Satisfied Female Emperor

Outside of Xunfang Street, the waiter wiped his sweat and said, "Alright, alright, we're out." He truly had the intention of fleeing in panic.

It was raining, too, and there were bits and pieces of stars in the cool of the autumn sky.

Someone was standing at the largest flower house on Xunfang Street and drinking a cup of wine towards the distant carriage. There was a pretty yet playful smile on his face as he said, "Interesting, so interesting."

Not long after the carriage had left, Xue Ji Yun's body moved and he first looked towards Jun Ruye.

Jun Ruye was more satisfied with his reaction, and felt that this fellow wasn't an embroidered pillow, and was smarter than Zhou Zhi.

Ru Yi had already come over, asking, "Someone is following us?"

Jun Ruye nodded. "I followed them from Xunfang Street. Their martial arts weren't high."

Ru Yi's eyebrows didn't move as she said, "Capture them and ask them why they are following us."

Her voice was not loud, so much so that even the waiter outside the car could not hear her. Zhou Zhi's body slanted to the side, but he could clearly hear what she said.

Jun Ruye seemed to have grown a pair of eyes on the outside. "Old Zhou doesn't need to bother with it, drive the car back to the inn."

He pursed his lips and blew a sharp, thin whistle.

The person chasing after them only felt his vision darken, and he lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.

The reason why the Dark Guard had changed to the Bright Guards was because the princess was used to them. Perhaps Emperor Qinghe didn't know the logic of not putting eggs in the same basket, but he didn't just arrange for guards to protect the Ruyi Scepter on the surface.

When Zhou Zhi returned to the inn, Jun Ruye was about to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but Jun Ruye remained silent.

Fifteen was back and had hot water for the handkerchief.

Ru Yi took it and wiped her hands before saying to Zhou Zhi, "I still have the same words. If you think you can't do it, then go back and change it to someone else."

Zhou Zhi's voice was low and hoarse. "This subordinate is incompetent. I was unable to discover that someone was following us in time."

Ru Yi returned the handkerchief to Fifteen and said carelessly, "This matter can't be blamed on you. There's still time for the deities to take a nap."

Someone knocked on the door outside and Jun Ruye went out.

Zhou Zhi let out a sigh of relief as soon as he left the room. He was afraid that something bad would happen to Ru Yi, but he was also afraid that Commander Jun would be mad. It was a good thing to leave one of the mountains now, so he continued to advise, "Young master, you saw it tonight too. It's not safe outside …"

Ru Yi didn't look at him, but looked at Big Cloud who was standing by the side, and asked softly, "Does Big Cloud also think that way?"

Xue Xianyun ignored Zhou Zhi's meaningful glance and shook his head. "Is it a kingdom under the heavens, or a shore under the earth?" He didn't say much, but Ru Yi smiled faintly.

"If I don't even dare to walk my own country boldly, what's the point of me being the king?"

"But, the son of a thousand gold can't sit still …"

"Gu did not go to a dangerous place! Gu Gu didn't go to the cliff, nor did he live under the wall. Could it be that he still had to avoid those people who had ill intentions?

Even if they could avoid it alone, what would happen to the commoners? A bad person would stop doing bad things just because of being alone? If I am to hide in the Imperial City all day, what's the difference between me being in jail and staying in the city? "

Zhou Zhi opened his mouth to say that he was useless, but Ru Yi stopped him with a raise of her hand.

"I have never seen an immortal before, so even if there really is one, it won't be omnipotent. My father, the Emperor, is the Son of Heaven, and he still has to be diligent every day. He has to review the imperial reports to the third update, but this doesn't mean that we are afraid of anything.

Furthermore, Gu Ruoyun has made a lot of preparations for this trip, and even if there's a chance, it's not your fault alone. "

Jun Ruye returned after leaving. "Someone saw it on the street and started to get interested, so they sent people to follow him …" That person's mouth could be considered hard, but he was an expert in forcing confessions among the hidden guards, "He is the junior master of the Flower Hall, he boasts of being romantic and likes to befriend people. Sometimes, he would use some unconventional methods."

Ru Yi nodded. "If there are any other crimes, they will be punished according to the law."

Jun Ruye went out again, and Ru Yi looked at Jie Yun. Seeing that he was also looking up at her, she smiled and said, "You should go and take a look. See what tricks they have up their sleeves so that we don't accidentally fall into their trap."

Zhou Zhi hurriedly said, "Young master, your subordinate would like to go as well." He was very learned and generous.

In the early Yin hour, the Fourteenth Dark Guard quietly landed on the second floor's stairs. Jun Ruye had just landed on the second floor when he appeared.

Ru Yi woke up in her room. "Get me a wet handkerchief. What's the matter?" The first sentence was to fifteen, and the second was to fourteen.

"Emperor of Jiang Country has collapsed."

Ru Yi's eyes lit up. "Let's go."

In half an hour, they arrived at the main gate of the Suzhou City. Jun Ruye had already taken the lead and rushed out when the gate was opened. Ru Yi was riding on his horse, and the rest of them also rode on their horses.

The morning wind was still a little cold, Jun Ruye lowered his head to look at the person in his embrace, and said in an unprecedented manner, "Young master should sleep first."

Ru Yi couldn't sleep at all. Her mind was filled with the words her father, the emperor, and her mother had said before they left.

