I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Chen Qingyun was being carried by Jiang Zuo at this moment. Seeing Qiuyue and the other guards looking at him with such strange eyes, he suddenly became anxious and immediately ordered: "Qiuyue, carry me!"

Qiuyue put away that strange look, stepped forward quickly, and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Zuo did not let go and said, "Your young lady has sprained her ankle, so let me carry her. It would be hard for you, a woman, to carry her, but I am fine."

You, Jiang Zuo, are taking advantage!

Chen Qingyun felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Qiuyue saw this and took a breath.

This Jiang Zuo is truly fearless...

"What about the young lady?"

Qiuyue still has to wait for His Majesty's instructions.

"You come!"

Chen Qingyun gritted his teeth and said softly.

But before Qiuyue took over, Jiang Zuo was carrying Chen Qingyun all the way to the carriage.

"Miss Siyue, wait a moment, the carriage is just ahead."

Jiang Zuo said silently, hugging Chen Qingyun's legs tightly.

This feeling is so good, so good.

At this moment, Chen Qingyun has already planned Jiang Zuo's second half of life and lower body.

It seems that the term Eunuch Jiang is more suitable for Jiangzuo.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo didn't care at all.

His steps were extremely slow, and he turned his head from time to time to observe Chen Qingyun's expression.

"Master Jiang, you can let me go now."

Chen Qingyun said again.

"It's just ahead."

Jiang Zuo said.

Soon, the two came to the carriage.

Jiang Zuo slowly put Chen Qingyun down, then took Chen Qingyun's hand and prepared to help her into the carriage.

At this time, Qiuyue finally rushed forward and said, "Master Jiang, please ride away on your horse, and let me take care of the young lady."

Jiang Zuo nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Siyue, where do you live? I'll send the trauma medicine to you later."

"We haven't found a place to live yet."

Chen Qingyun walked onto the carriage and answered.

Jiang Zuo suggested: "Why don't you just stay at my house? I have a lot of empty rooms there anyway, and I live alone. Don't worry, I won't charge you for accommodation."

"Miss?"

Qiuyue turned around and waited for Chen Qingyun's response.

Chen Qingyun was silent for a moment before answering, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Master Jiang."

"No big deal, let's go."

Jiang Zuo said, feeling happy in his heart.

Qiuyue opened the curtain of the carriage and got in.

"Hey, miss, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so rosy?"

"eventful!"

Chen Qingyun scolded softly.

Qiuyue chuckled inwardly and remained silent, as if she understood everything.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at Jiangzuo Mansion, and Chen Qingyun walked in with Qiuyue's support.

As soon as he entered, Chen Qingyun was attracted by the luxury of Jiangzuo Mansion.

The courtyard garden has a unique style.

Walking into the living room, you will see various golden cups, colored glazes, ancient paintings and calligraphy.

If compared with the imperial palace, it is not far behind.

This Jiang Zuo really doesn't hide anything.

As a county magistrate, life is not simple.

But Jiang Zuo has already proved that the source of his wealth is completely legal business.

Chen Qingyun couldn't make trouble at this moment.

Under Jiang Zuo's arrangement, Chen Qingyun and Qiuyue moved in separately, while the other guards and attendants were arranged to stay in the inn outside.

After a while, Jiang Zuo took out a bottle of iron medicine and knocked on Chen Qingyun's door.

It was Qiuyue who opened the door.

"Master Jiang, what's the matter?"

Qiuyue asked.

Jiang Zuo handed the medicinal wine over and said, "This is a strong external injury medicine. Just apply it to the wound and rub it gently."

"Then thank you, Master Jiang."

Qiuyue replied, closing the door casually.

She returned to Chen Qingyun, bent down, and prepared to apply medicine to the empress, muttering to herself, "This Lord Jiang is still gentle and considerate enough..."

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun frowned slightly, and said with a hint of anger and a smile: "Do you want me to give him to you as your husband?"

Qiuyue quickly shook her head and said, "I dare not, Miss has a heart."

She had served Chen Qingyun for many years and knew when the empress was really angry, so she dared to make this joke.

Chen Qingyun's gaze stayed on the bottle of medicinal wine, and some strange images kept flashing through his mind.

"What's wrong with me? I came to Anding County to do some serious business..."

She said silently in her heart.

……

The next day.

Chenshi.

The morning light shines through the eaves and onto the door of Jiang Zuo's room.

There were a few more guests in the mansion, and Jiang Zuo was still not used to it. He got up early and looked towards that room.

Instead of waiting for Chen Qingyun to show up, he received an imperial edict.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Now when he heard the word "imperial edict", Jiang Zuo felt inexplicably panicked.

Absolutely nothing good!

Jiang Zuo knelt down to receive the order.

All I heard was the man who read the imperial edict saying, "The disaster relief work in Jizhou, Jiangzuo has yielded fruitful results. I am very satisfied with it. I have sent someone to deliver the reward to Anding County..."

When Jiang Zuo first heard this, he was quite surprised, thinking that the empress had suddenly changed her personality.

But the next moment, he couldn't be happy anymore.

"Besides that, there is one more thing. Winter is coming, and the barbarians from the northern desert will definitely move south. At that time, the northern border of Great Yan will suffer a large number of foreign invasions. I appoint you as the General of the Northern Frontier of Daizhou, responsible for resisting the barbarians from moving south, eliminating the main force of the barbarians, and defending the Great Yan."

Come again?

Jiang Zuo looked unhappy when he heard the contents of the imperial edict.

What kind of hard job is this word "Zhenbei"?

"The minister accepts the order!"

Jiang Zuo gritted his teeth but started cursing in his heart.

"Didn't this damn emperor say that after the disaster relief was completed, I could be a small county official in peace? Why is he ordering me to kill the barbarians now? He is trying to use me like a donkey! Even the donkey at the entrance of the village is not that diligent!"

Jiang Zuo suddenly felt that he had been deceived, but because the other party was the empress of the current dynasty, who was indeed quite powerful, he did not dare to provoke her.

"No! Absolutely not!"

This time, Jiang Zuo will not compromise at all.

The last time he went to Yecheng, Jiang Zuo almost lost his life. This time, he has not been back in Anding County for a short time and he is about to take up the post again. Jiang Zuo will definitely not agree.

"Sir, I also have a memorial to present to His Majesty. Please wait a moment."

Jiang Zuo suddenly said.

The eunuch who was reading the imperial edict stopped at this moment and waited silently for Jiang Zuo.

After a while, Jiang Zuo returned to the room and picked up the pen: "Your Majesty, I am absolutely incapable of taking on this position as the General of Zhenbei. Before this, the barbarians from the grasslands invaded Anding County many times. These cavalrymen came and went like the wind, and I was helpless and overwhelmed. I am just a small county magistrate. I don't have the courage of a military officer, and I don't have military strategy. I really can't take on this important position. Your Majesty, please find someone else!"

After writing, he handed the letter to the eunuch, then walked to the pavilion with a satisfied look on his face, silently looking at the room where Chen Qingyun was.

Little did he know that Chen Qingyun had been silently looking at Jiang Zuo through the gap in the window.

Jiang Zuo could never have imagined that the reply letter he submitted would reach His Majesty in less than a moment...
