Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 554
But Zhu Xiuyuan put aside Li Jiye, pulled Dong Shuzhen to the side of the boat, teased her for a while, and finally changed the lively, lovely and active Dong Shuzhen back.

She was trying so hard to pretend to be mature, but it looked really distressing and awkward.

Zhu Xiuyuan still likes the lively Dong Shuzhen.

It was also at this time that the Qinhuai River was gradually dredged, and the cruise ships blocking the front dispersed one after another, making way for the waterway.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan and their cruise ship continued to sail to the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River.

According to the plan, they would follow the river to the city gate "Sanshan Gate" and then turn back.

Presumably at that time, there will not be so many people on the Chaoku Street, and it is just time to go ashore for shopping.

The group of people waited and sat down again on the seats in the bow, drinking and drinking tea while admiring the scenery and chatting.

With Kou Wanwan joining, Dong Shuzhen moved a chair, sat next to Zhu Xiuyuan, and held his hand tightly, for fear that he would be seduced by the vixen... Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Kou Wanwan was given her original seat.

The night of Shangyuan is less than halfway through, and the various lanterns are emitting five colors of light.

On both sides of the shore, there were still crowds of people, bustling with people, and bustling.

Now is the prime time for the Shangyuan Night Tour.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others were sitting on the cruise ship, chatting freely, admiring the scenery, and feeling the breeze blowing on the river. They felt extremely comfortable and smooth all over.

After a while, the cruise ship had passed Wuding Bridge.

After crossing the Wuding Bridge, it is considered to have crossed the core section of the Qinhuai River.

The number of pleasure boats on the river suddenly decreased, and the lanterns and voices on both sides of the river also gradually decreased.

It is actually a good experience to get out of the hustle and bustle and experience some peace again.

After a while, Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye began to talk about the general trend of the world, "international disputes", etc. The topic was too high-end and the girls could not understand it.

So, the girls discussed and played a game together - hide and seek!

In order to create a hide-and-seek atmosphere, the girls ordered people to blow out some of the lanterns on the cruise ship and artificially dim the lights to facilitate hiding.

In this kind of dark environment, playing hide and seek is fun. If it is too bright, it will be difficult to hide.

When everything was ready, Dong Shuzhen, Li Qingnu, Kou Wanwan, and the four maids Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter all ran to participate.

They were bluffing, scurrying all over the boat, laughing constantly, and screaming when they were caught, etc., which were heard by Zhu Xiuyuan and the others at the bow of the boat from time to time.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Li Jiye and Dong Shuyu were the only three people left at the bow of the ship.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye would naturally not participate in this childish game.

As for Dong Shuyu, she was not active by nature, so she declined.

Dong Shuzhen and the others laughed, but Zhu Xiuyuan and the others couldn't help but smile at each other...

After half an hour, Dong Shuzhen and the others seemed to be tired from playing, so they took a break and returned to the bow of the ship to drink tea and eat cakes to replenish their energy so that they could continue playing later.

After resting for a while, the girls decided to continue playing, but this time, they pulled away the restless Dong Shuyu.

Dong Shuyu didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist the girls' pulling and dragging him. He had no choice but to join in and play this childish game with them.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye were the only two people left at the bow of the ship.

In addition, other personnel accompanying the ship, such as Yan Dashan, the generals of the government, the deputy envoy of the Liang State, and the plainclothes soldiers of the Liang State, were all patrolling the decks around the cruise ship.

Because Dong Shuzhen and Li Qingnu were playing games on the cruise ship. The cruise ship was a two-story ship with a complex interior structure. They were also playing hide-and-seek games, hiding in the dark in case some bad guys sneaked in on the ship. , that would be extraordinary.

Therefore, Yan Dashan and Deputy Envoy Liang Guo led their own people to patrol the deck to ensure safety.

But the deputy envoy of Liang State, taking advantage of the patrol opportunity, slowly moved closer to the bow of the ship and took a moment to look at Li Jiye and Zhu Xiuyuan on the bow.

Then, he wandered around the area and stayed away for a long time...

Here on the bow.

Because only Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye were left, it was a little quiet.

After the two of them chatted about the general trend of the world, Li Jiye suddenly became serious when he saw no one around. He cupped his hands and said: "Brother Zhu is a great talent in this world. I always feel that Brother Zhu was given the title of earl after he had to submit to the Chen Kingdom." The title is a sign of inferiority!"

