Hearing Zhou Yiming say these touching words, everyone in the yard was moved and speechless, because everyone knew in their hearts that at such a life-and-death moment, if it were ordinary people, they would have called for help. Even if he knew that the person he called was going to be killed, he definitely wouldn't care so much. After all, as long as there is a chance to survive, everyone is selfish.
But Zhou Ming still remained calm in this state, and even did not forget to consider his colleagues. This kind of great personality is simply too rare. If he was allowed to rise through the ranks in the court and become a high-ranking official, That is simply a blessing for the people of Da Chu. With him in the court, there is no need to worry about the safety of Da Chu, and the people of Da Chu will definitely be able to live a good life.
The servants in the yard were moved and at the same time, they all decided in their hearts that even if the Zhou family did not pay them wages in the future, they would still stay and work for free. After all, their young master was so powerful that it was only a matter of time before he rose to prominence. As long as they If you can be by the young master's side, you will definitely be able to live a good life with him in the future.
"My silly son, you only think about others, why don't you think about yourself? You are fighting against the thieves of the North by yourself. If something goes wrong, how will you let me live!" After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Mrs. Zhou had mixed feelings in her heart. On the one hand, she felt that her son had really grown up and became very promising. On the other hand, she felt heartbroken when she thought of her son fighting against the thieves from the North alone.
Zhou Yiming knew that although his mother was complaining to him, she was actually feeling sorry for him, so he quickly comforted him: "Mom, don't you know what your son is capable of? He is just a little spy from the North, and your son is still Don't take it seriously!
Don't worry, old man, your son is very sure of what he does. If I had thought that I couldn't defeat this thief at that time, I would have greased my feet and slipped away. It would have been impossible for me to die with him. After all, your son, I have a noble status and I will die with him. It's not worth it to be together. "
No matter how stupid Mrs. Zhou is, she still knows that Yi Ming is trying to make herself happy, so she pretends to be angry: "You know how to make me happy! When you told me about the battle just now, I heard it. There was no such thing." I heard you have any intention of running away, and you are my son, don’t I know you well?
You have been unwilling to cause trouble to others since you were a child, and you have a stubborn temper. You would rather bend than bend. For the sake of the country of Chu and the people's livelihood, even if you were aware of the danger at that time, you would definitely not run away! "
After hearing this, Zhou Yiming looked surprised and thought, Mom, don’t think you know me very well. I am no longer what I used to be. Although my personality is still strong, I will never be as stupid as you said. If I were At the last moment of the battle against Hua Mian Lang, if he had not discovered his flaw, he would have run away long ago. He would not have given up his life in vain for the great Chu country. After all, this country did not have the surname Zhou. It was not worth it to waste his life for it. .
And even if he greased the soles of his feet and slipped away without catching Huamian Lang and the other seven northern thieves, it is still unknown whether these northern thieves would be able to overthrow the Great Chu Kingdom. After all, among these eight thieves, Only the Supreme Taoist is the most destructive, but it is difficult for one person to create big waves.
Because if you want to do big things, no matter how hard a person works, the effect will be minimal. If you want to create a big trend, you need the cooperation of time, location, and people. These three points are indispensable. For someone like the Supreme Taoist , only knows how to do some crooked and mean things. In his mind, there is no such great wisdom at all, and this great wisdom determines the upper limit of what a person can do. Based on this alone, it can be determined that the supreme Taoist He is just a clown with superior strength, and he is not a threat to the Chu Kingdom at all.
As for the other people among the eight, they are even less worth mentioning, otherwise they would not have been caught so easily. As for the flower-faced man, his disguise skills are indeed the best in the world. During the battle between the two armies, Sometimes, he may be able to use this ability to mess up the opponent's intelligence system and create some favorable situations for his own camp, but in the end this is just a small trick. If he wants to win a military victory, he still relies on hard power.
After seeing the whole incident come to light, Lin Ajiao knew that the time had come for her to apologize. She could no longer drag it out just because she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Otherwise, it would only make Zhou Ming even more disappointed and she wanted to win his forgiveness. It's even harder.
Just when Lin Ajiao was about to walk over and formally apologize to Zhou Ming, a thought suddenly appeared in her mind. When Zhou Ming defeated the northern thief, it was the first half of the night last night, and Laifu just said that Zhou Ming was escorting the prisoner. It was already this afternoon when he left Huamanlou. Even after Zhou Ming caught the northern thief, he immediately conducted a surprise interrogation of him, which delayed some time, but the time between before and after was too long, completely unreasonable.
