Chapter 1541 Chu Chen's Ideal
Upon hearing Dong Shilan's words, Chu Chen's heart tightened. He hadn't seen this woman for so long; he wondered how much of his energy it would take to get rid of her.
But since we're already here, we can't let them down.
So he slung his submachine gun over his shoulder, then got into a carriage with Dong Shilan and returned to the courtyard.
The small courtyard had now been completely purchased by Chu Chen, and thus became his home in Seoul.
When the servants saw that Chu Chen had brought back another beautiful woman, they immediately went to his room to prepare hot water.
Looking at the busy servants, Dong Shilan looked at Chu Chen with some displeasure: "Little brother, it seems you've brought back quite a few girls, since these servants are so familiar with them."
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, and then pulled him directly into the room.
Then he said, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
What a joke! What woman would want to see the man she loves spending all his time with other women, especially since Dong Shilan is an emperor?
But what could she do? As an emperor, she could have created a harem just like a male emperor.
But if she were to do something like that, she wouldn't be Dong Shilan anymore.
Therefore, if she doesn't want a harem but still wants to be with Chu Chen, then it's something that can't be made public.
Chu Chen is in his twenties. Even if he is domineering, he shouldn't interfere in other people's private lives.
After all, in this world, having three wives and four concubines is almost the standard.
Moreover, who knows what other tricks Chu Chen has up his sleeve? After so much contact and communication, Dong Shilan realized that she couldn't see through him at all.
Therefore, deep down, she still harbored a sense of apprehension towards this man.
So she had nothing to say: "Little brother, I won't stop you, but I want to remind you to stay away from those prostitutes. They're not clean."
Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this: "Sister, you've misunderstood. I have no plans to get married yet, so I haven't thought about those things. As for the servants' actions, it's just that I'm a clean person, and they prepare hot water for me every day when I come back."
Ah. Could I have misunderstood? Is this man in front of me different from other men?
So, how did he spend all this time since we last met?
Dong Shilan, who was not happy just a second ago, now felt a little guilty: "Little brother, you don't have to be like this. If you meet someone good, just accept it. I don't want to see you suffer this loneliness every day."
What a good person, what a good woman...
Chu Chen had a touching expression on his face, almost on the verge of tears, but in his heart, his goodwill towards Dong Shilan in front of him had increased even more.
Where did such a good leader come from? What have I done to deserve this?
"Sister, don't worry, your brother will definitely listen to you if he has the chance."
Seeing Chu Chen's moved expression, Dong Shilan immediately plopped down on the bed...
A day and a night later, Chu Chen and Dong Shilan emerged from the room, feeling refreshed.
After washing up with the help of servants, he went directly to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Dong Shilan handed Chu Chen a cup of tea: "Brother, what are your thoughts on the Xiongnu?"
Chu Chen took a sip of tea, thinking to himself that he had finally revealed his true purpose. It seemed that he couldn't escape this long journey.
“I have no particular thoughts. If they have money and weapons, then I’ll take them and make them part of the Song Kingdom.”
After hearing Chu Chen's words, Dong Shilan smiled.
"Brother, could you help me with this trip?"
Chu Chen had long guessed Dong Shilan's purpose, which was to have him accompany him to subdue the Xiongnu. As a neighboring country of Song, Dong Shilan already hated them to the core.
For so many years, the Xiongnu, relying on their superior strength and size, have coveted everything in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, this time Dong Shilan has stood up and used the Xiongnu to announce to the world that the Song Dynasty intends to conquer the entire world.
As for why he chose himself, one reason was that he wanted to highlight himself as a key opposing force to the enemy, so that he could firmly connect with the State of Song.
To put it bluntly, it's about offending other countries in one's own name.
Secondly, she could see Chu Chen's extraordinary abilities, so on the battlefield she wanted to further explore Chu Chen's potential and make good use of him.
Chu Chen knew all this, but it didn't matter. He was just going through an experience. Although the flow of time was different here from where Li Qinglian and the others lived, for him, it meant he would not see Li Qinglian and those lovely people for hundreds of years. So, he wanted to finish as soon as possible and go home.
So he turned to Dong Shilan and asked, "When?"
"At the beginning of next year, I will give them six months to train. After six months, when they return after the New Year, it will be the first step for my Song Kingdom to conquer the world."
"Okay, then I'll get ready!"
"Haha, I knew my brother would agree. Let's go out for a walk and see the bustling and lively Seoul."
After having a light breakfast, the two went straight to the streets of Seoul. At this moment, Dong Shi-ran no longer wore the imperial attire and looked no different from an ordinary wealthy woman.
The two strolled and ate on the streets of Seoul like a couple.
Meanwhile, Gou Shengzi and his eight men kept their distance from them, remaining on guard all around.
"Sister, there is a country where people don't need to carry weapons when they go out. Everyone has enough to eat and wear. They don't have to worry about their money being stolen or being harmed by bandits on the street. They don't have to kneel down to officials. Everyone works diligently and quietly in their positions. With everyone working together, they have transformed a weak country into the world's number one power in less than a hundred years."
Hearing Chu Chen's words, Dong Shilan had a sudden feeling that her younger brother might not be from this world.
But she didn't reveal her true thoughts. Regardless of who he was or where he came from, he had undeniably brought her benefits.
"Little brother, the place you described must be the legendary fairyland."
"Hehe, in this world, there is no such thing as a fairyland. It is just that every living being can live happily, and that is a fairyland."
What is happiness?
“For example, you were very happy last night. For example, that stall owner, you were happy just watching him earn money through his own labor.”
For a moment, Dong Shilan fell into deep thought.
It seems that this is Chu Chen's ideal, just as he said that day: to have a country without war.
“Little brother, I understand what you mean. One day, I will show you what you want.”