When Zhu Xiuyuan heard this, he immediately understood what Li Jiye was going to say.

His expression also became serious, he listened attentively, and lowered his eyebrows in silence.

"If Brother Zhu is willing to come to our Liang Kingdom, although there are no lords with different surnames in our Liang Kingdom, within a year, with your talents, Brother Zhu, you will be able to become a general and prime minister, and rank first in the court..."

"In today's world, looking at Liang, Yan, Chen, as well as the Beiyuan Empire in the north, Tibet in the southwest, and the Western Regions, only our country, Liang, has the greatest national power!"

"To tell you the truth, Brother Zhu, among the kings of the Liang Kingdom, I have a [-]% chance of becoming a great treasure. When that time comes, we can use our two swords together to sweep through all the countries and unify the world!"

"We will leave our name in history and be praised by future generations..."

"Brother Zhu, when you stay in the Chen Kingdom, you can only achieve the title of king at most. There is Emperor Chen above you, there are ministers on the left and right, and there are kings on the military. In this environment, brother Zhu, your ability will be difficult to fully realize. Playing like this, wouldn't it be buried?"

"Brother Zhu, come to my country of Liang, you and my brother will surely break through the sky and achieve great things!"

Li Jiye was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up and give a long salute!
Zhu Xiuyuan also stood up. He looked at Li Jiye, whose back was bent at ninety degrees, and felt complicated for a moment.

Achieve a great cause, break through the sky, sweep the countries, and dominate the world!
Indeed, with the divine thunder in his hands and the bravery of Liang's soldiers, he could easily do this.

Zhu Xiuyuan also felt moved for a moment.

A hot-blooded man, wrapped in horse leather, has accomplished great things!
This is indeed passionate enough, and it is also the pursuit of most men.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan does not belong to the vast majority!

He came from thousands of years later, and what he thought in his heart was very different from that of the contemporary people.The idea of ​​wrapping a corpse in horse leather and accomplishing an unparalleled feat was almost non-existent in his mind!

What he is thinking about now is just for comfort, for the prosperity of Chen country, and for the safety of his family.

He really has no interest in using weapons now.

Chen Guo is the place he came to after crossing, so far, it is not bad, he doesn't want to move, he is actually a little nostalgic.

Furthermore, judging from the current situation, he seems to have many enemies in the Chen court, and many people are eager to destroy him.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan knew that as long as Emperor Chen and Concubine You were in power, nothing would happen to him. He had no doubt about this.

In other words, he is at ease at the moment, and the people he cares about are also safe and happy.

If you really go to Liang State, can you still maintain this comfort?

Can we be sure that Liang Guoguo is really safe?
The Liang Kingdom was an unknown land, and the only people he knew from the Liang Kingdom were Li Jiye and Li Qingnu.But this does not guarantee that after he goes to Liang State, what he has now will not be lost.

He didn't want to take the risk.

As for staying in the Kingdom of Chen, if the Emperor Chen died, it was possible that the new person who ascended the throne would treat him badly and even want to eradicate him.

By that time, maybe Zhu Xiuyuan will choose to go to Liang Kingdom.

Moreover, Zhu Xiuyuan is also building his own team to prevent the situation of being dominated by others...

I think back then, when I was still in Jiangzhou, a mere governor of a state or county made the Dong family miserable. For a while, Zhu Xiuyuan was worried that his tea-frying business would be taken away...

Furthermore, Zhu Xiuyuan also likes to read history books and knows that today's world is actually a divided and chaotic world, and weapons may be used at any time, which is very dangerous.

He really wanted to master more power and protect the safety of his family and personal "assets". This was one of the reasons why Zhu Xiuyuan was very greedy after meeting the generals in the Poyang Palace for the first time.

General, that is one of his own private soldiers, his own team.

The method of preventing and controlling the plague, and the divine thunder that came out later, although they were forced by the situation and could not be done, but at the same time it was also a step for him to advance.

The effect was very good. He accumulated many merits and became a distinguished officer directly. He also became a popular person in front of Emperor Chen... It was not in vain that he stayed in that small place in Jiangzhou for so long.

Later, martial arts, the Divine Thunder Army, etc. were also one of Zhu Xiuyuan's tools to increase his "weight".

So far, what Zhu Xiuyuan has been thinking about is to be comfortable and protect the safety of his family and the property in his house.Other than that, he really didn't think much about it.

