Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1814 Arrangement
"Speaking of which, have you seen that kid Xuan Yu?"

As he asked the question, Zhou Xu glanced around but couldn't find Xuan Yu anywhere.

When faced with this question, Yarvit shook her head, indicating that Xuan Yu had disappeared after the battle.

He originally wanted to check on his rebellious son's situation, since he was somewhat concerned about him.

But now the rebellious son is nowhere to be found, and Zhou Xu is busy with many things to do. He obviously doesn't have the time to find out where the rebellious son is. He can only put this matter aside for now and deal with it later.

In the current situation, the most important thing, besides the monk Wuchen, is the restriction that exists in the desert.

He has to deal with this restriction, right? And the sooner the better, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

But this is something he obviously can't handle in a short time, considering he hasn't even recovered his magical power yet.

After restoring my mana and dealing with the restrictions in the desert, it feels like it will take at least a month or two, no matter how quickly I do it.

During this time, even with only Li Ce's personal guard following the monk Wuchen, Zhou Xu felt it wasn't safe enough, fearing that the other side wouldn't be able to handle it.

"By the way, Joan of Arc has been in the Russian region for the past two years, hasn't she?"

The Rakshasa region was the last to be incorporated into the current territory of their Great Zhou, so in recent years, the state religion has been carrying out missionary work here.

With Zhou Xu's ability to shrink the distance to an inch, going up and down the mountain is very convenient, and you can get there in one step.

It would be more convenient for Joan of Arc to go up the mountain herself than for Joan of Arc to go up the mountain.

To save himself trouble, he first went to the ruling city below, without disturbing Karl who was busy at work. While summoning Joan of Arc, he finally had time to see his son.

Zhou Ye was extremely bored during this period. His injuries were not serious, but they did not damage his bones or internal organs. However, the wound that extended from his shoulder to his abdomen required nearly fifty or sixty stitches. His stomach was almost torn open, and his intestines almost fell out of his stomach.

Although his wounds were treated afterward, they were at risk of reopening if he made any big movements, which forced him to retreat to a city in the rear and remain paralyzed.

However, it's almost healed now, and we're just waiting for the scars to fall off.

Just then, footsteps came from outside, and before he could think of anything, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Zhou Ye wondered who would come at this time, and then quickly spoke up.

Then, as soon as the door opened, a look of undisguised joy appeared on his face as he saw the figure walking in.

"Father, what brings you here?!"

The moment the question left his mouth, Zhou Ye realized he had made a fool of himself.

Given the magnitude of the incident at the border, it's not surprising that his father came over.

At the same time, recalling his previous performance, Zhou Ye's mood couldn't help but sink.

"Don't dwell too much on things that are in the past. You have a long road ahead of you. If you hold grudges over every little thing, how can you shoulder important responsibilities?"

As Zhou Xu's son, Zhou Ye has never really experienced any real hardship since childhood. He grew up under Zhou Xu's protection and is also very capable. Although he is a smart child, he is still somewhat naive and needs to experience more things to mature.

How is your injury healing?

"I'm almost fully recovered and can return to the unit to report for duty at any time."

"No need to rush. The fighting on the front lines is basically over. You still need to rest and recuperate, otherwise it will be troublesome if you suffer any hidden injuries."

Zhou Ye was taken aback upon hearing this.

He clearly hadn't expected that the major battle on the front lines would have already ended while he was recuperating, and he quickly pulled Zhou Xu aside to ask him about it. Zhou Xu only knew the general outline, since he was the last to arrive at the front lines, so when Zhou Ye asked, he gave him a rough account.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xu remembered something else and mentioned it to Zhou Ye.

"Oh, by the way, a monk has come to town..."

What is a monk?

Zhou Ye immediately raised his question.

"I suppose the monk is a member of a religious sect. They believe in Buddhism, they shave their heads, wear white robes, and have beads around their necks. They keep saying 'Amitabha, good, good'."

Zhou Xu gave his son a brief description, but did not go into details.

If we go into too much detail about monks and Buddhism, how long would it take?

At the same time, Zhou Xu was not entirely sure whether the monk in his memory, the monk in front of him, and the Western Paradise the monk mentioned were the same thing.

Having preconceived notions is often not a good thing, as it can lead to misconceptions in one's thinking.

"In short, he's no ordinary person, and his purpose is still unclear. Try to stay away from him. Even if you run into him by chance, stay alert."

Just as Zhou Xu was giving these instructions, his personal guards knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Majesty, Bishop Joan of Arc has arrived."

Zhou Xu nodded, then his gaze fell on his son again.

"I have something to take care of, I'll come see you later."

After saying that, Zhou Xu got up and left.

Upon arriving at the meeting room, Joan of Arc had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Zhou Xu entered, Joan of Arc immediately bowed and greeted him with utmost devotion.

"Joan of Arc greets Your Majesty!"

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

As Zhou Xu entered the conference room, he waved his hand, indicating to Jeanne d'Arc that she should dispense with formalities, and quickly got to the point.

"I called you here today because an outsider has come to this city..."

As they spoke, Zhou Xu quickly told Jeanne about the monk Wuchen.

After hearing this, Joan of Arc's expression clearly changed.

Although their state religion did not contain extreme doctrines such as 'other sects are heretics and must be punished,' this did not prevent Joan of Arc from being wary of, or even rejecting, missionaries from other sects.

Joan of Arc was an intelligent woman. Although she had never truly dealt with the existence of other sects, that did not prevent her from understanding them.

As one of the bishops of the state religion, she was well aware that once two sects emerged in a region, they would inevitably become competitors.

With a state religion already established, how could a foreign religious sect dare to preach on their Great Zhou territory? Wasn't that a joke?
Seeing this, Zhou Xu also offered a reminder...

"This monk is not simple. Do not antagonize him unless absolutely necessary."

As they spoke, Zhou Xu gave Joan of Arc some more instructions, clearly not wanting anything to go wrong in this matter.

"Joan of Arc understands, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
