It wasn't until the backs of Chu Ze and Lan Yu were completely invisible that the group of people started talking: "Master Su, what does Chu Ze mean?"
"Yes, should we give this away or not?"
"But if you don't give it away, this person will ask for it."
"Then what if giving it away turns out to be self-defeating?"
"Yes, yes, Master Su, you need to make an idea."
A series of sounds made Su Zhen's ears numb. Recalling Chu Ze's attitude, Su Zhen's face became darker and darker.
Liu Ping saw that he looked bad and immediately scolded everyone: "Quiet!"
Everyone subconsciously closed their mouths and looked at Su Zhen.
Liu Ping also looked at Su Zhen.
Su Zhen glanced at everyone, slowly raised his hand, and waved: "Go back, everyone. Don't act rashly yet. I will tell you what to do after I have figured it out."
Everyone looked at each other and turned to leave reluctantly.
Liu Ping did not leave.
He and Su Zhen returned to the living room and sat down one after another.
"Sir, what do you think about this?" Liu Ping asked again, "How dare Chu Ze ask for money right after we met?"
If they take the initiative to give it, that is a temptation.
But what about Chu Ze?
Is it a test or a trap?
If it were anyone else, they might have agreed, but it was Chu Ze, the emperor's royal guard, and they couldn't help it.
Of course, if Chu Ze can be brought over, it will be of great benefit to them.
That's why they are so hesitant.
Liu Ping looked at Su Zhen, wanting to hear his thoughts.
Su Zhen took a slow sip of tea.
Under Liu Ping's eager eyes, he said: "You also know Chu Ze's identity. Now he suddenly asks for money and uses the Queen to pressure us. This matter really makes people feel unsure."
"Then let's give up?" Liu Ping was a little unwilling.
Su Zhen was unwilling to give in.
"If we can win over Chu Ze, then we don't have to be as secretive as we do now. Anyway, Chu Ze will deal with us. If we just give up like this, I will never be reconciled. In this way, I will go to Yingtian. Write a letter and ask that adult to see what he thinks of Chu Ze. If the adult says it’s feasible, let’s take action.”
When Liu Ping heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He pounded his palms hard and said happily: "This is a good method. That gentleman has had a lot of dealings with Chu Ze, so he must know Chu Ze very well."
As long as the adult can confirm that Chu Ze is a money-loving person, they can take action.
Su Zhen thought the same way.
He immediately wrote a letter and asked people to hurry up and send it to Yingtian.
After Chu Ze and Lan Yu left the Su Mansion, they wandered toward the military camp in the dark of night.
He was completely unaware of all the turmoil at the table.
He just drank wine, returned to the camp and fell asleep.
Chu Ze returned to his tent, but did not fall asleep immediately.
He is waiting.
After about half an hour, someone reported at the door: "Sir, I have something to report."
Hearing this voice, Chu Ze's already somewhat sleepy spirit was suddenly shocked.
He immediately said: "Come in."
The man immediately opened the curtain and walked in.
This person was dressed as a servant, and he seemed to be the central subordinate that Chu Ze brought out from the Jinyi Guards when he went to Ningxia.
Seeing this person coming in, Chu Ze motioned for him to sit down, and then quickly asked: "How is it?"
"Your Majesty expected it to be true. After Your Majesty and Lan Shuai left, they immediately began to discuss whether to win over Your Majesty. However, they discussed it but did not come up with a result. Su Zhen was extremely cautious, fearing that Your Majesty was setting a trap for them. , so I decided to write to Yingtian, saying that I wanted to ask the adults in Yingtian's mansion before making a decision." The subordinate told Chu Ze exactly what he heard.
After hearing this, Chu Ze snorted coldly: "It's just as I expected."
Ningxia is such a large territory, and Su Zhen is domineering here, how can there be no news from Yingtian.
Sure enough, there was someone who was in harmony with him.
Eighty percent of those who come to verify political performance every year have also been bribed by Su Zhen.
Even if I didn't buy it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to speak now.
And this adult in Yingtian Mansion played an indispensable role.
Chu Ze thought for a while, turned around, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter.
After writing, he sealed it in an envelope and handed it to the person. He warned: "You should catch up with that person immediately and keep an eye on who he has contacted. Then give this letter to His Highness the Second Prince. Go ahead."
"yes."
…
After attending the banquet in Su Zhen that day, Chu Ze returned to his idle days.
He would sleep until the sun was shining three times a day, then get up slowly, eat again, and spend the rest of the time either going out to play or messing around with the soldiers in the barracks.
When Lan Yu found out, she chased him with a knife and cut down half of the camp.
Chu Ze was tired from running and sat on the ground.
"Father-in-law, what's the matter with you? Why don't we just play with them? We're not gambling."
"That's not okay!" Lan Yu glared at him, "There are rules in the military camp. You kid, don't rely on the support of the emperor, queen, and empress behind you. We won't dare to deal with you. This matter really comes to the emperor. In front of me, that's our fault!" Lan Yu walked up to Chu Ze, stretched out her legs and kicked him several times.
Without any effort, Chu Ze didn't even bother to move.
He patted the place beside him and motioned Lan Yu to sit down.
Lan Yu didn't move.
Chu Ze didn't force anything, he just sat there and looked up at him: "Father-in-law, don't worry, we know what's appropriate."
"You know nothing about propriety! If you really knew about propriety, you should go back to Beijing to deliver your orders now. How could you stay here?" Lan Yu spat at him angrily.
Chu Ze: "Then the emperor didn't urge me either."
"Do you need him to urge you? This is the duty of a minister!" Lan Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense to Chu Ze. This man always had a lot of reasons. He definitely couldn't convince him, so he might as well send him back to Beijing to save him. To harm his soldiers here, Lan Yu stretched out his hand to lift the man up, grabbed him by the collar and walked to the tent, "You go back to the capital now."
The war here has subsided, and when things in the military camp are completely settled, he will have to return to Beijing.
Originally, Chu Ze wanted to go with him, but he had no objection.
But this kid grabs a bunch of people and plays games there every day.
Chu Ze was an imperial envoy, and no one in the military camp dared to speak ill of him. Several generals couldn't stand it, so they could only secretly find Lan Yu and ask him to take more care of him.
Lan Yu couldn't control it and could only send the person away quickly.
But Chu Ze was as slippery as a loach.
Lan Yu just made a slight mistake and Chu Ze slipped away.
Take Zhao Si around the city.
Not long after walking, Zhao Si took two steps and walked side by side with Chu Ze.
He asked in a low voice: "Master, is that person still following you?"
Chu Ze didn't answer him immediately, but after walking forward for a while, he turned around casually and glanced behind him.
In the crowd, a figure immediately moved aside and stood in front of a stall, pretending to choose something.
"Let's go." Chu Ze grabbed Zhao Si and flashed towards the side path.
