Listening to Zhao Kang's answer, Ye Hongxue was so angry that her blood surged up.
I just feel cheated!
She is Ye Hongxue, the female goddess of martial arts in Jingguo. Even in Jingguo where men are respected, she is as proud as a phoenix.
The man from Jingguo couldn't lift his head under the suppressed light.
Her beautiful eyes gradually turned cold, and Ye Hongxue said: "What a joke, how can I, Ye Hongxue, be the same as her!"
Precisely because she was born in Jingguo, where men were superior to women, Ye Hongxue was determined to change this situation.
At this moment, she was extremely angry and disappointed, and the bright red blood seeping out from the corners of her mouth could not be suppressed. Zhao Kang looked at it with great worry and hurriedly took a step forward.
"Red snow."
"Don't come over!" Ye Hongxue shouted sternly.
Zhao Kang quickly stopped and did not dare to step forward. Looking at him, Ye Hongxue closed her eyes and sighed.
No wonder Xiao Linglong reacted like that when she found out about her relationship with Zhao Kang.
She opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Kang, and asked with difficulty: "I'm asking you now, you can only choose one of us."
Zhao Kang smiled bitterly: "Will you listen to me?"
"Answer me." Ye Hongxue said coldly.
Zhao Kang was speechless, and after a moment he could only say: "I can't let anyone go, I want both you and her!"
"Master Zhao, what a daydream."
With a sad smile, Ye Hongxue turned around and closed her eyes and shed two lines of tears, forcibly suppressing the sorrow in her heart.
"The enemy is attacking every night during this period. We will go to defend outside the pass, and the rear will be left to Zhao Guoshi."
"Hongxue!" Zhao Kang cried heartbrokenly.
"Master National Preceptor, please respect yourself, and let us clear up all the grudges between you and me. If you are still thinking about the past, from now on, don't forget that I, Da Jing, are still allies of the Qian Kingdom."
After finishing her words, Ye Hongxue turned around and walked away, leaving two lines of crystal clear and falling heavily to the ground, leaving Zhao Kang at a loss.
This is such a mess!
He never thought that Ye Hongxue's reaction would be so violent.
This caught him a little off guard.
After a while, Ye Hongxue rushed to the outside of the pass with the remaining five thousand soldiers and horses in Tongzhou City.
Zhao Kang could only watch her go away, and returned to the room in despair.
Seeing his distracted look, Xiao Linglong guessed what happened and carefully poked the back of his hand with her finger.
After coming back to his senses, Zhao Kang reluctantly smiled and held Xiao Linglong's hand: "She can't accept it."
"She saved my life, and she was the first to lead troops to help Qianguo. Don't let her down."
Xiao Linglong said softly, and Zhao Kang realized that he was wrong.
He had also considered how to tell Her Majesty the Empress and Ye Hongxue before.
I thought Xiao Linglong was the one I couldn't accept. After all, she is the king of a country and has a high status.
However, I didn't expect that Xiao Linglong, who was strong on the outside and soft on the inside, but wanted to be an ordinary woman in her heart, was not too intense.
On the contrary, Ye Hongxue has a posture of staying away from each other until the end of time, if it weren't for the current critical war situation.
Zhao Kang felt that she would return to Jingguo immediately and never see him again.
"I understand, don't worry."
Zhao Kang nodded, feeling full of guilt for Ye Hongxue, but he still cheered up.
"When your injury is better, I will ask Manager Feng to send you back."
Xiao Linglong hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
Zhao Kang then said: "But, we are going back to Yuanjiang County, and you two are the only ones going back."
Xiao Linglong was puzzled.
Zhao Kangdao: "The trap you fell into this time was most likely designed by someone in the court. Your injury has not healed. It is too dangerous to return to the imperial capital like this. I can't worry about it."
"Could it be Prince Ning's hand?" Xiao Linglong asked a little lonely.
These days, she was also thinking about the whole process, but she didn't want to believe that it would be her own uncle who would harm her.
Zhao Kang sighed: "There is a possibility. Prince Ning has always done things without leaving any clues. I am not sure that it was him who did it until there is evidence."
"I'll listen to you."
Xiao Linglong nodded, and then asked worriedly: "Then do you want to stay here?"
Zhao Kangdao: "Yes, I can only stay in Tongzhou. Even if I go back, Zhao Jinsheng and Lin Yu will not agree. They want me to die here."
"These two bastards!" Xiao Linglong couldn't help but get angry.
Zhao Kang smiled and said: "It's okay, they probably don't have the courage to do anything now, otherwise I will kill them both."
"You must be careful. That person even designs on me, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you."
"I see."
Just when Zhao Kang was troubled by things.
There are also people in the imperial capital who are restless.
After Lin Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was busy with today's affairs, he came to the Taifu's residence to meet with Zhao Jinsheng.
"Taifu, now that Zhao Gouchi has gone to Tongzhou, should we take action?"
Lin Yu's eyes flashed with ferocity: "This time, he must die in Tongzhou!"
"There's no need to rush for now, we'll wait for the battle report." Zhao Jinsheng smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Lin Yu was confused: "Battle report?"
"right."
Zhao Jinsheng smiled and said: "I have read the recent battle reports these days. Our army has suffered heavy losses and can only defend Tongzhou, relying on black powder for defense, so that the Zhou and Qi countries dare not act rashly."
"But when your Majesty goes on an expedition, he doesn't carry much black powder. I guess it won't be long before we run out of gunpowder."
Lin Yu's eyes were ferocious: "What do you mean, Tutor, by tampering with the transportation of gunpowder so that Zhao Kang can't get support?"
"wrong."
Zhao Jinsheng snorted coldly: "The transportation of gunpowder is a joint operation of your Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. The guy named Li will not be careless about this matter. It is impossible for you to slow down the transportation speed."
Lin Yu was puzzled: "What should we do?"
"Don't worry, I have my own plan."
Zhao Jinsheng sneered: "Zhao Kang is a genius in the world. He might be able to win this battle with this black gunpowder, so I will let him die on this basis!"
Five days later.
After a period of recovery, Xiao Linglong was barely able to go to the ground.
Zhao Kang put his coat on her, changed her outfit, and said: "You have a lot of trauma on your body, don't forget to drink medicine when you go back. Also, when you get to Yuanjiang County, ask Zhang Long to get you some allicin to take.
Avoid wound infection."
"You must not return to the Imperial Capital until your injury has healed. Wait for my good news."
Xiao Linglong nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of reluctance: "Then you must come back safely."
"That's for sure." Zhao Kang smiled.
Holding the hand of Her Majesty the Empress, the two of them walked out of the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. The eunuch chief Feng Bao had already prepared the carriage.
After helping Xiao Linglong get into the car, Zhao Kang looked at Feng Bao and said, "Please take care of me, Mr. Manager."
"Don't worry, Sir Imperial Master, our family will definitely send His Majesty to Yuanjiang County safely." Feng Bao nodded.
Watching the carriage go away, Zhao Kang called for the leaders of the three thousand imperial guards.
"Assemble the army and follow me to the outside of the pass!"
