"Imperial envoy? Why don't you report in the morning?"
Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, then stood up, straightened the snowflakes on his clothes, and walked out of the door immediately.
"This imperial envoy came very quickly. We don't know how he came suddenly."
Wang Tianyou said with a grimace.
"Forget it, let's go meet him for a while."
Hear this.
Wang Ke's feet paused.
However, after a second thought, he took a step forward and walked forward.
"The lower official Gao Junya has met the Marquis!"
Come outside the city.
Wang Ke entered the post.
As soon as I walked into the main hall of the hotel.
A thin young scribe wearing a green robe bowed his hands in salute.
"You are the imperial envoy?"
Wang Ke returned the salute and asked.
"Reporting to the Marquis, this official is not only an imperial envoy, but also the newly appointed governor of Youzhou."
The scribe who called himself Gao Junya smiled and while talking, he took out an edict from his arms and presented it with both hands.
"Since it is a long history, why didn't any eunuch from the court come to issue the decree?"
Wang Ke took the edict and looked through it casually. After confirming that it was indeed the seal stamped by the emperor and the king of Jin, he asked.
"Nowadays, there are many political affairs. It was the lower official who proposed to the King of Jin that there was no need for eunuchs to pass down the decree, and that the lower official could bring it personally."
Gao Junya laughed and replied.
Say it.
He turned around, took a package from the entourage who was following him, and handed it to Wang Ke.
"A few days ago, His Highness the King of Jin heard that the Marquis dug out a piece of stone in Youzhou and wrote the words "loyalty and righteousness for thousands of years". He was very happy, so he gave him this set of armor. He also hoped that the Marquis could wear this armor and protect the country. , to become the Jade Pillar of Optimism and the Golden Beam across the Sea of the Sui Dynasty!"
Gao Junya held the package, sent it to Wang Ke, and said.
"Thank you so much, King Jin!"
Upon hearing this.
Wang Ke's face showed joy.
Immediately, he cupped his fists and took the package containing the armor.
Subsequently.
Wang Tianyou placed the package on the table and opened it gently.
I saw a set of armor lying quietly inside, which was the Purple Gold Heavenly King Armor, the Splendid Red Robe, the Beast Face White Jade Belt, and the Black Gold Lion Helmet.
"Nice armor!"
See this set of equipment.
Wang Ke's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
He said involuntarily.
"This set of armor was polished by the prison guards day and night. It really shows the good intentions of King Jin!"
Gao Junya stroked his beard and said slowly.
"Don't you know what King Jin has ordered?"
Wang Ke nodded slightly and turned to ask Gao Junya.
Gao Junya said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. How about discussing it with the Marquis after the subordinates have taken care of their duties?"
Wang Ke heard this, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Hahahaha! I forgot, Brother Gao is the governor of Youzhou, why are you talking here? Come on, come with me into the city!"
As he spoke, Wang Ke arranged for Wang Tianyou to deploy troops and horses and clear the way into the city.
Not long after.
Under the escort of many armored cavalry.
Gao Junya and Wang Ke walked side by side and slowly entered Youzhou City.
Enter the city.
Gao Junya immediately met many of his subordinates.
That night.
Wang Ke has prepared a banquet to welcome Gao Junya, but let's not mention such social activities for the time being.
Returned to the study.
Wang Ke had just sat down when Xu Maogong had already arrived in the room.
"My lord, what is the background of this new governor of Youzhou?"
Xu Maogong frowned slightly and asked hesitantly.
Wang Ke drank a cup of sobering tea, raised his head, looked at Xu Maogong, and asked: "What do you think of the world's achievements?"
Xu Maogong said: "During the banquet, this person frequently asked you about the military equipment under your command. I'm afraid he came prepared."
After hearing this, Wang Ke smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry too much about your achievements... He is just the governor of Youzhou, how can he interfere in the affairs of Jizhou, Pingzhou and Yunzhou? What's more, now in the northern border, What makes King Jin even more wary is not me, but the King of Peking who has hundreds of thousands of troops."
Xu Maogong asked: "Could it be that the King of Jin wants to use my lord as a sword to attack the King of Peking?"
