【Zhou Ye】The King of Luoyang

Zhou Zekai galloped on the road, leaving the others far behind, the whip was raised and lowered, the horse rushed past, and the rolled up dead leaves fluttered.He was in a hurry, seeing that after turning the corner and walking a short distance to the commander's mansion, he pulled the reins and slowed down.

The guards standing guard at the gate of the Shuai Mansion have all been changed, and the number of them has also increased. There is a row of people on the left and right, and all of them are like stone carvings, without blood and flesh.Seeing Zhou Zekai's return, the leading non-commissioned officer gave an order, and several people saluted with guns.

Zhou Zekai nodded slightly in return, without any fluctuation in his expression, the groom came out from the door to greet him, he got off his horse, handed the reins and whip, and strode into the house.

The riding boots stomped on the ground with a loud thud, disturbing the desolation and loneliness of early winter.The butler hurried over in a hurry, stopped Zhou Zekai, and was about to say something, but found that because Zhou Zekai was too calm, what he wanted to say seemed useless.

"Where is it?" Zhou Zekai asked.

The butler took off his melon cap, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said hesitantly, "The commander-in-chief met guests in the living room of the main house, and later invited...Mr. Ye to go."

The arrival of Marshal Zhou was a sudden attack. Everyone had already entered the mansion, changed their shirts and sat down to have snacks. Zhou Zekai, who was in the outskirts of the military camp, only received the news.Zhou Zekai rushed back and saw that the guards at the gate had changed, so he couldn't understand the beating from Lao Tzu, boy, don't forget who is the real master of the house.

At this moment, the hall door of the living room in the main house was wide open, like a beast, with its mouth wide open, ready to eat.It was very quiet in the room, no voice could be heard.

Zhou Zekai straightened his back and stepped over the threshold.

Behind the eight red sandalwood flowers and birds inlaid on the jade seat screen, the people who came to say hello and report to work all dispersed, leaving only Ye Xiu and Marshal Zhou.The commander-in-chief sat at the head seat, sipping tea with a teacup, and Ye Xiu sat at the head of the guest table. Their postures were almost the same. Judging by their expressions, they were actually quite...happy?

"Brother Ye, which flavor of tea do you think is better?"

"Just now."

"You really know the goods. This Huangshan Maofeng tea is Gu Yu's new tea, and it has been handed by the best tea master in Anhui Province. You can't drink it anywhere else."

Ye Xiu didn't know much about tea, so he didn't know what to buy, so he just picked up a sentence casually, but he hit the bull's-eye, so naturally he didn't know the difference, so he agreed with it.

As soon as Zhou Zekai walked in, he first looked at the commander-in-chief, and then his eyes slid to Ye Xiu, only took a look and then looked away.It's not a good thing to act too concerned about Ye Xiu at this time.

Ye Xiu was more thorough than Zhou Zekai, staring at the teacup without squinting, as if he didn't see Zhou Zekai.

When Marshal Zhou saw his son, he put down his cup and put on a stern and restrained loving smile, "Ze Kai is back."

Zhou Zekai paused, walked over, and called Dad.

Marshal Zhou nodded, "Your mother and grandma talk about you every day, go back and visit them when you have time." Before Zhou Zekai could agree, he said, "Sit down."

Zhou Zekai sat across from Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu was still staring at the teacup as if he had never seen it before, holding it up and looking at it.

Zhou Zekai also had a cup of hot tea at hand, as if he had calculated the time for his return and was waiting for him here in advance.He took off his gloves, rubbed his stiff hands, and picked up the cup to drink tea.

"How about it, brother Ye, have you seen the origin of this antique tea set with your expert eyes?"

Zhou's father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so the commander arranged for his son casually, instead of asking about his political and family affairs, he went after Ye Xiu to ask questions.

But this question sent a chill down Zhou Zekai's spine and his heart skipped a beat.

The old man didn't ask, it's only because Zhou Zekai has everything in the mansion under his control, including Ye Xiu's background, otherwise, how could he think that Ye Xiu is a connoisseur of antiques? The lack of heart that others can see through him.

