From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Tilting his head and standing on tiptoe, he looked at it carefully.

Xiaoying frowned and couldn't help but shouted: "Brother, what are you doing!"

Zhou Yuan was startled and quickly hid the letter in his arms, staring and said: "You walk silently!"

Xiaoying said: "Brother, why are you kissing a piece of paper? You are so perverted!"

Zhou Yuan laughed and waved his hand: "You know nothing, the letter is short but the feelings are deep, and the words convey the feelings."

Xiaoying snorted: "Don't I know, it's a letter from the Virgin Mary, and the 'Virgin Mary Sister' you shouted has been heard in the restaurant."

Zhou Yuan blushed, Then he smiled and said, "I miss her. You know, the Western Region is thousands of miles away from Seoul!"

"I'll find a chance to see her after I finish my work in the Western Region."

Xiaoying's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but said, "Take me with you, I also want to walk more and see more."

Zhou Yuan said, "Perform well, there will be a chance. I don't believe you will be perfunctory like you were last night."

Xiaoying immediately jumped twice on the spot, and then completed a backward bending movement, showing the flexibility of her body.

Then she stood up and said proudly: "I have many skills. I can also use poisonous insects to help you. You have to perform well."

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion: "Aren't the poisonous insects gone?"

Xiaoying said: "But the sex poison is kept. I know my brother needs it. When the time comes, I will use the sex poison on anyone who is disobedient. I guarantee that they will be obedient."

"You! You girl!"

Zhou Yuan said angrily: "I like you very much. Keep it well. When the time comes, I will use it to deal with Qu girl or Master... Hehe!"

He suddenly found that Xiaoying's expression was a little wrong, and he had a bad sign in his heart. He hugged his head and ran forward in an instant, shouting: "Master, I don't mean that!"

But it was useless. He hugged his head but couldn't protect his butt. Zhou Yuan was kicked hard and fell flat on his face.

Su Youzi said coldly: "You are never allowed to use those despicable things, otherwise I will send you to the cliff of Zhongnan Mountain to face the wall, so that you can experience the suffering that Chenxi suffered in the past."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Master, those are just jokes from my disciples, don't take them seriously!"

Su Youzi said: "Jokes? What you have done in these years is even more outrageous than jokes."

"Don't think that your master doesn't know. When you were in the Central Plains, even old women in their 50s and 60s were in danger."

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

He took a deep breath and murmured, "Master... After we finish the Western Regions, let's go to the Central Plains first."

Su Youzi glared and said, "Could it be that there is really an old lover there?"

Zhou Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "That's right! I really want to eat her alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ayinizi came over from a distance and shouted, "Sister Xiaoying, why haven't you come yet? Try on clothes quickly."

Xiaoying woke up as if from a dream, and then she remembered that she had a purpose, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it was Madam Xuesang who asked me to ask my brother to try on clothes. It will be more interesting to wear local ethnic costumes to attend the Xibe wedding."

This reminded Zhou Yuan of when he was in Shuixi, Cai Ni wore a pleated skirt and a ribbon skirt, and she was really like a fairy.

He became interested and said, "Wear it! Everyone! Xiaoying, you too, and the second senior sister and the female guards."

After saying that, he looked behind him and said with a chuckle, "Master, you should wear it too."

Su Youzi shook his head and said, "I don't need it."

Zhou Yuan said, "How can that be possible? Wearing this robe all day long, won't it stink in the hot summer? Master, you don't like to be clean."

Su Youzi looked a little strange, frowned and said, "Master is immune to cold and heat, and the Taoist rhyme washes my whole body, so how can it stink?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Take a bath, relax your muscles and bones, relax your mind, wear clean national costumes, and attend a special wedding. This experience is very good."

"Master, since you have entered the world, you should integrate into it."

"I still remember that when we were on the boat to Hezhou after fighting the island pirates, the Virgin Sister forced me to take a bath and eat. She said that this would make a person feel more clearly that he was still alive and understand the preciousness of life."

"I think Master should do the same, it will always be more comfortable."

Su Youzi said with a straight face: "She always has a lot of crooked ideas, you are led astray by her."

Zhou Yuan was surprised and said: "Does Master want to be served by the disciple himself like in Goryeo?"

"Traitor! Shut up!"

Su Youzi was furious and walked forward and said: "Xiaoying, help me!"

Xiaoying immediately raised her hand and said: "Okay Master! Xiaoying is so considerate!"

Looking at the backs of the two people, one tall and one short, Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Ainizi took him to bathAfter taking a bath and changing clothes, out of curiosity, she couldn't help asking: "Sir... no... Senior Brother, did you really serve Master Su Youzi... no, did you serve Master in bathing?"

Zhou Yuan looked at her and said seriously: "Little Ayi, these are just jokes. They are to make Master establish a deeper connection with the secular world, so that he can be attached to the world and live more freely."

"Our feelings are pure and natural, not blasphemous."

"You are still young, you must understand the truth and establish a healthy value foundation."

Ayinizi thought for a moment before whispering: "No... Senior Brother, why do you always treat me like a child? Have you forgotten that I am very smart?"

After speaking, she pointed to the room and said: "The hot water and clothes are ready, go wash yourself, don't try to trick me into serving you, big pervert."

She turned around and left angrily.

Zhou Yuan scratched his head and said, "Little girl, how can you be so sensitive..."

He didn't care about that. He put the letter away and lay comfortably in the water - it was really the first time for him to take a tub bath alone.

He missed his Virgin Sister and thought about the situation in the South China Sea.

He had to admit that the fate of Dajin had completely changed in the past few years, so that the situation in the South China Sea had affected the situation in the world to a large extent.

When the giant in the East rose quietly and its ambitious eyes swept across the world, the maritime countries had already sensed this crisis.

This era is the era of the sea.

The sea contains infinite treasures and wealth. Whoever can get these can stand at the top of the era.

The Western countries that have conflicts with each other have united because of greater conflicts and interests.

They don't allow anyone to get involved in this huge ocean cake.

They can distribute it unevenly, and they can fight over the distribution issue, but they think it is their internal affairs and others can't touch it.

And Zhou Yuan... or Dajin, of course, was unwilling to be a supporting role in this era. The momentum of its rise had just begun, so how could it be suppressed by this group of foreigners and lose the sea again.

"This is a competition for resources, a competition for development power, and a conflict between the fundamental interests of the country and the nation. There is no way out. We can only face the difficulties and completely defeat them."

"If we defeat them, Dajin will completely have maritime hegemony. If we fail, Dajin will return to the past. Haojing, Dongfan Island and Qiongzhou Island may not be able to be saved."

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan already knew in his heart that the decisive battle for national destiny might be in one or two years.

And in this vortex of great power competition, what role will the island bandits play?

At present, we have seen the signs. They seem to have evolved towards the ugliest posture.

Zhou Yuan gently paddled the water, looked at the waves in the wooden barrel, and smiled slowly: "Things are getting interesting."
