o consider, this was reasonable after all. After all, this cooperation concerned the national fortunes of both countries. The emperor of Jin Guo wouldn't act rashly and would definitely have to think...Chapter 1230: Surveillance

After hearing Zhou Changshou's words, King Ning relaxed slightly. At this moment, he was able to confirm that Zhou Changshou was still on his side, at least for now.

Although he had eased his worry somewhat, the King of Ning did not completely let Zhou Changshou off. He suddenly asked: "I never knew you had a younger brother before, so will there be an older brother in the future"

Zhou Changshou took a slight step back, raised his hands above his head, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "We are just two brothers, with no older brother above us."

King Ning smiled meaningfully and said, "In that case, so be it."

"If there is anything else Your Majesty doesn't know, Changshou, please don't hide it from me."

Zhou Changshou lowered his eyes and respectfully said, "My Lord, birds choose the best trees to inhabit. But for Changshou, a loyal subject serves only one master. My loyalty to you, my Lord, is evident to heaven and earth."

“Haha.” King Ning laughed and patted Zhou Changshou’s shoulder, saying, “Changshou, you flatter me. How could I not know your loyalty to this king Over these years, you have been the most attentive person by my side. Otherwise, how could I have given you command of the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry”

"What I just said was merely out of curiosity, don't take it to heart."

"Since Zhou Ping'an is your own younger brother, then from now on, you will be responsible for liaising with him regarding his investigations at the Dailing Mansion. Wang will no longer be involved."

Listen to the sound of the strings, and you will know the elegant meaning.

After listening to the King of Ning's words, Zhou Changshou had already understood.

He said very consciously, “Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. The things you entrusted to me, Changshou naturally wouldn't dare to neglect.”

"Since longevity needs to be in charge of contacting Zhou Ping'an, then Longevity has no time to spare for the matters concerning the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun. Your Highness should please withdraw your military authority."

King Ning's heart was filled with joy.

But on his face was a solemn expression as he said, "Your words seem to imply that this king suspects you. There is no need for such things. Just take care of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders."

Zhou Changshou said calmly, "Your Highness, it's not that Changshou is refusing or being stingy, but I truly am too busy."

"Matters should be handled one by one. It's better to wait until this matter is settled before considering managing the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry for the prince in the future. Right now, it's simply not suitable to manage both sides simultaneously, lest we fail to do well on either."

Words spoken, the step was also given.

When Ning Wang saw Zhou Changshou refusing again, he stopped acting and said, "Since that's the case, I'll do as you say."

Zhou Changshou bowed again and said, "Changshou, thank you for your Majesty's kindness."

"That's all."

King Ning bowed and said, "The night is deep, you should also go back to rest."

"A long and happy retirement."

Zhou Changshou spoke slowly and then retreated, leaving the study.

Once Zhou Changshou had shut the door, silence fell in the study.

King Ning sat behind his desk, closed his eyes in deep thought for a long time, raised his hand and tapped the desktop, and said to the empty study: "Keep an eye on these two brothers, and notify me immediately if there is any movement."

"Also, send someone to the capital city to inquire about recent developments and movements."

No one responded, but the window in the study opened and closed without warning, as if someone had gone out.

Meanwhile, in a side room of the prince's residence, Zhou Ping'an, after washing and changing his clothes, was about to go to sleep. His relaxed and natural demeanor seemed completely unaffected by what had happened earlier.Chapter 1315 Two Questions and Two Solutions
