Chapter 203: The Thirty-ninth Year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty
"My nephew greets uncle and aunt." When he entered the Zhou Mansion, Li You found Zhou Shou and his wife waiting in the living room. He looked around and saw Zhou Nan's figure.
Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but smile, "It's almost time for a bride, why are you still called uncle and aunt?" Li You's concern for Zhou Nan made her very satisfied.
"Son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law." Li You immediately changed his name, and the smile on Mrs. Zhou's face became even stronger. Even Zhou Shou, who had always been old-fashioned, did not show any displeasure.
"Wenyang has worked hard to go on the expedition this time, so it's good that he can come back safely." Zhou Shou sighed. When he was in-person, he was willing to return for a great victory, but unexpectedly he was defeated. Only more than 20,000 people were left to return to Beijing, especially the news of the death of British Gongqiu Yuande and other nobles. The east city was covered in white, and crying could be heard everywhere, which made him nervously investigate the news about Li You every day, for fear that something would happen to his old friend's children and his daughter's son-in-law.
Especially when Li You was trapped in Weizhou City, the news was not clear. Mrs. Zhou sighed all day long, and Zhou Nan cried. Fortunately, Xu Guang quietly returned to Beijing to comfort them; but this still couldn't let them go. Now that they had completely let go of their worries when they saw Li You back.
"I'm sorry for my father-in-law and mother-in-law worrying about me. It's really a sin." Li You quickly accused him of the crime. Hey, I don't know how many times Zhou Nan cried these days.
"Since you have made great contributions this time, I'll ask the emperor for a love affair and change you to a more relaxed official position, so you won't have to go to war in the future." Mrs. Zhou, who felt sorry for her son-in-law, advised. She didn't want her daughter to worry about Li You anymore.
"The son-in-law will be departing his majesty in a few days and return to Jiazhou. This time he came, he also made plans to ask the two of them to agree to the son-in-law's wedding in Jiazhou." Li You said to the truth that it would be better to leave the capital one day earlier. At present, the balance of the capital is very fragile, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be broken. He doesn't want to waste time on this anymore.
"Why should I go back to Jiazhou? How could Your Majesty not be granted the title after you made such great contributions?" Mrs. Zhou was a little unwilling. Who wouldn't want her daughter to marry a promising person? In her opinion, Li You is the opportunity to make a big comeback, but why did she retreat bravely?
"It's good to go back to Jiazhou." The changes in the situation in Beijing these days also made Zhou Shou frightened. He knew that the Jinbo in the capital was very different before, and Li You's words also made him want to retreat. "I plan to retire and return home. Since you want to go back to Jiazhou, I will send my daughter here in person."
Zhou Shou's words surprised Mrs. Zhou, but out of trust in her husband, she did not ask questions directly, but instead asked about Li You's experiences over the years. Li You picked some easy things and said that it was about to be about to go, and passed by those dangerous things. Despite this, the two old people were shocked.
He even heard a sound of gasping outside the window. Maybe Zhou Nan was eavesdropping with Danqing now? The two old men were enlightened. After talking for a while, they took the excuse of being trapped and retreating first. Only then did Li You have time to talk to Zhou Nan alone.
"Dad never let me go out these days, and there are few parties in Taiping. What did I think it was because of it? I didn't expect there were so many tricks here." Zhou Nan looked him up and down and found that he was not injured before he felt at ease. He held back his tears and said, "Now you are back safe."
Seeing that there was no one around, Danqing hid aside, Li You hurriedly hugged her in his arms with pity and comforted her, "I am outstanding in martial arts and proficient in military tactics, so it is so easy to get into trouble."
"Well, Brother You is the most powerful." If Zhou Nan had been laughing at him for being shameless, but at this moment she agreed with serious expressions. She had just heard Li You's words outside. She was really extraordinary to be able to return in such an unfavorable situation.
After all, they hadn't passed the door yet, so they couldn't stay alone for too long. After a few words, Li You should go home. Before leaving, he said, "After a few ****s, I'll say goodbye to Your Majesty, and then we go to Jiazhou together. After getting married, I'll take you to visit the beautiful scenery of Jiazhou."
Zhou Nan blushed and responded in a low voice, obviously looking forward to the life described by Li You.
Back at the Jiazhou Bo Mansion from the Master Zhou Mansion, before he could continue discussing with Yao Guangxiao, Xu Guang sent a lot of invitations. Among them were Princess Taiping who had made great efforts in the capital change, Qiu Shangjian who fought side by side with him for many days, and Zheng Liang and other classmates in the Imperial College were waiting for Li You to choose these after seeing a doctor and those who had to go. After discussing the itinerary with Xu Guang, it was already the hour of Hai.
Although it was late at night, Li You didn't care about anything else when it was urgent. He immediately rushed to Yao Guangxiao's room and continued to discuss the next countermeasures with him.
"The one who is in trouble now is how to convince Your Majesty to let me go." Li You bluntly said the question he was most worried about, "Now Your Majesty does not have many reliable personnel in the capital. I am one of the people he trusts, so he may not be able to let me go so easily."
"I have already thought about this." Yao Guangxiao Zhizhu was in control. "Now His Majesty trusted and suspected the lord. Trust is because you saved him many times and were in danger. Suspicion is because you have too high prestige in his people on his side. If you leave Beijing, he can make him suspicious, so if there is a suitable Li You, he will not stop him too much."
Then Yao Guangxiao slowly revealed his plan. Li You nodded to check for Yao Guangxiao's omissions. After all, he had just arrived in the Wei Dynasty and was not clear about the various customs and power distribution in the Wei Dynasty. He also needed reasons to improve the plan according to his ideas. However, Yao Guangxiao's method seemed to be feasible. Both sides discussed until midnight before they decided to make up the matter, and then went back to their rooms to fall asleep.
After washing up, Li You lay on the bed. Before he closed his eyes, the tiger talisman lit up again. "The time for the mission is up. Please prepare for entering the mission world. The world you entered this time is the 39th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. The way to enter is to enter the body."
