I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Chapter 345 Commitment

"letter?"

Jiang Zuo was slightly stunned, but soon remembered that this might be a letter sent by Siyue in the capital. After thinking about it, he quickly took it and opened it.

"Jiang Zuo, everything is fine here. I have heard the news of your triumphant return and I am happy for you. But I cannot leave the capital and go to Jiangzhou City to meet you. I wonder if you still remember the promise you made. If you want to marry me, then come to the capital and propose to my family..."

"Siyue can't come to Jiangzhou?"

Seeing the contents of the letter, Jiang Zuo couldn't help but frown, feeling a little disappointed.

He and Siyue hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, so naturally he missed her quite a bit.

At the beginning, the two of them promised each other that as long as Jiang Zuo completed the task of marching south to attack Chen, they could go to the capital and propose to Siyue.

Now is the time.

But if I go to the capital, doesn’t that mean I have to meet the emperor as well?

Jiang Zuo felt a little more conflicted.

He really wanted to propose to Siyue, but he didn't want to meet the empress.

Is there a possibility that Jiang Zuo secretly entered the capital without telling the emperor?

Jiang Zuo had already made some plans in his mind.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could wait until I marry Siyue in the future and then return to Jiangzhou City and ask the emperor for permission to resign and return home?

Now that Jiangzuo has made great contributions, the empress will probably not be embarrassed.

From the fact that she summoned him to the capital this time, it can be seen that the empress's attitude is not as tough as before, and she did not let the Thousand Cavalry Division forcibly bring him to the capital.

This means that the empress has been somewhat tolerant towards Jiang Zuo, so just ignore Jiang Zuo's insolence.

"Master Guo, are you interested in coming to Beijing with me?"

Jiang Zuo asked in a low voice.

Master Guo raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, have you thought it through? Do you want to go to the capital to meet the emperor?"

Jiang Zuo said, "No, I am not going to the capital to see the emperor this time."

Master Guo thought for a moment and understood what was going on. He said, "Are you going to meet Miss Chen from Guanzhong?"

Jiang Zuo nodded silently.

"Since you have already entered the capital, why don't you go and see the emperor?"

Master Guo didn't understand Jiang Zuo's thoughts.

Jiang Zuo said: "In any case, the emperor must not be informed that I am going to the capital. I am going to the capital this time to propose marriage to the Chen family."

Master Guo said again: "Then congratulations, sir!"

Jiang Zuo said: "Don't rush to congratulate, first go and secretly prepare the gift for entering the capital, and don't let anyone else know."

"I understand that there are indeed many people in Jiangzhou City who are monitoring our every move. Perhaps they are sent by the imperial court."

Master Guo said in a low voice. He had followed Jiang Zuo for many years and had been extremely vigilant. The Thousand Cavalry Division secretly sent by the court had already been discovered by Master Guo and his men.

"We must not only be wary of the Thousand Cavalry Division, we also have to guard against one other person." Jiang Zuo's voice was low.

"Who?"

"Qin Yu, you can't let her know that I left Jiangzhou."

"Why is it Miss Qin?" Master Guo didn't understand.

Jiang Zuo said helplessly: "It's troublesome to say, anyway, don't let her know that I'm leaving."

Master Guo nodded and said, "Then I understand."

"One day after I leave Jiangzhou City, spread the news that I went south to Jiankang City and tricked the group of Qianqisi into going to Jiankang City."

Now Jiang Zuo's status is so noble that he has become the only king of a different surname in Yan State, but he still has to compete with Qianqisi in wits and courage.

In order to escape the empress, Jiang Zuo resorted to every possible means.

"Also, prepare for me all the most valuable things in Jiangzhou City."

This time I went to the capital to propose to Siyue.

When in Anding County, Jiang Zuo thought Siyue was Chen Chongde, a cloth merchant from Guanzhong. You have to know that these cloth merchants from Guanzhong were all wealthy and powerful families. Since he was going to propose marriage, how could he do it without some nice gifts?

But the problem is how to keep a low profile and avoid being discovered by the Thousand Cavalry Division in Jiangzhou City is also a difficult problem.

"Is this the marriage gift that you are going to prepare?" Master Guo already understood.

Jiang Zuo nodded and said, "Let's prepare now. Send someone to take the gifts and leave first, and we will follow behind."

"When do we set off?" asked Master Guo.

"The betrothal gifts will be sent out today, and we will sneak out of the city early tomorrow morning." Jiang Zuo ordered again.

"Understood. I will prepare it now."

Master Guo said this and set off.

Jiang Zuo stood there blankly, with complicated thoughts in his mind.

Thinking about going to Beijing to propose marriage, I couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

When I think of Siyue’s beautiful face, I can’t help but miss her even more.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Zuo immediately returned to his room and began to prepare his luggage. Since he was going to enter the capital secretly, the sooner the better.

If he didn't go to see Siyue again, they would be separated for such a long time and he was worried that their feelings would gradually fade. Ever since they first met in Anding County, there was only Siyue in Jiang Zuo's heart.

As for Qin Yu, who had expressed her love to Jiang Zuo many times, Jiang Zuo really didn't know how to respond.

As I was thinking about that, footsteps were heard behind me again.

"What are you doing?"

The person who came was still Qin Yu.

Jiang Zuo said calmly, "Nothing, just some cleaning."

"Why did I see you being sneaky with Master Guo just now?"

Qin Yu had been observing secretly just now.

"This little girl is really clingy." Jiang Zuo complained in his heart, but deep down, he was not actually annoyed with Qin Yu. He just didn't want to let the girl down, so he could only choose to escape.

Jiang Zuo turned around and said to Qin Yu, "There's nothing sneaky about this. You don't have to look at me like that. Let's get to know each other better and then talk about those things between men and women. How about that?"

Qin Yu bit her thin lips and said, "Do you hate me very much?"

"No, I think you are very good." Jiang Zuo said.

Qin Yu asked: "Then why do you always avoid me?"

Facing this question, Jiang Zuo did not answer, but only said: "Wait two days, I will talk to you slowly and in detail."

Having said that, Jiang Zuo walked out of the door without saying anything more to Qin Yu.

Just continue to escape.

The next morning.

There was silence in Jiang Zuo's mansion.

It was just the hour of Chen when Qin Yu came to the door as usual.

I knocked on the door, and it was still the servant who opened it.

"Miss Qin, you are here again?"

The servant spoke politely.
