“It’s him again. He’s my nemesis.” King Hui said it through gritted teeth.
He had a look of pure hatred. He wanted nothing more than to tear Gu Chengrui apart and eat him alive.
Eunuch Ma did not reply, but he agreed with him very much. Anything that involved Gu Chengrui always ended poorly for them. However, he did not dare to say this out loud.
“Master, what should we do next? Without those weapons, the Northern Continent won’t help us.”
“If it really doesn’t work, we can only cede land and compensate.”
“Please think twice, Master. I’m afraid it’s easy to invite but difficult to send away. At that time, it’s not something that the three provinces can solve.”
“It’s not certain who’s plotting against whom.” King Hui laughed sinisterly.
Eunuch Ma saw the viciousness on his face and did not dare to persuade him anymore.
The next day, King Hui went to find the King of the Northern Continents. “Your Majesty, our weapons were robbed. They are now in the hands of the Zhou Army. Do you think we should send someone to snatch them back?”
“The news I heard is different from what you said. Don’t think I’m your vanguard.”
“How can that be? We’re working together.”
“It’s obvious that you’re not sincere. We’ll talk about it when you’re serious about cooperating. Send our guest out,” the King of the Northern Continents said as he stood up.
After saying that, he left him alone.
King Hui looked at his condescending attitude and gritted his teeth in anger. However, he had no good response and could only leave the palace.
As for the matter of ceding land and compensation, he would only suggest that if it were absolutely necessary.
He tried it twice more and even offered to give the King the Zhou Army once they took it. Yet, the King of the Northern Continent did not agree.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.
Zhou Ying sent the last batch of New Year gifts to the palace. When she returned, she found many more people at home. She paused, saw Gu Chengrui in the crowd, and went forward. “Rui, when did you come back?”
“I just arrived.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he introduced Tiger and the others.
“Thank you for your hard work, brothers. You guys settle down first and have a meal. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk later.” Zhou Ying nodded and asked Niu Fugui to bring them away.
Gu Chengrui pulled over a man who was about his age and said, “This is Brother Gu Zheng. He used to be in the rouge and cosmetic business. Don’t you want to do this business too? He can help you.”
“Hello, Brother Gu. Thank you in advance for working with us in the future.” Zhou Ying said.
“You’re too polite, Mistress. You can just call me Gu Zheng.” Gu Cheng bowed.
“You just had a tough journey. You can stay in the guest house and have a good rest. We’ll talk later.”
After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she asked someone to bring him to the guest room and returned to the main courtyard with Gu Chengrui.
While he was washing up, Zhou Ying went to the kitchen to make some arrangements.
Because there were too many additional people, Zhou Ying asked the kitchen to cook a big pot of dishes and steamed rice.
Even Gu Chengrui only had two more drumsticks than the normal.
After he finished eating, Zhou Ying poured him a glass of water. “What’s up with that Gu Zheng? Can he be trusted?”
“Yes, I saved him when I was in Liuzhou. I’ve signed a death contract with him.”
“Death contract? He’s not an ordinary person, is he?”
“Yes, the Gu family’s business in Liuzhou Province is not tiny, and he is the family’s eldest son.
“However, since they were young, he and his mother had never been favored at home.
“The old madam who had been protecting him had passed away, and his mother had been killed.
“His wife had sought refuge with his brother, and he had even discovered that the two children were not his.
“He was just about to take revenge when he was schemed against by his father. If I hadn’t discovered it in time, he would have died of excessive blood loss that night..”
