Zhou Jian suddenly opened his eyes. His disguised appearance made it difficult to tell that he was the young and heroic emperor.

"You are Kong Ci?"

The middle-aged man looked up and squeezed out a stiff and unnatural smile: "Sir, it's just that."

Zhou Jian narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down. Kong Ci was considered half a rank of officials. Why did his eyes look so dull and his smile stiffly, giving people a not very smart look?

Not only him, but also the sharp-eyed Yang Wei and Master Ku were all surprised, but they were not as detailed as Zhou Jian.

Just as the two sides were in opposition and Kong Ci greeted each other.

Sudden!

Zhou Jian felt it keenly, and a peeping look in the crowd of people pressing their heads was looking at him. He looked at him suddenly, and the man who was intimidated by the powerful emperor dodged repeatedly.

I saw that the man was actually a woman, wrapped her head in a black silk scarf, only a pair of eyes exposed, and the eye sockets were deep, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the pupils were brown.

She hid directly behind Kong Ci.

Zhou Jian's eyes were very cold, and he knew at a glance that this was a woman from the Western Regions. People from the Western Regions all had three-dimensional facial features and taller figures than Han people.

"Sir Kong, who is she?"

Kong Ci's face changed slightly, and then he squeezed out a smile and said, "Sir, this person is a slave bought by the Xiaguan. He works odd jobs in the Protectorate's Mansion and serves tea and water."

According to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, buying a slave is not a big deal. Especially for a general like Kong Ci, it is not surprising how many women he bought. Moreover, the ones he bought were women from the Western Regions, and they were often sold into the Central Plains, so Master Ku, Guanyinbi and others didn't think anything about it.

But Zhou Jian's eyes locked the woman!

Kong Ci didn't dare to look at him. Why did she dare to peek at him in this slave? There was definitely a problem!

But he didn't say anything: "Oh? Slave? Looks good, I want to buy one or two in the future."

Listening to the unrelated topic, the people in the Protectorate's House became even more uneasy. They couldn't help but decide whether Zhou Jian was asking for punishment or his attitude. This kind of oppression was full.

Kong Ci immediately smiled and said, "Sir, if you like it, the official will give her to you."

Zhou Jian narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes instantly!

When Kong Ci said this, he subconsciously glanced at the Western Region woman behind him, feeling that he was asking for the slave. Although it was very subtle, he still observed it.

At this moment, many things seemed to confirm his conjecture.

"Let's talk about it, I am here to be a routine governor, not a fun one."

"General Kong, are you going to talk to me here?" He raised his eyebrows.

Kong Ci was furious and immediately led someone to make way out of a passage, reached out and said respectfully: "Sir, I am negligent, hurry, please come in!"

"Although the conditions of the Protectorate are limited, there are still some wine and good meat. Please ask the imperial envoy to come in to warm up your body. The temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions is very large, so don't catch a cold."

"Let's go!" Zhou Jian did not show his joy and anger at his plea. With an order, the entire army entered the Protectorate Mansion.

"Yes!" Master Ku and others followed closely behind and were ready.

These things happened, coupled with the many instability of the border itself, no one dared to take it lightly now. They began to gradually understand why Zhou Jian was extremely careful from the beginning.
