C7 Joyous News

"Pleasure …" Happy News... "Quick, let's …" A horse rushed into the main road of Youuxi Town, shouting along the way.

Zuo Shaoqing was on the second floor of the Hui Yuan Tower when he heard the book. He was interrupted by this sound, and all the customers on the second floor rushed to the window. Even the storyteller on the stage also rushed over.

Zuo Shaoqing couldn't recall the big event that happened today. He cupped his hands to the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Bro, what's the good news? Why are everyone so happy?"

Before the middle-aged man could reply, another bearded man beside him muttered loudly, "Heh, that bookworm, did you lose your mind reading books?" How could you not know about such a big thing? "

"You really are a bookworm who doesn't hear anything from outside the window. Do you know about the war between our Great Yang and Beidi?"

When Zuo Shaoqing heard the words "Beidi", he suddenly remembered. That's right, this year was the year Tianfeng and Zhaoyuan went overboard. It was also the year where Di Kingdom, which had been harassing Great Yang border in the north, was beaten to a pulp.

It was also during this year that the old emperor passed away and a new round of struggles for the throne began. Zuo Shaoqing also knew that the last person to ascend the throne was Zhan Yuanfeng, who had just been conferred the title of Crown Prince.

This battle for the throne was equally intense, with countless deaths and injuries. After Zhan Yuanfeng ascended the throne, the only surviving princes were the intoxicated fourth prince and the young seventh prince.

Zhan Yuanfeng won with great difficulty. In the end, he was only able to successfully ascend to the throne with the support of Lu Zheng, who returned victoriously from the border.

Zuo Shaoqing was a little absent-minded as he listened to the praises from everyone towards the Duke of Lu.

"Young Eunuch Lu is truly the reincarnation of a war god. It would be more worthwhile letting him go than letting him be the husband."

"That's right, the Duke of Lu's household has been serving as generals for generations, protecting my Great Yang for hundreds of years. This is truly my Great Yang's blessing and the blessing of my people."

"I heard that young master went to the battlefield at the age of 11 and led three armies at the age of 13. Now that it's only been a few years, he's actually able to beat Beidi so much that he can't even fight back."

"If I had to say, these were all forced out. Back then, when my husband was injured and fell from his horse, he fell so low that his body became paralyzed. As his son, he had no choice but to go out and fight in place of his father. The Great Ancestor had once given a decree that the military power of the Great Yang could only be held in the hands of the Imperial Family and Duke Zhen Manor.

"I've heard that more than half of the officials in the imperial court are afraid of the Residence of the Duke of Guo. They've even been fooling His Majesty with the way they've done their deeds. Tch, they're just a bunch of elm lumps who only know how to throw books."

"He should be harboring malicious intentions!"

"Exactly! If they have the guts, they can try fighting in the battlefield! "

"Heh, you want to send a group of scholars who only know how to read and write? He probably wouldn't even be able to lift his blade? "Haha …"

Everyone laughed and looked at Zuo Shaoqing with disdain.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled bitterly to himself. His Youuxi Town was located in the southeast, and was not affected by the flames of war.

Just thinking about how the man that was reputed as the God of War would become his brother-in-law in one year, Zuo Shaoqing's temples started throbbing.

When the old emperor was in power, no one would dare to plead for Zuo's Mansion. But once the old emperor had gone, the new emperor, on Lu Zheng's account, had tacitly approved of Zuo Family's actions. In his opinion, a small Zuo Family was not enough to cause a ruckus.

Everyone in Zuo Family thought that Lu Zheng would recommend the disciples of Zuo Family as officials for the sake of the marriage engagement, but in reality, he didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and had never admitted that he was a relative of Zuo Family in front of everyone.

Then why is Lu Zheng married to Zuo's Mansion?

Some people said that her husband had made a good verbal agreement with Tutor Zuo, others said that Tutor Zuo had helped the Duke's Mansion, and there were also people who said that Master Duke had taken a fancy to Miss Zuo, who had good looks.

Even the entire Zuo Family thought so, but Zuo Shaoqing knew that this was far from the truth.

This was what Jiang Che had told him. His husband had been Tutor Zuo's student before, and Tutor Zuo did have the thought of marrying into the Duke's family. However, no matter how glorious his Zuo's Mansion was, it wasn't as precious as the Duke's family, so he gave up on thinking about it.

As for why would Lu Zheng want to marry a Zuo Family girl? Jiang Che was drunk at the time, so Zuo Shaoqing asked a few more questions out of curiosity. He didn't expect the answer to be: "Do you think I'm the only good guy in this court? I have married three wives and four concubines, and have given birth to several fat kids. This Master Lu, haha, much better than me, has married a woman from a small family, and has been married for several years without even touching his wife's door. What a joke, Zuo Family thinks he's a good wife, but how could he know that Master Lu's heart is yearning for our Minister Yuan …

However, it was not as if Zuo's Mansion had not received any benefits. If not for this family, how would Zuo Family dare to step foot into the capital? "Even if Zuo Shaoyan gave me ten more men, I wouldn't dare to open the back door for him. However, this business is too worth it. A mere official with the seventh grade sesame seed in exchange for a beautiful man like Qingqing, it's too worth it …"

He felt that he was not the only one being abandoned. Unfortunately, he later found out that although Zuo Shuhui wasn't able to get the favor of Master Lu, she was actually a first class Wife of State Duke. Her beauty was limitless, and she was not someone who couldn't sleep alone.

In any case, Lu Zheng was rarely at home in such a large Mansion, and he never entered her yard. She should have been able to live a healthier life.

Zuo Shaoqing did not know that within a few days after his death, Lu Zheng had given up Zuo Shuhui for being a "adulterer". Not long after, Miss Zuo, who had nowhere to go, committed suicide by poisoning.

Everyone was asking who the small attack was, it wasn't Jiang Che.

"Fighting for a Man" was scheduled for next month's competition! (3) *
