Ye Hongxue was startled by her own thoughts, and her eyes flickered as she looked at Zhao Kang, who was calm as usual across from him.
The female general was filled with hesitation at the moment. She really wanted to take Zhao Kang away, and she saw infinite possibilities in Zhao Kang.
But Zhao Kang is a living person, so what if he is taken away by force?
As long as he doesn't want to, is there any way to make him serve Jingguo?
Thoughts abounded, but in the end they just turned into a helpless sigh. Ye Hongxue stood up and said, "I understand."
Zhao Kang looked at her and stood up. He was just thinking: "Maybe we shouldn't be enemies."
Ye Hongxue raised her eyebrows and understood what Zhao Kang meant: "You mean the Qianjing Alliance?"
"Yes, Qi and Zhou are strong, and their national and military strength far exceed those of Qian and Jing. Our two countries might as well form an alliance secretly."
Ye Hongxue's eyes lit up. She really hadn't thought about this, maybe because she didn't think so in the past.
Because there is no benefit in forming an alliance with a weak country.
But now it's different with Zhao Kang. With him here, as long as there is enough time, the Qian Kingdom will surely become strong and prosperous.
If an alliance can be formed at this time, Jingguo may also be able to benefit from it.
The more she thought about it, the more excited Ye Hongxue became: "I will discuss this matter with His Majesty when I get back. Are you sure?"
Zhao Kang smiled: "Don't forget, I am now the national master of the Qian Kingdom. Your Majesty the Empress should not refuse if I ask!"
"So good!"
The depression and unwillingness in Ye Hongxue's heart were swept away, and she felt more comfortable looking at Zhao Kang.
Zhao Kang smiled and said: "In a while, all the sanitary napkins will be ready and sent over. We can take advantage of this time to sign a covenant."
"Then it's settled!"
After the matter was finalized, Ye Hongxue did not delay. She and Xiao Linglong were both people who cared about the country and were about to leave for home immediately.
Zhao Kang bought a good horse and sent Ye Hongxue to the pass.
The female general was in a good mood at the moment. She smiled and took the reins from Zhao Kang's hand: "You really don't want to go back with me? But what I said before still counts."
Zhao Kang smiled and slapped the horse's ass and said confidently: "Even if I don't go back with you, sooner or later, you will be my Zhao Kang!"
"Bragging! I just want to see if you have this ability!" Ye Hongxue smiled, and all the passersby around him were stunned.
The two nodded to each other, and the female general left.
Watching Ye Hongxue disappear outside the pass, Zhao Kang did not stay any longer.
Taking care of Ye Hongxue during this period took a lot of time, and the half-month time limit was almost over, and he had to return to the imperial capital quickly.
Hurrying slowly, it still took Zhao Kang a full ten days to return to the imperial capital of Qian Kingdom.
Today was the court meeting, and all the civil and military officials had not yet left the court. After Zhao Kang showed his token, the palace guards naturally did not dare to stop him and entered the harem easily.
Before his butt was hot, His Highness the Prince, who received the news, rushed over to watch the show.
"Okay, Zhao Kang, you've become a master, right? I haven't seen you for almost a month. Just wait for my eldest sister to deal with you after she goes to court."
Xiao Xuance sat down with a smile, and Zhao Kang was responsible for teaching him how to read. Zhao Kang had not been here for the past month, so he was too busy.
"Just yesterday I got angry because I mentioned you."
Zhao Kang rolled his eyes: "Want to see my joke? Believe it or not, I will let you copy ten books today!"
"Damn it, are you still a brother? You can go out to play without me, but you dare to punish me for copying books when you come back!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuance rushed over to strangle Zhao Kang to death.
Zhao Kang dodged left and right, and at this moment the eunuch outside the imperial garden shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"
Xiao Xuance immediately stopped his hand and stood aside obediently. Zhao Kang also quickly stood up and straightened his back.
The whole family is fearless, but they are only controlled by Xiao Linglong.
Xiao Linglong did not change into her court uniform. She obviously knew the news of Zhao Kang's return and rushed over immediately after the court.
After glancing at Xiao Xuance, he said calmly: "Except for the Imperial Master, everyone else should step aside."
Giving Zhao Kang a gloating look, Xiao Xuance hurried away.
Suddenly there were only two people left in the huge imperial garden, and their anger was so serious that it made people seep in.
Zhao Kang lowered his eyes, and he knew that Her Majesty the Empress was looking at him with anger even without looking at him.
As expected, the next moment Her Majesty the Empress was so angry that she cursed: "Okay! Do you think that since you are a national master, I can't cure you?"
"You disappeared for twenty-five days! Do you know how many ministers have started to impeach you?"
"Do you still have a sense of responsibility as the leader of officials?"
Zhao Kang lowered his head with a guilty conscience and did not dare to reply. He was thinking that Xiao Linglong was so angry now. How would he report the news that he had killed Li Muqing and Liu Hanlong later?
Seeing that Zhao Kang was reprimanded without any excuse, Xiao Linglong felt a little better and snorted coldly: "I suppressed it for you this time. Let's see how I deal with you next time! Where have you been during this time!"
"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Don't be angry. If you are angry, you will not be well. Please take your time."
Zhao Kang raised his head with a smile on his face and motioned for Xiao Linglong to sit down first.
"Your Majesty, I have not been idle during this time."
Zhao Kang had been thinking about it for a long time and had already thought of how to say it: "After I sent Mr. Zhang to Yuanjiang County, I went to meet Ye Hongxue."
"Ye Hongxue." Xiao Linglong became serious when she heard the name.
This person is no simple character!
Zhao Kangdao: "Yes, under the persuasion of my minister's eloquent words, Ye Hongxue has agreed to go back and persuade Emperor Jingguo to have a private alliance with our Qianguo. From now on, it will be very convenient for business and other matters."
"Real or false!" Her Majesty the Empress was extremely surprised.
Zhao Kangdao: "Nothing false!"
It turned out that he was going to do this. Xiao Linglong felt that her cheeks were hot. She had wrongly blamed him.
Being able to form an alliance with Jingguo is definitely a great thing for Qianguo. Thinking about it, he just pointed at Zhao Kang and cursed him indiscriminately.
Xiao Linglong was quite embarrassed. There was no one around at the moment, so she said in a low voice: "Then, I wrongly blamed the Imperial Master."
"No no."
Zhao Kang immediately borrowed the donkey from Poxia: "It is Zhao Kang's greatest wish in this life to be loyal to His Majesty. After all, I still want Your Majesty to be my wife."
"You! Stop talking nonsense!"
Xiao Linglong choked on her words and remembered that day in the imperial study room, Zhao Kang dared to kiss her and threatened to make her the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family without fear of death.
This bastard is getting more and more courageous!
Zhao Kang laughed playfully, and seeing that Xiao Linglong's previous anger had almost disappeared, he said casually: "By the way, Your Majesty, there is something I forgot to mention."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Linglong said angrily. Seeing that he had pulled Jing Guo into an alliance, she didn't care about him anymore.
Zhao Kang said indifferently: "Li Muqing and Liu Hanlong were killed by me."
Xiao Linglong was stunned, then stood up tremblingly: "You, you, you, what did you say?"
"Ahem, your Majesty, don't get excited, isn't it just... I'm stupid... someone is here, your Majesty has fainted!"
