Chapter 1019 The Edge of Destruction

"Yeah, it's a good thing."

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Go and call Peng Shuang over."

"Yes." Jia You took the order and left.

Not long after, Peng Shuang walked in quickly. As soon as he entered the study, he clasped his fists and bent down: "King."

He seemed to be in a good mood. Now that Cai Qin is an official of his country, he and Cai Nianrong are becoming more and more familiar with him, so naturally he has a reason to be happy.

Seeing him happy, Xiao Yuan was also happy and joked: "Why, have you a lover?"

Unexpectedly, the Lord Shang said this, and Peng Shuang blushed and he quickly laughed dryly: "The King is joking."

Xiao Yuan smiled unabated: "I ask you if you like Miss Cai."

"Ah? This, this..." Old Peng Shuang's face turned redder, but hesitated.

"This is not like our battle-hardened general, a dignified man. If you like it, you will be like it, like a woman!" Xiao Yuan pretended to be unhappy.

Peng Shuang secretly looked at his face and then said embarrassedly: "Happy...I like it."

Seeing the general, his face turned red now, Xiao Yuan held back his smile and coughed, "Since that's the case, then tomorrow, I will issue a royal edict to order you to marry Miss Cai."

"Ah?" Peng Shuang widened his eyes, then knelt down, raised his arms and fists and said, "I, thank you Wang En!"

"Okay, we are in love with each other. We like others and don't act. We also let me take care of your affairs. Having said that, the Cai family's scholarly family and the Cai family are also well-educated. You should treat others well in the future." Xiao Yuan waved his hand with a funny look.

"Yes, I'm going to leave, thank you, the king!" Peng Shuang was filled with joy.

When he left the study room, Xu Hu couldn't help but tease him, "Oh, it seems that people are so happy when they are happy."

Peng Shuangyile, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Hu Zi, this marriage is wonderful."

"Go and go!" Xu Hu shook his shoulders and said angrily: "Look at your bear-like appearance. Who doesn't know that you like Miss Cai, you are not cowardly. You want the king to do it for you."

There is no need to say that the relationship between the two is.

The next day, Wang Zhao passed on to the Cai family.

After reading the content of the edict, Cai Qin knelt down below, paused, and could only raise his hands respectfully and said: "I, thank you for your kindness."

Cai Nianrong knelt on the side, her face flushed with shame.

He closed the edict and handed it to Cai Qin. The officials who announced the edict also smiled and bowed: "Congratulations to Lord Cai."

"Haha, wherever you are." Cai Qin stood up and could only return the greeting with a dry smile.

After the official left, he couldn't help but sigh and looked at his daughter and said, "Nianrong, this king is the father..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw his daughter shyly and was stunned again. He realized that he shook his head and said, "It's good, it's good, it's good..."

Peng Shuang's affairs were handled quickly.

He and Cai Nianrong can be said to be both moved and had a good marriage.

A few days later, Yu Changqing, the former Minister of Xuanguo who was personally transferred to the order, rushed to Jiangzhou and temporarily served as the governor of Jiangzhou. Of course, there were some officials appointed by the Ministry of Personnel.

Including Deyang, officials have also taken office.

In Jiangzhou Prefecture, I met the emperor and talked to Xiao Yuan once, and Yu Changqing also went to the place where the government affairs were handed over.

Seeing him, Wang Su showed joy. Because they were all Xuanchen before, they were naturally familiar with each other. He hurriedly came out and greeted him, "Oh, Brother Changqing is finally here. I'm looking forward to you, just like a severe drought and looking forward to the rain."

"Brother Su is very serious. After a few months of separation, his charm is still the same." Yu Changqing bowed with a smile.

"Where is it, hurry up, I'll recommend it. This is Lord Cai Qin and Cai, who is currently the Lord of Jiangzhou."

"Ah, Lord Cai."

"Mr. I am polite. If there is any inappropriate matters in the future, I hope I will forgive you."

"Where is, Lord Cai is so polite..."

The three of them exchanged greetings, and Wang Su, who was temporarily in charge of Jiangzhou government affairs during this period, naturally had a reason to be happy to see Yu Changqing take over.

On the same day, after completing some handovers, Yu Changqing and Wang Su walked side by side, and couldn't help but whisper: "This time, it seems that the king was calling me over, but in fact, I, the county magistrate of Jiangzhou, are probably a temporary one, just like Brother Su."

"Oh? Brother Changqing said this?" Wang Su asked with a smile.

Yu Changqing said, "How about Cai Qin? The key member of the local government, son-in-law, and the first general. The position of the county magistrate is his sooner or later. I just came here to make a comeback."

"Haha!" Wang Su laughed cheerfully when he heard this, and said, "Brother Changqing sometimes sees too clearly, which may not be a good thing."

"Just, just joke." Yu Changqing waved his hand.

At the same time, Yueyang County.

In the hall, the county magistrate Yuan Pei was paced back and forth in front of several cases directly above.

At the beginning, there were insiders in the house.

Yueyang is another major county after Jiangzhou, and it will undoubtedly be the next target of the Qin army.

This is one of the reasons why Yuan Pei is anxious.

The second thing is to enter the capital to serve the king.

The King of Wu's order had long been conveyed to all counties that Yuan Pei had recruited young and strong men, but the recruitment of troops had little effect. He had no choice but to order for forced arrest. In just two or three days, it caused a considerable shock, and even public resentment. Many people fled with their families, but in the end he successfully recruited more than 20,000 strong men.

Seeing that he was walking and anxious, the staff couldn't help but say, "Sir, the situation is like this, Yueyang must be unable to defend it anymore. Make plans early."

Hearing this, Yuan Pei stopped and frowned and said, "Why should I, in my opinion, go to the capital to serve the king? These 20,000 strong men are ordinary people. If they go to the real battlefield, if they don't say whether they will wet their pants, they may not even be able to resist the Qin army's arrow formation!"

"The soldiers of all countries were defeated by the Qin army, not to mention the chaotic crowd. This is not a warable soldier. If you encounter Su Yi's army, you don't need to fight at all."

"But Wang Ting has sent General Pan Jin, which is very meaningful to draw strong men from all over the country." said the aide.

"Then I will give him the 20,000 young men and ask him to take him away. It is considered that Yueyang County has an explanation." Yuan Pei said directly.

The staff member was shocked and said tentatively: "Since you are going to stay in Yueyang?"

Yuan Pei sighed: "It's impossible to defend now, and it's useless to serve the king. After the regular army of the court has been fought, it's useless to just capture the strong men. No one wants to go to the battlefield for the young and strong people gathered here. Sooner or later, the Wu Kingdom is on the verge of destruction..."

"Then... surrender to the King of Qin?" the aide said tentatively again.

Yuan Pei narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "We are in Yueyang for one day, and I will be the county magistrate for one day. Once we leave, we will have no capital. The teacher should understand this principle."
