Chapter 55: The Beauty Arrives

  I, Zhou Yu, on behalf of the Zhongyong Army of Huaxia, hereby solemnly promise to everyone: The Zhongyong Army will be a new Great Wall for our Huaxia nation, and we will be a group of Huaxia warriors who never stop fighting!

  The mighty China wants to invite the four directions to congratulate, so what kind of army can do it? The battles between our military and the French military, I believe everyone should have some knowledge!

  The French army is so vulnerable in front of our army, and the Qing dynasty is also weak and powerless in front of the French army. I ask you, esteemed officers, isn't it difficult for us to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Qing dynasty?

  What's the result? I think everyone has a number in mind. The Qing army is absolutely not our opponent, but why don't we go overthrow it immediately?

  Because our loyal and brave army does not want the compatriots of the Chinese nation to hurt each other, thus hurting the vitality of China and shaking the foundation of the country.

  We should strive for a peaceful evolution of the Qing dynasty's political power, only eliminating those who are a small number of rulers who have been cruel to our Chinese people during peacetime.

  Now, you have come here and it is absolutely impossible to go back. Even if you return to the Qing Dynasty, you will be regarded as deserters and eventually be exiled or beheaded.

  For the cause of democratic revolution of the Huaxia nation, I think all comrades present will make a most wise choice, that is to fight for the revival of Huaxia with our loyal and brave army, right?

  Under Zhou Yu's intimidation and temptation, the Fujian naval officers and soldiers who had been visited by Huang Feihong before were in an embarrassing situation, but they still made a wise choice to join the Zhongyong Army.

  After Zhou Yu arranged the Fujian naval officers, he relaxed his tense body and returned to his residence in Taiwan with a satisfied smile.

  His residence, following the old rules, is arranged in the naval base in Keelung, Taiwan. As for the scale, it can't be compared with the villa in Hawaii! After all, Hawaii is Zhou Yu's main lair!

  Even so, Zhou Yu's villa in Taiwan is about 500 square meters! If Taiwan was one of the bases of the Zhongyong Army at that time, it is very likely to be as exaggerated as Zhou Yu's villa in Hawaii.

  At the gate of the villa, Zhou Yu was greeted by two extreme little loli, after a daze, Zhou Yu thought of it vaguely, these two people were arranged by Hu Xueyan, under the name of 'taking care of Zhou Yu's daily life' - Hu Mei and Zhu Er.

  After the French invading army returned from Taiwan without success, Zhou Yu had already proposed to Hu Xueyan the idea of returning to Taiwan to handle things.

  Hu Xueyan readily agreed to Zhou Yu, but the cunning Hu Xueyan also proposed: let Hu Mei take care of Zhou Yu's life suggestion, for which Hu Xueyan even prepared a set of self-proclaimed reasons for considering Zhou Yu...

  Helpless Zhou Yu had to return to Taiwan with his family, and besides the two burdens Hu Mei and Zhu Er, there were also a dozen or so servants sent by Hu Xueyan.

  At that time, Zhou Yu was very depressed. He couldn't figure out whether his own thinking was too conservative or Hu Xueyan's thinking as an ancient person was too open-minded! It made him, a modern person, seem like an old antique, while Hu Xueyan, a genuine ancient person, seemed like a modern person with an open mind.

  After Zhou Yu and the others left, Hu Xueyan was secretly pleased with his own masterpiece. He immediately made a series of arrangements, promoting Hu Mei's biological mother to a higher position, changing her title from concubine to Madame Yu, making her status in the Hu Mansion equal to that of the first wife, Luo Si Niang.

  His main purpose in doing so is to make Hu Mei's status match Zhou Yu's future status, which can be described as a painstaking effort!

  Big Brother Zhou, you're back! Hu Mei, who was away from her hometown for the first time and living under the same roof as Zhou Yu, looked a bit out of place, her small face flushing red with shyness as she greeted Zhou Yu.

  Ah... oh! I'm back, Mei'er, are you used to living here? Isn't it too quiet?

  No! I feel pretty good, Brother Zhou hurry up and come in! The weather outside is quite cold, be careful not to catch a chill! As she spoke, she blew on her own hands with her small mouth.

  Zhou Yu estimated that Hu Mei had been standing outside the door waiting for him for a long time, and he scolded her with concern: "Don't wait for me again in the future, your body will be frozen to death in this cold weather!"

  Hu Mei felt a sudden sweetness in her heart, she didn't respond to Zhou Yu's words, but instead led the way into the house with a pleasant mood.

  For Hu Mei's concern, Zhou Yu felt quite warm and followed closely behind her into the house.

  Inside the house, Hu Mei and others had already lit several large heaters, making it very warm.

  After Zhou Yu sat down, Hu Mei hurriedly ran to the kitchen and brought out a large bowl of steaming hot ginseng soup for him.

  "Brother Zhou, come and drink this ginseng soup to dispel the cold. I specially stewed it for you, and it's been reheated several times already. If it's heated again, it won't taste good! As she spoke, she carefully carried the ginseng soup in front of Zhou Yu, her beautiful eyes secretly observing his reaction."

  Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile as he took a glance at the blushing Hu Mei, then accepted the bowl of soup and took a sip with his spoon.

  "Is this a sweet soup or a salt pot? So much salt has been added, is this a humanly drinkable soup?" Zhou Yu's eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

  Come on, Mei'er, have a taste. Zhou Yu said, using the ladle to scoop up some of the soup and bringing it to Hu Mei's mouth. However, a strange smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth.

