The two people hugging each other on the ridge of the field finally abandoned the troubles of the world at this moment.But he didn't relax for a moment. Suddenly, another loud call came from a distance: "Yuan Nujun! Yuan Nujun——"

As a burst of noisy footsteps came rustling on the grass blades, the two people hugging each other on the ridge of the field reluctantly separated.

The two of them didn't hear clearly what the incoming person was shouting, but they saw that the incoming person had white eyes covered with white cloth. The ghost-faced general first pulled the girl in red shirt behind him to block her.

When I got closer, I heard Gao Changgong's confidant informing me that when Hu Lu Youcheng was there just now, there was a counselor who recommended himself to visit, but was declined by King Lanling. Now he actually chased him into the wheat field and pointed out that he was looking for Zheng Xuannv. At that time, Gao Changgong's cronies were guarding the intersection and did not dare to disturb his eldest brother and sister-in-law. However, people came to the door, so they had no choice but to show them the way.

When the two of them approached, Yuan Wuyou broke away from Gao Changgong and saw that it was Zu Jue and Yan Zhitui.

Gao Changgong seemed to dislike seeing Zu Jue. He only bowed his head slightly and addressed him respectfully: "Zu Jue."

But he didn't clasp his fists in salute, but suddenly clenched his big hand that was tightly intertwined with Yuan Wuyou's, his palms slightly wet with sweat.

Although Yuan Wuyou had an empty position as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his identity as the princess of the Huaxu Kingdom was already known to everyone, so he did not need to pay a courtesy to the Queen of Qi, to a sycophant who had been expelled from the capital. Even more unnecessary.

She also echoed: "The ancestral governor."

Unexpectedly, the blindfolded ancestral governor in white shirt actually bowed respectfully behind him when he heard the sound: "Why is Yuannu Jun standing behind you?"

Yan Zhitui would helplessly push him back, "In this compartment!" Then he bowed to Yuan Wuyou and explained: "Since the governor was blinded by turnip seeds, he has lost his ability to listen to sounds and identify positions in the opposite direction. Please forgive me for my fault."

Gao Changgong said, "Without King Ande, there is only one person. The princess of the country, Huaxu Daughter, is the honor of the emperor. How can I, the king, dare to stand alongside her?"

Yan Zhitui stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Prince Lanling doesn't know, right? My lord has specially made Zheng Xuannv, the orphan of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the queen of Runan. She has the same title as the king of the county and is more respected than the queen."

Gao Changgong felt a buzzing in his ears! "What?"

After Zu Jue told him, Yuan Wuyou learned that after Zheng Guanqi returned to Yecheng, he recommended Zheng Xuannv to the Prime Minister Lu as an official.At the same time, the emperor of Yecheng also sent the defenders of Ye to convey a message to Zu Jue, asking him to return to the court and receive a title if he assisted the female queen of Runan in her western expedition.And recently she transferred Luozhou Governor Dugu Yongye and Jezhou Governor Yuchi Mengdu to serve her.

Gao Changgong was completely unprepared for what was happening in front of him. He stared blankly as his daughter-in-law supported the blind governor and walked in front. She was already talking about the standards for meritorious service given to her by the Lord of Qi and how many soldiers and horses she had at her disposal. Only then did Gao Changgong realize that he was probably the only one who was deprived of military power and not reused.

The current importance the Lord of Qi attaches to this "Queen of Runan" can be seen just by the appointed generals and counselors.

In particular, the counselor Zu Jue also said that some of the soldiers who invaded Mulan City in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were infected with the plague, so they looted the Zheng family medicine mountain, but many people died of the disease, but he had a plan to kill them. opposite.

King Lanling said hurriedly: "You can't use dead bodies."

Zu Jue was dejected: "That's gone."

Yuan Wuyou was at a loss when he heard that.
"What can a dead body do? The Zhou army has caused another plague in Mulan City. Shouldn't it be isolated and treated first?"

