Chapter 105: Staying Out of the Matter (1)
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Cheng, Shan Zhen and Xue Han were discussing the changes in the situation over the past two months. During this time, a special person came, which shocked Zhou Cheng and the other three.
"Is it necessary to be so surprised to see me?"
Zhou Yan's cold voice spread out, sounding so real and yet unconvincing.
"When... did you come back?"
Zhou Cheng came back to his senses from the shock and asked. Shan Zhen and Xue Han stood silently by. Like Zhou Cheng, they were also very surprised by Zhou Yan's appearance.
"Just arrived, what? Not welcome?"
Even when facing Zhou Cheng, Zhou Yan's tone and attitude were very rude. It was like when two enemies met and they were extremely jealous of each other . It was completely impossible to tell that they were brothers.
"How could that be? I just heard that you were in [Chaoguan], but I didn't expect you to come back suddenly."
Zhou Yan did not answer, firstly because he felt it was unnecessary, and secondly because he did not want to explain anything; Zhou Cheng saw Zhou Yan's attitude and could only feel helpless.
"What's the matter with coming back ?"
Since Zhou Yan didn't want to talk, Zhou Cheng didn't force him and had to change the subject.
Zhou Cheng did not answer, but glanced at Shan Zhen and Xue Han standing beside him, and finally set his eyes on Zhou Cheng, and said coldly: "I don't mind waiting for you to finish your words."
"In that case, you should listen to it too."
Without caring about Zhou Yan's attitude, Zhou Cheng spoke. Zhou Yan shrugged disdainfully but did not object.
Seeing that Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan had reached a consensus, Xue Han and Shan Zhen told them all the information they knew without reservation. Zhou Cheng would occasionally add his own opinions and analysis, while Zhou Yan sat aside and listened like an outsider.
"In short, whether it is a coincidence or not, or for some other reason, the chaotic situation in the world is shrinking."
Xue Han summarized what he had said. It was obviously something to be happy about, but the imperial study felt unprecedentedly heavy.
silence.
There is nothing but silence.
Because everyone is feeling very heavy.
Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen were both lost in their own thoughts. Xue Han also fell into the same contemplation after a light sigh. The quieter and calmer it was, the more it could blind everyone's eyes. It was like a precursor to a storm, but how violent the storm would be was always unpredictable.
However, just as Zhou Cheng, Shan Zhen and Xue Han were lost in thought...
"Is it over?"
Zhou Yan, who had remained silent from the beginning, finally spoke a unique voice that was neither loud nor soft, which instantly made the three people who were in deep thought react. The three people, with six pairs of glasses, all stared at Zhou Yan; perhaps Zhou Yan had never participated in their discussion and did not know their thinking mode, but this did not mean that Zhou Yan's ability could not be ignored. Silence did not mean that Zhou Yan could not intervene. Often, the person who spoke last would say something shocking, so Zhou Cheng and the others were probably waiting for Zhou Yan's next words with this in mind.
"From what you said, it's nothing more than doubting whether it's true or false, or whether there's a conspiracy behind it, or what the reaction will be after the conspiracy succeeds?"
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Yan opened his mouth, the three of them felt a tremor in their hearts for no reason, but no one doubted it. It seemed that even if Zhou Yan knew all this, it was natural. Zhou Cheng and the others could still accept it, but what the three of them heard was clearly the hidden meaning of Zhou Yan's words. The three of them thought at the same time that Zhou Yan might have grasped information that they didn't know.
"Instead of guessing here and adding to your own mental stress, actual action should be more relaxing, right?"
It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but once he opened his mouth, it was full of hidden meanings. Zhou Cheng, Shan Zhen and Xue Han were the same. They all had to guess the inexplicable hidden meanings. They were used to their own way of thinking, and therefore were confused by the words of Zhou Yan, who had just intervened and was participating for the first time. No matter how Zhou Cheng and the other two usually solved various problems, they were all confused by Zhou Yan's words.
Seeing the confusion on Zhou Cheng's and the other three's faces, Zhou Yan couldn't help but snicker : "You look confused and bewildered. You probably don't know what I'm talking about, right? Are my words really that hard to understand? Or did I say something wrong? If we can just solve the fundamental problem, is there any need for you to stand here and make random guesses?"
After Zhou Yan glanced at the three people coldly, he withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at them. He seemed a little disappointed?
"What do you know?"
As if he understood the implication of Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Cheng tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked. At this point, no matter how stupid Zhou Cheng was, he could tell that Zhou Yan was mocking them. This was intolerable. Although he was very happy about Zhou Yan's intervention, his tolerance and forgiveness were still limited. Of course, he would be angry when Zhou Yan looked down on him again and again.
Ignoring Zhou Cheng's suppressed anger, Zhou Yan looked over coldly, staring directly into Zhou Cheng's eyes and said: "Brother, you don't know to stay out of this, do you?"
Zhou Cheng was stunned by Zhou Yan's sudden reaction, not because of his attitude and tone, but the content of his words. The previous implication became simple and clear. The sudden change made Zhou Cheng unable to recover for a while, but he knew what Zhou Yan was talking about, and he was sure that Zhou Yan really had some information that he didn't know.
"I am going to Zhao as an envoy of Zhou."
"you--"
Before he had finished digesting the previous sentence, Zhou Cheng once again felt passive and furious about Zhou Yan's words, because he felt that Zhou Yan was alienated from him, not taking him seriously, and acting arbitrarily; however, when Zhou Yan mentioned going to Zhao State, Zhou Cheng felt that his patience had reached its limit, but he was still trying his best to endure it...
