Strong favor

Zhou Nan just buried his head in his arms without saying a word.

They went crazy together for several days and nights, and this morning, the frontier sent another urgent report.

"Report! Your Majesty, it's not good! The Xiongnu invaded our border with an army of [-]!" A soldier with blood on his face rushed into the hall.

"The border guards are struggling to resist, but they lost to the Xiongnu's [-] cavalry. The border is falling, and the imperial court is invited to send troops!"

When Zhou Nan heard what he said, he felt a little relieved when he was burning with anxiety. This time the Xiongnu almost came out in full force. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take down the Xiongnu.

"Your Majesty, I request to send troops!"

Regardless of offending Shen Xiuyu, Zhou Nan knelt down on one knee and begged for his life.Speaking of dealing with the Xiongnu, if Zhou Nan is second, then no one dares to call Da Lin the number one.

There was silence in the court, and everyone was waiting for Shen Xiuyu's fate.

Everyone knows the danger of this battle, and if the Xiongnu dared to attack so aggressively, it must be inevitable.

Whoever leads the army will be the target of the Huns.

Shen Xiuyu's face darkened, and he glanced at Chaozhong, "Is there no one willing to lead troops except Zhou Nan?"

—Everyone is trash, fortunately the imperial court usually raises these trash, when the critical moment comes, there is not even a single person who stands up!

The court was silent for a while, and a handsome young man came out, "Your Majesty, I am also willing to lead the army."

Second rank lieutenant Jia Song came out.

Seeing this, Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Song is his man, and he has always obeyed his orders. If Jia Song is asked to lead the army, it is not much different from him leading the army.

Shen Xiuyu didn't know that Jia Song was under Zhou Nan's command, and he didn't want to use Jia Song, but there were really very few people in the court who were able to do this, and it could even be said to be one out of a hundred.

Afterwards, several commanders, deputy capital commanders, and generals came forward to take orders one after another, all of which were overruled by Shen Xiuyuling.

This is the final battle between the Lin Dynasty and the Huns, and he must treat it with caution.

In the end, he decided to let Jia Song lead the army.Zhou Nan said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I request you to join the army!"

Jia Song also interceded for him, "Your Majesty, the general has rich experience in battle, if he guides the army, he will surely get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Don't even think about it, retreat!"

Shen Xiuyu was furious, and the officials retreated shyly.After the court, Zhou Nan did not leave, but knelt outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation against the violent sun, "Zhou Nan begs to see His Majesty!" "No!"

Zhou Nan knew that the man would not change his mind anytime soon, so he was not in a hurry, so he just knelt down in front of the hall.

The harsh sunlight shone on him, making his already unattractive face even paler. His knees went from pain and numbness to complete insensibility, and this numbness spread from his waist to his entire body.

Sweat soaked the court clothes, and also wet his hair.Shen Xiuyu was pacing restlessly in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. This Zhou Nan clearly threatened him with his own body!

It's just horrible!Isn't it just relying on oneself to spoil him?

Today he wanted to show Zhou Nan some color, and he decided not to let Zhou Nan threaten him.

He made up his mind not to pay attention to Zhou Nan's movements. Zhou Nan knelt from day to night, and Shen Xiuyu finally walked out of the hall.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing him coming out, Zhou Nan rushed up to greet him, but saw Shen Xiuyu sitting in the sedan chair, and said to him lukewarmly, "I'm going to the harem to see my beautiful ladies. If you want to kneel, go on Kneeling.

Zhou Nan, don't think that I can't do without you, there are a lot of women waiting for me in the harem, what are you, you dare to be arrogant? "

After all, Eunuch Li asked people to pick up the sedan chair.Shen Xiuyu thought in his heart that he could learn a lesson this time, but he heard the panicked voices of the palace people behind him, "Commander Zhou! What's wrong with you?!"

And the sound of heavy objects falling.

Shen Xiuyu took a deep breath, and hurriedly said, "Stop the car!"

He ran back, only to see Zhou Nan lying on the ground profusely sweating, surrounded by a group of anxious palace people.

Shen Xiuyu was terrified by the decadent look on Zhou Nan's face, and he hurriedly sent Zhou Nan to the Imperial Hospital.

Physician Fu gave medicine and acupuncture, which woke Zhou Nan up.

"emperor,"

Physician Fu said to him earnestly, "The general's body is already exhausted, so now if there is any trouble, the general will fall down.

If you want the general to get better soon, then agree to the general's request.

Otherwise, if the general's heart knot can't be untied, he will die soon after day after day with burning anxiety.

You agreed to him, told him to have something to look forward to, and cheered him up with expensive tonics, so maybe the general can get better. "

There was a cloud over Shen Xiuyu's face, he slapped the table in front of him unwillingly, and then resigned himself to his fate and went back.

In the past, he humiliated Zhou Nan with no taboos and unscrupulousness, but now that he is completely ruined, he realizes it clearly.

In fact, he didn't want Zhou Nan to die, no matter how bad their relationship was, he wanted Zhou Nan to live!

Zhou Nan lay quietly on the bed, listening to their conversation.

