General Zuo actually thought about it carefully and found that there was no need to be angry at the soldier's words. Is that worth being so angry? Or maybe the reason for reacting like this is entirely different.
Since ancient times, it has never been done to appoint a woman as the lord of the city. He gave in to those demon swords and those promises, but after all, he still felt uneasy. He didn't know when the castle in the air would collapse.
On the way to find the demon sword, he could comfort himself that it was business. Once he returned to Asuoye City, those fears and uneasiness came back. The soldier's words only gave him an excuse to leave.
General Zuo lowered his eyes, held the tea bowl with one hand, and sighed deeply. Sara's strength was obvious to all, and he admired her wholeheartedly, but...
"General, the city lord ordered the maid to serve you roast duck and a pot of wine. Please use it slowly." Qiu felt that he was being advantaged. He was so disrespectful to the city lord that he still treated him so favorably.
I was slandering in my heart, but it didn't show anything on my face.
General Zuo raised his eyes to look at the roast duck. He had actually smelled it early in the morning, but his thoughts were too busy to pay attention.
Roast duck was specially made by the chef after Sara returned to Asano Castle and couldn't stand the food here. Today, it just happened to be cooked in the kitchen. After thinking for a few seconds, it was brought to him.
Why don't you say that Sara is smart and don't meet people immediately? First let General Zuo drink tea to calm down, then give him a fragrant roast duck to take off his guard, and finally serve him a pot of wine to make him feel relieved, and then we can talk Things will be easier to talk about.
We ate and slept in the open all the way back. After returning, we rushed to the city lord's mansion without cleaning up. General Zuo was really hungry at this time, so he unceremoniously tore off a piece of duck leg.
The skin of the duck leg is fragrant and tender, and the subcutaneous fat is still oily when you bite into it. It's refreshing. It's really refreshing. People who are marching and fighting do not like red tape the most. After a while, their mouths are full of oil, and even their hands are covered with oil.
Qiu stood in the darkness not far away, curling her lips in disgust.
"Bang!" General Zuo opened the lid of the wine bottle, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth.
"readily!"
A loud cheer rang out from the tea room, Qiu was startled, and Sara, who was sitting in the study, could vaguely hear the sound.
Sara narrowed her eyes and ordered another maid beside her: "Go and remind Qiu not to let General Zuo get drunk." If a person is drunk, how can he talk about the future.
"Yes." The maid lowered her eyebrows.
If it hadn't been for Suo Luo's reminder, General Zuo would have really gotten drunk. He drank one pot after another without knowing any restraint.
Qiu politely refused General Zuo's request for more wine and respectfully replied: "The city lord said that he will give you some delicious recipes later. If you want to drink, you can drink it in the house."
Sara, the female city lord, is really nice. She is countless times better than the old city lord. She never criticizes her subordinates, and she is so considerate to her subordinates. Can such a person really be able to speak with integrity later?
General Zuo was too angry before and didn't think much about it. Now that he was full of wine and food, he finally came to his senses and this was her sugar-coated bullet again.
"Let's go, take this general to see the city lord." General Zuo paused for a long time before standing up from behind the table.
If Suo Luo is as good as ever, then he will stop thinking about leaving today, but if she blames him...
Although he knew that a smart person like Sara would not do such a thing, General Zuo still had unrealistic hopes in his heart.
The maid who came just said not to let General Zuo get drunk. Qiu hesitated: "This..."
Qiu remembered that she had been stopped by Sara's eyes when she acted on her own initiative before, but in the end she still wanted to stand out and gained the upper hand. She must do everything carefully in order to finally stay with the city lord.
"The maid went in and announced, and asked the general to wait for a moment."
General Zuo was now in a good mood and was willing to give some face to the maid next to Sara. He nodded and said, "Excuse me."
This time, he waited a moment, really just a moment. After a while, Qiu came out and returned to the tea room, telling the city lord to let General Zuo in.
General Zuo followed Qiu out of the tea room and into the study, and passed by Kyosuke, the second god of the Great Nagen, who had just come out of the room.
Da Nayan is an official position among the civil servants of the Sara Kingdom, and General Zuo often quarreled with him in front of the old city lord. When the two met, there was something like sparks and lightning.
Really, bad luck.
Qiu led General Zuo into the study. After a few steps, he recognized the situation and exited, leaving the space for Sara and the general.
General Zuo entered the study and immediately put his distracting thoughts behind him. When he saw the person above him, who was worried about how to say hello, Sara came down from above.
Sara's face was full of joy, as if she had treated General Zuo badly: "I have lost weight. General has worked hard and achieved great results. He didn't rest in the mansion for a while when he came back this time. Why did he come here?"
She stood one meter away from General Zuo. She didn't dislike the other party's sour smell at all. What she said was extremely considerate, which made General Zuo feel uncomfortable for a moment.
"Quick, please sit down."
General Zuo stared in confusion, following Suo Luo's instructions and sitting cross-legged on a mat. When she regained consciousness, she had returned to sit down.