In front of the three was a large map of the capital. Not only was there Yan Country, there was also Jiang, Zhao, and Tian family following Yue. Emperor Qing He pointed at the mountains on the southwest border of Jiang Country and said.

"Look, the Jishui River of Jiang Country has come from here. When we arrive at Ganzhou, this river is divided. One branch goes to the east, while the other branch becomes the Qing River of our Great Yan …"

Qing He had ordered his men to open a canal, and the canal had passed through Yunzhou, Weizhou, and so on all the way to the central region of Yan State, which was located in a flat county near Yan City. Then, they continued to head south, all the way to the prefecture where the Heavenly Treasures were located.

The canal took a lot of manpower and resources to build. "At that time, I didn't even dare to make new clothes for a year."

The emperor often smiled, wasn't he? He'd even used up all the dowry for the previous empress.

But then it got better, and once the canal was in use, the country gradually became rich.

"Jiang Si, if it wasn't for … I would've really admired him." Four years ago, Jiang wrote to King Jiang that he was going to build a dam at the Ji River. If the dam were to be built, it would be of little value to the Kingdom of Jiang, but to the Kingdom of Yan, it would be no less than having his throat strangled.

"He has the heart, but not the money." Was a dam worth one or two taels of silver? It would cost no less than the establishment of the canal.

Ru Yi pointed to the mountain range on the south side of the Jishui River and said, "This son feels that there is something good here. What does father think?"

If Ji Shui He was to be transferred to Yan Guo, it would not cause much of a loss to Jiang Guo, but it would bring great benefits to Yan Guo. If Ji Shui He was to be transferred to Yan Guo, it would not cause a great loss to Jiang Guo, but it would bring great benefits to Yan Guo.

Wang Taihang laughed. "I'm afraid this benefit is too easy for the country of Jiang."

Emperor Qing He shook his head. "The Kingdom of Jiang …" "I'm afraid there's still more trouble. I'm afraid this trouble isn't big enough …"

Ru Yi continued, "It's better for a silkworm to swallow a whale than to rouse a snake with its grass."

The father and daughter both wanted to take advantage of this situation, but they didn't want to cause too much trouble. "That's good as well, in case they end up roping in to deal with us …"

This was exactly what he meant, so he wrote two letters in high spirits and instructed them to act accordingly.

Wang Taichang's old arms and legs were not suitable for him to move forward. However, he had recommended the old official Gao Su, and Emperor Qing He had recruited Gao Su to the palace. Gao Su was an old man, so he naturally had to bring up his own grandson.

Within a few days, Gao Su took his descendants Gao Qian and Gao Ke to the north. With the name of Ancestor, he brought hundreds of servants on a boat to Weizhou. Among the servants in his family, Ru Yi specifically pointed out the elites of the Divine Battalion in the Shang Gong Bureau, and just these people alone accounted for more than half of them.

Ru Yi had her eyes closed, but her brain was still spinning. If the country was too weak, no one would dare bully her.

This was just like those poor families living in the countryside. The poorer they were, the more they were looked down upon. No one was willing to help, yet there were people constantly trampling on them.

Most of the time, they would add fuel to the fire by adding fuel to the fire by adding fuel to the fire. This was something that even ordinary citizens knew. At the very least, when the country of Jiang became chaotic, the people of Swallows would not be displeased.

It was not that no gentleman felt that it was wrong to do so, but it was a pity that no gentleman would be able to resist such folly after being cheated. Whether it was the farmer, the snake or Mr. Dongguo, they would not be so stupid if they had been lucky enough to survive this ordeal.

Tutor Qian had the air of a gentleman and was quite disdainful of schemes and tricks.

On the other hand, he also admired someone like Guan Zhong. Duke Qi Huan had political ambitions, but he was not determined. He asked Guan Zhong, and Guan Zhong said that if one ruled over the other, the country would be safe and strong. If one was safe and sound, the country would not be safe and strong.

Even Tutor Qian was impressed. "The strong of the nation gains the hearts of the people first; where does the heart of the people lie? "Wealthy people, on the other hand, have their own hearts and minds."

As for the rich and the poor, they naturally had to open their sources of income. As Guan Zhong said, developing mountain forests, salt and iron industries, developing fisheries, and increasing people's incomes, the country naturally benefited as well.

The main source of drinking water was not in their own country yet. Zhao had many forests and mines, and the ones in the south were rich in medicinal herbs.

Only the Kingdom of Yan was not far off in the middle of the four kingdoms. Fortunately, the previous emperors were diligent in their work and the lives of their citizens were not too bad.

Not to mention that Emperor Qing He and Jiang Si had a huge grudge, even if it was Ru Yi, she definitely wouldn't like such a viper. Thus, she definitely had to pull on Jiang Si's hind leg, and couldn't just passively take a beating.

Besides, if Jiang Si really became the next emperor of Jiang Country, then Yan Kingdom would truly be in danger.

Yan Guo did not have the ambition to annex Jiang Guo, but Jiang Si definitely had the ambition to rule the world. Compared to him, Jiang Muli was not even worth mentioning.

After daybreak, Jun Ruye estimated the time it would take for them to dismount and change horses. At the same time, they would also have to eat some rations. Even if they could eat on the horses, they would still need to eat some grass and drink some water.
