Chapter 1071: Night Talk

How many spring breezes have passed.

Liu Zheng has already forgotten.

The exhaustion of the recent period seems not to have affected his state.

He is tired.

Truly a bit tired.

His mind is filled with too many things; since leaving Liangzhou, he has wanted to return countless times... but one thing after another keeps coming up, and he has never been able to go back. From Jinghua to Liaodong, and from Liaodong to the Li Dynasty, this has taken up over a year of his time.

And now...

In the Liaodong Economic Special Zone, the Industrial Revolution has already begun to enter an accelerated phase. The Liaodong Economic Special Zone is about to take off, directly impacting the Li Dynasty... Regarding the Li Dynasty, Liu Zheng naturally has not been stingy; both sides have signed some contracts, and the Li Dynasty's advanced constitutional monarchy is more suitable for the development of the Industrial Revolution. And now, what Liaodong faces is the invasion of Tsarist Russia...

Furthermore.

In Nanyang, contact has also been made with Xie Fang, and Australia was taken at the first opportunity... This means that, in all likelihood, they will face a powerful counterattack from Britain in the coming time.

The Suez Canal...

This canal means even more: the power of Longyan will truly enter the core regions of Europe for the first time.

The Mediterranean Sea!

Will those great powers of Europe feel wary?

Not to mention the situation within the country...

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng feels even more exhausted.

"Hmm..."

Exhausted after his exertions, he rests his head against Zheng Yueru's jade-like body...

Zheng Yueru's face is still flushed; this breathtaking process has finally allowed her to complete the transformation of her life.

"Are you tired?"

Like a mother, she strokes Liu Zheng's head with her hand and asks softly.

"Hmm..."

Liu Zheng nods.

The stubble that has just sprouted brings an unusual sensation to Zheng Yueru as he nods, and her pretty face turns red instantly.

This overbearing female CEO, in such a shy state, is likely something no one else will ever see in this lifetime.

At this moment, the radiance emanating from her face is simply like the most beautiful color in this world.

"We are both tired..."

Zheng Yuru laughs softly.

Liu Zheng also moves his head: "It has been hard on you."

Zheng Yuru then snorts coldly; she, who is usually capable and full of presence, is now entirely in that daughterly manner, incredibly charming and naive: "It would be better if you caused me less trouble every day. Yintan City is basically spending more than it earns... but for now, it is still considered stable."

Liu Zheng is startled.

Spending more than it earns...

Upon reflection, he feels it is normal. The scope he has spread out is indeed a bit too large.

Zheng Yueru enjoys being with Liu Zheng, so she expresses all her charm and tenderness to him, smiles, and says: "But once the tea harvest comes in this year, the situation will be better. Besides, we have discovered a large salt mine in Chuan Shu, and the equipment and personnel have already gone over... Oh, right!"

She then cheers like a child: "Ling Chen and the others also discovered a gold mine in Central Asia..."

"And over in Liaodong..."

As she speaks, her cheerful and jumping appearance makes Liu Zheng watch her with a smile, his chin resting on his hand.

Zheng Yueru is like a lover sharing her achievements, but after a while, she feels something is wrong, and she glares at Liu Zheng with a flushed face: "Why are you looking at me like that!"

Liu Zheng says softly: "It really has been hard on you..."

Zheng Yueru chuckles, shakes her head, and says: "I can only handle the finances for you... Liu Zheng..."

"Hmm?"

Zheng Yueru suddenly looks at Liu Zheng seriously and asks: "What exactly... are you thinking..."

Liu Zheng

is stunned by the question.

What is he thinking?

Soon, he knows the content of Zheng Yueru's question. What is he thinking? Naturally, it is about the current situation in Longyan. Regarding the current circumstances, basically anyone in the core political circle can probably guess that something must have happened to Xie Tianyao... Although it cannot be confirmed, the speculation is already quite close.

Therefore.

Naturally, rumors have spread...

Is this Longyan about to change?

Will it really welcome a Female Emperor, Xie Chan?

If so, wouldn't Liangzhou directly rise to power? In the future, will the world and the empire be decided by the Xie Family, or by this Liu Family? After all, the marriage between Liu Zheng and Xie Chan was promised by Xie Tianyao, and their marriage is only a matter of time. Looking at the current situation, Liu Zheng is already unrivaled in influence; once Xie Chan ascends the throne, wouldn't that mean this Longyan will fall into the hands of the Liu father and son?

This possibility is the greatest.

So it has made people panic.

Liu Zheng laughs heartily and looks at Zheng Yueru with tender eyes: "So my sister Yue Ru knew that Jinghua was about to be in chaos, and couldn't help but run to Jinghua?"

"You..."

Zheng Yueru's face turns red, and she wishes she could bite Liu Zheng. The fact that she is older than Liu Zheng has always been a pain in her heart, but after this night, this barrier has completely disappeared.

"Hahahaha... stop, stop, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore..."

The two of them play around on the bed, and finally, Liu Zheng takes the initiative, leaving Zheng Yueru, with her jade body exposed, feeling weak all over and her eyes blurred.

Liu Zheng also can't take it anymore, and he laughs: "What did the teacher say?"

Zheng Yueru rolls her eyes at Liu Zheng; since it is midsummer, she doesn't bother with a quilt and lies there as if resigned to her fate: "The teacher said, if you, young master, have any plans, act as soon as possible to avoid long delays."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

No wonder everyone in the world would think that he intends to seize the world.

Even his own teacher thinks so.

However...

He truly does not want to.

He glanced at Zheng Yueru: "What does Sister Yue Ru think?"

Zheng Yueru looked at Liu Zheng with sparkling eyes: "I, on the contrary, think that the Viscount does not seem like someone who would covet the imperial throne."

"Oh?"

Liu Zheng was somewhat surprised.

In this era, could there really be someone who does not hold the imperial throne in high regard? This is the entire world, and it is the absolute peak a person can reach in their lifetime.

Zheng Yueru gave a rare, sweet smile: "The Viscount's ambition does not lie in Longyan, but in the world."

Liu Zheng was stunned, then burst into laughter: "What a great 'ambition lies in the world'! Sister Yue Ru understands me!"

"However, to repel foreign invaders, one must first pacify the interior; your husband here needs to get up!"

Liu Zheng laughed heartily as he already rolled over to put on his clothes.

"Ah?"

Zheng Yueru was stunned for a moment; caught off guard by Liu Zheng's use of "husband," she couldn't even manage to feel shy and asked curiously: "It is so late, where are you going?"

Seeing that Liu Zheng did not stop his movements, she disregarded her own state and began helping Liu Zheng put on his clothes.

Liu Zheng chuckled: "Naturally, to pacify the interior. Jiang Xuan alone cannot handle those Noble lords..."
