Chapter 133 Long live my emperor (20)

"How can I not wait for you?" King Xiqing said with a smile.

He then introduced to Yang Su: "This is Ji Yu, Ji Huaian, whom I mentioned to you."

Hearing the name, Yang Su was a little surprised. He looked at the man carefully again and sighed, "I didn't expect him to be so young..."

Where did this Ji Yu come from? Neither Yang Su nor the King of Xiqing's confidants knew clearly.

But since he appeared beside King Xiqing, the originally impulsive and foolish King Xiqing's behavior suddenly became unpredictable, and almost the entire Wenzhou, including the nearby states and counties, had secretly established contact with him.

It seemed as if they had become much closer to King Xiqing overnight.

Although the movement is not big, any perceptive person can notice it, and it may be that the situation is about to change.

Ji Huaian took his seat gracefully, as if he didn't notice Yang Su's approving look, or perhaps he was used to it.

King Xiqing clapped his hands, and servants came in with dishes, and the banquet officially began...

In fact, everyone present knew the purpose of today's banquet, but no one mentioned it.

It seemed as if it was just as King Xiqing said, a small gathering among friends.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

After hearing a few compliments from Prince Xiqing's confidants, Yang Su felt much more relaxed. He held up the wine glass with both hands and toasted Prince Xiqing who was sitting at the top of the table.

"I want to thank you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be troubled by the bandit camp and I wouldn't be able to force them to retreat with serious injuries."

Hearing him take the initiative to bring up his own affairs and show his goodwill, a confidant followed up and said, "We have all heard that there are fewer bandits near Qi County recently. Lord Yang is indeed amazing!"

Yang Su shook his head, looking a little distressed, and said quickly: "This is all thanks to the prince."

King Xiqing stroked his beard and said, "Then you are thanking the wrong person. I could not have thought of such a brilliant idea. You should thank Ji Huaian!"

"Oh?" Yang Su looked at the young man opposite him, not knowing how to address him for a moment. "Master Ji Yu is really smart. He has never been to Qi County, but he can accurately infer the location and time when the bandits appeared."

If the King of Xiqing had not sent someone to bring him the news, he would really not have been able to find or do anything to Gao Hu.

Ji Huaian nodded slightly, accepting his compliment calmly, but did not respond to his toast.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he looked like a modest gentleman.

But he was actually mocking her in his heart.

An idiot.

Yang Su felt a little embarrassed and unhappy. He was just an ordinary strategist who had a little cleverness. He didn't know what he was so proud of.

King Xiqing still had a smile on his face, but he was extremely disdainful of Yang Su...

No matter how powerful Ji Yu is, he is still an adviser under King Xiqing.

Without him as a king, this counselor is nothing.

Yang Su was really grateful that he went.

Yang Su was stunned for a moment, no longer paying attention to Ji Huaian, and turned his head and said seriously: "But the one I want to thank the most is Your Majesty. I am just a small county magistrate. How can I deserve Your Majesty's help?"

Hearing his slightly flattering words, King Xiqing felt a little better.

Ji Huaian glanced at him, as if he could see through his thoughts.

He lowered his eyes again, and his long eyelashes hid the coldness that flashed across his eyes.

Another idiot.

King Xiqing also raised his glass, took a sip, and gave Yang Su face.

Ji Huaian clenched his fist and placed it on his lips. He tilted his head slightly and coughed twice. It seemed that he was feeling unwell again...

Prince Xiqing put down his wine glass, glanced at him vaguely, and asked Yang Su with a tone as if he was concerned about a friend: "Since you have successfully injured the bandits, it should be a good thing. Why did Lord Yang seem to be worried before?"

Unexpectedly, King Xiqing noticed his previous annoyance so carefully. Yang Su couldn't help but feel a little flattered. He sighed, "The prince doesn't know something. The gangsters are extremely cunning. I tried several times to find them, but I couldn't find them." When we arrived at their lair, the county guard issued another order two days ago, ordering his subordinates to destroy the bandit camp as soon as possible."

Because of this matter, Yang Su has been having a headache for several days.

It is true that a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.

If he had been in Chaoge before, he would never have been controlled by a small county magistrate.

He came to the banquet tonight to see if King Xiqing would help him think of a solution.

I was really forced into a desperate situation.

"This matter is indeed difficult to handle..." King Xiqing also sighed, and then pretended to ask Ji Huaian, "I wonder if Huaian has any way to help Brother Yang solve the urgent problem?"

After the banquet, the unfamiliar and polite Lord Yang became Brother Yang.

Yang Su's expression moved, he felt a little touched and a little proud.

Even though he was a county magistrate in Qi County, the prince still treated him as a brother.

Ji Huaian thought for a while before saying, "Yes, there is, but it will take a few days."

He paused, and said firmly, "Master Yang, in five days at most, I will definitely find the location of the bandit camp for you."

Hearing this, Yang Su immediately stood up excitedly, bowed and saluted to the King of Xiqing, "In that case, I would like to thank you very much, Your Highness! I am sorry for your trouble!"

King Xiqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Come on, continue."

……

When the banquet was over, the moon was already at its zenith.

Only after Yang Su left did King Xiqing put away the friendly smile on his face.

"Huaian, you have clearly figured out the location of the bandit camp long ago, and even planned how to suppress them. Why didn't you tell Yang Su today?"

Ji Huaian said in a calm tone, "Yang Su is a man with high aspirations. He seems to be bold, but in fact he is timid and indecisive. How can he make up his mind if he is not pushed to the edge?"

"At the beginning, you knew that he couldn't catch Gao Hu, but you still let him win the fight and injure Gao Hu. He was arrogant for a few days and asked me to send people to disguise as robbers to rob wealthy merchants passing by. This caused complaints from wealthy merchants nearby. As long as the bandits were not eliminated, they would not go to Qi County again. This dealt a huge blow to Yang Su."

"Later, he severely injured a distant relative of the governor of Changxing County. The governor therefore ordered him to suppress the bandits and set a date to come and investigate in person. Now he is in a desperate situation."

The more King Xiqing thought about it, the more terrifying he found Ji Huaian. He had clearly never been to Changxing County, but he knew all about these things. He could even determine the location of the bandit camp based on the topographic map and the places where the bandits had appeared in the past.

"No, it's not enough." Ji Huaian smiled contemptuously, "How can I let him have everything he wants? I set a deadline of five days, firstly to make him suffer and entangle, and secondly to let him know the good intentions of the prince in winning him over."

"If it's so easy to eliminate the bandit camp, how can your ability be demonstrated?" Ji Huaian seemed respectful, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

King Xiqing thought about it and nodded approvingly.

"But for me to treat a small county magistrate as my brother is really..."

"Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Your Majesty, please be more patient."

Ji Huaian finished speaking and bowed, "I will take my leave first."

A vicious look flashed across the eyes of King Xiqing. He planned to chop Yang Su to death when he successfully broke through Qi County.

and also……

He looked at the young man's back. This boy named Ji was quite capable.

But his self-evident elegance was really annoying to look at.

He's still a tuberculosis patient!

But he is extremely useful and is loyal now, so I will use him to achieve my goal first...

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on Ji Huaian. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were dim, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, waiting for its chance to strike.

He opened his lips slightly, his voice barely audible.

"Tsk, it's boring to work for an idiot."