When Nujun asked about her areas of expertise, Zu Jue said excitedly:
"The outbreak of plague in Zhou's army is a God-given opportunity. We should carry the diseased corpses onto catapults and throw them to the enemy's camp, or place them upstream of the enemy's water source."

These remarks were concise and concise, enough to shock Yuan Wuyou for a while before he could recover, "It's so outrageous, how did you think of it?"

The ancestral governor knew that the person who was supporting him just now was the Queen of Runan. At this time, he bowed to Yan Zhitui in the opposite direction:
"Being a low-ranking official, I have been a disciple of Jia Xu, a poisonous warrior from the Three Kingdoms since I was a child. When Cao Cao's army was plagued by plague, other counselors would only think of burying and burning the corpses to prevent the large-scale spread of the plague, but Jia Xu would advise Prime Minister Cao to pull the corpse to Liu Huangshu's city, or the water source of Liu Bei's military camp. Now is the right time, and the queen can follow suit." The voice of the ancestor governor was soft and slow, with cadences. It didn't sound hoarse and sharp, but when you listen to every word, you can clearly hear the scorching sun above your head. Exposed to the sun, Yuan Wuyou still felt a chill from the sky down to his spine.

She said hurriedly, "This plan may harm Tianhe and be detrimental to the Western Expedition."

Zu Jue raised his hand to straighten the white cloth covering his eyes and said with emotion:
"It's good for Xiao Zheng."

Yuan Wuyou was confused: "What is Xiao Zheng?"

Zu Jue smiled slightly: "Xiao Zheng is me."

Although Yuan Wuyou was speechless, he did not dare to remain silent for fear that he would think that he agreed with him, so he quickly declined and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, for sending counselors, but you need to think twice about your plan. The ancestral governor has also been tired of traveling for many days. Please go back to the palace first." Rest in the post and we’ll discuss it someday.”

After saying that, she deliberately slowed down and reached for Gao Changgong's hand.

She just looked into the man's deep and affectionate dark phoenix eyes and asked him in a low voice, "Why don't you say anything?"

Gao Changgong gritted his teeth and whispered in a low voice, "I had known that he was a poisonous person in the world. Two years ago, the battle of Zhuankou flooded farmland and caused plague. Normal counselors would give out medicine to prevent and cure it, but he said that God would help me, and it was also a dead end... At that time I won’t say who led the troops, but the battle between Daqi and Daqi will be notorious and the baby will stop crying."

Taking advantage of Zu Jue's blindness and deafness, the two deliberately walked a few steps slowly and whispered behind them.

Zu Jue's advice as a counselor was declined by the Runan Queen.

When a few people walked out of the farmland, the ancestral governor, with the support of Yan Zhitui, stepped forward without giving up and recommended himself:

"Nujun must think twice, I can make Nvjun famous forever."

Yuan Wuyou raised his eyes: "Good reputation or notoriety?"

Zu Jue: "Then don't worry about it."

"Please take a rest first, Governor Zu. We have a long way to go."

As soon as a few people walked out of the wheat field and got on the carriage, a column of strange cavalry with armor on their faces came, claiming to be the subordinates of Hulu Youcheng, and invited King Lanling to discuss matters.

King Lanling originally wanted to take his daughter-in-law with him, but the armor-clad cavalryman emphasized: "Your Majesty only invited King Lanling alone, not Zheng Xuannv."

The ancestral governor was not polite and scolded the cavalryman:
"You are such a rude warrior. This is the "Runan Queen" conferred by the emperor! The seal letter is still in my hands. Hu Lu Youcheng dared to be so rampant because he was the emperor's Yue family and the queen's mother family. Refutation Your Majesty’s order?”

The cavalryman then quickly dismounted his horse, cupped his fists and saluted Yuan Wuyou, but said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:
"I am humble enough to pay my respects to Lady Runan!"

As a result, King Lanling was summoned alone to discuss military affairs.
