Chapter 766 - 766 Decision
766 Decision
Su Xiaoling was very gentle. She took a handkerchief and gently wiped the saliva mark on Zhou Heng’s cheek.
“Have you had lunch?”
Su Xiaoling asked Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng shook his head. “Not yet. Have you eaten?”!!
Su Xiaoling also shook her head. She was feeding the children and was not hungry yet, so she did call for lunch. When her two daughters were full later, she would let Dou Fu and Hui Xiang watch them go out to the garden to play. At that time, she could eat.
Ever since the two girls started eating, her meals had changed times.
She had personally made the food for the two girls without anyone else’s help. She only trusted Dou Fu and Hui Xiang in the palace. No matter how well the other palace maids did, they could not be completely trusted by her.
“Then I’ll go with you.”
Zhou Heng smiled. Zhou Wei and Zhou Xuan were not full yet.
Zhou Heng also helped feed them.
The two little girls treated the two spoons the same and ate one by one.
Zhou Wei was more reserved. The little girl also liked to be pampered by her father, but she was shy.
His sister, Zhou Xuan, was different. As she ate, she praised with sparkling eyes, “Father is awesome—amazing, Xuanxuan loves Father.”
The little girl did not know how to speak much yet, but her eyes were pure and innocent. Just looking at her made one feel sweet.
Zhou Heng kept smiling.
Su Xiaoling watched this scene gently, feeling sweet.
After the two daughters were full, Zhou Heng wiped their mouths. Zhou Wei kissed Zhou Heng shyly.
Zhou Xuan immediately imitated him and kissed him. Then, she hugged Zhou Wei and kissed her. Zhou Xuan immediately pointed outside and shouted in a childish voice, “Play, play.”
Dou Fu and Hui Xiang pursed their lips and went forward to bring Zhou Wei and Zhou Xuan out to the garden to play.
The two little girls were carried out and the hall fell silent.
Zhou Heng instructed the dishes to be delivered and soon, the palace servants sent them over.
Su Xiaoling and Zhou Heng sat together and ate. Zhou Heng picked up a piece of fried fish for Su Xiaoling and said, “Xiaoling, have you heard of the legend of the merpeople?”
Su Xiaoling smiled. “The kind written in the book? Merpeople with human heads and fish bodies have been written in the book. They cry like pearls. They have an incomparable singing voice.”
Zhou Heng also smiled. “The merpeople in the storybook are like this, but in reality, there really is a merpeople race, which is the fish people. Their appearance is similar to the ones in the storybook. We won’t know the details until we see them in a while.”
Su Xiaoling was surprised. She thought Zhou Heng was joking.
However, when she looked over, Zhou Heng’s expression was serious and he did not look like he was joking at all.
Zhou Heng continued, “Xiaoling, Ah Zhi and the others met the merpeople and fish people in Qinghai. Our two races decided to form an alliance and exchange knowledge. The merpeople have a mystic technique, the Spatial Technique. After learning it, you can teleport. It’s especially powerful.”
Su Xiaoling calmed down and waited quietly for Zhou Heng to continue.
“When Ah Zhi’s guards return in two days, there will be a clearer explanation. I’ll be free during this period of time and can accompany you well. When the alliance is settled, I’ll be busy. I might be especially busy. I’ll have to trouble you.”
Zhou Heng’s expression was gentle. He had never hidden anything from Su Xiaoling. They were husband and wife and were one, so there was nothing to hide.
He wanted Su Xiaoling to know why he was so busy.
Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded. “Brother Heng, just go ahead. I’ll take good care of Xiaowei and Xiaoxuan.”
Su Xiaoling saw that the chicken soup was not bad and got up to scoop a bowl for Zhou Heng.
The couple looked at each other and smiled. The food was delicious, and so was the lover sitting opposite.

When Jin Yi and Yin Yi returned to the capital, they immediately met the emperor, Zhou Zhao.
The two of them knelt on one knee and bowed. “Greetings, emperor.”
“Get up quickly. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Tell me quickly.”
Zhou Zhao said as he raised his hand. He even turned around and instructed the palace servant, “Go and invite the Crown Prince over.”
He couldn’t wait any longer.
Yin Yi reported in detail that they had gone out to sea to catch the big Kun until the mysterious light appeared.
Zhou Zhao pondered for a moment and frowned. “So now, Ah Zhi and the Fourth Miss of the Su family are both imprisoned with the fish people?”
“If we don’t form an alliance, they won’t survive.”
Zhou Zhao frowned and immediately clenched the sculpture on the chair tightly.
Threats. An emperor hated threats the most.
Zhou Heng arrived very quickly. Yin Yi glanced at Jin Yi, who took over and told Zhou Heng what had happened.
Zhou Heng only frowned slightly when he heard this. He quickly looked at Zhou Zhao and said, “Father, forming an alliance is the most important thing now. Let’s talk about the future in the future.”
When Zhou Zhi and the others captured the big Kun, they didn’t know that the big Kun was from a foreign land. It was impossible for the two races to trust each other so easily.
It was impossible for Zhou Zhi and the others to be released before the alliance was formed.
Zhou Zhao nodded. “I’ll leave this matter to you. If you need anything, tell the Ministry of Revenue. If you need anything, you can mobilize the Ministry of War.”
Didn’t the fish people want to learn the wisdom of humans? Then let them learn well. There was a saying among humans that said, “Those who are not in our race will be killed.”
Alliances were meant for each side to take what they needed. When they became stronger, they would tear up the alliance without hesitation.
Zhou Heng accepted the order and quickly went back to start preparing.
The palace prepared for the fish people had been set up and construction had begun. He wanted to follow them to Qinghai and negotiate with the fish people before bringing them to the capital.
Zhou Heng was leaving the capital, so Su Xiaoling prepared some medicine for him.
After leaving the capital, they rushed to Qinghai without stopping. Before they arrived, the messenger pigeon would arrive first.

On the 27th of April, a messenger pigeon flew down from the sky and landed in the hands of the man in black on the deck.
Jin Er had been at sea. After receiving the messenger pigeon, he found the big Kun and sent a message.
As the envoy, An Xiaoou personally took the letter. She did not recognize many words. After she unfolded it, she returned it to Jin Er and said seriously, “Read it to me.”
An Xiaoou spoke very slowly. She already had some characteristics of the fish people had on her. Even the color of her pupils was slowly turning blue.
Jin Er took the letter and said, “It says that after a serious discussion between the emperor and the Crown Prince, it has been decided that the two races will form an alliance. The Crown Prince will personally come to negotiate this matter. The capital has already begun to build a palace. When the fish people reach the capital, they can move in. The Crown Prince came this time to ask the king of the fish race what habits the fish people have in their daily lives.”
Jin Er handed the letter to An Xiaoou and said, “The Crown Prince is already on his way. He should arrive in town tomorrow. He’ll be here in a few days.”
An Xiaoou was very vigilant, afraid that the information was fake.
She took the letter and looked at Jin Er. “I’ll tell the Wisdom King that.”
With that, she leaned down and sank into the sea with the big Kun in her arms.
These few days were also very torturous for the fish people. After An Xiaoou and Hai Ming returned to the fish people, they immediately reported it to the old king.
After the final discussion, the old king summoned Zhou Zhi and the others to meet him again. The moment they met, Zhou Zhi cupped his hands and nodded slightly. Then, he said slowly, “The king has summoned us. Did the Zhou Dynasty send news?”