  Hu Mei was extremely shy and wanted to decline Zhou Yu's kindness, but she couldn't bear to part with the sweet feeling in her heart. In the end, reason failed to conquer her reluctance, and with a faint blush, she took a small sip without even knowing what the soup tasted like.

  Zhou Yu looked at Hu Mei in astonishment, like a silly goose, he couldn't understand why the soup that was hard for him to swallow, Hu Mei drank with relish, had his taste buds gone bad?

  Just as the atmosphere between the two people was extremely ambiguous, an untimely noise rang out: The teacher is about to have Chinese New Year, do we have any tasks?

  Zhou Yu, who was still confused about the situation, glared at Zhang Long with a scowl. Liu Chengliang, Rong Huang, Liu Mingchuan and others also followed closely behind Zhang Long, entering in a file.

  Yah! Sorry about that, I've disturbed the two of you! Zhang Long saw that the atmosphere wasn't right and hastily apologized. He then prepared to make a quick exit.

  But Zhang Long, who had just turned around, was called back by Zhou Yu. What's going on with all of you?

  Zhang Long hurriedly made amends, "Nothing's wrong, it's just that we haven't seen you in a long time, Principal. Everyone misses you and wants to see if you've become even more handsome and stylish, haha!"

  But teacher! Who is this noble and beautiful lady? Can you introduce her to us?

  Hello everyone! Hu Mei has seen all the adults! Hu Mei, with a shy and lovely smile, greeted Zhang Long and others, and glanced at the soup bowls on the table.

  Zhou Yu understood his intention, so he took a deep breath, pretending to be very enjoyable, and drank the remaining ginseng soup with a "gulp...gulp" sound. He wiped his mouth and smiled at Hu Mei. In fact, his heart was suffering terribly, numbness had reached his grandma's bitter level.

  Little Hu Mei's face was red and swollen, only then did she feel satisfied and bid farewell to everyone before returning to her room.

  After Hu Mei left, Zhang Long, the great god of Bagua, asked Zhou Yu with a smile: Is the stunning beauty just now going to be our future teacher's wife?

  You talk too much, if you have something to say, don't spout nonsense here! You're all high-ranking generals, but every day you still can't get it together! Zhou Yu scolded Zhang Fei with a smile.

  Haha! Teacher, you also know that I'm a handsome and elegant student who's still unmarried. Isn't it to ask if the teacher's wife has any sisters or something, so I can end my glorious bachelor life?! Zhang Long said with a 'profile' of a very arrogant smile.

  Liu Chengliang couldn't take it anymore, and pushed Zhang Long, who was showing off, saying: "Alright, stop showing off now. Everyone knows you're not only very capable, but also super arrogant, to the point where the earth can barely contain you. However, this is a time for discussing serious matters, not the best moment for you to show off!"

  Rong Huang interrupted Liu Chengliang's joking and said to Zhou Yu: "Principal, according to the intelligence from Wang Wu in China, the Qing Dynasty has entrusted the director of the Chinese Maritime Customs Office in London, Englishman Jin Denggan, to fully handle the negotiations between the Qing Dynasty and France. It is estimated that there may be new news after the New Year."

  The Qing court also held a meeting to discuss this, according to the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department bought by Wang Wu, the Qing may accept France's harsh conditions, including executing high-ranking generals of the Chinese Brave Army and disbanding the Brave Army.

  In this regard, you don't have to worry. The Qing and France are powerless to take action against us, they can only gain an advantage in words, which is not worth worrying about.

  Now our most important things are: First, to hide our strength as much as possible; Second, to start infiltrating intelligence into Haiphong, Vietnam; Third, to arrange the non-mechanical transport ships I have arranged to be in place. Next year we will have a big action.

  Last year made every effort to let the army get a rest, for next year's military action to lay the groundwork.

  Additionally, Wu Tong in the Middle East was notified to dispatch white team members of the European Intelligence Corps to infiltrate Da Nang, Vietnam and wait for further action orders.

  Commander Tian Ergou's underwater ghost fleet, all gather at the North Vietnamese Navy Coastal Defense Base, waiting for further instructions.

  There are also Wong Fei-hung's Military Intelligence Agency Asian intelligence personnel who will gather at the North Vietnamese Haiphong naval base after the new year to await orders.

  Besides, with the New Year approaching, you, as the big housekeeper, should also distribute the welfare benefits of our Zhongyong Army.

  Now I'm just a poor and white, only you, the big housekeeper, have the most money. After sending out the money, it's good for everyone to spend a rich Spring Festival. Zhou Yu said so many things in one breath, happily stretched his waist, and sloppily leaned on his own invented sofa, waiting for everyone's reaction.

  Rong Huang smiled and said: Now you're really going to make a big move, I'm your housekeeper, but some things still need to follow procedures, right? But to be honest, in the past, even if you killed me, I wouldn't have believed that Principal, you are so rich, it's simply wealth that rivals a nation! Haha! As he spoke, Rong Huang couldn't help but laugh happily.

  Haha! I'm telling you, Dr. Rong, this is where you're wrong. I asked you to be the general manager of Zhongyong Army, but you can't go around broadcasting it everywhere! Aren't we supposed to keep a low profile and do things in a high-profile way? Zhou Yu said with a sly tone.