Since arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, General Zuo has no reason to get angry even if he wants to. He feels extremely helpless at this moment.
"General Mo brought the demon sword back to Asuoye City this time and lost nearly half of the demon sword and soldiers. Please punish the city lord." General Zuo apologized.
Because of these words, the study became quiet for a moment.
General Zuo held his robe tightly with his big hands, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot and he did not dare to look at the person above him.
Maybe Suo Luo wanted to let him go for a while. It took a long time before General Zuo heard someone reply.
Sara's tone contained a sigh, but her words were still extremely relevant: "Nowadays, it is a fact that humans cannot fight monsters. General, it is not easy for you to bring back nearly half-armed soldiers. Why should you blame yourself? I said As long as General Zuo remains loyal to the Salo Kingdom, I will not blame you for anything."
"Is it possible?" Sara was a little disappointed, her words were full of melancholy that she couldn't understand, "General Zuo still doesn't believe me."
"How could it be!"
General Zuo admitted that he was really in trouble when he met Suo Luo. How can someone who needs to be comforted turn around and comfort others. But Sarasheng did it. He couldn't get angry and not say anything, and he had to say it was not like that.
General Zuo broke the pot and threw it, so what if he continues to follow a woman? This woman is no worse than the man, and is even much better. In the near future, he may be as talkative as she is, and his reputation will be even greater than that of the shogun.
"I feel much more relieved when I hear General Zuo say this." The matter should be settled at this point. It would not be good for anyone to talk about it directly. Sara changed the subject and said, "Are there people who practice spiritual power in the military camp?" Soldier?"
The demon sword is powerful, but it can only be used by those with advanced skills. Speaking of this, Sara suddenly remembered the time when she and Sesshomaru went to find Totosai. At that time, the other party said that she was a spirit.
The literal meaning of spirit body is easy to understand. She seems to be a human being who can cultivate.
General Zuo: "To be honest, there is no one in the army who can cultivate spiritual power."
According to General Zuo, the humans in this world who can practice spiritual power are all highly respected leaders among humans. Since their status is so high, how can they join the army and become soldiers who lose their heads all the time?
When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This is human nature.
Sara accepted the memory of the original owner and read the plot in advance, so she could naturally guess this. She asked but was unwilling to accept it. Now that it was clear, she gave up taking chances.
"It turns out that when the late general wanted the demon sword so much, he saved it and surrendered to the new city lord before giving it away. It was also a good thing that the new lord would get a good position with him, but he never thought of giving it to soldiers in the army."
"You don't shy away from talking about these things in front of me." Sara was amused when she heard this.
Seeing her smile without any anger, General Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. Sara didn't say anything because he was afraid of embarrassing both parties, but he couldn't do that. If he did, it would only leave her with a knot.
It would be best for him to nip problems in the bud. At the same time, this was not just another trial.
"Assigning people with spiritual powers to the army is a big matter, but it is still a long-term matter." Seeing the unpredictable expression on General Zuo's face, Salo couldn't help but know what he was thinking. "The most urgent task is how to change the lives of the people." Okay, how to protect Asuo Ye City from being breached by the enemy? What we lack most now is time."
General Zuo thought about it and thought so.
Seeing that he understood, Sara told him about leaving the mountain ghost behind without leaving any trace: "I used a chainsaw to make a deal with Sesshomaru to keep the mountain ghost for the use of the Sara Kingdom. The time limit is one month. Are you sure? Lead it to a winning battle during this period?”
Sara's ideas are always unexpected. Before, she was still thinking about how to develop, but now she wants to conquer other people's territory. General Zuo was shocked and confused by the information.
What did she say? Mountain ghosts helped them conquer territory in other countries?
…
General Zuo didn't know how he came out of the study. His mind was filled with all the important things that Suo Luo asked him to do.
Seeing his appearance, Kyousuke, the second god of the Great Nagoya who had been waiting on the road, couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that their new city lord went out with his soldiers and basically took control of the court in just ten days after returning, and then issued orders one after another frequently.
These civil servants are so busy these days that they are almost on their knees.
General Zuo returned today, and everyone was hoping for a good show. General Zuo is different from civil servants like them. He has a large number of soldiers and can respond to a hundred calls. He is not someone who can be manipulated by the new city lord. A single mistake may make him popular.
When Ergami Kyosuke saw him like that, he still didn't know what was going on. These days, this is how their civil servants came out of the new city lord's study.
General Zuo was still in his thoughts when he saw Ergami Kyosuke blocking the road. He rolled his eyes and walked straight past without stopping.
"Hey, hey, General Zuo, wait!"
General Zuo didn't want to wait at all and walked quickly.
Not long after, the two of them got together without knowing how. They spoke quite calmly, as if they were very good colleagues.
"What kind of person do you think the new city lord is?" General Zuo asked Danaya as he walked and saw no one else around.
"What kind of person..." Danayan was speechless for a moment when he thought of what happened to the court during this period.
He turned to look in the direction of the study room where Sara was, and said, "He is by no means a simple person."
