Hongshang said to Zhao Xu: "Since you can kill my husband, it shows that you have some abilities. I want you to do two things. I promise not to reveal your identity."

"Tell me? What two things do you want me to do?" Zhao Xu asked Hongshang.

Hongshang said: "First, help me kill General Ming!"

"Kill General Ming?"

Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect such a gentle woman like Hongshang to be so vicious.

Hongshang explained: "General Ming has coveted me for a long time, and has long been rebellious. I told Lang Sheng many times, but he just didn't believe me. General Ming is definitely a ruthless character, and he will rebel against Echeng sooner or later."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "What about the second one?"

"Second, release General Zheng from prison. He is a good man who was framed and sent to prison by General Ming. As long as he is here, there will be no chaos in Echeng."

Hongshang said: "In addition, I would like to add some requirements."

Zhao Xu frowned, he didn't expect this woman to have so many conditions.

"What other conditions do you want to add?" Zhao Xu asked.

"I yearn for the colorful world outside. Since you are from that world, can you take me out to see the world?"

"That's it!" Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Okay! I can agree to these three conditions. But you are not allowed to reveal my true identity to the outside world!"

Hongshang said: "Don't worry! Not only will I not reveal your identity, I will also help you handle everything in Echeng. If you want, you can continue to be the leader of your Echeng, and I will still be your wife."

Hong Shang's words were very straightforward and explicit.

Meaning: If Zhao Xu chooses to stay in Echeng.

Zhao Xu can sit back and relax and continue to be the lord of his "E City". And Hongshang will be by Zhao Xu's side as his "wife".

If Zhao Xu didn't have a family, he would naturally be willing to become the lord of the city. What's more, he would have a beautiful lady like Hongshang by his side.

Zhao Xu said to Hongshang: "I am not interested in becoming the lord of Echeng. I will not hide it from you. I came to Dawu Mountain to find a herb called Huanyangcao."

"Huanyang grass? We have it here!" Hongshang said.

"Really?" Zhao Xu asked excitedly.

Hongshang nodded and said: "We have many exotic flowers and herbs in Echeng, among which there is a herb called Huanyangcao. After you are busy with Echeng's affairs, I will take you to pick it yourself. Counting it all,

In another half month or so, it will be the time to pick the sunflower grass."

"Half a month?"

"Yes!" Hong Shang explained: "Huanyang grass is a very special herb. Even if you pick it too early, it won't be able to achieve the medicinal effect. Although it is not a fruit tree, it needs to be mature.

"

If it weren't for "Hongshang", Zhao Xuzhen wouldn't have known that the herb "Huanyang Grass" had such properties.

It's been out for a long time, so I'm not in a hurry for ten days and a half.

He nodded and said, "Okay! Then take me to see General Zheng first!"

"But you look like this..."

Zhao Xu smiled and put the mask back on his face. The bones of his body crackled for a while, and he once again became as tall as the Lord of Echeng.

Hongshang was stunned and didn't expect Zhao Xu to have such a magical ability.

After she took Zhao Xu out of the palace, she went straight to a special prison in Echeng.

There is only one man in prison.

It can be seen from this that the importance of this person is self-evident.

Zhao Xu took a look at the man in the prison and saw that this "General Zheng" had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a Chinese character face, and an awe-inspiring and upright look.

Not a bad first impression of this guy!

Hongshang whispered to Zhao Xu: "His name is Zheng Mingcheng. You can call him General Zheng or Mingcheng."

Zhao Xu nodded and ordered the prison guard: "Open the cell door!"

"Yes, leader!"

After the prison was opened, Zhao Xu walked in with Hongshang.

After Zheng Mingcheng saw Zhao Xu, he knelt down in front of Zhao Xu with heavy handcuffs and shackles on his hands and feet, and said respectfully: "I have met the leader!"

"General Zheng, get up!"

"Thank you, chief!" Zheng Mingcheng stood up from the ground with difficulty.

Zhao Xu saw that Zheng Mingcheng was unshaven. If he shaved off the beard on his face, he would be a handsome man. He said to Zheng Mingcheng in a deep voice: "Zheng Mingcheng, do you have any intention of repenting?"

"Chief, I am dedicated to Echeng and never have second thoughts. I hope the leader will investigate clearly!"

"I have checked your case. It is indeed not your fault for that matter. I am ready to reinstate you."

"Really?" Zheng Mingcheng looked happy.

Zhao Xu is also the lord of a city after all.

Pretending to be polite, he said: "You are not joking. Could it be that what I said is still false?"

"Thank you, chief!" Zheng Mingcheng knelt down again and kowtowed heavily to Zhao Xu.

He had been imprisoned for a long time, and his heart longed for freedom.

Zhao Xu called out to the guard: "Come here! Open the handcuffs and legcuffs for General Zheng."

"yes!"

The guard came over and opened the handcuffs and legcuffs for Zheng Mingcheng.

Zheng Mingcheng knelt down to Zhao Xu again and said, "Thank you, leader, for not killing me!"

"Get up!"

"yes!"

Zheng Mingcheng responded and stood up from the ground.

"Let's go, follow me to the main hall!"

Zhao Xu took Hongshang and Zheng Mingcheng to the main hall.

After arriving at the main hall, Hongshang whispered into Zhao Xu's ear: "Call Eunuch Cao and ask him to summon all the officials from Echeng, big and small."

Zhao Xu didn't expect that this small city also had eunuchs.

It seems that ancient emperors and princes were worried about problems with their concubines and relied on eunuchs.

This is also the reason why eunuchs have exclusive power in many dynasties.

Zhao Xu sat in the middle, sitting on the animal chair in the center, and told the guards: "Pass this to Eunuch Cao!"

Not long after, a man in his forties with fair skin hurried in.

After seeing Zhao Xu, he knelt down and asked respectfully: "Chief, what are your orders?"

"Eunuch Cao, let the officials of Echeng, big and small, come to see me! I have something important to announce."

"Yes, leader!"

After Eunuch Cao left, within ten minutes, all the officials of "Echeng", big and small, were summoned to the main hall.

During this period, Hongshang told Zhao Xu.

There are four leaders in Echeng.

General Si, General Ming, General Zheng, and General Gong!

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

If in modern times, the titles of these four people, combined, are exactly four words: "Justice and Integrity!"

That General Gong is a "coward, two-sided!" man. He is very good at accidents and very tactful.

Zhao Xu first glanced at "General Ming", and finally his eyes fell on "General Gong".

This General Gong is a man of short stature and unattractive appearance.

Zhao Xu never judges people by their appearance.