Wang Ke waved his hand and said: "It's not like that now... This Gao Junya's coming to Youzhou is at most a nail placed here by King Jin... We can do our daily business as usual, don't go too far. Deliberately.”
actually.
He didn't say anything yet.
Even if King Yang Guang of Jin wants to get rid of King Beiping, the rebellion that is about to break out in Nanyang City will slow him down.
When he can free his hands.
Wang Ke himself may already have the strength to compete with Luo Yi.
Hear this.
Xu Maogong nodded slightly, and the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared.
immediately.
He bowed deeply to Wang Ke, said goodbye and left.
After Xu Maogong leaves.
Wang Ke also stood up and went out to the study.
"Master, where will you rest tonight?"
Just came to the courtyard.
Zhang Chuchen, a red-haired girl wearing a red cloak, had already arrived and asked softly.
Some days ago.
Just after Wang Ke obtained Shi Jie and Si unlike, he took advantage of the momentum of double happiness and successfully brought the black and white Shu into the room.
Since then, the black and white sisters have become Wang Ke's two wives.
"Let's rest in the east chamber tonight."
Wang Ke looked at Hong Fu Nu with soft eyes.
"ah……"
When Hongfu Nu heard this, her body trembled, and two blushes suddenly appeared on her face.
"yes!"
soon.
She nodded slightly and led Wang Ke to the east wing.
open the door.
The room suddenly became filled with spring scenery, which made people intoxicated...
An hour later.
Hongfunu lay in Wang Ke's arms, her face full of shyness.
Wang Ke hugged Hongfu Nu and asked casually: "I'm going to Daxing City in a few days. Can you come with me?"
Hongfu Nu raised her head, looked at Wang Ke with misty eyes, and asked: "Master Hou wants to go to Daxing City in person?"
Wang Ke said: "Exactly! Yue Gong is my benefactor. In a few days it will be the Lantern Festival and Yue Gong's birthday, so naturally I will go."
Hearing this, the Hongfu girl smiled sweetly, leaned her head gently on Wang Ke's shoulder, and said, "Yes! Then Hongfu will go with the Marquis."
…
some time after that.
Gao Junya wandered around with his subordinates to check the situation in various places in Youzhou.
Wang Ke saw this, but did not do much to organize. Instead, he asked Fang Xuanling and others to actively cooperate and not to neglect the new Chang Shi.
This way.
Gao Junya was very grateful to Wang Ke.
The relationship between the two of them is becoming more and more harmonious.
In the blink of an eye.
Another half month passed.
During this half month.
Wang Ke focused on preparing gifts to celebrate Yang Su's birthday.
but.
Fortunately, Hongfu Nu helped.
Wang Ke figured out Yang Su's preferences very accurately and prepared very generous gifts.
soon.
Under the arrangement of the Shijia brothers caravan.
The date for Wang Ke and others to go to Daxing City has arrived.
He left Youzhou with Hong Funu and Wang Tianyou, as well as a dozen elite cavalrymen disguised as servants, and headed towards Daxing City.
From Youzhou to Daxing City.
It has to pass through many important towns such as Cangzhou, Jizhou, Beizhou, and Xiangzhou.
Wang Ke stopped and walked along the way. After about three or four days, everyone finally arrived at the junction of Zhaozhou and Jizhou.
At this time.
The cold wind howled.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Ke led everyone to the edge of Jizhou City and found a dilapidated inn to stay. He asked the waiter to bring hot wine and hot water for everyone to rest.
When the waiter in the shop saw Wang Ke's generous spending, he naturally tried his best to flatter him.
Not a moment longer.
A jar of hot wine was brought.
Bottles of hot water were brought in.
Everyone was in the hall, drinking wine, eating meat, washing hands and keeping warm.
However.
Right now.
A steady sound of horse hooves came from outside the inn door from far to near, and finally stopped at the door.
Immediately afterwards.
The door of the inn opened with a creak.
A burly man braved the cold wind and walked in with his head held high.
As soon as he entered the inn, his eyes fell on Wang Ke and asked, "Why is Brother Wang here?"
