It was as if Liu Yunxi's existence was to remind herself that he was still alive.
Overnight, Shao Peichen lost all his power and superior capital, but he also lived more comfortably.
In Yongzhou, no one knows who he is, and no one is always urging him to make calculations.
He seems to have forgotten the days when he lived in the whirlpool of officialdom.
But only Liu Yunxi's existence reminded Shao Peichen of the kind of person he once was.
So, he didn't want her to leave, no matter what.
From beginning to end, Shao Peichen was a selfish person.
He doesn't plan to change it.
Shao Peichen took back his hand that was still in the air and sighed quietly: "You have a good rest."
He turned and left Liu Yunxi's room.
Shao Peichen walked out without looking back. He could clearly feel that Liu Yunxi behind him was staring at his back.
It wasn't until the door behind him was closed by the nursing home that Shao Peichen stood there, closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
At this moment, Chen Jinjun was inside the Chen Mansion, listening to Suiyu chattering about the Miaoyin Tower.
Broken Jade's eyebrows danced with joy: "My boss, to tell you the truth, more and more theater troupes are coming to Miaoyin House now."
Chen Jinjun nodded: "If you look at the situation, I will naturally feel relieved."
Suiyu seemed to suddenly remember something: "In two days, there will be a theater troupe coming from the capital."
"Coming from the capital?" Chen Jinjun frowned and repeated.
Speaking of it, Beijing was much better than Yongzhou. She couldn't understand why this theater troupe gave up Beijing and came to Yongzhou instead.
Suiyu noticed Chen Jinjun's confusion and quickly said: "This troupe is quite interesting."
"Oh?" Chen Jinjun looked at Suiyu curiously.
Sui Yu held her chin: "My boss was in the capital before, so he should know that the Queen Mother of the West loved to listen to operas."
Chen Jinjun nodded, this is indeed something everyone in the capital knows.
"Because of this, almost all the famous actors in the capital have been elected to the palace."
Suiyu tilted her head: "But there is a group of people who only perform in the neighborhood and never perform for dignitaries."
"You mean 'Jin Family Class'?" Chen Jinjun had heard about this incident, thanks to Shen Xiaoxiao.
Suiyu nodded: "It's the Jin family class, but...what's a little weird is that their request is that our Miaoyin Tower must let them sing for three days."
"It's only three days, I can agree." Chen Jinjun didn't think there was any problem.
Sui Yu hesitated for a moment: "The Jin family class just broke up with the person named Yuan, so..."
To put it bluntly, a smart person like Chen Jinjun also knows the meaning of broken jade.
She waved her hand: "It's okay, just do it as usual. Just make arrangements for your accommodation and so on."
It's just a troupe. I don't know how long Yuan can continue dancing.
Suiyu nodded. With Chen Jinjun's words, she felt confident.
As long as the Jin family troupe sets this precedent in Miaoyin Tower, Suiyu will be sure that all the troupes from all over the world will come to Miaoyin Tower to sing.
Chen Jinjun tapped the armrest of his chair thoughtfully. All he could do now was wait for any movement from Chai Yang and Yu Cheng. There was no rush.
But what is puzzling is that both Chaiyang and Yucheng were deathly silent and did not respond at all to the declaration of war sent by Huo Tingyu.
This is really incredible.
After a few days, the chirping of cicadas was disturbing, and Lu Ze finally arrived in Yongzhou.
However, this time he came alone, without He Cheng by his side.
He was sitting in Huo Tingyu's reception room, rubbing his knees awkwardly, not at all like the provocative look he had when he came to Yongzhou last time.
"County Magistrate Lu, have you figured it out?" Huo Tingyu sat on the sofa opposite Lu Ze and looked at Lu Ze leisurely.
Lu Ze cleared his throat: "What does the Marshal think? It was Shao Peichen's idea to go against the Marshal before. Now that he is dead, I have no reason to go against the Marshal."
"You won't go against me?" Huo Tingyu smiled, "Do you believe what County Magistrate Lu said?"
Once only Yongzhou is left in the northwest, how can Lu Ze let Yongzhou go?
But now is really not the time to go against the powerful Yongzhou. Lu Ze can only bite the bullet and explain to Huo Tingyu: "The commander-in-chief can choose for himself, believe it or not."
"I don't believe it." Huo Tingyu immediately gave the answer.
Lu Ze choked at Huo Tingyu's quick reply, then put on a smile: "Well, let's sign a treaty and we will not invade each other within three years."
"Three years?" Huo Tingyu raised his eyebrows.
Lu Ze thought Huo Tingyu had intentions and nodded: "Three years."
"Too short," Huo Tingyu shook his head, "Ten years."
Lu Ze was frightened by Huo Tingyu's loud words, and said quickly: "Five years, no more."
Huo Tingyu glanced at Lu Ze with a smile but not a smile: "County Magistrate Lu's ambition is not small, twenty years."
Lu Ze saw the threat in Huo Tingyu's eyes and swallowed hard: "Commander, you are making things difficult for me. I am also working for Chairman Zhu. You see..."
"Terrorize me?" Huo Tingyu clicked his tongue disdainfully, "Thirty years."
Lu Ze didn't know what to say now. Huo Tingyu's attitude of not taking Chairman Zhu seriously made his trump card look so ridiculous.
Lu Ze gritted his teeth: "Ten years at most."
Huo Tingyu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then ten years."
Then, he added another sentence: "You already agreed when I said ten years, so why bother with more words?"
"Right, County Magistrate Lu."
Huo Tingyu patted Lu Ze on the shoulder, took the paperwork and handed over the newly written treaty, placing it in front of Lu Ze.
Lu Ze raised his head and looked at Huo Tingyu who was standing: "The commander is very calculating."
Huo Tingyu smiled: "It's just a small skill, it can't be put on the stage."
Lu Ze bit his back molars and carefully read the contract that Huo Tingyu handed to him, fearing that Huo Tingyu had laid some trap in it for him to get into.
Huo Tingyu looked at Lu Ze's cautious look and couldn't help but taunted: "Why, County Magistrate Lu is afraid of me?"
Lu Ze paused and said meaningfully: "The commander's methods are endless, and I have to guard against them."
Huo Tingyu was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Lu Ze to read the terms of the treaty.
"Can I sign now?"
Only then did Lu Ze loosen his tightly clenched fists. It had to be said that the contract Huo Tingyu gave him was really hard to find fault with.
He bit his back molars and pushed the signed contract towards Huo Tingyu.
Huo Tingyu signed his name and gave one copy to Lu Ze.
"County Magistrate Lu must put it away and don't leave anything behind." He specifically asked Lu Ze.
Lu Ze picked up the contract and stared at Huo Tingyu: "Marshal Huo, we will see you later."
Huo Tingyu raised his hand and waved, smiled and said to Lu Ze: "Then I wish County Magistrate Lu's wish come true?"
Seeing Huo Tingyu's meaningful smile, Lu Ze clenched his back molars and strode away.
Chen Jinjun walked out from behind the screen in the conference room and said to Huo Tingyu, "Did he really sign it?"
Huo Tingyu praised the treaty Yang just took over from Lu Ze: "Of course I'll sign it."
Ten-year non-aggression pact.
Chen Jinjun pursed his lips and looked out the window: "It can be considered peaceful for the time being."
Huo Tingyu nodded and sighed: "Who says it's not the case?"
