Cao Chun Hua was stunned, and the first reaction in his mind was "What happened to Marshal's eyes?".

But there was official business being discussed in the Marshal tent, Cao Chun Hua did not dare to disturb.

Shen Yi and Yao Zhen were both there. Yao Zhen was reading a letter from the Westerners: "Those foreigners said that they came to inquire in good faith in the spirit of friendship and harmony, asking if they could divide the four counties in Jiangnan into trading areas, allowing the garrison to exercise self-government, protecting the interests of foreign businessmen, and in the future, this place can become the link of shipping and commerce between the two sides...Oh, they also say that they love this land deeply and don't want to let the good fertile land be poisoned by war any longer."

Shen Yi: "Yesterday, there were three counties. How come there is another one added today?"

Yao Zhen sent him a helpless look: "Maybe it's because of their ‘deep love’.”

"Fuck them." Gu Yun's face was wearing an elegant liuli glass, but his words did not resemble those of a good-natured person, "Love my ass, is it their turn to love?"

Shen Yi: "..."

No one was able to answer.

Cao Chun Hua couldn't help it for a moment, and laughed aloud.

Shen Yi hurriedly waved at him and said, "Xiao Cao is here! We've been waiting for you for a long time. Come here and tell us, when will our ‘iron snake’ be built?"

"Ah, Master Shen, that name is a bit hard to hear… It will be soon,” Cao Chun Hua replied briskly, "The thing we have in abundance is the workers. The northern part has been basically completed, and the southern part is even better. In winter, there is no need to stop the construction either. When the parts are connected, the steam car can run from the capital to the riverside. I've heard from Master Du that if it goes well, it will be finished before the end of the year, as soon as possible — by the way, how come Marshal is wearing liuli glass?"

"Is it pretty?" Gu Yun smiled at him, the corners of his peach blossom eyes looked as if they were about to fly. He said shamelessly, "I dropped one the other day. This time I found someone to change the frame, asking a famous artisan of Yangzhou to carve it in person. I really don't have the heart to hide something this beautiful, thus I must wear it every day for everyone to see."

Shen Yi felt his stomach ache, "Oh my Marshal, you'd better put it away. The eyes of us mortals are not worthy of such beauty."
