General Kangnan returned to his bedroom with great interest. This room was obviously specially built. It was covered with pink gauze everywhere, and even the light shined through, giving it an ambiguous atmosphere.
The beauty in the room was already waiting for him.
The beauty was rolled up in layers of pink quilts and placed on his bed, just like the emperor summoning his concubines.
Kang Nan pulled down the quilt covering the beauty's face, and he was satisfied with the beauty's appearance.
"Your name is Xiaoxue, but you have a pretty face."
The beauty under the quilt is clearly Qin Xuezhen.
Qin Xuezhen looked shy, and when he spoke again, his voice almost softened into water, and Kang Nan's whole body went numb in an instant.
"Thank you for the compliment, General. It's a great honor for Xiaoxue to be able to serve the General today."
Kangnan smiled and opened the quilt bit by bit, as if he was opening a long-awaited gift.
"The name is nice and the person is beautiful. I like it very much!"
However, the moment the quilt was opened, a puff of smoke hit his face, and Kangnan was unable to move before he could react.
"Well!"
At this time, Kang Nan only felt that his body was stiff, and Qin Xuezhen turned over under his gaze.
After fussing for a long time, she was still wearing clothes under the quilt. Kangnan couldn't help but feel annoyed. The group of people below were really getting lazy and couldn't even do such a small thing.
"Who are you? What do you want to do after sneaking in? Do you want to assassinate this general? I'm warning you, even if you kill this general, you will not be able to escape today!"
Qin Xuezhen smiled slightly, turned around and clapped her hands and soon a man in black rushed in from the back window.
The other party took off his hijab, and it was obvious that he was Tang Xicheng who was being chased by him a few days ago.
"General Kangnan, we haven't seen each other for several days. You didn't expect that I am still alive!"
The moment he saw Tangxi City, Kangnan knew that he might be doomed today.
But this man was so cunning that he suddenly had an idea and came up with a way to save himself.
"His Royal Highness the City King! Why are you here? My subordinates heard that you came here and have been looking for you for many days!"
At this time, Kangnan's body was stiff and could not move at all, but the eagerness on his face could not be faked.
This moment made Qin Xuezhen confused. Wasn't Tiantangxi City still hunted by him two days ago?
It stands to reason that he should be very scared when he sees Tang Xicheng now. Why is he reacting like this?
"General Kang, you are doing one thing in front of others and the other in reverse, which makes me fearful!"
At this time, Kang Nan acted foolishly, with a face of ignorance, and asked hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, what do you mean by this? I can't understand. I have always been loyal to your mother's family! "
Tangxicheng may not understand the methods Kang Nan used, but killing him right now will serve no purpose other than venting his anger. It is better to keep him and maybe use him a little.
So he also pretended to act, sighed deeply and said: "General Kangnan, I went to your house to discuss with you a few days ago, but as a result, I was poisoned before I even saw you. I almost died, and after escaping from your house, I was chased all the way. Don’t tell me, you don’t know any of this.”
Hearing this, Kangnan sighed guiltily, with a look of annoyance on his face.
"Your Majesty the City King, this subordinate did not know about this matter before, and only found out about it in recent days! But this matter really has nothing to do with this subordinate, it was all done by a counselor next to him."
"Now my subordinates have killed him. However, at that time, my subordinates only thought that someone was impostering, so they have been sending people to search for him these days. This is definitely not a pursuit."
These words can only be used to deceive children, and Kangnan really has no hope that these words will make Tang Xicheng let him go.
But Kangnan knew very well that the private soldiers he raised and the weapons he forged were all in his hands now.
Tangxi City has no power and no manpower, so it will definitely need itself.
As long as you survive today, you can plan for the future in the long term.
Kangnan was not wrong in his bet, and Tang Xicheng chose to believe his lies.
"I see. It seems that I have really misunderstood General Kang. Please ask General Kang to take the antidote."
When Tang Xicheng said this, he looked at Qin Xuezhen with subtle eyes, and Qin Xuezhen instantly understood what he meant and took out a pill from his arms.
Of course Kangnan didn't dare to take the medicine, but Qin Xue couldn't help but opened his mouth and threw it in.
"General Kang, this medicine is an antidote, but it is also a poison. If you are loyal to His Highness, it will certainly not do anything, but if you have second thoughts, this medicine will guarantee that you will regret coming to this world."
When he said this, Qin Xuezhen was as stable as a mountain on the outside, but he was roaring crazily in his heart.
[Wow, is this what it feels like to be a heroine? After traveling through time for so long, I finally experienced the intrigue in the novel, and the feeling of toying with others. It’s so comfortable! 】
[Remind the host that you are the heroine! ] The voice of the system came out at an inappropriate time: [The character of the heroine must be true, kind, beautiful, strong and independent. 】
This sentence instantly dampened Qin Xue's interest, and he immediately gave up his mind, not wanting to say another word to the system at all.
Kangnan, who was detoxified, stood up and knelt in front of Tang Xicheng.
"My subordinate Kang Nan has met His Royal Highness the City King!"
Tang Xicheng leaned over slightly and helped the person up.
"General Kang, there is no need to be polite. Right now, I am just a down-and-out prince, and I am not worthy of your courtesy."
At this time, Kang Nan pretended to be upright, shook his head decisively, and insisted on kneeling.
"No, if it hadn't been for the help of His Royal Highness the City King's mother's family, Kangnan wouldn't be where he is today, let alone become a general."
What he said was correct. His position was quite special. He was both a military commander and a civil servant.
Because he was guarding two iron mines, which were completely managed by civil servants, it would be difficult to build good weapons without understanding the battlefield.
But as a military commander, his duty is not to fight or defend. Instead, he hides in a comfortable town to mine ore.
But it is such a special position that shows how much effort Tang Xicheng's grandfather worked to get him such an honorable position in a foreign country.
"Okay, I know General Kangnan's loyalty. Now I ask you, what is the annual iron output of these two iron mines?"
Tangxi City would ask this, obviously it already knew how much iron had been supplied over the years.
Now he doesn't want to know the actual amount of iron produced, but he wants to know how many weapons were built.
"Your Highness does not know that the amount of iron supplied to the imperial court every year is only 30% of the actual production."
