Chapter 149: Scared to Death

  Chapter 149: Scared by Ta He's Mother

  They were all used to it. When Zhao Yi Lou was not around, Song Chu Yi was basically quiet, but whenever he was there, the two of them yelling at each other was a normal occurrence.

  "Zhen's family has already become naturalized." Zhen Jun sat down with a round belly, and let out a difficult breath.

  "It seems that in Qin Guo, the oil and water are quite sufficient? Not thin but fat! " Song Chu looked at Zhen Jun's increasingly round belly and joked: "It's just that before it was a white bread, now it has become a mixed grain one."

  Zhen Jun burst out laughing and said, "The northwest wind blows people rough, but you, sir, are still white and clean."

  Song Chu smiled and said, "Let's talk about the main issue."

  "Due to this family relocation, my businesses in various countries have encountered some problems. For the time being, I don't have the energy to manage everything, and if I leave it as is, I'm afraid I'll suffer heavy losses. So for now, I'm focusing on reorganizing and consolidating. I rushed over here because I wanted to ask about your intentions, sir. After all, some businesses can be used to gather information." Zhen Jun said.

  Zhen Jun handed over the Zhen family's business accounts to Song Chuyi from the very beginning, and she was also very familiar with the situation. The Zhen family's main businesses were in the four countries of Lu, Qi, Chu, and Wei, and they also had fixed business dealings in Ba and Shu. Among them, the most fundamental place was in the state of Lu, which was absolutely impossible to give up.

  "I suggest we first withdraw from Wei's business," said Song Chu Yi.

  Zhen Jun said in surprise, "Qin and Wei have been at war for a long time, why did you..."

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, "For this reason, Qin Guo will certainly pay the most attention to Wei and will not lack news. This is secondary, from a businessman's point of view, I think that if it can't be helped, we should also consider temporarily giving up on Wei Guo for the time being. As the former overlord country, Gongzi Yang attaches great importance to agriculture and commerce, many large merchants have poured in, and the competition is fierce. Now that Wei Guo has lost its dominance, its population and land are gradually flowing away. From a long-term perspective, it's not worth fighting for this seat."

  Zhen Jun slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Sir, you're truly a great talent! The way of doing business comes so easily to you!"

  "Huh. Stop flattering, who doesn't have this discerning eye? I'm not cut out for business." Song Chu had always been very self-aware. She didn't understand business, but the principles of handling diplomatic relations were similar, and she could clearly analyze the pros and cons.

  Zhen's business in Wei State was huge. The amount of money he earned was also considerable. However, it took up more than half of Zhen Jun's energy. During this period, he was so busy that he was at his wit's end. If he wasn't careful for a moment, problems would arise with his business in Wei State.

  Considering both the immediate and long-term prospects, as well as being optimistic about the outlook on the other side of Qi State, Zhen Jun had already intended to temporarily give up most of his business in Wei State. After all, he had been operating in Wei State for many years, and his connections were not to be underestimated.

  "Has there been any unreliable news recently?" Song Chuoyi asked while fanning away mosquitoes.

  "Sir, I almost forgot to mention that the other day, a message came from Chu Guo saying that Zuo Wu was promoted to Qianfu Zhang in Chu Guo and gained the appreciation of General Xiong Wei."

  "Not bad," Song Chuyi praised.

  She didn't think that Zuoqiu was capable of becoming a high-ranking official in a short period of time, but rather felt that he could finally put aside his pride and find someone who would be helpful to him in the future. Xiong Wei was the younger half-brother of the King of Chu and also a mediocre person, but for some reason, he got along very well with the King of Chu, and the two of them interacted quite harmoniously. If this were in the past, Zuoqiu would never have been willing to be subordinate to someone like him.

  Song Chu was very satisfied with the effect of his training on Mo Dao. If he could persist, today's Xiong Wei would be his dependence, and tomorrow it might become a discarded stepping stone.

  "Indeed, a worthy apprentice of the master!" Zhen Jun had been doing business for a long time and flattering words had become a habit, naturally and effortlessly coming out of his mouth.

  This is also a bad habit, Song Chu Yi just smiled and let it go.

  "Sir, why don't you bring Zuoqiu to the state of Qin?" asked Zhen Jun.

  Song Chu shook his head, "Qin Guo is not suitable for him."

  Zhang Liang did not like to practice martial arts, hoping that one day he could lead the invincible Wei Wu troops like Pang Juan.

  An invincible army needs faith, needs rules. The Black Armor Army of the Qin State has already formed a complete set of rules and they also have an unshakeable faith like a rock that cannot be moved. If he rashly enters Qin, he can only become a person who follows these rules and faiths, which is not what he wants.

  The Chu state, since the rise of Wu, has not had a commander who can unite the army's morale. In these years, its military strength has not developed much, but it has vast territory, numerous population, and the strength to build an army comparable to or even surpassing the Wei Wu Du.

  Zhen Jun said more than once, Song Chu Yi knew what he was worried about all along, so he just said it out loud: "In this world of great contention, there are only these seven nations. Even if they were to serve the same country at the same time, it's unlikely that they would be able to stand on the same ground. It's hard not to be opposed to each other. No one can stop others from pursuing their ideals. The only thing you can do is let go! Follow your heart, live freely and unrestrainedly, and don't waste this life. Life and death are just small matters!"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one smiled and said, "Don't worry about it anymore. Who knows that stinky little kid is preparing to compete with me?"

