Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 137 The First Step

Ye Hongxue gave a bitter smile, looked at the dumbfounded Wu Rulong and said, "Your Majesty, can't you see that I have not recovered from my serious injury?"

Wu Rulong finally came back to his senses: "No wonder, I felt something was wrong with your breathing before. Are everything you said true?"

Ye Hongxue said: "Yes, it is precisely because I saw the infinite possibilities in Zhao Kang that I did not kill him in Qian Kingdom."

"If we can bring him back to Qian Country, it will definitely be of no harm to our Jing Country."

Wu Rulong frowned: "But obviously, you failed. Is your injury caused by this?"

Ye Hongxue did not answer, but she decided to conceal the fact that Zhao Kang killed Li Muqing and Liu Hanlong.

Otherwise, once Dazhou and Qi find out that the two have not returned home, they will realize it and put pressure on Jingguo.

Wu Rulong in front of him would tell Qi Guo and Dazhou about the matter without even thinking about it.

Then Zhao Kang would be in danger.

Qi and Da Zhou will definitely seek revenge at all costs.

As long as there is no evidence between the two countries, they can only come to Ye Hongxue. They only need to confirm that she and Li Muqing were separated after leaving Jiayin Pass, and they don't know anything else.

So even if the two countries are unwilling to do so, they still have to weigh her strength, Ye Hongxue.

"Your Majesty is right. I did fail. Zhao Kang is not willing to follow me back to Jingguo."

Wu Rulong smiled: "It's interesting that there are still men who can reject you. But the empress of Qian Kingdom is unparalleled in appearance. Could it be that General Ye lost to her again?"

To be able to make such a joke, it is obvious that the relationship between Wu Rulong and Ye Hongxue, a monarch and minister, is not as simple as others think.

Wu Rulong did not pursue why Ye Hongxue failed to bring Zhao Kang back, because no one knew better than him.

How much the person in front of her loved Jing Guo. Since she returned empty-handed, she would definitely give herself a satisfactory answer.

Ye Hongxue looked a little embarrassed, remembering several close contacts with Zhao Kang in his mind, and his ears turned red.

Wu Rulong was stunned: "General Ye, are you really attracted to Zhao Kang? Then I will have to mourn for my sons."

"If your Majesty does this again, I will have nothing to say." Ye Hongxue curled her lips.

Wu Rulong laughed: "Go on."

Ye Hongxue calmed down and then said: "Your Majesty, although I did not bring Zhao Kang back, Zhao Kang also did not want to be at odds with our Jingguo, so he made an agreement with me."

"Covenant?" Wu Rulong understood.

Ye Hongxue nodded: "Yes, he is willing to sign an alliance with us on behalf of Qian Guo and Qian Jing."

Wu Rulong stroked his beard and began to think about this matter, and then said: "But even if we form an alliance, it is not a good thing for our Jingguo."

"Among the four kingdoms, the Qian Kingdom is the weakest, and our Jing Kingdom is the second. According to what you said, Zhao Kang is such a great talent, and he is deeply trusted by the empress of the Qian Kingdom. Maybe it won't take long for the Qian Kingdom to surpass him. What will happen to us, Jingguo, then?"

Ye Hongxue said sternly: "I have also considered this matter. Zhao Kang is a decisive and thoughtful person, but he is not a ruthless person. Even if Your Majesty does not remove Hongxue's military affairs when he returns home this time, I plan to ask Your Majesty for help." Resigned."

Wu Rulong glanced at Ye Hongxue. The monarch and his subjects had been close friends for many years. He had already thought of what Ye Hongxue was going to say.

"Are you planning to contact Zhao Kang to benefit Jingguo?"

Ye Hongxue nodded: "In Jingguo, only Zhao Kang and I have an intersection. No matter what, I will find a way to get Zhao Kang to help us in Jingguo."

"That's the best thing to do."

Wu Rulong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Hongxue with approval: "Jingguo is blessed to have you. In this case, I will issue an edict tomorrow for you to take over the position of Minister of Rites. How can we just make a simple alliance?"

Wu Rulong chuckled: "Since Zhao Kang is a great talent, I have to find a way to make his talent available to me. Business and administration, as long as it is related to Qianguo, you will be responsible for it from now on." Ye Hongxue left. The seater knelt down on his knees: "I thank my emperor for your trust."

"There is no need to say more about you, my king and my ministers."

Wu Rulong smiled: "Having said that, Hongxue, you have to work harder. You will be an old girl in a few years. If you can win Zhao Kang, I will personally host your wedding."

"The empress of his country is unparalleled in beauty, but our General Ye is not bad either, right?"

After many years of acquaintance, Wu Rulong was naturally very familiar with his ministers. Every time Ye Hongxue mentioned the strange look on Zhao Kang's eyebrows, he had already caught his attention.

"Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me." Ye Hongxue was speechless, but Zhao Kang's face couldn't help but flash in his mind.

After Emperor Jing and Ye Hongxue finalized the alliance, they just waited for Zhao Kang to deliver the sanitary napkins.

After a few days.

dry country.

Three days have passed since Zhao Kang was awarded the title, and the bustle has settled down.The peace of the past was restored.

But some people are destined to be restless.

When Zhao Kang came to the palace, he was summoned. The person who summoned him was not Her Majesty the Empress, but Prince Xuance.

As soon as he saw his good brother coming, Xiao Xuance immediately became excited: "Hurry up, Lao Zhao, come here quickly."

Zhao Kang knew the truth and asked: "I'm seeing Your Highness, but I don't know why Your Highness is summoning you?"

"You're just pretending to be stupid for me, aren't you!" Xiao Xuance said angrily.

Zhao Kang laughed and was pulled to sit down by him.

Ever since that day in Yuanjiang County, when he heard Zhao Kang say that he would help him build his own Yuanjiang County, the blood in Xiao Xuance's body had completely burned.

Just waiting for Zhao Kang to call him, he will do something earth-shattering and become the beam of light that shines in the hearts of the people of the imperial capital.

result.

He was full of energy and blood, but when Zhao Kang came back, he ignored him and did not go to court for three days in a row.

This made Xiao Xuance so angry that he finally couldn't help but summoned Zhao Kang.

"Hurry up and tell me how we are going to start! I can't wait now!"

After pulling Zhao Kang to sit down, Xiao Xuance quickly poured a glass of water himself and listened attentively.

Lying on the rocking chair, Zhao Kang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have been thinking about this matter these days. I have already made an idea. You have to eat one bite at a time, right? Let's take the first step first."

"How?" Xiao Xuance asked stupidly.

Zhao Kang said matter-of-factly: "Then it's natural to grab a piece of land! If you don't have any land, how can you develop the economy and build your own Yuanjiang County?"

"Yes, yes, that's what you should do."

Xiao Xuance nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Then what should we do? No, this country belongs to my family. Why should I grab the territory if it is wanted?"

Zhao Kang snorted unceremoniously: "From your family? Not necessarily."

"What do you mean? There are still people who dare to rebel!" His Royal Highness was angry.

Zhao Kang straightened up: "Come, let me talk to you and let you know how we should take this first step."
