Seeing Ye Hongxue's eyes, Wu Rulong couldn't laugh or cry, "I was the one who saved you after all. Why do you look so disappointed?"
Ye Hongxue hurriedly spoke, her voice a little weak: "No, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Come on, why do you think it's not worth it when you see me sitting here instead of Zhao Kang?" Wu Rulong smiled.
Ye Hongxue shook his head and wanted to say something, but Wu Rulong said: "Don't hide it, I watched you grow up, and I also taught you a martial arts. Although a monarch and his ministers are more like father and daughter, I can't see what your thoughts are.
come out?"
The woman was silent, Wu Rulong was right.
She was indeed watched by Wu Rulong as she grew up. At that time, Wu Rulong had not yet ascended the throne, but was traveling around the world.
Seeing that she was alone and helpless, only four or five years old, he felt pity for her, so he took her as his disciple and took her with him.
But Wu Rulong never expected that Ye Hongxue's martial arts talent was so amazing. It took him fifteen years to practice to the third level, and he constantly challenged and defeated all the major masters in the arena.
Then he was summoned to the palace as an official and held the high position of a general as a woman.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the two are father and daughter.
Therefore, even though many ministers in the court dislike Ye Hongxue, her status has always been as stable as Mount Tai.
Wu Rulong picked up a piece of fruit and peeled it, without looking at Ye Hongxue, and said to himself: "Zhao Kang is still standing outside at the moment. The reason why I didn't let him in is because I have something to say to you."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Ye Hongxue said quickly.
Wu Rulong: "As a minister, you have already betrayed me, so don't rush to refute."
He glanced at Ye Hongxue, who was about to explain, and peeled the fruit in his hand: "Whether it's Xu Qing's matter, or Li Muqing and Liu Hanlong being killed by Zhao Kang, these two matters are top priority. But you don't care at all.
Reveal it to me."
"Based on this alone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to behead you."
A look of guilt flashed across Ye Hongxue's face, and she closed her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have let you down."
Wu Rulong said softly: "Kings, fathers and ministers have been saying this since ancient times. But how many people can really do it? So I am very disappointed with you this time, but..."
When the conversation changed, Wu Rulong smiled and said: "You still have good taste. As your master, I am very satisfied with the person you have chosen. Zhao Kang is qualified to be the master's son-in-law."
"What did your Majesty say?"
Ye Hongxue opened her eyes suddenly and her pretty face flushed: "Zhao Kang and I have nothing to do."
Wu Rulong was stunned: "So you don't like that kid at all? That's weird, then why are you resisting today? This damn bastard actually caused my good disciple to be like this, okay!"
"Disciple, you lie down. Master, go out and slap him to death!"
Wu Rulong stood up and Ye Hongxue said quickly: "Your Majesty, you don't want it!"
"What are you doing? Feeling distressed?" Wu Rulong smiled playfully.
Ye Hongxue's face turned redder and she shook her head quickly: "No, he is the national master of Qian Kingdom and cannot be killed. And he is useful to our country, Jing Kingdom!"
"So this is ah."
Wu Rulong suddenly realized: "It seems that I misunderstood. I guess Zhao Kang just has unrequited love."
Ye Hongxue was confused: "What...what unrequited love?"
Wu Rulong didn't seem to care and took a bite of the peeled fruit: "Just a few hours ago, your injury was so serious that I could only use half of your cultivation to force out the remaining internal energy of others in your body to repair your tendons."
"When Zhao Kang heard this, he was so frightened that he could not speak coherently. He opened his mouth and asked me what he could give me with a pedal spinning wheel, fine salt refining, cement ash, allicin, and so on."
"By the way, you also said that you are willing to send me 10,000 kilograms of black powder every year, the kind of weapons you mentioned, just so that I can save you. Those who don't know may think it's a betrothal gift."
"I didn't say I wouldn't save you. Are you my disciple? But now it seems that that silly boy is just wishful thinking."
Wu Rulong sighed: "Since ancient times, the word "love" has been the most murderous. I didn't expect that a great talent like Zhao Kang would be exempt from the commonality. But, my good disciple, you are so beautiful. Although Zhao Kang is not bad, his appearance is still a bit ordinary."
"Speaking of which, the second brother has been thinking about you all these years. Let's do this. When he comes back, I will marry you two. After you become the princess, I will see who dares to cause trouble for you."
"No, Your Majesty. Did Zhao Kang really promise to send black powder?" Ye Hongxue was shocked.
Wu Rulong clicked his tongue: "Why do you care about this? You don't like him anyway."
"Well, I didn't say I didn't like him... No, I don't like him! Why are you like this, Master~ I don't want to care about you anymore!"
Ye Hongxue became incoherent and couldn't even speak clearly, and finally called out a name he hadn't called in many years.
Wu Rulong laughed: "What? Has the secret been revealed?"
Ye Hongxue didn't know what to say, her pretty face was extremely rosy, and she didn't know if it was because she was shy or something else, so she simply chose to remain silent.
Wu Rulong, however, suppressed his laughter, pulled into a chair and said softly: "Hongxue, master doesn't want to force you. Just give me the right words. It's best if you like Zhao Kang. With you here, he won't do anything to our Jingguo."
I will favor one over the other."
"It's okay if you don't like it. I'll just try to win you over."
Ye Hongxue bit her lip lightly and sighed for the last time: "I don't know either. Anyway, I don't hate Zhao Kang."
"Relationships can be cultivated slowly. This guy is pretty good, talented and he seems to be a caring person. If you follow him..."
Ye Hongxue: "Master, why are you still talking!"
"Okay, I won't tell you. I don't worry about you young people's affairs."
His Majesty Emperor Jing left the ward feeling refreshed. When he opened the door, he saw Zhao Kang sitting under the tree and immediately stood up to greet him.
"How is your Majesty?"
Wu Rulong snorted coldly, "Master Imperial Master, should you also give me an explanation?"
Zhao Kang was silent, and Wu Rulong's voice was cold: "I noticed that Hongxue was injured when he returned to China. She said that he was injured by a weapon called black powder from Qian Kingdom."
"Looking back now, the person who hurt her was the Imperial Preceptor, right? Then the Prince of Zhou and the Prince of Qi also died in the hands of the Imperial Preceptor?!"
Zhao Kang nodded lightly without denying it.
Wu Rulong said angrily: "Okay, let Hongxue do what you did. Do you know she is my apprentice?"
Zhao Kang is surprised. Damn it, when your apprentice asked you to save him just now, you hesitated!
Before he could speak, Wu Rulong snorted coldly: "If Hongxue hadn't begged me not to be so harsh on you, this matter would never have ended! I have never seen Hongxue be so attached to any man! If you dare to betray her in the future,
If you hurt her heart, even if you break the covenant, I, Wu Rulong, will not let you go! When she wakes up, you can go in by yourself."
Zhao Kang was confused, why couldn't he live up to his expectations and feel sad? You should explain it clearly!
Wu Rulong had already left with his hands behind his back, but his face was full of smiles that Zhao Kang could not see.
You don’t need to say too much, just be suitable. I tied the red thread and you, Zhao Kang, want to run away? There is no way!
