Chapter 1581: Seeking, Returning to Dadu, Envoy

When Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying were captured before, they mentioned Su Mingzhe's name, but Gongsun Zhi obviously didn't believe it.

Now that Su Mingzhe had introduced himself, Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

However, he did not reflect on himself, but looked at his daughter with resentment again:
"Evil obstacle, and you still say it's not you who brought it?"

"It has nothing to do with your daughter!"

Seeing that Gongsun Zhi refused to repent, Su Mingzhe was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him.

With a wave of his hand, Su Mingzhe repelled the surrounding disciples in the valley and left the Jueqing Valley with the girls.

"Are you just going to let this bastard go?"

When Lu Wushuang saw Su Mingzhe leaving so freely, she immediately became angry.

She and her cousin had been detained these days and had suffered a lot, and had almost starved to death in the Valley of Unrequited Love.

Now that Su Mingzhe has gained the upper hand, he let Gongsun Zhi go so easily. If he goes back like this, she might even wake herself up in the middle of the night because of anger.

"For Miss Gongsun's sake, please forgive him this time!"

Su Mingzhe gave Lu Wushuang a look. Whether she could understand it or not depended on herself.

Soon, everyone came to the boulder.

Seeing the girls jumping onto the boulder one after another, Gongsun Lu'e began to hesitate.

Just now, she was pulled out by Yelu Yan and Wanyan Ping as a syndicate.

Now that she really had to leave the Jueqing Valley with a group of people she had just met, Gongsun Lu'e couldn't help but feel hesitant and melancholy.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe had been paying attention to her. Before she could make a decision, he came to her side and advised her gently:

"Miss Gongsun, your father is angry with us now, and he probably hates you to the core. If you stay, he will inevitably be angry with you. If something unexpected happens to you, we will feel guilty! Why don't you leave with us first, and come back to visit us when your father's anger has subsided, how about that?"

The man's words were like autumn sorghum wine. Just one sip and the girl was intoxicated and dizzy. Before she knew it, she had left the Unrequited Valley.

Return to camp.

Because it was night, it was difficult to arrange accommodation.

He simply let the women sleep together, and Su Mingzhe went outside to sit cross-legged in meditation.

the next day.

After breakfast, Su Mingzhe led the team back to Nanyang Prefecture.

Lu Wushuang suddenly patted his head, came to the man, and said with a beaming face:
"Uncle Master, did you place any restrictions on Gongsun Zhi?"

"You've figured it out now?"

Su Mingzhe looked at this silly nephew with disdain, and after glancing at Gongsun Lue'e who was not far away, he warned:

"Don't mention the matter of Jueqing Valley again..."

The restriction he placed on Gongsun Zhi was a bit vicious. If Gongsun Lue'e knew about it, she would probably become estranged from him.

Lu Wushuang noticed Su Mingzhe's look and immediately understood. She felt a little sour in her heart and started to mock him directly:
"So, Master Uncle has taken a fancy to Miss Gongsun..."

"I just fell in love with her!"

As the status around him changed, Su Mingzhe had fewer concerns. Seeing the girl pouting, he simply said:
"Wushuang, I'm not only attracted to Miss Gongsun, but also to you and your cousin! When I return to Dadu, I'll take you all in!"

"Bah, who wants to be taken in by you!"

Although Lu Wushuang had been bold since childhood, she was still embarrassed by Su Mingzhe's words and returned to her cousin.

……

The season of frost.

Su Mingzhe finished his inspection and returned to Dadu.

When Huang Rong saw the eldest disciple coming back, she said unhappily:

"I thought you were going to spend the New Year outside and not come back to Dadu?"

"Master's wife, what are you talking about? I have wanted to come back for a long time, but there are too many chaos in the area, and it is a bit troublesome to deal with it!"

Su Mingzhe was out on a tour for 100 days this time, dealing with more than 100 corrupt officials, thousands of local bullies, landlords, gentry, and bandits. Now, in the territory under Su Mingzhe's jurisdiction, there may still be injustices, but more than 80% of the territory has been pacified, and the people can already live and work in peace.

