Ye Hongxue stood at the door, watching the military doctor applying medicine to Zhao Kang to treat his injury, with confused thoughts in his heart.
She also thought she knew something about Zhao Kang's character. The calmer he seemed on the surface, the angrier he was in his heart.
This was the case when we decided to kill Li Muqing and Liu Hanlong.
She was very frustrated. From Zhao Kang's words, she knew that Zhao Kang would never let Xu Qing go.
But this is Jingguo, not the mountain road outside Jiayin Pass.
Xu Qing's father had a superior title and was a pillar of the imperial court. He was granted the title of Duke.
Even Ye Hongxue, who was as detached as she was, did not kill Xu Qing at first, but only taught him a painful lesson.
How difficult would it be for Zhao Kang to kill Xu Qing in Jingguo?
Seeing the military doctor stop, Ye Hongxue quickly stepped forward and asked, "How's it going?"
"Back to General Ye, Mr. Zhao is no longer seriously injured. It's mostly a skin injury. He should rest for a few days and wait for the wound to scab."
Ye Hongxue breathed a sigh of relief.
After the military doctor left, she looked at Zhao Kang and saw him looking at her with a half-smile.
"Zhao Kang..." She was about to say something.
Zhao Kang asked: "Have you brought the money?"
"What money?" Ye Hongxue was stunned.
Zhao Kang clicked his tongue: "Hey, hey, hey, we're here to do business. Don't you even have the money ready? You want to prostitute me for nothing!"
Only then did Ye Hongxue react and said quickly: "Yes, yes, how much is the total?"
"According to the previously agreed upon 20 cents and three packs of sanitary napkins, the total is 300,000 packs, a total of 2,000 taels. I want a banknote, the kind that can be exchanged in Qian Country."
Zhao Kang said with a smile, seemingly not caring about his injuries.
Ye Hongxue breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, how about I give you more?"
She really felt a little guilty, Zhao Kang came to deliver the goods to her and it was good to form an alliance.
However, as soon as he arrived in Jingguo, he was thrown into prison and beaten severely.
If Zhao Kang did not intend to form an alliance because of this, then Jing Guo could be said to have single-handedly pushed this ally away.
Xu Qing, this bastard!
Ye Hongxue felt itchy with hatred.
Zhao Kang got out of bed and said calmly: "The agreed price is whatever it is. We are all so familiar, why are you so polite?"
Ye Hongxue felt even more ashamed.
At this moment, Zhao Kang changed the subject, "Now that the business is finalized, let's go to Huajing City to meet His Majesty Jing Guo."
Ye Hongxue's heart skipped a beat and she asked tentatively: "What are you going to do in Huajing City?"
Zhao Kang smiled strangely: "Of course we have formed an alliance. Isn't this what we agreed on before? I have brought His Majesty's letter of alliance with me."
Ye Hongxue could just go and sign the alliance in Langshan Town if she wanted to. She could just go and ask His Majesty for a copy of the alliance.
But before she could think of this idea and express it, Zhao Kang said softly: "Master Ye, I, Zhao Kang, as the national advisor of Qian State and the Marquis of An Guo, will go to your country as an envoy on behalf of Qian State."
"Since you are the Minister of Rites, you should know that according to the etiquette system, your country should be greeted by hundreds of officials, right?"
There was a roar in Ye Hongxue's head, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhao Kang, but she didn't see any relaxation in Zhao Kang's expression.
The three words "Master Ye" have already shown everything. This is not as simple as Zhao Kang being humiliated.
It's a diplomatic conflict!
The two looked at each other without giving in.
After a moment of silence, Ye Hongxue was the first to be defeated.
"Zhao Kang, can you give me some face?"
Zhao Kang smiled slightly: "This is not a face-saving thing. I know you are worried that I will get into trouble, but it doesn't matter. I can't sleep until he dies!"
The second time she heard Zhao Kang say this, Ye Hongxue knew in her heart that Zhao Kang was determined to kill someone.
If he was an envoy of the Qian Kingdom, Xu Qing might really be punished for this.
But Ye Hongxue found it a bit difficult to say that he would die from this.
After all, he was the son of a duke. If Xu Ning, the protector of the country, tried to protect him, even His Majesty Wu Rulong would never kill him.
Sighing deeply, Ye Hongxue said helplessly: "I understand. You should have a good rest first. I'll send you a letter and send it back to Huajing City as soon as possible to wait for His Majesty's reply."
"Thanks, there's no need to rest. Let's go ahead and have people remove those sanitary napkins. Then you can find some female military doctors to teach them how to use them."
"By the way, I wrote a hygiene manual for you before. You can also promote it in the military. In the end, you still need to do a good job of your own hygiene to avoid the spread of diseases."
Listening to Zhao Kang's words, Ye Hongxue was a little dumbfounded. This guy's service was really attentive.
Huajing City.
Xu Qing galloped all the way back to Xu Mansion alone. As soon as he entered the house, he asked the housekeeper: "Is father at home?"
The housekeeper said quickly: "Go back to the third young master. I have just returned from the palace. I went to play chess with His Majesty earlier."
"That's good." Xu Qing laughed and felt relieved at the same time.
Protector Xu Ning.
A major pillar of Jingguo, he is now sixty years old, his temples are slightly frosted, but his figure can still vaguely show the splendor of his youth.
"Qing'er is back? You weren't stationed in Langshan, so why did you suddenly turn back?" Xu Ning said with a smile, looking helplessly at his third son, whom he loved most.
If it hadn't been for Ye Hongxue, I might have been able to have a grandson, right?
Xu Qing bowed and saluted: "I came back to see my father. I have something else to tell my father."
After listening to his son's words, Xu Ning's expression gradually became serious: "How could you be so impulsive!"
Xu Qing's eyes were vicious and he said in a hateful voice: "As long as it's about Ye Hongxue, I want to tear it into pieces. If it weren't for her, how could I have become as indifferent as that eunuch and eunuch!"
Xu Ning was speechless, and after a while he sighed deeply: "That's all, my father will mediate this matter. What's the name of the person you put in prison?"
"The child didn't ask. I only knew that his surname was Zhao, and he must have a close relationship with Ye Hongxue, otherwise Ye Hongxue wouldn't have rushed back to Langshan in such a hurry."
Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his father speak. After all, there were not many people who could compete with Ye Hongxue in Jingguo Court.
Xu Ning said helplessly: "You can stay at home with peace of mind during this period, and don't make this kind of mistake again in the future. Ye Hongxue is young and has extremely high martial arts skills, and is deeply trusted by His Majesty."
"This girl will definitely be the pillar of our Jingguo in the future. My father doesn't want you to target her again and again because of your personal grudges. Otherwise, when my father is gone in the future, she will touch you and no one can stop her! do you understand?"
Xu Qing was still a little unwilling in his heart, but he also knew the truth of what his father said, so he could only nod his head dullly.
But for now, as long as everything goes well this time, everything else is easy to talk about.
When Xu Qing learned that Ye Hongxue was riding a snow shadow horse day and night to Langshan Mountain, although he didn't say it on the surface, he was really panicked.
After all, this was the first time he saw Ye Hongxue act so vigorously and resolutely. If he said he was not afraid, it would be a lie, so he hurriedly fled back to Huajing City.
But he didn't know that even if he had his father, the Protector Xu Ning, as his backer, he wouldn't be able to protect him this time.
