Chapter 345 The Princess Visits Chu (Part 1)
Old Qin glanced at the silver in the box and immediately said, "Young master, this is too much. We are just a few servants, and you don't come here often, so there's no need for so much."
"It's alright. You've all been loyal for so long. I'm happy to give you a little silver."
The old guard and his two maids have managed the house very well over the years, and they always give me some money to spend whenever I come.
But on ordinary days, no matter how much Chu Chen asked, they couldn't bear to eat or wear more.
That's why Chu Chen had this idea on a whim to use this box of silver to test these three people.
If they are truly loyal, then perhaps they can be given more opportunities to do things in the future.
You know, money is the most tempting thing. The three of them were from poor families. Even if they divided this chest of silver among themselves, it would guarantee them a life of plenty.
Hearing Chu Chen's words, Lao Qin had no choice but to move the silver into the warehouse.
After doing all that, Chu Chen leisurely lay down on the rattan chair, preparing to close his eyes and rest.
A shrill voice rang out from outside: "The Emperor has arrived... The Princess has arrived..."
Chu Chen got impatient and climbed up from the rattan chair, wondering what day it was.
This is the third group of people in this half-morning.
But since the visitor was Zhou Shixun, he had no choice but to get up.
"Chu boy, what's wrong? Sleeping in so early in the morning? Are you really that bored?"
Zhou Shixun ignored the rules and walked in directly, speaking to Chu Chen, who had just gotten up.
"Um, Uncle Zhou, what brings you here!"
"Hehe, this little swallow has just returned to the royal family, so she came to pay her respects and express her gratitude to you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen looked behind Zhou Shixun.
A richly dressed young woman was standing behind Zhou Shixun. She was the so-called princess of the fake Japanese country, but now she should be called the Princess of Great Xia.
"Uncle Zhou, you're too kind. The princess is of noble birth; how could we allow her to come in person?"
"Chuwa, where did you learn such polite words? You're being too formal."
"It was Uncle Zhou who was being too polite first!"
"Haha, we're all family, so let's not be so formal. But I heard from Little Swallow that if it weren't for you, Japan would probably have used her to ask for a marriage proposal from Lao Ba."
After Zhou Shixun finished speaking, he pulled Zhou Yan out from behind him.
"Little Swallow, come quickly and thank your brother Chu Chen!"
"Why thank him? He's not the one who saved me." Zhou Yan took a step forward and looked at Zhou Shixun.
"Do not be rude. Although you are a princess of our Great Xia, he is also your sworn brother."
After listening, Zhou Shixun pretended to be angry and said...
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen wondered what was wrong with the princess. Could it be that even a peasant family in Japan could raise such a spoiled and willful young lady?
But Zhou Yan's next words made Chu Chen understand instantly.
"Father, it's not that I'm ignorant of etiquette, but the person who saved me was Brother Chu Yi!"
Chu Chen immediately understood what had happened. When they arrived on the island, it was Chu Yi who carried her back to the yacht.
So, this little girl remembered that boy. Could it be... Haha, that would be great! If Chu Yi could enter the royal family, it would be a tremendous blessing for him and for both of us.
"Brother Chu Yi?" Zhou Shixun asked Chu Chen after hearing this.
"Um, Uncle Zhou, it's like this. One of my underlings, named Chu Yi, did a great job in Japan this time. He blew up most of the Japanese imperial palace, and he was the one who rescued the princess from the island, so..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixun immediately burst into laughter: "That's right, that's right! This is how a man of Great Xia should be! Chu boy, go and call Chu Yi here, I want to meet him!"
"Uncle Zhou, he's in Linhai City right now and won't be able to come for a while."
"Oh, Linhai City? I heard you built a picturesque island there. When will you take your Uncle Zhou to see it?"
Zhou Shixun immediately became interested after hearing this, because he knew that Japan was currently raising troops after learning about its weak national strength.
The fastest way to get to Japan is through Linhai City. What a coincidence! Otherwise, I should go and explore first.
"Uncle Zhou can go anytime he wants!"
“Alright, in a few days, let’s go together and also visit that old bastard Murong Huai to see how he’s been all these years.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "Alright, now I'll have to get busy again."
At noon, Chu Chen personally cooked a table full of dishes.
Although the princess had just arrived from Japan and her eating habits were not quite the same, she couldn't resist Chu Chen's delicious food and ate with gusto.
After drinking, Chu Chen poured Zhou Shixun a cup of tea.
"Uncle Zhou, what do you plan to do about Japan?"
"Chuwazi, I was just about to tell you that I plan to mobilize a large army this month to take down Japan in one fell swoop."
"Moreover, as soon as I received news of your return, I sent someone to Murong Huai to tell him to speed up the shipbuilding so that we can set sail as soon as Zheng Jing's weapons are ready."
"Uncle Zhou, this trip to Linhai was intentional!"
Chu Chen looked at Zhou Shixun with a smile and said.
"Haha, that's right, but you understand, I am not only the emperor of Great Xia, but also a father. How could I not see through Xiao Yanzi's thoughts? As for Chu Yi, we should at least go and see him. It's just a matter of convenience."
Zhou Shixun said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Alright, since Uncle Zhou is going to attack Japan, I'll give you another surprise then!"
When Chu Chen saw that Zhou Shixun was going to attack Japan, he couldn't help but think of the coast guard ship in his space.
I wonder if the 76mm naval guns, two 30mm secondary guns, and the heavy machine gun on the ship will be able to wipe out the entire Japanese navy.
When Zhou Shixun heard that Chu Chen was going to give him a surprise, his eyes lit up instantly: "Chu boy, what surprise?"
"Um. Uncle Zhou, if you tell people about this surprise, is it still a surprise?"
After saying that, Chu Chen started brewing tea again.
But Zhou Shixun had a feeling that since Chu Chen had said that, attacking Japan this time would be a very easy thing.
After seeing Zhou Shixun and his group off, Chu Chen took out his walkie-talkie and sent a message to Chu Yi.
The gist of it is that the new princess has taken a liking to him, and he should make good preparations.
After receiving the message, Chu Yi fell into deep thought. What was going on? The princess had taken a liking to him.
What should I do then? If I refuse, His Majesty will kill me. Will the young master protect me?
If he doesn't refuse, wouldn't he have to become a prince consort and spend his whole life with this one woman?
After thinking for a long time, Chu Yi still couldn't come up with a good solution.
"Since we can't resist, we might as well enjoy it."
"While there's still time, finish what you haven't done yet."
After Chu Yi finished speaking, he steered the small boat to Linhai City.
Without hesitation, I stepped through the gates of Linhai Red Romance...
