765 Talk
They watched An Xiaoou and the big Kun leave.
Jin Si explained to Jin Er and the others.
A few years ago, it would have been difficult to explain, but now, everyone understood after a moment of surprise.
Jin Er quickly made arrangements. There had to be someone on the surface of the sea.
They looked at Old Wu, who said calmly, “I’ll stay on the ship. You have your own ways. It shouldn’t take long for the news to come back, right?”
He could afford to wait for the next few days.
They arranged for Old Wu to rest in the cabin.
Jin Er and the others began to move.
A portion of them had to return to the capital personally. The messenger pigeons were the fastest way to send news, so the news would reach the capital first.
The alliance between the two dynasties naturally had to be reported to the emperor.
His master was still with the fish people, so the sooner the better.
Old Wu borrowed a messenger pigeon from Jin Si. He had also sent some news. His precious disciple was still with the fish people. There had to be no accidents in this alliance between the two races.
After a few days with the fish people, it was already late April. Seeing the messenger pigeon fly into the clouds, Old Wu’s heart tightened. His close friend and his precious disciple were all in that dilapidated place with the fish people. He only wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
After this matter was over, his precious disciple would be able to train herself without distractions and have a chance to escape the pain of love.
‘Old Niu, oh Old Niu, your divination before your death killed me.’
‘Damn girl, stupid girl, I’m so worried.’
Although he was cursing in his heart, Old Wu was still sincerely praying for his disciple and close friend to return safely.

April 23rd, in the capital.
The small messenger pigeon flew past mountains and rivers. After taking off from the sea for two days, it finally flew into the majestic palace gate.
Seeing the messenger pigeon, a palace servant took the letter tube on the messenger pigeon’s leg and reported it.
Emperor Zhou Zhao took the letter from the palace servant and opened it. He took out the letter inside and slowly unfolded it. After reading it, his eyes widened and he stood up immediately. He ordered excitedly and with a trembling voice, “Quick, quickly call the Crown Prince over.”
The fish people had human heads and fish bodies, they were mermen.
Spatial Technique, teleportation, shrinking the ground to an inch.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty had such a technique, why would they worry about not becoming stronger?
Why would the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty worry about being rich?
Zhou Zhao was very excited and kept pacing back and forth in front of the hall. At this moment, because he was too excited, he could not sit down quietly.
He read the small letter repeatedly and pondered the information inside.
Zhou Heng arrived quickly. His expression was calm. After entering, he bowed first. “Greetings, Father.”
“Heng’er, come and see.”
Zhou Zhao looked at his eldest son, who was getting calmer and calmer, and was very satisfied. Zhou Heng was becoming more and more like an emperor.
Zhou Heng walked over and took the letter from Zhou Zhao to read.
It was Zhou Zhi’s handwriting.
There were merpeople in the depths of Qinghai, they had the heads of humans and the bodies of fish. They had the Spatial Technique to exchange for knowledge of astronomy and geography with our dynasty.
Zhou Heng was shocked, but he did not show it on his face. After reading it, he handed the letter back to Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao took it and said with a smile, “Heng’er, what do you think?”
Zhou Heng said seriously, “Father, I have the same thoughts as my brother. The two races should form an alliance and improve together.”
The races in the foreign land were mermen. They called themselves the fish people. They had spells and divine arts. After the two races formed an alliance, they could exchange knowledge. This was very tempting.
Many students were learning about human civilization. It didn’t matter if there were additional fish people who wanted to learn.
The fish people learned from the humans, and the humans also learned from the fish people and took what they needed.
“Ah Zhi’s secret guards will be back in a few days. When the time comes, we’ll ask them thoroughly what’s going on. You have to keep your mouth shut for the time being. It’s not appropriate to spread this matter. It’s said that merpeople can turn into humans when they go ashore. This fish clan looks no different from the merpeople. I wonder if they can do it. And our people won’t have any gills when they go to the bottom of the sea. How can they be as free as fish?”
Zhou Zhao understood. After the two races formed an alliance, there were still many things to worry about in the future.
Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said, “Father, you’re thinking too much. This news was sent by Ah Zhi. He must know a lot. There definitely won’t be a mistake.”
Zhou Zhi’s intelligence and strategies were superior to ordinary people. When he suggested an alliance, there would be no mistakes.
Zhou Zhao smiled in relief. “Is Ah Zhi that powerful in your heart?”
In the past two years, the relationship between the two brothers had become better. As a father, Zhou Zhao felt very gratified. They were twins and were very close when they were in their mother’s womb. Be it the eldest son or second son, they actually both had the aura of an emperor.
One of them was just not in the mood to fight.
In Zhou Zhao’s heart, Zhou Zhi was better at using the emperor’s checks and balances than Zhou Heng.
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhi’s legs were crippled, preventing him from competing. The twin brothers had different prophecies. After all, fate made fools of people.
Zhou Heng nodded gently and said, “Yes, Ah Zhi is very powerful.”
Zhou Heng admired Zhou Zhi from the bottom of his heart. In the past few years, he understood how dangerous the capital was. It was Zhou Zhi’s extraordinary ability to be able to control it so easily. Be it the human heart or human nature, it was not easy to control. Moreover, he was still so young at that time.
“I’m very glad that you brothers are like this. Alright, you’ll be busy for a long time. Go back soon and accompany your crown prince consort well. Also, spend more time with the two Princesses. When you’re busy in the future, the two little girls will probably have already fallen asleep when you are free. When they’re awake, you won’t have time to look at them, so it’ll be rare to hear them call you Father.”
Zhou Zhao said gently. Thinking of his cute granddaughters, he couldn’t stop smiling.
Zhou Heng’s expression softened. He nodded and replied, “Alright, Father, don’t be too tired. I’ll take my leave first.”
Zhou Heng retreated.
He was already the Crown Prince now. He was usually busy with work and sometimes could not see his wife and daughter for three to five days in a row.
From what his father said, he wanted to leave the alliance with the merpeople to him. Before that, he would have some free time. When he was really busy, he did not know how busy he would be.
His two daughters were growing up day by day. Zhou Heng’s heart softened as he thought about it. In that case, he would accompany his children well during this period of time.
He took the time to bring Su Xiaoling out of the palace to shop. While relaxing, he chose a few places to use as a place to settle down after the merfolk arrived.
Zhou Heng returned to the bedroom. Su Xiaoling and the palace maids were feeding the two little girls. The two little girls, who were already a year old, could walk. They sat on the wooden horse chair and swayed happily.
When they saw Zhou Heng, the two of them got down from their chairs and ran towards him for a hug. They even called out to him in a childish voice, “Father—hug.”
Zhou Heng squatted down and carried them one by one. The two girls immediately hugged Zhou Heng’s neck and kissed his cheek at the same time.
“Xuanxuan and Weiwei, were you obedient? Did you listen to your mother?” Zhou Heng smiled and hugged his two daughters. His heart felt warm. He looked at Su Xiaoling and smiled as he walked towards her.