Li Jiye suddenly gave him the idea of ​​"sweeping across all countries, unifying the world, and leaving a name in history." Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned...

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Li Jiye who was bent over ninety degrees. At this moment, he thought a lot.

They are all about his direction, his goal, or the ultimate question of what is the meaning of his existence.

But one thing is certain, at the moment, Zhu Xiuyuan does not want to leave Chen Guo.

So, Zhu Xiuyuan helped Li Jiye up with both hands, and said, "Brother Li is so kind to invite me, I am really grateful, but... I disappointed Brother Li, I don't want to leave Chen Guo now!"

Li Jiye was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

He seemed to have already guessed this result.

Afterwards, Li Jiye covered up the regret on his face and squeezed out a smile: "Since Brother Zhu has made a choice, I won't force it anymore. However, if Brother Zhu wants to come to Liang Kingdom in the future, all he needs is a word or a letter. As long as I am still here, I will do my best to make this happen!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was naturally grateful and agreed.

Then the two of them sat down again, chatting and laughing while admiring the night view, enjoying themselves as if what just happened had never happened.

However, the two of them did not notice that the deputy envoy of Liang State was hiding in the dark and looked at the scene that just happened on the bow of the ship.

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. The deputy envoy of the Liang Kingdom probably did not expect that his unusual behavior would have been discovered by Yan Dashan, who hid behind him and observed him...

After a while, the cruise ship went down the river and passed the "New Bridge".

After the new bridge, there is a long stretch of waterway to the "lower floating bridge".

Going down the pontoon bridge and walking a short distance, you will arrive at the end of this voyage—Sanshanmen.

According to the plan, they will turn around at Sanshan Gate, walk back, and after returning to the core area of ​​the Qinhuai River, they will stop the boat and go ashore for shopping...

"Ah, I found you. It turns out you are hiding here..."

"what……"

The laughter of Dong Shuzhen and the others playing games could be heard continuously, a little faintly, because the cruise ship was two stories high and very large.

After a while, Dong Shuzhen and the others took another intermission and came to the bow of the boat to drink tea and eat pastries to replenish their strength.

Except for Dong Shuyu, who was a little helpless, Dong Shuzhen, Li Qingnu, Kou Wanwan, and the four maids were all very excited, looking like they still had unfinished business.

Especially Dong Shuzhen, she was sitting next to Zhu Xiuyuan, holding a pastry in one hand and a teacup in the other, eating happily.

Her face, which was flushed with excitement, looked bulging due to eating and drinking, and turned into a bun face, making it even cuter.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at her like this and was stunned for a moment. He liked Dong Shuzhen's energetic appearance.

Very refreshing.

"Husband?"

Dong Shuzhen suddenly noticed Zhu Xiuyuan's gaze. The movements of her hands and mouth suddenly stopped, and her eyes were a little dodgeful. Maybe...she also felt that her current image was not good, because she ate too fast and too hastily.

If Dong Cheng were here, he would definitely lecture her with a dark face.

"Oh, it's okay, you can go on eating." Zhu Xiuyuan grinned.

However, under his scorching gaze, Dong Shuzhen spontaneously stood up like a lady, chewed her food slowly, and finally felt a little embarrassed.

"Is it fun?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked again with a smile.

"Well, it's fun. I didn't expect that playing hide-and-seek on the boat would be really unique!"

After Dong Shuzhen finished speaking, her big eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something.

She dropped the pastries and tea cups in her hands, grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Husband, you can play with us later, it's really fun!"

"No!" Zhu Xiuyuan's face darkened and he refused.

Just kidding, he won't play such a childish game...

"Husband, it's really fun! Moreover, my husband just promised me last night that no matter what I want to play or how I want to play, I will accompany you to the end!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned and his expression suddenly changed.

Damn, I should have made such a promise if I knew earlier!
However, how could he, a grown man, have the nerve to play a game like hide and seek?

So, Zhu Xiuyuan argued with Dong Shuzhen here. He didn't want to go, but Dong Shuzhen argued hard and insisted on letting him go together...

The girls watched the two young couples arguing with each other and couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

The entire bow was filled with joy in an instant.

In the end, Zhu Xiuyuan was defeated and was pulled by Dong Shuzhen to play a hide-and-seek game with them.

Dong Shuzhen was right about this matter. Who told Zhu Xiuyuan to make such a promise in the first place?
