Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 742 Yangzhou City

Horse bells jingled, leaving horse hoof prints on the loess ground.

Zhao Kang was puffing away the smoke from his pipe. He had already left the border of the Qian Kingdom. It would take at least ten days and a half to reach the divided Yangzhou.

The carriage door opened, Cao Bailu sat down holding Zhao Kang's shoulders, lying sideways in Zhao Kang's arms.

Shaking off the tobacco and slowing down the car to avoid bumps, Zhao Kang smiled and said, "Why don't you rest in the car? Is it too boring?"

Cao Bailu shook his head, smiled, put his arms around Zhao Kang and said, "I was afraid that you would be bored, so I came out to accompany you."

"Where is Sister Song still asleep?"

Cao Bailu's pretty face turned red as she thought about what she saw last night, and she stuck out her tongue: "No, she is really amazing. I'm afraid she is even more powerful than Sister Xiao and Sister Xinyi."

"After all, he is the person certified by Brother Diao to have the strongest combat power."

Zhao Kang sighed, it was Xiao Linglong and Wu Xinyi. Zhao Kang thought that when he was in good condition, he could still fight to a draw.

Only that vixen was defeated time and time again and still had to practice!
Cao Bailu snickered, raised his head and said with a little obsession in his beautiful eyes: "Zhao Kang."

"what happened?"

Cao Bailu whispered: "You brought me and her because we have been with you for the shortest time, right?"

Zhao Kang's hand naturally moved down, lifted up some of his trousers, and touched the pair of Kuris: "Not to mention Sister Song, you are actually the smartest one among all the people! So I am quite surprised that you are so smart. A woman will fall in love with a rogue like me."

Cao Bailu hugged her tighter and her smile became more playful, "So now I can be sure that if you treat me like this, you also love me, or at least you are trying to love me, right?"

"You girl, are you satisfied now that you have the answer?"

Zhao Kang retracted his hand and hugged the slim waist, and the car slowed down even more.

She said softly: "Linglong is arrogant, Hongxue is generous, Yufeng is gentle, Xinyi is gentle, and Sister Song is seductive."

"And your intelligence is so charming, so don't be afraid and don't feel that you are inferior to others."

"Tomorrow I will love you and like you even more than I do today."

Listening to Zhao Kang's words, Cao Bailu's eyes turned red unknowingly. It turned out that although the people around him had only been together for a short time, they had always paid attention to her emotions.

She has always taken Wu Xinyi as her target. The other person can be so bold, so she can too.

But no matter what, Wu Xinyi gave birth to a son to Zhao Kang, and it was still a boy.

In comparison, Cao Bailu believed that he had failed by selling goods.

Therefore, during Zhao Kang's absence, she, the fifth lady of the palace, acted more like a follower of the other four.

Zhao Kang discovered this only two days after he came back.

Yufeng was making soup for everyone, so she was responsible for getting the bowls. Hongxue was practicing hard on Nvhong, and he was preparing needlework for her.

She is smart and can always find out when the other four women need something, and she will just make up for their needs.

Zhao Kang smiled and then whispered something.

Cao Bailu, whose beautiful eyes were originally red, burst into tears and smiled, her face also turned red, and the smile in her eyes also showed pride: "Is it really that beautiful?"

"More beautiful than all of them."

Zhao Kang teased, "Besides, you are the undercover agent I placed next to them! As the saying goes, three obediences and four virtues are the guide for wives!"

"You have to stand on the same page as your husband!"

Cao Bailu blinked and muttered: "That's what I said, but now you can't handle seven, so why are you thinking about others."

"It's no problem to deal with you, a scumbag like you! Why do you want to betray the organization?" Zhao Kang pretended to be displeased.

Cao Bailu immediately came forward and rubbed his cheek gently: "You can have as many as you want. My little wife's heart will always be with you."

"You love fool, I'll punish you by digging wild vegetables today!" Zhao Kang laughed. "What is a love brain and why do we need to dig wild vegetables?"

Zhao Kang laughed happily and patted his chest: "Lie down, Ba Ba will tell you a story today. It is said that there is a man named Xue Pinggui..."

……

"It's so miserable. I worked hard in the cold kiln for 18 years, and in the end I only became the queen for [-] days." Cao Bailu sighed.

Just as Zhao Kang was about to respond, laughter came from behind: "Xue Pinggui is so talented in this story. If he hadn't met Wang Baochuan, he would have always been able to get ahead. How could he have been ruined and become a beggar..."

Zhao Kang smiled and stretched out his hand to hold on to Song Qingyan, who woke up: "It's just a story, it's over after you hear it."

"Yeah, it would be nice if things like this were just stories."

The depressed mood disappeared without a trace after just a moment. Looking at Zhao Kang's gaze, Song Qingyan smiled and said nothing, and her eyes became a little infatuated like Cao Bailu.

Everyone is a shining pearl since birth into the world. However, the wind and frost of the world will always make the pearls stained with flaws.

But even if you are covered in dust, there will always be a pair of eyes that feel that you are shining with your own brilliance.

I hope all the tragedies in the world are just stories in books, and I hope that people after the tragedy will be as lucky as I, Song Qingyan.

The sky is filled with stars, and the sound of car bells makes people alert.

A group of Qianguo soldiers quickly gathered and stopped the carriage.

Zhao Kang reached out and took out the handsome seal from his arms, and said calmly: "Where is Sun Fang?"

Many soldiers were shocked when they saw it, and then they were ecstatic and knelt down on one knee: "See the commander-in-chief!"

The leading commander hurriedly said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, General Sun is leading people to patrol the city. Please invite the commander-in-chief to enter the city!"

Zhao Kang hummed and got back on the carriage, with the chief leading the way.

After entering the city, the commander hurriedly said: "Commander, do you want your subordinates to go down and inform General Sun?"

"Go."

"Commander, please wait a moment."

After knocking on the carriage door, Zhao Kang smiled and asked, "Do you two want to come down for some air?"

Song Qingyan's voice came out: "No, in a place where the army is stationed, the presence of women will affect the appearance of the troops and their morale."

"What Sister Song said is that the carriage is not stuffy at all." Cao Bailu also said.

Zhao Kang smiled: "That's okay."

At this time, there was the sound of armor from behind. Zhao Kang turned around and saw Sun Fang coming quickly with a group of night watch soldiers.

"See Master!"

"Get up."

Leaning against the carriage, Zhao Kang asked with a smile: "How are you doing during this time?"

Sun Fang came up and said with a smile: "Everything is taking over the city according to your instructions, Marshal. At the beginning, the people were a little scared, but now they are no longer. If they meet on the familiar road, they will even say hello to us."

"Well done!"

Zhao Kang praised: "Tomorrow, go to the city to find some carving masters to carve the words Yangzhou City."

Sun Fang was stunned for a moment and then said in great surprise: "What do you mean, Marshal!"

Zhao Kang: "From now on, this city must be called Yangzhou City!"