Shen Xiuyu walked towards him quickly, and when he reached the bedside, Shen Xiuyu almost roughly pulled him up from the bed, threw himself on him and bit his lips fiercely.

It was almost an act of venting anger.When there was a trace of blood overflowing from his lips, Shen Xiuyu went to lick the wound on his lips again, as if they were two people.

Shen Xiuyu grabbed and rubbed him unwillingly, then hugged him fiercely, "I will send Jin Yuankai to protect you.

You can only serve as a military adviser this time, if you dare to fight for Jia Song, I will send you to prison!Did you hear that? ! "

"I understand, thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Nan's voice was very soft.Shen Xiuyu leaned close to his lips to hear what he said clearly.

Zhou Nan's body was too weak, and Shen Xiuyu didn't dare to torment him, so he sent him back to the General's Mansion and went to sleep alone in the bedroom.

It wasn't until Shen Xiuyu left that Zhou Nan opened his eyes, and he got up and went to the study.He went to meet the Huns this time, and he no longer planned to come back.

So he wrote a last letter to Lin Bo and the others.It's not that he wants to die, but that living is too hard.

The first ten years of his life were like being soaked in a jar of honey, but the last ten years were like being soaked in coptis.

The taste, only he himself knows.

He finished writing the last letter, sealed it with wax, put it in a wooden box, and called Xiao Ju in. "General, are you awake? How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort on your body?" Xiaoju asked with concern.

He smiled quietly, "Xiaoju, I'm a little hungry, you go and prepare some simple meals, and take a bottle of wine by the way, you and I, master and servant, have a drink."

"How is this possible? Xiaoju is a servant, how can she serve at the table? Besides, you are not in good health, how can you drink?"

Xiao Ju dissuaded, but Zhou Nan just smiled lightly, "Just this time, it's okay, just listen to me."

Xiaoju vaguely sensed that he was a bit unusual, so she agreed.

She prepared light side dishes, made some harmless rice wine, and served it to Zhou Nan.

"General, please drink some soup first."

As Xiaoju said, she filled a bowl of soup for Zhou Nan and pushed it in front of Zhou Nan.

In the past, Zhou Nan must have drank it, but today Zhou Nan poured wine for both of them as if he didn't see the bowl of soup.

"Xiaoju, you are almost at the age of marriage." Zhou Nan smiled, "Is there any man you like? I'll help you tell the emperor."

"General, why did you suddenly think of saying this..." Xiaoju said anxiously, "Is it because the general doesn't want Xiaoju to serve you?"

"Of course not. I just want to watch you get married with my own eyes. Forget it, this matter can't be forced. This gift to you is considered a dowry gift from the general's mansion."

As Zhou Nan said, he took out a beautifully carved sandalwood box and handed it to Xiaoju.

Xiaoju opened it and saw that inside was a piece of emerald green jade, as green as the clear water in the imperial garden, without any impurities.

This jade is priceless at first glance, Xiaoju is anxious, "General, what's wrong with you? Are you going to kill Xiaoju in a hurry?"

"It's nothing. You also know that the Huns are aggressively invading. My expedition this time is extremely dangerous, so I want to entrust you with my affairs before I leave. If I don't come back, you can have someone to rely on."

Xiaoju's eyes widened in astonishment, she stared at him for a while, and then burst into tears, "General, don't you want to live..."

"It's not that I don't want to live. It's that the world doesn't want me to live. You should be happy for me, Xiaoju, I can finally be free.

You sold these gold, silver and jewels, and you divided the money from the sale with Li Fu and the others, and went out of the palace to live a good life. "

He has made up his mind, even if the gods come down to earth, they can't stop his desire to die.

Xiaoju couldn't hold back, she fell on the table and cried bitterly.

Zhou Nan coaxed her patiently. In the end, both master and servant drank a lot and fell asleep on the table together.

On the second day, Zhou Nan went to court on time.

After Shen Xiuyu finished discussing with the ministers, Shen Xiuyu asked, "Dear dears, is there anything else you want to play?"

Zhou Nan took a step forward, "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

"What's the matter? Say."

"I want to impeach the Grand Master of the Diange, Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Mingdao colluded with the rich businessmen in central Beijing, accepted huge bribes, and leaked the scientific examination questions to the sons of these wealthy businessmen in advance, so that they could pass the scientific examination.

Successfully won the first place! "

He is about to die, and before he dies, he has to use his last remaining heat to burn up these court moths!

"Zhou Nan, what are you talking about? Your Majesty, I have never done this before, so please be discerning!" Zhou Mingdao shouted for injustice, yelling for Shen Xiuyu to make the decision for him.

"Zhou Nan, do you have evidence?" Shen Xiuyu frowned, he was keenly aware that Zhou Nan's aggressiveness was much stronger than before.And there is a tendency to kill the fish and break the net.

"The emperor asked the minister to take people to search around the university scholar's mansion, and they will see the evidence." Zhou Nan said calmly.

"What if no evidence can be found?" Shen Xiuyu asked back.

"The minister, let the emperor deal with it!" Zhou Nan Dayi said awe-inspiringly.