Lin Ajiao, who had been completely relaxed at first, became nervous again because she felt uneasy again. She felt that Yi Ming must not have fully explained everything about last night and must be hiding some ulterior secret. Maybe he was in a good mood after catching the thief from the Northern Kingdom, so he and his colleagues who went to Huamanlou together made a fake show and slept in flowers and willows in Huamanlou.
This is not because Lin Ajiao has to think the worst about her husband, but based on the analysis of the current situation, this possibility is the highest and most reasonable.
As soon as she had this idea in her mind, Lin Ajiao couldn't help but get angry. She wanted to run directly to Zhou Yiming and ask him clearly. If he was speechless and couldn't give a reasonable explanation, she would just forget it. No matter how unwilling you are, you will never miss him again.
But when she stepped forward, she suddenly stopped again, because she had suffered an impulsive mistake just now. If she made a mistake again this time, even if Zhou Ming was willing to forgive her, she would have no shame to continue to be with Zhou Ming.
Just when Lin Ajiao was struggling with what method to use to clarify her doubts, Zhou Ruhai took action for her.
After knowing his son's heroic behavior last night, Zhou Ruhai felt extremely happy. Seeing the scene of his wife's warm interaction with Yi Ming, he felt very happy. He even felt a little jealous in his heart and wanted to get involved in the mother-son relationship. During the interaction, but before he took any actual action, he felt the same confusion as Lin Ajiao.
However, as Zhou Ming's father, he didn't have as many worries as Lin Ajiao. He just said whatever came to his mind and asked Zhou Ming directly: "Ming'er, although you made a great contribution to the court last night, and you My actions were very heroic, but as a father, when I think about it carefully, what you just said seems inconsistent with the actual situation!"
After Mrs. Zhou knew the truth of the matter, she felt guilty and distressed for her son. So when she heard that Zhou Ruhai wanted to cause trouble for her son again, she immediately became angry: "Master, are there any fathers like you? Just now our son has already You made it clear enough. As a father, you don't reflect on yourself and think about how to make up for our son. Instead, you want to cause trouble for our son.
If you are so picky, not to mention your son will be angry, even I will feel unhappy! "
Zhou Yiming Bingxue was smart and had already guessed what his father was thinking. If it had been before, he would have stopped his father from asking those stupid questions before he took action. However, the situation was different now. His father was furious just now. Next, he didn't save any face for himself, and this time he also let him taste the shame.
Zhou Yiming saw through it without saying anything, and watched with cold eyes as his mother dealt with his father.
The servants in the yard were also very confused at this time. What was wrong with their master and he was causing trouble for the young master again.
Facing his wife's doubts and complaints, Zhou Ruhai frowned and said impatiently: "You are a woman, what do you know? You didn't think carefully about the northern thief your son caught in the middle of the night last night. But you don’t know when he came back, right?
And just now Laifu also said that your son left Huamanlou with others in the afternoon, and the time in between didn't match up. Do you know what this means? To be honest, your son was diligent in his official duties. After catching the traitor from the North, he immediately interrogated him for more than ten hours.
But do you believe this reason? Does the current emperor believe it?
I thought of this, could I not ask him clearly?
If outsiders say that your son is working for the public good for personal gain, taking advantage of the opportunity to capture the thieves from the North, sleeping among flowers and willows in a flower-filled building, where do you want me to put this old face?
When the court takes the blame, your son will not only have no merit, but will be unable to escape the blame. "
Seeing that her father-in-law asked the question for her, Lin Ajiao let out a long sigh of relief.
The servants, who were originally immersed in the festive atmosphere, all looked at each other in shock after hearing this possibility. Although they all tended to believe Zhou Ming, what their master said was not entirely unreasonable.
Laifu was lying on the ground at the gate. After being beaten violently, he was in unbearable pain all over his body, so he kept rolling around on the ground. On the one hand, this could relieve the pain, and on the other hand, he could relieve the pain to a certain extent. to avoid getting beaten again.
Laifu was completely in despair. He did not expect his young master to let him go after the incident. He only hoped that his death would come as late as possible.
Just as he was screaming in despair, he suddenly heard his master's doubts about Zhou Ming. His eyes suddenly lit up and he suddenly sat up from the ground.
He turned back to look at the two strong servants, and said with a gloomy smile: "You two, don't be complacent, see? The young master has new troubles. It's not certain who will win. If I are allowed to stand up again, , you two just wait to die! Don’t worry, I will let you die quickly."
