Throne of Vientiane Civilization

During his time away, except for those particularly important and urgent documents that would be sent to him by messengers all the way, there were also a lot of other documents that needed him to deal with.

This also made Zhou Xu, who had just returned to the Imperial Palace in Xianyang City, immediately throw himself into work without much rest.

The work that had been piled up for a long time was obviously not something that Zhou Xu could easily finish in a day or two when he came back, let alone new documents being delivered every day.

In Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu was busy until dark.

As for Huo Qubing, considering his physical condition, Zhou Xu directly sent him back to rest.

After approving another document, Zhou Xu twisted his stiff neck and saw Hilke walking in with a cup of soup.

Looking at the cup of soup, Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows, and Hilke suddenly understood and said softly...

"This chicken soup was sent by Imperial Concubine De."

Zhou Xu's Qinzheng Palace was a major office area, and no outsiders were allowed to enter and exit at will. The maid who came to deliver soup was naturally blocked outside.

Now looking at the chicken soup, Zhou Xu pointed to the table next to him.

"Put it aside."

At this moment, there were already two cups of soup on the table next to it. Adding this cup, there were exactly three cups.

After nightfall, his concubines, whom he had not seen for a month, also ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare soup and bring it over, and they wanted to know where he would rest tonight.

Zhou Xu had already informed Silke about this, and his answer was always that he was busy with government affairs recently and rested in the Qinzheng Hall.

Although he and his three concubines have not seen each other for a month, whether he is cold-blooded or callous, Zhou Xu does not miss them much, and it is far less important than the work in front of him.

When he took in three concubines, in addition to considering the inheritance of the Great Zhou Dynasty and indeed needing an heir, it was more of a means for him to split up the officials of the old dynasty party.

As long as they don't cause trouble, he will not treat his three concubines harshly, and at the same time, he will satisfy them as much as possible materially, but this does not mean that they have any feelings for each other.

Not to mention anything else, he was indeed a little hungry after being so busy.

Zhou Xu stood up and walked over to take a look.

If he hadn't known that the three soups were pigeon soup, pork ribs soup and chicken soup, he would have suspected that they were made from one pot in the imperial dining room.

A cook who can enter the imperial dining room must be very good at his craftsmanship. The three cups of soup smell good, but it would be fatal to let him drink three cups alone.

At this moment, Silk ran in again and whispered to Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.

"Quick, let him in."

Not long after, a figure wearing a black robe walked quickly into the Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, Ye Jinghong, is here to see you!"

At this moment, the man in black robe who appeared in Qinzheng Hall was Ye Jinghong!

"Jinghong, you're here just in time, Hilke, come here too. There are three cups of soup here, one for each of us, so we can have a midnight snack together."

Both Ye Jinghong and Silke were old men under Zhou Xu, and they were also his confidants. While they were loyal to him, they were not as restrained as the officials who came to serve him later.

Now that Zhou Xu had spoken, Silke and Ye Jinghong did not refuse. They sat down obediently and drank the soup one cup at a time.

Of course, while drinking the soup, Ye Jinghong did not forget the purpose of coming here.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of the investigation during this period."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After receiving the report document handed over by Ye Jinghong, Zhou Xu did not rush to read it, but first told Ye Jinghong about another matter.

"By the way Jinghong, just some time ago, we have reached an alliance with the wood elves near the territory. After discussion, we decided to send fifteen people from both sides for exchange visits. I plan to let you join these fifteen people. Let’s go together.”

The so-called exchange visit, in addition to deepening their understanding of each other, is to take the opportunity to see what good things the other party has.

In this way, their ideas will be clearer when they cooperate in the future.

The reason why Zhou Xu asked Ye Jinghong to join the exchange group is not only because of his high efficiency and outstanding personal abilities, but also because Ye Jinghong is currently the only one in Da Zhou who has the 'Peeping Eyes' people.

If there is really something good in the wood elf village, or in that forest, it will definitely not escape Ye Jinghong's eyes.

Ye Jinghong was not a fool. With a quick thought, he understood what their king meant and accepted the task.

Afterwards, Zhou Xu set his sights on Silk again.

"Silk, considering that they are all elves, I also plan to arrange for a few elves to join the exchange group. The other grassland elves have important work arrangements and cannot leave for too long, so this person must be selected from your personal guard. "

This exchange visit does not mean that he will go there for a few days and then come back. In order to better understand each other's lives, he set the exchange period to one month.

Considering this time span, compared to the prairie elves who have important jobs, choosing the elf knights in the personal guard is undoubtedly a more suitable choice.

"You have already been to the Wood Elf village once. In comparison, the Wood Elf side should be more familiar with you. I plan to let you lead the team, so that if something happens during the communication process, you can deal with it in time. Mediation.”

"I obey my orders!"

The remaining positions in the exchange group were undoubtedly given to the people of the human race. The list of fifteen people was quickly determined, and then they officially set off for the wood elf village.

At the same time, in the Wood Elf village, Chief Locke immediately summoned all the tribesmen in the village as soon as he returned to the village, and announced in public that the Wood Elf tribe had formed an alliance with the Great Zhou, and that they planned to send tribesmen for exchange visits in the future. .

"There are a total of fifteen places in the exchange group. Those who are willing to go can come forward."

"I'm going!"

Locke had just finished speaking. On the way back, Sion, who had been basically silent the whole way, took the initiative to stand up.

At this time, his face showed determination. After two consecutive defeats at the hands of Silk, Sion realized that his strength was actually far from enough. Now he has made up his mind to go to the outside world. have a look.

After Sion expressed his stance, many wood elves soon came forward one after another. In a blink of an eye, the quota had exceeded fifteen, which even Locke felt a little surprised.

But this is actually normal.

After the destruction of the old civilization, the wood elves have indeed lived in this basin forest for generations. At the same time, for the safety of the tribe, they basically do not allow the tribe to step out of this forest.

But the more this happens, the more some people will want to leave here and go out for a visit.

Among them, young people within the ethnic group undoubtedly account for the vast majority.

At this time, fifteen places are not enough.