  "Mr. is very calm." After taking a tranquilizer, Zhen Jun finally calmed down by more than half.

  In fact, he didn't care about the master and apprentice being enemies that day, who was uncomfortable or not, but he had staked his entire family to support Song ChuYi, so he couldn't afford to make any mistakes. What if she accidentally lost her grip due to a moment of weakness, and the Qin state's position became precarious? How would the Zhen clan in her hands be affected then?

  Song Chu-yi also understood that accepting the support of a family also meant taking on the responsibilities of that family, so he didn't mind Zhen Jun's repeated questioning about this matter.

  The two of them chatted for a few sentences. When Zhen Jun stood up to bid farewell, Song Chu reminded him, "Pay attention to the news from Bashu in the near future."

  "Yes." Zhen Jun said.

  The sky was filled with stars, and the lanterns on the corridor were lit up. As the night wind gently swayed, Song Chuyi's figure cast a long shadow on the stone slab.

  When she returned to her room, Zhao Yilou was already asleep.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one took off his outer gown and lay on the bed, closing his eyes to rest.

  "After a long silence, Zhao Yilou suddenly said, 'Does that young master know you are a woman?'"

  "Hmm." Song Chuyi responded with a murmur, "What's on your mind?"

  Hearing her so nonchalant inquiry, Zhao Yilou swallowed back what he originally wanted to say and sneered, "It's not easy for him to see through it! Even I, who originally knew, am gradually starting to doubt that you're a girl."

  Song Chu chuckled twice, turned over and pressed his hands and feet on him, and patted him a few times.

  In the darkness, Zhao Yi Lou's cheeks were burning hot, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Hot."

  "Your meaning is... want to take off?" Song Chu patted him and said "I don't mind."

  "Can't you be more subdued? In the past, I've seen you secretly crying in your wedding dress, but now you're becoming more and more unseemly!" Zhao Yilou reached out to grab her face "You're not a ghost or monster, are you?"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there was a woman who wore her wedding dress and secretly cried... She estimated that even if she lived for several lifetimes, she would never experience such delicate and high-level emotions.

  "What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yilou asked in surprise.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one stretched out his hand and hugged him. "What you said is too damn scary, I'm getting nervous."

  Zhao Yi Lou speechless.

  It's normal to be afraid, but at this moment, a normal woman should say something like "This is so scary, I'm really scared".

  What Zhao Yilou didn't expect was that the so-called "frightening" thing in Song Chu's words wasn't referring to ghosts or monsters... but rather the fact that she had once cried secretly while wearing a wedding dress, an event that had occurred in this very body of hers. She had always thought that growing up like this meant one shouldn't pretend to be delicate and dainty while holding a handkerchief.

  The night in Qin country was much colder than daytime, and the two of them huddled together and slept soundly for a whole night.

  The next day dawned.

  The eunuch came to summon Song Chou to get ready for court together.

  Song Chu moved slightly and found that there was no one beside him. He got up and asked the servant girl, "Where is Yi Lou?"

  "Master is back, young master has left, and he left a letter on the desk. Take a look?" said Ah Fu, picking up the letter from the desk.

  Song Chuoyi yawned, unfolded the white silk cloth, and carefully read its contents several times. It only said that his master's return was approaching, and he needed to hurry back to welcome him.

  Is it really so?

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she was quite discerning, but most of the time, what Zhao Yilou was thinking about, she really couldn't guess.

  People around her come and go, not to mention life and death separations, all are common occurrences, this kind of thing can no longer touch her sorrow. Since it's impossible to guess, Song Chuyi also stopped thinking about it. After washing up and tidying herself, the sky had already lightened.

  The debate in the early morning still cannot leave the dispute between the new and old laws. At first, Ying Zong's ambiguous attitude made the old clan feel a glimmer of hope, but after half a year of effort, Ying Zong quietly suppressed them, and they gradually realized that he had never intended to abolish Shang Jun's law from the beginning. So the debate in the hall gradually subsided, with only some people making unrelated struggles, while the old clan forces who truly wanted to restore the old laws began to calm down and plot other ways.

  The waves stirred up by the wind have turned into a raging undercurrent. It looks calm on the surface, but in reality it is getting closer and closer to bursting out.

  On the grand hall above, Song Chu was still kneeling under the pillar as a transparent person. As the debate subsided and became calm, the court meeting also dispersed early.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she was busy collecting information from all sides, finding detailed maps, analyzing the terrain, routes, and defenses of Bashu. Although she advocated for using clever tactics to capture Bashu, this time it was necessary to swallow Bashu whole, so she had to make thorough preparations.

  Half a month later, Song Chu Yi finally received news that Zou Li had arrived in Ba Guo.

  The road to Bashu is mostly treacherous mountain roads, and some places can't even run horses, let alone achieve the speed of 800 miles in a hurry. The message takes two to three times the usual time to come and go, and Song Chuande deeply feels that sitting here waiting is not a good strategy.

  "Get the horse ready." Song Chu put away the bamboo slips, wore her outer robe, and prepared to enter the palace to see Duke Qin. She had to make a trip to Bashu personally.

  "Uh-huh." Nian'er responded with a single word and quickly ran out.
