with a face that had no expression at first, and at this moment he had no expression, but this expression made Zhou Licheng swallow subconsciously and his eyes fell back to his daughter. Although his daughter smiled faintly, she was still calm, as if no matter what, she could not have a big emotional fluctuation.

"Nothing is in my heart."

Is the girl in front of me still her own daughter? At this moment, this idea even emerged in Zhou Licheng's heart, making his heart beat.

Because Zhou Licheng was not alone here, and Liu Zhan was there, Zhou Yao had not stayed in Zhou Licheng's study for too long, so she said good night to her father, then bid farewell to Liu Zhan, and left.

"Real person, why are you... surprised just now?" Zhou Licheng finally couldn't help but ask.

Liu Zhan hesitated and said, "I am a little unsightly."

"The real person's words made Zhou even more uneasy." Zhou Licheng's eyelids jumped down.

Liu Zhan did not say that his daughter was fine, but said that he could not see through it. Doesn’t it mean that there was something wrong with his daughter?

"But it's not that I haven't seen anything, but if you look closely, you will find that the auspicious aura of a thousand gold is lingering, and it seems to be indescribable. It can be said that... you have a phoenix aura..."

"Feng Qi?" Zhou Licheng was shocked. This was something he had never thought about.

This is also the reason why Liu Zhan hesitated. He pondered and said nothing. This precious and phoenix aura was like a thread of smoke, covering his eyebrows. In this moment, it seemed that there was a little more.

Everything is not out of thin air. Where does it come from and who will come true?

Taisun Mansion

“Huh?”

Looking at the steps, the snowflakes outside fell swaying. Su Ziji suddenly exclaimed, and the original uneasiness and palpitations subsided a lot.

He touched the very well-behaved fox in his arms, thinking about something.

"Maybe, is it that there is any change in the Dragon Palace?"

Seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, the snow was deep, covering a thick layer. I remembered that the person from the palace had just ordered that he would enter the palace. Su Ziji stopped thinking, and then heard the footsteps. When he turned around, he saw Zeng Nianzhen strode over, and he couldn't see clearly under the lamp, just a respectful gift.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Su Ziji said lightly: "The emperor may not be kind to me, do you know."

"I understand."

"If there is one year, how many more people can we have?"

Zeng Nianzhen immediately understood and thought for a while: "Lord, if you give me a year, you can at least 500 more people."

There were only 1,000 people in total, and Li Shimin only had 800 people at that time.

In addition, the guards and the Yulin Guards that may be pulled out are a difference between a stream and a river compared to the military power held by the emperor, but there are 1,000 soldiers who are loyal to them, which can play a big role in themselves at critical moments.

Su Ziji nodded: "I believe in you only in the military training. You still need to deal with this matter. Remember not to let the outside world discover that the military training you are practicing will be Gu's trump card."

"I understand!"

"Also, you must have revealed traces. If you don't do anything at all, it would be unreasonable. You should openly build the plank road, secretly travel to Chencang, and return your troops first."

Zeng Nianzhen thought: "Yes, I understand. I am still practicing overseas, and now people are also going back."

"But I ran around again to recruit so-called martial arts masters and disciples for the lord."

"Good, that's right." Su Ziji was very satisfied. The so-called martial arts masters and disciples were actually just eye-catching but not useful, but Zeng Nianzhen was able to rest assured by running around for this.

Seeing that the car had arrived, Su Ziji patted him on his shoulder: "You go and do it!"