"Two groups of people came to Lin'an, saying they want to announce a decree to reward you!"

Huang Rong joked with his disciples for a while, then started talking about business:
"Mingzhe, your master is not here. Tell the truth to your master's wife. Are you planning to become emperor?"

Before, after Su Mingzhe conquered Dadu and recovered the Central Plains, he did not report it to Lin'an.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not understand the reason behind it and thought that Su Mingzhe was not seeking personal gain, so they did not take it seriously.

However, as Huang Rong handled more and more government affairs in Dadu, with the reminder of Liu Bingzhong and others, she came to her senses and guessed that what her eldest disciple was doing was no different from rebellion.

"Master's wife, I do have this intention!"

Su Mingzhe was not panicked when Huang Rong revealed his thoughts, but chuckled:
"Master's Wife, Zhao Song has been emperor for more than 200 years, and the descendants of Yan and Huang have suffered for more than 200 years. Am I not wronging them by saying this?"

When Huang Rong heard Su Mingzhe say this, she suddenly fell silent.

Strictly speaking, the Zhao Song Dynasty never unified the country and was not considered a legitimate dynasty.

Not to mention that it is not as good as the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, it is still far behind the Qin and Sui dynasties.

Seeing that Huang Rong agreed with his point of view, Su Mingzhe felt relieved:

"Master's Wife, since ancient times, the world has been ruled by the virtuous, and it has never been ruled by one family or one surname! Now that the Zhao Song Dynasty has lost its virtue, I will take its place. I will definitely be able to unify the world, and then cultivate and live with the people, reduce taxes and levies, and implement benevolent policies... As for my merits and demerits, I will leave it to future generations to judge!"

"Master's wife believes in you!"

Huang Rong knew long ago that her eldest disciple had embarked on a path of no return where success would mean death.

From the bottom of her heart, Huang Rong definitely supported her disciple, but at this moment, a trace of sadness appeared on her beautiful face:
"How are you going to explain to your master?"

Guo Jing has been loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial all his life, but now his eldest disciple has become a traitor.

How can he meet heroes all over the world in the future?

"Master's wife, rest assured. I have already made arrangements..."

If Su Mingzhe had not considered Guo Jing's thoughts, he would have put on the yellow robe and ascended the throne to become emperor long ago.

Huang Rong listened to Su Mingzhe's arrangement and was silent for a moment. After thinking about the pros and cons, she chose to support it:
"Since you have already made arrangements here, we will return to Peach Blossom Island when your master comes back!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Madam Master!"

Su Mingzhe felt relieved when he saw that Huang Rong was convinced by him.

He also didn't want to become enemies with his master because of his ascension to the throne.

……

Su Mingzhe first met the eunuch who announced the imperial edict for the two groups of envoys who came from Lin'an.

Su Mingzhe could choose not to report the previous capture of Dadu and the recovery of Central Plains, but the imperial court could not pretend to be unaware of it!

After learning that the Central Plains had been recovered, the imperial court opened the Taimiao and celebrated.

At the same time, the court also rewarded Su Mingzhe.

The reward materials included not only food and salaries, as well as rare tributes from various places, but also thirty-two beauties.

Song Lizong died too quickly, and there were still hundreds of beauties in the palace, but he didn't have a chance to enjoy them.

Shi Songzhi selected thirty-two stunning beauties and sent them to Su Mingzhe.

Thirty-two girls, wearing only light gauze skirts in early winter, were inevitably shivering from the cold.

Su Mingzhe was led into the backyard of the palace with a distressed look on his face:

"The Lin'an court is too stingy. They are reluctant to even give out cotton clothes!"

He was actually wronging the court.

It was still a hot summer day when these stunning beauties set out, so their clothing was naturally cool and thin.

Who would have thought that Su Mingzhe would be away for more than a hundred days and only come back in early winter?