There is an old man's eyeliner in the house, who is it?

Zhou Zekai was in a trance, what Ye Xiu said, what the commander said next, he could only hear a few words, there was the laughter of the two people relaying, what else... how about Zhongwang Baozang.The father knew his son, and the son also had a certain understanding of his father's rules of conduct, so even when he entered the room and saw that the atmosphere was good, Zhou Zekai did not let down his vigilance.Right now, the commander-in-chief was smiling, and Ye Xiu was also laughing. The two had a pleasant conversation, but his sense of crisis was so strong that it was about to explode. There was only one signal missing.

The discussion on the tea set came to an end, and the two of them lowered their heads and drank tea with lingering smiles.After Zhou Dashuai finished his drink, he put down the teacup, suddenly his expression changed, and he shouted sharply, "Come here!"

Zhou Zekai was awe-inspiring, and he wanted to serve the main course. He really wanted to stand up and do something, so he restrained himself.

A group of soldiers rushed in with their guns in hand, half of them blocked the door, half of them stood in a circle, surrounding Ye Xiu on a chair.

These are the soldiers brought by the old man.

The situation changed so quickly, Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment and then at a loss.Then he put down the teacup that was still in his hand, and regained his casual calm.

"Catch this tomb robber for me, put him in a prison, and keep him under good watch." Marshal Zhou gave the second order, pointing at Ye Xiu with his thin hand like a withered branch.

Immediately someone took the rope and came up to ask Yexiu.

Ye Xiu couldn't argue with his body. He was dragged to stand up, let people tie him up, let people drag him by the shoulders, put his back behind him, tied the rope, and could only argue verbally, "Another reason, Yuxi!" Ah, Zhongwang Treasure or something, I have been a novice for two years!"

Marshal Zhou ignored the sarcasm in Ye Xiu's words, and sneered, "A thief for a day, a thief for the rest of his life." Part of the smile was for Zhou Zekai, "What do you mean, Zekai?"

To be able to give birth to a son like Zhou Zekai, the face of the Lord of the Zhou Clan would not be bad.He has the fairness common to southerners, and this fairness has evolved into a daunting shrewdness and haleness in old age.The old man was pampered and looked like a man in his prime, with only a few light wrinkles on his chin and forehead, and the bravery and ups and downs of his youth were condensed into a faded flesh-colored scar, lying between his right eyebrow and his temple.

This scar made his current expression more aggressive.

He was asking what Zhou Zekai meant, but anyone could tell that it didn't matter what Zhou Zekai meant, and he couldn't change anything.

His father's cruelty, his father didn't save him face, emptied his power, and took people directly, which didn't make Zhou Zekai show any panic or resentment. Ye Xiu's two soldiers ordered, "Don't tie him up, let him go by himself."

He had made up his mind and acted coldly towards Ye Xiu, but since the commander had figured out the relationship between the two of them, he seemed too indifferent and tried to cover it up.Moreover, even though these people are the commander's personal soldiers, they can't help but worry about him, the young commander. When he issued the order, they heard the meaning and how much he cared about Ye Xiu, so they would naturally be polite to Ye Xiu Ye Xiu would suffer less—of course, even if he was in an absolute disadvantage, he didn't think this person would make him suffer.

Zhou Zekai's estimation was good. The commander-in-chief didn't want to dismiss this little face to his son. His soldiers also found a balance between the orders of the father and son. They took the rope and stood in a line to wait for Ye Xiu himself Walk.

Ye Xiu shook his head, and sighed how he could not lower his head under the eaves, "I haven't eaten lunch yet, but if I change my place of residence, the food will also change."

He walked out of the living room. At the last moment when the hall door closed, Zhou Zekai's voice came from behind, "Don't worry, it won't."

Ye Xiu smiled, he could tell that Zhou Zekai wanted him to rest assured that it wasn't just food.

With you here, I feel at ease.
