Chapter 619: Xu Ziling's Worries
Before Song Que arrived in Liangdu, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling came back first.
The two of them didn't even bring a guard, and they were exhausted. If the soldiers guarding the city had not recognized the two, they would not believe that there were the other two commanders of the Young Commander's Army in front of them.
Upon hearing the news, Chu Zheng left half of the government affairs and ran out happily to greet him.
Kou Zhong is back, which means that the complicated government affairs can finally be handed over to this guy who is lazy and running to fight.
Xu Xingzhi and other ministers wanted to go out to greet him, but Chu Zheng turned around and waved his hand and said, "No, no, you guys are busy, just let me and Mr. Zhong, Ziling come back by himself."
He was fed up with the urging of the front and back when he went out, and knew that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had the same mentality, so this time he only brought a few guards and went to the city gate to greet the two of them.
The three of them were happy to meet, especially Chu Zheng and Xu Ziling had not seen each other for more than half a year. This reunion was extremely happy. The three of them walked towards the city lord's mansion with each other, and several guards followed more than a dozen steps away.
Chu Zheng sneered: "Okay, Young Master Zhong, you came back secretly. Xu Xingzhi is still preparing to hold a grand welcome ceremony for you, the triumphal masters."
Kou Zhong looked bitterly: "I won't join in the fun. I didn't even shoot a few arrows along the way. Chuanzhou almost fell in sight. The only Shucheng, which may be necessary to attack the city, was also for Ziling to take action himself, and immediately persuaded Ziling to surrender and opened the city gate to surrender. Alas, there was no meaning at all! By the way, Brother Chu, Ziling seems to have a different insider, but I didn't ask any questions. You have many ideas, please coax Ziling to tell me."
Chu Zheng laughed and scolded, "You have many ideas." He would not be encouraged by Kou Zhong, but just smiled and said, "Zi Ling is a good skill."
Xu Ziling glared at Kou Zhong angrily before answering: "It's just a matter of time. Brother Chu really wants to know. Let's talk about it in detail when we go back."
The three of them originally wanted to go back to the city lord's mansion to meet in a low-key manner, but they were all famous people in Liangdu. The appearance together caused a sensation among the people in the city. For a moment, countless people rushed out of their houses to welcome them, cheering sounded and huddled in the sky, and the people who gave them tea and snacks made the three of them in a hurry. They walked for nearly an hour before returning to the city lord's mansion.
Now only Chu Zheng’s yard is popular, so he naturally eats and drinks here. Since it was a private gathering, he naturally did not notify others.
Of course, A Fei and Ximen Rou have both gone to Chu Zheng's "Nighthawks" and are not in the city lord's mansion.
Now the 6,000 "Nighthawk" people are divided into three parts. Zhang Wuji, A Fei and Ximen Rou each have one. There is also a general manager on it, but Fu Minyi from Lingjiu Palace is here to serve as the role. Fu Minyi is used to leading the heroes of the world, but she is more experienced than Zhang Wuji and the other three. However, Fu Minyi only cares for logistics, meritorious memorials, notifications, etc., and is not responsible for direct command. She is considered Chu Zheng's secretary to manage "Nighthawk".
The reason why Chu Zheng chose Fu Minyi is very simple. Now his power in the world mainly comes from Lingjiu Palace and the 36 Caves and Seventy-Two Islands. These were originally managed by Fu Minyi. In addition, this "Nighthawk" was also selected from the masters of the world, so that Fu Minyi, as a daily manager, could save Chu Zheng a lot of trouble.
Chu Zheng, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling came to the pavilion in the small yard. Sun Xiaohong obediently played a maid with a guest appearance, and served wine and food, without disturbing the three of them, and retreated with a smile.
"I haven't seen each other for a month, why has Brother Chu changed another beautiful girl?" Kou Zhong winked.
"Go and go, this is the eldest lady of the Sun family, the Sun family who gave us a lot of useful information."
Kou Zhong said happily: "Miss Sun's family is here? I'll pour you wine and serve food? Brother Chu, I really convinced you this time! With the help of the Sun family's intelligence network, it will be much easier for us to conquer the world. Come on, let's have a drink first!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhong to pacify Chuanzhou!"
"Congratulations to Xiaoling for a word to come to Shucheng!"
"Congratulations to the reunion of the three of us!"
The three of them first had a few glasses of wine, and then started to eat.
Seeing that although Xu Ziling was chatting and laughing, Chu Zheng couldn't help but say, "What's unpleasant about Ziling's trip to Chuanzhou?"
He knew that Xu Ziling entered Sichuan this time mainly for Shi Qingxuan. Seeing Xu Ziling returning alone and having such a look, could he be rejected by Shi Qingxuan?
Xu Ziling drank a glass of wine in a daze before whispering softly: "I'm just thinking, why do people have concerns? If you don't care, wouldn't it be more free and comfortable to be alone?"
Kou Zhong said in shock: "Xiaoling, don't scare me. Are you looking through the world and becoming a monk? Is that girl Shi Qingxuan not interested in you? His grandmother's bear, a romantic figure like our young master, she doesn't like it?"
Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I just felt it for a moment, not really seeing through everything and becoming a monk. I was wondering, are people destined to be lonely? Because many times, people can't even recognize themselves, and it is even more difficult to see others' inner and outer appearances. If they can't see clearly, how can they fall in love with others?"
Kou Zhong stared at him for a while before saying, "Although your statement is a bit pessimistic, it's not unreasonable. I have met Song Yuzhi a few times, but I have to have a deep love for her. But if I really want to ask if I know her completely, I really can't answer."
Chu Zheng patted the table, attracted the attention of the two of them, and said helplessly: "I'm telling you two, can you stop sympathizing with each other? Young Master Zhong, your father-in-law is coming soon, and you only doubt your feelings for Song Yuzhi?"
Chu Zheng looked at Xu Ziling again: "Ziling, I know you are a very free and easy person. You are very frivolous in love with men and women. You never want to force anything. You just want to go with the flow. You probably think that life is short, and life should transcend life and death, enjoy the starry sky and nature. Therefore, your heart is to enjoy the feeling of loneliness, so you are unwilling to fight for it and retreat after encountering emotional setbacks."
Xu Ziling nodded silently, feeling like a confidant, and indeed Brother Chu knew him best, even better than Kou Zhong.
Chu Zheng said again: "It is normal for you to not see yourself and others clearly. If you don't talk about others, who can guarantee that your mood will not change in the next moment? But this lack of understanding is completely different from whether you will fall in love with others. Look at the mountain, you feel that the green mountains are so charming, and you will feel happy and even like it because of it. But do you have enough understanding of the green mountains? Do you know how many trees there are and how many beasts there are in the mountain?"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both stunned.
Chu Zheng said again: "No, of course you don't know, and you don't even have to understand. You like the green mountain because you see its beautiful side and get the beauty from it. Just like Young Master Zhong likes Song Yuzhi, and is also attracted by some of her advantages and temperaments. That's enough? Just study everything clearly, for example, to know how many hairs Song Yuzhi has, what's the point?"
Kou Zhong patted the table and said with a smile: "It's still Brother Chu who has a lot of beautiful women around him who speaks with reason! Damn it, I just like Song Yuzhi. She is beautiful, has a noble temperament, and has a very refreshing personality. Isn't that enough? Xiaoling, you almost took me into the pit. Please get three glasses of wine!"
