"Haha..." The emperor suddenly laughed and said loudly: "Ministers, don't worry, our number one scholar is not simple. He can rule the country with his literary skills, and he can stabilize the country with his military skills. Don't underestimate him!"

Everyone was silent for a while, fearing that Zhou Rong, like Xi Yao, might have some extraordinary status.

If they didn't cooperate, the queen naturally couldn't embarrass the emperor, so she smiled and cooperated: "What does this mean, your emperor? Is it possible that our number one scholar has other abilities?"

"No," the emperor said happily: "The war with the Nanliang Kingdom was stalemate for a long time. It was our champion who led people deep into the enemy camp and set fire to the granary, which cut off the Nanliang Kingdom's retreat. Do a great job!”

"This merit should be rewarded based on merit, but the number one scholar is determined to be the imperial examination, so I just have to press it. But everyone can rest assured about the ability of the number one scholar!"

The emperor's guarantee made those who blocked it feel like they were seeing a ghost.

Where did this couple come from, why did they act so abnormally?

You are a weak scholar, you just need to take the imperial examination well, why are you trying to gain military glory?

As the wife of a top scholar, why don't you just stay in the back house? Why? You know everything?

How can we all get along well with you like this?

Everyone was filled with resentment. Xi Yao and Zhou Rong blushed when the emperor praised them, but they didn't feel any discomfort at all...

It's all their fault. There's nothing embarrassing about blushing.

After the two people revealed their identities, many people had complicated thoughts.

I originally thought that the two of them were the best to bully Bronze, but I didn't expect that the two of them were the kings. Not only could they not be bullied, they could not be moved.

After a palace banquet, some people were happy and some were tired.

Xi Yao and Zhou Rong came out with Princess Ning's family.

This deprived many people who wanted to talk to them and have a conversation with them that they didn't have the chance.

On the carriage, Princess Ning's family and Zhou Rong and his wife were both there. The carriage was big enough for five people.

"You must be more careful when leaving Beijing this time," Prince Ning reminded: "What the Emperor wants most is to thoroughly investigate how many people from each family have reached out to the north!"

Xi Yao and Zhou Rong looked at each other, feeling bad in their hearts.

This is not the road to promotion and wealth. This is the road to hell!

Among all the families, who has the longest hands?

"Prince Ning, isn't your Majesty asking my fourth brother to go to the north to poke holes in the sky?" Xi Yao said with a bit of a bad look on his face.

The north, even if the emperor wants to protect it, it is beyond our reach!

Moreover, the emperor did not trust others, so he sent Zhou Rong there who had no powerful backer...

Why do you think this is to give someone away?

"Haha..." Prince Ning was amused by her appearance and said jokingly: "Don't worry, the emperor cherishes talents and won't let anything happen to your fourth brother!"

He knew Xi Yao's identity, but he didn't expect that when she was in the Anding Marquis' Mansion, she was very indifferent. Now that she left the Anding Marquis' Mansion, it was as if she had become a different person, not even her biological father.

There really isn't anyone good in the Andinghou Mansion.

But having such courage is not easy.

Xi Yao was not comforted, but said resentfully: "If the emperor had a way to solve the problem in the north, he would not let my fourth brother go!"

The emperor just wanted to find someone to stir up the troubled waters in the north, and Zhou Rong was the best candidate.

As for life and death...

It may be important, it may not be important!

This is the brutal power struggle!

"You," King Ning smiled and shook his head and said, "This is a real misunderstanding of the Emperor. How could the Emperor send the number one scholar to sacrifice? Don't you know that General Jiang Muyuan is stationed in the north to guard the most important Yunnan in Daqian? Beicheng'?"

"Jiang Muyuan?" Xi Yao couldn't help but be startled when he heard the unfamiliar name.

"Yes, General Jiang Muyuan," King Ning sighed and said, "Except for him, the rest of the Jiang family either died on the battlefield or died of illness. He is the only one left. In the past ten years, he has not Back to Beijing, no wonder you didn’t know!”

"Then will he help us?" Zhou Rong asked.

When you are away, you don’t have to obey your orders!

"He has a life-long relationship with the Qiu family!" Prince Ning paused for a moment and then looked at Xi Yao and said, "Your only uncle died on the battlefield in the north. That was something that the general could not face and has been unwilling to return to the capital. reason!"

Xi Yao's expression changed. She didn't expect that she would hear about the Qiu family.

Zhou Rong secretly held her hand...

Princess Ning saw their little moves and smiled.

"Ah Yao," she called softly, and when Xi Yao looked at her, he said meaningfully: "After arriving in Yunbei City, you should go to see the general as soon as possible. Maybe there will be a surprise over there. waiting for you!"

These words made Xi Yao and Zhou Rong look at each other in confusion. Even Prince Ning looked at Princess Ning in confusion, trying to figure out the meaning of her words.

"What's the surprise?" Princess Huairui couldn't help but ask.

Princess Ning enigmatically said: "Secret!"

"Concubine, you are too appetizing!" the princess first protested.

"That's not what you should be asking about!"

After being warned, Princess Huairui immediately withered.

Saying this in front of Prince Ning, Xi Yao felt that even if she asked, Princess Ning would not explain it.

She felt that the secret Princess Ning told was related to her life experience.

Otherwise, there is nothing that can impress her now.

However, she felt that this might not be a surprise!

"I only hope that the general can listen to the emperor and do his best to protect us after we arrive in the north!" Xi Yao said in a low voice.

As for life experience, as Zhou Rong said, whether he is her biological child or not, there is no need for her to care about anyone who doesn't care about her.

It is enough for her to have Zhou Rong.

"In the current situation, the general is not that kind of person. Moreover, the situation in Yunbei City is more complicated than you think. The general hopes to stabilize it more than anyone else!" Prince Ning sighed.

Xi Yao originally didn't know what was going on there.

No matter how smart she is, she only has the memories of her past life and doesn't understand Daqian's situation thoroughly enough, because no one will tell her if she asks.

Zhou Rong knew more about this than she did.

After saying goodbye to Prince Ning's family and returning home, Xi Yao learned from Zhou Rong that the complexity of Yunbei City was that it was the junction of the Three Kingdoms.

In other words, Yunbeicheng faces border defenses from the two countries.

As long as you can't hold on, you will become someone else's prey and be slaughtered by others.

"This is also the reason why the general has not been able to return to Beijing for many years!" Zhou Rong said.

Xi Yao didn't want to think about the opposite, especially at this time, so she said lightly: "Even if we know that he is sincerely patriotic, we still have to take our own people there!"

This is just in case!
